(Earth-1610)
May's House (Two days Later)
Miles's trips out of the bathroom. He had his school uniform, as he stretches his collar. He glances at Gwen and Tom carrying clothes of the same uniform. Gwen enters the bathroom, and locks the door.
"You guys ready?" Miguel said, calling from downstairs.
"I am." Miles races downstairs.
He finds the Gang gathering around Miguel. His eyes glances at Peter, dressed like a busy office person.
"What's with you?" said Miles. He sits on the couch behind Peter.
"What?" said Peter.
"The clothes! Where'd you get the clothes?"
"Oh! May found them. It was Ben's."
May hands him a glass of water and half of the paroxetine.
"Why half?" He said.
"Too much of it, you won't remember much." she said.
Miles shrugs and drinks the pills. A few minutes later, Gwen came out with the same vison's uniform she had, for as long as he could remember. She sat across from him and her legs cross.
"Are we starting?" said Porker.
"No." Said Miguel. "We're waiting for Tom."
Tom wall stunts on the stairs and flips.
"Ready!" Said Tom. "Did I miss anything?"
"Okay, can we get this over with? Did you call your friend Miles?" said Miguel.
"Yeah. He's on the bus." He said.
"Good. So pretty much the plan is simple we get to Boston. Get our rooms. Find the Alchemax lab, get a goober made, find files with Cindy's name, find her dimension. Boot up that collider, or wherever it is, send Cindy and the three Peter's back. And destroy that collider! Easy."
"As always!" Said Peter.
"They're. HQ does look like a military base to be honest."
The bus honks, shocking the neighborhood. The group looks to the window and back at Miguel.
"Well? Ya know what to do. Go!"

Vision school bus, on the road (3:30pm)
Miles's eyes dropped, after three hours on the road.
"Listen up, Kids. Little low on fuel, gonna stop at the station not long from here." Said the driver.
He opens his heavy eyes. He peeks over and sees Gwen sitting with her legs up, staring out at the streets. Tom and Ganke snickering at each other. He finds Peter sitting next to him, looking at the floor, fiddling with his finger.
Miles sighs.
"Bad luck, huh." He said.
"Huh?" said Peter.
"MJ, You know."
"Like I said man. Not everything works that way."
Miles nods.
"I wish. I was just placed at the wrong time. She already has a kid and a house too."
"I'm sorry." Said Miles.
"No, you're fine." Said Peter, He glances around and leans in. "The hard about this isn't losing people, It's. About finding people who are willing to give chances."
Miles hugs his knees, tucking his head.
"You okay?" said Peter.
"I'm fine."
"Look, I made a lot mistakes too Kid. If you wanna know something, don't do the things like they do."
Miles raises his head, glowing red, glancing at Peter.
He chuckles. "Don't worry you still have twenty more years kid. You'll learn."

Local Gas Station, Interstate-90 (3:58pm)
"They're stopping." Said Andy.
"Stay with them." Miguel said, speaking through Peni's goober.
Cindy's eyes sparkles, gazing at the oaks, and the singing birds. Her ears caught their tunes, as she swaying to every chirp. Andy drives at high speed, with windows were down, the wind smashing her face.
The exited out of the interstate into a normal gas station surrounded with pine trees. She glances at Porker and gives him a wide stare. He ate a whole Nathan's hot dog in one go. She looks at her stomach and grasps.
"Hey! keep her here." said Andy, looking to the spiderlings in the back.
Andy exits the car and walks to the store. She smells a strong stench, that made her pinch her nose.
"You seriously need to stop that." Said Peni.
"So what? I'm a cartoon! They smoke in the 30's and 40's."
"They were banned long after!" said Peni.
"Doesn't mean I can do it!"
Noir smacks Porker. A Cigar pops from his snot. He grabs it, puts it out, and takes out a match.
"Will this solve your problems?"
"That's It!"
Noir tumbles with Porker. Peni and SP/DR tries to separate them. Cindy looks to Tobey with his head hanging, that made her raises an eyebrow. She taps his head.
"Huh? What?" said Tobey.
She points to where Tobey was holding his, under part tight.
"Oh. Yeah. If Andy haven't taken the keys." He said.
She crawls to the front seat and looks to the local shop. It was small, and it was label as 'Kwik-E-Stop' the small building was gloomy and rusted. The asphalt was fractured and littered. She finds Peter, Gwen, Tom, and Miles walking in.
She looks and scraps through the junk in the glove compartment and the cup holders. She finds, the key sitting next to a bottle of rum. She picks the bottle of rum.
"No. Cindy." Said Tobey. "A Key is that small silver thing pointing out, ya know? With buttons?"
She looks back. Her eyes catches the key slot under the wheel and finds a small black device with buttons. Her eyes gape and smiles. She takes out the device, revealing a long sliver key. She shows it to Tobey.
"Huh. That's a first." Said Tobey, "Don't follow me. Understand?"
Tobey exit and runs inside. Cindy crosses her arms, she glances at the others, who were still caught on strings. Her eyes sparkles at a horse, in a merry go round in front of the store. She grins. She grabs her bookbag and her katanas. She watches the three other Spiders, and exits the car. She crouches and sprints to the horse.
She hops on, and shakes it. she looks at a dispenser It pictures a silver coin. She looks at her Katana, that was silver and sticks it in. She growls, and shakes the dispenser. It breaks off, and sticks to her hand. She roars. Her eyes glances inside, a bag of nacho cheese. She smiles.

Inside, Kwik-E-Stop (Now)
She walks with the dispenser dragging the floor and looks to a vendor, a tall scrawny male, with gold earrings. She grins and waves at him, the vendor peeps at her and takes out a magazine. She glances to the bag of nacho cheese, and snatches it. She opens it. She bites it. The cheesy flavors sizzle her taste buds, and her eyes gape. She grabs a handful and stuffs it in her mouth. Leaving cheesy spices on her hands.
"Does your mom know you're here?"
Cindy sticks herself into a corner. She peeks over and finds Gwen and Miles leaning against a freezer.
"Yeah she knows don't worry!" said Miles.
They walked to the next aisle. She creeps to the freezer. her eyes gaze at a can of corona. She reaches for the door and opens it. She snatches the can. The can of corona freezes in her hands. She looks at the tag.
Imported Beer from Mexico.
She shrugs, opens the can and smells a strong scent. She takes a small sip, her taste buds stings with sourness, and bitterness. She sticks her tongue and gags. She shrugs and takes a big gulp. She turns a corner.
The Vendor stood right in her path.
"You know you have to pay for that right."
Cindy gape, she looks ahead and sees the entrance. She takes off to the other aisle. The vendor bumps into her.
"Hey!" said the vendor. "Do you know you're parents, like, are they like here?"
Cindy stares at the door, as the vendor follows her eyes.
"I'ma keep you around till the police arrives okay? Give me that. By the way you're not suppose to drink."
The vendor seizes Cindy's hands. She hears the screams of her friends, Jessica, Mayday, Ben, Julia. She felt the zaps of her body, being locked in cages, finding her powers, her temperature rises. She stunts the vendor and pulls her katana out, roaring at him.
Her wrists was jammed from another hand. She looks, it was Andy.
"Not okay!" He pulls her by his side and rips the katana from her hands.
Tobey arrives as Miles, Gwen, Tom, and Peter came out from the aisle.
"What just happened?" said Peter.
"Nothing." Said Andy, he turns to the vendor. "Sorry. Do you, have any black cherries, or any car chargers."
The vendor's cold hands points to the counter.
"Thanks." Said Andy, dragging Cindy as she resists, trying to jerk from her hands as he grabs the pack of cigarettes, chargers, and leaves a hundred dollar bill.
"Let's go." Said Andy.
Tobey and Andy walks out of the store. Cindy was screaming, hitting Andy.
"What did I tell you!" said Andy to Tobey. "She's one goddamn troublemaker."
"Nah." Said Tobey.
"Nah?! She was gonna kill him! It's like what He said! She's made a killer!"
Tobey turns to Andy.
"She hasn't seen the sun in over a hundred days, isolated, brainwashed. She's new to this world. Let her learn"
Tobey walks away, as Cindy breathes and stops moving. Andy looks to Cindy, who gave him puppy eyes.
"Let's go." Andy releases her. Cindy looks at her wrist with a large red mark of his big hands. She looks at Andy, as he enters the van, and honks. She runs towards it.
