Author's note: This story, I'm using canon characters from the comic. Spider-Geddon didn't happen at all. This chapter is kinda a longer than I expected.

Also I do not own any Marvel characters

It was a bright and sunny day in New York, which is actually quite weird since usually there would be some villains causing chaos just right around the corner. A couple used this moment for a date. That couple is Peter and Gwen, who are now just walking around Central Park. They were talking about some stuffs, sciences, bad movies, how many women Tony Stark pissed off. You know the usual topics a normal teenager would talk about. Something Peter barely ever could, so he was enjoying it.

" So, how's your dad doing? Is he ok? " Peter asked.

" Don't worry about it. Dad is fine at the moment. He's really enjoying the peace and quiet. " Gwen replied to Peter who didn't noticed howpeculiar she described her father.

" Are you sure he can handle little Richie? He can be a little...much for him sometimes. " Peter said a bit nervous.

" Don't worry, Dad can handle him. Besides, your uncle and aunt are going out today. Let them have some fun. " Gwen reassured Peter as he then sighs in relief.

" Hey Pete, I've been meaning to ask something. " Gwen said, her cheerful demeanor gone.

" Yeah sure, what do you want to ask? " Peter said, a bit weirded out by her sudden demeanor.

Gwen stopped walking all of the sudden. The wind was picking up, a storm could be seen in a distance, the once bright and sunny weather shifted into cold and gloomy. People around them turned into crows, flying around the couple and unleashing an endless barrage of caws.

Peter stood there confused and scared of what was happening, he grabbed Gwen's shoulder and said " Gwen, let's get out of here. " He tried dragging Gwen but she didn't even budge from where she stood.

" Why didn't you catch me faster? " Gwen muttered. Her face slowly begins to rot, begining from her eyes, giving her a ghostly appearance.

Peter took a step back witnessing his girlfriend turning into some sort of a bad dream. " Hey Gwen, what's going on? You trying on a new makeup I don't know about? " Peter jokes but he's actually pretty scared right now.

" Why didn't you catch me faster!? " Gwen Peter's ears. Having super hearing doesn't really help sometimes. " What do you mea- " He was cut off with another scream from ghost Gwen.

The scream was so loud, it somehow shattered the sky like glass, changing the scenery of the park into... the bridge. Yes that Bridge. The George Washington Bridge. But Peter seem a bit confused. A minute he was with a date with Gwen. His girlfriend turn into a much more scarier version of screaming Mimi and now he is at George Washington Bridge.

He's also in his classic red and blue Spider-man costume. He checks his suit wondering what's going when he heard a familiar cackle. Yes that cackle. The one he despised the most. He turns around, just in time to see Green Goblin flying away on his glider laughing. " You'll never save her Spider-man!! " The green bastard said.

Her? Who's her ? " Peter!!!" A familiar voice suddenly calls for him. One he has fallen in love with it countless times. He looks down and sees Gwen falling. His eyes widens and he quickly dived towards her.

He stretched both his arms to shoot both web shooters. One to attach to the bridge and one reaching for Gwen. Gwen is falling incredibly fast but Spidey's web shooters were faster. In a few seconds the web was able to attach to Gwen and there was a CRACK sound.

Peter sigh in relief that he managed to catch her. He grabs her body and slowly descended to the ground. " Hey Gwen, I got you know. Don't worry. " Peter said. Gwen doesn't respond. Peter begins to worry.

" Hey Gwen, what's with the silent treatment? " Peter nervously asked. Still no respond. He slowly move his hands and removes her smooth blonde hair which is blocking her beautiful eyes but what he saw will haunt till the end of his days. Gwen's eyes are lifeless as fuck. He checks for a heartbeat but there is none. Green Goblin killed her, and he couldn't save her.

He then notices something wrong on Gwen's neck. It seem to be in a wrong position. He realised Goblin didn't kill her, he did. He broke her neck as the webbing caught her. " No. No. No. No. Please Gwen wake up. I didn't mean to do this. Please wake up. " Peter begged.

As all hope seems loss, Gwen suddenly jerks up and grabs Peter by the throat . Peter was shocked. Gwen is alive...or so he thought. He looked at Gwen when he realised he's looking at the more scarier version of Gwen. " Why didn't you catch me faster! Why didn't you save me! " Ghost Gwen screamed. Her grip around his neck tighten even more. Peter is slowly losing his conscious. He tried to call out to her to stop but he couldn't. ' Gwen. Gwen. Gwen. '

" GGGWWWEEENNN!!!!!!!!!!! " Peter screamed as his entire body jolts up. He looks at his surroundings and realised he's at his bedroom. What he just saw was just a nightmare only. Just a very bad nightmare. He checked his clock and it says 7:45 a.m. He groans about waking up so early before he got out of bed and went to the kitchen.

" That's one heck of a dream. How many are they already now? " Peter mutters while making coffee. The truth is Peter has been receiving the similar nightmares for awhile now. It also doesn't help that this week is same week of Gwen's death. " Wonder if I should get Dr. Strange to get a look into this. " Peter said. He finished making the coffee and takes a sip.

Peter begins to wander in his thoughts ' I guess I just really miss Gwen. I wish I can see her face again. And that smile, god what I would do just to see that smile again, anything. Wait...isn't there like a Spider...Gwen in another universe. Yeah, I remember. She sounds and looks just like my Gwen, the only difference is she has the Amazing factor. Not that my Gwen was not amazing as well. I remember Cindy said she's been hanging out with Spider Gwen and Jess in different dimensions right? Wonder if I should visit her or ask Cindy to let me come. Wait wait wait wait wait...Eww gross, I'm like a decade older than her and that would be creepy. Besides she's not my Gwen not that she's not good enough. I really need to stop thinking about this. We're just friends... I think, who lost each other alternate version in our own universe. Hmmmm, I wonder how I die in her universe? ' It is definitely obvious that Peter has a very weird feeling for Spider-Gwen. Is not exactly like love, probably some sort of an attachment because she's a Gwen. He won't lie, the thought of being together with Spider-Gwen did crossed his mind before. ' Probably will end up just like the rest of my relationship with women ' Peter thought sarcastically.

' Why didn't you catch me faster! ' ' Why didn't you save me ' those words keep echoing in his mind. It's starting to make him feel depress. He took out his phone and check his schedule, turns out he took care most of his work the day before so today his free, it also turns out on his free day he woke up early from a nightmare. Good Ol' Parker Luck huh? He sighed.

" I guess I'll try to sleep since I got nothing do. " He walked back into his room, as he walks towards his bed he suddenly step on something. There was mini explosion and little bit of shock he felt on his foot. " Argh!!! " He screams in pain and falls down.

He checks his foot to see if there's any injury, just a little charred nothing some healing factor couldn't fix and looks where the mini explosion spot. On that spot is or was the trans-dimensional watch thing. All parts were shattered to pieces. Now Peter is wide awake now thanks to the pain. Peter sigh again and rubs his hair. " Guess visiting Spider-Gwen is no no for sure now. "

It's noon, Peter is now visiting Gwen's grave at the cemetery. He's been visiting her grave since the start of the week. He brought some flowers and placed it on top of the grave. Peter takes a seat on the soft earth. The sight of Gwen's tombstone will always be a set of reminder to him that he failed her both as Peter Parker and Spider-man.

The wind was picking up, Peter shivered a bit from the cold. He pulls up the collar from his coat to cover up his neck. The cemetery's atmosphere is very gloomy with a bunch of dead trees at every direction you could see. Some crows appeared and rest on top of a couple tombstones. Peter looks at one of the crow's eye and he felt like the crow itself it's taunting his very soul. He quickly shook his head, the last he wants is Jameson calling him delusional.

He thoughts wander back to his nightmare. ' Why didn't you catch me faster! ' ' Why didn't you save me! ' Those words that spoke by ghost Gwen stuck on his mind.

Now, Peter also had nightmare before similar to this but somehow this the nightmare felt different, like bad different. He thought he had finally move on from Gwen, guess he didn't. To him Gwen was the love of his life. His soulmate. No one can make him happy like Gwen. So how could not save her? Why couldn't he save her!?

A sudden tear drops into Gwen's tombstone. Peter saw it and touch his cheeks and realised he had started to cry. He quickly wiped off the tears.

" Sorry Gwen, couldn't help it. I'm also very sorry I couldn't save you. I'm a terrible boyfriend right ? " Peter tried to laugh at that last part but there was only pain.

There is nothing but silence at the moment with Peter just staring at Gwen's tombstone. He closed his eyes, thinking some stuff before he got up and walks towards the exit of the cemetery.

He was about to exit the gloomy place when he thought heard ' You're already been forgiven Pete ' . He turns around but saw there's no one there. He stands there for a sec, wondering what the hell was that. ' What the hell did I put in my coffee this morning? ' Peter thought, deciding to end the issue and walked off.

Now on a busy day, Peter would have a lots of things to do since he owns a company. Paper works, meetings with a bunch of old people and a bunch of other stuff. He hardly has enough time to be Spider-man but thankfully his apprentice or his soon to be successor of the mantle, Miles got that cover. And there's always Silk.

So when Peter has the chance to be free and normal, he takes it. Right now, Peter is at a park, munching on one of New York finest delicacies, or so he proclaimed, some delicious hotdogs. Sitting on one of the bench, Peter takes the time to view the warm surroundings. Birds are singing, kids are playing either friendly or mischievously, mothers are gossiping and elders are feeding random birds. Truly, he would rather take this scenery than the horrific nightmare he had . Gosh, just thinking about it shivers Peter's body.

As Peter finish stuffing the last piece of hotdogs into his mouth, he notices a familiar young Asian beauty, Cindy Moon. She was enjoying herself with an ice cream. Peter immediately perks up, suprised to see her.

Cindy just noticed Peter and waves at him with a smile on her face. She walks towards and said " Hey Pete, mind if I sit here? " Peter nods as Cindy sits next to him.

Peter awkwardly puts a distance between both of them. Cindy took notice of this and frowns. " What's with the distance? Scare I bite? " Cindy teasingly asked.

" Well the last we were that close, we uh...you know. So yeah in a way, you might bite, by instinct. " Peter shyly replied.

Cindy eyes widen and almost drop her ice cream. Her cheeks turns red and put her I've cream closer to her face like trying to shield herself from embarrassment. " Oh Yeah. That. Totally forgot that sometimes " Cindy muttered.

It was silent for the moment, the tension is so awkward which it makes it even more awkward. Peter decides he had enough of the awkwardness. " So how are you? " " How you've been? " Both secret spiders hero say simultaneously. They pause for a moment before they began to laugh.

Immediately the tension between them was gone with the help of their laughs. " Guess that spider did more than gives us the same spider power huh? " Peter jokes. " You're right about that. " Cindy says.

They then began to chat, telling each other stories they haven't know yet. They talk for hours, like they're two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. And by a long time, I mean by a week or two. Although life as a superhero does kinda do that to you.

The sun begins to set, Peter takes a look at his watch which says it is now 5:48 p.m. He turns around and watch Cindy stretches her back and leaning against the bench, watching the majestic sun setting. He follows her watching the sun sets.

It's silence again but a comfortable one that none of them would argue. The comfortable silence was cut short as both of our heroes stomach rumble. They look at each other, a bit amuse of the coincidence before they starts to laugh again. " Pizza? " Peter asks. " Pizza. " Cindy says.

Several minutes later~

" Well, here we are. New York's Finest Pizzeria, Eddie's Pizza. " Peter says pointing to the banner. Both he and Cindy are standing at the entrance of the restaurant.

Cindy was a bit suprised how much Peter seem to give credit to the restaurant and said " It must be pretty good if you say so. "

" Oh, it really is. I've been eating their pizza ever since I've become Spider-man. They even offer me a rooftop delivery. " Peter says as he opened the door.

Both them walked in to only be greeted by a friendly looking middle age Mexican man. " Welcome to Eddie's Pizza. Peter! How nice to see you again. " The man eyes widen when he saw Peter.

"Hey Ed, business going good as usual? " Peter asked.

" You know it, Ed's Pizza still going strong. Not even Doctor Doom can bring this place down. " Eddie proudly exclaims. Both of our heroes giggles, Cindy walks to him and offer a handshake.

" I'm Cindy, Peter say this place has the best pizza in town. " Cindy says. Eddie smiles and accepted the handshake and show them their table.

" So what can I offer you two lovebirds to eat? " Eddie's asked taking out his notes ready write their order. Peter quickly replied with saying their only friends. After taking their order which is a lot for two super powered individual, Eddie left to the kitchen, a bit baffled how much they order. Super metabolism, right?

Peter took his time to look around the restaurant. Many things has change but yet it somehow remains the same. He smiles remembering the many dates he and Gwen were here. His mind then trails back to the nightmare he had. His mood dampened as he thought about it. Cindy seems to pick out the disturbances in Peter and asked " You okay? " .

Peter looks at her and starts to debate whether or not he should tell her. He doesn't want their meal to be ruin by some nightmare he had. " I...uh...I just... " Peter stuttered. Cindy put her hands on Peter's shoulder intending to calm him down. " It's okay, if you don't want to tell me but just so you know, I'm here if you need to. " Cindy reassured him.

Peter relaxes with her reassurance, he hesitantly said " Well,...it's just...this week is the same week she died. " Cindy looks at him confused before her eyes widens in realization before they turned to pity. " Oh...sorry. I didn't know. " Cindy apologized.

Peter shook his head and said " It's okay, it's not your fault. " Cindy just nodded at his response and didn't say anything afterwards. The silence was killing him, he couldn't bare it. Did he just ruined the mood? Obviously talking his dead girlfriend didn't help. He tried to break the silence but unable to do so.

' Damn it, can't believe I'm saying this but I wish Wade is here. ' Peter thought. Did Peter ever mentioned he hates awkward silence? Cause he really hates awkward silence, especially if his the cause if it. Peter spent a few more moments muttering to himself until Cindy asked him " What's she's like? "

Peter begins to smile softly and replied " Well, she's one of the few who knows I'm Spider-Man in the early if my career, and also one of the few who loves both side of me. Honestly, she was one of a kind. " He then began to tell stories about his time with Gwen to Cindy. All the good times they had together, managing to get Cindy to laugh at some of his awkward moments with Gwen.

Cindy didn't mind to listened to his stories, besides they were kinda funny, and having an angsty Peter is worse than an annoying one, so yeah. And she could also see Peter seemed to be pent up with emotions today, so letting him talk it out should help him a bit and it would seem to do just fine seeing how he was enjoying sharing his stories with her.

Just then, both of our heroes stomach started to rumble. They were getting really hungry, and just like a hero arrived to a crisis, Eddie came to their tables with their pizzas. " Here's your order, Pepperoni, Classic Chicken, BBQ chicken, Ultimate Chicken and Zesty chicken, all large with extra thick crust with stuff cheese in it. " Both Peter and Cindy eyes widened in hunger, as they greedily grabbed slices of pizzas together.

Eddie watched sigh in disbelief, honestly how could someone eat so much. His eyes then caught sight of Cindy stuffing 3 slices of pizzas together into her mouth as both him and Peter watched her in amusement. Cindy noticed their reactions and raised an eyebrow and asked " What? I'm hungry and it's really good. "

Eddie whispered Peter " Your friend quite the eater ain't she? " Peter on the other hand couldn't held back a small laugh.

The meal went well to be honest, there wasn't any villain suddenly appeared and crushed into the restaurant so that's good. Both Cindy and Peter are taking a walk, blocks away from the restaurant.

Cindy stretches her arm and let out a sigh of satisfaction. " Thanks for introducing me to the place for me Pete. The pizzas are really amazing. " She said.

Peter couldn't help but said " Is only natural since my name is part Amazing. " Cindy just rolled her eyes by the reference before she stopped and points her finger at a man walking towards an alley next to an abandoned shop. " Hey, isn't that Herman? " Cindy asks.

Peter's eyes narrowed at the direction and indeed the man is Herman otherwise known as Shocker, one of Spidey's rogue gallery, not even good at what he does to be honest. Peter sighs in annoyance " What is that idiot up to again? " Cindy nodded before gesturing for the two of them to suit up and meet at the rooftop of the abandoned shop afterwards.

" Hurry up would you! I don't have all the day. " Shocker complained as two man in a yellow hazmat suit came out from the backdoor of the abandoned shop, carrying a mysterious large suitcase.

" Quiet! We don't want to draw any attention to us. Just do what you're told and you'll get paid. " One of the man in the suit hissed back. Shocker didn't said anything afterwards aside mumbling some stuff to himself.

The two man continued and carry the case into a transport truck. They opened the backdoor and saw several other men with yellow hazmat suit arranging some crates, hosting some high tech blaster around their shoulder. One of them turn their heads towards the two of them and asks " Is that the one? One of AIM most important project? " Both of the man nodded in reply.

" Yes and also one of the most dangerous. That's why we hired Mr.Herman. He has the skills to help us if things turn south. " One of the Aim men explained. Then, they just get back to work unaware that there were two pair of eyes watching them at the rooftop.

" AIM? What are they doing here? " Spider-Man asked no one. Now, in his advance red and blue suit. His head perched over the rooftop, watching them doing their job.

" Yeah, what would make them to hire someone like Shocker? I mean, who still hires that guy? " Cindy said in a mock tone. Both of our Spider theme heroes are watching the AIM men packing some crates into the transport. They were probably about 10 of them, is not much, which also doesn't attract to many attention but it would it seem to attract enough attention to Spider-man and Silk.

" So, how should we do this? You got a plan? " Silk asked. Spider-Man listened to Silk, thinking how should they do it. But today Spidey has a lot of emotions pent up so he quickly decided and said " Nah, today I really want to punch someone, so let's go with guns blazing and glory. "

Silk looked at him, a bit suprised. Usually if it's just crooks or robbers, they don't need any plan to attack but if it's those super powered mojo, Spidey would have a plan. But Silk doesn't really mind, it's just Shocker after all. Nothing they can't handle so she just shrugged and said " Sure, why not. " Just like that, the spiders leapt into action.

" Alright, that's the last one. " One of the AIM men said carrying the last crate into the transport truck. Everyone nodded and got ready to leave, Shocker hopped into the back of the transport. And they were about to leave when they heard a familiar voice said " And that would your last time! " They turned their heads and saw Spider-man and Silk leaping towards them.

" It's the bug and the new girl! Hit it! I got this. " Shocker said and the last part in a menacing tone as he activated his gauntlets. The driver did what he was told and quickly hit the engine. Spider-Man was able to webbed an AIM man, webbing to a wall and continued to pursuit them.

" For the last time Shocker! It's arachnid, not bug! When will you learn!? " Spider-Man retorted back as he was swinging after them with Silk by his side. " Just give it a rest Pete, don't think they care anymore " Silk said while rolling her eyes. " You said that but he didn't call you a bug. " Spider-Man replied back. Suddenly, their spider sense picked up danger as they both dodged a shockwave by Shocker.

" Stay still so I can squash you bug! " Shocker growled in frustration as he sends another shockwave only for the two spider theme heroes to dodge gracefully in mid air. His eyes twitch annoyance as he turned to look and the other AIM soldiers, all eight if them just standing there doing nothing." What you waiting for! Help me out here! " Shocker said to them. The AIM soldiers look at each others and nodded, grabbed their blaster and fired at the two heroes.

" Wo-oah! There's suddenly a lot of things to dodge! " Silk said as she barely dodge a blast from the AIM men. Spider-Man did a back flip in mid air as he dodged a blast. " I got an idea, but you won't like it. " Spider-Man said to Silk. Silk raised her eyebrow and asked " What do you mean I won't lik- " She was cut off as Spider-man webbed her left arm and did a 360 spin, spinning Silk with him and launched her towards the transport truck. Silk was diving towards Shocker incredibly fast and thought ' I really hate Peter sometimes '. She webbed her right hand into web boxing glove and punched Shocker in the face, knocking him back.

The AIM men looked at her, panicked in their eyes and started to shoot towards her. Silk dodged swiftly despite the cramp space in the transport and was able to knocked one of them out. Shocker managed to get up cause...well he's persistent and growled " You gonna pay for that you bitch! " Now, Silk was having trouble, dodging shockwaves and blasters in such a cramp space. She desperately said " Spidey, I can't do this forever! "

Spider-Man nodded and started to think of something, still chasing after them until he got an idea, a very bad idea. Well at least it wasn't the first and won't be the last. ' Alright Pete, just like in the video games ' Spider-man thought, trying to calm himself down as he shot to web lines to two street lamp and slingshot himself passing the truck. He then did a 180 spin and shot another two web lines on the street and just as the truck was coming towards him, he slingshot himself towards the truck, straightening his legs.

The AIM driver saw this and gulped to himself as Spider-man hit the front of the truck with immense force stopping it. The transport however felt the impact and flip forward, and crashed onto the street, knocking everyone in it out cold. Fortunately, Silk was able to get out before it happens.

In the transport, one of the AIM man was able slowly get back up as he observed his surroundings. Everyone was knocked out except for him, Shocker's gauntlets were pretty damaged, he could see several sparks. He struggled to sit up right and felt his right hand touched something metal. He turned towards it and found out that the case that store one of the most important and dangerous project of AIM is opened and empty!

No one could see his face but his actually pretty pale upon knowing that the AIM project has escaped. ' Oh god...' Then he heard footsteps and snapped his face to the direction and in front of him stood Spider-man. Despite being his enemy he wanted to warn him of what he has unleashed so he said " You fool! What have you do- " but he was cut off as he was immediately punched in the face and knocked out.

" Finally, I really needed that. " Spider-Man said in satisfaction. " Is good to see that you're enjoying yourself. "a voice said behind him. He turned around to see Silk and said " Yeah, it does fee- " only to get cut off with a strong and not so punch on the shoulder. He winced in pain as he used his other arm to clung his injured shoulder. He turned to look at Silk and asked " What's that for!? "

" That for launching like some kind of fast ball special. " Silk said back and saw Spider-man still rubbing his shoulder, making her rolled her eyes and continued " Oh man up, is just a small punch. "

" Yeah, a small punch with a proportional strength of a spider. " Spider-Man added. Little did he know a small gooish slime was crawling towards and managed to latch itself on one of his leg. As it latched on Spider-man legs, he suddenly felt a wave of emotions in him. Anger, sadness, regret and guilt. You know typical Parker emotions except these emotions hit him like a tidal wave like never before.

" Alright let's web then up and leave to the proper authorities. " Silk said dusting her hands. " Yeah...sure " Spider-man replied, not very enthusiastic. Silk noticed this, confused by his sudden change of attitude but let slide since she remembers what Peter told him earlier . So the two webslingers webbed the yellow fishnet bastard and the bee hive group men and left the scene just before the authorities arrive not too long later.

Several minutes later~

Our two heroes are now on a rooftop, sitting on the edge of the roof. None of them said anything which annoyed and disturbed Silk, she may not admit it but she like...ok maybe 'like' is strong word, more like prefer Spider-man being the chatterbox he is. Spider-man said he 'talks' a lot to lighten the mood but most heroes didn't like it, but some do, including Silk, well most of the time. Seeing Spider-man being broody and quiet, well... it would disturbed almost everyone, knowing their usual cheerful and chatterbox hero so... angsty. Although, he does have a good reason. A sad one unfortunately. Silk just felt kinda useless being unable to help her webslingers partner out.

Spider-Man now fueled with these sudden wave of emotions, sat on the rooftop frustrated. Frustrated and confused of why he's suddenly having some sort of emotional turmoil. He wanted to scream but he couldn't, he wants to kill someone but knows not to cross that line, he wants to...to do something he doesn't even know he would think of it. Spider-Man then sighed in frustration and got up, shot a web line at a building and said to Silk " I think I'll hit the hay tonight. See ya Cindy. "

Silk nodded and said " Yeah, see y- ". She couldn't finished as Spider-man already left. She sighed to herself, ready to leave and got up before she stopped for a moment and thought' Hope Pete doesn't come across any more crime cause god help those idiots if they come across Spidey at the state he was in '. She looked at the direction Spidey went before she swung back home.

Unfortunately, Silk hope was in vain as Spider-man came across numerous criminal acts as he was swinging back home. There were 2 attempted robbery, 4 rapist, 6 attempted murders. Let's just said these criminals didn't exactly received the ' friendly ' experience with Spider-man.

Each time Spider-man stopped a crime, he kept thinking ' God, what would happen if I was too late again. What if someone get hurt because I was too late and end up just like Gwen!? '.

When he got back to his apartment, he didn't even bother to take a bath or removed his suit, only taking off his mask . He went to the bathroom and looked himself in the mirror, he noticed he was sweating more than usual.

" What's wrong with me? " Peter muttered. He left the bathroom and just jump right into his bed hoping to get a good night sleep.

As he fell deeper into his slumber, in his mind he was experiencing every tragic moment in his life, the most prominent ones are Uncle Ben and Silver Sable. Somehow, his ' dreams ' just keep getting worse and worse until he hit the one dream. The same dream he experienced last night, the Gwen dream. It was like his mind knew this was the worst one as he kept experiencing the dream over and over again. Each nightmares pass by only to get even worse, seeing Gwen died because of him, he started to cry in the real world unknowingly.

As he probably dreamt the same nightmare a million time, he woke up screaming Gwen's name. Just like in the morning, he observed his surrounding. He was sweating a lot and he noticed his face was kinda sticky wet from crying and his throat was a bit dry. The window in his room suddenly opened allowing a strong gust of wind to enter his room. The wind blew away some of his clothes and papers, clearing a spot on the floor that was lightly charred from a small explosion. On that spot was the broken trans-dimensional watch thingy.

When Peter saw the broken pieces of the device, something in him SNAP, " I need to protect Gwen, all of them. " He suddenly said. But then, the sudden memory of how he had failed Gwen as both Peter Parker and Spider-man filled him with doubt. He spent a few moments to himself crying saying how he couldn't protect Gwen because he failed already.

Peter was emotionally vulnerable at that moment, a certain something thought it was the right moment as Peter was still crying until he heard the most crazy and kinda persuasive voice with a hint of deadliness in his head.

" Perhaps I can help... "

To be continued~
