"Hey Chiaki, wake up!"
I woke up sleeping on a desk in a classroom, a classroom I didn't recognize. Looking around, I saw a bunch of teenagers that I didn't recognize. I started to panic, checking my pockets for my phone. I pulled out an older model of iPhone from my pocket. When I turned it on, I was greeted with an impossible date: June 26, 2010. No, that wasn't possible; it was January of 2028, wasn't it? How could I be 18 years in the past? God, I was just born 2 years ago if that was true. I was born on March 14th of 2008. I felt my shoulder getting shaken. I looked up to see a blond girl looking at me in concern.
"Chiaki, you okay? You have been out of it for a bit now." The blond girl asked me
"Um, who are you again?" I asked in as calm a voice as I could manage.
"Wow, you're really out of it, Chi. It's me, Gwen Stacy. You know, Police Officer's daughter, your partner for science class. Sure, we haven't talked much, but I think I would be remembered as your classmate in Midtown High School." Gwen
"Right um, Gewn, what's today's date?"
"June 26, 2010, it's our last day of school before summer vacation. When school starts up again, we will be seniors. Before too long will be looking at colleges or going into the workforce to become another cog in the machine that is American capitalism. Are you ok? Should I take you to the infirmary? You're looking awfully pale." Gwen
"No, no, I should be fine. I just need to go home."
"Well, at least let me drive you to your house. It's the least I can do." Gwen offered
"Okay, that would be nice. Thank you very much."
"Yo Chiaki, Gwen, what are you pair of fine ladies up to? Have any exciting plans for the summer?" A tall black man in a football jersey asked
"None of that, Lonnie Lincoln. I have Pearl's number, and I will tell her that you were trying to flirt with us. Anyways, I'm getting miss retro gamer here at home. She isn't doing too hot." Gwen
"Your folks must really like Spider-Man comics."
"Spider-Man?" Lonnie asked confused
"Spider-Man, you know Peter Parker, a kid gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains the powers of a spider. Becomes a friendly neighborhood web-swinging hero. Dates like three girls MJ, Gwen Stacy, and Felicia Hardy. Has a large, rough gallery, the likes of King Pin, Lonnie Lincoln Tombstone, Otto Octavius Doc Ock. The list goes on. Don't you guys have phones or isn't the computer lab still open? Just look up Marvel Comics Spider-Man."
"Huh I have actually babysat a kid named Peter Parker once. Smart kid. I'm not a cradle robber, Chi." Gwen
"Nope, nothing on this 'Spider-Man' you were talking about." Lonnie show us his Samsung Focus's screen "The only thing Marvel Comics ever produced wear comics on the war hero Captain America. Marvel later shut down when Steve Rogers went missing. Although, Tombstone sounds like a kick ass nickname. Well, gals, I'm off to find Pearl." Lonnie
"That's not right, Marvel has done lots of comics not just Captain America. Wear is X-Men, Ant-Man, Thor, Hulk, Daredevil, Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, Not so much as a Iron Man Tony Stark."
"Why bring up the billionaire Tony Stark. He has been missing for a little over half a year now. How is he supsosed to do anything with Captain America. He was born way after Marvel Comics was shut down." Gwen
*No, no, no.* I made a quick Google search for Tony Stark and found pictures of RDJ and reports of his activities as Tony Stark and his disappearance last year. Looking up RDJ no results. I tried looking up the Sherlock Holmes Movie instead of RDJ it was Matt Smith as Holmes. I didn't really know RDJ for any of his other older works. I was a kid growing up in the 2010s and 2020,s sorry I didn't look up his IMDB to see him in other movies. I found that I had followed Gwen to her car, a white Volkswagen Beetle. When I looked up from my phone, I finally saw that I was in the Big Apple NYC. I also spotted a famous building that wasn't in the real world, Stark Tower.
"Fuck I'm in Marvel."

[EA now you are in the game]
"Fuck you EA!!!"
"That was quite a scream of anger. You okay Chi?" Gwen
"What, what oh I'm just pissed at Electronic Arts."
"Sure, Sure… So sense I have you in here with me. What can you tell me about this quote-unquote unquote comic, Gwen Stacy?" Gwen asked driving out of the school parking lot
"Not to much. I only know of two versions of Gwen Stacy. Gwen Stacy dates Petter Parker in college. Gwen's dad, George Stacy, becomes captain of the police force of New York and dies tragically in a fight with the mutated overgrown Lizard that used to be Dr. Curt Connors. A couple of years later, Gwen Stacy is captured by a villain known as the Green Goblin and is thrown of the Washington state bridge. Spider-Man tries to save her by catching her with a web but that stops all the momentum, all that kinetic energy of the fall snaps Gwen's spine, killing her instantly. Spider-Man killed the love of his life by not having a plan of how to save her from that situation. He winged it, and Gwen paid for it."
"Did all of Spider-Man's love interests die on him?" Gwen asked
"Depends on the continuity and the writer. Spider-Man once killed MJ by giving her radiation poisoning via sex. But usually, only Gwen Stacy dies. I'm sorry if I'm being morbid."
"Okay, what is the other way the story can go for comic me?" Gwen
"Wel,l Gwen Stacy is bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter Parker. Gwen, inspired by her father, decides to become Spider-Gwen… Well, Ghost-Spider's secret identity and all. She was able to do her hero work in the spotlight until her senior prom night."
"What goes wrong?" Gwen asked
"Peter Parker. Peter was Gwen's best friend from childhood. In high school, Peter was bullied. Gwen did her best to stand up for Peter, but that only made Peter feel weak and unimportant. So Peter made something to make him special. He made the Lizard Serum and went to the prom to get his revenge on his bully. Spider-Gwen saved Peter's bully from the rampaging Lizard. The Lizard and Spider-Gwen fought and Spider-Gwen accidentally killed the Lizard. Only finding out afterward, she had just killed her best friend. Her father, George Stacy, found Ghost-Spider holding the corpse of Peter Parker. Ghost-Spider ran away and was braned as the killer of Peter Parker. Spider-Gwen kept to doing the good fight but she was no longer wanted by her world. During one of the nights she was on potroll she sucked into a diffrent dimension. She found herself in a world where Peter Parker was Spider-Man and had just been found dead at the hands of Kingpin. Gwen had to investigate what brought her to that world and find a way back home. In this world, she would meet the love of her life."
"Oh, and does this love interest have a name?" Gwen asked in a teasing tone
"His name was Miles Morales. He was a kid a year younger then Gwen from Brooklyn, who just so happened to get bit by a radioactive spider the night before that world's Peter Parker died. Peter gave Miles one job: to make Arasaka Tower burn."
"What?"
"I mean, destroy the Super Collider that was punching holes into other dimensions. Miles had to learn how to be his own Spider-Man with the help of Gwen and four other Spider-People."
"Okay, I'll bite. What were the other Spider-People like?" Gwen asked
"Peni Parker, a girl one year younger the Miles, who had her own Spider Mecha she was very anime. Spider-Man Noir a hard-boiled black and white PI type. Peter B Parker. A Spider-Man in his mid-30s who was spiraling and going no wear he just needed some help from Miles to get back on the right track for his life. And lastly, there was Spider-Ham…"
"Spider-Ham???" Gwen
"TLDR he was a spider that got bitten by a radioactive pig and was transformed into a cartoon pig with the powers of a spider and a pig. He also has access to Toon Force because his home world is basically Looney Toons. I refuse to go into any more detail. Anyways, Miles looses his uncle during a fight with Kingpin, finds his own way of being Spider-Man, and gets everyone home to their own worlds. Later, Miles and Gwen would be tossed into a new world to call their own. And that's roughly what I know about both versions of comic Gwen Stacy."
"Gwen either dies or loses almost everyone she loves. That is a sad outcome either way. So what are you planning on doing over summer break?" Gwen asked
"Getting a part-time job to pay the bills while working some side projects that should hopefully make me some income."
"I'm going to be interning with Dr.Carla at Oscorp." Gwen
"Be careful in there, I've never trusted Oscorp."
The rest of the trip passed in relative silence until we pulled up to a building. Building is being generous, it was a little more than a gray box with a roof and a door, no windows, just a front door and a mail box.
"Your new house still needs some work, I guess." Gwen
"I guess it will be a part of my summer vacation to renovate this place. Thanks, Gwen, for the ride."
"No probs, Chi, see ya." Gwen drove away
I looked through my pockets and found the key. I opened the door to find it was just a gray box on the inside, too. The only source of light was the open door.
[You have entered a property you own; you can now use Build and Buy mode on any property you own.]

[Open starter's gift package Y/N?]
The black screen with green letters appeared before me. I quickly took out my phone to take a picture of it, but it didn't show up on the camera. I decided to tap yes on the screen.

I saw the three objects fell out of the green screen. I pocketed the sonic screw driver and the digimon summon card. Then it was time to open the cash box prize. A roulette wheel with possible cash rewards appeared before me.

"It's oddly satisfying seeing my basic needs summarized like that. Well, I'll order Pizza and get to work remodeling with the build and buy mode. I'll try to make sure I have at least 10000 Simoleons left when I'm done."
Time stopped as I went into build mode. The green screen appeared in front of me, and I could get to work remodling my home. I started by separating the house into four rooms. Entryway/Living Room, Kitchen/Dining Room, Bathroom, and last was my Bedroom. Once I put down the flooring, wall decor, windows, and doors, I moved on to buy mode.
I started with the bathroom. Adding the toilet, bath/shower, and sink. Next was the kitchen. Fridge, counters, stove/oven, dishwasher, fire alarm, and the burglar alarm, and various appliances. I was shocked the Sims 3 didn't have a toaster as an appliance. I would have to buy one of those later. Along with a waffle maker. For the dining room half of the room I bought a glass see-through table that could sit up to six people and a bar. Mixology is one of the skills I would have to max out. I could just hide it in the family inventory when Sarah Walker showed up to visit me.
The bedroom was the next thing I needed to furnish. So I placed a Bed, a dresser, an end table with a digital clock, a bookshelf, and a desk with a high-spec computer for 2016 in 2010, it was still going to be slower than my rig I had in college back in 2028. I added a house plant and a mirror to the room for decoration. Last thing I picked up was a sleeping bag for cases, where someone needed to spend the night, or I needed it for some other reason.
The living room became a dumping ground for all the equipment I needed to train skills that wouldn't be overly messy or have a chance to shock me or set me on fire. So I placed the guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, painting easel, treadmill, and alchemist station. The workbench, sculpting trunstyle, chemistry set, training dummy, and other skill grinding equipment went on the backyard. I was still pretty flush with cash, so I decided to get a hot tub to go with the pool that I needed, if I was caught on fire by any of the outside equipment. The last two things I bought were a car and a bicycle. After all my shopping, I was down to §16682 from §113130. The Pizza costed me another §30. But it was nice way to cap off my frist day in the world of Marvel.
