Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
Jaeson Chandler: Nah that's just good old superhuman stamina he got from both the spider bite all those years ago and doing what he does on a regular basis. Plus, that whole Tantric energy thing is part of it.
Spawn Hades: No, he won't be kicking any Titans asses for intervening when they weren't needed… doesn't mean he's going to let them off the hook.
shawn desai: Yes, Dinah's the middle child and the Black Canary while Sara's the White and Laurel is the Black Siren.
Adtr509: Nah that was Dinah enjoying herself, this chapter and the next she's going to bring the pain to Negative and his boys. Oliver will find out and he'll try to give the whole 'shovel talk' to Spidey but well he's the last guy to be telling Peter to not hurt someone he cares about, guy does it enough on his own.
Dave Bennett: It depends on how much power that each is using at the time. Gladiator's powers come from how much confidence he feels in himself, weird I know but meh I've seen weirder sources of power and Juggernaut's powers come from a Gem that some demonic cosmic god funnels his power through. So the fight would depend if Gladiator has high faith in himself and if Juggernaut is in Cyttorak's favor at the time, more so than usual, but under normal circumstances Gladiator might win said fight since he has a few advantages on Marko.
gunman: Technically Peter's already getting alien loving from Power Girl, she is a Kryptonian, she's just from another universe is all. Grail will be showing up within the next three or four chapters.
iamzim87: I'll give those two a look about a possible threesome between them and Spider-man.
DarkJoey: Uh okay… glad you liked the chapter.
Guest: Well for starters Spider-man isn't in an actual relationship with any of the women he's slept with. You can have sex with a person and not be dating them you know. Uh him ignoring them didn't lead to the threesome, Dinah was already planning to have sex with Peter and so was Vixen, the latter just jumped on Peter getting a 'upgrade' like half the other villains in this story have been getting to do so because she was made aware of the whole Tantric energy thing a while back and that Peter can get stronger from sex as weirdly awesome as that is.
Blaze1992: Can't it be a bit of both?

It was a few days after Peter's threesome with Dinah and Mari that the web slinging hero found himself on the window ledge of one Matt Murdock's home who unknown to many, was the 'Man without Fear', Daredevil. He peeked inside and saw that the lights were for the most part off in the apartment. He looked around for signs that Matt might be home before he heard a voice speak up directly above him.
"Why are you peeking inside the home of Matt Murdock at two in the morning Spider-man?"
Peter jumped a little before he looked up to see Daredevil hanging to the side of the building with the aid of his Billy club. He gave the red clad vigilante a small wave as he crawled up next to his fellow street level vigilante "Hey double dee, just stopped by to see if you were in. Wanted to talk to ya about something"
"What is it?" Matt questioned with a frown.
"The kinda thing best talked about behind closed doors unless you really want the residents of Hell's Kitchen to hear our dirty laundry being aired out for them to hear" Peter replied after a moment.
"Hmmm…" Matt sounded as he pressed a switch on his Billy club that lowered him down towards his window before he called the grappling back inside it "Alright, come on in. But be sure to wipe your feet please, I just vacuumed the carpet this afternoon"
"How's that work?" Peter asked with a puzzled expression.
"Radar sense, and the vacuum isn't that loud so…" Matt replied as he leaped into his apartment followed closely by Peter.
Several minutes later the two men were sitting in Matt's kitchen, or Peter was while Matt remained standing, his mask/cowl pulled back while Peter's mask rested farther up his head. The only source of light for the two was the small lamp on the counter and the lights on the coffee machine that Matt started up.
"So in the past few weeks your telling me you've slept with Wonder Woman, Warbird, Black Canary, Vixen, Lois Lane and Power Girl?" Matt said after hearing Peter's reasoning for being here.
"Yep" Peter said with a nod.
Matt 'stared' at Peter for several moments before he rubbed the ridge of his nose "Aside from telling you good job at basically experiencing what over half of the current male population's fantasy on Earth is, what is it that you wanted to talk about?"
"Well that, me being with so many women and stuff" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his head, a nervous tick that Matt has long used to help him read Peter's mood, well aside from his breathing, heartbeat and shuffling "How do you do it?"
"Do what?" Matt asked with a slight turn of the head as he stirred the contents of his mug with a spoon.
"Keep so many women like that happy and not want to rip your head off for more or less sleeping around?" Peter asked as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Who says that I am?" Matt questioned with a snort.
Peter shrugged "I'm not sure, maybe because the last time I was here in the middle of the night and I went to use your bathroom, I passed by your room and I risked a peek inside and saw what looked to be the passed-out forms of Elektra, Cheshire, Black Widow and Lady Shiva on your bed with there being clear signs of sex still in the air"
"Ah…" Matt sounded as he took a sip of his drink "Well… that's…"
"And I'm pretty sure that you're also sleeping with your law firm's secretary too" Peter said as he eyed Matt accusingly "For a guy raised Catholic, your pretty sinful. Sleeping with so many different women…"
"Says the man raised in a Protestant household who seems to be sleeping with everything that has a pulse" Matt fired back with a smirk "I swear, it's a wonder you're not being called up for a paternity test every other month because according to Felicia, who says hi by the way and wonders when your gonna visit her in L.A., you don't use a damn condom"
"You can thank the radiation in my blood for that one" Peter said as he took a sip of his drink before wiping some of it off his lips with his sleeve "That spider bite had all but sterilized me to the point that my chances of shooting of any sperm that can impregnate a woman are close to ten percent, on a good day"
"Really?" Matt said with genuine surprise "I didn't know that"
"Eh, no one's ever asked" Peter responded with a shrug.
Matt hummed at that as he drank from his mug "So, are the women in this… thing that you have going, are they aware that your sleeping with others?"
"I… think… I mean their all really good friends and stuff and they like to hang out and gossip I guess" Peter said with a frown "But I'm not really with any of them so…"
"Do they know that?" Matt questioned with a grin as he took another sip of his coffee "Trust me when I say this Pete, nothing's more disastrous then sleeping with a woman and then going on to another without clarifying that there was no intent to have an actual relationship between you and her, it was just sex. Plain and simple. Trust me, I made that mistake with Typhoid Mary and she ended up nearly killing me and my now ex-wife"
"I… think…" Peter said as he paled a little "I mean none of them have really hinted they wanted more at the moment. Well I think Lois did but other than tell me she's gonna be in New York this weekend and was hoping to crash at my place she hasn't said 'hey can we be official or as official people like us can be in this day and age'"
"Better find out, and fast" Matt said to Peter with a pointed look.
"Alright, alright… last thing New York needs to see is my butt getting the crap kicked out of it by several very beautiful and very powerful women who are all equally pissed off with me" Peter sighed as he took another sip of his drink "By the way, how is Milla?"
"Don't ask…" Matt sighed as he placed his cup on the counter and rubbed his brow.
Peter winced at this "Ooh, sorry…"
"It's fine, just… still a little sore about it is all" Matt said in a low voice before he shook his head in weary amusement "Huh, maybe that's why I've been sleeping around so much. Trying to fill the void and all that"
"Probably, or maybe you, just like me, are a slut" Peter snickered.
Matt laughed at this before he held his mug up to Peter's "To Spider-man and Daredevil, the only two men that can surpass Batman, Guy Gardner and Green Arrow in being sluts in the super hero community"
"And may Jameson never find out because if he does, I may very well have to retire from this gig, or find a new identity in a new city" Peter chuckled before he down the last of his coffee in one gulp and let out a satisfying sigh afterwards "Man, where'd you get this stuff? It's better than the Coffee Bean's!"
"Natasha, she brought a few bags of these coffee beans she got from a drug lord that she… removed from power… in her last trip to Colombia" Matt stated as he finished his drink.
"Well be sure to let her know that I approve and wouldn't mind some more if she get's the chance" Peter said as he pulled his mask back down.
"I'll send you a bag later, and let her now you liked them" Matt said as he pulled his mask/cowl back on "Before you go, there's something we need to talk about"
"What is it?" Peter asked.
"The Teen Titans" Matt said.
Peer groaned at this "What'd they do now?"
"Well, it's not as bad as you think but…" Matt trailed off as he tired to find the right words to say "They may, and I do stress may, be planning to take down Fisk from what I could gather from them when I ran into them the other day in a fight against Beetle who was on a job for Fisk"
At this, Peter's eyes nearly popped out in surprise "Please tell me your joking?"
"Wish I was" Matt said with a heavy sigh as he glanced out the window and into the city of Manhattan "They have no idea what their up against if they do try to take on Fisk, super powers be dammed"
Peter understood what Matt meant by that, years ago when Peter himself was firsts starting out, he made the mistake of trying to take on the Kingpin like he was just another crime boss. Surprise, it ended with him getting his ass kicked and unmasked, but thankfully not identified. But still, if the Teen Titans tried to take the Kingpin on all half cocked like Peter did… they were way out of their depth when it came to this man. Heck they probably think he's just some chump like Black Mask, all bark with little bite to worry about which again, Peter thought the same and even Matt when he first crossed paths with the man.
Peter stood up suddenly and made for the window "Okay this has gone on long enough, I really need to have a talk with these kids-"
"They're not here. They're in California at the moment helping out the Titans against Brother Blood for the next few days" Matt revealed.
Peter paused at this and glanced at Matt with surprise "How do you know that?"
"Foggy called me this afternoon to let me know after watching the Titans and Teen Titans fight against some of Blood's cultists in Beverly Hills. He was visiting his mother when it went down" Matt said.
"Foggy's mom lives in Beverly Hills?" Peter said with surprise "What is she, a millionaire or something?"
"No, she's a house sitter. He just happened to be picking her up for lunch when the fighting went down" Matt clarified.
"Oh, well neat I guess" Peter said.
"Yeah…"
The two stood there for a few moments in silence before Peter clapped his hands "Well double dee, as much as I enjoyed talking about our sex lives and New York's newest and youngest team of superheroes trying to take on the most powerful crime boss on the East Coast, I'm gonna make like a tree and get out of here and put together my strongly worded scolding for said team of young superheroes"
"It's leave" Matt said with a snort "Make like a tree and leave"
"You say tomato, I say orange" Peter shrugged with a smirk as he leaped out the window and shot a web line off to the nearest building and swung away with Matt watching him go with a shake of his head.
"Sometimes I'm embarrassed to know that man..."
"What man Matthew?" a woman's voice tinged with a light Greek accent suddenly spoke up from the bedroom.
Matt 'looked' towards his room and sensed it's slightly tired occupant standing in the doorway with only a small partially see through sheet covering her body.
"Spider-man..." he said with a heavy sigh.
Elektra chuckled at Matt's answer as she let the sheet fall from her body and approached her lover before she brought him into a brief but hungry kiss before pulling back and leaning up towards his ear and spoke in a low but husky tone.
"Did you tell him what I want fro my birthday?"
"No" Matt answered evenly.
"Why?" Elektra asked with a grin as she began to run her hands up Matt's chest while pressing her bare breasts into his torso.
"Because if you want any sort of threesome with the man, you ask him yourself instead of making me do it" Matt replied dryly as he placed a hand on Elektra's bare hip "And i very much doubt he's in any hurry to do anything that might involve me seeing him naked and vice versa"
Elektra's response was a scoff "So it's okay for you and him to fantasize about two hot women wanting to sleep with you at the same time, but when us women want the same thing, but with men, it's suddenly not right?"
Matt didn't have any response for that, much to Elektra's amusement as she turned on her heel and made her way to the bedroom with a sway in her hips "Fine, I'll ask him myself later"
"He's going to say no, and rightly so" Matt called after to her.
Elektra stopped before she looked over her shoulder and gave Matt a grin that would leave any man or women both aroused and terrified at the same time somehow "Matthew dear, you know he's too scared of me to say no to me..."
…
It was several days later that Peter and Dinah, now dressed in their 'work clothes' stood on a building ledge that over looked a restaurant that Martin Li often attended when doing business with other players in New York's underworld or when he just wanted to relax. According to DeWolff's snitch, Li would be attending this place tonight after his overly complicated and drama filled visit back home.
'And speak of the devil…' Peter thought as he saw a limo, a limo of all cars, pull up to the building and watched as Mister Negative himself step out from the vehicle, flanked by his current top lieutenant Hammerhead and one of his Inner Demons. Peter and Dinah watched as the man made a few comments to Hammerhead as they entered the building, unaware that they were being watched.
"Well, lets get to it" Dinah said as she took a step forward before Peter stopped her by placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Easy Canary, he'll be out in an hour or so" Peter said as he looked at the slightly surprised blonde.
"What?" she asked with a frown "He's right there Pete, along with his second in command practically. It's the perfect time to hit him"
"I've been in that place before, it's usually jammed pack with Li's goons, and with Hammerhead there, it means that it's even more packed" Peter said with a nod towards the building "Place is like a maze, filled with these little tunnels and hidden security defenses that make trying to break into Fort Knox easier. The best time to hit Li is when he's on his way home"
Dinah frowned at this "You sure?"
"Um, between the two of us, whose had more experience with this man?" Peter asked.
Dinah stared at Peter for a moment before she sighed "Point…"
"Trust me Dinah, you don't want to face a guy like Li with Hammerhead and over half of his Inner Demons backing him up in that place. I tired, and it didn't end well for me, like at all" Peter said with a sigh as his own attempt to lay siege to the place came to mind several years ago.
"So, what can Negative do anyway?" Dinah asked as she looked at Peter "I've already met Hammerhead a few times and know he has a pretty hard head because of some metal thing in it"
"Negative's powers come from this drug called D-Lite and yes before you laugh that's it's actual name" Peter said with a chuckle before he adjusted his position on the ledge "Anyway, his powers allow him to tap into these things called the Darkforce and the Lightforce which in turn let him preform a host of abilities"
"Such as?" Dinah asked with a concerned frown.
"Superhuman strength, enough to send me threw a building once" Peter said with a shrug as he held up his hand and began to tick off all the things he's seen Li do over the years "Shapeshifting although it seems rather limited, can heal people as Martin Li where's as Negative he can corrupt people by inverting their morals and personalities"
"Damn…" Dinah said with wide eyes "I thought he was just some punk with a weird ass skin disorder"
"If only" Peter said with a shake of his head "And sadly that whole corruptive touch thing of his, the more good the person he's touching has in them, the worse you become. Like if you were as nice as Jesus or something, you'd turn into the Anti-Christ"
"Did he ever use it on you?" Dinah asked worriedly.
"Yeah, once" Peter said with a small nod "Nearly killed Daredevil because of it"
Dinah's eyes winded at this "He was able to corrupt you to the point you nearly killed Murdock?"
"Yeah, it wasn't pretty" Peter said with a slight shiver as the memory of Matt lying broken and beaten at his feet came to mind "Luckily he was 'fighting' Cheshire when I stumbled across him in that state and she was able to break Negatives influence on me by putting me though severe psychological turmoil"
"What'd she do?" Dinah asked as she folded her arms under her bust.
"Made me relive the death of my first girlfriend, learning the deaths of my mother and father, the death of my uncle annnnnnd the loss of my brother Ben all at the same time by shooting me up with a modified version of Scarecrow's Fear toxin that was meant for good old double 'D' because he's the 'man without fear' and I guess Cheshire wanted to put that to the test or something" Peter said with a simple shrug.
"Christ" Dinah said with wide eyes before she glanced down at the building that Li had entered "I'm starting to have second thoughts picking a fight with this guy if that's what it'd take to stop me if he inverted me"
"Good news is that his touch only works on you once" Peter said as he folded his arms across his chest "But I still wouldn't recommend getting jabbed by him just to get that immunity. Honestly I don't think its worth the emotional trauma you'd go through"
"Why can I see someone like Batman doing that just to get that immunity from Li?" Dinah asked with an eye roll.
"Cause he's hardcore enough to go through with it maybe?" Peter said with a shrug "I don't know, the guy has gone to some pretty intense extremes to beat the bad guys over the years. That might be a cake walk compared to some of the crap he's gone through"
"Not if what you said about Negative's touch is true" Dinah said with a frown.
"Bah he'll be fine, the guy has a will or iron that's almost considered a super power, unlike me!" Peter said with a laugh.
"Must be nice to super powers" Dinah said with a grin.
"It is, well most of the time" Peter said with a shrug.
"Must be nice to be able to breeze through life with powers, having things go your way better than most" Dinah said.
Peter quirked a brow at this before he glanced at Dinah "Must be nice to have a former member of the Justice Society be your mom which in turn gives you like automatic reserve status with them and access to their sweet HQ and connections to other superheroes where's I had to work at it for a decade at least"
Dinah turned her attention towards Peter and smirked as she laid on her side and gave him a smirk "Must be nice to be able to sense someone trying to hurt you and being able to dodge it without much trouble where's I have to do it the old fashion way which half the time sees me getting my ass kicked a bit"
"Must be nice a casual sigh from you can shatter steel when your super ultra-fighting style that can let you go toe to toe with Lady Shiva of all people isn't needed" Peter fired back with a grin.
"Must be nice to have a healing factor that can allow you to heal from serious injuries in a day at most" Dinah said with a shrug.
"Must be nice to have a billionaire in your back pocket that can pay for a lot of your stuff" Peter replied.
Dinah smirked at this as she scooted closer to Peter as she ran a hand down his chest "And it must be nice to have superhuman endurance-"
BOOOM!
The sudden conversation between the two went up in flames like the building they were scouting out and caused both to jump to their feet in surprise.
"What the hell?" Dinah said as she and Peter watched Negative and his men rush out of the burning building.
Peter tried to look for the source of the explosion before he suddenly heard something above him and risked a glance up. He let out a sigh at what he saw "You've gotta be kidding me…"
"What is it-…" Dinah began only to stop as she followed Peter's eyes to see what he saw and couldn't help but sigh herself "Oh…"
It was Robin, Beast Boy, Aqualad, Starfire… members of the latest incarnation of the Teen Titans.
"You invite them?" Peter asked as he checked his web shooters to see that they were full and operational while the Teen Titans attacked Negative and his men with Raven and Kid Flash emerging from the building and joining their comrades in the fight.
"Nope" Dinah said as she cracked her knuckles "I'm not really all for bringing kids into this kinda life this early. Plus, I have my hands full with Roy, don't need to add a demon lord's daughter, a entitled little brat or a ecoterrorist, and a shape shifting social media obsessed vegetarian to the mix"
Peter hummed at that as he and Dinah watched the team attack Negative's men. For the most part they were doing fine on their own, but in terms of working together… there was quite a bit left to be desired. Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy seemed to be doing okay given that two of them worked with the previous incarnation of the Teen Titans that was led by Red Robin, with Starfire having worked with the Red Hood and Arsenal in the past but newbies like Kid Flash and Aqualad were clearly unaccustomed to fighting with more than one person if any one else at all. And Robin… he probably should have stayed in Gotham a little while longer…
"Well, he's definitely Batman's son alright" Peter said as he watched the newest Robin take on several of thee Inner Demons and disarm and disable them all in the span of ten seconds.
"And Talia Al Ghul's…" Dinah said as she saw the way the boy fought, more like a member of the League of Assassins then anyone in the Bat family.
"Yeah… so he is" Peter agreed as he and Dinah watched the team face down one of New York's biggest crime lords.
"Think we should help them or not?" Dinah asked before suddenly she and Peter saw Beast Boy turn into a gorilla and try to grab Mister Negative only for the man to grab the green harry arm coming towards him and break it at the elbow, causing Beast Boy to roar in pain before he was kicked into the burning building by the annoyed crime lord.
"Help them" Peter said as he shot off towards the fight, leaving Dinah standing on the ledge for a few moments.
"Uh yeah, I'll be right down the old-fashioned way because some of us in the business can't fly or survive falling off a rooftop on a five story building…" Dinah called after him before she rushed towards the fire escape as the fighting in the street intensified with the arrival of Spider-man.
…
And done.
