After his call with Miles, Peter stood in the main square of the Watchmen's island base, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he observed Miles and Gwen walking over together.

The tension that once hung between them seemed to have dissipated, replaced by a sense of closure and peace. "It's good to see you two together again. I was starting to wonder if I needed to step in and smooth things over between you two myself."

Miles and Gwen exchanged embarrassed glances, neither daring to meet Peter's eyes. Ignoring the awkwardness, Miles spoke up, "So, Peter, are you ready to go?"

Peter nodded. "Yeah, let's go. It shouldn't take more than a minute for me to place the protection spell on your dad, so we should have time to stop over at Gwen's universe while we're at it. After all, now that she's made up with you, she needs to make up with her father as well."

Gwen bit her lip, anxiety evident on her face. The thought of facing her father again after the revelation of her identity weighed heavily on her. Sensing her discomfort, Miles placed a comforting hand on her back. "Hey, don't worry too much. We'll be there with you. Everything will be alright, I promise."

After exchanging some reassuring words, Miles activated his watch for the first time, conjuring a swirling portal that shimmered with energy. Together, they stepped through the vortex, emerging in Miles' home universe.

The transition was swift, and they found themselves in Miles' bedroom. However, it wasn't the school dorm room he had originally expected, but his room at home, where he lived with his parents.

'Oh, sh*t' Miles went on alert in an instant. After all, he didn't want his parents finding out about his identity as Spider-Man, or all of the dangerous stuff he's been doing as a hero.

But unluckily, before he could truly process what was happening, his mother passed by the hallway, holding a basket of freshly washed and dried laundry. "?!" Her eyes widened, and she froze at the sight of her son, who was dressed in his spider suit minus the mask, stepping out of a literal portal, accompanied by two unknown individuals.

Panicking, Miles raised his hands in a gesture of reassurance, attempting to explain. "Mom, it's not what it looks like. We're just here to"

But his mother's shock overwhelmed her, and before Miles could finish his sentence, she uttered, "Mijo Y-Your Spider-Man?" Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted, collapsing where she stood.

Acting swiftly, Peter dashed over, appearing beside Miles's mother in a burst of speed. He caught her before she hit the ground, cradling her gently. "Well, this isn't good" Peter said, casting a glance at Miles.

"What do I do?!" Miles, wide-eyed in a panic, stammered, "I I didn't expect this to happen. I thought we'd appear at my dorm..."

Gwen looked concerned but whispered to Miles, "Give her time, Miles. It's a shock, but she'll understand."

Peter nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm sure everything will be okay once you explain it to her properly."

"Is she okay?" Miles asked, the fact that his mother fainted beginning to sink in.

As they settled Miles's mother on Miles's bed, Peter assessed the situation. "She's fine. I can wake her up right now if you want, but we should probably let her rest for now."

Miles, still processing his mother's reaction, nodded. "Yeah, that's probably for the best. We can wait until my dad gets home and explain everything to both of them then..."

The room fell into a thoughtful silence as they waited for Miles's mother to regain consciousness and his father to return him from work, uncertainty lingering in the air.

As Peter tried to leave the room, attempting to walk past Miles's father, the man blocked his way, eyeing him with suspicion. "And who are you? Aren't you a bit old to be playing dress up with my son and his girlfriend?"

Miles and Gwen looked away in embarrassment, meanwhile, Peter sighed, feeling the weight of the overprotective fatherly gaze. "Just ask Miles. He'll explain everything." With that, Peter phased through the officer and out of the room, taking Gwen along with him. "Call us if you need anything, Miles. We'll be in the living room."

Miles's father, still reeling from the sudden ghostly encounter, panicked, "What the hell just happened?!"

Miles chuckled awkwardly, trying to ease the tension. "Don't worry, Dad. Peter just has some crazy powers. You'll get used to it..."

Left alone in the room, Miles began his explanation, his parents beginning to discuss the situation with their son. It was a conversation filled with disbelief, shock, and eventually, acceptance. As they pieced together and processed everything, a startling realization dawned on them their son was Spider-Man.

Miles, with a mixture of relief and humor, finally spoke up, "Surprise..." He said, hopping up and sticking a hand to the ceiling, hanging there to really show that he was telling the truth.

As the family of three emerged from the bedroom, Peter and Gwen sat on the living room couch, the subtle hum of their conversation lingering in the air. Miles looked noticeably relieved, and Peter couldn't help but ask, "How does it feel to finally tell the truth?"

Miles smiled, a weight seemingly lifted off his shoulders. "Freeing... Is this how it felt when you told your family?"

Peter nodded, understanding the sentiment. "Yeah, take it from me, it's a lot easier to be Spider-Man when you don't have to hide it from the people you love."

On the contrary, Miles' parents wore expressions far from relief. While they accepted their son's superhero identity, worry etched across their faces as they considered the dangers he faced.

His mother approached Peter with gratitude, her eyes expressing genuine appreciation. "Peter, thank you for taking care of our son. He told us everything, about how you've always been there for him."

Her husband joined her, extending an apology for his earlier suspicions. "If there's anything we can do, just let us know. We want to repay you for looking out for Miles."

Peter humbly accepted their gratitude. "You don't need to do anything. Miles is my friend so I'll keep watching his back. You have nothing to worry about."

Miles seemed genuinely touched by his friend's words. "Thanks Peter"

"No problem Oh yeah, I almost forgot why I came here." Suddenly, Peter's expression shifted as he recalled the purpose of their visit.

He stared at the couple for a moment, a mysterious stillness in the air. As their eyes met his, he waved his hand, conjuring two spell circles. The parents watched in confusion and awe as the intricate patterns formed in real-time.

With a flick of his fingers, Peter shot the spells into both parents' bodies, surprising and frightening them. The couple exchanged glances, uncertainty evident in their eyes.

"W-What was that?!"
