Closed Starter: @ghostthwip | â Iâm not like you.â
Mary-Jane didnât know why hearing those words hurt her but they did. Maybe it was because of everything that happened with the Gwen she knew but she had to remind herself: this isnât the same person. She had been closed friends, albeit at a time she had been jealous of her when it came to a certain relationship with a certain web-head, with this timelines Gwen before the incident happened. But this was another Gwen, one who had suffered something MJ would never wish on anyone. âAre you just saying that because of the whole time thing? Because honestly itâs good youâre not anything not like me. I have a lot of stress thanks to my boss and don't even get me started on the stuff outside of work.â She mentioned to her. She almost wanted to spill out more but MJ held herself back.
MJ was a familiar and warm presence that Gwen had missed dearly, but just like with everyone else, she had to remind herself that this wasnât the Em Jay that she knew. The one who was the vocalist of the band she dearly missed and apart of a world she had decided upon leaving behind. (Often Gwen wondered if her friends wondered where she went--if they cared. Of course they cared, why wouldnât they? It was Spider-Woman the world wouldnât miss. She was a murderer in their eyes after all. They werenât exactly wrong in that assumption. It was an accident, she didnât know, but it made her a murderer all the same.)
âNot exactly. I mean, partly, but--â Gwen let out a sharp breath and shrugged one shoulder. It was a lot to dump on a virtual stranger, because at the end of the day thatâs what they were, right? No matter how much she wanted to lunge forward and hug MJ tight, revel in the feeling of one of her best friends holding her, but she knew a different version of her. Just like MJ knew a different version of Gwen. âI wish I was like you, frankly. Even with all the stress,â Gwen managed to tease with a little grin. âThe spider powers really arenât all theyâre cracked up to be.â Especially when loss seemed to follow the power set like a dark cloud.

rictorscalesâ:
Sometimes, New York still felt strange. Rictor had been living here for years now, had had a semi-permanent home in the city for longer than heâd ever had one anyplace else save his familyâs home in Mexico, but there were days he still felt like a tourist. There were days he still looked at all the people rushing around and was met with a heavy, painful certainty that he didnât belong. It always put him on edge just a little, always left him tense and hyper-aware of everything going on around him. And sometimes, that hyper-awareness came in handy.Â
Like, for example, when a stranger stepped out in front of a car.
For a moment, the world stood still and Rictor thought back to himself standing on the edge of a roof, one foot hanging over the edge. He thought of the empty gun he waved at the armed cops screaming at him, of Guidoâs quiet, steady voice from the front seat of the car. He thought of the times heâd stood on the edge of the sidewalk and considered taking a step a moment too soon so that people could tell themselves it was an accident. But⊠This girlâs eyes widened and her mouth dropped open and this wasnât intentional. And Rictor wasnât a hero, but he was standing within armâs length and it was instinct to reach out and yank her backwards.
The world started moving again in a heartbeat. The car sped on by blowing its horn, pedestrians walked on by as if nothing had happened as all, and the woman turned towards him. âSure,â Rictor replied with a shrug, suddenly uncomfortable in his skin as he shifted his weight between his feet. âNo problem.â
***
It was embarrassing how caught in her own head Gwen got. She was adjusting. There was a temptation to go see this worldâs George Stacy. She hadnât hugged her dad in such a long time, she practically ached for it. The mere thought threatened to make tears rise to her eyes and spill over. She didnât want to torture him like that though. To see your dead daughter standing before you after so many years, older than you last saw her? All because she was selfish enough to want any contact with a form of her father after failing to save him. Maybe the sentiment was returned on his end, to see his daughter again may be a blessing even if it wasnât the version of her he knew. Regardless, she didnât think it was a very smart idea. Or a kind one at that.
It was thoughts like this that whirled around in her head and got her five seconds from turning into a pancake on the New York City sidewalk. Embarrassing.Â
âIâm not normally so absentminded, I have like a sixth sense for my surroundings.â That was putting things lightly. âShit.â She grumbled and scrubbing at her face tiredly. âCan I at least get you a coffee or something for the assist? I couldâve been New Yorkâs next finest pancake if it werenât for you. Iâd love to repay you for that. Iâll even throw in a pastry. I work at a bakery and can get you some of the best cookies youâll ever taste. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but Iâm pretty a badass baker.â

He and Cassie were, well, things didnât look good at the moment, and the more he thought about it the more it felt like his fault, even if Erik had assured him that it wasnât, not really. Still, his eyes dropped as he made his way through the tougher parts of the city, his all-night patrol doing nothing to quiet his mind, instead leaving him alone with his thoughts for far longer than was probably healthy.Â
The very thought of doing patrols alone would have never crossed his mind six months ago, and now, well everything seemed so staunchly different now than it had then. Harsher, less simple.Â
He didnât know that his entire perspective on life could change more than it had when he had died, but, life was always full of surprises.Â
He watched from on high as a man scurried away from the corner shop, his hands full of necessities and his eyes wide and darting. The bodega owner was chasing after him best that he could and Kon knew that, if worse came to worst, he would step in and allow the man to leave. He needed the food, obviously. The fact that he needed to steal it only struck Kon as incredibly sad.Â
He floated down, his head tilted as he watched the woman do something unexpected.Â
She pressed money into the manâs hands, her voice soft and gentle as she assured him that he was okay. It was the kind of empathy he hadnât seen in, god, he couldnât even remember another time he had seen someone so casually kind.Â
She spun and his hands flew up, his fingers spread and his palms facing her as he laughed. âOne of âem,â he shrugged, his hands worming their way back into his pockets as his feet touched down onto the damp pavement, âthe better dressed one, obviously.âÂ
He leaned against the brick of the alleyway, his eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses as he watched her stutter and trip over he words before breaking into a large grin. âBallet chic, huh? Very cool. Seems fitting for someone like you.âÂ
He ran a hand through his hair with a sigh, âIt was really nice, what you did for that guy. Not a lot of people would have let him go.âÂ
âI mean, no offense but capes are not it,â Gwen commented with a snort. It was easy to forget how charming Superboy had beenâhad been being the key word. He hadnât...well, hadnât exactly been alive in her universe. There was a big fight with another Superboy it seemed and she had seen the reports after of his death. She had seen the way Wonder Girl and Robin clung onto each other, devastation painted over their features. Maybe this version of him never knew the touch of death, or maybe he did but he was the one who got to come back unlike her dimensionâs own Superboy.Â
Like how she was the one to live while this Gwen Stacy laid in a grave while Peter grieved for her instead of the other way around.
âThanks. I, uhâI do it in my spare time. Used to at least. Kinda hard to do it these days.â Gwen admitted, missing the way dancing made her felt while she lost herself in the movements. âI kinda like having a piece of it with me at least. Maybe Iâll get back to it one day. Maybe Iâll also stop rambling about stupid shitââ she couldnât help her little snort and shaking her head, glad her mask was hiding the way heat rose to her cheeks.Â
âOh. Well, it was food. He needed it. People shouldnât have to steal to be able to feed themselves. Itâs not right that our government refuses to help people who need it. Or peopleârich peopleâdonât help when they have more than enough money to end hunger. Itâs utter bullshit.â Gwen shook her head, letting out a huff. It made her sick knowing that people could help but refused to. That people like that man were just wanting to be able to feed themselves or their family and had to stoop down to taking. She didnât feel it was right to stop him when all he wanted was a neccesity.Â
âI just want to help. Itâs apart of the job.âÂ

Save a black and white for a jet-lagged friend, heâd said. Come by the bakery, sheâd said, but only if you can beat me up.Â
Was Peter confident he could best Gwen Stacy in a fight? Decently. If heâd learned anything while he was gone, it was that he was strong. Stronger than heâd realized. His punches landed too often and too hard, but they landed. Admittedly, heâd never fought her; didnât know if he wanted to at all. Rationally, he knew she wasnât the same Gwen heâd lost, knew that she was plenty strong and plenty capable and plenty alive, but their faces were so similar. Too similar.
Heâd seen pain on that face before. Heâd seen betrayal. Heâd seen death.
Even joking, he didnât know he could do it.
But, jet-lagged and exhausted and waiting for the other shoe to drop (because it would, it always did, he knew he had hours, days at best before something from London caught up with him), he needed to see a friend. And if that friend had cookies for him, even better.
So Peter wound his way to the bakery, jacket pulled tight around him. It had gotten cold while heâd been gone, and the warm air and smell of baking bread enveloped him immediately. He pulled off his hat, smoothed out his hair, saw her, and smiled.
âHey,â he said. âIâm here to see a girl about a coffee? I hear itâs pretty good.â
***
Gwen wasnât sure if Peter would actually show up. He had just gotten back and was being entirely too cryptic. She wasnât sure what to make of it, of him. It worried her. To be fair, most things about this worldâs Peter worried her. Not that she would admit it, but she had nightmares that sheâd thrown the world out of whack by purely being here in the place of the Gwen who had once been here and something would happen because of her. Something terrible. Bad luck seemed to follow her like an omen. She could only hope it didnât follow her to this universe as well.
The bell above the door rang out with the rush of cold air that was brought in by the door opening. Gwen turned around and couldnât help her smile when she saw Peter standing before her, something shifting and the anxiety feeling less pronounced. He was okay. She knew he was okay, but also to see it with her own two eyes made her feel a lot better. âYou came just in time. I think I can manage that. Maybe with some black and white cookies as requested. Iâm feeling pretty giving to do it without the fight.â He looked like he had enough of a fight while he was MIA.
Moving around the counter, Gwen hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to give him a quick hug. âIâm glad youâre okay,â she said quietly, âyou know you donât have to do stuff alone right? Weâve got your back, super spy.â Pulling back, Gwen tugged at an errant curl with an amused grin. âAnything you can actually tell me or is it all secrets?â

     Even if there wasnât a major member of the Rogues Gallery threatening to poison the water supply for the hundredth time, there were always small crimes to stop. Drug store robberies, your average purse-snatcher, and the worst offenders: the Predator. All they wanted was the pride of fear. Most of them probably worked for one of the higher-ups, being more on the goon side than their own personal boss, but there was nothing that felt better than taking out a handful of idiots trying to crowd a helpless civilian. Tim had been looking for some action when heâd heard the menacing cackles, the whimpers, the-
     The thwip of a webshooter. White lenses squinted at the sky, a figure dropping into the alley heâd been bee-lining to. He really didnât want Gotham to start having a spider problemâŠ
     Without a second to lose, the bird tumbled his way to the concrete, blindly pushing the other hero behind him, silently glaring at the group in front of them before going on the attack. Fools who didnât think to run at the first sight of a mask, they fell one by one, taking hits that would no doubt five them something to think about in the morning. He was almost starting to have fun when the voice behind him started again. âMaybe,â he replied a bit too cooly, turning to look over his shoulder with a pronounced froun. Jeez, he felt like Bruce. âNot sure how you Bugs fare against Gothamâs brand of criminal, though.â His covered eyes searched her face, her mask, trying to find something as familiar as the tone in her voice. RobinâŠÂ âRed Robin,â Tim corrected, twisting the staff to collapse back into itâs stowable state, hooking it to the back of his belt. âAnd, uh⊠You are?â
***
It was incredibly awkward even despite the frustration that Gwen felt quickly seeping out of her instead being replaced with embarrassment. This was a doozy try to explain whatsoever. No one exactly was going to take the whole, âhey sorry Iâm from another dimension and actually know you really well where Iâm from!â thing at face value. Especially someone like Tim. If he was anything like her dimensionâs Tim then he would squint her and give her that disbeliving look. He had no reason to believe her here. He had no idea who she was.
âRed Robin? Since when?â Gwen couldnât help but ask instead. âWere you craving a change? Red Robin, yum.â She joked, unable to help herself as a snicker escaped her with her hand going to cover her mask covered mouth. âDo you get that a lot? Iâm sure you do. Itâs still funny.â Now she was rambling, stalling. âOkay, okay. Donât glare at me. I get it. I justâitâs a long story. Iâm Ghost-Spider. Iâm not exactly from, uh, well. This world. Different dimension and all sorts of fun stuff. Hard to believe, I know. Youâre probably abount to start some science presentation on the different dimensions, right? Total Robin move.â
A pause then Gwen sighed, letting her arms fall to her sides. âI know you, well. My old worldâs version of you.â

In 2099, Miguel lived in a penthouse. He was so far above the city streets that he couldnât hear the public eye dragging people away, couldnât hear the Rapture addicts choking on their vomit in the alleys, couldnât hear the screams of the people who found themselves on the wrong side of the gangs. That was intentional. It was easier to live with yourself, heâd found, when you were too far away to help people who needed help. It was easier to make excuses. His apartment in Washington Heights was on the second floor of a two story building. He could hear the streets below. He could see the flashing lights out the window. He could not make excuses.Â
That didnât mean someone knocking on his window was to be expected. This apartment was a lot closer to the ground than the one heâd lived in in 2099, but it was still high enough that no one ought to be able to get to the window. Of course, when the people you hung around with had wall-crawling powers, he figured all bets were off. Walking over to the window, he was only mildly surprised to see the white costume of Ghost Spider instead of Peterâs red one. He might not know her as well as he knew other members of the âteam,â but theyâd hung around in the aftermath of enough battles that it wasnât too surprising to see sheâd figured out where he lived. âGwen,â he repeated, remembering the girl Peter had added to the group chat. âRight. Iâm Miguel. Guess you figured that out.â He paused for a moment, glancing to the bakery box before shrugging and pushing the window the rest of the way open, stepping aside so she could drop in. âWhat kind of cupcakes?â
***
Gwen smiled when he pushed the window the rest of the way open and crawled into the apartment, landing on her feet and pulling her mask off fully. âRed velvet. Itâs just a fancy chocolate cupcake, I know, but you canât beat the cream cheese frosting. Also I feel like the red food dye really gives it something special, but thatâs probably my brain just telling me I only like it because itâs colored a fun color.â She prattled on easily, opening the bakery box so that she could offer him one of the dozen cupcakes she had made.Â
âSorry to just drop by, uh, well. Unannounced even though I didnât really have a way to let you know in the first place, I justââ Gwen sighed and her shoulders slumped a bit, âyou get it. The whole...being displaced thing. I did this on purpose, it was my choice, but itâs still really...surreal. My Peter, heââ her breath seized in her chest. It never stopped feeling like a punch straight to her chest every time she thought about Peter. âHe died. Heâs been dead for years now and to see him alive and like me is just...really weird. Itâs really weird. Iâm still trying to adjust and I just guess I wanted to be instead of what people expect me to be. Some version of the girl they lost.â

mistressofmagicâ:
Zatanna was flipping through dimensions, trying to find this bastard and praying that whatever it was doing, wasnât about to royally fuck up everything in existence across the multiverse. But each time she slipped through the cracks and came back out, the damn thing was gone. But here? She stepped through a portal onto a rooftop that was in⊠a familiar city. There were a few subtle differences, but the one that Zatanna was concerned about, was the energy she had been tracking. And as far as she could tell, it was still there. Lingering in this dimension. It was there.
Her focus was broken immediately. Another figure in a suit that was spider themed. (How many were there?) She didnât get much time to question how many spiders in how many different universes there were before the girl pulled down her mask as quickly as she could and addressed Zatanna. There was grief in her voice. Something strangling her from the inside.
âI mean⊠if it makes you feel better, youâre not too far off.â She took a step forward, her hands up to show she wasnât holding a weapon. âIâm not from this dimension and Iâm not⊠human either.â Part human, but the other part of her took up every corner of her life it was hard to tell that any part of her was human. (No matter how much she loved her father, it was clear which way her blood pulled â what made her as powerful as she was.) âBut Iâm also not looking for a fight. Not with you at least.â
Her hands slowly dropped. âIâve been following something else, from my dimension here. Iâm not above a team up as long as you promise not to web me, or⊠whatever you were planning on doing there.â A short beat passed before Zee tipped her head to the side, âAre you okay?â
âAh. Why not? New dimensions, just another Thursday.â Gwen grumbled tiredly and could feel the wariness of it seeping down to her bones. It was a kind of tiredness that had stayed with her ever since she was given these powers. There was this responsibility that she hadnât expectedâwanted. She didnât take it seriously at first. What kid would? She wanted the fame, the love that would come from her noriarity. Then it all came crashing down on her when she held Peter in her arms as he took shaky breathsâ
I just wanted to be special like youâ
No, not now.
Gwen shook her head and grimaced beneath her mask. âSure. You donât feel like a threatânot that you arenât. I mean, you just created a portal from another dimension and are part human, pretty badass, but you get what I mean. You arenât, uh, whatever. Iâm rambling.â Gwen let out a long breath, shrugging her shoulders. âI wasnât doing anything,â except debating getting the nerve to the grave of her best friend, but that wasnât exactly small talk between strangers.
Though, the simple question of âare you okay?â was enough to throw Gwen completely off. It was easy to ignore it and ignore the frequent ache that filled her chest and threatened to splinter into a thousand pieces. It was easier to pretend she was okay.Â
âI donât know,â Gwen answered honestly. She wasnât sure what compelled her to tell this stranger the fact she felt so sharply hurt from all her grief. âI donât think I have been in a long time if weâre being honest. Thereâs only so many hits I can take while Iâm already down before it becomes the final blow, you know?â Her voice had dipped to a whisper, swallowing hard around the lump that had formed in her throat. âAnd I justâIâve lost so many people. Good people, important people. How can I come back from that? Itâs so hard.âÂ

[ approval ] Â your muse complimenting mine on a choice theyâve made. @kxnelâ
The decision was one Gwen had hesitated on, face to face with a man who had an alarmed look on his face and various food items in his arms. She heard the distinct shouting from the bodega shop owner about catching the guy who had taken food from his shop. âHey, itâs okay.â She said gently, âgo ahead. You need it, yeah? I got you covered. Here--â she didnât tend to keep much in the suit but she usually took some money with her to hide on her person for a snack run while patrolling. âTake this too. Just in case. Be safe, okay?â
Turning back once she had made sure the man had left without being seen, she felt her senses going haywire and snapped her head to the side, ready to web whoever was near when she saw Superboy.Â
âSuperboy?â Gwen blurted out in surprise, âI didnât know you were--â she faltered, shaking her head. Now was totally not the time to go on about the differences between this world and her own. The one she had left behind. She had to forget about it, she wasnât going back there. âI like the uh jacket. Very fashion forward.â Instead of the black and red shield she was used to seeing. âA great decision, really. You gotta add a little flair to the suit after all.â She lifted her leg, toes pointed, showing off the blue ballet shoes.

[ surprise ] for your muse to show up at mineâs house without explanation @twentyninetyninesâ
Gwen had met Miguel a few times before this. It wasnât hard to notice the other Spider-Man running, well swinging, around New York City amidst her search for the OG. It had been as surprise encounter, Gwen stuttering slightly underneath her white mask and trying to explain who she was without giving too much away. There was a silent friendship that had seemed to form between them and she was glad for that. Especially after she was introduced into the group chat and she had seen he was there, even if he didnât know it was her initially.Â
It had taken some digging to find where Miguel lived, but it was doable. She decided, of course, the window was the best approach at getting indoors. In her uniform, a backpack on her shoulders and a pink bakery box in one hand, Gwen knocked on the window pane insistently until he came to the window. Pushing her mask up, Gwen smiled sheepishly. âSurprise. Hi, uh, so Iâm Gwen. Nice to meet again properly and all, I brought you cupcakes. Can I come in?âÂ

[ panic ] for your muse to grab mineâs arm or get behind them in a moment of danger @cleverbxrdâ
Swinging through New York City had become sort of Gwenâs catharsis. She could go swinging and for the time being, forget about all the guilt that plagued her. Forget that she was filling the shoes of a ghost here. (She had thought about going to...her grave here, but had ultimately put it off. It wasnât a good idea. Not now anyways.) It wasn't exactly the same in Gotham. She had memories from the Gotham on her Earth. The friendship she had formed with Robin through helping him out in a bind despite how clearly wary he was of adding another powered friend to his roster he already had. She missed taking the ferry across the bay and being able to talk to Robinâto Tim. It had taken him time, but he had finally give a name and a face to the Robin persona. Just like she had taken off her own mask after far too long.
Not having friends was easier. Everyone she came across she had hurt, but maybe this time was different? He was a hero. He could protect himself. Thatâs what she told herself at least. Had. Had told herself. Guess it didnât matter now that she didnât live there anymore.Â
She shouldnât be in Gotham, but nostalgia brought her here. Gwen swung from the old buildings, seeing the smog and blurred city lights rush past her until she landed in an alleyway to take a quick breather and asses what she wanted to do next. That was, until she apparently interrupted a mugging and the guys turned their attention on her. âAlright, boys. Letâs leave the poor college student aloneââ They got a new addition in the form of a man wielding a staff and promptly shoving her behind him to take care of the men.
Gwen was immediately irritated, tugging roughly at the manâs arm as the last jab took out the muggers. âHey, dipshit, are you serious? Do I look like Iâm a damsel in distress? Iâm wearing spandex for fuckâs sake. Clearly, I can handle myself.â She snapped, hand raising and quickly webbing the hand of one man to the ground as he twitched towards his weapon. Though, once the man looked at her she faltered. âRobin?â She asked. His costume here was different, the symbol different as well, but the features she recognized as Tim.Â
