Silk & Cologne | Miguel O'Hara

Chapter 3: Introductions

Miguel and Peter B. decided to split up. Peter B. would take the unconscious guards back to their dimension to stop them from glitching and causing a rift in the canon event and their dimension from potentially collapsing, while Miguel escorted the bitten woman back to HQ.

Earth - 928

Miguel carried the woman in his arms as he rushed through the portal, informing Lyla to have Spider-Doctor prepare the sick bay for his arrival. He could hear her pain, mumbling in her sleep. It appeared she was still experiencing the side effects of the transformation.

Her head rolled around her shoulders to lean against his bicep, the touch causing Miguel to look down at her briefly as he breezed through the Going Home facility, not even glancing at Spider-Byte as she yelled out, "What happened?!"

Miguel's expression remained stoic and serious as he kept running down the hall, passed the multitude of Spider-Persons who looked on with a mixture of confusion and concern and there were some who gladly stepped out of his way so he could continue on with no issue. Although he couldn't help it, there was a hint of sympathy in his eyes. Of all the dimensions in the multiverse, nothing was supposed to happen in Earth-1218.

Nothing of this magnitude, and now an innocent civilian was bitten and he blamed himself for it.

He'd make it right. By any means. Like he always did.

He ran through the automatic doors of the medical bay, his mask destabilizing as he caught his breath, looking around frantically. "Doc?"

"Over here, Miguel!" A Spider-Man wearing a lab coat and stethoscope around his neck waved him over towards a free bed.

Miguel jogged over, setting the woman down gently as the Doctor attached some IV's to her and dabbed a wet washcloth on her forehead to clean the sweat off her.

"How long has she been like this?" The Doctor asked.

"Almost two hours, I believe," Miguel nodded slowly as he ran the numbers in his head, reliving the events over and over to make sure he was accurate.

"Doesn't look like a female Parker," Spider-Doc commented as he checked for swelling or bruising along her skin. "What dimension is she from?" 

"Earth-1218," Miguel hissed with a ping of disappointment in his voice.

"What?!" The Doc's eyes widened through the mask. "But I thought with their dimensions physics and laws..?"

"It's not supposed to happen, to never happen in fact, tienes razón," Miguel sighed with his hands on his hips. "But it did. A Spider from another dimension escaped into that one," - You're right.

"Do you still have it?" Doc asked with a sense of eagerness. "We could analyze it. We don't know how the venom will react with her body from a dimension so pure,"

Miguel reached into his suit, pulling out the small case with the dead spider in it as he handed it to the doctor. "Their Oscorp scientist mentioned that extracting the venom could kill her if she loses too much blood. I don't want to imagine what will happen if it stays inside her and reacts horribly,"

"My fluids will help her body fight any infection, but I think I can formulate a blood transfusion with her blood and the spider to create an antidote to stabilize her. She'll have the venom, but it won't kill her," he explained as the eyes of his mask came to life, scanning and analyzing the spider.

"Do whatever you need to do. I'm not having anyone die on me," Miguel commanded with a firm point to the woman.

"I'll get started right away!" Spider-Doc carefully extracted a drop of blood from the woman's arm, carrying the blood sample and the spider to his work station.
