Hey everyone! Okay, this is my first story, so there's no guarantee that it'll be good. Then again, you guys can be the judge of that. With that said, enjoy! Oh, before I forget, I don't own Marvel, or anything related to any of its characters (though it would be nice to have them).

Chapter 1: Second Chance

The multiverse. It's a really big place. Countless earths and realms, it makes you wonder who the hell keeps track of everything. Well, Julia Carpenter somehow manages. Though, she only focuses on the many Spider-Men and Women across the multiverse. However, things have changed, drastically.

It started with the cross-dimensional battle with Morlun and the Inheritors, which was so great that every Spider-Man and Woman in existence banded together to stop them. In the end, many spiders were killed, and the damage was made worse by the actions of the Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, when he started tearing the Great Web apart. This left many earths unstable, some even being lost forever.

Then came the collision of Earths 616 and 1610, which not only resulted in their destruction, but the destruction of most of the multiverse.

While Earth 616 was restored, the rest were not. However, there are a few survivors of the destruction.

Inter-dimensional plane

Julia immediately noticed the destruction taking place, and the fact that she is unable to feel the effects of the collision, she won't have to worry about dying before doing what she has to.

"Come on, there has to be some earths still intact. The web's already almost gone." Julia said to herself.

She's been searching for any spider totems to save, that way the Great Web will not be completely destroyed. So the fact that almost every 30 seconds a strand burns away, which means another Earth bites the dust, it was starting to get on her nerves.

Julia already managed to salvage 2 spiders: Ben Reilly and Kaine. They were currently going through the resurrection process, which was about half way done.

Then, Julia found 2 Earths that were still intact, but growing increasingly unstable: Earth 65 and Earth 982.

Earth 65 was where Gwen Stacy got bit by the spider and became Spider-Woman, and Peter Parker was turned into the Lizard before dying in Gwen's arms. Earth 982 was an alternate future of Earth 616, in which Peter and Mary Jane had a daughter, May "Mayday" Parker, who became that earth's Spider-Girl. On that earth was also May's infant brother, Benjy, and Ben Parker of Earth 3145, a world where Peter's Uncle Ben was Spider-Man.

"Yes! Finally! Let's hope I made it in time!" Julia cheered.

Almost immediately, she plucked Gwen, Mayday, Benjy and Uncle Ben from their earths and onto her personal plane of existence. One by one, they appeared, floating in suspended animation, unconscious. Then, both earths were lost to the void.

Julia let out a sigh of relief. "I made it. I actually made it in time."

Then the Great Web stopped tearing itself apart, signifying that the terror has passed, and no more earths would perish that day.

Julia looked at the 3 people floating and set them carefully on the floor, especially Benjy.

"Now all that's left is for Ben and Kaine to come back and I can explain everything that's happened." Julia thought.

It took some time for Ben and Kaine's souls to be brought back completely, but by then Earth 616 was restored thanks to Molecule Man. The first person to wake up was Mayday.

"Ugh….where am I?" Mayday asked nobody in particular. Then the memories of her earth falling apart rushed to her in an instant and she started to panic. "Benjy?! Benjy, where are you?!" Mayday almost screamed.

She started frantically looking around the room until she found him a few feet away from her waking up from her cries. Surprisingly, Benjy didn't seem bothered and woke up as if he didn't hear his big sister at all.

"Benjy! Thank god you're okay!" Mayday said as she started hugging him like he was going to fade away any second. Of course, Benjy only giggled at the affection he was getting from his sister.

Mayday then heard a groan closeby and saw a familiar white and black costume with blue soles and a hood colored red on the inside. "Gwen?! Is that you?" Mayday asked.

"Uuuuuuggggghhhhhh…..who put all this metal in my head? I want the music variety, not the hangover one….." Gwen groaned as she tried to get her bearings.

Mayday went over to her and started gently shaking her shoulder. "Gwen? You still with me? I need someone sane to talk to right now, and Benjy isn't helping." Mayday said, trying to make a joke. This helped Gwen feel more awake as she saw the person who was shaking her. "May? Is that you?" Gwen asked.

"Yup, it's me." With that, both girls got up and started actually taking in their surroundings. "Where are we?" Gwen asked. "I dunno. I was gonna ask you that."

Gwen then noticed a familiar old man lying right behind Mayday. "Uncle Ben?!" This made Mayday turn around fast and they both ran over to make sure he was okay.

"Uncle Ben? You okay?" Mayday asked softly. Uncle Ben slowly started to wake up as he saw two girls in their respective costumes and a toddler staring at him with worried expressions. "May, Benjy? You two okay?" Uncle Ben asked. "We're fine. Sorta." "That's good." Then Uncle Ben turned over to Gwen. "Gwen? I didn't expect to see you here…...wherever here is. Are you okay?" "Yeah, just a little shaken up." Gwen replied.

"Well, I can't blame you for feeling that, considering the multiverse's latest tragedy." Julia said, which automatically gained everyone's attention. "Julia? Where are we? What's going on? Why are we here?" Mayday started asking rapidly. "Well, to answer your first question, you all are in my personal pocket dimension, which is not affected by anything that may be happening in the multiverse."

"So this is basically your world, and nothing can affect it. Neat. I wish the view was better though." Gwen said while staring at the horizon. Looking at the stars was great, but she preferred seeing the city. At least seeing Manhattan didn't freak her out a little.

"You do realize I'm blind, right? Only you would care for the view." Julia deadpanned. "Oh, right. Sorry." Gwen said sheepishly. "As for your second question May, the multiverse is close to complete destruction. Earths 616 and 1610 have collided, essentially destroying them." This caused everyone's eyes to widen. "WHAT?! But that's where Dad and Miles lived. Are they….." Mayday exclaimed, devastated by the news.

"No. They are still alive. In fact, Earth 616 was the only one to be restored completely. I'll have to get Molecule Man a gift later for that." Julia said, muttering the last bit. After all, her daughter Rachel was on earth 616 when it exploded, so when it was rebuilt, all the people that died from the collision were brought back too, including her. "Okay, so Dad's still alive. Thank god. But what about Miles?" Mayday asked, feeling worried for her friend. She wouldn't admit it, but Mayday cared a lot about Miles Morales, especially since they fought for their lives side by side. Though, she was still trying to figure out how she truly felt about him. Knowing this, since Mayday made her concern obvious, Julia said "Don't worry. Miles now resides on Earth 616 with Peter. Molecule Man also brought his family and friends along as a way to repay him for his kindness."

"Kindness? What did Miles even do?" Gwen asked. "Oh, not much. He just gave Molecule Man food since Dr Doom was torturing and starving him." "Yeah, that sounds like Miles. Always wanting to help" Mayday thought happily.

"Now, as for the third question….the collision of the two earths did more damage than I thought." Julia said solemnly. "What do you mean? How far did the damage spread?" Uncle Ben asked. "...Remember when Superior Spider-Man tried to destroy the Great Web?" Everyone nodded. "Well, because of that, the barrier between dimensions weakened. When the two earths collided, most of the multiverse went with it. I was only able to save a handful of people….."

Everyone just stood there, shocked, horrified and saddened by this news. "Wait…...when you said most of the multiverse, does that mean-" "Yes May. Your Earths were lost as well. I was barely able to get you three out in time." Julia cut Mayday off.

This had Gwen and Mayday close to breaking down almost completely. "No….but that means….." Mayday fell on her knees, still holding Benjy, as she started to cry. "Mom…..and Wes….everyone I know…..gone. For real this time." The thought of it was too much for her as she cried even harder. First it was her father, now it was everything she held dear. Then she remembered. Benjy was still with her. He was her world, essentially the only family she has left. Mayday held onto Benjy tightly, not wanting to let go.

Gwen started breaking down shortly after Mayday. "Dad, MJ, everyone….." She had nothing now. No home, no family, nothing. Just then, Uncle Ben pulled the two girls into a hug. "It's okay. We're alive, and that's what matters. We haven't lost everything." Both girls' eyes widened at this. "We still have each other. You two are not alone. Me and Benjy are still here. You two are still here. All this means is that we have to stick together."

After a few minutes of crying, Gwen asked "But where would we go? Our homes are gone, and I doubt we'll be able to stay here forever." "Well, that's part of the reason why you're here. So that I can find you all a new home. A second chance, in a way." Julia said.

Everyone's eyes almost turned to the size of dinner plates at these words. They had a chance to live normal lives again (okay, normal for a spider themed hero). "A-Are you serious?! You'll really find us a new home?!" Mayday asked, feeling ecstatic at the moment. Julia just nodded and both girls beamed, the smiles on their faces growing bigger until they cheered.

While the girls were cheering, Uncle Ben noticed that there were two balls of light that were glowing and humming. "Julia, what are those?" Uncle Ben asked. Julia turned to what he was referring to and yelped. "How long were those like that?" Mayday looked to what they were talking about and said "You mean those lights? I thought they were space versions of lamps, or mini stars, or something. They were like that the whole time."

This caused Julia to twitch a little as she shouted "Well they aren't lamps, or mini stars! They are two souls I managed to save before you all came here! When it glows that bright, it means that they are ready to be resurrected completely, body and all!" Mayday backpedaled shouting back "Well I didn't know that! Jeez, you didn't have to shout at me, you blind bat!" Just then Benjy started crying from all the noise. "And you made Benjy cry too! What's next, you gonna sic zombies on us?!" Mayday accused while trying to calm Benjy down. "As fun as that sounds, that earth was destroyed too, so you luck out. No zombies." Julia muttered bitterly. "Wait, I was just kidding! There's actually an earth filled with zombies?!" "Not anymore." "Oh….good. I hate zombies."

Getting a little irritated, Julia tapped both of the lights. Almost immediately the area was covered in a blinding light for a few seconds. When the light faded, Ben Reilly and Kaine were standing where the lights were, in their respective Scarlet Spider costumes.

"Woah. Okay, that's gotta be the trippiest resurrection I've ever felt." Ben exclaimed. "You said it man. Damn. One minute we're balls of light, then we get our bodies back. Normally it's just me crawling out of a gutter." Kaine groaned, trying to get used to his new body.

"Welcome back. It shouldn't take long for the both of you to get used to your bodies again. I assume you heard my explanation?" Julia asked the two clones. "Yeah, we heard. We even got an echo effect thanks to being a floating light bulb." Ben said with a grin on his face. "See, I told you!" Mayday bragged. "Why do I even bother? They're all as bad as Peter" Julia thought, as the Parkers' antics drained her. "Well, isn't this a nice family reunion." Kaine said as Mayday ran up to hug him, leaving Uncle Ben to carry Benjy (A/N:Jeez, I'm trying really hard not to mix any of them up.) "Uncle Kaine! You're alive!" "What, you thought I'd be that easy to kill?" "To be fair bro, Julia did resurrect you just now, so yeah." Ben joked. "Uhhhh, she resurrected you too you know, and I lasted longer than you, so what have you got to say to that Mr. Smartass?" Kaine asked, practically daring Ben to make an idiot out of himself. "...I had a better death." "Oh bullshit! I died fighting that crazy-ass family in my huge spider form!" "Who tore you apart limb from limb, and used said limbs to kill you. Mine was quick and painless." "I don't recall dying from an explosion to the face being 'painless'." "Well, it was to me, so shut up." "I swear to god Ben, I'm gonna kick your ass when we get home."

"HEY! No swearing in front of Benjy! Last thing he needs is a potty mouth when he gets older." Mayday reprimanded while covering Benjy's ears throughout the argument. "Mayday, he's a baby. I doubt he'll pick stuff like that up so soon." Gwen said. "Says you! He already figured out how to use his powers from just watching me and Dad goof around!" "Wow, smart kid. You should probably watch your mouth from now on, bro." Ben said. "...Fine." Kaine groaned.

"*sigh* Never a dull moment with you guys, huh?" Julia asked. "Hey, you should be used to this by now." Ben said. "Not going there. Anyway, now that everyone's present and accounted for, I think now's a good time to explain what's going to happen to the six of you." "As long as we don't become space hobos, I'll be fine with whatever." Kaine said with a bored tone. "So, what will happen to us exactly? Will we be relocated to another Earth?" Uncle Ben asked. "Actually, yes. You will. And this earth will be one all of you should be somewhat familiar with." "Aaaaaannnnnnndddddd, that earth is…...what?" Gwen asked, getting more and more curious. Then, Julia started to smile. "Earth 616."

Everyone's jaw dropped. "Wait, we're going home?!" Ben and Kaine asked in unison. "616? That's where Peter lives….." Gwen said, officially awestruck at the idea of seeing Peter again, even if it's not exactly the same Peter she grew up with. "That's where Dad is…...I get to see Dad again…...We get to see Dad again, Benjy!" Mayday told Benjy, happiness filling every part of her. "May, I have to warn you. Earth 616 is not exactly like your Earth. It may have a similar past, but there are already many inconsistencies." Julia told Mayday. "What do you mean?" "I mean that this Peter isn't the same one that raised you. Aside from an age difference, he's not married to Mary Jane anymore because of Mephisto, and he has his own company."

Hearing the mention of their brother owning a company, Ben and Kaine were on Julia in an instant. They stared at her with unblinking eyes as they said "What. Did. You. Just. Say?" "I-I said that Peter has his own company now, Parker Industries. Superior Spider-Man was the one that created it, but Peter made it better when he took his body back." Julia said, a little startled by the feeling of their eyes on her. Then Ben grabbed her by the shoulders. "How rich is he?" "Well, right now people are basically calling him a 'poor man's Tony Stark', so I'm guessing he's really rich." "...Kaine?" "Yeah?" "...When we find Peter, we're making him share his money with us." "Oh hell yeah. That's not even a debate." "Don't worry kids, we won't leave you out of it." Ben said to Mayday and Gwen. They both silently cheered at the thought of being rich.

"*cough* So, are you all ready to depart?" Julia asked. "Hold on a second there, Julia." Uncle Ben said sternly. "Before we leave, I have a few questions." "Of course, Ben. What is it?" "First of all, how exactly are we going to explain how 4 people just came back from the dead. Last time I checked, Kaine, Ben Reilly and Gwen are dead on Earth 616." "Oh, that's easy, after all, people tend to come back from the dead on a regular basis on earth 616. Very rarely does one person stay dead forever. Ben Reilly and Kaine could pull this excuse easily. As for Gwen, well, she's been cloned a lot on that earth, so we could use that excuse for the public. Though, for you Ben, it's going to be trickier, so I would just suggest you stay under the radar."

"...Okay, I guess. Now, for my second question, would it be possible to let Peter know in advance that we're coming?" "Nope. I like messing with him, so this is too good of an opportunity to pass up." Julia replied immediately. Everyone just sweatdropped at that statement. Well, everyone except Ben and Kaine, they had a shit-eating grin on both of their faces. "Okay, I'm starting to remember why I liked you Julia." Ben said happily. "I'm pretty sure that as the new Madame Webb, it's practically her job to mess with Peter's head in any way possible. That would seriously explain all the cryptic messages he used to get." Kaine deadpanned. "Yup. I tend to make it my personal goal." The sweatdrop got bigger as Mayday thought "Dad had to put up with this? I wish I had known! I would've grabbed popcorn for me and Benjy and just watch Dad blow a head gasket or two, or twenty!" This made her giggle at the thought.

"Anything else?" "Hmmmm…..I guess not. Peter could probably answer the rest of my questions when we see him." Uncle Ben said, somewhat satisfied. "Ben Reilly, Kaine, anything you two want to get off your chest before we depart?" Julia asked the two clones. "Actually, just two: how are we gonna make our entrance and will it screw with Peter's head?" Ben asked, almost acting like a kid ready to start a prank. "And will it piss him off?" Kaine asked in a similar manner. "We're using portals similar to the ones you all used during the fight with the Inheritors. If you're looking to piss him off and/or mess with his head, I could alter it slightly so that you land on him." Julia said with a mischievous smile on her face. "Do it." the clones replied. "Oh, also, is my face still butt-ugly or what?" Kaine asked. "That's something you'll have to find out when we get there." Julia replied. Kaine grumbled at this, with Ben looking at him like he was a living joke.

"May? Do you have any concerns?" "Oh...ummmm…...I'm just wondering how Dad's gonna take this. I hope there won't be any problems." Mayday said with uncertainty. "Gwen?" Julia asked. "Well…...is Peter...you know….." Gwen dragged on, her face red. "Yes Gwen, he's single. Him and Cindy aren't an item. They're just friends." Julia answered with a genuine smile on her face, finding Gwen's embarrassment both amusing and cute. Gwen's face flushed even more as she simply nodded. Even Benjy found this amusing as he giggled at Gwen's expense. "Okay, so with that settled, let's get going everyone. Your new home awaits." Julia declared as she opened a portal that led to Earth 616. Everyone walked through the portal, excited to reunite with Peter.

A/N: Okay, so that was my first chapter for this story. As you can tell, this is my version of what happened after Spider-Verse and Secret Wars. A part of me was always interested in Spider-Gwen meeting Peter, and so far, I've only found one story where it happens. While that story was good, I felt the need to make my own version. There will be more chapters coming, so this isn't a one-shot. Since this is my first story, forgive me if the characters seem OOC. So, hopefully you all liked it. If not, oh well, can't please everyone. Be sure to review, express your thoughts, opinions and suggestions, and I'll see you guys later.
