Sorry for the long wait, things got in the way. Just a heads up, writing fighting scenes is still a drag, so sorry if those scenes suck.
Also, if any of you are wondering, I haven't seen Suicide Squad yet, I'm planning on seeing it tomorrow, but unfortunately I've been spoiled about one death so far, so that's fun.
I own none of the content, and please enjoy.
Miles
It had been a couple of hours since Wally was forcibly pulled into the Speed Force, and Savitar was let loose. Barry had already been cleared to move around, thanks to his Speedster Physiology healing him faster. Everyone present had been coming up with ways on how to save Wally, and Barry had just told him what he was planning on doing.
"So, you want to go into the Speed Force, to get Wally?" Gwen said.
After comforting Jesse and getting a more detailed version of what was going on, Gwen had decided that she was probably needed here, and that Earth-2 Central City would be okay without her for a few hours.
"Pretty much." Barry said.
Gwen nodded, and proceeded to sit in a chair, and let out a groan, and muttered," When did my life become one of those cheesy Sci-Fi shows that Peter used to watch? No offense." She said the last part to Earth-38 Peter.
Peter waved her off, and said," None taken, you're talking to someone who has aliens who live on his Earth, and it's the norm."
Gwen knew that all too well, the couple of times she had visited Peter's earth, she had ran into a couple of aliens. It still blew her mind, and wondered if there were any aliens on her Earth living amongst the populace.
"I'm just wrapping my head around this like her. Savitar said he was in the Speed Force for years. You said it was like being in space." Joe said.
Barry nodded, and said," I know."
"So what are you gonna do? You gonna run in there and run around till you find him?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, this sounds like a very difficult version of 'Where's Waldo', except it's the Speedster Edition. Are you sure this is the only way? Like Joe just said, time moves differently, what could be minutes for us here, it could take hours, or more to find him." Peter asked.
"Peter, I wouldn't be suggesting this if I didn't know the risks, or knew of another way. This is going to be it." Barry firmly said.
Peter nodded, he had seen that look before, and Peter knew he had the same look when he was set on doing something.
"I think what Joe and Peter are trying to say, is that we need more of a concrete plan for this. If what your saying about the Speed Force is true, then you'll need something to help keep Barry safe while he's in there. I mean, you all have more experience than Peter, Gwen, and I, so there has to be something." Frost said.
"I'm in the same boat as you three, but I think I have an idea." HR said, and then looked at Cisco. "Why can't we use your knowledge to fashion some kind of safety precaution for young BA right here so that, while he's in the Speed Force, he doesn't get lost."
Cisco looked at him with an incredulous look, and said, "Oh, so you're saying I can just whip up some kind of inter-dimensional tether to just anchor him to the Universe?"
"Yeah." HR said.
"That's exactly what I can do." Cisco agreed.
"Oh boy, I love it when a plan comes together." Peter quipped with a grin.
"I can also add in a biological component that will measure his vitals when he's in the Speed Force."
"That's a great idea, we can use that, just in case we need to pull Barry out." Caitlin said.
"Thank you." HR said.
"You mean 'pull us out'." Jesse said.
Everyone looked at her, including Gwen, who gave her an incredulous look.
"Yeah, if you're going in there to save Wally, so am I."
"Jesse, you're gonna stay here." Barry firmly said.
"Yeah, if something does happen, then I'm going to have deal with your dad. Cause he's gonna go to me first, and ask why I let you do that. And that's a conversation I do not want to have." Gwen said, having been on the receiving end of a couple of lectures from Harry.
"Then he'll go to me next, because if your father finds out you're lost in some negative world. I might get a broken schnoz." HR said, and tapped his nose.
"Is that a Super Mario reference?" Peter asked.
"Yep."
"They have that on Earth-29?" Cisco asked.
"Oh, yeah, why? You two want to challenge me?" HR asked.
Peter smirked, and said," Just don't play Mario Kart against Frost, she's reigning champion."
Frost could only shrug with a smirk, when HR and Cisco looked at her. When she, Peter, MJ, Harry, and sometimes Jemma and Fitz when they visited, had a small game tournament, she always ended up beating them at Mario Kart. She always found it amusing when Fitz would yell in anger, and his accent would get thicker.
Gwen herself wanted to comment that she and her friends would play that as well, but she knew it wasn't the time.
Jesse ignored them, and said to Barry," I mean, you're gonna need my help. Your shoulder is still broken."
Barry understood what she was trying say, but he knew this was something he had to do himself. If it wasn't for his fear, Wally wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. He had expected Peter to scold or yell at him for all of this, but he was surprised that Spider-themed hero understood. He knew how fear can control a person, and had experienced it, and the repercussions of it. He sorta reminded him of Jay, or Thawne and Zoom, while the latter two weren't good role models, they did help him grow as a hero, even though it was to help themselves, mainly Thawne.
But they helped him grow, and now Peter and Frost were here to him, and the others through all of this.
"It's okay, it's almost healed."
"No, look, I can do this."
"I know, but I need you to stay here. You and Frost can keep the city safe while I'm gone."
Jesse looked confused, and said," Why not Peter and Gwen as well?"
"Peter had Cisco look into something, and he needs Gwen's help with it. They're going to be out for a bit, but they'll be back when you need it at a moment's notice. But the fact of the matter is that, what I'm doing is something I have to do on my own, okay."
Jesse nodded, making a mental note to ask Gwen what she and Peter were going to do, and said," Fine."
"Thank you."
"Okay, let's get to work." Cisco said with a clap of his hands.
Peter approached Barry, and said," Hey, good luck with getting Wally, dude. Sorry for not being able to help, this is just out of my element. And I promise that Gwen and I would be here once trouble starts again."
"It's fine, no one's holding it against you. But, what exactly are you and Gwen going to do that so important, that you also had Cisco look into it?" Barry asked.
"Uh, it has something to do with the headline board, and also I believe its something that will help us." Peter explained.
Barry would've been a little worried, which he was, but he could trust Peter on what he was planning on doing.
"Okay, I guess besides my treacherous journey, I should wish you luck on yours." Barry quipped.
Peter snorted, and patted Barry's shoulder, and said," God speed, my friend."
Peter motioned for Gwen to follow him, and he nodded at Frost when he noticed she was looking at him. She would be working with everyone else while he and Gwen were away, and she would call them once something happened.
"So, what is so important that we aren't helping the others get Wally from some kind of Speed Dimension?" Gwen asked with a raised eyebrow.
She knew that the both of them wouldn't be able to do anything, they weren't Speedsters like Barry, but it couldn't hurt to at least try.
"We're heading to New York… Earth 1 New York to be exact."
A portal opened in an unassuming alleyway, and both Peter and Gwen walked out of it. Gwen recoiled as she stepped in a puddle, and shook her foot.
"Why couldn't we arrive on a roof?" She grumbled.
Peter shrugged sheepishly, and said," Once we get the lay of the land, I'll ask Cisco for a better destination."
Gwen nodded, and the both of them walked out of the alley, and took in their surroundings. It was still night time, but they could still see the skyscrapers and other buildings that lined the area, cars of different makes and models, along with Taxi's and buses drove around. Even though it was night time, people of different walks of life walked or stood around, and Peter could hear the sounds of traffic, yelling and other things with his enhanced hearing.
Nothing was different, and everything seemed like how it was back home.
"Huh, home away from home." Peter mused.
"Yeah, guess some things stay the same even on different earths." Gwen said.
She had only been to New York a couple of times, when she visited Earth-38, so she got a good enough impression of the city.
"Right, let's go get something to eat, and plan out what we're gonna do."
They ended up going to a nearby Jitters, or NY-Jitters to be exact. Peter had looked it up, and apparently Jitters was the Starbucks of Earth-1, and it had the initials of whatever town or city one was at. And it was good that Jitters was open 24 hours a day, they would probably need caffeine for the night they were going to have.
Once they walked inside, Gwen was looking around, but accidently bumped into someone.
"S-sorry my bad." The person she bumped into said.
A boy of African American descent who looked to be her age, which was 14, and was a couple of inches taller than her, who had a mini-afro cut.
And he was slightly cute.
Gwen's cheeks felt warm, and said," Uh, no it was my fault, wasn't looking, sorry."
The boy chuckled nervously, and said, "I-it's cool. Later." He said with a nervous smile, and walked to the entrance, and then outside.
Gwen heard a snort, and looked at Peter, who was giving her an amused look.
"Made a new friend? Or is he going to be something more?"
Gwen gave him a dirty look, and walked to the counter to order something, while Peter continued to snicker.
Peter took a sip of his coffee, and liked the feeling of the liquid going down his esophagus, as well as the energy boost. With how the past couple of days have been, he needed all the energy he could get.
"I can't believe that your Caitlin likes her's black." Gwen said, as she bit into her sandwich she had bought with her coffee.
Peter shrugged, and said," Meh, we all have our preferences. Also you should see how her cousin, Jemma and her friend Fitz drink theirs sometimes. Sometimes they have to pull all nighters."
Gwen nodded, and said," So, what's the game plan for this trip?"
Peter had grabbed a newspaper from the register area, and handed it to her. Gwen looked at it, and gave Peter a raised eyebrow.
"'Huge sale 30%-40% off at Bed Shower & Beyond?' Don't see how that's going to help us."
Peter rolled his eyes, and took the paper from her, and found the right articles, and handed the paper back to her.
Gwen looked at the news story which read 'A rash of break-ins has been occurring in different Labs across the city, no suspects.'
There was another one that read 'New vigilante saves the day again by stopping a robbery in progress.'
The first photo showed a stereotypical photo of a building with police tape and police around it. While the second photo showed three bank robbers lying on the ground unconscious, while in the corner, it showed someone crawling on a wall, and from the looks of it, they were going upwards.
She read a little bit of the article with one of the highlights being 'New vigilante spotted leaving the scene after stopping bank robbery. The vigilante seems to have some type of power that allows them to stick to walls. Do they have some type of connection to the Spider-Man who is helping The Flash in Central City?'
Gwen placed the paper down, and looked at Peter, who started to explain.
"I've been researching about there being any people with spider-like abilities. I've even checked if there was a me on this Earth. Turns out for the latter there isn't, while for the former, I found news stories about a possible vigilante being spotted in New York. And once I found some videos, I realized whoever this is, does have some type of spider powers."
"Okay, that makes sense. What do the break-ins have to do with this vigilante?"
"Well, Cisco, Barry and I did some research on that as well. There have been numerous break-ins around the city, with the buildings being broken into are somehow related to tech, and were at night. And the one we found that hasn't been broken into is the Mercury Labs here, which is right around the corner. And it's safe to assume that this vigilante will try to stop it. So I thought a steak out would be a good idea."
Gwen started to look excited, and said," Okay, this trip is starting to sound really awesome. Let's do it."
So they were going to hunt or look for someone who may have Spider powers like them, and also stop a potential robbery.
Gwen continued to wonder how her life became this exciting.
Meanwhile up in the rooftops a figure was standing on the roof of a building that gave them a good vantage point of Mercury Labs. The person was a male, and he was wearing a homemade suit. He then pulled out a phone, and typed in a number.
The sound of ringing was heard for a moment, but it was soon picked up.
"Hello? Miles, are you at the steak-out area?"
"Yeah Ganke, I am. Let's hope our hunch was right."
"C'mon dude, I'm the 'Guy in the Chair', we're supposed to be right. Besides, with the way the break-ins are happening, it's safe to assume that Mercury Labs is next."
"Right, just keep your eyes on the cameras. I'll let you know if I see anything as well."
"Roger."
Miles Morales ended the call, and sat down against a brick wall. He then placed his earbud's on, and listened to music, while keeping an eye on things.
'We really need to find a way to make some type of Spider Webs, running and crawling takes too long. Thank God I don't shoot that stuff out of my butt.' He thought with a shiver.
Half an hour after eating and drinking, as well as coming up with a plan of action, Peter and Gwen were sitting at their own steak-out area. Besides looking out for anything suspicious, they got regular updates on what was going on with Barry and Wally. Apparently the tether for Barry was cut, and they were blind on what was going on with Barry. Not only that, but Jesse had gotten the idea to go after Savitar, and Peter was thankful that Caitlin had tagged along, and the both of them made it out okay, with only minor injuries. Besides that, the others had figured out a plan, and it involved Cisco getting another Speedster that they knew. And Cisco would update Peter about any changes.
Peter was also using Karen to hack into cameras around the area, which they found nothing so far.
But they mainly passed the time to talk about each other's lives, and what was on their mind.
"Wait, so you and your Peter debated on your superhero name, and the names were Ghost-Spider or Spider-Woman?" Peter clarified, while also sounding amused.
Gwen giggled, and said," Yeah, I wanted Ghost-Spider because it sounded badass, and with the way my suit looked, as well as looking up different spiders for inspiration. Peter thought Spider-Woman would be a good name because it sounded both mature and professional, and also child friendly. He words were 'As much as Ghost-Spider is a totally awesome name. We have to think about how kids will react to you.'"
Peter laughed at that for second, and then said," That's interesting, so I take it the media thought otherwise, and dubbed you 'Spider-Girl'? But what name did you guys settle on? And why did Jesse call you Spider-Woman when we first met?"
Gwen nodded with a slightly annoyed look, and said," Got it in one. Believe me, when I first got interviewed, I told them my name was Ghost-Spider. I beat Peter in a couple of rounds of Luigi-Kart to get the name. I mean, Spider-Girl? It doesn't sound serious; it makes me sound like a kid. I asked Jesse to call me Spider-Woman because I was debating on whether to sound cool or mature when I was going to meet you guys, and I chose the latter. Cause you know, first impressions are everything. I'm pretty sure your name wasn't bad when you first started."
Peter scratched the back of his head in slight embarrassment, and said," Well… remember how I told you how I originally used my powers to win money at a wrestling event?"
Gwen nodded, she found it unfair that Peter didn't get the full cash prize. And had to wince at the fact that the robber Peter had let get away was the same man who murdered his Uncle Ben.
"Well, the original name I had for myself before the announcer gave me the Spider-Man name I went with was… The Human Spider."
Peter looked at Gwen, who gave him a blank look, and then her face into an 'are you serious look' and then said," Dude, seriously?"
Peter shrugged, and said," Hey, nerdy teenager who had just gotten powers. Also, have you heard of some of the names of some professional wrestlers have?"
"Yeah, but still, that name makes it sound like your some kind of spider-human hybrid. Which I'll admit is both cool and slightly terrifying."
The argument of names would've gone on more, if it wasn't for Karen butting in," Peter, I just got a hit on one of the CCTV Cameras, I'm sending you the video now."
Peter got the video, and he saw a figure covered in darkness, which was in the sights of the camera for a split second.
"Which way is it heading?"
"A couple of buildings north. Do you want me to send out the drone for recon?"
"No, it's okay, thanks Karen."
"Don't mention it Peter. Also, Miss Stacy?"
"Yeah?" Gwen asked, with slight hesitance.
"Regarding the names you and your version of Peter thought of, I personally like Ghost-Spider."
"Oh… thank you."
Gwen once again wondered what her Peter's reaction would've been to all of this. She always found him geeking out kinda cute and amusing. She could only imagine what his thoughts would be regarding how her life has changed up to this point. Mainly the fact she was being mentored by an older alternate version of him that had spider-themed powers as well.
"Don't mention it. You and Peter should get a move on."
The both of them looked at each other, shrugged and then took off.
Who knew AI's had a preference?
The both of them webslinged to the location, and they both used the infrared functions of their suits to pick up any heat sources. But the both of them then felt their Spider-Sense's going off.
"Peter, my sensors indicate that someone is nearby, but I have a feeling you and Miss Stacy's Spider-Sense may be going off."
The both of them heard footsteps nearby, and they walked towards it. Peter made a hand motion to Gwen, and tried to walk as silently as possible. Once he was at the corner, Spider-Man jumped around the corner, and was about to attack, but before he knew it, he heard a yelp, and then felt a huge surge of electricity course through him, and he shot backwards into a wall, and slammed into it, and his head fell down.
Gwen screamed, and ran to him, and checked his pulse. She breathed a huge sigh of relief when she felt a pulse, and also heard him groan. Seeing him like that brought back some bad memories, but she pushed them aside to feel anger at whoever did that to him.
"Crap! Are you okay?" A voice said.
Gwen turned towards the voice, and saw someone with what she assumed was some kind of homemade suit, with the most prominent feature was the poorly made Spider logo on it.
"Okay?! You could've killed him you idiot!" Gwen seethed, as she got into the face of the guy, even though she was shorter than him, but she probably made up for it by the anger and intimidation.
Her theory was correct, due to the guy shrinking under her gaze, and also when he took a step back.
"Well… how was I supposed to react when someone literally jump scares you from around a corner? Also, I shocked people before, they can either get knocked out or temporarily paralyzed." He said… in a slightly deeper voice.
"Dude, don't pull the deep voice trick. People will spot that a mile away." Peter said, as he let out a groan, and started to get up.
Gwen went over to help Peter up, and he then said," Damn, haven't felt a shock like that in a while. For some reason, that felt more pleasant than what Electro would dish. Karen, you okay?"
"… Systems reboot successful. Yes, all systems are okay now." She said into his mask.
"That's good… Tony would kill me if something happened to you or the suit."
The other spider kid looked at Gwen, and whispered," Who is he talking to?"
"His AI. I know, it's pretty cool."
"Yeah, it really is. Right so, I'm sorry for shocking you… wait, now that I got a good look at you both, you both look familiar."
"Well, if you been watching the news lately, then you'll see me teaming up with The Flash."
The kid snapped his fingers, and said," Oh right, I saw how you guys took on those Apes. You're Spider-Man, and she's your sidekick, Spider-Girl."
Peter snickered at what he assumed was an offended look under Gwen's mask's, and she said," I'm not his sidekick. We're partners, and I'm being mentored by him to be a better hero."
"Uh, isn't that what a sidekick is? They hang with the big guys, learn from them, and then go on their own when their ready?" He voiced in confusion.
Peter moved his hand in front of Gwen, before she could do something drastic, even though eh found that amusing, and said," Okay, sidekicks aside, Ghost-Spider and I are here for two reasons. But I have the feeling you're here for the same thing, the rash of break-ins around the city."
"Yeah, I was doing a stakeout when I ran into you two. But what's the second reason?"
"Well, we came here to find you. I've done some research on you, and I can tell you new. I'm pretty sure you need some guidance from fellow Spiders from different Earths."
"Really that's… different Earth's?" The kid said, catching up to the last thing Peter had said.
Peter would've explained, but Karen spoke.
"Spider-Man, the backdoor access to Mercury Labs has glitched. I fixed it, and found out the cameras have just been tampered with. I believe the burglary is happening."
"Who said that?" The kid asked looking around.
"I'll explain later. We need to head to Mercury Labs, what's your hero name?"
"Kid Arachnid." Kid Arachnid said.
"Still a lot better than the Human Spider." Gwen said under her breath in amusement.
Peter didn't seem to hear her as he got to the ledge of the building, and said," Well Kid, we gotta go. Uh, do you have Web shooters or Organic Webs?"
"You mean like actual Spider Webs or Synthetic ones? I don't on the first one, even though it would be both cool and gross at the same time. While for the second, a friend of mine and me are trying to make some type of Synthetic Webs. Haven't cracked it yet."
Peter smirked under his mask, and said," I'll give you the correct formula later. I guess, hop on my back, and hold on."
Kid Arachnid or Miles Morales sighed, and hopped on Spider-Man's back, and ignored the sniggering from Ghost-Spider. He honestly didn't expect his night to go like this, but if it helped him in the long run, and to make some new allies, then he was all for it.
And the fact there may or may not be a possibility he would meet the Flash, was another bonus.
One Web-Slinging to the Mercury Labs building later, the trio landed at a balcony, and Peter used Karen to hack the security systems to let them in.
She was able to do that in a couple of seconds, and once again thanked Tony for his AI and suit.
"So, where did you get the suit, and the AI?" Kid Arachnid asked.
"The same guy who made my suit. Super genius. And it was a different genius who made Ghost Spider's suit."
Kid Arachnid sighed, and said, "All I have is this homemade suit. Do I have to pass a test or something to join you and The Flash, and also get a cool tricked out suit?"
"You sure ask a lot of question, kid." Gwen said.
Gwen could tell Kid… or whoever he was, was giving her a glare, and said," I'm 15, not a kid."
"Then why did you name yourself Kid Arachnid then?"
"Best that I could come up at the time. I'm surprised you're not called Spider-Girl, you sound young like me."
Peter stopped walking, and turned around, and gave the two younger Spiders a look of annoyance, even though they couldn't see it. He also knew why Gwen was being snarky and making jokes at Arachnids expense, due to him shocking him earlier. Gwen was still getting used to him, and he pretended he didn't notice the side glances she gave him sometimes.
So seeing him getting shocked and injured made her feel protective sometimes.
It reminded him to have a one-on-one with her sometime in the future.
"Can you both just stop for a few minutes? We are looking for thief, and I'm pretty sure they can hear us."
Jeez, was he that annoying when he was their age…
Oh God, he was sounding old, and he was only in his early Twenties. The others shall never know about that.
Gwen sighed, looked at Arachnid, and said," Sorry."
Arachnid shrugged, and said with his hand out," It's good, no hard feelings."
Gwen looked hesitant at the hand, and Arachnid noticed.
"Oh, don't worry, I've got a pretty good handle on my Venom Strikes."
Gwen nodded, and conceded that it was a pretty cool name, and shook his hand.
Once Peter knew that two were done, he continued to lead them.
He wondered how the others were doing back in Central City.
Earlier before Peter and Gwen ran into Kid Arachnid, Caitlin Frost's day was going as to be expected of one in the Superhero world. Sometime after Peter and Gwen left, and also when Barry had gone into the Speed Force to get Wally, things taken a turn for the worse. The cable that was used tether and track Barry was severed, and left everyone blind on what was happening to Barry.
That left them waiting and thinking of different ways to either get Barry's signal, or to get him back. She was tempted to call Peter back to Central City, but she knew he knew as much about this stuff as she did.
So for the time being, everyone was just waiting, but she could tell that Cisco was coming with another idea. She would've stayed with them, if it wasn't for the outburst from Jesse earlier after the conversation she had with Cisco and HR.
She and HR had shared a look, and Caitlin went to put on her suit, knowing something was about to happen.
And she was proven right, once she found HR trying to talk Jesse out of using the shard they had gotten from Savitar's suit to find him. She had just gotten to when Jesse had knocked him out, when she steeled herself for the next moment. She sprinted into the room, and grabbed onto Jesse when she was about to speed off.
A second later, they stopped, and Caitlin started to feel nauseous again.
"Just take a couple of breaths." Jesse's concerned voice said.
'I think getting zoomed around more would probably help with your nausea. And it would also be funny.' Frost said, and Caitlin ignored her.
Once she got her bearing's back, she looked at Jesse, and she saw the piece of Savitar's suit in her hand. She noticed her surroundings, and found they were in an alleyway.
"Okay, what the hell do you think your doing?" Caitlin asked.
"Trying to find Savitar, and help save Wally."
Caitlin gave her a disapproving look, the one she used sometimes on Fritz and Jemma when they were working on projects for too long and needed sleep. She was satisfied to see it was working, due to the slight wince from Jesse.
"Getting yourself killed is not going to do anyone any favors. I know your scared and worried, and I know you just want answers and for Wally to be safe. But, we will find a way to get him and Barry back. Look, you're still young, and you may have had your powers for a while now, but I can tell you're still new. Take it from someone who's been in the game a little longer. You just have to trust others, and sometimes waiting is a good idea."
Jesse groaned, and said," I messed up, great." And Gwen didn't pretend to notice that she was probably close to crying.
Caitlin placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, and said," Don't beat yourself up, like I said, your young, and sometimes a lesson is needed. C'mon, let's head back to-"
Before she could finish, the piece of Savitar's suit started to glow, and vibrate. And once Jesse lets go of it, it started to hover, and then took off.
Jesse looked at Caitlin, waiting for a response. Caitlin sighed, knowing she was going to regret this, and hoping that Harry wouldn't kill her for endangering Jesse.
"Alright, let's go."
Caitlin let Frost take control, and she held onto Jesse's shoulder, and they took off after the piece of armor. They followed it around the city, and stopped in a lot once the shard stopped moving.
They had only moment to stop, and look around once they heard a voice approaching.
"Jesse Quick, Caitlin Frost. I knew you would come for me." Savitar said as he came into sight.
"How'd you know we would come here?" Jesse asked.
"Cause I know everything that happens. I already lived it."
Frost rolled her eyes, and said," If that's the case, you wouldn't happen to know who will be winning the next couple of World Series, would you?"
"I'm not afraid of you." Jesse said.
"Same, I know an angry feral Canadian who's much scarier than you." Frost quipped.
Jesse gave her a questioning look, and Frost said," I'll explain later."
"You both should be."
Jesse ran at Savitar, and then circled around him, and stopped a distance from him, and threw a Lightening Bolt at him. Savitar absorbed the bolt, and once he stopped, he threw one at her, but Frost created an Ice wall that took the brunt of the attack, and they both shielded themselves from the broken ice.
"Watch and learn Rookie." Frost said.
Frost fired ice out of her hands, and used them to propel herself into the air, and she then incased her hands in ice to make them like boxing gloves, and slammed them into Savitar, but he used his arms to block them, and he threw her off of him. She then used more frost to stop herself, and landed on her feet.
'Man, all those training sessions with Bobby sure paid off.' Caitlin said.
'I know, right?" Frost said.
"Enough!" Savitar said, and he then ran at Frost, and shoulder hit her.
Frost ended up crashing against a car, and she hissed in pain, once she felt something crack.
"You have something that belongs to me." Savitar said as he held out his hand.
The shard in Jesse's hand started to move towards him. Frost cursed under her breath, and fired a stream of ice at Savitar, but it didn't seem to stop him.
Frost then pressed the comms unit in her ear, and said," Hey, any of you guys there?"
"Yeah, I'm here." HR said.
Frost winced as she got up, feeling her powers heal her, and said, "Never thought I'd be glad to hear your voice, Drummer Boy. How's the jaw?"
"Slightly sore, but I'll live."
"Uh guys, less casual conversation, more help, please." Jesse said, slightly freaking out.
"Right, right, thinking."
"Think faster!" Both girls said.
"We're fighting Savitar, he's a Speed God, omnipotent… he's invulnerable… then why does he need a suit of armor?" HR said, thinking aloud.
"He's vulnerable under that stupid suit. Jesse, stab the son of a bitch! Somewhere in the neck or shoulder area!" Frost said.
'Language! But yeah, that's a good idea.' Caitlin said.
By that time, Savitar had Jesse in a chokehold, and Jesse raised the piece of the suit.
"This is for Wally." She said and stabbed him in the shoulder area.
Savitar yelled in pain, and he let Jesse go. He let out a roar, and sped away.
Frost, once she knew her injury was healed, turned back to Caitlin, and ran over to Jesse and helped her up.
"You okay?"
"Yeah you… or are you both okay?"
Caitlin smiled a little, it was nice for someone to acknowledge that there were two people in her body instead of herself. Frost had confided in her that was something that bothered sometimes.
"Yeah we are. At least we now know Mr. All Powerful God isn't so godly as he says."
Back with the Spiders, the three of them had found a nearby heat signature in the R&D Department of the building. Peter had thought about splitting them up so they can catch whoever was there from different angles, but he thought against it. He didn't know how skilled this person was, but if they were able to break into multiple buildings easily, and almost undetected, then they either had to be a Pro, or Peter was about to deal with an alternate version of Felicia.
And he was conflicted on whether that would be a good thing or a bad thing.
Once the three of them were outside the room, Peter glanced through the window wall. He couldn't tell who he was seeing, but someone in black and purple costume was typing on a small hand held device, that was connected to a container that had some type of cylinder in it. (Prowlers suit looks like the one from Spider Man: Miles Morales Video Game)
Peter turned back to the others, and said," I'll get him. Stay here, and if he tries to run, stop him. You think you can do that, Kid?"
Kid Arachnid gave him a nod and thumbs up. While Gwen merely nodded, even though on the inside she was itching to go in with Peter.
Peter nodded, and activated the silent mode on his suit. Luckily, to the door to the room was opened, so he didn't have to open it himself, and risk being caught. He then walked in, and activated the Web Grenade on his Web Shooters. He aimed, and was about to fire, if it wasn't for his Spider-Sense going off that very second. He had to duct when the person spun around, and fired a couple of bullets from his gauntlets.
Peter cursed, and heard the scream of shock from outside. He had dodge and duct when the burglar started to attack him at close range by trying to swipe at him with some very sharp claws.
"Cool suit, did you get it from the same tailor as me?" Peter quipped.
Peter managed to find an opening, and kicked him, but was a mistake, due to the guys suit electrocuting him, and fell to the ground in a momentary daze. The burglar was about to attack, but his face was hit by some web, and Peter looked to see Gwen come into the room. She then jumped, and landed a kick to the burglars chest, and then punched him, and he ended up hitting the wall.
"That's what happens when you go in alone." She said as he helped him up.
"Thanks, where's Kid?"
"Right here. And don't get mad, but sometimes hands on learning works better- watch out!" Kid said, and pushed both Peter and Gwen out of the way, and ducked at the nick of time, due to the burglar trying to slash them with his claws again.
"And by the way, he's called 'The Prowler'. Some kind of Master Thief." Kid said.
"Good to know. Alright Prowly, let's tangle." Peter said.
Peter jumped into action, and used either his webs or fists to attack Prowler, but the web-head could tell that this fight was going to be interesting, due to Prowler countering, dodging and fighting with expert speed. Kid's idea was to shock him with his bites, and from previous experience, he knew it would automatically incapacitate people, but when he tried to do it, Prowler grabbed his arm, and flung him towards the glass wall, which ended up shattering from the impact.
Gwen cursed, tried to blind him again, but Prowler grabbed her webs, and used them to swing her into the direction of the container he was trying to get into. Gwen bit back a curse when she felt the glass behind her break, and she slid to the ground.
Peter had to get out of the way when Prowler fired a couple of rounds from his gauntlet, and that gave the thief enough time for him to quickly grab the cylinder.
"As much as a distraction you three were. Thanks for helping me." Prowler said in a disguised voice.
He then pressed a button on his gauntlet, and to the surprise of the three Spiders, he turned invisible.
"Damn, Karen activate-"
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The three of them looked towards the container, and a small sphere in it, and it was beeping.
"Oh shit." Gwen squeaked.
The three of them ran out of the room, and made it just down the hall when an explosion rocked the floor. The three of them caught their breaths as they looked behind them.
"Man, and I thought the hero business wouldn't get any crazier." Kid said.
Gwen snorted, and said," That's what I thought too, but you'd be surprised how wrong you'll be proven so many times."
Later, the three of them were standing at a nearby rooftop, while they watched the Police heading into the building, and the Fire Department was in the middle of getting rid of the fire.
"Well, first time out Central City, and things are the same for me like back home." Peter quipped.
Gwen shrugged, and said," More or less for me."
Kid rubbed the back of his head, and said," I'm still new to this, so I guess this will be normal for me now."
Peter snorted, and said," You'll learn rookie. So, I take it this experience probably got us some trust with you. You mind telling us who you are if that's okay?"
Kid shrugged, and said," Well, we fought together, and almost blew up. So I guess. Hang on a moment."
Kid then removed his mask, and both Peter and Gwen were surprised on who was under it.
"Uh yeah, my name is Miles Morales. Nice to officially meet you two." He said with a wave.
"Wait… you're the guy we saw at the coffee shop earlier." Gwen said as she took off her mask, and Peter did the same.
Miles eyes widened, and said," Whoa… now that's crazy… uh, so what now?"
Peter decided to take the lead, and said," I'm Peter Parker, and she's Gwen Stacy. If you remember what I said earlier, we're from different Earths, and I was doing research on you. I know we just met, and have a million questions that need to be answered. But, I think it would be a good idea for you to allow me or us to train and help you become someone like us. To be a hero that your trying to be. Become… Spider-Man. So, what do you say?" Peter said, and held out his hand.
Miles looked at the hand, and then looked at Peter and Gwen, with the latter giving him a nod. He was able to tell what Peter said was genuine, and even though he had just met them, he couldn't help but trust them.
Miles took, and shook his hand, and said," Alright, deal. This may be the coolest thing to happen to me."
Peter smirked, and said," Believe me, we're only getting started."
Miles couldn't help but feel elated by that statement.
He couldn't wait to tell Ganke about this later.
The Prowler looked around the location his employer had said to meet him at. It was a stereotypical abandoned warehouse, and while he waited, his thoughts drifted to the three nuisances that got in his way tonight.
He hadn't expected to run into that Spider kid everyone's been talking about, and he sure didn't expect to run into the other two who were making headlines in Central City. But, he didn't have any trouble dealing with them in the slightest, he didn't get to where he was today without training and honing his skills, with potentially dealing with them or possibly the Green Arrow or Flash himself.
"I see you got what I wanted." A voice said.
Prowler turned around, and saw his employer, Cayden James, being flanked by two Helix members with guns.
"Nothing that I couldn't handle." Prowler said, and handed Cayden the Cylinder.
"Well, the explosion at Mercury would beg to differ, I would assume The Prowler would've been a lot more subtle. You did so from the last couple of robberies I instructed you to do." James quipped with slight amusement, and got a case that was being handled by one his bodyguards.
Prowler didn't respond, and handed the Cylinder to Cayden, while he got the case from him. He then opened it, and saw rows of money in it.
"I can assure you that all of it is in there. You may take your leave." Cayden said.
"Pleasure doing business with you. You can contact me the same way you previously did if my services are needed." Prowler simply said, and walked out of the warehouse.
Cayden looked at the small container that held some more parts for the computer software he was developing.
He knew this was going to be a step in the right direction to find out who had killed his son, and to help him enact his revenge on whoever was responsible for it.
And he was going to make them pay dearly, no matter the cost.
As you can tell by the ending, just setting up for Season 6 of Arrow.
Just to make sure if any of you forget, this version of Miles Morales is portrayed by Tyrel Jackson Williams
I honestly don't know who should portray Aaron Davis/Prowler, if I decide to incorporate him into another story.
I hope you all enjoyed this, and till next time.
