I was laying on my messy ass bed thinking about what to do with my time(not clean) when I heard some footsteps walk past my door.
"Mom what's the Hulu Password?" I quickly asked before she made her way and turtled up into her room.
"Um, I don't know I think Groovychannels69, with a Capital G."
"Wait mom don't go I need to make sure" I heard her sigh as I quickly started putting the letters into my Ps4.
"It didn't work! Can you remember what it was?"
"Miles, I'm too tired right now if that wasn't it that then I don't know, good night. Love you" I followed her steps in my mind until I heard her door close and fell back into my bed with a sigh.
"Night mom.. I love you too" those were the last words I exchanged with my mom.
My phone started buzzing and I reached over to see who was sending a message at 2 in the morning
"Man what the heck mom I thought you went to sleep?"
'I'm stuck at campaign HQ.' the text read, "Huh? "
'Can you pick up groceries for dinner? I'll send a list.'
"woah, woah this is all wrong"
My heart dropped to my gut and this sinking feeling got my next words trapped in my throat. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Even though I was just at home laying on my bed I realized I wasn't home anymore, I wasn't even laying down. I was fully dressed walking out of 125th street train station. Without thinking my hand texted back 'Sure thing Ma'.
Coming out of the station a thought popped into my head, no. A memory of what I was doing, 'heading to Teo's Bodega.' I mindlessly crossed the street and stopped in front of a booth with "RIO MORALES" campaign signs everywhere.
One of the workers passing out flyers waved towards me so I nervously waved back before walking away a little faster. I felt like I was kind of moving on autopilot and felt a sense of disconnection from my body.
I watched myself help a mover lift a couch into a moving van and even exchanged a few words in Spanish with each other, none of that was by my own control I just did it on autopilot!
As I kept walking I didn't get far before stopping in front of a street painter creating a giant mural of Spiderman with the help of a girl in a green jacket and a white and black scarf.
"Wait wait WAIT a gahdamn minute, time out, time out, PAUSE" and just as I said that, the world around me froze.
The busy New York streets, the busy New York people, and my busy buzzing brain. All of these things stopped as if they where broken or frozen in time.
The only thing moving was the glow of a blue and white arrow. And a large map of Manhattan New York that appeared right before my eyes.
.....
"I can't believe I'm really doing this" I said out loud
"Hey Miles, I hope you're not getting cold feet at this point. If I mess everything up I'll need you to cover for me."
Right next to me is THE SPIDERMAN Peter Parker himself, and I'm not Miles Murphy any more.
Now I am THE Miles Morales and i'm inside of the video game, holy shit man.
And not just that, Im playing as my level 30 fully equipped and prepared character with all of my skills AND a save menu.
That includes mission objective markers, a full mental map of freaking Manhattan, Skills, and access to all unlocked suits, and I've for sure unlocked all the suits. That's how I'm able to spend all this time thinking without worry.
I don't know if anybody else can hear my thoughts considering I've been Isekai'd, but as a novel reader I plan to be on my best behavior so whatever god transferred me here doesn't simply change his mind. (That's me the Author)
The buzz of a heli-carrier sounded past us and I turned to Peter who just threw out his coffee. Without even looking he webbed the drink into the trash and webbed slinged onto a nearby building.
"Ok, It's go time"
Quickly following his lead I dove(flailed) off the building by his side and front flipped in the air taking in the pure adrenaline as the wind blew by, I instinctively know everything I need to do.
I even have the memories of the original Miles Morales! Wait, does that mean i'll have his remnant emotions or something later? Food for thought.
"Woah, Pete they aren't messing around here."
"Of course not, hundreds of felons escaped from the Raft last year. Now it's time to move em back in. Police aren't taking any chances, especially not with our guest of honor."
Not to be a fanboy or anything, which I am.
But I'm Web Swinging along Spiderman and just called him 'Pete', and he didn't think anything of it! Oh man oh man I'm totally geeking right now.
But "guest of honor" huh. The Rhino is pretty infamous, so I guess these are the only type of parades he gets invited to.
"Look at the size of that container man, It's definitely the Rhino, how many time have you had to fight that guy?"
"Way more times than my ribs would have liked, it's almost romantic how much history we have, And now we have a problem."
As Spiderman spoke those words one of the four Suspension Cables holding the Rhinos container began to give out.
In the game Miles in his overexcitement unbalanced the cage while attempting to secure the cable. Im just going to hang back and let spider man take care of it.
Although I'm pretty sure with my current powers I could handle it, no point in making a mess when Peter's here.
"Uh, Pete?"
"Don't worry I'm on it."
He swiftly flung himself forward and reconnected the cable with a few web shots from mid air and smoothly flipped into his next swing. Cool.
Until the cable behind that one started to snap as well, that's not good. The cage started rumbling and banging and the third and fourth one began disconnecting as well.
Who made these trash ass cables man? They don't make Rhino proof equipment like they used to.
"Don't worry, it's all under control."
Pete said while securing the remaining cables flawlessly, oh man this guy is good.
"Great save Spiderman it looks like smooth sailing going forward."
First Video game crisis averted, or so I thought.
Right as I finished that sentence the two front cables snapped and the box start started hanging, and not just that! the cables got stuck in the engines and the helicarrier began to crash! WTF man I though we were good.
Peter and I both responded immediately to web the crashing copter, but the damage was already done, Rhinos cage was loose and crashed into the prison convoys in the street.
"Miles one thing to keep in mind, its not over until it's over, looks like we're on clean up duty."
