A Leap of Faith (Miles Morales x Gender Neutral Reader)

Chapter 12 (NEW MOVIE SPOLIERS START HERE ⚠️)

"Why wear a mask if you've got nothing to hide?" Gwen's father scoffed, not trusting this Spider-Woman.

"Alright no politics at the dinner table." May said, making Y/n laugh as they sat down in a chair.

"Thank you May." Gwen rolled her eyes, before taking Y/n's hand in hers, bowing her head.

But they didn't really know me...

And I didn't really know them either...

"Hey Y/n, heard you got a thing for the blonde freak!!" Ned sneered as Y/n backed away from the bully.

"I-I don't...I..." Y/n stuttered as Ned back them against the locker, before Peter glared at Ned, pushing him back.

"Leave them alone Ned! It's none of your business." He tried to defend the H/c and s/h/c teen. But Ned just threw him into the locker.

"Hey!! Touch him again Ned! You leave both of them alone!" Gwen said as she quickly rushed to their rescue, pushing Ned back harshly.

"Whatever." Ned laughed, walking away. Gwen helped up Peter, then lent a hand to Y/n.

"You okay?"

"Y-Yeah...Thanks Gwen..." Y/n smiled, blush tinted their cheeks.

Until it was too late...

"Hey Gwen!"

"Hey." Gwen nodded, before smiling as they watched Y/n come walking over to her.

"Gwen! I'm so glad you wanted to come to the dance with me...I honestly thought you'd say no..." Y/n sighed, but Gwen just shook their head with a smile.

"Although parties aren't my thing...I know how much you wanted to go with me..." Gwen softly giggled, wrapping her arm around Y/n's waist.

"And I can't thank you enough! My foster parents really wanted me to go...and I didn't want to go alone..." Y/n said with a breath of relief.

"You're such a dork." Gwen laughed, before realizing Peter wasn't here., "Where's Peter?"

"I don't know. I've been looking for him for 10 minutes now." Y/n frowned as they locked hands with Gwen's to search for their friend.

It wasn't before a giant Komodo dragon came bursting out of the ground. Screeching and hissing as it attacked everything in sight. Mainly Ned.

"Y/n you need to leave now!!" Gwen said as she shoved Y/n to safety. Before Y/n could go back for Gwen, they were swept away by the rushing screaming people.

Gwen, now dressed as Ghost Spider, fought with the Mutated Lizard. Kicking it into some metal poles, and it tried to get up. Only to be smacked down by debris...

The lizard's scaly skin slowly began to turn into a human one...

"What? No..." Gwen panicked as she lifted rocks off Peter, taking him in her arms, "No no no no no no...what did you do...?"

"I just...wanted to be special...like you...Gwen..." Peter mumbled as he tried to lift up Gwen's mask, making her panic.

"Gwen? Who's Gwen?" She tried to play dumb, stopping Peter from taking off her mask.

"Don't worry...Everything's gonna be okay...Take care of Y/n for me...take care of each other no matter what...Promise me..." Peter began to close his eyes.

"Don't! Don't go!!" Gwen begged, desperately trying to get him to hold on a little longer.

"Everything's gonna be okay..." Peter said softly. No longer breathing.
