Trying to be better

Y/N's POV:

A few months after the event with the collider in Miles' universe, I see myself doing my usual Spider-Man things. Chilling on the top of Empire State Building having an authentic New York City hot dog

I then get a call from mom

May: Hey sweetie, what are you doing?

Y/N: The usual. Saving people, saving cats stuck on trees and watching over the city. I actually visited them today. Brought them flowers.

May: I'm glad you did it. And I'm also glad you moved on.

Y/N: Well, someone very special I met some time ago told me that we should honor those who aren't with us anymore. I just miss them so much.

May: I know you do, sweetie. But Pete, Gwen and Ben wouldn't want you to be suffering over them. Instead, they'd want you to be doing what you do best. Being a hero. How's the whole fangs and claws situation, by the way?

Y/N: Oh, I'm controlling them now.

May: Good to know. 

I then hear sirens and my police scanner beeps

Y/N: Sorry mom. Gotta go to work.

May: Be careful.

I hang up the call and jump off the building  before activating my web wings and gliding with them

What do you got for me, New York?

Scanner: Attention. Car chase near Rockfeller Center. Suspects are armed and dangerous.

I swing as fast as I can to Rockfeller Center and see some thugs in a black SUV

After that, I thread the needle through a truck and they start shooting at me

I then land on the roof of the car and face a goon with a machine gun

Y/N: Hi, are you Jalen? Is this my Uber? Nevermind. Bye!

I tangle him with my web and he flies out of the car.

I then knock on the windshield and wave at the driver before kicking him out of the car

After all of that, the car loses control and flips, but I manage to catch it. Like I always do

After that, the cops arrive

Y/N: I'll let you guys take it from here.

Cop: I appreciate the help, Spider-Man.

After that, I swing around the city for a few hours doing Spider-Man stuff



When the night comes, I go back to my house in Queens

Mom said we're moving in some time from now, so some things are a mess there

Y/N: I'm home! Something smells amazing here.

I hear my mom calling my name from the kitchen

Y/N: I'm here...oh.

I see an old man standing next to mom

May: Y/N, this is John, the man I talked to you about. He's having dinner with us. John, this is Y/N, my son.

Y/N: Uh...nice to meet you.

Mom then puts dinner on the dining room table and there is an awkward silcence between us

John: So, as I was telling you before Y/N arrived, Jonah won two pulitzer prizes.

May: That's amazing.

I then realize who John is talking about.

Y/N: Excuse me, but is "Jonah" J. JONAH Jameson?

John: Yes.

Y/N: And why are we talking about him?

May: Y/N...John is JJJ's father.

I was drinking a glass of water and immediately spit after hearing this

Y/N: JJJ's father?!

John: Yes. I am John Jonah Jameson Sr. You didn't know that?

I keep my head down and just eat dinner without saying a word

The rest of the dinner was awkward. Pretty much just John and mom talked while I just said "yes" or "no"

I'll need to have a serious talk with my mom

Y/N: First of all. Why?

May: Why what?

Y/N: Why date the father of the only guy that hates my guts? I don't want to be Jameson's stepbrother.

May: You're being selfish, Y/N. Can't you be happy that I'm dating again?

I just sigh deeply

Y/N: I just...still miss him, you know? 

May: I know, sweetie. Just keep in mind that no one can replace Ben. John is...a good man.

Y/N: He better treat you right.

May: He will.

I go up to my room and lay down on my bed with my headphones and looking at some old pictures of my universe's Gwen and pictures of Spider-Woman Gwen, the one I met when I was sucked into Miles' universe

Frank Sinatra's It Had To Be You is playing in my headphones

Why do I do just as you say
Why must I just give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don't I try to forget
It must have been that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying I have to wait
I saw them all, just couldn't fall, 'til we met
It had to be you
It had to be you
I wandered around, and I finally found
The somebody who
Could make me be true
And could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad - thinking of you

After that, I get a call from an unknown number

Y/N: Hello?

?????: Hi stranger...long time no see. Have you been avoiding my calls in the last month?

Oh boy, I know this voice

?????: Can you come out to play? Or did I catch you past your bed time?

Y/N: It depends. Are you stealing stuff?

?????: Nope...I'm just back in town to see some friends.

Y/N: When and where, Felicia?

Felicia: MoMA. 30 minutes.

Why does Felicia want to see me?

I suit up and sneak out of the house after that
