Oliver came up with an idea that could help them save the city by getting closer to Slade. But in doing so, they might put the rest of their family in danger as it requires Slade to attack their home.

"What's going on?" Thea asks as the Queen family was being led out of the home by Peter and his Spider friends.

"We just gotta get you guys out of here," Miles said as they got their first look at Anya.

"Anya?" Moria was shocked to see her in a Spider-Suit.

"Long story." Anya shrugged and gestured to the car. "We're gonna get you somewhere safe."

Oliver then had a talk with Felicity inside the empty home as the Queens were relocated to F.E.A.S.T. Luckily it was still standing and Slade's men haven't made their way over to them.


Once they have everything taken care of, Oliver, Roy, Sara, a group of Assassin, and the Spider-Heroes were making their way down the tunnel. Going in the opposite direction as Slade's Mirakuru soldiers, they have them cornered and ready to take them down. They were still waiting to see if Felicity could locate MJ to see where Slade had taken her so they can rescue her. As of now, they just needed to focus on saving the city.

This war ends now.

"No kill shots. Let the cure do its work." Oliver reminds the League.

At the sound of his voice, all of the Mirakuru soldiers turned to face the handful of enemies and charged at them. The team kept their walking pace as they watched them charge toward them.

"Ready?" Oliver asks, more of a demand than a question. "Fire!"

All of the heroes then shot the cure out in their own ways, rather it is arrows or throwing them at the criminals. Fighting them down when they got too close, they made quick work of these indestructible soldiers with an injection. Peter webbed one in the face, dragging it closer to him before spinning around and kicking him in the face.

Miles went invisible as he sneaked around and charged up some bio-electricity, he shot out a web to trip a Mirakuru soldier, leaping onto his chest where he then sent out a blast of electricity through their body.

Anya came leaping and tackled one off a car before punching him in the face. Getting a thought in mind, she looked around at her friends. "Hey, so what do I call myself?"

"Are we seriously talking about this right now?!" Peter asks as he leaped onto the ceiling, shot a web, and yanks one of the soldiers, smacking him into the ceiling.

"Well, what are these guys supposed to be afraid of?" Anya asked as she didn't even face the Mirakuru soldier coming from behind and punching him out. "You're called Spider-Man. He's called Kid Arachnid."

"Are we seriously calling me that?!" Miles asked as he did a backflip, grabbing onto a Mirakuru soldier's shoulders, webbing the ground, then pulling the soldier to smash his head. "I never agreed to that name!"

"So, what do I get to be called?" Anya wonders.

"We'll discuss this later!" Peter stated as he shoved the last Mirakuru soldier against the wall. "We've still gotta find MJ."

"You've been busy, kid." Their comms were suddenly hacked by Slade.

"Slade, your army is broken. It's over!" Oliver called into the comm.

"And I pity them. But once again, you missed the point." Slade informed them. "I have the ones you and your brother love."

"Slade, if you harmed her..." Peter snarled into the comm.

"You'll do what? Kill me?" Slade asks him. "You already tried that, kid."

"I held back," Peter informed him. "Where is she?"

"You know, I was surprised when I saw her. But I have to agree...Mary Jane is quite lovely. As well as your Felicity."


Peter and Oliver left to fight and finish Slade themselves as the others stayed and were picking off the last of Slade's army. The two of them had a score to settle with Slade as he held the people they loved.

"What's the plan?" Peter asks Oliver. "For getting them out, I mean."

"We'll have to worry about that after we see what he's done to them," Oliver stated.

But when they were talking, there was a slight rumbling around the facility. Peter sensed something was coming and shoved Oliver out of the way. A giant hole in the facility was blown off and sent rubble flying everywhere. Rhino stood tall as steam was intimating from the pipes he burst open and growled towards him.

"Aleksei." Peter snarled as he got into his iconic stands. "Where's Mary Jane Watson?"

"She is safe," Rhino said as he started to walk second to the hero. "For now." Peter reached into his satchel and saw he has one needle full of the cure left. "Do you think that will save you?"

"Why not?" Peter shrugged, knowing he only gets one shot at this. "It'll turn you into less of a psychopath."

"I will crush you, Spider," Rhino promises.

"Spider-Man?" Oliver was getting ready to draw an arrow.

"Go get Slade, I'll take care of this escaped zoo convict!" Peter said as he raced at Rhino, who then ran and grabbed onto Peter before running through several walls. "Rhino, I'm gonna have to ask you to vacate the premises! Or at least eat a tic-tak."

Oliver decided to trust his brother and walked through the warehouse again, looking for where Slade is. "Move and I will slit your throat."

Oliver knew those words.

"Those were the first words that I ever said to you." Slade reminds Oliver. "If only I had killed you then...everything would be different."

Oliver finally found Slade and Felicity, Mary Jane being held by one of his Mirakuru soldiers. Laurel was dragged into the room and Oliver saw he couldn't save the three of them at the same time. He'd need backup to keep them all safe and end this.

"Drop the bow, kid. Now." Slade demanded, a sword up to Felicity's neck. Oliver decided to do just that and try and talk down Slade first. "I have dreamed of this. Countless nights of taking from you what you took from me."

"By killing the woman I love? Like you loved Shado?" Oliver asks Slade. "You see her, don't you? Well, what does she look like in your madness, Slade? What does she say to you? I remember her being young. Kind. Beautiful. She would be horrified if she saw what you had done in her name."

"What I have done?" Slade asked in anger. "What I have done is what you lack the courage to do. To fight for her! So...when her body lies Ah your feet. Her blood wet against your skin...then you will know how I feel!"

"I know how you feel," Oliver promises. "I know what it's like to hate. To want revenge. And now I know how it feels to see my enemy so distracted...he doesn't see the danger right in front of him."

Felicity then pulled out the reason she was dropped at the house. The last of the Mirakuru cure. Spinning around, she injected it into his neck and began to cure him of the Mirakuru. And just then, the last of his army was zapped which reveals Miles was there, just waiting in the shadows, and zapped the soldier.

Peter then came crashing through the walls as Rhino slammed into the ground. "Whew..." he sighed as he took a moment to catch his breath. He then eyed Slade and saw Miles was getting the girls out of the room. "Hello!"

Not giving Slade even a second to comprehend what just happened, Peter leaped in and kicked Slade backward. Slade took the chance to run whilst Oliver and Peter both ran after him, leaving the unconscious Rhino on the ground.

As they reached the roof, Slade was kicked through some glass as the brothers made their way over to the enemy. Charging in first, Oliver went for the first blow and held Slade down so Peter could go in. Seeing they have an advantage in numbers, Oliver offered Peter that he goes for the blow and he blocked out the attacks from Slade.

Peter takes him down, and Oliver keeps his brother safe.

Peter webbed him in the back, dragging Slade off of Oliver, and gave him an opening to punch him around the roof. Spinning and kicking him, Slade was sent toppling as he tried to fight off the two siblings. They needed to wait a moment as the cure takes time to take effect, and Oliver wasn't gonna survive a frontal attack on it.

"The Mirakuru isn't what made me hate you!" Slade stated as he swung his sword.

But Peter caught the sword with his left hand and swung his right hand, splitting the sword in half like it was nothing. Taking the one half he broke off, he spun it around and embedded it into Slade's shoulder. Slade cried out as Oliver kicked Slade against a pole where Peter quickly shot a web net and left him tied up.

They then saw there was a drone flying past: ARGUS.

"It's too late," Slade stated with pride. "Your city will burn."

Oliver saw there was only one thing they can do and contacted Waller. "Waller, Slade is beaten and his army is down. It's over. Call off the drones. Now!"

The two of them watched in worry about what the drones were going to do. But they sighed in relief when they started to turn away and leave the city in one peace. Well, in the same piece that Slade left it in.

"So...what now, kids?" Slade asks them.

"Yeah...What now?" Peter had to admit that it was a good question.


Peter sighed as he and his friends were finally celebrating the return of the city. It was all being rebuilt after the death and destruction of Slade's destruction. Speaking of Deathstroke, Oliver said he was going to be taking care of Slade for good, no reason to worry.

That gave him a bit of a reason to worry. Thea and Roy seemed to be taking a break from the city, promising to return after everything they need to talk about. Which is understandable. After everything that went down. Sara was still around, but she was trying to mend some bridges between her and her family for now.

"So, what does everything just go back to normal now?" MJ asks as they walked down the street. "Because if so, then can we work on something so that I don't end up the damsel in distress? I gave last time a pass during the Undertaking because dozens of others also died and were in danger. But this time around, the bad guy specifically went for me. I mean, does anyone know where I can find one of the spiders?"

The team had to admit that there was a bit of a specific problem with MJ's kidnapping. All of them now had powers, thanks to the spiders, but MJ was a bit left out.

"Don't worry, I can teach you a few things that Stick taught me," Peter said and got a bit down as he remembered his mentor.

"Hey, you gonna be okay?" Miles asks as they all made it to Big Belly Burger, taking a seat outside.

"Yeah, it's just...weird he's gone. He's been part of my life for only two years but...it's hard to imagine he's not gonna be a part of it anymore." Peter tried to understand it.

"Hey, we're all here for you," Anya commented, offering a smile.

"Thanks, guys." Peter smiled to see his support group.

"So...now that we have a minute..." Anya saw it was finally time to get to a discussion. "Names?"

"Are you still on this?" Miles asked her.

"Come on, it'd been a night." Anya scoffed. "And I have come up with a few...how do we feel about...AraƱita?"

"Spider in Spanish?" MJ asks, getting a look of confusion from the gang. "Come on, I took a year of Spanish. You don't need to look so surprised."

"Sorry." They all apologized.

That's when all of their spider senses went off as people began to cry in fear. Anya wasn't used to the sense and felt a little dizzy when she first felt it and looked around. That's when they turned to see a ginormous drill-like creation come out of the ground and send cars and rubble flying everywhere.

They watched as a giant elevator comes out from the top of it and reveals a smaller overweight man with a stick and glasses, giving the impression he might be blind. His outfit was all bright green whilst he also had a cape that was a darker green.

"Behold! I am Harvey Elder, but you may call me the Mole Man!" He introduces himself to the world through a microphone on the stick he's carrying. "I'm always beneath you, but nothing is beneath me!"

The entire group watched this whole scene unfold with completely confusing looks on their faces as they watched his rant. Miles was staring with his body turned and his hand leaning on the back of the chair with Anya just watching with a raised brow and her mouth crookedly open. Peter mimicked Miles' action as they were facing away from it and MJ just looked confused at what was happening.

"I hereby declare war on peace and happiness!" Mole Man cried out to the world as everyone kept running, emptying the area they were in.

Peter looks just as confused as his friends when he looked over toward Miles who already placed his mask on. He even saw Anya was wearing her makeshift mask with a giant grin on her face and he gave the two of them the same grin.

Time to get back to work.

"Soon all will tremble before me!" Mole Man promises the world while Peter reached down to his button shirt and ripped it open, revealing his Spider-Man suit and he was ready for a fight.


Meanwhile, back at the home of Norman Osborn, he walked back into the secret chamber where he saw his son was starting to wake up. He looked over to the scientist in the room and wished for answers.

"Is it time?" Norman asked him.

"Vitals are good. His circulatory system is healthy." Doctor Michael Morbius confirmed. "Brain activity normal-"

"He's been in there long enough," Norman stated, having enough of the chamber.

"Mr. Osborn, I understand he's your son." Michael tells Norman. "But his disease could-"

"I want him out, Michael," Norman demanded now.

"But we may be underestimating the potential danger of-"

"I said GET HIM OUT! NOW!" Norman demanded him.

Michael then tapped a few buttons, causing the chamber Harry Osborn was in to stop recycling water and begin to drain. What none of them noticed was a small sample of the original Symbiote, the one Peter burned, had finally found the rest of itself.

Norman Osborn kept a small sample of the Symbiote in the safe when Black Cat stole it. The rest of it was being used to keep his son alive. And it was ready to bond with its own kind. Ready to become whole again.

Ready to get its revenge on Spider-Man.


THEY WILL RETURN IN...
