"Miles my guy!" Hobie jumped on the young boy, his color scheme changing to different pinks as he dragged Nia along with him to smother Miles.
All the spiders joined together and looked around the city as the people around them cheered for them, some even throwing confetis into the skies.
"Guys? What's that?" the Indian boy's head turned as the hole in the bridge started to glitch, a black hole appearing beneath them all.
"It's a metaphor for capitalism" Hobie said as he poked his head further out to see the hole that was spreading, getting a shoulder nudge from the girl next to him.
Hobie brushed his hand against the back of Nia's hand which was down besides him until she sighed, rolled her eyes and grabbed onto it making him smile. There was a light coming from above them and they all looked up as a portal opened and some sort of mechanical spider came down on them, opening its eight legs and letting out a group of Spider-Man's with one very pregnant lady leading them.

"...and let's contain the quantum hole. Hello Nia" Jessica greeted the younger female.
"Hey, I'm Miles" Miles presented himself to the woman with an outstretched hand of hello "We actually met before. When I was invisible"
"I know who you are" the woman said, ignoring Miles and walking past him to survey the quantum hole.
"Is...everything going to be okay?" Pavitr asked shakily.
The spider group jumped down to the hole and begun placing some things to stabilise the hole and Gwen turned around to the older black woman trying to explain to her the situation.
"Let me...let me explain..." Gwen tried.
"Miguel wants you back at HQ" Jessica said.
"Miles was just about to head out, for..." Gwen continued.
"All of you" Jessica continued.
"I don't follow orders" Hobie slumped over the younger boy "And neither does he"
"Hove I don't provoque her" Nia pinched the skin between her eyebrows as the young man turned pink.
"I'm invited to HQ?" Miles said in excitement "Whooo!"
Hobie sighed while slumping down and turning grey making Nia sigh and rub her hand up his arm and giving him a hesitant kiss to the cheek of his mask, cheering him up a bit. And like so, they were all going back through a portal hole.
Gwen looked rather amused as they went through the portal and Nia began turning upside down and panicking to hold onto Hobie who circled his arms around her and pulled her closer to himself.
As the elevator descended, the atmosphere was filled with a mix of excitement and tension. Gwen, still amused by Nia's panicked reaction to the portal, couldn't help but grin at the sight of her friend clinging onto Hobie. Nia's upside-down position seemed comical, but her fear was genuine. Hobie, on the other hand, remained calm and collected, wrapping his arms around Nia to provide comfort and stability.
Upon reaching the elevator platform, Hobie finally released his hold on Nia, and as he removed his mask, his true identity was revealed. A young black man with dreadlocks emerged, causing Miles to marvel at how all that hair had been tucked away inside the small mask. The man's appearance exuded an undeniable coolness, with piercings adorning his brow, nose, and various spots on his ear.
Miles, unable to contain his curiosity, blurted out his admiration, his eyes widening behind his spider mask. He was genuinely impressed by this newfound coolness, which seemed to effortlessly emanate from Hobie.
In response, the enigmatic young man simply shrugged, his nonchalant demeanor intact.
"I was just always this cool" he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of confidence.
Nia, who couldn't resist teasing Hobie, muttered under her breath, her playful punch landing on his shoulder. She referred to him as a "cocky English" a remark that only earned her a smile from the spider-themed hero. In fact, his reaction was to draw her even closer to his side, causing a faint blush to creep onto Nia's cheeks.
"Dang" Morales said softly as they hanged upside down on the elevator when they reached the window part of the elevator tunnel.
Gwen nudged the young boy and motioned her head for them to follow behind her. The doors on the other side of them opened in the form of a spider and the group exited the elevator shaft.
"Yo! This place is wild!" Miles said as he turned to take in everything.
"Has anybody spot Spot?"
A Spider-Man wearing a hijab approached Jessica who was checking her watch, Malala Windsor: Spider UK Earth-835. Nia shook her head with a smile as Jessica dismissed the presented spider person to make the dialogue disappear from in front of her.
"Hey there Nia!" the Spider-Woman shouted to her with a happy tone of voice.
Nia smiled to her as well, trying to get out from under Hobie's arms which was basically impossible as the male was hugging her tightly.
"Let go Hobs" she mumbled out to him.
"Just stay close love" Hobie said softly, smiling down at her.
Nia looked up at his smile, her eyes cantering on his lips but looking away as quickly as she could.
"Careful there Nia" Venom told her as he felt what she was feeling as well.
"Yeah I know Venom" she told him.
"...But I do approve of him so if you decide to procre..." Venom was interrupted by Nia as she hissed at him to stop, a much brighter blush speaking on her cheeks.
"So many" Miles muttered for them to hear.
"This is the lobby" Gwen told Morales boy "Welcome to Spider Society"
They came out of the so called lobby to be greeted by the sight of several walking panels crossing over each other across the space before them, many other spider people climbing up and down across them to swinging on them.
"You like the boy don't ya Hobie?" Nia asked him.
"Yeah he's a nice kid" Hobie muttered as they followed at the tail of the group.
"Just try not to have Miguel get angry at you" she warned him.
"But you'll keep me safe now won't ya love?" Hobie asked her.
Nia looked up at him while they walked through the cells of all the anomalies that were getting held there until they got sent home.
