NUEVA YORK, EARTH- 928.
━ chap 20. miguel's big secret !
WARNING : angst , feels

That was until she suddenly glitched badly again with a freaking body out, and a red web was shot at her back from above, making her scream in both pain and alarm as she was pulled upwards.

A small yell escaped (Y/N)'s parted mouth at the sudden forceful tug, and frantically tried to pull herself free from the webs around her waist. She fumbled around in the air, until her back slammed into a metal surface up above, making her groan in pain, and face plant on the floor roughly once she dropped.

"Ow, that's gonna leave a mark-" She groaned in a wince as she lifted her head up, placing a hand against her forehead to glance around the new environment, through one opened eye.

It looked to be a separate area from the down below bits on the ground floor, hidden away by many metal structures around, as the orange lighting lit up the best it could.

The sound of incoming heavy footsteps sounded through her ears, and then felt suited hands just brush up on her arms, which sent (Y/N) into defence mode straightaway, wondering who the heck this was.

She yelled out again to the attacker, and sent a kick to their leg above her head, as she sprang herself up by her arms to stand up, and rushed over to the groaning figure.

Aiming many punches and kicks at the figure with her knuckles, and legs, the person seemed to catch each one easily, the two of them moving in a sequences of attacks, and blocks all around the metal surface.

"W-wait! Roja, it's me-!" His words of protest went deaf to her ears, as he yelped in alarm and just narrowly missed a powerful kick to the head by her. He rolled off to the side on his knees, one of them bent and the other laid against the floor, "Listen to me-"

She tackled him in the middle of his words, the two of them yelling as they rolled onto the floor together in a heap, and she still didn't know who was underneath her, despite him exclaiming her name.

Heavy pants both escaped their mouths once the fight was done, as (Y/N) was now straddling him on his waist, legs on either side of it, and held one of her hands around his neck, "Are you done-"

Her eyes went wide in slight embarrassment when she realised who was in her choke hold, and heard his low pleasured groan in the back of his throat, as he had a hand around hers on his neck, "You idiot! Why would you do that-?!"

Scrambling off the male in a hurried way, she took many steps back away from him, and kept her defence position up, glancing around quickly to see if this was a trap or not he set up.

"Mierda, if I knew you do that to me," Miguel's familiar deep voice started talking, which was more raspy then normal as he slowly stood up, and held a hand around his red neck, a seductive smirk shown, "I could of done that sooner."

She felt her eye twitch in annoyance at his words, and stared at his figure a few meters away from her incredulously, "What is wrong with you?!" She exclaimed in disbelief, and marched up to him, "Now you want to act like this with me-"

He easily caught her fist in his palm when she went to aim a hit, and brought down her knuckle to his now bare face, "It's better this way," He mumbled with a warm kiss pressed against her skin, and his face shifted to a serious one now after this, "We need to talk, (Y/N)."

"Yeah, you don't say." She scoffed in a nose scrunch, and tugged her hand free from his, as she tilted her head up to meet his gaze that was towering over her, sneering, "Probably should of said that before a thousand Spider's chased my brother and me!"

He pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, and sighed heavily as his scarlet eyes were lidded now, "That wasn't supposed to happen, if you would of just listened!" His voice slightly rose in octave, needing to get his words across to his stubborn woman.

She went to mock him in a child's voice under her breath, rolling her eyes at his stupidity, and glanced off to the side. That was until Miguel's now bare hands roughly grabbed ahold of her jaw in between his thumb, and forefinger, to forcefully direct her eyes back to his.

A small whimper of pain mixed with arousal left her lips at this, her hand shooting up to grab ahold of his wrist in an attempt to break free, as her wide eyes stare up into his feral, raged gaze.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you." His tone was dangerous, and so low that she barely even heard it, as he leaned down to her height, making their noses just touch each others, their breaths mingling together, "¿Entendido, mami?"

(Y/N) gulped nervously knowing he meant his words, as she knew first hand to not disobey the Miguel O'hara. Despite her burning hatred for this male, the way he was looking at her right now, and the way his messy, curly hair was falling over his forehead, it didn't stop her stomach flipping with butterflies.

Breaking out of the trance they both were in inside the barely lit up area, she huffed out a puff of air that hit his lips, causing another low groan to break from free him.

She easily stepped back away from him at this, and crossed her arms over her suited chest, "Ok, I'm looking. Are you going to talk or not? Because remember, there's a so called 'chase' occurring right now."

His hand was paused in the air where he once held her, and slowly brought that down to his side, rolling his broad shoulders back to level himself, "Sí, you may wanna sit down for this, Roja." He warned in a gentle way, much different from before as he got himself metal prepared to tell her everything.

She narrowed her eyes down on him a little, and licked her bottom lip that his eyes followed closely at the movement, "Why? So you can trap me, and call the others?" She spat out with venom lacing her tone.

"You think I'd do that to you?" A pained look crossed his features hearing her words, as he whispered to himself sadly, and shook his head rapidly, "That's not what this is about, (Y/N). This is about you, us." He motioned between them with a finger, and began to walk up to stand in front of her again.

She shuffled in her spot with a conflicted expression, not knowing whether to trust him after everything that's happened so far, but she wanted answers, and she wanted them now, "Alright then, start talking bug-boy."

It took ever inch of his will power to not grin like a fool at the nickname, and now stood in front of her as he left a few spaces between them knowing that would be needed soon, "I'll start from the beginning after I left you back in your earth." His voice slightly wavered saying this, and cleared his throat to regain his steady voice back.

"After I left you completely I never felt such a loneliness before, it was like my heart had a hole in it or something." He began to tell her the truth he has been hiding from her for so long, a heavy frown creasing his brows, "I knew I couldn't keep watching you from the shadows to make sure you were alright, and safe. I so badly wanted to see you again, be with you, and I was about to head back to your universe... but something else came up that was the best gift anyone could of given me."

She watched in slight concern and curiosity as he made a hologram appear out of his watch, and she felt her stomach drop to her ass, eyes going wide seeing what was in that hologram photo.

Inside the orange glowing frozen picture was three figures in an embrace, as it seemed to be Miguel having his arm wrapped around a woman's waist, both of them staring down lovingly at a small girl inside the woman's arms. The entire photo screamed happiness, and life, but (Y/N) instantly knew who that woman was inside the photo, as she had very familiar (H/C) hair, just longer.

"I know what you're thinking sweet girl, and let me explain before your pretty little head thinks of something worse." His deep voice knocked her out of her deep thoughts, as he made kept the picture still up, and walked a few more steps up to her, "While I was looking through the multiverse for you, I came across a world, a earth where I was beyond happy. Where I had everything I wanted, and more."

She started to feel a bad feeling creep up on her Spider senses now, as she gripped her suits sleeves in nervousness, and shakily questioned confused, "W-what are you talking about-"

"Let me finish, (Y/N)." His scarlet eyes shot down to her quivering figure momentarily, before glancing back at the hologram above his wristband, "Sadly that version of me in that earth was killed, and therefore I knew that was my chance to step in. And because of that, I was granted a life I've always wanted with you."

Her breath hitched in her throat at the realisation of what he was saying, and stumbled back a few steps in dismay, and shock, "S-so you're telling me," She gulps harshly, and points a hesitant finger at the hologram of them in another earth, "you saw us together in another universe...?"

"Yes." He breathes out with a loving, put agonising smile down at the photo of them with the little girl, and went to reach out for it, but it faded from view like once before, "We have a life together, and we even have a-"

She raised her palm for him to stop talking as he did listen, as she chuckled dryly with a bitter look thrown at him, "So, this is what you've been hiding from me? That we had a life together, and a fricking kid Miguel!?" Her words got more aggressive by the end, and was now directly in front of him, a finger shoved into his chest.

"No, no, no! Listen to me-" He was quick to grasp her face in between his much larger hands, made sure his eyes were staring into her glassy ones, "Mi amor, I wanted to tell you as soon as I saw us together, but I couldn't, and I shouldn't even be now."

She shakes her head with a lost expression, and grasped both of his hands in hers against her face, "Don't do that, please. Please tell me, stop hiding stuff from me, Miguel." She whispered hopelessly, face scrunching up in pain when her Spider senses began to freak out rapidly.

"It's getting worse..." He mumbles to himself feeling her sudden twitch of pain, and his eyes shifted into a dreadful look, as he pulled back from holding her face, "You've been experiencing issues with your powers, and glitching? Feeling sharp pains out of nowhere, and weaker since you've left your earth?"

(Y/N)'s eyes narrowed down on him again suspiciously as she hadn't told him, or anyone about this yet, "Yes, I have." She answered quietly, and looked down at her wristband around her wrist, that was somewhat keeping her from glitching, "What aren't you telling me, Miguel?"

He exhaled shakily to prepare himself to expose the full truth to what he was doing, as he gently grabbed her elbows in a caress in his palms, "I didn't know about the consequences of breaking a canon event, not until now at least." He began in a trembling tone, fingers brushing up on her suit to level himself, "I messed up badly, (Y/N). Because of my selfish reasons of wanting happiness, I destroyed everything I loved and cared for."

She felt a tug at her heart spotting his tears in his eyes, the betrayal she feared finally beginning to take shape. His forehead went to bump against hers, and stays there as he continues on, "Along with our daughter, Gabriella-"

A choked up noise escaped his lips, mixing between a whimper and croak, as his nose gently presses into hers, "I lost you.. you both died in my arms, disappearing from existence like you were never there as I watched hopelessly, begging for something to be done."

"And now you suffer the consequences of my actions." He breathed out through a small sob, eyelashes fluttering open to show the deep agony, and guilt inside his eyes, "Every other version of you in any other universe is gone, because of me... the only one left still standing... is you, (Y/N)."

She entire body tensed up at the heavy reveal of all her problems, eyes staring dead ahead with no expression being shown which worried him immensely. Her mind was racing, trying to process the truth.

The person she loved had keep keeping a significant part of their life, her life course to himself. Feelings of hurt and betrayal swirled within her, but she also understood his reasonings to protect her. Nevertheless, it didn't make the revelation any less painful.

"And you didn't think that was worth sharing with me?" She asked in a higher pitched way, voice trembling with emotion as tears welled up, and pushed herself out of his hold, "You didn't think I deserve to know that-"

His face scrunched up in pain as his gaze slowly softened, and gently reached down to intertwine one of her hands with his tightly, both of them trembling in the hold, "You deserve everything, sweet girl, but not this, not someone like me." He whispered in a hoarse voice, as he bit down on his wobbly bottom lip, "You're slowly dying because of me, (Y/N). Every single earth you go to, will try to slowly to do, expect for your original one."

She gasped in deep horror at this, stumbling back away from him as she landed on a piece of metal layed on the floor, and cluncted at the sides of her head, "You're saying that y-you-" She couldn't even bring herself to say the words, as she felt sick to her stomach just thinking about it.

With a heavy heart Miguel knelt down in front of her, and gently brushed the back of his knuckles down her cheek tenderly, "I've caused you so much anguish, more then anyone should have to deal with." He breathed out through a painful smile, "So let me save you, (Y/N). You have to let me save you," He bowed his head down to lean it on her thigh, feeling his eyes stinging with tears, "I won't lose you for a second time, I can't... not now, not ever. Please don't fight me on this."

Feeling bitterness entering her emotions now, she looked at his kneeling figure before her with a malicious expression, "Yeah, well you should of said that before you came after me and my brother." She sneered through gritted teeth, and stood up to walk away, but of course he grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"I'm telling the truth, (Y/N)! I'm doing all this to save you, so you can get your happy ending that most don't!" He exclaimed loudly to get his point across, tugging her back toward him easily, as his fangs begin to poke up of his top lip, "If you would just listen-"

"That's all I ever do is listen to you, Miguel! I'm so sick of your ways-" She shoved him by the chest easily also, making him stumble back, and glared hatefully at the man she once loved more then anything, "You can't stop me from saving the only family I have left! I'd be darned if I let myself get killed before then."

He clenched his jaw at her stubbornness even after telling her the entire thing he was keeping from her, and slowly stands up from his knelt position, "I can't let you do that, pequeño roja." He rasped dangerously, and was followed by a voice crack, "I love you too much to let you die again."

She did almost cave in at his sudden emotion and confession, that did make her heart clench with the same feeling he had for her, but stood her ground knowing her family needed her.

"It's too late for that, Miguel." She looked over her shoulder to his upset figure, sending him a final bittersweet smile, full of love and pain, "I can't save everyone, but I sure as hell will try."

And with that (Y/N)'s arm outstretched out to shoot a web at a metal structure, and narrowly missed Miguel, who was trying to run at her, and grab her before she left the platform.

She tried to ignore his pleading yells for her to come back, feeling even more guilt lay on her shoulders now for leaving him there in his pity party. But, she needed to focus on getting home first with Miles, even if it caused her agony to let Miguel go, who she still loved dearly even through it all.

Blinking back the tears appearing in her eyes now, stifling a sob in her suited arm, and pushed through her aching heart to swing more across the metal beams, hoping to find Miles as she needed him now more then ever.

Just when (Y/N)'s suited feet go to touch the edge of a metal pole up above the underground city, she was once again tugged up by a web attached to her back, causing her to yell out in alarm.

"Oh, c'mon. Again, seriously?!" She exclaimed annoyed as she landed on a smaller, and longer platform with a groan, flipping up onto her sore back, "What's with everyone pulling me up like this, first O'hara, and now-"

She sat up quickly spotting who was standing in front of her, sighing in relief when Miles came rushing up to her, and gave her a tight hug. He helped her up carefully, and Peter came out from behind a pillar with Mayday, the one who tugged both siblings up to him for a talk.

"I'm guessing you saw Miguel, which is both great and terrible." Peter mumbled to himself a little bit, but the siblings still heard, and it caused Miles to send his sister a worried look that she brushed off with a smile.

"Let's go, Miles." (Y/N) spoke gently to her younger brother, pulling on his forearm as she shot Peter a look over her shoulder, and the siblings go to walk down the metal path leading to something other then here.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Peter rushed after them quickly, trying his best to keep up with their fast pace, and motioned to Mayday on his chest in her carrier, "Do you wanna hold my baby?" He appeared beside them, startling the duo as he held up the child, "Would you just give the baby one squeeze, and then we'll talk? Cuz I think it's gonna change our vibe."

Mayday was trying to reach out for (Y/N)'s scarlet and (H/C) hair with her hands, wanting to play with it again, as Miles rolled his eyes at Peter, "No!" He denied, following behind his sister away from the other adult.

"It's very rejuvenating!"

"We're plenty juvenated!"

"You'll get moreso when you go chest to chest with this magical child!" Peter declared confidently at the two from behind them, and raised his baby up in the air.

Miles helped his sister over a beam of metal on the ground, and glared a little bit back at the male, exclaiming, "You don't get to have heartfelt conversation with us right now!"

Peter now appeared down in front of them off the ceiling, and landed with a thump against the metal surface, "Just hold the baby, we'll see what happens!"

He shoved Mayday in their faces which caused (Y/N) to yelp surprised, and dodge them both with Miles pulling her along again, by the forearm. Mayday squeal hearing the noise, and tried to copy the sound with a giggle, warming her fathers heart.

"You guys are the reason I had her, okay?!" Peter suddenly shouted, staying in the doorway of another room the siblings walked into, as he saw how (Y/N) somewhat paused at his words, "I thought... that If I did a decent job raising her, then there was a chance she was gonna turn out like you two."

(Y/N) knelt down at the edge of the pathway they were on, trying to glance around for an exit out of the core room, as Miles was standing up next to her, also looking.

"And that got me excited, because you two are wonderful people!" Peter continued to exclaim strongly, entire hand gesturing to them in emphasis from behind, as they slightly look at them from their shoulders, "And I like being around you guys!"

Miles now joined his sister on kneeling on the floor, placing a hand on her back in comfort, and sighed heavily, "Then why didn't you come see us?"

Peter opened his mouth to say something but paused knowing who was listening, and furrowed his brows together, "I couldn't."

"You couldn't, or was it just Miguel's doing?" (Y/N) fully faced her father figure with a hurtful expression, and gripped her suits material in between her fingers, quivering, "We wanted to be with you guy so badly. But this thing isn't what I thought it was."

"Look..." He sighed gently, as he went to walk over to the two on the metal grate in the floor, "bad things are gonna happen. It makes us who we are." He squatted down beside the girl, and placed a hand on her shoulder, "But good things happen too, you know?"

Peter tucked some of her loose locks behind her ear in a fatherly way, before looking between the duo softly, "Like you two happened." He then looked down to Mayday, who was giggling happily and held onto (Y/N)'s arm, "Like she happened."

"Wow! Hey, uh-" (Y/N) tried to protest when Mayday crawled up her arm in a fit of giggles again, and went to tug on her hair cooing, but she quickly grabbed the baby in her arms like an airplane. She tried to keep her tears at bay remembering her last interaction with Miguel, and her thoughts drift back to their child in another universe, that was now no longer living, but instead gone forever.

Peter cackled a bit amused watching the brother and sister hold his child in between them now, "You are so bad at holding a baby!" He laughed out, placing hands on their shoulders to enjoy the moment while it lasted.

"We got your location, Peter. Inside the core." Lyla's voice was heard from his watch on his wrist, making the siblings freeze in their places hearing the voice, feeling so dumb for falling for his trick.

"Wait, wait, wait, no! No, no!" Peter tried to gaslight the AI frantically, as he brought up the watch to above his mouth to speak into it, "You do not have my location! Over!"

(Y/N) handed back Mayday, who wouldn't let go of her suit, and whimpered for the girl with grabby hands, but the Morales girl wasn't paying attention to the baby anymore. She backed away slowly, keeping Miles close behind her, as she suddenly realised this is what Miguel could of done to her also, but didn't know that he jammed all communications to hide her from them, while they talked.

"Send everyone." Miguel's familiar deep voice was now heard over the watch, and this sent her into high alert, hearing how mad he was now, much different from before.

"No, no! Look- Red, Miles- I didn't know! I promise you!" Peter ranted out to defend himself, seeing the duo backing up away from him to flee, and their betrayal looks, "Please, guys, let's talk about this."

(Y/N) spotted the incoming helicopter lights nearing their location, as she easily caught Peters wrist in her hand when he tried to grab hers, "We did." She whispered, aiming a web at his ankles and pulled his figure up to hang upside off the ceiling, trapping the adult.

"Good talk." Peter grumbled from upside down, placing a hand behind his head as Mayday squeal when they swing back and forth a little.

The siblings both share a fist-pump between each other, and quickly bend down to lift up a piece of the metal, groaning at the weight, as they create a makeshift exist to get away.

(Y/N) flipped off the metal grates once it was fully off, not seeing how her hair changed more to scarlet at using her super strength, but Peter did which worried him grateful. She heard the incoming Spiders running their way, and shared a nod with Miles before in snyc, leap down into the hole.

She crossed her arms over her chest to keep them locked in, as warm air washes over her falling through the heated area downwards, successfully slipping through the holes in the machinery, that the other Spider-lings couldn't manage.

An explosion being thrown at them from behind causes the siblings to fumble out of their holds, and fly through the air with yells of panic. (Y/N) latched into her brothers arm across from her, webbing at a building the second they crashed out of the tunnel they were in, glass flying everywhere from the crash.

"Where do you think they are going?" Gwen questioned in frantic breathing to Peter, as she was swinging after the duo with him now.

"You know how Red is, I don't think she's planned this out." Peter answered knowingly back, as they swing off the same pole towards where the siblings went, which was one of the highways.

Jessica appeared on her bike driving along the same road, as she turns her head up to Peter webbing beside her with Gwen, "If I hadn't said it before, by the way, you're a terrible mentor."

Gwen perched herself on the side of a bus, aiming a web at Jess' bike, and she pulls the vehicle forward with great speed to up front more, heading for (Y/N) who was running in between some cars on the road.

Just as the motorbike thundered towards her, (Y/N)'s Spider senses and reflexes kicked into overdrive. She tapped into her arachnid instincts, leaping herself up into the air, and back jumped over Jessica's bike, body moving with a fluid grace.

The vehicle passed beneath her, a blur of metal and glass as she landed on the back of another vehicle with a gently thud, feet finding a secure hold on the smooth surface. In between this stunt, she had shot two webs at Jessica's bike, and pulled herself forward at top speed to kick away the vehicle.

Jess didn't have time to act when (Y/N) jumped over her again, and was replaced by Miles who quickly webbed Jess against a bus, trapping her in a hold with her hands being stuck also, unable to do anything now.

"They did just beat you!" Peter called out a little smugly to the woman, as he was perched on an incoming car passing where she was trapped, "So I'm not a terrible mentor!"

"You're both equally terrible. Does that settle it?" Miguel's figure was back again now, him running across the cars past the adults behind him, and jumped to where the siblings were easily.

(Y/N) shrieked in alarm when he went to swipe at them with his claws, and pulled Miles behind her to protect him from the angry male in front of them, as they begin to walk backwards.

"Stop pretending you know what you're doing!" He shouted aggressively to them both, going to tackle (Y/N) to the roof, but she just kicked him away quicker, causing him to fall to his knees, growling, "Let me save you, Red!"

"I don't need that right now!" She yelled back in a panicking way, when the train they were on started to go upwards, making them all stumble to the metal floor a little, "And we do have a plan! Just haven't told you yet!"

Miguel released a feral noise hearing her response, as his one thought right now was to capture (Y/N) whether she liked it or not, all thanks to his Spider DNA messing with his strong emotions for her.

Miles shot a few webs at the male below them now, aiming at his hands where his claws were, and face to hopefully blind him, getting back at the male who caused his older sister so much misery. He pushed (Y/N) to run off first, but the girl yelled at him for to go first, and did reluctantly.

They both leapt of the train into another piece inside the highway tunnel, just as Miguel followed after them once he was free from the webs. The siblings tried to kick him away, but Miguel accidently grabbed onto (Y/N)'s wrist, which tugged down the AI wristband, both him and that falling back down away from them.

She instantly glitched painful at this, entire body freaking out as she cried out when her hand slipped off the metal, and was now falling back down also off the train.

No, no, no, no! Miguel was frantically shouting in his mind watching the love of his life fall, as he desperately tried to scramble back up to grab her, but was pushed back down by the annoying force of gravity.

Just before her body was going to get most likely trapped in between the cars, Miles' hand latched onto his sister arms, catching both of them on his web stuck to the side of the train.

"It's okay, it's okay! I got you, (N/N)!" He yelled reassuringly over the loud rustling of wind, as they fumbled in the air for a few seconds, until his grip tightened on them both, "I got us!"
