Chapter 94: Ham

A few minutes ago.

Inside an apartment, Gwen Stacy could be seen wearing her Spider-Woman outfit while talking to what seemed to be...a pig dressed like Spider-Man.

Right, this was indeed Spider-Ham that Peter had seen earlier.

Although the scene looked quite funny, both of their expressions were grim.

There was also a hologram in between the two displaying a man in a futuristic blue and red suit.

It was Miguel O’Hara. The Spider-Man of 2099.

At that moment, Miguel looked over to Gwen and asked.

“Gwen, vacation time’s over. Have you finished scouting the new spider kid?”

Gwen sighed.

“He’s not ready. He’s still...too new to this. We need to give him more time.”

“There’s no time. He’ll just have to adapt quickly He’s supposed to be ‘The Prodigy’ isn’t he? The Inheritors are on the move again. If you don’t bring him in now, he...we are all doomed!”

Miguel gritted his teeth as he recalled a time in the past.

It wasn’t the first time the Inheritors had attacked them and they had lost quite a bit Spider-men before.

This time...who knows how things will end?

Gwen hesitated for a moment.

“But...this world seems...different....I don’t think the Inheritors will dare to come here. If they did come...”

“What do you mean? You all look like monkeys here too.”

Spider-Ham interjected.

Gwen rolled her eyes.

“I mean, there’s someone really powerful here. What if...”

Just as she was about to continue, her phone rang.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Looking at the caller, she was a bit surprised as she was just thinking about him.

It was none other than Benjamin Freed.

“Give me a sec.”

Gwen turned around and answered the call. When Spider-Ham was about to complain, she quickly shot a web to his mouth to cover it up.

Miguel was also about to speak but didn’t continue when he saw this.

Although he was just a hologram, she might cut the connection to shut him up too.

After glaring at them for a bit, she answered.

“Capt.? What’s up? Is there something happening? It’s rare for you to call like this.”

On the other side, Benjamin saw the scene around Gwen the moment she mentioned him.

Although Gwen wasn’t in any emergency or danger, Benjamin decided to use his ability to check in on her and sure enough, it was as he had thought.

Spider-Ham was there. Not to mention, there was also a hologram of Spider-Man 2099.

“Do you know where FEAST is?”

“Uhh, that’s the new charity group that popped up right? I think I know where it is.”

“Come here. And bring the pig and the one from 2099 with you.”

“Sure...wait, what? How did you...”

“I told you that if your problem becomes this world’s problem, I’ll have to intervene. And since those two are here, there must be something happening.”

“...”

Gwen looked at Miguel for a bit before sighing.

“Fine. We’ll be there.”

After ending the call, Miguel asked.

“Capt.? Is that Captain America of this world? Or maybe Captain Marvel?”

Peter looked at him with a confused expression.

“And you are...? Some kind of future me?”

“No. I’m not a Peter Parker. I’m another Spider-Man in another universe that’s set in the future.”

“Your name’s Peter Parker, Spider-Man?”

Leah looked at Spider-Man in surprise.

“...”

Peter facepalmed.

“Oh, you’re the type of Peter that keeps his identity a secret. My bad.”

He didn’t look like he was reflecting on it though.

Miguel turned to Leah.

“Why is she even here?”

“Well, I only called Spider-Man but since she’s already here, it doesn’t matter.”

Benjamin shrugged.

“Anyway. Let me introduce myself to the two visitors from another universe. My name’s Benjamin Freed. I work for the Enhanced Police Division of this world and am in charge of guarding against extranormal threats.”

“I don’t care what division you are. This is a spider problem. It’s best you do not involve yourself.”

“Save the stubbornness. The moment you guys tried to involve our world’s Spider-Man, you made it my problem as well. Now either you tell me what’s going on or I just read your mind without your permission.”

“...I’m a hologram. How can you read my mind?”

Benjamin sighed.

He waved his hand and took a device from Spider-Ham.

“Ah! Hey!”

Benjamin pointed at him and he paused in space.

Ignoring the frozen pig, Benjamin pressed on the device a few times and a portal opened up.

He then waved his hand again and suddenly, Miguel’s hologram disappeared.

Soon after, a figure came flying out of the portal and landed on the ground in front of them.

“Now you’re not a hologram anymore. Are you interested in sharing now?”

“...”

Miguel looked to be in a daze, still not understanding what had happened.

After a while, he finally snapped out of it.

“You! H-how-!? Telekinesis shouldn’t work through a multiverse portal!”

“I just did it. You saw me do it.”

Benjamin shrugged.

Gwen sighed and placed her hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t bother. It’s useless to use common sense on this guy.”

Peter also added.

“Is him pulling you through a portal really more unbelievable than a talking pig?”

“Hey! I’m still here you know!? Can you let me move already!?”

Spider-Ham protested.

“Oh, I forgot about you.”

Benjamin chuckled and let Spider-Ham go.

Miguel looked at the talking pig and couldn’t help but agree with Peter.

Spider-Ham saw Miguel looking at him and asked.

“What? Am I too hamsome? I’m telling you, I’m a straight pig!”

“...”
