chapter four, put it on
__________________

The room stayed silent, mostly the westeros people still adjusting to the odd, particular way the future modern world is operating compared to theirs. They notice three important details. One; there is not a single dragon in the modern world. Second; in any moment of watching they know there is no monarchy instituted into civilization; so who rules their world?

Third; they (westeros) run an entire realm known to build certain fear into others, especially other kingdoms in order for the Targaryen dynasty to stay alive– but they are not mentioned once.

Helaena softly touches Michelle's arm as she tilts her head with curiosity. "Lady Michelle, do dragons not exist in your world?"

"Probably in space," replies Michelle not knowing herself. Although they do exist just hidden realms away from the rest of the world. Michelle looks at the princess who looks confused; Michelle fumbled with her words trying to explain, "Uh in the sky with stars? The universe?"

Michelle let out a sigh of relief when Helaena nodded. Viserys is intrigued at the fascination of how different their worlds are. "Targaryen do not exist in any of your worlds?"

Everyone who is not from westeros nodded, answering Viserys' question. As some history events may be for the books but not in the way they assume. Aemond looks at the others, as he mutters to himself. "How fascinating."

"I'm swinging here." Scene opens up to spider-man swinging through a new york bridge and heading into the city. Scene cuts to captain Watson walking besides police officers. "So 38 of New York's finest versus one guy in a unitard. Am I correct?"

Scene cuts to Miles opening the door very gently. Then closes it harshly, heading to the fridge with a camera showing May sitting down glancing at her. Miles looks in the fridge, "You don't have to wait up for me."

"Yes, I do," starts off May. Miles shakes her head reaching inside the fridge. "No, you don't."

"May is the best. You better have been nice to her afterwards," murmurs Gwyn to his girlfriend who rolls her eyes. Miles and Gwyn share a small smile as they are multiverse lovers, unknown to them that their relationship will end.

Is too risky for the young couple to be traveling to see each other. Much to their dismay things will get complicated when a certain spidey begins wanting to change the course of events which will cause an entire group of spider-man after them.

Peter three looks at Miles with curiosity in his eyes, "So, uhmm. You said, your own May exist in your new world, right?"

Miles nods furrowing her brows as were was he going with that. Peter three struggles with his words, "Uh, when we first met, you mentioned your world had a Peter Parker so–"

"What he is asking if there are two versions of May Parker in your world," murmurs Michelle reading a book in her hands as she flips the page. Peter three nods then looks at her, then at his spider-bros. "Did she have a book this entire time?"

"The better question is where did she get it from?" Peter two looks at her in curiosity then looks at Peter three as both of them look at Peter one who shrugs, "Is kind of her own super-power. "

"Right," starts off Peter three then looks at Miles. "Bread throwing lady is right. Do you have two versions of aunt May? Ow!"

Peter three looks at Michelle as the girl throws bread at his face. Peter three stands looking around but he didn't see any bread. He narrows his eyes as he looks at Peter one. "I'll say it again, why did you get a scary girlfriend?"

"How did she do that?" Questions Clint looking at Natasha who shrugs but doesn't say how on the side there is literal food for all of them to snack on. The archer shudders, "If you take her under your wing Nat, she would become a mini you."

"Why is that a bad thing?" The redhead narrows her eyes on the archer who looks away, glancing at Steve for help but the golden boy looks away not wanting to deal with the redhead's scary glare. The people of westeros couldn't help it as flicker of amusement passed by their eyes.

Miles furrows her brows trying to come up with the best explanation as she tilts her head. "Yes. My aunt May is still married to her version of Ben but they don't live in new york. They live in new jersey. There is still May Parker, aunt of Peter Parker as he was spider-man before I took the mantle. He was blonde Also–"

Gwyn covered her mouth with amusement flickering in his eyes as he shook his head. Miles's eyes widened as a certain mischief was placed in her. Explaining how the two of them are in human formed right now compared to how there actual lives is living in an animated world, will be hilarious.

"Yes, I do. Where were you?" May stands up moving towards her. Miles pauses staying in her position. "I was out."

"Did you get the eggs?" Questions May as she had a tired expression on her. Miles closes the fridge moving back to the door. "Nope. Forgot the eggs. I'm gonna get them now."

"No, you most certainly will not. Not at this hour. Look at me, Miles. Take off the damn hood and look at me." May moves towards her and brings her shoulder back towards her. Miles walks away as she is holding on the counter Miles takes off her hood revealing a black eye and cuts on cheek. May gasps. "Miles. Where do you go? Who does this to you?"

"Please go to sleep, Aunt May." Miles's eyes begin to watered as she is trying not to cry. May shakes her head, "Please tell me."

Rhaenys' expression hardened as she watched the wound on her face, her fingers clenched around the arms of her chair. "By the seven–," she muttered, her gaze never wavering from the screen. "Our Laena, brave as ever."

Her voice was barely above a whisper, laced with both anger and heartache. Corlys, for his part, sat silent and tense, his jaw set in a tight line. A storm brewed behind his typically calm violet eyes, his usually composed demeanor shattered by the sight of his daughter's surfering. "This isn't our daughter, Rhaenys. But nevertheless she is brave as we are. Sea is definitely in her"

"But she is still ours in some way. I can see it in her eyes, the way she carries herself," Rhaenys rebutted, her eyes still fixed on the screen, her heart aching for the girl who was their daughter but not their daughter.

Corlys reached out, placing a comforting hand on Rhaenys' shoulder. "I know," he said softly, the anger replaced by a profound sadness.

The pair fell silent, their shared pain mirrored in each other's eyes. All they could do was watch, helpless to intervene in the unfolding drama on the screen.

"Aunt May, please, please, please go to sleep," replies Miles as her face is covered with redness and slight tears mix with sweat. May raises her voice, "I can't sleep. Don't you understand? I can't sleep."

There is silence between the two when the kettle noise goes off. Miles moves to turn off as does May who looks at her with pleading in her eyes. "Miles, listen to me. Secrets have a cost. They're not for free. Not now, not ever."

Rhaenys frowns looking at her daughter, even though she doesn't remember her, Miles still carries the same spirit of Laena, the sea and soul is placed into her. Rhaenys may have felt envy given she didn't see her daughter fully become the woman she is but Rhaenys is enterally grateful that she has a person like May by her side. "She is grieving too dear. Be considerate to her as well."

"I will," nods Miles, looking at her, as she could see the flicker of pain in Rhaenys eyes. Miles frowns as she may not know them but she hasn't considered their feelings of how they must feel being in room with her. She was once told that when you are teenager every pain may feel like the worst thing but when you become a parent is different.

Nothing in the world is worse than losing your child.

Looking back at how she became Miles. Her past life as Laena seemed troubled with the pregnancy. Miles takes a moment to look at Baela and Rhaena, wondering if Laena left them in good hands?

Alicent thinks about the wise words of May. How secrets eventually come out. The auburn hair queen turns around to look at Rhaenyra; the realm's delight. The warm violet delights looking straight at her. It seems she didn't have to say anything as Rhaenyra said to her, "I know."

Alicent gives a small nod, as she turns around. She could feel the stares coming from her father but enough is enough. Is time to give up on the foolish desire for the iron throne. The irone throne is Rhaenyra's birthright and deep down she knows, her son is not fit to be king. Alicent looks at Aegon, where did she go wrong with him?

"Everything alright mother?" Questions Aemond looking at her mother with a thoughtful look. Alicent nods at him.

Miles walks away leaving May alone in the kitchen. Scene cuts to the city then to Connors. "Cross-species genetics is finally working. I've used the lizard DNA to help Freddy regrow that limb."

"It's a miracle," replies Ratha, looking down at the mouse in the cage. Connors shakes his head, "No, it's hard work and promise. It's a step closer to the primate lab."

"But he doesn't have time for every little step," replies Ratha. Connors looks at him with his brow raised. Ratha clears his throat, "I just mean he can't wait."

"Well, he'll have to. Unless he wants to be a lab rat," replies Connors, moving away from him. Ratha grabs a vial. "That's not what I'm saying."

"So, what are you saying?" Questions Connors looking at him. Ratha looks at him. "You have to start human trials. Now."

"No, I don't, and no, I won't," replies Connors. Ratha looks at him with his eyes narrowing. "Well, then he's going to die."

"People die. Even Norman Osborn," says Connors, grabbing his files moving away. Ratha gets in his way. "We are not finished."

"Human trials? Where are you going to find the people to volunteer?" Questions Connors scoffing at him. Ratha shrugs. "As far as anyone's concerned, it's for a flu shot. I might think the veterans hospital is a place to start."

"As if losing Norman would be such a bad thing," mumbled Peter one under his breath as the death of aunt May is still too fresh for him. Michelle looks at him with a frown as the name Norman seems familiar to her but she can't pinpoint exactly where from.

"Grandsire seems way more compassionate in the new world," mutters Aegon with a certain distaste in him. Otto has never been a loving grandfather.

Daemon exchanged wary glances with Rhaenyra. The notion of tampering with life and genetics in such a way was foreign and somewhat terrifying to him yet exciting? "Look at; the hand of the king does have a heart."

"Daemon," warns Viserys as the rogue prince rolled his eyes. The others from westeros didn't think Daemon was truly the correct person of commenting whether a person has a heart or not. But the rogue prince was way better company than being in room with Otto.

"Something is going on between them," murmurs Steve as the archer and redhead next to him nodded, everyone in the room could sense the tension between the people of westeros.

Baela looked pensive, her fingers twirling a strand of her silver hair. "It could save lives, but at what cost? It's all too easy for such power to be misused."

"Agreed sister," replies Rhaena knowing with the kind of power to do that, could cause harm falling into the wrong hands. Thor watched the scene with a thoughtful frown, his knowledge of earth's science still relatively confusing. "Like mutation?"

"Kind of," replies all three Peters as they are science nerds by heart and the concept sounds amazing but they knew it wasn't exactly the best thing to happen when they all live in a world that contain people who just want power and wealth.

In the beginning it was meant to be a cured but in the wrong hands it can cause damage. Peter one feels chill enter his spine, "If it did fall into wrong hands we will be living in a world like the last of us."

Bruce has his lips pressed into a thin line, a crease forming between his brows. "It's a dangerous game they're playing. I've seen firsthand what rushed science can lead to," he muttered, his thoughts drifting to the gamma radiation experiment that had turned him into the Hulk.

Tony on the other hand, leaned back, arms crossed over his chest. He had seen plenty of ambitious scientists overstep ethical boundaries in his time, and this was no different. "I can see why people stereotype scientists as mad crazy."

"You've gotta be kidding me." Connor's eyes widened in concern. Ratha shakes his head grabbing Connor's arm as he tries to walk away. "I don't think I am. It's a little late for shock and indignation, Curt. About 15 years late."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," replies Connor, avoiding eye contact. Ratha looks at him, touching the coat that Connor's wearing. "Jefferson Davis wore it well. On you, it's a cheap suit, as it was then."

"I had nothing to do with that," mutters Connors with a low voice. Ratha scoffs, "Is that what you told his daughter, Marlyia?"

"I don't know what you're saying," stutters Connors with his words. Ratha scoffs, "You don't know, or you don't wanna know? I'll remind you what happened. Jefferson Davis said just about the same thing then that you are saying now. The clock is ticking, Dr. Connors."

"I, I won't," replies Connors with hestaiton in his voice. Ratha nods, "Fine. The formula is ours now anyway. Say goodbye to that arm you have dreamed of. I'm shutting you down. Have your office cleared out by the morning. Your toys can be taken away too, you know. Right, Freddy?"

Everyone in the room looked confused as to what did Ratha meant. Peter one looked at Miles and Peter three as the two avoided their gaze given they are uncomfortable. All of them have a form of oscorp so he isn't sure what it is for him, could it be a shield scientist that his parents were part of?

"What happened to mom and dad?" Murmurs Peter one regardless of them looking different they are living the same certain events. As they were raised by their uncle Ben and aunt May that seems to carry throughout life as an important event. Peter two frowns as he doesn't know much but with the knowledge that Miles knows and Peter three perhaps he could get to the bottom of it.

Peter three frowns as it is a complicated story. "Is alot as from what I was able to gather dad wanted to ensure his work could not be replicated, so he and mom went on the run to get as far away from Norman Osborn and Oscorp as possible. To bury the truth about their deaths, Norman falsified evidence which branded them as traitors."

Everyone looked at Peter one and two seeing them register the information Peter three provided them. Peter one eyes darken with hostility as even though Norman Osborn doesn't exist in his world someone similar does. "Once again Norman being dead doesn't seem like a bad thing."

"Peter One," replies Peter two with disapproving tone in his eyes as he knows that Peter one is still carrying alot of burden and grief with him. Many look at Peter, one who looks exhausted. Tony frowns as what happened to the kid?

Jace looks at Luke as perhaps, they should get to the bottom of what happened to their fathers. That includes both Harwin and Laenor. Luke looks at his older brother, "Jace."

"Don't worry Luke," replies Jace with a low voice. He has enough of the lies and rumors that have reached his ear, it is time he does his own path to figure out the truth.

Screen cuts to Miles shutting her locker and walking into the hallway. MJ is running to catch up. Miles smiles, taking off her hat. "Hey."

"Hi." MJ replies, Miles says something as MJ spoke at the same time, "Where you headed?"

"Monday, B track," says Miles, avoiding her gaze.  MJ smiles, "Oh, it's Thursday."

"It's Thursday?" Miles pauses looking at her in shock. MJ frowns looking at Miles's bruised face. "What happened to your eye?"

"What?" Questions Miles in confusion. MJ frowns looking at her. "Your eye, it looks bruised."

Miles nods, moving her side of face away from MJ's view. "Oh, yeah, no, I don't, maybe I got a rash or–"

"It's bad. Have you gone to the nurse?" MJ cuts her off, taking a step forward to see the bruise. Miles lets out a soft hmm. MJ tilts her head. "Do you like branzino? Like, a fish."

"No, no. I know. I know," nods Miles. MJ shifts in her position writing down on piece paper giving to her. "Well, if you want you can come to this address at 8 tonight. My mom's making branzino. So, oh, it's apartment 2016. I didn't write that part down. I don't know why I–"

"I'll remember it," says Miles, cutting her off with a smile. MJ nods, begins to walk away then pauses to look at her. "Oh, okay. 2016."

Everyone in the room (minus the westeros men) could not help but gush out compliments of how adorable the two are. Miles and MJ are blushing as they bury themselves down their seats. Gwyn looks at them, "That is too cute."

"You know we are dating, right?" Miles looks at Gwyn and shrugs, "Your point? I still can appreciate beautiful romance moments."

Michelle snickers under her breath, "We love a healthy relationship."

"This too weird as that is her ex," murmurs Clint as he will never understand the way teenagers function and think. Natasha smirks leaning into the archer, "Wait until your kids start dating."

Clint's eyes widened in horror. Rhaenyra has a soft smile placed on her as she whispers to her father. "I am glad she is surrounded by people that care about her."

Viserys nods in agreement as he looks at Rhaenys. Viserys has always talked about being close with the family and having each other's back but did he have hers?

Scene cuts to Connor putting his card into the keypad and entering a lab. When a certain substance is pledged into a syringe device. Connors takes the device heading outside the lab so he could sit. Connors punches devices as he injects himself, he groans out of pain. Connors begins to grunt and shake.

No one said anything but they could tell that was not a good thing at all. They all look between Miles and Peter three still weird how their lives parallel each other, but is it really odd?

Sometimes one thinks they have a unique experience but turns out the next person may have the same experience.

Scene cuts to MJ in her bedroom reading some books. Camera zooms out showing MJ reading as by the window Miles jumps down looking at her as she taps the window. MJ moves, opening the window, smiling at her. "Hi. How did you get out there?"

"The fire escaped. Your doorman's intimidating," replies Miles as she enters MJ's room. MJ looks at her in disbelief. "It's 20 stories."

"Yeah. It's all right. This is your room." Miles looks around as MJ smiles at her. MJ nods at her. "Yes, this is my room."

"Books. Shoes," starts off Miles. MJ laughs at her as Miles's eyes widen. Miles takes off her backpack, opening it and taking out flowers. "Oh, hey, I got your mom, these."

"Oh, lovely," replies MJ looking at the colorful flowers that are slightly crushed. Miles tilts her head smiling as she smells the flowers. "Beautiful, right?"

Everyone bursted out laughing at the crushed flowers as Miles had hid her face. Michelle lip's quirk up a bit, "Miles I don't expect that from you. That is more web-head thing."

"Is not my–" starts off Peter three completely offended but Peter one cuts him off looking at Michelle. "Wait! You remember meeting Miles?"

"Yeah we were at the statue of liberty then–'' Michelle frowns as her brown orbs eyes try to concrete what happened next but she couldn't remember. Michelle looks at Peter one as she crosses her arms. "You better start explaining loser."

Peter one laughs as he looks at the screen. "Will you look at that the screen is back on."

"Is paused," replies Miles as she looks between Michelle and Peter one as it is weird that when they saw her she was an adult and now she is younger than them both. Peter one glares at her. "Is on."

"Is paused."

"Well it's on now."

"Still paused."

"Miles!"

"Beautiful," repeated MJ. Miles smiles as she nods at her. "They were, they were nice."

"No, they're beautiful," says MJ. Miles covers her face with flowers as she mumbles out an apology. "I'm sorry."

"No, it's impressive. They actually held together very well," chuckles MJ looking at her. Miles puts the flowers back in backpack. "I'm gonna keep these."

"You have your dress in there?"  Questions MJ looking at her with a smile on her face. Miles looks at her in confusion. "My dress?"

"Unless you want to wear a suit. It's for dinner. Are you gonna," MJ stops talking looking at Miles' confusion. MJ spoke softly. "Are you gonna wear that?"

MJ begins to talk when the door is open reavaling he father; Denis Watson. "Hey, hon. You must be Miles."

"Dad, this is Miles" says MJ standing next to Miles as she looks at her. Miles holds her backpack as she looks nervous as she moves to shake his hand. "Hey. Nice to meet you, sir."

"Nice to meet you. Dinner's ready. Hope you like branzino." Denis looks at her. Miles nods with a smile. "Who doesn't?"

"For me it was my first time having it," admits Peter three as he remembers the fish just staring back at him. He really didn't even know where to start. Miles smiles softly, "It was my first time too."

Peter two scratches his head as he looks at MJ who looks so different from his, as his MJ has her with fiery red hair. "For my MJ her dad was kind of an asshole and she never spoke to him. You seem to have a good relationship with him."

"He is the best," replies MJ looking at the older Peter– she is kind of freaked out about the whole multiverse thing but the geek in her wants to know more about how it works. MJ looks at Michelle who is a variant of her. "What about you?"

"Love my dad. I got mommy issues," replies Michelle with shrug. Peter one frowns as her mom hasn't been the best to her and that is why she prefers to go as Jones instead Jones-Watson. Michelle turns her head, looks at Peter one, referencing how she remembers Miles but doesn't remember beyond much. "Going to explain loser?"

"Nope," replies Peter, one giving her a cheeky smile. Michelle rolls her eyes but her lips quirk up. Thor looks at his teammates. "Young love is adorable."

"Yeah it is pointbreak," murmurs Tony, as just from observing the two he can tell they balance each other out.

Scene cuts to Connor waking up and looking as his arm that had grew and it has a green shell over it. Connors uses his other arm and breaks off the shell, as it shows a new arm and hand grown. Connors moves to the phone. "Emma, it's Curt. Is he there."

"I'm afraid not, doctor. The car is taking him to the veterans hospital in Brooklyn," replies Emma from the otherline. Connors shakes his head, "No. He can't, Emma. You have to stop him. He–"

"I would, but I always lose him on the bridge. I'll make sure Dr. Ratha returns your call as soon as possible."

Connors begins to breathe heavily as he stumbles down the floor knocking objects. Scene cuts to Connors entering a cab, speaking to the driver.  "Holton Avenue, across the river. I'm in a hurry."

"You want me to take the tunnel or the bridge?" Spoke the driver. Connor looks at his new arm that begins to mutate, growing in size and transforming to a reptile texture. "Bridge! Take the bridge."

"All right, we'll do that. Hey, you all right, back there? You're tweaking, man?" The Driver turns to him. Connors groans out of pain muttering through his words. "Just drive."

"Okay," replies the driver as he drives into the city. Scene cuts to Miles trying to cut through the fish. She begins to poke it as MJ's mother spoke to him. "You're having trouble there? The head goes on the other. Simon, help MJ's friend with her fish."

Rhaena's eyes widened in shock as she watched Connors' arm mutate and grow into something reptilian. "What in the seven hells..." she whispered, turning to glance at Baela, who looked equally startled.

Rhaenyra, on the other hand, had a grim expression on her face, her fingers tightly interlaced. "That is a nightmare," she said quietly. "That could have not left any good traits for the future if it continues to spread."

Alicent watched the scene, her face devoid of any emotion but her eyes were filled with concern. As someone who was more familiar with court politics than anything else, the sight of such a drastic physical transformation was disconcerting.

Jace took a deep breath, his fists clenched in his lap. "That's not Otto," he murmured, more to himself than anyone else. Mostly at the fact is disturbing seeing how his skin is transforming.

"But it is, in some way," Alicent pointed out, her voice calm and collected. "Just like Miles is Laena in a different reality, this Connors is Otto in another just different way perhaps."

"Just more compassionate," murmurs Aemond, as Otto does everything for selfish reasons.

Rhaena found her voice again, her gaze flickering to the other screen where Miles was fumbling with a fish. "And she's just a child in this world, isn't she? Look at her so out of place. It must seem eating properly is not a thing that is much importance, as in the modern world seems to have more freedom involved."

"Oh my," Rhaenyra whispered, her gaze softening as she looked at Miles knowing that will lead her in battle with Connors. "This is a cruel fate, to be forced to watch and do nothing."

Everyone not part of westeros group look at Rhaena with frown as she is a child herself, yet talks with so much grace. The westeros group remained silent after that, their attention divided between Connors' terrifying transformation and Miles' clumsy attempt at preparing a fish.

It was a strange, heartbreaking juxtaposition that spoke volumes about the two very different, very complicated lives they were forced to observe.

"Oh, I, I got no idea," mutters Miles as MJ's brother moves to her. Miles looks at MJ who whispers to her. "Branzino."

"George. Tell us about your day," spoke MJ's mother to George; MJ's brother. George looks at his father Denis. "Oh yeah dad, did you catch that spider guy yet?"

Denis sighs, shaking his head. "No, we haven't catch him yet. But we will. He's an amateur who's assaulting civilians in the dead of night. He's clumsy, he leaves clues but he's still dangerous."

"He's assaulting people?" Questions Miles looking at Denis. Miles looked down at her meal as she spoke softly. "I'm not sure. I mean, I saw that video with him and the car thief, and I think most people would say that he was providing a public service."

Everyone grimaced clearly seeing the hosltiiy in Denis' voice as he spoke about spider-man. Bruce looks at Miles with an amused smile."Couldn't stay quiet could you?"

Miles lets out a nervous chuckle. She fumbles with her words, "I mean I was there. And it was my first time and I was still not used to hearing people's opinion of spider-man being a bad guy when all I wanted to do is help out."

Peter three snapped his fingers recalling that moment for him. "Exaactly."

"Most people would be wrong. If I wanted the car thief off the street, he'd already be off the street," replies Denis. Miles nods in curiosity, "So why wasn't he then?"

MJ begins to laugh awkwardly. Denis looks at Miles, "Let me illuminate you.The car thief was leading us to the people who run the operation. It's a six-month-long sting. It's called strategy. I'm sure you're aware of the term? You've heard about that in school?"

"Good," replies Denis, seeing Miles nod. MJ looks at mom who mouths, 'I know,' as MJ sighs in her seat. Miles looks at him, "He didn't know you had a plan. You seem to know a lot about this. Know something we don't?"

"Whose side are you on?" Questions Denis narrowing his eyes. Miles shakes her head. "I'm not on anyone's side. I saw a video on the internet–"

"You saw the video on the Internet. Well, then the case is closed," cuts off Denis. Miles clears her throat as she sinks in her seat a bit. "Well, no. If you watch the video. Maybe send you a link? It looks like he's trying to help."

"On the Internet he's being made out to look like a masked hero," says Denis, setting his fork down. Miles shakes her head. "No, no. I'm not saying he's a hero."

"What are you trying to say?" Questions Denis with frustration. Miles shakes her head, "He's trying to help. He's trying to do something the police can't."

Denis looks at her. "Something the police can't? I don't know. What do you think we do? Sit around eating doughnuts with our thumbs planted up our asses?"

"Denis. Denis," starts off as MJ's mother. MJ shaking her head at her father. George looks at his father. "Up your what, dad?"

Many in the table give him a questioning look. Miles takes a bite as she spoke sofley to Denis. "I think he stands for what you stand for, protecting innocent people from bad guys."

Denis scoffs lightly, "I stand for law and order, kid. That's what I stand for. I wear a badge. Okay? This guy wears a mask like an outlaw. He's hunting down criminals that all look the same like he's got some sort of personal vendetta. But he's not protecting innocent people, Ms. Morales."

Everyone laughs at that. Gwyn shakes his head. "101 on how to get on the father's bad side, by insulting his work profession."

Although he gets it, given his father is an officer as well. Miles lets out a groan, it wasn't her intention in the first place to offend him. She was trying to make him be open-minded at the time and he eventually was, but it was too late for that.

Miles looks at MJ as her mind hasn't been offaly the best. She got her memories back of meeting the spidey-bros and helping Peter one after she saved the multiverse.

Miles looks at Peter one, "When we get out of here can you ask your wizard friend as what happened to my old universe?"

Everyone looked at Miles in confusion as to what she is referring to and who is the wizard person she mentions as she also mentioned it when they first arrived. Peter one furrows his brows, "What do you mean?"

Miles's eyebrows slightly furrow, showing a readiness to engage and convey her thoughts. There is a poised stillness about her, as if she is gathering her thoughts and preparing to articulate them with precision and clarity. "When he made the spell sending each of us back to our universe, I never went back, which we know but what happened to my universe when I didn't return?"

Everyone is quiet as they are processing everything Miles just said. Peter two furrowed his brows, "You know, you mentioned as you didn't go back before but is starting to sink in now. So you did not go back to your universe? At all?"

Miles shakes her head, she was sent into the one she is now. Peter one, lips might gently lift, revealing a touch of determination mixed with a hint of warmth. His eyes, bright and attentive, conveying a sense of connection and sincerity. "He doesn't remember me but I'll do my best to talk to him."

"Thanks Peter," replies Miles as she didn't need to justify which one out of three it was as her eyes are locked onto Peter ones.

"Let's get some air, Miles," starts off MJ putting down her fork. MJ stands up as she shakes her head. "Dad, we need to talk."

"Yes, we do," replies Denis. Miles looks at Denis, "Thank you for having me. I'm sorry if I insulted you. It was not my intention."

"You're welcome," replies Denis. Miles pushes the chair as she looks at MJ's mother. "Branzino was real good, Mrs. Watson."

"At least you apologized," snickers Gwyn as Miles hits him on the shoulder. Everyone let out an amused chuckle at the two interacting.

Clint whispers to his teammates, "Still weird that she is in room with her boyfriend, along with her ex-girlfriend and they are all getting along."

Steve raises his brow in amusement, "Out of everything we have seen, that is weird to you?"

"Yeah katniss. Is that were you are crossing the line?" Tony looks at the archer who shrugs. Clint leans back in his seat, "Seeing weird things is part of the job. But this is just messy."

"Oh my god," murmurs Natasha under breath. Which caused the five men part of her team to snicker slightly.

Miles walks away from the dining room with her head down. The scene cuts to the two outside on top of a rooftop. MJ sighs, "Well, that was something."

The two move closer to the edge as they gaze at the city lights. Miles sighs, putting her hands in her pocket. "I'm sorry. I thought he was going to arrest me at one point."

"No, I wouldn't have let him arrest you," replies MJ. Miles leans over the edge as MJ leans to her. "What happened to your face?"

"I wanna tell you something," says Miles at the same time as she spoke. MJ nods at him, "Okay."

"I've been bitten," Miles struggles over her words. MJ smiles at her teasingly. "So have I."

Miles moves closer as she struggles with her words. "Okay. Okay, okay, okay. I gotta tell you this one thing. I gotta tell you this one thing about the vigilante and the car thief. Alright."

"Oh, okay." MJ takes a step back. Miles looks confused at her. "What?"

MJ looks at her. Miles sighs, shaking her head, "No, no, no. I don't want to talk about that. Forget that. I won't talk about that. I'm gonna talk about me, okay?"

"What about you?" Questions MJ moving a bit closer. Miles sighs as she stutters, "It's impo.. I wish I could just... I can't. It's hard to say."

"Just say it." MJ spoke softly to her. Miles sighs leaning over the edge a bit. "I don't know."

Everyone snickers as they see Miles on the screen look so confused as MJ is trying to make her open up. Luke, with his seafarer's stoicism, watched the screen with a careful, assessing gaze, his brow slightly furrowed. "It's not easy to carry a secret like that and just say it openly."

Helaena Targaryen, ever the empathetic soul, felt a pang in her heart for Miles. She murmured, "I understand that struggle, the fear of revealing your true self, fearing that they might not understand or worse, reject you."

Michelle frowned as she offered a smile at the princess who returned a small one. Viserys wonders why she just does not say it as was obviously clear MJ cares for her. "Why can't she just say it? What is she so afraid of?"

Thor frowns glancing at Viserys who Thor knew was king given the way many treat him. Thor is a man of many battles and a bearer of many burdens himself. "Fear, Viserys. Fear of the unknown, of being judged, of losing those you care about."

Steve nodded as someone like him with the wisdom of someone who'd lived through too many wars and losses. "Secrets can be a heavy burden. Trusting someone with it, that's one of the hardest things to do. But it's also one of the most liberating things to do."

The room fell silent again, as they continued to watch, each dealing with the unfolding situation in their own way with empathy, understanding, frustration, concern, and wisdom, reflecting their own experiences and personalities.

"Say it. What? What? What?" MJ says a Miles moved closer to her. Miles shakes her head. MJ sighs as she walks away. "Okay, then forget it."

Miles shoots a web at her twirling MJ closer to her as Miles' hands are on her waist. MJ looks at her in shock. "You?"

Miles kisses MJ as the two share a moment. MJ pulls back, stumbling on her words. "You're Spider-Man."

"Shut up," teased Miles, kissing her again. A voice is heard by MJ's mother but the two continue to kiss. MJ's mother had a smile on her. "MJ? MJ, your father wants you to come inside."

"Okay," replies MJ as the two pull apart. MJ's mother looks at her. "Okay? Yeah. MJ."

"I'm coming," whispers MJ. The two walk but Miles pauses hearing siren, Miles moves closer to the edge. Scene cuts to Denis exiting out of a building running inside a police car. Scene cuts back to the roof as Miles leaps off the roof. MJ is watching her from afar as she whispers to herself. "Oh, I'm in trouble."

"Finally!" Exclaims Clint as this was such a slow burn moment for those two. Everyone looks at him. Clint shrugs, "What? It was about time as they obviously are in love."

"Oh my god Clint," murmured Natasha at his childlike beahvior. While many thought that moment was too cute. Peter three had a soft smile remembering his first kiss with Gwen. There is nothing more beautiful than falling in love for the first time.

Helaena squealed in delight as she didn't think that love could truly be beautiful. Well how could she even experience that as she in a forceful relationship with her brother. Helaena frowns as she wonders what it would feel like to have someone who loves you.

Helaena looks at Michelle with curiosity in her eyes. "Lady Michelle, do you think I am capable of ever experiencing something as beautiful as their love?"

Michelle frowns as she couldn't imagine being in the position Helaena is in, forced to be in a relationship and have everyone look at you a certain way. "I do think so Hel. The world is so quick to judge and too late to understand but someone who understands and love you will come to you. Just take it day by day."

Helaena smiles at the short version of her name that Michelle called her. "Lady Michelle, you will make a fine princess."

"Thank you Hel," replies Michelle as she doesn't have it in her heart to tell her that she would not make a good princess. She speaks her mind way too much and she doesn't fit in social norms.

Scene cuts to the cab completely tore as the camera zoomed out showing the cab end being completely torn out. Camera moves to the bridge showing Ratha talking to the driver. "Will you please find out what is going on, Alfred?"

The driver exits the car, leaving Ratha inside. The car shakes as thud is heard ontop of the car. Ratha sighs, "Oh. Excellent."

"Hey! Hey! What is that?" Exclaims Ratha when the car is pushed to the side and hears a bunch of people screaming. Ratha tries to exist but is stuck. Camera zooms to Miles swinging ontop of the bridge looking at the chaos underneath her. Miles changes as underneath is her suit, looking down as a giant lizard is storming the bridge.

Miles leaps down towards the bridge. Miles swings as the car is about to be thrown off but she saves with her webs (this being shown through Ratha's point view from inside the car.) Ratha seeps down his seat as a giant claw is torn from above the car, trying to get him, the claw jamps from the window. Ratha struggles when voice is heard loudly.

"Incoming!" Miles swings across hiting the lizard away from the car. Miles quickly shoots web to a car that is thrown off the bridge. Camera zooms showing the multiple cars dangling from the bridge. Miles quickly turns to see the lizard then a man yelling is heard. "Somebody help! Help me! My kid is trapped!"

Miles looks at him back at the lizard, seeing the lizard jump off the bridge. Miles swings across landing ontop of a car hearing littl boy yelling. "I want my dad! Dad!"

Everyone was a bit in shock grasping the situation as three things were happening. One; for the adults in the room is starting to sink in that Miles is a teenage hero risking her life. Two; a little boy is trapped. Three; Connors is a giant Lizard.

People of westeros are too shocked to even speak. Bruce looks at his teammates who look shocked. "Come on guys, I turn giant and green when I get angry."

"At least you look good," replies Tony as his eyes are locked on to the giant lizard. Peter two and three look at Peter on who shakes his head. "Long story."

Miles punches the back window as inside she sees a little boy on the seat. "Hey' hey. Hey. Hey, buddy. It's okay."

"Get away," murmurs the little boy in fear. Miles takes off her mask looking at the little boy. "Help! Hey, look. Just a normal girl, all right? Wanna hold this?  Hold my mask. All right."

Miles hands the boy the mask as her voice lowers as gently as possible. "What's your name?" Miles looks at a bag that the boys name on it. "Jack?"

"Yes," whispers Jack looking at her. Miles nods as she carefully moves closer. "Let's get you out of here. Okay, stay very still."

"All right," mumbles Jack. Camera cuts to outside the car as oil is leaking. Camera cuts back as Miles crawls all the way inside towards him. "Okay, I got you. Okay, look. I'll undo the belt. You hold onto that seat in front of you. On three?"

"All right." Miles nods as her hand moves towards the seatbelt. "Okay, one, two, three."

Jack moves down but Miles easily gets him, as she smiles at him. "See how easy that was? You did a great job. All right, okay."

Miles head's glance back as fire is being spread throught the car, as camera from outside shows the car falling down. Miles shoots a web forward that attaches to the bridge as her free hand holds onto the car. Jack screams, Miles grunts doing her best to hold the car. Miles looks at the boy. "Jack, climb now."

"I can't," murmurs Jack in fear. Miles nods at him as her eyes look at her mask in his hand. "Yes, you can. Put it on, the mask. It's gonna make you strong. Jack, trust me. Put it on."

Rhaenys heart swells with pride. With her empathetic nature and love for children, she is on the edge of her seat, her hands clenching the armrest. "By the seven, she has the heart of a dragon, saving the boy like that."

Corlys nods agreeing with his wife. He could not help feeling a certain proudness watching his daughter be a good person "That's Laena. That's definitely Laena in there. The same spirit, the same courage."

Rhaena would watch quietly, her eyes squinting as she leaned forward, thoroughly engaged in Miles' heroics. "She bears mother's strength, but this courage, this resolve it's entirely her own."

With a fond smile, Rhaenyra thinks about all the times she spent with her cousin. "Laena is definitntly in her. Her bravery it's stunning."

Daemon is a warrior and adventurer who prided himself on his courage and cunning, so seeing the spirit of his wife, Laena, embodied in Miles was leaving nostalgia of adventures they had.

He feels a twinge of guilt. "Laena was one of us, a dragon. Miles, she's no different. A different kind of dragon, maybe, but a dragon nonetheless."

Jack puts the mask on. Miles has a soft smile encouraging him. "There you go. That's it. That's it, buddy. Okay, now, climb. Come on, Jack. Do me a favour. A little faster, okay, bud? You're doing great, buddy. You're doing great."

"That's it. Keep coming. Keep it coming. Keep coming." Miles is struggling on the hold but keeps telling Jack motivated words. The car slips off Miles' hold as she screams. "No!"

Jack screams as Miles quickly shoots a web on his chest pulling him up. Miles closes her eyes in relief as she pulls them up. Scene cuts to Jack's father leaning on the bridge as Miles with her mask on hands him jack. The father embraces his son. "Jack. Oh, God. Thank God. You okay? My son. My son. Oh, my son. My son."

"Who are you?" Questions the father. Miles wearing her mask pauses for a moment as she does her best to deepen her voice. "Spider-Man."

"Oh my god did you deepen your voice?" Teases Gwyn as that was so hilarious too him.  MJ chuckles as she looks at Miles, clearing her throat as she deepened her voice. "I'm Spider-Man."

MJ and Gwyn give each other a high five as they laugh even harder seeing Miles pout. Miles shakes her head, "Not funny guys."

"Is pretty funny," injected Peter three with a chuckle. Michelle was going to say something but Peter three beat her to it. "This did not happen to me, bread-throwing lady."

"Fair enough," replies Michelle as she leans back, letting it slide for the nickname he used. Tony shakes his head, "I will never understand teenagers. She just saved the kid and they are talking about how she deepened her voice."

Clint nods agreeing with the billionaire, "And how come there isn't drama? Her ex and her current boyfriend just gave each other an high fived?"

"Seriously dude?" The redhead has enough of the archer antics. Clint shrugs, "I live for drama."

Miles shoots a web swinging off the bridge. Scene cuts to Miles in her suit sitting with her legs crossed as she looks down on the mask infront of her. Scene cuts to a sewer where a shadow of the lizard is groaning as it is completely transforms. Camera shifts as it is Connors who falls into the sewer water, gasping. Scene cuts to him changed looking at the tube attached to the wall. "Beautiful."

Scene cuts to the new york building then to Captain Denis talking to a bunch of reporters. "Settle down, guys. Settle down, boys. Settle down. Come on. Listen, at approximately 9 p.m. last night, an incident took place on the Williamsburg Bridge."

Scene cuts to May pouring orange juice, Miles eating cereal as they watch the news Denis is giving. "Much of what occurred is speculation at this point. However, several eyewitnesses to the crime, as well as our own preliminary findings, have positively placed one individual at the scene."

"Which is why, this morning I am issuing a warrant for the masked vigilante known as Spider-Man." Miles gets up and exits as May glances at her in worry. Scene cuts to Miles and MJ sitting in the school bleachers.

Camera moves to MJ who is wearing a plastic glove looking at the dead spider trapped in a bottle. "It's so beautiful."

Every person who is into science nodded in agreement with MJ's words as she examined the dead spider that bit Miles. Thor tilts his head as he looks confused. "A dead creature is beautiful?"

"Yes and is arachnida," replies Bruce as he couldn't help but correct Thor by mentioning the group the spider is in.

Steve frowns as they all turn back to the screen, as is no one going to comment that spider-man is declared as a wanted criminal?

"Knows how to bite though," murmurs Miles looking at her. MJ sets the bottle down looking at Miles. "Who else knows about this?"

"Just you," replies Miles quickly. MJ looks surprised as she looks at her, to say 'really?' The two smile at each other. Miles looks down as she sighs with her voice hinted with certain hurt. "Hey, you-you don't, you don't believe what the police are saying, do you?"

"Of course not," whispers MJ with gentleness in her. Miles nods as she looks away. MJ's voice becomes even softer looking at Miles. "Does it scare you? What you can do?"

"No. No," replies Miles with a big smile on her. MJ face features harden a bit. "What did that thing on the bridge look like?"

"It was real big. Too big to be human," replies Miles as she looks at MJ who looks worried. MJ nods softly, "You gotta lay low."

"No, can't do that," replies Miles, shaking her head. MJ sighs looking at her. "You've got to. I mean, why?"

Miles sighs as she looks at her. "Because of last night. Those people on the bridge. Whatever was attacking them would have killed them. So, I gotta go after it."

"That's not your job," replies MJ softly. Miles shrugs. "Maybe it is."

Everyone frowned at that minus the spidey group as they feel like it is, given how they were raised and the responsibilities that come with their powers. Natasha shakes her head as she soften her features. "It isn't your job."

"It really is though," replies Peter two as the other spidey nodded in agreement. Miles looks at Natasha, "If not us then who? Not all the universes have groups of heroes to fight for them."

Everyone looks at the spidey people with respect in their eyes and in their hearts. While, Natasha could tell they have the nicest souls and all have a huge guilt complexion.

The two stayed quiet. Miles smiles as blush is on her. "I really liked kissing you. You're an amazing kisser."

"Well, you know, it was. It was good for me too." MJ smiles, bringing her head down as a way to cover her blush. Miles moves closer, "Yeah?"

Miles was moving to kiss her when her hand reached out grabbing a footbal throwing it and hitting the goal denting it. Miles and MJ both look shocked at that. Scene cuts to Miles walking inside the oscorp office looking at the mess. "Hello!"

Miles grabs onto something but quickly puts down hearing Connors' voice. "It's not nice to snoop. I gave everyone the week off."

"Yeah," replies Miles with a tiny smile on her. Connors moves to grab some files looking at her. "Shouldn't you be at school?"

Miles moves as her hands are in her pockets. "No, I got a free track. I wanted to ask you a question. How would a predator, track a reptile?"

Everyone snickered at the change of pace. One second the two teen girls were talking about their kiss then the second later was a complete 180 turn. Jace looks at Miles with cursioity in his brown eyes. "Was it the best idea to go to him?"

"Probably not," replies Miles with sheepishly smile. Otto has been quiet just oberseivng and he just feels agitated. Whether it is his face being shown on the screen they are certainly not the same person.

Peter three leans to his two spidey bros, as he looks at them and at Michelle and the Helaena. "Princess," he starts off as he doesn't want to seem disrespectful. "Spoiler alert we are hitting midway."

"What does the term spoiler alert mean?" Helaena looks at him with her purple hues full of wonder. Peter three clears his throat, "Uhhh. Right so princess, it's a pretty simple idea. Imagine you're about to read a news story, um, in my world, a book or watch a movie and it's a story you're really excited about. Maybe it's the next great adventure of the–"

"Serwyn of the mirror shield," injects Michelle knowing stuff from history class. Peter three snaps his fingers nodding as the princess looks excited. Helaena leans forward, "A new tale of Serwyn? I would love that."

Peter three smiles softly,  "Imagine someone else has already read that story, and they tell you what happens. They reveal the end, or a big surprise that was meant to be a shock. That's a spoiler."

"I see. And what does this have to do with an alert?" Helaena nods but still confused. Peter three tilts his head, "Ah, right. Is basically a warning. If I'm about to tell you something that could spoil a story, I'll say 'spoiler alert' first. That gives you a chance to leave to prevent from hearing what is next."

"Thank you for explaining," replies Helaena offering him a typical delightful princess smile. Peter three nodded at her as his spider-bros gave him thumbs up. "Of course, princess."

"Oh, they don't. Most reptiles are at the top of their food chain. Kings of their domain," replies Connors looking down at a bunch of files. Miles leans onto the table. "They gotta have vulnerabilities, right?"

"Why the sudden interest in the cold-blooded?" Questions Connors, turning his body to face hers. Miles pauses for a second as she shrugs playfully. "Just asking a question. I got school stuff. Biology profiles to do. So because of the cold blood, would they react to changes in temperatures?"

"You'd have to catch one first," murmurs Connors as he looks down at a small device on his hand, continuing to speak to Miles. "Did you know there's a rumour of a new species in New York? Beautiful and quite large."

"What do you know about it? You seen it?" Questions Miles in curiosity.  Connors looks at her. "No, it's not yet classified. But it can be aggressive, if threatened."

"Doc, you all right?" Miles spots a light green patch on the side of Connor's neck. Connors smiles at her. "Never been better, Miles. Never been better. Now, if you'll excuse me. Afraid I have to ask you to leave. I have a new project I'm working on. I need to be alone."

Miles nods as she exits as does Connors. Miles holds back as Connors quickly walks forward looking back at Miles. "Don't worry, Ms. Morales. I'll be back. Wonderful things are coming. Wonderful things."

Connors exits as Miles looks slightly alarmed. Miles hears a low growling. Miles turns to the side, seeing a cage broken and the mouse on the floor eating something as it is covered in blood. "Fred?"

Everyone winces seeing the mouse completely turned from the adorable mouse in the start to that. Clint leans back and shakes his head. "That isn't good."

"No shit," replies Natasha back as the room becomes tensed of what is next.
