Time to find out if Peter and Michelle will get back together or has something worse happened?
Chapter 5-
Sanctum Sanctorum:
Two hours had passed since Stephen and Peter had brought Michelle back with them. Everyone was sat in the living room while Peter Three was looking at all the magical artefacts, having Peter Two stopping him from touching anything.
"Where's Pete?" Peter Two asked then Wanda pointed out in the hallway; Peter was still in his costume while pacing around the room.
"He's been out there waiting for news about Michelle." Wanda explained then they heard footsteps, the group looked outside to see Pete walking towards the front doors. "Peter!" Wanda shouted as she and Happy ran after him.
"I need to get out of here for a bit." Pete explained then he looked at Happy. "Happy, if Mister Strange has any news about MJ…" Pete was about to continue when Happy walked over and placed his hand on Pete's shoulder.
"I'll let you know as soon as." Happy promised and Pete nodded then Pete ran outside and swung away. "Any idea what could've made Michelle collapse?" Happy asked as he looked at Wanda, who was puzzled.
"Not at the moment," Wanda admitted, making Happy worry. He then looked at the other Peters; who were talking with Ned. "It's odd to see other versions of Peter; they're so alike but also different." Happy pointed out and Wanda nodded. They were happy that the two Peters were here to support their Peter.
Meanwhile:
Up at Hell's Kitchen, Spider-Man was standing on top of the Portside Grain building whilst looking over at the ocean. It was quiet when Spider-Man was then joined by another figure, he looked behind to see the other Spidey that Peter Three told him about.
"Gwen Stacy?" Spider-Man asked as the other Spidey pulled back her hood then removed her mask, revealing Gwen's face. "What brings you here?" Spider-Man asked as Gwen sat on the edge of the building.
"I come here because it's peaceful up here. And I was hoping to meet you again, wondering if you could teach me how to be a better Spidey." Gwen explained which caught Spider-Man off guard. "If you're busy right now, then maybe another time." Gwen was about to put her mask on but Spidey placed a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm free, just got something on my mind." Spider-Man explained then the pair looked at each other. "Do you really want to do this? Be a web swinging crime fighter?" Spidey asked and Gwen nodded with a smile. "Okay then. Get your mask on and hood up, let's go." Spider-Man told her and Gwen smiled as she put her mask on then lifted up her hood.
"Can I just say; I love the new suit. Especially that white Spider." Gwen complimented and Spidey chuckled as he shot a web onto a lamp post.
"Follow me. I'm going to show you how to live up to the Spidey name." Spider-Man told her and Gwen nodded as they jumped off the building and started swinging down the streets; shocking and surprising the civilians as now, there was more than one Spidey.
Sanctum Sanctorum:
Everyone was still waiting for news from Stephen when they saw him walk into the room. Everyone looked at him as Wanda and Happy stood up while the other Peters picked up their masks.
"She's alright. Alive, just unconscious. She did wake up for a moment but only said one thing. A name." Stephen told them as he sat in his armchair. "There might be hope in this world for our friend." Stephen spoke as he looked directly at Wanda and Happy, they were hoping that meant what they thought it meant.
Meanwhile:
"There's two webheads?" A thug shouted at a castle. Spider-Man and Gwen were currently stopping some thugs from attacking civilians at Belvedere Castle in Central Park. The pair were working well together, until Gwen got grabbed by a big tough guy.
"Did your parents teach you that's not you hug someone?" The big guy looked up to see Spider-Man pointing his left wrist at him, Spidey then tightened his finger press which made him shoot an electric web; it hit the thug in the shoulder and stunned him, allowing Gwen to knock him out with an elbow to the face.
"WOW! That was… wow!" Gwen explained under her mask as Spidey walked over to her. "Nice electric webs. Sorry I got caught." Gwen apologised then Spider-Man placed his left hand on her right shoulder.
"Hey. It happens to the best of us. I've lost count how many times it happened to me when I was starting to be a hero, it still happens to me today. But not as much." Spider-Man explained then the pair fired a web and swung away. Until they landed on a rooftop, where there was no one about.
"I wonder how my Dad feels about you, as a hero." Gwen started as she pulled back her hood then removed her mask as the pair on the edge. "He's a Police Captain. Captain George Stacy. I heard that you have a few fans with the Police." Gwen smiled which made Spidey chuckle.
"Gwen, if you're serious about being a hero, there's one rule that I go by and you must also go by." Spider-Man told her which got Gwen's attention. "With great power, comes great responsibility. It means while you have this power, you must use it for the right reasons at the right time. Using it as Gwen Stacy in public, bad move. But if you use it as Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman or Ghost Spider, whilst being a hero; that's the right time to use it." Spider-Man explained and Gwen nodded as she agreed to the rule.
"I want to be a hero. As for my name, I'm torn between Spider-Woman or Ghost Spider." Gwen explained then she looked up as Spider-Man stood up, looking down at her.
"I got to take a break for a bit. Take care of some personal stuff." Spider-Man explained then Gwen picked up her mask and stood up. "See you around, Gwen Stacy." Spider-Man waved as he walked off the edge. Gwen's mouth dropped then she was relieved when she saw the webhead swinging away into the distance.
"Wow! Now, that's style." Gwen exclaimed as she put on her mask and put up her hood, she then jumped off the roof and swung towards her apartment.
Later:
At the Sanctum Sanctorum, Wanda and Stephen were sitting in the living room while Ned was asleep on the couch. The two Peters had left to swing around the city when the front doors opened, Pete ran in wearing his civilian clothes as he ran into the living room. Stephen and Wanda stood up to see Peter.
"I was putting on some clothes when I checked my phone to see that Ned messaged me, saying that something happened to MJ." Pete explained whilst panicking. Wanda calmed him down by giving him a hug, that surprised Pete but he went along with it by hugging Wanda.
"She's alright. Happy is upstairs, keeping an eye on her." Wanda explained which made Pete feel a little calmer.
"Peter. When I was using my magic to check her mind, she said something. A name." Stephen started which made Peter's head shot up, looking directly at Strange. "Your name. Peter." Stephen told him then he remembered something.
"I don't think the spell worked!" Peter exclaimed as he looked at Stephen and Wanda, he and Wanda could tell that Stephen was confused. "Ned told Peter Two that MJ has always worn the Black Dahlia necklace. Then he told me that there's been times where he's seen MJ look at necklace and a tear rolled down her face." Pete explained which made Stephen puzzled.
"If what you've told me is true, there is a chance that the feelings Michelle has for you are even stronger than the spell. Remarkable." Stephen was surprised until they were interrupted by Happy joining them.
"Pete, MJ wants to see you." Happy told him then Pete ran up the stairs and towards the spare bedroom. "Young love, it's sweet." Happy smiled and Wanda nodded while Stephen was thinking.
Upstairs:
Pete was outside the bedroom then he looked down and saw his suit's sleeve, he pulled his jacket sleeve down to cover it. He then took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, there was Michelle laying on the bed, still fully dressed.
"Hey Pete." MJ moaned as she was starting to wake up. Hearing Michelle say his name again made Peter feel almost happy.
"Hey. You remember me?" Pete asked as he slowly walked in and towards the bed. Michelle sat up and held out her right hand, Peter then sat on the bed and held her hand.
"Do you really think that Strange's spell would stop me from loving you?" MJ asked and that made a tear appear in Peter's eye. Michelle smiled as she used her left hand to wipe the tear away.
"Sorry. It's just that I'm glad that you're back. In my life." Peter smiled as another tear rolled down his face. MJ smiled then noticed some red and blue under his jacket, she pushed up Pete's jacket sleeve to see more of Peter's suit.
"No fancy way of hiding your suit?" Michelle asked but Peter chuckled as he shook his head.
"Nope. Doing this the old fashion way. Like the other Peters, you remember them?" Pete told her and MJ nodded. "You wanna see the new suit?" Pete asked and Michelle nodded. Peter quickly walked outside the room then after a couple of minutes, Pete walked in wearing his new Spider-Man suit.
"Holy hell! That's… that's beyond cool!" Michelle shouted as she jumped out the bed and walked around Peter, looking at his suit. "I like it! Even that new white Spider, so much better than the black and red versions." Michelle admitted then she watched as Peter walked over to a window and opened it.
"What do you say?" Pete asked which puzzled Michelle. Peter fired a web at MJ then pulled her over, he caught her as he wrapped his right arm around Michelle's waist.
"What you waiting for, Spider-Man? Show me the city from your view." Michelle told him then Peter climbed out of the window. And whilst still holding Michelle with his right arm, he used his left arm to swing away for them to catch up and be alone.
Chrysler Building:
After a long swing, the pair were now at the top of the Chrysler Building; Peter was standing on edge overlooking the city while Michelle was sitting with her back against the wall.
"I remember everything I did when I didn't remember you." Michelle spoke up which made Peter turn around and look at her. "I got a friend living across from me in my apartment; Gwen Stacy. She's nice." Michelle told him and Peter nodded.
"I know. I already met her but there's more about her that she hasn't told you." Peter told her which made Michelle puzzled. "Gwen is different. Like how I'm different." Peter explained and Michelle quickly picked up what he meant.
"She's got spider powers too?" Michelle shouted at Peter, who nodded as he sat next to her. "How did you find out?" Michelle asked but before Pete could answer, they heard something land on the walls behind them. The pair looked up and there were the two other Spider-Men. "Did you break the Multiverse again?" Michelle asked as she folded her arms and looked at Pete.
"No. The Scarlet Witch summoned us here," Peter Two answered as he and Peter Three climbed down and sat on the edge of the building. "We've been looking for you, Pete. That new Spidey is good. You're doing a good job teaching her." Peter Two complimented.
"I know this is a change of subject but I was wondering about something," Peter Three started which got the group's attention. "Am I the only one that now wants a new suit?" Peter Three asked as he looked at his Spidey suit then he looked at Peter Two's suit.
"I'm fine with this one. I hardly use it much anyways." Peter Two explained as he reached behind him and handed a photo to Michelle. "I spend more time being a husband and father than Spider-Man. And besides, this Peter ain't the only one that took on a newbie. I did too; he's called Miles. Miles Morales; he got his powers from an advanced spider. He recently found out his spider had bio-electro kinesis." Peter Two explained which surprised everyone as Michelle handed back the photo to Peter Two.
"I work with a partner now too, my girlfriend." Peter Three smiled which confused Michelle. "Felicia. Felicia Hardy. She's a hero, like me. She's got grappling hooks in the shape of a cat's claw. Calls herself the Black Cat. We spend our couples time as both Peter and Felicia, as well as Spider-Man and Black Cat." Peter Three explained as a smile appeared on his face.
"Peter Three?" Peter One asked as he looked at Peter Three, who was still smiling. "I think I might just the suit design for you." Peter One smiled then he looked at Michelle. "Wanna tag in? Make up for the time we lost when you didn't remember me?" Pete asked with a smile. Michelle smiled as he took hold of both Pete's hands
"Try and keep me away." Michelle answered which made Pete smile more, as well as the other Peters.
"Just need to contact Happy and get some of Mister Stark's suit equipment." Peter One explained as he put on his mask then he pressed the right side of his mask. "Hey Happy, it's Peter. I was wondering if I could borrow some tech from Mister Stark." Peter asked while the others waited for a response.
"Sure thing, Peter. I'll have it waiting at my place. You remember where to go?" Happy asked and Peter nodded.
"Of course. Thanks again, Happy." Peter One thanked then he pressed the right side of his mask again, ending the call. "Happy said yes. Let's get going, it will be at his place." Peter told them as he took hold of Michelle while the other Peters put on their masks. The trio then started swinging towards Happy's apartment.
So Peter and Michelle are back together, thanks to their friends. What is Peter thinking about doing for his Spidey friends? What else will happen?
See you all next time!
