A/N: I apologise for any spelling mistakes I make.

3rd POV: Peter gasped as the vision faded, and he found himself back where he was with bast/shuri still laying on top of him, concerned about his wellbeing. When he looked back at his hand, peter found that the mask of anansi was no longer in his possession and wasn't on the floor either when he checked.

"Where'd the mask go?" Peter muttered as he looked around for it.

"It disappeared after you held it, but forget the mask for the moment. Are YOU alright?" The black panther goddess asked, worry clear in her tone.

Peter was about to answer and say he was fine, but the voice of the spider god made him pause.

"《How curious....》" anansi spoke up. The spider god went silent for a moment before he made himself heard once more. "《It seems our mind and soul have been.....partially healed. The damage is still there, but it has decreased substantially. I can only assume that my mask absorbed and housed a portion of my godly power, and when it came in contact with you, your body unconsciously absorbed it and began to temporarily heal the damage.》" The spider god hypothesised.

"《That's nice and all, but why did I suddenly see those memories, more specifically yours?》" Peter asked the spider god.

"《Well, they're technically OUR memories, so I wouldn't be surprised that you would see them too. As for seeing those specific ones, it could be because that was the last time I was "alive," or it could be something else, perhaps a warning.》"

"《A warning about what?》" Peter asked. Though he had a feeling he knew the answer.

"《Greater threats beyond our omniverse, a deadly alliance perhaps. I unfortunately don't remember a lot of it. So for now, it's best not to worry about it. We'll just have to deal with it when the time comes.》" Anansi went silent for a moment before an audible gulp could be heard in the wallcrawler's mind. "《I also suggest you refocus on reality because bast is looking really pissed off, and you don't want to know what happens when she's like that!!》"

Peter's spidey sense suddenly went off, and the webslinger instantly brought a hand up to catch an incoming fist that was aimed for his face but then received an open palm strike to his chest that sent him lying back down on the semi smashed table with shuri's elongated claws tracing along his chest before a singular claw trailed up his neck and ended up under his chin.

"You do know I do not like being ignored anansi, especially by you." The black panther growled before she pulled her clawed hand back, her tone softening. "Now, I'll ask again. Are you alright?"

"....yeah." The reincarnation of anansi spoke after reviewing what the spider god had told him. "Just had a flashback after I grabbed the mask, and I appearantly absorbed it and temporarily healed my soul and mind as a bonus."

"So, you're feeling better now?" Shuri asked, hopeful that peter is no longer on the edge of tearing himself apart if he used the power of the Web of life and destiny.

"Yeah, a lot better now." Peter said before gently removing shuri off of him and getting off the table, telepathically communicating the teared parts of his suit to return and merge with his outfit and repair the damage that shuri done to it. "Not out of the woods, though."

"At least your health has improved." Bast said as she snapped her fingers, and soon the damage to the room was repaired along with her suit, and then leaned on the spider totem's back, wrapping her arms around his neck. "And now that I have you in my clutches, I will never let you leave my sight." Bast then tightens her hold slightly and rubs the spider symbol on Peter's chest, whilst internally cheering to herself. 'SUCK IT PHEONIX!!!! I GOT TO ANANSI BEFORE YOU DID AND STAKED MY CLAIM TO HIM!!!! HE'S MINE AND I'M HIS AND I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY HARM COME TO THE MAN THAT HAS BURROWED HIS WAY INTO MY HEART!!! LEAST OF ALL FROM YOU!!!'
