Answers to reviewers questions or statements:

treyalexander63917: I have been thinking of introducing a side kick for Spider-man for Injustice 2 and she has cropped up, I may use her.

Jestalnaker94000: We won't be seeing Superman after a beatdown from either Spider-man or Batman for a while, mainly not until Wonder Woman rejoins the fray in the next year

MCRasengan: Yeah Ock getting super pills ain't a good think and it's only going to get worse believe it or not, especially when we get to year five

keyblade master cole: I'm not so much shipping as I'm building up the drama that'll unfold. Zatanna still having very, very strong feelings for Peter, him still loving Diana and vice versa but them being on opposing sides… Parker luck at it's finest

Harbinger of Kaos: We'll see how Victor and Raven and Diana react to the Titans imprisonment in the Phantom Zone, as for them being freed in the coming battle, can't say without giving spoilers

Year Two…

"So doc, what's the prognosis?" Peter asked as he laid in a comfy bed in the Tower of Fate while Clair examined his vitals

"Well the good news is that your transformation into Man-spider has believe it or not caused some of the larger tumors to regress or shrink, mainly in the Lungs and Prostate. The bone marrow on the other hand has… it's gone…"

Peter stared at Clair for several moments before a frown crossed his face "…But?"

Clair exhaled sadly "But the tumors in your brain and breasts are still there, in fact the ones in your brain seemed to have worsened to some degree"

"Can't win them all I suppose" Peter sighed sadly before he ran his hands through his hair "Anything else to report doc or am I 'A oh Kay?"

"Physically your fine" Clair said as she went through a few more of Peter's scans before looking at him with a blank expression "Mentally on the other hand…"

Peter quirked a brow at the woman before suddenly Kaine, Ben, Eddie and Felicia entered the room with stern expressions. Peter tensed at the sudden shift in the atmosphere while Clair got up and made her way out. No one said a word for several minutes before Ben spoke

"There a reason you didn't tell us?" the Scarlet spider asked

"About?" Peter asked with narrowed eyes

"About why you've been wearing Venom more often!" the man nearly shouted in rage

"Oh… that…" Peter said with a wince before he ran a hand over his face "I was going to mention it-"

"When, on your death bed!?" Felicia asked with hurt

"Well maybe not that long" Peter said with an eye roll before suddenly Eddie held up a small container, the one that housed Venom "…What are you doing with that?"

It was then Kaine pulled out a small laser cutter that he was able to swipe from Batman's belt after messing around with it for half an hour. He didn't say anything as he suddenly activated the device under the container, causing Venom to let out a shrike as it's prison began to burn

"NOOO!" Peter shouted as he tried to lunge for the man only for Ben to suddenly hold him down

Peter tried to struggle before Felicia spoke up in a hard tone "Enough!"

Kaine shut the device off, causing the shrieks of Venom to become silent while Eddie pocketed the Symbiote. The room was tense as Peter tried to break out of Ben's hold but his injuries and Ben's leverage

"Peter stop, you're only going to end up hurting yourself and then Clair's gonna come back in and we're all screwed" Ben said with a sigh and slight dread if the Night Nurse comes in now, the woman has even been able to force Batman to heel and that say's plenty…

Peter slowly ceased his struggles before glaring at the group with a mixture of rage and betrayal, but mostly rage "You had no right-"

"We told you to stop using Venom, that includes carrying him with you everywhere and run the risk of you throwing him on anyways" Felicia said in a stern tone that caused Peter to growl in return

"Well excuse me for not wanting to die sooner by taking one of those super pills. In case you haven't realized it, but I kind of want to live to see superman brought down, hell maybe even get a few punches in myself. Kind of hard to do that from Purgatory" Peter huffed as Ben released him

"There are other alternatives then using Venom Peter" Kaine said as he leaned against the wall "I mean for fuck's sake man look at what it's doing to you. Just the idea of threatening it turned you into a freakin crack addict begging to get his next fix!"

"No I wasn't-" Peter began only to be cut off by Eddie

"Yes you were Parker, I've busted enough drug dens, cured enough addicts to recognize one when I see them. You may not be addicted to Coke, or Meth or that Poison shit Bane used to traffic but the signs and symptoms are still there. Hell I used to be in your same exact shoes when I was Venom"

"You use do the exact same thing when you first started wearing Venom after we first discovered all those years ago on Mongol's world" Felicia said as she stepped forward "You keep it with you at all times, hell you disguise it as your clothes or another one of your suits so no one suspects and when people find it and get too close you turn into fuckin Golum trying to get the Ring back!"

"That one's Cassandra's, just to let you know" Kaine butted in

"She knows?" Peter asked with surprise

"And Jason and Bruce" Ben said with a sigh "And Zatanna too and maybe Fate because he tends to know everything that goes on in here and Clair obviously"

"Great… so who's in charge of the Insurgency now?" Peter asked

"Still you, Bruce as surprising as this will sound still thinks you can beat this, which you will. You did once you can do it again" Ben stated in a serious tone

Peter was silent for a moment before Kaine spoke up "Look we get why you went back to Venom, Peter. Diana joining Superman's side, Otto blowing up Metropolis with the Joker, being forced underground with the heroes that we used to look up to and be friends with hunting us, we get it. You feel powerless and part of you thinks that Venom can help you, can keep you safe but it can't. All the Symbiote cares about is causing you to lose yourself to your rage and spread nothing but death, pain and misery just like it's spawn Carnage"

"What about Toxin?" Eddie asked with a quirked brow

"Ehh I'm still on the fence with him since he doesn't kill but the way he leaves you when he's done will make you wish he had" the dark spider themed hero said

"Fair enough" Eddie nodded in agreement

"Well what do you propose I do? I try to take a super pill, it advances my Cancers even further, I don't use it and I can barely take on half the Justice League. Venom is the only thing as much as I hate to admit it, to give me a fighting chance against them"

"What about the Juggernaut or Agnir the breaker of souls? Two beings with strength that surpass even Superman and you beat them" Ben countered as he sat down next to Peter "You didn't beat them by out punching them Peter, you beat them by out thinking them, hell it's how Batman beats half the people he's faced"

"Those times were different, one you just had to remove his helmet and have a decent telepath nearby which there was in the form of Martian Manhunter. The other… he was more focused on bringing about the end of the Norse Gods then killing me" Peter said as he looked down at his hands "But the Justice League? It's filled with people that are as smart if not smarter than me, are every bit as resourceful if not more so because they have access to advance alien tech and think even faster than I could hope to imagine, couple that with world class assassin training, super speed, super senses, god like strength and the ability to level a country… how the hell do I beat that, let alone try to fight it?"

"Your Spider-man… you always find away" Eddie said with a shrug "Plus your unbearably stubborn and will still keep fighting even after half the bones in your body are broken and you're on the verge of death. Hell, when you did actually die you still came back and kept fighting"

"Look we know it won't be easy, and we know that Venom offers a good alternative… but it's the wrong one Peter" Felicia said as she placed a hand on his shoulder "What's the point in fighting the regime if you won't even still be there to bask in that victory?"

Peter was silent for a long time as they stood there in somber silence. Finally after what felt like hours Felicia spoke "We're placing Venom in lock up, he's not going anywhere and you're not wearing him again. Kaine and Ben have offered to help you and Barbara start finding a cure for those tumors you have inside you along with Clair when she can spare the time"

"And I can help stave off their growth with my powers. While they may be too much for Anti-Venom's ability to heal because they were made by some cosmic nuclear energy or something, they can at least make sure you don't get worse anytime soon"

"We can even study how he 'cures' people to help in our research" Ben nodded towards the man before glancing back at his brother "Peter, you were always there for us, now it's our turn to be there for you"

Peter was silent after that, not knowing what to really say. Kaine then grabbed Eddie's shoulder and nodded towards the door "Come on, gotta alien symbiote to lock up"

The former host of Venom nodded and followed Tarantula out while Ben and Felicia stayed with Peter who remained silent and in deep thought

"Let's hope we won't too late with this…" Eddie said after they were far enough away

"You, me and the others too Brock" Kaine said as he held up the cutter he threatened Venom with

'Why do I have the sudden feeling I should just say to hell with it and just burn the fucker now?' Kaine thought as he couldn't beat the sudden sense of foreboding he was feeling

…

And done.

So next chapter the time skip and we pick up with the Lanterns return to earth to stop Superman and Sinestro

Was thinking of using that Mary Jane science I mentioned last chapter but I eventually ended up scrapping it, mainly because I've decided to go a different route for our favorite red head. But she will show up next chapter and the few after that before all hell breaks loose
