Chapter 70 - 70. The reach of cruelty.

Miles 1610 POV:

My friends were beside a seated middle aged man and in front of the middle aged man was a tactical display in which a percentage meter was climbing. Rose entered with mom from this universe and when she saw two of us she tried to shove a hidden blade between Rose's eyes. " No!!!" I yelled but it was too late as her arm holding the blade was broken and I couldn't even follow Rose's movements. Mom let out a gut wrenching scream.

" You tarnish your late husband's memory with your actions." Came the man in the seat's voice. "Don't pretend to know what we have gone through!!!!" Yelled mom. "I don't have to pretend. I know and I simply care very little." Replied the man coldly. I noticed Gwen and a bunch of other Spider people but they weren't moving. I know that look. The look of defeat. "Ugh..." Groaned my counterpart as he stirred awake. His eyes suddenly shot open and he jumped up, hands raised in a clawed position, an instinct from his time as Prowler.

Suddenly a portal opened and from within it came out my parents accompanied by a red haired kid and then another portal opened and from it came out a buff dude in gaudy military attire and Jessica was slung over his shoulder, her face swollen. The spider gang was horrified as Jessica was one of the most skilled spiders in the society.

Gwen ran forward and yelled, " What did you do to her?" " Nothing. Just punched her in the face to knock her out." Says the military one. "Send her to the medbay. Security level: Alpha." Orders the man who now I recognize as Jonathan Long. Military boy nods and takes her away. " His name is Brad." Says Mr. Long causing me to be startled. "You all will have a heartfelt conversation with each other's and oh here you can have your deceased loved ones back." Says Mr. Long as he makes a sweeping motion causing a Peter and a bunch of Uncle Bens to materialize. Every Spider in the room gasps as those are the loved ones they lost.

Gwen runs and hugs Peter who was dazed from the ressurection. She was hugging Peter and crying at the nook of his neck. " I'm so sorry for dropping the concrete slab on you." Sobbed Gwen. " It's alright, Gwen. I never resented you." Said Peter. Same scenes were playing out around the Spider gang. A scene truly heartfelt if there wasn't a god with unknown intentions sitting in front of us.

"I'm not a god. I'm beyond divinity. I'm the primogenitor of all real and unreal creation. I am Circumdans Omnia." Ringed Mr. Long's voice in my mind. "So, what now God dude?" I ask. "That is your call, Miles Morales." Replies Mr. Long. "Bring him back." Whispers Prowler Miles. "Why?" Asks Mr. Long.

"You took him from me!!!!" Yells Prowler Miles. "No. Your father was a great man but not significant enough for me to personally warrant his death. He simply died because it was his fate to die while protecting you. If anyone is to blame it's your weakness." Said Mr. Long, cold as ice.

Prowler Miles yelled and jumped towards him and he moved. Not inhumanely fast but precise and brutal like a trained killer. One punch to the jugular and a palm strike to his stomach. "Mercy is something that is very limited within my psyche. So, do not test my patience boy." Mr. Long's voice was barely above a whisper but the threat was very real.

A wave of his hand and all of us were in a room with plain furniture and minimalist decorations.
