The tiny spider boy
Chapter 3
Peter cradles the now relaxed child in his hand as he considers his escape action, being suddenly interrupted when he hears a door open abruptly in the distance followed by a set of footsteps. This also alerts the startled child in your hand.
Knowing he doesn't have time, he improvises quickly and springs into action as he alerts the shrunken child to get ready, with his right hand he adjusts his grip on the small body towards his chest; With his left hand he throws a spider web towards the ceiling in the right corner of the room, just behind the door where there is a blind spot and the light from the hallway does not reach. With a push he climbs onto the ceiling face up with a thud, releasing his right hand that is holding Miles, leaving him on his chest and thus supporting his 4 limbs against the ceiling for greater stability.
Although Spiderman warned him, Miles could feel the sudden action and the vertigo originate, everything happened so quickly that he barely had time to grab onto the white web that the spider formed on the hero's chest. When every step my wrists were pale from his strong grip. He only realizes that Spider-Man's hand is leaving him when the weight holding him is gone.
Trying to absorb his new surroundings, the first thing he notices is that Miles is now kneeling on the hero's chest, he feels it rise and fall with his breathing, as if he had gone to bed, but it's not like that, to confirm his suspicions, He scans around and up, his hands and feet now glued to the ceiling as he uses his body to hold Miles as a solid base, which he isn't quite, he can feel the pecs beneath him move with the slightest movement of his his arms, in front of him he sees his jaw twisting to one side with an effort to look down at the entrance to the door.
The footsteps get stronger and stronger until 2 scientists enter to look for Miles, but they are surprised that his cage is open and empty -where is he?- asks the man with an euphoric voice -WHERE? IS THE EXPERIMENT 1610???-
That scream makes Miles jump when he hears that number again, bringing back bad memories, how they grab him without his consent, without measuring their strength, squeezing him until they almost break his bones, the needles that stick into him causing stinging and bruising, and barely throwing him crumbs of food like a worthless animal.
Peter notices his start, gently tries to reassure him by resting his hand on him again; This action causes Miles to scare unconsciously as he is immersed in memories, trying to avoid the hand in vain, this leaves him paralyzed and trembling, until he feels something run gently down his back, when he looks back he sees that it is the thumb massaging it to calm him down, there he comes to himself reminding you once again who he was with and tries to calm down.
Luck is on their side, the scientists didn't even bother to look up at the ceiling, they think that the padlock was broken somehow and the boy escaped, so they searched the whole floor, not finding him and cursing they went out into the hallway. to look for him in the other doors without imagining that there is an intruder hidden in his secret lair.
Seeing that they went out into the hallway, Peter looks at Miles, who is now at peace once again in the cave of his hand, he whispers to him softly -I'm going to start moving, try to keep you in the center of my chest, okay?- the boy nods, he feels how his little hands grab the fabric of his suit.
Gently and deftly he removes his hand from covering the boy to start moving across the ceiling on his back like a spider, making Miles feel every movement of his body, every muscle and tendon in his chest kick into action underneath the suit. as he progresses, for added safety Miles decides to lie on his stomach, while gripping the fabric as tightly as his weak body will allow him to avoid losing his balance
Once he leaves the corner and goes around the door he dutifully sticks his head into the hallway, he can still hear the voice of one of the scientists in the distance, the other seemed to have left, and in front of him is the same ventilation duct that He allowed him entry.
Taking advantage of every precious second, he warned the boy once again that things were going to get hectic, to which he prepared himself.
Cupping the boy once more with his firm right hand, Peter uses his other hand against the ceiling to adhere the web fluid to it, quickly grabs hold of the fluid and takes off his feet to straighten up and hang from the web as he meekly descends and quickly.
Upon making contact with the ground, he takes quick steps and instantly finds one of the many grates that are in the ventilation duct, he skillfully does the same action that I use to enter, only this time he goes up with a small load
Once inside the ventilation duct with the grill closed, away from everyone's sight, raise your hand with the precious cargo to eye level to examine it to see if it is okay... which you would be lying if you said.
Seeing a child shrunken, emaciated by experiments and the lack of necessary care strikes him down inside, it makes him feel enormous rage, but the important thing now is that he got him away from those disgusting clutches, and the best thing right now is to take him to his home with M.J. to take care of it and heal it.
"Are you okay, kid?" He asks him sweetly, to which he responds with a courteous "yes." The little he spoke could tell his throat was dry as if he hadn't used his vocal cords in a long time.
Being on all fours ready to crawl through the duct towards the exit, he gently lifts the child onto his left shoulder, Miles settles in and grabs the fabric once again, this time above the shoulder blade, near the neck.
Once ready, he begins to march through the long metal tunnel, this time he continues past where he first entered the interior of the abandoned factory, his objective is to find an exit directly to the outside, he did not want to risk it and accidentally meet with some Kingpin dog, plus it's not that difficult when you have to follow gusts of air that guide you to the exit.
These gusts made Miles tremble, being so small and thin, the cold lately invaded his bones, desperately in search of heat he moved closer to the back of Spiderman's neck, trying to lie as much as possible against his body that radiated heat while trying to use his head to protect himself from the wind.
Peter feels its small sudden movement towards his neck causing a small tingle, he stops walking for a moment when he feels his small body tremble because of the wind.
-If only I had something to wear comfortably while being warm and protected... I'll have to create a new suit for missions like this- he thinks internally as he examines himself, not finding anywhere else to put it until he reaches the neck area... maybe here…
Miles realizes that Spiderman has stopped crawling, surprised, he is tempted to ask if something is wrong when he sees one of his hands approaching him, he tries to stay still and closes his eyes so as not to run away.
He feels it being transferred in his cupped hand, to which he opens his eyes to see what he is up to, but is disconcerted to see Spiderman's bare neck, the part of the mask is raised to below the jaw while the lower part of the neck of the suit that joins the rest of the jumpsuit, is held by the middle and index fingers of the opposite hand, separating it from the skin, creating a small gap between the neck and the fabric.
Without a word, he slides Miles into the gap, causing him to yelp in surprise; It is so light, thin and small that it fits without problems.
Miles thought for a moment that he was going to slide too far into the suit, but the pressure of it stopped him, now his feet barely reach the top of the sternum and his head sticks out between the neck and the fabric; When Spiderman removes his two fingers that separate Miles's fabric, he adjusts it around the child, gently pressing it against his neck, acting as a seat belt while protecting him a little from the cold and gusts.
-Do you feel comfortable there? Peter asks, making his vocal cords vibrate on Miles's back, -Y - YES! - he responded, it was disconcerting and strange, this new environment, but at the same time more comfortable and strangely comforting, feeling the warmth that gently surrounds him, he feels He relaxes and gets deeper into the suit until his head can barely be seen.
Listening to his affirmation, Peter resumes his journey through the ducts now with the little boy protected inside his suit in an improvised way, he can notice that he is now more comfortable and warm since his tremors have completely stopped, only occasionally can he feel like he squirms a bit, which barely tickles his neck, but it doesn't bother him at all and he's glad the boy is better now...
It seems that the scientist who stayed behind was so absorbed looking for the boy in the corridors that he didn't even notice the intruder who was taking his little experiment.
Finally found the exit! The grille that separates the duct from the weather was very easy to open since it is all rusty and worn, as are the screws that held it with what was left of their strength.
Once open Peter sticks his head out to survey the surroundings, this duct leads directly outside the abandoned factory at ground level, a dirt floor, and once again sees the old brick wall surrounding the factory, once he makes sure no one is completely out and stands at his full height.
When Spiderman comes out and stops, Miles feels a cool breeze hit him directly in the face, and when he sees his surroundings he notices that it is dawn, the sun is barely showing the first rays of light in the city of Brooklyn, he breathes deeply feeling the free oxygen from Dust and gloom, the fresh and pure air invading her little lungs, the melody of the birds welcoming her to the dawn, this freedom is something she never thought she would feel again.
