It had been hours since Gwen last heard from Miles. She had to deal with an anomaly that got into her Earth. It took her an hour to get to the spider society not because of dealing with anomaly but because her watch wouldn't work. Should couldn't even call anyone to pick them up. As she walks around the Spider Society to see Spider-people panicking try figure out what going on. Gwen decide to head to the Go-Home-machine room to see what going on when she got there she saw both Margo and Peni working together on the machine. Judging by the panicked look they have something was wrong.
"Hey, Peni. Hey Margo. What going on?"
Margo look up at the computer surprised to see Gwen was there.
"G-Gwen. How was able to get here?"
"What do you mean? I have been here for like min."
"No, I'm how got in the spider society? All the portals aren't working!" Margo said she went back to looking at the computer to figure out what going on the portal. Lyla then appears also looking worried. Glitching in front of many screens.
"I mean it took me an hour to get here". Gwen said as she was Still using the watch Hobie made for them, thinking it went faulty again. She looks at her watch, and even though Hobie was able to make their watches they were not perfect compared to Miguel's but she refuses to get a new watch from Miguel.
"There was like 'Multiuniversal electric storm' the caused electric disrupt that cut almost all tides of the web," Lyla said. Gwen was trying to wrap her head around on what Lyla had just said. Lyla can tell that Gwen was not getting what she just told her. Margo but in
"She saying that no one have been able to teleport in or out of their earths. The fact you were able to teleport here is pure luck." Margo said
"Do you think this has something to do with the collider issue on Earth 42?" Peni said. Gwen raises her eyebrow wondering what Peni is talking about.
"What do you mean collider issue on Earth-42?"
"Yea, Earth 42 Miles called Miles and Miguel about that. What I got before I lost contact with them. Was it seems like 1610 - Doc Ock is working together with Sinster Six of that Earth. When the collider started up, I lost contact with them. I still can reach them."
Gwen's eyes went wide, not only that the Doc Ock that she fought when she first was trap in Miles's world was alive. She thought she was hit by a truck. But now Miles was trapped on earth-42 again. With Miguel.
"Why no one tell me?!" Gwen said freaking out the Mile is trap with Miguel of all people he can be trap with. It was like a couple hours ago they were being Chased by him.
"I just got the message, love." Gwen then turn to see who spoke and she saw Hobie and Pavitr walking over. "Lil bro Miles just text me that he was going on earth-42 with Miguel and us to be on standby."
"Both of us had that same problem. So i'm guessing this have something to due with the collider problem that Miles and Mr.O'Hara is dealing with. Right?" Pavitr said with a worried look on his face.
"I overheard them say that when the collider starts it prevents anything from coming in which is weird. to suppose the effect, something must of happen with that." Peni said try figure out what was going on. Hobie then notice that Lyla kept glitching back to one screen. One that has Miguel's name and some number on it. It almost look like thing Gwen said that she saw at the lab. Hobie walk over to Lyla who didn't notice him at first as she was so focused with the Problem.
"You and your ex-boss keeping a secret or something?" Hobie said, which caused Lyla to swipe away the screen hoping Hobie did a full look at.
"Sorry Hobie can't tell-
"Cut the crap. You and Miguel always have something to hide. Does the cunt really not trust anyone?" Hobie said loud enough that everyone turned to Him and Lyla. Lyla doesn't want attention to back fixing the system problem even though she is mostly a cheerful AI she doesn't blame Miguel for being annoyed with Hobie rebellious behavior.
"Hobie. Miguel is a private man. Even if he wasn't I still couldn't tell you nor I would. Now please let us go back on fixing this? The less distraction I have the faster I can get Miles and Miguel back." Lyla then looked back and Margo and Peni quickly went back to the computer. Hobie not liking the answer he was getting and knows he might have to try something drastic. He doesn't like the idea that his little bro is trapped with a guy with issues. Pravitr and Gwen walk next to him wondering what that was about.
"Maybe we should let them get back to work? I mean our arguing isn't getting us far. " Pavitr said and Gwen nodded to agree. Their arguing isn't helping. Hobie just frowns. Before he did what he was going to do. He make sure they were the only people in the 'GO-HOME-MICHINE' room.
"Hey, Lyla!" Hobie yelled at Lyla then turn back annoyed by this
"Hobie can you-"
"Lyla override protocol code:2099. override password, Gabriella." Hobie commanded which turn Lyla's colors from the usual yellow to red. Lyla also stops glitching out. Everyone was surprised by this while Lyla had shocked look on her face.
"On the protocol order: 2099: you have to tell us all the files that Miguel has been hiding."
"Hobie please don't make do this." Lyla's pleading tone even made Hobie think twice about it. But he has to know what going on with Miguel. Not only for 42 and Miles stake but Miguel's too.
"That a command order." Hobie said with a steirn tone. Probably the most serious they ever heard Hobie. Lyla sigh wishes she can override the command but it's in her programming. She can't deny the command, she glitched every were to make sure there were only spiders in here. When she was sure she then brought up three files up on screen which had like lock on them. Lyla then snaps her finger to unlock them. One of the files float down toward Hobie, Gwen, and Pavitr. Hobie was about to open it till Lyla got in front of.
"You have to promise me that none of you will tell anyone about this. This is… this is Miguel's life and he very private man. You have promised me like you would for a real person." Lyla said in a serious tone already feel like she fails to keep Miguel's stuff secret. Hobie grinned
"What do you think will gossip or something?"
"You were the one who spread the vampire rumor about," Lyla said folding her arms
"Guilty. But in all seriousness, we won't. I might not like the guy but I'm not low to spread his secret. Besides we need to know what going on, Miguel might hurt someone or himself. And what kind of Spider-people we are if stand back and do nothing." Hobie said in serious tone.
"Yea, one go on in this room stay in this room." Pavitr chimes in. Gwen, Margo, and Peni also nodded. Lyla signed and nodded she wish Miguel was here to see this. People do care about him.
Hobie then open the folder
Back at Earth-42
Miles and 42 still trying to figure out what they going to do. Building in lockdown. There is no way to talk to anyone in spidersociety let alone anyone from the outside world, even 42's cell phone doesn't work. And there is Miguel's problem. Miles worries that Miguel keeps switching. one minute he his normal and the next he hisses and growls like an animal. Miles tries to mess with the watch hoping it work but no avail. Miguel also have no luck with his watch either. Not even a glitch from Lyla popping up. He thanked god that the watches wasn't totally down other wise Miles would glitching. For him the glitching was still there but not as bad but he not going jink it.
Miguel decides not to mess with his watch anymore, mostly 'it' wants to get rid of the watch thinking it hinders his movement. It took Miguel to convince 'it' that he needed it.
'Don't like it. Don't like the feeling.'
'Well tough luck we need it otherwise we glitching worse'
'Glitching?'
Miguel sighs, forgetting 'it' is not as smart as him. Relying on instinct then using it head. This wasn't the only thing he was convinced 'it'. Miguel noticed that he looked back at the two Miles, for a second he would black out as 'it' took control but Miguel managed to push it back down.
'Stop stare at them!' Miguel said not wanting to freak the two Miles who are already freaking out with this situation they are in.
'We should wrap prey up.'
Miguel try to think what does 'it' mean till he realizes 'it' means he thinks 42 is food. His eye widen from the thought. It doesn't help that Miguel's sense of smell also increased.
"We're not eating Miles!" Miguel said, which caught the attention of the two Miles. They look at each other to make sure they just heard what Miguel just said.
"You said he isn't a vampire!" 42 said whispering loudly .
"He isn't! He doesn't even eat people!" Miles said couldn't believe he has to defend Miguel. Before he could ask what the hell Miguel just said. Miguel quickly crawled toward them so fast that Miles didn't have time to process. Miguel quickly grabbed 42 , pinning him down. Miles's eyes widen, really thinking that Miguel is actually going to eat 42. Miles rush toward them before he got pin by Miguel's extra pair of arms which he surprised how strong he is. Miguel sniff 42 , it took all of 42's willpower to not scream not wanting to give away their position. Also doesn't know what this older spider was about to do with. Even with the mask on Miguel was intimidating.
'What the shock are you doing?! Alejate de el!'
'He smells like prey. So we can eat it.'
'He not prey!'
'Then he a threat? We should kill it.'
'No! He… he spiderling he just smells weird.' Miguel thought. He just has to trick 'it' hoping it just sees 42 a spiderling that smells off. The last thing he needs for him to eat 42. He is not even sure Miles will be able to stop him, nor think Miles has it in him to end him. 'It' narrows its eye, staring up and down at 42.
"Spiderling?" Miguel or 'It' said his voice sounded slightly deeper mainly since it sounded more like a growl than words. 42 didn't know how to respond, he looked at Miles who month the word 'say yes' maybe thinking Miguel wouldn't attack 42 if he said yes.
"Yes. yes, I'm Spiderling." 42 said and as the light switch turned back on, Miguel blinked back to control quickly letting go of Miles and 42.
"Ok, you need us to tell us when 'that' happens again." Miles said freaking out that Miguel almost ate 42. 42 nodded to agree thinking he lost a year of his life from that.
"It's not like I can predict when it take ov- threat!" Miguel was cut off when 'It' took over making Miguel get on all four-six. Growling at the door. Miles was going to ask Miguel what he meant till his spider-sense was going off. Miguel got in front of the two boys till a black hole opened up in from of them. Then Kraven came out from it. He was covered in black spots over his body
"Hello, prey."
