Galabrax: Originally, I wasn't going to have an alternate Peter come over with the alternate heroes for the events of the game but after giving it some thought I decided to do so, but the Injustice universe isn't an alternate future, it's an alternate reality and while a lot of things are similar there's a lot of differences too but yes the alternate Peter will be pretty disturbed with how far this one has fallen and believe me, he's going to fall hard, he won't become evil but this Peter will have one helluva a thunderstorm over his head. At some point in this story Peter will try to go in for the kill, and I mean he'll tear through anyone that tries to get in his way to get Superman because at that point all bets are off. Peter doesn't have the Other, he's just slowly starting to turn into that Man-Spider which I don't think involves the Other, least as far as I know and as for him dying from his super cancer and coming back can't say on either without giving any spoilers
: Yes, I do but I'm going to have to wait on the comics and the game itself to do that

Year Two…
Peter rolled with the blast and came up to see multiple armed mercenaries approaching them, he was about to move to engage them when suddenly he felt his spider-sense flare again, forcing him to turn in time to catch a punch from a man dressed in green and black armor with a scorpion on his chest and golden yellow lenses on a helmet that looked like Peter's mask only it possessed four glowing yellow eyes
Peter's lenses narrowed at the man here was here for "So your Scorpion…nice to finally meet you"
Scorpion grunted as he pushed Peter back and sent a jab towards him which he dodged and responded with a punch of his own that met nothing but air as Scorpion leaped back and drew two pistols and opened fire on Peter
"Always with the guns, you'd think by now people would learn that unless I'm restrained or in tight quarters they'd be next to useless against me" Peter muttered as he leaped and rolled over the gunfire while also closing the distance between him and Scorpion
Meanwhile Ravager and Grifter had taken cover behind a knocked over tree along with Steve, Rick and Deadshot and began to lay down a field of suppressive fire in an attempt to keep a large force of Scorpion's men from flanking the two teams
"Is it normal for your missions to go to hell this quickly by any chance?" Ravager yelled as she shot several men in the head before ducking to reload
Grifter shot at a grenade that was thrown by one of the mercenaries, causing it to explode and take the man who threw it and several of his comrades out "Honestly, yeah"
"Fantastic" Ravager groaned as she drew a small knife and chucked it at a man's eye when he tried to take a shot at Steve
The ARGUS agent saw this and sent the daughter of Deathstroke a nod "Thanks…"
"Well I prefer you leading that team of assholes then the jackass next to you" Ravager said as she nodded towards Rick who responded to her insult with a glare
"She isn't the only one, I can of like Steve more than you at the moment Flag" Deadshot said as he was living up to his moniker of never missing and scoring headshots left and right with ridiculous amount of skill that one would think he was a meta human
Grifter saw this and couldn't help but smirk "Hey Lawton, first one to a hundred buys the first round, assuming we all live!"
"I'll take that bet, just letting you know now, I like bourbon" Deadshot said as he reloaded his rifle and began to open fire on a group mercenaries that were trying to flank them
"That's alright, I prefer Vodka anyhow" Grifter said as he hopped over the log and ran towards the mercenaries while blasting them with his pistols
Ravager watched the two men go at it with a deadpanned expression "…I need to find better friends"
"Have you thought of a better line of work?" Steve asked as he sniped a mercenary that was trying to sneak up behind Diablo who was sending fire balls left and right at the mercenaries
"Tried it, didn't stick" Ravager said as she looked to see Spider-man engaging Scorpion along with now Scarlet Spider "Wait here, I'll be back"
Ravager then took off to aid her father's god son and his clone while drawing her sword and cutting down any man dumb enough to try and take her in a fight
…
Spider-man ducked under a kick from Scorpion and sent a punch towards the man's armored torso, sending him skidding back a few feet while Scarlet Spider shot multiple web lines that the green armored man's legs and yanked them out from under him. Scorpion broke his fall with a hand stand and wrapped one of his legs around one of the web lines and pulled Scarlet Spider towards him before kicking him away
Spider-man's lenses narrowed at this as he leapt on to Scorpion's shoulders and tried to pull the larger man into a sleeper hold
"Nighty night" Spider-man hissed as he tightened his grip on Scorpion who began to thrash about
"G-G-Get off!" Scorpion yelled as he backed into a tree with enough force to knock it over and force Spider-man to release his grip on him
Scorpion then turned and sent a multitude of punches into Spider-man who was unable to block them and was sent flying through what was left of the tree stump. Scorpion made to follow when he suddenly heard a yell
"RAAAAAAAAA!"
Scorpion turned to see King Shark charging towards him like a bull, his mouth open and his teeth at the ready to tear into him. Scorpion growled at this and charged towards the larger man himself
Spider-man used this moment to gather his bearings and scan the battle field for his team. Ravager he saw was quickly approaching him along with Scarlet Spider. Black Cat, Wild Cat and Jay were nowhere to be seen, likely making their way towards the Kryptonite while Grifter was engaging in what looked like one intense shoot out competition with Deadshot
"…I'm starting to see what batman meant by not wanting to work with some of these guys…" Peter said as he stood up just as Ravager and Scarlet reached him
"So what's the plan now?" Scarlet asked as he turned to see Scorpion and King Shark tearing into each other while it looked like Katana, Black Spider and Frank were making their way away from the fighting along with Enchantress, likely to retrieve the Kryptonite they were here for as well
Spider-man lifted his mask up slightly and spat out some blood "For now…we regroup with the rest and get that damn Kryptonite"
"What about Scorpion" Scarlet gestured towards the man as he was shown to actually be overpowering King Shark and now Killer Frost who had come to aid the large cannibal
Spider-man narrowed his eyes at the man before cautiously looking up towards the sky "With all this shooting, explosions and fighting going on, I don't think we'll have much time to get both the Kryptonite and Scorpion before the Justice League finds us, for now let's focus on the thing that'll at least help us take down Superman. Scorpion hopefully won't be going anywhere anytime soon and if we have time, we're try to bag him too"
"If you're sure" Scarlet said as he sent another glance towards Scorpion who now had King Shark pinned while he was holding Killer Frost by the throat.
Ben frowned at the man before shooting a web line towards Grifter and yanking the surprised man towards him
"H-Hey what are you doing? I was starting to win!" Grifter yelled in some outrage
"Kryptonite first, beat Deadshot later" Scarlet said as he dragged the still shooting man away from the conflict between Scorpion, what's left of his men and the Suicide Squad and followed Spider-man and Ravager into the dark jungle
It was then that Rose looked towards Peter "You know you just left Steve there on his own, right?"
"He'll be fine" Peter said as he leaped over a fallen tree "Guy's survived worse with less, if anything I'm worried that he'll kill Scorpion before I can ask him some questions in regards to Octavius"
Rose frowned at that, not liking the way he said 'ask him some questions' but kept silent on the matter, she did however share a worried look with both Scarlet Spider and Grifter who seemed to be of a similar mind set
Spider-man, unaware of his teammates thoughts quickly contacted Black Cat, Wild Cat and Jay "Guy's, where are you?"
It was Black Cat who answered "We're at the first dig site where they've been digging for the Kryptonite, so far we haven't found any"
"They must have moved it in further inland or destroyed it to keep us from getting it" Peter concluded as he planned out his teams next move "Move to the secondary site, me Grifter, Scarlet and Ravager will meet you there"
"See you soon" Black Cat said before cutting the connection
'Something tells me that this mission is only going to get harder from here on out' Peter thought with a sigh as he saw multiple mercenaries up ahead, moving right towards them
…
Meanwhile back amongst the main fighting in the clearing half a mile away, Scorpion had just head butted Killer Frost, breaking her nose and tossed her away before steeping off King Shark and kicking him into Rick and Steve who were preparing to shoot him, the two men were knocked over by the large lumbering shark man and pinned beneath his weight.
He made to attack them when a bullet struck him in the head, harmlessly bouncing off his reinforced helmet. The arachnid themed villain paused and looked to see Deadshot aiming at him with his wrist mounted machine guns and Enchantress standing behind him, her eyes and hands glowing with mystical energy
"Was kind of hoping that'd do more than piss you off" Deadshot muttered as he saw something detach itself from Scorpion's back and vegan to lengthen until it took on the appearance of a scorpion tail, the end starting to glow as it aimed at the marksman
"Ah shit" Deadshot gaped as an energy blast erupted from the tail towards him while Enchantress threw up a shield just before the beam could hit them
BWOOOOOOOM!
…
So next chapter the Ultimates regroup and gain an unexpected ally, meanwhile Scorpion rallies his forces and the Suicide Squad is caught in the middle.
Took a while to update this, but I've been focusing on my other stories and this new one I have in the works that'll take place in the Arrow verse, it'll have elements from Christopher Nolan's batman trilogy and DC Allstar, DC's version of Ultimate Marvel.
