Spidersona Part 3
Background and some canon events
Michelle
Spider-Woman
Spider-Beam
Part 1
Part 2
Michelle's biggest divergence is her family which includes her parents and siblings. This is one reason why she's paired with May Parker as her mentor, because May has parents and a sibling too. Except Michelle's family doesn't know about her being Spider-woman, even though she has a good relationship with them. They worry about her living so far, she sees it as protecting them.
Despite the secrecy, she's very emotionally well adjusted being Spider-woman and its demands on her life. Being able to share the workload with Jessica and Cindy and have reliable allies is the main contributor to her work life balance.
Michelle has experienced a few canon events, other than being bitten. She has fewer canon events than most spiders because of Jessica and Cindy, her move from her family, and extreme separation of her spider and regular life.
The three Spider-women experienced various spider canon events, as if they split it among themselves.
Michelle has experienced a Captain Stacy event.
Being Spider-woman has also worked out well for Michelle because her husband KNOWS she's spider woman.
Patrick has been a part of Michelle's life from a young age. After an eternity of will-they or won't-they, they finally became a couple and were eventually married. She told him her identity after he proposed, not wanting it to be an issue in their marriage. While surprised, he takes the news well. He supports her however he can, mostly by moving to New York for her.
They were only able to get together during a time when she experienced a major canon event: she lost her spider powers. After two years of being Spider woman, a significant fight with Electro resulted in power loss when she tried to fight alone. He caught her and tried to stop her heart with multiple electricity strikes.
She barely manages to get away.
"It felt like I was being ripped apart," she whispers to Jessica while shaking.
Michelle looks at her trembling hands, "I-I can't make it stop."
Jessica takes Michelle's hands between her own, "imagine holding yourself together. We'll be here until you're able."
In the morning, her spider abilities are gone.
At first, she tried working with Doctor Strange and the spider women to regain her powers.
When nothing worked, she scheduled a long return visit to California to be close with her family. Feeling lost, she reached out to childhood friends in order to regain something normal in her life.
Michelle and Patrick started dating after a month, but she regained her powers soon after. She returned to New York and they started dating long distance, which helped keep her spider woman life a secret.
Patrick moves in after the wedding. It's a relief to have someone she can completely be herself with.
Once the spider society recruited her, she left the library and worked at HQ full time. She felt that her universe was protected and in capable hands.
Her explanation to family and friends is that she's working for an organization that requires complete discretion/secrecy. Most people think she works for a government agency.
Her main condition for joining the society was to keep Patrick updated if something happened to her and bring him with her if she moved on site. She refused to keep this a secret from him. Patrick still works a regular job to keep up appearances for their lifestyle.
Michelle knows she would have the most impact helping younger spiders. After probation, she specialized in helping/mentoring spiders with children who were already developing spider powers like Peter B's Mayday, and spiders younger than 13.
To be continued!

Spider-Beam Interlude
The Sibling
Previous post
One day during Michelle and Patrick's stay at HQ, with LYLA'S help, Michelle sneaks her younger brother onto base to help out with a music project for Hobie and the spider band.
Her brother is a musician, as well as a sound and stage technician.
She calls him and says, "You can't ask questions. But it's gonna be a really cool music session. You in?"
"Sure."
Her excuse to him about all the 2D people?
"They're all holograms, really advanced ones."
He doesn't question it and proceeds to have an amazing recording session.
After demonstrating his ability to work with futuristic tech ("It's kinda intuitive and not that hard to figure out," her brother said.) and keep a secret, Miguel offers to Michelle to bring him onboard as The Guy in the Chair to work alongside LYLA. LYLA recommended him.
After debating it for a while, she offers him a choice.
"Here's your red pill, blue pill moment. It's a job offer, so you'll find out what I do. If you decide not to after you find out, you'll go home with no memory of this."
"You're spider woman."
"HOW DID YOU KNOW?!"
"I'm your brother."
"OMG."
He accepts and travels between home and HQ for work, receiving his own special watch.
Michelle gives him his codename: Bro.
He gets notified when someone says out loud, "Hey, Bro" to their gizmo.
Patrick hangs out with her brother a lot during work hours, happy to have another non-spider person and someone he knows around.

The Admin T.I. title system wasn’t implemented until the finalized release of Gamefuna’s programming software. Most of Gameworks’ beta testers were more familiar with the app’s original avatar, but critics (the avatar themself) were worried that its name would be too on-the-nose for the average user.
It’s rare that employees manage to catch a glimpse at Mr. Natas’ computer screen, but the very few who do are quick to notice that his Admin looks nothing like an Admin at all.
