CHAPTER TWO 🕸️

     (Y/N) PULLED away from miguel, she pulled her hands away from him and stood up. she takes a few steps back while wiping the few tears that escaped her eyes. miguel watched her, he so badly wanted to be the one to wipe her tears away but he couldn't. he stood up with his fists balled up on his sides, he fought the urge to rush to (y/n) and comfort her. miguel looked at peter who had an eyebrow raised in confusion, he looked back at (y/n) and started to speak.

"i'm miguel o'hara the spiderman from earth-928, and this is my partner," miguel gestured towards peter, who was gently patting the sleeping baby in the carrier, "peter b parker, he's from earth 616B."

(y/n) looked at miguel and at peter, of course she knew all about the multiverse and thousands of alternative realities that exists within it. after all, she's been studying the multiverse and the realities within it with her good friend doctor strange after her protégé peter parker went missing.

"what do you want from me?" she weakly asked.

"we need your help," peter said. he looked at miguel, waiting for a signal to continue. when his partner nodded he spoke again, "miguel has been recruiting spider people like you and i from across the multiverse to join the "spider society", an organization that helps balance and protect the multiverse from anomalies that can cause destruction in a certain reality."

(y/n) sat down on a stool, she tried to process what peter just told her but her brain just couldn't get the fact that another version of her dead husband is in the same room as her. she let's out a shaky breath and pinched the bridge of her nose as she tried to think of what to say.

"so you're telling me that the two of you have been recruiting people like us from across the multiverse to form some kind of— spiderman army to protect the multiverse?" (y/n) asked.

peter nodded his head, "technically miguel started everything and i just pretty much tagged along but yeah."

"and you want me to join your little army?" (y/n) asked again.

peter elbowed miguel who's been quiet this whole time to say something- anything, to help covince (y/n) to say yes. to be honest he's still confused about that thing that happened earlier but he'll just have to bother miguel about that later on, he just wanted to get this over with seeing that he only has 30 minutes till 8:00pm when mj expects him and their baby to be back for dinner.

miguel side eyes peter and looked at (y/n), his eyes stared into hers as he struggled to think of anything to say. after a few moments, he finally opened his mouth to speak. "we've done research on you but we barely found anything. all we know is that you once helped defeat the scarlet witch who was about to cause a rift in the multiverse in search for his sons, and that you're very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and all about the multiverse."

miguel pauses as he watched (y/n), he tried reading her face for any kind of reaction but you remained still listening to what he has to say, so he continued. "the spider society would love to have you as a part of it, we could really use your help especially since—"

a loud beeping from one of the huge monitors in the apartment cuts him off. (y/n) curses then fiddled with something on her watch, suddenly her suit disappeared and was replaced with a gray hoodie and sweatpants. peter's eyes widen and he look at miguel in shock.

"i want one of those, can you add something like that my suit or—" miguel shuts peter up by aggressively placing a hand on his mouth, peter gave him an offended look but he rolled his eyes and gestured towards (y/n). on her monitor screen was a woman and a child and miguel immediately recognized who they are.

"hello ma," (y/n) greeted casually. her mother seems to be calling from her phone because of the intense tapping on the screen. "anak bakit hindi naka on yung video mo?" (child why isn't your video on?)

(y/n) grimaced as she remembered the two spidermen behind her, "i'm still at work mama but i'm almost done and will be home soon." she laughed nervously. her mother seems to be satisfied with her response, and dropped the subject regarding the camera. she then pointed the camera to a child sitting on her lap, she looked to be about two or three years of age.

"see," (y/n)'s mother said to the child. "i told you that mama will be home soon gabriella."

gabriella... miguel's eyes widen in shock. his heart constricted as he watched you interact with his daughter— their daughter, in this universe at least. he can't believe this, first he finds an alternate version of his dead ex-wife and now, his dead daughter. miguel doesn't know how much more of this he can take, he looks away fron the computer screen and turned his gaze to the ground.

the conversation lasted for a few minutes until (y/n) promised her mother and daughter that she's on the way home, she dropped the call then pressed the top of her watch activating her suit. she turned around and looked at peter and miguel. "as much as i want to take you guys up on your offer i can't."

miguel tore his gaze away from the ground and onto (y/n), he opened his mouth to reason with her but peter beats him to it.

"but you—"

"i'm sorry," (y/n) smiles apologetically avoiding miguel's eyes. "as much as i want to help i can't just leave my universe to go save other ones. i have a daughter to take care off and god knows what'll happen to me if i went on a mission to go save the world again. besides, i'm already thinking of retiring. the world has enough heroes looking after it, but my daughter only has me. i'm sure you understand."

and with that (y/n) puts her mask on and jumped out of the apartment building swinging from building to building. her heart was heavy and tears were streaming down her masked face, she arrived in an alleyway a few blocks away from her house. her back hits the wall and she let herself slide down, she deactivates her suit and held her head in her hands as she cried.

miguel and peter were left in silence, none of them bothered to move as they processed what (y/n) just said. a few minutes have passed and the silence was broken when peter's watch started to beep signaling that he only had five more minutes till 8:00pm, he sighed and pats miguel's shoulder.

"she seemed pretty adamant miguel, i don't think we can manage to convince her." peter says. "well we better go. do you mind opening up a direct portal to my earth? i only have at least four minutes until 8:00 and mj is—"

miguel sighed and slashed the air opening a portal, peter walked towards it but looked at miguel before going in. "you owe me an explanation tomorrow, and don't do anything stupid miguel. i trust you to use your brain and not let your emotions get to you." peter says then walked into the portal to his world, leaving miguel alone in the apartment building.

he knew that at this point he should just leave (y/n) be and move on to the next spider person to recruit, but of course he lets his emotions get to him. miguel opened a portal back to headquarters with (y/n) and gabriella engraved in his mind. he has to convince her to join the spider society, and see (y/n) and their daughter again somehow.
