Prompt: Old School
Characters: Miles Morales, Miguel O'Hara, Gwen Stacy, Hobie Brown, Pavtir Prabhakar, Peter B. Parker, LYLA, Mary Jane Watson, Mayday Parker.
Plot: The group after finding out that Miguel has not seen any movies from their time decides to host a movie night.
"Miguel O'Hara!" Peter shouted as he stormed into the lair of said leader. Miguel froze, racking his brain as to what he could have done to upset the older one again. He turns around to see Peter making his way over with the spiderlings in tow. Miles, Gwen, Pavitr, Hobie, and Mayday were hot on Peter's heels.
"Is there a reason you screaming at me?" Miguel turned his full attention to the group's webb themselves up to the platform.
"What movies did you watch as a kid?"
…what?
Miguel was really confused now. What did that have to do with anything? He stared blankly at the man when Peter exhaled sharply.
"Seriously? Well, have you seen Monster House? Kill Bill? Polar Express?" Peter ranted as the teen stared at him expectantly. What were they expecting? Miguel continues to stare as Peter, now on a full-blown rant, can't name movies that Miguel never heard of. The longer Miguel stayed silent the more Peter ranted. "Come on! How could you not have heard of these?!"
The others started in shock as well making that red-eyed man shift on the spot.
"What does this have to do with anything?" He snapped annoyed.
"This is important team bonding stuff, Tio," Miles butted in "No offense but when were you born? These are classic in our times.'' That statement cleared up any confusion in Miguel's mind. A fun fact that a lot of people in the Spider Society forget.
Miguel was born in 2074. Almost a century after the original Spiderman. The movies they were naming were ancient and outdated. Also as a kid, he was more focused on being out of the house away from his father than on movies. Before he could say Anthony a familiar yellow glow popped up over his shoulder.
"Oh, those are old at this time." Lyla the ever-loyal AI answers. "Are they from the early 2000s?"
The others nodded, not aware of where this was going "Miguel was born on December 1 in the year 2074. When he was born, those movies have been heard of for years." Lyla giggled. The others stared at the two. Miguel turned around to go back to work when he heard
"We missed your birthday?" Pav whispered sadly. Miguel looked down at the young man staring at him.
"I don't celebrate my birthday so it doesn't matter." Miguel went back to work stubbornly. Unfortunately the other had a different idea.
"Lyla shut down the office. We are going to watch some movies for a while." Peter ordered as he grabbed Miguel by his arm, opened a portal, and threw him through it.
Miguel landed flat on his back in the Parker-Watson Living Room. Before he could move, a loud squeal made itself known as a small red blur landed on his chest. Mayday began babbling to him as he made his way to his feet, just in time to greet Mary Jane.
"MJ good to see you," Miguel nodded as he handed the woman her baby. The others made their way into the room, shouting their greetings to the redhead. Peter rushed over to his wife.
"MJ, Miguel has heard of Harry Potter! We are having an emergency movie night!" kissing his wife and child on the cheek and helping to sit. MJ turns to Miguel in shock. Siad Spiderman shrugged.
"Well, have you heard of Star Trek or Star Wars?" she asked. Miguel stared at her before making a huge mistake by asking,
"They're not the same thing?"
The way the entire room froze on the spot, you think he announced that he was kingpin himself. Two hours later, after a lot of arguing, yelling and three escape attempts from Miguel, who found out Lyla locked him out saying he needed a break, the group was sitting in front of the TV as Petter slid the first Harry Potter movie vowing they would watch the Star Trek series next. Miguel sat between Peter and Hobie as the movie played. The group made jokes and insults to the Dursleys. Miguel kept pointing out plot holes and faults.
"Why did Harry run away? At some point, he had to realize that they hated him. Honestly, the streets are better than that family."
When he got the letter.
"So they knew he was under the stairs and didn't help?"
When Hermione walked into the carriage
"How is she going to demand that they do magic when they just met."
It got worse when Snape and Dumbledore came on the scene.
"How is this school running? Isn't there a Board of Directors to report them to? I honestly would have burned it down-"
Miles webbed Miguel's mouth shut causing the older man to glare at him. The rest of the movie was enjoyable. As the rest of the evening went by Peter and MJ figured out that the kids and Miguel fell asleep halfway through Prisoner Of Azkaban. Hobie was peacefully asleep against The Latino shoulder. while Gwen, Pavtir, and Miles were curled contently on the floor. The two grab blankets to cover everyone.
"You know I finally found out about Miguel's birthday?" Peter whispered as they finished tucking the other in. MJ turned to look at him. "It's December first."
"So he's a Sagittarius?" Mj hummed as she looked at the sleeping man on the couch. A small laugh leaves her lips. "Yeah, that tracks. We should have another movie day."
"Agreed." Peter hummed as he kissed her.
