Clashing Dimensions

chapter 2

"No I don't!" I shout back. "I'm sure I sound crazy to you, 'cause your dimension doesn't have a Spiderwoman but I'm not actually crazy....ok ..maybe a little crazy but still" I say. I have a serious yapping problem.

He doesn't say anything and there's an awkward silence for a few moments. Looks like he's thinking.

"Ok let's say I believe this 'Spiderwoman' shit. How does your body even make 'webs.'" It felt like he was an investigator and I, a criminal he was trying to catch in a lie.

"You definitely aren't gonna believe this." I sigh. I explain my whole backstory and watch as his little eye slits widen and shrink at every word. I end off with a classic spider-pun and wait for his reaction.

He laughs.

A pretty intimidating laugh with the voice-changer but a laugh nonetheless.

"Seriously?" he asks, still laughing.

"I'm not even going to try to convince you that I'm telling the truth but I am" I say. He slowly stops laughing and I let out a sigh.

"Okay..now that that's over can you point me in the direction of your  Alchemex?"
I need to get back home
He lifts a claw and points eastish.

"Thanks" I say as Ipull of the webs. "Token of my appreciation" I add.

It looks like he contemplates attacking me again but decides against it. He nods. I do a little run before diving of the roof and swinging eastish.

◇◇

I land on the roof of Alchemex with a lot of my mind. How can they not have a Spiderman..? And why is the prowler so young.

I shake my head. It doesn't matter anyway. I'll be home soon.

My spidey senses go off again. Ofcourse they do. He's been following me this whole time. I kinda want to confront him but also I could let him think that he's being super stealthy.

Which he kind of is. That just doesn't work on me.

I survey the buildinf before deciding to enter though on of the air vents. If this Alchemex is anything like the one at home I should be entering the vent that will get me  the closest to the collider.

The vent closes with a soft clack. I slolwy crawl. The vents creak with every movement. I hope the security guards can't hear me.

I crawl some more and have to resist cringing and every creak. I've passed five rooms and hopefully the next one is the room right across the collider. I reach it's vent and stop. I peak in through the slits.

Average office. A desk with papers scattered all over it. An empty chair and a small bench with some lab stuff on it. It's empty. Good.

I drop in and land softly. I twist the doorknob and peek into the hallway. A few scientists walking up and down.

I need a disguise.

I close the door and look around. Nothing hear. I'm about to leave when I hear it. Creak.  It's soft but i definitely heard it.

I can't believe he followed me here. I thwip a web next to the vent and look into it. Direct eye contact.

"Why are you following me" I ask.

He's quiet for a second. I watch his eye thingies widen.

"How did you know" he whispers.

"Spidey sense. It warns me in advance"

"Are you seriously still using that excuse?" he asks,a little annoyed.

"Answer my question." I say.

"Huh" he lets out.

"Why are you following me." I raise a brow.

"I'm curious" he grins.

I roll my eyes. "I'm using the collider and going back to my dimension. As long as you don't mess that up, you can come with" I offer.

I don't even know why I did that. My prowler would've been flying kicked by now.

"Bet. But I'm coming because I don't believe you." He agrees, faking reluctance.

"Okay. There's a lab around the corner, we're getting coats."
