On a large stage shrouded in darkness stands the silhouettes of four different people, a band. This band was "The Spider-Slayers" and they were about to play the biggest gig of their career so far, front and centre of these four silhouettes was Spider-Punk himself who stood with his guitar strapped around his neck and one hand in the air. He stood like that for a few seconds before bringing his hand down and strumming a chord on his guitar, as this chord was played all the lights around the band lit up showing off the four members in all their glory.

Spider-Punk leant forward closer to his microphone about to start the first song when all of a sudden, a strange-looking portal appeared underneath him causing him to fall straight through it.

Spider-Punk fell through the portal and found himself flying through a weird place that looked like outer space only it looked like it was covered in spider webs. He flew into a white light and started to fall from the sky where he landed, rather harshly on the roof of a building in Times Square.

Y/N: "Ouch."

He sat up slowly and checked his guitar, which somehow was completely fine despite the fall. Y/N got up to his feet shakily and looked around to see a Times Square that looked very different from his own.

Y/N: "How the hell?"

The punk looked over at one of the billboards that stood in the centre of Times Square, it showed some news footage of a man swinging around the city with webs. As he watched the footage, he felt his spider sense go off and turn to where it was telling him the danger was coming from, only to be hit in the face by someone flying right into him.

The two rolled along the rooftop for a few seconds before stopping. Y/N found himself on his back with another person on top of him.

Y/N: (strained) "Great, I'm on the floor again."

???: "Sorry."

The other person got off of Y/N and he finally got a good look at them, it was a woman who was dressed in a spider-themed costume. The two made eye contact and felt a sense of familiarity wash over them.

Y/N/???: "You're like me."

Y/N reached up and slowly removed his mask.

Y/N: "Who are you?"

The stranger removed their own mask to reveal the face of a girl who was around the same age as Y/N.

???: "I am Spider-Woman

???: "I am Spider-Woman."

Y/N: "Do you have like a real name?"

???: *sigh* "Gwen. Gwen Stacy."

Y/N: "I'm Y/N but people back home call me Spider-Punk."

Gwen: "Spider-Punk? Really?"

Y/N: "Yeah, lead guitarist and vocalist of The Spider-Slayers but the name kind of came from just getting called it when I was out doing Spider work, I got called it enough that I decided to just adopt it. It has grown on me since then."

Gwen: "That makes sense actually. Are you from another New York as well then?"

Y/N: "Yep. Mine is not as nice as this."

The two stand and talk for some time before getting a feeling about where they need to go to get some answers.

TIMESKIP

The two spider-people stand on the roof of a building in front of a school named "Visions Academy".

Gwen: "How exactly are we gonna get in there and stay without anyone noticing?"

Y/N: "Oh don't worry about it, I have an idea."

Y/N puts his mask on quickly and passes Gwen his guitar, he steps on the ledge before the two of them and turns back to Gwen.

Y/N: "Stay here, I will be back in like five minutes."

Gwen: "What are you gonna do?"

Y/N smirks under his mask before falling backwards off the building and leaving Gwen alone.

Gwen: "Y/N!"

TIMESKIP

After about an hour of waiting Gwen hears a noise coming from the door to the roof behind her. Her eyes widen in shock and she drops off the side of the building and sticks to the wall, hiding from whoever was coming.

Y/N: "Gwen? You here?"

Gwen jumps back up onto the roof, she finds Y/N standing there in a Vision's Academy uniform and holding a back in his hand.

Gwen: "Where have you been?! You said you would be five minutes!"

Y/N: "Relax I got us in. We have a whole schedule, uniform and a dorm room."

Gwen: "How exactly did you manage that?"

Y/N: "Oh don't worry about it, it was nothing too difficult."

Gwen gives him an unsure look but decides to believe him.

Gwen: "What's in the bag?"

Y/N: "Oh yeah, here you go."

Y/N throws Gwen the back, she opens it to find a uniform.

Y/N: "I had to guess the size so I hope it fits."

TIMESKIP

Gwen and Y/N walk through one of the halls of the academy, Y/N leading the way. He leads Gwen over to a door at the end of the hall and unlocks it, he ushers her inside and closes the door behind the two of them.

Gwen: "Is this the dorm room?"

Y/N: "Yeah, we are gonna have to share because there was only one left that wasn't already occupied by actual students."

Gwen: "What about when one of us needs to change or something though?"

Y/N: "The other person just leaves I guess; not really much else I could have done with this."

Y/N walks over to the desk and opens up a bag that is there and takes out some books that they would need for the classes.

Gwen: "How did you get those?"

Y/N: "Don't worry too much it was nothing illegal there is a library."

He then reaches into the bag and pulls out some notebooks.

Gwen: "And what about those?"

Y/N: "These I did steal but it's fine."

Gwen: "That is not fine!"

Y/N: "No one is gonna know and besides we aren't gonna be here for long, just until we can figure out a way to get home."

Gwen: (sighs) "Ok, fine."

Y/N: "Your class schedule is on the bed by the way."

Gwen walks over to the bed and picks up the schedule, examining it.

Y/N: "I put us in most of the same classes becau-"

Gwen: "Why does the name say 'Gwanda'?"

Y/N: "Just thought it would be funny to see you have to try and justify the name 'Gwanda' when someone asks."

Gwen groans and flops down onto the bed behind her.
