Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman POV):
I kept pressing the portal opening button on the dimensional travel watch but it stopped working. Those kids aren't normal and something told me I'm in deep trouble. My bike revs up and I drive it down the road as fast as possible. Suddenly the road in front of me blows up and forms a crater yet my spider sense remains dull. He steps forward like a general that has seen battles no human mind could ever witness and win. Yet he did. " You are the epitome of irresponsibility.
You carry a life within you and yet you seek cheap thrills veiled as heroism. Tell me Jessica Drew, are you worthy of the mantle you carry?" Asks Brad. He hasn't unsheathed his chainsaw sword but he didn't need to because I felt it, his strength dwarfs mine." I have a responsibility..."
" No, you have an obligation to bring a new life to your world not play multiversal peacemaker." Said the boy. " You don't understand the loss every spider must feel." A laugh. A mocking, self loathing laugh escapes from within him.
" I don't understand loss? I have ordered millions to die for the rotting carcass of a civilization, I have seen comrades fall for less, I have carved a bloody path of victory through the cosmos themselves and yet dare preach pain to me? How dare you!!!" Roared Brad and lunged with horrifying speed and in that moment I lost consciousness as I was punched in the cheek by his fist.
Miles-1610 POV:
" Please, you gotta let me go. I need to save my dad." I plead only for Miles 42 to say, " And why would I do that?" " Because he said please, you drug paddling, rapper villain reject." Thundered a voice equal parts authoritative and childish.
" Jake, language." Hissed another pleasant voice. All of us turned towards the doors of the warehouse and saw them. A young girl with a spear and a long, blonde braid while the other was a boy with black hair with green tips and was wearing a red jacket. " Uncle, see these fools out." Said Miles 42 dismissively. Uncle Aaron jumps towards them using his jet boots and claws raised and I was about to scream but that scream died in my throat as the boy just flicked his finger and Uncle Aaron shot back like a cannonball.
Now we were looking, we were really looking. " He's all yours, babe." Said the boy and the girl just vanished. The only thing visible were the sliver of blue flashes accompanied by the song of a swinging blade. My counter part was stripped. Stripped of his gear, clothes except his underwear and dignity and for the finishing she just slammed her knee on his gut so hard, it felt as if the air itself trembled.
He's eyes bulged and he was out cold. " Jake, I'm gonna go and get his mom. You take the two Miles back to the Antares." Said the girl. " Sure, be gentle with her Rose." Said the boy who I now know is Jake. " Hey, can you free me from the bindings Jake?" I ask while I slowly worked with the bindings.
" Break free and you'll learn how it feels to have every bone in your body broken and reset in place simultaneously." Threatened Jake while his form took that of a fiery red dragon. My eyes bulged at the transformation as I muttered, " American Dragon Jake Long and Rose the huntsgirl?"
" Wow, we're really famous, huh?" Says Rose with a giggle. " Yeah, we are." Answers Jake while he grabs the punching bag that I was tied on with his legs while he grabs my counterpart with his clawed hand around his neck. A wave from his wings and the roof parted and then in a blur we were far above the city of New York which was awash with sporadic explosions of yellow and white.
But the ship that was on orbit was the thing that scared me. It was elegant yet massive, gargantuan even. The airlock of the ship parted... wait we're breathing in space!!! I panicked internally. " Keep quiet Morales. I can hear your internal monologuing. It's my chi that's keeping you and 1 cent alive." Yelled Jake in my mind.
We entered the hanger and we boarded a maglev train. " So, this ship yours?" I ask. " No, it's dad's flagship I.C.S.S Antares. Also your parents know your secret and they're coming here or being brought here to be more specific." Replied Jake. When the bridge door opened I was frozen in shock.
