The Watcher started to grow worried as he knew that this timeline could go in many ways. "This isn't right. Something is not. I should know everything. See everything. Know exactly what's going to happen. And yet...I see two timelines. Two decisions. A loss and a victory...this shouldn't be possible."
"Spider-Man is all but invincible. But Peter Parker? We can destroy him."
"The trail must not be countenanced!"
"Instruct him in the matters of loss and pain. Make him suffer. Make him wish he were dead. And then grant his wish."
"The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind."
"The heart, Osborn. First, we attack his heart!"
The Watcher then looked down at the coroner's office while he was going over a corps on the table. This part was the tipping point of the universe. This is when things were going to be wrecked for the worse.
"Petechial hemorrhaging in the mucosa of the lips and the interior of the mouth, the strong odor of bleach, and the presence of a postmortem ligature mark suggest the manner of death is-"
"Homicide." Someone called from the doorway, getting his attention to see a familiar face.
"Can I help you?" The coroner asked him.
"Yes, you can." He said, revealing it to be Mark Mardon. "I want to know who killed Clyde Mardon."
"That's privileged information." The coroner tells him. "I'm gonna have to ask you to leave."
Then Mark created a chunk of ice in his hands. "Shame."
Then he tossed it straight at the coroner and sent him flying across the room. He felt it like he was slammed into a few baseballs and groaned in pain.
"His name!" Mark demanded, getting ready to shoot another.
"Why should we torture the innocent?" Goblin asks as he then flew in, surprising both of them. Then before either of them could react, he aimed a finger and shot the coroner in the chest. "When it's much more fun to kill them?"
"I needed him alive!" Mark informed the maniac.
"But why would I do that...when I could tell you for a bargain?" Goblin asked as he flew around and came eye level with the criminal.
"What bargain?" Mark asks, not sure what he's asking.
"Just your help to get reinforcements," Goblin said, having the perfect way to get his help. "Because Spider-Man is the one who murdered your brother."
Barry was with Caitlin having a nice dinner when the alert came through from Cisco and Wells. The two of them were accepting of the relationship and they were happy that they didn't need to hide it anymore. He made his way to the coroners to see what the problem was about.
But while he was running down the street, Barry looks to see what looked like himself running next to him and suddenly vanished as fast as he appeared.
Barry quickly stops to try to find that lookalike and sees nothing around. But he hears two dogs barking at each other, a guy twirling a sign, and a woman shouting for a taxi.
"Yo, Barry. You need to see this." Peter's voice fills in the speakers and Barry decided to shrug it off and runs to the morgue.
When he makes it, he sees Peter standing over the coroner who's dead. Peter was kneeling over his body, looking for any sign of a pulse.
"The coroner's dead, guys." Peter was sorry to inform the guys at STAR Labs. Then he looked and noticed a scorch mark on his chest. "Oh god..."
Later Peter leaves as the cops arrive and Barry looks at the water on the floor. But the scorch on his chest was where the real story apparently was when Peter gave his theory.
"Did the sprinklers go off or something?" Joe questions.
"No, I checked all the sprinklers. They're all intact. But look at this." Barry says as he held a chunk of ice. "Ice. The coroner has multiple impact bruises on his torso, all the size of a tennis ball. Judging by the amount of ice and water on the ground, I'm guessing he was attacked by hail."
"Hail? In here?" Joe questions. "You are thinking Snart maybe?"
"No, the cold gun couldn't have done this. Besides, it's destroyed." Barry reminds him, then he gestured to the mark on his chest. "And this scorch mark? Peter says he's seen it up close before."
"From what?" Joe was getting a little worried.
"The Green Goblin's...this is how he phrased it, zappy fingers." Barry was sorry to say that's how Peter explained it to him.
"So, did the Goblin create a new Cold gun and use it himself?" Joe wonders if that's a possibility. "Just maybe upgraded?"
"Joe, we've got something," Eddie called out as he walked over with a recorder. "The coroner's office just installed an automated dictation system. Listen to this."
They then watched as Eddie played the recording.
"I needed him alive!" Mark said on the recording
"But why?" Goblin asked. "When I can tell you for a bargain."
"I know that voice," Joe mentioned. "That's Mardon."
"Clyde Mardon's dead." Eddie reminded Joe.
"Not Clyde, his brother Mark," Joe explains.
"What bargain?" Mark asks.
"Just your help to get reinforcements," Goblin said. "Because Spider-Man is the one who murdered your brother."
"Green Goblin," Barry muttered in shock.
"Why would the Green Goblin say that Spider-Man killed his brother?" Eddie didn't follow.
"Something tells me he has something planned." Joe took a guess. "And I have a feeling we're not gonna like what it is."
"Whatever it is, it involves Spider-Man," Eddie commented. "We need to find a way to warn him."
"Something tells me he's on it," Barry muttered, knowing he needed to warn Peter.
UNKNOWN HIGH ADVANCED PRISON:
Outside of the prison, it started to snow hard, surprising the people and guards inside. When they were about to investigate it, a pumpkin bomb was thrown at the doors and caused an explosion that sends the guards nearby flying. This was followed by the Goblin flying in and Mark came strolling inside without an issue.
"Freeze!" One of the guards demanded the two of them.
"Do you really want to do this?" Mark asked him.
"Hands up!" The guard tells them.
"Done," Mark said as he raised his hands, summoning a bolt of lightning then sent it flying at the guard.
The guard was struck and sent flying into an office, shattering the glass in the process. The Goblin already locked down most of the doorways that were unnecessary for them, so no backup was coming to help.
The two split up and made their way around the facility and looked for their team. Mark strolled up to one of the cells that were holding Max Dillon. Shattering the glass with hail, he leaned against the walls.
"Early patrol. You interested?" Mark asked him.
Goblin flew around the halls and came across his cell. Blasting it with missiles, he released the one, Otto Octavius. "Good doctor. I have a proposition for you."
Then with the two of them loose, they released Adrian Toomes. The five of them started to make their way outside of the facility before reinforcements made their way over.
The team later the next day came back together with the news of what happened. They were surprised to find out that the Green Goblin was teaming up with Mark Mardon.
"So, Clyde Mardon had a brother?" Caitlin asks Barry.
"And both brothers survived the plane crash, and then the dark matter released when the particle accelerator exploded affected them both the same way," Wells tells them.
"Yeah, only Mark's powers seem to be a lot more precise," Barry says. "To be able to control the weather like that, indoors?"
"You'd have to be a Weather Wizard," Cisco was happy to have a nickname for that. "I've been waiting since week one to use that one." He then takes a drink from his slushie and gets a brain freeze.
"Trigeminal headache," Caitlin informs him.
"What?" Peter, Bobby, and Cisco ask none of them to understand that.
"Brain freeze," Caitlin explains.
"Could've said brain freeze?" Bobby asks of her, and she rolls her eyes.
"So, I'm guessing you running around a twister in the opposite direction isn't gonna do the trick this time," Joe guessed as he was looking at Barry.
"I just remembered. During our run-in with Mardon, I was tinkering with something to help attract unbound atmospheric electrons." Cisco informs the team.
"You mean like a grounding mechanism?" Barry asks his friend.
"Yeah, because the only way that Mardon can control the weather is if he can tap into the atmosphere's natural electrical circuit and if we take away the circuit, clear skies," Cisco explains as Joe answers his phone.
"Sing's checking in. I gotta go." Joe tells them and makes his leave.
Barry then pulled Wells aside, wanting to have a word with him alone.
"I wonder why Goblin told him I murdered his brother," Peter muttered. "He must really need him for something."
"Look, last night, on my way to the morgue, I saw something."
"What'd you see?" Wells was curious to know.
"I was running, and I turned and saw myself. Or another Flash running beside me." Barry explains, not understanding what he saw.
"Interesting." Wells tries some different theories. "It could've been an optical illusion, a mirroring effect caused by wind shear and light, a speed mirage if you will."
"It's just...he seemed real," Barry explains to them.
"Let's focus on finding Mardon first, putting him into the pipeline, then we will find out what we can about what you saw," Wells promises and rolls away.
The Watcher kept his eyes mostly on the enemies rather than the heroes, worried more about what they were going to do. He watched as the Green Goblin brought the enemies into a laboratory off the records.
"Where are we, Goblin?" Mark asks as they strolled inside.
"Somewhere that we can get some upgrades," Goblin said and walked to a table where a man was working on gadgets. "Gentlemen, say hello to Phineas Mason."
The man then turned around to reveal an elderly smaller man with a bald head and goggles. "Goblin." He removed them to get a look at the men Norman brought with him. "And you brought friends. Don't suppose any of them have my money."
"You will get your money," Goblin promises. "Only after Spider-Man is dead."
Mason sighed and knew what he was looking for. Gesturing over to the gear, he pushed a button to show advanced versions of their armory.
"It's up to your specs," Mason promises and showed a vial. "As is this."
Norman looked and smiled as he took the vial from his hands. "After all of this time...Peter Parker will finally meet his defeat to his greatest enemy."
When Max was given his update, he becomes a living energy being. His entire body becomes blue, and a lightning bolt-like symbol appears on his chest.
Otto now wears a dark green bodysuit lined with a black polymer, along with round welding goggles. From the center of his lower back are four long mechanical arms, comprised of a black polymer. At the end of each claw are two sets of four sharp claws, the larger of which are tipped yellow.
Adrian is given his winged suit but is now primarily black and light green with silver trim. The wings on the suit are retractable and are wider than a man's height when fully extended.
Mark was also given a suit that he was told could enhance his abilities. It was a complete one-piece suit with lights on his chest that would enhance his powers and abilities.
With Norman, he pulled the top off of the vial and then chugged the entire thing down in seconds. And within seconds of finishing the vial, Goblin felt his entire body start to change. He started to grow, ripping his way out of his armor.
And now his form has become monstrous with his skin turned into green scales. He has larger pointy eyes, small green goblin ears, a double chin with horns sticking out, and yellow eyes without pupils, horns, and his armored pants. His eyes literally started to burst into flames as he grew a grin with a giant smile on his face, showing off his sharp teeth to the team.
"Now...We have a spider to squash, don't we?" Goblin asks the rest of them.
Over the next few hours, Iris and Barry met up and informed him that her friend at CCN suspects Wells is hiding something, and while he did that, Cisco managed to put together the device.
"I call it the Wizard's wand," Cisco tells the team as he held what looked like a real wand mixed with Dr. Who's screwdriver.
"Subtle," Bobby commented on his naming.
"How does it work?" Caitlin asks them.
"Think of it like a lightning rod that actually works perfectly," Cisco explains to them and passed it to Barry to feel it over. "You just need to point it at the sky, and it'll suck the energy floating around and stops Mardon temporarily." He recaps how it works for them.
"It's more than enough to stop Mardon." Wells was happy to say and sighed, feeling a little cramped. "Excuse me, I need to go stretch my legs."
Barry then looked over to Harrison, Iris's words echoing through his head when Peter called him out. "You okay, bro?"
"Huh? Uh, yeah. Somebody at...somebody at picture news got into Iris's head that something suspicious is going on with dr. Wells." Barry explains to them, and they're confused. "And that he knows what happened to Simon Stagg. Apparently, he hasn't been heard or seen him since Spot."
"What'd you tell her?" Cisco wonders.
"That she's wrong. And she is." Barry shrugged, but Cisco wasn't too sure about that.
Peter and Bobby made their way through the halls and were going to make their way out of the Labs. Peter was supposed to be meeting up with MJ later, so he wanted to get there on time.
"So, do you have any plans for tonight?" Peter asked Bobby, sorry for his friend.
"Actually, I do." Bobby was even surprised to report. "Crystal asked me to go out with her."
"Oh, that's nice." Peter had to admit he didn't see that coming. "How are you guys getting along?"
"Hard to explain," Bobby admitted. "She's nice, but also has a... distance to her."
"Maybe she'll open up tonight." Peter saw it as a possibility.
Bobby and Peter then entered the elevator and sighed. "Who knows? I'll have to wait and see what happens."
Wells strolled into the Time Vault and looked into the future, wondering if something has been fixed.
"Gideon? Show me the future." Wells asked of her.
"Of course, Dr. Wells," Gideon replied
'FLASH VANISHES THE CRISIS'
BY: IRIS WEST
That ironically got Wells worried, seeing that there was no mention of Peter Parker, Spider-Man, or any of his offspring. A drastic change like that couldn't mean anything good was on the horizon.
"Gideon, what happens to Spider-Man?" Wells was curious to know.
'CENTRAL CITY MOURNS ITS FALLEN HERO'
"When does this happen?" Wells asked and looked at the date, shocked when it was supposed to take place. "Oh, god."
Outside of STAR Labs, Electro and Vulture were making their way above the labs, Adrian carrying a device with a red dot bleeping right below them.
"The Goblin said they're being held here?" Max asks, surprised to see where they are. "The same place that created me is holding the other people it created?"
"Don't bother understanding, just do your job," Adrian demanded of him.
"Watch your tone," Max warns the elderly man, siphoning electricity from his form and then dropping as hard and fast as he could.
Slamming into the ceiling, he went down further and further into the building before making it into the pipeline. Once the ceiling caved in, the residents of the pipeline: Shawna Baez (Peek-a-boo), Flint Marko (Sandman), Mark Allen (Molten Man), Jake Simmons (Deathbolt), Kyle Nimbus (Mist) all shielded their eyes from the glowing form of Max before their eyes adjusted.
"What the hell?" Jake asked in shock.
"Max?" Flint was surprised to see him in this new form.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Mark asks his partner in crime.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Max got into the reason why he was here. "I am here to liberate you!" Then he shot out lightning from his fingertips and zapped all of their cell doors, causing them to open automatically. "Courtesy of the Green Goblin!"
"Goblin?" Flint started to worry about Peter.
"What's the catch?" Kyle wonders, feeling there's a catch here.
"The only catch..." Max got the cherry on top of this. "...you must kill the Flash!"
Cisco and Caitlin were talking about the possibility that Iris's friend was onto something. He was asking Caitlin to keep Wells out of the labs for a while when the alarms were blaring.
"There's a breach in the pipeline!" Caitlin cried in terror, both of them running to see what the problem was.
But by the time they reached the doors, they were hit by a blast from Jake and were knocked unconscious. Every nonflying member in the pipeline started to make their way out that way whilst Electro and others made their way up out the hole he had made. With the pipeline signal no longer blocking the nanites in his system, Mark was also transformed back into his Molten Man form.
A while later when Barry arrived and found his friend and girlfriend unconscious, he was shocked to see that the entire pipeline had been emptied. By the time he got Caitlin set up on the medical bed, just repeating the same process he saw Caitlin do for him, Wells came rolling in. Cisco had already woken up and was okay, just had an injured arm that would be fine.
"What the hell happened?" Wells asked as he strolled up to them.
"I...I don't know. I came here, the pipeline was empty, and they were unconscious." Barry sighed, not sure what he was supposed to do now.
"Electro," Cisco reported, starting to sit up with a groan. "Green Goblin seems to have sent Electro to break everyone out."
"Yes, this Green Goblin seems to have had some way of locating his lost property." Wells was referring to Mark, knowing he must have slipped a tracker into the mutant he created. "But all of these enemies have different powers, and different circumstances, so he must need them all for something."
A worrisome thought entered Barry's mind as he thought back to what Goblin said. "Peter. He's gonna use them to go after Peter."
But then an alert went off before he could immediately run off into danger. Wells looked over the information and noticed what the problem was.
"Fire downtown," Wells informed Barry.
Barry sighed and knew he needed to get to Peter fast but knew he couldn't leave those people to die. "I'm gonna take care of that, Dr. Wells, stay with Caitlin, please."
"I'm on it," Wells promised, willing to watch Caitlin.
Barry then ran off, ready to go and face the fire to save Peter from his greatest enemies. Cisco then got up, knowing that if Wells was going to be busy with this, then he could have a moment or two to take a look at the trap.
Barry ran into the building on fire and started to look around for any civilians. But then to his surprise, there wasn't anybody around for him to save. Seemingly, this place was abandoned for some time, so he wasn't entirely sure what to do.
But then he looked through the fire and noticed someone making his way towards him. Jake Simmons made his way over towards Barry with his eyes glowing red with fire.
"Well, lookie what we have here." Jake scoffed.
Peek-a-boo then appeared in the room, showing a giant grin on her face. "Predictable."
Barry started to back away when he backed into someone, causing him to turn and see it was Kyle. "Hello again."
Transforming into mist, he started to enter Barry's lungs, but he spun around, creating a vacuum that sent Kyle flying out and forming back outside. Barry turned around to take them on when Peek-a-boo grabbed him and teleported.
Ending up hundreds of feet in the air, Shawna vanished seconds before Barry could grab onto her again and sent him falling through the air.
Seeing he only had seconds before he went splat, he got a quick idea and started to spin his hands at incredible speed. The vacuum started to cushion him and allowed Barry to land on the floor safely.
Sighing in relief, Barry thought he had a moment to breathe when he was shot in the back by Deathbolt, causing him to scream in pain.
Back in STAR Labs, Cisco works on everything and sees it was functioning properly. There was no reason for it to have failed that night he escaped.
"What?" Cisco asks himself not understanding anything about this.
Cisco then hit some of the buttons and attached his computer. When that was done, all the lights turn off and back on for Cisco to see the Reverse Flash appears in the cage.
The Reverse Flash just stood there, vibrating his face and glowing red eyes staring towards Cisco.
Cisco watches the newly discovered hologram of the Reverse Flash. "My goals are beyond your understanding." Reverse Flash says to nobody, and Cisco realizes that it was a prerecorded message. Cisco works on the computer and rewinds the hologram. "Dr. Wells, we meet at last. My goals are beyond your understanding."
"This doesn't make any sense." Cisco tried to make sense of all of this.
"Oh, I'm not like the Flash at all..." The hologram tells Cisco.
"...some would say I'm the Reverse." A new voice says, and Cisco looks to see Wells standing and looking at him with a smile.
Cisco froze, knowing that there was nothing he could do now to either run or escape.
Bobby and Crystal were walking around the city, just finishing up their first date. The two of them were still talking, Bobby is the one who has been keeping the conversation afloat, noticing Crystal had been recently quiet.
"Everything okay with you?" Bobby asks his date.
"Everything's fine." Crystal promises. "But...I wanna ask you something. Where do you think this is going?"
Bobby wasn't expecting that question coming, and wonders that himself. "I'm not sure. I wanna learn more about you, but you're not making that easy."
"Yeah...I need to learn to be more open." Crystal admitted, seeing she needed to tell him the truth. "You see...the truth is..."
Bobby was listening when they were blinded by something bright down the street. Bobby was shocked when he watched Molten Man come sliding down the street with the Vulture, Weather Wizard, Electro, and Doc Ock following. They were heading to a familiar location which caused Bobby to get worried.
"Oh, god. Peter." Bobby muttered and looked back and forth between Crystal and down the street. "I need to go."
"Go where?" Crystal asks him in confusion.
"I gotta get to Peter's. He's in trouble." Bobby explains.
"Hang on." Crystal stopped him, getting a good idea to help him. "I can get you there."
"How?" Bobby asks.
"You're not the only one with abilities." Crystal then did a whistle, confusing Bobby.
"What are you talking about?" Bobby asks her.
"Come on, Bobby, I know you're Iceman." Crystal scoffed that he thought he hid it well.
Before Bobby could ask Crystal anything else, a giant bulldog with what looked to be a tuning fork on his head appeared out of nowhere.
"What the hell?!" Bobby cried and jumped back in shock.
"That's my dog." Crystal said and held her hand out to him. "I'll explain everything later. Just trust me right now."
Bobby wanted to ask a lot of questions, but Peter's life was on the line. Taking her hand, the bulldog took the two and disappeared from the street.
Back at May's place, Barry had asked Joe if he could stop by to keep an eye out on her for Peter as he was going to be by soon. But he wanted someone to be around for May with him out of the way.
"Peter is a little overprotective at times," May commented as she made her way into the living room, giving a cup of coffee to Joe. "I'm safe here, far away from the city, and none of the criminals know where I live."
"As you said, Peter's protective. You should see how his brother is at times with me." Joe shrugged when there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it."
Getting off of the couch, Joe walked over to the door and opened the door for the surprise of his life.
The Sinister Six stood right in the middle of the street, being led by Norman Osborn. Joe reached back and kept his left hand on his pistol while his other hand was holding onto the door.
"Can I help you?" Joe asks, gesturing for May to run without turning.
"Is that him?" Weather Wizard asks them.
"That's not him," Electro confirmed.
"How do you know?" Adrian asks him.
"I've met him before," Electro replies with a snarky tone.
"Are we in the right place?" Adrian wonders.
"That's not him," Norman informed the rest of his members. "Peter Parker." He says to Joe. "Get him out here. Now."
"And what business do you have with him?" Joe wonders before he recognized the man. "Wait. You're Norman Osborn."
"Peter Parker," Norman stated. "Now."
But then suddenly, Crystal, the giant bulldog, and Bobby appeared in the middle of the two sides. "Better idea. Get the hell out of here...or you'll become the next icicle special!"
Then just before their eyes, Norman started to shapeshift into his gigantic goblin form, shocking the two of them. Goblin roared at them, charging in when a wave of fire interrupted his charge.
Shielding themselves from it, Joe and Bobby looked to see who did it and were shocked to see that it came from Crystal. She was holding her hands out, both of them holding fires and her eyes glowing red.
"Crystal? You're a metahuman?" Bobby was surprised to see.
"No." Crystal replied as she then raised a hand to the sky, blasting a giant gust of wind from her hands to send the villains flying backward. The bulldog took this moment to leave, making his leave so that they can fight this out. "I'm an Inhuman Princess."
"A what now?" Bobby asks in shock.
"What the hell?" Mark asked as he climbed out of the car he slammed into. "Is this house a highway for super-powered individuals?"
"Buddy...I've started to question that." Joe admitted.
Vulture then took to the skies, followed by Bobby creating an ice slide to follow after him. "Come on, you freaks! Bring it!"
Doc Ock then sent one of his hands flying towards the slide, shattering it on impact. Bobby goes flying and is quickly saved by Crystal, manipulating the air around him to slowly place him down.
"Thanks," Bobby commented, surprised at how amazing she is. "Why did you hide your abilities for this long?"
"It's..." Crystal didn't know how to explain it when they were punched by Molten Man and sent flying.
Thanks to her biology, Crystal managed to survive the fire. Due to his ice armor, Bobby managed to live but it also ended up melting. Slamming into the wall, both of them were either rendered unconscious or lightheaded.
"Is Osborn alive?" Weather Wizard asked as he came over to see Ock checking on him.
"He's fine," Doc promised before looking back to the house. "But we have bigger fish to fry."
Joe managed to get May outside of the house out through the back, trying to get her to safety.
"Peter Parker!" Vulture called out. "Come out, you son of a-"
"Wait..." Ock noticed someone marching down the street.
Peter came across the Sinister Six outside of his house. He saw that they were here for payback and must have known his identity to find him.
Vulture wanted first dibs at the hero. He took off down the street and charged at him. "Do you have any idea what you did to me and my life?! I'm gonna-"
Before he even had the chance to finish his rant, Peter shot a web at his face and spun him around. After going around a few times, Adrian was sent flying into the air. The Sinister Six were shocked at his strength and power, seeing they might have crossed a line going after his home. Joe and May made their way around and were shocked when they saw the six of them and only Peter standing.
"Who's...next?" Peter asked his enemies.
Wells starts clapping menacingly while walking toward Cisco.
"You're incredibly clever, Cisco," Cisco started to have a panic attack from this discovery. "I've always said so."
"You're him." Cisco realizes Wells wasn't working with Reverse Flash; he is the Reverse Flash.
"You and I have never been truly, properly introduced." Wells states. "My name... is Eobard Thawne."
"Thawne? Like Eddie?" Cisco questions, not understanding any of this.
"Let's call him a distant relative." Wells tries his best to easily explain.
"The night we trapped the Reverse Flash, you almost died. There were two of you." Cisco states, trying to figure out how he did that.
Thawne raises a finger, showing how he did it as he starts speeding back and forth and creates a double of himself. "It's an after-image, a speed mirage if optic will."
"Joe was right," Cisco was shocked to say, holding his head to hold in this confusion as Wells starts closing down everything he found. "You were there that night in Barry's house, you killed Nora Allen."
"It was never my intention to kill Nora. I was there to kill Barry." Wells admits to Cisco.
"Why? You're his friend." Cisco states, trying to understand. "You've been teaching him how to-"
"To go faster, I know. A means to an end." Wells tells Cisco. "Because I have been stuck here, marooned in this place for 15 years too long. And the Flash, the Flash's speed is the key to my returning to my world. To my time. And no one is going to prevent that from happening."
"What about Peter?" Cisco starts to question.
"Ah, Peter Allen. In all fairness, Peter getting powers was just an accident." Wells says, remembering back to the day when he killed Peter. "Where I'm from, Spider-Man doesn't exist. But that doesn't matter right now. What matters...is this."
"I can help you." Cisco offers, not to want any more people to die.
"You're smart, Cisco," Wells says and starts vibrating his hand, causing Cisco to freeze in place. "But you're not that smart."
Cisco starts getting scared as he didn't want to go out like this, killed by someone he thought was a friend.
"Do you know... how hard it has been to keep all of this from you? Especially from you? Because the truth is, I've grown quite fond of you." Wells admits to him as Cisco starts crying. "And in many ways, you have shown me what it's like to have a son."
Cisco starts to think he might not kill him, only to be immediately followed by Wells stabbing Cisco with his hand.
"Forgive me... but to me... you've been dead for centuries," Wells tells Cisco and he collapses to the floor dead.
Back with Barry, he felt his back where Deathbolt shot him, feeling his back was already starting to heal, but the back of his suit had a scorch mark on it now. Peek-a-boo then appeared in front of him, punching Barry in the face before he had time to react to it. Teleporting away at the last second, she punched him in the back and teleported for Deathbolt to get a second shot.
Barry then sped out of the way, running over to him while Jake was using his powers and punched him in the chest. Deathbolt was knocked flying backward and hit against the wall. Peek-a-boo returned behind Barry, only for him to come back and punch her before she could react.
"Who's next?" Barry asks, looking around for Mist.
The last of the three of them appeared out of nowhere, making his way toward Barry. Flash took off and made his way over to the mist, spinning around him to keep Nimbus in place.
Mary Jane was walking Liz Allen home after her work shift; at the same place where she and Peter had their date. It happened to be a coincidence as neither of them actually knew she was there, but MJ decided to walk her home as Peter needed to run.
"I just I don't see what's so special about Peter Parker," Liz admitted, not seeing Peter in the same light as Mary Jane does. "What makes him so special?"
"What's so special about Peter Parker?" Mary Jane asks with a grin, thinking back to Peter. "Everything."
Liz shrugged just as they ended up outside her home. "Well, I just don't see it."
"It's hard to see, but once you see it, it's hard to unsee." Mary Jane explains to her.
"Meh, he's your mystery to unravel I suppose." Liz shrugged and made her way inside.
Mary Jane then started to walk away when she saw a giant explosion go off near her home. Shielding her eyes from the explosion, she was beginning to get worried as she had a feeling where it came from.
"Peter," MJ whispered before she ran off to get home.
Back near their home, Goblin was awakened and slammed the street near Peter, May, and Joe. Peter grabbed the two of them and leaped out of the way to save their lives.
"You two need to get out of here," Peter tells May and looks to Joe. "Get her out of here!"
"What about you?" Joe asks Peter.
"I'll handle this. I don't care what she says, I don't care what she does. You two get as far away from here as you can." Peter demanded them. "I don't care what happens or what you have to do. You get her out of here!"
"Peter..." May looked and noticed the cut from Ock's arms just earlier. "...you're bleeding."
"Just get out of here!" Peter says as the Goblin comes leaping towards them.
But before he had a chance to land on the ground, Peter leaps up at him and punches Norman in the face. Goblin was sent flying and sent skidding across the street as Peter landed on a light post.
"Hey, Goblin, could you do me a favor?" Peter asks him, catching his breath. "Could you just stay right here...and practice being crazy in silence?"
"Parker!" Norman screamed out as he climbed out of the hole in the street.
Peter however leaped over and landed near Bobby and Crystal. "Yo, Bobby!" He cried out to wake him up. "Come on, I need you to wake up!"
Molten Man then saw he had an opening and so did Electro, the two of them going in charging while Peter was distracted. Charging up a blast, Electro sent a beam of electricity towards Peter as Molten Man sent out a wave of fire.
But just as Peter sensed what was coming, he was quickly saved by a wave of sand that appeared out of the ground. Peter was shocked when he watched a sand form of Flint Marko appear out of the sand wall.
"Peter! It's me!" Flint got Peter's attention, surprised that he came to save him.
"Flint?" Peter was shocked that he saved him and his friends.
"Goblin learned your identity." Flint broke to the hero. "Broke a bunch of the criminals out of STAR Labs to fight you and the Flash."
"Barry." Peter was shocked to hear that his brother was also in danger. "Okay, I need to stop these guys and get to him."
"How do you plan to do that?" Flint wonders.
"You take care of Mark; I'll get the others," Peter told him the plan.
"I'm on it," Flint promised and broke himself down before charging and tackling Mark.
Ock was also hit by the sandstorm, as did Electro as he was sucked into the sand.
Peter then grabbed Bobby and slapped him in the face. "Ow!"
"Bobby! I need your help!" Peter cried when the Goblin comes flying in.
"I got him!" Bobby cried, getting back up and siphoning energy to blast the Goblin. "I've been wanting to do that to you, you don't even want to know for how long!"
But then several pumpkin bombs came flying towards them, causing Peter to jump and Bobby to be blown back once again. Peter looked shocked and saw that that was probably not the best plan to go against a man made of fire now.
Weather Wizard was getting ready to fight back against the hero who supposedly killed his brother when Crystal sent several rocks flying toward him. Taking off into the air, she slammed into the villain.
"Get away from him!" Crystal demanded, summoning wind to send him backward.
Weather Wizard stopped himself by using the same energy and the two started to push themselves away.
Doc Ock was getting to fight back when Bobby got back up and came flying as he blasted Otto to keep him off of his friend.
"You wanna get to him?" Bobby asked Octavius. "You gotta go through me."
Goblin started to look around when Spider-Man came flying and was holding a mailbox when he smacked Goblin in the back of the head. That knocked him back a bit when Peter smacked him in the head for a second time.
"What the plan here, Goblin?" Peter asks, grabbing him by the horns. "You kill me, then what comes afterward?" He then grabbed Norman by the horns and started to ram Norman into the walls. "You will still have a whole group of heroes and armed forces to deal with before you rule the city!"
Norman then grabbed Peter by his head and blasted him with radiational flames that sent him flying. Peter groaned and grabbed onto a car, picking himself up and can't see through his mask, and ended up ripping it off. His whole suit was torn to shreds, his body was cut and ripped to shreds.
"And your hair...will never come back into fashion!" Peter quipped, spitting his blood.
"But you'll be dead!" Goblin proclaimed with a grin, his entire body on fire.
"Well...yeah, there's that," Peter muttered, seeing his point.
Goblin then got ready to finally finish him off when a horn blared down the street. When he turned to see what it was, he was hit by a GMC Sierra 3500 Denali coming in at high speeds. Peter jumped out of the way to avoid getting hit himself but quickly noticed that the person behind the wheel was Mary Jane.
When she rammed into Goblin, the entire front of the car was crushed, but so was Goblin as he was rammed into the truck. The airbag went off and hit Mary Jane in the face, causing her to become lightheaded.
Mary Jane then looked up to see someone punch through the window and cried in terror. But when she was pulled out, she saw that it was Peter just trying to get her out.
"Mary Jane?" Peter asked in shock.
"Did I get him?" Mary Jane asked, looking toward the unconscious Goblin.
"You got him," Peter confirmed, remembering he doesn't have his mask. "Uh..."
Mary Jane smiled as she cupped his cut cheek. "It's okay, tiger. I knew."
"You...knew?" Peter was surprised to hear.
"You weren't really subtle about it." Mary Jane commented.
"Wait." Peter looked down at the truck they were standing on. "Did you steal a car?"
"It... was just there." Mary Jane shrugged.
"You stole it," Peter said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Mary Jane scoffed, reminding him she just saved him.
Peter couldn't help but smile and pulled her in for a kiss. In all the darkness, she risked her life to come in to save him. No powers, no fighting skills, yet risked her life to save him.
But this was his darkest hour, and he couldn't risk her life.
"Now get the hell out of here!" Peter cried as he tossed her away, creating a net to save her.
Peter looked over to see Goblin piercing his way out of the car with an angered look on his face. "This is the day of reckoning, Parker. I'm delivering God's message. God wants this to happen!"
Peter then picked up the truck that Mary Jane just used to crush him with all of his power. Slamming it into the monster, he was having enough of Goblin after all of this.
"SHUT UP!" Peter cried in anger.
Lifting the car off of him, Goblin was still standing and was still taunting the hero. "I will destroy your family. Kill everyone that you know and love."
"Could you do it..." Peter then used as much of his strength and slammed Goblin with the car a second time. "QUIETLY?!"
Peter panted, feeling like he had actually used all of his power to its breaking point. Mary Jane smiled as she saw him fight his greatest enemy and finished him off.
"There you go, Tiger." Mary Jane said with a smile.
"Ow," Peter muttered, feeling his entire body hurt.
But just as things were starting to calm down, Flint punched Molten Man, sending him flying and angering Mark. He then sends a wave of fire, solidifying part of Mark and the fire reached the truck, causing the gas to explode. Peter didn't even have a second to react, his senses working overtime as it was when the boom went off.
The explosion sent him and Doc Ock flying into the wall. Bobby was sent skidding and pummeled by rubble falling around him. Crystal and Weather Wizard were fighting when the bomb frightened Mark to the point Crystal could shoot him with ice and freeze him solid.
Barry finally spun around long enough that Mist couldn't hold the gas for too long and Barry finally knocked him out.
"Is that it?" Barry asks in annoyance. Looking around, he was expecting another metahuman to show up. "Anyone else wanna give it a shot?"
But then he watched the explosion going off in the distance and froze in shock. He was so focused on stopping the three of them, that he forgot that Peter was in trouble.
"Peter..." Barry then sped off, trying to get there as fast as he could.
Peter groaned as he looked to see Max coming back for his shot. He started to summon electricity and smiled to see the hero was taken down and injured enough to take him down.
"Look at me, Spider-Man!" Max called him out, making Peter look to face him. "I want to see the life leave your eyes."
Peter coughed up more blood, feeling his body has been pushed to its limits. "You know, Electro...you were my greatest adversary, and it was an honor to battle you." He then spat out a tooth and spat some more blood. "Oh wait, that wasn't you. I barely gave you a second thought."
"Hope you enjoyed that," Electro said, ready to kill him. "Now, I-"
But then Max was shot in the chest three times, shocking everyone when they saw that the person who shot him wasn't Joe. But standing in front of him was May Parker, holding out the gun that took down the metahuman.
Bobby was shocked when he walked over, holding his broken arm. "Your aunt has a gun?"
"May has a gun." Peter was shocked to say.
"That...was awesome." Mary Jane commented, seeing Peter's condition. "Peter!"
May ran over and grabbed Peter and cupped his head. "Peter!"
Crystal walked over to Bobby and saw he was okay. Bobby stood over his best friend, wondering if he was gonna make it. Molten Man and Sandman were still battling it out, but they decided to let the two of them fight, feeling they can't help them much.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" May called out to the crowd that formed and surround them.
"I'm sorry, Aunt May," Peter slurred out. "I'm so sorry."
"What are you apologizing for?" May asks, not seeing why he's apologizing.
"I know...that...this isn't the life you wanted for me." Peter tried to talk through the pain.
May couldn't help but chuckle. He was hurt. In pain. Fighting for his life. Yet he's apologizing for something so stupid right now. She leaned down and pecked his head.
"You crazy boy," May commented as she fixed some of his hair. "But...cute. Don't worry. We'll get you help."
"It's okay..." Peter said as he held his aunt May's shirt, laying against the grass. "I did it."
Barry then sped into the scene from the other side of the city and saw Peter. "Peter!"
"Barry..." Peter was happy to see his brother here as he ran by his side. "You made it."
"Oh, god, what happened?" Barry asked, looking around at the enemies and the two elementals still fighting it out. "I gotta get you to a hospital."
Barry then tried to pick him up but was met with Peter crying in pain. He immediately stopped and placed his brother back down.
Barry saw that wasn't an option. "We can't move him."
"Ah, that didn't feel so good." Peter tried to make light of the situation.
"Just hold on. Save your energy." May begged of him. "The ambulance is on its way."
"I couldn't save him." Peter grew a smile at what he did.
"Who?" May questions, lost in the moment.
"Uncle Ben," Peter explains to her, holding her shirt. "I couldn't save him. No matter what. But I saved you...I did it."
"Just hang on," Barry begged of him.
"Barry..." Peter whispered out, trying to talk to his brother. "...this...has been the best year of my life. I...I love you, big brother..."
Peter's hand became limp and dropped down to his side. His breath then ceased, causing their hearts to drop. Leaning in close, listening for a heartbeat, Barry didn't find anything.
Closing his eyes, Barry started to cry. May gasped and started to tear up.
"No!" May cried, being comforted by Joe as he came over and comforted her. "Not him, too!"
Mary Jane came over and held onto him, crying her eyes out. "Tiger..."
Bobby dropped to the ground in agonizing pain, feeling the loss of his best friend. Someone he considered family. Crystal hugged him, not sure what else to do at this moment for him.
In the crowd, there was a figure wearing a black hoodie with their face covered. They looked over the scene and were shocked at what they saw. Tears formed in their eyes at the sight of the young boy.
The Watcher was shocked at what he witnessed and mourned the hero. "You shouldn't be dead. You can't be dead. Out of all the timelines, out of all the possibilities...this shouldn't be one of them..."
Peter himself was being led down a tunnel of light. Holding his hand over the one man he never thought he would see again.
Ben Parker.
Ben led him into the light, holding onto Peter as he stumbled into the light.
"You did good, kid," Ben assured him.
As the family mourned for their fallen member, Molten Man was increasing in heat, trying to take down the Sandman.
"The Goblin is gone. You can stop!" Flint tried to stop him.
"Don't you see?! I can't!" Mark stated in anger. "I can't stop what's happening!"
Then Flint started to notice the heat was starting to melt everything around them. "Flash!" Barry was still mourning his brother when he looked and noticed what was happening. "I can't stop him!"
Flint then started to circle Mark, solidifying due to the heat. Barry saw there wasn't anything that he could do right now to stop what was coming.
Mark let off a giant heatwave that killed everyone in the vicinity. That included the Sandman. When he started to fall apart, Barry saw there wasn't anything left that he could do.
Peter was dead, the criminals were on the loose, and the others has killed his brother. Then to his shock, Green Goblin got back up on his feet, forcing his way back up. Pulling out the Black Hole generator, he activated it and fell into a black hole.
Seeing he didn't have another choice, the heat already consuming most of the people he was trying to protect, Barry ran away.
He ran as fast as he could while Molten Man's heatwave consumed the entire city and he continued to run. As he ran as fast as he could as fast as his legs could carry him, he felt the energy of the universe enter him.
The Watcher noticed what was happening and knew that they had a second chance. "Run, Barry...run."
The faster Barry ran, the more he missed the city being destroyed by the heat. The faster he ran, the closer he got to fixing everything.
As he was running down the street, Barry looks to see what looked like himself running next to him. Exactly just like the other day when he saw it, just in reverse on his opposite side.
Barry quickly stops to try to figure out what was happening. But then he hears the familiar sound of two dogs barking at each other, a guy twirling a sign, and a woman shouting for a taxi.
Talk about Déjà Vũ.
"Oh boy..." Barry asked in complete shock.
This shouldn't be possible.
This all happened just the other day.
The Watcher looked at the now-altered timeline and knew that Barry Allen now had a second chance to stop it. The timeline could be altered, but there is a chance that they can get a bigger problem.
But nothing was bigger than what could have destroyed the city.
"You have a second chance, Barry Allen." The Watcher informed the man, knowing that he can't hear him. "Don't waste it."
