Excerpt:
“Peter is coming back at the end of this week.”
Miguel’s hand twitched. He didn’t have to ask Jess which Peter. He kept his eyes down below on the street of this new Earth-20093, waiting for the anomaly to surface.

“Nope. I don’t know how he does it with that many spider folk. I’m just looking at you.” Jess crossed her arms. “I don’t know what happened between you two but is it going to be an issue working with him again?”
