Chapter 07

As I swung through the city as Spiderman, the echoes of the school incident lingered in my mind. Dealing with Flash was a reminder that even in a different dimension, some things never change. The responsibility to protect those who can't protect themselves weighs heavy on my shoulders.

My encounter with Superman Prime had not only transformed my abilities but also brought unexpected changes in my personal life. The luxury apartment, the substantial bank account, and the impressive gifts were more than I could have ever imagined. It was a double-edged sword – a blessing and a reminder of the immense power and influence that Superman Prime possessed.

As I patrolled the city, my thoughts returned to the conversation with my variant. The mention of other Spiderman variants intrigued me, and the revelation about Superior Spiderman sparked my disdain. The determination to protect my loved ones and rid the world of those who bring harm fueled a sense of justice that transcended dimensions.

Ursula Ditkovich, now my wife, brought a new chapter to my life. The unexpected marriage, orchestrated by Superman Prime, was a testament to the complexities of this alternate universe. Despite the initial shock, my growing affection for Ursula made the union feel genuine. The notion of being a married man, as Superman Prime emphasized, added a layer of responsibility that resonated with my commitment to justice.

The conflict within me – the desire for a normal life versus the duty to protect – intensified. Superman Prime's training extended beyond physical abilities; it delved into skills I never deemed essential. Cooking and accounting became unexpected tools in my arsenal, further blurring the lines between Peter Parker and Spiderman.

Back at school, the aftermath of the Education Board's intervention reshaped the dynamics. Flash and his gang faced consequences, and the absence of the former principal hinted at a changing tide. As I navigated through the altered social landscape, the confrontation in the cafeteria revealed the volatile nature of my emotions.

Gwen's reaction to my revelation about marriage didn't go unnoticed. The complex web of relationships continued to unravel as I grappled with the responsibility of protecting not just the city but also my personal life.

The Spidey Alarm brought me back to my superhero duties, and I activated the Copy Robot to maintain a semblance of normalcy in my absence. As I swung through the city, I couldn't help but wonder about the challenges that lay ahead – both as Peter Parker and Spiderman.

The city lights below me illuminated the path, reflecting the dual nature of my existence. Balancing the newfound luxuries, unexpected marriage, and the relentless pursuit of justice, I soared through the night, ready to face whatever challenges this alternate universe had in store for Spiderman.
