Chapter 44: The Spider Society
(Earth-928)
(Nueva York. January, 2099)
Y/N's P.O.V
Gwen, Hobie and I come out of a portal.
The three of us land on an platform and I take off my mask.
Hobie and Gwen take off their masks.
I look at Hobie.
Y/N: How are you even cooler under your mask?
Hobie: I was this cool the whole time.
We're joined by Jess.
I turn and look out of the window.
Y/N: Whoa. Are we in the future?
Jess: Yes. On Earth-928 the year is 2099.
Gwen taps me on the shoulder.
Gwen: Hey, over here.
I turn and see a door open infront of us.
We all walk out and I see multiple Spider-People.
Y/N: Yo. This place is wild.
Jess: Any sign of Spot?
Spider-Woman: Let me ask. Hey, anyone spot Spot?
Jess: Oh, that's funny. Anyone else got jokes?
All of them start to make their jokes at the same time. They're definitely Spider's.
I look around.
Y/N: Man, this is insane.
Gwen: This is the lobby.
Y/N: Oh.
We stop and see even more Spider-People.
Gwen: Welcome to Spider Society.
All of us go further in and walk among the Spider-People.
Hobie: It's a bit much, innit?
Y/N: So, this is the "small elite strike team?"
Gwen: Well, alot of these guys are part-time.
She and Hobie walk on ahead. I can't get over how cool this all is.
Just then I hear barking.
Y/N: Is that a dog?
I then see a puppy wearing a Spider-Man mask and red bandana run up to me.
(A/N: This is the puppy.)
I kneel down and start stroking him.
Y/N: Hey there, buddy. Hi. Is this a Spider-Pup or something?
Gwen: No, that's a regular pup wearing a Spider-Man mask. His name is Lucky.
He starts licking my face.
Y/N: Where'd you find him?
Gwen: Jess and I found him a couple of weeks ago on Earth-92. It's a dead Earth.
Y/N: Dead Earth?
Gwen comes over and strokes him.
Gwen: Yeah, it's a wasteland. This puppy was the only living thing left there. That's why we call him Lucky.
Y/N: Ah, that sucks. You're a good boy, huh?
He barks.
Gwen: Hey, come on. Let's keep moving.
Y/N: Yep.
We go to catch up with Hobie and Jess.
Lucky follows us.
He walks alongside me.
I guess he likes me, so I pick him up and carry him.
As we walk through I learn alot of them are called Peter.
Gwen: Hey, Peter.
Y/N: Hi, I'm Y/N. I'm the new recruit.
Jess: Peter, take a team to the transport deck to help deal with this Spot mess.
Y/N: I wouldn't call it a mess. It's more of a success in progress.
Jess: Ben, I need you...
I see a Spider leaning against the wall.
Ben: Sorry, I can't talk right now. I'm thinking about my past.
Jess: Actually, we need you here for some reason.
He groans.
Ben: That was a particularly harrowing memory.
Y/N: Is he okay?
I turn and see a horse in my face.
Y/N: Ah!
???: Hi. Name's Web-Slinger.
His horse licks my face.
Y/N: Why does your horse need a mask?
Web-Slinger: To conceal her face. Giddy up!
He shoot up into the air.
We go further and see people in cages.
Y/N: Who are in these laser cages.
Lyla appears.
Lyla: Anomalies. Folks who wound up in the wrong dimension.
Jess: We kick their butt's and send 'em home.
Gwen: They're not very interesting.
Lyla starts going through the villains they've caught from other dimensions.
Lyla: We got a Prowler.
Y/N: Prowler?
I put Lucky down.
Gwen: Not your Prowler.
I go over to the Prowler and he's a version of Harry.
Y/N: Hey.
He looks at me.
Harry: Hey. It's rude to stare.
Y/N: Sorry. You just look like someone I know.
Hobie: Caught that one myself.
Harry: I slipped.
Gwen: You? I did all the work. You...
Y/N: How many missions you guys been on together?
Gwen: Not that many...
Hobie: Couple dozen.
I shake my head and turn.
Y/N: Well, that's cool.
I then bump into someone and turn to see a girl there.
Y/N: Sorry.
Our spider senses bounce off each other.
Y/N: Hey, I'm Spider-Man.
???: Oh, no way. All of us are. Well, except me. I'm Margo Kess, but I go by Spider-Byte.
Y/N: I'm Y/N L/N.
Gwen walks past.
Gwen: Can we just keep moving.
She seems a little angry.
Margo zips away with her arm.
Y/N: Whoa, hold up.
I go over to her.
Y/N: Are you an Avatar?
Margo: That's right.
She zips around the room and lands infront of me.
Margo: My body's back in my dimension sitting in a game chair and eating.
I see her real body through a projection.
Margo: Here is better.
Y/N: Tell me about it.
I see a spider-like machine come out of the ceiling.
Y/N: What is that?
Hobie: Something with a great name.
Gwen: Go Home Machine.
Hobie: What'd I say?
Gwen: I voted against it.
Margo comes over.
Y/N: I'm guessing it scans your DNA to find out what dimension you're from and sends you there.
We see a Rhino variety get sent back to it's dimension.
Margo: That's right. Wow. You're cute and smart. That's a rare combination.
Y/N: Thanks.
Gwen: Let's go. We don't wanna keep the boss waiting.
She and Hobie walk away.
Y/N: So, I'll see you around?
Margo: Yeah. Good luck, man.
Hobie: Let's go, Cassnova!
I get yanked by Gwen.
Y/N: Whoa! Okay, bye.
Now, it's time to see Miguel.
(Five minutes later)
After grabbing an empanada, Hobie, Gwen and I go to see Miguel along with Lucky.
Hobie moves past me and pulls something out of the wall.
Hobie: Bet this doesn't even do anything.
Y/N: Maybe it did before you ripped it out of the wall.
Hobie: It's propaganda, bruv. To distract you from the truth.
Y/N: And what's that?
Hobie: I ain't got a Scooby Doo, mate. Cause that's what they want.
He and I walk along together.
Hobie: Why you wanna be apart of this lot?
Y/N: To get a watch.
Hobie: Build your own watch.
Y/N: I've tried. It didn't work.
Hobie: Bet you got a nice set-up, huh? Nice parents.
Y/N: Yeah, I do. It's just... it doesn't matter.
He slides in a chair and puts his feet.
Hobie: You're not ready for everyone else, you know?
I push his legs out of the way.
Hobie: The whole point of being Spider-Man is your independence. Be your own boss. You don't need all this.
Y/N: Then why are you here?
Hobie: Just lookin' out for my friends is all.
Y/N: Well, I wanna be apart of this. Be with my friends and I need a watch to do that.
Gwen: Let's go, guys.
Hobie: Alright. Squashed.
He leans in.
Hobie: (Whispers) Just don't enlist until you know what war you're fighting.
He, Gwen and I walk towards the command centre.
I have a bad feeling about this.
