Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
Galabrax: It'll be a few, this arc that deals with the introduction of Gotham and Gotham Girl, and two original ones with a few chapters to act as 'downtimes' in between before the universes connect. Some of Spider-man's villains will be shown reacting to his death in the next chapter and a few future ones. Spider-man will meet Superman's family soon, in the next arc in fact
Ric885: What they discovered will be revealed soon and it's not just one thing, it's several things
gunman: Yeah and Two Face won't be the only villain of Bat's that Peter will annoy the hell out of. The Joker will take an interest in Spider-man when they meet, partly because of his talkative nature and the fact that Batman is 'allowing' him to operate in his city and because he sees a new hero to screw with, poor Joker has no idea that he'll have to really up his game if he wants to get under Peter's skin because the guy has experienced just about everything a hero can at the hands of a villain in comic books. Yes, we will see more of Gotham Girl and Gotham and they will be interacting more with Spider-man considering that he'll actually try to get to know them in person then the whole cloak and dagger thing Bruce does
spiderman1fan: I'm saving the Joker for later because a guy like him can't be taken out by Spider-man that easily, even though he technically could because he' still a regular homicidally insane human, or that early on in a story like this, gotta make it meaningful. Jameson's reaction to Spider-man's death is next chapter and it'll be interesting and he'll also discover that Peter and Spider-man were the same which will be even more interesting. Yeah what the girls found will change everyone's opinion on Stark and not for the better. The first-time Spider-man returns to the Marvel landscape he won't have his daughter but the second time he will and May and MJ will be in for helluva surprise when it happens MJ in particular. Peter will be around a 5 on a scale of one to ten on how angry he'll to be honest because at this point in time Peter won't be too surprised, but that rage will jump to a 20 when he finds out what it was the Marvel women uncovered, the Justice League, Diana in particular, on the other hand will be at a 9 when they discover Stark more or less left Peter to fend for himself and will be at like a 20 with Peter when they also find out what it was that Stark was hiding. There will be some clashes between the Justice League and the current lineup of Avengers when they meet but not full open super hero team wars and yeah Amadeus Cho and Superman fighting will be one of them. That sounds like a good story, Peter can even learn his way of the Spider while he was out in the world
Harbinger of Kaos: I know it's not her fault she became a villain, a rather poor one. Poor because of how she became one in the first place, if they were going to make Black Cat evil, they could have done a better job at it and make it seem more plausible
cabrera1234: Some of Spider-man's villains will be shown reacting to his 'death' and you are right some will be over the moon that he's gone, some not so much, mainly because they weren't the ones to do him in
Karlos1234ify: Oh yeah Peter will have all kinds of jokes, quips and comments about Catwoman and Batman's old relationship when he finds out about it, poor Batman will be really tempted to break his no killing rule when they start XD
turtlefan16: Because it's been stated she's like twenty-one plus she's going to college so hey early twenties at the very least, don't want her to be too young for Spider-man
justafan: Reed will eventually discover that Spider-man is still alive thanks to in large part his son and daughter, Doctor Strange and even Doctor Doom, the last one will be a very bitter pill for him to swallow
LL: Yeah Spider-man will be going on about his relationship with his own cat themed thief all the while starting a relationship with Catwoman ironically enough while Batman will be close to tearing his hair out through it all. Poison Ivy will be the next major baddy that Spider-man tango's with and the puns and jokes he has for the red head will be funny
chucky700: No it isn't, the Marvel earth Hulk is from in the World breaker Story is from a Earth that's a combination of the MCU and Marvel 616
The Epicgasmer: No I won't be introducing an OC and it's not Vandal or Ra's that Peter has to find and take down, but they are an alternate version of a comic book character that I think will be perfect for this story
Also here's the Harem list for Spider-man and the pairings for Superman and Batman if you all forgot at this point, I know I almost did and I've added one more person to Peter's harem and. These are final, no more changing!
Spider-man: Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Black Canary, Black Widow, Catwoman, Spider-woman, Madam Web, Scarlet Witch, Jean Grey, Huntress and Batgirl
Batman: Talia al Ghul and Andrea Beaumont
Superman: Lois Lane and Power Girl

It was almost two days later that Peter found himself in the monitor room of the Justice League with a pout on his face
"I don't waaaaaaaaant Metropolis…. I want Gotham!" Peter grumbled as he crossed his arms like a child
Before him was Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg and Flash. Aquaman was busy chasing down a group of radical Atlantians and the two Green Lanterns had just left this morning to drop Doomsday off at his prison planet…that he'll escape from eventually…because according to Superman 'He's Doomsday, don't try to figure how he will, because he will. Just be ready for when he comes back and stock up on a lot of pain killers'
Wonder Woman gave him a look of mock hurt "Oh? You don't want to help me defend London instead?"
Peter's eyes narrowed in interest at that "Hmm very tempting, I mean really tempting…but I'm afraid I have to regrettably turn you down Diana. After all I swore to annoy Batman to the ends of the Earth and I won't be able to affectively do that from an ocean away. Also, how can I think up things to make him batty when I'm distracted by your beauty and elegance?"
"I'm sure you'll find a way, better yet I can even help you…" Diana said with a coy grin as she leaned in and tapped Peter's nose with her finger
"Hmm, London is starting to sound very appealing now" Peter said with a grin
"Look Peter, Batman was willing to put up with you the other night because you helped him advert a horrible disaster and stop one of his rouges from causing any trouble, but that's already too far for him and he won't stand for another 'cape' being in his city especially now with the city's newest heroes Gotham and Gotham Girl on the scene" Superman explained
"Well good thing I don't wear a cape" Peter said as he tapped his back before suddenly his suit created one that looked vaguely similar to Batman's "Not helping suit!"
The cape quickly retracted back into the armor as Flash spoke
"It's not just that Spider-man, it's also kind of a pride thing that he doesn't let other heroes in his city"
"Yeah? Well where I come from, New York City is the super hero capital of the world…which is odd considering it's usually me alone that ends up saving it half the time while everyone else is 'busy'" Peter said the last part a little bitterly
Diana frowned at that, while Peter has never out right said it in their lengthy talks about his home, it was clear that more often than not he's had to deal with the issues and threats facing his home and on one occasions his and three other universes alone as they were often seen as 'small time' compared to the larger threats like Doctor Doom, HYDRA, AIM, Thanos, and Loki on top of his own foes occasionally that have branched out to world domination…or destruction
It was then that Peter snapped his fingers in inspiration "Wait I got it!"
"Got what?" Flash questioned
"Well I just realized that old Batsy and his little army of sidekicks usually operates at night, right?" Peter asked
"Yes…" Superman said with a grin starting to form on his face, he can see where Peter was going with this, Diana too if th grin she was starting to form was anything to go by
"Well last time I checked criminals don't care about the time they do the crime, only that it's getting done" Peter said as he stood up "Plus the guy did kind of save me from certain death so hey, I feel like I should help him out. It's the least I can do"
"...I'm sure he'll be thrilled to hear that" Diana said with an amused smile
"Oh he will and if not then by golly I'll make him thrilled!" Peter said as he slammed his hand into his palm
"You know he's probably going to fight you, right?" Cyborg said with a quirked brow "Batman really hates it when other heroes operate in his city and ignore his demands for them to leave"
"Yeah well considering all the things I've gone up against in my life time, and as arrogant as this will sound, and trust me it does sound like I'm developing a god complex or something with what I'm about to say, but Batman doesn't really scream extreme danger on my radar. If anything, he's that annoying little blip that bugs you to no end. Sides from what I've gathered from his admittedly much more impressive history compared to mine, aside from dressing up like Dracula he won't kill me, so hey what can he honestly do aside from challenge me to an epic hero fight and cause me to somehow lose my powers…again" Peter said the last part a bit more quietly as he began to make his way to the teleporter before stopping and turning back towards the group "Wait what time is it in Gotham?"
"It's midnight" Diana said before she slowly approached Peter with a smirk "But it's daytime in London and I was hoping you can help me with something, I'll even tell you a few things that can help you…annoy Batman"
Peter eyed her for a moment before he shrugged "Sure, I'd be insane to turn down a request from someone as beautiful and as awesome as you!"
Diana smiled as she slipped her arm into Peter's and the duo made their way to the teleporter with the destination being London instead of Gotham.
The remaining three heroes watched them go before Cyborg spoke up with a thoughtful look on his face
"It's nice to see her smiling and acting like herself again" the cybernetic man said
"What do you mean? I've seen her smile plenty of times" Flash said with confusion
"A happy smile Flash, one with actual life and joy in it" Superman said with a small smile of his own as he watched the duo beam down to the surface "And Peter seems happier when she's around too…"
…
Marvel Universe…New York City
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT!" the voice of Felicia Hardy aka the Black Cat screamed in rage as she paced back and forth in her hideout while several of her men watched on nervously
She then turned towards them with a glare that caused one of them to actually faint "I finally came up with the perfect plan to hurt that asshole and what does he do? He goes and gets himself killed by the Hulk's ugly sister!"
It was then that one of the men stupidly decided to speak up "But he's dead, isn't that what you wanted-"
He didn't get to finish the sentence as Black Cat turned and heeled kicked him away and into the wall
"I wanted to be the one to finally do that fuckin boy scout in!" Cat roared in rage before turning to the rest "GET OUT NOW!"
The men nodded. Pale with fear and quickly ran from the room, stopping briefly to gather their dazed comrades. Felicia watched them go with a glare before turning and kicking her desk into the wall with a roar of rage
She then collapsed on to the ground and held her head "That fuckin prick...that fuckin prick…"
She began to sway back and forth slightly, with tears starting to form in her eyes as she continued to mumble to herself
"After everything he did to me…for me…he had to go and fuckin die!" she shouted and as tears began to pour down her face
While she was truthful in that she wanted Peter, Ock or whoever the hell he was at the time to pay for betraying and hurting her, she never actually wanted to kill him. Hurt him yeah, humiliate him and make his life hell on earth…but never actually kill him. Sure, she talked big but despite all that she could still never bring herself to actually go through with it, mainly because she was aware of what a few women in the forms of Captain Marvel, Black Widow and even the Scarlet Witch would do to her, and this wasn't counting the legion of other friends he's made over his career as a hero
But even then, at the heart of it all…she still loved that wall crawling bastard and she doubts she'll ever really stop no matter how hard she tries. He was the only one that ever saw the genuine good and her and while it did get annoying with him trying to have her change her ways and become a hero, he was only doing it because he really believed she could do more, be more than some extremely hot kick ass thief
She wiped several of her tears away as she glared at her reflection in several broken shards of glass
"Look at you…still crying over him like some damn love struck tween"
"Oh I wouldn't say that, you much prettier than those tramps, nicer ass too" a dark voice chuckled behind her
Felicia 's eyes widened as she turned to see a man clad in red and black with dark malevolent eyes gazing into her very soul
"W-Who are you" Felicia stuttered out as she quickly backed away from the unknown individual, every instinct in her was telling her to get away from this thing and she's long since learned to trust her instincts
The man chuckled darkly "The name's…bah who cares at the moment, you see Miss Hardy, I'm here to offer you a deal of the life time"
The platinum blonde stared at the man warily "What kind of deal? I doubt you have anything that I want!"
"Hmm true, but do this for me my dear and I will ensure your reunited with the love of your life Miss Hardy…Peter Parker" Mephisto smiled darkly at the woman "All you have to do is help me with a little errand that's right up your alley…"
…
Peter let out a yawn as he appeared on a random rooftop in Gotham at around six in the afternoon, the sun was starting to set and if Peter looked hard enough he could start to make out a few stars in the red, orange and yellow sky.
As it turns out, that thing that Diana needed help with was a bunch of Harpies trying to set up a nest in the Tower of London. Sadly, the old crones weren't prepared for the greatest team up of all time, Spider-man and Wonder Woman!
"Though come to think of it, those bird ladies weren't much of an epic villain worthy of that kind of team up" Peter mused as he leaped into the air and began to swing through the buildings at a leisure pace "I'm starting to think that was her idea of a date"
Not that he was complaining, because it was defiantly one of the best outings with a woman he's had in a long time.
It was then that Peter heard a distant boom, coming from Gotham's cheap imitation of the Statue of Liberty, at least he thinks it is. He dropped on to a building and used his suit to zoom in and say Gotham and Gotham Girl fighting what looked like a undead Hulk
And it looked like they weren't really winning the fight, case in point he saw Gotham get slammed into the statue by the large brute of a zombie that his suit identified as Solomon Grundy
Peter cracked his neck "Whelp, it's been a while since I've faced a zombie"
He then shot off towards the fight with his suit's rockets and had his web shooters switch to his more dangerous web formulas, acid. Peter narrowed his eyes as he saw Gotham Girl swoop in to help Gotham only to get back handed away only for Gotham to deliver a powerful punch into the immortal giant
Grundy glared at Gotham before he punched the man right into the statue with enough force to knock the top half off and have it start to fall towards the ground
"Uh oh" Peter said as he picked up the speed and get under the approaching stone landmark and catch along with Gotham Girl who shot the web slinger a surprised look
"Hey, lovely day eh?" Peter asked with a chuckle as Gotham Girl helped him place the statue's top half back on carefully
"Thanks for the help Spider-man" Gotham Girl gave him a thankful smile
"Anytime!" Peter said as he began to cover the fractures and cracks in his long-lasting web formula until it can be properly repaired. He looked to see Gotham chasing down Grundy who looked like he was trying to escape
"I retract my previous statement that this guy was like the Hulk" Peter said as he and Gotham Girl flew off to possibly aid Gotham
"What?" Gotham Girl asked with confusion "What's a Hulk?"
"Someone you never want to fight, let alone piss off unless you don't mind getting sucker punched into Jupiter's orbit" Peter said with a smirk as he shot off ahead of the girl and was quickly gaining ground between him, Gotham and Grundy.
Peter held in a chuckle as he blasted past a slightly startled Gotham and was about to tackle Grundy to the ground when he saw small cloud of smoke appear before Grundy and a familiar bat themed vigilante appeared "Heeeey it's not night time, why's he out so early! Also this is my baddy!"
Peter watched as Batman crouched low and waited until the towering behemoth was close before ducking under him and using the large zombie's own momentum to flip him over his shoulders and into the ground
"Show off" Peter mumbled as he landed behind Batman as he slammed his foot on to the larger being's throat
"Feel it Grundy" Batman growled out as he glared down at Grundy "Feel how much it hurts. And remember if you get up…it'll hurt a lot more"
"How's that? He's already dead" Peter said with confusion as he crouched down next to Grundy and snapped his fingers in front of the now passed out zombie "Also can someone whose already dead really pass out?"
Gotham quietly landed next to the two men and gave Batman a look of thanks "Batman, Thank you!"
The dark knight didn't turn to the man when he spoke "You were letting him get too far away"
Gotham seemed taken back by this "Excuse me? I don't understand…"
"Wow, I know who I'm going to when I want some praise for my actions" Peter said dryly before he looked around and saw a man a few meters ahead, homeless and looked like he was drunker than Wolverine the few time's his healing factor couldn't keep up with the sheer amount of liquor he drank "…Oh now I see…I still hold to that previous petty statement I made by the way"
Batman nodded towards the man as he pulled out his grappling hook and shot it off towards the approaching train "From when I interrupted, you would've caught Grundy in one point three seconds, Spider-man in point seventy-two seconds. He would have trampled that man in point seven seconds"
It was then that Gotham saw the homeless man up ahead of them and realized just how close that man was to being possibly killed.
Peter watched Gotham launch off after Batman as Gotham Girl came to land next to Spider-man "What do we do about Grundy?"
Spider-man shrugged "Take him off to jail I guess or the closest cemetery…where do you take an undead zombie anyway?"
Gotham Girl's response was a shrug as she watched spider-man restrain the large zombie in what looked like webbing before shooting off towards the city while Gotham was retruning to her with a thoughtful expression on his face
…
It didn't take long for Spider-man to catch up to Batman who had since bailed off the train and was now approaching a wicked looking armored car tank thing that made Peter's old Spider mobile look like and even bigger joke then it already was
"You could have been nicer to him you know" Peter said as he landed in front of the man on the hood of his car
Batman glared at Spider-man "They were reckless, they were starting to lose control of the fight"
"They're new, they've been heroes for like what a few days? Besides I'm sure you've made your fair share of mistakes in your early days"
"Did you?" Batman growled
"Yep, lots of them" Peter said with a nod "Hell I'm used as an example of what not to do as a hero by the instructors at both the Avengers Academy and Jean Grey's School for higher learning"
"You must be so proud" Batman said before glairng at Spider-man "Now get the hell off my car!"
"What's the magic world" Peter asked with a sing song voice
His response was a small turret popping out and aiming at Peter with a small laser pointer centering on his chest which caused his spider-sense to tingle slightly
"Oh fine, you big meanie" Peter said as he hopped off and watched the cock pit recede as Batman got in "By the way, why are you out in daytime? Doesn't the sun normally cause you to combust into flames?"
"Why are you in Gotham?" Batman growled out
"I'm not in Gotham, as good looking as the guy might be, I'm afraid my tastes focus more on women" Peter snickered
Batman's grip on his wheel tightened as he glared at Spider-man "I want you out of my city!"
The canopy slammed shut and not a second sooner the Batmobile sped off, leaving Spider-man to watch him go with a blank look under his mask before it broke into a grin
"Fine, I'll leave Gotham…but you never specified when"
…
It was an hour later that Peter was once again swinging through Gotham City's skyline while whistling a cheery tune
"Spider-man, Spider-man, does whatever a spider can. Spins a web-" he was interrupted by the sound of gunfire nearby, causing him to quickly change direction and begin to speed towards what was either a robbery gone wrong like the last five he's encountered or another gang war that he just broke up not even ten minutes ago
"Something tells me this place won't be winning any safest city in America awards any time soon. Fisk would be right at home here" Peter quipped as he landed on a water tower and looked down to see something that caused him to question if his eye sight needed to be checked
There on a roof top was a woman with one helluva body, clad in a black leather looking suit that had two small points on her head that looked like cat ears fighting several thugs with a whip. It didn't take long for his suit to identify the woman, Catwoman, who's occupation was a jewel thief
"Oh my god…he actually has one…he has his own sexy cat thief!" Peter said in shock before he leaped down towards the fight and landed next to the woman in a crouch, startling her and everyone else "Hey guys, mind if I join the party? I have my invitation on me somewhere"
"Waste him!" one of the thugs yelled as he aimed his machine gun at Peter who snorted as he shot towards the man and rammed his knee right into his face and sent him flying several meters
The other thugs tried to react but Catwoman leaped on to one man and wrapped her thighs around his neck and grabbed the other in a head lock before using her momentum and physical strength to flip both men on to the ground and continue squeezing until they both lost consciousness. The final man tried to take a shot at the distracted feline only for Spider-man to grab his shoulder and lift him over his head and throw him to the ground before covering him in a thick blanket of webbing
"Rude, didn't your mother ever teach you it's impolite to try and shoot a lady while she's kicking the crap out of your criminal friends!" Peter said as he turned to see Catwoman stand up and brush some dirt of her shoulder before flashing him a smile
"Thanks for the save" she purred as she took in the form of Spider-man 'Hello momma who's this?'
"No problem" Peter said with a shrug as he scanned the woman's body carefully
Catrwoman saw this and settled into a pose and smirked "See something you like handsome?"
"Yes" Peter nodded "But I'm more focused on seeing if you stole anything"
"Oh what do you think I stole?" Catwoman teased
"My heart!" Peter quipped which earned a chuckle from Catwoman "But no seriously, did you steal anything? Gems, money, art or are you one of those gals that steals information and then sells it"
Catwoman shook her head as she stretched her arms over her head "No I haven't taken anything, I just happened to stumble across these guys trying to break into this place and thought I'd save Batman the headache and take care of them for him"
"Aww how thoughtful you" Peter said with a chuckle "Wish he'd apricate my contribution to helping this place. All he does is growl, grunt and tell me to leave after doing the first two for a few minutes…that sounded better in my head"
"Giving you that whole you're not welcome here, this is my city and I don't need any help spiel" Catwoman asked with a giggle
"Like you wouldn't believe, you know I don't think he likes me very much" Peter said with a shake of his head "I mean what do I have to do to get his approval?"
"You have a tragic past that compels you to help others like a big brooding boy scout and his small army of yes men?" Selina asked with a grin as she slowly approached Peter with a sway in her hips
"Yep" Peter nodded as he placed his hands on his hips and puffed his chest out a bit "I even went as far as to dress the part of a Gotham hero, black, black and more black with a hint of angst thrown in to help me blend in with the local caped crusader himself"
"I can tell" Selina said as she leaned in and tapped the glowing white spider on his chest with a clawed finger "What's this, a night light to keep the boogey man away?"
"If I say yes will you tell anyone?" Peter asked as he glanced around before leaning in and whispering "Between you and me, I'm scared of the dark and the monsters in it!"
Selina laughed at this "Gotham is nothing but darkness and monsters these days, I'm afraid you're in the wrong city"
"Maybe I am…but we all gotta face our fears someday, so maybe I am in the right city"
…
And done.
So Mephisto seems to be up to something and Felicia somehow has a role to play in his game. Peter's continuing to annoy Batman and even has the League's backing to some extent and he and Diana are getting pretty close.
And just to clarify before some of you do go into rage about how Peter doesn't see Batman as a serious threat compared to others he's faced in the past and could take him, he does recognize what Batman is capable of, he even mentioned looking at his feats but Peter's feats and list of accomplishments are just as good, he was just joking because he knows a fight does break out between them it will be one helluva a fight and they will because their personalities will boil over to that point and we all want to secretly see these two throw down since each man is going to find that the other is far from a pushover. Honestly I'm more interested in a fight between Spider-man and Batman then a fight between Batman and superman half the time because they both have in the past taken on the nearly impossible and win!
Batman beats Superman, Spider-man beats the Juggernaut, both amongst the strongest and most powerful beings in their respective universes!
So next chapter more shenanigans between Peter and Selina before they mosey on over to GCPD and begin to do the unthinkable…troll Batman together poor little lamp. We'll also see Jameson's reaction to Peter and Spider-man's death and how their one and the same all these years and we see Julia meet up with the other Marvel gals and get a slight peek on just what they found...the reveal is coming and soon
