Spider-Man and Pyrrha quickly headed to the location where the cure was being made. "We should alert Yuri. We may need some legal help if Osborn refuses to hand over the formula." Pyrrha told him.
"Good idea." Peter agreed as he called up the Captain. "Yuri. We've got a location on the Devil's Breath antiserum." Spider-Man declared and told her the address.
"Strange. We had reports of a helicopter going down in that area." Yuri noted.
"You don't think that could be Osborn?" Pyrrha asked worriedly.
"I'm certain of it." Peter confirmed as they hurried ahead.
At the site, Martin Li absorbed the powers from one of his Demons, before unleashing a pair of beams from his hands to blast away the guards inside the Oscorp facility. He then stormed ahead while two more demons dragged Osborn along after him, the doors closing behind them with demons guarding the plaza and surrounding perimeter. "We have to do this quick. I doubt Norman has much time left." Pyrrha said.
"Right. Let's do it, partner!" He declared, the two of them quickly making their way around the perimeter, picking off any Demons that happened to be on their own. Pyrrha stuck one to the pole she had perched on. Spider-Man webbed one to a wall. Pyrrha threw her shield to trip a Demon, before freezing him to the ground with an Ice Dust round. Spider-Man fired a couple of trip mines at just the right time and a pair of unlucky demons crossed their line of sight and pulled them in. Pyrrha stood on a lamp posted and reeled one in with her grappling hook attachment as he stood on a balcony, bringing him to the railing and sticking him there with a vial of liquid metal.
Suddenly, the two received a call from Sable. "Spider-Man! Arkos! Leave now! My men will handle the situation." Sable told them.
"Sable?! How'd you find this connection?" Peter asked.
Pyrrha was surprised at first, too, but she managed to recover. "Your agents are not equipped to handle this. Li wiped out every single one of them here. If you send in more men, it's only going to be a slaughter against them. You would be sending more men to die." Pyrrha told her.
"You have been warned, Super Heroes." She snapped with venom in her voice, almost mocking them as she called them heroes, before she hung up.
Spider-Man pulled himself in for a web takedown, knocking out one thug, then blasting the last Demon he saw to a lamp post with an impact web. The two regrouped and admired their work. "Nice and easy. I like it when things go that way." He said.
"Then we'd best hurry before it stops being easy." Pyrrha said, the two heading for the doors, before some sable agents with jetpacks blocked their path.
"Arkos. Spider-Man. We're tired of you harrassing our agents. This ends tonight." One of them declared as he tried to zoom over the heroes, dropping many electric mines on them, but they both leapt out of the way.
"You think we did this!? You have GOT to be kidding me!" Peter complained.
"Do you not see the the scars and burns from demon energy all over the place?!" Pyrrha demanded.
Still, this fell upon deaf ears as the Sable Agents continued to attack them. Spider-Man dodged an attempt to ensnare him in the electric bolas and fired a web shot at the face of the agent on a jetpack who fired the shot, then fired a web line into the agent and reeled himself in, delivering a kick that knocked the man out. He then launched himself at another agent and stunned him with a punch, hitting him with several web shots, then firing a pair of web lines at him and spinning around to knock down several more Sable agents, before flinging him to a wall, where he stuck. The agents who were knocked down started getting back up, but Spider-Man quickly leapt back into the air and spun around rapidly while firing web shots, sticking them all to the floor.
Pyrrha flung her shield to bounce off the heads of two agents side by side, before she landed in between them, extended her spear and crouched while spinning it above her head to hit both of them in the head and knock them out. Another agent rushed at her with a baton to attack her, but she easily disarmed him, slashed him a few times with the tip of her spear, then thrust it between his legs, raising it up to catch him by the crotch and lift him into the air, throwing him over herself. Another agent fired a rocket at her, but she manipulated it to do a U-turn around her and fly directly back at him, blasting him back into a wall and knocking him out. Two more ran at her, one from in front and one from behind, so she turned her spear into its rifle form and fired her grappling hook at the one in front, reeling him in and jumping at the last minute, causing the grappled thug to crash into the agent behind him, where Pyrrha turned and fired a web cartridge at them to bind them together.
Quickly and efficiently, all Sable agents had been dealt with. Peter started to pry the doors apart, but it was clearly taking him some effort. "May I?" Pyrrha asked, using her semblance to pull the doors wide open, until she heard some shots ringing out, stopping what she was doing and drawing her shield while stepping in front of Peter to block all the bullets being fired by Silver Sable herself as she ran at them. She threw a kick at Pyrrha, who blocked it with her shield and forced her back. Sable stumbled, but recovered and drew her guns.
"You harrass my men, destroy my equipment and cost my company millions. Give me one good reason I should not kill both of you." Sable snapped.
"Other than the fact you can't take us both?" Peter questioned, but Pyrrha stopped him.
"Sable, listen. Our methods are different, but the important thing here is that we both want to protect your client. Now Li is about to kill him. There isn't enough time for us to fight each other and still save him. We need to work together. Just this once." Pyrrha told her.
Sable looked in thought for a moment, before nodding, putting her guns away and unlocking the door. "You help me secure Norman. Afterwards, I make no promises." She warned them.
"That's all we could ask for." Pyrrha agreed.
Salem swiped her card and the three prepared to enter the building, but suddenly, a fresh wave of demons appeared and attacked them. "We have no time for this! You two go! I will hold them off!" Sable ordered.
"We can't leave you like this!" Peter said.
"I'll stay with her. You go after Li. You have to end this, Spider-Man." Pyrrha told him. They shared a look, before nodding in understanding, Spider-Man swinging off into the building as Pyrrha joined Sable.

She stood in front of the mercenary with her shield up to defend against a wave of bullets as Sable held her guns out on either side of Pyrrha's head and fired, taking out several demons even with her smaller window of sight. Pyrrha then leaned forward enough for Sable to jump onto her back and leap off, throwing a disk with an electric bolas at one of the demons, before delivering a kick to another as she landed. Pyrrha flung her shield at the one restricted by the bolas, diving forward and extending her spear, swinging wide and knocking down a few more demons. She then thrust it forward, backed up by its rifle mechanism to hit the shield wielded by another demon, staggering him and allowing Pyrrha to knock him down with a kick, before dropping her shield down on him and jumping on it to knock him out.
Sable was powering through the demons, easily countering their attacks and sending them to the floor, where they were met with a swift kick to the head or some bullets to the chest. Luckily, their demon powers saved them from the few bullets he took. A small group of demons with guns took aim at her, but she tossed a grenade at their feet, which exploded and left them all convulsing from the electric discharge. She then rushed in at one of them with a rifle, grabbing it, bringing it up and cracking him in the face with his own weapon, causing him to lose his hold on the weapon, allowing her to take it and smack him in the head with the butt of the rifle, then holding it like a bat and swinging it into another demon's head, delivering a round kick to the next demon in the group, turning and hitting the last one with a rear kick to the groin, doubling him over, before she turned around, grabbed his head and brought it down to where she could bash her knee into it.
Pyrrha rushed in, ducking under a sword swing from one of the demon's and hit him in the gut with her shield, stunning him and allowing her to uppercut him with the shield, then fire a round from her rifle into his face to knock him out. She then changed her rifle into its sword form, then charged towards a demon with a shield and they slammed into each other, but Pyrrha extended the sword into a spear to hit him in the face, grabbing and pulling his shield away and thrusting the spear between his legs, lifting it up and throwing him over her into a couple of demons who were about to attack her from behind, knocking them all down to the ground, where they would stay after she tossed a vial or two of liquid metal onto them.
Our heroine then rushed forward with her shield out in front, blocking an onslaught of bullets from the demons, slamming her shield into one to knock him down, hitting another with the butt and blunt side of her sword before knocking him down with a hit to the head from her shield, grabbing another one by the head, delivering some knees to his stomachs and side kicks to his- well, sides before knocking him out with a round kick to the head. She then extended her sword back into a spear, sweeping at least three demons off their feet with the polearm, which she then changed back into a rifle and fired shock rounds into them to keep them down, before firing the grappling hook at one with a pair of whips, who had been dazed by one of Sable's grenades, pulling him off his feet and reeling him towards her, the whips knocking down several more demons along the way.
Sable and Pyrrha had moved close to each other, but the final group of demons now stood in front of them, all with rifles and rockets. "Together now!" Sable declared, flinging a grenade into the middle of the group and shooting it, shocking them all, before Pyrrha fired a suspension matrix and caused all of them to float into the air. She then loaded her rifle full of webbing rounds, which she'd used to bind a number of the demons together, until they'd basically been amassed into a big ball of goons and webbing, before sable retrieved one of the rocket launchers with one of the fallen whips and fired into the ball, exploding it and sending the unconscious demons flying everywhere, the evil influence saving them from any serious injury.

The two women warriors observed their surroundings to confirm if any and all demonic threats had been dealt with. Once they were certain that all the threats had been dealt with, they turned to each other. "Nice work." Pyrrha told her.
"To you as well. You would make a valuable agent." Sable offered.
"I'm sorry, but no. Your methods are simply too brutal for my tastes." Pyrrha declined.
"I suppose it cannot be helped. But the Spider can be." Silver stated, going back to the card reader and flashing her badge again to open the doors.
Suddenly, they heard a great commotion on the roof of the building a small distance away. And if Pyrrha looked closely, she saw a brief flash of Octavius' tentacles. Pyrrha gasped at this. "Hurry! You go in and evacuate anyone still in there. I'll go after him!" Pyrrha told her. Sable nodded and rushed through the door as Pyrrha flew up to the roof. When she reached it, she found Doctor Octavius had already torn through much of the building and was surely in the lower levels now, very close to Peter, Li and most importantly, Norman and the antiserum. She quickly followed through the wreckage and emerged in time to see that Otto had knocked Li away into a wall.
Spider-Man managed to grab the cure and tried to swing away, but Otto grabbed him with a tentacle, slamming him down to the ground and pinning his wrist down, forcing it to open and reveal the antiserum. But as he reached another tentacle out for it, Peter fired a web line into his face, stunning him and allowing him to pry the arm off. He then noticed Pyrrha and tossed the cure to her. "Arkos! The antiserum! Hurry!" Peter cried out.
Pyrrha quickly noticed that the lid was metal and controlled it to bring the bottle to her hand safely. She looked for a moment, wanting to help Peter, but she had to believe that he could handle this and getting the cure to those who needed it took precedence. So she nodded and quickly flew away. "No! You will not stop my plans!" Otto snapped, trying to go after her, but Peter webbed down his bottom two tentacles and fired web lines at the top, two pulling them back.
"Otto, stop!" Peter cried out, pulling back with all his might. However, Otto growled and ripped his bottom left tentacle free, swinging it back and knocking Peter away. He looked back at where Pyrrha had gone and realized there was likely no way he'd catch the heroine. He shouted in anger at this and shot a tentacle at Peter's leg, grabbing it and slamming him into the walls, before grabbing his back and his head with two tentacles and slamming him down for a big finish.
"I gave you every warning. Every chance to just walk away. But you wouldn't. This is on you... Parker." He declared, before raising three of his tentacles with their fingers closed, looking like razor-sharp beaks ready to pierce the spider.
However, before he could bring himself to do it, he heard another voice which made him equally furious. "Otto?" Norman asked, shocked to see his old friend and colleague doing something so horrible.
Otto looked to his former friend, the cause of all his anger, pain and suffering and decided to ignore him for more important targets. "You have no idea how satisfying the look on your face is." He said as he coiled Norman up in one of his tentacles. "I was hoping to have the antiserum when I did this, but I suppose I don't need it. I just need you to tell the world that you're the monster I know you are." He declared, taking him out through the hole he had made earlier.
Sable, a trio of agents and Dr. Morgan Michaels all quickly ran in, rushing to the downed hero's side. "Spider-Man!" Sable called out.
"Where's the antiserum?" Michaels asked worriedly.
"Arkos has it..." He explained.
"We need to get you to a hospital." Michaels told him.
"No. No hospital. F.E.A.S.T. Arkos is there." He informed them as they helped him up and carried them as much as they could, although they were still making him do an unhealthy amount of the work.
Pyrrha soon arrived at F.E.A.S.T and handed the cure for Devil's Breath to the resident doctor, then hurried back to the door to help Peter fight his old mentor. However, as soon as she reached the door, she spotted Dr. Michaels and Sable bringing in a horribly beaten and bruised Spider-Man. "No... What happened?!" She asked worriedly.
"Octavius was too much for him. We're lucky he's even alive right now. He only stopped when Norman revealed himself and Octavius chose to go for him instead. Octavius took him. But we have no idea where. My men have been unable to track or follow him. Personally, I do not believe we will see Osborn alive again." Sable explained.
"Octavius. He did this to his best fried and close student. How could he stoop so low?" She wondered, before following them to where they laid down Peter. "What can I do to help?" She asked.
Suddenly, the TV came on. "Holy crap! It's that Octopus guy at Oscorp! And he's got the mayor! I think he's gonna drop him off the roof!" One of the residents of the Shelter declared as they all gathered to watch the spectacle.
"He does not need your help here. There are doctors to help him. The one who needs your help now is Norman." Sable told her.
"You're right. Someone has to finally put a stop to this." Pyrrha said.
"Arkos..." Spider-Man called out for her. Pyrrha quickly hurried over to him as everyone gave them some space. "Please... I know it seems like he's gone too far. But you've been responsible for some miracles since you've been here. So please... Save Otto..." He pleaded, before he passed out.
"I promise. I'll do everything I can for him, Spider-Man." She told him, before running out of the building and flying towards Oscorp.
At the top of the Oscorp tower, Otto was getting annoyed and furious that Osborn wouldn't admit his atrocities and continued to taunt the scientist. He'd even lifted the mayor as high as he could and dropped him, letting him fall as far as possible before he caught him and brought him back up. "I'm giving you one final chance, Norman!" Otto snapped, sinking two of the fingers of one of the arms into the leg he was currently being held from, causing him to cry out in pain. "You're going to tell them all the truth, or you're going to die!" He snapped. He was gonna kill him anyway obviously, but he'd ruin him first.
"What does it matter now, Otto!? Because now you're the one that released Devil's Breath! And you let out a bunch of freaks to destroy the city! And you expected people to praise you for it! You tried to tear me down, but you've only proven how much of a fool you've always been!" Osborn countered.
Otto grew furious at this and finally had enough. "NO!" He declared, flinging the mayor off of the roof.
Norman screamed he hurtled towards the ground, before Milo suddenly flew from nowhere, catching the collar of the Mayor's shirt and sending him flying to a building across from Oscorp, pinning him to the part of the building that lets people access the roof. With him now safe, Pyrrha recalled Milo as she landed on the roof of Oscorp, a safe distance from Otto's tentacles. Norman smiled at this, before opening the roof entrance door and quickly escaping inside the building. "Doctor Octavius! This needs to stop now!" Pyrrha told him.
"It was almost about to stop! I was finished with him! It could've all been over if you hadn't saved that worthless waste of space!" He snapped.
"You've already ruined him! It's like he told you, there isn't any way people see him as the villain! Just like they'll never see you as the hero! If you kill him now, you'll just make him the hero you know he isn't! Work with us! You can make sure he pays the RIGHT way!" Pyrrha told him.
"I will, as soon as I find him and rip him limb from limb! The same thing I'll do to you if you don't get out of my way now!" He told her.
"Then you'll have to try your best." She declared, taking her stance.
"I gave you all the same warnings I gave Parker. That didn't stop him. And clearly it won't stop you, either. Then you'll suffer the same fate as him." Otto declared, sending his upper two tentacles after her.

Pyrrha deflected one of the tentacles with her sword, before dodging the second one by stepping forward and spinning into the step almost like a ballet dancer, avoiding the tentacle and building up some momentum as she flung her shield, hitting Otto in the chest and would've caused him to fall onto his back if it hadn't been for his upper tentacles, which bent backwards and caught him. He then leaned upward and glared at Pyrrha as she rushed in at him. He sent his lower left tentacle at her, but she leapt up into the air just as it made a grab for her. She aimed to throw her shield down at him once more, but he shot his upper right tentacle at her, catching her by the arm and throwing her down at the roof. However, she managed to get her arms out in front, catching herself and allowing her to roll out into a Black Widow-like pose.
Pyrrha then shifted her weapon into its rifle form and fired repeatedly at the scientist. Otto again shot his upper tentacles at her, but this time she used her semblance in her normal way, shifting them ever so slightly so they just missed her, clamping down on the ground on either side of her. The next two rounds in her rifle were gravity rounds, which she fired behind her to launch herself towards the mad genius, flying in at insanely high speeds, faster than the tentacles could chase her, at which point she slammed into Otto's chest with her shield, twisting in the air and slamming both feet down on him, causing him to crash down onto the roof, before firing downwards, causing her to come crashing down on the mad scientist once again.
"Enough of this!" He snapped, his lower tentacles rising up, grabbing her by her legs and throwing her back into the giant antenna in the middle of the roof, before flinging her back into one of the ventilation units. "This is my destiny! I won't let you stand in the way!" He snapped as he leapt onto the antenna, before activating the switch that SOMEHOW superheated the entire roof. Pyrrha felt it from there: while she was safe on the ventilation system, if she stepped onto the roof itself, even through the armor, she'd be cooked alive.
She then glared back up at the doctor. In a way, she saw a dark reflection of herself. She once believed in a destiny, a goal she set for herself and would work for throughout her entire life and would do anything achieve it, no matter the cost. And that destiny nearly led her to possibly losing herself and becoming a totally different person and did lead her to her demise at Cinder's hands. And now the Doctor was doing just that, trying to reach his destiny and accomplish a goal, but one that would lead to the loss of countless lives: all those who had fallen to the Ryker's fugitives and Devil's Breath and all the others who would still fall if Otto wasn't stopped, like the police and Sable who would no doubt protect the mayor. "The thing about destiny is, sometimes you have to know when you're following the wrong one." She told him. She then manipulated the bars of the antenna, breaking and bending them to wrap around Otto's tentacles to trap them, allowing Pyrrha to fly towards him and grab onto him, landing several punches and kicks to his face and torso. She then grabbed his head and reached behind for his neck, pulling off the neural interface.
"Shut up!" Otto snapped, finally freeing his tentacles and grabbing Pyrrha's arms, crushing her magnetic gauntlets. Pyrrha was shocked at this, before she realized Otto had placed some form of covering to protect the device. She'd need to get another chance to grab and rip off the device itself. But it was becoming clear that was much easier said than done. "You're only a child! You can't possibly understand how much I suffered!" He snapped, flinging her down into one of the gas tanks on the rooftop, causing it to explode.
Pyrrha recovered and looked around. The visor of her armor was shattered, all of her displays were failing or flickering erratically and were effectively useless. And finally, through the spider web of cracks in her visor, she saw her aura had broken and faded away. She was now at her most vulnerable. And to make matters worse, if she wanted to be able to see, she'd have to take her helmet off. She took off her head protection, tossing it to the side as Otto lowered himself. "How could you do all this!? Do you not care what Peter thinks of all this?! You devastated him! You and your ideals were everything to him and you not only betrayed all of that, but you beat him half to death!" She snapped.
She then shocked herself at this. She'd basically done the same to Jaune. He poured his heart out to her, how she was the only one who believed in him and she's the only reason he got anywhere. Yet when it really counted, she threw all of his feelings away to go face Cinder on her own. She was entirely to much like the doctor. How could she stop him if she herself was just like him? No. She'd changed. She had learned a greater patience and deeper way of thinking from this journey. She saw the error of her ways. And if she ever got back to Remnant, she would show Jaune that he was everything to her and strive to be everything he needed her to be. Now it was time to show Otto the error of his ways.
"I warned him at every opportunity. He continued to stand against me. It was his own doing. I let him off easy. But after I crush you, I'll rip him apart so no one can stand against me!" He snapped. He shot his lower left tentacle at her, but she sidestepped it and stomped on it as it hit the ground beside her, before swinging her arm and shield forward, the razor edge of her defense still easily severing the tentacle. He then shot his upper right tentacle at her, grabbing the shield and attempting to rip it away, but she brought up her sword and stabbed the tentacle with it, already disabling it, but for good measure, she sliced it off as well. "Foolish girl! What makes you think you know better than me!? I'm trying to change the world! And to do that, you have to make the hardest of decisions!" He snapped, sending his lower right tentacle at her, but she tossed her sword into the air after hitting the button to change its form once again, turning itself into a spear and driving the point down to pierce the tentacle into the roof.
Pyrrha then jumped onto the tentacle and climbed her way up, reaching Octavius' back in seconds, as he was forced to hang onto the antenna with he other remaining tentacle. "I've made all the same choices you have. And they were the wrong ones!" She told him, grabbing the interface and finally ripping it off, causing them both to fall to the rooftop below.

Otto laid defeated and broken on the ground. Pyrrha looked down at him in pity, before looking to the neural interface in her hand and crushing it. It had been the true cause of the problem, not Otto himself. He was just a poor man trying to be able to continue to move his body. She then gasped as she remembered something. She had heard in extreme cases aura had even been able to heal damage to the brain and severe poisonings, which from what Peter had explained, it sounded like Otto's condition was brought on by some kind of metal poisoning. Meaning, unlocking Otto's aura might just be the ticket to saving him altogether! [1]
"You foolish girl. I was trying to help the people. To get rid of the plague that is Osborn! You've ruined everything." Otto told her.
"You did that yourself, Doctor Octavius. But, I can still help you. I can offer you one more chance." Pyrrha told him.
"One more chance to do what? To toil away as some fool, slowly but surely unable to move his body!?" He demanded.
"To be the man you once were. The man who wanted to help people. The man Peter looked up to. I can unlock your aura. It could heal you. It will take a while. And it won't be pleasant, but it can fix the damage the neural interface has done to your mind and even fix your neurological disorder. You'd be as good as you ever were. You'll still have to serve your sentence, but you'll be yourself again. The man who wanted to change the world for the better. And a man who can move all on his own, who doesn't need any strange robotic arms to do so." Pyrrha told him.
Otto was shocked at this. For the first time in a long time, he had genuine hope again. And she'd do this for him even after all the destruction and pain he'd caused. "You'd do that for me?" He asked.
"I'd do it for Peter. Because I know if he were in that position, he'd help you no matter what the cost. So out of respect for him, I will, too." She said, walking up and unlocking his aura as she'd promised. "This is all I can do for you, Doctor. The rest you'll have to manage for yourself." Pyrrha said as she limped away.
"Thank you..." Otto said weakly, before finally passing out.
The next day, the antiserum had been mass produced and people all over New York were getting the treatment they needed. The number of cases of Devil's Breath was freefalling and most of the Ryker's escapees, as well as the supervillains, had all been apprehended. Arkos and Spider-Man stood on a rooftop across from F.E.A.S.T as they watched the people getting their much-needed doses of the antiserum, including May. "I can't thank you enough for this, Pyrrha. Without you, I don't know how worse this could have gotten. We could've lost everything. I could've lost May." Peter said. She had been bedridden shortly after Peter had been brought in from his beating from Otto. The doctors had been amazed at how well she had been fighting off the virus at her age, but Peter knew the reason why.
"It's the least I could do. I wanted to help people. To save the world. I wasn't able to do that in my old world, so I knew I had to save this one. It was my duty as a Huntress. Even if I never truly became one." Pyrrha told him.
"Hey, if it were up to me, I'd name you the greatest Huntress in any world. Speaking of, I think we I may have finally found a way to help you. There's a hero in our world, Doctor Strange. He's known as the Sorcerer Supreme and he can... Well honestly, it would be quicker to list the things he CAN'T do, but one of the things he CAN do is travel to different dimensions. He might be able to get you home." Peter told her.
Pyrrha was shocked at this. In all honesty, the idea of going home hadn't crossed her mind since Otto's master plan had been put into action. But now, not only was it back in her mind, but the idea had now become a potential reality. "I could go home? See all my friends again? Ruby, Nora, Ren and... Jaune." She realized.
"It may take a while. They guy's almost always on a mission, but one of these days he's gonna have a free day. And when that time comes, that day will be all yours, Pyrrha. And you will be able to go back and see your friends again. I'll do everything in my power to make it happen." Peter told her.
"Thank you, Peter!" Pyrrha said as the two hugged each other close. They'd only known each other for a few weeks, but neither one could deny, even if they would be worlds apart again some day, they'd be friends for life.
Meanwhile, in Norman Osborn's penthouse, he made his way to the secret door he had behind the painting of himself and Harry. He input the code and opened the door, entering the secret lab that was housed within. He then made his way to the left of the room and stood in front of some large, strange unit. The unit slowly opened up to reveal that it was a tank full of green liquid in which a human body was floating, that body being none other than Peter and MJ's dear friend and Norman's beloved son, Harry Osborn, being kept in some form of suspended animation within the tank, the juices presumably keeping him alive from whatever sickness ailed him.
Norman approached the tank as he spoke. "We were so close... But I'll keep trying. We may be closer than ever to a cure, Harry. Peter's got a new little friend. And all the people she's interacted with seem to have become incredible because of her. So just imagine what she could do for you." He told his son as he looked through some information he had gathered on Pyrrha and the people she'd affected, like Mary Jane being able to stun Sable agents with a blast of light or the frail and elderly May Parker surviving the defective GR-27 long enough for the antiserum to be mass produced. Even Otto was starting to show that his neurological disorder was no longer worsening. If he could get Pyrrha to do to his son whatever she'd done to them, he could only imagine that not only would Harry be cured, but he'd be better than ever. "I love you, son." He said, putting his hand to the tank, lowering his head and closing his eyes, while a strange black web shot from his son to where his hand was.
A/N: There you go, everyone! I hope you enjoyed it! I'm going to take a bit of a break on this story now to figure out how exactly I want to handle the events of the DLC routes in this game and the Miles Morales sequels, as well as catch up on some other stories I'd been neglecting because of this one, but don't worry, there's still quite a bit more to come.
