Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
DannyPhantom619: Yeah, Peter has been acknowledged to be amongst some of the smartest people in the Marvel universe by the likes of Reed Richards, Tony Stark and Hank Pym, the last one when the guy found out Peter made his spider tracers when he was like sixteen and made him really question the true extent of Peter's intelligence because what the Spider tracer can do and how it works is pretty impressive for a fifteen year old to make, especially with his resources or nearly lack of. I have read it, that was actually one of the first spider-man stories I ever read on this site and what inspired me to start making these stories
Jebest4781: I have watched that video and while I do think Spider-man could beat Batman in an all-out no holding back fight to the death, I feel like he would be really able to win when he's in the black suit, be it the symbiote or just the regular black suit he keeps around, in that he doesn't pull his punches as much and his sympathy for the guy he's beating to a pulp is at zero but not to the point he'll actually kill someone, and that combined with his speed, strength, I.Q. and spider-sense, Batman would need one helluva miracle to beat him.
Bobywhy: No he already knows it, I was talking about another story at the time, sorry for the confusion.
chm01: No she won't become a villain in the DC universe or Marvel one even though she kind of already is at the moment
Galabrax: Who the person is will be revealed soon, he'll make a brief appearance at the end of the next arc after this one. No Mephisto isn't trying to gain control over Peter, he's just screwing around with him because he enjoys it because I swear he lives to give that guy and other's grief
Jestalnaker94000: What do you mean when you say Superman pre-crisis, do you mean pre-Crisis on infinite Earths, like the Golden Age Superman, technically the original Superman first introduced in the 1930's and is now called Earth 2 Superman? If you mean him against the likes of Hyperion, Blue Marvel and Sentry at the same time, probably that Superman. I'm basing this off the fact that Superboy Prime is close to Golden Age Superman in power and he's shown to easily take on Superman (Post Crisis on infinite earths aka Current Superman), hundreds of Green Lanterns and other heavy hitters of the DC universe and win.
Arrankor: It's arguable that Peter beating Juggernaut is more impressive then Batman beating Superman because the one fight I know is most famous between the two is the one from The Dark Knight Returns and while the fight was awesome, I think that Superman is a little weaker than the mainstream one and was still recovering from that nuke he took and has been unable to really recharge his powers from the sun, so while awesome that Batman beat Superman, he technically beat a weaker one, granted in mainstream the two have fought and I think more often than not it ended in either a drawl or Batman winning once during the Hush storyline.
keyblade master cole: You'll see what it is that Mephisto wants Black Cat to do soon. Yeah Diana really needs a pick me up after what happened to new 52 Superman, while I didn't like him I couldn't help but feel bad for Diana, granted in the comics it looks like she has Steve Trevor for the moment but I'm not sure that'll last too long, but hey who knows.
Karlos1234ify: Yeah what Mephisto has planned in regards with Black Cat will cause some serious issues down the road and yeah Peter is going to have fun trolling Batman about Catwoman, hell she'll join in trolling Batman just for kicks
texaswookie: While Spider-man having beaten Firelord, a herald of Galactus is impressive, I think his fight with the Unstoppable Juggernaut is even more so since that guy's strength has rivaled the likes of World Breaker Hulk, don't even get me started on the Eighth Day Juggernaut, that guy was a beast with that level of power.
MooNight-Rider: No there will be no soul replacing or vessel using of any sort.
Cajun Strong Man 2: She doesn't have the super soldier formula like she does in the Animated series, that was mainly just a shot of rage fueled strength. Spider-man and Killer Croc will fight next arc and yeah Peter will tear that oversized lizard down to size, poor cannibal. As for how Selina will react to Felicia, you'll see
Mister K: Yeah Peter and Bruce's fight will be awesome, at least I hope it will be. No Peter didn't kill them, Black Heart was killed by Superboy Prime which will be shown in greater detail and Mephista was entrapped in the Phantom Zone but has seemingly perished according to Mephisto, how each event happened and how large of a role Peter played in each will be shown.
heroman45: Oh Deadpool will pop over to the DC verse at some points and yeah if Batman thinks Spider-man is annoying, he has yet to meet the Merc with a mouth…it'll be worse when all three are in the same space, god help Batman's already questionable sanity
gunman: She's aware that it wasn't Peter that attacked her and got her imprisoned but at this point she really doesn't care, rage can blind one and make them irrational to the truth sadly. They'll become closer and actually develop a strong bond, but those kinds of things take time to build especially given their personalities and I don't want it to rush and have them be all buddy, buddy after only a few chapters, but they'll have it when Peter heads back to the Marvel universe, towards the end of this arc and the next one their relationship will start to improve, slowly but it will make it seem more real in that these guys can overcome each other's polar personalities and become genuine friends. Yeah in terms of power most of Spider-man's rouges could tear through Batman's since out of all of them only like five have any real powers but what they lack in power they make up for in brutality or ingenuity, same with some of Spider-man's rouges, some don't have powers but are either extremely skilled or smart people. I have something in mind for Joker's and Spider-man's first meeting and while yeah one hit from Spidey and the guy's out because while he is Batman's greatest nemesis, he isn't the most powerful and is still very human, most powerful Batman villains are more Poison Ivy, Solomon Grundy or Clay Face
LL: Yeah Batman will be unlucky enough to be in a room with both Joker and Spider-man mouthing off at the same time. And yeah Peter will be pushing quite a few of Joker's buttons and the poor clown won't know how to handle that too well because really how many times has any of the bat clan verbally dished it out as good as they've gotten from the Joker? As for not being able to tell if Black Cat hates Spider-man or not, it was intentional, sort of to show that emotionally she's a real mess right now…perfect opportunity for Mephisto to make a move.
Justafan: Yeah Peter has it pretty bad compared to most Marvel heroes and it is always odd that he's facing down these massive threats and three quarters of the time he has to do it on his own, one would think he'd team up with other heroes more often considering half the super heroes in Marvel operate out of New York, Manhattan to be exact

Marvel Universe… New York City, City Hall
Jameson remained quiet as Julia stood across from him, having just revealed to the former owner of the Daily Bugle that for all these years, his star photographer and cousin in law, was in secret the wall crawling hero Spider-man!
To say the tension in the room was thick would be an understatement, Julia's found breathing in space easier than the suffocating silence that was flowing in the mayor's office
Finally, after what felt like hours Jameson spoke, his voice oddly quiet and his face calm "…So Parker, all this time, was Spider-man?"
"Yes…" Julia nodded carefully, curious to see how this plays out, at this point it could go either way
Jameson nodded at that "Hmm, thought so…would explain how he was always able to get the best photos and happened to be right in the action"
Again, the room was filled with silence until Jameson spoke "And your positive he's actually dead this time?"
Julia nodded sadly "Yes…and to be honest I don't think he even exists anymore"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jameson asked with narrowed eyes
"Even if he was dead, I would still be able to sense him. Just because he is no longer amongst the living doesn't mean his spirit is truly gone, but now…" Julia trailed off with a shuddering breath "I fear that Peter won't be coming back...not this time"
Jameson hummed at that before turning his chair and looking out towards the window "You can see yourself out I presume?"
Julia nodded "Yes…"
She than slowly faded away, leaving Jameson in his office. The former editor stared out into the city for a long moment before taking a deep breath "Damn kid…"
He then turned and unlocked a drawer in his desk and pulled it out to reveal several cigars and took one, after a few moments he had it lit and took a deep inhale of the cancerous causing item before exhaling into the air and leaned back in his chair and glanced towards some of the frames he had up that he's kept over the years that often stated that Spider-man was a menace to society and a criminal
Jameson chuckled at the last part "Well I wasn't wrong, he was a criminal…smart little bastard cheated me out of hundreds of dollars with glorified selfies for years and I was none the wiser…"
He then pinched the ridge of his nose before hitting his intercom "Harley?"
"Yes, mister Jameson?" the voice of his secretary answered
"Call it a day and head home, let my guards know they can do the same" Jameson said in a quiet tone
"Sir, are you okay?" Harley asked with some concern for her rather loud boss
"Not really Harley…but this is something I need to figure out on my own" Jameson said as he ended the call and leaned back in his chair and ran a hand over his face before putting his cigar out before reaching for his phone and selected a specific number and held the device up to his ear while he looked out towards the window
His hand tightened ever so slightly as he saw what looked like Iron Man soaring over the sky in his trademarked red and gold armor
…
Julia held in a sigh as she finally reappeared in her apartment, she looked towards the clock and saw that her daughter, Rachel, will be returning home any minute now from her field trip
'I can already tell she's going to be devastated that her 'uncle Peter' is dead…' Julia thought as tears began to build up in her eyes
The little girl was practically Peter's biggest Fan and on a few occasions dropped some hints to her mother that' she like it if Peter was around a lot more often. The biggest being when Rachel asked Peter to come with her to the father daughter dance at her school
The look she gave Julia was all the clue the then Spider-woman needed to know that her little girl had chosen who she wanted as a father…Julia just wished she actually went through with it instead of putting it off, first by using his personality as an excuse and then later her duties as Madam Web
She quickly wiped her now falling tears away at the thought of her and Peter actually being something more than just close friends and all the missed opportunities they had over their long careers as heroes. She was about to head to her room and change when she heard a knock at the door. Julia frowned as she looked towards the doorway and through her sight the forms of Jessica, Wanda, Carol, Jean and Teressa
And they all looked pissed beyond belief
Julia frowned at that as she made her way to the door and opened it "What's going o-"
"Julia, your gonna want to sit down for this" Jessica said as she held up a flash drive
Julia frowned at the device "What is it?"
"Something that's going to make Tony Stark one of the most hated men in living memory" Wanda growled out as her eyes glowed red
Julia narrowed her eyes at that as she gestured for the women to enter and quickly made her way to the couch that held her custom built laptop, courtesy of Peter before the events of Spider Island and everything just seemed to start going downhill from there…
Jessica handed the drive to Julia who inserted it into the slot and waited a few moments for the information to come up.
What she saw, caused Julia to see red and psionically shatter every window in her apartment building and the six surrounding buildings…
…
Back in the DC universe…
"Sooo…how's things been in the seedy underbelly of Gotham's criminal underworld?" Peter asked Catwoman as the two sat perched on a rooftop looking over the city, it looked almost peaceful from where they were…almost
"What am I your snitch now?" Selina asked with a snort as she stretched her arms over head in a provocative manner
Peter stared at her for a moment before turning his gaze back to the city "I prefer urban informant myself…sounds more gangster"
"Yeah, and so does getting offed when people find out that you're an urban informant" Selina said as she turned si her legs rested on Spider-man's lap and she laid down on her back and stared up at the sky and 'hummed'
Peter looked down at her legs for a moment before looking back at her face "What, you expect me to rub them or something?"
"Maaaaaybeee" Selina said as she looked up at him with a grin "…and if you're lucky, I might let you rub something else…"
"Moving kind of fast aren't you?" Peter quirked his head to the side "We've known each other for like what thrity minutes?"
"Meh, that's usually a lot longer I've known a guy before I sleep with them, barring a very small few" Selina said with a shrug as she examined her claws and noted they they will have to be sharpened later, the middle and pinky claw were staring to dull "So what really brings you to Gotham?"
Peter shrugged as he began to rub Selina's legs, being mindful to not wander too far up or down "Well I literally have nowhere else to go in the world and I wanted to piss off Batman!"
"Nowhere else…." Selina said with a frown as she propped herself up on her elbows and gave Peter a look "What you're an alien or something?"
"I'm from an alternate universe, possibly multiverse. Does that count?" Peter asked with a snort as he trailed a little further up Selina's leg, years of experience with Black cat has taught Peter the subtle ques of when a woman like either her or Catwoman is enjoying being touched and when not to be
And so far Selina seems to be liking what he was doing if the increase in her heart beat and slight barely auditable hitches in her breath are anything to go by
"Hmm…guess not" Selina said as she leaned back down and let Spider-man continue to rub her legs, enjoying the feeling of his armored hands rubbing over her muscular limbs in an almost sensual way
She couldn't help but smirk "Your pretty good at this…not your first time I take it?"
"Nah, I have a sexy cat thief back where I come from who dresses almost exactly like you" Peter said as images of Black Cat flashed through his mind "Tight black leather suit with a cat theme, zipper down to the naval to give one a good look at her nearly unrivaled cleavage and the only woman I know that can make stealing from someone look hot"
Selina chuckled "Sounds like a helluva girl, think I might want to meet her now…"
"Good luck, she kind of wants me dead now" Peter said with an awkward cough
"Oh and why's that? Webbed her up too many times, foiled her heists?" Selina joked
"No, crazy evil scientist guy I sadly knew switched our minds and ran around in my body for a while, he ran into her and proceeded to beat her half to death before having her thrown in jail" Peter said with a sigh
Selina's eyes widened at that "…Damn…well that sucks"
"Yeah…and what's worse it took almost everyone almost a year to realize it wasn't me!" Peter said dryly
"Jesus…must have been pretty convincing if he was able to fool people for that long" Selina stated with a whistle "I doubt Clayface can pull off something for that long"
"No, actually he wasn't able to trick anyone…he became a borderline dictator of New York City and killed several people and crippled another several dozen as he ran around masquerading as me. Everyone just sort of didn't care at the time" Peter said with a slight growl at the end
Selina, sensing the topic was starting to get a little too dark decided to switch to something a bit more light hearted that may lead to something even better, well in that Selina may be waking up with a sore yet blissful body in the morning…or afternoon either one is fine by her
"So, you seeing anyone yet?"
Peter's head snapped towards her's in surprise "What?"
Selina chuckled as she leaned up and rubbed a finger up and down his glowing spider symbol "I said, are you seeing anyone or maybe have someone back home?"
"Uhhh it's complicated" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his neck "And I guess I'm sort of seeing Wonder Woman now, kind of"
Selina quirked a brow at this "Wonder Woman, really?"
"Is that a problem?" Peter asked
"No, just didn't think she'd find anyone after Superman literally bit the dust" Selina said as she went back to examining Peter's armor
"What do you mean? I met Superman earlier" Peter said with a slight frown of confusion. Maybe he should start reading up on this earth's history, or at least recent history
"He's a different Superman, much nicer in my opinion. The other was sort of a brooding arrogant ass" Selina said with a snort
She might be being a little harsh on him, but he didn't really scream pagan of truth and justice like he said he did. Plus, there was still the whole him blasting Doctor Light to death and him getting off Scott free because 'He's Superman and he didn't mean to, it was all Atom that did it, he's just as much a victim'
'Victim my tight, well-toned ass! He didn't even show any remorse or even bother to show up at his funeral after everything was said and done' Selina mentally seethed
Aside from her, Steve, Hawkman and Martian Manhunter only Batman, Aquaman and Flash showed up for the funeral for Doctor Light. Hell, Lex Luthor from what Steve told her had through a series of dummy accounts had paid for his funeral and made sure his wife was well off
"Oh…sorry to hear that. Guess he and Batman got along greaaat" Peter said the last part in a sarcastic drawl
"Oh you have no idea" Selina said with a chuckle "They were considered 'The World's finest!'"
"World's finest…just them?" Peter asked with confusion
"Yep" Selina said as she stood up and placed a hand on her hip and gave Peter a sultry smile "Now Spider-man, do you want to continuing discussing about Batman and Superman or do you want to find a vacant rooftop or room and fuck?"
Peter stated at her for several long moments and was about to answer when suddenly the bat signal lit up, dragging both black clad heroes' attention, or in Selina's case 'Hero for Convivence'
"Looks like trouble" Peter said as he stood up "Sorry, looks like we're going to have to postpone by that romantic evening you had planned"
"Damn, and here I was hoping to have a sore still leaking vagina in the morning" Selina said with mock sadness
"Uh yea-Wait a moment!" Peter said with his lenses widened
"What, you reconsidered?" Selina asked with a giggle
"No, even better" Peter said as he leaned in and whispered into the cat thief's ear
Her eyes began to widened ever so slightly along with her grin until it looked like she took a blast from Joker's infamous Joker Toxin before pulling away
"As much as I want to help with that, I'm a wanted criminal" Selina said with a amused expression "Murder to be exact"
Peter eyed her for a moment before speaking "Were they innocent people or harden asshole criminals?"
"Criminals, as assholish as you can get in this world" Selina said with a blank expression
Peter was quiet for a moment before nodding "Well I don't really approve but…I happen to work with people that have filled graveyards with people, not all of them criminals sadly so I'd be a hypocrite if I said no to working with you…at your convivence or course"
Selina stared at Peter for a moment before voicing sudden thought that came to her "And if Batman tries to take me in?"
"Well…hell hath no fury like a man protecting a thief that stole his heart!" Peter quipped which caused Selina to giggle before leaning up and planting a kiss on his armored cheek
"Well let's go then, I'm actually curious to see you two possibly fighting little old me"
…
Gordon took a deep breath as he stood next to the lit bat signal. Batman was crouched behind him, watching both him and Gotham's newest heroes Gotham and Gotham Girl floating, a few feet above him in a manner that vaguely reminded him of Superman and that one blonde kid calling herself Supergirl or something
"All right, look, I've got a guy clamming he freed Grundy. Blew up the transport" Gordon said with a exhausted sigh as he watched the smoke drift off his pipe "I got him clamming that in my office"
Gordon than took an inhale of the burning tobacco as he stared at the two younger heroes "Right before he slices his throat open and bleeds out on my overtime sheet"
Gotham Girl, who looked a bit disturbed at the revelation spoke "The people who used the missile on the plane…they were found having killed themselves too. Another suicide attack? Another Kobra attack?"
Gordon sighed "Yeah I don't know. It's another something, that's all I can say at this point. He was ranting on about monster men coming. That mean anything to you?"
Batman's eyes narrowed at this "No…"
"Monsters jeepers Spidey!" the voice of an amused Catwoman startled everyone present and caused them all to turn to see the infamous cat thief sitting on the ledge of the GCPD with Spider-man standing next to her
"…Hi, don't mind us" Spider-man sent them all a wave "I'll hack the Watchtower later and use it to hack into Batman's systems to find out what's going on"
"Catwoman!" Gordon said as he drew his side arm and aimed it at the smirking thief, who was quickly blocked by the large armored form of Spider-man
"Whoa easy their commish, can't have you go and blowing my urban informant away now" Spider-man said in a light tone, but with the ever-subtle hint of an edge in his tone
"Wait, you convinced Catwoman to be your snitch? How'd you pull that off?" Gotham said with surprise in his tone
"Uh the politically correct term is urban informant" Spider-man corrected
"No, I'm pretty sure it's snitch" Gotham said with as he cupped his chin while Gotham Girl nodded
"Why are you here Catwoman?" Batman demanded with narrowed lenses before glaring at Spider-man "and I told you to leave!"
"Yes, but you never said when" Spider-man said as he crossed his arms and nodded to himself in satisfaction "Plus I'm told it's bean burrito night and the Flash is on monitor duty and according to Wonder Woman, unless I have a death wish I should avoid that place for the foreseeable future"
Batman silently glowered at Spider-man's form as Catwoman peeked over the wall crawlers shoulder and stared at Gotham and Gotham Girl
"So you two are the new kids on the block...love the capes and sweetie you might want to get a longer skirt or maybe wear some pants. You're a little too young to be exposing that much leg in this business"
Gotham Girl blushed as she suddenly became self-conscious of her outfit while Gotham quietly mumbled "I told you so…"
"I thought it'd be cute!" Gotham Girl whispered back
Selina giggled at the two's interactions before turning to see Gordon stare at her suspiciously, she responded by sticking her tongue out at him
"Last chance Spider-man, get out of Gotham or I'll make you" Batman said as he took a step towards the wall crawler
"To be honest, I really want to see you try Bats, really, I do" Spider-man said as he took a step towards Batman until they were both nearly in each other's faces, the tension rising to uncomfortable levels for almost everyone there
"Aww Bats are you just jealous that I moved on and chose Spidey?" Catwoman teased, unaffected by the potential fight between the two men
Batman turned his attention towards the former Justice League of America member with a scowl "Why are you here with him?"
"To annoy the crap out of you and because I'm planning to have one hell of a rut with him afterwards why you wanna join in?" Selina asked with a grin "I wouldn't mind being sandwiched in between you two all naked and sweaty…meeeowww!"
"Ok, eww on soo many levels" Spider-man said with a shiver before looking towards Batman and pointing to the two floating heroes "Also how come your letting those two in on whatever it is that's going on but not me? I've been a hero longer than them!"
"Really? How long?" Gotham Girl asked with interest
"Fourteen years come tomorrow!" Spider-man said with pride in his voice before his lenses widened "…How in god's name am I still alive? Especially with my personality…"
"Better question is how are you still sane?" Catwoman smirked as she draped an arm over Spider-man's shoulders "Come on Bats, ease up on the big armored boy scout, he's only trying to help…and annoy you. Think of him as Robin only he's already hit puberty in all the right places, about to get a taste of this cat's cream assuming I'm not in a cell after this meeting and he took on Doomsday of all people on his own and blew part of his face off. I'd say he's more than qualified to help out"
"…Well when she puts it like that" Gotham said as he looked back and forth between Spider-man and Batman "…Maybe Spider-man can help out, he might see something we don't"
"More qualified than us, and we're probably stronger and faster than him" Gotham Girl whispered to her bother who nodded in agreement
Batman was silent for several long minutes and just as it looked like Batman was going to say to hell with it all and attack he turned on his heel and made his way to the ledge "Meet me tomorrow night at Wayne Tower"
Peter watched him go for a moment before smirking and giving him a mocking three finger salute "Aye, aye oh cap'n my cap'n!"
The dark knight seemingly melded into the shadows and left the group on the rooftop in awkward silence
"Well now that's all out of the way, me and Spidey here have a rut to get started on any objections?" Catwoman said as she grabbed Spider-man's armored hand and began to pull him away
"I have a few-" Gordon began only for Spider-man to scoop Catwoman up and shoot off the rooftop like a fighter jet, his armors thrusters creating a sort of sonic boom as he and the infamous cat thief vanished from sight "…Never mind"
He then turned to see that Gotham and Gotham Girl were also gone, causing Gordon to sigh
"God help my successor…they're going to need it and then some"
…
And done.
So next chapter Spider-man and Catwoman lemon followed up by Spider-man confronting Batman…in the Batcave! Also, Peter meets up with Batgirl and several other members of the Batfamily
And then we head over to the Marvel universe and finally the things the girls found begins to come to light as they bring it to Captain America and a few trusted others, also we see what's going on with Reed and Doctor Strange and a surprise guest appearance
