Six MONTHS AGO:

The Glades turned into panic, and everyone was screaming in panic as chaos erupted everywhere.

"Yes, and I have proof that he has killed dozens in pursuit of this madness. Adam Hunt, Frank Chen, and my husband...Robert. Please, if you reside in the Glades, you need to get out now."

In one of the houses, Adrian Toomes was tossing everything into a bag that he could think of. "We need to get out!"

"Where do we go?" Doris Toomes, his wife, asked as she was trying to get into contact with their daughter. "I can't get into contact with Liz!"

"We'll get her when we reach her friends." Adrian stated as he grabbed the suitcase and began to get out of the house. "We'll get as far out of the city as we can."

As they tried to make it to their car, the first earthquake hits and suddenly causes the ground to crack below them.

"Doris!" Adrian tried to grab onto her just as their home suddenly came crashing down and tumbled down on top of the two of them.

Once Adrian woke up again, it was back in the hospital a week after the Glades collapsed and all he wanted to know was where his daughter and wife were...What he learned was worse than he could possibly imagine.

He survived the house falling down and crashing onto them, but his wife didn't. And his daughter Elizabeth was also a victim of a collapsing building, but at least survived and was put into a coma.

When he was released, he was left with a whole lot of bills from the hospital and sees he needs to step up his money if he wants to keep paying these bills.

"...In other news, Moria Queen was arrested for cooperating with Malcom Merlyn who was murdered by the Hood, now awaiting trial in Iron Heights. Her children, Thea, Oliver, and Peter Queen haven't been seen since the collapse of the Glades. Other sources have shown Oliver Queen has left the city, but the biggest news seems to be the arrival of a mysterious figure protecting people within the Glades."

"Man, this time last month we had to worry about losing out contracts, and now we've got earthquake machines destroying cities and superheroes in the Glades." Phineas Mason stated to Adrian.

"You know...you're right." Adrian suddenly got an idea as he looked towards Phineas and Jackson Brice. "The world's changing, boys...it's time that we changed, too."

FIVE MONTHS LATER:

Helen and Gwen were strolling down the street and were just going for a stroll.

"Your dad wanted to come, but he said he was pulled into something with Spider-Man." Helen tells her daughter.

"Come on, Mom, this is becoming some weird obsession with him." Gwen stated as she rolled her eyes at that comment. "It's his day off and he rather chase some hero in a mask rather than actually take his day off."

"Gwen, you know how-" Helen was saying just as there was an explosion down the street.

Down the street, Peter grabbed onto the undercarriage and began to crawl up to the front as he heard Li and the driver talk in Japanese. Or possibly Chinese. You know, he should really look into taking a second language in school.

Peter then reached the front of the truck and saw the briefcase with Devils Breath was removed from the doctor and was by Li's side. He tries his best to not make noise and went for a grab at the case, just as Li noticed him and grabbed his hand.

"What are you doing!?" Peter asked as he tried to break free from his grasp but began to feel himself getting weaker.

"Giving you a new perspective..." Li said as a flash of light consumed Peter's vision.

While that was going on, the truck kept going through the streets, as Helen and Gwen ran for cover as the tank turned the corner, destroying an entire side of a building where Helen and Gwen were at.

"Gwen! Look out!" Helen cried and shielded her daughter as an entire portion of the building fall and crush on top of the two of them.

PRESENT DAY:

Peter and Miles were currently dodging bullets from another gang with guns and taking cover from a massive explosion caused by one of their newer weapons inside of a warehouse in the Glades.

"What the hell?!" Miles cried out as he grabbed his head and curled up to block out the noise. "Where are all of these guys getting all of these weapons?!"

"I don't know, but we need to find out who's supplying them." Peter stated as he was using a bunch of boxed weapons as a barricade. "We need to learn if any of them know anything about Tinkerer or Vulture!"

"Sure, got any ideas on how to get the hell out of here?" Miles asked Peter as he tried to look over the boxes he was hiding behind just as he missed getting grazed by a laser cannon. "Too close!"

"Okay, I've got an idea." Peter said as he comes up with an idea. "But you need to trust me."

"Why?" Miles was afraid to know.

"It involves you being used as a diversion." Peter answered with a apologetic tone.

"Is it safe to say I don't trust you?" Miles asked him.

On the other end of the crates, all of the men finally stopped opening fire as they saw no movement from the other end.

"Did we kill them?" One of them asked.

One slowly approached the boxes and was about to raise his gun when he was webbed in the face and then immediately was kicked in the face by Miles as he leaped in and landed on the wall.

"Gotta say, those guns just don't seem to have quite the kick like they used to!" Miles stated, finally making a good quip as he then climbed up the wall and dodged the blasts from their guns as Peter got to work.

Peter sneaked past with help of the crates and finds the sprinkler system in the building and quickly activated it. Once it was, it started to sprinkle water down on them blinding all of them.

"I think they call this a dance raid, I'm not quite sure." Peter commented as he strolled up and punched the nearest armed man, knocking him out.

Miles then dropped from the ceiling and spun his leg to kick another guy in the face.

One of them tried to run away but was immediately stopped by Miles and Peter as they both shot a strand of webbing at his back and yanked him towards them and caused him to slide down to their feet.

Peter then stepped on his shoulder and leaned down to his face. "Now, listen, it's been a long day, we've got somewhere to be in ten minutes, and it's a school night. So you're gonna tell us what we want to know."

"O-okay!" The man promised as he panted in fear.

"Did the Vulture supply you with these weapons?" Peter asked him.

"Y-yes. He...he's our normal supplier. But recently he's stepped up his game with these new weapons." He informed them.

"Who is he? Where do we find him?" Peter asked.

"You don't find him...he finds you." He promises and the two sensed something coming before hearing the police sirens and knew it was time for them to bail themselves.

Meanwhile, Walter was having a party at their house for Queen Consolidated, meaning it was a no-kids-allowed situation for Peter and his friends. Which is why they decided to stay out as long as they could and doing anything they could for the night until the party was over.

So they were currently just getting ready to bowl at the lanes.

"You ever find it weird?" Anya asked as she was with MJ and getting their bowling shoes on. "How we have to pretend to be everyday people when our friends are currently fighting armed gun men?"

"Nah, I just see them as special." MJ admitted as she placed her shoes on.

Anya then went silent and has to say something that's been on her mind. "Okay, I just have to ask. How are you so calm after everything?"

"You mean after the Dollmaker kidnapped me last week?" MJ asked her and got her answer with dead silence. "I was scared, not gonna lie. But...but I knew it was also a matter of time until Peter or Miles found me."

"You put your life on Peter finding you in time?" Anya asked.

"Yeah, I guess I kind of did." MJ guessed just as she saw the boys approached them. "And speak of the devils."

Peter and Miles strolled over to the two of them and had their own pairs of shoes already.

"Sorry we're late. Had to deal with some men with some new weaponized guns." Peter explained as he reached behind them and picked up his and MJ's bowling ball.

"No worries, we just got ready." Anya told them before wondering something. "Hey, isn't it a bit unfair that we're going to be going against the two of you who have super strength?"

"Don't worry, I control it, so it'll be a fair game." Peter promises. "And I'll watch out for this one to make sure he isn't cheating."

"Wow." Miles said with exasperation in his voice. "You really think that I'd have to cheat in a bowling game to beat you?"

"Oh, I know you do." Peter scoffed as he and the others grabbed their own bowling balls and made it to their lane.

Back at the Queen mansion, Oliver just made it back and was immediately met with Felicity in the way inside.

"What kept you? Was it our masked blonde that carries that giant staff to beat the sauce out of attackers?" Felicity asked Oliver.

"This time it was guns." Oliver told her.

"Guns?" Someone got their attention and saw it was Blood. "We were just talking about guns."

"Hey, Oliver." Laurel got Oliver's attention as she appeared to be with Blood.

"Hi." Oliver greeted her kindly.

"What is your interest in guns, Mr. Queen?" Sebastian asked.

"Never touched them myself." Oliver quickly lied.

"The gun epidemic in the Glades has gotten increasingly out of control." Blood commented. "Especially with this strange new power source they've somehow gained to supercharge the guns."

"Well, I'm sure the SCPD will discover who's supplying them fast enough." Oliver said, causing Blood to slightly laugh. "Did I say something funny?"

Laurel decided to step in and explain. "They already know who's supplying the streets, Oliver. The Vulture."

"The who?" Oliver asked, never hearing this name before.

"Some gang lord who picks off the corpses of technology and repurposes it before he sells them off to the streets." Blood explains the best he can.

"Why hasn't anyone stopped him?" Oliver was curious to know.

"Nobody's ever come up against him, and those who have, they talk of him having giant wings like a demon and barely living to tell the tale." Blood did his best to explain. "Everyone fears turning against him."

"Hope to see him brought to justice soon I guess." Oliver told them.

"So, where's Peter?" Laurel asked.

"He and his friends went out to go bowling and see a movie." Oliver said while Felicity just had an epiphany.

"Uh, could you excuse us really quick?" Felicity asked as she took Oliver away. "I just had a thought. What if our masked friend that keeps showing up everywhere you go, what if we've been looking at it all wrong?"

"What do you mean?" Oliver asks.

"Okay, so a while back, Miles Morales, you know, Peter's friend?" Felicity tries to explain.

"Felicity. What is your point?" Oliver asks.

"He says that he ran into our blonde friend, and then she later showed up and was there when MJ was taken by the Dollmaker." Felicity tries to make him see what she's saying.

"You...you think that-"

"I think she's following your family." Felicity answered.

"But for that to work, she'd have to know I'm the Arrow." Oliver reminded her.

"Yeah. I know." Felicity assured him and that makes Oliver think about Peter's night out and has an idea to test her theory.
