Miguel let out a groan, he didn't know how long he had been out. All he knows is he is on the floor with a killer headache. He thank god the light was dim otherwise he would want to kill himself.
"Had a nice nap sleeping beauty?" he heard Lyla from above, he was about to get up till he felt his stomach churn "Bucket to you right." Miguel quickly grabbed the bucket to throw up in it. He groaned, praying he didn't eat something weird like the last time 'it' took over.
"How long I was out?" Miguel breathed out trying to see if he still needed to throw up.
"Four hours," Lyla said as she appeared in front of Miguel. "It getting longer you know?"
"Lo sé" Miguel said the last thing he remembered was he was fighting the metal, Rino. He was trying to end the fight as he could tell his last dose before the mission was wearing off. Then he saw Miles run toward him to push him out of the way of the explosion. He saw him bleed then…
"What are my stats?"
"It was 30% human, 70% spider the last time check. It is now 45% human and 55% spider. That is higher than the last time, Miguel. I think we should explore another opinion."
"No."
Lyla sigh. She an A.I. but she knows how stubborn he is. She doesn't totally blame him he got hurt so many times by the people he trust. And doesn't want people to get hurt because of him. Not again.
"Fine but check if there is any new mutation."
Miguel dissolves his costume down to his waist. He looked around his body so far the only thing to note that he looked a little bigger, and might have grown an inch or two. His forearm looks more swollen and there is what looks like a rash growing on the side of his body.
"There a rash on your back too."
"Noted." Miguel still examines his body till Lyla notes that Miguel wasn't wearing his watch
"Did take your watch off?"
Miguel look down at Wirst to see his watch wasn't there. He vaguely remembers he took it off the moment that he teleported here. Not risking if 'it' knows how to use it. He try to remember where he put it. He webbed up to the platform to look around it see that desk was all clawed up. Knowing another problem he has to fix later. He decides to pull up cameras. Playing back the last four hours. He saw that he was crawling everywhere. Claws and bashing anything he could get hold of. Miguel couldn't help but cringe, and see what 'it' does when it takes over. His eyes then widened when he saw Mils, Gwen, Pavtr, and Hobie enter the lab.
"Lyla! I thought you locked the lab down!?"
"I did! But your boy Miles has electric powers remember? It blocked me out so I couldn't the lab. Boy, can't take hint." Lyla said in a defiant tone. They both saw that Miles had taken the watch. Miguel guess he was in a panic and he wouldn't blame him since he was chasing him again. Making their relationship more rocky than it already was.
"It doesn't matter I have to get it back. it has the file I need to help with glitching I've been having." Miguel then grab the backup gizmo that he kept just in case.
"Do want me to call Miles here?" Lyla suggested Miguel shook his head the last thing he need is a 15 teen your old boy having a panic attack because it was like second time Miguel chase him out of the lab. "I'll go to him. Hopefully, he'll didn't broke it.
'Shit I broke it.' Miles thought look at the watch he took from Miduel's lab. He didn't mean to grab it. But being change by a nearly 7ft hulking man twice in your life can make anyone not think straight. 'Miguel going to kill me when found out i took his watch.
Gwen, Hobie, and Pravtr left not too long go. All four themes try to figure out what just happen. They didn't what to do. Hobie suggests that they talk to Peter B. thinking he must of know something since he one first-person Miguel recruited. Gwen and Pravtr were also going with him. Miles would go but he was over-exhausted from today's event and he has school tomorrow, the last thing he needs is to get behind again.
Miles laying on his bed try to figure out how he going to fix watch. The mechanical thing was not his forte. Maybe he get in contact with Margo, she great with this kind of stuff. Miles was going to get in contact with her till he heard a knock from his window. Miles eyes widen think it was Gwen and them returning but they usually just teleport in his room. Miles went to the window to see who is it. To his shock it was Miguel who was wear his mask clinging to the wall. But Miles can tell Miguel was his 'normal' self.
"Uh hi, tío." Miles said trying not to die from shock as he had only been chased by him a couple of hour ago.
Miguel glared even through his mask not liking to be call tio but he let slide. He has a bigger issue "Morales. Can I come in?"
"I mean do I have to? It's late and-"
"Morales, I'm clingy on the wall, I don't stick like other spider-people. I'm tired and it raining hard.
"How about a please?" Miles said with a smirk trying one up Miguel even if it's small.
Miguel growled but he snapped out of it "Can I please come in?" Miles nodded not wanting to push him. Don't know if Miguel going feral again. Miles opened the window wide enough for Miguel to squeeze through which was a struggle given how big Miguel is.
'Was he always this big?' Miles noted that Miguel did look a little bigger the last time he saw Miguel in person.
"You have a very small window."
"Maybe if you didn't have a big ass," Miles said under his breath hoping Miguel didn't hear. Judging by the glare he got, he heard. Miles quickly changes the subject not wanting to be killed and really wants the answer on what going on.
"So… are you going to explain what happened to the warehouse?" Miles asked only asking that one for now.
"I was chasing the anomaly from another earth it seems this anomaly knows about the 'Spider-verise' I was trying to capture it but he teleported to your world. I trying to deal with this myself not wanting you to get involved."
"Why not call me? I thought we agreed we help each other more?" Miles said arms folded. Was a bit hurt that Miguel wouldn't contact him. he knows that they don't see eye to eye but at least Miles would like to provide himself to him.
"Look, I was busy taking care of him and-" Miguel paused. Not wanting to tell Miles the real reason why he didn't call Miles was he already felt like he was losing it. Even though he inject himself before the mission, Miguel realize he was burning through his injection faster then usual, he still didn't understand the reason for it.
"Just forget about it. I know I should at least info you about it as soon as i can. But right now, I need the watch that you took from my lab." Miguel said trying not to stay longer he need to. He don't know when the next blackout will happen and it better it be in the lab then here in Miles's room. Miles cringed hoping Miguel didn't ask about it. Miguel fold his arm and start to tap his foot as he was started to be impatient. Miles gave in hoping Miguel wasn't going be too mad at him. He show the broken watch which Miguel dissolve his mask in disbelief.
"Well, you see… You kind of chase us a-and I panic. I didn't mean to grab your watch. You were chasing us and…"
Miguel grab his head started to remember Miles,Gwen, Hobie,and Pravtr was there in his lab. He saw how he look on there faces. How they were afraid.
'Prey. Protect'
"Miguel?"
Miguel broke from his thought pushing 'it' down in his mind. His attention went back to Miles who have a concerned look on his face.
"Are you ok? Tio?"
"I'm fine. Lyla, can recover any of the files?" Miguel said as Lyla appear in front of them. She scan the watch and then shook her head as glitched in and out.
"Sorry, Miguel the system is not only crush but fried too. Kid, I thought you could control that?"
"I can! I just freaked out because you were chasing us. Which you still have to explain that by the way." Miles exclaim. Miguel rubs his temple from stress and resists the urge to grab the first thing he sees and destroy it out of frustration.
"That file was my only hope."
"File? What going on Miguel? you're not this secretive. Derramarlo."
Miguel before he could answer Miles till both their watches went off. Miles looks at his watch to see who was calling and see earth-42 Miles Morales on the screen.
