Guest - the whole thing with Eddie and the Life Foundation is more like small Easter eggs or seeds, as I don't have any immediate plans to include either of them as of yet. But also, they're just in case I do decide to add them in. With Crisis, Flashpoint, I have a lot of times of history to add them in and change history if I wish.


Later that day, Peter made his way to STAR Labs where he walked around the receptionist desk, waiting for someone to greet him when he saw the only one around was the janitor.

"Hey, you lost or something?" The janitor asked him.

"No, I'm waiting for someone. Curtis Connors." Peter explained to him.

"Oh." The janitor seemed to recognize him immediately. "You're that smart kid from the other day with the class. Second in your class?"

"Yep." Peter sighed and couldn't help but chuckle at that. Something told him that second in class thing is going to haunt him through this place. His phone rang and he looked to see it was Ben calling him. Peter didn't really feel like talking to him right now and declined the call before putting it away. "Peter Parker."

"Max Dillon." The janitor introduced himself to Peter. "Janitor, electrician, and I knew what you're thinking. A place like this shouldn't need something like that, huh?"

Peter had to admit he was indeed thinking that. "Yeah, kinda."

"Yeah, well, as they're changing the world, I'm making sure they have the workplace in order to change the world," Max said, taking his job with pride, something Peter found sweet and uplifting.

"That's a nice way of thinking." Peter complimented him when Connors found him. "Oh, I gotta go. Hope to see you again, Max."

"Yeah, just go and change the world. Come work here, I'll clean your station extra for the hell of it." Max told him, earning a chuckle from Peter as he followed Connors into the labs.


As they made their way behind the scenes, Connors introduced to a few of the places that weren't on the tour he took just the other day.

"We have protein structure, rDNA, chromatography, transgenic testing, that's X-Ray and video," Connors said as he showed Peter spring the laboratories. "That's the only one on the planet."

"I remember that," Peter said when he eyed a device behind a glass wall in the back. "

"The Ganali device." Connors saw what he was eying.

"Yeah, I remember seeing a photo of it in...my home." Peter was going to say in his dad's office, but he doesn't even know what to think anymore right now. "As a kid."

"The idea was so simple, load it with an antigen. It creates a cloud, which can be dispersed over a neighborhood, an entire city. Theoretically, you could cure polio in an afternoon."

"That's awesome." Peter complimented as he looked closer to the glass.

"Well, others didn't think as much." Someone said, getting Peter's attention towards someone sitting in a chair near his desk when he turned, showing his long locks of dark hair that he seemed eerily proud of. "If you put a toxin in, then we'd all be dead in minutes. Or if you wanted to avoid it, you can't do much."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ramon," Connors said as he looked at the device. "So here it lies, just gathering dust."

"A shame. But understandable." Peter guessed. "I mean, didn't exactly work out well for Gotham and Poison Ivy with her spurs."

"Yeah, if she were to get her hands on this, she would have the city under her command in under a night," Cisco said, looking to Peter. "You look familiar."

"This is Peter Parker, the son of Richard and Mary Parker." Connors introduced them.

"Oh, right. Parker." Cisco finally remembered the guy who would come in a few days a week and disappear. "Nice to meet you, Peter."

"Thanks, you too," Peter said.

"Cisco, don't you think you should be getting ready for the accelerator tonight?" Connors asked him.

"Right," Cisco said as he walked away from Peter as the boy then followed Connors into his labs and showed Peter how to work the controls and to add his algorithm.

"What you see here is a computer simulation of a lizard," Connors said as the lizard's tail fell off and regrew. "Many of these amazing creatures have brilliantly learned to adapt that they can regenerate entire limbs at will. You can imagine my envy." Then it pulled up a model of a three-legged mouse. "We've been trying to harness this capability and transfer it to ourz] host subject, Freddy the three-legged mouse. Enter the algorithm now."

Peter was starting to work on just that when his phone went off. Pulling it out, he saw that it was Ben again.

"Do you need to get that?" Connors asked Peter, willing to wait.

"No," Peter said as he declined the call and put the algorithm in, and showed it to Connors as he added it into the simulation. "Okay, you see what I'm trying to do?"

"Preempt the proteins?" Connors took notice of what it was doing while the computer running the simulation.

"Preempt the immune response," Peter confirmed as the computer ran the simulations.

Pending...failed.

Pending...failed.

Subject deceased.

Connors sighed and saw it failed them just as he walked away, and the computer went off again.

Peptide algorithm accepted. Regrowth complete.

"Wait," Peter called him back as they saw the regeneration was successful.

"Extraordinary," Connors said as he placed a hand on Peter's shoulder. "Thank you."

Connors then brought him over to their mice Freddy and Wilma where they were ready to inject them with the serum.

Connors handed Freddy to Peter as he held him down so Connors could inject him. "Hey, Buddy. I got ya."

"Careful," Connors warned Peter as he tried to keep a steady hand. "Wouldn't want to stick you by mistake. Human trials aren't until next week." He then successfully injected Freddy and they just had to wait and see the results.


While he was doing that, before he went to give his whole speech, Eobard Thawne went to the Time Vault and activated the artificial intelligence, Gideon, to show him the outcome of today.

"Gideon, show me the future." He asked of her.

"Certainly, Doctor," Gideon said as she pulled up a picture of the Flash in the streets with a new figure that was never there before.

"The timeline has changed." Thawne noticed as he looked at the new headline. Once it read: 'FLASH VANISHES IN CRISIS'.

Now it read:

'FLASH VANISHED IN CRISIS'

'SPIDER-MAN HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE THE BATTLE'

"Spider-Man?" Thawne asked, never hearing of this man in the original timeline he was from. "Who the hell is Spider-Man?"

Gideon then pulled up a few dozen news articles from the future of a million different people that Spider-Man will defeat in the upcoming months.

'MASKED MENACE TERRORIZES CENTRAL CITY'

'WHO IS THE WALL-CRAWLING MENACE?'

A lot of the articles have to do with the word menace. Thawne thought of it and decided whoever he was would be someone he would have to deal with when he finally revealed himself.


By the time that Peter and Connors were done, they were just in time to get caught up in the crowd coming to see the turning on of the accelerator.

Any other day, Peter would kill to be where he was, but he knew he needed to get home and have his ear bitten off by Ben. Connors stayed behind and was looking over the formula and making sure everything was going well with the experiment.

On his way out, he bumped into someone with who he guessed was his date.

"Oh, sorry!" Peter apologized as he looked to the guy and his date, tripping over his laces.

"No worries, it's okay. No harm done, kid." He promised as he looked over to his friend.

"So, Barry did you find proof of the impossible in Starling City? Or did you just make my dad mad for no reason?" Iris West asked Barry Allen. "Or even any trace of your brother?"

The Watcher watched this and almost groaned at the sight. "He was right there!" He looked over to Peter who's going home to get his history on the right track whilst also missing his brother who has been searching for him. "Humans. Always so blind to the bigger picture they fail to see the obvious before them."


With that done and over, Peter made his way home and found Ben sitting right outside the door. And the near sight of him seemed to spark something in him as he already got irritated.

"Want to explain where you were today, young man?" Ben asked him.

Before Peter could respond, his phone went off and he went to fish it out when Ben stopped him.

"No, don't answer that. But I'm glad to know it's working." Ben stated, getting Peter a little more frustrated. "Your aunt went down to your school and was looking around, worried sick. Get in there and apologize now."

Peter sighed and knew he at least had to own up to that and made his way inside where he found May sitting in the living room. "Aunt May, I'm so sorry."

"Honey, you don't have to apologize," May assured him. "Your unc-"

"The hell he doesn't." Ben snarled and followed Peter inside.

"Ben." May scoffed, not seeing it as that big a deal.

"Look, I'm sorry." Peter apologized to May and looked to Ben to explain himself. "I got distracted, didn't notice-"

"Oh, he got distracted," Ben told May as if she wasn't in the room when he just said it. "Your aunt, my wife, had to walk around half the Damn city looking around for you."

"Ben, honestly, it's not a big of a deal," May stated, knowing Peter's just being a normal teenager and knew this was gonna happen sooner or later.

"Don't defend him," Ben tells May.

"I'm not defending him." May scoffed, getting a little irritated herself.

"You are defending him," Ben informed her before turning to Peter, who was just growing more and more irritated. "Listen to me, Peter."

"Yeah. Sure." Peter sighed, wanting to get this over with. He knew he screwed up, but he's getting a little irritated tonight after learning the truth.

"You're a lot like your father," Ben told him, only adding more fire to the flame to Peter. "And that's a good thing. But your father lived by a philosophy. A principle even. He believed that with great power, there must always come great responsibility."

Peter nodded and his emotions finally exploded as he looked down as tears started to form. Any other day, he would listen to what he's saying, but today, after what he's learned, he's pissed.

"That's nice. But you forgot to explain something." Peter told Ben as he wiped the tears away. "Which father?"

"What?" Ben asked, not understanding.

"Oh, I'm unclear if you're talking about my father or Richard Parker," Peter explained, sarcasm dripping off every word you could practically see it. "You know, maybe if you would clear up on that then that'll be swell."

May was confused after hearing this and Ben looked utmost shocked to hear he knew the truth.

"Ten years," Peter stated with almost a bark to it. "You didn't think it was your responsibility to tell me I'm adopted?!"

"Oh, come on. How dare you?" Ben asked him.

"How dare I?!" Peter asked him and May was basically stuck in the rising storm between the two. "How dare you! You had ten years to tell me the truth and you chose not to!"

May saw that the two were now going back and forth and decided to do what she could do to at least ease the tension.

"Okay," May said as she walked over and pushed Peter to the door. "Ben. I'll take him out, cool down a little. Just...wait here." She then led Peter out of the house and took him on a walk in order to cool down.

The Watcher saw as May and Peter left and Ben walked back and slummed down against the couch and felt like he had just lost Peter forever now.

"This is it. The last time Peter and Ben will ever see each other face to face. The moment he will always regret." The Watcher said with sadness as he knew Peter was going to regret this being the last time they talked. "Because...it's time for the accelerator to create their destinies."
