Back from the dead
Gwen's POV;
All right, everyone. Let's start at the beginning one more time.
My name's Gwen Stacy, I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last two months, I have been the one and only Spider-Woman.
Before then, I was known as Spider-Ghost, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I fought villains, monsters, criminals...but there was one mission that stands out.
It involved my best friend and partner. His name was Peter Parker, Fury brought him in to see if he could be like me as he had powers like mine.
But once HYDRA came along and turned him against me, he became a monster that I couldn't stop. It ended with him dying, even when I tried my best to to save him.
So I decided to leave what was left of S.H.I.E.L.D. There was no use staying after he died.
After that, I decided to focus on saving people more than anything else.
The hard part was keeping my parents out of the loop that I had powers.
So imagine my surprise when I find out my best friend is actually alive and is known as Spider-Man.

Normal POV;
Peter and Gwen are just looking at each other in complete shock at to who they're seeing.
"You died." Gwen tells Peter.
"The same could be said about you." Peter tells Gwen.
Gwen just walks up and touches Peter's chest to make sure he's at least real before engulfing him onto a hug.
"I've missed you so much." Gwen tells him.
"I've missed you, too." Peter says as he hugs her back.
Gwen releases him and looks at his face.
"You're not from here, are you?" Gwen asks him.
"No." Peter admits to her. "I'm from a parallel world. I'm here to help keep you safe, you're in danger." He explains.
"What, is it Thursday already?" Gwen asks and Peter chuckles at her sense of humor.
"Look, a villian from my reality called the Green Goblin is after you." Peter tells her.
"Green Goblin?" Gwen asks. "Sounds like something Fitz or Simmons would make up." She admits.
"Actually, Fitz is the guy who named him that." Peter informs her.
"I shouldn't be surprised." Gwen says when their senses go off and they quickly place their masks back on.
They turned to where their senses are guiding them and Goblin comes flying in and starts blasting them both.
"Well, well. Look at this. An old friend of ours, Parker." Norman says seeing it's Gwen who is this realities Spider-Man.
"Do I know this guy in your reality?" Gwen asks Peter.
"Uh...he...sorta...killed you." Peter admits to her.
"Oh..." Gwen says, not knowing how to respond to being told the man who murdered you is right there in front of you.
Norman comes back in and starts blasting more rockets at the two of them and they both use their skills to avoid getting hit.
"Follow me!" Gwen tells Peter and they escape while Norman couldn't see them.
Once the smoke cleared, Norman sees that the two Spider-Children have escaped.
-
Gwen and Peter escaped into the sewers where Goblin isn't likely to be able to find or follow them.
"Come on, these tunnels go on for miles. If your friend follows us, he can't find us." Gwen tells him and they start walking through to find a new way out.
"So, you knew my doppelgänger?" Peter asks the question hanging over his head for a while.
"Yeah. We were recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. around the same time...he became my best friend." Gwen tells him.
"What happened to him?" Peter asks.
"You sure you want to know?" Gwen asks him, hoping he doesn't.
"I'm not afraid to know." Peter says.
Gwen takes a minute to get a grip on herself. "Follow me." She tells Peter and starts leading the way.
-
Gwen brought him to a place she's all too familiar with. The grave where her best friend is buried.
"Peter Parker...is dead?" Peter asks Gwen.
"Yeah..." Gwen admits.
"Wow." Peter says, not knowing what else can be said.
"I tried to save you. But when S.H.I.E.L.D. collapsed, HYDRA got ahold of you. Turned you into a soldier for their cause. I did everything I could, and you were able to break free of their mind control. But ended up sacrificing yourself, and me. I... just couldn't live with myself afterwards. So I decided to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. and become my own hero." Gwen tells him while putting her hand on the tombstone. "I regret not going back to save him ever since."
"Gwen, if you went back and got killed with him?" Peter asks. "Would he have wanted that?"
"It's better than living with the thought of if I could have saved him." Gwen tells him. "I froze when he needed me most."
"Gwen, there isn't anything wrong with being afraid. Especially in our line of work, it's always going to happen in our line of work. But we have to keep moving. Tags what you told me at least." Peter tells her.
"Really?" Gwen asks.
"Yeah." Peter admits when their senses go off and they see someone new coming down.
He was a man wearing a full suit of armor and had a tail with a stinger on the back.
"Scorpion!" Gwen says, annoyed that he chose the worst time to show up.
"Look at this. I escaped prison to kill a Spider-woman, and now I get to kill two different spiders." Scorpion states.
"Come on, Mac. Don't you ever give the whole revenge thing a rest?" Gwen asks him.
"Not until I finally finish you off!" Mac says and sends his tail at her.
Peter webs Gwen and stops Scorpion from getting her, not ready to have her die a second time. Once she was at a safe distance, Peter leaps and kicks Scorpion in the back sending him flying.
"This isn't my first enemy, but it is my first that was based off of a scorpion." Peter admits when Gwen's senses alert her of something and she turns and sees Norman has caught back up with them.
"Hello again, my dear." Norman greets her.
"You might've been able to kill me once, but make no mistake, that's not happening here." Gwen promises him.
"We shall see about that." Norman says and starts shooting from his machine gun and Gwen flips to avoid the shots.
As for Peter, he's still trying to hold back Scorpion.
"This is the weirdest fight I've had in..maybe a week." Peter admits since this seems to be a pattern with these fights and enemies.
"Do you ever stop talking?!" Scorpion questions as he keeps trying to poison Peter.
"Maybe, but where's the fun in that?" Peter asks him when he looks and sees Gwen is fighting Norman. "Okay, let's wrap this up." Peter says seeing he needs to help Gwen.
He sends a taser web to shock Scorpion along with a web grenade to keep him occupied.
Gwen runs and flips off of a nearby tree and kicks Norman in the face.
"You are more impressive in this reality than in mine, my dear. But we need to end this." Norman says before he uses a syringe and when Gwen comes in to punch him, he stabs her and steals a sample of her blood.
"And now I don't need you." Norman says when he gets hit in the back and goes flying off of his glider.
"I told you, not this time!" Peter reminds Norman.
"You are becoming a serious pain, but I have what I came for. So now I no longer need you." Norman says and he opens another portal and calls his glider.
"I...gotta go." Peter tells Gwen, but now it feels like he's loosing her all over again.
"I'm gonna miss you, Pete." Gwen says and removed her mask and Peter sees the tears in her eyes.
"Me too." Peter tells her and removes his mask to look her in the eyes one last time.
They stand in silence for a second until Gwen quickly pecks his lips.
"I never got to tell you how I felt about you before." Gwen explains.
"We wer a thing in my reality, you know." Peter tells her.
"See you around, Spider-Man." Gwen says and places her mask back on.
"Catch ya later, Spidey." Peter says as he runs and leaps into the portal to the next reality.
As soon as he left, Gwen refocused her attention on Scorpion who has been knocked unconscious from the taser web Peter shot him with.
"Come on, let's get you to the NCPD where it's safe, Mac." Gwen tells him and starts dragging the mercenary back to prison.
-
Peter is back traveling through the rabbit hole to a whole new world.
After two crazy worlds, there's no way it could get any weirder, could it?
He exits the breach and quickly shoots a web and lands on a rooftop and looks around to see this isn't New York.
"Where am I?" Peter questions before making his way to the ground where he sees a newsreel playing.
"Spider-Man and the Flash, along with help has stop an attack of warrior super gorillas that has charged through Central City." The news tells the people.
"Super gorillas? The Flash? Okay, I wasn't expecting this." Peter admits.
