Hey there, it's Gumbo. This chapter officially concludes part one of this fan fiction, and I wanted to thank everyone who read, voted, and commented on this story. I wasn't planning on writing this much as I wasn't receiving much feedback at first, but now the story is nearing two thousand reads! I will take a hiatus after this chapter so I can fix my schedule and catch up on writing, but expect more books in the future!

"So, you're saying you managed to do all that in just a span of a few minutes? Running from the Inheritors isn't that easy." Gwen laughed as they sat in a booth.

"Like Einstein said, time is relative." Miles replied.

"Speaking of time being relative, all of this with the Inheritors... it all happened so quickly." Gwen said as she stirred her water with a straw. "In just a few days, we managed to stop a crazy family from destroying everything."

"Those were the longest few days of my life." Miles responded as he folded a napkin repeatedly before unfolding it. "So, what are your plans now? Back to fighting crime back in your universe?"

"I guess everything will go back to normal... sort of." Gwen said as she took a sip of her water. "What about you?"

"I don't know yet. I guess I'll try to go back to normal also, with school and everything." Miles responded. "It'll be weird since my parents don't know about, you know. But I'll make it work."

"That's good to know. Think you'll have any free time? Peter's going to be throwing a party later this week. He and MJ are officially back together!" Gwen said, smiling.

"That's great! Yeah, I'm sure I'll be able to come." Miles said, as a waiter walked over to their booth.

"Good afternoon, may I take your order?" The waiter asked as Gwen and Miles picked up their menus.

"I'll have a chees-" Miles began before Gwen cut him off.

"Two milkshakes and a One-For-Two burger please." Gwen said as the waiter nodded, writing the order down on a notepad before walking away.

"Glad they changed the name of the burger." Miles said with a grin. "Coupling burger always sounded a little corny."

"You have my vote on that one." Gwen said before she suddenly looked out the window. "You sense that?"

"Yeah. Let's get going." Miles said as he stood up, Gwen following him. "Excuse me, we'll actually take our order to go!"

"I got the right and you got the left?" Gwen asked as she pulled her mask down, looking at the group of robbers who were yelling at the bank accountants.

"Sounds good." Miles responded as he hopped off the roof, landing in front of the entrance. "Hey, excuse me. Do you know where the Moondance Diner is?"

"One Above All, how much time do you suppose is left?" The Great Weaver asked as the Celestial stood in front of them.

"Not much. The two realities are approaching each other at an alarming rate." The One Above All replied as he looked at two orbs, one blue and the other orange.

"So we just wait?" The Grand Weaver asked.

"That's what he is implying." The Superior Weaver responded.

"To intervene with this collision is to intervene with fate. You know the consequences of doing so." The One Above All said as the orbs grew larger to form scenes: Gwen and Miles fighting robbers at the bank, Peter B. with MJ at a diner, and Noir, Peni, and Porker having a hot dog eating contest. "All of this would cease to exist, in both multiverses."

"Then why put them through this torture? Believing they can change time and fate when it is really unchangeable?" The Grand Weaver countered.

"Because time is changeable." The One Above All replied as he looked at another floating orb, which showed Earth-001. "As we are seeing right now."

Location: Sims Tower, Earth-001

"How are you feeling brother?" Daemos asked as he watched Morlun, who looked at his palm.

"The radiation is making us no stronger than the average human." Morlun replied as he clenched his fist. "We must find a way to escape."

"Escape? How?" Verna responded. "We'll be lucky enough to last a few seconds in the radiation out there. Face it, brother, we've lost."

"I refuse to believe that!" Morlun growled as he stood up. "There is still hope!"

"He is right." A voice said from the shadows as the Inheritors paused, looking around.

"Who are you?" Morlun called as he looked around. "Show yourself!"

"How polite of you. Considering the position you're in, I would be more cautious of the way I talk to someone who could get you out of here." The man said as he approached the Inheritors.

"I know you." Morlun growled, glaring at the large man in a suit.

"I believe we've met before. Wilson Fisk, but you can call me Kingpin. We have some unfinished business, and I hope you'd be interested." Fisk said as his cane hit the ground with a light tap.

"What do you have to offer?" Morlun said as he stood up, a smile on his face with newfound determination. As he said earlier, this was only the beginning of the end.
