God this feels like when you forget your homework on the due day. Why is he staring at me like that? I guess I should ask him.. "You uh.. you doing okay there kiddo?" Now don't come at me, I know he's a grown man. I call everyone kiddo. Still don't want kids though. As I'm waiting for a response I notice his expression stiffen beneath the mask. That or he's about to drop the kids off at the pool if you catch my drift.
"You're TRN701, aren't you?" His voice was low and I mean I don't like guys but I'm sure MJ would be totally into this guy. I didn't know how to respond. TRN701?? What the fuck does that mean. "Sorry bud, my names Peter, Peter B. Par-" He cut me off mid sentence, well not really but he did get closer to me. Which I'll admit, scared me so bad I think my balls dropped again.
"Peter B. Parker, Spider-Man, Earth-TRN701. That's you, isn't it?" What was this dude doing?? He can't just say that in public. People could hear him what if this got back to MJ. I shook my head and waved a dismissive hand to him. There's only one earth so this guy must be one of those crack addicts I hear about. "Nope, just Peter B. Parker. Do you.. know who you are??"
As much as this guy scared me, I mean Jesus he was huge. His muscles showed through his suit, almost like there was no suit there at all. I can't help but admit this guy definitely could beat me up if he wanted to.
"Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man, Earth-2099." Now I know this guy is crazy. I'm the only Spider-Man, I'll always be the only Spider-Man. A sigh escaped my lips as it emerged as a cold mist. "Do you have a house Miguel?" I have to get this guy home, I'm sure MJ will understand. I mean.. she's used to this by now.
He was quiet, the night was quiet. I was getting super sweaty too. Say something you big lug. Silence. Should I check his pulse? He's stood up fine so I guess he can't be dead.. Say something. Anything.
"Come with me." He sounds pretty serious.. I wonder if I should follow him. No. No I can't. MJ's at home, she's waiting for me. Then again I am Spider-Man. She should get used to me not being around enough, in all honesty, that's why I don't want kids. I won't be good enough as a father, I'm too much of a.. workaholic?? Can that even be said for heroes?
Oh right. He wants me to answer doesn't he. "Listen champ, I would but I have a wife to get home to." Yeah, that feels right. I have to go home to my wife. My wife. Not that she'll be my wife for long, once I get home it's over. I know that already. "If you choose to stay here, your wife, your universe and everything you have ever loved will be destroyed." Oh now that sounds pretty serious. Then again this guy was delusional. Then again again, the fortune cookie from my take away last night did say something horrible was coming. I assumed it meant the divorce though... alright whatever.
"Fine. Take me away Aladdin." Yikes, that wasn't a voice I used often. I sound so cold and uncomfortable when I talk like that. MJ calls it my 'guess who's sleeping on the couch tonight' voice. I love her so much.
Before I knew it I was glitching, my whole body like a computer, was glitching. I blacked out. Though it was only for a second, once I woke up I was in some.. void? It was empty, cold and quiet. It seemed we were the only ones here, me and.. Miguel? That is. What is this place??
It's so lonely, does he live here? Makes sense. Living in a place like this would make me crazy too. I can't see a single diner for miles and trust me, you can see for miles here. Miles and miles of nothing.
God I hope there's a bathroom.
