Finishing two chapters in one day? It must be Christmas. Going to start some House of the Dragon fics, may return to this shortly, may be a few weeks.

At Gwen's, Peter entered via the fire escape, Gwen remarked it was 20 stories as Peter said the doorman was intimidating. As Peter and Gwen discussed his suit for dinner and the flowers he had brought, Gwen's father walked in and greeted Peter, revealing it was the police chief.

"You do realise she's not an idiot, right?" MJ asked, raising her eyebrow as Peter-3 sheepishly rubbed his head.

"Well yeah I know she's not an idiot, I just hoped she'd buy it." Peter-3 lamely excused.

"So her dad is the police chief, like he was in Peter-2's world?" Ned asked. "That must have been fun, considering he was chasing after you."

Doctor Connors found he had grown a new arm and tested it out, before calling to get the assistant to not take the serum to the hospital, he found the new arm began to act up, getting into a taxi, he demanded they drive fast as his skin began to become covered in scales.

"This is why you don't do human trials without rigorous testing first, kids." Bruce said in a joking tone as the room shuddered, seeing the arm become scaly.

At Gwen's, the subject got to the Spider-Man as Peter and Captain Stacy began to argue, Stacy saying he was a criminal, an amateur and was a danger, Peter saying he was providing a public service and most would agree with him. Gwen eventually called it off, telling Peter to get some air as Peter apologised for offending Captain Stacy.

"You're going to make him suspicious, defending Spider-Man so much when as a regular college age New Yorker, you shouldn't particularly care about him." Bucky pointed out.

"I couldn't just let him slander me like that, Spider-Man was helping to clean up the streets. Sure, I probably could have gone about it in a better way, all I did was raise his suspicions as well as Gwen's with it." Peter-3 agreed.

Peter tried to explain he had been bitten, as Gwen said she had too, Peter tried to say it was about something else, but couldn't get the words out, as Gwen began to walk away, he pulled her to him by a web and kissed her, she tried to say he was the Spider-Man as he told her to shut up and they kissed some more. Her father left in a police car as her mother told her to come inside, Peter jumped off the roof to chase after whatever he was going for, as Gwen said to herself that she was in trouble.

"I'm feeling sick at seeing her take it as this cutesy thing." MJ shuddered.

"Well that's one way to reveal your identity to her." Tony's eyebrow raised, seeing Peter being so open with his powers, the rest of the room also looked shocked, they imagined it would take alot longer for him to reveal to Gwen who he was.

"Well at least you finally kissed, took you long enough, even in this one." Eddie told Peter-3 who blushed.

"So her father has been called away, I'm going to guess that Connors has fully snapped?" Strange queried.

"Sadly."

On the bridge, the Lizard attacked cars, looking for the assistant, as Spider-Man engaged him, before rushing off to save a young boy trapped in a car that was falling off the bridge. Peter unmasked and told the boy to wear it to be brave, rescuing him and seeing the Lizard had escaped, Peter also fled as the police arrived.

"Is he still trying to find the assistant to stop the forced trials?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, he still retained his mind during all of it." Peter-3 shook his head, thinking of what could have been different if he were just a mindless beast through all of this.

"See, this is why Peter Parker is a hero in any universe!" Ned told Peter-3 who flushed again at the praise.

"I only did what anyone would do."

"Not everyone, I know people who would have left the kid." Clint told him.

Doctor Connors reverted back human and found himself in the sewers, following a small lizard through them, wrapped only in a coat.

"Well doesn't he look positively charming at that moment, a far cry from the respected scientist he was earlier." Cindy wrinkled her nose.
