Araignee: Beginnings
Pairing: Miguel O’Hara x Original Character
Genre: Fluff, Sad?
Synopsis: Miguel finds Amelie’s universe, in which there fates are swapped.
A/N: This is a prequel to my other work, Araignee. They can be read stand alone but they do connect.
The light on the screen blinked rapidly, alerting Miguel’s tired eyes to the sensor. Discovering new dimensions was always particularly interesting, there seemed to be a version of the universe that was weird, wacky or overall just amazing.
He tapped on the new light that flashed in the web of the multi-verse, watching it expand and grow in front of him.
Would this be another Peter Parker?
Perhaps another Miles Morales? He surely hoped not.
To Miguel’s surprise it was a woman standing in a hallway, struggling to hold a stack of boxes. The hallway look extremely familiar, the pale cream walls reminding him of happier days, along with the brown door that made the color scheme look even more boring.
The letters 555 pinned to the door made his heart stop.
College.
College was going to be fun.
At least, that’s what Amelie really hoped. She’d seen a lot of movies after all, college was a time to explore, make new friends and maybe even fall in love.
If she ever managed to open this god damn door with this rusty old key.
The feeling of a tilt made her gasp, watching as two of the boxes slipped from their mini tower. Amelie shut her eyes, bracing for the impact but there wasn’t any.
“You can always put your boxes down,”
The deep voice had her eyes fluttering opening, looking at the person in front of herself. He was a tall male, broad, with tan skin and warm brown eyes. He wore a simple white shirt and denim jeans, brown hair unbrushed yet still falling into place perfectly.
“Excusez-moi!” Amelie laughed softly, “I do not need a lesson on common sense,”
“How about a lesson in opening doors?” He asked, “It helps if you jiggle the key, the locks haven’t been replaced in years,”
“Do you mind?”
He gently took the last box from her, holding it with the others. Despite his gentle, almost nerdy look, he seemed to be quite strong.
Amelie jiggled the key as it turned, the brown door opening and revealing her new dorm room. Despite the musty smell, she let out an excited squeal and her feet tapped on the floor.
“I’ve never seen anyone excited about a boring college dorm,” He commented.
“It’s a new beginning!” Amelie laughed softly and gently took the boxes, quickly putting them on the inside of the door, “And thank you, I don’t think I would have opened the door if you hadn’t of told me,”
“Best to help a neighbour, my mom always said anyway,” He shrugged, “I’m 556,”
“Oh!” She perked up, “What are you studying?”
The words that left his mouth, Amelie barely managed to understand. Something along the lines of science and biology.
“Okay!” She nodded, “I’m studying education! And dance! I do ballet,”
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen ballet in my life,” He confessed.
“Well, I’ll just have the fix that,” Amelie laughed, “I’m Amelie,”
“Miguel,”
Quickly shutting the scene down, Miguel inhaled deeply as he processed what he’d just witnessed. It was like someone had taken his memories and slapped them on the screen.
Except..
This focused on Amelie.
Its main focus was on Amelie.
Amelie was the Spider Person in this universe.
“Miguel, this new universe is still processing through our systems-“
Lyla’s voice made him jump, Miguel quickly barking orders.
“Watch it extremely closely, I have to be notified if anything happens in this universe!”
Lyla’s voice stopped, the little woman appearing in the air.
“Miguel, you know your own rules,” Lyla warned.
“I know..,” He sighed and looked at the screen, “No one can ever go to this universe, it’s off limits,”
Lyla didn’t say anything.
“Especially not me,”
If his deductions were correct and Amelie was the Spider Person of this universe..
The canon event that would sent her into heroism was the death of Miguel O’Hara.
