News Anchor: We interrupt this broadcast for a special report. Sad news tonight...

https://youtu.be/zVlFkFmk_NM

News Anchor: The hero known as Spider-Man has died after injuries related to another powerful earthquake in Brooklyn.

Wayne was just walking in the streets of Brooklyn when he sees several people look shocked as they look at their phones, obviously seeing the news.

News Anchor: Multiple sources are confirming that Peter Parker, a 26-year-old grad student and part-time photographer, operated as Spider-Man for at least a decade.

Wayne had opened the door to his apartment and sees Aiden on the couch of the living room watching the news. Aiden looked away from the TV and saw Wayne, who looked just as distraught as he was.

Aiden got up as Wayne ran to him and hugged him tightly, sobbing into his shoulder in the process. Aiden rubbed Wayne's back while holding back tears of his own.

News Anchor: He is survived by his wife, Mary Jane, and his aunt, May Parker...Our hero, Spider-Man, is gone.

The next morning

Wayne had gone to Stan's Collectables to buy some Spider-Man clothing for the funeral service. He stopped at a rack when he saw a red hoodie. He took it out of the rack and saw that the hoodie had a large black spider on the front, so Wayne decided to take it.

Wayne was about to walk to the cashier when he saw a Spider-Man mask that would cover the lower half of his face. Wayne decided to take that as well.

Wayne then went to the cashier and placed the hoodie and mask on the counter.

Stan: I'm going to miss him.

Wayne: (sighs) Me too.

Stan: We were friends, you know.

Wayne smiled softly as Stan typed into the cashier.

Wayne: It's crazy how one man can make that big a difference, huh?

Stan: I wouldn't say "crazy," I'd call it...spectacular.

Wayne smiled as he paid for the hoodie and mask. He then went to the bathroom and locked the door.

Wayne put the hoodie over his shirt, then put the mask over his nose and mouth. He then put the hood over his head to complete the look as he looked into the mirror.

Timeskip

Wayne had arrived at the church, where at least half of the city stood in front of. Wayne looked at the entrance and saw Mary Jane Parker standing on the podium, while May Parker stood behind her.

Mary Jane: My husband, Peter Parker, was an ordinary person. He always said it could've been anyone behind the mask. He was just the kid who happened to get bit.

Wayne sighed as the ringing came back. He looked behind him and saw a Black kid around his age wearing a Spider-Man Halloween mask. Almost immediately, Wayne recognized him as Miles behind that cheap mask.

Miles then looked at Wayne, and his eyes widened for a split second before softening. Wayne nodded toward him, and Miles nodded back.

Mary Jane: My favorite thing about Peter is that he made us each feel powerful. We all have powers of one kind or another. But in our own way...we are all Spider-Man. And we're all counting on you.

(A/N: Stop the music)

Timeskip

In the evening, Wayne (still wearing his hoodie and mask) sat on the edge of a rooftop, still trying to process the fact that Spider-Man is gone. It felt like a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from, but unfortunately for himself and almost everyone in New York, it wasn't a nightmare at all. It was actually real.

Wayne took out his phone and texted Miles, with whom he had exchanged phone numbers after the funeral, and sent him a text.

Wayne
U good?

Wayne only had to wait a few seconds before receiving a text from Miles.

Miles
Yeah
Still doesn't feel real, y'know?

Wayne
Yeah, I know
U still got the override key?

This time, it took longer for Miles to respond, as three dots appeared on the screen. It took a minute for Miles to answer.

Miles
Yea
Still got it

Wayne nodded as he opened the picture app and opened a picture he had for years. It was a picture of himself when he was 9 years old. He was smiling widely as his parents, Charlie and Bailey, sat on either side of him, smiling as well. They were wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and had a Christmas tree in the background.

Wayne smiled softly as he saw the picture, but then he shed a tear when he remembered that this was the last Christmas he celebrated with his parents since they had died 2 months later.

Suddenly, the ringing came back to Wayne's head. He got up and turned around and saw that it was the girl that saved him last night. She still wore her red and black suit and red half-mask.

This time, Wayne could see that she had black hair and brown eyes.

Girl: You okay, man?

Wayne: (sighs) I've been better.

The girl's eyes widened slightly, but she recovered quickly as Wayne removed his hood and mask.

Wayne: I, uh...I never got to thank you for last night...when you pulled those muggers away.

Girl: (in a deep voice) Oh, uh...No need to thank me, kid. I was in the neighborhood and saw that you could use a hand.

While the girl was talking, Wayne looked confused as to why she was deepening her voice all of a sudden. Feeling that the girl seemed familiar, he squints his eyes and took a closer look at the girl.

Girl: (in a deep voice) W-What are you doing?

Wayne looked deep into the girl's eyes, and after a few seconds, recognized her as...

Wayne: Cindy?

The girl widened her eyes.

Cindy: (in a deep voice) W-What?

Wayne: (shocked) CINDY?!

Cindy dropped her head as Wayne started pacing.

Wayne: Oh, my...Oh, my God. You gotta be kidding me! Cindy?!

Cindy: (in her normal voice) How did you know it was me?

Wayne: What do you mean "How'd I know it was you?!" Did you seriously think I wouldn't recognize you just because I can't see your mouth?!

Cindy raised her hand as if to point at Wayne, but dropped it immediately.

Wayne: That's how you knew how to get me to unstick. You're like me.

Cindy nods before lowering her mask, revealing her face to Wayne.

Cindy: Yeah, you could say that.

Wayne: How come nobody's ever heard of you?

Cindy: Because, uh...I'm from another dimension.

Wayne widens his eyes so much, it looks like his eyes would pop out of their sockets.

Cindy: Um...You might wanna sit down.

--------------------

Cindy: (voiceover) Okay, let's do this one last time...

Scene shows a comic book landing on top of a pile of comics.

Cindy: (voiceover) My name is Cindy Moon. I was bitten by a radioactive spider. And for the last year and 8 months, I've been the one and only...Silk. I think you guys already know the rest.

Scene shows Cindy locked up in a bunker.

Cindy: (voiceover) I got locked up in a bunker for a good 7 years because a psychotic vampire was tracking me.

The bunker door opened, and Cindy saw Spider-Man enter the bunker.

Cindy: (voiceover) Until Spider-Man found me and told me that Morlun is dead. He helped me get settled, and I helped him beat Electro and Black Cat.

Scene shows a machine going haywire, and Cindy (in her web-made suit) saving civilians. Unfortunately, the machine exploded, and Spider-Man was caught in the blast.

Cindy: (voiceover) But I, uh...couldn't save him when it mattered most.

Cindy is seen running towards Spider-Man's body and putting her ear to his mouth. Once she realized that he wasn't breathing, Cindy started crying while cradling his body.

Scene changes to Cindy (in her updated Silk suit) fighting foes like Sandman, Mister Negative, and Doc Ock

Cindy: (voiceover) After that, I decided that I should honor him by being what he was: A hero.

Scene then changes to Cindy landing on a wall and sticking to it. She started crawling when a portal appeared underneath her left foot.

Cindy: (voiceover) I was just swinging around when this weird thing happened. And I mean very weird.

Suddenly, Cindy was starting to get pulled into the portal. Cindy shot out a web from her finger and tried to pull herself out, but the web snapped, forcing her to get sucked into the portal.

Cindy: 오, 젠장! [OH, CRAP!]

Scene shows the outside of  Fisk Tower right when the collider exploded. Cindy was seen flying through the city until he caught a lamppost. She spun around a few times, then let go, flinging herself onto a roof of a building in Times Square. Cindy got up and looked around and saw the billboards and screens being different from the ones in her dimension.

Cindy: I ended up in New York, but not my New York. Not only that, I was flung into last week.

Scene changes to Cindy in a Visions Academy Uniform. She had felt someone bump into her, so she turned around and saw Wayne, who was sweating profusely.

Cindy: My Silk Sense told me to go to Visions Academy.

Scene skips to after Cindy manages to get Wayne to unstick his hand from her sweater. She was walking away when her Silk Sense went off, which prompted her to turn around and see Wayne walking back towards his dorm.

Cindy: Wasn't actually sure why until I saw you.

--------------------

Wayne: Silk Sense?

Cindy: It's basically my version of the Spider-Sense. Y'know, the ringing you hear in your head?

Wayne nods.

Cindy: It's basically your preemptive warning system. It alerts you of danger right before it happens. My Silk Sense is much more advanced, but it's very unreliable. Sometimes it goes off when there's no immediate danger, sometimes it doesn't go off when there is. It's a big pain in the ass, to be honest.

Wayne chuckles in response, then he asks Cindy...

Wayne: So...what are you planning to do now?

Cindy: There's someone else who ended up here as well, as far as I know. We're headed to Alcehmax in the morning, see if we can-A҉҉̦̣̤͔̟̩̋̿̏ͦ̈́̍͟͠R̴҉̷̨̖̮̉͑ͯ̑̋͟͠G̸҉̜̜̱̄ͩ͆͜͝͞H̴̶̵҉̨̡̛̼͎̫͓̒́̔ͩ͜͟͠͞͞!

Suddenly, Cindy started glitching, falling to her knees in the process.

Wayne: CINDY!

He immediately knelt down and held Cindy's shoulders just as she stopped glitching.

Wayne: You okay?

Cindy: (breathing heavily) Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

Wayne: What was that?

Cindy: I...I guess my body isn't too happy with being stuck in another dimension.

Cindy chuckles, but Wayne didn't, since he was more concerned about Cindy's well-being at the moment.

Wayne helped Cindy up to her feet.

Wayne: You sure you're okay?

Cindy: Yeah, I'll be fine. You?

Wayne: Yeah.

Cindy: I should get going.

She walked to the ledge, then turned her head towards Wayne.

Cindy: See you around, Wayne.

She drops off the ledge. Wayne then walked over to the ledge and sees Cindy swinging away.

Wayne: Cool.

Just then, Wayne's phone vibrated. He took it out and saw that he got a text from Miles, as well as an address.

Miles
MEET ME HERE ASAP!

Timeskip

Wayne walked over to the address Miles sent him, which led him to an apartment building. All of the lights were turned off except for one apartment on one of the top floors.

Wayne then went up the fire escape until he reached the lit-up apartment. He looked through the window and saw Miles, still in his cheap Spider-Man costume, and a man tied to a punching bag with lots of rope and chains.

Wayne knocked on the window, which got Miles's attention. Miles then walked to the window and opened it, allowing Wayne inside.

Wayne: I got your text. What's going on?

Miles points at the unconscious tied-up man, and Wayne immediately recognizes him as Peter Parker, but there were a few minor differences.

1) He was fat.
2) He was old.
3) He was brown hair and brown eyes.
4) He was wearing a trench coat, sweatpants, and two different shoes along with his Spider-Man suit.

Wayne thought it was weird at first, but then he remembered Cindy saying she was from another dimension. It was likely that the man was the same.

Wayne: Wow. Okay. What about the override key? Do you still have it?

Miles: Uhh...Yeah...About that...

Wayne: (skeptical) Miles...

Miles: Nonono, I still have it. (scratches the back of his neck) It's just, uhh...

Wayne raises his eyebrows as he puts his hand out to Miles with his palm facing upwards. Miles sighs and drops his head as he takes the override key from his pocket and hands it to Wayne.

But there was a slight problem...

Wayne: YOU BROKE IT?!

Miles: (whisper-shouts) Shh! Keep it down!

Wayne: (whisper-shouts) Don't "shh" me! That thing is the only thing that could save the world, and you broke it! How the hell did that even happen, anyway?

Miles explains that after the funeral, he tried to jump from one rooftop to another one across the street, but he tripped on his own untied shoelaces. This caused him to fail the jump and land harshly on the ground, crushing the key.

Wayne: (facepalms) This can't be happening...

Miles: Look, we'll figure something out.

Wayne was about to respond, but the man began stirring awake. Miles put on his mask, while Wayne put on his own mask and hood as the man woke up. He looked at Miles and Wayne for a few seconds before speaking.

Man: (chuckles) You're both like me.

Miles: (in a deep voice) We got some questions.

The man started attempting to break his bonds, but couldn't do so, only ending up spinning around as Miles and Wayne took off their masks

Wayne: For one, why do you look like Peter Parker?

The man turned himself around to face the teenagers using his feet.

Peter: Because I am Peter Parker.

He started slowly spinning around.

Miles: Then why aren't you dead? And why is your hair different? Why are you older? And why is your body...a different shape?

Peter: Pretty sure you just called me fat.

Miles: No. No, it's just...

Peter turns himself around but ends up spinning the other way.

Peter: Listen, You two don't look so hot either. Most superheroes don't wear their own merch.

Miles and Wayne glance down at their outfits, then Miles started walking around Peter.

Miles: Are you a ghost?

Peter: No.

Miles: Are you a zombie?

Peter: Stop it.

Miles: Am I a zombie?

Peter: You're not even close.

Miles: Are you from another dimension? Like a parallel universe where things are like this universe but different? And you're Spider-Man in that universe? But somehow traveled to this universe, but you don't know how?

Peter: (surprised) Wow. That was really just a guess?

Miles: Well, we learned about it in Physics.

Wayne & Peter: Quantum theory.

Peter looked at Wayne in surprise.

Miles: This is amazing! You could teach us just like Peter said he would.

Peter: Before he died.

Miles: Yeah, exactly.

Peter: (scoffs) Yeah, right.

Based on his tone, Miles and Wayne could tell that Peter was not willing to do what they were asking him.

Wayne: Look, we made a promise to him.

Peter: Here's lesson number 1, kids: Don't watch the mouth. Watch the hands.

Suddenly, all the binds fell off of Peter as he kicked the punching bag, making it hit Miles so hard, he flew to the door. He then kicked the bag at Wayne, flinging him over the TV and onto the floor.

Once they recovered, they saw Peter dust himself off as he walks to the window.

Miles: Peter, seriously...

Peter shot a web at Miles's mouth, then did the same with Wayne. He then climbed out of the window, then stopped while Miles and Wayne tried to remove the webbing from their mouths.

Peter: (sighs) Trust me, kids. This'll all make you better Spider-Men.

He climbed on the railing of the fire escape and shot a web at a building, but then he suddenly glitched and fell. Miles and Wayne, after removing the webbing, rushed out of the window and saw Peter on a lower level of the fire escape, lying down while groaning.

Wayne: You good?

Peter: No, I'm not.

Miles: What's doing on with your body?

Peter: I don't think my atoms are real jazzed about being in the wrong dimension.

He glitched again, just like how Wayne saw Cindy glitch earlier. Peter groaned as he got up and leaned on the railing.

Peter: Look, I'm not looking for a side gig as a Spider-Man coach. I got a lot going on in my dimension. Like, a lot.

Miles: "With great power, comes great..."

Peter: (points at Miles) Don't you dare finish that sentence. Don't do it! (points at Wayne) Neither of you. I'm sick of it.

He jumped over the railing but glitched again, causing him to fall until he grabbed the edge of the fire escape.

Peter: Want my advice? Go back to being regular kids.

Wayne: We don't have a choice! Kingpin's got himself a supercollider, and he's trying to kill us!

Peter: What did you just say?

Wayne: Kingpin's trying to kill us.

Peter walked up the wall to approach the teens.

Peter: (scoffs) Who cares about that? Where's the collider?

Miles: Brooklyn. Under Fisk Tower.

Peter: (turns around and walks away) Goodbye.

Miles: Where you going?

Peter: When it runs again, I'll just jump in and get back to my life.

Wayne: You can't let them run it. We're supposed to destroy it so that it never runs again, or everyone's gonna die.

Wayne and Miles climbed over the railing and stuck to the wall while following Peter. While Wayne got the hang of sticking, Miles occasionally slipped.

Peter: "Or everyone's gonna die." That is what they always say. But there's always a little bit of time before everybody dies, (lands on a car roof) and that's when I do my best work.

Miles: (takes out the override key) Aren't you gonna need this?

Peter: Aw, you have a goober. (puts his hand out) Give it.

Miles: Wait, no. Not so fast. He called it an override key.

Peter: There's always a bypass key, a virus key, a who-cares key. I can never remember, so I always call it a goober. Give it.

Miles: We need that to destroy the collider.

Peter: I need to go home.

Miles decides to put the goober in his mouth.

Miles: (muffled) I'll swallow it. Don't play with me.

Peter: What?

Miles: (muffled) I said-

Peter web the goober and pulls it out of Miles's mouth before jumping onto a wall of another and walking up it.

Miles: Hey!

Peter: The collider opened a portal that brought me here. And I have to get.

He looks at the goober and sees that's broken.

Peter: Did you break this?

Miles: No, it...broke. I don't remember what happened.

Peter facepalms.

Wayne: (to Peter) Don't lump me in with him. He broke it himself.

Miles: Wayne!

Wayne: What?! You did!

Peter: (mutters) See, this is why I never had kids. This is why I never had kids.

Miles: (to Peter) Can't we make another one?

Peter: No, we can't do anything. Thanks to you and your friend here...

Wayne: (throws his arms out) Hey!

Peter: I have to re-steal what your guy stole from Alchemax and make another one of these.

He tosses the broken goober away, but Wayne lept to catch it and landed on the other building, and Miles shortly followed.

Wayne: Listen. If we don't shut down the collider after you leave, everyone in this city, my uncle, Miles's family, and millions of others will die. And you're just gonna go back home and act like you don't care, make us figure it out on our own? You're okay with that, Spider-Man?

Peter: Yeah.

He reached the top of the building and landed on the rooftop.

Wayne: (scoffs) Fine! Have it your way! Come on, Miles. We can work it out without this washed-up hobo.

He started walking down the side of the building but noticed that Miles wasn't following him. He looked back and saw Miles sitting with his head down. Peter then peeked over and saw what Miles is doing.

Peter: What are you doing?

Miles: Making you feel guilty. Is it working?

Peter: How could it...? No. (scoffs) Look at me. Does it look like it's working? No. No, it's not...

He chuckles, pretending that Miles isn't getting through to him. He then put his mouth on his elbow and started yelling.

Peter: (muffled) AAH! No! No! No! Do not let him win!

Miles got up as Peter looked back at him.

Peter: Alright, kid. You win.

Miles looked back at Wayne with a smug grin on his face, and Wayne just rolled his eyes.

Peter: Come on, we don't have a second to lose.

Miles and Wayne walked up the building to catch up with Peter.
