(gwen pov)
i don't really fully know why i did what i did. But i know this. I'm done being spiderwoman. everytime i do it something goes bad, or someone gets hurt. I love miles more than anything on the planet. But i can't be the reason he gets hurt or maybe even dies.
(miles pov, tuesday morning)
my eyes open and i looked around my room. i saw the polaroid of gwen that i left on my beside table. i grabbed it and slipped it back into the sketchbook. i got up and i was really sore from my fight with hobie. i didn't even want to punch him. I just needed something to release my anger. i left my room and my mom and dad was sitting on the couch, staring at me.
"um, did i do something?"
"no miles, you didn't. but we did" my dad cheesed
i walked over to them and put my hands on the back on the couch.
"so, what did y'all do"
"miles. me and your father, or me. i'm pregnant." she smiled
that is not what i thought they were gonna say.
"wow! mom, dad. that's awesome. i'm going to be a big brother!"
i jumped up and down for a second.
"we don't know the gender yet but we will tell you when we know"
"whattt, no gender reveal party" i frowned
my mom and dad looked at each other.
"not after last time"
"what happened last time?"
"your dad, he dropped the cake. which had blue frosting in it"
i looked over at my dad who gave me an awkward half smile.
"well, i gotta get ready. i'm gonna go out and do something today. maybe find a job?"
"a job?! that's great"
"i'm gonna see if teo needs some extra help, love yall" i said while walking back into my room.
i walked into my room and changed into a pair of jeans. my jacket and my jordans
i picked up my phone and saw a missed call and voicemail from mj.
i played the voicemail
miles are you fucking crazy dude! you punch hobie for literally no reason. i'm worried about you. call me when you can. please
i pressed the call button and she picked up immediately.
miles, finally you called me back
hey mj. sorry i just woke up. my parents are having a baby
that's great miles, im happy for them
yeah me too. i think they are having another kid because im starting to grow away from them.
yeahhh. but we need to talk though. about the fight? are you okay?
a little sore but other then that, i'm fine. how's hobie?
he's ok but he doesn't look good. you fucked him up. where did you learn to fight like that. people are saying he didn't land a punch.
self taught i guess. that was actually my first fight.
and i hope your last, i get it miles. gwen ended things with you. but that doesn't mean you can go around punching people.
if she only knew that was basically my job
i'm not that kind of person. i'm not a violent person.
i know miles, hey look i gotta go help mom with breakfast. call me whenever
ok cool. bye mj
i hung up and put my phone in my pocket. i walked out of my room and out the front door.
(teos bodega)
i walked into teos and went up to the check out. i ringed teos bell and he walked up seconds later.
"Miles! my man. so what brings you here"
"i was looking to see if you could give me a job?"
"sorry kid, i wish i could, but i cant. My dad opened this place and worked alone. i promised him id work alone too"
"that's fair, while im at it. i'm gonna grab a couple things"
i walked around the store when i came across a bouquet of flowers i knew gwen would like
"hey teo, what do you get a girl that just ended things with you" i yelled from across the store.
"nothin kid. if it's over, take the loss and move on"
i walked away from the flowers and to the drinks section.
i grabbed a gatorade from out of the fridge.
i noticed a dude standing next to me that looked really familiar.
"do i know you?" i asked
he turned and yes it was who i thought it was. Eddie Brock, Hobies neighbor.
"oh yeah man, you're the one punch kid. well more like 15 to 20 but whatever" he chuckled
"yeah, i didn't mean for that to happen"
"it was cool man. honestly i could have stopped the fight a lot sooner. But i needed to see y'all duke it out."
"well maybe if you stopped it sooner hobie wouldn't have got that hurt."
"kid, you made him bleed with the first punch. They're was a lot of anger behind that punch. so tell me, what made you so angry."
i paused for a second thinking if i should tell this guy anything.
my phone starting ringing but it wasn't for my actually number.
it was the friendly neighborhood spiderman app! shoot i haven't heard anything from this app in a while.
"i'll let you take that, hey man. what's your name?"
"miles, miles morales"
"ok miles, swing by my place if you ever wanna talk"
he walked away and i picked up the phone.
"brooklyn bridge park, 7pm. don't be late spiderman"
the person hung up the phone.
i looked around to see if anyone was in the store with me. there was no one.
i went up to the counter and bought my gatorade.
looks like im gonna have to just keep myself busy til 7.
(brooklyn bridge park, 6:45)
i swung into brooklyn bridge park and looked around for anyone or anything. i saw a white fan in the parking lot.
i could see a purple glow in the van.
out of no where the familiar glowing eyes of the prowler suit looked through the glass of the van.
they stepped out once they saw me.
"hello spiderman, early. i like it"
"ok get to point prowler, why am i here."
"why do you think you're here?"
"i dont know, that's why i asked"
"well spiderman, i know you kept my device. But you made a big mistake in doing so. well that device. it has a mic inside of it. and i've been listening. and you wanna know what i heard this morning. that you're gonna be a big brother. Miles"
my heart dropped. he's been listening this whole time.
he slipped his mask off revealing, it was hobie. His face was bruised to all hell and he was smirking.
"you son of a bitch"
i charged him but the van door slung open.
i stopped before i could strike hobie.
a man stepped out with a mask and a white suit on. but his build, his build was familar.
"hello spider-man" he removed his mask. "you miss me?"
my mouth dropped inside my mask. it can't be. it can't be kingpin! he died.
"you thought i died, well no. you see. that explosion. it was fake."
he walked closer to me.
"i'm gonna destroy you, like i destroyed your uncle. and how you destroyed me"
he pulled out of a syringe and before i could react he stuck it in my neck.
i immediately started to feel dizzy and seconds later, i blacked out.
