The Other Quentin Beck by keepitmythy

Summary
The first Quentin Beck, our villain, which we shall call Quentin Beck Prime, as he is both the original to this dimension and derivative in his methods, lies dying on the Tower Bridge in London, killed by his own mad scheme, which hasn’t quite yet reached its conclusion.
The other Quentin Beck, our hero, arrives one week later and lies, not dead but certainly not in prime condition (although much better than Prime’s condition), on the roof of a building in New York City.
There are things that will differentiate him from Quentin Beck Prime that will become relevant in the days to come, but for now, one minute after his arrival, the only thing that differentiates Quentin Beck from Quentin Beck Prime is their relative states of being alive or not.
AKA: one week after one Quentin Beck dies on the Tower Bridge in London, another arrives in New York City, and Peter finds out that his troubles aren't as over as he would wish they were.
Edited as of 8/26/2018, when I realized the time skip between the end of FFH and its post credits scene was a week, not later that day as I had originally thought.

Summary
A series of oneshots in no particular order intended to expand on and explain the alternate Quentin Beck’s backstory, as well as other alternate versions of characters from the main universe.
This is intended to be a companion piece to my Unqualified Heroes series, so if you haven’t read The Other Quentin Beck I’d recommend it.
Updates sporadically when I have something to put here, not kept to a specific update schedule like the main storyline

Summary
GuyInTheChair: Ok, so what’s the plan, again?
Arachnikid: May and I are going to pick you and MJ up around noon, get to the airport around one. Plane leaves at four so that should be plenty of time. Matt, are you sure you don’t want to come? We can still get a ticket.
DevilYouKnow: Nah, I’m good. Someone’s gotta keep the city safe while you all are gone.
Dahlia: Beck’s coming, though, right?
FishbowlHead: I’ll meet you at the airport. Perks of Sorcerery means never taking normal transportation.
