Words: 1239 Pairing:None Cast of Characters: Toby!Peter, Andrew!Peter, Tom!Peter, Miles Morales, Ned Leeds, MJ (MCU), & Reader Summary:Reader is a Spider person from another universe who has landed in a new New York. They team up with their friend Miles from another universe to find this new New York’s Spiderman and offer him help however they can. But Reader encounters something they’re not prepared for a Peter Parker who looks just like their father.
You were in New York, but it wasn’t your New York. Your New York was dressed in sepia tones as if the city itself lived in a constant sunset. It was brighter here. The buildings of this New York were sharper, more angular. It was a different universe. This had happened to you once before. You’d been ripped from your home universe and sent to another.
“[Y/N]?” You looked to your left and smiled. It seems you weren’t the only one ripped from a different universe. Miles Morales of Earth 1610, was crouched on the steal eagle next to you. The two of you were perched towards the top of the Chrysler Building, looking out at the city.
“Good to see you again.” You watched his shoulder visibly relax.
“Good it’s you! Not that you wouldn’t be you but I’m glad that you remember me.” He breathed. “Um, [Y/N] do you know which universe this is?”
“Well, there’s still color so all I’ve managed to rule out Spiderman Noir’s universe. And it’s not mine or yours.”
“Great!” Miles huffed sarcastically. “Only an infinite number of other possibilities then.”
“C’mon, we’ll figure it out together.” With a thwip of your webbing you were off the building arching towards the next. Looking for this universe’s spider-person wouldn’t be easy. Although most of the time he was Spider-Man and his secret identity was Peter Parker, that wasn’t always the case. You and Miles were both proof of that. But finding the spider-person, whoever they were, wasn’t as impossible as Miles had thought either.
You started searching the city with locations that were common across the multiverse in mind. New York for example was home to almost every spider-person you’d met. You began to wonder while you and Miles searched the city, if spider-person was an accurate term given the fact that the two of you had on one occasion met a Spider-Ham. You pushed the thought away for now. You need to continue searching, not worry about semantics.
You and Miles paused at Midtown High. The High School that was a common education institution among the spiders. Then you both felt it, the spider senses. You’d found this universe’s spider.
“They’re here!” The two of you said at the same time.
“Now we just have to figure out where.” You told him. You searched the school, letting your spider senses guide you through the halls of an unfamiliar Midtown High. You followed your senses to a science lab on the second floor. “We have to be careful. We don’t know what we’re going to find here.”
Miles nodded and you pushed open the door to the lab. There were three teenagers around yours and Miles’ age. You didn’t recognize any of them but somehow you knew, in whatever way bonded the spider heroes across the multiverse, that the boy with the fluffy brunette hair and sad smile was this universe’s Peter Parker. There were more of them. You realized. More spider people in room than just you, Miles, and the boy.
You looked to your right and what you saw had you gasping for air. The first shock to your system came in the form of a man you’d only seen in pictures. He was a Peter Parker who looked nearly identical to the Peter Parker that Gwen had lost. Gwen Stacy had been a Spider Person you and Miles met on your last encounter together. Gwen had shown you photos of the love she’d been unable to save.
“Is that Gwen’s Peter?” Miles asked you quietly. So, he’d noticed it to. You said nothing as you looked to the fifth Spider Person in the room. He had to be another Peter Parker, another Spiderman. After all that’s what he’d in your universe. Although you’d been lucky enough to call him by another name.
“Dad.” You breathed so quietly that only Miles had heard you.
“Do we know you?” Gwen’s Peter asked. He looked at the three teenagers to his right. “Do you know them?”
“You don’t know us.” Miles confirmed. “But we know you or other versions of you.”
“This is going to get really confusing, really quickly. Everyone named Peter Parker raise your hand.” The three Peters raised their hands. Great you’re Peter 1,” You pointed to the Peter who looked like your dad. “You’re Peter 2,” You pointed to the universe’s Peter. “And. You’re…”
“Peter 3.” Gwen’s Peter sighed exasperatedly.
“I’m Ned and this is MJ.” The Non-Peter boy from this universe introduced.
“Who are you?” This universe’s MJ asked.
“That’s Miles and I’m [Y/N]. [Y/N] Parker.” You told them.
“He called me Gwen’s Peter.” Peter 3 said. “You two know Gwen Stacy?”
“Kind of.” You and Miles went on to explain how the two of you met and your past adventure together. Peter 2 explained how you and the other spiders were pulled into his universe by accident along with some of their villains. They gathered at the school to find cures for the various villains.
“You’re making Goobers.” You said.
“We can help.” Miles offered. The three Peters seemed reluctant to accept help from you at first but given they were working under a time crunch, they eventually conceded that more spiders was better. Peter 3 was already working with MJ and Ned, so Miles partnered with Peter 2. This left you alone with Peter 1.
“Do you ever get used to this?” Peter 1 asked. You were looking at the computer monitor in front of you rather than looking at him. “All the Spidermen…Spider-People?”
“Miles and I met a Spider Ham once. He was a talking pig.” You still wouldn’t look at him. You couldn’t. The sound of his voice alone was getting you choked up.
“I was someone important you wasn’t I?” Peter 1 asked. “Whoever your Peter Parker was that looked like me.”
“He,” You sucked in a deep breath. “He was my Dad.” You looked over at him at last. Your eyes watering as you studied his face. It was less wrinkled than you remembered but he had the same blue eyes. The same concerned expression as when you were four and chipped your tooth on the coffee table. “The logical part of me knows that you’re not him and I can tell myself that all day long but he died when I was young. I haven’t seen him in really long time.”
“It’s okay.” He told you. “Did your father ever tell you about Uncle Ben and Aunt May?”
“He talked about them a lot. Mom still does.” You nodded.
“When I was your age I would have don’t anything to see them again. Even if I had to travel to another dimension and they didn’t know who I was.” He smiled at you. “I’m sure your father would be proud of you.”
“What makes you say that?” You asked, wiping away tears.
“Because I’m proud of you.” He said.
“You don’t know anything about me.” You insisted.
“I know you’re a hero. I know that you’re brave and a little bit crazy. You have to be to do what we do.” He laughed. “I know that you lost someone important to you but you get up every day and you keep fighting. That’s all you can do.”
“Do you have kids Peter?” You asked him.
“Not yet.” He told you. “But I hope that when I do, they’re like you [Y/N].”
“Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: “With great power comes great responsibility.” This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I’m Spider-man.”
And we all thought Steven was going to be mad because of the multiverse disaster but no, he was like “ehh it’s all fucked up anyway, let me join too”. Honestly, Loki is more considered about multiverses than Sorcerer Supreme’s himself at this point
