[3rd POV]

Lights flashing around the room accompanied by Rock music as the crowd is cheering for the band that's performing.

The song closed with an energetic drum solo before the crowd erupted in cheers once the solo ended.

Mc: "Give it up for the Mary Janes!!"

Amongst the crowd are two teenagers. One is wearing red shirt pants and glasses and one with a sling bag and a white hoodie with the hood up covering his face.

Y/n: "I don't get why I have to come here."

Peter: "Come on, lighten up! We're just here to let loose."

Y/n: "I can let loose when I'm painting something."

Peter: "And then what? Get chased by police?"   

Y/n: "Beats staying here."

Peter: "You gotta socialize more dude!"

Y/n: "Who the hell am I gonna talk to?"

Peter: "I don't know man just-, just give it a try."

Y/n then looked to see the band's blonde-haired drummer hugging a dark man before kissing him on the cheek

Peter: "So you haven't got over it yet. Tell you what, I'll just go there and congratulate a friend and we'll be on our way."

Y/n: *sigh* "Better make it quick."

Peter: "I will" *aloud* "Hey, MJ!"

Y/n: "and I'm regretting this already."

Y/n and Peter made their way to the Mary Janes as Peter went to their red-haired singer.

Peter: "Hey, that was awesome back there."

MJ: "Thanks, glad you enjoyed it"

MJ then looked behind Peter and saw Y/n standing to the side as he looks around trying to occupy himself

MJ: "So who's your friend?"

Peter: *looks over* "Oh him? That's Y/n, he's shy around new people."

MJ: "Do you mind if I talk to him?"

Peter: "Sure, to be honest, he needs someone to talk to besides me."

MJ: "Then let's hope I can help him out."

MJ and Peter then went over to Y/n before tapping his shoulder, gaining his attention.

Y/n: "Hmm? Done already."

Peter: "Not quite, Y/n, This is Mary Jane Watson. MJ this is Y/n."

MJ: "Hi, I'm Mary jane but my friends call me MJ."

Y/n: "So I've heard."

Y/n then let down his hood before putting his hand out as MJ shakes it formally.

Y/n: "I enjoyed your performance."

MJ: "Thanks, we've been getting lots of gigs lately and our drummer is doubling her practice time to get everything right. Like a new spark has lighted something inside her."

Y/n: "That's cool, I guess."

???: "Oh, is that him?"

The three then looked behind them and saw the same man with the drummer walk over to them.

???: "You must me Y/n, Up top!"

Y/n grabbed his raised hand before shaking it strictly.

???: "Oh, I'm Miles by the way. Miles Morales."

Y/n: "Pleasure to meet you, Miles."

Miles: "So how'd you like the show?"

Y/n: "It's cool, though I don't see myself enjoying this kind of music, it's a nice change of pace though."

???: "Y/n?"

Y/n: "How do people keep recognizing me? Am I famous or something?"

Y/n turned to see the blonde drummer with a surprised expression.

Y/n: "Ohh..."

Miles: "Gwen! You were amazing back there!"

Miles went over and hugged Gwen before turning back to Y/n.

Peter: "Hey you must be tired. Come on let's find somewhere to sit."

MJ: "Oh uhh...ok!"

Miles: "Y/n this is my girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. She's a drummer for her band."

Gwen: "Hi, hey babe can you get me some water? I forgot to grab some before coming here."

Miles: "Oh sure thing. Be right back!"

Miles then left the two as they stared at each other in awkward silence.

Y/n: "You shouldn't have made him leave."

Gwen: "Why are you here?"

Y/n: "I here with a friend, said he wants to meet someone here."

Gwen: "Of course, not like you're here to see me anyways."

Y/n: "What's with the hostility all of the sudden?"

Gwen: "In all of my gigs only now did you come, and it wasn't for me!"

Y/n: "Why are you so pissy? I thought you don't need my attention since you have your 'boyfriend' for that. Honestly, what do you see in him?"

Gwen: "At least he was there supporting my dream!"

Y/n: "I got you those gigs before, so how is he any better?"

Gwen: "He actually watched the gig, not out doing whatever it is you do."

Y/n: "I keep telling you, there was a robbery on my way so there was some delay. Not everything has to be about you."

Gwen: "And you think everything has to do with you!!?"

Some people are watching from the side, wondering about the loud argument while others record the fight.

Gwen: "I didn't care about the number of shows that you got us, all I wanted was to see you watch me, to really show that you actually support me."

Y/n: "So I guess you're happy with the way things are now, huh?"

Gwen: "Yeah, I am! And I don't ever want to see you again!!"

Y/n: "Fine!"

Y/n then put his hood up before storming out of the event. As Y/n was walking, memories of Gwen's words began playing in his head from their relationship.

Past Gwen: "You're scared of being alone are you?"

He continued walking as he turned a corner while the memory kept playing in his head.

Past Gwen: "In this big of a world you just want a place to belong, a place to go back to."

Y/n then began brisk walking, passing by the other pedestrians, and crossed the street, however, he failed to notice the traffic light was still green.

(~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~)

 He only noticed a vehicle coming towards him at high speed, Y/n turned in time to see a truck about to run him over as time seemed to slow down for him.

Gwen: "Then you can come back to me, i-if you want. I promise I won't ever leave you alone again."

People watched in horror as the young teen was about to get run over as he just stared at his demise, his shocked expression turned one of coldness as he turns to run at the upcoming truck and jumping on the truck's grills before bouncing to the sidewalk, dodging with style.

Y/n landed on all fours as he looks around him and sees people with their phones out as they record his stunt. Fearing that they might find out his identity, he pulled his hood down further to hide his face before running from the scene. He cuts to an alley before wall jumping to the adjacent walls and grabbing onto the edge of the roof.

Once he made it up, he began free running, jumping from roof-to-roof while parkouring through obstacles in his way. Y/n then jumped down grabbing on the fire escape ladder to catch himself before dropping to the ground.

Y/n faced a wall behind him and noticed one of his paintings, it was one with Gwen having the time of her life as she practiced her drum solo. It was something that hits deep inside his heart, one made by a broken promise.

(~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~)

Before he could mope any further, he sensed a threat cornering him in the alley. He fished for his mask before putting it on and facing his opposer. There standing in front of him is a very tall and large man accompanied by some well-dressed gangsters accompanying him.

Y/n: "Oh my god..."

Big man: "So you're the little kid that's been messing around with my business."

Y/n: "What are you talking about? I never ruined any buffets. Who are you anyway?"

Big man: "I am known as the Kingpin and you are about to be dead."

Y/n: "Has anyone told you, you're built like a fridge? Cause Damn..."

Kingpin gestured to his lackeys to attack Y/-n, so they approach him slowly

Y/n: "I gotta ask how do you fit in doorways? Let alone your car?"

(~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~)

The gangster on Y/n's right threw a large hook at him but Y/n ducked under his attack before deflecting the other gangster's attack as he repositions himself.

Y/n jumped of the wall before throwing a superman punch to the gangster's face knocking him out before cartwheeling into a kick to the other's chest before doing a crescent kick to the side of his head taking him down also.

[Y/n's POV]

Y/n: "Is that the best you guys got?"

The large shadow then loomed over me when I boasted, I turned around and saw the big Kingpin standing right behind me.

Y/n: "Oh...I completely forgot about you."

(~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~)

Kingpin then pulled his arm back giving me enough time to roll away from his punch, and good thing I did cause his bare fist alone caused the ground to crack.

He stood up again before throwing a large swing at me causing me to jump and stick to a wall to avoid his attack.

Y/n: "Okay...bit off more than I could chew, time to jump to a different dimension and lay low."

As I fumble to find my dimension hopper, a portal opened on the wall I was sticking to, suddenly forcing me to battle with the portal for my arm.

Y/n: "Not now wall! Can't you see I'm fighting someone?"

I then heard a cocking sound (~!!!!!~) I turned around and saw Kingpin is now holding a gun and is pointing it at me.

Y/n: "On second thought, going through a portal of unknown origin doesn't seem so bad anymore."

I dodged a couple of Kingpin's shots before diving headfirst into the portal, luckily closing before any bullets got through.

A familiar sight, dimensions, or earths are displayed through a web-like pattern is shown around me as I began Glitching in and out of existence before getting shot out of another portal and into a random earth.

I ricochet off of streets and buildings until I landed on a gravel rooftop. I couldn't stan up or look at my surroundings since I keep glitching out of reality, so I fumbled for my hopper and slap it on my wrist as quickly as I could to stabilize my atoms

Y/n: "WoOAaHh! Woah...phew. Safe, safe."

Once I regained control of my bearings, I looked around Times Square and noticed that it's different from my Times Square which confirmes that I am indeed not on my earth.

Y/n: "Ok, what Earth did I travel to? *looks at wrist* Earth 1610...never been here before. Let's see if your spider-man can give me some clues."

I walked to the edge of the roof and look at one of many electronic billboards in Times Square specifically about the news about their spider-man, and wouldn't you know it I looked closely at the headline of the news.

"Spider-man is dead"

Y/n: "Well there's a first time for everything I guess"
