[Western Crossover] I Found Out My Boyfriend Is a Superhero

1.

Caroline Gran, thirty-four, a Gothamite, has it all: a successful career, a loving relationship, money, and fame. Her biggest worry every day is that her boyfriend will dump her if he finds out she's a demon god, a nonhuman species, or a higher-dimensional being.

After all, her boyfriend is a frail, rationalist science guy, and people in love should be open and honest with each other.

2.

Peter Parker, eighteen, a New Yorker, is doing wonderfully in both school and love, already several steps ahead of his peers. His biggest worry every day is how to balance his dual identities, and how the other identity might frighten the people he cares about and put them in danger, driving them away.

After all, Spider-Man's enemies are superpowered villains, and he's afraid of losing the people who matter to him.

The words of public opinion wound him, and the hole in his heart keeps festering.

Peter spends the night tossing and turning, waking from nightmares woven from guilt, silently falling apart in the dark. But Caroline's comforting kiss alights on his forehead like a gorgeous butterfly, then flutters away.

"I'm sorry," she says, apologizing without asking why.

But Spider-Man is both him and not him.

Peter knows that Spider-Man has nothing but a battered heart devoted to justice, while Peter Parker has a whole group of people who truly love him.

So what gives Spider-Man the right to take up Peter Parker's time?

He senses that question in Caroline's words, and in every bit of the care Uncle Ben and Aunt May show him. Peter thinks about it for a very long time.

In the end, Peter thinks: The world won't end without Spider-Man.

4.

Planning to tell the truth, and accept the cruelty of fate.

Caroline puts a tie clip she prepared long ago on Peter and sends him off looking his best to compete in the USAD finals, deciding she'll come clean after the competition.

Then she turns around and sees the Joker holding Peter's face on a livestream. Caroline: I'm seeing red. My fists are clenched.

Then the blonde superhero sees a projection suspended in midair, casually pulls out the world's timeline, and prepares to reboot it.

The world: ???

5.

Determined to tell the truth, and accept the strange or worried looks that might come her way.

Peter still takes on Spider-Man's responsibilities, balancing his dual lives as a superhero and an ordinary person. He saves himself, saves others, and saves the world.

Then fate plays a joke on him. The lesson that you shouldn't tempt fate before a battle ought to be carved into your bones. The threads of his life lose their anchor, and he falls from the sky, full of regret, but without a single ounce of remorse.

Then three Spider-Men stare at him as he wakes up. You're awake?

What is this, a Spider-Man battle across parallel worlds!

6.

Caroline crosses time and puts on a properly angry face. Peter Parker.

Countless eyes turn toward her. For a moment, something called arachnophobia strikes her, and all she can do is respond instinctively, awkward and helpless: Hi, Spidermmen?

Luckily, it isn't a big deal. She finds her boyfriend and goes home with him, finally saying the words she's been meaning to say: We need to talk.

7.

After his identity is exposed, Peter reads Caroline's expression and plans how to handle her anger. It looks like they'll have a fight, not break up.

He starts from the beginning and is fully prepared, but what he gets is a kiss and his memories back, right in front of all the superheroes.

Peter: !!?

--- Reader's Guide ---

This book could also be called "Caroline's Dating Diary," "My Adorable Boyfriend Can't Possibly Be a Superhero," "My Delicate Girlfriend Is Just an Ordinary Person," "Even a Fake Fourth-Dimensional Being Knows to Protect Other People's Privacy," "Look, This Spider-Man's Uncle Is Still Alive, You 'Traitor'," "Hello, Spider-Man...s?" or "There's a Spider-Man Here With Both His Aunt and Uncle Alive, and He Doesn't Fit In."

It's just a romance with the little spider. If you don't drink water, the sweetness might make your teeth ache.

There is a subtle main plot, but clearly the final boss is Caroline.

The timeline is a mess, and logic is dead.
