Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
Redrangerlegacy: No there isn't a Arkham Knight among these guys… yet.
Jestalnaker94000: Most of Gotham's rogues and other criminals aren't super powered, at least in the same way that over half of Spider-man's are. Manhattan had something to do with him being Mr. Oz, I know it and it seems it's being slowly confirmed in the Superman comics right now.
Hero of the Multiverse: No they were an actual thing in DC Rebirth.
justafan: No, Kane's just an asshole with a unhealthy fixation on his nephew and daughters nightly activities. Wow, that just screams wrong on so many levels.
Fireofargentis: No she's generally a playful woman, most of the time at least. We'll be seeing more of Peter's mentor like side after this fight with the Colony. The only elements that I am taking from that story is that Mary Jane is dead and the story takes place a few years after her death, the difference is she didn't die by radioactive semen. And if you think that story was depressing, what i have cooking will be way more depressing, but still a great story you wont be able to stop reading till the bitter end.
Adtr509: Part of it is the Nancy thing, but another part of it is because their complete opposites of each other. She's dark and cold, he's bright and caring, she's a ends justify the means kind of girl and he's all about finding another way and not falling to the same levels of his enemies. She's the sort of edge he needs in his life and he's the sort of light she needs, balance each other out in a way. When I get back to the Marvel universe I'll be delving deeper into her relationship and views on him. Oh and Spidey giving Stark a long overdue ass kicking from him.
Spawn Hades: Nah, Peter is still going to push Bruce to start a relationship with Andrea, even if he has to force him out of the bed to do it at gun point. No Peter won't be starting up any Parker Industries company in this story, but I do have plans for him to have one. It wont be Carol or Diana that little May will see as her number one mommies, if anything they'll tie for number two. who the number one mom will be is a surprise.
JJChandler: The only ones in the Bat Family outside of Batman who has a chance to compare would be either Dick, Jason or Tim and even then, that's stretching it a little with the last one.
Marveldcfan: Since Peter never got Parker Industries after regaining his body, Bobbi never became his liaison to SHIELD so they never grew close but she does recognize what kind of man he was and when it comes down to the looming fight, she'll side with Peter's friends and family.
gunman: Well Stark and his people won't be getting off Scott free this time around, some will be lucky to be still breathing when it's all said and done.
Wingd Knight: Jason is with the Outlaws which is composed of Artemis and Bizarro and Nightwing is in New York City with the Titans. He picked Batwoman partly because she's his cousin and they've always been close and partly because she can arguably better organize and coordinate the team's members during missions.
ben 10. 000: Why would he kill him?
Guest: What about them?
Legionoftheweb94: Well now I'm thinking about it and I have to say, it sounds pretty funny. Nothing screams you like a person then conquering a world in their name.
Yes that guy/Leonard Church814: Guys, keep the fanboy fight to a minimum please.
A hero's legacy: It's a bit of both in some cases.

"Close Ranks!" Red Robin yelled as the Colony soldiers began to encircle them, their weapons raised and trained on them.
"These are the guys that took down Batman?" Spoiler asked as she threw on her hood and pulled her mask on to keep her identity concealed, even though she concluded they may already know her's and everyone else's thanks to the apparent traitor Jacob Kane, Batwoman's own father.
"Yes" Batwoman said with a frown as she stared at her father with a combination of anger and betrayal.
"Ok, so basically, we're dead" Spoiler said with dread, she knew she didn't stand a chance against Batman which meant she wouldn't even last a second against the guys that actually kicked his ass three ways to Saturday.
"I knew I shouldn't have left that audition" Clayface groaned as his eyes darted frantically around at the various gun men, trying to figure out how to best take them out while hoping they had no cryo weaponry with them.
"Aww man and I have an actual take the girl out for food or a movie and have actual fun date with Catwoman later tonight!" Peter said with a sigh as his shoulders lumped "I swear my bad luck has somehow followed me here…"
"You have a plan?" Spoiler asked as she leaned back towards Red Robin who had a small holographic screen up from a small projector in his gauntlet.
"Sending out an alert to Batgirl and the Birds…" Red Robin stated before he frowned "But my systems aren't responding. We may be on our own for the moment"
"Is the Wi-Fi down again?" Peter asked before he glanced towards Clayface "You didn't hit it again, did you?"
"What?" the clay being said with confusion.
Everyone's attention was suddenly drawn upward as a Colony Solider came flying through the window, his armor torn and dented in numerous places. The Batman inspired trooper made a hard, painful landing on the ground as bits of glass fell on him before Orphan dived through the hole and landed on the man's body. Her suit was equally torn in some places but for the most part, she seemed fine. The man she used as a cushion not so much if the pained groan he was making was anything to go by.
The various gun men turned their weapons on the new arrival as she stood up and took several deep breaths to calm herself before she took in the situation before her. Various gun men, all armed to the teeth like the men she already beat on the roof and all fully rested, unlike her.
Orphan nodded ever so slightly before she slipped into a highly advance combative stance "…Okay"
One of the Colony soldiers standing next to Kane had his hand to his ear while he kept his gun aimed at Orphan's general direction. He glanced at the Colonel before speaking, his voice having a slight electronic echo to it for either intimidation or to hide his identity, or both "Sir, there are four men unconscious on the roof and another seven too wounded to continue the operation at this time"
Jacob rolled his eyes at that before he spoke up as he saw several of his men began to approach Orphan, their fingers twitching on the triggers "Enough, this doesn't have to be a fight"
He then pointed at the tense form of Orphan and spoke in a cool collected tone "Fire"
The soldiers didn't even hesitate as they suddenly opened fire on Orphan's form, causing Batwoman to shout in shock and horror before she tried to lunge at her father but was grabbed by Peter. The red headed woman turned towards Peter with even greater surprise and outrage on her face before Peter pointed towards the scene again. Kate followed his finger and saw that Orphan wasn't at the center of a pool of blood, but had over fifteen small darts in her body, from head to toe.
"Always so melodramatic" Jacob said with a shake of his head "It's just a sedative. It'll wear off in a few minutes. She's an impressive one though, isn't she?"
Jacob then nodded towards the rest of his men as more pooled in from the destroyed window above them "Secure a perimeter around them. I want to talk"
"Keep him talking, I might be able to get into their network" Red Robin said in a low voice as he activated an algorithm that started to attack the Colony's firewalls.
At this, Peter smirked as he cracked his knuckles "Oh trust me, that won't be a problem with me"
"I'm not sure what's worse, getting shot or listening to you prattle on" Kate said with a sigh.
Peter snickered before he loudly cleared his throat and stepped forward, only to stop as his spider-sense went off as over a dozen gun men aimed their weapons at him, their safeties clicking off almost in snyc.
"Hey, your boss said he wanted to talk, so let's talk" Peter said as he raised his hands in the air a little "Well you can talk to Batwoman, I'm just gonna go over and make sure that my teammate Orphan there isn't because your Halloween dropouts pumped her with enough horse tranquilizer to drop a rhino!"
"Like I said, she's fine" Jacob said as he had his men lower their weapons as Peter went over to check on Orphan.
"Uh-huh, sorry if I'm not exactly eager to believe you considering you just lied to us about the Colony" Peter said with an eye roll that "And how do you know she isn't dead, for all you know some of the stuff in those tranqs of yours could give her a serious allergic reaction"
"He makes a good point" Spoiler said with a nod "Shit one of your needles could have somehow nicked a vein and she's bleeding out or soemthing!"
"She's not-"
"Oh, so you have X-ray vision now, or have some sort of advance medical degree?" Peter said as he pulled the darts out of Orphan's body. He could hear and see she was beginning to stir, though her movements were sluggish. He didn't know whether to be impressed that she was already shaking off the effects of the drugs or bothered that she seems to have a high tolerance to them.
You don't build up an immunity like that naturally…
"Look, no one here is going to die" Jacob said as he rubbed his brow in aggravation "If we wanted you dead, you'd be dead"
"Wow, that's the most cliché thing a villain could say… and I should know" Clayface said with a growl.
"So your hunting us like animals but you're not going to kill us?" Batwoman said with narrowed eyes towards her father "Yes, that makes us feel so much better"
"Kate it isn't like that" Jacob said with a shake of his head before he reentered his gaze on his daughter "Years ago, you came to me with a mission. You'd seen him in action, you saw the potential of what he could become"
Jacob took several steps forward as he made a wide arm gesture to all of the colony soldiers around him, their weapons ready to be aimed and fired in seconds, maybe less "What you didn't know is that I had a mission of my own. Both of us shaped by the same force of nature. Both of us shaped by Batman. The idea of Batman is powerful, but it's pointed in the wrong direction"
"Hey, we've been trying to point him towards happiness and smiling more but that man is as stubborn as a short chain-smoking Canadian that likes to cut people with metal knuckle claws and drink crazy amounts of whiskey" Peter said as he picked up Orphan and carried her back to the group just as the hyper lethal girl began to regain consciousness.
"We've built what Batman is into something better, with military force and funding" Jacob said with narrowed eyes "Crime isn't the real enemy… there are very real enemies out there, worse than he's imagined"
"Yeah, like whoever designed your guys clothing" Spoiler snarked "I mean you guys don't even have capes! What kinda G.I. cosplayers are you?"
"The kinda that obviously didn't make it past… uh… boot camp!" Clayface said before he glanced down at Spider-man as he placed Orphan on her feet "You okay?"
Orphan nodded as Jacob stepped forward, a glare etched on his face "We're fighting a war on a scale Batman can't even begin to comprehend, against a foe he's ignored, and that war has come to Gotham"
"If you mean the Court of Owls, we've already dealt with them" Batwoman said with a scowl.
"Them?" Jacob scoffed "What I'm talking about is far more dangerous then a bunch of self-entitled white-collar criminals with a taste for theatrics and owls. We'll deal with them after we've-"
"Just like you dealt with Bruce, your own nephew!?" Kate hissed in anger.
"Don't be stupid, he's perfectly fine, though I reckon his pride and his ribs have taken a massive amount of damage" Jacob said with a simple shrug "He was getting too close, we couldn't have him stop us"
"Did you bother to ask nicely for him to stand back and not interfere with your plans?" Peter asked with a raised hand "Or did you assume he'd say no, which in all honesty he probably would, and just attack him out of nowhere like your typical evil organization from some Saturday night cartoon? And not a good one, I'm talking about the kind that's canceled several episodes into it's first season"
"We're not the bad guys, Spider-man. In the last few years, we've saved thousands of lives, globally" Jacob said before his gaze flickered back to Kate and he approached her until he was within arms reach "I've been dying to bring you in… but you kept pushing me away"
Batwoman looked at him with an incredulous expression before she gestured towards the colony soldiers around them "Because you keep lying. First about-"
"This, is what I've been training you for" Jacob interrupted his daughter, his voice tinged with anger "From the beginning. I knew you wouldn't be readmitted into the service unless you built yourself into a free agent we could recruit. This is the legacy you're supposed to be part of. I know you Kate. I know what you want. What you need"
"Then tell me… dad" Batwoman said in a challenging voice along with a pair of narrowed eyes.
"That's exactly it" Jacob said as he paced a hand on Kate's shoulder "That's why you called me today. You need someone to tell you what's right Kate. You need an army. Join us and you'll be leading one, right at my side. Where you were always supposed to be"
"I swear I've seen this before" Peter whispered towards Tim.
"Yeah, cliché military guy trying to do the right thing in the wrong way… not uncommon but it happens" Tim whispered back as he saw he was nearly through the Colony's firewalls "Come on, just a few more minutes"
Jacob, unaware of Peter and Tim's conversation stared at his daughter with an almost pleading look "You once swore an oath to support and defend, in service of your country. I'm asking you to serve again"
Kate stared at her father for several moments as she mulled over what he said before she glanced at the team "What about them?"
"Bring them" Jacob said as he placed his hands on his hips and examined the team his daughter was part of "You can keep training them if you want, or we can put them through our system"
It was than that Jacob smirked "I think a little bit of army strong would be good for them"
Peter glanced at Tim who gave him a look that told him that they still needed time. Peter nodded slowly before he stepped forward "I have a question Captain"
"It's Colonel" Jacob answered.
"Same thing" Peter shrugged, it wasn't but he didn't care at the moment.
"No, it isn't" Jacob said with a frown.
"Oh, well anyways, Colonel, you've overlooked one glaring detail in your master plan to beat us" Peter said confidently.
"Oh, and what's that?" Kane asked with a raised brow.
"WE'RE THE GOD DANG ULTIMATES!" Peter shouted as he pointed towards the man in an overly dramatic fashion. After several seconds of silence passed, Peter lowered his arm and looked towards Tim with a question look under his mask/helmet "Isn't this the part where something happens?"
Before Tim could respond, one f the Colony soldiers from the main computer spoke up as he noticed something about their network "Sir, we have a problem"
Jacob smirked as he glanced at Tim "Red Robin, right? Trying to fight back? Cute, really it is"
Spoiler swallowed nervously as she glanced at her boyfriend "Uh Tim?"
Tim stared at the holographic display over his arm with confusion before his eyes widened as suddenly the firewall breech vanished only to be replaced with a blank screen before a text began to appear.
TH3 G3N3R4L: UR SMART, BUT UR NOT THAT SMART. THX FOR YOUR ENCRYPTION CODE, THO. THE BAT-COMPUTER IS OURS.
"No…" Tim said in shock as Peter sighed.
"Please tell me you have a plan 'B'?"
"First thing Batman taught me" Tim said as he pushed a button on his gauntlet which in turn caused the Bat-Computer screens to shut off.
Full shutdown initiated.
"Gotta do everything the hard way" Jacob said with a shake of his head.
"Clayface, play ball!" Tim said as he glanced towards Clayface.
"You sure?" he asked with uncertainty "We haven't-"
"Do it!" Tim said.
Clayface suddenly expanded and began to wrap around the team as Peter shot a web line off to Batwoman and watched as it landed on her chest before he yanked her forward just as the Clayface began to form a ball.
"Kate!" Jacob shouted in surprise.
Batwoman glanced back at her father with a hurt expression "I trusted you dad. I brought you here to show you the kind of leader I've become. Now, your gonna find out the hard way"
It was then that Clayface finished forming into a ball and not a moment sooner a hatch underneath him opened and the orb of sentient clay fell straight down into the darkened tunnel, leaving Jacob to watch in silent anger.
…
"I've been on enough teams to know that sometimes you need a quick escape. So I planned ahead" Red Robin said as he switched on a torch as he and the team climbed out of the muddy mass of Clayface in the middle of a darkened corridor, hundreds of feet below the surface "Twenty false paths off the main tunnel drop. And even if they're right on our tails, they'd have eight feet of titanium to carve through to get where we are"
"Uh, what's to stop them from using the Bat-computer to open the door?" Peter asked as he pointed up to the door they just came through.
"The systems in lockdown. If they managed to hack in, and they can't, it'll still be another ten minutes before they can actually input commands. And they don't know the right one"
Peter nodded at that before he glanced towards Batwoman "Are all of you Bat guys this arrogant or is it just Bat's and him?"
"It's usually just him and his Robins" Batwoman said as she glanced up at the tunnel they came down through "The rest of us usually have a little more humility and common sense"
"Guys, we're safe" Tim said with a frown.
"No, no I believe you, it's just if these guys had no problem kicking Batman's teeth in, then hacking into a supercomputer shouldn't be all that difficult" Peter said with a shrug "Heck I was able to hack it and all I had with me was a TI-83 calculator, several old satellite phones, an old laptop from LexCorp, several hours to kill and an car battery I kept after some guy threw it at me the other day when I was fighting some crazy guy with a crap ton of tally marks all over his body"
"Someone threw a car battery at you while you were fighting Zsasz?" Spoiler asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, apparently I was beating the crazed bad guy too loudly for that person's liking and he thought throwing an old battery at me will keep it quiet" Peter said as the group began to move down the darkened tunnel.
"Heh, that's new" Spoiler said with a snort before she glanced up ahead of the team "By the way, how are we gonna get out of this place? I don't exactly see an exit sign anywhere"
"When Gotham first broke ground on their subway system in 1898, they spent a year building tunnels that turned out to be three feet too small on all sides" Tim revealed as they passed a wall that had faded images of an old looking Gotham City Subway sign on it, the images of the old skyscrapers reminded Peter of the structures he'd seen in those old black and white movies from way back in the day that was set in the future, he rather liked them "There were no subway cars in the country that could safely fit. So they started over, a few hundred feet up"
"There isn't a civilization of Mole people down here is there?" Peter asked as he had Genesis scan their surroundings carefully and let out a sigh of relief when her results came up negative aside from a few rats and a couple dozen cockroaches.
"Not to my knowledge" Tim answered with a grin as they emerged from the tunnel into what once looked to be a rather grand subway station.
It was no Grand Central Station, but Peter admitted it looked pretty nice, or it would have if it wasn't abandoned and now looks like something out of an old post-apocalypse movie.
"Wayne Tower sits on the HUB of the old tunnels and the new… so I thought it might be worth renovating. There are twelve bots finishing the tunnels down here right now. When it's done, I thought this would be the perfect place to get from one end of Gotham to the other in a matter of seconds" Tim said as he approached a circuit breaker and opened it before he turned a few dials and switched on the power.
"No need for Batmobiles. We could be everywhere in an instant" Tim said as the team gaped at the set up before them as the lights illuminated the station.
"This is nuts" Spoiler said with wide eyes ass eh took in all the tech and equipment around them.
"This is what happens when you give a sixteen-year-old genius who doesn't sleep an unlimited budget" Tim boasted proudly.
"Yeah… lucky you" Peter grumbled as memories of him when he was sixteen came to mind.
He could barely afford to buy the ingredients to make his web fluid and on some occasions even fabric to repair his suit!
'Still… I was able to pull of a lot with what I had, so there's that' Peter reasoned before he saw some what was laying on the tracks and raised a brow in slight amusement "Are those Bat-trains? Or do you prefer Bat-monorails?"
Tim shrugged "Not exactly. Think of them as bullets and the old tracks like a rail gun. These pods will be able to travel about twenty times as fast as the top speed of the Batmobile… still have to nail the breaking system"
Peter nodded at that "Well… I'm going to stick with web swinging and flying in my suit. Rather not be in one of those during an earthquake and a few pebbles get caught on the track that my bullet train happens to be on, because with my luck it will…"
Clayface nodded in agreement "Yeah, I heard what happens when turtles try to cross those tracks in Japan for the bullet trains and the train hits them or something else on the track… nasty"
It was than that Batwoman spoke up "Red Robin, I need you to take the others and hide. I trust you have somewhere safe and untraceable"
"Hide? Are you kidding-" Spoiler began only Batwoman interrupted her with a stern glance.
"You heard me Spoiler. This is my battle. I never should have gotten you all involved. I need to find my father. I need to take care of this"
"Uh no offense Batwoman, but you do know they have you outnumbered by like a hundred, right?" Peter said as he raised his hand a little "Also didn't they beat Batman, who is a better fighter than you? Also, won't he kinda be expecting you coming after him with a Bat-knuckle sandwich with his name on it?"
Red Robin nodded with a frown on his face as he crossed his arms across his chest "He's right, you'd be playing right into what your father wants you to do. You know this isn't the right path, you said so yourself"
Batwoman sighed at this "Look, I'm not going to debate with you two, especially with you Spider-man because I'm getting tired of hearing your voice for the day"
"Awww!" Peter whined as his shoulders slumped "But debating with superhero women is like my sixth greatest power, aside from being all around Amazing at quips and jokes!"
"Amazing, more like annoying" Batwoman shook her head with a huff
It was than that Tim spoke up after clearing his throat "I did manage to counterattack my way back into the Colony network for a few milliseconds up there, while they were trying to shut me out of my computers. It's not much, but-"
Spoiler interrupted with whatever he was gonna say with a playful shove and a grin on her face "Stop gloating. Get to the point"
Tim then smirked as he showed a holographic map with a red dot centered on a certain part of the city, underneath it to be exact "I know where their base is"
Batwoman stared at the image for several moments in deep thought before she spoke in a cool tone as her hand formed a tight fist "They took down Batman. They broke into our base"
Tim chuckled at this "I know right? So tell us boss. How exactly do you want us to kick their asses?"
Batwoman smiled a little at this as she had Tim bring up a more detailed image of the map he was able to acquire from the Colony "First, let's see how we can get in there and where we can link up with Batman, when, he gets out of whatever cell their 'holding' him in…"
…
It was close to half an hour later that Peter was idly humming to himself as he had Genesis run a last-minute system check on her firewalls and counter hacking capabilities before they and the team set out for their attack on the Colony's base of operations. He was a bit worried to see that when Tim was hacked by the guy going by 'G3N3R4L', they were also hacking into Genesis's systems, or try to at least…
'Still, they were getting a lot farther than I'm comfortable with. Hell, any longer and they would have been able to access Genesis's weapons systems and deactivate them or even set them off!' Peter thought with worry.
While he was aware that there will come a time when someone can breach his armor's security and possibly shut Genesis down, he never really though there was anyone on this planet aside from someone like Cyborg and Batman working together that could pull it off. It seems, like Batman, Peter had vastly underestimated just how much talent and resources this Colony had at it's disposal.
"Then again, they do have government funding and backing… man the bad guys always get the good stuff" Peter muttered before he saw Tim approaching him with a frown on his face.
"Hey, uh Spider-man, can I uh talk to you really quick?" Tim asked as he casted a brief glance back at the rest of the team to see if they would be able to listen in on their conversation. For the moment it looked like they wouldn't.
Peter quirked a brow at the former sidekick of Batman before he nodded "Uh sure, what's up?"
Tim glanced at Peter for a moment before he sighed "I was wondering why my computers logged you looking up just about everything we had on Ra's al Ghul and his Lazarus pits earlier. And I don't mean just a google search, I'm talking about how they work, what they can and theoretically can accomplish and a list of known and possible locations of said pits and just about everything else Batman and the League has on the two since we first encountered them"
Peter blinked at the young vigilante before he shrugged "I was talking with Catwoman the other day and she mentioned a woman named Talia as being some sort of rival of hers way back when she and Bat's still had a thing. I asked who Talia was and she said that she's the daughter of some crazed near immortal ninja guy and well my curiosity never went away. Sides, with how often you guys tango with him, thought it'd be a good idea to look into him a bit, that way I'm not a fish out of water should he crop up"
"And the hours of researching the pits?" Tim asked with a skeptical frown.
"My scientific mind was interested by the Pit's very nature. I mean the ability to prolong life, cure just about any ailment, even restore one to life?" Peter said with a snort "How could I resist?"
Tim nodded slowly at that "Uh-huh…"
"Yeah…" Peter said as the two held one another's gaze before Tim finally relented and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Look, just, be careful if your 'curiosity' compels you to do more than simple research, alright? Those pits aren't something to screw around with, like at all" Tim said with a knowing look as memories of Jason's early days as the Reed Hood came to mind "They drive people insane or bring out the bad in them and believe me, you don't want that, especially with your abilities"
"I'll keep that in mind, if I do happen to go any farther with my research" Peter said with a nod as he watched Tim nod in return before the younger hero turned on his heel and went to help Spoiler load up with some gadgets she was going to bring with her on their assault on the Colony's base of operations in Gotham.
Peter felt Genesis stir in worry before Peter patted his chest which seemed to calm the artificial symbiote down a little "Don't worry girl… I think I know what I'm doing"
Sadly, Peter has an entire history of times he thought he knew what he was doing in situations where things seemed pretty bleak… and it almost always ended badly for him, and sometimes for everyone else unfortunate enough to know him.
…
And done.
Next chapter, Spider-man and co. strike back at the Colony!
Also, anyone see that little tease for Amazing Spider-man 797? Apparently, MJ and Peter are getting back together… which I don't think is gonna happen.
I mean for years now Dan Slott has made it no secret that he has no intentions of getting them back together and even Marvel itself has said as much, and now with the Red Goblin… I don't know, I'm getting a vibe that this story isn't gonna end the way people think, in that Peter and MJ are back together for the long run again, it just doesn't add up and comes completely out of nowhere, and yes I am aware that Marvel has pulled a fast one out of nowhere before, *cough* Captain Nazi/HYDRA *cough*, but not quite like this, least that I'm aware of. Plus, if you see the panel it shows MJ seeing the Spider-man suit underneath Peter and then pulling away, which means she still only cares about half of Peter, I mean it seems that way since there's no thought bubbles or dialogue ones but even if there weren't, I still have an idea of what she is thinking or saying. The girl needs to understand that Peter and Spider-man are a package deal, you get one, you're gonna get the other regardless and need to accept it because it's getting old with the whole 'I love Peter Parker, not Spider-man' thing. I mean for fuck's sake even the Black cat back before the whole reality warp thing with Mephisto and the mind wipe that Doc Strange did in regards to Peter's identity, she came to love the man entirely, both Peter and the Spider.
Maybe I'm overthinking what's being shown and maybe it's out of context, but it's been teased that some serious shit is going to go down this arc and I can't help but feel that we may be getting a possible 'The Night Gwen Stacy Died' scenario here… and this time it won't be a blonde that bites it.
Leave a comment on what you think, will they get back together somehow or is something else happening?
