Answers to reviewers questions or statements:
heroman45: When Anti-Venom tried to cure Spider-man of the left over bits of Venom that were still in Spider-man's blood in the comics, he also began to drain the radiation from him which gives him his powers and make him human again. Even if Peter was willing to be depowered to try and get rid of these cancers which aren't normal given what made them, the Insurgency can't afford to lose him in terms of his usefulness of being deployed into the field. Which is why they've decided to study Anti-Venom's ability to completely purge people of any impurities in their body to see if they can replicate it or at the very least make it so that if they do try it on Spider-man, he doesn't lose his powers as well
kspidey2: Yes, he found out back when he was made the head o the Insurgency by Batman. Diana will wake up in year three and we will see things from her side. Diana will find out about Peter's health in between years three and four.
Anonymous: In the Injustice comics, Starfire had been imprisoned in the Phantom Zone with the other Teen Titans by Superman. I don't think Cyborg is aware of this yet
Mcleanbryce7: I already have something to cure it in the works
marveldcfan: No, there won't be a love triangle between Supergirl, Spider-man and Wonder Woman… doesn't mean there won't be one though…
Jason Kruger Myers: Year three is when things will start to deviate from what's shown, it'll still have magic and all that but will go down different routes and come to different ends during the event and years four and five will have some major changes to them, the main story will be there but only like forty percent, the other sixty will be my alterations or expansions on certain things and situations that I feel wont taken or flushed out enough

Year Two…
"So how is he?" Mary Jane questioned ben as he returned from a meeting with the Insurgency
"Peter?" the man asked with a raised brow
At this Mary Jane rolled her eyes as she leaned against the door "No, Batman who else do you think I'm talking about"
Ben chuckled at that before his face sobered slightly "Well it's been just about seven months since he's had contact with Venom and so far, there's been no real serious relapses"
"Has he had any other episodes?" the red head asked as Ben entered the living room and collapsed on the sofa with a huff
"Just one" Ben said as he rubbed his eyes in exhaustion "Thankfully there nowhere near as bad as they can be because of the regular ritual things that he has with Zatanna. Who knows, we may have curved the return of the Other"
"Hopefully… last thing we need is the Other's return on top of Peter losing himself to Venom, this time probably for good" Mary Jane said as she sat down next to Ben and leaned against his shoulder and closed her eyes
The two sat there for what felt like hours before suddenly the baby monitor near them began to pick up the sounds of May and April waking up. Mary Jane went to stand but Ben placed a hand on her shoulder
"Hey I got this"
"You sure?" she asked
Ben nodded "Positive, sides about time I start pulling my weight around here"
"Ugh, ignore what my sister's been saying" Mary Jane groaned as she fell back on the couch while Ben chuckled
"Kind of hard to when we're staying in her house until this whole thing with Superman going evil is resolved"
"Hopefully soon, I'm really missing my walk-in closet and shower now" Mary Jane chuckled
"And I miss being able to record my favorite shows and not have them deleted" ben said as he made his way to the room that Mary Jane's sister was letting them use for April and May
Mary Jane sat there and stared up at the ceiling before she glanced out the window, her brow furrowed when for a brief moment, she thought she saw a shadow flicker before it vanished. She slowly got up and approached the window, her gaze remaining rooted to where she thought she saw something move before she carefully locked the window
"Ben?" she called out as she backed away from the window and made her way to her husband
"Yeah?" he called back as he was busy changing both his daughters' diapers with new ones
"Do you have any of the Insurgency watching us?" Mary Jane asked as she appeared in the doorway with a frown
Ben's eyes narrowed at this "…No, why?"
"Because I think I just saw someone out there, like on the roof of the apartment across the street and last I checked, Coast's city's hero' flies and wear's green" Mary Jane said
Ben was silent for a moment before nodding "I'll finish up here and then go take a look"
"Be careful out there, just a week ago you almost got caught by one of those Yellow Lanterns" Mary Jane warned
"Yeah… still can't believe Superman's dumb enough to work with Sinestro of all people" Ben shook his head at the insanity "I mean it's not like the guy has a habit of turning on people and manipulating others!"
"Like Peter said, Superman's strong not smart" Mary Jane said dryly which caused Ben to chuckle
"Kaine said something similar only less child friendly" Ben said with a grin before finishing up changing April before handing her to Mary Jane while May sat in her crib and toyed with her hair
Ben leaned down and gave the little red headed girl a small kiss on the head which caused her to giggle before Ben repeated the action with April and then Mary Jane before heading for the door "I'll be back in a few… hopefully"
Mary Jane nodded at him before he pulled on his hood and leaped into the night time sky and shot a web line out and began to swing towards where she saw the shadow flicker. She than glanced down at her brunette daughter and gave her a small kiss on the cheek "Let's hope it was just mommy seeing things…"
As she went to retrieve May and take them both out into the living room to play, a figure silently watched her from just outside the children's window…
"Hmm so the clone as forged himself a family…" Kraven muttered before glancing towards the direction that the Scarlet Spider went to investigate "Hmmm… I wonder how far you will go to keep them safe Clone…"
He then backed into the shadows and silently left just as Ben landed at his spot and casted a curious glance around before continuing to patrol the rest of the neighborhood, completely oblivious to what was coming…
…
"So what's the word?" Peter asked as he approached Barbara who was busy going through some of the data extracted from Superman's fortress over the years to see if they missed anything
"Dinah just contacted me, Guy and the Green Lanterns will be here in two weeks" the red head replied as she glanced at a monitor that showed the current whereabouts of key members of Superman's regime and troop deployments
Peter nodded at this "I'm guessing he's bringing in half the Corps to take Superman and Sinestro's Corps down"
"he did say they we're bringing their own planet which means-"
"Mogo" Peter finished before glancing at a surprised Barbara and shrugged "Guy likes to talk…"
"So I've heard" the tech wiz aid dryly before glancing at an image of Superman's fortress and let out a sigh "Christ, getting into that thing's going to be a nightmare"
"Yeah well that's what the First Born's for. His strength and durability should be more than enough to get through any defenses Superman has set up" Peter said as he studied the images as well
"What about the Kent's, their still there according to our little mole in Superman's camp" Barbara advised
"Yeah well here's hoping they don't mind some temporary house guests" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his head
"So who you taking with you this time?" Barbra asked
"Jay, Steve, Rose, Kaine, Grifter, some of Gordon's men and Eddie" Peter revealed with a thoughtful expression "Was thinking of bringing Jason or Cassandra but something tells me they'd rather be on the mission that'll give them some alone time with Damian"
"And you'd be right" Barbra scowled at the image of the fallen Robin that killed Dick "Still can't believe he's run off to Superman"
"Well it's not like Bruce made the kid feel welcomed after what happened" Peter pointed out
"Yes, but Superman goes against everything Dick and Bruce stand against. For him to join the very side that Dick would be fighting against if he was still alive… he's practically pissing on his grave at this point" Barbara said before switching off the monitor and rubbing her brow in exhaustion "And Dick would still be trying to reach out to the little monster…"
"It's who Dick was, guy had a tendency to look on the bright side of things and see the good in others" Peter said as he followed Barbra out of the monitor room "You should get some rest, in just a few days things are going to get very busy around here"
"I could say the same about you" Barbra said with a pointed look towards the man who chuckled in response
"Fair enough… I just have to go check on some things with Clair before getting some shut eye" Peter said as he turned to leave
He didn't make it five steps before Barbra spoke up "Peter…"
He stopped and glanced back at the red head with a curious expression "Yeah?"
"…Do you think we can beat Superman?"
"…"
"…"
"Yeah…" Peter said with a nod before resuming his trek towards his destination all the while wondering if they could, it was Superman after all
The guy does have a pretty expansive history of facing down overwhelming odds and coming out on top and well this time around he won't be pulling his punches and neither will the rest of the League
'Least Diana won't be involved in this madness…' Peter thought as his mind drifted to his wife that he hasn't seen in close to a year now and it was starting to drive him nuts 'Hopefully Cassie after we free her and the rest can help me get to Themyscira hopefully… I refuse to just up and die before seeing Diana again, super cancer be dammed'
…
And done
Next chapter, Peter meets with his team to let them know what the plan is when they attack Superman's fortress and then all-out war breaks out with the arrival of the Green Lanterns Corps!
Some serious shit is about to go down in the final stretch of Year two that'll have some serious long lasting effects on the Injustice Universe, both canon and original
