slickboy444: Their first encounter is far off but it will be something I can promise you that.

Casey: Yeah we celebrate Thanksgiving on October 10. Doc Ock will be in the background for a while and you'll see for sure who is in the love triangle in this chapter.

Eric: He wouldn't have had time to make the webbing. Sorry but Aquamaria is human at this point. Yeah there will be Kara/Donna tension later on. You're WAY off with the next chapter, that will never happen and yes things will get very nasty.

morring star: Doc Ock will not be a good guy, he can't have a new start this is Doc Ock from the Ultimate comics, and if you never read that then you should know that he's a multiple murderer, Doc Ock has killed a LOT of people, there's no way Peter would let him run free. Besides he's a nut job too.

Crolynx: Trust me I know and you'll love the plan he comes up with.

Big B: Oh it's farther then that when they'll meet I'm dragging this out. Doc Ock won't be alone either when he and Spider-Man meet.

Stoneman85: The new arms will look mainly like the ones in Ultimate comics mainly because they're more versatile.

Nighthawk: I know you are, but I wanted to give Peter a little choice, don't worry about the outcome.

X-Over: Their fight is a long way off and it will be a major battle don't worry about it.

Son Kenshin: Basically yes he is but he won't do anything directly for awhile. You're not the only one to want Peter to end up with Kara.

Sam: (Forgive me the other name was too long) I know, I know, I try but no one can live up to my expectations as my Beta, I'm still looking though. I'll try to keep that in mind but sometimes I get a little carried away.

Thanks to: Pokemonmaster14, Dr. Evan, malciah, Aaron, X0001, Gyre, KaliAnn, The Uncanny R-Man, c-wolf, ldypebsaby, sma, SiriusAboutMarauders, Jezrianna, Morlin

AN: Just remember even if Doc Ock wanted a clean slate actually doing it would be impossible for him. He's a multiple murderer, he's killed a LOT of people without remorse and you'll see that in play later on.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SPIDER

CHAPTER 15: LETTING GO

Peter was getting out of the shower, he only had on a pair of jeans and was toweling himself off, and he was getting the last of the wetness out of his hair so he didn't notice that when he entered his bedroom he wasn't alone. "Just as ripped as I last saw you." Peter jumped at the sound and looked to see Kara on his bed. She was in there in her Supergirl uniform laying on his bed.

K-Kara?! What are you doing here?" He was too shocked by her presence to remember that he only had on his jeans.

She grinned at him and crawled over to him on all fours in a way that Peter couldn't help but notice the hungry look in her eyes. A look he hadn't seen in a long time but one he recognize all to well. He backed up a little as she got off the bed and stepped up to him smiling. She was right up against his chest and was wondering what was going on. "You know…I've been thinking about that day in the bathroom." She said in a husky tone.

Peter swallowed hard at that. "Uh, yeah? And uh what-what exactly have you been thinking about?" He asked her nervously.

She leaned in closed and whispered into his ear as she placed her hands on his chest. "That I liked what I saw." Peter blushed a deep red then to his surprise Kara kissed him. Peter didn't know what was going on or why he was kissing her back, but he was and he was enjoying it. Kara led him back to the bed and pushed him down on it.

"Kara what?"

She kissed him deeply. "I want you Peter and I know you want me." She said to him straddling him and she pulled her white top off revealing a white bra holding her impressive breast. She was about to continue when they were interrupted.

"I thought so!" Peter turned to the balcony and in the open French doors was Donna also in uniform. "I knew you wanted him!" She snarled at Kara.

"Hey I've known him longer and seen him practically naked." Kara said sternly her eyes closing a bit at the dark haired girl.

"So?" Donna said her hands on he hips. "At least with me he copped a feel." Kara looked to Peter with a startled look and he only shrugged, not sure of what he would say wouldn't only make things worse. Donna walked up to them and Kara got off Peter.

Peter raised himself on his elbows and saw the two women staring at each other with a none to pleasant look on their faces. He wanted to saw something but he couldn't figure out what to say, what do you say in a situation like this? "So what do you want here anyway?" Kara said coldly.

"The same as you, him." Donna said nodding her head towards him. Now Peter was considering how to fix this place after these two wrecked the place. Then Donna smiled. "You know…there is enough of him to go around. What do you think?"

Kara suddenly smiled and to Peter's amazement Kara leaned in and actually kissed Donna. And Donna responded and Peter caught her grabbing Kara's ass. Peter's jaw nearly dislodged itself from dropping so fast. Then he saw the two girls pull away and both turned their attention to him and grinned.

"Oh man…" Now Peter knew that if Superman or Diana or both knew what was happening they would most likely be very, very pissed. And since he wasn't faster then a speeding bullet or as strong as either of them he was a dead man. 'But what a way to go.'

Donna unzipped the front of the costume down to her stomach and he could see her cleavage and that she wore no bra. Both girls were now on either side of him running their hands over his body and first Kara kissed him then Donna. Okay so he was experiencing every man's fantasy at the moment but some part of him kept telling him that these were his friends and this was wrong.

Too bad the lower part of him was overriding that. He ran his hands along their bodies and felt Donna necking him while Kara was kissing him over his chest.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Peter woke up to find himself in his bed, his heart pounding and sweating all over. He looked down and saw that he was still in his sleep ware, mainly just a T-shirt and sweatpants. He fell back onto the bed. "What…the hell was that?" He said to himself.

After slamming his hand onto the snooze button of the alarm he placed a hand on his forehead and calmed down as he felt his heart slow down. "Okay…so you had a dream that's it, not the first time." He did have to admit that he had dreams like that before. Of course mainly they were of MJ. Okay there were the few of Gwen and Black Cat and various ones with at least two of those three and the rare one with all three but it was nothing to get excited over, it was just a dream…right?

Peter just sighed and decided to get up and take a shower. After noticing a certain bulge he figured he would make that a cold shower. That is a very long and very cold shower.

While going to work at the Journal he was still lost in thought about that dream and what it mean. Was he attracted to Kara and Donna? Well of course physically that was a no-brainer but what about romantically? "Hey Peter," He turned to see Betty at her desk. She looked at him curiously. "What's up?"

"Oh nothing."

She took off her glasses and gave Peter a serious look at him. "Peter, come on. I mean you're this really nice guy but you don't open up around here. You're this mysterious employee and even though a few of the younger women in the secretary pool and accounting find that and I quote 'damn sexy' you can talk to me."

Peter sighed. "I'm just getting over something…did they really say that?"

Betty laughed a bit. "Hey it's only a few of them don't go thinkin' you're all that mister." Then she got a more serious look on her face. "So come on, talk to me. I mean is it a family thing?"

"Yes, no, I mean…" Peter sat down on the chair across from her desk and took a moment. He liked Betty and he had to admit he needed to make friends outside of his Spider-Man life, plus it would come out eventually. "You see…a few months back there was a fire at my home," Technically true there was a fire but omitted that it was created by a bomb. "I lost my last living relative my Aunt, my friend…and my girlfriend in it while I was out."

Betty placed a hand over her mouth. "Oh Peter…I'm so sorry. You mean you got no other family? What about your parents?"

"My parent died in a plane crash when I was a kid and I lived with my Aunt and Uncle my only living relatives. My uncle…he died three years ago from being shot."

Betty just sat there stunned. She knew that this city was dangerous at times but to lose all those people in your life. She noticed that at times he got this sad look on his face but he seemed so happy most of the time. She was wondering just how much was the real Peter that she saw around work.

"I know what it's like." She told him and Peter looked up at her with sad eyes. "I lost my dad two years ago. He was ran down by a drunk driver, by the time the ambulance was there…it was too late." Betty looked at a photo she kept on her desk of her, her mom, little sister and her dad.

"I'm sorry." Peter said now his turn to say that.

She smiled a little. "Thanks, you know what really hurt? I never got to say goodbye, I mean the last time I saw him was just…I mean if I had known it was going to be the last time…"

"You would have made the moment last." Peter finished and Betty nodded. "Yeah…I wish I had a chance to say goodbye too."

"You know what I do?" She asked him. "It's silly really…but I write him a letter now, just to get it out you know? I was something he told me as a kid. You write a letter and then burn it so who ever you were writing to gets it in the next life. I know it sounds strange but…it makes me feel better."

Peter smiled at her. "I don't think that's strange." Betty smiled back a little and nodded.

-Watchtower-

Peter, now as Spider-Man, was getting back from a small mission with Flash, Superman and a few other of Earth's heroes. It was just a basic thing; mainly this guy called the Weather Wizard of all things was making a blizzard in Florida. The guy wasn't that hard but what really was kind of annoying was that Flash found this comic that Kara showed him once.

It was called the Human Spider, which was one of the dumbest names he ever heard of; basically it was a hero with spider powers that fired web blasts and stuff. Apparently it was kind of popular and when he looked into it the comic had grown even more popular especially in New York since he showed up. But since Flash found it he bugged him the entire time and made jokes about him and the comic too.

Yeah that's just what he needed, to be compared to a comic book character. He'd had to think of a way to get Flash back for that.

Mainly however he was thinking on things and needed to talk with someone, a particular someone that is. He looked around the place and finally found him. "Hey J'onn," He said walking to the Martian who was talking to John Stewart. "Can I talk to you when you got a minute?"

"Hey you can talk now we're done." John told him. "Besides I'm trying to find something for me and Shayera to go out tonight."

"Big date?" Peter asked him.

John only grinned. "With her it's always an interesting night out." Peter looked to J'onn who only shrugged. Green Lantern never really did tell the others how he and Hawkgirl spend their dates or how they spent last Christmas either. Although he had to admit that bar they kept going to was growing on him, plus he finally found a drink that he could actually drink and not get sick from.

While John left, J'onn turned to Peter. "What can I do for you?"

"Well…here's the thing…how long did you mourn your family? I mean I still feel the pain from losing them, and I know I'll never get over it but…how do you know when to move on? I don't want to make it seem like I'm forgetting them."

J'onn nodded in understanding. "You don't want to betray their memory." Peter only nodded. "It is a hard thing to let go, it took me a long time but eventually I accepted it and moved on. It takes a different amount for each person, but I still keep the memory of my family alive in my heart."

Peter leaned back against the wall. "Yeah…I'm just…I feel better then when I first got here, then again I had nowhere to go but up. A part of me wants to move on, but then there's another part that doesn't want to let go either, it would be…it would be just…" Peter tried to put it into words but it wasn't easy.

J'onn knew all to well though. "It would finally be admitting that they were gone and there's nothing you can do to bring them back."

Peter was silent and just started at the floor. J'onn pegged it alright, when he had access to the computers his first week he spent a lot of that time between learning about this world, and trying to see if anyone that he knew existed in this world. He wanted to have something from his old life here so badly he spent hours just looking through information.

Eventually he gave up and he realized that there was a part of him that hoped that one day walking down the streets in New York that he would meet the double of someone from his world in this one. But he knew that was just a part of him that refused to let go.

"Thanks man…I…I need to think on things."

"Of course." J'onn said nodding. "And if you ever need to talk again."

"I know who to come to, thanks."

-Peter's Apartment-

It was late and Peter was trying to think on things. He was wondering about that dream with MJ telling him that he needed to let go. He didn't want to, there was a part that would always wish that they were all still here with him but he needed to face reality.

He decided to try what Betty told him. He got out some paper and went to the balcony. He bought one of those small circular barbeques last week since he wanted to have the chance for it some times. There was a small table and with his pen started to write. He wasn't sure who to do first so he just went with his feelings.

Dear Aunt May,

I wish I could tell you how sorry I am for worrying you…and I know if it wasn't for me you would be alive. It seems that in my 'last life' as I call it everyone close to me died and/or was harmed. I never wanted it to be you. You raised me like a son and I love you for it. You and Ben were the best and raised me well.

I wish I had told you how much you meant to me before…before you died. I wish I had told you that I was Spider-Man. I know you worried a lot about me and that I lied to you so many times. You have no idea how hard it was to lie to you for so long. You deserved to know the truth, but I was scared. I didn't know how you would handle it or my shame of being responsible for Uncle Ben's death.

I wanted to tell you so much so many times. But I was scared. I hope you can forgive me.

I love you like the mother I never got to know.

Peter wipe away the tears on his face but kept on going. He pulled out another separate piece of paper.

Dear Harry,

I wish there was something I could say to you. Your father killed your mother, went nuts and then killed a lot of people. He killed May, MJ…and you. You were my best friend and I tried my best to help you. I called you over to my house to finally get you to admit that your father was the Green Goblin, to finally get you to listen and to get you away from your father.

I wanted to save you…another failure on my part. You have no idea how much I'm sorry, I tried my best to be your best friend…and I failed you.

Dear Gwen,

I know this is a little late, but I figure I needed to say this to you. I know you died over two years ago but I still feel responsible and I always will. You lost your father a pain I know all too well and we took you in. You were my friend one of my closest friends ever.

No…you were more then that. While living with us…you were family Gwen. You were like the sister I never had. (Or wanted, just kidding) It was great having you around and when you found out about me being Spider-Man and that you were cool with it. (After you put a gun to me of course) When you, me and MJ were together as close friends, that was one of the greatest times in my life. It was great having you in my life and I miss you all the time. I still find myself thinking 'Gwen would have loved this' or 'Gwen would know what to say to that'. You were original and I'll never forget you.

I'm so sorry you got killed by that thing…I should never have let Connors talk me into that experimentation. I never forgave him for making that monster from me. I don't know what became of him but I just don't care.

I miss you and I love you like a sister. I hope you're at least at peace with your dad.

Peter had to stop at this point. This was more emotional then he thought but he couldn't stop now.

Dear Uncle Ben,

I wish to God that I had stopped that man, I wish it almost all the time, not a week goes by that I don't think about it. You told me that with great power comes great responsibility, I just wish you didn't have to die in order for me to get that.

But I do now. And I've tried Ben, I've tried so much. It hasn't been easy and I wish you were still with me, you always knew what to say and I looked up to you so much. People call me a hero, but to me YOU were my hero. You taught me right from wrong and what it really means to be a hero. I am the man I am today because of you and May.

I owe you two more then anyone.

To me, you were the father I never had. I love you and I hope to keep your teaching alive in me.

Peter only had one last letter to write. His hand shook a bit with the pen in his hand and he closed his eyes. He took a few breaths and then began to write.

Dear MJ,

What can I say to you? You were the love of my life. You were my best friend, my love, my life, and my soul. When I lost you I felt like dying. Later I wanted to die, to end the pain and to see you again. I loved you so much I was willing to give up on life to see you again.

I still remember that day you ran away and when I found you and held you, you asked me to run away and marry you. I whish I had, I would have married you Mary Jane. I wanted to live my life with you. You gave me strength to go on, I know it was hard on you to stand by me seeing me get hurt and scared that one day I would die.

But you were there for me. You loved me and I loved you more then I thought was possible. I don't know if I can ever find someone to make me feel like I feel about you, and to be honest a part of me doesn't want to. You will always live in my heart and I will always love you MJ.

-Love Peter.

Peter placed the pen down and covered his face with his hands. He felt the tears and his shoulders started to shake form silent sobs. He managed to pull himself together and placed the letter in the grill. He got a lighter and set them on fire. He watched the letter burn and there was a small part of him that felt better, having said goodbye to them in a way.

That night Peter had another dream but this was a lot more different then the other one.

He was back home. The house was just like he remembered it and he heard voiced from the kitchen. He slowly walked in there and felt like having a heart attack. There sitting at the table talking and having a great time was his Aunt and Uncle, Gwen, Harry and MJ.

"Hey look who showed up." Gwen said looking exactly like she did before she died. She wasn't the dried up gray husk that she had died at but her normal full of life being. Still in that black tank top and loose jeans.

"Sit down Peter and come and join us." Ben said with a smile that Peter hadn't seen in so long that it warmed his heart. Peter smiled and sat down at the table.

"This is a dream isn't it?" Peter said a little sad, they all nodded and Peter's heart fell.

"Hey man, we just wanted to say thanks for the letters," Harry said from across the table. "They really meant a lot and I know you tried Peter. It wasn't your fault blame my father, may he burn in Hell." Harry said darkly.

That caught Peter off guard a little since Harry had loved his dad. Harry noticed this and shrugged. "Hey death changes you."

Gwen hugged Peter then. "And just so you know living with you and May was the best time of my life. It was great being part of a family and thank you for making me apart of it 'brother'." She said smiling with misty eyes.

"Thanks Gwen and I know this is a dream…but it's great seeing you again." Peter told her and she smiled and messed with his hair.

"Peter." This was May talking and Peter wasn't sure what to think what she would want. "I can understand why you never told me, and I don't blame you for Ben. But I still wish you told me."

Peter looked down at that. "I'm sorry Aunt May, I really am."

"Well I forgive you then Peter." Peter looked up and smiled a little.

MJ stood next to him and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Just for your information, I would have loved to have been your wife." Peter took her hand and squeezed it gently and she returned it.

"Now Peter," This was Ben a voice he hadn't heard for years and was glad to hear it again even if it was a dream. "Let me say this…you've made me proud of you. I know the road you chose isn't easy and it tests you more then anyone should be tested, especially at your age, I know you fell a few times along the way. But you pulled yourself up and kept on going and I've never been so proud of the strong and courageous man you've become."

"I don't consider you fighting all the evil in the world courageous, it's when most people would have given up yet you keep coming back stronger then ever you keep using that inner strength of yours to keep on going. You've made me proud of you."

Peter smiled and felt the tears fall. "Thanks Uncle Ben."

Ben smiled and nodded. "Now I know you miss us and we wish we could still be there for you but you have a new life now son, you've got to live it."

"You have new friends and a new family there to help you." May said pointing behind Peter. When he turned around and saw there his new friends. He saw Clark with an arm around Louis. Batman there and next to him was Diana and Donna. On the other side was Kara in the same clothing when he first met her and Wally with that playful smile on his face. He saw J'onn in the back, as was Hawkgirl without her mask and John Steward with her.

"You got some weird friends there Peter," Gwen said to him but she smiled. "But you fit right in with them."

"And don't be afraid to let your feelings grow Peter." MJ said to him.

"You may have a new 'family' Peter but know this," Ben said to him. "We will always be with you, you will never truly be without us as long as you keep us in your heart."

The next thing Peter knew he was awake. He looked and saw it was still early but he didn't feel like sleeping. The sun wasn't out but he wasn't tired, he felt rested for the first time in a long time. He went to the kitchen and made some coffee and went back to his room with the cup.

When he returned he saw a glow on the horizon and figured it was the sun. He opened the French doors and it was a little cold out but he sat down with his coffee and he just watched the sun rise. He had to admit it was beautiful and for the first time he felt at peace for the moment.

He felt a weight had been lifted slightly off his heart. The pain was still there but it was more of a dull ache and he actually felt better about his life and himself. He jus sat there watching the sun come out. It was the dawn of a new day and for Peter it was the dawn of a new day for him too. The first day he felt he could truly live his life here and that this was finally becoming home to him.

He took a few sips of his coffee and just sat there feeling content since he got here. He didn't know how long this moment of serenity would last but he wanted to enjoy the moment.

He wanted to enjoy his life at this moment, and he did with a true smile on his face as a cold wind caressed his face slightly.
