Um. Hi. My name is Miles. I don't really know what to think about this whole thing about everybody being fictional, so is it okay if I just ignore it? I think if my life really was fictional I would be a lot better at chemistry and maybe less scared of heights, you know??

Anyway, I have a question! Is it true that people you knew back home can end up here with you? I figure if my best friend was here he would have texted me by now, but Ganke if you ARE here and you haven't texted me because you're busy building some awesome giant Lego creation that's really cool and I want to see it or maybe you're still mad at me but either way you should really text me!! Like now!!

And if Ganke Lee isn't here, then maybe there's a guy named Nick Fury?? I know that there are more than one of them in different universes, but I'd prefer to talk to the black one if possible. No offense if you're the white version!! I just don't know you!!

Don't be mad because someone else is Spider-Man?

Whoa buddy. I wasn't even going there. I was talking about the (understandable) resentment you have about the Ultimates. And you shouldn't bottle it up inside. Hence I'm coming over.

But you shouldn't bottle up any resentment you have about Miles being Spider-Man, okay. He's a good kid. You'll see. He really wants to do right by you.

How is there someone else, anyway?

Spider bite. Number 42, apparently. His powers are a little different fyi.

... Does he have all the stuff I did, or was that a trade-out?

[symbioteclone]

Well, he seems pretty agile. We um. Gave him your web shooters?

So he got better powers than me, Nick Fury is less of a jerk, and someone actually let him become Spider-Man after I died.

Couldn't he have taken a different codename?

It's an homage! He was carrying on your legacy!

I'll talk to you later. I'm gonna go somewhere I can't be found. Without my phone.

Oh my god, Peter. Don't be like this.
