Brooklyn, Earth-1610.
━ chap 10. echoes of voices !

Minutes, days, weeks, and months went by since Miguel O'hara's sudden disappearance from (Y/N)'s life. And everyday since that dreadful morning waking up to find, nor see him inside her apartment, she's counted ever since. There was a hole in her heart, and she knew what that cause was.

The sun gradually emegerd from its slumber, casting a golden hue across Brooklyn's skyline. The city stirred to life, with the morning light coaxing its inhabitants awake. As the first rays filtered through the towering buildings, they danced upon the gritty sidewalks, creating a symphony of shadows and reflections.

Inside a very familiar small but cozy apartment, (Y/N) was already up in her bed, surrounded in her sheets as she hadn't got a wink of sleep, like normal for her.

Elvis was curled up beside her actually sleeping, and purring away in content, very aware of how his owner was awake, and doing something that made her hurting heart worse.

Sat in her crossed lap on the bed, was the journal book she used to draw, and take down notes about her powers or anything she wanted to get off her chest.

(Y/N) had a drawing pencil tapping against the book's edge, as she flicked through the pages with her other one, and was going over all the stuff she recently wrote about her ever involving DNA and Spider powers.

The next page she flicked to made her movments pause, and breath hitch painfully in her throat. A hand drawn picture of a smiling Miguel was on the paper, looking the same as he always did when he was living in her universe.

Her face scrunched up with emotion, as she bite down on her bottom lip, and slammed the book shut with both hands. Without thinking, she threw it toward the other end of her room along with her pencil.

(Y/N) looked down at her lap with heavy breathing, and ran her fingers through her messy locks, "I hate him, I hate him so much for leaving-" She blabbered out a rant, and shook her head at herself. She was mostly upset at the fact he upped and left without a single goodbye, or a simple thank you.

It also bothered her how she could still feel, sense his presence around her all the time. And despised how he still made her all different emotions, she's never had the chance to experience before.

Elvis woke up with a loud yaw, and stretched his body out by her side as he heard his owner was awake now by the talking. He stood up on his hind legs, and tilted his head at her, meowing sadly at her state.

She looked up at his moewed, and saw him staring at her with his blue eyes. She smiled halfheartedly at Elvis, and raised a hand to place against his head, "It's alright, bud. You miss him too, don't you?" Mumbling the last bit, knowing her cat definitely knew Miguel was gone from their life.

The cat just purred gently in response, and bumped his head up into hand, rubbing himself against it. He made his way across her, and jumped off the bed to trot towards where his water was, leaving (Y/N) with her thoughts.

Standing up from the not made bed with a trembling sigh, she dragged herself toward her bathroom to freshen up before going out today. She flicked the light switch on, and walked up to her decent sized mirror to glaze at her reflection.

The room was filled with a soft, diffused light, casting a gentle glow around her face. Yet, despite the serene ambiance, a storm brewed within her.

She still had not clue, no idea, and no answers to explain why she was glitching at random times. And probably would never find them now because of the fact Miguel was no longer here, with her. It somewhat made her blood boil at the fact, that she now had to experience this weird freak out inside her own universe, when it was only supposed to happen if you're in another one. 

And it didn't get any better either. It only get worse for her, and her body itself. Everytime she would want to swing and play hero, the glitching would come back and effect the current susiation she would be in.

(Y/N)'s hair framed over her face, as she tilted her head down and gripped the edges of the sinks tightly with her super-strength, "All this could of been prevented, if he just stayed.." She gritted out through her teeth, and went to look back up into the mirror.

A wave of unease washed over as her Spider sense started going crazy, and she soon found out when the glitching came back. Her body quivered and she fell to her knees onto the tile floor, groaning out in discomfort.

One arm was wrapped around her stomach to grip her shirt, while the other was tangled in her hair, as her head was spinning while the glitching soon stopped after a few more seconds.

"Ouch.. I really answers now-" She gasped out through heavy pants for air, and placed her palms against the bathroom floor to calm herself down.

Pushing her hair locks behind her ears, (Y/N) goes to lift herself up by pulling on the sink, and goes to splash some water in her face gently. Wiping that off with the towel, and just before she went to leave the bathroom, something tickled her Spider senses.

Whispers, like gentle zephyrs started to fill the silence through her ears. At first, they were distant, barely audible, but they grew louder with each passing second. The voices were soft, indistinct as if a chorus of ghosts speaking in hushed tones.

Her breath quickened once more as the whispers began to form words, distinct and sharp. Her legs stayed frozen in fear, no matter how hard she wanted to move, almost like whatever this was wanted her to hear the whispers.

'I have something important to protect. And too accomplish that goal, I will fight even if I have to turn everyone against me!'

'I trusted you! Everything you said, us-'

'You can't save everyone, Red Venom..'

(Y/N) cluncted her temple, trying to block out the overflowing voices in her ears, feeling the weight of their words pressing against her. Her pupils were getting smaller, and smaller with a red hue surrounding them, as she took in the words she was hearing.

Her body was jolted forward by her body suddenly glitching again as the voices also came to a stop. she went topping over to land upside down against the back of her bed.

"This is really not good-" She groaned out, and carefully flipped herself the right way up to land onto the carpet, and clutched her dizzy head, "What the heck is happening to me?"

Elvis came running back into the room at the loud noise her body made, and meowed worriedly seeing his owner holding her head. He went up to her, and rubbed his sides over her legs to offer comfort.

(Y/N) swallowed down her nervousness, and run her hands down her face with a tried sigh, "Something is happening to me, El. And I don't know what." She confessed quietly to her cat, and glanced back at her fingertips to see some web on them.

Grimacing with a sharp pain in her head, she swiped the web away onto her pants, and made her way into her living room to hopefully eat without glitching.

A sense of sudden déjà vu hits her being inside this room, as it felt like it was just yesterday she was dancing with the guy of her dreams, and now was left in the dark because of him.

There had been no goodbye, no explanation just as sudden void in her life now. She understood he didn't truly belong with her in this universe, but surely would of appreciated a warning before the up and go. Because now, the days since his departure had been tortuous, filled with unanswered questions, a gnawing ache in her chest, and now strange things were happening to her.

(Y/N) wanted to go over to Miles today, and that was her plan from this morning, but now she didn't want her little brother to see her in this state. And if those voices came back, she didn't want him to witness her dealing with it either.

As she glanced over the main room, she noticed the remnants of their time together, however they weren't visible, only one was that she still had. The coffee mugs they had shared on lazy Sunday mornings, that lead to him getting teased by her. One of the dining table chairs having some drops of pink paint, from the time he wanted to playfully mess up her drawings. Or the hairband he would wear around his wrist for her that now was left on kitchen bench.

Another thing she automatically realised waking up the day he left, was that Miguel had taken the bracelet she made for him. It made her both happy, and angry at the same time, and honestly didn't know how to feel about it.

(Y/N)'s glossy eyes caught onto the AI watch resting on the table beside some more technology, the only thing he left behind after his sudden disappearance. As she want to walk up to the object, her phone pinged insider her pocket making her pull it out.

Miles' number and contact appeared on the screen of it, and it was him asking if she was alright, something he would always do now sensing her change in bahours these past months. He wouldn't pri into what was wrong, and would let her come to him if she needed to talk, as he didn't want to push her to spill why.

A small grateful smile crossed her lips, and went to type her answer back with a red heart, hoping to assure his worries. Miles wasn't the only one constantly asking, as Rio and Jeff were just like him with her. Who could blame them though?

Slipping the phone back into her pants pocket, she shot a web carefully at the AI watch and pulled it away from the cord connected to it, "You probably thought I couldn't fix this, right?" She mused with a mumble to herself, and holds the wristband in her hands, "Well, I did Miguel."

Unknown to her, but Elvis who was behind her and cleaning himself with his tongue, the shiny thing hidden on his collar's name tag was glowing a small orange colour, almost like it heard her words.

(Y/N) knew he had underestimated her skills and brain, because she quiet literally fixed the wristband, with a lot of help from tech and Miles of course. The only downside though, is that it was stuck to the size that fitted his wrist, and she had no clue how to work the damn thing.

With a defeated sigh she placed the wristband down back onto the platform, and the charging wires went back inside it. She turned back to her cat, and squatted down to his level, patting his white fur to distract herself.

"This is really annoying, Elvis. You want to know why?" She started off in a question, still patting her cat as he looked up and paid attention now, "I think something terrible has happened, maybe not to me but to the multi-verse. I mean, why am I glitching in my own universe? That doesn't make sense at all."

She stood up mid talk, and placed her knuckles underneath her chin in thought, "None of this adds up. Miguel leaving with no goodbye, the wristband AI being the only thing he let stay here, and the fact that I'm now experiencing strange things happening to me and my Spider powers." She ranted, pacing back and forth in front of a listening Elvis, "Should I be trying to find him? Or do I just wait here, and act like nothings happening?"

A small scowl made its way across her face at the last words spoken, and stops where the wristband was, arms crossed over her chest, "No, neither of them sound like a good plan. No matter how much I want answers, and to see him.." She muttered with a huff, and turned back around to Elvis again to see him pawing at the cupboards.

The (H/C) haired girl chuckled knowingly at him, and went over to him as she picked Elvis up like a baby, "You can't even listen to me for a second without wanting food." She teased with a playful boop to his nose, causing Elvis to meow and move his paws over her shoulder in a more comfortable position.

Pressing a kiss against his fur head, she gently let him down onto the til floor again, and went to open the cupboard that had his food. Lifting open the can's lid, she poured the wet food into his red bowl, and biskets into his blue one.

Elvis was straight away into the food, and eating out of his blows when she placed them own onto his mat, and watched the galten eat his like his life depended on it.

"You act like you don't get fed, El." (Y/N) scoffed with an eye roll thrown down at him. The girl left her cat to eat in peace, and moved back towards the dining table.

Leaning on the chair Miguel split pink paint on, she grabbed the wristband watch from its platform and held it up again. She hesitated to actually place it onto her wrist, in fear of something bad happening. 

Thought she also knew that she had powers on her side, and could easily deal with whatever the consequence was in affect to it. The only thing she wouldn't want was, no harm to Elvis, her family and more glitching. That she could not handle.

With a gulp to the lump in her throat, and forgetting any hesitation about this, she goes to slide the wristband on her wrist, and lets it go as it hangs loosely on her arm.

"Don't tell me it's not actually going to fit-" She deadpanned with a scrunched up nose, until the wristband started making some weird beeps. It glowed orange from the screen as it slowly formed around her wrist to fit it, perfectly.

She blinked a bit surprised at this, and held up the now pulsing and glowing watch for her eyes to see, "Oh, it did work." She hummed to herself in confusio, and went to try and work the small screen it had, as it was blank and only had a glitching line in the middle.

However before (Y/N) could do anything further with this new discovery and AI, something had intteurpated her. A intermittent low humming sound, followed by some loud whooshing noises was heard, as a mix of bright colorful lights appeared in her living room.

Her Spider sense spiked up rapidly at this, causing her to spin around quickly on guard, and got ready to face whatever was entering through the forming portal.

But, as soon as she heard the voice of who was inside her apartment now, a gasp left her lips and her defensive stance was brought down next.

"Hey, you got a minute?"
