15: Aunt May

Back at Alchemax.

Doctor Octopus who had been caught off guard by Miles' Bio-Electricity attack couldn't help but frown as she thought back to the scene.

"I was too careless," She thought, Staring into the huge forest behind the Alchemax building.

The many scientists around held onto laser guns and couldn't help but frown, the people they were shooting desperately at had already escaped.

Step.

step.

It was at this moment that a series of steps could be heard behind her.

The Kingpin carried a gloomy expression on his wide and stern face as he moved towards Doctor Octopus, he only stopped when he stood exactly right beside her.

"Spiderman.." The Kingpin muttered under his breath as he looked into the distance, the thought of Spiderman was enough to bring him some unpleasant memories about his past, instant anger could be seen flaring up on his face.

The Kingpin calmed down before turning to look at Doctor Octopus, Due to his staggering height he had to look down.

"I killed Spiderman, why....is there another one? and even a different one," The Kingpin said, trying to maintain his anger.

"tsk" Doctor Octopus clicked her tongue with a frown, and with a thought she used the strange metal tentacles behind her to rise into the air, stabilizing herself face-to-face with The Kingpin.

"two? there are three actually" Doctor Octopus said with a sarcastic smile as she raised three fingers.

Miles along with the other two managed to escape the scene and took a minibus out of Hudson Valley.

Peter who was sitting in the back leisurely couldn't help but frown as a strange object fell out of his pockets.

"What is this?" He said in slight confusion at the damaged chip in his hands, he was nearly about to throw it away.

"WAIT" Miles almost shouted, his heart began beating incredibly faster as he saw the chip.

Wasn't this the chip that the dead Spiderman had given Miles Morales before being killed by The Kingpin?

How did such a thing end up in Peter's hands, after all, Peter was from another dimension.

"Is it because of my appearance in this world? so many things are changing" Miles thought silently as he stared hard at the chip.

"Well? Are you gonna tell us what it is?" Peter said as he waved the chip around, Even Gwen was looking at Miles curiously.

"ok so, this is what happened..." Miles began explaining the whole story to the best of his memories, only going to the key parts.

"So this is the key to stopping the collider then?" Peter said with a strange look, on his head, he was now thinking that he had accidentally taken it when he went into Miles's house.

"It seems broken though?" Gwen pointed at the charred and rusty-looking chip.

"It probably doesn't work then, that sucks," Peter said as he scratched his head, perhaps he didn't want to stop the collider, to be able to get back to his dimension through it.

"I know where we can make a new one" Gwen suddenly said with a smile as she looked at Miles.

"Oh really?" Miles said hurriedly, he watched as Gwen brushed her hair to the side and he couldn't help but smile.

"yes of course, hopefully, it won't break this time," Gwen said and tried to look away, She avoided staring into Miles' eyes for too long.

"Was he always this handsome?" Gwen tried to think back to the time she saw him in school, she could easily notice that the two people from before were now completely different in appearance.

'was this a change caused by being bitten by a radioactive spider?' Gwen was in deep thought, but she decided not to think too much.

Hearing their conversation, Peter rolled his eyes before smiling, he then laid down in the back of the bus and closed his eyes.

Miles spent the rest of the ride talking to Gwen, although she wasn't too open to him yet, Miles noticed that she was slowly treating him as a friend.

Miles never had problems talking to beautiful girls his calmness was the reason the whole conversation didn't become awkward as Miles began to ask Gwen about herself.

---

Miles and the crew then headed towards a small house in Queens.

Peter who stood at the side couldn't help but regret his actions as they rang the doorbell.

"Maybe this is a bad idea?"

"Don't you think it's already too late" Miles glanced at him and couldn't help but chuckle.

what was the worst that could happen?

Miles, Gwen, and Peter all watched as the door of the small home cracked open and an elderly woman with gray hair walked out.

Seeing the three people in front of her door, The old lady couldn't help but lay her eyes on Peter and she immediately became bewildered.

"P-Peter? Is that you?" Her shaky voice rang through the atmosphere as she slowly walked up, a look of astonishment on her wrinkly old face.

"Aunt May, it is me" Peter replied as he became slightly emotional, seeing Aunt May like this.

"You might not believe me but I came from-" Before Peter could finish his words, Aunt May cut him off.

"an alternate universe, right?" She said calmly, yet her old eyes still revealed her curiosity.

Miles who was watching this calmly saw Gwen glance at him from the side and he couldn't help but smile.

It was a very wholesome scene.

Miles watched their conversation before walking up around a good time.

"Hey, um you might not know me but I was there when Peter passed away, I came to give my condolences," Miles lied with a saddened expression as he stared at the old lady.

"It's fine, It's fine, I'm guessing you are also from another dimension?" Aunt May couldn't help but smile as she saw the innocent look on Miles's face.

"Dimension? Would you believe me if I said I am from this dimension?" Miles couldn't help but scratch his head at that question.

"Haha, of course, I would" Aunt May's earlier gloomy mood seemed to get better as she spoke with these new visitors.

"By the way, do you perhaps know if Peter had somewhere we could make one of these" Miles decided to ask as the mood became much warmer?

Aunt May looked at the broken chip in Miles's hands and couldn't help but become serious.

"hmm, Follow me," She said with a serious expression.
