Erofox: 1) There are many speculations on how Naruto and his parents appeared in the Marvel Universe. However, I will not reveal the truth just yet. So ou may be right, or you may be wrong. Only I know the truth. 2) Yes...well, sorta. Keep reading to know what I mean. And I'm not sure they would go that far as to "force" him. 3) No, I won't kill him. And trust me, I hate him too, but his character here will be different from his character in Earth-616. 4) Hela...see note at the bottom. 5) Idea #1: While he could graduate early, Naruto is still a teenage, and wants to have as much of a normal life as possible, so he would want to stay in school. Idea #2: I highly doubt that, you'll see why. Idea #3: maybe…

Random Dude: Thanks man! Yes, he will.

hydrO: Thanks, and I hope you loved the movie as much as I did.

Erofox (Jul 4): They will appear soon, and I loved the movie, it was great! Unfortunately, I don't have a ps4…*sniff!* T_T

tamaraniantuesday: You know what? It's people like you that always put a smile on my face! Thanks for loving my work so much!

Vanishing Raptor: That is a surprise, that you and everyone will love! XD Yes, but I have an idea of what to do with Earth-616 Octavious.

Cloud9: Another reason is to just drag things one. Lol

ZEBRAWARP7: Damn, could have done that. XD

Anthony00: I am trying to keep things balanced but also control my urge. If things go out of control, I can only hope I am able to fix it, but thanks for our concern. That is one idea.

Pallet: Well we have yet to see MJ cook, and Naruto is still stuck with his ramen obsession. But you KNOW that no matter how well the girls' cooking skills are, to Naruto (and just about every other man) none would come to his aunt/momma May. XD

Red Panda 1: Thanks. Wait and see~

Chapter 10: Alligator in the Sewers part 2: The Beast Awakens

*EEH! EEH! EEH! EEH!*

It was the annoying sound of the alarm clock that woke Naruto up. It was also said sound that ended its function, as a grumpy fist slammed down on it, shattering it to pieces.

"Shit! Not again."

Grumbling at the fact he 'accidentally' destroyed another clock, Naruto rose up on his bed. Opening his mouth to let out a wide loud yawn, Naruto smacked his lips as he looked around. He didn't see MJ around, so she was either in the bathroom or in the kitchen eating breakfast (not the first time she slept over. Also wasn't the first time they slept in the same bed, accidently of course, much to their prior embarrassment), or she left to her home sometime during the night or morning.

Looking around, he spotted a sticky note stuck to his desk lamp. Reaching over, he plucked it and looked at the message.

"Morning Tiger. Sorry I had to leave early in the morning. Wouldn't do for Aunt Anna to come to my room and I'm missing. So I had to sneak out and sneak into my room. I miss our cuddling already (He chuckled when he saw a small drawn face with puffing cheeks. "Chipmunk…" He muttered.) Anyway, I promised Liz and Sally I would ride with them to school today, so unfortunately no swinging. I'll see ya there, Whiskers!"

Smiling at the note, he placed it back on the desk before standing up from his bed. Stretching his muscles and bones, he went about getting ready. After a shower and getting dressed, Naruto walked down to the kitchen, smiling when he saw his Aunt May placing a plate of eggs and toast on the table. Seeing him, she smiled. "Good Morning, Sweetie."

Giving his aunt a kiss on the cheek, Naruto moved to the fridge. "Morning, Aunt May." Taking out the jug of apple juice, and taking a cup, he sat down on the table, beginning to eat as his aunt joined him. As the two ate, Naruto looked at the news on the kitchen's small television, which displayed Whitney Chang, talking about the exploding building yesterday, as well as the people Spider-man has saved. He frowned slightly, as that reminded him about those strange men that appeared.

Now knowing them to be the rumored "H-Bombers" gang, it brought even more questions. Who were they really? Why were they so set to blowing up that building? Recalling back, he remembered seeing that as they set explosives around, they also worked around the computers and consoles.

Perhaps taking data? Or looking for something?

If so, what?

So many questions, but no answer. As he ate, he thought about what his next move should be. Should he follow through and investigate this case, like a detective? Go back to the scene of the bombing and see if he could find anything? He also had that device he took from one of the goons. It looked like a communication device. While he wasn't a major expert in electronics and coding, he might be able to hack the device and use it to retrace the signal, and possibly find these Bomber's hideout if he was lucky.

"I hope everyone in that building is alright." He heard his aunt said, as she looked at the image of the building's remains. The fire and explosions had caused it to crumble under its weak weight. The report saying how the area around the ruins has been closed while the wrecking and construction crews fixed the mess up.

"I'm sure they're alright, Aunt May. I'm sure Spider-man got everyone trapped inside out safely." He reassured his aunt, who smiled at him.

May nodded. "Yes. Thank God this city has heroes to protect it. Even if they wear those ridiculous outfits." She said, chuckling, while Naruto sweatdropped.

He didn't look ridiculous in his costume…did he?

Hearing a snort from his head, his eye twitched. 'Stupid fox! Go back to taking your stupid nap!' It was like it was always waiting for the right chance to insult or mock him.

"Now you better finish your breakfast, dear. You need to head to school soon." May reminded her nephew. Naruto nodded and continued eating, though he wasn't worried about arriving late when you could swing there.

As long as there weren't any emergencies he had to take care of…

He just jinxed himself, didn't he?

Later

"Yup! TOTALLY jinxed it!" Spider-man shouted as he ran as fast as he could, holding a man over his shoulder, and a woman under his arm as the building's hallway burned with the fury of hell.

There he was, calmly web swinging on his way to school, when he came upon an emergency. And what was said emergency? Why, a building on fire!

Of course. Why not?

And being the hero that he was, one who takes the safety of people above his attendance record, Naruto had no choice but to stop and help people out of the burning building.

Yet another tardy, thanks to Spider-man. Great.

With a curse, he shot out of the window as the flames chasing him burst out behind him. Bending his legs, he smoothly landed on the ground, the force dulled by him unconsciously shifting the force under his feet.

Yeah, he could do that. Saved broken pavements.

As he put the two down, some paramedics came to look them over, while the chief turned to the Web-Head. "Thanks for the help, Spider-man. Good thing you came when you did."

Spider-man nodded. "No prob. By the way, do you know what time it is?"

Looking at his watch, the man answered. "Around 8:45."

Eyes widening behind his mask, Naruto began to panic. "Crap! I'm late! Gotta go!" The man watched as Spider-man shot off on a web-line, watching him leave while scratching the back of his head.

"Huh. Guess he had something important to do."

As Spider-man swung, he made a quick stop on a roof where he put his backpack. Lifting the bottom of his mask up, displaying his mouth, Naruto took a whiff of his arm, and cringed. "Agh! I smell like ash! I can't go to school smelling like this! But I can't go home and take a shower. Need another way…" Looking around for a solution, he spotted a perfume store, with a sales lady standing outside, giving a sample to bystanders. He smirked. "Bingo!"

"Excuse me."

The saleswoman jumped with a yelp as the sudden voice behind her. Turning around, her eyes widened when she saw Spider-man hanging upside down from a webline. She wasn't the only one surprised as the people around them muttered at the appearance of the spider-themed hero.

"I-I-I…" the woman stuttered, not knowing what to say. Spidey's mask wrinkled as he gave her a smile.

"Do you by chance have anything that is harmless to a spider?"

After buying his bottle of perfume ‒ ignoring the saleswoman's words on it being free ‒ Spider-man continued on his way to Midtown, all the while spraying his body, trying to get rid of the smell of ash before it got absorbed into his skin under his costume.

He hoped it worked, as he came upon the school. Landing on the roof, he quickly changed into his casual clothes. Hopping his way to the door on one foot as he tried to put his shoe on, the other one under his arm, he also continued to spray himself with the perfume. Luckily it wasn't a strong brand that would blind his sensitive nose, but enough to hopefully get rid of any lingering ashy scents.

After managing to get his shoes on, Naruto quickly entered the building and ran as fast as he could to his classroom. Looking at his watch, he cursed.

He was 30 minutes late!

Groaning as he knew what it meant, he made it to his classroom door. Standing in front of it, he debated going through the window, and using his accelerated speed to sneak to his seat while Mr. Warren's back was turned. However, he knew it was no use. Sighing, he prepared himself to his fate, and opened the door.

Entering, he got everyone's attention as they all looked at him.

Mr. Warren frowned as he looked at his star student. "Thank you for joining us, Mr. Parker."

Naruto rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "Um… sorry." He didn't give any excuse, knowing teachers hated that.

"See me after class."

Sighing, Naruto nodded. "Yes sir." He made his way to his seat, ignoring the laughter aimed at him from Flash. Sitting down in-between Mary Jane and Harry, he silently took out his materials. Harry bumped his shoulders.

"Where you been, bro?" He asked his blonde friend. "And…" He sniffed the air a bit. "Why do you smell like my fireplace?"

Naruto just groaned.

After Class

"I expect you to start coming to class on time, Mr. Parker."

Naruto nodded to his teacher. "Yes sir, Mr. Warren." He responded, before sighing when the door closed. Running a hand through his hair, he began walking towards his next class. He had just been given a lecture on how he should take more care not to arrive to class late again, as this was the second time so far he's been late. Not to mention his grades have been slipping lately, and was close to dropping. He was given a warning that the next time he was late, he would be getting detention and have his aunt called.

That was something he didn't want. If Aunt May is told about his tardiness and slipping grades, she'll get worried, make him quit the Bugle or Internship, as well as start asking him questions.

Questions he would have no way of responding to!

Last thing he wanted was to let Aunt May know about his powers and him being Spider-man.

Because 1. she would freak! And her freaking makes him freak!

And 2. She will worry about him doing dangerous stuff and force him to stop.

Yeah, Aunt May learning his secret was the verylast thing he wanted!

He shook his head. It would seem like every time he web-swung to school, there was always some crime to get in his way! Like last week, he had to stop an out-of-control car whose breaks stopped working. Normally that wouldn't be something that would take very long.

Unfortunately, it didn't end there! No! As another kicker, the occupants of the car were a couple…

With the woman being pregnant, and was in labor!

So after stopping the car, he had to swing the woman to the hospital!

Which was on the other side of Manhattan!

Yeah. That was the strike of the Parker Luck at its highest so far!

'Well, at least those accidents are calmer than having to face Vulture, Doc Ock, or Electro. Speaking of which, wonder how my favorite baddies of crime are doing in Ryker's Island?' Chuckling at the memories of kicking their asses, Naruto nodded as he saw Mary Jane and Harry ahead.

"And here's our resident prisoner now." Harry joked as MJ grabbed her boyfriend's hand, smiling at him, which he returned. "What kept you bro?"

Naruto gave Harry a tired grin. "Just the dramatics of the city. Came upon a building on fire on the way, so the road was blocked. Had to take the long way around."

Harry nodded, understanding. "Explains why you smell so ashy. For a second I thought you might have taken up smoking."

Naruto scoffed. "Please! I'm too cool to smoke!" He said, giving an arrogant grin, making MJ chuckle and Harry roll his eyes.

"Whatever 'cool dude'. You know if you ever need a ride, I can pick you up in my limo." He joked, making Naruto chuckle, recalling the first time they met.

"I'll be sure to remember that." The blonde told his friend, smiling as MJ pecked him on the cheek. However, pulling back, MJ wrinkled her nose.

"You do smell like a fireplace." She stated, making Naruto groan. Still? Great! He was going to have to sneak into his house before Aunt May caught whiff of it and started having thoughts.

"Damn Parker Luck." He grumbled as he headed to his next class, much to his friends' amusement.

After School

After a stop at his house and a shower, Naruto had finally gotten the ash smell off his clothes. Luckily, May wasn't home, having gone out shopping. This gave him time to put his costume in the wash. As he waited for that, he heated up some ramen, as well as served up some rice and chicken.

He was in a good mood. After his last class, he waited in the courtyard for MJ to walk her home. Him being out in the open made him an easy target for Flash and his pranks. Said prank being him firing water balloons at the shorter blonde from a room on the third floor.

As a former prankster, Naruto had to give him props. It would have been a good prank.

Unfortunately for Flash, Naruto's spider-senses had his back.

Flashback

Standing in the courtyard, surrounded by his fellow students, Naruto stood, bored as he waited for his girlfriend. Meanwhile, up on a classroom on the third floor, Flash and Kong chuckled as they prepared the balloons.

"Hey look. There's Parker." Kong noted. Flash chuckled as he grabbed a balloon.

"Oh yeah. Payback time for the pie in the locker, Puny Parker." He said as reeled back his arm.

Back down below, Naruto rolled his eyes around lazily, looking for any sign of MJ's red hair. Seriously, how long does it take to get your notebook you left in the classroom?

Just then, his eyes widened as his spider-senses activated. Not giving any visible movement, he glanced around for what could have activated it. All movement slowing down as his hyper-movement unconsciously activated.

A Chibi-Spidey wearing a square academic cap appeared, tapping a chalkboard with a ruler. "For those of you who may not know, Hyper-Movement is an enhanced adrenaline speed, given when in a moment of endurance, it would appear as if everything around you is slowing down. Athletes and Basketball players use this when they are running at peak adrenaline. With his Spider-Sense, Naruto can use this to his advantage, locating the danger, and acting as needed."

Following his spider-sense to the incoming danger, he located it in the form of the water balloon heading his way, thrown by Flash. Raising a brow, the whiskered blonde thought on how he should do this. Thinking, he shrugged. Why not have some fun?

So, moving back to his previous position, time resumed. Naruto bent down on a knee, pretending he was tying his shoe, as the balloon flew over him, missing him by an inch as it exploded on the ground a few feet from him.

Flash blinked, unsure as to what happened. He knew he aimed at the back of Parker's head, so how did he...?

Behind him, holding the next balloon, Kong blinked. "Dude, you missed." He said, stating the obvious.

Scowling, Flash grabbed the balloon. "It was just luck! I'll get him this time!" He then called out the window, getting the students' attention bellow. "Get ready to get wet, like the geek you are, Parker!"

Standing up, Naruto looked at Flash with a raised eyebrow, before sighing. 'Alright, time to put Eugene down a few.' "If you're so confident, hit me with your best shot, Flash!" He retorted.

Taking that challenge, Flash threw his next water balloon. Naruto responded by tilting his upper body to the left, missing the shot. Getting angry at missing again, Flash quickly reloaded and fired. Naruto hopped backwards, the balloon popping at his feet. Seeing more coming, Naruto continued to dodge them with barely any effort, merely tilting, ducking, and sidestepping the balloon.

Soon, all the students gathered around, watching the show. Glancing at them, Naruto rolled his eyes. Watching a student get bullied ‒ would this even count as bullying? ‒ always made a great form of entertainment in High School Life.

Note the sarcasm.

Now gritting his teeth at all his misses, Flash grabbed the next balloon, and putting all his football throwing skill in his arm, threw it as hard as he could at Naruto. Spider-senses alerting of the incoming projectile, Naruto turned his attention back on the task at hand. Eying the fast approaching orb, he narrowed his eyes. Back and legs, tensing, he got ready to make his move.

The water balloon was less than 5 feet away from him. It was getting closer, inch by inch. Naruto got ready.

NOW!

No one knew what happened. One second, the watchers were certain the balloon was about to hit Naruto. The next, the whiskered blonde was bending backwards, upper body bent back til it was parallel to the ground as he held himself up by an arm, as the balloon flew over him.

SPLASH!

The balloon did indeed hit a target. And that target, was none other than the principal.

...

…

"...EUGENE THOMPSON!" Eyes wide, Flash quickly hid behind the wall. Unfortunately for him, it didn't not save him. "MY OFFICE! NOW"

Mary Jane had just walked out of the school building, having retrieved her notebook she left in class, only to come upon a laughing crowd of student body. Blinking in confusion, she looked around. Spotting her boyfriend, she walked over to the laughing blonde. "Um, what did I miss?"

Looking at her, Naruto smiled, still chuckling. "Oh nothing red. Nothing at all." He said with a mysterious smile.

Mary Jane just tilted her head to the side like a puppy.

End Flashback

Chuckling at the memory, Naruto walked up the stairs to his room, food in hand. He will be meeting up with Doctor Connors and the others later at the now fully rebuilt lab. Placing the food on his bedside cabinet, he looked around for his camera, wanting to see if he had any old good pictures to give the bugle to make up for not having anything of the exploding building last night. Anything to keep Jameson from breaking his voice from shouting ‒ though he wasn't against it, if he was honest with himself.

Seeing his camera in his closet, sitting on his top shelf. Walking to it, he reached up and grabbed it. He was about to leave, when he stopped, something catching his eye. Turning his head, he saw something hidden, nudged between two shirts. Grabbing it, he pulled it out.

It was his father's leather briefcase.

Looking at it, eyes glazed, his feet seemed to move unconsciously as the moved out of his closet, and took a seat on his bed, eyes staying on the case.

He had completely forgotten about this thing. Actually, he didn't even know why he took it out. He had gone through everything in the file, and simply tossed the case aside.

For memorial sake, maybe? It did belong to his father. He didn't want to bring up bad memories, but also didn't want to throw it away either.

Pursing his lips, he scooted back till his back hit the wall, taking his food with him. Case on his lap, he began eating his ramen, all the while staring at the case; letting long old memories resurface.

Memories of times he spent with his parents. Having dinner at night, going to the park, watching movies together, etc.

He rubbed his eyes, brushing away unshed tears. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head. Finishing up his bowl, he moved on to his plate, as he grabbed the case. Opening it, dunked anything left in it.

All that came out was the CD.

Blinking, spoon in his mouth, Naruto looked at the disk. He forgot about that. Tilting his head, he picked the CD up, holding it at eye level. Narrowing his eyes, he looked at it, as if it would suddenly reveal its secrets to him.

Luckily, Man created the computer to do that for him.

Standing on, he grabbed his plates to put in the sink, before heading downstairs. Once the dishes were washed, he headed to his work lab, where he moved to his computer, and inserted the disk into the tower, and waited for it to load.

Importing files. Estimated Download time: 30 minutes

Eye twitching at that, Naruto groaned, head dropping.

BEEP!

Hearing the dryer finish, Naruto raised his head. Heading to the garage to grab his costume, Naruto took a sec to glance at the clock on the wall. He bit back a curse when he saw that he had to head to Connor's Lab. "Dammit!" Needing to hurry, Naruto raced up the steps to grab his costume, prepare his bag, and get out the door.

Once Naruto left the house, the computer in the lab beeped, the download finishing. System starting, the home screen appeared, and the File Explorer window opened up, displaying several files, with one at the top having an interesting name:

To Naruto

Later ‒ ESU

Deciding to avoid any unexpected mishaps that will force him to be even more late than he already is, Naruto took the subway to the lab. Walking out of the subway entrance in front of ESU campus, Naruto smoothed out his shirt. The train had been full of passengers, so he kept bumping into people and vice versa.

He regretted taking the subway.

Walking up the steps and heading to the lab building, he spotted Debra, who seemed to have also just gotten there. "Hey, Debs!" He greeted, holding a hand up. Looking his way, Debra rolled her eyes in amusement at the nickname Naruto seemed to have for her.

Approaching him, Debra nodded in greeting to the blonde. "Hello, Naruto. It's been a while. How have you been?"

Naruto shrugged. "Good. Same old, same old."

Debra smirked. "Really? Even with a girlfriend?" She couldn't help but tease. Naruto rolled his eyes, though a bit pink on the cheeks in embarrassment.

"Very funny, Ms. Whitman." He muttered, making Debra smirk. "But if you must know, MJ and I are doing great. Our relationship is doing great. Couldn't be happier."

Debra smiled nodding as the two walked towards lab. As they walked, Debra looked at the whiskered blonde. "Thank you, by the way."

Naruto raised a brow at her. "For what?"

"For inviting me to the dance. It was…fun." She muttered at the end, a bit embarrassed.

He chuckled, seeing the glasses wearing blonde scientist look away in embarrassment. "No problem! Glad you enjoyed it."

Debra nodded, gaining a thoughtful look. "Still, who knew that on that same night, there would be battle between Spider-man and some kind of electric man."

Naruto winced, knowing that the man he had fought was Max the electrician, an innocent man, who suffered a terrible accident. Looks like Debra didn't know.

"How do you think that electric man could do what he does? How was he able to survive having his body made of electricity? If his body is made of electricity, how can he have consciousness? Was he some sentient electrical being?"

Naruto listened as Debra went into 'nerd mode' – as called by those who weren't experts in science, like MJ, Liz, Flash, etc. – and began to try and break down Electro's capabilities. He chuckled, as he recalled doing the same during their fight, looking for a way around his attacks.

Shaking his head with a grin, he opened the door, letting Debra go in first, getting a nod of thanks, before following her inside.

Entering, Naruto paused, blinking. Nose twitching, he took soft sniffs of the air, silent enough for Debra not to notice. His enhanced senses detecting a very familiar smell.

Sweet.

Delicious.

Chocolatey.

'Cake?' He thought, wondering why he smelled cake.

The answer came, when he looked far to the side of the lab, where he saw the Connors, including Billy. Spotting the two interns, the family smiled at them. Approaching them, the two blondes saw Curt pushing a cart with a cake on top, a bottle of apple juice, and some soda.

"Ooh! Cake!" Debra noticed.

"It's chocolate!" Billy told them, smiling a large happy smile.

Stepping forward, Naruto shook Curt's hand. "What's the occasion?" He asked, before stopping, looking down. He was shaking Curt's hand. His right hand! "D-Doctor Connors! Your right hand! How?!" He asked, as beside him, Debra gasped also seeing the once missing limp.

Curt chuckled, pulling his arm back. "It's…a long story. I'll tell you about it later. For now, let's celebrate!" He said, gesturing to the cake.

As Debra and the Connors gathered around the cake to cut it, Naruto hung back, frowning.

Why were the hairs on the back of his neck standing up?

For the next few hours, the group celebrated and ate cake. While Billy was sitting at a table, playing Angry Birds on his dad's phone, the adults were conversing amongst themselves. With Debra going on about how Dr. Connor's formula would get many awards, maybe even a Nobel Prize!

Naruto chuckled at the overexcited scientist. "I think what Debra is trying to say – in her excited way – is, how did this happen? I mean, the serum wasn't even fully perfected. Not to mention we haven't even tested it." He said, before flinching when he saw Martha sending him scorching look. Crap! He forgot Curt didn't want his wife to know about their project.

Way to go mouth!

"Don't be angry with him dear. I made Naruto work on the project with me, as well as to keep it a secret." Curt came to Naruto's defense, hoping to smooth his wife's temper. He then turned to Naruto. "And I apologize, Naruto. A broken man's desire to be whole again compelled me to take extreme measures."

Naruto's eyes widened in understanding. "You used yourself as a guinea pig?! Doc! Don't you know how dangerous that is?! You've been taking imperfect, untested compounds! You could have died!" He stated in a forced whisper, not wanting Billy to hear and scare him.

Curt gave a sad smile, while Martha placed a hand on his shoulder, looking at Naruto. "Trust me, Naruto. I let Curt know just how idiotic he was for doing what he did. So far, thankfully, there haven't been any dangerous side-effects. But we'll have to keep a close watch, monitor everything and keep note." She looked at the two interns. "For now, we can't let anyone know about Curt's new arm. So I trust you'll keep quiet about this?"

Naruto and Debra nodded. "We promise."

Curt stood up, looking at the three. "Alright, let's all calm down. I feel fine! Better than before in fact! The serum worked."

"But how can we be sure?" Naruto asked. He knew firsthand how having animal DNA injected inside of you could have unexpected side-effects. Naruto – presumably – got off lucky. Only getting the abilities of a spider, and NOT getting turned into something monstrous like a giant spider or something (thank god!).

But who knows what Connors injecting unperfected lizard DNA (mixed with all sorts of other components) into his body could do to him! They have yet to complete or stabilize the formula. They planned to attempt animal testing on the lab rats.

Who knows what that serum could do to a human?!

"Trust me Naruto. It worked. The proof is right here!" He listed his newly reformed right arm as the proof needed. "Call it, a 'scientific gut feeling'. All those tests and planning weren't for nothing. But if it makes you all feel better, I'll do daily check-ups on the serum and arm." He said, getting a kiss on the cheek from Martha.

Still, Naruto frowned. 'It's not the arm I'm worried about. It's what in you that worries me.'

"I don't know, MJ. While I'm happy Dr. Connors has his arm back and is happy, a part of me can't help but get a bad feeling about all of this." Naruto said as he sat on the window sill of MJ's bedroom, facing out as he enjoyed the cool night air brushing against his face.

MJ looked at him from the bed, as she put a piece of cake in her mouth. Naruto was given extra pieces of cake to share with Aunt May and MJ "Is it your spider-sense?" She asked after swallowing. Naruto, however, shook his head.

"Not exactly. It's more…of a foreboding feeling. Like a tingling feeling on the back of your neck. I don't know. It's like…something bad is about to happen. I had the same feeling at the dance, with Electro."

"Could it be because he took the serum?" She asked, seeing how thoughtful Naruto was about this, and wanted to help him.

Naruto nodded as he looked up at the night sky. "How could he take the serum? We weren't finished with it, or had it tested. Something like that could be dangerous. Fortunately, he seems fine."

Mary Jane shrugged as she ate another piece. "Maybe he's lucky like you. You said it yourself, test subjects injected with the Cross Species formula died. And he's alive, like you when that spider bit you." She said as she scooted back to lean back against the wall.

Looking at her over his shoulder, Naruto turned around to lean against the window frame. "But I was only given a small injection via the bite, and was in a coma for weeks. Who knows how large of a dose he gave himself?! I don't know, MJ. It feels like we're missing something, and it's going to cost us."

MJ frowned, seeing the worried look on her boyfriend's face. Putting down her plate, she stood up and walked towards him. She sat down on the frame beside him. "Hey! Don't worry, Web Head. Maybe you're just thinking too hard on this. And if you're right, Spider-man can stop it." She told him, before turning around and laying her back on his front, laying her head on his chest. "Now, stop filling that head of yours with thoughts, and focus on the present. Okay? You need to stop filling that cute brain with worry."

Naruto smiled softly at her, nodding as he wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on the top of her head. She was right, he shouldn't be thinking about all of this now. He could do that later, as he goes on his nightly patrol. For now, all he should be focusing on is her. "You're right, MJ. Thanks." He said, cupping her chin and raised her head to face him. Smiling at her, Naruto leaned down and pressed her lips against hers, making her give a soft hum at the contact. As she closed her eyes to savor the feeling, Naruto smirked into the kiss and pressed harder into it.

However, their moment was interrupted, as Naruto sudden pulled his head back, breaking their kiss. MJ frowned, wondering why he did that, while Naruto turned his head around, looking out at the dark neighborhood. His hearing picking up the sounds of sirens.

His eyes moving to the city in the distance, Naruto looked back at the redhead, giving her a sheepish grin as he rubbed the back of his head. "Um…MJ?"

She groaned, dropping her head. "Only in New York…" she muttered, before fanning her hand lazily at him. "Fine. Go on, be a hero."

Giving her one last sheepish smile, and soft peck on the lips, Naruto dropped backward out of the wind, before a second later, he shot upward up to the roof in his Spidey Suit, his regular clothes being thrown through his open window as he swung down the streets.

Looking after him, MJ shook her head with a smile, leaning against the frame.

Making it to the city, Spider-man found the trail of police cars and followed them, the radio on his earpiece letting him know it was a bank robbery.

As he swung past buildings, he never took note of a figure standing on top of a rooftop, watching him through binoculars.

"Hmm, so that's Spider-man." Lowering the scopes, the figure smirked. "I've got my eyes on you, Mister Spider-man."

Later that Night – Connor's Residence

With his wife and son asleep, Curt was currently in his private room/home lab, going over some last minute notes. Right now, he was going over and checking the status of his notes supply for his other projects.

He had lost a lot of stuff – equipment, supplies, and notes – in Electro's attack on his lab, and need to see just how far back that set him.

The results were displeasing.

Rummaging through his papers, Curt slammed them down on his desk in anger. "I've lost so many of my notes! At least 75%!" He gritted, glaring at the papers in anger. "So much time, and money. Wasted! Why did they have to fight in my lab!" He hissed. His anger seemed to have an effect, as his pupils sharpened to slits.

He then suddenly stopped, hissing as he doubled over in sudden pain that coursed through his body. Placing his right hand on the wall to keep himself standing, he gritted his teeth – which had suddenly sharpened – as he tried to hold in the shout of pain as his whole body seemed to go into a shockwave, starting from his right arm and working its way to the rest of his body.

He bit down on his lip, drawing blood, as he tried to will the pain back. Luckily, through great force of will, it seemed to work, as moments later, the pain soon left, leaving him panting, as his unnoticed feature changes returned to normal.

Running a hand through his sweat dampened hair, Curt shakily stood up. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head. He was unsure as to why that had happened, but simply brushed it off as his body still getting used to and stabilizing with his newly reformed arm. Simply the nerves connecting and running tests.

Nothing more.

Sighing, Curt decided to take a shower, and go to bed. Shutting the light off, he left the room.

Back in the room, Curt didn't notice the four deep gashes running down the wall, made from the long claws he didn't see growing from his fingernails.

The Next Day

The door to the Parker Residence opening, Naruto stepped inside, followed by Mary Jane, school ending.

"I can't believe Flash tried to prank you again. Didn't he learn his lesson in detention yesterday?" MJ muttered, shaking her head in exasperation. Naruto chuckled as he closed the door.

"You know Flash, MJ. Barely anything in that thick head of his." Both sharing a laugh, they entered the kitchen where they saw Aunt May at the table, a cup of coffee in her grasp. Seeing the two, she gave them a welcoming smile.

"Hey you two! How was school?"

Naruto huffed. "Boring, brain numbing, feeling like my very soul was being sucked out by those books and lectures…"

May smirked. "As long as you keep your grades up, I say it's doing its job." She chuckled at Naruto's pout. Getting up, she patted her nephew's cheek. "I'm just kidding honey...but still, keep your grades up, or else." She smiled at him.

Naruto didn't need his spider-sense to know not to take his aunt's threat lightly. He chuckled nervously, sweats dropping. "Um, you got it Aunt May." Pecking her cheek, he headed to the fridge to find something to eat. Inside, he saw some leftover ramen cups. "Sweet! MJ, want some ramen?"

"Pork please." The redhead called out as she and May walked into the living room. Sitting on the sofa, the two females passed time by watching the news or some soap operas, or holding conversations. Minutes later, Naruto walked out of the kitchen, using a cutting board to hold three bowls of ramen - one for MJ, the other two for him, knowing that while she liked to eat ramen sometimes, she wasn't going to eat more than one bowl, unlike him, who was a glutton for it (her words).

Sitting down on the couch beside his girlfriend, Naruto passed her her bowl. Taking his own, he sat back as MJ leaned against his side, laying her head on his shoulder as the two watched the television, the current news detailing recent crimes happening in New York or other stories.

Beside them, May smiled happily at the two, thanking the Heavens the two found comfort in each other's arms. 'Oh Ben, I hope you are watching over these two. While I wish you could have seen them get together in person, I know you are glad Naruto has someone special in his life.' She silently prayed, before turning back to the news, which began covering crimes stopped by Spider-man, as well as the still missing Avengers, who hadn't been seen by the public for several months.

Half an hour later, Naruto and Mary Jane went down to his basement lab, while May went to get started on the laundry then dinner for the three of them. MJ offered to help, but the kind woman declined, not wanting the redhead to over work herself.

MJ raised a brow as she looked at the set of chemicals laid out on the work table. Picking one up, and holding it to eye-level, she looked at Naruto. "What's this?"

Said blonde was changing the filter in his camera. Pausing, he looked her way. Seeing what she was holding, he understood. "Careful." Walking over, he gently took the vial from her, and placed it in the beaker holder. "I'm trying to mix chemicals with my webbing compounds to see if I can generate different attributes. For example, one type I'm trying to get is webbing that is resistant to electrical currents. It would help me if I ever come across another lightning user, like Electro. Maybe even fire-proof webbing, or constricting webbing. Who knows?" He shrugged.

"Cool." MJ said, nodding at the great plan. Looking around, she walked to the main computer to check the news website on any major crimes happening around the city or the social chatroom concerning thoughts of Spider-man.

As was her role as (self-appointed) manager of Team Spider.

Waking the computer up from sleep mode, MJ blinked at the window she saw on the screen. "Naruto?" She called, getting the blonde's attention. "What's this?"

Walking over, Naruto looked over her shoulder at the screen. Seeing what was on the screen, he blinked, eyes widening a bit in remembrance. "That's right! I totally forgot!" He muttered, making MJ look up at him in confusion. "Yesterday I found a CD in my father's briefcase that I forgot about. I decided to see what it was and uploaded it. But with the news of Dr. Connor's regrown arm, I forgot to check out the files." He explained, his eyes looking at the file addressed to him.

MJ got out of the seat and let Naruto take it. Standing behind him so she could look over his shoulder, Naruto clicked open the folder.

Inside the folder, they saw several more folders and files. Some were notes on the Cross Species Project. Some journals, and even photos. Then Naruto saw a video file, saying "PLAY ME".

Sharing a glance with Mary Jane, Naruto opened the video file. The media player opening, the two saw the video start and saw the face of Richard Parker on screen, making them gasp softly.

"Dad?" Naruto muttered in shock.

Richard licked his dry lips as he looked at the recording cam. "Hello, Naruto." He began, making the two blink in surprise. "If everything has been done the way I hope, your Uncle Ben should have given you this file on your 18th birthday, and Happy Birthday by the way, but if not...then something went wrong. I won't lie...I had hoped this video would have never been played, and instead your mother and I are with you. But...I knew it was a fool's hope, and...because of this foolish man, you have lost your mother and father."

Naruto raised a brow in confusion. Why was his father blaming himself for his and his mother's deaths? What did he mean 'because of him'?

Richard gave a deep sigh, taking off his glasses as he ran a hand down his face. Taking a moment of silence, he focused back on the camera, putting his glasses back on.

"I am truly sorry, Naruto. Most boys are supposed to look up to their fathers, wishing to grow up to be great men like them...but the truth is, I am not a great man. I have made many mistakes in my life, made deals with the wrong people, and did things that endangered my family. So many mistakes...but know, Naruto, that when I found you and decided to take you in, that was not a mistake, or anything that I regret! I love you, Naruto, as does your mother. You have been the light in our darkest hour, and we could not have asked for a better one." Richard said, smiling at the camera.

Smiling at Naruto.

Naruto bit his lip, his eyes stinging as he tried to hold back a sob at his father's words. He felt MJ place a hand on his shoulder as a few tears slid down his cheek. Pausing the video, he rubbed his arm over his eyes as soft sniffs sounded out. Taking a deep breath, he held back his cries as he continued the video.

Richard frowned, sighing. "My son…whatever lies will be told about me after I'm...gone, I would like the world to know the truth. For you to know the truth. I have discovered that Norman Osborn made a deal with a foreign military organization in return for providing them with genetic research. My research. And I discovered what they were going to use it for. Weapons. Biological weapons, of course. However, I was found out before I could do anything, and Norman approached me. He offered to help him with it, and in his words, "Help change the world for the better". However, I knew better. Norman was a snake. He is a man that enjoys having power and control. And if he got his hands on my research, the world would be in danger. So I refused. And now, to eliminate me from the picture, Norman Osborn had falsified evidence against me in order to take control of my work. But it doesn't matter because there's something else... something that Norman doesn't know."

Naruto and MJ blinked at that and leaned closer to the screen.

"As you may or may not know, I worked on a special project. I worked with a team of friends, such as Curt Connors. Our work was to figure out a way to implant a human with the special attributes of animals, such as healing, speed, strength, and agility. However, the overall project was deemed a failure, as we could not figure out a way to stabilize the strands together. After much thinking and planning, I had an idea. What if instead of injecting animal DNA into a human...we injected human DNA into an animal, and use that new mixed blood to inject into human. And the results, were spectacular! 3 out of 10 samples stabilized! While not 100%, it was an improvement! However, it was still not perfect, as the human DNA would become overpowered by the animal and dissolved. However, I would not give up. I continued to look for a way...and unfortunately, I found it."

Naruto frowned as he saw his father sigh, looking older than he was for a moment, old and tired.

"Naruto...my dear son. Forgive this foolish man for what he has done. It was an accident, I did not wish for things to go this way. I was a fool to do what I did."

Naruto grew more and more confused as he watched his continue to berate himself. What was he blaming himself for? In his head, he could hear Kyuubi chuckle darkly, as if it knew a juicy secret he didn't.

"I managed to find a human DNA that was successfully able to bond itself with the animal DNA, and achieve a union. The results were amazing. They showed a 92.6% genetic formation between human and animal. And the human DNA that I implanted in the spiders...was your own, Naruto."

The teens froze, staring at the screen in shock.

"Wh-what?" Naruto muttered, trying to comprehend what he just heard.

"You were always a special kid, Naruto. In more ways than one. You were always a mystery to me, all starting with how I found you."

Naruto frowned at that. He was told by May and Ben that his dad found him in an alley, his parents killed in a mugging as far as anyone knew.

"I'm sure your aunt and uncle told you some story about your birth parents being killed in an alley or something, right?" He said, making Naruto sweatdrop. "Well, it's better than the truth. After all, reality is stranger than fiction, however the truth can be labeled as equal in both. You see Naruto, you weren't found in an alley. No, instead, you were found in an underground cavern in an Asian forest, in the embrace of your dying parents, contained in some kind of status energy field."

"..."

"...EEH!?" Both teens shouted at once, shocked at the news they just heard.

Richard chuckled, shaking his head. "Yeah, didn't expect that. But that's how I found you, and when I stepped closer, the field seemed to have vanished, and next thing I heard, were your cries…" He stopped, a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if debating something. "...Your mother, holding you tightly in her arms, was barely alive when she saw me. She asked me, begged me, to take care of you. Her last wish. And I agreed. I gave your parents a proper burial, and took you home with me. And the rest is history. But back to the matter at hand. You see Naruto, one day, when you were very young so you probably don't remember, you accidentally cut yourself playing with my tools. Heh, you wouldn't believe how worried we were and how we jumped when we heard your cries. Anyway, we were about to bandage your cut, when something amazing happened. Your cut, began to heal itself! In just a few seconds, it was gone! No scars or anything! Me, being the natural curious scientist that I am, couldn't help but to find out how that was possible. Sure, we knew of the rumored existence of mutants, and lingered the thought that you were one - not that we cared, of course. We would have loved you either way! - so I took a blood sample of you, and examined it. What I saw was incredible! Your cells, while appearing normal, seemed to have been made up of a genetic material I've never seen before. And me, in my foolish scientific pride, couldn't help but experiment with the sample. All results came back with incredible news, and with inspiration, I used your blood sample with the Cross Species Project, and wouldn't you know it, DNA synchronization came out 100% positive! Without you, my son, my work could never have been finished. However, it was then that I learned of the grave mistake of what I had done. If Norman found out about you, and how special you were, he would stop at nothing to capture you and use you for his evil deeds. And that, as your father, was something I could NOT allow to happen. So I erased all evidence leading to you. Without you, without your bloodline, Oscorp can never replicate or continue my experiments. The Cross Species Project serums would only work perfectly for you! Anyone else would have severe side-effects. I have destroyed as much of my notes from the archives as possible. But I didn't have time to kill all of the spiders. So as a scientist, my choice is very clear now. I have to disappear. Lead the trail as far from you as possible. I had to get as far away from here as I can. But as a father, it means I may never see you again. And nothingis as important to me as you, Naruto. Nothing in this world. But I have a responsibility to protect the world from what I've created, and to protect you from what I know Osborn is capable of. People will say I am a monster, for what I've done. And maybe they're right. I always thought that I'd have more time. I'm sorry."

As the video ended, the couple sat in silence, staring at the screen as they tried to comprehend what they had just learned.

Naruto closed his eyes, rubbing his head, while MJ shook her head in disbelief. After a moment of silence, the two went over what they learned.

One, Naruto's blood was used to form the Cross Species Serum, and apparently, he and those of his blood were the only ones that it will work on. Which sorta explained how he was able to gain his powers.

Two, apparently, Naruto was not found in an alley, but in a cavern, in some sort of force field with his dead parents.

Yeah...that's some crazy shit if they ever heard it.

Naruto frowned, getting more questions than ever before. The chuckle rumbling in his head made his frown deepen. 'What do you know, fox?'

"Hehehe. More than you would ever know, boy." Kyuubi chuckled darkly. "So many secrets about your past, where you came from, and what you really are. You don't even know."

Naruto gritted his teeth, glaring, getting really tired of the fox's shit. 'Then why don't you just tell me, instead of being an asshole?!'

Kyuubi ignored the remark. "Don't feel like it." It said, before cutting the connection off.

'Kyuubi? Kyuubi!' He called out, but only got silence. 'Bastard fox!' But it was no use.

MJ looked at her boyfriend, and seeing the annoyed expression on his face, made her worry, thinking the discovery was the cause of it. "Naruto, are you okay?"

Snapping out if his thoughts, Naruto looked over his shoulder at the redhead, and seeing the worried look she aimed at him, made him feel guilty. Taking a deep breath, he sighed. "I don't know, MJ. I...I'm so confused." Honestly, he felt exhausted, the video and message from his father and big reveals leaving him drained, and more confused than ever.

MJ frowned, wishing she could do something to help her blonde feel better. But what can you do after that?! Moving behind him, she placed her hands on his shoulder, and began to gently rub them, making him groan. Leaning down, she rested her forehead in his messy hair. "I know I can't understand what you are going through, Whiskers. But know that I'm here for you."

Naruto gently smiled. He knew he could always count on her. She always had his back. Leaning his head back to rest on the cushion, he smiled as he and MJ locked eyes.

MJ returned his smile, as her hair fell over them, covering their faces in curtains of red. Blue and Green meeting, MJ lowered her face, and locked lips with Naruto's in a 69-kiss. Naruto moaned as he felt MJ's tongue brush against his teeth, asking for entry. MJ always had a bit of a wild side, and looks like this included kissing as well. So, mentally shrugging, he allowed it and spread his teeth, allowing the redhead's tongue to enter his mouth, and begin battling his own.

While it may look like they were going a bit too fast in their relationship, it was far from that, as the two knew they were still too young to cross that bridge. But that didn't mean they could take a few steps.

Besides, Naruto knew MJ was doing this to comfort him, and was cautious on how far they went. Additionally, she felt embarrassed by her own daring more. Evidence given by her erupting emotions, and the great shade of red her face took.

Alas, all good things must come to an end, as the need for air forced them to separate, slightly panting with burning cheeks. Biting her lip in embarrassment, MJ rolled her eyes away from Naruto, making him smirk in amusement, which she saw, making her blush grow. Chuckling, Naruto closed his eyes. 'Well, it worked. I do feel better, even if just a little. Still, so many questions. Why was I and my birth parents found in a cavern? What does Kyuubi know? What is Kyuubi anyway, and why is he inside me? Just...who am I?'

And with Kyuubi being an asshole and keeping him in the dark, Naruto will just have to find the answers himself…

Joy

But pushing the thoughts about his origin aside for now, Naruto focused on the other part of his father's message. From what his father said…

Norman Osborn might have had a hand in their deaths.

He gritted his teeth, trying his best to hold back the primal growl that threatened to claw out of his throat, as his eyes flashed crimson - luckily MJ didn't noticed as she was still looking away in embarrassment.

Now, while the blonde would like nothing more than to charge to Osborn's home or office, and beat the tar out of the man - or tear his throat apart with his claws - the rational part of Naruto's mind persuaded him to calm down and think things through. He couldn't make any moves on a powerful man like Norman. As neither Naruto nor Spider-man, who knew the disasters that would come if Spider-man suddenly assaulted Norman and the media found out.

Naruto Parker would go to jail for assault.

And Spider-man would be hunted down.

Yeah, neither option sounded good.

Not to mention, that he didn't have any evidence that Norman did have a hand in his parent's deaths, so he couldn't go to the police.

So, he had no choice but to stay his hand.

Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Naruto took a deep breath to calm himself, idly rubbing his clawed index finger against his pants. Shaking his head, he turned his thoughts to the other discovery.

His father used his blood to finalize the Cross Species Project. Was he shocked? Yes. Annoyed? Oh yeah. Mad? A little bit. Confused. You bet your ass he was. So he was different before the spider bite?

He knew he healed fast, but chalked it up as being a product of his spider-power. But apparently not, so there was a food for thought. Yet another mystery on the secret origins of one Naruto Parker.

He would blame this on his Parker Luck, but looks like its more the fault of his "Naruto Luck".

Rubbing his forehead to stave off the headache, he laid his head back to get at least a few minutes of peaceful silence.

. . . .

Not even a full five seconds later, his eyes snapped open, widening, as he recalled what his father said:

"Without you, without your bloodline, Oscorp can never replicate or continue my experiments. The Cross Species Project serums would only work perfectly for you! Anyone else would have severe side-effects."

He then felt his blood turn cold, as he remember something very important.

Curt has taken the serum as well.

…

"...Oh shit."

"AAAAAAHHHHH!"

The sound of MJ screaming in his ear, as well as the tight grasp she had on him, as Naruto swung as fast as he could towards ESU Labs, not even wearing the Spider-man suit. He had to get there as fast as he could! He had to!

'Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT! I'm such a fool! I never should have told Curt about the Decay Rate Algorithm! Never should have gotten him working on the Cross Project! Naruto, you idiot!' He continued to berate himself as he swung across the high buildings, with the still screaming MJ clenching her eyes shut. When Naruto had rushed out of the house, saying something about needing to get to Curt Connors as fast as he could, she volunteered to go with him. Naruto tried to deny her, saying it would be dangerous if, quoting him, "Shit might hit the fan in the worst way possible". But Mary Jane Watson was nothing, if not stubborn, and argued about going anyway.

Naruto, not wanting to waste time arguing, agreed.

Now she was regretting it.

While, sure, MJ has swung through the city before, usually to get to school on time or early, but never this fast!

"Slow down!" She shouted, but was ignored.

He had to make it there before it was too late!

Too late for what, he could only dread.

To MJ's relief, the two made it to ESU. Landing in the empty courtyard, with MJ instantly separating herself from Naruto, groaning as she resisted the urge to hurl, Naruto wasted no time and ran to the lab building, with a groaning MJ behind him, holding her aching stomach.

Running to the lab, where he just somehow knew Curt to be in, Naruto slammed the doors open, startling those inside.

Looking at the new arrival, Curt was surprised to see Naruto, a strange look on his face. "Naruto? Is something wrong? Isn't today one of your off days?" He asked, as he saw the panting form of the redhead he remembered as Naruto's friend, enter the room as well.

Naruto froze, rational thoughts now taking hold. What was he going to say? What was he going to do? In his rush to head to ESU, he had completely neglected to come up with a plan for what he would do when he got there. Actually, now that he thought about it, he didn't really know what he was expecting. Perhaps Curt turning into some grotesque monster? Or maybe finding him on the floor, dying?

But no, instead he is greeted to the form of a normal Curt, restored arm and everything.

'And now, I'm just standing here, looking like an idiot.' He thought as he looked at the confused stares of Martha and Debra. Eyes shifting, he looked around and didn't see Billy, who would usually be taken to work with his parents. Not spotting the little blonde boy, suggested he was either at a friend's house, or had a babysitter watching him at home.

His whiskers began to turn red in tone, as he realized that he was standing there, not saying anything. And the longer he was quite, the more embarrassed he was becoming.

Behind him, MJ finally caught her breath and noticed this, and facepalmed.

Very muched embarrassed, Naruto stood up straight, clearing his throat with a cough into his fist as he tried to appear like his little entrance didn't happen.

Unfortunately for him, the red on his cheeks ruined that image.

He raised his hand at them. "Yo." He greeted, making MJ groan into her hand. 'Damn it Naruto."

"Naruto, what are you doing here?" Curt asked, confused as to why the whiskerd intern was doing here so late.

Naruto smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. "Um, you see...I... wanted to talk to you, Dr. Connors."

Curt raised a brow. "And this couldn't wait till tomorrow?"

Naruto glanced at Curt's right arm, and felt the familiar foreboding light buzzing in the back of his head. Looking back at Curt, Naruto shook his head. "Sorry, but no. It's really important."

Looking confused, Curt look at the serious look on Naruto's face, before nodding. "Alright, well, if it's that important, let's talk in my office." He gestured the way.

Nodding, Naruto glanced back at MJ. Exchanging looks, Naruto nodded to her, his eyes telling her to prepare if things turn bad.

As Naruto followed Curt, MJ approached Martha and Debra, greeting them.

Curt's Office

Closing the door behind him, Curt turned to Naruto. "Alright, Naruto. What's so important that you had to barge through those doors?"

Naruto opened his mouth, but closed it seconds later. Once more opening it, then shut it closed. Groaning, he turned around, rubbing the back of his head. Just what was he going to say? What could he say?

"Hey Curt, so listen. Apparently my dear old dad used my blood to finalize the Cross Species Serum, so it only seems to work perfectly on me. And given that you have been injecting yourself with the serum mixed with lizard DNA, there is a 50-50 chance you will either die, or be turned into a monster. So, how was your night?"

Oh yeah, that will work swell.

Curt watched the blonde teen pace around the room in confusion. 'What's up with him?' He thought, before flinching, feeling jolts of electricity suddenly pulse through his body, starting from his arm. He gasped, doing his best to not kneel over in pain.

The feeling lasted for a while, before vanishing, leaving Curt panting slightly. He's been getting those jolts lately, but chalked it up to his body still adjusting to his his new nerves.

Naruto didn't take notice of this, too busy trying to figure out what to say. It would be easier, if his stupid spider-senses would stop buzzing through his head. 'I get it! There might be trouble! Would you just go away?!'

The door suddenly opened, and Martha poked her head in. "What are you boy's talking about in here?" She asked, entering.

Curt looked at her. "Not sure, Naruto seems to have trouble with his words." Looking at the struggling blonde, Martha spoke.

"Naruto, what is this all about?"

Looking at her, Naruto rubbed the back of his neck. Taking a deep breath, he figured he should just come out with it. Looking at Curt, he started. "Doctor Connors, listen, we made a mistake. A HUGE mistake!" He said, making them look at him with great confusion. "The project was not finished. Far from it, in fact!"

"Naruto, what are you talking about? The serum worked." Curt said, lifting his right arm as evidence. But Naruto shook his head.

"No, please listen...I think the arm was just the beginning stage."

Martha shook her head in confusion. "Naruto, you are not making any sense."

Naruto sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I know, I know, but just listen to me. What's happening now, it's not over. The arm is just the start. The serum inside of you, the DNA strands, they're changing you."

Martha had enough. "Naruto, stop. What are you talking about? Are you saying Curt is, what, mutating?"

Nodding, Naruto looked at the two seriously. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The imperfect serum would normally kill the subject. Since Curt's alive and all, I guess it would be the second option.

Shaking her head at the nonsense she was hearing, Martha raised her hand to prevent any more words from Naruto. "Okay, this is just insane. What you are saying is insane. You're saying that my husband is going to become a monster? Do you have any idea of how crazy that sounds? How can you think that that idea of yours is true?!"

"Because, look at him." Naruto stated, pointing at Curt. Martha followed his finger, and looked at Curt, who was rubbing his arms fast, as if he was cold.

"Brrrr!" Curt shivered. "Can we turn down the AC? It's getting pretty cold."

Eyes widening, Martha narrowed her eyes at her husband. "Take off your shirt, Curt."

Curt look at her like she was crazy. "Are you kidding? It's freezing in here." The hard look his wife gave him, forced him to comply. "Alright." Taking off his lab coat first, Curt then took off his shirt, turning around. Naruto's and Martha's eyes widen at what they saw.

At least half of Curt's back were covered in scales, the same with his right arm.

Martha gasped, covering her mouth, while Naruto curse under his breath.

Curt turned sideways, looking at them in confusion. "What?"

"Just what is happening to Dr. Connors?" Debra asked as she looked at the sample taken of Curt's DNA, seeing how the lizard DNA began to overtake Connor's human ones, as the scientists and MJ gathered together in the lab, the redhead standing to the side so as to not get in the way of the scientists as they worked.

"Lizard DNA is more primitive than human's." Martha explained as she looked at the results on the computer screen from the scan he took of Curt. "The more it spreads through Curt's body, the more it overwrites the previous human functions. Already DNA has spread itself to his brain, and is growing at a fast rate." She said, looking at Curt, who sat in front of a chalkboard, trying to write formulas, but was having trouble as his hands shook, before the chalk snapped in half from the pressure put on it.

Curt sighed, holding his head. "It's growing." He said, grunting as more jolts coursed through his body. "I'm (ergh!) regressing!" He clenched his chest in pain. "I can feel the change! URGH!" He doubled over from the pain, making Martha run towards him.

"Curt! Take it easy! You have to keep a clear head. You have to fight it!"

"I-urgh!-I can't! It's too strong! You have to hurry...I'm losing control!"

"There has to be something we can do!" Debra exclaimed.

Naruto frowned, racking his head to try and think of something. "Wait...what if we injected human DNA into him? Use it to push back the animal one?"

Debra looked at him. "The formula creates new reptile sequences faster than we could I.D. them. And they continue to multiply and spread by the second. Even if we could somehow stop it in its tracks, it would only be a matter of time before it adapted and overtook the new DNA. Besides, there's no guarantee that using random DNA would work."

"Wait!" Martha spoke up, getting their attention. "That could work! If we can come up with a serum to overcome the animal dna, it might be enough to cleanse the body of the foreign DNA. A...Gene...Cleanser!"

Curt grunted as he had his arm around Martha's shoulder to hold him up. "Yes...yes, why didn't I think of that before! My notes! It should have all the data we need. But random human DNA won't work. And neither would my original blood. The Lizard DNA would just mutate that as well. We need the right one to fight it."

Naruto frowned. 'What about my blood? If it was used to stabilize the original formula, could it stabilize Curt's version? But my blood is mutated as well, and I don't know how to locate any before the spider-bite. I could check blood centers, but that would take too long. Damn it, there has to be something I can do!'

"So, the cleanser would remove any non-human DNA." Debra figured out. Naruto's eyes widened at that, his mind working out solutions.

'Even Spider DNA! That's it! If I inject myself with the cleanser, it would remove my spider blood, and turn it human. Then I can mix it with the cleanser and use it to make a cure for Connors...but...that would mean getting rid of my spider powers. No more Spider-man…'

He stood there, silent, as the scientists began trying to figure out how to get the right DNA. Mary Jane was the only one to see the conflicted look on Naruto's face, and walked towards him, standing beside him. "What's wrong, Tiger?" She whispered.

Frowning, Naruto looked at her. "My blood...it might be the cure to help Dr. Connors."

"That's great!" She said, before seeing the look on his face. "Right?"

Naruto nodded softly, looking down at the floor. "Yes...but, that would mean taking the cleanser, and removing the spider DNA inside me. Meaning...I have to give up being Spider-man." he revealed, making her eyes widen in shock.

"...what are you going to do?" She asked him. Naruto's frown deepened.

"I don't know."

While it might look like an easy decision to make, to save his friend and mentor, but it would mean the cost of giving up what made him Spider-man.

In his time being Spider-man, he grew to love it. Being Spider-man, it felt like it was a part of him.

Could he really remove that part of himself?

With Great Power came Great Responsibility...but did he have the will to give up that power?

To give up Spider-man?

"ARGH!"

The sudden shout knocked him out of his thoughts, as he and MJ looked up. They saw Curt Connors shout, moving back in clear pain, wrapping his arms around himself.

"Curt!" Martha called out, holding him.

"It's...too late. I'm sorry, Martha. I...never wanted this to happen. I'm...so sorry."

"Curt, please fight it!"

"I...can't! I...have made...a terrible...mistake. ARGH!" Pushing his wife away, Curt gave a loud yell as he began to change before their very eyes. His skin began to grow green scales over the flesh, while his nails grew and lengthened, sharpening into deadly claws. Cracks were heard, as his bones snapped and changed. His hands and feet grew bigger and his fingers and toes grew longer. His hair seemed to sink into his scalp and his eyes snapped open, revealing mustard yellow eyes as the pupils sharpened. His mouth stretched as wide as possible in his yell, and they watched as his teeth sharpened and grew. Soon his very head began to change, as the face and jaw began to painfully stretched forward, becoming a reptilian snout. A ripping echoed through the room, as from his tail bone, a long and large lizard tail shot out.

In the end, where the respectable genetic scientist once stood, was a large, bipedal alligator-like creature, wearing a tattered lab coat and shredded pants. Staring at them with soul piercing golden eyes, the creature threw his head back, and let out a glass shattering roar.

Pulling MJ back behind him, Naruto slowly backed up from the now Lizard monster the once respected genetic scientist has now become.

Glancing at the horrified Debra and Martha, he muttered to them, as the Lizard creature just stood there, silent. "Guys, get back. Now."

Hearing him, Debra slowly stepped back, keeping her steps silent so as to not draw the Lizard's attention.

Martha, however, was not having it, as she slowly stepped towards the creature her husband has become, ignoring Naruto's protests.

"Curt?" She called softly, holding her hand out to him. "Curt, can you hear me? Don't you recognize me?"

Suddenly, the Lizard snapped its head up, letting out another roar, before it jumped and landed on a table, swatting the stuff on it to the ground, before leaping at some lab equipment on the side. With its razor sharp claws, it destroyed the machine.

"RAAAGH!"

"Oh god!" MJ muttered as she watched the Lizard going around, destroying equipment.

'It's official. Shit hit the fan, big time.' Naruto thought grimly.

"Curt! Please, stop!" Martha called out to her husband, drawing its attention. Naruto's eyes widened when he saw this, even more when the Lizard leaped at Martha, claws out and mouth wide open.

"Mrs. Connors! Look out!"

Drawing out a bit of his spider-speed, Naruto ran towards them, and managed to tackle Martha out of the way in time as the Lizard passed them, landing on another table. Its head snapping towards them, the Lizard stared at Naruto with its golden slitted eyes. It's new primal instincts notifying it of this being smelling similar to that of a spider, but had a predatorial feeling coming from it, and warned it that it would be best to stay away from it for its own survival.

And so, letting out one final roar, the Lizard leaped high into the air, breaking the sunroof glass, before moving away, leaving behind the shocked spectators.

Seeing the mutated man gone, Naruto cursed himself. He has just unintentionally helped a man mutate himself, and now said man has escaped to who knows where.

Getting up, he helped Martha up. "You okay?"

Martha nodded in thanks. "Yes, but Curt…"

He placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll follow the Doc and call you when I find him. In the meantime, you and Debra get to work on at least getting the Gene Cleanser made." He said, getting a nod.

Looking at Mary Jane, he approached her. "MJ, I need you to head to my lab and keep me posted on the monitor. If there is a 5 foot tall giant lizard going around New York, no doubt word will spread. If needed, I will need you to guide me in the right direction." He whispered to her quietly so Martha and Debra didn't overhear.

MJ nodded, passing him his bag she had been holding. "Okay, good luck Tiger." Kissing his cheek, she left the building, Naruto exiting seconds later to look for a place to change.

'How hard could it be to find a gator in New York?'

"Now, if I were a 6'5" lizard, instead of a 5'6" spider, where would I hide?" Spider-man muttered as he swung through the building. Making a turn, he saw that the streets below were a mess. "Guess the Doc's been busy." Landing on a street light, he looked around for any sign of the Lizard.

Suddenly, he heard screams. Looking in the direction of where they were coming from, he saw people running out of the subway entrance in fright. "Ah, underground." Leaping, he dove into the entrance.

Down in the subway center, a guardsman was shooting at the Lizard, as people around them ran screaming. The Lizard hissed at the man as it dodged the bullets with its incredible agility. Getting close, it swatted the gun out of the guard's hand. Knocking the man down, the Lizard opened its jaw, saliva dripping from it as he charged to take a bite.

However, it was stopped in its tracks as Spider-man kicked it away. "Sorry pal, no eating in the subway." He landed in front of the man, who got up and ran away. Getting up, the Lizard hisses at Spider-man before charging at him. Ducking under a claw swipe, Spidey grabbed the arm and threw him over his shoulder at the wall. "Sorry Doc. I don't want to hurt you. Now what do you say you just calm down, and we get you back to the lab to get you fixed, alright?"

His answer was a roar, and an attempted bite, which he dodged by leaping into the air. Landing on a pillar, Spidey looked at the hissing reptile. "Okay, guess we've got to do things the hard way." He launched web-bullets at the Lizard, hoping to trap him. Unfortunately, the Lizard was fast as it dodged all the bullets while it ran on all fours towards the webhead. Jumping, it tried to reach for the spider.

Leaping out of the way as the Lizard landed where he previously was, Spider-man shot a webline at the Lizard's back. Yanking, he pulled the mutated man toward him, while at the same time pulling himself. Flipping, he smashed his feet into the Lizard's chest, and slammed him down on the ground.

However, he had forgotten about a certain appendage, as the Lizard's tail wrapped around his neck, making him choke. He was tossed off, and slammed into the ground, making him groan.

"Naruto, I'm here." The voice of Mary Jane sounded in his ear-piece. "Did you find Doctor Connors?"

"Oh yeah." He answered with a groan. "I found him alright." He said, before he was lifted up and saw the Lizard about to claw at him. Catching the arm, he kicked his feet on its chest, using it as a platform to push himself out of the tail's hold.

Landing a few feet away, Spider-man eyed Lizard as he massaged his throat. "Sorry, Lizzy, but I'm not into S&M."

"Do I want to know how you know about that?"

"Blame the internet." He replied as he once more jumped away from a claw swipe. Crouching down, the Lizard jumped after Spider-man, making his eyes widen at the speed as the Lizard slammed into him. Quickly grabbing the man-beast's wrists to prevent the claws from ripping him to shreds, he used his feet to push it away as it tried to bite off his head. However, the Lizard used its tail to grab Spider-man by the waist and throw him aside.

Reacting quickly, Spider-man shot a web-line at a pillar, and swung around it, rocketing himself back at the Lizard as it landed on the ground. With his fist pulled back, he launched a fast punch to the Lizard's head, forcing it back. Feet on the ground, Spider-man chased after it as it rebalanced itself. Getting in close, he threw punches at it, with the Lizard retaliating with claw swipes. While Spider-man landed some good ones, the Lizard's scaly skin softened the blows, forcing him to add more force, with his suit suffered cuts from swipes he couldn't dodge. Finally, Spider-man landed another punch to the Lizard's head, snapping it to the side.

Spider-man then threw another punch. However, the Lizard was prepared this time, and as the fist got closer, it shot its head out, and grabbed the wrist with its jaw, making Naruto cry out in pain as the sharp teeth sank into the skin, almost reaching the bone. With Spider-man distracted, the Lizard swung its head back and forth, slamming the spider down hard on the ground multiple times like rabid dog would a rag doll. Each time Spider-man cried out as the Lizard's teeth sank deeping into his arm.

With a final slam, Spider-man laid on the ground, blood coming out of the bit marks in his arm, making him hiss.

"Naruto! Are you okay?!"

"Urgh!" Spider-man groaned as he tried to move his arm, only to feel it numb. "...hope that doesn't get infected." He joked weakly as he tried to get up. However, before he could, he felt the Lizard grab his leg, and picked him up. Lifted upside down, he soon stared into yellow eyes. The Lizard growled at Spider-man, before roaring at his face.

"...Word of advice, Doc. Mouthwash." He said, before yelping as he was slammed back down. Being lifted up, he was about to be slammed again. Luckily, this time he was able to catch himself on his workable hand, and used his other foot to kick the Lizard in the face, forcing it to let go of his leg. Pushing himself to his feet, Spider-man jumped away to put distance between the two of them.

Looking down at his still numb arm, Spider-man wrapped it in webbing, before making a makeshift sling over his shoulder to keep it in place. "That should do for now."

Looking up, his eyes widened when he saw the Lizard already on the move as it's gaping jaw appeared inches from his face. Acting quickly and on instinct, he shot his fist up and struck the jaw with an uppercut. As it staggered back, Spider-man moved behind it and, after grabbing the tail, began to spin on his heel, his great strength picking the bipedal reptile up as he spun around like a top, before throwing him up into the air to the roof. Shooting a web-bullet after it, the webbing exploded and covered the Lizard in a net, sticking it to the ceiling. Hopping on a nearby pillar, Spider-man ran up to the roof before jumping and landing upside down beside the struggling Lizard. "Alright Doc, fun's over. Time to get you to the lab." Holding up his hand, it sparked. "This will only hurt for a bit."

However, the struggling Lizard proved to be stronger, as it broke through the webbing. Eyes widening, Spider-man didn't get the chance to react, as a large clawed hand grabbed him by the face. As he grabbed the wrist to try and pry the hand off, the Lizard jumped down from the roof, dropping down to the floor, where it slammed Spider-man into the ground, making Naruto spit from the force, before he was whacked by the tail, sending him crashing into the wall. Falling down to the ground, Naruto gasped as he tried to regain his breath after having it knocked out of him.

'Damn it, not only is his physical reaction time nearly impossible to keep up, he's really strong too.'

"Naruto! Get up!"

Said spider groaned. "I'm alright...just need to catch my breath for a sec…"

Pushing himself to his feet, he turned to get back into action, when he was suddenly slammed into the wall, while the Lizard held his wrist above him and its tail wrapped around his neck to hold it in place.

"RAAAGH!" It roared at Spider-man's masked face, saliva shooting into it.

"...Gross."

Tightening its hold on Spider-man's wrist, it crushed the web shooter in a shower of webbing. The Lizard held up his other hand, the claws seeming to grow longer, as it got ready to claw Spider-man in half.

Seeing this, Naruto's eyes widened as he tried to get out of the hold. Unfortunately, the Lizard's strength seem to overpower his own.

Back in his lab, MJ saw this through the camera, and gasped. "Naruto, get out of there!"

"I'm trying!" He replied to he tried to break free.

Soon, the claw was ready to come down, making Naruto close his eyes, waiting for his death to come.

…

After a few seconds, and not feeling anything happen, he slowly opened his eyes. What he saw, was the Lizard looking around, almost in confusion.

The Lizard, while having his mental function were all overwritten by the primal instincts of his new transformation, still possessed some form of his former intellectual mentality.

And so, just when it was about to terminate this strange spider with the dangerous feeling coming from it, was confused and surprised when suddenly it seemed to have vanished from its sight.

Looking around in order to locate the spider, it unconsciously loosed its hold on Spider-man. Taking his chance, Spidey freed his hand, before punching the Lizard's jaw, causing it to stagger back. Now freed, he jumped up, backing up to the top corner of the wall as the Lizard looked around with a roar, attempting to locate what hit it.

"That was weird." Spider-man muttered, wondering what would cause the Lizard to hesitate in delivering the final blow, not that he was complaining.

It was then that he blinked. Looking down at his hand, his eyes widened when he couldn't see it!

No, that's not true. In his vision, Spider-man could see a faint, transparent outline of his arm and hand. "What the hell?!"

"Naruto?" He heard MJ's voice through his communicator. "Where are you?" She asked, not able to see him through the camera.

"I'm...right here, MJ." He responded, still looking at his invisible hand. "Just...not visible."

"What? What do you mean?"

"I'm...not sure how to explain it, Red. But...I think I may have just activated a new power."

"What?! Another one?!"

"Well, some spiders use their colors to camouflage themselves to hide from predators. Guess I have a sort of advanced version of it."

"Handy." MJ noted, making Naruto nod in agreement as the camouflage vanished, making him visible again.

Down below, the Lizard continue to look for Spider-man. "I need to knock him out if I'm to have any chance of getting him back to the lab." Spider-man muttered to himself. Reaching into one of the pouches strapped to his belt, he pulled out an extra web shooter. "Good thing I made extras, just in case." He said as he pulled down his sleeve and replaced the broken one, taking out the web cartridges and putting them in the new shooter. Fastening it on his wrist, rolled his sleeve back down. "Alright, let's do this."

Dropping down, he shot a webline to the roof, and sneaking behind the Lizard, gave it a sweeping kick that threw it into the air, and landing close to the train tracks. Hissing, it roared at Spider-man who came down with a drop kick. However, catching it, the Lizard tossed him away. Righting himself, Spider-man shot a web-line to a pillar, he slingshot himself back forward, and kicked the Lizard high into the air, over the train tracks. Crashing into the wall, it held itself up, hissing, before climbing up to a support beam.

Swinging toward it, Spider-man was hit by its tail, sending him to the rails below, where he rolled. Quickly catching himself, he held himself up, his face inches away from the electrical track, making him sigh in relief. "That was close."

"I'll say." MJ commented, also letting out a breath.

Sitting up, he looked around for the Lizard. Looking up, he spotted it, as it crawled through the roof. "Hey! Wall-crawling is my thing! You start shooting webs, and I'll sue!"

Spider-senses going off, he looked behind him and saw a subway train heading towards him. Quickly jumping up, he stuck to a support beam as the train passed under him. Climbing it, he took a moment to look at his arm on his chest. Moving his fingers, he saw that the numbness has passed. Taking off the sling, he rolled his shoulder. "Good as new." He noted as the bite marks were healed. "Now, where's bug breath?" He muttered, looking around.

He then spotted him, perched on top of the train that just stopped. Passengers boarding, the subway train then began to roll out, unknowingly taking the Lizard with it.

"Oh no you don't!"

Shooting a web-line hitting the train, he was pulled with it. Running over the walls, getting closer, he jumped on board the roof. Up ahead, the Lizard noticed him, and hissed.

Keeping his feet magnetized to the train's roof with his stick-em powers, Spider-man ran at the Lizard. Meeting his charge, the Lizard jumped at Spider-man. Sliding under the airborne monster, who landed behind him, using its feet's claws to dig into the metal surface, leaving gashes as it slid back from the rough winds, Spider-man shot a web-line at it, and pulling it back, punched it over the head, slamming it to the ground, making the people inside look up at the big indent on the roof in surprise.

The Lizard growled from its position, before grabbing Spider-man by the head with its tail, and tossing him away, off the train. Quickly shooting a web-line to grab the train, Spidey pulled himself back, and shooting two web-line at Lizard, shot at him with a hard stomp, breaking through the roof, startling the people inside, as they cried out in shock.

However, they were ignored, as the Lizard pushed Spider-man off him, before tackling him to the ground. Holding him in place, the Lizard loomed its head over him, and opened its saliva dripping mouth over his head, ready to bite it off.

However, Spider-man was saved, unexpectedly, by an old woman, who hit the Lizard over the head with her purse. Unfortunately, that shifted the Lizard's attention to her. But with it distracted, Spider-man took the chance to shoot webbing at it, hitting it in the eye. As it shook its head back and forth to try and remove it, before using its hands, Spider-man kicked it off him. Getting up, Spidey tackled the Lizard out of the train cart back outside.

Grabbing the side of the cart to hold on, Spider-man kicked the Lizard off him, and away from the train. However, in an incredible display, the Lizard flipped up, and landed on the wall, before pushing himself off and rocketing at Spider-man, who had just climbed up to the roof. Turning around in surprise, he was pushed down with the Lizard on top of him.

Grabbing the gaping maw to prevent the beast from having a spider feast, he grunted as he tried to hold it off.

Unexpectedly, at that time, his phone rang, drawing the Lizard's attention. With the chance given, Spider-man punched it. However, unlike before, this just made the Lizard angry, and with a roar, wrapped its tail around Spider-man neck, and began to slam him up and down on the roof, causing big dents, before flicking the dazed spider off the side, where he hit and rolled across the ground.

Groaning, Naruto sat up, and could only watch as the train took the Lizard further and further away. "Damn it." He cursed, before his ringing cellphone reminded him of it. Pulling it out, he saw it was ESU. Groaning at what he knew was about to happen, he pulled his mask up, winching as his back and sides ached. He answered the phone, putting it against his ear. "Hello?"

"Naruto, it's Mrs. Connors. We have the Gene Cleanser ready. Did you find Curt?"

Frowning at the bad news he will have to give her, he replied. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Connors. I lost him."

On the other end, Marth's eyes eyes widened as she gasped. "Oh no. Curt…"

End of Chapter!

Oh no! Curt Connors has been turned into a monstrous creature! What is Spidey supposed to do?!

Well he be able to save his friend? And what choice will he make? Will he give up his powers to save his mentor?

Who is the mysterious figure watching Spidey?

And a new power?! What more is there to come?!

When will I stop asking rhetorical questions?!

Find out next time on Superior Spider!

So yeah, Naruto has unlocked a new power! Camouflage. Will there be more secrets his blood holds?

And the secret of the Cross Species Project is revealed!

Also, I have bad news, good news, average news, and weird news.

Bad news: I redid the harem, and shortened the listing. Don't blame me. After giving it some thought, thanks to an anonymous reviewer, I decided that the former numbering was too insane. So the new one should be JUUUUST right. If not...well, there will be no pleasing you people.

Good news (well maybe not): Harem Number is shortened to 21. So some of the ones you were looking forward to, won't be in it. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Average News: I have fought Hurricane Irma, and survived! Take that Nature! However, I am Puerto Rican, so the current situation happening in Puerto Rico breaks my heart. Please, would you help my people out in this dire situation?

Weird News: Did you know, that if a person drank their own blood, it makes them immortal? But it can only happen during a full blood moon. Is that right, or am I lying? Guess we'll never know.

That's all for now, catch you all next episode as the final part draws it's conclusion in the battle of Spider vs Alligator! And after that, be sure to take a look at the challenge I am holding for the other Spider-man idea I gave! You know, the other option to pick along with this story? I want to see of anyone would be interested in adopting that idea.

Well, that's all for now (wait I already said that), so long!

Be sure to review and tell me how you liked the chapter!

Excelsior!
