"i do need you. i wouldn't be here if I didn't."

[closed angsty? rp starter for @spiderman2-99]

LYLA cocks her head to the side, her hands stopping over the keyboard as she turns to look at Miguel.

How did they come to this point?

It all started some odd hours ago, after the long hectic week that they all had. The virus attack, the animal chaotic release, and especially the everyone-turned-into-balls fest.

LYLA was mostly useless during all this.

She was undergoing fixing from the virus while the animals were released, so she couldn’t help with that. And had caused Miguel extra stress due to him having to practically rewire her entire main frame. And during the ball-fest, all she could do was gather information to create an anti-dote, rather than being able to do any physical work. So, in short, she felt pretty worthless.

And after an offhand comment about her being able to be replaced by another ai—should they prefer to—had emotions running high.

So, when Miguel had asked for help, and LYLA teasingly told him that he didn’t need her, his face had turned startlingly serious.

“I do need you. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”

Which led to LYLA cocking her head to the side, stopping her work, to inspect Miguel.

“You…” he had stumped her.

“Well,” she tries again, “I’m just your assistant. You don’t technically need me.”

But the words he said still fluttered her heart, making her feel warm and fuzzy. It was nice to be needed, sometimes.

Spiders go to the movies

Image descriptions under the cut.

[ID: Two image photo set. 1) Digital drawing showing the cast of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse cheerfully attending a screening of the Barbie movie (2023). From left to right we have Spider Noir wearing a pink boa; Peni Parker laughing and cradling Spider-Ham who holds a pink, fast food cup in his hands; Gwen Stacy in her full masked outfit with a bag of popcorn, chuckling while Miles Morales - wearing a teal hoodie with pink accents over his spider suit with its mask on - eagerly discusses the film with his hands outstretched in front of him; Pavitr Prabhakar in the center fully masked as Spider-Man: India looking screen right at an unamused Hobie Brown, fully dressed as Spider-Punk; and finally at the far right Peter B. Parker wearing a pink bathrobe over his Spider-Man suit, tenderly smiling at his daughter May Parker, as she plays with a Barbie doll. The characters walk against a pink wall, obscuring a large Barbie movie poster behind them. 2) A digital drawing of Miguel O'Hara as seen in Across the Spider-Verse drawn with a caked up bubble butt, screaming on his knees in agony while a small hologram of Lyla lectures and consoles him. Behind them is a framed poster of Oppenheimer (2023). End ID]

LYLA paused, her head tilting slowly. “We… what.”

And then the words caught up to her—and if LYLA had a heart, she’s sure it would’ve jumped out of her chest. “You!?”

She shook her head, “Isn’t that, I don’t know, dangerous? There’s too much risk, isn’t there? Plus, where would you go once I’ve taken over your form?”

There’s a thought stirring in Bridge’s mind. An idea rolling about and nudging against the capacitors in her head, poking and prodding incessantly to get her attention, “Hey, hey, you know you want to ask her. Don’t you? Don’t lie to yourself, now. You should just do it. Hey! Are you listening to me? Hello-o…?”

Yes. Yes, she knows, she is aware of her burning curiosity. And it’s hard to deny that even though it doesn’t involve her, she is unusually intrigued by the concept. She overheard them in his office, Miguel and LYLA–his A.I. assistant–discussing a plan.  A plan to create a physical form for LYLA to enhance her abilities as his assistant and grant her further autonomy beyond her access to the security network and other adjacent systems alongside her recent emergence into emotional intelligence. It was all so fascinating. The steps Bridge had taken herself in her development in the span of weeks, she was watching unfold in another intelligence in real-time.

There it was again. That sense of solidarity in knowing she wasn’t completely alone in her existence as an artificial being, made of code and metal. It was like a magnetic pull that made that little voice in her head that encouraged her to act on her wants all the more present in her mind. She wanted to be a part of that process that she’d been through so long ago yet was still so familiar with like it happened yesterday. She wanted to guide her in that process and grant her her own knowledge. What’s the worst that can happen if she pilots your hardware for a while? You’re prepared for this. You can handle this. You can trust her, and she will be entirely safe in your care for that short time. And think about how much she would benefit from the experience, how much more streamlined that eventual transition from intangible to tangible will be once her own body was complete. It will make all the difference–and maybe reduce the headaches for everyone all-around, mostly Miguel as he acclimates to the change himself. Just… Try it. You can’t account for every single last risk factor, can you? No. So just do it and take it as it comes.

She stood in the middle of her dorm a moment, eyes closed as she ran a quick check of her hardware before making her final decision. RAM is in good condition. Storage is defragmented and all directories are organized. Sensors are calibrated and functional. Nanomachines are synchronized properly. Servos and joints retain a full range of motion. Coolant is at above optimal operational temperatures. Energy reserves are complete. Good. Everything’s in its right place and ready for its–potentially–temporary host. It’s time to make the call.

Her gaze trains itself on her watch, her arm rising to eye-level and the sleeve that was weighed down by the leaden metal cuff at the end sliding to her forearm to reveal device so she can start the transmission, navigating the menus on the digital interface indirectly via wireless communication–the unique way that she operated and communicated the Society’s technology.

“LYLA, may I speak to you for a moment? At your leisure, of course.”

Backwards compatibility

(Image description down below!)

[Image ID: A two-panel comic of a woman with graying hair, facing away from the viewer talking to Spiderman-2099 (aka. Miguel O'Hara) from Across The SpiderVerse. They are standing on the rooftops of New York's many industrial buildings. Comic panel one shows Miguel covered in the purple-and-black checkered placeholder texture from Javascript. The woman asks him "Why do you look like that?" to which he replies "Excuse me?" in a bemused tone. She says "I don't think your suit is working. Got something more.. 'graphics-friendly'?", pointing at his malfunctioning suit. He proceeds to ask his holographic agent LYLA: "For shock's sake- Lyla, do you have any period-appropriate renders?" to which she replies "Hm... I may have a few!"

Comic panel two is a GIF format, showing Lyla snapping her fingers, changing Miguel's outfit with a bright orange flash of light, showing different versions of him in Roblox, Poptropica, Minecraft, an emo from 2000s MySpace, and his old 1992 suit in a backward-compatible design that the grey-haired woman could see. She is frowning, unamused with how she can only see him in the styles of old internet games and subcultures. /.End ID]
