I'm Spider-Man (MCU) - Chapter 649: update: Has been edited

I’ve been convinced that the Spider-Society members were let off a bit too easily, so I made a revision.

First, Jessica Drew is no longer a division leader in the Watchmen. She was swapped with Spider-Punk. And I added almost 600 words to chapter 647. Here is all of it so you don’t have to go back and read:

(A/N: This takes place after the first Watchmen meeting, where they figured out the ranks and stuff.)

But as Spider-Punk was headed for the door, Peter called out to him, stopping him in his tracks. “Hey, stick around for a sec. I need to explain somethings about the division you’ll be leading…”

“?” Spider-Punk raised a brow. “Sure, but what’s so important that we have to talk in private?”

Sighing, Peter leaned back in his chair. “As you start going through the process of managing your division, you’ll notice that about 5 percent of the members who agreed to join aren’t here.” He revealed.

“And why is that?” Spider-Punk asked.

“They were deemed unworthy of joining our ranks due to their past deeds alongside Miguel. This includes Jessica Drew and Scarlet Spider-Man, just to name a couple…” Peter explained, his earlier telepathic reading of each spider-person allowing him to sort out the undesirables.

Although he didn’t mention it yet, Peter didn’t allow these undesirables to return and live peacefully in their universes either. Instead, as he summoned each of the Spider-People earlier in the day, he did the same for them and simply dumped them into the islands prison, where he’ll leave them until he decides their punishment.

But until then, they’ll remain behind bars. At least until he sorts through their wrongdoings and crafts a fair punishment for each of them.

“I see…” Spider-Punk nodded his head, not against Peter’s decision. “Is that all?”

“Sadly, no.” Peter shook his head. “You happen to be in charge of the most complicated division.”

Spider-Punk couldn’t help but sigh in resignation as he heard this. After all, he didn’t even want this damn job in the first place. The only reason he accepted was because they voted him in.

Peter continues, amused by Spider-Punks reaction. “After all, each of you holds a fair bit of blame when it comes to enforcing Miguel’s ‘Canon Events’…”

“Not all of us…” Spider-Punk shook his head, speaking up for his people. “Most of us didn’t handle Canon stuff. We would usually just police the multiverse, taking down anomalies or other big villains.”

“True.” Peter knew he was telling the truth, as his words matched his past telepathic vetting of the Spider-People. “But that doesn’t absolve you all from guilt. You still joined the Spider-Society, and you still helped Miguel, even if you weren’t too involved with his plans, which is why as the new Spider-Division leader, I order you to dole out appropriate punishments for each and every member.”

“How the hell am I supposed to know who to punish, or how heavy their punishment should be?” Spider-Punk asked.

Smirking, Peter pulled out a flash drive and handed it over. “This has all the information you’ll need. From names to their level of guilt. I even added a list of suggested punishments. Nothing too heavy handed. After all, I wouldn’t recruit any truly heinous people into the Watchmen.”

Spider-Punk stared at the flash drive in his hand in surprise. “How’d you get this information?” He asked.

“LYLA kept excellent records.” Peter answered with a lie. The real source of that information was his telepathic vetting of each member. He spent a whole night typing up all of the information he gained so he could sort out the undesirables and punish everyone accordingly.

Spider-Punk couldn’t help but ask, “And you’re trusting me to punish them all? What if I let them all off, or they decide not to listen to me?”

“I don’t believe you’d let a crime go unpunished, you’re not that type of guy.” Peter shrugged as a predatory smile graced his lips. “And if any of them even think of being insubordinate, then the last thing they’ll have to worry about is receiving a few slaps of the wrist from you…”

A chill ran down Spider-Punks spine as he recalled just how powerful Peter truly is. ‘I really pity the first idiot that causes trouble…’

A/N: That’s all. Hopefully everyone likes the edit 🙂
