Finally returned to writing this, Black Panther is amazing btw if you haven't seen it yet.

At school, people gave Peter sad looks, as Flash approached him, Peter attacked Flash, who held his hands up and said he wanted to say sorry to Peter, he knew how Peter must be feeling and he was there for him. As Peter raced off, Gwen stopped him, hugging him before he left again.

"So I'm not a complete dick then." Flash smiled, seeing his other self at least attempt to make amends.

"Yeah, I was saying you weren't as bad as you were for Peter-2." Peter-3 smiled at him. "Still a dick though."

"I guess." Flash laughed. "I just hope I get the chance to apologise to our Peter sometime for how I acted in Midtown with him."

"You know you shouldn't shut out friends." Peter-2 told his younger alter.

"You're one to talk." Peter-3 chuckled "Remember Harry and MJ?"

Peter-2 just blushed as they focused back on the screen.

Peter went into a dark alley, looking for Carradine, attacking a man he believed may be him, after a short fight, he learnt it wasn't before falling through a ceiling and finding some old posters of wrestlers giving him an idea for a costume. Gwen watched in worry as she saw Peter drawing in class, until on a night he was going around in a hood attacking people to find Carradine, and using Oscorp spider pellets with synthetic webbing to try and create a spider web that could support him swinging through the streets with his new capabilities.

"Is that really where you got your costume idea from? An old Mexican wrestling arena?" Tony laughed.

"It worked!" Peter-3 defended himself, as everyone laughed.

"You should have talked to her, clearly she was worried for you." Hope told Peter-3.

"We did talk eventually." Peter-3 admitted.

"Got to admit, those pellets are pretty good. Not as good as our Peter's synthetic webbing though." Tony smirked.

"I'd say my organic webs have you both beaten." Peter-2 teased.

Peter then took on criminal after criminal, handing them to the police as the police captain discussed with an officer about this new guy, calling him an anarchist. Peter then looked up some new types of clothing to wear, before building his own Spider-Man suit.

"Yeah, you're not going to make any friends by doing their work." Bruce told him.

"Well someone had to do it, and they clearly didn't care enough." MJ argued in defence of Peter.

Peter then waited in a car for a criminal, attacking him and asking him about his activities. As the police arrived, Peter mocked the criminal and them for being slow, as they turned their guns to him and ordered Spider-Man to surrender, Peter fled the scene, being chased by the police throughout the city until escaping eventually.

"Why do all Peter Parkers just wise crack?" Sam groaned.

"It's our curse." Peter-2 and Peter-3 shook their head mournfully, making the rest of the room laugh as Sam continued to groan.

"So I guess they've decided you're public enemy number one, not all the rest of the scum?" Scott asked.

"Yep."

Back home, Peter got more food from the fridge as May asked what Peter had done, with his injuries, asking how he got them and who he let do this to him.

"I hated lying to Aunt May, but I couldn't let her know what had happened." Peter-3 said.

At Oscorp, Doctor Connors refused to rush human trials to save Norman Osborn, as Osborn's assistant said they'd try the Veterans hospital for unknowing trials, as Connors protested more, he mentioned how Richard Parker had stood up to them, fifteen years earlier, before he vanished. Did Connors want the same to happen, and implied Connors had something to do with it. He then said Connors was fired and could say goodbye to getting a new arm. He had the rest of the day to clear out his office.

"They do realise that rushing to a human trial, when you're only just into animal testing, will do far more harm than good, right?" Bruce asked, askance.

"They were desperate." Peter-3 reasoned. "They wanted to save Norman, no matter the cost."

"They really want to try to do this using unwitting veterans?" Rhodey seethed. The whole room was disgusted.

"Well, that's only going to encourage Connors to take personal risks himself then, denying him the help." Betty shook her head.

Gwen caught up with Peter at school, asking him where he had been, before inviting him around to her house that evening to study and have dinner with her family, to have that date finally.

"Finally got a date with her, have you?" Peter-2 teased his younger alter.

"At least mine was pretty quick, how long did you and your MJ take?" Peter-3 shot back as Peter-2 blushed.

At Oscorp, Doctor Connors stole some of the serum and used it on himself, making himself a test subject to see if it could cure human limbs.

"Well, this went from a bad time to an even worse one." Flash shook his head as they all saw the serum affecting Connors.

"At least now you'll get to see what happens to me when I go around to Gwen's." Peter-3 said, rueful.
