ENJOY <3

   !!!WARNING!!! 

!!!MAJOR SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME AHEAD!!! 

!!! SO IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, READ NO FURTHER !!!

Alright, let's do this one last time.

My name is Peter Parker.

I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for two years I've been the one and only Spider-Man.

I'm pretty sure you know the rest.

I met Tony Stark, fought Captain America in Germany, went back home to Queens, tool over my my duties as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, built Legos with my friend Ned, then it turns out that the girl I liked had an evil father, so, that's nice... I survived a plane crash, went to space, fought some purple dude, dusted away, woke up five years later, saved the world, and...

Tony...

Look, I've been through a lot. I met a wizard and a bug girl... a freakin' building fell on top of me!

No matter how many hits I take, I always get back up.

But... the toughest thing I've ever gone through? Tougher than everything else?

Losing Tony Stark.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

Pepper Potts (now Pepper Stark, her and Tony having gotten married during those five long years I had been gone) cracked open the door of her small house, blinking her round blue eyes as she recognized us.

"May! Peter! Please, come in, come in..." She opened the door all the way, revealing her small but cozy home. Aunt May and me stepped into the small entryway, Pepper closing the door behind us.

Pepper looked... tired, to say the least. I mean, she lost her husband. The love of her life. She has to take care of Morgan all on her own...

But that's why we're here.

To help Pepper adjust, and to help her with Morgan. The two are going through an awful lot. Especially Morgan...

She lost her father.

"You two didn't have to travel all the way here," Pepper said, looking at her feet.

"Nonsense!" Aunt May exclaimed, putting a hand on Pepper's shoulder. "It's the least we could do. It's been five years since... you know. The Decemation. Five. Years. We have a lot to talk about!"

Pepper laughed. A real, genuine laugh.

"Peta?" A small voice questioned from somewhere behind Peter, and he turned to see the four-year-old Morgan Stark. She was gawking at him, her round brown eyes full of curiosity. She held a teddy bear in her hand, and she was wearing her pajamas, rubbing her eyes tiredly. She must've just woke up.

Peter smiled, remembering when they had first met. She had misheard him say his name, and now she calls him Peta. He doesn't mind, though. He actually think it's kind of cute.

Peter crouched down to Morgan's height so she could see me better, smiling softly at the young genius.

"Hey, Morgan. I'm going to be hanging out with you for a few days. If that's okay...?"

She smiled at Peter, her eyes sparkling. "I'd love that!"

Peter ruffled her hair, the girl laughing in return.

"That reminds me... I have something for you," Peter shrugged his backpack off of his shoulders, unzipping it very slowly. Morgan gazed at the bag curiously, her stare intense.

The look on Morgan's face as he pulled out a hand-sewn doll made his heart melt.

Morgan gently took the Iron Man doll from Peter's hands, glancing from him to the doll. She held it delicately, as if it would break at her touch. She sniffed, tackling Peter in a hug.

~DRAWING COMING SOON~

Peter laughed, hugging the girl in return. "I have another surprise... surprises, actually."

Morgan cocked her head, smiling even wider as Peter pulled out two more dolls- these ones Captain America and the Hulk.

Morgan took them one by one as Peter showed her yet another hand-sewn doll. It was Loki, staff and all.

Pepper smiled at the sight of her happy daughter, turning to Aunt May. "Did Peter make those?"

Aunt May nodded. "He wanted to do something special for Morgan. He spent two weeks on all the details. His friends MJ and Ned helped him. I helped him gather the fabric,"

"Thank you. For everything," Pepper gave Aunt May a hug, who gladly returned it.

Morgan grinned wide, her teddy bear long forgotten as she held the four dolls close to her chest.

"I have one more. Do you wanna see it?" Peter asked, Morgan nodding, somewhat eagerly.

The next doll Peter pulled out of his backpack was the one he wasn't sure how Morgan would feel about. After his school trip and all the crazy events that had taken place, he didn't know whether or not to add this certain hero to the lot.

But Morgan's smile grew even bigger than before as the next hero emerged from his backpack- your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Pepper clapped her hands, turning to Aunt May. "Let's get you two settled in! Peter and you can sleep in the guest room,"

May smiled. "Thanks, Pepper. Peter? Can you get the rest of our bags out of the car, please?"

Peter rose to his feet, now facing the two older woman. "Of course, Aunt Ma-"

Just then, the door opened, revealing Ned and MJ, Ned smiling and waving at a shocked Peter.

"Hey Peter!"

"'Sup," MJ nodded in his direction, trying to hide the blush on her face.

"Ned?! MJ?! What are you two doing he-"

Suddenly, a pink, blue, and white portal opened up at Peter's feet, causing Peter to fall feet first into what seemed like endless blue sky.

"Peter!" May screamed at the same time as Ned, the young woman taking a step forward.

Ned practically lunged himself at the portal, MJ trying to hold him back to no avail, the two falling into the strange wormhole as well, Ned screaming and MJ swearing.

"Peta!" Morgan dropped her dolls in surprise, the Spider-Man doll falling towards the portal. Morgan gasped lightly, reaching for the doll and tripping, falling towards the swirling portal.

"Morgan!" Pepper caught her daughter before she could fall into the portal herself, Morgan grabbing the Spider-Man doll by the arm just before it could tumble after Peter and his friends. "Sweetie, be more careful... oh my god..."

The portal suddenly popped out of existence, as if it had never even been there in the first place.

May sunk to her knees, hand over her mouth and shoulders shaking as she touched the spot where the portal had been. "Peter...?!"

She then started to slam her fists against the ground, screaming for Peter to come back, praying that it was all just a harmless prank and that he didn't fall into the unknown, into another adventure where he has to fight who in God's name know what.

Pepper bowed her head, heading down the hall and whispering to Morgan. "Why don't you go play in your room while me and May figure out what the hell just happened, ok?"

As her mother led her towards her bedroom, Morgan looked over her shoulder towards Aunt May, who was now pulling her hair, trying not to cry in frustration. Morgan glanced at the Spider-Man doll in her hand, then back at where Peter had been only moments before.

"Peta?"

Miles Morales had never been happier.

When Gwen Stacy, aka Spider-Woman (Spider-Gwen to her friends), appeared in a portal, asking if he had a minute, he instantly knew that something was going to happen.

Not necessarily something bad, but still.

When Ganke (his roommate and best friend) saw the portal, his jaw practically dropped to the floor. After explaining the portal (with Gwen poking her head out of the portal and laughing at Ganke's expression, making Miles smile. He just loved seeing her laugh.) to him, Ganke had smiled as Miles followed Gwen through the portal, saying sixwords that made Miles choke on his own saliva...

"Just don't have too much fun, eh?"

That got him a pillow to the face.

After the portal closed, Miles turned to Gwen. "Sorry about that. Ganke can be..."

"Over-enthusiastic?" Gwen raised an eyebrow, smirking.

"...yeah, let's go with that." Miles chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck nervously, cheeks red.

Oh my god, what is wrong with me?!

Stay cool, Miles. Stay cool...

"So, uh, how did you open a portal?"

"Actually, I didn't open a portal." Gwen said, smiling sheepishly.

Miles blinked. Several times. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I was patrolling and, all of a sudden, the portal just... appeared. It didn't try and suck me into your dimension or anything. The portal stayed still, and I saw you. I wonder why the portal opened... does someone want us together in one place, or is another villain after us? We just defeated Kingpin, but what if he escaped, or-"

Miles put a hand on Gwen's shoulder. "Hey."

"Let's not worry about that at the moment, ok? Sure, it's a little strange, a portal appearing out of nowhere, but we can figure that out later. We just finished an adventure. We don't need to start another one. You mean a lot to me, Gwen, and that's something I'm not afraid to admit. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. Besides, we deserve a break, right?"

Gwen's blue eyes met Miles' hazel ones, a shy smile appearing on her face (a blush on her cheeks).

"Your right, Miles. Let's just have some fun. Hey! I know a great ice cream shoppe downtown. Wanna check it out?"

Miles grinned. "Just as long as you're still smiling."

Peter Parker was so shocked that he almost forgot to scream as he fell through the sky.

Notice I said 'almost'.

Peter's hair ruffled as the wind flew around him, his clothes going up. He was on his stomach, arms and legs in the air as he fell, remembering that old song about free falling.

That is exactly how he felt at the moment.

Even though he wasn't screaming, Peter could hear screaming coming from somewhere above him.

"PEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEERRRRRR!"

Peter blinked several times. He could swear that someone screamed his name.

He was probably just hallucinating.

Looking down, Peter noticed that he was approaching a small town, the buildings looking like small dots, getting bigger as he got closer and closer to the ground.

The wind hit Peter in the face, causing him to sputter.

If he didn't figure out a way to slow down soon, he would end up a pile of goo on the sidewalk in only a matter of minutes.

Peter smirked as he remembered the adjustments he made to his suit a while back.

His emergency Nano Tec.

Peter slowly moved his arm, reaching towards his chest and grabbing his backpack strap.

With a single flick of his wrist, Peter's new suit formed around him, replacing his every day clothes with his awesome new Spider-Man suit.

Peter flicked his wrist once more, the web fluid turning solid in mid-air as it flew downward, attaching itself to something.

He tugged on the web-like string, which pulled him forward faster, Peter propelling through the sky, the ground only several feet away-

The last thing Peter saw before he hit the ground were two teen, one blonde and one with brownish black hair, each holding an ice cream cone, the two staring into each other's eyes.

Then, Peter crashed face-first onto the sidewalk between them, the two looking down at him in shock, the boy screeching and the girl dropping her ice cream cone.

Way to ruin the moment, Parker.

Gwen Stacy laughed at Miles Morales cautiously licked his cotton candy ice cream, his eyes widening as his mouth has flooded with the sweet flavor, sort of like bubble gum. The way he smiled made her smile, blushing at how precious and adorable he was.

"Mmm!" Miles grinned, Gwen laughing once more, cheeks red. Miles blushed in embarrassment.

"I told you it was the best ice cream shoppe in town!"

"Isn't it the only ice cream shoppe in town?"

"Uh... yeah. Yeah, it is."

Miles tried not to laugh at the expression on Gwen face, failing. She elbowed him in the arm, the two walking along the sidewalk together.

A comfortable (yet a little awkward) silence fell over the two as they walked, enjoying their ice cream, Miles shocked at how cotton candy could even be such a good flavor and Gwen lost in thought, trying to figure out what the heck was going on, why the portal brought her to Miles' world, who sent it, and what exactly it meant.

Miles noticed that Gwen was a little distracted, that she wasn't enjoying herself. He pouted in frustration, trying to think of something, anything to make her stop thinking about why Miles was there and stop worrying herself and instead just enjoy his company and have a good time.

Miles stopped walking, Gwen barely noticing until Miles coughed awkwardly. Gwen turned, blinking several times in confusion.

"Oh. Heh. Sorry, Miles."

"Gwen, are you okay? You seem... lost."

Gwen blinked once more, laughing (her laugh obviously fake). "What? Pfft, no. I'm not lost. I grew up here, Miles! I know my way around the city like I know the back of my-"

"That's not what I meant." Miles grabbed Gwen's free hand, her cheeks going red at his touch. "Gwen, you're still focused on the whole portal thing, aren't you?"

Gwen bit her lip and looked across the street, that simple action telling Miles that his guess was correct.

"Look, Gwen. I'm curious too, maybe even a little scared..." Miles took a step closer to Gwen, their hands still entwined. Their faces were only about a foot or two away from each other. "But you shouldn't worry yourself so much! Remember what I said earlier? You really do mean a lot to me, Gwen. And I would go to any and all lengths just to see your smile."

Gwen's blue eyes sparkled, staring right into Miles' hazel ones. Her lips were parted slightly, Gwen not knowing what to say.

"Miles, I..." Gwen's heart was pounding, her world frozen as her cheeks flushed red, her whole world stuck, no one else there but Miles.

Only her and Miles.

Gwen took another step toward Miles, their hands still entwined (ice cream melting in their other hands).

That's when-

OH MY GOD, IS SHE GONNA KISS HIM?! OMG SHE IS

What?! NO, DERPY! Don't kiss him! It's not the right moment!

Girls, please-

UH, it is EXACTLY the right moment, Ravenfeather! KISS HIM

No, they are not ready yet! The moment they kiss needs to be PERFECT! They haven't even gone that far on their adventure yet!

Will you stop-

*screams at top of lungs* KISS HIM, GWEN, KISS HIM LIKE YOU DID IN SITTING IN A TREE! KISS HIM LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW! KISSSSSSSSSS HIMMMMMMM

Oh my god... *buries face in hands*

OH, will you two be quiet?! She is CLEARLY trying to process what the heck is happening, and none of us are helping her with our bickering!

Sorry, Tiggs, I just really want them to kiss.

We can tell.

Shut up, Ravenfeather.

I want them to kiss too, but let's just see what happens, ok, girls? Sheesh. You two always interrupt the story, and as much as I love hearing you two bicker, let's focus here. The readers want to know what happens next.

Sorry, Tiggs...

Don't be sorry.

Sorry.

*snickers*

*groans* Let's just see what happens next already...

-the two froze in place as they heard a sound coming from above, a sound that sounded an awful lot like... screaming?

Suddenly, a web, much like the webs that come out of their hands when their out Spider-ing, landed directly in between them, Gwen dropping her ice cream in surprise, Miles letting go of her hand, the two taking a step back.

They looked up at the sky just in time to see a teenager about the age of sixteen falling towards them, his brown hair ruffling in the wind.

But the strangest thing about him?

He was wearing a Spider suit and holding onto the web like it was a lifeline- which it was.

Dang it, Peter! You always have to ruin the moment...

Quiet!

Before Miles and Gwen could even process what was happening, he landed at their feet with a sickening crunch, Miles screeching in surprise.

"What the-?!"

"Oh my-"

Gwen kneeled beside the teen, pushing him onto his back. He was clearly unconscious, but that wasn't what made Gwen and Miles gasp.

He looked exactly like Peter B. Parker.

Well, a younger version of him, at least.

Miles and Gwen locked eyes.

Uh oh.

-0-0-0-

When Peter opened his eyes, the first thing he realized was that he was on the pavement. Second, his wrist hurt like crazy, the same with his head.

Third, two people were looming over him.

A girl with fierce blue eyes gazed down at him, her freckled face stretched into a frown. The boy beside her had his eyebrows furrowed, his hazel eyes full of confusion.

"Um, hi?" Peter blinked, groaning as he sat up, rubbing the back of his head. He realized that the two teens staring at him curiously were the young couple that he had seen when he fell from the sky. At least, he thought they were a couple. They definitely looked like a couple, the way they had been staring at each other before he oh-so rudely interrupted.

Oh, they're a couple alright. Well, they will be...

Tiggs, please stop being mysterious. Your making us anxious.

Yeah! Now we really want to know what happens next, especially the GWEN X MILES FLUFF!

Sorry. Talking in a mysterious and creepy voice is just how I do things, girls. I like to keep the readers- and you two- on the edge of their seats... *evil cackle* You have no idea what's coming MWAHAHAHAHA-

You know we can hear you, right?

Everyone can hear her, Derpy. We're the narrators.

Shut up, Rav.

The blonde leaned over to the hazel-eyed boy, whispering something to him, the boy shaking his head and whispering back. Peter didn't like secrets, but he thought that he knew what they were talking about- why the heck he fell from the sky and why he was wearing a superhero costume.

Little did Peter know that they were talking about the complete opposite.

"He looks so young! What happened?!" Gwen whispered frantically, an eyebrow raised at the clearly confused and much younger Peter Parker.

"Gwen, look at his suit. It's different. I don't think this is the Peter Parker we know. There are millions all across the universe, we know that for sure. Maybe this Peter is from a different universe?!"

Gwen gasped. "You might be onto something, Miles!"

Miles was about to say something when another scream pierced the air- but it wasn't just one scream this time.

It was two.

Peter, Gwen and Miles looked up, their eyes landing on two falling figures- one screaming and waving his arms like a maniac, the other with her eyes closed and curly black hair flying around her.

Before Gwen and Miles could even process what was going on, Peter jumped to his feet, saying one word that made both Miles and Gwen freeze in place:

"MJ! " Peter ran into the middle of the street, catching a girl about his age- sixteen- in his arms, her hazel eyes blinking repeatedly.

Meanwhile, Ned crash-landed in a bush.

Peter smiled at MJ, who gazed into his eyes, the two obviously having taken a liking to each other.

MY SHIP!

SAAAAME!

QUIET! But, yeah, I love them too.

That's when MJ noticed his Spider suit, a smile breaking out across her face.

"I knew it!"

Peter's face was priceless.

"What?! No! I'm not- this isn't- oh, who am I kidding?!" Peter huffed as he put MJ down, who laughed, making him blush in embarrassment.

Ned groaned, poking his head out of the bush and glaring at Peter.

"Sure, save the girl, not your best friend."

Peter chuckled, helping Ned out of the bush. "What are you two doing here? I thought you were still at Pepper's,"

"Dude, you fell through a twirling, swirling portal in the ground! You could've gotten hurt!"

"Ned, you could've gotten hurt jumping in after Peter!" MJ shot him a look.

"The bush broke my fall,"

"Still."

"You two didn't have to follow me. You know that I can take care of myself-" Peter was interrupted my MJ grabbing his wrist, which still hurt really bad.

"Oh, yeah? Then explain how you sprained your wrist," She raised an eyebrow, Peter shrinking under her gaze.

How the heck does she even know?! Peter thought. Never mind, this is MJ we're talking about.

"I used my web fluid to help slow down as I fell so that the impact wouldn't break every bone in my body. But I ended up spraining my wrist instead..."

MJ shot Peter a glare once more.

"Would you have preferred that I break every bone in my body?" Peter pulled his hand away, crossing his arms. MJ tackled him in a hug, Peter turning red and blinking repeatedly.

"I'm just glad you're okay," She whispered, Peter's cheeks reddening even more. But he slowly smiled.

"You too, MJ."

She pulled away from the hug, punching him in the arm. "No thanks to you. Where did that portal come from, anyway?"

"To be honest? I have no idea. But we should be heading back to Pepper's. Aunt May is no doubt worried sick..."

Ned pulled out his phone. "Want me to call May? She can come pick us up from... New York?! I thought we were... never mind."

Peter nodded. "Yeah. Let's get out of here... wherever 'here' is. It looks like New York, yet... not."

MJ held the sides of her arms, shivering in her thin maroon hoodie. "I don't like this. I don't like this at all..."

Peter put an arm around MJ, offering some warmth. "Call Aunt May so we can get out of here,"

Suddenly, a web shot out at them, grabbing Ned's phone right out of his hands!

"Hey-" Ned turned, eyes wide. MJ squeaked in surprise.

Two figures clad in costume were standing in the middle of the street, one in black and red, holding Ned's phone, which was wrapped in a web much like Peter's own. Their suit was very street artsy. The other was wearing white, black and pink, their face covered with a mask an awful lot like Peter's and a hood. They also wore... ballet slippers?!

(Why did I draw Miles so short? I also messed up on Gwen's eye... oh well. AND YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE GWEN'S BALLET SLIPPERS, OH MY-)

"You two aren't going anywhere until you explain who you are and what you are doing here,"

"I told you something like this was going to happen, Miles!" The hooded hero (who was clearly a girl, ballet slippers or no) shouted at the other one, who groaned in response.

"Is it wrong to want to have a little bit of fun once and awhile, Gwen?" He said, the girl punching him in the arm playfully.

"That's not what I- oh, never mind."

"W-Who are you?" Peter blinked. His Spidey senses were suddenly on high alert.

Why?

Because the two superheroes were exactly like him- powers and all. He just knew it. How he knew it? Peter had no clue.

"The real question is..." The girl spoke, pulling off her mask to reveal the blonde who had been whispering about him earlier. "...which Peter Parker are you? "

-0-0-0-

A girl with long, black hair that fell down her shoulders slammed her fist against the table.

~DRAWING COMING SOON~

"You what?! " She yelled at the two henchmen (and women) in front of her.

"W-We accidently-" A guy with fiery red hair and green eyes stuttered, wincing when his master yelled at him and Val once more, her grey eyes full of fury.

"I don't care if it was an accident! Fix it! " She screamed.

Val, a shorter girl with even shorter blond-ish brown hair nodded violently. "Yes, Mistress! We'll fix it!"

In a flash, she was halfway across the warehouse, tinkering with the gadgets that had opened up the portal to Miles' universe and sent Peter, Ned, and MJ into Gwen's.

The redhead, Jaidyn, stayed where he was, waiting for Amanda- er, Dark Wasp- to give him an order.

"What are you just standing there for?! HELP HER! " Amanda snarled, Jaidyn disappearing in a puff of smoke and appearing at Val's side, looking very scared. Amanda sat back in her seat, groaning in annoyance. "You two always mess things up! It's going to be even harder to get all the superheroes in one place now that you've 'accidentally' sent Peter and his friends to Earth-65?! This ruins everything..."

Suddenly, Amanda caught something out of the corner of her eye on her moniter- Miles and Gwen were with Peter and his friends. An idea popped into her head.

A very evil idea...

"On second thought... keep them where they are."

Val and Jaidyn glanced at each other before stopping what they were doing.

"W-What do you m-mean, Mistress...?" Val swallowed, fearing the worst.

Hey, she may work for someone evil, but that doesn't mean that she's evil herself.

"Remember when the Tony Stark and Captain America of Earth-616 went head-to-head and tore the Avengers in two? What did they call it, again? Oh, yes... a civil war."

Jaidyn gulped. "Sort of, yes..."

"Bring Peter B. Parker onto Earth-65. Let these 'Spideys' meet each other."

"What are you planning, Mistress?" Val asked while Jaidyn poofed back over to the controls.

"Let's see what happens if we start our own civil war between these teenage heroes..."

"...starting with Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy."
