Two Weeks Of Whump
Day 1th - Poker, Shock Collar, Ashes - @promptsforyourwhumpfic
TW mentions of burning
"We had a deal."
Ro told it to Braithe and Soren, explained to Digger and kept telling unstoppably to himself since the moment when Jene stayed with the Blue and he with books, saved by a miracle, returned to Brad.
No one blamed him out loud. Ro didn't knew if someone blamed him in their thoughts but he said these words again during a sortie with Braithe and Soren, when they saw a mark of a pole on the ground and ashes before it.
Ro sat on the ground, ran his fingers through the ashes. They, him and Jene, they knew what they were getting themselves into. Saving books was more important than saving themselves. But no matter who would have survived - Jene, him, or the books - in the end there is only ashes.
"We had a deal." Said Ro persistently.
Two Weeks of Whump Day 1: Ashes
Fandom: Across The Spider-Verse
Summary: Hobie Brown was about 15 at the time of his first canon event. Though he had been spiderman for a few months now.
Note: (I have not read his comics so this is just a fan thing. I don't think this is how it went down or anything all just for fun.)
Warning: Character Death.
Hobie walked down the street. The street lights reflected off of the water on the ground. It had recently rained and the air smelled nicer then it normally did.
Smoke rose from a nearby building. Hobie didn't intend to pay any attention to it. Then he saw what building it had been. His destination was on fire.
It was a gay bar. Though he wasn't old enough his buddy Peter worked there. He used to snuck him in. He never served him alcohol and Hobie never asked. He just liked to be around Peter and his community.
Hobie ran over to the back door that Peter used to sneak him in. A wave of heat hit him as he opened the door.
Ashes fell around him. They caught in his hair. He breathed them in and they landed on his clothes. The smoke was thick. Helping people out the back door became his job.
His lungs burned. Hobie ran over to the bar and looked around. Where was he? "Peter!" He yelled out. Jumping over the bar he stumbled upon landing.
There he was. "Hobie?" Peter questioned.
Rushing over Hobie grabbed his friend. "Yeah bud, I'm here."
Hobie picked Peter up and took him to the back door. Sirens ran through the air. Finally someone had arrived. Of course it took so long.
In the alley behind the bar Hobie set Peter in front of him on the ground. "You're gonna be alright." He grabbed Peter's hand.
"Keep fighting for them, okay." Peter eyed the burning building. "Fight for what you believe in." He went lip.
"No, no, no." Hobie pulled him close.
Ash fell around them like snow. It wouldn't be long before Hobie had to leave. A firefighter was about to turn the corner. He scaled the building and went home.
The world stopped moving and time slowed for a while. Hobie continued living his life. He fought for what he believed in like Peter said. For the longest time when he saw cigarette ashes or fire place ashes he had to distance himself.
The teen wasn't sure why the ashes stuck out the most. Sure he thought about that day when he smelled wood smoke or when he saw fire but ashes were the biggest trigger. Maybe it was the memory of scrubbing the ash off his skin and trying to get it out of his hair while he was practically manic. Maybe it was being the only person who was left for Peter's remains to go to.
The urn still sat on a shelf he took from Peters apartment. It wasn't fancy or anything just there.
As the world began to spin again fire stopped being something Hobie feared. Instead he would run straight into it.
He took what Peter said to heart and now as he stood in front of Miles Morales he knew what to do. Raising his hands, he attempted to remind him of what he had told him. 'use your palm not just your fingers.' and when Miles broke out he knew Peter would be proud.

Two Weeks of Whump Day 3: Alcohol
Fandom: Across the Spider-verse
Summary: After a difficult day as Spiderman, Miles gets a hold of alcohol. Not knowing how to cope he drinks some and ends up drunk.
Jefferson Morales thought that this Thursday night would be the same as any other. Boy was he wrong. As he walked back to his police car, ready to get back to the station so he could home to his wife and son, he noticed Spider-Man jumping from one building to another.
Trouble always seemed to follow Spider-Man wherever he went. He sighed and shook his head. As he started to turn back to his car the superhero stumbled and fell into an alley. Jefferson ran towards the alley to check on the hero.
It was dark, light falling in the alley from the moon and street lights. A figure raised from the ground and chuckled. "Spiderman, are you okay?"
"Oh!" Mile's head jerked to face the officer, "hiiii" he laughed.
'Okay?', Jefferson thought. He walked closer to Spider-Man. The smell of... alcohol? on him. "Are you alright? You took quite a fall."
"Ohhh yeah, I'm fineeeee. Don't worry about it." Miles slurred his speech and stumbled as he walked towards the building had jumped off of and tried to climb the wall.
"Are you drunk?" Mr. Morales asked concerned. For the first time he realized just how small and vulnerable he was. He also noticed that his voice sounded eerily similar to his sons.
"Pfft nooo" he sounded both unsure and strangely confident. "What gave you that idea?"
"Are you, over 21?" Now Jefferson started to question the hero in front of him. He always assumed that Spider-Man had to be of drinking age or at least an adult but something about the kid in front of him told him otherwise.
"Haha yeah" Miles stared at his father for a moment. He looked concerned and confused.
"Are you sure?"
He looked at his father and felt tears gather in his eyes. Maybe he should tell him the truth. No one knew who he was underneath the mask what harm to come from telling someone he trusted his problems. His father was stern but kind and a safe person.
"Sir" Miles voice broke, "I'm underaged. I'm a teenager."
Jefferson's heart broke. Something about the child in front of him told him this wasn't a dumb mistake with friends but an attempt to erase pain.
"It's just that being Spider-Man is hard and quite frankly traumatizing" he chuckled then it turned into a sob, "I've been so alone since my friends left. There's no one I can talk to and I thought for just a minute maybe it would help. Maybe I could forget everything, wash it down my throat and be a teenager for a minute. My parents are going to kill me if they find out."
"Oh."
"I'm scared, I can't balance school, my family, and saving the city without letting someone down and I'm pretty sure my parents think I'm just flaky or irresponsible. I don't want to disappoint them and I don't want to disappoint the city. I don't know what I'm doing and I got Peter Parker killed."
"Hey, it's okay. Breathe."
Miles slowly sat on the ground. Jefferson kneeled down beside him. "I know one thing, you're not disappointing the city."
"Good to know. Are you proud of me?"
The question took Jefferson off guard. Why would Spider-Man care if he was proud of him. "Of course."
This made Miles cry harder. Hearing his father say that he was proud was what he needed. He grabbed the man in his arms around him, scrunching the other shirt in his fist, and just cried.
After a while he let go and apologized. "It's okay. Next time don't go out drinking. I'll let this slide just this once. Go home, drink some water, and go to bed. Let us worry about the city for the night."
"Okay." Miles stood and walked towards the wall again.
"Spider-Man, maybe you should just walk."
"Your probably right." Miles walked into the sidewalk and started to walk home.
Jefferson walked back to his car. He radioed in that he was on his way back. On his way he thought about Spider-Man. He never thought he would see him like that. He was just a scared and alone little kid who didn't know how else to deal with the trauma of trying to protect an entire city. Not only that he was a student and a son.
He worried about his own son. Have they been too hard on him? Did he feel loved and appreciated? Did he think that they were disappointed or thought he was irresponsible?
Miles crawled into his bedroom and changed from his spider suit to some comfortable pajamas. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of water. He got just not too and then walked back to his room.
Jefferson opened the door and placed his keys on the counter. He took off his shoes and walked to the kitchen. The cabinet was open. He sighed and closed it after grabbing a cup for water. He warmed up some leftovers and ate them at the table.
Before Mr. Morales went to bed, he opened the door of his son's room. "Miles?" He wasn't supposed to be there but in his dorm at school. Something seemed off.
Miles didn't move and thought maybe he could just explain in the morning that he was having a rough night and had come home. That way he wouldn't notice the smell of alcohol when he spoke to his father. It worked.
Jefferson just smiled and sighed. He would just have to ask in the morning. "Sleep tight Miles, I love you."
Miles smiled. And as the door closed he started to fall asleep. He knew he'd have a horrible headache in the morning and wouldn't want to get up and part of him just wanted to lie and ask to stay home. Washing his feelings down didn't work. It wasn't worth it in the end. Instead his father had to see him at one of his lowest points.
He fell asleep and wasn't woken up in the morning. Instead he got to sleep in and Jefferson decided to take him out for the day. He wasn't sure what was going on with Spider-Man but he could make sure that his son didn't feel that way and he was bound and determined to do so. Maybe one day he can figure out how to help the hero who helped the city so much.

Two Weeks of Whump Day 4: Cage
Fandom: Across the Spider-verse
Summary: What happens when Hobie, Miles's only ally gets forced back to his own universe before he can remind Miles of his strength?
Miles watched everyone slowly walk away, leaving him stuck in the red eltric cage he'd been trapped in. The strangers left first then Peni. After that Peter and Gwen.
He wondered what Hobie was going to tell him before Jessica had to fight him. She dragged him back to what Miles could only guess was his universe, returning with his watch in hand.
It became apparent to Miles that his only ally was gone. He was on his own. Sinking to the ground he began to shake. This couldn't be it, he had to get back. His father was counting on him. He needed to make up for everything he'd done; for killing Peter Parker, for all the stress he put on his parents, for the people he couldn't save, for existing.
Trying to break the shield seemed impossible. Saving his father seemed impossible. Staying on the floor Miles began to lose control of his breathing. He pulled his hands up to his chest; his knees under him.
Time passes as Miles's condition gets worse. He felt suffocated and helpless. Like no one should help him, like he was selfish for wanting to save his father. Instead he would fail both Uncle Aaron and him. Their tombstones would be next to each other; a hero buried next to a villain; brothers buried together.
Slowly Miles ran out of tears. The salty water stained his face. He could breathe normally now and could think clearer. It was time to get out of this cage.
The solution hit him like that bus hit Doc Octavia. Miles placed his fingertips against the red cage. He activated his venom and the electromagnet shield started to falter. When it didn't work he thought about what Hobie had said earlier, "lead with the palms not just your fingers."
Pressing his whole hand against the shield broke it quickly. He finally stood up and jumped a few times to get blood flow in his legs. Now he just needed to find a way out of this hell.
There were the watches but Miles didn't think he could manage to get a hold of one. There was also the gizmo that took anomalies home. That would just have to do.

Two Weeks of Whump Day 5: Broken Glass/ Building Collapse
Fandom: Across the Spider-verse
Warning: Character Death
Summary: what if Miles hadn't saved Inspector Singh? What if everything went according to the canon?
Pavitr watched the building as surrendered to gravity. He watched as the fragments of the building fell around Inspector Singh and a child. It rested on the ground.
From there everything seemed to move in slow motion. Pavitr couldn't think right. What Inspector Singh had died? What if the child has been killed? What would he tell Gayatri?
Gayatri. Looking down at the bus he continued pulling it up. Hobie came over to help. Miles and Gwen got down and Miles started to ask her why she wouldn't let him help.
After the bus was brought to stable ground, Pavitr ran over the remainder of the building. Hobie helped the civilians out of the bus.
Glass crunched beneath Pavitr's feet. The shards stabbed into them, leaving blood behind. He didn't even know. The pain didn't register. As he walked the pieces tore more and more of his skin and went further into his feet.
Pulling pieces of ruble from the pile, Spider-Man searches for the police chief and the child he had been trying to help. He could hear the child crying but other than that the sounds around him were like a faint ringing.
"Inspector Singh?" He whispered to himself. As Pavitr removed one of the pieces a pained scream came from under it. Finally the two were uncovered. Other than being terrified the kid was okay.
Inspector Singh not so much. His bloody body lay on the ground. One of his legs was crushed under a larger piece of debris and it appears a rode had impaled him. However the rode had been attached to the piece of rubel that had been part of the puzzle of the Alcomexe building.
Hobie came over and took the child to safety, understanding that Pavitr had to take care of his Captain Stacy. He would help him through it later.
Pavitr tried. He placed his hands on the wound and put pressure on it. Yelling for a doctor wouldn't save him now. The child" strained the Inspector, "is he okay?"
"Yes, he is." Pavitr's voice faltered. Tears formed in his eyes and fell, being hidden by the mask. "Hanging there sir, please."
"My daughter?" The question took Pavitr off guard.
"She's okay. I got her. Sir, you'll be okay. I promise." Before a doctor could arrive on scene Inspector Singh passed. Pavitr knew somewhere in his mind but didn't stop holding on to hope. After all he promised.
When Gayatri realized what had happened she ran towards her father. Hobie, who had given the child to his father and was trying to get Miles and Gwen to stop arguing about why Miles should have been there to help and why Gwen shouldn't have stopped him, ran towards her. He grabbed her from behind and she screamed. "Dad!"
Suddenly the agreement between Miles and Gwen didn't matter. Hobie tried to help Gayatri but she wouldn't stop fighting him. She kicked her feet as Hobie tried to move her farther from the unstable wreckage. "I'm so sorry."
"Let go of me! Dad!" Her voice broke the hearts of the people she was near. Hobie held her tighter. She sobbed and screamed, never letting up on Hobie. She hit strong, if this was a better time Hobie would compliment her on it.
Doctors finally arrived on screen. Pavitr took a step back. He walked back over the glass. Looking down he saw the blood and looked around to figure out who had been injured. It was then that he realized the pain in his feet.
Ignoring it he walked right up to Gayatri. Hobie was no longer restarting her but instead holding her as she cried. Pavitr tapped on her shoulder gently with the back of his hand as go not get any blood on her. "You're his daughter, right?" Of course Pavitr knew that she was.
Gayatri turned around quickly, accidentally sending Hobie back. "yes."
"I'm so sorry." He no longer could hide that he was crying. The sobs came through the mask that he desperately tried to keep on.
Unsure if what to say Gayatri nodded. Hobie came over and hugged Pavitr. "You did your best."
Pavitr broke the hug quickly and got on his tippy toes to whisper something to Hobie. "I'm going to go change, I need to be there for her." Hobie nodded and Pav turned to leave.
Gayatri stopped him, "thank you for trying."
"I just wish it had worked."
With that he swung away. It wasn't but a few minutes before he returned. He ran up to Gayatri. Hobie finally let her go, her sadly smiling at him as he did. Hobie joined Miles and Gwen in aiding where needed. "I got here as quickly as I could."
Gayatri could tell he had been crying. It looked like he was still trying not to. She grabbed him shaking and slowly the two sat down. As she sobbed into his chest Pavitr did what he could to comfort her.
Moving from her position, Gayatri looked him in the eyes. She didn't say anything. Pavitr pulled her back in, not being able to look her in her beautiful brown eyes, "I'm sorry."

Two Weeks of Whump Day 6: Gunshot Wound
Fandom: Spider-verse
Summary: After a late night villain attack, Jefferson and Miles meets unexpectedly in the building.
Miles looked at the time, 1am. "Why can't villains attack the city at more convenient times?" he muttered to himself. Grabbing his suit he slipped his PJs off. Ganke stirred as Miles opened the window.
"Off to save the city? We have a test tomorrow." He mumbled
"You know it. I'm sure it'll be fine."
"Good luck."
"Thanks." Miles crawled out the window and attached a web to a nearby building. He pushed his feet against the wall and was off.
The fight against the villain wasn't long. Miles webber her up and got ready to go back to the dorms.
Though it might not have been a long fight it wasn't without property damage. No fight was really a fight without a form of property damage. It was one of the reasons Spider-Man was a controversial person. That and the baby powder.
As he walked towards a window so he could get out of there he heard a familiar voice behind him, "freeze, Spider-Man."
Oh great. "Mr. Morales" Miles replied turning around. He was pointing a gun at him. "Woah" Miles jumped back startled, "isn't that reserved for the bad guys?"
"You killed an innocent."
"Where did you hear that?" Miles's heart raced. He most certainly did not kill anyone.
"My brother, Aaron Davis. For the past year and a half I can't stop thinking about it. You were there."
"No you must be mistaken. I've never killed anyone. Mr. Davis was a good man-" Miles's fake accent began to slip. It had been so long now and they had been working together for just about the whole time he had been Spider-Man.
"Put your hands up."
Miles complied. "There's no need for the gun."
"I'm bringing you in for the murder of my brother."
Spider sense. Miles turned his head to see that the villain from earlier had escaped. He turned quickly to take care of her. The quick movement gave Jefferson a reason to shoot.
Miles hadn't thought about it when he moved. When he heard the gun go off he assumed that his dad had shot at the villain. No. He didn't know until he watched the villain leave.
Warm liquid ran down his leg. "What?" He whispered to himself. Looking down he realized what had happened. His father had shot him. The pain hit like the bullet that had just ripped through his side.
Spider-Man collapsed to the ground. He pressed his right hand against the wound while the other pulled his mask off. He used it as a form of cloth to help with the blood. "Did you really think I killed uncle Aaron?! I was there! It was Kingpin!"
Jefferson started at his son, now on the ground. He'd shot him. "oh God." He ran over to him and fell to his knees to help.
"Don't fucking touch me!" Miles screamed.
Jefferson jumped back before speaking, "don't talk to me like that." He realized how stupid it sounded as the words left his mouth.
"You shot me!" The teen tried to move back but couldn't.
"I'm sorry! Miles, just let me help you!"
Miles thought back to everything that had happened in the last month. Everything Miguel had put him though just because he wanted to save his father. For a brief second he wished he hadn't. That thought was quickly replaced by a wave of hatred for his own mind.
"Stay away." Miles voice was weaker this time. He didn't yell. The betrayal that laced every word, every movement made Jefferson feel as if he had been shot himself.
"10-52 Spider-Man has been shot " Jefferson radioed in.
"Stay with me Miles." He reached to hold pressure on the wound and this time Miles accepted the help.
"My identity." Miles tried to move out from where he was.
"It'll be okay."
"What's that location Sir?"
Miles listens as Mr. Morales states the information to the operater. He reached for his gizmo. Miguel had given him one once he realized his mistake. Miles took it because he might not like Miguel but he wanted to help and he wanted to see his friends. He and Miguel were getting to a point where they both understood what had happened and why and realized it was better to forgive rather then to hold it against each other.
"Hobie?" He turned the watch on, "i've been shot, where's Spidey Doc?"
Hobie responded quickly. "Let me get in contact with him, where are you?" He asked frantically.
"Who's that?" Jefferson asked.
"A friend" Miles whispered. He sent his coordinates to Hobie and before he could say anything else Hobie was there.
"I'm here" he walked over quickly, "Spidey Doc should be on the way."
Jefferson looked up at Hobie before he was shoved by him. Hobie took his place and put pressure on Miles's side. Stunned he didn't do anything
Everything moved too quickly for Jefferson to keep up. Another portal opened and now there was another spider person in the room?
The hero was dressed in a similar fashion to his son but in light blue and light green. Hobie stood quickly and the hero took his place. Jefferson tried to get to Miles but was stopped by Hobie. "you're his dad right?" He asked.
"Yes and who are you punk!?" Mr. Morales yelled.
"I'm Miles's friend Hobie" he spoke calmly, "that's Spidey Doc, he'll take care of Miles."
"I need to take him back to HQ."
"Okay."
"Is that okay with you Miles?" The doctor asked.
Miles nodded.
Before Jefferson could say anything the doctor had picked up his son and started to walk towards a portal. "Wait where are you taking him?!"
Hobie grabbed Jefferson and stopped him from moving forward. "He'll take good care of him."
"Wait! Miles!" Jefferson tried to get away from Hobie.
As the portal closed Hobie released the chef. "What happened?"
"You don't need to know!"
"Miles is my friend! What happened to him."
When Jefferson didn't answer Hobie knew. "Good job. He'll be fine, just hope you don't lose him after this."
Jefferson just stared at Hobie. "What now?" He asked.
"You hope he forgives you. He probably will, he's very forgiving. After that you hope that you didn't just mess up one of the sweetest kids I know. But above all else you admit what you did was wrong and give him time."
"Okay." And that's what he did. He waited and talked to Miles, apologizing over and over again. Miles could never hate his father. The two's relationship grew stronger, no longer being built on lies.

Two Weeks of Whump Day 7: Blindfold/cyanide
Fandom: Across the Spider-verse
Warnings: Major character death and violence
Summary: Hobie battles a new villain and gets captured.
It was another day for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man until it wasn't. Hobie swung from one building to another before reaching his destination.
A fairly new villain stood in front of him, destroying everything that he could. "Spider-Man! Finally you arrive!" He said. The Prowler stood at about 5'8 and sounded strangely familiar when he spoke.
"Ello, Prowler." Hobie started his attack. At first Hobie had the upper hand as he always did, and things started to shift.
It didn't take much longer for Hobie to end up being thrown off the building down into the alley. He attempted to stand but was shoved into the ground. Then a swift kick to the head knocked him unconscious.
When Hobie woke he was in a dark room, or at least he thought so. The fabric over his eyes made it difficult to tell. The air was chilly and damp; the set of mold and chemicals hung in the air.
Cold metal wrapped his wrist tightly. Struggling he tried to move from against the wall.
"You won't be leaving" The Prowler informed him. "Actually you won't be leaving ever again."
"I don't listen to you."
""News flash, I don't care!" The villain carelessly screamed.
As unsettling as it was villains did stuff like this all the time. The spiders even did things like that sometimes. Hobie kept trying to free his hands from the chains.
"Stop trying, don't want your last acts to be tiring do you?" He teased.
"I'll fight until I'm dead." Hobie continued to pull against the chains. "So, where are we?"
"Wouldn't you like to know."
"Actually I would."
"Too bad." Across the room Hobie heard a cabinet open and some glasses clinking against each other. The cabinet door closed and something was knocked off a table. A glass shatter on the ground.
"Shit" the villain whispered to himself.
"I think you dropped something." It was Hobie's turn to tease.
The Prowler picked up the largest piece of the glass that had broken and threw it at him. The glass cut into Hobie's skin but it wasn't enough to really hurt. "You won't be laughing soon."
"Haha" Hobie said sarcastically. He shifted his legs to see if me could tell that the floor was. The coolness and texture said concrete so he was likely in a basement. "Is this a basement? How original."
Prowler sighed, "keep talking. It's entertaining." The room fell silent. Prowler's footsteps echoed in the room as Hobie's spider sense rang.
"Wear heels, do you now?"
As Prowler went in to kick Hobie he moved his body so that his arm would take the hit not his stomach. He moved back further against the wall and pulled his legs out in front of him. Sweeping his leg, he tripped Prowler making him fall to the floor.
"Ow" he said sarcastically. Again Hobie went to kick but this time claws met his right shin. Hissing, he tried to pull it back to him to attack once more.
Prowler had other plans. Using his other hand he clawed Hobie in his left thigh. After that he pulled himself into Hobie's lap and put one arm against the others chest. Grabbing a wet cloth from the floor Prowler shoved it over Hobie's nose and mouth.
It burned when it touched his skin. The smell of almonds lingered in the cloth. Hobie pulled his head away. Prowler grabbed it quickly and held him in place. The rag went right back over his lower face.
Hobie didn't breath for what felt like an eternity. However he had to at some point. The irritation on his skin was getting worse, becoming painful.
Air flooded his lungs, taking an unknown chemical into his body. "Fucking finally. I was wondering if you were ever going to breathe."
As much as Hobie wished to give Prowler some snarky remark, he would save it for later.
"Do you want to know what's in the rag?"
Hobie, holding his breath again tried to nood.
"Cyanide."
'Fuck' Hobie thought. Fear shot through his body, his spine feeling strange. He tried to use his legs to get Prowler off of him. No luck. He could feel the headache approaching. Sickness started to kick in.
Again Hobie tried to move his head. Claws dug into the side of his face and neck. He squirmed trying to escape.
"This ends here, Hobie Brown."
"Uh uh" Hobie vocalized.
Breathing felt dangerous, it was dangerous. He felt dizzy. Time passed so slowly it was like it didn't move. Hobie's condition got worse as he stopped being able to fight.
As the rag was finally removed from his face The Prowler stood. Without saying a word he walked away, footsteps making the only noise in the room. The heels clicked on the concrete floor menacingly.
Hobie breathing was shallow as he tried to make himself comfortable. He chuckled to himself, what a way to die. Alone, by some guy who sounds just like one of his best friends, never completing his goal of saving his world from the corruption it suffered from.
