For some reason, I couldn't find Marvel Rising but just picture that version of Gwen while reading this. This is set in the Venom movie verse. Azula's powers are altered here but it's still blue.


Gwen Stacy woke up to see a clear night sky filled with stars.

Am I sleeping on a rooftop?

This was odd. She sat up and felt an annoying headache. She didn't recall drinking last night. She was pretty sure she had never tasted alcohol in her life. And she was still underage. She looked around and found billboards with anime and writing in a foreign language.

That's…odd. Did New York become Tokyo or something?

She stood up and took a good look at the city she was in. There was no Big Apple, Times Square was entirely different and most of the civilians were Asian.

Oh, you've got to be kidding!

She saw her schoolbag next to her and picked it up. She searched until she could feel her cell phone. Acting quickly she tried calling Glory. After a few seconds.

"Gwen? What's up?"

"Hey Glory, so I'm in Tokyo and I can't remember how I got here".

"Gwen…you went to Japan to perform. It's your first gig".

"What?!"

"Yeah, you said you were going on your first tour and you were going to perform in Tokyo".

There was silence for a few seconds.

"You seriously don't remember that?"

She needed to get back to the concert tour bus. She had to find a way back.

Unfortunately, she couldn't speak Japanese. So, she was doomed. But maybe some of the civilians know English. This was the twenty-first century so she had to be positive. She walked across town and noticed everyone staring at her. She wasn't wearing her suit, but she was in her stage outfit. So she was showing more skin than she liked. She kept having an unpleasant feeling of everyone staring at her. Little did she know that perverted eyes were following her trail.

As she walked across town, she realized that she was too slow walking, so maybe Ghost Spider can get there faster. She needed to change. There was a restaurant close by. Maybe she can change in the restroom. As she walked in, she caught the attention of almost all the customers. She knew why. Smiling awkwardly, she rushed to the bathroom.

Not long after, some men in suits came in and walked up to the manager, and spoke in Japanese. 'We're looking for a blonde white woman, did she enter here?'

'Yes and she wasn't wearing anything practical', the manager answered.

'Where is she?'

'She went to the women's restroom'

The men went to the restroom and kicked the door open. The manager started complaining. They checked and they couldn't find her.

Ghost Spider was swinging across town and people took pictures of the vigilante, wondering who she was and why she was in Tokyo. She glided into a truck. Holding on she received a call from her manager Travis Barker. "Uh hey Travis, what's up?"

"What's up? You haven't come back from your little stroll across town".

Stroll? What the # $% is he talking about? The voice in her Klyntar DNA asked in her head.

Maybe Gwen lied to him about it just to go swinging around town. The voice in her Spider DNA answered.

"Why would I do that", she said out loud.

"You said you needed fresh air, but you said you were only going a few blocks ahead. I'm looking all over town for you".

"Uh, dumb question but…where can I find the tour bus?"

"…by a building with a billboard in Japanese writing but with an anime character".

"Oh wait, found you".

Ghost Spider shot string from both wrist and propelled herself to the billboard. She crawled up and over to the rooftop and changed into her civilian outfit. She had to go all the way down to the dining area when she realized everyone was in black tie event suits and dresses. Gwen was in her stage outfit. "Shit!"

Go to the ladies' room and change there! The blonde rushed to the nearest room and found it to be a dressing room. She found a selection of outfits that suit her. She looked at the golden dress. "This will have to do, Gwenom, think you can copy this?"

With pleasure!

Gwen's whole outfit formed into a copy of the dress. Now the hair! Gwen's hair formed into wavy curls and her lips were in red. Ugh red? Seriously?

Someone's coming!

But it was too late, the door already opened and walking in was Travis Barker. "Gwen! How did you get here?!"

"I uh…subway?"

"Wha-actually nevermind, you came just in time".

Travis brought her into the dining area and he announced with a microphone. "Ladies and gentleman, may I introduce the princess of rock, Gwen Stacy!" Everyone applauded.

One girl was looking at her in amazement but turned around on her seat and ate the food that was served at her table. Gwen didn't notice but was smiling awkwardly at the crowd.

"And now she will perform with an acoustic version of her hit song", Travis took Gwen to the stage.

Wait I don't know what I'm supposed to perform!

That's why we store your memories and feed them back to you genius! Here is your memory of the song.

What would I do without you guys?

After performing, Gwen walked to her table but bumped into one of the guests. "Oh so-,"

She was interrupted by the woman's scowl only for it to be replaced with embarrassment. "Uh Miss Stacy! You were wonderful!"

"Uh, thanks?" Not knowing how to act, she walked past her.

"Princess Azula! You should be dining with your fiance now".

The princess looked at her lady-in-waiting and scowled. 'Just when things were going smoothly'.

Azula just tuned everything out during dinner. She had a million thoughts in her head. She met a singer face to face but it was awkward and there was very little time. She had to see her again, fortunately she could arrange that.

"Your Highness?" her two advisors, Lo and Li, spoke to her.

Azula sat up and looked at the two elderly women. "The chef just asked you a question". The princess just looked at the chef hoping that he would repeat himself.

"Would you like ramen or Zosui?"

"Zosui, thank you".

The chef bowed politely and Azula's brother, Emperor Zuko noticed that she was zoned out.

Later that night, Zuko and Azula were in a limo and the Emperor took this opportunity to talk to his sister.

"So Azula, you have been zoned out the entire time we were at the hotel. What's bothering you?"

"Nothing, just thinking of that ball we agreed to host…will that blonde singer be there?"

"Yes, she is famous and she will be in Japan for five weeks".

Azula smiled but quickly looked away to hide her blushing.
