EARTH-616's MIGUEL O'HARA was having a great morning.
He knew he was getting that promotion today at work. He'd already been briefed about it yesterday; today they'd ask him formerly. His hair was styled in perfect waves – not even the humid air could mess it up – and he was wearing his best suit. The same suit that had been passed down to him from his father. His coffee order this morning had been free because they messed up the previous cup. He was perfectly on time to get to the office. Everything felt right and at peace.
However ... Miguel couldn't help but feel something was off. How could everything be so perfect, but there was still a nagging feeling deep in his chest? He was walking to work, looking around at the hoards of people also on their way to work or the subway, and wondering if he wasn't clued in on something. He glanced up. Was that Spider-freak around or something? The skies were clear. The air was warm and a little sticky. But Miguel knew something had shifted within him. He just wasn't clear on what.
But then, Miguel noticed an attractive woman with pretty braids and dark skin walk by him in a matching pantsuit, completely distracting him. She smiled when he looked at her, and he couldn't help but have his eyes follow her as she moved past him. He smirked, turning around to see if he could get her number.
This was a typical day for Miguel O'Hara in Earth-616.

"I don't understand why you're being so difficult, Mel," Jude said, holding out the small tank to the woman across the bar. "You said you always wanted my Betta Fish."
Melanie was the head bartender at Joe's on 48th Ave, a local joint Jude would go to with coworkers or alone on a bad night. She'd become fast friends with Melanie – they were into similar books and music, and sometimes even had Bachelorette nights together if their schedules aligned. Melanie had told her a few times that she'd love to have a Betta Fish just like Jude's, but didn't know where to find one with such pretty coloring. Jude had gotten hers at a local pet store, but since she was going away for a pretty long time, she thought this was the perfect time to finally hand her little fish over to Melanie.
