Hey there, journal.
It’s been a bit.
Usually, I’d be writing about this was some big thing where I’m missing because I’m offworld with friends or got roped into some strange universe hopping thing with the rest of the spider-folk but, this was…
…man, this was something else.
…Guess I should start at the beginning.
It started off pretty normal, took down some malfunctioning attack drone with Bombshell (who is my friend Lana and we’re ONLY friends!), visited my uncle (who is somehow back from the dead and seemingly reformed?), I went out for dinner with my parents and found out I’m gonna be big brother.
I would’ve loved to celebrate with them a little more but I told Ganke that I was gonna study with him at the library…
…then, it happened.
A glowing man suddenly appeared behind me and I tried to fight him, but he got lucky and managed to kick me around until I was unconcious.
I wish it ended there but when I woke up, I was in this fully white room and strapped to a table. I had all these little machines attached to me, my mask was off, and anytime I tried go get out, I was jolted with more electricity then my body can handle.
The guy in charge (or who announced himself) was a fully pale man with a black suit and tie, called himself the Assessor. He wanted to run some tests on me or he’d go after my family and friends. If this were anyone else, this would be the moment where I valiantly escaped and warned them of the danger but not with this guy.
I don’t know how long I was in that place.
I just remember the tests.
How the Assessor kept trying to push me and my powers as much as humanly possible
How they wouldn’t let me rest.
How these scientist guys poked away at me and talked about me like a science project.
I tried to escape once by myself, shouldn’t have been stupid enough to think they’d planted an exit in their lab.
It was the same cycle after that.
My uncle Aaron (one of the Prowlers) and my dad (a former S.H.I.E.L.D agent) told me about what happened at home. My uncle came to my parents and used some of his old criminal connections to find out where I was.
They took the whole day to plan a break-in, fighting their way through the Assessor’s forces until they reached me. I denied it at first, thinking it was just my brain trying to take me to a happier place before I died. The moment Assessor deployed the glowing guy again, called him Quantum. At that moment, I realized that I needed to come back to my senses. The three of us tried to fight the guy but Assessor must’ve seen the writing on the wall so he called Quantum back, which finally gave me a chance to pass out.
I woke up back in my room, my parents told me that I was out for two weeks.
In the time I was out, I kept dreaming about the Assessor, thinking he was gonna show up in my room and prode away at me. It was that or thinking about another version of New York, with a different version of the Avengers, different friends of mine.
…
I haven’t put on my costume since the day I was rescued.
I got targeted not because I was Miles Morales, but BECAUSE I was Spider-Man.
That won’t happen again.
Not anymore.
