Omega's Heroine's Journey prediction
Here's my current prediction for Omega's story from season 1 to season three using the Heroine's Journey as a model.
Separation from the Feminine. Omega leaves Kamino behind, and with it her central mother figure, Nala Se, a woman who is Creatrix of her many brothers, benevolent and ruthless, Creator/Destroyer. Nala Se represents an ambivalent figure to Omega. She is loved by her, but she lived in a cloistered lab, and likely saw Nala Se's ruthlessness, as well as her love. In Murdock's Heroine's Journey, the heroine is unhappy in the world that represents her feminine origins.
Identification with the Masculine and Gathering of Allies. Most of our story of the Bad Batch, is Omega's journey with her younger big brothers. They are aspects of her animus, the masculine side of her, and she identifies with them, learns from them. They are the Muscle Man [Wrecker], Hunter [Literally, the Hunter], The Professor [Tech], and eventually, the Psychopomp [Crosshair]. Allies include Cid, Echo (a Reg brother), Phee, and many more.
Road of Trials, Meeting Ogres and Dragons. Many stories of rancors, dragons, scoundrels, battles. Season 1 and season 2.
Finding the boon of success Pabu. After many trials, (we see bits of vice in Omega at the start of season 2, a little of the potential for avariciousness we see in Jango and Boba, mostly ameliorated with influence of her brothers and the old Serennan man). But Pabu is the success, the utopia well-earned, a life with her brothers.
Awakening to feelings of spiritual aridity; death The life of adventure with her brothers, brings Omega the absence of one brother striking off independently, the other brother dead (maybe). Season 3, Omega will realize that her life with her brothers that she emulated and desired leads to their danger. She will question herself and what she means to them.
Initiation and Descent to the Goddess Omega will meet a Dark Shadow of herself--Emerie, the version of herself raised by a malevolent father figure, Dr. Hemlock. He is neither the benevolent paternal figure of Hunter, nor the neutral Creatrix like her mother. Dr. Hemlock is a malevolent Creator/Destroyer and perversion of that mythic figure. Omega will come to understand her Shadow in Emerie, and what could have been an aspect of herself down another path. In addition, she will also meet the Goddess that can help reconcile her place in the galaxy, and her place. This could be represented by Asajj, a woman who has been raised and tutored by multiple people, kind [Jedi] and dark [Sith], and found her own way, her own power, not completely defined by simple dichotomies, embracing what she has learned of Jedi, Sith, Witches.
Urgent yearning to Reconnect with the Feminine Omega will revisit what it means to be Nala Se's Creation and Daughter, to be Emerie's sister. That Feminine is represented in this story by cloning itself, and Omega's former (and current Mt. Tantiss) life of medical research of being assistant and aide to Nala Se -- the life that had been intended for Omega. This does not mean Omega will be Nala Se's assistant in her future adult life. But it does mean reconciling with her Mother Figure's legacy of the clones, and how she can help them herself, using her own knowledge gleaned from working on Kamino and on Mt Tantiss.
Healing the Mother/Daughter Split We have never seen Omega and Nala Se hold a conversation with each other. It will be time for a maturing Omega to confront her Creatrix, to understand or reconcile her ambivalent feelings towards her. This may also be represented in having EMERIE, Omega's Shadow, reconcile with Nala Se, the Mother figure she might perceive as having abandoned her to Dr. Hemlock.
Healing the Wounded Masculine This was always going to be Crosshair. He represents the psychopomp, the final state of the Animus, the masculine that is the guide, who has gone to death, and out of it. He has been symbolized by the Ice Vulture [remember the sacred symbolism of the vulture], and Joel Aron talked about the "angelic" lighting above Crosshair in his cell. Angels and vultures are all psychopomps. Omega will heal her inner psychopomp, the masculine guide, the part of her broken masculine, and in need of flying again, soaring above with sharp eyes.
Integration of the Masculine and Feminine Omega's final stage in the Heroine's Journey. She will combine and integrate the positive Masculine in her life (of which there is much!) of her warrior brothers, that have helped her to reach out in the world and fight, with the Feminine of her origins, the clever clone, assistant to the Creatrix of them all. Like Nala Se, she can be clever creator and destroyer (she was trained to do Nala Se's work after all), but she will destroy what harms her Mother's creations. She is the Omega, the last Clone. She is the Legacy of Jango Fett, a man who gave his own blueprint to create millions of doomed boys that will destroy and be destroyed in turn, and the Legacy of Nala Se, the woman who used that DNA to create them. Jango and Nala were always mirror characters in the story--both seemingly dispassionately, created millions of doomed children for a war machine. Yet neither were wholly evil, both loved fiercely and were/are honorable. Both loved one clone (the Alpha, and the Omega, respectively). Omega will embody the positive aspects of both these complicated legacies.

Miguel O’Hara X Fem! Spidey! Reader
Summary:
You are the one and only Arachne, the newest hero of Hell's kitchen. Well, in you're dimension anyway.
In your Free time, you're a hacker, trying to bring down companies like Alchemax, Oscorp, and Stark Industries. Exposing them of corruption and their inhumane experiments.
You've recently have been recruited to the Spider-Society. Now surrounded by echos of your dead brother and other unique faces, You are gaining new tricks every day.
Yet, the only annoyance is Miguel O'Hara. The grumpy man doesn't seem to like you, and you have no idea as to why. You're doing your best to catch Anomalies and protect the Multi-Verse. So what if there are no Variants of yourself?

Alright. Let’s get this out of the way.
Inter-dimensional Travel was something you’re older brother had theorized. He would explain it to you in long drawn-out personal lectures. Too bad you never understood it and would play Minecraft on your Phone when he would start, never noticing how your eyes would become glassy, staring at your screen.
He was the science geek. He spoke out against Alchemax and Oscorp so many times. Leading him to be flagged and blocked from multiple positions at other smaller companies. All he was doing was advocating for more humane experiments, no careless dumping of hazardous waste, and the black market deals the companies were making.
He was the true hero.
You were just his gal in the chair, his personal hacker. Getting him the information he needed to give to lawyers and news outlets. Showing the world what corrupt experiments were going on. Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson became the biggest legal defense you and Peter had. It was just a bonus that Matt taught you both how to defend yourselves, and was the legal Guardian after Aunt May and Uncle Ben’s death.
That was the case until the accident. Oscorp released a small little critter into your shared apartment one night. Hoping the little spider would spin its little web down onto your brother, poisoning him with the genetically modified venom.
The Spider bit you instead. And the enhanced venom? Sure it gave you a seizure, and you were driven to the hospital as your brother panicked. But it didn’t kill you.
That’s when the head of Oscorp decided a hitman was the solution.
It happened a few days after your release from the hospital The only family you had left. Taken from the world by the very people he spoke out against.
The rain started the same time your tears hit the ground.
“Peter, please, don’t sleep” You cry out clutching him to you. Thunder clapping all around you as the gunman runs down the alley. You think you heard Foggy yelling after Matt, before calling 911. “Please, Pete. Don’t Die! Don’t die!”
Matt’s footfalls as he ran down the alley, perusing the man.
“It’s okay bug, It’s going to be fine lil’bug” He mumbled out with a smile. And then he shut his eyes.
The cry you let you shattered you. A dark abyss opened up inside of you, fury inside you was born.
As Foggy tried to pull you away from his body, and the Red and blue flashing lights approached, you saw nothing but red down the alley. When Matt returned with bloody knuckles and a black eye. The cops didn’t question him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You took on your brother’s unfinished work, but with the addition of your new found powers. Anger fueled you for a long time, until you came to the realization, your brother was never angry with the world, He was disappointed. He wanted it to be a better place. Safer.
You had to continue fighting for what he wanted. You had to become his legacy.
No matter how hard you got hit, you hit harder. If you were going to go down, you weren’t going alone. You are not going to stop, not until Ospcorp, Alchemax, Stark industries, and others are held responsible.
Thank God that Matt continued to take care of you. He helped you grow into the powers.
One Day your ginger Guardian took you up to the apartment building rooftop.
“Why do I need this on?” You pointed to the blindfold he had put on you. Technically it was your winter scarf, but it was tied around your head.
“For this!” Matt said somewhere on the rooftop.
KAWCHUNK!!
Pins and needles ran up you back and you ducked.
THWACK! The sound of rubber hitting brick rang out. A tennis ball hits the Roof entrance in front of you.
“What the hell Matt?”
KAWCHUNK!! KAWCHUNK!!
TH same sensation ran up you on your left, and then your right, taking a step back you miss the next KAWCHUNK!! That was in front of you.
A tennis ball thwacks you in the stomach.
“FUCK!”
“Kid, you’ve got this sense,” Mat speaks as another Tennis ball is fired Causing you to bend your back, falling to your knees in a quick motion. “And I’m testing it out.”
The prickles form in the back of your head. Sliding to the Right, a woosh of the tennis ball goes whirling past.
“SO you thought getting hitting me with Tennis balls is okay?”
“You’re dodging most of them” One hits you in the rib. “That doesn’t sound good.”
“How are you doing this?”
“The same way you’re dodging the chew toys”
There is a click of a button. The whirling of 5 machines catches your ear, You’re whole body gets that sensation. You leap up as all of them fire. All five tennis balls hit each other in unison.
“I taught you how to throw a punch, the least I can do is make sure you know how to dodge.” He smirks but you only look at the Red lensed glasses. The same shade that was on his knuckles that rainy night
He Gave you batons and old pieces of armor. Vanbraces and shoulder pads, Greaves that went over the combat boots you always wore.
He offered a helmet as well.
“That’s never going to fit me.”
“Would you prefer a bike helmet?”
“I’d prefer it if I can make my own adjustments and touches.”
In the end, a red hoodie covered in various light armor bits and pocket pouches. You took your inspiration of the spider and your old sewing machine and ran with it.
Blue LED Wires were sewn into the hood under black thread. The vanbraces got integrated with tech. Project a holographic Computer, stolen from Alchemax, easy for you to hack things without needing a physical computer. You had rewritten the software and the code, making it unique and unable to be tracked.
“What are you going to call yourself?” Matt asks, fingers tracing over the hoodie, your handy work made a small smile appear on his face. This was him beaming with Pride.
“Arachne” You didn’t even think about it. “I will be Arachne.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then you met the others. The Spider society.
Well, not all of them at first.
You just got out of college, graduating top of your Computer Engineer and Computer Science class. No job yet though Especially after it was revealed that you were the sister of the Annoyance that was once Peter Parker.
You going to blackmail us?
Thanks, but no thanks, we don’t need out dirty laundry to be aired out
Bastards.
Sure, they were right though. You were going to leak all their secrets out. Their software was used to spy on people in their homes, breaking their contract that had mentioned they would not do that. It helped that your guardian made sure you also got a minor in pre-law.
For the past 7 years, you were the one and only Arachne. The Crime Fighting vigilante, new to the scene, but taking over when Matt finally agreed it was time to hang up his horns.
The patrol was pretty quite that night, until that glitching Lizard started rampaging down the street.
“what the?” This definitely was not Dr. Cadence Conners. “Hey, Lizard Fella, DROP THE TRASHCAN!”
Landing on a light post, above the scaly humanoid, he stared up at you.
“Glowy Spidey?” His eyes slitted, as his long tongue licked his snout.
“Uh… kinda. Listen buddy why don’t-“
He threw the trash can at you. Causing you to let go of the lamppost.
“Okay, want to play dirty, let us play dirty.” Landing on the street, lucky no civilians around, you pulled out your batons and clicked the safety button. Electricity sprang alive to the metal and you charged.
Claws swiped left and light. Dodging and weaving, you manage to land a blow in the center of his chest.
ZAAP! And down he went. With a loud THUD and the whole ground around you shook.
“All in the days work” You chucked before you pulled out a hologram to call the authorities. That was until… he glitched. Green turning to purple, shapes surrounding him. Then he was back to normal. “The hell is going on in hell’s kitchen?”
“Oh, that’s where we are. I knew I was right, Ghostie!” A voice called from above you… and your froze.
No, no. It can’t be. That can’t be, but it sounds exactly like-
“Peter?” Your do a 180, staring up at the other lamp post.
There was a man squatting on top of another lamppost, just like how you do. The proper pouncing stance.
He stood in a skin-tight suit, the webbing of the suit was close to yours, and the same shade of red, with a pink bath robe on top with.. a baby Bjorn?
A slender woman was holding on to the post of it, leaning forward. Also in a skin tight suit. White with pink and black accents. Converse shoes on. Her hood was similar to yours, without the glowing blue LED.
“Uh, I take it you know me.. I mean my voice?” He swings down with a.. web-shooter. What?
He pulls of his mask and.
“I buried you.” Comes tumbling out. You pull him in for a bear hug. “How? How are you alive? And… why do you look so much older?”
He did, more wrinkles, and streaks of fading brown hair. He was… off. He wasn’t the same Peter.
“Oh… here’s the thing.” His face drops. And he pulls away. “I’m not your Peter. I’m from another Dimension. I’m a variant of…what was your peter to you?”
The woman swing down next to him, and delightful glee echos out. A baby was clutching not her shoulders. A toddler.
“Woah, hey mayday why don’t” Peter was cut off as the baby swung over and promptly sat herself down into the bjorn.
The woman took her mask off and…
“Gwen?”
“Oh, she knows both of us..” Peter sighed.
“When did you get an eyebrow piercing!” Your brother’s best friend from high school left town shortly after the funeral. She.. she looked younger. And her hair was slightly pink. “Wait… another dimension? No.. but..” As you fumble over the right words. They stare at you.
“You” pointing to Peter. “You’re not my brother.”
“Brother?” They both asked as the child giggled out and the swung over to you. Mayday.
“Mayday? After Aunt May?” Your eyes widen. This can’t be real. Your brother was dead, you didn’t have Gwen’s contact info, and you knew she would never get an eyebrow piercing. Hell, a second lobe was a BIG if for her. “Different dimensions? Is this… is this about this multiverse theory?”
“It is Kid. “
“You… My brother talked about it a lot. He was into theoretical science, physics. He wanted to do that.”
“I’m sorry you lost him” Gwen speaks.
Staring down at the little girl in your arms, your eyes start to water.
Her joyful face drops and then she puts her tiny arms around your neck. A gentle squeeze.
Your brother deserved this life to have a kid, but never got it. Why not? This Peter got it.
“Why are you here.” You say as you gently hug the girl closer.
“For lizard over there.”
“A different version of Cadence Connors?”
“Yep.” Peter said. “We’re a part of a group of other People like us.”
“Spiders” Gwen simply explained taking a closer step. “But you’re gear…”
“I’m Arachne.” Extending a hand she shook it. “Daredevil taught me. He just retired.”
“Matt Murdock?” Peter’s Raises an eyebrow. Familiarity Rang aloud.
“Wait, Murderdock?” Gwen is taken aback at that. Fear raising her voice
“Wait, what? No, Matt doesn’t Kill. I don’t kill” You let go as the girl swings up to the lamppost above. “Sure, we hurt… and sometimes it’s a hospital visit for the other, but we don’t kill.”
“Woah, calm down the broth fo you” Better extend his hands as he tried to catch his daughter. ‘This is just another example of how the multiverse works.”
“And this multiverse has holes in it? Letting random rouges just fall through.”
“Essentially yes, and we” pointing to him and Gwen as Mayday was hanging of his bicep. “Are a part of a group that helps the ones that fall through back to their reality. Unfortunately, they don’t come willingly.”
You stare down at the Lizard.
“How many do you have? Currently, in this group?”
“Uh, twenty. Why?”
“How many multiverses are there?”
“Uh well one. If you mean dimensions… billions. Maybe Infinite.”
A smirk crosses your lips as you clicked your batons. Folding into one another they became the size of two pens. Putting the back in a pouch you smile up at the three newcomers.
“Need an extra Spider?”

October 1903
Dearest Walter,
I haven’t much to report, I’m afraid. School is carrying on as usual, and I’m learning just as hard. The first year is certainly just to ease us into boarding school, because my homework has doubled since I came back from Summer vacation, and I fear it will double again by the end of the year. There are days I wish I could be back in Henford with you, where life would certainly be more relaxed, but I feel as though I wouldn’t be as fulfilled there. I’d probably be a farmer, can you imagine that? I certainly can’t!
Life isn’t always corking here, though. I don’t know if you remember Virgil and Anthony from some of my previous letters, but my opinion of them hasn’t changed. I absolutely detest them, and I hope the devil breaks their spines. Mother tells me to not use such vulgar phrases, but it’s not my fault that Virgil and Anthony are maggots.
Well, I finally figured out why they plague me so, and I’m abashed it took so long to realise. It’s because my family isn’t as wealthy as theirs. Virgil's the son of Alban Dimsdale, some politician. The only reason I know his name is because he won’t shut up about him, and how he’s so powerful, and could lock all the poor in jail. If that were true, he wouldn’t be the only one talking about him, but I digress. His father has money, and so does Anthony’s. Anthony doesn’t talk about his father so much, but he’s rich too, apparently, otherwise he wouldn’t be friends with Virgil.
The thing is, if I found some baggage, filled with more money than Virgil could ever hope to have, I would still be hounded for not having old money. That’s Fred’s problem. His father’s a doctor, and a successful one, too. Trouble is, his father grew up poor, and all the money he has is new money. Forget that the Slaters are doing well enough to send their son to Edgewater, if it wasn’t an award from some king upwards of 200 years ago, it’s worthless.
Arguably, they harass Fred more than me. I guess he’s an actual threat to the feudal system they’d love to reinstate (we’ve been learning about it in history class). Sometimes I just want to punch them both in the face, and I let them know it, too. Fred always drags me away before I can actually do anything, though.
To be fair, it’s not just homework and bullies up here. On the weekends, Fred and I go into the city, and spend the day there. He usually brings money his family sent him with us, so we can buy candy from a sweetshop. We’ll go to a park and eat it there, but not after buying a copy of the Fowler’s Magazine. They don’t have them in Henford, but it’s where people can have short stories published. One day, I’m going to have my stories published in there, and I’ll send you a copy when it happens, but for now, I’m fine just reading what other people have to say.
I may be spending all this time with Fred, but I just want you to know that you’re still my favourite person in the world. I’m sorry this letter has been mostly a formless rant, but life’s frustrating at times. Surely you understand?
Your’s sincerely,
Charlie
