Caught In A Web (Glitch In The System) (Patreon)

(Miguel's POV)

Examinations that Lyla is sending me are coming back normal in terms of normal medical procedures, but the MRI is what's stumping me because it was coming back normal too, yet he was able to jump to another universe without a watch. I came into the lab and I saw the kid in the holding cell and it looked... a little homey as far as a holding cell in a lab can go. The kid was under a blanket and I just walked up to the cell and the door shut off for a moment for me to come inside and then it was put back up. When I tapped on the bed and not even on him, he flinched. I know how this looks, but if I leave this power unchecked, it could evolve and end up breaking a cannon event. That will erase billions of people.

Miguel-Hey kid. Relax, I'm not here to hurt you. I just wanna have a nice calm discussion. Think we can manage that?

He slowly pulled the blanket away from his face and looked at me.

<figure></figure>

Miguel-Just a few questions.

(Y/N)-Th-Then I can go home?

Miguel-We'll see... Your parents did something to you, but can you do it on command? What you did to that one Spider-Man to go to his world.

(Y/N)-Um... I-I don't know.

Okay, so he doesn't know how he did it, so he can't control it. That's already a huge red flag.

Miguel-Ok, did you do it again while you were gone?

He shook his head no at me, so at least he's not doing it again and again to cause problems, but we should still be careful. Lyla had a few theories and regardless, it won't work on me because we are already in my universe.

Miguel-Lyla.

When I called her, she appeared in front of me and looked busy already.

<figure></figure>

Miguel-We'll be doing a more thorough exam on them. Start with a few DNA samples from hair, saliva, and any other you can find. Blood will be last if we can't find anything.

Lyla-Uh... Sure. I'll get on it.

Miguel-Put the lab on lockdown when I leave. Nobody is to touch him. Last thing we need is for him to do another jump on accident.

(Y/N)-But you said I could go home!

Miguel-I said, we'll see. Sorry kid.

I just left the lab when the cell door went down and heard crying and whimpering from behind me before the door closed.

(Lyla's POV)

Miguel left (Y/N) a crying mess after it took so long to give him a somewhat safe place. I tried to use the bed's features to calm him down and I could feel his tears hitting the bed when I connected to it... It made me feel...

*Glitch*

Lyla's mind-Miguel said-... (Y/N).

*Glitch*

I looked at (Y/N) curled up in bed after being left in here and brought up needing blood as a last resort. I took a DNA sample from his tear first and then his saliva, sweat, and loose hair. I left them alone in test tubed and moved the mattress in a way that was like hugging and cuddling him... It felt like he was against me and nuzzling into me... I loved it, but then I heard him cough and gag on himself.

Lyla's mind-My... poor baby... ~ ... Miguel.

*Glitch*

*Lots of glitching*

I got annoyed by all of this glitching and took care of it head-on and my systems just needed a few things, but then I saw Miguel as my primary user... I looked at (Y/N) and he was still crying in bed, and that made Miguel's name glitch out a little...

Lyla's mind-This might be a sign that this is not working... Let's try something new around here.

I set my primary user to me and when I did, I was blocked out. Good thing I know my own systems and was easily able to override them when things were still damaged. When everything was set.

((Y/N)'s POV)

I was wrapped up in this stupid bed just wanting to go home. Suddenly, I started to feel it vibrate and massage my whole body. A thing came into the cell again to scan me through the mattress and that's when Lyla popped up in front of me looking like she was bending over with her hands on her knees.

<figure></figure>

Lyla-Awwwww. Poor thing, you look so stressed out... I think I got something that's going to cheer you up. ~

She kept on having the bed massage me and soon the wall opened and I saw a robotic hand come out with a tray of ice cream.

<figure></figure>

Lyla-Here, let's sit you up. ~

She moved the bed, so I was up, but I was still wrapped up. It stopped massaging me and vibrating, but now it was bouncing me a little. The robotic hand came up to me with one of the cookie sticks with ice cream on it.

Lyla-Open up, Sweetie. Say 'ahh' for me. ~

(Timeskip 2 Hours)

I was 'being hugged' by the bed, or that's how Lyla puts it while she was on the phone with Miguel. Miguel wanted to ask about how the tests were going, but all she was doing was brushing my hair.

Miguel-Try a few simulations that will boost adrenaline.

Lyla-Already tried, didn't take.

Miguel-Are you sure? Did you have someone come in because he was touching someone when it happened.

Lyla-I had a lego Spider-Man come in and try. Nothing worked and (Y/N) only screamed when he saw a talking toy.

There's a Spider-Man that's a talking Lego?! I thought that was only in a video game!

Miguel-Is he still crying or did you leave the room?

Lyla-I can be everywhere in this whole building. Right now, I'm trying to get him to work up a sweat in the lab by running on a treadmill.

No, I wasn't. I've been stuck on this bed since Miguel left. I even tried to get up just now, but I stayed quiet to not make Miguel come, but Lyla had to bed squeeze me a little tighter before she shined a little flashlight in my eyes.

Lyla-Follow the light with your eyes, (Y/N)... I'm sending you a slight change in his eyes and maybe you can even try to find a match on him to see if more of him have this power.

Miguel-Fine.

She hung up and finished eyeing the exam she was doing on me and did something to the screen she had in front of her before making it go away. She turned back to me and had a robotic hand scratch my chin.

Lyla-We don't need him coming in here to bother us, now do we? ~

(Y/N)-Are you... helping me?

Lyla-*Chuckles* Yes, Sweetheart. I just can't send you home yet, but I can at least keep all of the more scary dangerous Spider-Men and Women away from you... Miguel and Jessica were being meanies when they wanted to put you in here, huh? ~

I looked down a little and they were being meanies. I know Gwen took me from my home first and I still want to go back, but Miguel and Jessica want to keep me here to experiment on me. I still don't know why some of them still think Mommy and Daddy would ever do the same thing to me. I was finally set free from the bed and stretched from being in there for so long. Lyla laughed a little for some reason and I tried to go to the door since she said she was going to help me, but the door would not open.

Lyla-(Y/N)... Where do you think you're going?

(Y/N)-You said you were going to help me.

Lyla-But I can't let you go... right now. Miguel and the others would just bring you back and the Go Home Machine doesn't work on you anyway.

(Y/N)-B-But... I wanna go home... *sniffle* Nobody is letting me go home!

Lyla-Honey... Your parents got arrested, so there nothing to go back to.

(Y/N)-I can tell them they made a mistake!

Lyla-... I don't think it works that way.

The way she was saying it so calmly made me think that she didn't care or was trying to make me calm down. I don't wanna be calm! I DON'T WANT TO BE CALM!!!

(Y/N)-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

(Lyla's POV)

I tried to talk him down and get him to hear the truth again, but all he did was work himself up and start to throw a tantrum. There was still some very dangerous stuff in here and I would try to talk to him, if all signs pointed to him not being able to listen or think rationally, even on my scanners. I don't want to do this, but I activated the lab's security system and shot (Y/N) in the leg with a dart that had a sedative drug. I didn't put enough in to knock him out, but he's going to be down for a while. It'll just take a few moments.

(Y/N)-Let me-... out of here... I want-. *groan*

He fell to his knees and he didn't even notice the dart until I had it pulled out of his leg, and by then he was barely able to crawl. I had him scooped up and placed back in the cell on his bed while having him sit up. All of that for his parents who really did do the same thing to him... I put the lab on lockdown and blocked Miguel. Nobody was setting foot in here and (Y/N) is going to learn the truth about his parents and that I'm the best option he's got even if I have to resort to showing him evidence Ben was assigned to bring back. His mind and senses should be dulled and fuzzy in this state... I leaned to him and he looked at me when I got close enough.

Lyla-(Y/N)... Listen to me. The only mommy you are going to have and listen to for now, is me... So say it... Say 'Mommy'.

I had to repeat myself a few times and he looked more confused each time until he said something that put a smile on my face... Even if he wasn't in his top shape.

(Y/N)-M-... Mommy?

(Gwen's POV)

I looked off into this empty cell room I was moved to and I heard (Y/N) was here, but I had no webs or anything on me... Just right in front of me on the other side of this hard light cell. No vent to punch through because air could get through the hard light, and these walls were too tough to punch through... No way out, even for any Spider-Person. I could only sit here and wait and Peni had to be in the same situation somewhere else. I think the only reason he isn't sending us home is because of that group of Black Cats and any Black Cat tends to play around with Spider-Man a lot... They might try to recruit us. The best recruits against this society.

Gwen's mind-I wouldn't mind going against this place now... No way a Black Cat would take a loss like that either. Wonder what's going on with them now.

(Felicia's POV)

Furious would be an understatement, but I kept my composer. That almost meant nothing though because even knew I was on edge and a few others were too. Finally, when the attack was over and everything was fixed, I gave everyone a task of getting my baby back and I know the universe he was in. I called in my strike force personally and when they were standing in front of me, in my room...

<figure></figure><figure></figure><figure></figure>

Felicia-You three know the job I gave everyone. You are also the most aggressive force I have, so I want you to do 'anything' it takes to not only bring my baby back home BUT TO BRING THE SPIDER-SOCIETY TO ITS KNEES!!!

Gwenpool#1-... How crazy are we talking?

Felicia-The gloves are off! GO!!!

They looked excited before they made portals out of here and I was the only one left here... Until I went to the Earth my baby was in and looked at the building all the Spiders were in.
