"Spider Man? The blue and red suit, superhero?"

Eve is shocked to receive this information.

Just as Miguel expected, Eve would be shocked by this.

Being Spider Man is just like being a soldier sent to war. If the enemy is overpowered, it's rather they come home badly wound or never made it back at all.

"Oh Miguel, why didn't you think of telling me?" Eve seemed very worried, she took a deep breath and looked at Miguel, she just finished patching up Miguel.

The bandages already show some redness.

Miguel didn't say anything, he felt that, if he said anything, Eve wouldn't want him anymore.

Because the secret of being Spider Man, cannot be told.

And humans would react the opposite when they found the person is not a normal human like them.

But Eve wasn't someone like that.

"At least you made it home," Eve gently hugged Miguel, she gently rested her head on Miguel's shoulder, sobbing.

"Gosh, I thought that I lost you forever, there were no responses at all," she cries.
"I'm sorry Mi Amor," Miguel felt so bad to see Eve like this, he was supposed to make Eve the happiest woman ever but seeing her crying, broke his heart.

"I'll report my mission to you next time, I promise."

*

It has already been a week since Miguel came home wounded. He has healed mostly.

Miguel finally brought Eve to the HQ. Surprisingly, Eve doesn't seem as shocked as Miguel thought she would.

Maybe it's because she already saw Miguel in the suit.

"Gosh, if you didn't tell me they are all from different universes, I would seriously think you have some weird kinks for Spiderman and ask everyone to dress like Spiderman," Eve laughed.
"Eve I don't have weird-"
"I know, I'm just joking."

"This is amazing," Eve sat on a rolling chair and just started rolling around Miguel's room/office.
"Be careful," Miguel looked at Eve, worried that she would accidentally fall into the spider hole.

"First thing is Mayday, now your girlfriend," Jess sighed, she's just here to pass some documents to Miguel.
"Don't worry, I'm friendly," Eve raised her hands up and continued rolling around the room.

Eve started to show up at the HQ more often, she would literally just show up whenever she's free. Eve manages to make friends with every SpiderMan in the building, remembering the names is quite easy, since it's all mostly Peter. Eve would be here as well, to keep on check about Miguel's meal time.

She just wants to eat with Miguel.

"Miguel," Eve called Miguel, while she had a pocky in her mouth, she just wanted Miguel to eat it.
"Mi Amor, I'm working at the moment."
"C'mon," Eve whined as she ate all the Pocky, "you're gonna regret it later, you miss the chance to kiss me," Eve smug and proceeded to walk out the room.

A strong force pulled Eve and the next moment she knows, a big arm is wrap around Eve's waist. As their eyes met, Miguel's gaze softened, he has his whole world wrap around his arm at the moment.

"Did you just use your web to pull me up here?" Eve smirked as she slowly move her hand up to his gorgeous face, "cause it's very hot when you grab me like that."
"I still have some Pocky left, we can do it the whole box if that's what you want," Miguel uses his web to open the drawer and pull out a pocky box from it.
"You're finally done with work?"
"Si, Mi Amor," he passed the Pocky to Eve, waiting for her to unpack it and place one on her lip, just so Miguel could bite it and slowly move forward to Eve's lip.

Eve sat on Miguel's desk, having the Pocky stick in her mouth.

"Come and get it, papi."

Miguel was surprised to hear that but it didn't stop him making the move. As Miguel takes one bite by one bite, the closer he gets, the louder their heartbeats are. Miguel was focusing on biting the pocky stick, making sure it won't break, when he looked up at Eve, her face immediately covered in red. The way Miguel looked at Eve, his gaze softened as it's almost like puppy doll eyes, matching with that handsome face, who's heart wouldn't skip a beat?

The lovely couple are having fun with the Pocky stick, they didn't know Peter B, Jess and Lyla are hiding in the darkness watching everything happen.

"Thank god I didn't bring Mayday here today," Peter B sighed.
"At least Miguel seems happy," Jess whispered.
"Yeah, ever since Eve came into his life, he got more happy than before even though he still has his cold side," Peter rolled his eyes.
"Well, we now have a lovely couple in the society."

Jess and Peter B continued watching Eve and Miguel having fun together, until.

"Guys, don't you think Eve looks like the Mafia killer?" Lyla asked, showing the footage she just managed to get her hands onto.

"It can't be, Eve is mostly here, unless she's some high class assasin that can wipe out thousands within ten minutes," Peter B scoffed.
"She can't be the mafia killer," Jess followed.
"I hope you guys are right, I should find a time to tell Miguel about it, when he's alone," Lyla looked at Eve and Miguel.

They hoped the female figure in the footage wasn't Eve.

"What are you guys doing here?" Miguel standing behind them.
"Miguel, heyy!" Peter B panicked, "we were just passing by, we should get going now, come on Jess, let's go."
"See you tomorrow."

"What happened?" Eve asked as she was waiting for the platform to get down, it's really slow.
"It's nothing."

Miguel walks back to Eve and he carries her down the platform before sending it back up in the air.

"Let's go home now."

*

"You're saying Eve could be the mafia killer?" Miguel looked at Lyla, unable to believe.
"I'm not saying she is, we just need to observe her for some time."

Miguel would usually approve immediately but this time is his lover, the one he loves. He couldn't help it but to hesitate.

"I-"

"I'll look into it."
