Chapter three
“What did it feel like?” Jitterbug and Spider-woman sat atop the roof, munching on street-vender hot dogs after a night of patrolling. “Traveling through dimensions?”
Gwen paused for a moment before speaking, using her half-eaten hot dog as a pointer.
“Like the best and worst water slide you’ve ever been on.”
She told Jitterbug about the multiverse and meeting Miles, after all, she was the one who kept New York safe while the fifteen-year-old was whisked away to another dimension. Part of her was a little envious of the kid, seeing another dimension and meeting other heroes certainly sounded like a trip.
But now as Jitterbug shot through the void like an asteroid and was spat into another world, she wished she could take it back.
She didn’t have time to take in the surroundings before she collided with a glass window. The shattering of the glass shook her of her confusion and into overload.
The floor is getting way too close way too fast.
She shot a string of webbing to the ceiling and threw herself into the air, landing in a crouching position on upside down and sticking effortlessly.
It was an empty warehouse by the looks of it. But that’s not the setting that confused her.
“Where the hell am I?”
Her spidey-sense went into overload. She was somewhere completely different, but all the same.
“Think I may be able to help with that.” A man came into view, dressed in dark red armor completed with little horns on the top of his costume.
“Cool costume.”
The man smiled. “Right back at you. So uh, you mind coming down here and telling me who you are and why you just fell out of a hole in the sky?”
The webbing slowly lowered Jitterbug until she dangled right in front of the masked man.
“You saw that?”
“I was out on patrol. It’s kind of hard to miss a woman being spit out of the stratosphere you know.”
“Okay then.” He looked a little familiar, she just couldn’t tell from where. “Well, my name is Jitterbug and I’m sure you can tell I’m a little far from home.”
The man chuckled. “I assumed so. Well, I’m daredevil and I’m sure you’re gonna need a little help getting back.” He held his hand out to her, she slowly landed onto the floor and shook it.
“No kidding."
