Day 2 Part 1

Peter woke up the next morning to a chime from Edith.

"Good Morning, Mr. Parker," Edith greeted. "This is the Second Day of the Season. Please freshen up and join everyone at the dining hall, where the schedule for the week will be released."

Peter sighed as he rolled out of his bed. Calmly, he went through his morning routines, then he boarded the elevator.

Once the elevator opened to the dining hall, he was greeted by everyone.

"Hello, Peter," May said. "Did you have a good night's sleep?"

"Um, yeah," Peter said after thinking. If you guys don't mind though, I'd like to talk to you all about something."

"That's fine," May said. "The table's set, so take a seat."

"Who made the food?" Peter asked.

"Edith did," Felicia said. "She somehow has control over the kitchen."

"Knowing Mr. Stark, it's probably just an automated kitchen," Peter said. "If this building really is based off of his designs."

"How close were you to him in your universe?" Ava asked confusedly. "I mean, in my universe, you knew him better than most of the other Avengers, but it sounds like you were close."

Peter swallowed as he remembered his late mentor.

"He was Peter's mentor," Felicia said for Peter. "They were... Close."

"Tony died in your universe?" Natasha asked.

"Yeah, fighting Thanos," Felicia explained. "Anyways, Peter you had something to tell us?"

"Yeah," Peter cleared his throat. "My room has this system called TRACER, it—"

"Lemme guess, it can watch us wherever we are?" Anne said.

"Exactly that," Peter said. "I also can access the intercom from my room."

"I can't say I'm surprised," Ava said. "Were you using it to spy on us?"

"No!" Peter exclaimed. "I only used it the once because Miss Romanoff and Miss Frost nearly started fighting."

"With Peter making his choice to reveal TRACER to you, it is my turn to make an announcement," Edith cut into the discussion. "As I said, each of you will have a scheduled Date. Please look at the TV to your right and view the schedule."

Date Schedule:

Day 2: Natasha Romanoff

Day 3: Olivia Octavius

Day 4: Anne Weying

Day 5: Ava Ayala

Day 6: Emma Frost

Day 7: Felicia Hardy

Day 8: Mary Jane Watson

Day 9: Maybelle Parker

"Now, as you most definitely remember, Day 10 will be the Challenge of the Season, then we will be done with Season 1," Edith said. "Now, I'm sure you're wondering how the dates will work when you're stuck inside the building? A new floor has been opened, called the Date Floor. The way the Date Floor works is it provides the basics, and creates for each Contestant an imitation of where you choose a venue for the date, along with a meal of your choice. For more, such as a bowling alley date, you will have to pay 75 Dollars for the floor to cater itself to such an extent."

"Is that it, Edith?" Peter asked.

"In terms of Date preparations, yes," Edith said. "However, each morning I must also show everyone the starting count for Webs. Also, I wish to remind you that the minimum Web count to escape Elimination Transformation is 10 Webs."

"About that, I had an inquiry," Emma said. "I wish to understand how it's possible for a new Contestant to join on Season 4, or any other later season, and be expected to reach 120 Webs by the end of the 12th Season. Newer Contestants have to be given more time, right?"

"No," Edith said. "I guess you just have to try your best to win."

May looked worriedly. "So it's essentially damning if in Season 10, someone gets Eliminated?"

"Yes, so don't get Eliminated," Edith said. "Now, for the current Web Rankings."

Web Rankings, Day 2

1. Emma Frost (5 Webs)

2. Felicia Hardy (1 Web)

3. Ava Ayala (0 Webs)

4. Maybelle Parker (0 Webs)

5. Mary Jane Watson (0 Webs)

6. Olivia Octavius (0 Webs)

7. Anne Weying (0 Webs)

8. Natasha Romanoff (0 Webs)

"That's all for the announcements today," Edith said. "You may now finish lunch and spend the day however you wish."

"Peter, Emma, let's clear everything up," Natasha said, standing up.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask," Anne said. "How'd you guys fix your problems?"

"We didn't," Emma said. "We merely agreed to buy a Transformation that would make us reconcile."

"Can I join you guys at the Shop?" Ava asked, standing up. "I need to buy new clothes after all."

"Of course, dear," Emma said as the four of them piled into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, Emma spoke up again. "Now that I can be a little bit more frank, I am rooting for you, Miss Ayala."

"Why wouldn't you say that in front of everyone?" Ava asked.

Having been connected to her thoughts, Peter answered for her. "She's almost a hundred percent sure Mrs. Parker and Miss Romanoff won't make it out this week. She's not confident in Miss Weying, but she doesn't know enough about her. Miss Olivia's a coin toss in her eyes."

"What about Hardy?" Ava asked with a noticable distaste in her tone.

"I'm as confident in her as I am in you," Emma said.

Ava frowned, as if the idea was disliked to her.

The elevator doors opened, and the quartet entered the Shop.

"Edith, could you be a dear and help me find what we're looking for?" Emma asked.

"Of course, Miss Frost," Edith said. "If you might describe what you need?"

"Anything to change or remove negative feelings between Contestants," Peter said.

"We have three options," Edith said. "I've listed them in order of how well I think each Transformation will benefit you."

Share The Love: The targeted Contestant will now have a bond of sisterhood with any other Harem members. Note: This Transformation can be bought for every Contestant to ensure a loving harem. Note 2: The targeted Contestant will only count anyone who also had sex with Peter to be a fellow Harem member.

Hate-Fucking: The targeted Contestant will now be able to take her anger against other individuals by fucking them. Once fucked, any issues she had will resolve, however issues may rise through future actions.

Love Trumps All: The target Contestant will now have a seed of romantic love for a chosen Contestant, along with a desire to have their love circle completed by Peter, both sexually and romantically. Note: Buying this does not guarantee that the chosen Contestant will return any feelings. Buy two to achieve optimal results.

"Well, all three options look like a mess," Ava said.

"Agreed," Natasha said. "Emma, do you have anything else that works along similar lines?"

"I do have a Transformation that will make the targeted Contestant horny if she is angry," Edith offered unhelpfully.

"Yeah, no, we're fine on that," Peter said.

That would make things worse, considering she is sure to get angrier the hornier she gets, Emma thought.

Yeah, Peter thought. "Ok, so it's between the first three. Let's list pros and cons for each?"

"Certainly," Emma said. "The first one's pros is that it guarantees a sisterhood, which means even if there's some problems, Natasha won't go crazy. —"

"Stop thinking this whole excursion isn't for you as well, bitch," Natasha said.

"... Now that you mention it, I dislike this one even more," Emma said. "The main strength is the sisterhood, however the main weakness is the condition to achieve sisterhood. Will it affect my relationship with others?"

"That is a hidden aspect of the Transformation," Edith said. "I would not have been able to tell you about it had you not come close to realizing. Essentially, your perspective on any 'non-sisters' will vary, depending on their outlook to your sisterhood. For example, if another Contestant wants to join the sisterhood, but doesn't feel ready yet, as the targeted Contestant you would feel the need to push them to make that last step. The opposite **** would be if a Contestant doesn't want to join the sisterhood, and looks down at the idea of joining the Harem. You'd consider her an enemy to the Harem."

"Honestly, it's a pro and a con," Ava said. "A pro because it'll help push us all to... Where we need to go, and a con because any Contestant not convinced yet would be in deep trouble."

"And, say for example, May," Emma said. "Would the targeted Contestant **** her to get fucked by you, or would she just prey on her downfall?"

"I bet you're preying on her downfall right now!" Natasha said. "Knowing your heartlessness, I wouldn't be surprised."

Peter rolled his eyes. "Miss Romanoff, I met you, like once in my world, so I don't know if my version of you was like this. Either way, Emma doesn't seem like a bad person. Someone who does gray things, sure. But not necessarily a bad person. Do you want to know how Emma feels about May? I'll tell you, because my mind and hers have a nonstop connection! She feels bad for her, however she thinks there's nothing she can do for her unless she uses a Transformation to mess with May's mind! However, she doesn't want to do that, because she realized that May is rather uninterested in trying to make it out of this, considering she died already! If I'm to be very honest, Emma is probably the first person here I can see myself actually doing whatever this place wants us to do, falling in love or whatever! So shut up about your whole grudge shit, please!"

As all three women stared at Peter in shock, Emma received a notification on her SWING.

4 Webs Earned: Get Peter Parker to a point where he thinks he can fall in love with you.

As the three woman continued to stare at him, Peter turned apologetic. "Sorry, might've been a little too angry about that, considering how your grudge is technically unnatural, Natasha."

"Even so, I appreciate you coming to my defense, Peter," Emma said.

"It's nothing," Peter said. "So, with the pros and cons of the first one done, the second one's only pro is that after the fucking, the targeted Contestant would no longer have any anger for anything that's happened. But the problem is that anything that irritates her, she'll need to fuck it out, and it's not going to be a limited to an individual."

"The last one's pro is that it's limited to the individual," Emma said. "The con is I'm not interested in falling in love with her."

"So the choice is between the first and third, right?" Ava asked.

"Yeah," Peter said. "Why?"

"The way I see it, you just have to choose what you like better," Ava said. "For the first, I'd assume you buy it for both of you, then after your date you guys have... Some fun with each other, then it's game over, you're sisters now. The second option is that you start to fall in love, and eventually you have sex with each other, and Peter."

By the end of her speech, Ava was blushing very hard.

"Hmm," Emma said. "Natasha, we both can agree that you have more of a grudge against me than vice versa, correct?"

"I won't agree to buying a Transformation for me and not you," Natasha said. "And last night, we said all three of us have to agree, didn't we?"

Emma rolled her eyes. "Of course that's what you'd say. So what do you want?"

"I want both of us to get the first one," Natasha said. "I don't want to fall in love with you, you skank."

"The feeling's mutual," Emma said drily. Peter, I'm worried about the overall effects of this, but I do believe this is the best option, and you know you do too.

"Alright, we all agree on buying Share The Love," Peter said. "We don't have the necessary Dollars though."

Peter, I'd suggest it, but Natasha will accept it better from you, Emma thought. We can have a threesome tonight, and then get the Transformation tomorrow morning.

"Miss Romanoff, I know you won't like this, but unless you have a Patrol you can easily do, we'll have to just go for a threesome," Peter said. "So, maybe we just do that tonight, then we get the Transformation tomorrow morning?"

"I don't have any Patrols I can do right now, no," Natasha said. "I think I'll go to the gym and get some exercise in, do you want to go on our Date around 6 P.M.?"

Peter looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's 10 A.M. now, so in 8 hours. Fine by me, Miss Frost —"

"Call me Emma, please," Emma rolled her eyes. "It's starting to get a little old, especially considering how tonight will go."

"Emma," Peter corrected himself. "Be at my penthouse around 8:30, please?"

"I'll join you in the elevator when you're headed up," Emma said. "Considering our connection, I'll know."

Emma and Natasha left using the elevator, leaving Peter and Ava in the Shop.

They looked at each other awkwardly for a few seconds.

"Hey," Peter said after a moment.

"Hey," Ava said shyly. "Um, can we table our awkward discussion for our Date?"

"I mean, sure," Peter said. "But, if we think about it, we need to take advantage, and try to move forward faster. I mean, if you stay at 0 Webs until after your date in 3 or 4 days, aren't you risking your chances?"

"That's... Fair," Ava said. "Well, I don't know what to say."

"I don't know either," Peter said.

"And that's the problem, I guess," Ava said. "The Peter I know, the Peter I lo— cared for? He wasn't a natural leader, but he grew to be a great one. He'd know what to say now. Then again, it's hard to imagine even him knowing what to say if he got **** by a drama reality **** show."

Peter winced. "Please don't think I'm **** you."

"Oh, no, I don't ," Ava said. "It's that Mephisto dude and Anansi."

"Well, what else is there to say?" Peter asked.

"I don't know," Ava said. "I mean, we basically just went over the problem. You're you, and you're not him. I miss him, but you're similar to him, and it's all just —"

Ava growled at the air.

"You know," Peter began. "I don't think buying that Transformation that was one of your options is such a bad idea."

"The one about an alternate life where we're together?" Ava asked thoughtfully. "No, that's not a bad idea. Well, let's take a look at the clothes, before we go. I think the clothes are a priority over fixing that situation."

"It's your ship," Peter said.

"Edith, can you display for me the options for my clothes that are made to accommodate my... Tail?" Ava asked.

"Of course!" Edith said. "The screen shows you the options!"

1 Dress: 50 Dollars Note: Dress will be made in design of your choice.

3 Random Underwear: 200 Dollars

1 Pair of Jeans: 90 Dollars

1 Pair of Pajama Pants: 90 Dollars

1 Pair of Sweatpants: 100 Dollars

"What the fuck?" Ava exclaimed. "Why are the underwears and pants more expensive than the dress!?"

"The dress is a limited use purchase," Edith explained. "The underwear and pants are purchases made for your daily use, beyond the show. We have to recognize the value in it."

"Recognize the value, my ass," Ava said. "Edith, how much do I get for kissing Peter?"

"A French kiss will earn you 50 Dollars, but only for the first time," Edith said.

"Fuck you, Edith," Ava said. "Making everything so fucking difficult, and for what?"

Ava stormed out of the Shop, calling the elevator angrily.

As soon as the doors opened, Peter called out to her.

"Hey, Ava," Peter said.

Ava turned to him wordlessly.

"Listen, go to the gym and spar against Miss Romanoff, or something. You're angry, valid, but don't just let it simmer, yeah?"

Ava nodded and closed the elevator doors behind her.

"If I may," Edith said. "Why didn't you join her on the elevator? You have nothing to purchase."

"Yeah," Peter said. "But I'd have been more taxing on her mental if I joined her. Please call the elevator down for me as soon as she gets off, yeah?"

"Of course, Mr. Parker," Edith said.
