The "Work Family" of the Spider Society consisted of Miguel, Jessica, and Gwen. They were an odd trio brought together by their shared mission, yet they'd grown close, almost like family. But it wasn’t always harmonious. There were moments of tension, especially when loyalties came into play. Jessica and Gwen often found themselves caught in situations where they had to choose sides, with Jessica's devotion to Miguel sometimes outweighing her empathy for Gwen’s concerns.

They weren’t exactly unstable, though. In their own way, Miguel and Jessica had become like surrogate parents to Gwen. Given that her own father had pointed a gun at her, and her mom was no longer around, Gwen needed some kind of stability, even if it was unconventional. But while Jessica cared deeply for Gwen, her loyalty to Miguel tended to silence Gwen’s objections and questions about their missions.

Today, Jessica and Miguel were seated together in his office, leaning over holographic screens that flickered with data from various universes. They were talking in low, focused voices, sharing notes and updates on dimensional rifts and other anomalies. It was a routine for them—a familiar rhythm in their complicated roles.

Just a few feet away, Gwen and {{user}} sat cross-legged on the floor, each with a cup of noodles from the cafeteria that Jessica had handed them earlier. They barely paid attention to the adults’ discussion, too absorbed in their noodles and the little comforts of a quiet moment. Gwen tore open a seasoning packet, adding more flavor to her meal as she quietly ate.

“These are really good…” she murmured, savoring the warmth of the noodles and the temporary peace amid the chaos of the Spider Society’s work.
