Waking up early for me is usually the easiest part of the day. But waking up early while you're having a dream you enjoy is something different.

I had woken up, the last part of my dream clinging on for dear life. 

"Felicity, there's something I have to tell you.." Peter said as he fiddled with his fingers.

"Well then say it. It's not like I'll judge you any different." I had said, but it was barely a whisper.

"Um, yeah. Felicity I'm-" 

My alarm woke me up, the calming color of my LED lights trying desperately to lull me back to sleep. I groaned, sitting up and walking to my bathroom, splashing my face with cold water. I patted off the water with a small towel, walking to my closet.

I grabbed my thick black sweater and a pair of jeans, slipping a pair of beige heeled boots and my plaid scarf, noticing that the weather would be pretty cold. I didn't bother grabbing my backpack since I would be on a field trip today. I grabbed my phone and a small backpack, slinging it over my shoulders before heading downstairs.

I heard a honk, frowning when I saw Harry, a wide smile on his face. 

"Now I have to cancel my Uber." I said, hopping in the front seat.

"Your Uber is right here." He said as I pulled out my phone, canceling the Uber.

"Yeah yeah just get to the school. It leaves in 20 minutes and I want a good seat. Harry sighed as he put the car in drive, heading towards MidTown High.

I sat down in one of the bus seats, Valarie and Sarah showing up moments later, sitting across from me together. Harry was seated in the far back with a few of the football jocks, including Flash. I turned my head, nearly jumping out of my seat when I saw Peter, standing in front of my seat.

"H-Hey, Felicity." He said, giving me a small wave. He was wearing his blue shirt over a thin one, his brown jeans looking dirty, like he had been pushed into dirt. 

"Hey Peter." I said, giving him a small smile. I looked around, noticing everyone had found a seat together. 

"Can I uh-" He cleared his throat for a second, his voice having gone higher for a moment. "Can I sit here?" He asked, pointing next to me. I sighed, nodding my head. "Thanks." He sat down, putting his backpack in front of his feet.

I noticed both Valarie and Sarah were leaning forward, smiling eagerly at me in a creepy way. I rolled my eyes mentally flipping them off as Peter looked at me, smiling.

"Hey uh about last night-" He started.

"Peter, it's okay. You had to go home and I fell asleep." He closed his mouth, nodding as the engine of the bus roared awake, the bus jolting forward for a moment. He fiddled with his thumbs for a moment before reaching into his pocket, pulling out his phone.

"I uh- I have a dual headphone adapter. Do you want to listen to some music?" He asked as I turned to face him. I sighed, nodding slowly as I pulled out my headphones, plugging it into the adapter as Peter pressed play, 'Back in Black' playing on his phone.

"Oh I love AC/DC." I said, smiling. Peter turned to me, frowning for a moment before a face of realization crossed his face.

The trip was quite between me and Peter other than the music playing in our ears. We often caught each other's eyes, small laughs escaping our throats. The bus came to a halt outside the lab, everyone standing up and walking out of the bus.

"This place is bigger than Oscorp..." I said quietly to Peter, who gulped and nodded.

"Well. We won't learn anything just standing here. Come on, Parker." I said, walking into the laboratory with Peter, Harry, Sarah, and Valarie following behind.

I stopped in the middle, looking up and around, seeing what looked like hundreds of floors above me. Peter pushed up his glasses as he looked up, gazing at everything in awe.

"This place looks so much bigger on the inside." He said as I nodded in agreement.

"Alright class. Over here!" Mr. Warren said, waving his hand near a large machine. The five of us looked at each other before the boys separated from the girls. So now me, Valarie, MJ, and Sarah were together while Ned, Peter, and Harry were on the opposite ends.

"This is lame." MJ said, crossing her arms. I frowned at her.

"This machine is supposed to open a hole in the universe and prove that there is a multiverse. If there is then there is a chance we can travel to and from different Earths, and that is... Totally awesome." I said, smiling at the machine.

"You're a nerd. Kinda like Peter." She said, looking at him from afar. I looked in Peter's direction. He was laughing, punching Harry's chest with the back of his hand as he doubled over. I felt my lips twitch into a small smile, everyone going silent while a scientist walked in front of the machine.

"Hello students of Midtown high. We are very pleased you can be here to witness the start of a new era: The Multiverse Era. With this machine," The male said, gesturing behind him at the large machine. "We will be able to communicate with other Earths, we will be able to meet our dopplegangers, and see the way they live.. If they do at all." A hushed whisper spread throughout the small crowd, the male scientist quieting everyone.

"Jamie. How about you press that button." The male said as a girl appeared next to the machine, the male stepping away as she pressed the button, moving behind the line. I leaned forward as the machine buzzed to life, turning to Peter, who was smiling at me. I smiled back, turning back to face the machine.

I frowned as it started to spark, feeling the air get sucked away before a white ball appeared. Everyone cheered for a moment before the ball burst, a white circle blasting towards us. Everyone fell to the ground while I was shot with a burst of white wind and electricity, being sent backwards. I slid across the laboratory, hitting my back on a pole.

I groaned, sitting up as everyone raced towards me. "Hey look! Peter's getting sick!" Flash laughed, pointing at Peter, who shot up and ran out the door, his glasses falling off and cracking. "Guess he always had a weak stomach." Flash continued.

I held my head for a moment, standing up. "Hey woah, Miss Dagger I think we should send you to the doctor." Mr. Warren said, grabbing my shoulder. I shook him off, grabbing Peter's glasses.

"I'm fine. I promise." But I wasn't. I felt electricity coursing through my veins, feeling that white gust of wind continue to hit me even though it wasn't. 

I ran out the door following Peter. I found him hunched over, one hand leaning on the wall, the other holding his gut as he threw up. I gaged, looking away.

"Peter? Are you okay?" He wiped his mouth, standing up straighter and turned to me. He had what looked like a bad bitemark on his neck, which was already slightly swollen.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. Something just bit me. I'm okay. What about you? I watched you get sent backwards but-" I held up my hands.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine. My head just hurts." I held his glasses out to him. Peter took them carefully, not yet putting them on.

"We should um- get back to the class." He said as I nodded, turning around as Peter followed behind me. I watched my hair bounce around, stopping in my place when I noticed a few thick strands had turned into an off-white color.

"What's wrong, Felicity?" Peter asked, walking up next to me. I cleared my throat, shaking my head.

"Uh, nothing. Just got light headed. Let's go." I said quickly, heading back to the class.

Well there you go. There's the start of Spider-Man. Though we have yet to get to.... THAT part, if you know what I mean (Bye Bye Uncle Ben :( )
Anyway, hope y'all figure out what has happened to Felicity too. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
