Chapter Text

It was a typical day at the Spider Society. Spider-people were walking on the walls, swinging, training, eating. The usual stuff.

Except if you're in the infamous “Spider Gang”. Hobie, Miles, Gwen, and Pavitr were known for getting into trouble. Even now they were snooping through Miguel’s office.

Hobie was looking through Miguel’s desk, Pavitr was checking through the furniture, Gwen was looking for secret doors on the walls, and Miles was left to search the floors for any clues.

“Uh guys, should we really be doing this? Miguel’s gonna be pissed if he finds out what we're doing.” Miles said with concern.

Hobie chuckled, “That’s the fun of it, mate.” Gwen and Pavitr looked at each other, then as Miles and shrugged.

“What’s the worst that could happen anyways” said Pavitr in his usual bright tone. The other three looked at him in disbelief.

Gwen sighed, “Really Pavitr? Again?” Pavitr looked confused so she continued, “‘Spider luck’ remember? You pretty much jinxed us now”

Just when she finished Hobie shot up, his left arm in the air holding a flashdrive, “Found it! Come on, let’s see what type of blackmail we could get from this.” As he finished saying that he inserted the drive into the computer in front of him. Just as he did, Lyla glitched into the room.

“What are you kids doing?” she questioned, hands on her hips as she glitched in front of them.

“Nothing!” They said in unison. To this, Lyla raised an eyebrow and glanced at each of them. She then snorted, “Why so serious? I don’t care. I don’t get paid enough to care…actually I don’t get paid at all.”

Hobie crossed his arms, “well ain’t that just wonderful”

“I know right?” She said, “But seriously what’s up? I want in!” Miles smiled, “We’re looking for blackmail on Miguel so that he could give us the passcode to the ‘Spider-car’”

“Oh, that? You could’ve just asked me, ya’know. ‘Hey Lyla, could you let us in the garage? We wanna use the car!’ And I would’ve been like ‘of course! Come back in one piece! Have fun!’” She replied

The four simultaneously shaped their mouths in an ‘o’. “Well anyways, it wouldn’ hurt to get something for emergencies, huh?” Hobie questioned. They nodded.

“In that case, Lyla, could you unlock the computer for us please?” Pavitr asked with a warm smile.

“Of course, little sunshine child!” At that, the computer was unlocked and various files made its way on screen, “So I’d say you should start fromt he very beginning of this thing.” She said.

“What do you mean by that?” Questioned Gwen.

Lyla glitched again, this time her eyes had a mischievous glint in them, “Oh, these are video recordings that Miguel made when he was younger! You should start fromt he beginning of the series!”

Miles stepped forward, “Wait, really? I wonder what’s on them” he clicked the first video that was on the file.

Just as he was about to press play, the door opened. The four teenagers moved their heads to face the newcomers. There stood Jessica, Ben, and Peter B who had Mayday in his arms

Jessica put her hands on her hips,”What’s going on here?”

“Look I know this looks bad-“ Gwen started

She cut her off, “Looks bad? Yeah it looks bad you’re snooping through Miguel’s office! What are you guys doing here?”

Pavitr chirped in, “We’re looking for blackmail!”

Peter B's face broke into a huge grin, “Nice! I wanna see, maybe I can blackmail Miguel to babysit Mayday”

Hobie shrugged and made his way over as well. Giving up, Jessica sighed and went over to the group.

Lyla glitched next to the group and with a snap of her fingers, the video played.

On the screen they saw a 17 year old male. He had on red sunglasses and his hair was in a brown wolf-cut. They realized that it was Miguel looking at them, “Okay, I think it’s working.” He said as he turned to face the other people in the room. Miguel was in his spider-man costume and had his mask off.

There was another guy who was dressed in a spider-man costume. His mask was off and he turned to Miguel with a huge smile, “that’s awesome Migs!”

“Don’t call me that!”

The guy made his way over. He had shoulder length hair, the back part was dyed blonde and the rest was black. He had blue eyes and a lip and eyebrow piercing.

On the other side of the room there was a girl with long black hair and brown eyes. She was in a spider-woman costume too and made her way to the guys. She rolled her eyes, “let’s just get this thing started,yeah?”

“Yeah” the guys said at the same time.

“Okay so, my name is Sorin Enache! I’m Spider-Glitch and I come from Earth-151!” The guy with piercings said

“I’m Raena Jeong aka Weaver. I’m from Earth-021.” The girl said

Finally Miguel turned to the screen, “Miguel O’Hara. I’m Spider-Man 2099 from Earth-928. This will be a log to keep track of the work that we’re doing for the Guardians of the Multiverse. Cheesy name, I know, we didn’t have a say in it.”

“Yeah, if we did then we would’ve come up with something good. Like-“ Sorin was cut off by Miguel who covered his mouth with his hands.

“No. Just no. I know what you’re about to say and I would like this to be PG.” Miguel sighed. He removed his hands from Sorin’s mouth, who nodded and turned to pout.

Miguel turned to the camera again, “Anyway, this is just meant to document…stuff.”

Sorin wrapped his arms around Raena’s shoulders, “To make sure that if anything happens to us then they won’t feel guilty~”

“Honestly…yes” he said as he took a sip from his coffee cup, “They are literally dodging the trauma bullet.”

“Exactly! They really be like: ‘Well if they film the shit they do then we aren’t responsible for the trauma they will get.’ So much fun.” Sorin said sarcastically.

Raena snorted, “That’s amazing! More trauma that I need. I might as well start a gallery with how much I have.” The guys nodded

“Welp! As fun as this is, I have work to do-“ Miguel started.

Sorin rolled his eyes, “You always have work to do. You friggin’ workaholic” Miguel rolled his eyes to this and made his way to the corner of the room. There were white gloves that had silver linings on them. After he put them on he made his way to the center of the room.

As he stood there, he started to talk again, “I have been tasked with building this tower. It’s supposed to be a place for Spider-People to go to when they have multiverse problems. I want to be a safe place for them and have it be a place to catch anything that may cause a disturbance in the multiverse.” When he finished explaining, a digital tower appeared in front of him. He moved it around so that the other two could get a good look at the place, “This is going to be the ‘Spider Society’”

“I love it! Not the part where youre doing this for the old farts back at GoM but the part where it’s a safe place! We could definitely use one of those!” Sorin said enthusiastically.

Raena nodded, a gentle smile crept onto her face, “It’s very clever but considering how smart you are, it’s no surprise why you have part 1 done already.”

Miguel beamed at the praise, a small blush made its way to his cheeks, “It’s nothing. I just like being useful.” Sorin popped up from his seat, “But you are so much more than ‘useful’! Man, we really gotta work on your self esteem.”

“My self esteem is perfectly fine!” he retored. Only to have two pairs of eyes roll at him. “Whatever, I have work to do so buh-bye”

Sorin put his hand on his chest dramatically, “Are you really kicking us out? Us? Your besties? I’ve never felt such hurt in my life.” he wiped a fake tear out of his eye

“Ay dios. No, I’m kicking you out. Rae can stay here. She doesn’t distract me like you do.” The two guys paused and slowly turned toward her. She was looking dazed and at the sky. “On second thought, take her with you. She’s dissociating too much.”

He nodded and made his way towards Raena and the camera. He pulled her gently by her arm and grabbed the camera. On his way out he shouted over his shoulder, “I’m taking the camera and gonna film some shit. You want some coffee?”

Miguel, who was already hyper-focused on his project nodded and said, “Sí, por favor. Don’t break it!”

“Okie dokie my Latino pokie” he responded with a huge grin. He made it out of the lab in time to avoid a book that was thrown at him.”Don’t call me that, idiota!” he heard through the door.

Sorin snickered as he led Raena onto the couch, “So, my wonderful future spider army, what to talk about, hmm? Oh, I know! Migs could be a little busy to go over it but luckily for you guys, y’all are getting the Sorin edition of ‘Explaining things!’”

As he made his way to the kitchen he said, “I’ll start with the GoM then onto my lovely companions!” He began to get out two mugs, the coffee machine, coffee beans, and water and set them onto the counter.

He plugged in the coffee machine and set up all of the usual coffee making stuff as he began to talk again, “So, the GoM or ‘Guardians of the Multiverse’ is made up of a few people. They’re goal is to keep balance in the multiverse and to prevent it from getting destroyed. They took up the role after the old group, the Illuminati, were killed. I don’t know how they were formed but all I know is that it had to do with some robot named Ultron.” he paused to collect his thoughts.

“Not too long ago they came to us. At the time both Rae and I lost everything, our homes, our families, our universes. They took us in and taught us the ropes on containing and protecting the multiverse. Miguel had a…special way of joining.” The coffee machine beeped and he poured the liquid into the mug.

In one of the mugs he poured some condensed milk and honey. In the other, some cream and sugar. After stirring them he called Raena over to give one of the mugs to Miguel.

He continued his story when she left, “Miguel had some experience with the multiverse before with the ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’. I don’t know much of the details but he tends to tense up and tries to avoid talking about it as much as possible. Whatever happened is the reason why the GoM took him in. They had us for this group, to take care of each other and whatever mission they sent out.” Sorin took a sip of his coffee.

“But that’s why we're forming this Spider-Society. So that we can take care of each other in ways like never before. And to do our job in protecting the multiverse,” he paused and faced the camera, “I know things are gonna get weird and confusing but bear with us, okay? We’re 17 and trying to understand this shit.”

There was laughter coming from a distance and Sorin’ eyes went soft. A warm smile crept its way onto his face. He turned to the camera one more time and said, “Well, that’s enough seriousness for me! So stay tuned for more shenanigans by yours truly! Stay chaotic, spider babes!” The camera went off.

The team went quiet.

Until Pavitr broke it, “That was so cool! I didn’t know about any of that, did you?” he turned to Jessica and Peter who shook their heads.

Jessican rubbed her belly, “I had no idea that this ‘GoM’ existed. I saw that name on some files but never thought much of it.”

“So technically this GoM is Miguel’s boss, right? No wonder why he’s so uptight about the multiverse and canon events. I would too if my bosses were this vague and weird” Miles stated.

Gwen nodded, “Yeah, you got a point there. But also, it’s so weird to see Miguel like that. So…”

“So carefree? Happy? Not as uptight? I’d say, I’m gettin’ the chills.” Hobie chirped in.

Lyla glitched back in front of the group, “Well, you’ll get to see more if you want. Miguel is actually out in a meeting with them right now so you’ll have plenty of time!”

“Hmm, I’d say we watch more. I kinda like seeing Miguel like this and it wouldn’t hurt to get to know the other people too. I like that Sorin guy!” Peter cut in. The group nodded.

“Nice! I’ll start the next-“ Lyla was cut off by Jessica. “Hold up, can we go somewhere more comfortable? I don’t think I can stand while watching these for so long.”

The group looked at each other and nodded. it wouldn’t hurt to sit down and maybe get a snack while watching all of this secret stuff about Miguel for blackmail. So much fun.

The group made their way to the couch, Peter smiled softly at it. The couch was added a month after the four spiderlings decided to go on their “multiverse adventure”. He knew that Miguel had regrets about what happened and still felt guilty. Even though he already apologized to Miles and the others. Peter had a feeling that there was something in those videos that were related to how Miguel acted.

As they got comfortable, the seating arrangement went like this: Jessica, Gwen, and Miles were on the left. Peter and Mayday in the center. Hobie and Pavitr were on the right.

“Well, let’s get started shall we?” Lyla said ominously. She glitched into view and had a huge grin on her face, with a snap of her fingers a screen came up and began to play.

Chapter Text

The scene showed Miguel hunched over his desk. He was working on some new gizzmo. He had one leg close to his chest and the other was dangling off the chair. He didn’t seem to notice the person that just entered the room.

“Good morning, Migs!” Sorin said. Miguel paused and shot him a tired look, “Is it really a good morning? Also don’t call me that.”

Sorin pouted, ‘Fine, what about Miggy-wiggy?”

“No.”

“Hot stuff”

“Nada.”

“My stereotyped Latin lover.”

“Absolutely not”

“Hmm…Miguelito?”

Miguel paused, “That’s tolerable” as head this the long haired man jump up in excitement. “What did you want? You came here for a reason, right? Not to just come up with a nickname.”

“I dunno, did I?” he smiled mischievously, “But in all seriousness, I came with your caffeinated beverage, babe.”

He gave him a relieved smile, “Gracias. This is much needed.” He got up to grab the drink but Sorin moved it from his reach.

Miguel gave him a confused look, “Nuh-uh-uh. First, get out of this lab then you get the caffeine.” His eyes narrowed, “Don’t give me that look, you’ve been working for hours and haven’t eaten anything. So come on, we're gonna feed you, caffeinate you, and go web swinging. I wanna see that one move you make.”

“But…I’m almost done. I just need to rewire the prototype and then-“ he was cut off by Sorin dragging him out of the room, “nope!

“I hate you.”

“Love you too babe” Sorin winked as he got a concha out of a paper bag. “Gabe said that you like pan dulce but I didn’t know what you liked so I grabbed some cookies, conchas, novia, and this strawberry empanada.”

He sighed, ‘Of course Gabe told you that.”

“He only told me because he’s worried about you.”

Miguel rolled his eyes, “He doesn’t need to.” Sorin gave him a look that shut Miguel up.

Suddenly Raena came into the picture, “Good morning!” the other two greeted her. “So what’s on the agenda?”

“Nothing”

“Work”

Sorin and Miguel glared at each other, trying to see who would last the longest and win. After a couple minutes of this Raena sighed, “What if we investigate other universes?”

They turned to her and she blushed at the sudden attention on her, “I’m just saying, we never know what’s out there and we should get a good idea of what other spiders are doing, right?”

“Yeah, you’re right. Lets finish up the morning and then head out.” Miguel stated as he grabbed a pastry and yoinked the coffee out of Sorin’s hands. “I’m taking this, cabron!”

“Wait what does cabron mean?” Miguel kept on walking away. “What does cabron mean?!” Sorin yelled after him as he quickly followed him out of the screen.

Raena snorted, “Morons” she said softly as the camera turned off.

“Huh, once a workaholic, always a workaholic I guess.” Gwen stated.

Miles chirped in, “Does he ever relax?” he turned to Peter who shrugged.

The camera flickered on again. This time the trio was in a dark area. The sky was blood red and the ground was dark. The three were covered in dirt and blood. Miguel was hovering over the camera, “I think it’s working now” he said before coughing.

“Finally,” Sorin said, he faced the camera and had a relieved look on his face, “So update, we are stuck in a “Dark Dimension” it was an accident and now anyway to get back to Miguel’s universe is gone.”

Raena hit him on his head, “Don’t say it like that! You make it sound like were going to die”

“Well aren’t we?” he retored.

“No, I don’t think so. If we’re smart we’ll get out of this alive.” Miguel said, he looked like he was trying to reassure himself.

Sorin sighed, “You’re right. I’m sorry, I’m tired.” he rubbed his eyes and offered a small smile. Raena patted his back, “It’s okay, so are we. Don’t worry though, the GoM will think something’s wrong and come and get us!”

Miguel looked at her in disbelief, “Will they? Last I checked, they said that we had to deal with our problems by ourself. “

“Then what do you suggest, babe” Sorin questioned.

“I think that we should try to get into one of those bases and grab some stuff to help fix our devices. Maybe get warmed up in the process?”

The other two nodded, “So, what way do we go?” Raena asked as Sorin looked around, nodding.

Miguel looked around the area and his eyes landed on somethign in the distance, “There” he said.

“Is it safe?” Sorin asked.

“Yeah, there’s not a lot of life forms there and I’m not seeing anything majorly dangerous.” he responded.

Sorin snapped, “And how do you know that it’s not dangerous, hmm?”

Miguel looked at him as if he was an idiot, “…because I have accelerated vision? You know the entire reason why my eyes are super sensitive and why I have to wear those red shades”

“I thought it was because you were ashamed of your red eyes” he retorted

There was a silence, Sorin looked guiltily to the ground and Miguel stood there in shock. Raena looked concerned. ”We should start heading there now!” Sorin nodded after glancing at Miguel who was still looking at the same area that he was looking at before.

“…yeah, let’s go,” Miguel said softly. He turned back to the camera and turned it off.

There was silence in the room. No one spoke and they all had a look of concern on their faces.

“I…I didn’t know that either.” Miles said shakily

Hobie spoke up, “That why he’s always in this dark room? Cause of his eyes?”

Jessica made a soothing circling movement on her belly, “I guess so. I always thought that it was because he was depressed and needed time to brood”

“Guess not, huh?” Pavitr said quietly, Hobie nodded in agreement.

Just then Lyla glitched back into the room, “Hey guys! What’s up?”

“What’s wrong with Miguel’s eyes?” Peter asked

“Oh that! Because he doesn’t have a ‘spidy sense’ he has accelerated vision and hearing so basically he can see and hear things that you guys can’t. The downside of his vision is that his eyes are very sensitive to light meaning he can be blinded by regular light. That’s why he wears those tinted glasses and why his mask is so different in comparison. For some reason the eyesight thing made his eyes go from brown to red. Which is also why he wears the glasses, he’s always been so…heh…insecure about his eye color.”

When she finished, the rest nodded. “Well that does explain some things about him.” Jessica stated. The others replied in silent “Yeahs” and “sure does”.

Chapter Text

The screen showed the trio, still in the dark world, fighting a shadow creature. They saw Miguel backhanded by the enlarged hand of the creature.

“Damn, that hit harder than my step-dad” he groaned, holding his stomach.

Sorin turned to him, putting his hands on his hips, “Miguel! what did we talk about”

Miguel turned to him and sighed, “Not to trauma dump on the bad guys”

“And what did you do?”

“I trauma dumped on the bad guys”

“Yeah you did. Stop it!” he scolded the latino. Just then another hand grabbed a chunk of the ground between them and aimed it at Raena who swung towards the boys. Then the trio collectively swung to the dark forest behind them, they went into the trees as the creature followed them.

“Come back here you spider scum!” the creature roared, “I’m going to crush your useless skulls and feed them to my little pets!”

Miguel turned to Sorin and Raena who were on the branch above him. He smirked and whispered, “Damn, that was a pathetic threat. Mi mama has said worse stuff about me to my face.”

Sorin sighed but Raena perked up, she whispered back, “I know right? Do you know how many times my mom told me that she wished she aborted me” The two of them snickered.

“The last time my mom told me that I yelled back, ‘Then why don’t I go abort myself'’” he paused, “Needless to say, I’m not going back there for a while. I got hit with a broom, a textbook, and the chancla”

They reached over to each other and high-fived, “Okay I get it, you both have mommy issues,” Sorin pointed at Miguel, “Well, you just have parental issues.”

“Yep” he popped the ‘p’. They heard a rustle in the leaves and turned to swing to another tree for safety. 

“Come out, come out wherever you are. I just wanna play with you!” They heard a female voice shout. 

The three of them looked at each other, eyes wide as they saw the creature below them. It had long blonde hair and she was in a red jacket. “She looks like one of the Inheritors. Be careful!” Miguel whispered. 

He made a ‘go’ motion towards the opposite direction, “I’ll distract her while you guys run” 

“But-“ Raena started. He cut her off, “Go now!”

Miguel jumped down and landed behind her. She jumped and aimed a crossbow at him, “you’re gonna make a lovely part of my collection.”

“Hmm, I don’t think so.” As he said this he jumped up and hopped over her. He then shot a web at her, getting her stuck onto a tree. As he did that her finger pushed shown on the crossbow and shot him in the leg. “Arghh” he shouted as he crouched down.

He shot another web at her to secure her there and began to swing in the direction of the others. 

The camera switched off.

“I feel like this is all so enriching, you know?” Pavitr said.

“Definitely enriching,” Gwen said, agreeing with Pavitr.

Hobie turned to them, “The man got shot in the leg and kept going. You call it ‘enriching’? I’d say that’s badass.”

Jessica cleared her throat, “keep an eye on the language Hobie. But I totally agree.”

“He just keeps getting cooler and cooler” Miles stated, Hobie and Peter nodded.

The camera was back on again, Miguel and Sorin were discussing the plans. They’re costumes were ripped and had dirt all over. Raena was looking through the room they were in, inspecting every nook and cranny there. She then turned to the camera, after realizing that it was on. 

“We landed on Earth-2149, in his universe everyone has turned into zombies. Well not everyone, there are some survivors that were looking for but a majority are zombies. The guys are coming up with a plan to get out of her right now.” She paused and turned the screen to face the two,”apparently we need some parts but it’s kinda hard to get out.”

“So, essentially we are screwed right?” Sorin said. Miguel nodded

“Unless we can come up with something better, let's just go with the sacrificial plan,” he stated.

Sorin sighed, “but I’m just worried. What if something bad happens.”

“How bad can things get? We are basically trapped here until we decide who has to go. I’m pretty skilled so there’s no harm in going.” he said.

Raena walked over to the guys, “He’s just worried about you, Miguel and you hate hospitals so what’s the point in you going” 

Miguel  replied “Well yeah but I know what we need and it’s not like you guys are in the best shape to go.  Sorin rolled his eyes and Raena looked at him in a disappointing way.

“Why don’t we just go together?” She said, “I’m pretty sure that we’ve all seen enough zombie movies to know that splitting up is never a good idea.”

“See, now that’s compromise!” Soren stated. “We can look after each other that way. Movie logic is the way to go”

Miguel raised an eyebrow, “Movie logic also says that red flags are the better option and that crying in the rain makes you attractive.”

“Well doesn’t it?”

Raena and Miguel looked at him dumbfounded, “No”

He rolled his eyes and went over to a stack of medical supplies, “and who knows, maybe we’ll be able to see another spider-person?”

“A zombie spider-person?” He asked

Sorin rolled his eyes, “No, a spider-person would obviously survive this.”

“I don’t know, you never know who could get turned.” Raena stated as she slowly crept towards Miguel and jumped on his back. She imitated a biting motion on his shoulder, “See? Miguel just got bit”

“Miguel could hear you miles away, he let you bite him.” He retorted 

“No he didn’t”

“Yes he did”

“Nuh-uh”

“Yuh-huh”

Miguel snapped his fingers, “Cállate! We have more important matters to deal with, sí?”

“Yes Miguel” they said simultaneously.

“Good now we agree with the plan?” He asked and the two nodded. “Good, let’s head out now.” The screen blurred and switched off.

“I’m sorry, did I hear that right? Zombies.” Questioned Peter. 

Jessica nodded, “Yeah, you heard that right. Can’t say I’m that surprised at this point.” Gwen shrugged and Miles nodded along. 

The screen went back on. It showed the trio walking down a hallway. Sorin was holding the camera as Miguel and Raena walked ahead, frantically searching the area. 

“It should be here somewhere!” Miguel said exasperated. 

Sorin spoke up, “Look man, it’s ok. Let’s just grab little things and get out of here. I’m getting the heebie-jeebies plus my spidey sense is going through the roof!” 

Raena nodded in agreement, “We have a good amount of supplies already. We can live without that medicine.” 

“You sure?” He asked. Sorin put an arm on his shoulder.

“I’m sure. We have the supplies to get Lyla back online so let’s focus on that first” 

Miguel replied, “Okay fine”

The three of them turned back from the direction they came from. After a few minutes of silence Miguel froze, “did you hear that?”

Sorin and Raena paused, “No, what is it?” She asked.

“It’s…it sounds like growling. And there’s drops of something falling down repeatedly.” Just as he finished saying that a zombie came out of nowhere and charged at them. 

“Holy crap!” Sorin shouted as he aimed his wrist and shot out some web fluid. “I’m almost out!”

Miguel ducked as the zombie jumped over him. He shot a web out and once the zombie was secured to the ground, he froze. 

“Hey guys, I think we need to get out of here now!” He shouted as a group of them came from the other side of the hallway. 

“You think?” Sorin replied as he jumped onto the ceiling and ran towards the opposite direction. Raena looked behind her and shot a web, the web was gold and it began to make a weaving movement in the space behind them. As she moved her fingers, a web began to form and was used as a shield against the zombies. 

The boys looked at her, “You would’ve done that the whole time?!” She turned away, “I needed time to figure out how I was going to make it.” She glanced at them.

“Uh…why don’t we just get out of here for now?” 

Sorin sighed in relief, “I like the sound of that,” he turned to Miguel, “I fully understand why you hate hospitals now.”

“I don’t hate hospitals, I just hate the idea of being trapped in a medical facility without having knowledge of what’s going on.”

“Damn, Stone messed you up bad, huh?” 

Miguel nodded and started to head to the exit again. Just then they heard  footsteps come at them, they weren’t fast like the zombies. They were paced.

The trio was faced with three people in front of them. One was a floating head and had a cape, the other was missing his right leg as in black armor. The third was a spider-man, similar to them. He was a teenager and his costume was dirty. Actually, all of them were dirty. The zombie apocalypse didn’t really mean that you got to shower everyday.

“…hi” Sorin said with an uneasy smile. Miguel took a fighting stance and Raena gave a little wave.

“Hi!” Said the Spider-man. “Uh…I’m Peter. Peter Parker. Nice to meet you?” He added.

Sorin perkedup an turned to Miguel, “See, good things can happen.” Miguel rolled his eyes. “Hi Peter! I’m Sorin, it's nice to meet you too!” 

“Oh cool. So this is Scott and this isT’challa. Are you guys spider-men?” He asked. 

“Yup! I’m spider-Glitch, that’s Weaver. And this is Spider-Man 2099.” He explained, “but they’re names are Raena and Miguel. Say, do you by any chance know where we can get a-“ Miguel lightly hits the back of his head.

“Shut up” he hissed, “We have what we need.”

“But I thought-“

“No”

“Hmm, why don’t you guys come with us? You’re not from around here are you?” Peter asked

“We’re not”, Raena replied, “We got stuck here I’m afraid.” T’ challa nodded at this.

“Then come, my friends. We have a shelter set up. You can warm yourselves and tell us all about how you got here.” T’ challa said. He and Scott began to walk out of the building as Peter walked over to Sorin and they began to chat. 

“So we’re not going to talk about the floating head?” Raena asked.

Miguel sighed, “Later”. She nodded and dragged Miguel over to the other heroes. As the camera cut out again.

“There’s a universe full of zombies?!” Miles shouted.

Gwen looked at him, “Why are you so surprised? There’ a pig that’s spider-man”

“Well yeah, but I didn't think there would actually be zombies.” 

Pavitr turned to him, “ That would be pretty cool wouldn’t it? Zombies taking over.”

“The pigs would be the first to go. I like that. Zombies are the best for chaos” Hobie said.

Gwen rolled her eyes “Of course that’s what you think about. Zombies taking over and killing a whole bunch of law enforcement.”

“What else is there Gwenny?”

“Literally everything else!” She retorted. Hobie snorted to this and leaned back. 

Lyla came back in, looking happy, “Guess what?”

“What? Peter asked.”

Pavitr chirped up, “The zombie apocalypse happened?”

“Uh no. We have a guest that’ll be joining you guys! Come on Gabe!” As she said that a man who looked similar to Miguel walked in. 

The man had fluffy brown hair that was pulled back by goggles. He had on a yellow and black striped scarf over a purple turtleneck and black futuristic pants. He had a weird yellow boot covering. 

“Oh my gosh. It’s a fashion disaster!” Gwen gasped. Peter and Miles snorted. Jessica looked at the man and her eyes went wide.

“Uh, actually I’m Gabriel. Gabriel O’Hara.” The man, ‘Gabriel ‘ said.

Jessica snapped her fingers, “You're the brother!”

Gabriel lightly chuckled, “Yeah, I’m the brother”

“He had a brother?” Pavitr asked, “That's so cool! I’ve always wanted a brother!”

“Uh, thank you? Anyways, where is he Lyla? I’ve got some designs to show him” Gabriel asked the AI

“Oh, he’s at the GoM for a meeting. Don’t worry about it, instead why don’t you joint them?” She gestured to the group.

Gabriel narrowed his eyes at her, “Okay then, guess I’m joining you guys then. Uh…who are you by the way?”

“Gwen”

“I’m Miles”

“Hobie Brown”

“Hi! I’m Pavitr!”

“Jessica Drew”

“Peter Parker and this little angel is Mayday”

“Cool. Nice to meet you guys by the way” Gabriel moved to the side of the couch that Hobie and Pavitr were on.

“Nice to meet you too” Jessica replied, she smiled at him lightly.

Chapter Text

The camera flickered on, the screen showed a variant of Dr.Strange, he was dressed in darker robes and had shadows around his eyes. This variant was sitting cross-legged in a crystalized bubble. He looked up to see the three spiders.

“What do you want? Who are you?” he questioned, his eyebrows knitted together as we analyzed the trio. 

Miguel floated closer to the man who got on his feet. “My name is Miguel, this is Sorin and Raena. We were told that you are the person to go to for multiverse problems.”

The man sighed, “Depends on what problems you have, kid.” 

“Well, hypothetically, what happens if you create a secret society of your own variants and gather them on one earth in one universe? Oh, and you have to give them access to other universes? universai?” Sorin asked as he got closer.

“I’m pretty sure it's universes,” Raena stated. He nodded in response.

The doctor looked at them with a hard stare, he opened his mouth and closed it. Raena gave him a sheepish smile and he sighed, rubbing his face with his left hand. “Please don’t tell me that you idiots are trying to pull that off.”

“Okay fine, we aren’t trying to pull this off. It's a hypothetical question, remember.”

Strange Supreme turned to Miguel who suddenly found the nonthingness very interesting at the moment.

He sighed, “I mean, hypothetically, as long as you don’t change the order of certain events AND you have a good reason for it, it shouldn’t be that dangerous. Really, you just have to find a way to stabilize the variants so that they can physically stay put in a dimension.” 

He paused again and narrowed his eyes, “Why do you ask?” 

“Like Sorin said, it was a hypothetical question.” she replied

“No question that specific could be hypothetical.”

“Sure it is!”

“Do you even know what ‘hypothetical’ means?”

“Sure I do! Just hold on, let me google it.”

“Don’t google it-“

“It says ‘of, based on, or serving as a hypothesis”

“And what does hypothesis mean?”

“Uh…a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation’.”

“Why would you…you know what nevermind.” Supreme sighed heavily

Miguel rubbed his neck, “I’m sorry to ask this too but, how would you find a way to stabilize a variant?” 

“Well, I would say grab a piece, or particle of an extremely dangerous crystal that the multiverse uses as its structure point and find a way to transform it into something to prevent any side effects.”

The latino-irish nodded, “And, where would I find this crystal?”

“Look kid, I’d love to help but this is all based on a hypothesis, right?” he smirked.

Just as he said that, a light appeared in the nothingness. A man with blue robes and white eyes looked at the trio, a soft smile graced his lips and a warm look was evident in his eyes. 

Supreme turned to him, “Ah, hello there old friend. I take it this hypothetical matter means something to you?”

The man laughed, “I’m afraid it does, these children…they are quite special.”

“Hey! What do you mean special?” Sorin put his hands on his hips as he pouted. 

“I do not mean that as an insult. I simply mean that as a compliment. You three have done and are going to do many more great things. Supreme, you must be there to guide them. Please?”  he asked. 

Strange nodded, “Very well then, I’ll show them to the cave. But I don't really want to cause any more damage.”

The Watcher laughed, “I wouldn't worry about that, shouldn’t be long. But you needn’t worry, I’ll get you if anything goes wrong.” With that Strange Supreme nodded.

“I don’t wanna be rude or anything buuuuut who are you gramps?” questioned Sorin. 

The man smiled again, “I am the Watcher. I observe the stories that are made throughout the multiverse.”

“Sooo, you’re like, a stalker?” Sorin said. Miguel snorted and coughed to hide his giggling, Raena slapped her hand over her mouth and turned the other direction, shoulders moving hysterically. 

“No, I’m just….uh….the Watcher?” he stumbled over his words

Strange cleared his throat, “Shall begin heading to the cave?’

“The cave?” echoed Miguel

Supreme turned to him. “Yes, the cave. It’s a very particular one that stores all of those crystals. Once we get enough, we can start to safely build your stabilizers.” 

He nodded and went over to where he was standing. Raena and Sorin began to follow behind him. 

“I’ll see you later” Supreme said to the Watcher as he opened a portal. Raena waved goodbye to the man and Sorin noddedd. 

Miguel paused and turned, “Why would you help?” he asked in a quiet voice. His eyes reached the Watchers’ and searched to find anything.

The Watcher sighed, “Because you’re the only one that can handle the responsibility that is in store for you.” With that, Miguel nodded, and went into the portal. The screen was cut off. 

The group was silent as they stared at the blank screen.

Gabriel broke that silence, “Huh, so that’s how they met Supreme. I thought it would’ve been weirder than that.” he shrugged, “Guess I was wrong”

“You sound disappointed,” Jess stated.

“A little. I expected something more eventful.” he replied.

Peter let out a light laugh, “‘more eventful’? How eventful were things?”

Gabriel grinned, “Very eventful”

“This ‘Watcher’ sounds pre’y chill. Any of you met him before?” Hobie asked.

Jessica and Peter shaked their heads, along with Gabriel.

“Do you think we’ll ever meet one of them in person?” Gwen wondered out loud.

Pavitr turned to her, “Well I hope so! That Dr. Strange guy looks awesome! And Raena looks so nice!” 

Hobie nodded and Miles chirped in, “Yeah and the Sorin guy seems chill”

“I second that” Hobie stated. 

“Hmm, hey Lyla” Peter started,

Lyla glitched in front of him, “Yeah Peter B.? What’s up?” 

“Is it true that our wristbands are made from those multiverse crystals?” he asked while looking down at his.

She smiled, “Yep! And you guys better be grateful! They risked their lives for those crystals so that you all wouldn’t die!”

He was going to respond but go cut off by the screen glitching on as she disappeared.

The camera came back on and showed the trio hanging out in a half built lobby. 

Sorin faced the camera, “Hullo everyone! This is phase 1 of the Spider Society! We’re still working on adding all of the fancy shit but it's coming together.”

He aimed the camera to Miguel, who was on the floor putting some pieces together, “This moron has been working nonstop and,” he then faced the camera to Raena who was laying on the floor and looking at the ceiling, “she hasn’t moved in a while.”

Just then, the doors were kicked open and a guy in green and orange leg warmers and striped scarf came in, “I’m here! And I brought food” 

“Gabriel! You are such a saint, man” Sorin said.

Miguel turned to his brother, “How did you know we were here?”

“Uh, because I know you and because I know you I was kind enough to get you a coffee” Gabriel replied as he went over and handed his brother the hot beverage

The older O’Hara brother smirked, “You’re okay sometimes.”

“I know,” Gabriel turned to Raena and handed her a bag of fruit snacks and a baguette, “and I got you these”

“I love you” she said as she ripped a piece of bread and ate it.

Sorin put an arm around Gabriel, “So, are you here to be nice or are you here for something else?”

Gabriel sighed, “My girlfriend dumped me and I decided to come help you guys create your illegal secret society”

The older snorted, “That's the best way to get over a relationship, dude”

“I know right?”

“Wow, you suck at dating,” Miguel said, as he sipped his coffee.

Gabriel huffed, “At least I’m putting myself out their, you bloodsucker”

“For the last time, pendejo, I’m not a vampire”

“Sure, whatever you tell yourself to sleep at night…vampire.”

“Why you-“

Sorin stepped between the two, “Lades, ladies, you’re both pretty, now can we proceed to build this illegal place”

The two brothers looked at each other and stared for a bit. They huffed and walked away from one another, lightly glaring at the other as they got comfortable in their own spaces.

“Wait, what makes this place illegal again?” Raena asked

“The guardians don’t want us to build this place but they expect the three of us to take care of anything bad that happens across the multiverse. So, they can’t know the existence of this place, like, at all.” Sorin explained.

“Oh, that’s right,” she responded, “didn’t they recruit Supreme? Will he turn us in?”

Miguel went over and wrapped his arms around her, “He won’t do that, he likes us remember? I think”

“He does, stop freaking yourselves out” Sorin scolded. 

“He could hate us”

“He doesn’t”

“But-“

“Absolutely not”

“Okay”

Gabriel laughed, “You guys are hilarious”

“Well, I’m glad that we’re entertaining you” Miguel replied, a smile making its way to his face.

“Oh, you’re always entertaining, are you kidding? The way you face mamá and manage to live? Either your really stupid or stupid lucky”

Miguel rolled his eyes and went back to his work.

Sorin chirped in, “Oh he’s stupid lucky. Do you know how many times this moron has faced death and lived to tell the tale” he paused and turned to him, “You aren’t a ghost, right?”

“No!”

“Then yes, he is stupid lucky.”

“Oh, that’s great” he replied, “Uh, what can I work on?”

“Anything that you want to, Miguel is working on a way to block off body temp readings and varien energy.”

Gabriel lit up, “Awesome! I can work on the engineering aspect with Lyla, Migs, you can take care of the equations and shit!”

Miguel smiled and nodded at his brother, “Sounds great”

“Guys, I’m gonna play some songs from the Barbie movie!” Sorin yelled as we went to his phone, searching for the right playlist.

“Wait-what?!”

The camera flickered off.

“Oh, haha, I remember this! It was so cool!” Gabriel said. “It took a while to get the right formulas down but we were successful!”

“Wow, sounds like a lot of work was put into the place.” Jess paused, “Well, I knew there was a ton of work done but I didn’t know how much”

“Yeah, Migs was so stressed out about getting this place done and comfortable for all of you.”

Before Miles could say something, Lyla appeared, “Uh guys, I did something”

Peter asked, “Lyla, what did you do?”

“I broadcasted the videos throughout the station.”

“You what?” Peter exclaimed

Hobie huffed and crossed his arms, “Well there goes my blackmail.”

Jess gave him a stern look, “Right, because that’s what matters right now”

“Well, it does!”

“Lyla, why would you do that?” Asked Gwen

“Well why not? I for one enjoy tormenting chaos and what better way than this?” She replied

Gabriel turned to her, “Isn’t he at a meeting right now? He’s already stressed as it is, but now you’re doing this?”

“Yes”

He snorted, “That’s amazing”
