Chapter Text
Peter B. Parker, and his wife, MJ stepped out of a portal into HQ to meet 3 of the Arachkids. Peter was holding 2 bags of stuff for Mayday, and MJ was holding a sleeping Mayday.
"Now, if it's too difficult, we can still get Miguel to babysit..?" Peter said.
"Don't worry, we got this." Gwen replied, taking Mayday from Mary Jane carefully.
MJ and Peter were gonna be gone for a couple days and Gwen volunteered to babysit Mayday, eventually the other Arachkids got involved. Now she's being babysit by 4 teenagers for 4 days! Wait… 4 teenagers? Where's Pavitr? He was supposed to be here a couple minutes ago… Let's not mind it for now, I'm sure he's just running late.
MJ handed the bags to Miles,
"Clothes, baby food, diapers, emergency phone numbers, toys- just some stuff for Mayday." She smiled.
"Alright, thanks Mrs. Parker." Miles replied.
Mayday began to wake up, she yawned and then started to cry.
MJ immediately reached into the bag, and pulled out her favorite toy. You'd think it would be a doll, or a plushie… But no, it was a Spi-Dog (Spider-Man I-Dog, if you don't know look it up) immediately as she handed it to Mayday, she stopped crying. The 3 teens watched, kinda confused.
MJ laughs at their reaction,
"It's her favorite toy, when she's sleeping she likes it to play music. However, when she wakes up, she wants to hold it. Remember that."
"Uhm- We will, Mrs. Parker." Hobie says, trying his best to sound polite and not his normal punk attitude.
Eventually, MJ and Peter say goodbye to everyone and head off..
Yet still,
"Where's Pav? He was supposed to be here like 30 minutes ago.." Miles asked.
"Let's jus' head down to my apartment for now, he'll turn up. Ya' know how shits been for him recently." Hobie shrugs.
Hobie has an apartment in HQs dimension. Why? Well, 1. Plot convenience, 2. He didn't really buy it… He kinda… Well… Uhm.. Whatever, it's not important.
—----------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, with Pavitr.
He knew he was supposed to be heading over to HQ to babysit Mayday with his friends, but just as he very slowly finished getting ready… Something came from outside. Oh, god.. Another villain wreaking havoc.
He sighs,
"Alright, let's get this over with."
He swings out of his window.. Saves a couple citizens, blah blah blah.. He does this everyday. But it's not everyday that he has to save Gayatri, and right now he does. It's gonna be the first time he's seen her since… Well, she won't know it's him.. But still.
Gayatri was caught in a corner, by the villain. I'm not specifying the villain, cuz I don't wanna. He easily webs them up and takes his now EX girlfriend to safety. Of course, they were still trying to be friends.. But it's kinda difficult when you dated for so long. Once he landed, and set her down… Everything was quiet, except for their slight pants. Now, the next thing Pavitr did… He's not sure why.
But, he slowly… Took off his mask. Gayatri looked up at him, eyes wide… All he managed to mutter out was a simple,
"I'm… Sorry."
Yet, Gayatri's eyes only widened more as a shadow creeped up.. Pavitr didn't notice till it was too late.
"Look out!" She tried to warn..
But,
Black.
—----------------------------------------------------------
Back with the others.
So, they eventually got to Hobie's apartment.. Pavitr was still nowhere in sight it seemed.
Now, Hobie's apartment was… In no way clean, but not horribly messy..
"Where do we even put her?" Gwen face-palmed.
Mayday babbled in her arms, playing with her Spi-Dog.
"I dunno, put 'er on the sofa or somethin'" Hobie shrugged again.
"Alright..?" Gwen said, placing her on the couch.
"What do babies even do?" Miles asked.
"This would be way easier with Pav here, we're the only 2 who know how to take care of kids decently." Gwen sighed.
Hobie slumps down into a spinny office chair, and props his feet up on a counter,
"Yeah, speakin' of Pav- where is that bloke?"
Miles is reading through a paper of Mayday's schedule, but hears Hobie,
"Maybe you should text him, or call him? Just to see if he's alright?"
"Yeah, Miles is right." Gwen agreed.
Hobie pulled out a phone from… Idk hammerspace or something, And proceeded to text Pavitr.
"Alright, I think we should feed her.." Miles said, putting away the schedule.
Gwen reached into one of the bags and pulled out some baby food,
"Okay, Mayday, carrots, or spinach?" She showed it to Mayday, who was clearly more focused on her toy.. But eventually looked up and tried to grab the jar of carrot baby food.
"I think she wants the carrot one." Gwen said, raising it in the air.
"Hobie, do you have a highchair?" Miles asked.
"Why would I?" Hobie said, placing his phone down.
"..." Gwen gave him a look, "But do you?"
"I do.." He replies.
"...Why?"
(Plot convenience)
"Gwendy, I have a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't have."
"Noted."
"Whatever, guys." Miles picked up Mayday, "Lets just feed her."
They set up the highchair, and placed Mayday in it.. She squirms a bit, but adjusts herself.
Gwen puts some of the food in the bowl, and gets a spoon. Meanwhile, Miles is making sure Mayday doesn't try to swing away. She seems pretty calm right now.
Gwen brings the food to the chair, and takes a spoonful of it and tries to feed it to Mayday. Mayday refuses to take it.
"C'mon, Mayday.. It's yummy."
"Try the airplane." Miles suggested, "That always works."
Hobie was in the room, not really paying attention to the 3 of them.. He was waiting to get a notification. Normally, Pavitr would've responded by now. He didn't really want to worry, since he probably didn't have his phone with him or something.. Right? Well, calling once couldn't hurt.. Hobie was about to walk off, when Mayday splashed the food all over the highchair, and proceeded to start laughing her little head off.
"Oh, c'mon, Mayday.." Gwen groaned.
"That's Mayday for ya'" Hobie laughed a bit, while walking off to go make the phone call.
"Rude…" Miles said under his breath, "Whatever, let's clean this up and try again."
Gwen and Miles start to clean up the mess that the adorable little menace made, while Mayday sat there kicking her feet happily.
Gwen poured some more food into the bowl,
"Okay, Miles, any ideas?"
He tapped his chin,
"Hmm.. Nope."
Gwen groaned again,
"There has to be something we can do.."
Meanwhile, Hobie was in the hallway trying to get a hold of Pavitr. Call 1, no answer. Call 2, no answer. Call 3… Yeah you get the point. It seemed nothing could get a hold of him. Then, the thought hit him.. What if he's hurt? What if a mission went wrong and he's in trouble? Hobie isn't normally the one to worry so much, but for some reason this was eating him up. He has to check on Pavitr.. Just to see if he's okay.
This time, Miles tried feeding Mayday. Only for her to splash it all over Miles and Gwen. She laughed even harder this time.
"... I'm gonna go get a towel." Gwen said, walking off.
"Alright, Mayday, you stay here. I'm gonna go get something to clean up your mess." Miles said in a more playful tone.
Gwen and Miles were both in the bathroom now, trying to find where Hobie kept his towels…
"Jesus, this guy has a highchair and like… No towels?" Gwen said, laughing.
Miles laughed with her, it was sort of strange.. But it made sense for Hobie somehow.
"Ay, Hobie- Where do you keep your towels?" Miles yelled out after he quit laughing.
"Bottom left cabinet." Hobie yells back, "Also, I'm gonna go check on Pav real quick."
"Okay, don't be gone for too long!" Gwen yelled, grabbing a towel.
Hobie grabbed a backpack he had laying around… Felt a bit heavier than normal. And he opened a portal to Pavitr's dimension, before stepping through it.
A couple minutes later, Gwen goes back into the kitchen to check on Mayday… And…
"Uhmmm… Miles?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's… Mayday?"
"Oh… Shit."
