Into the spider-verse again
Miles was laying on his bed chilling. Sunflower was blazing in his earphones. He finally did it. Embracing his abilities as spiderman instilled in him a new enthusiasm for life and a fulfilment he never quiet found before. Sure he hung out with his friends before, wasn't socially awkward (not including his first encounter with Gwen!), his passion for Graffiti but now his recent experiences coupled with his abilities gave him a renewed sense of purpose.
He was walking down the neighbourhood when .. a kid dropped his ice-cream it slowed down a person was talking to his boss while the mayo off the sandwich he was eating went splat on his face while his expression which should have morphed into a frown froze into.. well something else. A car screeches for an unusually long time before skidding.." Wait what the heck is going on?" Miles thought before a sudden chill crawled through his skin. Suddenly he turned around and ran, seconds later hearing a gunshot before coming to a still."" guess the sixth sense sort of kicked in" he thought before he threw a couple of shots taping his back pack and pushing the garbage can covering it. "next ones coming out of your allowance kiddo" echoed his dad's words in his mind.
The bullet barely managed to graze off of the shopkeeper's head in the tussle before a gust of wind swooped in and disarmed the robber. Then he went ahead and knocked him out. Then two more robbers emerged with guns to their heads. Two quick web-shots to their heads and mouths and before they could realize it they were tied to the back alley with the title "property of police" on them.
End of flashback
All of a sudden a similar looking portal opened up in his ceiling and he realized it was Gwen calling him. With a quick text to his parents he grabbed his bag-pack picked up his suit and jumped in.
Simultaneously he felt he was everywhere and no-where like pieces of him were being shred apart and blended simultaneously together and being strewn everywhere before landing face first on the floor.
Gwen was waiting for him, she said "Guess your reflexes still needs work" with a grin on her face. Miles got up and wiped off the pasta and sauce from his face. " I didn't exactly bring a change of clothes" wrapping the oversized towel around himself. Gwen stared at him before she started laughing.
" What's so funny?" he asked. She slowed down before sputtering "nothing just remembered something about someone saying something about puberty".
Miles looked at her, he couldn't remember anytime he saw Gwen laughing like this. He thought that maybe she really feels comfortable around him . She seemed lighter, her hair was still the same except more like the second time she met her since it had been a couple days we met, her voice didn't carry the otherwise sombre tone this time, which probably means it's a social visit before registering what she said.
" Uhh yeah I guess" "nice comeback idiot" he thought before eyeing some clean pyjamas that was probably belonged to Gwen's dad.
"There's a car chase happening be right back"
"Want me to help you"?
"No I got this you can..uhh take a shower considering" gestures towards him.
"Oh okay" and with that he waited till Gwen was out of side before turning…and seeing his sauce smeared chin and across his lower lip, arms and legs in the mirror.
"So much for making an impression" he thought before taking in the room. There were some paintings of famous drummers, photos as well concerts that she was a part of. Looking around he saw a drum set laying around there. "Ya lets give it a shot"
You think after all this time high speed car chase would be the last way to make an escape, given that the resident superhero can literally cross entire neighbourhoods within a minute and the fact that many criminals have already tried and failed in the past. But some fools every now and then decided to test their luck every now and then. But the trick was to not damage any other cars along the way.
Gwen had trained for this. Ever since she heard Peter(in the other universe) able to stop a moving train she knew she finally had a way to stop the mini carnage that usually accompanied stopping car chases.
But she had to time it right, taking a second to catch her breath….the first two webs already touching the target before she jumped off the police car, bullets whizzing past her before the thieves took a sharp turn and swerved right. Before they could empty another clip the gun was already out of his hands and and both his hands were coated in web white, while he registered all of a sudden the car jerked upward.
"What the hell is going on?" his partner asked sporting similar "web cuffs" before he suddenly hit the roof and an odd feeling of being lifted upwards followed by weightlessness set in before stopping suddenly a few feet off the ground.
Gwen watched from the top of a building as the police cuffed and escorted them away. She did it. The tough part was ensuring the thieves were not injured in the process. That and" The destruction of property due to your intervention cannot be greater than the police themselves otherwise you might as well just not do it!", that was the last thing a lawyer told her when she first started out. Of course given her identity was unknown suing would be a tad bit impossible but public perception was important as well. Looking back she couldn't help but wonder maybe that was frustration and ungratefulness directed towards her than just advice about acceptable superhuman behaviour.
"Anyways this was better than all the other times" she thought while getting back.
Meanwhile at her house Miles was having the time of his life. Headphones blasting away sunflower by Swan lee while he was dancing away and singing …wearing a towel. He had just finished taking a shower after which he decided to belt out to the tunes and play it on the drums, right after the chorus finished before a loud "ahem" alerted a presence in the room.
He stopped and turned nearly dropping his towel. Gwen quickly closed her eyes while he put on pyjamas. "So how much of that did you see?" "Just enough" she replied with a smirk.
Visibly embarrassed she decided to go easy on him and moved the conversation forward. "So you wanna go out"? "Where" he asked. " How about a movie and then maybe we grab a bite to eat?"
"Is this a date".. "Sure let's go" he said "Meet me on the roof" before catching the steam stained mirror in the bathroom. "That's weird how long was I gone for"…
Miles and Gwen swung through the sprawling skyline of New York city. Miles took in the city. At first glance it seemed like a replica of back home but a deeper look revealed obvious differences in design. For example some of the corporate buildings had futuristic designs the likes of which he had never seen, one of the buildings was even shaped like a swastika with a hideous head that almost looked like a weird emoji.
"Did world war 2 happen over here?" pointing in that direction slightly disturbed by that building. "
Yeah it did" she replied raised an eyebrow after landing not really understanding what he was talking about. Miles decided to shrug it off for a later time to learn more about the new universe and to help him blend here.
"Please turn off your cellphones and.." the instructions played out while Gwen snatched Miles's smartphone away. Then someone nudged him on the elbow before taking his popcorn away before Peter landed beside him while swiftly taking the cold drink away from Gwen took it back.
"Hey Peter how's it going?"
"Oh you know MJ and I started talking again she was willing to try things again. Spiderman was missing for a couple of days so my return was met with a positive reception". Well actually it was mostly positive not considering the homeless goon who held a family hostage when just to get some publicity to fulfil his bucket list but Peter decided to leave that bit out for another day.
"Listen after the movies can we go someplace private we need to talk about something".
" Sure what's up" Gwen asked
"Have you guys noticed anything strange?" Seeing the looks he received upon his choice of words he continued.
