Slickboy444: More into he relationship between Batman/Diana later, and I had this planned out with her for awile.

Dr. Doom: Thanks I do my best. I am thinking of making a villain for just him but Doc Ock arc is about to kick up.

WD Kain: Nice to hear from you again and that's a great story. I'll try and fit some of those ideas since I agree with them.

Commander: Interesting idea I may use it later on thanks.

Sithicus: Hey if you wan to throw them in there I say go for it I trust you, sorry about missing your fic I get distracted myself sometimes. I had to de research for this as well since I don't get the Unlimited series.

Anthony1: Later on he might go on other missions with the others and no symbiote as I've said numerous times no more Marvel villains.

X-Over: I'll think on those I might need to look them up and study the characters a bit.

DragonHeart,WolfSoul: Thanks but I'm not to sure about that, but you'll might like then end then.

The Uncanny R-Man: Yeah I had that embassy and ambassador thing planned ever since I brought in Donna. I never saw that arc with Harry I just heard about it, you'll see what Peter and Ock will be up to.

Doza: Yeah I'll be bringing that love triangle to a close soon and I hope it doesn't take me as long to update.

KaliAnn: Thanks and in the comics Diana is the ambassador so I figured kill two birds with one stone. You'll see in this chapter how the relationship with Donna goes, at least somewhat.

Silver Warrior: I got no plans for Man-Spider sorry.

Worker72: I agree I don't like to rush things, and considering who the Justice League are they might have been swayed, plus I really didn't want to write a bunch of people bickering for who knew HOW long.

Aaron: Yep I wanted to bring in a little DC comics element into this, don't know what you meant by the government.

Multifan: Nice to hear from ya again and that was the abridged version of Two-Face's origin I didn't want to go through the whole thing and just did that, I forgot about that movie but I figured Harvey was closer since that was Bruce's first love not a friend. I think Atlantis isn't concerned with the outside world that much, maybe later. Yeah but man wouldn't you want to be on a team with so many lovely and single ladies? I didn't want to go with any more angst with Peter this chapter then needed.

And thanks to everyone else as well and no there will be no working three way in this it's not Peter's style unless I do one for fun at another sight. Maybe I'll do The Demon's Head (Ra's Al Goul) later.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE SPIDER

CHAPTER 21: ONE HELL OF A DAY

Donna woke up in her new room in New York. It had been over a week as she and her sister moved into the new Embassy. Her new room was a bit lavish and she wondered how this place was being built so quickly, then she had heard her sister talking to Batman and thanking him for his help. She smiled thinking this was his way of showing her that he cared by giving them a decent place to live. She heard that he claimed that he was just doing it to ensure their security and that of the League but she guessed that was just an excuse like how he came now and then to check up on the place.

She smiled at seeing how her sister tried to act normal and yet she could tell that she was trying to not only hide her feelings for him but also to get him to open up, although he did seem to talk to her the most out of everyone. He usually was the dark silent type but he really opened up, well as much as he does, with her sister.

But now she had her own personal love life to handle. Over the last week she had grown found of Peter and her friendship with Kara, she knew that Kara had to have feelings for Peter although it seemed she either didn't know it deep down or wanted to admit it. As for Peter…well who can figure out what goes on in a man's mind? She looked to see Diana at a table going over some papers, ever since she had accepted the role of ambassador she had to do a lot more work it seemed to get caught up and up to date, "How are you doing sis?"

Diana sighed and rubbed her temples, "By the gods if I had known about the paper work I think would have rethought all of this."

Donna walked up behind her and started to massage her shoulders, "Well it will all be worth it, you're working your way back home."

"I know, I know. It's the only thing that gets me through this."

Wonder Girl smirked as she had a thought that she was going to voice, "And you got me, your friends…and a certain man in black bat clothing at your side."

Diana turned her head a little sharply at her younger sister, "If you mean Batman then I guess so."

"Oh don't tell me he still hasn't made a move yet," Diana just turned her head back to the papers and sighed. She wished Bruce wasn't so emotionally withdrawn to those around him. She wanted to get closer but she also didn't want to push him away with it. It was strange how their relationship had changed from merely allies, to friends to…well she didn't know what they were now exactly.

Donna sighed and wondered if all women went through relationship problems like them or if the gods had cursed all Amazons with having bad relationships. Well she had a few thoughts on how to deal with her own problems that had been handled by Amazons before. Although those were out dated by today's standards they might have a few things that could still help her out.

"I'm sure it will work out sister," She said to the older sibling.

Diana sighed and nodded, "I hope so…I've never felt this way about anyone before and this is new territory for me."

Donna sighed and sat down next to her, "Yeah I know."

Now it was Diana's turn to smile, "Does this have anything to do with a certain hero in New York?"

Donna groaned into her hands, "I don't know what it is about him…he's nice and all and smart and in battle he's just so graceful."

Diana smiled looking at her and she thought it was kind of cute, "So you think he's not ready to date yet but want to." Diana knew all too well the pain and suffering that Peter had endured, she could still see in his eyes and seeing all that pain in the eyes of someone so young still broke her heart, more so after she had gotten to know Peter. He was such a nice person and to have all that done to him was just horrible.

"Well that's not all…see…you know that Kara is living with him, well I think she feels the same towards him but I don't want to ruin the friendship I have with her." She really did like Kara, but she saw how she reacted when she flirted with Peter or was close to him. After how things had been between them she didn't want to go back to being uncomfortable being around with each other, "I don't know what I'm going to do."

Diana thought about this, it was more complicated then her problem with Bruce. Then she remembered a story from her youth that was about two sisters who were at odds with each other after a battle and both claimed a captured man as theirs. What they worked out later became one of the laws to prevent further scenes like that. "Donna…do you remember the story of Theodora and Alexius?"

Donna tried to remember that story for a minute and ran it through her head. "You think that will work?"

Diana shrugged, "It's either that or you need to talk with her and maybe Peter too to see how he feels about it all."

Donna nodded and thought long and hard about what to do and all her options. She didn't want to ruin anything with either of them, she wasn't sure how strong her feelings were and she was also afraid that maybe Kara's feelings were stronger then her own, and if Peter chose her then what about Kara? She hated sometimes how things were just so complicated out in this world. But she would have to face the two of them sooner or later…maybe she could find them together later that day.

-Later at the Watchtower-

Kara and Peter walked into the Watchtower lunchroom, although it was more like a cafeteria considering its size and the people in it. They had come up form their place to see if anything was going on to help. The two of them walked over to the nearest table that at the moment only had Flash and Green Arrow sitting in it talking. "Hey guys what's up?" Supergirl asked them sitting down across from GA.

"Nothing much it seems evil has taken a holiday of late." The green archer told her.

"Tell me about it, it's kind of been a little slow and you know how I hate slow." Flash said next, he had been a bit bored lately with all the lack of activity and for a guy that lived in the fast lane like him that was near torture at times.

"That explains the girlfriend trouble." Spider-Man said smiling under his mask making Kara laugh and Green Arrow. Flash just looked a little confused not getting the joke. "I'm going to grab a drink, you want anything?" Peter asked her.

"Just a coke will be fine thanks." Peter nodded and left to get it. Not long after he was gone Donna Troy, in her all red uniform walked over to Kara. Kara herself got a little tense she didn't like how she had been flirting with Peter lately and it was getting on her nerves although Donna and her had gotten to be friends it still bugged her when she did that, but what was worse was she actually liked her and knew Donna didn't do it to make her like that.

Donna stopped right in front of Supergirl and looked right at her with a serious expression on her face. "I feel we need to resolve this thing with Peter. I know you desire him just like I do. In my culture when two warriors wanted the same man either they fought for him or there was the more practical action."

Kara was just stunned by her just coming out like this, sure she liked Peter but desired? And she really hoped Donna didn't want to fight it out. "And that would be?"

"Simply, we share him."

"WHAT?" Kara yelled out shocked. Both Green Arrow and Flash who had been listening to this in silence were really interested in this now.

Donna just went on not caring about Kara's reaction. "Yes we either shared him separately…or…we could share him together. I'm not opposed to the later option you are quite beautiful and I wouldn't mind it." She smiled at Kara, she was speaking the truth and this might get rid of any hard feelings between them. In her culture it was perfectly natural and sometimes it even made her 'sisters' even closer. On the Island all they had were women and it was common to see certain pairings now and then. She herself had dated a few times before leaving but if she preferred to shard Peter separately then she was just fine with that.

She just hoped that this would end their problem, given that any other outcome might just end up hurting someone. Kara just sat there completely and utterly shocked her mouth open. Flash had to be the one to speak up. "Uh…not to interrupt or anything but…are you bi by any chance?"

"I'm not familiar with that term." Donna said trying to think if she had heard of that word but was coming up with a blank.

"Basically it means you prefer both men and women." Green Arrow said clarifying it for her.

"Then yes, most Amazons are. We took males to mate with and over the last thousand years when we closed ourselves off from the outside world, we only had each other. And even women have…urges…that need to be satisfied." She told them.

"You know…that actually makes sense." Flash said out loud mostly to himself but Green Arrow nodded. Flash hadn't seen any children on that Island and everyone seemed to have been the same age. If they had no population growth then that would be easier to make sure they all could feed themselves on that island. With only women it was only natural for feelings to develop.

Donna turned back to Supergirl. "I hope you consider my offer." She lightly traced a finger on Kara's jaw line and winked at her before walking away. All three of them watched her leave in studded silence. Peter came back and placed the drink with Kara and sat down.

"What did I miss?" He asked pulling up his mask enough to take a drink and opened this drink.

GA turned to Flash. "You better move over one seat if you don't want to change your uniform." Flash didn't know what he meant but he did move one seat over.

When Peter started to take his drink Kara still in shock from what Donna had proposed was still staring where she had been when she told Peter. "I…I think Donna asked me to be in a three way with her and you."

At that Peter spit out his drink right where Flash had been sitting and Peter was coughing from some of it going down the wrong pipe. Green Arrow just had on this big grin at Peter. "I must say my boy I am impressed. I didn't get my first chance at a three way until I was older then you, my hat is off to you boy."

"I admit it, I'm jealous." Flash said with an equally big grin on his face.

Peter just sat there thinking how the hell he got himself into this. Okay so he had the occasional dream about that but there was no way he was going to go through with it. He wasn't raised that way and he wasn't that kind of man. He looked to see a stunned Kara and two grinning male heroes and wondered if he could just crawl out of there and hide. Okay sure he was getting over MJ and the others and he was thinking about dating again…but this was just something he wasn't ready for.

Sure it was a fantasy for a lot of guys but actually going through with it…that wasn't him. "I…I think I need to go," Kara said standing up, "I'll see you later." She said to Peter, she really needed to think on this. Of course on her planet same sex relationships weren't taboo like they seemed to be on Earth but she just never had been attracted to other women and Donna coming out with that idea what just a shocker. She need to let this sink in and think about it all.

Peter was now left alone seeing the two grinning men and groaned. "No I am NOT going to do it."

"Why not?" Green Arrow asked him like he was insane, "You know how many times this comes along?"

"Not much I'll say," Flash admitted as he had gone out with two girls a few times but never got that open invitation like that, but then another thought hit him. "But then again this is Diana's little sister…"

The thoughts of a pissed off six foot tall Amazon warrior out for blood was a sobering thought but Green Arrow considered it, "It would be so worth it."

Peter exasperated and got up to leave, he figured he would go do some web swinging back in New York to clear his head and once again wonder how the hell he keeps getting into these things? It's like no matter what universe he goes into it has to keep throwing him curveballs. He swore he had some kind of Karma with a sigh on it that said 'screw with my life' on it.

'As if my life couldn't get any worse,' He thought to himself.

-STAR Labs, New York-

Dr. Steven Smyth and Dr. Debra Steward watched in awe as Dr. Octavius worked. He had completed his tentacles that moved like real limbs as they helped to construct the new improved device. It was a large ring with lots of wires and computers hooked up to it. With this new design they would be able to not only see but also maybe make a stable doorway to his world. Octavius had suggested the new design himself to make a more stable doorway.

"This is incredible," Steven said to his finance and partner watching him work on several machines at once. The arms either held tools or the tips morphed in some way to make them. They were usually smooth and rounded off with red camera lenses in the center but they turned into claw-like fingertips or turned into long sharp tools for cutting and more for screws and other tools.

"I think it's kind of creepy," Debra said hugging herself. Ever since she saw those things they gave her a chill. Plus he seemed to act strange around them, he had told them they had an AI built in that responded to his brainwaves but the way she had caught him acting to them, even talking to them when he was alone. He talked to them like they were alive and it was disturbing, she was starting to think that maybe he wasn't mentally sound.

Steven wasn't sure why she had been a little uncomfortable with him lately, she had told him about seeing him talk to his arms and when he asked him about it, Octavius just smiled and shrugged and said that he had worked alone a lot and he talked to them like how some people talked to plants. That was good enough for him, besides he was very intellectual and fascinating. With his metallic limbs they were months ahead and they were just now ready to test out the device.

Both doctors stood behind a main computer with several screens with various data on it. "Okay Dr. Octavius is everything ready?" Steven asked him.

He turned around and smiled, "I believe so."

"Alright let's slowly power it up and see what happens," Debra said sitting at her computer issuing commands and slowly started up the generators. There was a steady hum of power as the lights and parts of the circular ring started to light up. "It's at forty percent," She announced.

At sixty there was a faint glow from inside the circle and Octavius felt the hairs on his arms standing up from what felt like a static in the air but it passed quickly enough. When it was at full power there was a bright flash like that other times only now the doorway was opened for longer then just a few seconds. The three of them looked into the portal and saw what looked like New York.

"My god…did we really do it?" Steven asked as he tried the controls they had set up to 'move' the portal around the world. So far he only moved it a little not wanting it to hit something as he repositioned it above the city and then he saw something very large land mass in New York city bay that he didn't remember seeing there.

"What the hell is that?" Debra asked seeing the large military structure.

"That's the Triskelion," Octavius said trying to keep the scorn out of his voice, "It's home to a government team called The Ultimates." He also didn't mention the state of the art prison there where himself and other like Magneto and the Hulk had been kept at one time or another and he wasn't planning to return to that cell.

"I wonder if it's stable?" Steven asked himself looking over the readings that he was getting.

"Only one way to find out…see if you can find a newsstand will you?" Octavius asked them and they tried their best. It took nearly twenty minutes to figure out how to move it accurately and to find one. When they portal settled in front of one they would see many people reacting to the portal and guessed it was two way, at least for seeing but traveling was another thing. There were no sounds and they guessed that sound weren't traveling through the portal.

That suited Octavius just fine, he didn't need anyone to shout out, 'Look it's Dr. Octopus! Run!' just yet. When they reached the news stand he sent a tentacle through the portal and snagged one of the papers and pulled in back in. The look on the man's face was priceless.

"Well I would call that a success," He said reading the paper in his hands, "You might want to shut it down before someone gets the idea to jump through it." He also didn't want anyone to call the Ultimates and have them show up.

"I think he's right, we got enough data as it is," Debra said shutting down the powers as the portal faded away, "I'll start putting all the data together."

"Good idea we don't want to lose anything." Steven walked over to Octavius and looked at the paper that said Daily Bugle on it. "Anything interesting?"

Octavius shook his head, "Not really, the Nikes are still playing like crap it seems," He was also glad there wasn't any mention of his escape but that was to be expected he was old news by now, that is if Fury let it out that he had just disappeared from his cell and he doubted that. It did seem that mutants were back in the headlines, so surprised there.

"Well this is a glorious day!" Steven said happily thinking about his life's work almost completed. They would open a world to another Earth and the possibilities were endless. New Trade and travel and new worlds to explore without ever leaving Earth, it would make space exploration look trivial.

"I'll say," Debra agreed smiling as all their data was burned onto a new CD. She took it out and put it in a protector and placed in on a desk. "So should we do more tests now before or after we call the press?"

"I think we should tell the director he's most likely want to know what we've been doing down here anyway," Steven laughed. The director had asked him a few times how far along he was on their project but thankfully wasn't too pushy on it. "Plus we might as well tell them about you my friend before we make contact with your world. I bet they are wondering what ever happened to you."

Octavius nodded, "I'm sure they would be."

He had hoped that they would have failed he might have been able to just walk away but now he had no choice, they knew him and where he came from. If it got out Spider-Man would be on him and if the other side did he knew Fury would send the Ultimates after him as well. He had planned for his over the months being here and he was now ready to implement it. He had researched all this data enough times that he was sure he could make another with time.

He didn't want to be in the same reality as Parker it was just too dangerous and maybe he could find a world without all these so called 'super heroes' around. But two things first, one was revenge on Spider-Man and then flee to another world to escape retribution from his friends and allies. Second was to ensure that his presence in this world stayed secret. And he had to take care of this now as his 'friends' agreed with his choice.

They didn't like the woman especially since they looked at them funny and he also didn't like the way she looked at them. He walked over closer and was glad that there were no security cameras here and the thick walls would help keep silent what he was about to do.

Steven had no idea it was coming, one moment he was talking to Debra, his sweat beautiful Debra the woman he wanted to marry and spend the rest of his life with. The next a silver streak flew by and hit her in the chest and still went by pinning her violently against a computer server denting it. She had made this gurgling sound and looked up at him horror in her eyes at the thing in her chest, blood coming out of her mouth and nose from internal injuries. Then the tentacle was yanked from her chest leaving a bloody hole in it as she slumped to the floor.

It all happened within seconds but stretched to eternity for him, his mind not fully accepting the horror that had just happened. He slowly turned around to see the man he considered a friend looking at him with s grim expression not sure why he had just done that. Then in a blink of an eye one of the tentacles grabbed his face and he flew back letting lose a scream. The last thing he saw was Octavius's face as his head was slammed into the metallic wall with such force as to make a loud sickening crack sound. His body went limp and Dr. Octopus let him fall to the ground dead.

He moved to the desk and picked up the data CD with all the current research, it would be easier this way. His friends searched and pick out the wallets from his now dead colleagues, he would need the money to start off and take a long coat that he knew Steven had. Before he left he ripped apart the ring and tore into the computers trashing the lab. He didn't want anyone to know what was going on in here. He found the right chemicals also and placed them in certain places. He would try and make it look like a chemical fire had broken out as he took a hot plate and placed an unstable chemical that when heated would explode.

He left the lab for the last time and as he made his way through the halls his tentacles hidden by the large brown coat he heard the muffled explosion and felt the vibrations. Then a fire alarm sounded as everyone in the building started to flee for the exits, in all the commotion no one noticed him leave the scene as he walked for the first time onto the streets of this New York.
