At the Bugle, JJJ realised that maybe Spider-Man was a hero, and he couldn't see it. Before he could say anything else, the Spider-Man suit vanished from the wall, with a note left that he was taking it back. JJJ demanded that Spider-Man be caught, the Bugle printing a special edition "HE'S BACK!"

"He's even willing to admit you do good for the people and are a hero? What twilight universe is this?" Abe sniggered.

"JJJ isn't too bad, at least in my universe. He seems like a prick in yours." Peter-2 explained. "He's helped me out, like you saw with Goblin. He's a good man, deep down."

"I mean, is it theft if he literally got it from the trash?" Ned asked.

"I'd argue not, but at the same time, is it theft for Peter to take his stuff back if JJJ isn't the legal owner and everything?" Scott pondered.

"If he's as good as Peter-2 says he is, and he's publishing an article revealing the Spider-Man is back, I get the feeling he won't be attempting to press charges for the theft." Bruce smiled.

Spider-Man met Ock at the tower, as Ock attacked him, they fought through the streets and onto a subway train, both landing some hits before Ock disabled the brakes and jumped off, telling Spidey it was him or the train.

Damn, are neither of you worried about fall damage from that tower?" Sam asked.

"I've survived worse falls before." Peter-2 smirked. "I'm just blinded by rage here though, he's taken MJ, I'm worried he's going to hurt her or worse, I still care for her deeply, I love her. I wasn't going to let him get away with it."

"Those poor people on the train." Happy muttered. "Please tell me you make the right choice, kid?"

"I'm probably your age, Mr Hogan." Peter-2 laughed. "Or at least close. Though to answer you, yeah, I chose the train."

Spider-Man stopped the train after removing his mask but exhausted himself, collapsing, the people on the train caught him before he fell off of a bridge, all promising to keep his identity safe and thanking him for returning and saving them.

"How are you possibly doing that? Your webs alone couldn't be strong enough, could they? You're clearly barely slowing it by using your feet and your body weight and should by all rights be dead." Tony gaped.

"Just good old Parker determination and Spider-Man grit." Peter-2 joked.

"They caught up and pulled you into the train? They'll know who you are!" Cindy gasped.

"I wouldn't discount all New Yorkers as bad apples just yet." Steve smiled, having an idea what might happen if the people were rescuing Spider-Man.

"How old is his kid? You're like 20 here, aren't you?" Ned asked.

"Yeah, never did find out if he's got a really old child." Peter-2 stated.

"They're going to keep your secret? Humans never fail to surprise me." Nebula blinked.

"THESE ARE GOOD PEOPLE. THEY WILL NOT BE EATEN." Venom grinned.

"I'm sure they'd be thrilled to know that, buddy." Eddie told him with a sigh.

"Aww the little kids are offering you the mask back and thanking you." Scott beamed.

"They were good kids." Peter-2 agreed. "Glad that train did keep my identity secret."

As Spider-Man took his mask back, Ock attacked, Spider-Man telling the people to stand down and let Ock through, who knocked Spider-Man out and carried him away

"Is he seriously going to hurt all of these people? He's a vile monster. Forget anything about him seeming nice at times in the last one, he's evil!" Betty cried.

"It wasn't Doctor Octavius' fault!" Peter-2 protested. "The AI had control of him here. You saw the real Otto beforehand and after your Peter cured him. He's a good man, he just made some mistakes. He redeemed himself."

"They're seriously not going to let him past? What about the threat to them, they've just got fists. He's got mechanical arms." Sprite asked, bewildered even now at how selfless humans could be sometimes.

"They're New Yorkers. We may seem to hate everyone, but we defend our own fiercely." Peter-3 grinned.

"A true hero, not letting him harm the innocents and sacrificing yourself for them." Thor nodded in approval.

"Well I can't let suffering happen if I can stop it." Peter-2 insisted.

"He's going to take you to Harry, isn't he?" Bucky asked as Peter-2 nodded.

"It's time Harry learnt the truth."

At Osborn's Manor, Ock dropped Spider-Man off on the same couch he left Norman's body on, as Harry opened the safe for the Tridium. Ock knocked him aside and took it without a glance backwards, as Harry moved towards Spider-Man, wrapped up in barbed wire, raising a knife. He said he would look into Spider-Man's eyes as he died, ripping off the mask.

"He's just giving him the Tridium?!" May asked.

"Harry has what he wants, Otto has no personal beef with Spider-Man, he just wants to complete his experiment, no reason for them not to take what they want and go away happy." Peter-3 muttered.

"Harry isn't going to use that knife, is he?" Flash asked, stunned and scared.

"No." Peter-2 simply frowned.

"Definitely got some demons in him." Yelena shook her head.

"Now he knows the truth, this is going to turn ugly, isn't it?" Kate worried.

At the sight of Peter, Harry dropped the knife and mask and stumbled backwards. Sitting up, Peter ripped through the wire and asked where Mary Jane was. Harry said he didn't know about that, all Ock wanted was the Tridium. Peter realised he had rebuilt his machine and he needed to go stop Ock before he destroyed the entire city. Harry said Peter had killed his father, Peter said there were bigger things happening than the two of them, he had to stop Ock.

"You've just upended his entire worldview. The only one he thought was in his corner is the one he hates more than anything." MJ sighed, seeing the shock on Harry's face. "What does he do about it?"

"Well he didn't stab me, that's a positive." Peter-2 deadpanned before winking.

"Did you really think he would know where MJ was?" Clint asked.

"I have no idea, I was worried and Harry seemed to be in on it in some way."

"Damn, how strong are you, to rip through barbed wire like that?" Natasha asked.

"Pretty strong." Peter-2 laughed.

"Harry isn't going to let it go for the sake of your friendship, is he?" Cindy asked, hoping she'd be wrong.

"Sadly not. I may not be the immediate issue, Harry still cared for MJ after everything, and wasn't going to stop me then, but the bill would come due for me and him eventually."

"That doesn't sound ominous at all." Kate spoke up.

"The Bill comes due." Strange whispered, thinking over what Mordo had said to him, all those years ago. That reminded him, he had to track down Mordo eventually. Stop the madness the man was spreading by hunting down sorcerer
