Silk & Cologne | Miguel O'Hara

Chapter 1: Origins

"There never was a Spider-Woman in Earth-1218, and there never will be!" - Miguel O'Hara in the not so distant future.

"Oh no, oh no, no, no!"

Margo Kess, codename "Spider-Byte", was scrambling around the room, interacting with various consoles as she monitored the latest mission of the Spider-Society. A villain anomaly was detected in another universe, a gateway opening up as a Doc Ock found himself in a dimension where he shouldn't be and was currently laying waste to Oscorp. It seemed like Alchemax wasn't the only ones studying inter-dimensional travel.

That universe's Peter Parker had arrived at the scene expecting to see his Doc Ock, but was surprisingly mistaken when he saw that his Doc Ock had actual Octopus tentacles and was part sea creature. He was almost outmatched when Miguel O'Hara, Spider-Man 2099, and Peter B. Parker "Spider-Man", arrived just in the nick of time through one of their portals, courtesy of their watches.

That was not the reason why Spider-Byte was freaking out. As she was monitoring the fight, she knew that the team could handle themselves, especially Miguel. He was in his element here. His predatory like senses kicking into overdrive as he fought Doc Ock head on, while Peter B. escorted that universe's Spider-Man and other innocent civilians to safety.

"Lyla! Please tell me a part of you is still here!" Margo's voice strained as she whined, her finger types scrambling on the keyboard.

"You called, Byte?" The holographic AI appeared on her shoulder as she fluffed out her jacket and adjusted her heart shaped glasses. "Wow, you seemed stressed,"

"I am stressed, Miguel and Peter are in a lot of trouble!" She stated.

"Why, what's wrong?" Lyla asked, sounding very concerned.

Byte summoned a digital duplicate of herself as she ran over and grabbed a monitor, bringing it over to Lyla. "Look!"

Margo played the moment back frame by frame so Lyla could analyze it clearly. The monitor showed one of the radioactive spider's from Oscorp falling through one of the wayward portal's of the Oscorp Collider during the fight. It had happened when Doc Ock tried to tackle Miguel from behind, but Spider-Man 2099 threw him over his shoulder, his back and arm muscles pulsing as he roared, tossing him towards the spider-containment.

It appeared Miguel was so focused on the fight, he didn't notice one little spider escape. Or the handful of armed guards that jumped in after it.

"Oh, this is bad," Lyla hissed uncomfortably after watching the footage.

"You have to tell him! I can't tell him, he'll freak out," Spider-Byte panicked as she focused in on the portal.

"Don't worry sweetcakes. Just focus on figuring out what dimension that portal was locked on to," Lyla reassured Margo with a motherly smile. "I'll handle the big guy,"

Earth - 1997

Once all the civilians were evacuated, the three Spider-Man worked together to web-shot Doc's arms and tentacles together, webbing them like he was cattle on a stick before slamming him to the floor. When he was down, Miguel tossed a device at his feet, a red energy shield-like cage activating as it crowded around him. He yelled, banging his fists and tied tentacles against the cage, but it didn't falter.

"Yeah, we got'em!" Peter B. cheered, raising a hand towards Miguel. "Give me five!"

Miguel shot Peter B a glance through his mask, just staring at him. "Really?"

"Alright, no high five for you," Peter B pouted as he turned around and gave the high five to the other Peter. "You were awesome back there!"

"I was just following you guys. I had no idea there were more people like me," He laughed. "Any chance this could be a regular thing,"
