The next morning, Peter saw Captain Stacy issue an arrest warrant for Spider-Man before meeting Gwen, telling her she was the only one who knew about him and discussing him laying low, he said he had to stop whatever was on the bridge, it would have killed everyone on it and it was too big to be human, he had to try stop it and maybe it was his job to try as Gwen and Peter both said they liked kissing the other.

"Well there goes any hope of you working with the police." Ned shook his head.

"Yeah, we didn't have the best relationship, still don't really."

"Really? Neither do I!" Peter-2 remarked.

"Our Peter has always gotten on reasonably well with the police, at least pre Thanos he did." Happy noted with a frown.

"Why does every Peter have to put himself in danger? There are others who could have dealt with Connors!" May protested as Peter-3 gave her a sad look.

"You know the police couldn't have stopped him, the world needed me to step up and stop him."

Peter went to Oscorp and found Doctor Connors, asking him about hunting a reptile, Connors warned Peter that he doesn't, a reptile would hunt him if anything, saying there's a new species in town and its aggressive if threatened, as Peter asked for ways to hurt a reptile. As Peter left, he found the mouse they had tried the serum on, it had gone feral and cannibalistic, killing the other mice.

"Well that doesn't sound overtly threatening at all." Kingo laughed.

"I'm pretty sure Connors wants you to know he's the villain." Scott frowned.

"He was just too emotional and felt like I was threatening him, even if I had no idea about him." Peter-3 stated.

"So yeah, that was clearly not an actual success story." MJ frowned.

Peter then visited Captain Stacy, begging him to investigate Doctor Connors, saying he believed Connors was the lizard monster. Stacy laughed it off as Connors was a good friend and had helped Gwen alot, telling an officer to take Peter back to Midtown and ensure he went there. Peter begged him just to look into it, as Stacy mulled it over, then told a deputy to look into Curt Connors.

"Gwen's dad won't help, he dislikes you and he seems to love Connors, especially if Connors has recommended Gwen to have a great career." Bruce said sadly. It seemed yet again that the law would be of no help to a Peter Parker.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Peter-3 smiled coyly.

"Well, I have to say I'm shocked he agreed to that." Bucky blinked, seeing Captain Stacy order an investigation into Curt.

In the sewers, Connors experimented on himself again, using stronger doses of the toxin, as Peter dived into the sewers, setting up a web system to warn him if the Lizard was on the move nearby, figuring it would use the sewers for transportation.

"Yeah, that's not going to end badly at all, giving himself more and more of that unstable stuff." Ikaris shook his head.

"That's actually pretty ingenious, I need to do something similar if my Connors ever goes off the deep end." Peter-2 surmised.

Peter followed a strand with small lizards moving on it to come face to face with the Lizard, who attacked him. Following a short fight, Peter was knocked into the sewers and washed away, as Lizard was blinded by a camera flash, grabbing the camera, he saw it belonged to Peter Parker.

"Well that's one way of getting his attention." Tony frowned.

"So he can control lizards like I can control ants?" Scott asked, excitedly.

"I'm not sure, I only ever saw him with the little lizards once, perhaps they were merely drawn to him, like an alpha lizard?" Peter-3 pondered.

"So now he knows who you are. Wonderful." MJ facepalmed.

"Could he have come from here?" Ned wondered aloud, thinking all the villains came from a time they learnt who Spider-Man was.

"Possibly." Peter-3 agreed.

Peter hurried to Gwen's, still in costume, ending up cuddling her on her bed and trying to hide as her father stopped by to check on her. She got her father to leave as she saw Peter was wounded, and bandaged him up, the two of them making out as Gwen said she had feared every day if her father wouldn't make it home due to his job, and she didn't want that with Peter as well, as he promised her he would, but he had to stop the Lizard as he made them. Gwen asked how, Peter said he gave them the equation that allowed them to do it, it was his fathers, and he had to stop them.

"I'm surprised she let you in and didn't rat you out to her father." Flash muttered.

"Gwen would have never done that." Peter-3 said, stunned that someone would have even mentioned that as a possibility.

"Not the best time to be getting it on when you're badly injured." MJ raised an eyebrow as Peter-3 laughed.

"Aww, that's sweet, in a morbid way." Cindy cooed, hearing Gwen tell Peter she feared for his life.

"With great power." May said sadly, hearing Peter give his reasoning for why he had to stop Connors.

Peter asked if they could get out of there for a minute as Peter took Gwen swinging through the streets and to a clock tower.

"Yeah, I'll never get used to swinging around the place and I hope Gwen was the exact same." MJ shook her head.

"Nah, she loved it." Peter-3 winked.
