into the wrong universe
previously....
one again you were falling.
Miles turned to look back at the class. The people who had taken you in and for you loved you.
he was thankful for them, and couldn't express it enough. He smiled slightly and nodded in appreciation before stepping into the portal himself
You were falling together
but this time was different
because you were going home
-------
Life back in new york was ... how should you out it. Strange
You had become so accustomed to walking around and seeing people with bird heads, or pink skin. or any mutation whatsoever. Your normal had completely changed. After all, you had spent what seemed like months with class 3-A. But when you came home, it had only been a week.
To you, it felt like a lucid dream or shifting to another reality for months on end. Only to return and everything be how you left it.
Miles and your parents were static to see you again. Your mother went from scolding you to crying on your shoulder. Your dad never spoke of it, knowing his little girl... if he could even call you that. Had changed
It started with the new ring you had on your finger, then the hoodie you refused to let your mother wash. Each time you walked past him or gave him a hug, he wouldn't smell... you. No, it was someone else. A boy
Eventually, you returned back to school, your dorm was left untouched. And empty. Without Sero's hammock or Gwen's personal items. The room was left alone with your belongings. You had gotten too accustomed to your temporary roommates. But that's all they had been. Temporary
As soon as these feelings would illude your senses you would force your set to leave immediately. If that meant going out with your friends or sitting alone in the library. Maybe going into the city and busting some crime or helping a random stranger. Anything to get your mind off of it
But you still couldn't help but imagine and fantasise Sero swinging past you from the buildings or the sound of his laughter echoing in the night sky when you sat alone on the building overlooking the city. You missed talking to Gwen about your problems, no matter how small she would always listen. You knew Miles missed her too
///
Sero had a hard time getting back into things after you left. He would sometimes go to your door and knock on its wood, waiting for you to be on the other side. Only to wait a couple of minutes before remembering you weren't there
He would often wake up in the night from the slightest sounds that he thought would be you. His body would run to the hammock you loved to sleep in and he'd search for your body in the dark. Only to find empty space. He'd sigh and go back to bed, trying to fill the cold empty space beside him with a pillow that he would pretend was your body
The entire class noticed how he wouldn't smile as often and when he did it wouldn't reach his eyes. Or when he'd sneak a glance to the empty seat across the room before dragging his eyes back to the board in front. Sometimes they would catch him when he accidentally slipped your name, as an attempt to get you to join the conversation until he'd stop himself and act as if nothing happened. All this was an often occurrence that he couldn't seem to get over
Constantly he would lay in bed at night, with his music on low going through the playlist he made for you and him for your spontaneous dance sessions. The necklace around his neck would always find a way to be in his fingers, feeling the warm jewellery in between the tip of his fingers as he messed with it
During training, he would try to replicate the moves you showed him, and when he succeeded he would turn to celebrate with you only to see that you weren't there
Aizawa would always keep an eye on him, and frown along with him when he forgot that you had gone home. To your world
//
One night, you were sitting at your desk going through your homework. Which happened to be Japanese. You were smirking to yourself in victory as you managed to translate the sentences and write your own answers. Whilst you thought to yourself your hands would play with one another, the ring on your finger would continuously be spun around and around as you focused on the Kanji in front of you.
You sat with your knees tucked into your chest supported by the large hoddie that was beginning to lose its scent of mixed spices and aftershave.
On the last question, you looked quizically at the paper, your anger starting to get the best of you. Until a pounding at your door caught your attention
"Y/N OPEN UP, IT'S MILES", your head tilted to the door before you shot a web and opened the door quickly enough for him to fall through the empty space. Revealing the body standing behind him, it hadn't been ned. No, it was a girl. Blonde hair. Blue eyes
"GWEN!"
The older girl laughed to herself and stepped over your groaning brother and made her way to you before engulfing you in a much-needed hug. She smelt of strawberries and espresso-like how you remembered
"How?" was all you managed to question, she pulled back with a smirk tugging on her face. "the portal where I fell out, left a tear. I figured I would be able to open and close it. And it worked" she smiled now proudly and Miles came to the side of her
Throughout the weeks you had come home he couldn't help but notice how different you were. From the slither of interaction, he saw back in the other world. It was obvious how you had created some... life there. That boy, his name he didn't know because he never asked you in fear of upsetting you, even more so obviously had a strong feeling for you. That you reciprocated
The hoodie you clung to as a source of a lifeline would only prove his theory. Because he too had found that he had fallen for someone from another world. She was standing right beside him now for goodness sake.
And like everything in his and your life. It had to be equal
"do you know what that means y/n?" his face came right close up to you with a devious smirk. Your face matched his with excitement. The first he had seen in weeks
///
It was a random Wednesday night at the hero alliance dormitory. The class were helping one another set the table or cook their dinner. By most I mean, Bakugou was playing head chef and yelling at Todorki for incorrectly cutting the chives and putting his amazing cook of a sister to shame
Mina was dancing to the music playing in the background around the table as she placed the plates, occasionally she would catch a glimpse of Sero shuffling as well. She had made sure to put on some music which he couldn't resist from dancing to no matter how hard he tried
The food was just finished being cooked, hot steam coming from the plates in the centre of the buffet of food to feed the class. The students sat down, all saying their thanks
As they reached out to plate their food the table began to shake, the food spilling everywhere
"EVERYONE REMAIN CALM AND PLEASE GET UNDER THE TABLE" the class representative Tenya Ilda shouted amongst the chaos as he tried to keep his classmates safe from the earthquake they had been experiencing
As they had been told the class rushed under the table, being careful not to make any more mess than there had been. The shaking only seemed to get worse and worse as time went on, causing the lights to flicker from endless darkness to a blinding light
Only the blinding light hadn't been caused form the bulbs in the ceiling. The tables were yanked from the floor and sent into the pool of glitching above that had been implanted in the ceiling, leaving the students more defenceless than before. Luckily it wasn't an earthquake
///
Miles was standing proudly at the machine he had manufactured from the scraps he found at the sight of where this mess began. Gwen was talking under her breath about how much of a nerd your twin truly was
The three of you stood there, dressed in your suits as the machine began to warm up. The small rift portal in the centre of the abandoned underground subway, the last place you had spent your time with your late uncle. The only reminder left of him was the graffiti you and your brother had decorated this place in that littered the walls proudly
"uh... is it supposed to do that" Gwen pointed out that the machine was making a funny noise and the rift began to glitch. A worry shot through you as you moved to the machine "let's just turn it off" a hand stopped yours as you tried to reach out "it's fine" Miles told you
For someone very smart. He could be dangerously stupid
The portal began to glitch more as it stretched wider, occasionally shooting off an electrical current which only added to your worries
"Miles. Turn it off NOW" you shouted, but the noise had gotten too loud. As you attempted to approach the machine you heard faint shouts and screams coming from inside. Your spider senses screamed for you to move out of the way, and as always, without a doubt, you followed them. Throwing your body away from the machine and portal in time to dodge the large table that came flying through
"Miles, YOU IDIOT. IT'S COMING HERE" you shouted over the destruction and sound coming from the table breaking upon its fall, food splattering across the floor and plates shattering into pieces
"SOMEONE TURN IT OFF" Gwen was pushed back by a large explosion that came through the portal
"DIEEEEEE YOU SCUMMY VILLAIN" a body flung out and rolled across the floor
"Bak-" You were cut off by more bodies falling through the portal, each and every one of them ready to attack. Miles ran to Gwen's side and got into a defensive position, readying to shoot a web at the intruders. While the machine finally ran out of power and shut off, closing the portal behind
"MILES" you shouted causing everyone's attention to fall on you as you tackle your brother to the ground, causing his web to miss and hit the wall. You pinned down his hands with one of yours
"Y/N!" the group shouted and you breathed out a heavy sigh.
Miles had pushed your body off of his and stood up in front of Gwen and yourself. Your hand grabbed his shoulder and held him back.
"y/n?" a soft-spoken voice met your ears and sent a shiver down your spine. Your spider-sense feeling attracted to the voice as its owner pushed through the crowd
"Hanta" you replied breathlessly. Your body didn't think for a second before throwing itself into the boy. His arms warping around your waist and yours around his neck.
Using your hand you pulled the mask from over your head, showing your tear eyed expression that mirrored his.
"estás aquí" (you're here) "Finalmente estás aquí" (you're finally here), the people around you ceased to exist as you were pulled into your own world with him, standing in front of you on the verge of tears. His eyes couldn't help but scan your face, for injuries, for any changes. He noticed how tired and exhausted you looked. But he couldn't say much since he looked the same. You both had sleepless nights in cold empty beds.
But now he could finally feel the warmth of your body against his. He was too tempted and wanted more. So he gave in, and you happily obliged. you kiss him back with your arms draped over his neck. His hands came up to your head and held you gently and close. Both your grips tightened as you had to be sure that this moment was real
"ahem... y/n" your bother called out. His eyes fanning from you and looking at the group of strangers and back to you "y/n ???", again ignored and this was getting uncomfortable
"BÁJATE DE MI HERMANA" (GET OF MY SISTER) Miles shouted, finally losing his cool. He doesn't even know this guy, he needs to do a background check before he can have any more of you. Only the best for you and nothing less
Sero jumped at the shouting finally pulling back with a mad blush of embarrassment and you rolled your eyes and looked over your shoulder "si tuvieras las pelotas para Besar a Gwen, no estaría enojado. Así Que retrocede y déjame disfrutar esto" (if you had the balls to kiss Gwen, I wouldn't be mad. So back off and let me enjoy this), Miles feigned a gasp and looked to Gwen, who had no clue to what you said but only heard her name
The class 3-A students just watched the scene unfold like it was a dramatic show in a foreign language. Some of them were able to speak and understand English, but Spanish was out of the picture.
Sero eventually let you go and kept you by his side. Miles stormed over and pushed out his hand and used the other to take off his mask, showing the similarities between you and him. Although you looked a little more like your beautiful mother and he your father. You still looked almost the same. Besides the point, he was trying to be nice for the sake of his sister. The boy in front of him was supposedly made you happy, so he had to get over it eventually
"Miles Morales", Sero took his hand and shook it, only to be tugged into Miles' body by his surprising strength. He came close to his ear "Si haces llorar a mi hermana, te colgaré del edificio más alto y dejaré que los cuervos te saquen los ojos. Comprender" (If you so much as to make my sister cry, I will hang you from the highest building and let the crows pick out your eyes. Understand) he whispered. Sero gulped "Si" (yes)
Miles patted his back rather harshly and pulled back "Bienvenido a la Familia mi Hermano" (welcome to the family my brother)
You tried to keep your eyes on the interaction but were too encased in a massive group hug, where the class had pilled on top of you. Caused by Denki and Mina "how do you just get prettier and prettier" Mina said in Japanese while half whining as she squeezed you tightly. If you didn't have your gift you were sure your bones would have been crushed
"um, still here yanno" Gwen stood close with her arms across her chest looking down at everyone. She pulled off her mask and revealed her identity, sending most of the boys into class 3-A (besides Sero, since he only has eyes for you) in a slight frenzy. Miles noticed the looks of admiration and moved beside Gwen to state that she was already taken, despite him not having asked her out or made a move. But it still stands that she is his.
Sero helped you escape from the class slightly distancing you from them, maybe he let his jealousy get the best of him but he didn't care. he had missed you the most
"so do any of you speak english", Miles spoke in his American accent again. Since he only spoke Spanish to you and his mother. Some members of the class (shoto, Katsuki, Sero and Izuku) nodded their heads, whilst others looked at Miles as if he had two heads. You sighed gently, trying not to find this predicament funny
"everyone, this is my Twin Miles, he was asking if you speak English" after spending so many months with the class you had leant their language, only using it when you deemed fit, but for the most part, it was an excuse to use the language barrier to avoid conversations.
Miles, like you, used to. Never focused on his lessons in Japanese, the boy may be smart and techy, but at the end of the day. He was limited to two languages.
That didn't matter right now. With your hand inter winded with Hanta's you lead him out of the subway first, his classmates following behind, Gwen and Miles hanging at the back to watch for any coming trains. Luckily you all made it out, but before you made it to the service you stopped
"what's wrong" Miles called from the back and you turned looking at the students, from a different world, with quirks, mutations
"uhhhh, where are we going to hide them?" Miles stopped, the thought train passing over him as well,
"shit," you said in unison
he pulled you aside, causing the class to exchange glances with one another. Obvious to what you were concerned about, "we can't take them back to school. And our apartment... dad would freak the fuck out" Miles exclaimed, waving his arms about
"you think I don't know that idiot. I don't fancy being un- alived either Mile. I can't just say ' so you know when I was missing those two days, well I was actually in a different universe for months on end. Oh, and they have superpowers!" You put your head in your hands, causing worry to arise more
"we could-" Miles started
"... go to aunt May's?" You finished, now smirking with one another. With a nod, he held his hand up and you slapped it, starting the chain effect of the handshake the two of you have had since you could talk
"right" you started in Japanese, "we're gonna have to get some of you covered up. Remember there's no quirk here so do not use them" you looked to Bakugou who scoffed
"We are going to have to catch the train across the city, our friend-" Miles said but no one understood him, making you sigh, "A close friend of ours will take you in for now, until my brother fixes his mess" you slap him on the back of his head jokingly "so you can get home", you look, to Hanta who's eyes become sad
he takes a step forward and worriedly takes your hand, beneath the suit he could feel the ring he gave you, making his smile appear "I'll make sure there's a way for us to pass through safely" you calm him, resting your hand on his face so he can lean into your touch
"Good... because I don't think I could ever be apart from you again"
----
Luckily the train was practically empty, allowing you to sneak your friends on. Miles and Gwen stood guard at the doors so no one would get in. This had been assured due to the mass amount of webbing they had over the doors and windows, making it look more like a ghost train
The night was enough to cover to get you to the house you recognised all too well. A warm feeling erupts in your chest. Of course, you had seen May since you came back, you told her everything, about your adventures your new friends, a friend who was more than just a friend.
you knocked on the door and stood back a couple of steps, causing the travellers with you to fall into more confusion. However it was deemed valid when the door swung open and May took a swing with the baseball bat
after not hitting anything she calmed down, her eyes falling on you standing at her door, mask off with a wide smile. Her eyes travelled behind you: Miles and Gwen waved, whilst the students of class 1-A bowed respectfully. May looked back to you, noticing you looking at a boy who she could recognise from your description alone. Hanta came beside you and took your hand
"Well well y/n... just what have you gotten yourself into this time" she laughed under her breath and put the bat back down by the door. She stepped out and wrapped her arms around you, Hanta stood still and May side-eyes him before reaching out and pulling him in too
"I told you it would work out" she whispered and pulls away, walking back into her house and gesturing everyone in. And so everyone followed her to the backyard
she pulled out the trusted key and unlocked the shed, allowing it to become illuminated with the symbol that had been passed to you and your brother. The door opened to the elevator and everyone flooded in
looks of amazement washed over everyone's features and the elevator slowly approached the base to which you and Miles now occupy. It holds your suits on either side of the room which had been split in half. The decoration differs in both sides to fit your aesthetics
the first thing to catch Hanta's eye was on the left side. Where a single Hammok rested besides spray-painted canvases with suit designs painted on them. You squeezed his hand and led him over to your suits
"oi Miles, unlock number 15" he did as told and everyone watched as the glass chamber hisses as the door slid back revealing the suite
The suite was a tight fit on the model, to which everyone had noticed how the elbows protruded out slightly, small slits on the hilt of where the bone would protrude out. Spray painted with white, black and yellow all over in precise motions. The mask sat carefully at the head, a familiar style which noticed adaptations to the glass visor. Hologram letters appear on the glass, on the side a built-in earpiece
"Thanks for the inspiration and all... but I think it's about time this suit gets out to use. What do you think Hanta?" He looked back from the suit to you, noticing now how your eyes hadn't left his face. You were watching him intently, studying his reaction as well as his face.
the colour had returned, and his eyebags seemed to disappear. He looked alive again. All because of you
"I think that's a great idea"
-----
Laughter filled the night air, slightly muffled by the gentle breeze and the sound of traffic below. Your feet metres above the roofs of cars before landing and running between them.
You screamed playfully as you kept running along the road, until an arm wrapped around your waist, scooping you up into the air once again. For a moment time stopped, and your body became relaxed in his hold- you trusted him with your life.
As the two of you reached the peak just above the high rise of a building you held on to one another, basking in the moment of weightless eternity
your bodies floated away from one another, but as you watched each other fall the sequence began again. With a web-shooting from your wrist and Hanta's tape latching onto the building, you swung through the streets aside one another. Racing, laughing, basking in unity. Together
Once out of energy you sat on the edge of the Empire State Building. The sun rising across the horizon in the distance, blessing you with another morning. A sigh released past your lips. Only it wasn't heavy or tormented. It was soft. Calm. Happy
Hanta had his arm wrapped around your body, pulling you close to him with your head resting on his shoulder- close enough to feel his chest rise and fall with each passing breath. He rested his head on top of yours and closed his eyes.
there you sat, letting the heat of the new sun warm and bless your skins. But the warmth in your heart came from the feeling of it being whole again. And at that moment you knew.
"I think we could make this work"
"oh really? Because I know we will"
