Slickboy444: Yeah it will get more complicated in this chapter too. And you know I try my best with my fics glad you liked it so much.

Commander: Doc Ock will make his own team and you'll like it.

Morlin: Really? Thanks, and yeah those three will become close later on after everything works out.

Jezrianna2.0: Damn that sucks, I guess you might have to post that on Adult Surber: When I started this it was way before the Hobgoblin thing and so I had to skip all that, some of his past has to be different in order to make things that I wrote work and I can't get anymore Ultimate Marvel comics where I'm at too.

X-Over: Yeah I did get that e-mail, but I don't want to redo the entire series. I want to do my own thing but thanks anyway in case I change my mind.

Syder616: Hey that's Peter. Brilliant scientific mind, but clueless when it comes to girls.

The Uncanny R-Man: You sure about that? I could have sworn I heard that she was somewhere.

Doza: Just be patient it will be worth it when Doc Ock comes just trust me.

KaliAnn: Glad you liked the team up. As for why villains like him, who knows. Exploiting a weakness is always the good route to go in beating an opponent.

Silver Warrior: Thanks, I try my best with his sense of humor. Well Catwoman did go after Nightwing once so she may go after younger men. I haven't read any Zelda fan fics though.

Worker72: Yeah but it will also deal with the fact how to trail her since she's not an American citizen and who gets first shot at her since her virus was world wide.

Aaron: Okay I'll try and look her up but it sounds complicated from how you told me.

Spontaneousxhumanxcombustion: Actually he does have a belt in the comics, and if you don't stop commenting on the beta I'll block you.

Multifan: Yeah Peter learned a few new tricks. Yeah tragic villains you sometimes want to help out in some way. I was thinking that Peter would look into Cheetah later. Peter will run into Catwoman later on.

And thanks to everyone else as well, and please stop commenting in the spelling and grammar of my fics. I try my damn best I really do but I'm only human and believe me I wish I could put them out without errors trust me on that. Sorry for the wait I needed to take a break from this to finish off another fic.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SPIDER

CHAPTER 20: SISTERHOOD AFTERMATH

All the villains of the Sisterhood had been taken away with the exception of one, Aresia. She was now in a special cell of the Watchtower by Wonder Woman's request. Diana had been trying for the last two days to try and get through to her Amazon sister but it was proving futile. She was now sitting alone in the observation room in a generic metal chair with a small round table just looking out into the stars. After anther disastrous session with her sister she was also drinking a cappuccino lost in her despair.

"I take it, it didn't go well," Came a dark voice and she jumped and turned around to see Batman there. She hated it when he snuck up on here like that, plus the fact that she was supposed to be a great warrior and yet time and time again he kept surprising her like that.

She sighed looking back at her drink, "No it didn't."

"Sometimes you can't save a person Diana, she has too much anger in her to let go,"

"I can't believe that Bruce," She said shaking her head, "I've known her to so long, she was a great friend to me and I just can't…I can't accept that she's gone."

Batman thought about his own problem like that with Harvey Dent, former DA of Gotham City. Harvey had been a great friend to him, maybe even his best friend then one day an accident disfigured half his face. Harvey's mind couldn't take it, and a new personality joined in calling itself Two-Face. Harvey lost his old job, his fiancé his whole life. Bruce tried to help him several times once he even tried to get Harvey plastic surgery to fix his face but Two-Faced had planned ahead and hired men to bust him out of the hospital. Now he was in jail once more but with a new third personality The Judge, one created by Harvey Dent to balance out the Two-Face persona. So far Bruce didn't know if his old friend would ever be safe.

"Perhaps, it's not easy losing a friend like that and hoping that they'll be back and you'll have what you lost is sometimes the only thing that keeps you going."

She tilted her head up, "Bruce? Are you-" She turned to see him but he was gone, "I hate it when he does that."

She sighed and went back to her drink and took a sip. She never understood why Bruce could never open up and when he did it was only for a moment and then he bottled himself back up again. She never understood why he never let anyone close to him, why she couldn't get close to him. She knew she had feelings that had grown for him over the few years, at first she had respected him as a warrior and as a comrade in arms. Then as she got to know him and his identity she found herself captivated by him and soon one day she found herself thinking about him in ways that a friend wouldn't.

She wondered if she would ever get anywhere with him and before she could think on it more she saw a few others walk in. They were Supergirl, Spider-Man with Green Lantern.

"Well we just got a message from the UN Diana," John told her, ever since it was told that Aresia was alive and in their custody many governments wanted to put her on trial for crimes against humanity for that virus she unleashed a year ago. "They are getting a bit tired of waiting for us to finish with her and let me tell you they are short on patient."

"Tell me about it," Kara said crossing her arms and shaking her head, "I swear if some of those people are the best representatives of their country then I fear for those places."

Diana sighed she knew that Aresia needed to answer for her crimes but she had hoped that she could have gotten somewhere with her, "Then I guess we have to hand her over."

"Yeah, sorry about this Diana," Peter said seeing how she was taking it. He remembered how his friend Harry had become the Hobgoblin and it was only after fighting him and some special counseling from SHIELD did he ever return to normal again. But then a year later his father would kill him for his 'betrayal' and everyone else Peter had cared about. He shook the memory away not wanting to go back down that path again at the moment it was still too painful for him to think about.

"I guess we shall have to ready her for transport then," Diana sighed and stood up.

"Not yet you won't," Came another voice and they all turned to the door to see none other then Queen Hippolyta, Ruler of Themyscira. Next to her was Donna as well.

"I have come for our sister to be judge by Amazon law," The Queen said in full authority.

"Unfortunately that's a problem," John said to her not backing down, "She's broken a lot of the laws of the world and has to answer for them."

"She is also a member of my people," The queen retorted back.

"Oh boy this won't be good," Peter muttered to himself as the argument between Green Lantern and the Queen continued on and on. John eventually brought up how there were no extradition treaties and that Themyscira wasn't recognized by the United Nations. Then Peter had an idea and decided to intervene before things got ugly and World War Three broke out between the two, "Hold it please!" Peter was now between them with both hands out in stopping gestures.

Seeing them take a step back from each other he sighed and went with his idea, "Okay how about this…Queen Hippolyta, you have to realize that the world has changed since your days when you and everyone moved to that island correct?"

She nodded she did have to admit that this man did have a point, when she first stepped foot in Man's World it was nothing like the world she remembered, "Go on."

"Okay well what if you went to the United Nations and asked to not only have your nation recognized but also asked to deal with her since she's a citizen of your people?"

Everyone in the room looked at him with an expression of thinking that over, he hoped that this was a good move as he waited nervously for what she thought about it. He really hoped that she went for the idea because the only other option wasn't pretty.

Queen Hippolyta thought about his words she was one of the most wisest of Amazon rulers and she realized that they may need a voice to be heard for her people and someone to watch over the affairs of this world in case they were a threat to her nation and her people, "Very well I see the logic in that, but who would I send? Donna?"

Wonder Girl was taken back by surprise but wasn't sure she wanted the position, she was still learning things and now to be the voice of all her people…It was a bit much and she shot Peter and her sister a pleading look from behind her mother.

"Actually no offence to Donna or nothing, but I think a figure that the public knows more about and respects would be more fitting," Peter said to her and he noticed Donna sigh and relax a bit and had to smile under his mask.

"There is no one else," The Queen said to him.

"Well…what about…" He looked at Diana and saw both women straighten up at that.

"No." The Queen said harshly to him yet on the inside it did hurt her to be so cold to her own daughter but she had broken the law, Diana hung her head accepting her mother and hr Queen's judgment.

Kara however didn't like this at all, "Now just hold on there missy. Why the hell not?"

"I agree with the kid on this one," John told her, "I know she broke that law but if she hadn't you Amazons wouldn't even be here to judge her."

"The law is the law and even I can't change it." She told them all but she wished she could.

Everyone was silent at that moment, everyone trying to think of something to say. Donna looked at her older sister with sad eyes, she wished their mother could lift the banishment so she could come home whenever she wanted so badly and she knew her sister missed home.

Peter had another idea but he hoped this one worked better, "Okay you said she was banished…but did you say how long?"

The Queen knew what he was asking but shook her head, "That will not work, it would look like I was going easy on her if I just let the banishment end."

Peter swore in his head and thought about her word doing his best to use that brain of his to think of a way then it hit him, "Well you can't just let it end…But what if you gave her a task to perform for your people in order to atone for her…'Crime'," He really didn't want to use that word, since he also felt she didn't do anything wrong.

Hippolyta thought about this, if she tried to atone for that by being the representative she could atone for that. She wouldn't be allowed back until she had done enough and Donna could relay any information back to the island, plus Diana had more experience with this world and the political forces in it. She wouldn't be out of her depth like any other Amazon that is IF any came forward for this duty…Plus deep down she wanted her oldest daughter back in her life. She looked at this Spider-Man, which Donna had spoken of on the travel here.

It was obvious her youngest had a thing for the young man and she smiled at him, "Donna has told me about her friends and about you. She said you are a great scholar and a warrior as well. I can respect this for we all try to hold onto the wisdom of Athena and yet keep our warrior skills as sharp as our minds."

She walked over to him and nodded her head, "It is good that my daughters have such friends," Then turned to Diana, "Diana come and kneel," She commanded and Wonder Woman didn't hesitate as she went down on one knee to her Queen.

"I charge you with being our Ambassador of the Amazons. With this you can prove yourself worthy of your heritage and regain the honor you lost. Do you accept this challenge?"

"Yes my Queen," Diana said smiling and felt tears in her eyes, she had a chance now a chance to go home one day.

"Then rise."

Diana did and was suddenly being hugged by Donna, "This is great, one day you'll be able to come home I know it," She said happily. Diana hugged her sister knowing it too and looked to Peter and mouthed 'thank you' to him for helping and he nodded to her as everyone else was just watching the happy moment between sisters. Even their mother although not showing it was happy that her family might one day be reunited back home.

-Later-

Peter, Kara were in the cafeteria eating a meal while everyone else had gone down to the UN to try and get everything cleared up. Both of them didn't want to go back after that last time, with all those politicians there they were both amazed things got done at times. Peter had the bottom of his mask lifted up over his mouth while he took a drink he looked over the place.

He saw Green Arrow talking to or more likely hitting on that blond woman he learned that was called Black Canary he also knew that the green archer had been hitting on her constantly the entire time he had joined up but the woman didn't seem to mind. He noticed Zatanna; a woman with magical powers in a female tux, top hat and fishnets on her legs was at the same table smirking as she watched him try his skills out on Black Canary. Peter didn't know if Green Arrow actually got a date with her yet but boy that man was trying…Not the Peter could blame him since the League opened its doors to all heroes there seemed to be a bunch of beautiful women here all the time.

He heard Kara snort at something and then noticed she was looking right at the same group, "Hey…Are you listening in?"

She blond alien girl smirked and he knew his answer to that, "I couldn't help it, besides Clark tells me to improve on it since I just got it and you wouldn't believe the lines that guy throws out." Peter shook his head and decided not to ask what he was trying out, there were some things he didn't want to know. "So…You going to the office party for Betty's birthday?"

Peter smacked himself on the head, he forgot that Betty from work was having a birthday and JJ ha managed to get a surprise party for her ready for before her work shift ended. "Oh crap I forgot about that!"

Kara had to smile and shake her head, living with Peter she had to become the one to remind him on certain details. He remembered to get the groceries and to take out the trash and laundry and clean and stuff like that but for the life of her never could figure out why he seemed to blank on things like that, "It's alright tell you what, after we get back I can help you gift shopping for her."

"Thanks I never know what to get anyone."

"It's no problem, what are best friends for?" She smiled at him and Peter looked at her face at that moment and saw just how bright and uplifting it was. He hadn't said so to her but having her around had helped him more then he had thought it would to deal with his life. She helped to make his life less empty and he had more fun with her around the apartment since the day he moved in.

He looked at her now and saw just how she was always full of life and that attitude of hers always helped to uplift him whenever he was down and he knew when he showed that, she went out of her way to cheer him up. She had become closer to him then anyone in his life at this moment and looking at her he found himself staring at her face and just knew she was also very beautiful. He knew that and other thoughts he had been having of her he shouldn't since this was his best friend but he couldn't help it.

"Hey you okay?" Kara said snapping him out of his thoughts, she had caught him staring in her direction for a moment but with those huge reflective things on his mask couldn't tell what.

"Oh, yeah sorry…I kind of drifted off there for a minute."

Kara thought that he had been looking at her and blush but turned her head to quickly hide it. She wasn't sure about how she felt about Peter, sure she liked him and even though she and Donna had gotten along now and were good friends whenever Donna flirted with Peter her jaw clenched. He liked her but not when she flirted with Peter, she knew how it sounded she had talked to Barbara about it and of all things she had laughed and said that she was jealous.

Her? Jealous? She didn't want to believe it but she couldn't help but think that what if she was? That would mean that she was attracted to Peter…Okay sure he was really, really cute and a very good friend but was she ready to try and jeopardize her friendships with him? She still remembered how they hadn't talked for a few days after that shower incident. She wasn't ready to try something she was afraid he might get weirded out or something.

Peter however had been having thoughts about their relationship still; he wondered what if he asked her out? Would it be too much? They had gone out together as friends and had a great time but what it he asked her out on a real date? He wondered what that would do to their relationship but after losing MJ he wondered if he would ever find love again but then how could he if he never tried? "Hey Kara…I was wondering…" He gulped trying to find the words.

"Hey guys what's up," They both turned to see Flash there. Peter was both annoyed and relieved that he showed up and guessed he might as well take it as a sign and focus on him now.

"Boy you have no idea, where were you?" Kara asked the red glad super speeder.

He sat down and shrugged, "Had this nasty business with a volcano, you going to eat that?" He asked Peter pointing at a bagel and he shook his head, "Thanks man I starving," He quickly gobbled it up as the two of them filled him in on what was going on.

"Whoa…So…Diana is going to do this and might get back home?" Flash asked them, he like the rest of the original League had wanted her to be able to go home again after that Hades thing but none of them had figured out a way so they had just spent the month after that trying to cheer her up. He remembered how depressed she had been after that and felt sorry for her.

"Yeah that's what we're all hoping for," Kara said nodded her head.

"Well this is great! I mean they had no right to do that to her, she saves them and then they kick her out?" Flash folded his arm across his chest and sat back, "Bunch of ingrates you ask me…Okay very hot looking ones I'll admit but still."

Kara rolled her eyes knowing even he couldn't go without commenting on their looks when talking about them, but she knew what he meant it was unfair.

"Well maybe she can tell us how it went," Flash pointed behind them and they saw Wonder Girl walked into the room, "Hey Donna!" He waved to her and she smiled and walked over, "So how did things go?"

Donna sighed and sat down, "I never want to get into politics."

"That bad huh?" Peter asked her.

"You have no idea," She sighed, "Well they accepted my sister as the Ambassador for our people just fine but it took some really hard arguing to get them to release Aresia into our custody. In the end we had to promise them that she would ever leave the island ever again and if she did she would be subject to their laws."

"Well I guess having an island of immortal warriors to guard another one in the middle of know where and the location being a secret is a nice place to put her," Kara admitted.

Donna nodded, "Yes that was the point that I think sold it to many of the members."

"Out of sight out of mind huh?" Flash said grinning, personally he liked the idea since it was the less likely chance she would show up again or cause another virus in a place stuck in the Bronze Age.

"Yes, so now it looks like my sister and I will be moving to New York know after all, it seems that we'll be getting special embassy there," Donna said smiling at Peter, "So looks like you'll have a few more heroes living there."

Peter shrugged, "Hey no problem to me."

"Yeah…Sure," Kara said but didn't sound too enthusiastic about it at the moment and Donna picked up on it and guessed the problem she and her had from time to time. It seemed she was a bit protective of Peter and to be honest Donna could see why. Peter was a great person and she didn't want to ruin the friendships she had with the both of them. She decided to try and think of a way for them all to the happy about this but would do that later, she was tired and covered a yawn. "Well…If you will all excuse me tomorrow I have to handle the detail to take Aresia back home for her own trail."

"Yeah good luck with that," Flash told her as she got up to leave and Donna waved a hand over her shoulder, "Man…I wonder what they'll do to her?" He asked the other two.

The both shrugged not having the slightest idea, "Don't know, maybe they'll try and rehabilitate her?" Kara suggested.

Peter tilted his head at that considering it, "Well it's not like they don't have the time to try," Given what he heard about them all being immortal while on the island and it also sounded they had a lot of spare time on their hands he figured they could easily find the time to try and help her.

"Yeah seriously," Flash laughed, "Well I'm going to get some chow," He was gone in a blur then came right back with a tray full of food and started to eat as the two young adults just stared as they saw him it was always a shock to see suck a skinny slim guy like Flash eat so much.

"You know…There are women that would kill to be able to eat without restraint and not have to worry about gaining weight." Kara said to Peter and he just nodded watching Flash nearly inhale his food.
