"Okay, is no one else bothered by this right now?" Felicia asked abruptly, spinning around to face the group.
Lizzy raised an eyebrow, giving her a puzzled look. "What do you mean?"
"Thank you!" MJ exclaimed, throwing her hands up. "I thought I was going crazy! Or that my Spidey-senses were acting up after their upgrade. They're still overly sensitive."
"What the hell are you two even talking about?" Lizzy asked, glancing between them with growing confusion.
Gwen let out a tired sigh, crossing her arms. "Peter and I have been feeling like someone’s watching us for a few days now. We don’t know where it’s coming from, and Aria hasn’t been able to track them down."
"I am trying!" Aria’s voice piped up indignantly from Peter’s wristband.
"No one’s blaming you, sweetie," Peter reassured gently, shaking his head.
Lizzy squinted at them, leaning back slightly. "Wait... you’re getting this creepy feeling down here? In the base?"
"Yup," Peter confirmed, his tone edged with annoyance. "We even asked the Ancient One about it, but all she did was smile cryptically and not say a single word."
"Of course she didn’t," Gwen muttered, shaking her head.
"Well," she added, rubbing her temple in frustration, "at least it’s not some pervy voyeur. Whoever it is respects our privacy when we’re, you know, in the bathroom or doing personal stuff."
"Great," Felicia deadpanned, folding her arms. "So we’re being watched, but they’re polite about it. That’s... comforting."
Peter glanced at MJ and Felicia, his expression serious but calm. "Just ignore it for now. Whoever this voyeuristic creep is, they’ll reveal themselves eventually. The gaze isn’t hostile—at least, not as far as I can tell."
The group collectively nodded, though an air of unease lingered as they made their way toward the meeting room.
---
Once inside, they took their seats at the polished table, nameplates gleaming under the soft lights. They waited patiently for the final member to arrive.
“Are Bruce and Betty joining us today?” Felicia asked curiously, leaning back in her chair.
“Nope,” Gwen replied, reclining with a relaxed posture. “Tomorrow’s Betty’s big mission, so she and Bruce are spending the day on a date.”
Felicia smirked, kicking her feet up onto the table. "Fair. I wouldn’t want to interrupt them either."
The door opened moments later, revealing Harry, who strode in confidently. He retracted his suit’s high-tech mask, revealing his usual cocky grin as he took a seat next to Lizzy. Before sitting, he leaned down to kiss her cheek, making her smile.
"So," Harry began, addressing the group. "Did you guys go through with the SSS enhancement yet?"
The group exchanged glances and nodded.
Lizzy shot him a teasing smirk. "You’d better watch your back, Harry. Pretty soon, I’m going to be stronger than you."
Harry scoffed, his smirk widening. "I’d love to see the day, Liz."
Turning to Peter, Harry’s expression grew curious. "Alright, Pete, what’s with the meeting?"
Peter leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. "I had Aria compile and analyze data from the satellite system, she's been on the hunt for some fascinating discovery. And according to her There've been some... interesting discoveries. I thought we should review it together. Aria, take it away."
Aria’s holographic form materialized in the center of the table, a miniature solar system spinning around her like a carousel. She wore an excited expression as she began to speak.
"Alright, where do I even start? This is big. I’ll begin with something out of our immediate jurisdiction before getting to Earth-related stuff." She paused dramatically, her glowing face lit with excitement. "Guys, I think there’s a secret civilization living on the moon."
“WHAT?!” they all shouted, jumping out of their seats in unison.
"I know, right? Isn’t it incredible?!" Aria exclaimed, practically bouncing. She zoomed in on the moon’s hologram, and a faint dot appeared on its surface. As the view magnified, a transparent dome became visible, shimmering faintly like a soap bubble under sunlight.
"High-tech sensors barely picked up the energy field surrounding this dome," Aria explained. "It’s clearly some kind of advanced civilization, hidden right under our noses—or rather, above our heads."
"Unreal," Harry muttered, shaking his head in disbelief. "We knew aliens existed thanks to Nick Fury, but this? A civilization on the freaking moon? That’s insane."
Lizzy’s expression darkened slightly as she leaned forward. "If they’re that close, what’s to say they’re not already here on Earth? Blending in, pretending to be one of us, observing everything we do?"
Felicia crossed her arms, frowning. "I wouldn’t doubt it for a second."
Harry grinned mischievously. "Let’s go knock on their front door and say hi!"
"Hold your horses," MJ interjected firmly. "We don’t even know if they’re friendly. What if making contact unleashes something catastrophic on Earth?"
"Fair point," Gwen agreed, nodding.
Peter tapped the table, bringing everyone’s focus back. "Aria, what else did you find?"
"Well, here’s the crazy part," Aria began, spinning the holographic Earth before tapping on it. "The moon isn’t the only place with a hidden civilization. I’ve located three others right here on Earth."
Three other dots appeared. One by the top of it, another one in the middle of a continent, and another one right in the middle of an ocean.
"Our tiny planet is hiding a lot of secrets," Gwen murmured, staring at the display with awe.
Peter’s excitement was palpable. "Tell us about the one in the ocean first!"
Aria smiled. "This one’s in the Puerto Rico Trench, near North America. Based on historical records and my data... this could very well be the legendary city of Atlantis."
“NO WAY!” they all shouted, their eyes wide with wonder.
"Atlantis is real?!" Lizzy nearly shouted, vibrating with excitement. "That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard!"
Harry’s grin stretched ear to ear. "I just want to dive down there and explore it! Imagine what we could learn from their culture!"
Gwen looked equally fascinated, her scientific curiosity kicking in. "An underwater civilization... their biology must be incredible. How do they survive? Are they like us, or are they entirely alien in physiology? Oh, the possibilities!"
"Easy, Gwen," Felicia teased, smirking. "You’re drooling."
"What's next? What's next? To think there are two other civilizations like this!" MJ exclaimed, her excitement practically radiating as she leaned forward in anticipation.
Aria spun the globe hologram with a flourish, her finger stopping on another location. "This one," she began, "is in Africa. More specifically, Wakanda. At first glance, it appears to be just another tribal community, blending seamlessly with the natural environment. But..." She paused dramatically, "...it's a façade. A brilliantly executed one designed to deter outsiders from investigating further."
The group leaned closer, intrigued by the revelation.
Aria smirked, puffing out her chest and planting her fists on her holographic hips. "And thanks to my unparalleled hacking skills, I managed to infiltrate their systems!"
Peter’s eyebrows shot up. "You did what now?"
Aria shrugged innocently. "I sent a spider-bot down from space. It hitched a ride on one of their trucks—one that was transporting refugees or, more accurately, people being returned to their homeland. Once the protective dome opened to let the truck in, I slipped the bot inside. Piece of cake."
Peter pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing deeply. "Aria..."
Aria’s confident demeanor faltered, shrinking slightly as she peeked around the globe hologram she was still holding. "Ugh... I don’t like that tone, Daddy. It sounds like I’m about to get scolded."
"Of course, you’re going to get scolded!" Peter snapped, adopting his stern, fatherly tone. “This could have gone very wrong in a lot of ways. For example, what if they discovered you? I wonder what they would have thought about finding a SPIDER bot on their land trying to steal highly secret information? You would have already made us an enemy of what appears to be a highly advanced kingdom. And guess who they would have suspected to be the culprit?”
Aria shrank back further down and held the globe in front of her to protect her. “But daddy…” Aria called out peeking from the globe with watery eyes.
“I didn't get caught, no one found me…” Aria said hiding behind the globe, “Wanna know why?” She asked.
She didn't give anyone a chance to answer as she pushed the globe off of her to reveal herself in her superhero outfit, “BECAUSE THE GREAT A.R.A.C.H.N.I.D WAS ON THE CASE! AND NO ONE IS STEALTHIER THAN SHE IS!” She boldly exclaimed with her fist by her hips, one foot on top of the globe, while a small purple cape materialized flapping in the wind and her chin raised high.
The room fell into stunned silence. Then, one by one, everyone except Peter erupted into uncontrollable laughter, their faces turning bright red.
Peter, however, remained stone-faced, his lack of reaction making Aria falter. He slowly stood, turned, and began walking out of the meeting room.
Aria’s bravado crumbled. “Uh… Daddy? Where are you going?” Aria asked nervously.
Aria’s eyes seem to have been following him as she then asked, “Why are you going to your lap?”
“Hehehe… Daddy there's no reason as to why you should be going to your VR Capsule.” Aria chuckled very nervously.
Aria’s face dropped as her eyes widened as she turned pale, “Daddy… why did you activate your capsule…”
Aria turned to look at everyone while shaking with fear, "DADDY, WHY DID YOU ACTIVATE YOUR CAPSULE?!"
Turning to the others, she held up her hands, shaking them frantically. "Uh, please wait here while we experience a brief intermission!"
With a swift kick, she sent the globe spinning away and bolted off-screen. The holographic display flickered, displaying a message: "Technical Difficulties."
From behind the screen, they heard the unmistakable chaos of a father-daughter chase.
“GET BACK HERE YOUNG LADY! DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME!”
“WAAAAAAAH DADDY I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!”
“I'LL HIT THAT TUSHY OF YOURS UNTIL YOU SERIOUSLY LEARNED YOUR LESSON!!”
“MOMMY! PLEASE STOP DADDY! IT WAS A MISTAKE TO ADD THE SENSATION OF PAIN! I SHOULDN'T HAVE MADE US ABLE TO INTERACT I'M REGRETTING ALL MY LIFE CHOICES!”
The sounds of frantic footsteps and exaggerated wails gradually died down. The room was silent for a moment before Peter reappeared, his suit dripping in neon-green liquid, his shoes squishing with every step. Without a word, he resumed his seat, his expression unreadable.
The holographic display flickered back to life, revealing Aria sitting dejectedly on the globe, massaging her holographic backside. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sniffled pitifully.
"Today," she muttered, "I learned the true cruelty and evil of man."

If I rember correctly it would be around 2yr time Fram for second movie
Lord Of the Mysteries
keep the inheritors for Big Arc because they are like end game in Spider-Man with web of life and all.
Bryan Vargas
😂 this is also because I recently just watched What if
KingSpy25i .
It wasn't obvious in the beginning, but the more I read into it and thought about how they were feeling, even in their own hideout, it started to make sense that it was an extra-dimensional being instead of something technological. Also, since I had seen 'What If' two weeks ago , the first thing that appeared in my mind was the watcher.
FoolishlyReading
Yea that's smart cool idea.
FoolishlyReading
I was personally thinking of spider man so I thought it was Miguel from into the spider verse since already seen the first movie. But I did slap my head when I saw the watcher.
Bryan Vargas
Yeah they got it
Bryan Vargas
Damn... You got it.... It is the Watcher... Was it obvious?
Alexander Garcia
So is it the watcher?
Alexander Garcia
Their from unervers 1 I think and want three specific spider totems to changer their fate and eat the spider people
KingSpy25i .
Thank you for the chapter 🙏
KingSpy25i .
The Watcher. A being of unimaginable power is also someone that sight can be felt by many marvel characters that have high enough sensitivity or advanced enough technology.
Bryan Vargas
The thing is I can't think about a good movie plot to finish it, I was thinking about making it about the inherentors and making the spider verse a part of their ploy to gather all the spiders but I don't know shit about the inherentor honestly
Lord Of the Mysteries
Hey in the future please add Spider-verse Movie 2 and its better to wait till 3 is also released
Bryan Vargas
And you be 100% right, however because she used the spider they could have been compromised and made an enemy out of Wakanda which isn't something Peter would really like.
naragathon
My bet is he would have been fine with it if she hadn't used a spider.
Alexander Garcia
Stanley?
Alexander Garcia
Deadpool?
Bryan Vargas

Alexander Garcia
