Anomaly (Miguel O'Hara x reader)

Nueva York

After Miguel's announcement that he's gonna take me shopping, I pretend I'm not giggling and kicking my feet.

Instead I sit on my spinning chair next to him and analyze all the data we have collected on my dimension and the components in my DNA.

We're both off night duty today, so he decides he's gonna leave early. It's not even eight p.m. when he stands from his chair and says "Let's get outta here."

I'm not complaining. I stand up too and follow him out.

We walk to my dorm so I can gather some stuff.

When I open my door, Hobie is there. He's sleeping soundly on top of the covers, his guitar leaned against the wall where he left it earlier in the day.

He must've been waiting for me to come back so we could hang out. I feel kinda bad that I spent all day at the lab.

I turn to Miguel and put a finger on my lips, gesturing for him to be quiet.

He looks at me with a slight air of disgust, and rolls his eyes.

I tiptoe to my desk and grab a bag. It only has my phone in it. I really have practically nothing here.

Then, I tiptoe back to the door and close it quietly behind me.

Miguel is staring down at me with a mad yet questioning expression.

"What was that about?" He asks as we walk to the elevator.

"What was what about?" I ask, pressing the button and walking in.

"Oh so we're gonna act like there wasn't a dude sleeping on your bed?" He says in an angrier tone.

I snort. "He's not a dude, he's Hobie."

He just stares at me, I can tell he's getting more mad but oh how I love pissing him off.

"He's like... my best friend?" I feel the need to clarify.

"Uh... boundaries?" He says in the same tone.

"Uh... jealous much?"

He exhales tiredly and turns around, walking out of the elevator when we reach the ground floor.

"Sooo, where are we going?" I change the subject, excited for getting out of the building I've been in for the last three weeks. Almost four.

Don't get me wrong, I love it in HQ, but I've been dying to get a tour of the city.

"Well, first of all, if it's alright with you, I'd like to get changed. I don't want people freaking out about Spider-Man taking a poorly dressed person out shopping." He replies.

"Poorly dressed? Damn." I stop in my tracks when he gets out a little remote and unlocks a smooth, spotless silver car.

It looks kind of like a sportscar, it's elegant and has a smooth, flowy shape.

"Whoa" I say under my breath.

"Get in and wait here, I'll be right back." He instructs. Then, he gets some stuff out of the trunk and walks away.

I do as I'm told. Kind of.

I get in the driver's seat.

The seat is way too far from the pedals for me, because this dude is like, a giant.

The inside is all black, and the seats are a nice smooth fabric. There's a soft, yellow light string that travels all over the ceiling to the control panel and the steering wheel.

I expected the car to smell like new because it looks new. There's literally not a spec of dust in or on the car.

But instead, it smells like his signature strong vanilla scent. I look to see if he has some kind of perfume but I don't find anything.

After a while, I hear the trunk open and close, and Miguel, who's changed into a loose pair of what look like jeans and another one of those fancy sweaters, walks around the car to find me in the driver's seat.

I press a button on the side of the door and hope for it to be the one that rolls down the window.

The glass of the window disintegrates which startles me a bit, but I lean my arm on the door and smirk up at Miguel.

"Sube nena" I tell him.

(Meaning: get in babe/babygirl)

I actually manage to get out a laugh out of him, like a loud one. He's slapping his knee and everything. He opens the door and helps me out.

"Where did you learn that?" He asks when he's done laughing.

"I saw it in a movie once" I grin at him as I walk around the car to get into the passenger seat.

"The pronunciation was impressive" he comments once we're both in. He's smiling a little which makes my stomach go all butterflyish.

He starts the car, which makes a smooth sound as it rises from the ground and starts hovering away on the road.

The feeling is kind of like being in a very smooth rollercoaster. It glides up in the air and follows a line of traffic that's passing through literally air. We're about three stories high.

And the traffic only keeps getting higher.

We fly around countless buildings and skyscrapers, the lights of the city at night reflecting on the lakes below us. The scenery is beautiful.

Eventually we drive away from the traffic, and stop at what looks kind of like a car balcony in the middle of a really tall and thin building with blueish lights.

Miguel gets off and opens my door, helping me get off too. Then, he tosses the car remote to a weird looking floating robot, that gets in the car and drives off.

I assume he's kind of like the guys that park the car for you, except Miguel didn't tip him because, he's a robot?

He grabs my arm lightly and guides me inside the glass doors.

A wave of cold AC air and a nice floral smell fills my nose. There's soft music playing in the distance and very fancy looking people walking around with bags and food.

The place is huge, mainly white marble and metal and glass railings. Mechanical stairs go up and down through a big hole in the middle of the floor, in every floor going up the whole building.

It's like the fanciest, biggest mall I've ever been in.

Miguel chuckles at my expression. I must look really stupid but I'm very excited and impressed.

"Where do we even start in this place?" I ask, still baffled by the immensity of the mall.

"Don't get too excited sweetheart. I'm only getting you basic stuff so you can stop wearing other people's clothes." He says as he starts walking to some store.
