“ i’ve spent enough time around you that i want to believe you, but you didn’t really do anything to make that clear. ” the teen pointed out, raising her pierced brow at the other woman. “ i mean, you attacked peter first, before you even knew that we had stolen your computer. or, more like before you knew they had stolen your computer. what were we supposed to do? stop in the woods and hope your interns would stop shooting at us long enough to have a polite conversation about how we only wanted to get home and prevent brooklyn from collapsing? ”
gwen thought about it for a moment. traveling to other universes, seeing all the different variations of the spiders in those universes, seeing miles and peter again… it all sounded nice. but being gone from her earth for so long had really messed things up, and she wanted time to make up for everything. for disappearing, for being so isolated after peter’s death… traveling the multiverse just didn’t seem like a good idea.
“ i’m not opposed to the idea, it just… isn’t a good idea for me right now. ” she finally admitted, heading to the hall closet to grab the doc a pillow and some blankets, hoping that olivia hadn’t seen the look of sadness that had flashed across her face. “ i need to stay here, focus on my life and family. but.. maybe one day. seeing the multiverse sounds cool. ” she couldn’t help but say that last part, because it was the truth.
“Naturally I attacked him. He was Spider-Man, I was still missing the old Peter Parker, he showed up in my lab, it was the perfect opportunity. Plus he really didn’t get the hint before then.” She had to help the poor guy out. “As much fun as our little battles were, do you think I’d purposefully draw a bunch of enemies to my dimension? It’s not the most tactical move.” Liv scoffed. “Only wanted to get home? You also wanted to destroy my collider.” And now it was probably being dismantled.
“I wasn’t inviting you to tag along.” Sure, she had enticed Gwen with the idea of getting to see her little friends again, but that would be later. She had dibs on exploring the multiverse first, and maybe someday, if shown the proper recognition, she could be persuaded to share that technology. But this wasn’t a field trip. This was a new discovery that was hers alone.
“Oh, thanks.” She sat with her knees bent, leaning against the pillow with one blanket spread over her legs. She folded another one to cushion her arm, the better to avoid straining her injured elbow. Wasn’t Gwen’s family just her dad? He was a grown man, he should be able to take care of himself. For once she passed up the chance to be difficult. “It does, doesn’t it?” With a little sigh she rested her good elbow on her legs, almost content. “All the worlds out there... you could spend a lifetime seeing them.”
