When Peni met the other universe's spidermen, she couldn't help but stare at Peter Parker.
"So what can you do?" Peter asked while the others stared at her.
"This is my mech, the SP/der." Peni said with a smile.
"I got bitten by a telepathic spider that controls the SP/der and now i'm its pilot, see?"
Peni lifts her arm and a red palm sized spider crawls onto her hand.
She immediately hops into SP/der and demonstrates its functions, and abilities.
After the light show, she hopped out and bowed to the audience, walking towards the group again.
"Not bad kid," Peter said.
Peni blushed.
After Peni returned to her universe. She couldn't help but think about Peter.
"Peter b Parker…" she whispered softly, while covering herself in her bed sheets.
Although the name stuck to her, she couldn't help but think about how stupid she looked.
"What? I'm old enough to be your dad." Peter said puzzled.
They were alone in the lab, half of the lights were on.
"I know," Peni said defeated "but when you go back to your universe, and I go back to mine, do you promise not to forget about me?"
Peni stopped there and watched his face. He wasn't shocked or surprised, he looked simply unfazed.
"Ugh... I don't know maybe it's a stupid crush or something." Peni said solemnly.
"Don't…" Peter started "Don't think that way."
"You're allowed to have crushes, but you're still young, and look at how smart you are, you can pilot a mech!" his smile faded to a composed stance.
"There are plenty of boys in your school who'll have a crush on you, so don't wait on it."
Peni stared wide eyed at his statement.
"Listen." Peter stood up and walked towards the door, "you'll grow out of it."
"Wait!"
He turned around to see her red face.
"I'm not going to forget about you. And when I'm older I'm going to see you again."
Peter's face softened as he chuckled softly.
"Goodnight Peni." He said as he left.
