Peter grabbed ( Y/N ) and they continued the chase, meeting up with Gwen and the others. To say ( Y/N ) was pissed was an understatement, 'cause she was beyond it.

Instead of having to hold onto Peter, she was now flying in the air — glowing hands and everything. And unfortunately, Gwen did not forget the nickname glow-stick to ( Y/N )'s annoyance.

"Miles!"

The trio spotted Miles who fell onto a taxi with a hard thump before getting back up and shooting a web in the air. All of them frowned in confusion, assuming he didn't plan this out and was just doing his own thing — which was usually the case, but that's just Miles.

"Where does he think he's going?" Gwen questioned.

"I don't think he planned this out," Peter stated.

"Yeah," ( Y/N ) sighed.

"Hey, we'll get him back," Peter reassured.

"Mhm."

They were eventually joined by Jess, who was down below on her motorcycle. Gwen and Peter jumped around on some trucks and buses to get besides her. "If I haven't said it before, you're a terrible mentor."

Gwen moved over to another bus, shooting a web at Jess's motorcycle and swung her right at Miles, who dodged it and shot two webs at her, sticking the woman to a nearby vehicle.

On top of a truck, Peter came to join her with a smirk on his face. "He did just beat you, so I'm not a terrible mentor!"

"You're both equally terrible! Does that settle it?" Miguel snapped at them from a few feet ahead.

Miles ended up on a train headed upward, trying all he could to stick onto it, but it wasn't working. The faster it went, Miles couldn't keep hold of his web. Eventually, it snapped off and he nearly fell off but caught himself and stuck onto the train with his hands.

From below, he saw part of the train being torn by claws. It was Miguel. He clawed his way through the train and was now walking on all fours to reach Miles.

"What are those? Claws!" Miles asked, backing up. "Dude, are you sure you're even Spider-Man?"

"Are you? Who do you think you are, really?"

Miles looked away, panting for breathe; a look of stoic determination forming on his features. "My name is Miles Morales."

He let go of the train and flew down towards Miguel, kicking him in the face, causing the man to lose some grip and fall back a little.

"I was bitten by a radioactive spider," he continued as Miguel shot a bright red web at him, tying him up. "And I'm pretty sure you know the rest, jerk!"

Miles swung down and threw a ball of web at him, escaping his web. He was now in a tunnel full of busy traffic. He landed on a pedestrian's car, who looked at him with wide eyes. "Sup, man?"

Just then, Miguel camp right at him, throwing him around, landing on a different vehicle and pinning him down. "You don't get it! You're an anomaly!"

"I'm not! If you let me go home!" Miles yelled.

Another vehicle came right at them, causing Miguel to lose grip of Miles. Miguel landed in front of a car window, where a woman pointed where Miles was headed. "Snitch!"

The two Spider-Men landed back on the train. Miguel was about to attack Miles, but Miles jumped back with his back landing against the train. "Everywhere you go, you're an anomaly!"

Miguel landed on top of Miles, trying to keep him from escaping but Miles fought back — hitting him in the face a few times  which got him a chance to fly up. The two of them fell back down, Miguel lower than Miles, using his claws to hold onto the trains.

"You're the original anomaly!"

Just then, Miles began glitching once more. Eventually, Gwen, Peter and ( Y/N ) found them, joining them on the train from behind. "Miguel!"

"The spider that gave you your powers wasn't from your dimension!" Miguel continued. "It was never supposed to bite you! There's a world out there with no Spider-Man to protect them because it big you instead. You're not supposed to be spider-man!"

Miles couldn't accept it, he knew — he believed deep down he was spider-man. "No! You're lying, I'm spider-man!"

Miles turned around and shot two webs at Miguel, but he was able to quickly move them aside and continue crawling over to Miles, pinning him to the ground. "You're a mistake!"

Miguel's mask disappeared from his face, looking right at Mikes. "If you haven't been bit, your Peter Parker would've lived."

From behind, ( Y/N )'s eyes widened in disbelief. It all made sense;  it was all painted right in front of her, the spider, the subway, running into Peter. A few tears flew behind her from the wind pushing against her. Of course, the guy she fell in love with was the reason for her and her uncle's demise — how ironic.

"Instead he died, saving you two," Miguel went on. "He would've stopped the collider before it ever went off, the Spot wouldn't exist, and none of this would've happened. And all this time, I have been the only one holding it all together!"

"Miguel, go easy on him!" Peter yelled.

"Miguel, that's enough!" Gwen added.

"This isn't what we talked about!"

Miles and ( Y/N ) both looked at them in disbelief, with a mix of betrayal and confusion. Miles tries lifting his head a little to look at them. "You talked about this? You knew... you — you all knew."

"I — I didn't how to tell you," Gwen sighed.

"That's why you never came to see us,"

The feeling of regret washed over Peter and Gwen like a wave, looking down, away from Miles and ( Y/N ). "Miles! It's for your own good!"

"Who decides that?! I'm not a kid, Gwen!" Miles yelled.

"That's exactly what you are," Miguel stated. "You're just a kid who had no idea what he's doing!"

Miles placed a hand on Miguel's shoulders, spying electric sparks coming out from his fingers. A smirk formed on his featured, looking below him before his eyes drifted back to Miguel.

"Yeah, well? I did lore hundreds of spider-people away from your little clubhouse," Miles informed him.

Miguel gasped, turning around to see an army of spider-men all crawling up to them, clambering at one another to reach the top where they were. Gwen, Peter and ( Y/N ) looked down below with pride.

"I guess he did plan this out," Peter smiled.

"I knew it," ( Y/N ) muttered, looking back up.

"And, I'm about to do this," Miles added tightening his grip on Miguel, more electric sparks coming from his fingers, forming over Miguel's suit. "Everyone keeps telling me how my story's supposed to go. Nah, imma do my own thing."

He outstretched his hands and sent Miguel spiraling back towards the other spider-men as he desperately tried to hold back onto the train, only holding onto it at the very ends. As Miles stood up, he looked down at ( Y/N ), his eyes red from fighting back tears.

"Goodbye, ( Y/N )," Miles let go of the web, free falling down to Neuva-York.

( Y/N ) tried reaching out to him, letting go of what she was holding onto to keep her from falling, but was caught by Gwen. "Miles!"
