Harry called Mary Jane from their apartment, asking how she was, as Mary Jane brushed him off and hung up, Harry informed Peter how she was and apologised for not telling Peter earlier about him and her. Harry said he never made a move though and Peter agreed, saying he didn't. Harry asked what that thing was, referring to the Goblin, Peter said he didn't know but somebody had to stop it.

"Harsh, but I get why she thinks like that." MJ noted.

"Why does she?" Cindy asked.

"In her eyes, she was saved by a hero, one who has clearly captured her heart by doing so, whilst Harry ran away. They're definitely on borrowed time in that relationship." MJ explained.

"Yeah, I think I'd be wondering what he was if I didn't know about Goblin." Bruce muttered.

At his own penthouse, Norman was visited again by a cackling voice, asking around for the source of it, he saw his own reflection, meaner looking, speaking and moving independently of himself. It told him how they had killed the board members and had made so many good things happen for Norman all at once. Goblin told Norman they could have unlimited power, and only Spider-Man could stop them, but what if he joined them instead?

"That must have been so jarring for him, to be faced with his darkest impulses, tempted by them, offered the world by it." Ikaris shook his head, casting a longing look at Sersi. What would he give to have a chance to take it all back, to get back with her?

"He wanted you to join him?" Steve asked Peter-2.

"He figured we could do much more together than opposed, either that or he just wanted to keep an eye on potential competition, but it was never an offer I'd consider, and I think any Peter Parker would have turned him down." Peter-2 firmly stated.

At the Bugle, Peter showed his photos to JJJ, who demanded to copyright the name Green Goblin, as Peter said they were slandering Spider-Man, JJJ said it was in print, so it was libel. JJJ dismissed Peter when he threw his cigar out of the window, being shocked as it returned. His office then exploded as the Goblin appeared, grabbing JJJ by the throat and demanding to know who was the photographer involved with Spider-Man. JJJ insisted he had no idea, the stuff came in the mail, before Goblin could hurt him, Spider-Man swung down, webbing JJJ when he tried to accuse them of being in cahoots. Before Spider-Man could do anything, Goblin told him to sleep as he sprayed him with some gas, knocking Spider-Man out. Catching him, Goblin flew them both away.

"I mean, it's a catchy name, but I do prefer flying green elf." Wanda joked, trying to lighten the mood.

"That's some neat skills to catch a cigar in the air like he must have done." Abe stated.

"Wait, JJJ is protecting you? It can't be that hard for Goblin to see it's you, your name would be in the print, wouldn't it?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, at first I thought it was just to protect his source of Spider-Man photos, but I realised about the byline, Goblin could have found my name easily just from that. I know JJJ, like I said, in my world, he's a good guy, not like the sleaze ball he seems to be here." Peter-2 said.

"Well, he's definitely a bit of a dick." Betty admitted.

"I think he genuinely wanted to keep me safe, just some random kid he had only met a few weeks before, but he wanted to keep me safe from this villain, even if it meant risking his own life." Peter-2 finished.

"He knocked you out?" Tony asked.

"I was fine. I'm not entirely sure why he used the knockout gas, I never saw him try use it again and he didn't use it when he was here."

Spider-Man woke up as Goblin told Spider-Man how the people would eventually turn on him, even with all the good he was doing, but Goblin planned to rule the city and they could do it together if he wanted, or they could fight and kill each other and the people would just brand them both as criminals. He told Spider-Man to think on his offer to join forces as he left Spidey alone.

"He does have a point. I've seen heroes get torn down before by fickle opinion. But trying to rule over the city and causing fear and panic wherever he goes isn't the way to fix that." Eddie said.

"I never even considered what he offered me, I just knew I had to stop him, somehow." Peter-2 explained.

"Even heroes fall." Peter-3 said quietly, thinking back to his own world, how he had gotten more violent, and what Goblin said, they would turn on him, in his world, they had.

The next night, Peter caught up with Mary Jane, who he had heard had an audition, as he saw a Daily Bugle, with citizens calling for Spider-Man to be arrested. Mary Jane said she was told she needed acting lessons by the casting crew of the soap opera, as Peter offered to buy her a cheeseburger. She declined, saying she was going out with Harry, offering Peter to come with, before he declined as well. Mary Jane and Peter painfully flirted without actually properly flirting for another moment before she left him alone in the rain.

"They're calling for your arrest?!" Hope asked, angered.

"JJJ saw me go away with Goblin and I hadn't returned, he managed to spin it to make it look like we were working together." Peter-2 shrugged.

"That's not nice of them." Betty glared.

"At least she's off out with Harry to cheer her up?" Flash offered.

"She should be going out with Peter!" Cindy insisted.

"Are you two just badly flirting?" MJ smirked at Peter-2 who flushed.

"I was awkward!"

"She definitely thinks you might be Spider-Man." Nebula simply stated.

"She definitely did have her suspicions already." Peter-2 nodded.

Peter saw two men decide to follow her and headed off, as Mary Jane was chased into an alleyway, Peter saw four men trying to assault her and attacked, webbing them and then beating them, all unmasked. Mary Jane tried to follow as he fled down a side alley to hide, she looked around before he swung down, upside down, his mask now on, to tell her she had a knack for getting into trouble. Mary Jane thanked him for saving her, calling him amazing, before rolling his mask slightly down, uncovering his mouth and kissing him.

"I guess, even if it isn't really me, thank you." MJ told Peter-2.

"Why were they after her?" Sprite asked.

"Some people are just the worst." Phastos told her. "That's all the reason they need."

"Why are you doing this without your mask on, do you want her to find out who you are?" Tony asked Peter-2.

"I mean, she probably already figured it out." Peter-3 sheepishly said, glaring slightly as she saw Mary Jane and Peter-2 kissing.

"Aww, that's so romantic!" Cindy and Betty cooed as they watched the upside down kissing.

"I bet I could do that." Ned huffed in mock annoyance.

"We'll try it out sometime, babe." Betty winked at him.

Decided to do another mega fic alongside this one, as I'm an idiot. The first chapter will be published in the next few days, the title will be "I Was Iron Man" and the premise is its a time travel fix it as well as an MCU rewrite, but a slight deviation on any other I've seen before. Basically it'll be a they all go back in time, from the moment they were last in the MCU, or latest period of the timeline, depending on the hero, but they'll only get their memories back at their first on screen, in other words, when Wanda is in Sokovia getting her powers, she'll get her memories back then, whilst Tony will get his back years earlier when he's in Afghanistan.
