Chapter 17-This is a Real Problem...

Gwen's POV:

I woke up to the sound of ambulance sirens, sobs, and talking. I groaned, trying to sit up and feeling everything in my body ache. I was alive and my hopper seemed like it was working again.

"She's awake," I heard someone whisper as I opened my eyes to see paramedics standing above me. I squinted my eyes not knowing what's going on. "Okay Miss, I want you to tell me what happened. Can you speak?"

I nod. "Yeah, I can talk perfectly fine,"

"Okay, does anything hurt?" the paramedic asks as he looks at me, making sure I didn't have major injuries. I couldn't tell him that everything ached or they would probably take me in and that was the last thing I needed. 

I shake my head. "Just a small headache from being knocked by the vi-" I remember passing out seeing Miles go against Tinkerer, and that gets me to sit up and I take in everything that's going on, the destruction in the house and for some reason there was a big blood stain on the floor that was being covered by police as they looked around the living room. "Is he okay?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"My friend, Miles. He's dark skinned, kinda has an afro," I say describing him.

"He's outside," the paramedic answers. "Do you need help getting up?"

I nod and he lends out a hand helping me up and I notice that the guys were outside surrounding someone who was sitting on the end of the driveway as a ambulance drove away. Miles's dad was on the side talking to someone on the phone and it looked like he was crying. Police were questioning Noir as the others surrounded someone. 

I walked out of the hole in the house and made my way down the driveway and the sound of sobs got louder as I approached the group of people. "Guys?" I ask and they all turn to me, showing me the person in the middle shaking and crying, and it was Miles.

"What happened?" I asked, panicking as I sat down as they made way for me. They were quiet as Miles's sobs quieted for a second. 

"T-They killed my m-mom Gwen, t-they k-killed her," he says, balling himself up as he hugged his knees to his chest. "S-she's gone," I felt terrible for Miles, knowing what that felt like. Seeing Miles like this broke my heart.

"Tinkerer got away," Peter says as he looks at me. "We couldn't find them,"

Oh no... "I'm so sorry Miles," I say, looking at him while his sobs begin to silence. He shakes his head continuously as he propped his chin on his knees, looking at me and then everyone. 

I looked at the others, and they had no clue what to do next and just as helpless as I was. Clearly this Tinkerer person was evil to the point that they would kill someone and I don't know what would have driven them to do that. 

"They knew somehow that I was Spider-Man," Miles says in a whisper as he sniffled, a tear falling from his eye. "I don't know how, but they did and they want revenge for something,"

"They probably figured it out after a while," Peni says as SP//dr chirps in agreement. 

"What do we do next about the robot person?" Ham asks.

"Next thing we do know is you're not safe here and we need to move you somewhere because Tinkerer could jump on you again when none of us are here," Peter says, and we know he's right. But where could we put him? This Tinkerer sounded like they could jump universes and they probably know where each of us live. 

Then, I think of that girl, Doreen and the card with the number she gave me. She could be a big help if I just called her and her universe or whatever could keep him safe if they're as exclusive as she said. 

"Who's going to defend my universe while I'm gone then? I can't let the city go Spider-Manless," Miles says, wiping his tears. 

"We'll all chime in to help with your universe, Miles," I say without thinking, but instead of the bizarred look I expected from the others, they all nod. 

"You need time to mentally heal from what just happened, and you don't want to be distracted and fight," Peter says.

"We'll all help, don't worry Miles," Peni says as she smiles. 

"We'll whack the crap out of those villains and they won't bother to make trouble," ham says as he pulls out a hammer and pretends to whack something. 

Miles smiles. "You guys are the best," he says as he looks at me. "but where will I be? Tinkerer knows probably where we all live and I don't know where to go,"

I sigh. "I know a place," I say as I get confused looks from everyone. "Well, technically it's someone, and they have a place for Miles,"
