Spider-Man: no way home

C 43

I start to head out to meet Ned.

I made sure to layer up, with a thick coat, gloves and a wooly hat.

It is freezing outside, plus it's snowing.

I love snow!

The thing is, it came out of nowhere.

I could have sworn it was sunny earlier.

My wound is almost fully healed.

It still hurts a bit,  if you apply pressure, but thankfully it is closing up.

It is to leave a scar.

At Least that's what  the doctor says.

My very first.

Part of me finds it exciting, the other part of me finds it unnerving.

Especially since I don't know the full story behind it.

I am sure I can think of something,  if anyone asked that is.

We are meeting up with MJ at her work.

Ned and I were in the mood for Coffee and Donuts.

So I am meeting them there.

Coffee for me and Donuts for him.

I wonder if there is ice-cream?

I'm craving Ice-cream.

I stop in my tracks, looking  up at the sky.

Watching the snow fall from above me,  holding out a hand.

I smile as I look around, as if expecting someone.

"Hey!"

I jump  as I turn to face Ned.

"Ned!"

I shove his shoulder, glaring at him.

"Sorry you were in your own world and I.... just couldn't resist."

I roll my eyes.

"Whatever, let's go! MJ should be off soon"

Ned nods as he leads inside.

I stay outside as I look back up at the sky.

I shake off the weird feeling before I go to head in.

I stumble almost tripping,  as a guy knocks into me.

He is quick to steady me, placing me back on my feet.

"Oh my  days, Gwen.  I am so Sorry'

"It's okay..."

I tilt my head as I look at him.

He looks familiar.

Then it clicks.

He called me Gwen.

"Wait,  how do you know my name?"

"Your name?"

"You just called me Gwen"

"Is that your name? Nice to uh, meet you Gwen"

I narrow my eyes, pointing a finger at him.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?"

"No. I don't think so..."

The boy looks at me, with a confused yet panicked expression.

"No. I do.I--I definitely do."

The boy looks down avoiding eye contact as I try to pinpoint where I knew him from.

I have seen him before.
