A new comic drops alongside the rest titled "Ultimate Spider-Man #4" recreating the cover of Spider-geddon #3
earth 42
In the streets of Brooklyn, some Hydra trucks were passing by patrolling the streets, without anyone noticing. Miles-1610 poses in camouflage mode, making sure that he and his companions, Prowler and Miles-42, are not discovered. "Well, they're gone," says Miles, turning to see them deactivating their camouflage. "It's been three times that I've seen guys like that pass through these streets, and what the hell are they carrying in those trucks?" asks Miles-1610
"robots, giant hydra robots" answers Miles-42 "robots huh?" says Miles-1610 "well, leaving aside the robots, when exactly will the reinforcements arrive? Because I honestly doubt that we can stay here for long without someone not realizing that we are here"
"They will arrive at any moment, you just wait" answers Aaron-42
"Ugh well, I just hope it doesn't take too long, I don't think we can be out in the open for that long" says Miles-1610, turns around and goes to sit next to Miles-42
A moment of silence later, Miles-1610 says "uh hey, if you don't mind me asking..." he says pointing to the object in his hands, which from the angle at which he can't see well.
"It doesn't bother me," Miles-42 answers, turning to look at him
"I can see?" says Miles-1610
"Yes, no problem," Miles-42 answers, handing him the photo of him and Gwen-42. Miles takes it and studies it for a while, secretly wishing he could have a similar one (oh poor thing, if only he knew)
"And what do you think?" asks Miles-42
"It's... Strange, to say the least, like... I don't know, strange" answers Miles-1610, returning the photo "I thought they would be a little more different but... Except for the hair, they are the same"
"yeah, I guess they had to look similar right?" Miles-42 says saving the photo, Miles-1610 nods
"Hey," says Miles-1610, "while we were at your uncle's apartment you said you weren't really sure it was you and her"
"That's right" Miles-42 answere
"If you say that I can assume, that...Did you two get into a fight or something?"
Miles-42 thinks about it for a moment before answering, he would be the second person to find out that Gwen discovered his identity, like the Prowler, really the idea of telling his entire story to Miles-1610 was not very to his liking. , but remember that Miles-1610 first told his story to him, telling him his entire life, from the bite to his fight with the spider society, and they were also the same person, if anyone other than Gwen or Starling could understand it, it was he
"no, we fought, she..... When I started with this, at first I didn't want to be a hero or fight for people, I just wanted to help my mom with the bills to prevent her from working twice as hard of what he already did" says Miles-42 while Miles-1610 pays attention to him
" but always deep down I... I felt the need... A strange emptiness, I don't even know how to describe it, but whenever I saw problems I felt the need to run and help, but... If I tried to act superhero would most likely end up dead, after dad died, that strange need to help just didn't seem to leave me, so Uncle Aaron came with an offer, to become the new Prowler"
Miles-1610 frowns 'if the spider had never bitten me, Uncle Aaron I wouldn't have died, then... If he was supposed to be Spider-Man, then I...' Miles-1610 thinks
'You can't know Miles, what's done is done' answers the voice
"ok" says Miles-42 drawing his attention again "like I said, at first I only did it for the money, but over time I couldn't resist and after I finished some work for my uncle, I would sneak out at night to help people, over time I began to delve deeper into the life of a hero, meeting others, Aaron was not very convinced to let me continue with that, but I managed to persuade him to let me"
"I... I've never liked secrets and lies, so... I really didn't like lying to Mom, Gwen, and even George at all"
"George?" asks Miles-1610
"He's Gwen's father" answers Miles-42
"Oh"
"Yes, well," he says, turning to the topic, "I wanted to tell them everything, especially Gwen, she... She wasn't just my girlfriend, she was... She's my best friend, I've known her since she was a baby, for, well, now that our parents were friends from work, I... I've always been there for her, and she's always been there for me, when her mother, Helen, died, she and I became closer than we already were, we trusted each other, but I broke their trust," says Miles-42, shuddering at the memory of Gwen crying in front of him
"Tonight, before I met you, she and I were supposed to meet, but I was... Careless and didn't realize that she was behind me, when she turned on the light it was already too late... I never saw her." I had seen that, that mixture of sad and angry, it was... A little scary, almost as scary as it was to hear mom scolding me, heh, she did get really angry, because, I mean, who wouldn't?, that a person who you have known so intimately, who you have trusted with all your secrets, who you would think would never cheat on you, kept something like this from you, who wouldn't be angry?"
Miles-1610 guarda silencio, la forma en la que Gwen-42 reaccionó ante las mentiras de Miles-42, se oía igual, de como se sintió el cuando se enteró de que Gwen le había mentido 'conozco bien ese sentimiento'
"I... The last thing I wanted was to hurt her, but I did it to her, I just... I just wanted to protect her, I wanted her to be safe, if something happened to her I... I don't know if I could live with that" Miles- 42 grabs his head, sniffling freely "s-sorry Gwen"
Miles-1610 thinks about everything Miles-42 has told him
It sounded almost similar to what happened between him and Gwen, he wondered if Gwen actually also feels the same way as Miles-42
If she is also sorry for hurting him
Miles-42 gets up and wipes his face of tears "I... Look I know what you've been through and now you know what I've been through, but I still think that... If you have the chance to fix things with your Gwen "Take it, I'll just tell you that"
Miles-1610 looks at him and nods and they both look into the Brooklyn dusk again
In another place on earth 42...
"Well, then he went out and crashed into a column, and then he continued this same path" says Spider-noir "if Margaret's machine is correct then he must have been responsible for that accident over there" he says pointing to a taxi with the windshield smashed and a bus with the front windows broken, and hydra soldiers interrogating some citizens
"Okay, let's say he was in a hurry and while swinging he crashed into that bus, Gwen, how far should we be from Miles' house?" asks Spider-Byte
"a few streets away, if Miles doesn't know he's not in his universe his first thought should have been to go home" deduces Spider-woman "so that's where we're going now" says Spider-woman jumping from the roof where they were being followed by the rest
A moment later they arrive at the Miles-42 building, Spider-india peeks through the door to make sure that he is alone, "clear" says Spider-india
Spider-Byte nods and activates a machine, in which Miles is seen falling to the ground exhausted
"I made it, heh, I'm home" says Miles in the hologram
"Move forward, we need to know where he went" says Spider-woman
Spider-Byte fast-forwards the recording, to the point where Miles meets Aaron-42
"Shit, that's his uncle... Or at least his version of this universe, it doesn't matter, move on" says Spider-woman, the four of them follow the recording to the ceiling, the four of them watch as Miles looks horrified at the graffiti of Jeff's version of this land
Spider-woman can't help but shudder at the thought that if she doesn't hurry up, Miles will also make a similar one
Gwen's thoughts are interrupted when she sees an intruder hit Miles, who falls to the ground, then the projection is interrupted
"W-wait! What was that? Who the hell was that?" Spider-woman asks
"I-I'm sorry is all I could get, but... Give me a moment" Spider-Bye presses some buttons on his holographic keyboard and manages to stop the recording, there the 4 can see Miles' attacker, Prowler
"the Prowler" Spider-woman whispers "and-and is that all? There's no more? What happens next? Where did they take him?"
"Gwen relax, I'm sure he's fine, he shouldn't be far away" says spider-india
"pav is right Gwen, Miles must have fled, he must be around here" says spider-byte
"That's right, tell me, you know him best, where do you think he could have gone?" spider-noir asks
Spider-woman thinks for a moment until she says, "I know where I could be, come follow me" she says jumping off the building, followed by the others
"Here we go, again" says somewhat tired Spider-India
elsewhere
Miles-1610 and 42 sit calmly on the roof of the building, both silent, Miles feels bewildered, what Miles-42 told him about his situation with Gwen-42 only reminded him of what happened with Gwen-65, Miles-42 felt sad, for having lied to and hurt his Gwen, and he couldn't help but wonder if his Gwen... That is, Gwen-65 felt as bad as him
Had she really always been interested in him? Or was he just another guy in tights for her?
Although he was still hurt by everything that had happened in the last few hours, he really hoped that she would take him as her friend, since with his words at the Williamsburge bank building he had dismissed the idea that we would ever be more than friends, although that didn't stop him from getting a little jelaous(well, so jealous that he wouldn't be surprised if Gwen didn't notice)about Hobie, since in his opinion, his words were those hints about women that people talk about
Although despite being hurt, he was still angry too, because like the idiot in love that he is, he was literally going to leave everything, his New York family, his people, everything to be able to study physics and find a way to see her again, who Could I know how long it could have been like this? Spending day and night, not eating and not talking to anyone, just so he could find a girl who could see him at any time, but she just decided not to
At least I could have come back, to say goodbye, to tell him that I wouldn't come back, so he could move on with his life, find another love of his life, have a girlfriend, get married, have children, grow old and die
It's not like he was asking for much, was he?
"Hey Miles! We're here!" Miles-1610's thoughts are interrupted by Starling's voice who is accompanied by the remaining heroes of Earth 42
"Oh? Oh, Tiana, Bucky, Clint, they're here" says Miles-42 approaching them
"Of course we are here, we wouldn't let you do this alone" says the Winter soldier approaching the 2 Miles "and I see that Starling, I wasn't lying, he is... Identical to you" he says inspecting Miles from head to toe
"Tell me, it's like having a twin" says Miles-42
"And it's just you? What about the others?" asks Aaron-42
"You should.... Oh there they are" says Starling
Daredevil, Falcon Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Bombshell land alongside the other heroes
Miles-1610 opens his eyes in surprise
'h-hey... I'll be fine.... Just hold me... I'll be... Fine'
Miles keeps seeing her, she looks so similar... It's like seeing her again...
'Basically yes, you are my only friend, so yes, it is for you'
"Hey, are you okay? Or do you see something you like other Miles?" bombshell asks
"yeah, are you okay buddy? You look... pale" says Miles-42
"uh, yes-yeah, I... I need a moment" Miles-1610 leaves to a distant place
'Just don't see her again, it's not her... It's just her... It's not her' Miles sits in a secluded part of the building, while he keeps repeating 'it's not her, it's not her, it's not her'
"Hey, is everything okay?" Miles-1610 looks up to look at Miles-42
"Uh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine," he says while wiping a tear from his face
"Look, I don't know what's wrong with you right now, but we can't stay out in the open for too long, we have to go to Fisk Tower now"
"Well, well, yes you're right...." his spider sense activates, while daredevil begins to hear a sound of something approaching
"Is everything okay or...?" Miles-1610 and daredevil interrupt him shouting in unison
"careful!" everyone turns to see a missile that is about to hit, everyone moves quickly Miles-42 activates his mask and everyone quickly jumps to the other building
The building explodes but fortunately everyone manages to cover themselves in time, Miles-1610 puts on his mask and heads to the burning building. He tries to find anyone alive, but only finds a man who was crushed by a wall, dead
"No, nonono" says Spider-Man, leaving the man on the floor
Before he can continue lamenting he is interrupted as a light closes on him, and on the other heroes "attention, secret avengers!" says a hydra soldier in a loud voice "this will be your first and only warning, surrender now or we will open fire to kill"
"How the hell did they find us?!" asks Aaron-42
"I think it's thanks to this" says Daredevil, removing a tracker from one of Starling's wings
"Really, Tiana? Damn, you could have checked your things properly," Prowler says. "Now we have them right on top of us"
"Hey, it's not like I'm checking every two seconds to see if some idiot put a tracker on me or something..."
"Okay leave that for another time, now we need to get out of here" says Falcon
"Exactly," says Spider-Man, appearing out of nowhere next to Prowler, making him jump in surprise. "We have to get rid of these guys soon, the spider society is here," he says, pointing out how some Spider-men begin to attack the Hydra soldiers and AIM
"which....?" bombshell asks
"A long story, the summary is that they want to capture me and prevent me from saving my father, don't even ask the reason" says Spider-man
"alright, then we attack these guys equally, we take Miles-2 to fisk tower, and he returns to his universe" says winter soldier "alright, then, avengers...!"
in another part of earth 42...
Spider-woman and her team finally reach their destination, the Williamsburg bank building, when they land, Gwen signals them to stay where they are, takes off her mask and approaches the counterpart of the ledge where Miles and her They sat in their universe, unlike the other one, it is almost destroyed, with cracks and some graffiti
Gwen walks to the edge and asks "Miles?" When she sees the bottom part, she doesn't see anyone, disappointed she gets up and goes to her friends
"is there?" Spider-India asks, Gwen just gives him a sad look in response and continues walking ignoring the others
"Gwen? Maybe we should..." Spider-byte is interrupted when Gwen hits the dome leaving a small crack, Gwen leans on one arm on the dome
"I just... I just need to think, give me... give me a moment" Spider-byte and Spider-india remain silent, except Spider-noir "Gwen, I think we should try to look somewhere else, or meet up with the others," says Spider-noir
"Yes, don't be discouraged Gwen, I'm sure he's fine" says Spider-India.
"really pav? in this mess of a city?" He says, pointing to Earth 42, "Yes, I know he's here, but I very, very much doubt that he..." Gwen is interrupted by an explosion in the sky loud enough to attract her attention, in the distance she sees Starling and Falcon fighting some soldiers with jet packs. As the four see this, Gwen's spider sense activates, making her lose focus on what was in the sky, then Peter B. calls Spider-byte's watch
"Peter, what the hell is this...?" Gwen is interrupted by sounds of gunshots and explosions in the background
"oh, hey hi Gwen, guess what, we found.... *sound of gunshots* hey! point that somewhere else! like I was saying, we found Miles, but.... hell, Miguel and others found him too "I guess you could see that big explosion in the sky, right?"/p>
"Well, it wasn't exactly little Peter," Gwen answers
"Well, there we are, you better hurry up, it's very difficult to know... who are the good guys and the... is that daredevil over there? Anyway, come quickly" Peter says, hanging up the call
"Alright, you heard it, let's get out of here, Gwen... Gwen? Where are you...?" Spider-byte sees Gwen already heading to the site of the fight "oh the things we do for love, right?" says Spider-byte "you better hurry up, Pav" she says as she and Noir jump after Gwen, while Pav was barely putting on his mask
"And here I thought this was easy," he says, jumping behind them
Spider-man dodges and jumps on top of some Hydra soldiers and then shoots them with electricity against the floor making them jump "okay, Miles, concentrate, this... is almost like that... that vision when I was... there" small images They flash through his mind about the vision he had a few hours ago, giant robots, robots with Prowler swords in the distance fighting
"Well, if that vision was correct then... I must stay close to My counterpart" Spider-man is suddenly attacked by some goblinoids, some grab him by the clothes but he quickly hits them and shoots electricity that bounces between them leaving them unconscious
"Don't be so rough with them" says Prowler with a distorted voice "they are just victims here, they are police officers injected with the green goblin serum" between the two they begin to fight them, hitting them everywhere
"Who the hell would be so cold to do this to these people?" Spider-man Question
"Who? No one more and no less than Norman Osborn and Doc ock, they don't have the heart to stop and think about whether it's right or wrong, they used a... kind of drug combined with the green goblin serum. .. and the police who didn't follow his orders... well, they became his lab rats" Prowler replies "Hey, bombshell! How about a little fire, a little fire here?" Bomshell turns to see him and makes gestures with his hands throwing charges towards them "with pleasure guys!" These arrive at the goblinoids making them fly, to be picked up by Starling and Falcon "you take them to F.E.A.S.T, we will continue with these" says Winter Soldier
on the other side of the battlefield Spider-woman-65 finally reaches the battlefield and sees the secret avengers fight against Hydra, AIM and the spider society and the goblinoids, she presses a button on her watch and says "to me! my spider-men!"
"Sorry Gwen, but we'll need a better battle cry" Peter B. says through his watch, Spider-Woman groans at this "and more original" she shakes her head and jumps towards the fight landing on top of some soldiers and Taking away another's weapons quickly, he kicks 2 more and starts looking for Miles
Spider-man continues fighting with Prowler, electrocuting and tangling some remaining Hydra soldiers and goblinoids, when his spider sense activates and his vision takes him to Gwen, she quickly also turns to look at him "G-gwen? ugh!" " Spider-man is hit by one of Hydra's giant robots, while more soldiers arrive to support him
"Miles!" Spider-woman screams but her path is blocked by Spider-man, Spinneret and Spider-ling Earth 18119, Spectacular Spider-man, Earth Spider-Man 12041, Spider-man-1048 with his anti-venom suit and Scarlet Spider, all led by Jessica Drew, who stops in front of her. "I'm sorry, Gwen, but you've come this far," he says, giving her a pleading look
Spider-woman narrows her eyes with resentment and says, "I'm even here? Oh, don't even believe that," says Gwen, about to attack them when she is interrupted by Spider-noir and the others who have just arrived. "You go with Miles, We'll take care of them" she nods and continues on her way to Miles, Gwen heads towards where she last saw Miles, but is stopped (again) by spiderling "very good, last warning Gwen, stay there"
"No, sorry but I have to go save my friend" says Gwen ready to beat him up
"Yes, I'm sorry too, but I can't let that happen, I mean, I want to, but I can't allow it, you know, otherwise the whole universe will fall apart and all that" says Spiderling, still trying to reason with her
"And that's just the problem, no universe will fall apart, there is no canon" says Gwen, starting to get angry
"wait, what?" Spiderling asks, leaving his combat pose, "what do you mean there's no canon?"
"Exactly that, everything that Miguel told us is a lot of shit"
"Let's see, wait, you could explain everything, it's just that..." Spiderling is interrupted when some AIM soldiers point at them with no good intentions "on second thought, why don't you explain it to me while we kick these guys' asses?"
Spider-woman nods and the two launch themselves at them
On the other side of the battlefield Spider-Man continues fighting against the robots, trying to enter the driver's cabin, he uses his super strength and opens it "excuse me, but I need your permission to drive a giant killer robot"
The soldier points a gun at him, but it is quickly removed by Spider-Man, grabbing his arms and throwing him at some more Hydra soldiers, knocking them down
His spider sense warns him when someone is about to hit him with a cane but he manages to intercept it quickly
"Spider-Man, I could use some help here" he hears Prowler shout as he fights against some AIM soldiers and a giant Hydra robot, which knocks down the soldiers it can but is quickly overwhelmed by the robot, which takes out a arm blade
The moment he sees the blade, Miles has small glimpses of what he obtained earlier while in the Web of Life and Destiny, small images of his counterpart being impaled in the chest by the robot
"Oh no, hold on! I'm going to...!"
"where do you think you are going?" says a Hydra soldier in a larger robot getting in his way
Spider-Man growls and begins to attack him, the robot tries to grab him but his spider sense warns him, managing to move in time, it hits his knee joints, first a kick on the right knee and then an Electricity Fist on the other
When he has him on his knees in front of him, he hits him with both fists making him fall backwards, he tries again to run towards Prowler but an arm similar to Doc's comes out of the suit and wraps around Spider-Man's abdomen and throws him to the ground
Before he can get up he is stopped by the robot's arm putting all his weight on it. His spider sense warns him in time when the extra arm tries to stab him in the head
ask-Man tries to Move but the robot doesn't allow him, he manages to see Prowler in the distance fighting as best he can against the robot, despite everything he can't help but feel... Useless
The same way he felt useless when he saw Kingpin's fist hit his Peter Parker's skull
Or when I saw his uncle Aaron bleeding to death on the floor helplessly
"No... Never again" says Spider-Man, beginning to accumulate all his energy in his fist, but unlike other times, it begins to take the shape of a sword
An electric sword
"what the hell...?" says the hydra soldier inside the robot watching as the electric blue sword forms in his opponent's hand
"Cool, right? Let me give you a taste of what he can do" Spider-Man cuts off the extra arm that was trying to stab him before
Then he quickly cuts off the arm that was holding him to the ground
Now without an arm the robot throws blows that are easily dodged, Spider-Man cuts the robot's leg and then its arm making it fall to the floor
While the pilot tries to do something to get the robot to help him, Spider-Man opens the cockpit and takes him out of it
Prowler throws a smoke bomb at the robot that was causing him so much trouble, the robot manages to be faster than him and before he can get behind him it grabs him and throws him to the ground
Since the blow was hard enough to almost knock him out of combat, Prowler lays on the ground clutching his side, the robot lands in front of him and raises its sword straight to the boy's chest
"what the hell...?" Prowler says, looking behind the robot, he turns around and sees that the robot that was previously fighting Spider-Man is heading towards him, he manages to quickly repel the blow
But he is surprised when Spider-Man appears with his sword, the robot tries to attack him, but Miles cuts off the arm where he had the sword
He quickly helps his counterpart to stand and he asks "are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm..." Prowler looks at Spider-Man's sword in surprise. "Wait, that's an electric sword? Can you do that?"
Spider-Man lets out a small laugh and answers "among other things," he says, getting into a combat pose
"I want one too" Prowler says "oh I want to have spider powers"
"Believe me, you will have them, but first, let's finish him off" Prowler nods and between the two, combining their fists, they hit the robot in the face
It retreats momentarily but Spider-Man continues hitting it with his electricity, the robot tries to defend itself but Spider-Man and Prowler manage to counter its attacks effectively
Prowler uses one of the hooks he uses to swing and throws another one at Spider-Man, both of them use it to entangle the robot's legs and make him fall to his knees. Prowler throws bombs and knives into the robot's cockpit, causing the pilot to lose concentration
Spider-Man uses the distraction to jump on the robot, it manages to see him in time and throws his fist towards him
Spider-Man quickly runs his arm and cuts the robot's abdomen causing him to fall defeated, causing Spider-Man to fall into an epic superhero pose with his sword
They both see the body of the robot lying there and bump their fists "okay, let's move, we still have to go to Fisk tower" Spider-man nods, they both head towards where the rest of the battle was, before he can start fighting, His spider sense activates and he jumps backflip in time before Vulture-42 attacks him, he uses his sticky powers to stick to his backpack where his wings are, while Vulture carries him up
"Spider-Man!" Prowler shouts as he watches them both rise upwards
"Oh well, let me guess, Vulture right? Since Spider-Man never existed here... Let me introduce myself... I'm..." Spider-Man is interrupted by Vulture who was trying to attack him
"I know exactly who you are, Miles" Spider-Man is surprised by the fact that he knows who he is and... "and yes, I also know that you are an alternate version of the Miles Morales of this dimension"
"Wait a second, how the hell do you know...?" His spider sense activates when he sees that Electro-42 charges his attack behind him, Vulture releases him and Electro fires the charge at him
"arggh!" Spider-Man begins to fall, but is quickly hit by a small sandstorm that sends him swirling towards Scorpion-42, which hits him with his tail and sends him crashing to the ground
"Seriously, can't I just take a time out of at least... Five minutes?" Spider-Man groans as he stands up
A mechanical claw sound catches his attention, and he looks up to see Ground Doc ock 42 standing in front of him
"Wait, is the doc ock male? Or was the one in my universe trans?" Spider-Man asks confused, but his question is cut short when he hears the green goblin's sinister laugh
In front of him now stand the six sinister of earth 42
"oh well, this is going to be fun"
