Alright,

Let's do this again....from the beginning.

My name is Y/n L/n, and for the last eight years and two months, I've been the worlds one - and only - spiderwoman.

I've obviously had my fair share of canon events...

Losing my father, uncle, best friend. Probably enough since my mom walked out when i was young too.

Look, I'm not gonna tell you I still love being spiderwoman...

it's a fun job yeah, but it has a shit ton of rules and obligations.

• I CAN'T SAVE ANYONE I LOVE.
• I GET MONITORED "SECRETLY" BY THE SPIDER SOCIETY.
• MY UNIVERSE APPRECIATES ME, BUT IS SCARED OF ME.

okay okay okay,
you get where I'm going with this.

now let's get on with this shall we?

I'm currently on the rooftop of the highest building in Brooklyn. Why? you ask?

i saw an anomaly, and you just know i have to get to them before the Spider Society can.

i shoot a web to the side of a building near where i last saw it's movement. As soon as i land i see it, a massive....spider thing is standing on the ground, wreaking havoc.

"ah... dude's ruining my reputation..." i sigh as sling around him and wrap him up in webs. Sensing the other spiders nearby i stood and waited whilst holding the anomaly in the air with telekinesis. I know, it's really unnecessary, but i like rubbing it in their faces.

"oh, hey guys..." I said in a sarcastic tone, continuing with "why didn't you say you were coming? i could've made some tea." i say with a chuckle.

"I prefer coffee, actually." I heard a deep, soft turning around to see a 6'9ft man, in a spidersuit obviously. the rest following him, cleaning up the anomaly's mess.

"is that so? I'll be sure to remember next time Miguel, Hopefully." i say with a sarcastic tone and a laugh, raising my wrist again when all of a sudden a strong, big hand grips my shoulder to turn me around.

"you know, we've been searching for you everywhere, Shadowspider-" the man starts before i cut him off. "don't. try." i say as i shoot my webs and sling away, onto a rooftop.

he slings after me, "and why are you so resistant?" he asks me, getting closer to me, with my back turned to him i say. "Why should i join?"

silence.

is he gone?

i turned around to only see him staring at me with an unreadable expression.

"doesn't help what i try to do to convince you," he steps closer, putting a hand on my shoulder again, leaning down looking me in the eyes, "you'll always refuse my offers."

"well, you haven't given me a proper reason to join you yet." i replied with a shrug, looking him in the eyes playfully.

"does he really have to sweetheart?" i heard a British accent and looked past Miguel's shoulder to see a Spiderman with spikes on his head, a guitar hanging loosely around his figure.

"I suppose not. And if i do join, what then?" i said looking from Miguel to the spikehead. "It'd really just help us out i guess. I don't know what his game plan is." spikehead says as i look over to Miguel.

"I don't have anyone with your abilities. I need you." Miguel says with a confident stance. i sigh as i look to the ground. "fine..." i sigh just below my breath, Miguel leans in to hear my words.

"hmm, sorry darling didn't hear that," he says with a sly smirk, his hands on his hips as his ear is next to your lips.

"i said fine, now let's just go already." i say as i push past him and sling to the others.

Spikehead turns to Miguel and shrugs. "I think i like her already to be honest." he said as Miguel sighed in relief. "I do not care..." he says slinging away aswell

Hobie just shakes his head and opens his own portal. "This should be interesting." he said as he steps into it.

Miguel pulls me aside and gives me a watch. I thank him and ask, "so? what now?" as i stare up at him.

"now, I'll be taking you to Spider Society, you'll love it, trust me." he leans closer to my ear before whispering, "and i have a gift waiting there for you." i stare up at him before cautiously stepping into the portal, flying through a red tunnel and ending up in a building with pillars that are criss crossed over eachother.

Miguel is close behind me, watching my every reaction. "Y/n, welcome to Spider Society."

I smile as i see all the different versions.

before i was knocked out cold of course.
