Noir: You kids are all just… a lot.

Miles: Aw :(

Pav: I think we’re all great

Peni: so true!!

Gwen: Mhmm

Hobie: I’m in between adult and teenager here

Margo: such is the curse of being 19 I guess

Hobie: I’m responsible though

Gwen: you’re most of an adult in that regard

Noir: Eh we need any responsible figure with these kids

Peni: (눈_눈) nuh uh

Peter: I’ve watched you drink five milkshakes in one sitting

Peni: they were good

Pav: They were exceptionally good milkshakes!!

Miles: I think it was more how fast she did it that had me concerned

Gwen: I don’t even think she was breathing

Peni: i wasnt!!

Peni: who needs oxygen when I can chug sweet sugary milkshakes instead

Hobie: I see where the headaches are going to come in…

Miles: :(

Margo: Yeah guys how are the kaomojis the highlights here

Peter: Are you there??

Peter: Does he need more help????

Pav: I’m surprised you didn’t volunteer to go tbh

Miles: Me too bitch

Peter: The baby is asleep on me.

Peter: I would trust Peni to go get you before I woke her up honestly

Miles: UM??(

Peni: WHAT

Peni: WHATS WRONG WITH ME???

Peter: YOURE YOUNGER THAN MILES!

Peni: (¬_¬)…

Margo: Ooooohhhh you’re in trouble

Miles: You guys keep forgetting how effectively peni guilt trips </3

Peter: NOT LIKE THAT

Noir: It’s just that you wouldn’t trust a baby to babysit another baby, doll.

Margo: Digging yourself a deeper whole man

Peni: (∘⁼̴⃙̀˘︷˘⁼̴⃙́∘)

Miles: Jesus

Miles: HOBIE IS HERE (-^〇^-)

Miles: [image attached]

Peni: he looks angry

Pav: (⌒_⌒;) I would be scared

Hobie: If I said I was just disappointed how would that feel

Peni: OLDDDDDD

Miles: Old man

Ham: You kids are insane

Ham: How’s Miles doing though

Gwen: ^^^^

Miles: Fine

Hobie: Not that bad, no stitches needed

Hobie: Disinfected and taped it up.

Miles: The biggest problem is how to explain this to my parents

Peter: Your super healing should deal with it by the end of the day if it isn’t that deep

Peni: I can bring u super fast healing injections if u rlly need I just don’t know how ur body will react to future medicine

Miles: You can take it right?

Peni: Miles I live in a time where the air is like 20% oxygen

Peni: ofc I can handle chemicals

Peter: I’m always so concerned about all of you

Noir: Was it not jarring to appear in Miles’ dimension?

Peni: I thought the clean air was just like… an after effect of portal hopping

Peni: like it made everyone’s lungs kinda weak

Peni: took a second to realize when I got back to mine

Ham: We’re gonna have to give you oxygen in a can or something

Pav: I think we should all take from Noir’s dimension, isn’t his the oldest and least polluted?

Miles: That is a very fair point

Noir: For know all YOU need to do is rest, Miles.

Peter: Yeah, agreed.

Ham: Uh huh

Hobie: I hate to agree with all the old people, but yeah

Noir: How old do you all reckon I am?

Peni: 35

Noir: What?

Miles: NEVER ANSWER A WUESTION ABOUT SOMEONES AGE PENI

Peni: 人(_ _*) was I off?

Margo: Don’t hit the man with a Kaomoji right now 😭

Hobie: Honestly I was betting around the same

Noir: Not even close.

Miles: Like… older or younger

Peter: GUYS YOURE MAKING THIS WORSE

Gwen: 30???

Pav: Maybe like 28

Noir: I’m twenty-three.

Peni: SHOCK??!!?

Pav: ∑(O_O;)

Miles: (⊙_⊙)

Gwen: NO WAY?(?

Ham: Okay even I’m a bit caught off guard

Hobie: Is that what I’m gonna be like in a few years?

Peter: I thought at the very least 25 tbh

Noir: I regret asking that question.

Ham: How old how old is everyone else here because I don’t trust my guessing skills now??

Miles: 15

Peni: 14!!

Pav: 15!!!! Age twins Miles ( ˙▿˙ )

Gwen: 16

Margo: Same 16

Hobie: 19

Peter: 39

Ham: 30, Jesus you are old Peter

Peter: Oh god I am

Peni: man I really am the youngest

Peter: Get back to elementary Peni

Peni: get back to the retirement home old man (¬_¬)

Peter: You’ve wounded me.

Hobie: I think we need to start not letting anyone under 18 do this spiderman business 

Miles: You’re BARELY 19 you’re closer to us than them man

Peni: BE ON OUR SIDEEEE

Hobie: I can’t support the reckless endangerment you guys participate in on a daily basis honestly

Pav: ╥﹏╥

Miles: Hobie doesn’t get to be in the super secret side chat us kids make then

Peter: IS THAT REAL???

Peni: (・ω<)

Noir: Don’t do that, is that chat real?

Pav: (^_<)

Hobie: jfc

Ham: You guys are the worst

Miles: \_( ◉ 3 ◉ )_/¯

Margo: I don’t know how much I’d like to be in that chat actually..

Miles: Then you’re cut

Margo: WAIT I TAKE IT BACK I DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF NOT BEING INVOLVED ANYMORE

Peni: THEN UR IN!!!

Peni: ☆:.。.o(≧▽≦)o.。.:☆

Peter: God dammit

Notes:

Working on a peni Parker fic at like 9k rn but it’s very angsty and hurt comfort stuff so doing this in the meantime!!

Love the spider kids <3

Was on the fence with wether or not I wanted to go with the idea that the movie probably aged Noir up or make him younger but I think it’s funnier if he’s like young twenties and everyone is shocked

Chapter 2: Peni: heyyy who’s not a snitch

Notes:

Peni is sick :’(

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Margo: I’ll bring that one up to Jess…

Pav: Are you guys okay (″ロ゛)

Notes:

Peni and miles r siblings

I almost had Margo say “good girl” in a joking way but it came off more flirty than I figured she would be

Chapter 3: Miles: They’re taking advantage of the power they know they have

Notes:

The adults realize they’re all somehow someone’s parent now

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Jess: Peter you should’ve apologized anyway

Noir: I just wanted to make Peni happy, honestly.

Peter: IM NOT BEING UR FALLGUY ANYMORE

Ham: I’ll do it next time then calm down!

Peter: UGHH

 


SPIDERLINGS

Prowler: you’ve all been quiet

Pav: oh they’re all enemies right now

Miles: we think the adults have a sidechat too

Peni: and the adults all know the power they hold over us bc we all crave parental approval and see them all as parental figures

Gwen: Yeah no one here is having a good time

Pav: I’m fine actually I have great parents and me and hobie r brothers now!!

Prowler: im starting to think Pav is absorbing all the spider people’s luck or smth bc why is he always catching a break

Pav: Well my dimension almost completely fell apart so I think this is all just like good karma after that horrible awful event

Prowler: huh

Peni: I’ve had a lot of horrible awful event and gotta say no good karma

Gwen: Yeah idk about that one Pav I think the universe just likes you

Pav: yay for me either way \(≧▽≦)/

Notes:

Pav after being the only spider person who is functional happy and having a relatively good time

Chapter 4: Peter: Who gave Peni drugs.

Notes:

Underage smoking and some anxiety but like all pretty light and playful and the smoking was under strange conditions

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Miles was excited for his hang out with Peni and Gwen. It had been a bit since just the three of them got to hang out, especially in his dimension, and they were having a good time.

They were just walking down the street, Peni excitedly chatting about something, when she must’ve seen something she liked, because she suddenly darted off.

“Peni!” Miles groaned as he chased after her. They quickly caught up to her standing at one of those coin meter things.

“Aww, I’ve never seen an authentic one of these look so new!” Peni held out her hand and SP//dr crawled along it, “Isn’t it cool? You think I could keep this?”

Before Miles had time to explain the logistics behind stealing a coin meter thing— would that parking spot be open or closed forever?— someone yelled out and smacked Peni’s hand.

“SP//dr!” Peni shrieked, dropping to the ground to look around for the guy. Miles looked up at the person who smacked her hand, seeing a guy who looked like a late teen, early 20s maybe? He was holding a drink, one you get from, like, a soda fountain— plastic lid and straw and stuff.

“The fuck you bringing a tarantula to the city for?” The guy yelled, reeling back in disgust. Miles realized that he was holding SP//dr, and Gwen gently tugged Peni up and pointing to him, “Seriously, this thing is nasty!”

“Just give it back, dude,” Miles moved in front of Peni and Gwen, “It’s a good… spider. It doesn’t bite.”

“Give him back!” Peni added, trying to push forward, but being gently held back by Gwen.

“You want this freaky little thing so bad?” The guy sneered before quickly drinking the rest of the drink and popping the lid off before dropping SP//dr in, and popping the lid back on, without the straw. “I need something first.”

“Hey! Knock it off!” Peni’s eyes widened and she pushed forward, shoving Gwen away before running straight up to the guy and reaching for the cup, “Give him back now!”

“Peni!” Miles tugged her back— she was plenty capable, but she couldn’t exactly win a fight with this guy without her tech or something, and Miles didn’t want to deal with a fight. “What do you want?”

“You know those dealers on 45th and 6th?” The guy looked at Miles, probably recognizing him from being around here. “They aren’t selling to me right now— a little problem. I ain’t got that much money, either, so you guys get me something, anything, from them, and I give this bug back.”

“Like drugs?” Gwen finally spoke, narrowing her eyes, “Seriously?”

“Yeah, fine, you just stay here, and we’ll be back in less than an hour!” Peni nodded fervently, “Promise you won’t hurt him.”

“Pinky promise kid,” He held out his pinky, probably sarcastically by the way his eyes widened a bit when Peni leaned forward and shook his pinky, but he didn’t say anything. “I’ll be right here until, say, 6:30, then I’m tossing this bug off a bridge and moving on.” Peni tensed at that, before grabbing Miles and Gwen and pulling them off.

“Peni, you know what he was talking about, right?” Miles checked when they were far away enough, “He wants us to buy drugs for him.”

“Miles, I will give him a bomb to make sure SP//dr is back,” Peni hissed out before wincing a back, “Okay, he said not a bomb. But I’m giving him drugs for SP//dr.” Miles remembered the psychic link and hummed a bit. He wondered if Peni could feel SP//dr’s fear right now, if the little guy was scared.

“Are drugs not a thing in your dimension? You’re being really casual about drug dealing,” Gwen emphasized, and Miles nodded along.

“Well, first of all, not everyone was raised by cops, so not everyone freaks out over crime committing like you two-”

“It’s not just crimes, it’s drugs!” Miles cut in with a whisper-yell. Peni gave an exasperated sigh.

“All your drugs have been legalized, secondly,” Peni continued, “What are we even gonna get him? Like, cocaine?”

“I was aiming for, like… a vape, at most?” Miles suggested with a shrug, eyes widening a bit, “Peni, cocaine is super illegal and very very expensive.”

“Ohhh, yeah, your guys’ drugs were harder to get back then… now?” Peni hummed and dug around in her pockets before handing Miles a 20 dollar bill, “This enough?”

“Yeah, it’s fine,” Honestly, Miles was expecting more like 50 for the vape, but he would cover the rest of it— Peni was probably already stressed about SP//dr, judging by the way her gaze was shooting around nervously.

“Here, just in case,” Gwen seemed more knowledgeable about the cost and pulled out a ten, handing it to Miles. He offered a thankful smile as they kept walking.

“I think we could’ve just jumped that guy and moved on,” Peni mumbled, crossing her arms.

“Peni, I live here,” Miles frowned and gestured around, “I don’t wanna be known as the kid who got into a fist fight over a spider.”

“SP//dr,” Peni emphasized with a frown, “He’s not just any spider!”

“No one else would know that,” Gwen added, and Peni gave a frustrated huff but gave up. Gwen and Miles glanced at each other when the girl’s shoulders dropped.

“Hey, Pen, we’re gonna get him back,” Miles set a hand on Peni’s shoulder, “Really. Don’t worry about it.”

“I promise we are taking this seriously,” Gwen nodded at her.

“I know, I’m just worried because SP//dr is worried, and then he gets worried because I am, and.. it’s a whole cycle,” Peni mumbled with a shrug, “Let’s just hurry up and get this done. This is the street, right?”

Miles looked around and nodded, spotting a guy standing in a corner. “You two stay here, they’re more likely to sell to me if I’m alone, and they’ve probably seen me around,” He glanced at the other two, who nodded and let him go over to the corner alone.

The conversation was awkward— the guy recognized him as the police chief’s kid and Miles had to awkward explain that the short girl over there was basically his little sister and some guy stole something of hers, and Miles didn’t want his dad to find out about this as much as the dealer didn’t. He eventually admonished and let him have it for 45, a pretty good deal, all things considered— at least Miles thought so. Not like he did drugs. This guy definitely could’ve been overcharging him, but he didn’t complain and darted back to the others.

“Okay, let’s go get SP//dr,” Miles sighed with a nod. Peni grinned up at him and Gwen offered a sympathetic shoulder pat, recognizing the fact Miles was probably out some money, and terrified of someone recognizing him and telling his dad.

They got back to the guy, and Peni seemed relieved, so Miles guessed that SP//dr was fine.

“Here,” Miles glanced around and shoved the vape into the guy’s hand. He grinned and took it from Miles, inspecting it.

“Give me-” Peni let out a frustrated growl as she grabbed for the cup, and the guy held it back, “Hey!”

“Man, we did what you asked,” Miles gave an exasperated sigh, starting to consider using his spider powers now.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m just messing,” The guy chuckled and held the vape out to Peni, “Look, how about you take a hit and take some of that edge of, kid?”

“Whoa, dude, she’s fourteen,” Miles cut in, shaking his head, “She doesn’t vape.”

“Come on, dude, plenty of middle schoolers vape,” He laughed, but was starting to move to hand Peni the cup, “Take yo-”

Peni moved forward and grabbed the vape, and Miles was left too horrified to act for a couple seconds, then finally pushed her and pulled the vape away, shoving it back to the guy. “Peni!”

“Peni, breathe,” Gwen was patting her on the back, but Peni just breathed the smoke out, and Miles frantically waved it away.

“Without coughing?! Man,” The guy laughed and tossed the cup, Peni jumping up to catch it, “Your friend isn’t as innocent as you thought.” With that he left, and Miles turned to Peni, his eyes wide.

“What? I got SP//dr back,” Peni popped the cup open and smiled as he shot back onto her arm, “Aww, missed you, too!”

“Peni,” Gwen blinked at her, “You- your throat doesn’t hurt? Like, you feel fine?”

“Yeah,” Peni shrugged as she cooed at SP//dr, “What was that? Like, a vape? I think I heard about those in history class, but they weren’t very relevant.”

“Drugs, Peni,” Miles groaned, eyeing her nervously, “You feel fine? Really?”

“Your universes’ ‘drugs’ are, like, nothing to me,” Peni rolled her eyes and looked at them, “Again, my planet is mostly chemicals. I breathe that stuff in on the daily. It was just kinda sweet and metallicy.”

“Don’t- do not ever do that again,” Gwen grabbed Peni by the shoulders, “Like, ever. Don’t even touch drugs, even if they are lame to you.”

“I just wanted SP//dr back, guys, it’s fine,” Peni held her hands up, “But I promise I won’t do any of your universe’s lame drugs ever again.”

“Don’t do any drugs that aren’t legal in your universe, either,” Miles added, and Peni nodded.

“Yeah, sure,” She smiled and pet SP//dr, “What were we doing before all this.”

Gwen and Miles just exchanged tired looks.
