They return inside the station to get the pan into affect.
"So, this plan of yours is to broadcast a symbol of hope." Hank recaps the plan.
"Also a speech about hope." Cat finishes.
"While we're amplifying Spider-Man's brain power to somehow protect himself from Myriad to reach through all of the city." Cat explains. "There's scientific evidence to explain my plan."
"Myriad works by shutting down the connection between the amygdala and rostral anterior cingulate cortex. The parts of the human brain that give rise to optimism and hope." Max explains to them.
"So, when Pe...Spider-Man was talking to me and was focusing on hope, and he touched my head, it sparked them back up. Gave me hope." Gwen explains. "That's what Spider-Man does to me and what they will do when Max gets the connections done.
"If. This equipment is a dinosaur." Max states to them. "If I can get her speech on TV, and Spider-Man's brain activity to go through all the computers and phones with their symbols, I'm even more of a genius than even I thought." Max says as he places the devices onto Peter's head.
"Okay, were all set." Max says and puts them on the air.
Peter feels everything from his life that has given him hope rise back up, as it gives him the power he needs to send a signal throughout the city while Kara gives her speech.
"Citizens of National City. This is Supergirl and Spider-Man, and we hope you can hear us." Kara starts off and sees that Peter is holding onto the hope to keep sending the signal. "We have been attacked. Mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors, children, everyone suddenly stopped by a force of evil as great as this world has ever known. Your attacker has sought to take your free will, your individuality, your spirit. Everything that makes you who you are. When facing an attack like this, it's easy to feel hopeless. We retreat, we lose our strength, lose ourselves. I know. I lost everything when I was young. When I first landed on this planet, I was sad and alone. But I found out that there is so much love in this world out there for the taking."
As she continues to give her speech, Max and Gwen start sending the pictures of the Spider-Man and Supergirl symbol for all to see. "And you, the people of National City, you helped me."
Throughout the city, everyone is breaking free and is seeing the symbols.
"You have me back to myself. You made me stronger than I ever though possible, and I love you for that. Now, in each and everyone of you, there is a light, a spirit, that can not be snuffed out. That won't give up. I need your help again. I need you to hope. Hope. That you will remember that you can all be heroes. Hope. That when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit, you will fight back and thrive. Hope. That those who once may have shunned you will, in a moment of crisis come to your aid. Hope. That you will see again the faces of those you love and perhaps even those you've lost."
All of their phones go off and they look to see everyone is waking up and symbols are appearing on their phones.
"You did it, Spider-Man." Gwen tells the hero as they start shutting it down.
"Nice work, team." Hank congratulates them as Peter is trying to shake off a migraine for focusing that much mental energy.
"Now the entire city is Myriad-proof." Max states happy to say.
-
After getting everything back to normal, Peter is standing outside of Gwen's labs as she's cleaning up the mess and he thinks back to what Kara said in her speech.
"You okay?" Kara asks as she walks up to him.
"I don't know." Peter admits to her. "After everything, I thought Gwen never kept secrets from me. And she never told me that the reason we started dating was because Hank told her to learn my secrets."
"Maybe she was just afraid of how you would react. I mean, why would she still be dating you after you became a member if she didn't need to?" Kara asks him. "I think she loves you, and that she didn't want to loose you. Do you still love her?"
"Till the end of the world." Peter admits.
"Then you know what to do." Kara says and leaves to talk to Alex.
Peter goes inside the labs and Gwen looks to see him walking in. "Peter, before you break up with me, I use want you to know I'm so-"
Gwen gets interrupted by Peter walking up to her and passionately kissing her. Gwen was confused for a second before returning the kiss happy that he's not breaking up with her as she originally thought.
But she needs answers, so she breaks off. "I'm gonna need an explanation." She tells him.
"Look, I was hurt to have to hear you kept a secret from me through Non and not you. But I understand why you didn't tell me." Peter tells her and places his hand across her cheek. "And I know I can always count on you to be there for me." He says and moves to kiss her again when Alex enters the lab.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but we've got a new problem." Alex warns them and they get told the Kryptonians are using the Myriad to destroy everyone's minds.
"The Kryptonians were using Myriad for mind control because the frequency penetrates neural tissue. Now, since we got the Anti-Myriad update from Spider-Man, they're increasing the frequency. We are talking terahertz jumps. It's like usi an uzi on a mosquito." Max explains to them.
"And the humans are the mosquito." Gwen guesses.
"Once the wave reaches its full potential, the electromagnetic energy will create enough pressure to...to kill every human being on earth." Max finishes explaining.
"How long do we have?" Hank asks him.
"Four hours." Max tells them. "I usually love a good countdown, but this is bad."
"Can you find the source and shut it down?" Alex asks him.
"You're lucky I work well under pressure." Max says and gets to work. "Finding them will be the easy part, but defeating them with only two supers and Superman out of commotion, that's the only problem."
"And to think I thought you'd learned by now, we can handle anything." Kara tells him knowing the two of them is all they need. Clark would be a bit of a help, but they have to do without.
"I know you can handle anything. But I'm actually worried. The two of you are going in with no backup, and humans can't get close to the source without exploding." Max explains to them. "There is a chance of this being a suicide mission."
"We're never going to stop. We will finish this for good." Peter promises him.
"That's what I'm rooting for." Max tells them.
"Let's get your suit some updates to keep you alive." Gwen says and drags him off to the labs and Kara sees they made up and is happy for them
-
Gwen updates all of Peter's weapons so that they are filled with kryptonite so he can fight off the army of Kryptonians.
"Repulsers now have a Kryptonite setting, you now have several kryptonite missiles, your metallic arms are even laced with kryptonite. You are ready to fight." Gwen tells him.
Peter smiles at her and remembers the suicidal mission statement Max told them and he knows if he survives or not, he has to ask.
"Listen, before I go, I never officially got your answer on the bridge." Peter tells her and pulls out the ring box to her. "What do you say, Gwen Stacy?" He asks her.
Gwen smiles at him and quickly kisses him before taking the ring and placing it on her finger. "The answer is Yes. My answer will always be yes." She tells him and pulls him into another kiss.
"Hey, love birds." Hank's voice fills the labs and they turn to see him in the doorway. "I'm happy for the two of you, but we know where they are. Time to suit up, Spider-Man." He says before leaving.
Peter quickly kisses Gwen before putting his mask back on. "Duty calls." He tells her before leaving.
"An Omegahedron." Kara says as they see the location Max found them at. "We used these as energy sources on Krypton. Just one of those can power an entire city."
"And they're using it to try and destroy the planet." Peter states. "Yep, normal super villains."
"Yep, and it's energy is building by the second." Max tells him.
"So where are the Kryptonians hiding?" Alex asks.
"About five hundred miles northeast of here. Nevada." Max replies.
"What's in Nevada?" Peter questions, not seeing why the most powerful forces on earth would be hiding there.
"In my experience, mediocre buffets and regret." Max jokes.
"It's Fort Rozz." Hank tells them.
"You guys just left the prison there?" Kara asks him.
"You try moving an one million ton alien spacecraft." Hank states to her. "We concealed it using stealth technology we found on board. Made sure the government cordoned off the area."
"That makes it the perfect hiding spot." Gwen replied to that. "They've been hiding in their cage."
"Then let's go." Peter says and starts walking away when Hank stops them.
"I'm coming with you." He tells them.
"What?" Peter asks him.
"You're gonna need all the help you can get." Hank says and transforms back into J'onn.
"Spider-Man, Supergirl, and the Martian Manhunter. Best team up ever!" Gwen states since Hank told her what he's called.
-
The three hero's go flying into the area and see the prison.
"So how do we smoke them out?" Kara asks when Peter's scanners are picking up approaching targets.
"I think we already did." Peter tells them as Non and Indigo come flying up to them and landing.
"Where's your army?" Kara asks.
"Already in their sleeping pods." Non tells them. "Ready for the journey that awaits once we dispose with the three of you."
"And the Omegahedron?" J'onn asks.
"It's right here." Non says while holding the device in his hand. "Take it." He states before tossing it to their feet. "Smash it into little bits. You still won't stop us. It's just a means to an end. It's power comes from her." He says looking at Fort Rozz.
"Can't smash that to little bits, huh?" Indigo asks them.
"You willing to make a bet?" Peter asks Indigo, willing to try.
"This is not what Astra wanted." Kara tells Non. "Please, don't kill everyone." She begs him.
"Your aunt wanted to save this planet. The humans extinction will do just that." Non tells them.
"Like Noah after the flood." Indigo finishes. "Only without Noah. Or you." She says before speeding up to them only for Peter to have blasted her back with his reflexes.
Non then speeds up and starts fighting Supergirl and J'onn flies to help her.
Peter decides while they're doing that, he'll make sure Indigo stays down and fights her from the ground. Peter sends a blast her way and she dodges it and speeds her way and breaks down into his suit.
"I've upgraded myself since the last we fought." Indigo tells Peter as she starts taking over his suit.
"There's something you should know. So did I." Peter tells her and puts the suit on self destruct and ejects out of it. The suit keeps Indigo inside of itself, curtsy of Gwen, and destroys itself. "A gift from my fiancée." He states to the now dead virus when his senses go off and he sees that Kara's in trouble.
"Tell your parents I said hello." Non tells Kara.
"Tell them yourself." Kara says as they both start using heat vision and Kara is failing. Peter looks and sees that J'onn is near but looks like he's injured and Kara gets the upper hand and takes down Non.
"We did it!" Kara cheers to them. "We won."
"We still need to shut down Myriad." Peter reminds her.
"It can't be shut down, fools." Peter's Iron-Spider mask tells them as they look at it. "I already locked the system. The engines won't fire. You won't be able to fly Fort Rozz away. All you'll be able to do is sit back and watch everyone around you die. But between Krypton and Mars, I guess tags old hat for you three." The mask says in the voice if Indigo before shutting down.
"We need to get that thing off the planet." Peter says and they need to find a way to do so.
"We can't get rid of it if we can't power the ship. I'll fly the ship into space myself." Kara tells them.
"If you do that, there will be no oxygen, no gravity, you won't survive in space." Peter informs her.
"I was sent to protect earth. And that's what I'm going to do." Kara tells him. "You helped me be a great hero, Peter. I can't thank you enough for that."
"And you taught me to never give up on hope, friends or family. I'm not gonna let you just die." Peter tells her.
"There's no other choice. The world will need Spider-Man, it doesn't need to loose both of its heroes at once." Kara says before flying off and starts using her strength to lift Fort Rozz.
Peter and J'onn watch from the ground as she flies it above the atmosphere and into space where she's pulled unconscious as Fort Rozz drifts off into space and she starts getting dragged back into earth's atmosphere.
"She's not gonna make it." J'onn conforms the inevitable.
Peter watches as his friend falls to earth, his heart racing when suddenly something inside of him just...snaps.
He then feels a new found strength inside of himself and looks up to Kara before kneeling down.
"What are you doing?" J'onn asks him when suddenly Peter takes a leap high into the air and J'onn watches as he suddenly begins to fly on his own. No suit, no help, just himself.
Peter keeps flying as fast as he can before catching Kara with incredible strength that makes Kara feel like a normal human. He doesn't understand how he's doing this when he suddenly realizes that he doesn't have his suit and looks to see he's flying in mid air.
-
Kara later wakes up to see she's back at the DEO being checked on by Alex.
"What happened?" Kara asks Alex.
"You saved the world. And then Spider-Man saved you." Alex explains to her.
"How? His suit was destroyed." Kara remembers since she left Peter his suit was used to take down Indigo.
"That's something we should have in private after Peter learns himself." Alex says and as she sits up. "But there a lot of people out there wanting to say thank you." She tells Kara and they leave to get an applause form everyone and sees Peter is back in his backup Iron-Spider.
"I got word from the President. She's indebted to the two of you." Hank tells Kara and Peter. "And after everything that's happened in recent events, we won't be keeping secrets from each other. Secrets protect no one. They only undermine what we're striving to accomplish, peace. And even though we've defeated Non and Myriad, evil still persists and there are ever more dangers that we face. Our enemies remain at home, abroad and in the skies beyond our world."
-
Later on, the team is in Gwen's lab to get answers to what the heck happened with Peter out there.
"Okay, after doing multiple tests on your blood, I learnt something. I don't know how we missed this in the five years you've been working with us, but you actually do have half Kryptonian DNA in your system. We just never tested for that since you had human traits." Gwen tells Peter.
"What exactly does that mean?" Hank asks her.
"It means that inside of his body are a few strands of powers, not enough for Peter to use those powers permanently or even almost at all, but enough for when he has enough of an adrenaline rush, he can access them for a blimp second. Similar to how women lift cars to save their children." Gwen explains.
"So, I do have powers like heat vision, flight, bulletproof, Ice breath?" Peter asks her.
"Maybe. But it took a serious amount of pressure and adrenaline to just bring out flight." Gwen warns him.
"So, what will we call this amazing super Spider-Man?" Kara asks him.
"Super-Spider?" Peter takes a shot. "Just don't expect him to be saving your backside every time, Skirt. I'll leave super to you, leave the spider to me." He warns her.
"Spider-Man stays in his Lane, Supergirl stays in hers." Kara agrees.
-
That night, Kara and everyone have come together to celebrate not only their victory to saving their world, but to celebrate the future Mr. and Mrs. Parker.
That party however gets interrupted by something crashing to earth and the three heroes go to check it out.
What they fins shocks them as it's a pod.
"That pod. It's identical to mine." Kara tells them.
"And mine." Peter says and the two of them run up to the front of the pod to find out who's inside.
"Spider-Man, Supergirl, be careful. We don't know what's in there." J'onn warns them and Kara rips the front of the pod off.
"Oh my god." She says after seeing what's inside.
It's another person.
Another alien.
"This planet's getting a bit crowded, wouldn't you agree?" Peter asks her.
