No matter how hard you get hit, you get up again PT. 1
*imagine that after Miles G. hits Miles the credits roll, you know*
On top of the Prowler comic falls a comic titled "Ultimate Spider-man #1" recreating the cover of Spider-man vol. 2 #21
"Where do we put it?" Aaron asks.
"There, on the punching bag, to interrogate him" answers Miles-42
After a moment Miles-1610 is tied to the punching bag, still unconscious.
"Here, put these on" says Aaron42, throwing some rubber gloves at Miles42 "to avoid a shock like the one a while ago"
Miles-42 puts the right glove on Miles-1610, but when he was going to put the left one on, a small discharge comes out of his fingers, electrocuting him.
"ow!" says Miles42 "what the fuck....?" Miles says walking away.
“Okay,” Aaron says, “what now?"
"Let's wait for him to wake up, so you said he hugged you? Right?" Aaron nods "well then you ask him, maybe this is someone else's Miles... I don't know, universe, time or whatever, talk and he can explain what the hell he's doing here" Miles-42 says.
"Well, considering you gave him a good blow, he might not get up for a while, tell me," Aaron says as he leans back on the sink, "how was your date with Gwen?" Aaron asks, the question taking Miles-42 by surprise.
"ah, well, it was good...no, in fact, it was shit, shit in every sense of the word" Miles answers, crossing his arms.
"Why? Let me guess, they broke up," says Aaron42.
"No, well, I'm not sure about that, in fact, she..." Miles-42 hesitates to tell him that Gwen discovered that he is the marauder, since it was his uncle himself who told him not to let Gwen know. "She now knows I'm Prowler," he admits as he lowers his head with his eyes closed.
"WHAT?!" Aaron shouts "how? Did you tell her? Damn kid, I told you not to let her know, it's dangerous, not only for her, but for us too..." Aaron is interrupted by Miles-42
"Yes, I know all that about the secret identity, okay?" says Miles-42, facing his uncle, "and the truth is, I would prefer that we save this discussion for another day or later, I don't know, right now," he says, pointing to the sleeping Miles, "I would like to concentrate on the guy who dresses in spandex with the logo of spider, and, by the way, it has my face on it, thank you very much!" He says walking away and climbing a beam.
"Yes, yes, okay, you win," Aaron says, turning around with his hands on his waist.
Later.....
"Who are you?" asks Miles-1610
Miles-42 removes his mask, revealing himself to Miles-1610.
"I'm Miles Morales," he says, to which Miles-1610 begins to breathe rapidly.
"But you, you can call me the Prowler" Miles-42 ends
Miles knows he's in trouble now, a good fucking problem, maybe words work...
"If I don't go home, our dad is going to die" says Miles-1610
"your dad" Miles-42 reminds him
'Well yeah, that makes sense, alternate universe Miles'
"Please" Miles begs "You have to let me go"
'maybe, but I need to know more about him' thinks Miles-42
"Why would I do that?" Miles-42 asks, carrying his glove and placing it next to Miles' head.
Miles-1610 at first feels intimidated, but little by little he regains his confidence, without Miles-42 realizing it, he puts his finger on the chain, charging some of the electricity he had left.
"Do you want to know why you should let me go?" asks Miles1610
"Surprise me" says Miles-42, challenging him
"because today I had an absolutely shitty day" answers Miles-1610
"Oh really? Did you have a bad day? Tell me, did you break up with your girlfriend?" says Miles-42 removing his glove from next to his head
Miles lets out a humorless laugh, smiles at Prowler and says
"No, I didn't break up with my girlfriend, in fact, I don't even have one, but I did see the girl I liked again, only for her to play with me, lie to me, and betray me, and of course, of course, I also fought with her.My parents grounded me and, well, then I had the best revelation in the world" he says sarcastically, shaking his head, Miles-42 looks at him in disbelief.
"Today I had the pleasant surprise of finding out that I am an anomaly" says Miles 1610
"anomaly?"repeats Miles-42 in a low voice
"yes, exactly, an anomaly, an error" says Miles-1610 with clear sadness in his voice "but not an error like an unwanted pregnancy, of course not, but a cosmic error, basically, I am the original anomaly" he says with a feigned pride "basically, I'm the reason your world is like this... Like this" he says pointing to the window "because of me, the multiverse is slowly falling apart, and oh yeah, how can I forget, my father will die inside 2 days just because I'm Spider-Man, and everyone, including people I thought were my friends, is trying to trap me to make that happen, and well, that was all decided by some idiotic vampire, who's like "Oh, these things have have to happen or else the entire multiverse will go to hell" and well, that's all that's happened to me in just five damn hours," says Miles-1610
"and I've been trying to find the perfect idiot for five damn hours, an idiot that I can use to get all my frustration out" says Miles 1610, starting to intimidate Miles-42
"And you know? You two criminals fit perfectly with what I'm looking for." Miles-42 looks at his uncle with a face of fear and disbelief.
"So? What do you say Prowler? Are you going to free me now? Or am I going to have to electrocute them?" ends Miles-1610 with an intense look
"o-okay relax okay?" Miles-1610 was surprised to realize that he managed to intimidate his counterpart
'Maybe I should add knowing how to intimidate to my list of qualities' thinks Miles-1610
"First of all, we don't want to fight, we were just trying to intimidate you to get information out of you" says Miles-42
"get information from me to... What exactly?" asks Miles1610
"Not much, really, we just wanted to know where you came from" responds Miles-42
"And why did they want to know where I come from?" asks Miles1610
"Is this a joke? Right?" He says pointing out the obvious "you can literally draw electricity from your body... I don't know, you pixelate in a weird way, and besides, you're wearing my face" he says pointing to his face
"Oh, okay yeah, those are actually good arguments" says Miles-1610
"Besides," says Miles-42, drawing his counterpart's attention, "who the hell are you calling criminals?" says Miles-42 with some anger
"Well, you two, in my universe the Prowler was a thief and other times they hired him" says Miles 1610
"Well, no in this universe, we are not criminals, we just try to help where we can, but we definitely steal." Miles 1610 frowns a little. "In our defense, I can say that it's just to help people," says Miles-42.
"Oh, so they're like....? what? Some kind of bat hood?" says Miles1610
"bat hood? You're not talking about red hood are you?" Questions Miles-42
bat hood? You're not talking about red hood are you?" Questions Miles-42
"red....Hood? What kind of...? Oh forget it, different universes, different things, *sigh*so," says Miles-1610, "don't any of you want to kill me?"
"No" Aaron and Miles-42 answer at the same time "we really don't need it" Miles-42 answers
"It's okay, and they're not criminals?" asks Miles 1610
"Again, no" answers Miles-42
Miles-1610 thinks for a moment and says, "Can you please remove these chains?"
"since you ask nicely" he nods to his uncle to help him
A moment later, Miles is free of chains and on his feet.
"Ugh, thank you, it's really good to be free" says Miles-1610, taking off the clothes he had stolen from Miles-42, without them realizing it, the two of them were standing facing each other.
"yes, there's no problem..." Miles-42 is interrupted, as a small pang begins to pass through his head, awakened by Miles-1610's own spider sense, after a moment, it deactivates
"What.... Was that?" asks Miles-1610, half stunned
"w-wait, did you feel that too?" asks Miles-42
"Yes... but what was that...?" asks Miles-1610
"what are we talking about?" Aaron-42 says he had no idea what the two Miles were talking about.
No Miles pay attention to them and they continue talking to each other.
"Wait a second, how is it possible that you felt that too? Do you have powers too?" asks Miles-1610
"Powers? No, I don't have powers, I'm completely normal, why-why?" answers Miles-42
"You say you don't have powers, if you don't have some spider power, much less a spider sense, then... that shouldn't be possible" determines Miles-1610
"spider sense?" asks Miles-42
"Well, it's practically like a sixth sense that warns me when I'm in danger, or when I meet someone who also has spider powers, but you... are a normal person"
"o-okay, that's a lot of information" says Miles-42
"unless..." says Miles-1610 as he frowns and puts a finger on his chin. "unless.....?" says Miles-42, inviting him to continue. "Yes, yes that... makes sense... but... how do you know...?" Miles-1610 said, but he did not speak to Miles-42
"Are you talking to yourself...? or...?" says Miles-42
"Miguel, he said that thanks to the spider biting me, there was a world without a Spider-Man to protect it, when the spider bit me he mixed my DNA with his, and surely, thanks to that... that "It was the reason I ended up here, and not in my universe" says Miles-1610 while still not seeing Miles-42.
"Miguel? Spider-Man? Spider? DNA? W-what?" says Miles-42 totally lost
"He said that all of us were intertwined by a... kind of invisible network... that all our destinies were intertwined... so... Jameson a moment ago said that the 6 sinisters govern this new York, right?" says Miles, stopping talking "just" and turning back to Miles-42
"Yes.....that's been like that for almost a year or so...why did it.....?" Miles-1610 interrupts him
"The Sinister 6 as far as I know... have been recurring enemies of Spider-Man... so obviously... without a Spider-Man to face... they took over New York" says Miles-1610 beginning to tie all the dots together "so if my spider sense only activates that way when I meet a spider person, not necessarily with powers, at least not yet, then that must mean that... you are you" says Miles-1610 pointing to Miles-42
"Excuse me? Am I who?" Miles-42 says with confusion
"You are... according to the canon, you are the Spider-Man of this earth, you were the one the spider had to bite all this time, you should have been Spider-Man" says Miles-1610
"w-what? How....are you so...sure about that?"
"Because if not, how did my spider sense activate?" says Miles-1610 "maybe-maybe, the spider that bit me had the canonical event of biting Miles Morales, but when the spot transported it from this universe to mine, the spider couldn't bite you... .. but in a way... it did fulfill the canonical event... because she bit me."
"and... since the spider didn't bite me, this world would do without a uh....Spider-Man?, and since there was no Spider-Man to face the sinister 6, they managed to take the city and isolate ourselves from everyone" says Miles-42 beginning to understand everything
"yes, that means" says Miles-1610
"So, if that spider had bitten me, and not you, New York might still be standing, and not about to collapse, my father... would still be alive, but he's not... .because of you?" says Miles-42 starting to clench his fist
Miles-1610 opens his eyes and rushes to correct Miles-42 "what? no, no, no, no, no. no, it's not my fault that the spider hasn't bitten you, or that your father is dead" die Miles-1610, Miles-42 relaxes a little more "if you want so badly to blame someone for this whole mess, well, you can blame the stain, or the kingpin or the doc ock, but don't blame me."
Miles-42 relaxes more because of this.....
"o-okay, fine, but I'm confused, who the hell is Miguel? What do you mean by canon? What is a canonical event?" Question Miles-42
"Well, it's a long story......no, you know what? I'll tell it to you" says Miles-1610, preparing to start telling his story
Meanwhile on earth 928...........
Miguel was in his office surrounded by screens, holograms of Miles, Gwen and the rest of his team, and spider people
"Alright! Everyone pay attention!" Miguel shouts, getting everyone's attention. "Right now, everyone here has a big problem on our hands, but it's not just a problem that... Will you shut up already?" says Miguel, reprimanding a spider-man who was playing epic music
"uhhh....sorry" answers spider-man
"well, as I said, this problem is not limited only to us, this endangers the ENTIRE multiverse, at this moment, their universes, their families are now threatened by our friend...Miles Morales" He says to which in the center of the office the hologram grows showing it in a large way, Peter Parker-1048 sees the image with some sadness
"As you know, Miles was here not long ago, we tried to get him to accept that in this job, sometimes you have to make sacrifices, that he had to let his father die and obviously, Miles refused, and... .."
"and in short, he didn't make everyone look like idiots, especially you" said Jessica drew, to which some spider-men tried to hide their laughter, Miguel just growled at that
"Yes, thanks for that Jess" said Miguel
"You're welcome" answers Jess
Miguel rolled his eyes and continued "Miles escaped, we thought he had arrived in his universe, but apparently, the go home machine detected the DNA of the spider that bit him and Miles was sent to that universe, earth 42" says while showing a hologram of Earth 42
"thanks to Ben" he says pointing to Scarlet Spider, who is now wearing a new suit (beyond suit) "we know that Gwen, Miles' friend, can now travel through the multiverse, and that she has now assembled her own team, we suppose, to help Miles save his father."
"Our mission is to neutralize Gwen's team, trap Miles and...let her father die," he says, lowering his head, to which some Spider-Mans begin to whisper and lower their heads, "look I don't like this more than you do, and... if I knew of another way to do this... I would take it... but it is what it is, it is what we have to do, if not "You agree with this, remember that none of you are here by force" he says waiting for someone to come out, no one does
"Well, get ready, we will go to ground 42 in 30 minutes" says Miguel, to which everyone begins to leave
"Well, I had no idea you made speeches, you remind me of Captain America," says Jess, approaching Miguel
"I've never done anything like this before, how was it?" Miguel says with something very very VERY small slightly resembling a smile
"not bad, although I think you should be a little more emotional, I'm just saying" answers Jess
both remain silent, until Miguel says
"You should stay" says Miguel
"what?" Jess answers, turning to look at him
"you should go home and be with your husband, this is going to be really hard, you should go"
"And let them have all the fun? No thanks" says Jess crossing his arms
"Well, I guess it was worth trying, but I should have known you wouldn't accept" says Miguel getting up
"heh, thanks" says jess
"what? why?" asks Miguel
"because you were worried, I knew that underneath all that mass of muscle there must still be some humanity, even if it was just a little bit"
"I'm not a monster, Jess" says Miguel putting his hands on his waist
"Well, if you asked anyone here, I think they would say the opposite, I mean....what the hell happened to you? I understand you were angry but.....running into a moving train at Miles? That's just extreme, Miguel."
"I......*sigh*" says Miguel turning around and putting his hand on his face
"look," says Jess, putting a hand on his shoulder, "I know that what happened to your daughter still hurts, but that's simply no excuse to treat Miles that way, and... much less Gwen," says Jess. lowering his head "just......this time, try to control yourself, don't do something you might regret"
"Yes....thank you, Jess, it's good to know that I still have a friend," says Miguel, genuinely smiling at him.
"sure, whenever you want dark garfield" she says, Miguel rolls his eyes
before he leaves Miguel says "you should stay with your family, Jess," he says making Jessica turn around and look at him "you never know when they might just disappear into your arms" Miguel says again
Jess just nods and leaves the room
In another part of spider society.....
Peter Parker from Earth 1048, was walking towards the roof of the building, trying to somehow organize his thoughts
'This is crazy! I mean, how come one day I'm fighting a fat gangster, and the next, I'm in a super society deciding the fate of, not just my universe, but everything! the multiverse!? How crazy!' Peter-1048 finally reaches the door to the roof 'okay, I need to clear my head'
When Peter-1048 opens the door, he is surprised to see that he was not the only one who needed to clear his head, since on the roof were Peter Parker from Earth 12041, Peter Parker from Earth 26496, and the Parker family. of land 18119, the 5 in a similar situation
"oh, uhhh...sorry, I was just looking....." Peter-1048 is interrupted by Peter-18119
"oh, don't worry, let me guess, this whole 'fate of the multiverse' thing is too much for your little head, so you decided to come to a place away from everyone to clear your head" Peter-18119 quickly deduced p>
"ehh, yeah, actually...I was about to ask you how you knew but, I guess you've been at this for a long time"
"yep, I actually asked that same question, I just took it back immediately" says Peter-12041
"yes, this is really... just, completely crazy, I always wonder how...?" Peter-26496 is interrupted by Peter-1048
"Did you go from fighting small-time criminals to deciding the fate of the entire multiverse?" ends Peter-1048
"y-yes, that's what I was wondering" answers Peter-26496
"Yes, I wonder the same thing, but," says MJ-18119, "come on, we all know that's not the only thing we need to clarify."
"Yes, I agree," says Anne Parker, "I think we're all having one of those super complicated moral conflicts that superheroes often have, right? You know, we all have questions like 'hmmmm? Are we really on the right side?' or 'What if Miguel is wrong and we are actually doing something wrong?' or 'Why the hell did Miguel put his face on a hamburger and not someone else's?' or... ." Anne is interrupted by her mother
"Honey, I think we all understand you" says MJ
"well, I guess that's our problem, Anne," says Peter-1048, "I don't really know if we're right, I...I haven't told anyone here about this, but...in my opinion world I know a Miles Morales, who is also Spider-Man" he says, drawing everyone's attention
"Yes, you're not the only one, I also met a Miles Morales Spider-Man in my world, he is.....really a great Spider-Man" says Peter-12041
"Yes, it is, in fact, I would say that thanks to him, I was able, finally after 11 years, to take a break, to be Peter Parker, and not just Spider-Man, in fact, I'm starting to... .and don't tell anyone, an engagement ring" says Peter as he leans against a wall
"Well, I won't lie to you, that sounds really great, in fact, I'm almost a little envious of you two, I also want a Miles Morales of my own" Says Peter-26496
"Yes, he really is... one of the best Spider-Man I have ever met, and I mean, there must be more out there, but he is..." Peter-1048 is interrupted
"special" says Peter-18119
"unique" says Peter-12041
"amazing" says peter-26496
"spectacular" says MJ
"unmatched" says Peter-1048
"yeah.....I'm sure your 2 Miles are like that, but I don't think we're talking about them" says Anne
"yeah...I mean, my Miles is all that, but this Miles.....I've heard the story of how he became Spider-Man, how.....he had to learn everything in just a few minutes. 2 days... I barely managed to balance correctly in just a year, and since he had to lose someone that quickly..... at least we were able to have some last conversations with Uncle Ben, but the last time Miles saw his uncle, he was trying to kill him, and then protecting him, that's... just having to learn everything and losing someone so quickly... god, poor guy" says Peter-1048< /p>
"Yes.....and also, he also had to lose that poor girl" says MJ
"the way she died.....my god, I can't even imagine it" says Peter-12041
everyone is silent for a moment, until Peter-1048 speaks again
"I don't think we're doing the right thing," he says, to which everyone turns to look at him.
"That is, put any of us in your situation, a spider arrives that is not supposed to bite us, our hero dies, because we were scared, because it was only a short time ago that we had powers, and then we have to submit to the pressure of to be Spider-Man, in just 2 days, and then, we discovered that one of the people we believed in, we could trust, turned out to be a villain, who by the way, has been trying to kill us for the last 2 days, only for him to later die in our arms, then we spend 1 year and 9 months trying to do our best protecting our city, only to lose a friend along the way in the most horrible way possible, and the best thing is that a crazy person arrives who has almost nothing of spider-man, and tells us that... all our suffering, all that effort, every drop of blood we release, every broken bone, every sight of disappointment in the people we love... it didn't have to happen, that We are a mistake, we should never have existed" everyone lowers their heads, sadly
"and that.....one of the people who was always with us, from the first moment we came into this world, has....has to die! Just like that!, and-and what is supposed to happen What should happen is that we just put our heads down, sit back and accept it! It's that simple!"
Peter-1048 is interrupted by lyla
"Guys, go to Miguel's office, we are about to leave for earth 42" says the hologram before disappearing.
"Look, I really hope this serves a greater good" Peter-1048 says as his black and white mask forms on his face
"Yes, me too, I hope this has a purpose" says Peter-26496
"I better have it, because if not...do you know what that means?" says Peter-1048 with the mask on
"Ah what?" Question Spinneret
"It means....we've been letting people die for nothing!" he shouts, to which everyone recoils at his outburst "and now we're going to orphan a child who never asked for any of this! We're going to make him suffer for nothing! nothing! NOTHING!"
Everyone remains silent again, Spider-Man-1048 comes out, to which everyone follows without saying more
