As she swiped the sweat from her brow, Anya made her way back upstairs. She would have liked to have exercised longer, but she felt all types of achy and her ankle kind of hurt. To avoid further injury, she decided to end her work-out early. She dabbed more of the sweat off with her towel and took a swig of the water bottle that Bloom had given to her prior to her work-out. She leaned up against the wall, pulling up a pant-leg to check her ankle.
It looked a bit swollen and a little bruised, but nothing too bad. Still, she would have Sami take a look at it later. She took another swig of her water bottle before flipping out her cellphone to check the time. Huh, nearly dinnertime. With a thoughtful hum, Anya wondered what Mrs. Parker would be making. Well, if Bloom was actually home. If Anya recalled, Bloom had to go help out at the Love & Pets Pet Shop in someplace called "Gardenia". If that was the case, then, would Sami be making dinner? The files she had read in 2099 said that Sami had picked up Culinary skills as a hobby sometime between ages ten and twenty, the time traveler just was not sure if or when the brunette had done so.
Maybe she could sucker the brunette into making her pancakes and find out.
The sound of pots and pans hitting the floor upstairs caused Anya to rush up the stairs despite her hurt ankle. What the hell was that?
"Benjamin! What did I tell you about screwing around in the kitchen?" Bloom asked, walking into the door with bags of groceries with Sami trailing behind her.
The younger brunette huffed, "You said, "Unless you know how to cook, do not attempt to without my permission. We do not want a repeat of the flaming pancakes incident". I know! I know! I just wanted to get a snack and accidentally pulled open the pots and pans cabinet! I promise!" he explained, picking up the fallen kitchen equipment.
Mindy made a comment about Ben being a clumsy goofball before helping him out. Bloom sighed as she placed the groceries on the dining room table, asking Sami to help put them away. The brunette nodded, doing as she was told. While they were all working on putting the kitchen back together, Anya made her way up the remaining steps. A couple of grunts escaped her lips as she grasped at her maybe wounded ankle, thus earning Sami's attention.
"What happened? Went overkill on the training down there?" Sami asked playfully, retrieving an ice pack out of the freezer.
Anya nodded before sitting down at the breakfast bar. Sami tossed her an ice pack, catching it with ease, before applying it to her ankle. She informed the other that it was a little swollen, but it did not hurt too bad. Sami came over for a closer look. She applied pressure to various places on Anya's ankle, asking if it hurt when she touched those areas. It did in some areas, but not too bad. The brunette nodded, speculating that maybe the Latina twisted it or moved it the wrong way whilst training.
"If you're still not sure, I could always go look at it upstairs in the lab." Sami offered.
Anya nodded in response, giving the older brunette a smile. Sami returned the gesture before going back to helping her mother, who was scolding Ben for eating Oreos before dinner again. The younger brunette apologized repeatedly, that he just wanted a snack. Mindy jumped to Bloom's defense, telling Ben that there was plenty of fruits and vegetables in the fridge to snack on. Green eyes narrowed at the little blonde girl, the term "Kiss Ass" escaping his lips, earning another lecture from his mother for cussing. By this point, Sami and Anya were laughing hysterically at Ben's misfortune, but Sami had to reassure the younger that she was not actually laughing at him. Anya disagreed, informing him that she in fact was laughing at him.
Great, now even the new girl was laughing at him. The poor boy just could not catch a break.
The Year 2099 (two days before arrival)...
"Anya! You have to go now if you want to make it to the past! Anti-Venom is nearly through the Tower's defenses!" Miguel O'Hara hollered, ushering his niece into the teleportation module.
He was in his Spider-Man 2099 uniform, urging his niece to go without him. While he did that, the rest of their team fought off the symbiote horde that was trying to break-in. White claws, bigger than most of the people in the room, tried to pry open the emergency hatches on the doors. A horrifying roar pierced the air, causing the entire lab to rumble at the sound.
"But Uncle Miguel! What about you? Aren't you coming with me?" Anya cried, clinging to the male's arm.
"Anya, I can't! The module cannot teleport us both, you know that." Miguel said, freeing his arm from her grasp.
He grasped her by her shoulders, telling her that she knew what she was supposed to do. That if she succeeded in her mission, the future would be saved. That he would be here when she returned. He tapped at the blue spider tattoo on her arm, asking her if she remembered what this symbol meant. She nodded, telling him that it meant hope for them and the rest of humanity. He nodded, placing a kiss on her forehead for the last time. A single tear escaped her eye and rolled down her cheek.
The last thing she saw was her uncle's crying face as Anti-Venom broke through the doors before she was teleported away. She sobbed as she made her way through the various spider-verses. She knew she would not see her uncle again. This was a one way trip and he used it to save her. He used it so she could go back in time and prevent any of this from happening. He risked his life to save hers and she would never forget that.
To her left, she saw the Parker family standing in their living room. Peter and Sami had been in front of the family as a defense, investigating the portal. Anya took a deep breath.
"Here goes everything." she whispered, stepping through.
End of story.
