SpiderGwen: I have a system?!-Chapter 157 - : Death and Faith

[3rd POV]

Watching Miles run off, Gwen knew that it was likely Prowler, aka his uncle would make an appearance. This would be a problem until Miles reveals his identity to the villain. But through his hesitation, Aaron (The Prowler) would be shot and killed by Kingpin. That was how it was supposed to happen, at least, but Gwen would change that, if possible.

Glancing back at the villains, Gwen turned to the other spiders "I'll take care of the Scorpion, you take care of the others" Gwen said, before bursting forward in a burst of speed, a mighty kick slamming against the Scorpions abdomen, two additional legs burst from below, thanks to his mechanical enhancements.

She made sure not to kick him hard enough to launch him into the house behind him, but he did slam against the lamp post behind him, as a groan escaped his lips "Gah you damned spider!" Scorpion snarled as he charged towards her, as the other spiders began to fight off the remaining villains, Tombstone and Doc Ock.

'It won't take long to take down Tombstone, but Doc Ock might be a problem for them. Best to take care of this ugly mug quickly' Gwen decided, as the man charged closer, Gwen, seeing this, smirked as her hands blurred, as several strikes slammed against the man, at all the spots that she needed to hit, as the enhance man stumbled, his eyes going dark as he fell to the ground, collapsing.

Gwen had hit all of the man's pressure points, all the points needed in order to knock him unconscious. While she didn't have the physical power she used to, she did have the memories, and that alone was enough to take care of someone like Scorpion.

Turning, Gwen sighed as she watched Doc Ock run off, while Tombstone was unconscious, webbed to the ground as he snarled, straining to get out of the webs. Only for a kick to slam against his face, knocking him unconscious as Gwen stood over him with a bored look on her face, underneath her mask.

"Well...that's ann-" *BANG* Gwen started to mutter, only for her eyes to constrict as a gunshot sounded out, as she turned to a nearby roof where Miles stood, cradling his shot uncle in his arms.

'Shit...seems in every reality Spiderman is doomed to lose an Uncle or Father' Gwen thought with a sigh, understanding that this was her fault for not moving faster. Had she had her full power, she'd have been able to heal the man effortlessly, but now she couldn't do anything for him, not anymore.

Kingpin, the one who shot Prowler, wasted no time to run back to his vehicle, as it shot off, driving away as Miles cradled his uncle, before lifting him and swinging off, hoping to save his uncle, or at least have a chance to get him to a hospital.

"What do we do?" Gwen-65 asked, as they watched Miles swing away.

"We follow him and give him our support, the only thing we can do. That's the only thing we can do in a situation like this, then after that, we take Kingpin down, for good" Gwen replied to her counterpart.

"And is he ready for this? To take down Kingpin?" Gwen-65 asked as Gwen looked at her.

"Were any of you "Ready" when you started? The kid has powers none of you can understand, yes, but he is ready. I think you just need to have some faith in him"

"Even if it can end in his death?"

"It won't, my less beautiful counterpart. I know that you have lost people, but you need to learn to have some faith, faith in Miles, and faith in others" Gwen replied, as Gwen-65 scoffed.

"And what do you know about my loss? Or any of our los-" "Uncle Ben, Uncle Benjamin, Peni's Father, Peter Parker on your Earth, and Frankfurter Porker" Gwen cut off her counterpart, as her eyes widened.

"How do you-" "Gwen, I am by far the most experienced person in this group. While I might be 18 in physical form, mentally speaking, I am well beyond any of you, and I have seen, done, and experienced things that none of you could ever imagine. When it comes to loss, I have experienced all of what you have experienced, an innumerable amount of times" Gwen cut her counterpart off, as they all gazed at her.

"I-how?" Gwen-65 asked, as the rest of the team looked at her wide eyed.

Gwen simply smiled and replied "There are some things that are best to be kept a secret. But I will say that I'm more than simply "Gwen". Now, why don't we go and see the kid? I'm sure you're going to still insist on him not tagging along, but I hope you at least think about what I said"

The team all went silent at this, before looking at one another and nodding, as they all began to take off after Miles, swinging away.

'Time for some talks' Gwen thought, as she swung away.

[Location: Brooklyn Visions Academy]

In Miles' room, he was throwing objects, smashing his lights, and breaking everything in sight enraged. One of those objects was a book that he threw through the window, only for it to launch back inside, landing in his arms, as the group slowly climbed through his window, sad looks on each of their faces.

"Hey, bud. You okay?" Peter asked, looking at the teary eyed Miles.

"We've all been there. You know, for me, it was my Uncle Ben" Peter said, placing a hand on his right shoulder, as Noir put his on the teens left, and spoke.

"For me, it was my Uncle Benjamin" Noir said.

"For me, it was my Father" Peni said, eyes downcast as she remembered the past.

"For me it was my best friend" Gwen-65 said, remembering the Peter of her world.

"Miles, the hardest thing about this job is...you can't always save everybody" Peter Porker said, his cartoonish form looking down in sadness.

"Look, it was my fault. You wouldn't understand" Miles said, as Gwen-65 cut in.

"Miles, we're probably the only ones who do understand" Gwen-65 said, only to blink as the door began to open, their eyes shooting wide as they all jumped to the ceiling as one group, holding themselves up on the roof as they looked down, Miles roommate walking in as they scooted across the roof so they wouldn't be seen.

Eventually he turned enough, as he looked up from his comic book at them "Hey there" Miles said awkwardly, as Peter Porker spoke.

"Do animals talk in this dimension? Cause I don't wanna freak him out"

The teen promptly passed out.

"Well...that was unexpected" Gwen muttered.

After laying the teen in his bed, the group began to slip out of the window as Miles turned, finding Gwen-65 beginning to slip out, an annoyed looking Gwen, and Peter.

"What's going on?" Miles asked.

"Bye, Miles" Gwen-65 muttered, as she slipped out, ignoring her counterparts annoyed sigh.

"Miles, I came to say goodbye" Peter began as Gwen just shook her head and leaned back, waiting for this to be over with so she could talk to the kid.

"We can say goodbye at the collider" Miles responded.

"You're not getting it. You're staying here"

"I need to be there so you can all go home" Miles responded with a shake of his head.

"They are going home, Miles. I'm the only one stayin'"

"You're taking my place? If you stay here, you'll die" Miles replied with a confused look.

"I'm doing what needs to be done. I just wanted you to hear it from me" Peter replied.

"What about MJ?" Miles asked, remembering that Peter still loved her, even if they weren't together anymore in his universe.

"Not everything works out, kid" Peter replied after a couple of moments, before reaching his hand out.

"I need the goober, and please don't make me take it from you"

"That's not fair! You gotta tell them I can do this" Miles replied, raising his voice.

"It wasn't their decision" Peter replied as Miles shook his head, understanding what he meant. All the while, Gwen silently listened at the side, waiting for this to end so she could talk with Miles, alone.

"I gotta make Kingpin pay! You have to make me let him pay!" Miles exclaimed, raising his voice.

"Miles, you're going to get yourself killed"

"But I'm ready. I promise!" Milles couldn't even react as his legs were swept from under him, Peter launched onto the roof of the building, and held him up from his shirt, as Gwen silently watched.

"Then venom strike me right now, or turn invisible on command so you can get past me" Peter said, as Miles let out desperate grunts, trying to get the power to activate, only for it not to.

"Look, I know how much you want this kid. But you don't have it yet" Peter said, as he put Miles back to the ground, only to pull him onto a chair and web him onto it. Gwen could hear the others outside, listening in.

"I'm sorry"

"When will I know I'm ready?" Miles asked, as he looked at Peter who grabbed the goober from his hands.

"You won't. It's a leap of faith. That's all it is Miles, a leap of faith" Peter said, as he webbed Miles mouth.

"You coming with or not?" Peter asked Gwen, who snorted.

"Nah, I think I'll stay here. I'd rather help this kid then a bunch of idiots who refuse to believe in him" Gwen replied with a wave of her hand, as he sighed, pulled his mask on, and swung out of the room, the rest of the team following after him.

Watching him leave, Gwen sighed "Finally, I was wondering when they'd leave"

Turning to Miles, she looked at him with a smile "So, you think you're ready kid?" Gwen asked, as he nodded rapidly.

"You know, unlike the rest of them, I agree. I know that you are, Miles. I can tell just by looking at you. But that power of yours, you don't know how to use it, do you?" Gwen asked, as the teen stared at her before shaking his head.

Hearing this, Gwen smiled as she raised her hand, sparkles of bio-electricity forming as Miles' eyes went wide "You've got no idea what power you have, kid. But trust me, you'll learn. I'd teach you myself, but my power is different from yours, mine is a bit more...powerful. But you won't need to learn from me"

"I didn't have teachers you know, not truly. Sure, I had my pops for a little bit, but I surpassed him too fast for it to matter. No, all my experience came from me and me alone. You'll be the same kid, for the most part at least. As from what you can see, Peter is an awful teacher in this multiverse. But that's what makes us Spiders special, isn't it? We always have faith, and we ALWAYS overcome the challenges in front of us. And I'm sure you'll be the same" Gwen said, knowing that this was all true. She didn't have any teachers, for her only teaching was her other lives and their experiences.

"I did too, you know. I've fought beings that make Kingpin look like an ant in comparison, and I always came out of it stronger, so trust me when I say that Kingpin is only the beginning of your journey Miles, afterall, every universe needs a Spider, and who says this world can't have another Spiderman?" Gwen said, as the teen listened intently.

Looking off, she heard the steps of a tall man and smiled, turning back to Miles, she ruffled his hair before walking past him towards the window.

"Listen to what he has to say, and then follow your heart Miles, that'll be how you learn to use this power" Gwen said, a confident grin on her face, as the teen looked confused.

"I believe in you Miles Morales. Oh, and when you're done here, I whipped something up at May's house, I think it'll be perfect for you" Gwen said with twinkling eyes, as she leapt out of the room, the soft sound of Miles' father speaking from across the door.

Swinging off, Gwen knew that she got through to the kid, and hopefully, he'd come out even better for it.

Going after the rest of the team, Gwen only had one thought on her mind.

'I hope Miles likes the gift'
