Chapter 135 Miles dropped the ball

Miles Morales's Point of View

We made our way towards the explosion we were ordered to take. When I seen our enemy I cursed at our bad luck because we got the easiest one. Gwen had the civilians run away while I kept Carrion distracted. It wasn’t hard, he was practically a normal human. Throwing quips around while he kept rushing towards me trying to touch me. I could only laugh, I hadn’t fought the guy before so I didn’t know what his powers were but if he was trying to get into melee range I thought it must have been super strength or something.

Gwen managed to get the civilians away and she wanted to finish it quickly by teaming up. I was being cocky and turned away from him for a second to look at Gwen before my spider-sense went crazy. He had been sandbagging the entire time and the moment I dropped my guard he started flying towards me. Moments away from being touched Gwen knocked me out of the way.

When he touched her face she cried out in intense pain. Melting through her mask I could already see the blackened decaying skin from his touch. I just saw red after that. When I came to Carrion was already dead and my fists were covered in dead skin and blood. Gwen was looking at me with fear in her eyes...

..................................................................................................................................

As he spoke I grabbed his hands to heal. It was a short fight but Carrion was always a D-list villain. I’m surprised he didn’t trip and fall on a knife, his plot armor must be in the negatives. How the fuck did he manage to hurt either of them is the real question. That being said, after I healed him I asked. “So where’s Gwen at, I’ll get her healed up and ready for combat again.”

He just sighed before saying. “I don’t know. She... She ran away. When I saw her face... I just, I felt so bad for her.” I couldn’t help but start to chuckle evilly in my head as I realized why I was so focused on getting to the bottom of what happened. The first reason was, that I liked comics, and hearing even a secondhand version of something that probably happened in a comic in the real world was pretty cool.

The second was obviously for her. This pretty much cinched it. My plot armor is a new sixth sense driving me towards women I want to sleep with. I wanted Gwen so circumstances played out to get her to break up with her boyfriend at the time... I don’t think that’s the exact case though. If Miles hadn’t snapped he most likely wouldn’t have scared her away.

She just kept looking into my eyes as I cut her lip wider. She tried talking with the sudden leaking mouth. “Yeath. Well, not mucth I can do.” After fully removing everything she spit out some blood and waited for me to heal her mouth before asking. “So... Why weren’t you scared of my appearance?” I could only laugh which made her mad. I took out my old ID and handed it to her.

The shocked expression she made from the picture of my old self made me laugh twice as hard. “I had a gigantic facial scar the first month of living in this universe. Even though I cured myself I could still see the looks the doctors and nurses gave me. It was like I still had the wound visible, they couldn’t get passed it mentally. I think that some people will always view you at your lowest no matter how much you change.”

It was another subtle dig that might lead to another fight between her and Miles. I couldn’t rush their breakup and I wasn’t going to force it but if it was so rocky that a few sentences could break them up they really shouldn’t have been together. I just hoped it would be enough. If they stayed together after this then I’ll let them be but if she breaks up with him... Then she’s up for grabs.
