Chapter 1
Peni was not only adorable and precious but also a genius. She had invented a small device that allowed the owner to safely control travel between dimensions, and a mobile telephone that was able to send texts and calls between dimensions. When she teleported down into Noir’s dimension to hand him one of each of these these, Noir almost cried with happiness. He swept her up and held her tight.
“Thank you Peni my dear, I Have a few things to clear up hear but I will soon be in touch and we can all meet up, I promise.”
Peni gave his gentle kiss on the cheek and was on her way.
“Good luck punching Nazis, see you soon!”
“See you soon.”
Noir looked down at the small gadgets in his hands and thought about his spider family who he was so looking forward to seeing again. Peni, obviously, who he saw as a daughter who he must protect at all costs but was so so god damn proud of. Peter B, who was such a good friend to him. Miles and Gwen, who he didn’t understand at all but who always someone gave him hope and he was so in awe of their friendship. And Ham… Ham.. god how we was looking forward to seeing Ham again.
*****************************************
After he was down with that specific Nazi Punching mission, Noir messages got out the small telephone that Peni had given him. He had never used anything like this before, but he was a clever enough guy before he managed to send a group message to everyone.
Dear all,
I am excited to announce I have time free and wish to reunite with you all. Where and when should we meet? Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Yours truly, Peter Parker (Noir)
Hey Noir!!!
We were thinking of meeting in Miles dimension tomorrow actually (well times are strange across dimensions so basically just go there now). Just type 1610 on your travel device, hit enter, it should drop you somewhere near Aunt May’s house, (not exactly there but close enough, sorry still working on that!) we are meeting there anyway so just find your way there and we would all either be there or on our way.
Love you,
Peni xx
Noir smiled and did as instructed. There was a whirlwind of colour and he felt lightheaded, then he was knocked off of his feet.
When he got up he staggered around for a while, once he had figured out what way was up and what way was down, he noticed he was in a small back alleyway by some bins, but if definitely looked like Miles’ Brooklyn, just not the nicest part of it. He felt a little travel sick, but he was set on finding his friends as soon as possible so he started to walk. Luckily, after a few minutes he started to recognise buildings and eventually he found Aunt May’s house just as the sun was starting to set. As soon as he lifted his hand to knock the door it flung open. All he saw was a blur of pink as Ham jumped into his arms with a loud squeak.
“Noir!!!” Ham laughed as he wrapped his short little arms around the man's neck in an embrace. Noir held ham tightly and buried his head in his shoulder. He noticed the pig smelt of sugar and cherries and found himself subconsciously breathing in deeply to savour his scent.
“Good evening, Ham.” Mumbled Noir into his next.
The friends stood just embracing each other for a moment before Ham remembered to jump down out of the Man’s arms and invite him inside.
“Aunt May is out at dinner with friends, Miles is at school right now but will be here tomorrow, the others haven’t arrived yet I don’t think but should be here soon.”
Ham explained, taking Noir by the hand and leading him into the kitchen where he prompted him to sit on a bar stool. “This means we have to fend for ourselves food wise tonight”
“Alright, I’m sorry but I don’t think I have much money to wine and dine you, Ham.”
“No worries, I’ve got it all covered.” The pig reached behind him and pulled a ready made pizza on a plate out of nowhere. Noir burst into laughter, god he’s missed this strange little guy.
“Do you not like pizza? I think I can whip up something else for you if you don’t.”
“I don’t mind pizza, I’m just not sure I can trust where that particular pizza came from.” Ham looked hurt for a moment and Noir couldn’t bear to see his friend upset.
“It’s okay Ham, don’t worry, I’ll try it.” He watched Ham smile a dazzling grin. It was definitely worth eating some suspicious pizza to make his friend happy, especially when said friend had such a charming smile. Ham whipped out a red and white checkered tablecloth, a bottle of expensive looking red wine, wine glasses, plates, and a candelabra completely with lit candles also from absolutely nowhere. Noir couldn’t help but grin in amazement as his companion set everything out on the breakfast bar between them. Noir took his mask off to make it easier for him to eat. He tried not to notice the way Ham seemed to be enchanted by the sight of his unmasked face by candlelight. He took a cautious bite out of the pizza.
“Ham, I have to be honest with you my fried, this is the nicest thing I’ve eaten in my life!”
“I’m really glad you like it, there is plenty more where that came from.” Ham winked. Noir laughed and took a bigger bite out of the pizza.
