"Come on! Come on!" Paul complained as he tried swinging as fast as he could. Knowing his brother could be in great danger at the harbor, he moved as fast as he could to get there.

"Spidey, wait up!" He looked behind him and saw Venom swinging.

"No time to wait." Paul said as he kept going.

"Monica and Jean gave me a call! They told me what's going on! Heard anything from your brother yet?" Thomas asked as he tried to keep up with Paul.

"Not yet, but I..." Paul heard his phone go off then and saw it was from Marcus. Once he saw that, he landed down and answer. "Mark! Are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, Paul." Marcus said. "I got the medicine and I'm on my way back right now." That was a huge relief for Paul. "Listen, there's something you should know. Iguana and Fang are attacking the place. It sounds like they're trying to prevent Sable International's supplies or whatever from getting in."

"Wait. You snuck into a place with lethal agents, Fang, Iguana, but you managed to get out of there alive?" Paul said as he was surprised and impressed. "Marcus, it's great you got out of there alive, but what were you thinking heading down there in the first place?"

"I guess... I guess I was trying to be more like you." Marcus admitted. That really got to Paul. "I know that might sound stupid, but I felt like I had to do something. I even saved someone's life and it felt great."

"That does sound great, but we can talk later. Just get back to the shelter and get people that medicine. It might not stop the virus, but it should make it easier to deal with." Paul said. "I'll take care of Iguana and Fang." He ended the call there with him glad knowing his brother is safe.

"You mean WE'LL take care of those two." Thomas said as he was offering to help. "Blite and Sabella are busy helping Ray, but there's no way you can take on those two beasts alone." Paul certainly welcomed the help. They have a chance to catch two more dangerous criminals. He can't let that go.

...

The Harbor

Sable International was busy protecting their own. They fought off against Fang and Iguana, but they were ruthless. Fang jumped around from one spot to the next until he pounced on two of them and knocked them down. Just like the tiger he is, he savagely attacked every agent that came his way. Once he got them out of the way, he set his sights on the supplies. He was setting to destroy all of them.

"Bad kitty!" He turned around and saw Spider-Man swinging in and smashed his feet against Fang's face with him jumping back. "I always knew you were arrogant and obnoxious, but must you destroy things the regular, average, and actually decent people need."

"You talk like you peasants actually have reasons to be around. I suppose you are needed for grunt work." Fang said.

"Isn't that what you're doing now? Grunt work for Hydra?" Paul questioned.

"I'm only doing this so I can get back on top where I belong, but I have a feeling he'll give me that after I tear you to shreds!" Fang declared as he charged right at him. Paul jumped right over him and got behind him. He shot a couple lines on Fang's legs and caused him to trip and fall.

"Don't you have any pride, Francis?" Paul taunted. "You willingly mutated yourself all because you didn't like I had powers when you didn't. You blame me because you're not part of that great family of yours. Now, you act like you're above everyone and complain about doing things regular people do, but it seems like you have no issues working for Hydra."

"You don't know anything!" Fang shouted as he tried attacking him again. He swung his claw at him, but Paul did some backflips and avoided him. Fang tried going at him again, but Paul grabbed him by the arm and flipped himself around until Paul landed on his back and put Fang in a headlock.

"What is going on with you?" Paul said. "You're doing what Hydra wants you to do. He claims he can get you back on top, but I doubt he really means that."

"Shut up!" Fang shouted as he tried to shake Paul off, but Paul was holding on tight. "I want it all back! Ever since you came into my life, my life has been tarnished! I am an outcast from my own family! The Coinsith Family was one of the wealthiest and most successful family, and I was proud to be a part of it! We were the best at everything! Then, you came around and took it all from me!"

"Maybe that's really because you turned yourself into a mutant kitty." Paul said.

"I want it all back! I will fight for it!" Fang claimed. "No one, not even you will keep me from it!" He tried swinging his claws at Paul's head, but he kept moving from side to side and avoided him.

"That's what you're fighting for?!" Paul said as he looked up and spotted a crane right above them. "If that's all you're fighting for, you're a lot sadder than I thought." He said as he jumped off. "Let me knock some sense into you!" He webbed the crane and pulled down with all of his might. The crane came down and smashed right into Fang's head and knocked him down. "If all you fight for is yourself and your petty wants. You're not going to get anywhere!" Paul swung back around as Fang tried to get up and kicked him right in the face. Paul jumped off and landed on the side of a freight.

"I swear that I will kill you." Fang growled.

"Well, at least he's honest and persistent." Paul said. Just then, his spider sense alerted him of danger. He jumped back to the ground just as Iguana's tail smashed against it from above. "I was wondering when you were going to slither out."

"I see the poison didn't finish you. What does it take to get rid of a pesky spider like yourself?" Iguana questioned.

"You're the former scientist. You tell me." Paul said. "Anyway, I'm not the spider you should be concerned about right now." That was right when Venom came swinging in and landed down across from Iguana. He tried to attack him, but Iguana jumped off and landed on a different freight. "You got this one?"

"Oh yeah. I would love to have an entire suit made out of iguana skin." Thomas said as he got ready to fight.

"Fine with me. I prefer tigers to lizards anyway." Paul said as the two faced their chosen opponents. Thomas jumped over to Iguana and tried to strike him again, but Iguana jumped back with Thomas smashing his fist against metal. When that didn't work, he formed a blade out of his arm and stretched it out to him. However, Iguana jumped up and tackled him, but Thomas knocked him away. Fang came at Paul, but Paul jumped out of the way as Fang slashed through some metal.

"You really need a manicure, you know that." Paul joked. He shot a line at Fang, but he was able to catch it. Fang pulled and smashed Paul against the a freight. When that happened, Fang grabbed him by the neck and smashed him against it again. Fang tried to slash him with his other claw, but Paul grabbed it and tried to keep it back while Fang tightened his grip on him with his great strength.

"I'll crush your neck until it looks like a stem of a cherry!" Fang declared as he sounded really mad and annoyed. Paul tried his best to resist, but it wasn't easy. However, Paul acted quickly and shot webbing right in Fang's face with him struggling to take it off. As he struggled with that, Paul kicked him in the gut with all his strength and was able loosen Fang's grip just enough for Paul to push Fang off him. Once he was free, he slid kicked Fang's feet and knocked him down so he could move away and catch his breath.

"Sheesh, you overgrown hairball. What are you so upset about?" Paul said.

"It's all in my sight." Fang stated. "It's all before me now, and I will have it!"

"About being on top again? Get over yourself." Paul said.

"I want it all back! I stood proudly as a Coinsith, and I shall have it all back!" Fang claimed. "It's where I belong! It's where I should be! You were the one that took it all from me!"

"How is it my fault?" Paul questioned. "You were the one that transformed yourself into a mutant tiger. You resorted into a life of crime all because you got a stupid, lousy, and trivial superiority complex. All I did was save you back when you were a normal human. The only one to blame for what has happened to you Fang is yourself! Sure, your family might have been great, but that doesn't mean you were the best at everything. You are seriously messed up in the head, and I bet it's all because of those stereotypical pressures that come from being part of a rich family."

"Shut up!" Fang shouted as it seemed like Paul hit some truth in all of that. Fang went at him again, but Paul flipped to the side and shot a couple lines that latched to Fang's face. He pulled with all his might and kicked him right in the face, this time with some blood starting to flow out.

"Come on! Is that all you got?! Normal lizards look a lot tougher than you!" Thomas mocked as he kept fighting Iguana. Iguana swung his tail at him, but Thomas jumped up and avoided it. Then, Thomas unleashed tendrils from his symbiote and tried to tie them around Iguana. However, Iguana grabbed a hold of them and spun around with him giving Thomas a good throw. Thomas flew through the air, but he shot a couple lines that stuck to the giant metal crate and shot himself back down with him smashing himself against Iguana. Iguana was knocked right off from that attack. Thomas jumped down to attack, but Iguana moved out of the way.

"You'll have to move faster than that." Iguana said as he moved his way up to some more. "Your suit does interest me. I can't wait to study it, analyze it, and make what power it offers mine."

"Speaking of which, what did Hydra offer you to get you to be a part of all this?" Thomas questioned.

"What else? Two scientific minds acknowledged each other." Iguana said. "We agreed to cooperation in the pursuit of grand ideas, power, and more!"

"So all this is so that you could gain more power?" Thomas questioned. "Yep, you're a mad scientist. You got the crazy to go with it." Thomas decided to put an end to this as he jumped up high in the air. Then, he dived down to try and attack him, but Iguana ducked down and avoided him.

"Pathetic. You should have planned that better." Iguana said, but he jinxed it. Thomas shot a couple lines and latched on to Iguana. He pulled with all his might and had him fall on the pavement.

"You mean like that." Thomas said. Iguana got back up and got ready for another fight, but Paul stepped in as he swung around and smashed into Iguana with him being knocked back. "You done with Fang?"

"Not quite." Paul said as he looked back and saw Fang chased after him. He looked plenty mad and a little blood staining his face made him look more intimidating. Paul looked back at Thomas and used hand gestures to communicate with him and Thomas got it.

"Spider-Man! You're dead!" Fang shouted as he went right at him. Paul waited until the last minute before he jumped out of the way. When he did that, Paul and Thomas shot some webs at another freighter and opened it right up. Fang accidentally tackled Iguana and they both fell inside. Once they were both in there, the two heroes moved quickly and shut it with them webbing it down so those two couldn't get out.

"That's one way to cage some wild animals." Thomas joked with the two high-fiving. "Can you believe what these two were doing?"

"I'm more concerned about why they did it." Paul said. "One wanted more power, the other was self-obsessed. They were easy fools to manipulate." Fang and Iguana weren't right in the head, but at least now they can't hurt anyone.

"That's four down and only two to go." Thomas said.

"Yeah, but those last two will be the hardest of them all." Paul said as he knows Balancer and Hydra won't be so easy to beat.

...

The Shelter

Despite Paul's reasoning, Trisha still continued to work and do what she could to help people. She worked in the kitchen, but Monica and Jean came walking in with them both amazed how persistent Mrs. Porter is.

"Mrs. Porter, do you need some help?" Monica said.

"I could always use an extra pair of hands. Besides, I need to make some calls." Trisha said. "Where are the boys?"

"Paul and Marcus? They're fine. Paul is helping people out in the city and Marcus is actually on his way back." Jean said.

"Good. Those boys worry about me, but..." Trisha was about to complain about her sons, but she suddenly felt faint and nearly fell over. They both saw that and hurried over to help her.

"Are you okay?" Monica asked out of concern.

"Yes. I'm just..." Trisha tried to assure she was okay, but she started coughing in her hand and it sounded really bad. Trisha is saying she's good, but she's not. When she stopped coughing, Jean noticed something.

"Oh god..." Jean said as they could see blood in Trisha's hand. That's not good at all. Just as things were getting slightly better, things seems to be getting a lot worse.
