Marvel Zombies Resurrection: Seeking a Bright Future

Our Separate Ways

"Peter, what do you think we should do?" Peter sighed as he heard the question from Stephen Strange. The adults were reunited in one big room, a constant reminder of what had happened to their reality right in front of them. In front of them was the now completely deceased body of Helmut Zemo, killed by Stephen Strange when the man had felt someone breach their security. Peter knew that this day would come sooner or later, but to actually see it through was another thing entirely. "We don't have a choice… You know that, right?"

"I know…" Peter muttered as he looked away from the mutilated Respawn. He knew what they had to do, because there was no other way. It was a matter of their survival. Risk had to be taken when dealing with their current reality, because they couldn't stay in their refuge any longer. "We have to choose our teams before heading out to scavenge for a place to stay for the moment"

"I don't even have to ask if you are going to take your son and your nephews with you" Stephen replied, making Peter nod at his response. He was not letting his family out of his sight, not even if it meant that he had a bigger target on his back. And Peter could see just how the man released a sigh in slight frustration.

"And how exactly are we going to decide which one goes with whom? Because I definitely can't stand a second longer near the Web-Head" Peter looked at Maxwell, who was giving him a cocky smirk in return. Peter smiled a bit, noticing just how the man was just messing with him a bit. And while Peter could see that there was no real hostility in his words, he had to admit that being enemies for a long time meant that even he had problems coexisting with Electro.

"Then Stephen takes one group and Peter takes the remaining people?" James asked, making Peter look around and watching just how everyone began to nod in response. Peter didn't have any doubt in his mind that most of the adults would go with Stephen, no doubt in his mind about that. And his thoughts began to be true when not only James and Maxwell went towards Stephen… but even his own apprentice, Miles Morales, and Vivian Vision went to the side of Stephen Strange.

"Then that means that the rest of us are with Parker, right?" Forge said, while standing near Warlock. Peter sent a smile towards Karla, receiving one in return from the blonde haired villainess. Peter deviated his sight momentaneously to look around the room once more before nodding at everyone.

"Then we leave at dawn" Peter stated, walking away from the room alongside Moonstone. He needed to tell his nephews about what was going to happen now that they were going to leave the place they had started to call home. None of them could risk staying behind, only to be caught by incoming respawns. So they needed to leave as fast as they could.

"You know… that our group is going to be the biggest one, right?" Karla stated, making the arachnid hero nod in response. He knew for a fact that if Karla was joining him, then Kamala was joining his group as well since the villainess seems to be the only one that is able to control the nightmares that the pakistani has been experiencing for a couple of days now. "We need to be as careful as possible, trying to stay hidden for the most part"

"I know… I can't risk their safety… nor yours, Karla" Peter looked at the woman, a caring smile on his face as he stared right at her blue eyes. Ever since they had sex a week ago, Peter has been feeling more attracted to the woman that was now in front of him. He knew that it was mostly a physical attraction, that much he knew. But it didn't mean that it couldn't evolve into something far greater. Something that he thought had been lost with not only Mary Jane Watson… but with Susan Storm and Jessica Miriam Drew. "I care for all of you…"

Both of them stood silent for a couple of minutes, walking towards the area where Franklin and Valeria Richards were currently sleeping. Peter stopped walking, looking to the side as he watched his nephews sleeping near the crib he had stolen for Gerry through the open door. He gave a small smile at the sight before looking at Moonstone, who was also looking at the scene.
