Takes place right after Into the Spider-Verse. Lots of comic references ahead. (I'm sorry if I didn't portray Miguel accurately. He's one of the Spideys that I haven read many comics on.)
-Prologue-
Miguel took out his teleporter bracelet and examined it.
"You got a problem with it, honey?"
He blinked as he heard his AI, Lyla quip.
"No! No! Just, stop breathing down my neck! Geez!"
"I don't have breath."
"Shhh!"
Miguel's gaze shifted back to his huge display of monitors with various spider-people seen on the screens. He looked up as he heard someone enter his lair.
A girl with short brown hair wearing a dark blue and red spider suit walked into the dark room. She frowned, "What's going on?"
"I think the multiverse is in danger." Miguel said.
The girl scoffed. "Well that escalated quickly."
"Mayday, just..." Miguel suppressed a groan.
He had been practicing jumps between worlds frequently now, and Mayday was the first one he visited. It was not because he liked her, however. He found her to be very resistant and prideful, and just difficult to work with.
"I've been watching the webs. Spiders are beginning to disappear every day. I dug into it and it seems their deaths were all connected."
Mayday glanced at the monitors with a judgemental expression, pursing her lips.
"Mmokay?"
Miguel groaned.
Lyla perked up. "I think what he was trying to point out is that all of the spider people are in danger."
"Who's gone so far?"
"Golden-Sponge Cakes, Spider-Moon-Man, Spider-Wolf, Dr. Aikman, and about twenty others." Miguel said. "Haven't seen Noir in a bit, but there's no evidence that he might be dead—"
"Who's Noir?" Mayday said.
"A 1933's version of Peter Parker."
"I hope he's better than the real Peter Parker because I—"
"Don't!" Miguel snapped. "I don't want to hear your family drama for the one millionth time. Here; take this."
He grabbed Mayday's hand, fastening the teleporter onto her wrist. Mayday scowled at her interruption, but looked back down at the teleporter in mild interest.
"What's this?"
"Teleporter." Miguel said. "Supposed to take you where all of the missing spiders ended up. All we need is a peek."
"I don't think so, Miguel!" Mayday raised her hands in indifference. "Look, I'm not going into the mouth of a lion for some dude I've barely known for a week."
"Well Spider 67 didn't work out, and I have to be at the base— you're all I've got!"
"Nuh-uh. Not interested." Mayday said.
"Seriously? You don't want to be the first spider woman to use this?"
Mayday narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Fine. Just a peek."
She lifted her wrist to her face, tapping at the mechanisms on the teleporter.
"How does this gizmo work?"
"Oh. Right." Miguel reaches toward the teleporter and Mayday smacked his hand away.
"Hey! I got this. I was talking to myself." Mayday said. She found a groove with a dial and a button. "Aha! Here we go!"
She pressed the button and with a bright blue flash, she vanished.
