Another Chance

Miguel slowly started to wake up, he groaned and turned around to face his digital alarm clock that Lyla and Miles had chosen for his last birthday so he wouldn't keep using his high tech dimensional watch. He looked over at said clock to read ‘7:21 AM’ and sighed 9 minutes until the alarm would go off.

Miguel slowly raised himself from his bed and took a deep breath and ran his hand through his hair. He looked over to see the Alarm clock again and slowly reached over to turn the alarm off before it could go off at him to wake him up, and to grab the watch that was sitting next to the alarm clock and attached it to his wrist. He slowly scrolled through his watch to see what he’d need to get done today at HQ.

Miguel groaned and rubbed a hand over his face at what he saw as it was sadly his turn to make sure new recruits were up to standard and wouldn't get hurt on the field as often, he sadly couldn't palm it off to Jess or Peter… again. Cause Miguel had already managed to do that the last 5 times which he’s honestly more surprised he got away with it for this long. Don’t get Miguel wrong he loves kids….

Kids not teenagers.

Especially teenagers who aren’t his and who absolutely have a death wish or make it their personal mission to annoy him. Miguel has gotten better at controlling his anger and taking deep breathes but there is some things that even if he tried his hardest he can’t not get mad at. Specifically, some spider variants they know who they are.

Miguel sighed rubbing his eyes before swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and getting ready for the morning. Miguel walked over to his wardrobe and got out a baggy hoodie and some long pants he then grabbed both of them and went over to his bathroom to freshen up for the day, by having a quick shower and by brushing his teeth.

Miguel then activated his Spider suit, and then put on his hoodie and pants over the top of the suit to cover it up for the time being.

He then had a quick look over at the clock and saw that he was 5 minutes ahead, which was good cause with getting a kid ready and out the door it never hurt to have extra time.

Miguel then walked out of his room and started to make his way over to Miles room, when there he knocked 3 times on the wall to let Miles know he was about to come in as to not startle him, in return all he heard was a muffle groan behind the wall, Miguel gave a slight chuckle at that and put in the passcode to unlock Miles door from the outside.

Once done the door automatically slid open to reveal Miles in his bed covers over is body trying to hide and avoid having to get up for the day. Miguel walked over to Miles bed and crouched down so he could give Miles a slight shake to wake him up.

“Vamos niño (come on kid) time to get up for the day” Miles only tried to bury himself deeper into the covers Miguel rolled his eyes half heartedly with a smile on his face. Miguel gave a fake sigh “oh dear. Well it seems you leave me no choice.” Miles was about to asks what Miguel meant to when he was all of a sudden grabbed by his ankle and held upside down.

Miles gave a slight scream before laughing while still holding onto the blanket with his Spider-Man sticky fingers. Miguel gave a slight laugh as well looking at Miles who was gleefully hanging upside down. “You going to be dropping the blanket shield anytime Miles?” Miguel asked with a smirk on his face.

Miles then looked up which because he was upside down was looking at the floors direction, and saw that he was still holding onto the blanket. “Oh! Yea sorry papá.” He then deactivated his clinging spider powers and the blanket dropped to the ground in a heap. Miguel then turned Miles around into a normal up right position so he was facing Miguel.

“You know it’s weird that you aren’t the first one up out of bed bursting with energy. Mind telling me why that is?” Miles looked over to the side avoiding Miguel’s eyes. “Uhh I just had a bad nights sleep! Yea. That’s all!” Miguel rose an eyebrow at Miles not believing him. “ really? Not any other reason. Are you sure that after I tucked you in for bed that you didn’t get up and do anything.”

Miles started sweating and looking everywhere but Miguel’s eyes. “N-no what makes you think that?” Miguel turned them both around and putting Miles on the ground and facing the table in Miles room that was covered in paper and crayons and pencils, Miguel then looked down at miles with a smile. “I have a few guesses”

Miles sighed in defeat knowing he had been caught. Miguel crouched down to sit on the ground to look Miles in the face. “You know, you aren’t allowed to stay up late niño. It really affects you in the morning when you stay up late. This is the second time I’ve managed to catch you staying up way past your agreed bed time, and drawing no less” Miles quickly looked up at Miguel with pleading eyes.

“I’m sorry papá! Please don’t be mad!” Miguel chuckled and patted Miles head. “I’m not mad but you can’t stay up late again okay? I’m going to have to take away your art supplies at night out of your room, just for the time being until I know you will be able to control your creativity to sleep okay?” Miles put his head down but nodded knowing Miguel was right as well as this was the second time he had been caught staying up past his bed time cause he had wanted to draw and not sleep.

Miguel smiled softly and stood up from the ground and put his hand out for Miles to grab, which Miles grabbed gratefully and started following Miguel following over to his dresser in his room. “Now why don’t we get ready for the day mhm? What do you want to wear today?” Miles immediately got excited to choose his own outfit. within reason of course. Miles still doesn’t know how to match clothes or make an outfit.

In the end they choose a navy blue shirt and a red hoodie jacket with grey pants and his signature red, white and black shoes that he got for his most recent birthday.

Once dressed the moved towards the kitchen where Lyla was going through some stuff from HQ that she was frowning over, Miles immediately ran up to her waving. “Morning Auntie Lyla!” Lyla immediately stopped what she was doing once noticing Miles and shit off the screen she was using appearing in front of Miles at face height. “Well good morning to you too little man! How was your sleep last night?” Miles looked away guilty while Miguel gave a slight chuckle. “Apparently Miles here didn’t sleep all that much last night cause he had a creative spark of genius that couldn’t wait till morning.” Lyla looked back at Miles with a cheeky grin. “Wow Miles isn’t that the second time this month you’ve been caught drawing past your bed time?”

Miles crossed his arms pouting. “… maybe” Lyla started laughing and pretended to pat him on the head. “Aww already breaking the rules. You’re gonna be such a problem when your older” Miles glared at her. “Nuh u h! I’m going to be so well behaved just you watch me! I’m going to grow up and be just like Papá and fight bad guys!” Miguel came over and patted Miles on the head before walking over to the pantry to start making breakfast for himself and Miles.

“One Lyla stop antagonizing Miles. Two Miles I don’t follow the rules very well myself I technically break the rules every day to be Spider-Man and fight bad guys.” Miles immediately looked at Miguel confused with a tilted head. “Really?” Miguel nodded “yep really.”

Miles then put his hands on his hips thinking. “Huh. Well I guess you’re right Lyla I’m not going to follow the rules.” Lyla immediately cackled and held her stomach in utter delight. Miguel shook his head and started making himself some coffee with a soft smile on his face.

After Miguel finished making his coffee he went to the table with a plate of eggs and fruit for Miles and set it down if front of him and then went back to grab a small cup of milk for Miles as well.

Miguel then finally sat down to start enjoying his coffee while Miles started eating his breakfast while Lyla was talking to him.

After a bit Miguel had finished his coffee and looked back at Miles who was looking to be almost down with his meal as well. “You ready to leave in 5 minutes Miles?”

Miles looked up at Miguel finishing his mouth full of food before speaking. “Uh yea I think so? But I didn’t grab my bag from my room yet.” Miguel nodded and stood up to put his coffee mug in the sink. “It’s alright I’ll go grab your bag from your room okay? Just make sure you eat enough of your breakfast so you’re not hungry until your snack break later. alright?” Miles nodded and went back to eating his food while Miguel went to Miles room to grab his bag for him he quickly saw it against his bed and picked it before exiting the room.

As Miguel was on his way back to the table he felt a slight buzz from his wrist and looked down to his watch to see. ‘Emergency call incoming’ Miguel furrowed his eyebrows, and quickly turned to Miles and Lyla who were both looking at him expectantly.

Miguel put his finger up to his lips to signal them to be quiet. Miles quickly put his hands over his mouth to make sure he wouldn’t talk. Once having confirmation that Miles would stay quiet while he answered the call, Miguel pressed accept, and was immediately bombarded by sounds of explosions and yelling from Peter B and Jesse.

“MIGUEL!! We need you right now for back up! Turns out the anomaly was not just one anomaly but 3!!” Peter all but screamed. “Miguel quickly brought up the screen of the mission they went on, and looked at the information quickly, he saw that indeed it was supposed to be an easy early mission that could be taken care of with relative ease with two spiders there were definitely not meant to be three, Miguel cringed thinking of a way to get around this without having to go for back up. “is there anything else you can try? or ask for back up from another spider person?”

“MIGUEL!!”

Both Jesse and Peter Screamed at Miguel. Which worriedly looked over at Miles who had now finished his breakfast and was waiting for Miguel. Lyla who was waiting patiently herself quickly brought up a screen above herself that read.

‘don’t worry I’ll get Miles to kindergarten! ;D’

Miguel cringed and worriedly looked over at Miles who was trying to read the message Lyla wrote but it was above his head and hard to read. So Lyla just appeared near his ear and whispered the plan to him who immediately nodded his head with an enthusiastic smile on his face and put a thumbs up.

Miguel worried even more now feeling absolute dread. But before he could say anything he heard Jesse and Peter again screaming at him for help and back up. He reluctantly shook his head and immediately started taking off his jacket that was covering his spider suit. “Alright I’ll be there in 30 seconds hang tight until then” he could vaguely hear before he shut the communication off, Peter saying .
“WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK WE HAVE BEEN DOING?!”

He quickly turned to Lyla. “Make sure he gets there on time. Do not leave his side, do I make myself clear.” Lyla nodded making an okay sign with her hand. “Crystal clear Miguel!” Miguel glared at Lyla who only Smiled back at him. Miles then stepped forward “it’s alright Papá! I’ll be on my best behavior for Lyla I promise.” Miguel sighed and nodded quickly walking over to Miles and crouching down to hug him and give him a kiss on his forehead. “I’ll be back for when you need to be picked up from your class alright niño? estar en su mejor comportamiento. (be on your best behavior.) Miles nodded with a little salute.

Miguel quickly opened a dimensional portal to the mission location and walked through shortly after Miguel walked through the portal closed.

Miles who was standing there waiting patiently for the portal to close, once closed Miles went over to where his dad had dropped his bag for the day and dragged it over to the pantry to grab some packets of snacks from said pantry before walking over to the fridge where Miguel had luckily prepared Miles lunch for the day in a little box, the night before. Though it was on the second shelf where Miles sadly couldn't reach yet he looked over at Lyla for permission. Lyla who smiled and shrugged. “I’m not going tell” Miles quickly smiled and started climbing up the fridge which he is not allowed to do, to reach his lunch box.

Once grabbed he dropped his lunch box onto his bag so it had a softer landing than the floor before Miles slowly and carefully climbed down the fridge till he reached the floor. Lyla then appeared in front of him. “We have to get moving if you want don’t want to be late Miles”

Miles quickly nodded and shoved the rest of his food for the day in his bag before zipping it up and putting it on his back and looked back up and Lyla with a smile who also returned his smile with her own. “Ready to go little man?” Miles gave a confident nod before walking towards the door as the door opened for Miles and he was about to walk out said door when he quickly paused. “Wait!” He quickly ran back inside and stopped at a photo that was on a table in the living room in a beautiful protective frame, that was of Miguel and a young girl that Miles sadly never got to meet.

“Sorry I almost forgot! Goodbye hermana mayor! I’ll see you when I get back!” (Big sister)

He quickly ran back to Lyla who had a soft smile on her face looking down at Miles. “Okay! Now I’m ready to go” Lyla gave a soft chuckle before they both made their way out the door.

Everything had been going smoothly going down the elevator to the ground level and slowly making there way to the hover bus with Lyla constantly checking there surroundings to make sure nothing was going to go wrong or try to harm Miles. They had gotten onto the hover bus with no issues finding a seat near the back of the bus with Miles sitting down with his bag in his lap, and was patiently waiting for stop number 4 which was the closest stop to his school only being a 2 minute walk from the hover bus stop. Meaning that there were a few other kids that were older and going to the bigger bit of the school where high school was held.

Everything was completely fine Lyla and Miles were chatting to each other when Lyla felt a tingly feeling across her body meaning someone was trying to get in contact with her, she quickly checked who it was through her code and found it was Jesse she was going to ignore it, but Lyla had to admit that Jesse was persistent and was getting annoying with trying to get Lyla to accept her contacting. With an annoyed groan she turned to Miles. “Hay just give me a sec Miles I’ll be right back” Miles smiled at her and gave her a nod.

With that Lyla quickly blipped away to where Jesse was in the other dimension, when she got there she looked at Jesse with crossed arms and an annoyed look. “WHAT!” Jesse leveled her with an unimpressed she looked extremely exhausted and not happy. “Don’t get snappy with me. I was trying to contact you for ages you knew we were on a mission, you know I only get in contact with you when I need help, what gives?” Lyla sighed “nothing, it’s nothing what do you need” Jesse stared at her for a second before sighing herself. “I need to you to track an anomaly he managed to escape somehow and we don’t know where he went. Between Miguel, Peter and I we managed to catch the other two though.”

Lyla shook her head. “Sorry but I can’t I’m doing something extremely important I can do it maybe in 10 minutes but right now I have something I need to monitor.” Jesse glared at Lyla hands on her hips. “10 minutes? In 10 minutes the anomaly would be long gone, you know that better than anyone else! what is up with you recently you keep not being available when we have missions, and we need your help on these missions as your the only one that can properly track anomalies across other dimensions”

Lyla groaned in annoyance rubbing her face knowing Jesse was right but also having a responsibility to Miles to make sure he gets there safe “URGHH!! FINE! Give me a minute to sort something out, then I’ll be right with you” Jesse furrowed her brows ready to argue back that there wasn’t any time, but Lyla quickly teleported back to Miles before Jesse could answer back.

Miles was sitting waiting patiently on the bus swinging his legs back and forth, Lyla appeared beside him looking irritated Miles was about to ask if Lyla was okay when she turned around to look for something.

Lyla quickly looked around before spotting what she was looking for and found a teenager who was wearing a jacket with the same crest symbol of the school Miles goes to and quickly blipped in front of the teenager making him stagger back in surprise. “What-“ Lyla quickly put her hand up to make the boy stop talking. “You! Are you going to the fancy school in the next two stops yes or no” the boy stunned for a moment before answering. “Uhh yes I am? Is that some kind of issue?” Lyla grinned. “Nope! Actually perfect, do you mind making sure that this kid right over there by the window with the red backpack, that he gets off at the same stop as you and gets to class?”

The boy adjusted his glasses before looking back at Lyla floating in the air and back at Miles who was also staring back at him. “Uhh I mean sure, but are you okay with a complete stranger making sure this kid gets to class?” Lyla looked at him unimpressed. “What’s your name then.” The kid looked confused before answering. “Uh- well Ganke but-“ Lyla quickly ignored him before turning to Miles. “Miles, Ganke and Ganke, Miles. There now you both know each other. Before you say anything, you do this and make sure he gets to class I’ll let you buy one thing, anything you want no budget. Deal?”

Ganke Nodded shocked, Lyla immediately clapped her hands together looking relieved. “Great! Thanks a ton kid! And Miles? Make sure to behave I’m so sorry to do this to you, I’ll see you later okay little guy? I love you, take care of yourself, call on your gizmo if you need anything!” Miles didn’t get a chance to answer before Lyla disappeared again, he slowly looked back at Ganke who was also looking back feeling a bit awkward.

“Uhh you like superheroes?”

Lyla had thankfully been able to pin the anomalies location with relative ease. Peter and Miguel had managed to call for a clean up crew for the other two anomalies that had been caught and should join back in the search for the 3rd one that got away soon. Which Lyla did not want, as Miguel would want to most definitely rip her to shreds for leaving Miles alone to try and make his way to school with a stranger no less.

“We should have back up again in less than 5 minutes you still got eyes on the anomaly?” Jesse asked turning to Lyla who was watching the anomaly on the screen in front of her. “Greaattt. And yes I still have eyes on the anomaly I’m not an amateur, though I am going to go on top of that building to uhh get a better view? Yea sure.” Jesse looked at Lyla with utter confusion about to say something about that obvious excuse, but before Jesse could Lyla had already blipped away.

Jesse rolled her eyes in annoyance and scowled and just decided to wait for back up. Which luckily didn’t take long cause Miguel and then soon after Peter had shown up through an inter dimensional portal.

Jesse immediately waved them both over. “The anomaly is somewhere around this area hiding between buildings. I say we split up and cover more ground.” Miguel nodded and went to start to walk away in a north direction when Peter piped up. “I gotta say Jesse I’m incredibly impressed you had managed to even track down the anomaly that got away.” Jesse gave an unimpressed look before shaking her head.

“I didn’t, there’s no way I could’ve tracked it through dimensions it kept bouncing around. I had to get in contact with Lyla to get her to help” Miguel immediately stopped walking and whipped his head around so fast there was a cracking sound.

“LYLA!?”

Jesse rolled her eyes “yes Lyla, who else would have been able to track down the anomaly?” Jesse swears she could see Miguel’s eye twitch underneath the mask. He quickly turned to his inter dimensional watch and yelled into it. “LYLA! QUE MIERDA! (WHAT THE FUCK) Where are you!”

After a moment Lyla appeared in front of Miguel with a nervous look on her face. “Hayyy Miguel” Miguel quickly glared at her in anger. “Why are you here! You promised me you had it under control and that I wouldn’t have to worry! Well guess what? IM WORRIED! As I know that what you were tasked with TAKES ANOTHER 3 MINUTES TO GET TO! Meaning there’s no way it’s done!”

Lyla put her hands up in the air obviously also frustrated. “I KNOW! OKAY? It’s not my fault! Jesse was the one who was being annoyingly persistent and wasn’t leaving me alone even after I told her I was busy!” Jesse glared at Lyla. “I doubt what ever you were doing was not as important as catching an anomaly.”

Miguel and Lyla both turned to Jesse and both yelled at the same time. “YES IT WAS!!” Miguel rubbed his face. “I can not believe you right now! You just left?! Go back there right now and make sure everything is okay!” Jesse and Peter were about to speak up and ask respectively what they were arguing about and what was so important.

When all of a sudden a building blew up in the not so far distance which made everyone jump into action as Miguel was running towards to area where the building had exploded Lyla teleported next to his shoulder. “I promise you it’s alright. I made sure it was safe before I left, and if anything does go wrong he can always contact us. That’s why he has a digital phone and his gizmo on him at all times.”

Miguel sighed anxiously and annoyed. “You better be right cause right now I’m extremely pissed off.” Lyla nodded “just focus on the mission trust me everything’s fine.”

“Huh?”

Back with Miles he was currently holding onto his backpack straps while looking at a door that had a huge digital sign on it saying ‘Closed, today :( sorry for any inconveniences’ with smaller text underneath the bigger letters explaining why it was closed today. Ganke who was nice enough to walk Miles to the class room had his mouth slightly open in shock quickly read everything.

Miles looked back up at Ganke “what does the smaller sign say? I can only understand a few words from it… sorry.” Ganke quickly looked to Miles and shook his head “no it’s all good kid, I don’t think a 5 year old is supposed to know how to read all this.” Miles then brought up one of his hands with 4 fingers holding up. “I’m 4 years old not 5.” Ganke’s eyes widened and then nodded. “you’re very smart for a 4 year old, starting school early cause you’re that smart? Driving your parents nuts I imagine.”

Miles smiled cheekily “something like that.” Ganke smiled back before sighing. “Anyway the sign in short basically says, There’s a virus going around and everyone of your teachers got it but one and sadly your class can’t run with only one teacher as it’s unsafe. Apparently you should’ve gotten an emergency email late last night it says. Did your parents not get one?”

Miles thought for a moment. “Well maybe? But Papá was working late last night and probably didn’t see it and then this morning he got an emergency call not from the school but work and usually he checks his every day mail on the ride to school. So if we did get one my Papá probably didn’t see it.” Ganke nodded trying to think of what to do as he’s just been stranded with this apparently 4 year old by this highly intelligent AI that was very sassy.

But Ganke was sadly running out of time as he himself needed to get to class unless he wanted to be marked late and he sadly didn’t think saying ‘oh sorry I was late, I got stuck with some random child by some super intelligent floating digital lady’ was not gonna cut it as a great excuse.

Miles saw that Ganke was getting nervous and started pulling his backpack of his back onto the ground so he could rummage through it until he found what he was looking for which was a digital phone. He then grabbed it out and went back over to where Ganke was standing and tugged his shirt lightly to get his attention. “Hay, I know normal school starts soon. I’m okay on my own trust me I’m really strong and I have my phone with me I’ll just quickly call Lyla or my Papá and they will come pick me up once the emergency is dealt with, this has happened before so it’s all good!” Miles fails to mention the last time this has happened was when he was in the safety of his own home but Ganke didn’t need to know that.

Ganke looked conflicted for a moment but then had another quick look at the time and winced, and with a defeated sigh he looked back down at Miles. “Are you sure you’re fine waiting out here?” Miles gave a confident nod and waved his phone around. “Absolutely I’ll give Lyla a quick call now! And I’ll also make sure she follows through on the deal she made with you, for getting me this far!” Ganke chuckled. Before bending down with his hand in a fist and giving Miles a fist bump. “If you say so little kid. You’re pretty cool, hopefully I’ll see you around Miles. good luck! And stay safe!” After saying that Ganke quickly started sprinting off towards the bigger end of the school to get to his class.

Miles waved him off before turning towards his phone and pressing emergency GPS button and sat down next to his bag and waited. After 6 seconds Lyla quickly appeared in front of him with a panicked look. “MILES? MILES WHATS WRONG ARE YOU OKAY? YOU AREN’T HURT ARE YOU? OH PLEASE DONT BE HURT!” Miles gave a giggle . “I’m not hurt Auntie Lyla I promise. Though I do have a problem. My class is canceled.” Lyla calmed down taking a deep relived breath before realizing what Miles said after he confirmed he was okay. “Wait what? Closed??” Miles nodded before pointing at the big digital sign that was on the door.

Lyla quickly went over to it and read through it quickly before groaning and rubbing her face under her glasses. “Dumb humans, with their dumb immune systems! See this is why you and Miguel are superior cause of your spider DNA mix you guys never have this stupid issue of getting sick! Today is just not our day! Why didn’t they tell us it was closed!!”

Miles shrugged not being bothered by the whole ordeal. “I don’t know Ganke apparently said we should’ve gotten an emergency message or something?”

Lyla furrowed her brows before looking back at the sign. indeed at the bottom there was a little message saying any further information for the class occupants would be shared on a E-mail. Lyla quickly brought up her screens and looked through them for just a second and the 3rd one down from every day mail was indeed a message from the school saying ‘Kindy class canceled please read!’

Lyla’s eye twitched in annoyance. Sadly she hadn’t checked random every day mail today as there had been trouble with some of the early morning missions and usually all that is in the every day mail is junk! Lyla sighed in utter annoyance and defeat.

Lyla then went back over to Miles who was watching her patiently. “Alright we’ll good news is, is that Miguel is done with the emergency when you called me we had just finished up and dealt with it so I can stay with you the whole time now, so let’s wait for the bus to come around again and then let’s go home alright!”

Miles looked sad and bored when he heard that plan. “Awwww come on! Please can we go somewhere else! I’m so bored at home especially without Papá and you’ve been to busy to recently, I know you keep telling me that it’ll calm down soon and you and Papá will be able to spend more time with me after but it’s been Months! I’m bored of just being at home alone it’s not fair!”

Lyla looked sadly at Miles before nodding. “I know I’m sorry Miles you have a right to be upset. I’m so sorry little man. But I sadly can’t go anywhere with you if something happens I can’t physically help you it’s to dangerous.” Miles pouted before standing up stomping his foot.

“But I’m a Spider-Man aren’t I? Or that’s at least what Papá and you say. You tell me to keep my spider stuff a secret cause I’m special and I’ll be able to stop dangerous people myself when I’m big enough, but I’m smart and big now all my teachers tell me so!” Lyla sighed. “I know Miles but you can never be to sure, the only safe place for you right now is at home where everything is secure.”

Miles crossed his harms and huffed. “I bet the spider place where you and Papá go everyday is way safer with all the different Spider hero’s around” Lyla looked at him surprised before going quite for a bit thinking before giving a small sigh before muttering “I’m going to get in so much trouble for this” Lyla then looked up at Miles with a cheeky grin.

“You know what Miles you’re right. The next safest place would be spider HQ so let’s go there instead.” Miles immediately looked in sock before immediately brightening up with stars in his eyes and clasping his hands together. “REALLY!!” Lyla nodded with a smile. “Indeed really.” Miles then tilted his head in confusion.

“But I thought that you and Papá said I wasn’t allowed to go there until Papá said it was ready for me?” Lyla sighed looking sad.

“I don’t think Spider HQ will ever be ready for someone like you. You are a very special case Miles you’re incredible, all Miguel wanted to do was to give you a normal child hood without being roped into Spider society to young, and making you unhappy. But in doing so we made you feel excluded and extremely upset which you have every right to be. You would have come to Spider HQ at some point so what matters if it’s a little earlier I’m sure it’ll be fine, and plus it’s been killing me and Miguel to keep making excuses as to why we keep leaving HQ at random times it’s starting to get irritating.”

Miles nodded before looking unsure and extremely nervous all of a sudden. “Auntie Lyla? Do you think people will like me at the Spider work?” Lyla looked down smiling softly at Miles. “I’m sure of it. Buuutt just to be on the safe side why not on the first visit we keep it small and just go to Miguel’s office as a surprise visit just to get used to the place as it might be a bit overwhelming, and if at any point you feel uncomfortable we will just turn around and go back home and not tell Miguel anything and just keep it between us. Okay?”

Miles looked back at Lyla before taking a deep breath and nodding trying to act confident but was still obviously nervous.

Lyla smiled sweetly at Miles. “Why don’t we make it your first training exercise as well?” That immediately got Miles attention always up for trying to prove himself. “What kind of training?” Lyla put her hands on her hips leaning forward with a devious smile on her face. “Why don’t we make it a stealth challenge? You try to get past all the Spider people and variants while staying invisible like we’ve been practicing at home and if you manage to do that and get to your dads office without being seen I’ll get you what ever you want even if Miguel says no to it.”

Miles gave a cheeky smile before nodding. “I’ll totally get past every spider people, I’ll be like a ninja! And when I do I want permission to get a proper drawing desk!” Lyla then looked confused at Miles. “Are you sure that’s what you wanna waste your. ‘You can get anything you want card’ on that? I’m sure Miguel would totally let you get that without a second thought he loves your drawings.” Miles nodded his head proudly with a small smirk on his face. “Yes that’s exactly what I want. And remember you have to hold up your end of the deal and let me get the drawing table!”

Lyla rubbed her face. “Okay little man we got to work on your ideas of what to waste your get anything card cause that’s not a good use of it. Don’t cash it in yet and really try to think about something to use it on after you can prove you can get past all highly trained super hero’s cause if you do miraculously get past all the spider variations… I’m gonna be really disappointed in our Organization. That they were beaten by a 4 year old… I mean what a brag for you but, man that’s super embarrassing if you do get pass them.”

Miles nodded to himself confidently. “Well then prepare to be embarrassed cause I’m going to get past all of them!” And Miles then turned around to get his backpack before facing Lyla with a big grin.

“Let’s go off to Spider work!”
