chapter two, the spider bite
__________________

The people of westeros and the avengers gazed at Otto, who he himself, looked at an alternative version of himself on screen. Miles gazes at him; "Is a variant of yourself in a way. But the simplest explanation is that Connors is your doppelgänger."

"Doppelgänger?" Question Otto in confusion at the odd vocabulary that all these people carried. Gwyn glances at him; "Doppelgänger is an double of a living person. Basically the another person who is you is completely different from your personality but has the same looks as you."

Otto and the others from westeros nodded at the blonde teen boy; who is apparently also a hero from a different universe. Nothing of the new modern world makes sense to them; which is odd coming from people who live through ideals of prophecy and dragons.

Helaena fiddled with her hands as she glanced at the other young people who seemed to be very free. "What is a variant?"

Many glanced at the three different Peters as they were the best example. Peter one gazed at the nervous girl; he smiled at her softly which helped her ease her nerves. "A variant is a person who is a different version of yourself in different forms or story events."

Peter two glanced at her, "For example the three of us are named Peter and are spider-man yet we look completely different. Miles is variant spider-man the hero itself. We could look different but the personality traits are carried through."

"Thank you," murmurs Helaena ignroing the glares coming from her mother, her grandsire, and her older brother. She was curious about their world. Miles and Gywn glanced at each other as they knew how weird the multiverse is, especially when it comes to the variation of spider-man.

The scene opens with Miles gazing down at her organize desk and a picture of her father with a man. She found a pair of glasses as she put it on. Miles gazes at the oscorp badage then at the briefcase as she grabs it moving it hearing something inside. Opening the case ran her hand inside when she found a stack of files.

Miles closes at the door as she moves back, opening the file, seeing a sort of decay rate formula written on it. Miles whispers to herself, "What is this?"

"Zero, zero, decay rate algorithm," reads off Mile on the file. Hearing a knock on the door Miles closes the file putting everything away. Then moving to her desk, turning on her computer. "Yeah, one sec, one sec."

"Come in," replied Miles, sitting awkwardly. It moves to Ben opening the door, "You okay?"

Miles nods at him, "Yeah. What's up?"

Ben stares at Miles, "You know those glasses that you wear, were your mothers. You look just like her. Can I come in?"

Michelle rolls her eyes as Peter three snapped his fingers at Miles. "You know the same thing for me but I had this cool lock built."

"You done web-head," says Michelle as Peter three glares at her. Peter one shakes his head but has a smile as he is glad that the girl he likes gets along with someone he views as his older brother. Is just Michelle had a weird way of showing it, Peter one sighs as he really should tell her about everything they have been through.

"Why would you need an extra lock?" Questions Clint as his dad mode within him is showing. He would be worried if his boy had built anything to restrict access in case he needed to reach him in emergency but Clint would respect his privacy. He knows how much privacy is respected in his family as he is part of the famous hero group.

Peter three shrugs at the archer; "I don't just was building stuff."

Clint nodded as it was a fair answer. They all glanced back at the screen.

"Yeah," said Miles, taking off the glasses.

Ben moves to grabbing a rubix cube. "Listen, I don't have much education. You know that, Miles. Hell, I stopped being able to help with your homework when you were 10. What I'm trying to say is. I know it's been rough for you without your mom and dad. And I know we don't talk much about them."

Miles looks at him with a half smile, "Yeah, it's all right."

Ben sighs, shaking his head; "No, it is not all right. I wish I could change it, but I can't. Curt Connors. That's the name of the guy in the picture with your dad. They worked together for years and they were close. But after that night, we never saw him again. He never even called. Not once. Go figure."

"She's pretty," says Ben as his eyes moved across the room and landed on girl on Miles computer screen. Ben's eye widened but smiled at her. Ben was about to exit the room when Miles called out for him; "Uncle Ben."

Ben pause as he turns to Miles. "What?"

Miles glances at him with a smile on her; "You're a pretty great dad. Alright."

All three Peters smiled at that. As they lost their parents in a tragic way but that did not mean they were completely abandoned. May and Ben took them as their own and did the best to provide a good home for them.

Peter one grips onto his seat as the death of aunt May was still too fresh. He was filled with loneliness and all he wanted was to hear May tell him that she 'larbs' him. He missed her so much. Michelle noticed Peter one in distress as she grabbed his hand but avoided his gaze. Peter one just squeezed her hand tightly.

Miles had a sad smile on her because even with the luck she had of her being in her own universe she is meant to be in. She remembers perfectly the feeling of sorrow of not having her parents. And she was tremendously glad to have her own version of May and Ben with her. But now she is in her universe.

She is spider-man. She was living through a typical Peter Parker story of becoming spider-man. But she is not any version of Peter Parker. She is Miles Morales, her own form of spider-man.

And it is time she finds her own story.

Ben smiles as he leaves the room. Scene shifts to computer screen with the search bar being, 'Jefferson Davis and Curt Connors.' When an article appears stating 'CROSS SPECIES GENTICS science fiction or science fact?' Miles then glances at an article about a plane crash that killed her parents. Further information shown about doctor Connors theory on how the world is weak.

The scene changes to the next day of the Oscorp building with Miles glancing at it from afar. Scene cuts to Miles glancing around when a receptionists called out to her; "Excuse me."

"What?" Questions Miles turning around the lady. The lady smiles at her; "Can I help you?"

Miles moves closer to her; "I don't know. I'm here to see. Dr. Connors. Right."

The lady nods, "Right. You'll find yourself to the left. You are here for the internship?"

"Yeah. Yeah," nods Miles at her. Lady smiles at her, "Okay. You'll find your badge to the left."

"Oh," exclaimed Miles as she glanced around. Lady tilts her head, "Having trouble finding yourself?"

"No. Yeah, I got it," replied Miles, grabbing the badage. Lady nods, "Okay. Ms. Guevara."

"Garcias," murmurs Miles with a smile. The lady shakes her head, "De nada." (thank you, your welcome)

Many started to laugh at Miles's awkwardness. Miles sinks in her seat as blush is on her. Jace leans to his little brother; "Maybe you are a hero in a different life as well brother."

"You as well. Probably the most stubborn hero." Says Luke to his older brother. Knowing that they are both very stubborn Velaryon men. Luke glances at the whole new world with wonder as they did not seem to comment on each others looks at all.

Not like how he and Jace are used to being called bastards because they did not have the traditional targaryen looks.

Peter three was about to speak when Michelle cut him off; "Let me guess. It happened to you but there is only one thing that happened differently?"

Peter three shut his mouth as he sunk in his seat with Peter two patting his shoulder.

Scene zoomes out to Miles on escalator while a virtual billboard of the building as annoccoment is heard over the building. "Welcome to Oscorp. Born from the mind of our founder, Norman Osborn, the Oscorp Tower houses 108 floors of innovation. Our scientific minds are pushing the boundaries of defence, biomedical and chemical technologies. The future lies within."

The people of westeros gaze in complete amazement. Aemond glanced at the people who are not from his world in complete curiosity. "What was that thing, that thing talking?"

"You mean the screen?" Tony was confused about what the royal boy meant. Aemond nodded at him; even though he was confused but assumed the screen was the thing with different pictures showing. Aegon gazes at Tony; "I think my brother meant the person talking but it was not the man they were showing."

Everyone who was not from westeros was confused on how to explain the whole voiceover aspect. Bruce tilts his head, "Uh a person says whatever they need to say beforehand. And they just play it again regardless of it being a different person."

Aemond and Aegon paused but nodded at him. Bruce was not too sure if they understood as certain words could have different meanings for them; they speak very formal so he was not too sure what words make sense for them.

Thor glances at the westeros. "Do fear it eventually becomes easier to understand their oddness."

"Thor they meant about the technology," murmur Steve; as he understood what the people of westeros were feeling although for them it might be weirder as they come from a time way long before he was even born. Thor glances at the people of westeros; "You learn about that too."

Miles puts on her badage hanging around people. A teen girl with brunette hair walks up to them. "Welcome to Oscorp. I'm Marina Jane-Watson. You can all call me MJ. I'm a senior at midtown science and head intern to Dr. Connors. I'll be with you for the duration of your visit. Where I go, you go. That's the rule. Remember that all will be fine."

A loud yelling is heard when a teen girl is being pulled away by some guards. "What is wrong with you? Tell them Regina Guevara is here. Just tell them Regina Guevara is here! My name's Regina! Come on!"

Miles bites her lip from laughing. Scene cuts back to MJ, "I guess I don't need to tell you what happens if you forget. Shall we?"

MJ leads the group into a room full of people working in their respective desk. "Come around this way."

"Good afternoon, MJ," says Connors, walking towards the group of students. MJ nods at him, "Dr. Connors."

Tony and Bruce could help gaze at the lab room where the students were in. Tony leans; "Maybe I should buy the tower again and improve it."

"You sold the tower?" Steve says in complete surprised. Tony nods at him; "I got the compound."

Steve nods remembering Tony's ideas of expanding the entire avengers faculty. Natasha gazes at Tony in curiosity; "Who bought the tower?"

Tony shrugs as he lets Pepper handle that. Peter one looks at them; "In my timeline the tower looks better with whoever bought it."

"Ouch underroos," murmurs Tony. Peter one shrugged as he enjoyed swinging through the newer version of the tower.

Connors glances at the group, "Welcome. My name is Dr. Curtis Connors. Yes, in case you're wondering, I'm a southpaw. I'm not a cripple. I'm a scientist, and the world's foremost authority on herpetology. That's reptiles, for those of you who don't know. But like the Parkinson's patient who watches on in horror as her body slowly betrays her, or the man with macular degeneration whose eyes grow dimmer each day, I long to fix myself. I want to create a world without weakness. Anyone care to venture a guess just how?"

"Yes," says Connors when a student raises their hand. "Stem cells?"

Connors nods as he bends his head down; "Promising. But the solution I'm thinking of is more radical. No one?"

"Cross-species genetics," says Miles, who is hiding behind the group of people. MJ glances down at the sheet of names.

Miles walks a bit forward, "Person gets Parkinson's when the brain cells that produce dopamine start to disappear. But a zebra fish has the ability to regenerate cells on command. If you could give this ability to the woman you're talking about, that's that. She's, she's curing herself."

Many people looked at the different versions of spidey in curiosity as their intelligence really shines and it makes them who they are. Corlys glances at a different version of his daughter with a proud smile on him. He leans to his wife; "No doubt that the sea is carried within her."

"She is extraordinary," murmurs Rhaenys seeing her daughter's intelligence become so much more. She was upset about losing her daughter but is glad that she is living through a time where women are not viewed as weak; they are more than just doing what they are told to do.

And that comes from her who lives in the life of privileged; she could not imagine what struggles the women are not from any houses go through.

"Women are allowed to do many things in your world?" Question Rhaena glancing at the familiar eyes that belonged to her mother. Miles turned smiling at her; "Yes. It was not always that way but many women united to fight for our rights."

Michelle nodded glancing at Rhaena; "Even with all the equality there is still alot of discrimination against women. That's why many protest as it mostly comes from the people in power trying to tell a woman what to do with their body or not."

"Even though I am a man, it is important that we support women as well. I'm proud feminist" murmur Peter one glancing at the people of westos.

Peter two and three raised their brow at Peter one as he shrugged. "Em, is my girlfriend you think I won't won't pick up what she says. She takes me to many protests."

"What?" Questions Michelle in confusion. Peter one scratched his head when he was easily saved when Rhaenyra raised her curiosity. "Feminist? What is that?"

MJ glanced at her while she seemed to hold such fondness in her eyes for her ex-girlfirend. "A feminist is a person who advocates for women's rights on the basis of the equality of the. Basically a person who supports equality of the sexes."

"That seems completely nice;" murmurs Alicent as she imagines another life where she was not in position of being married off young to a man who is way older than her. But it mostly came from the fact that she wish she did not let her father's manuilpation go on for so long. Now she has let it consume her; forcing her daughter to be in marriage she does not deserve to be in.

Rhaenyra and the other women of westeros all thought the same thing of how nice it must be. To be more than the titles that were given to them. Peter two leaned over Peter three as he whispered to Peter one; "You never told her?"

Peter one scratched his head; "Uh. Okay so I haven't exactly told my MJ the full truth yet."

"Peter," murmured Peter two with a scolding look. Peter three shakes his head; "Look you got a youth pastor in all dad mode."

Peter two rolled his eyes at him. While Peter one nodded. Michelle bit her lip as she leaned over, "You three idiots are not as quiet as you think."

"Jesus maybe bread-throwing lady should have been the hero instead," murmurs Peter three who looked away as Michelle glared at him due to the nickname. Peter one glances at Miles; "Uh, we should continue."

Miles snorted as they all might be smart but they could be so dumb. She should know from all the dumb descsion she has made.

"Yeah, you just have to look past the gills on her neck," says a random person in the group. Connor smiles imepressed glancing at Miles, "And you are?"

Miles froze when MJ spoke for her, "She's one of Midtown Science's best and brightest."

"Really?" Question Connors turning to MJ. As MJ nodded at him, "Second in her class."

"Second?" Question Miles in confusion. MJ nods with a smile on her, "Yeah."

"Sure about that?" Question Miles with amusement in her eyes. MJ nods at her, "I'm pretty sure."

A phone ringing is heard when Connors glances at them, "I'm afraid duty calls. I'll leave you in the more-than-capable hands of Miss Watson. Nice meeting you all."

A hologram appeared infront of them as MJ took a step back. "If you'd like to gather round."

When the hologram voice began to speak, "Welcome to Oscorp's tree of life. Our planet's tree of life is immense. At the Oscorp Cross-Species Division."

"Hi," exclaims MJ as Miles tries to sneak away. MJ tilts her head, "What are you doing, Regina?"

Miles softly chuckles glancing at the badage, "Oh, yeah."

MJ smiles at her; "What are you doing here?"

Miles shrugs, "I work here. I don't. I was gonna say I work here but it seems like you in fact, do work here. So you know that I don't."

"You following me?" Questions MJ. Miles laughs it off shaking her head; "No, I'm not following you, no. I had no idea you worked here."

MJ chuckles at her as her head tilted; "Why would you be here?"

Miles glances around with a smile on her face; "I just snuck in because I love science."

"You love it," murmurs MJ with her head tilting. Miles nods at her; "I'm passionate about it."

"So you snuck in," MJ pause turning to the others then back at Miles; "I have to lead this tour."

"I know," nods Miles. MJ glances at her with curiosity, "So I'll ask you more about this later. Do not get me in trouble."

"I promise you I won't," mutters Miles. MJ gives her one look as she whispers slowly; "Stay with the group."

"Are you not courting each other anymore?" Questions Viserys in curiosity as it was the past they are watching and they are fond of each other so he assumed they were together but they seem to not be together anymore.

Daemon could not help but act ignorant as he did not like she was with anyone. He is a selfish man like that. He was selfish and wanted Rhaenyra for so long but also wanted the comfort that Laena brought.

So it's true what they say you don't appreciate what you have until you lost it.

Miles frowned instantly as she did want to speak about it. Even though there was no MJ for her in her own universe; it still upset her because MJ was her first love. There is something so special about being in love for the first time. Miles turned to face Viserys as she felt her throat tighten. "She died."

MJ helded her hand knowing how much Miles must have carried that burden of her death. Miles beats herself any time she thinks about it. Peter three felt his throat tighten as well with the remembrance of Gwen entering his mind. "Their brave hearts, huh Mi."

Miles nodded at him with a soft smile in both remembrance of their love ones and at the nickname he had for her. Natasha gazed at Peter three; "You lost your version of MJ too?"

Peter three moves to glance at the redhead; "Her name was Gwen."

Both Peter two and Peter one wrapped their arms around Peter three for comfort. Baela frowned as her mother lost someone she loved and by the looks of her face she could tell it was in a devastating way. She bowed her head to both Miles and Peter three; "Sorry for your loss."

The two nodded at her and MJ felt too uncomfortable as she was there in person but she came in moments before her death.

MJ walks to the group gripping the clipboard. "All right, guys? I'm gonna take you to the bioreactor room now."

Miles walks backwards when she bumps into a man wearing a suit; dropping a file. "Sorry. Yo. Sorry."

Miles bends down picking up a file when she tilts her head reading 'Laboarty dnaymic; then the man put his hand to cover it taking it away from her hands. Miles slowly follows the man throught the builiding. Miles hid behind the hall noticing when the man entered a code while two men in white suits came out. In the wall beside them read; 'Biocable development unit.' Then the three men walked further down the hall.

Miles looks behind her as she walks to the door entering the code as the door unlocked and she entered it. Miles glances at the all white and clean room with machinery being active. Miles walks around, where she gazes through the glass door. The scene cuts to Miles inside the room where a bunch of spiders are in a fabricated web. Miles pulls on string as it stops the machine from moving and Miles puts her hand over her mouth in shock.

Then the machine starts to move the webs in a single line with glowing spiders on it. Dropping it all down; many fell on Miles and she shook her body in disgust. Miles started panting heavily as she tried to get all the spiders off of her. Miles slowly moves to exit.

Many cringed at the amount of spiders in the small room. Helaena leaned in curiosity as she was fascinated with any type of bugs even though many view her oddly for that. "A spider. What kind?"

"Helaena," murmurs Alicent not wanting her daughter to cause much attention to them at all. Helaena put her head down feeling the weird glances coming from Otto, her mother, and probably from any other of westeros, minus Jace as he is very kind to her.

Michelle did not really like how they spoke to her for raising her curiosity. She knew it was different times but they could not even respect her; and she did not mean it from her mother but just the way that most of the people of westeros glanced at her. Standing up she glanced at the princess; "Helaena?"

Question Michelle in confusion not remembering if that is how she pronounced her name. Helaena nodded at her. Michelle gave her soft smile while Peter one widened his eyes as it was rare for her to be so kind to others. "Come sit next to me."

"She is fine here," murmured Aegon glaring at Michelle, which caused the girl to raise a brow at him. Otto glanced at the girl that disrespected him when they first arriced; "Aegon is correct. My granddaughter is fine here."

"I didn't ask you." Michelle moved to Helaena, grabbing her hand and they moved back to where Michelle was sitting originally. Natasha leaned to Clint; "I want to train her."

"No Nat," replied Clint. Natasha glared at him then looking back at Michelle; she will train that girl. Otto was going to say something when his hand was webbed. Gwyn looked at him; "My bad man."

Miles and all three Peters laughed as they are so generous, when it comes to being vigilantes by just webbing people yet that pissed
many off. They could go around beating people up yet being webbed is crossing the line?

The scene cuts to the man in suit from before with Connors. "We received the results from the mRNA sequences this morning. They were disappointing."

Connors looks at the man, "So define disappointing."

The man in suit sighs; "Another dead end. It's the decay rate algorithm."

"And this is to be expected" spoke out Connors. The man tilts his head; "Expected?"

"You said you were close," says Connors in frustration. The man nods, "We are close, but it's gonna take time."

The man in suit raises his voice; "He doesn't have time. Norman Osborn is dying, Dr. Connors. Save him. Or we'll both lose our heads."

Peter one grimcaed in anger with just the name of Norman Osborn being mentioned. Miles glances at Peter one; "So oscorp still does not exist in your universe?"

Peter shakes his head clenching his fist. "Not that I know. But there could be variants of Norman and oscorp in general. I'm digging into it."

Peter three frown whispering to him; "Don't let the vengeance consumed you."

"Yeah, I know," murmured Peter one. Tony and Michelle looked at Peter one in curiosity as what did Norman do to him? Miles nods at him as she knows what he felt.

They all gone through certain amount of pain and at times the pain and darkness tends to win them over.

The man walks out leaving Connors in worry. The scene cuts back to Miles walking down a hall. It changes to MJ seeing her through a window walking ahead as Miles grimaces at her. Miles lightly chuckles when MJ sighs, putting her hand forward; "All right, give me the badge. Give it to me."

The scene focuses on Miles's jacket when the spider is crawling. Miles hands MJ the badage; "Sorry."

The spider bites Miles behind her neck when Miles yelps out softly as her hand reaches behind her neck. MJ glances at her in confusion as she walks back to the group. The scene cuts outside of Oscorp with Miles holding her skateboard; then to Miles slightly sleeping on the subway and her hand begins to twitch.

All the spidey people grimcaed as they remembered how bad the side effects were after the bite. Peter two tilt his head glancing at Helaena; "We never answered your question. I'm not sure what spider it is but it was experintment on. To change the way the spider originally was."

Helaena smiled at him in gratitude as she leaned back to her seat gazing at the curly hair girl next to her who was drawing. Her curiosity won her over as she peaked to the sketch book and it was small drawing everyone there but they all looked funny. She found one of her grandsire and chuckled at that.

A woman places a beer on Mile's forehead. When a drip of it falls causing Miles to start jumping and she is sticking onto the ceiling. Many people in the subway are surprised but Miles looks in shock. Miles falls on the floor. When the sound of a boy complaining makes her stand up. "Disgusting. Now I smell like beer."

Miles turned gently, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Sorry. I didn't mean to do that," Miles tries to get her hand off but the shirt stuck on to Miles' hand. "I didn't mean to, I didn't, I didn't."

"Get your hand off him!" Exclaims the same woman that put beer on her forehead. Miles gazes at her, "I'm trying to get my-"

Miles is cut off when the woman pushes her causing Miles to take the man's shirt off. The man looks at her, "Are you kidding"

"I'm sorry," murmured Miles, looking away. The woman shakes her head; "Are you freakin' kidding me?"

"Hey, get her, Ruby! Hey," says the random girl. But Miles is focused on her hand stuck on the pole. The woman tries to get her but Miles blocks it as she kicks her across. Miles looks surprised; "Omg. I'm sorry! Hey, are you all right?"

"Take her down! Come on." Many tried to get Miles but she kicks them by lifing herself up in way to block them. Some dude got Miles's skateboard. Miles shakes her head, pleading; "No, man, no. Not my board. Please, dude, don't-"

Miles didn't finish when the board was broken as she hit someone behind her. Miles twists her body up doing a flip. As Miles took down the pole and the pole is stuck in her hands she grimaced as she turned as it hit the people around her. "Sorry! Sorry. Sorry. I'm so sorry."

Miles glances around muttering apologies at the women and men who are knocked out on the floor. The pole eventually slips off Miles hand and she gazes down in wonder. The conductor's voice is overheard from the entire subway; "Coney Island, next stop. Next and final stop, Coney Island."

"Not a fun experience," murmured Peter three, remembering how embarrassing it was. For him and how he pulled a girl's shirt off leaving her in her bra. Then everything just went downhill from that; with all the constant hunger.

Miles turns to Peter three, "Makes it worse that it is in public."

Peter three snorted; "Not trying to compete but I ended up pulling a girl's shirt off."

"That is so funny," snorted Clint as he pictured the boy all red just as Miles who could not get her hands off. Clint let out a small ow when Natasha smacked him. Steve and Bruce both felt concerned about the side effects they went through.

Altough for Steve it was a bit different as he did not remember having any side effects. All he rembers how he was used as a face for the war at first before he was taken seriously as a soldier.

Scene cuts to Miles running down in the middle of the street. Then the scene cuts to Uncle Ben sitting with hand on his face. Miles' voice is heard as the door shuts. "Uh, hey. Hey. Hey. Sorry. I'm late."

Miles walks further as she is all sweaty. May walks into the dining room as she glances at Miles; "We've been so worried."

"I know. I'm sorry," starts off Miles then she hears buzzing grabbing a fly; "Watch out!"

May yells softly in shock. Then glances at Miles; "That's a fly, Miles."

Miles lets the fly go as she looks around in shock. "Yeah. I'm so sorry. I kept you guys up. I'm insensitive, I'm irresponsible and I'm hungry."

Miles places a kiss on May's cheek and hands her skateboard to her. Miles opens the fridge as she grabs a plate. "Meatloaf?"

"Drinking?" Questions May glancing at Ben. Miles mutters to herself as Ben leans to May; "I don't think so."

Miles is eating the meatloaf, holding the plate close to her. "This is your meat loaf. This beats all other meat loaf. Since when do you make meatloaf?"

"Why are you so starved?" Questioned, Daemon and many others stared at Miles in shock for how much she was eating. He could not help it as his eyes linger at her, she looks different from the Laena he remembers. She is more happy and full of life.

No doubt that it probably came from growing up in a healthier environment. Miles turns to him; "The spider bite gave certain abilities and gave me a fast metabolism."

Daemon nodded at her. Miles felt her curiosity grow as she stared at her supposed ex-husband on another life. "How did you and Laena, uh, court each other? Uh, how did you both like each other?"

Miles was not too sure on terms they meant for marriage. It was so much more complicated than it had to be. Daemon smiled in fondness; "My memory is a bit off but we gazed at each other at a ceremony, then danced and rest is history."

Miles nodded then gazed at her supposed two daughters then Rhaenyra who held fondness in her eyes. "How did you and Laena know each other?"

"We are cousins," murmured Rhaenyra with a smile on her face. She deeply missed Laena, her warrior heart, her presence overall. She truly was the sea princess that was missed. After her death everything fell down into a charade of politics all for the iron throne. She supposed her father was correct when he mentioned that the iron throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm.

Tony's eyes widened, "Wait a minute you married spidey-girl ex-husband here?"

"On her funeral too," mumured Jace which caused Baela and Rhaena to look at him in gratitude. Is not that they are not happy that they loved each other is just the way it came to be. Clint snaps his fingers; "That is just cold."

Natasha furrowed her brows pointing at Viserys and Daemon; "Wait you are both brothers?"

Miles scrunched her nose in disgust; "You married your uncle?!?!?"

MJ snorted as this not what any of them were expecting. "And you married your second cousin. How gross."

Many people of westeros tried to justify their action which just led to the avengers and the spidey team to cringe in disgust. Helaena sighs as she whispers to Michelle, "I was forced to marry my brother."

"Whatever happened, just remember that none of it is your fault." Michelle just squeezed her hand in comfort. Michelle did not know how but she needed to find a way to get the innocent girl out of that wrathful place. Hell she needs to get all the teens her age out of there to live a normal life.

Miles shudders in disgust as she holds her boyfriend's hand. Gwyn could see from his side view the way the man gazed at Miles. It angered him for many reasons; but he knew to separate the past life from now.

But the way he looks at her now? Rages him. Gwyn turned to glared at Daemon as he mouthed to him; "Look away."

Daemon glared at the boy as how dare he speak to at him that way. Rhaenyra furrowed her brows as she scold Daemon. "Do not. That is her partner and she deserves to be happy."

Rhaenyra turned as she faced the screen. With her mind drifting to many things at once.

"Something is very wrong," murmur May, glancing at Miles in worry. Ben watches Miles as he glances at May; "Yeah. Nobody likes your meat loaf; not when we can eat arroz con pollo all the time. Stop giving us your version of american food."

"I got it. Stick to puerto rircan dishes instead;" mutters May glancing at Ben. Miles takes a bunch of food from the fridges as she slowly passes her aunt and uncle. Ice cream was about to fall when May was going to reach for it but Miles caught it. "I got it."

"She took the frozen macaroni and cheese," says May in shock. Ben nods; "I noticed that."

May glances at Ben; "Why didn't you tell me you didn't like my meat loaf? You could have said that to me 37 years ago. How many meat loafs have I made for you?"

"Aunt May makes the best puerto rican dishes," says Miles with a smile on her face. MJ nodded as she remembered going to Miles' home and the way May had various of different dishes was immaculate.

"We need to visit your universe," says Peter three which caused the other two spider boys to nod. Steve whispers to his team; "Is so odd how alike they are but different at the same time."

The avengers nodded gazing at how the three versions of Peter behaved. Natasha pointed out; "The same thing with the two MJs. Completely different yet they have similar traits."

"Freaky," murmured Clint as he gazed back at the screen.

Ben stutters with his words. Scene cuts to Miles putting water over her face as she takes deep breaths glancing at herself in the mirror. Miles rubs the back of her neck as she pants and glances at herself in the mirror in confusion. Scene zooms out as Miles pulls on a string of web from behind her neck and groans in pain. Miles studies the web as the end of the side was a spider hanging on it.

The scene cuts to the next day; with the alarm going off but Miles smashed instead. Miles wakes up heading to the bathroom putting toothpaste on her toothbrush but the paste goes on the mirror instead. Miles sighs putting her brush on the mirror getting the toothpaste. Miles moves to turn on the faucet but breaks instead. Miles tries to stop but it breaks even more as things begin to stick on her hand. Miles covers the water with the towel. She moves to exit but breaks the door handle.

Miles moves to another door gently opening it as she exits the bathroom. Scene cuts to Miles sitting on her bed with one hand holding her toothbrush the other a door handle and she begins to twitch in shivers. Her head snaps to her wall seeing a spider crawling on skateboard hanging on the wall. Miles yelps moving to otherside of her bed holding her toothbrush in front as her blinds begin to rattle.

Miles gets off her bed as a paper stuck on her foot. Miles begins to type on her computer; information spider and their bites. The computer screen shows multiple pictures of spiders and spider bites. Miles types in search bar; 'Jefferson Davis spideral' the bunch was a different letter as Miles noticed the keys stuck on her fingers.

Scene cuts to Miles on the roof sitting down as she is looking at a book and the file that belong to her father. Ben walks out glancing at Miles in confusion; "Miles."

All spidey people grimance once again as the transition of becoming spider-man was so hard at first. Luke furrowed his brows; "You four all heroes known as-"

"Spider-man." The five different spider-man murmured. Three different Peter Parker spidey, one Gywn Stacy spidey, and one Miles Morales spidey. Luke fiddled with hand as he glanced at Miles; "Why were you not called spider-woman?"

Miles shrugs at the teen boy who was the youngest out of the other teens from westeros. "Because society hates women."

"True," murmured Michelle, MJ, and Natasha in agreement. Any time a woman does anything extraordinary they are discredited and even if they worked hard for it, it is ignored but if a man did what they did, it would be praised.

Miles lets out soft hmm her eyes on a paper. Ben tilts his head; "What are you doing?"

"I'm, uh. Homework," replies Miles glancing down at Ben. Ben nods; "Be careful."

"Sure," replies Miles as she glanced down at the files then a picture of Connors in the book. Scene cuts to Connors's home when a doorbell is heard. Connors opens the door revealing Miles.

Miles has her hand in her jacket as she glances at him. "Dr. Connors. Uh, you don't remember me. I-"

"The intern from the other day," finished Connors for her. Miles nods at him; " Yeah, yeah. That's right, yeah."

Connors nods at her; "I'm sure you're a very nice girl, but this is a home. I ask you to make an appointment with my office."

"I'm Jefferson Davis's daughter," cuts through Miles as she gazes around nervously. Connors pauses, turning around gazaing at Miles. "Marliya? Wait, you wanted to be called Miles."

Scene cuts to them both inside a kitchen with Connors pouring water in glass. "I'm afraid I can't help you much. I don't know why they left or where they were going."

Cup was about to fall but Miles caught it quickly. Connors looks at her in surprise; "Good reflexes."

"He does not seem evil," mumurs Aemond as he supposed his grandsire was the evil tale of Miles story. Miles turns to him; "He was not evil just uh crazy."

Otto bit his tongue as this was estranged for him but he had feeling whatever reason his alter version on screen did was like him. To succeed and see the better picture of everything. He supposed the only difference is he had to do all the work and his alter self had resources.

Also his alter self had a certain fondness of Miles. While he despites everything with the targaryen and velayron name.

"Thank you," mutters Miles as she turns, handing a mug to Connors who nods at her. "Thank you."

"I read your book." States Miles. Connors tilts his head, Miles nods; "Yeah. It's something, you know. So you really think it's possible, cross-species genetics?"

Connors nods at her; "Yes, of course. But your father and I were mocked for our theories. Not just in the community at large but at Oscorp, as well. They called us mad scientists. And then your father bred the spiders and everything changed. The results were beyond encouraging. They were spectacular. We were gonna change the lives of millions. Including my own."

Connors pauses as he gazes on the floor, "Then it was over. He... he was gone. Took his research with him. And I knew without him, I... I was angry. So I stayed away from you and your family. And for that, I'm truly sorry."

Miles bit her lips; "Say...Say it worked. Say you got it to work. Like, how much would the foreign species take over? What could the side effects be?"

Connors shakes his head. "It's hard to say, considering no subject survived. The problem was always-"

"The decay rate algorithm?" Finished Miles for her. Connors looks at him in surprise, nodding at her.

"Right." Miles walks around the counter; "Right. Can I?"

"Of course," mutters Connors. Miles takes a notebook as she begins to write and Connors walks closer as Miles shows her the notebook. Connors glances down; "Extraordinary. How did you come up with this?"

Miles shrugs at him as she uses her pencil pointing at her head then chuckles softly. Connors glances at her, "Miless, how about coming to see me at the tower one day after school?"

"Yeah," replies Miles. Connors grabs the notebook nodding at her, "Thank you."

Peter three snorted; "Maybe youth pastor is right we should brag about our intellgaince."

Michelle gazed at him, "Oh really? If I heard correctly MJ had said that Miles was second best in midtown. And since this also your story afterall, you were second best too?"

Peter three cheek's redden because he was second-best out of midtown."What do you have against me, bread-throwing lady?"

Michelle shrugs, moving back to draw on her sketchbook. "Nothing web-head, is just so easy to make fun of you."

Peter three pouted, leaning against his seat gazing at Peter one; "Why did you get a scary girlfriend?"

"She is nice lady. Peter one is lucky to have her once he tells her the truth," murmurs Peter two with his hand on Peter three's shoulder.

Peter three sighs; "Easy for you to say."

Peter one just shook his head with a smile on his face. Although he is not sure how to tell his MJ the truth. He broke his promises.

Scene cuts to Connors with setting the notebook down on the drawer. Then Connors gazes at himself in the mirror inspecting his cut arm. Scene cuts to midtown science highschool when a student girl voice is heard. "Number one, Reggie."

Shows many girls playing basketball. Some girl passes it to another girl; "Run it, buddy."

"Let's go, Reggie," called out to some girl from behind. Flash smacked the ball out of her hand; "Rejected!"

The ball rolls as it knocks out some paint spilling onto a poster some girl is doing. The girls stand up; "You did that on purpose, Flash!"

Flash walks to her midway; "No, but I should've. You better watch your back."

Miles glances at the scene, sighing walking up to the girl; "Hey."

Miles bent down picking up the spill bucket and then she stood up glancing at the girl. "All right?"

The ball heads there way when Miles leans to the right grasping on the ball. Miles sighs in surprise as she observes the ball in her hands. The girl glances at Miles in surprise and Miles gives a soft smile. Flash walks to her. "Give it up. Morales."

Miles looks at Flash then the girls when some player from the back yells out, "Come on, dude."

"Oh. One sec." Miles hands the girl her camera as Miles moves to the court with the ball in her hand. Some players raise their voices again; "Come on."

Peter three chuckled at that remembering this scene. "This was so much fun."

"It really was," murmur Miles as she remembers putting Flash in her place. Although it did turn out Flash was not as bad as she thought. She was just misguided. MJ turns to Miles, "What did you?"

Miles turns to her with teasing smile on her. "Watch."

Miles shrugs as she bounces the ball between her hands. "Why don't you take it from me?"

Miles walks in the middle when Flash walks up to her. The same player's voice is heard; "That's right, Flash. Take it."

Miles puts her arm out with the ball. "Go ahead. Take it."

Flash moves to get it but Miles moves the ball to her other hand. Flash tries again but Miles moves to her other hand with her arm in the air. Flash looks frustrated and she tries again but Miles swings the ball around Flash who turns. Miles bounce the Flash's back as the ball is back in her hands. Miles smiles as she looks about to Flash but curves it. Miles puts the ball in front of her. "Just take it."

Miles sighs plcaing her other hand to cover her eyes. "All right, how about this? All right?"

Miles turns her body with her hand still covering her eyes. "How about that?"

Many barked out laughing seeing the frustration Flash faced. Rhaenys looks at her; "How do you do that?"

Miles glanced at her; "My senses are heightened. I have this spidey sense which helps me during dangerous situtaion but this was such my reflexs being sharpened."

Rhaenys nods at her. Tony snorts as he puts a hand on Steve; "Don't even try to lecture them about bullying capsicle."

Steve sighs but nods as he gazs back at the screen.

Flash moves to grab the ball but can not. Flash places both her hands on the ball but could not pull it off Miles' hand. Some players' voices cut through; "Come on, Flash. Flash, stop playing, dude. Take it from her!"

"Come on, Flash. Take it," taunts Miles. The same player's voice cuts through. "Do it, Flash. Stop playing. Let's go, Flash."

Flash walks backwards taking deep breaths. Miles begins to bounce the ball down the floor. Scene shows player number eight; "What are you doing?"

Miles continues to bounce the ball. Flash shakes her head yelling at Miles, "All right, bring it! Come on, Morales! Come on!"

Miles runs to her pushing her down the floor, jumping as she dunks the ball through the hoop but completely bringing the hoof down. Scene cuts to the principal office with Ben sitting next to Miles. The principal looks at Ben, "Miles's behaviour is just unacceptable."

Peter three and Miles grimaced at that. Clint chuckled at that; "Busted."

Natasha rolled her eyes at him although the corner of her lips quirk up a bit. Peter two cringed; "Luckliy it was Ben. Getting in trouble and having to deal with aunt May is worse."

Miles, Peter three, and Peter one nodded in agreement. May was just overprotectvie and it made sense why she was. Peter one softly smiles as his aunt May and uncle Ben did not want kids yet they took him and gave him a loving home. They taught him so much and nothing will erase all the love and memories he has for them.

Miles shudders; "May is really scary at times."

Scene cuts to Peter talking to Ben as they walk down the school hallway. "They won't make us pay for the backboard."

Ben stops her; "I don't care about the backboard. Was that true?"

"What?" Miles looks at Ben in confusion. Ben stops in his tracks glancing at Miles; "What I heard in there just now. Did you humiliate that girl?"

"Yeah, I did," sighs Miles as she glances around. Miles glances at him; "But-"

"But what?" Ben interrupts her. Miles shakes her head in frustration. "This girl deserved it."

"Did she?" Ben questioned her. Miles nodded, muttering soft 'yeah.' Ben looks at her; "Is she the kid that hit you? Is she?"

Miles sighs and nods at Ben, "Yeah, yeah, but-"

Ben interrupts her; "So all this is about getting even. If so, I guess you must feel pretty good about yourself now, right? Am I right or wrong?"

Miles shifts in her position as she sighs looking down. Ben nods, "Yeah, I thought so. Well, thanks to this little escapade of yours I had to change shifts at work so you have to pick up Aunt May tonight at 9:00. Understood? Is that understood?"

Miles nods glancing up at Ben. "Yeah. Yeah."

Ben nods at her; "Okay, good."

Corlys could not help but hate how his daughter had other people to raise her. He knew they were different people. But all this just made him wonder did he do a good job being a father to his son and daughter?

Michelle hands Helaena a piece of paper where she is smiling at when the spider reappeared with Miles in the bathroom. Helaena gripped the paper with much love. "Thank you."

Michelle nods at her then turns back to her sketchbook. Even though she teased the web-head she wanted to draw a picture of his Gwen but did not know what she looked like. She was going to draw five spidey together instead. But will go back to draw that picture of Gwen for him eventually.

Miles leans against her seat; "That was not that bad."

As she had it worse seeing her apparent past life, from dying to the watcing her parents leave. Which meant she learned about their deaths.
