Peter was moving as fast as he could but Oscorp still seemed so far from him. If only he could go faster! And the police were not helping. He would have made more progress if he didn't have to dodge them.

The shot at him as he ran along the side of a building but Peter dodged them all until he made to swing. A spotlight shined in his eyes and his spider sense tingled warning him but he couldn't move in time. An electirc pulse slammed through him and he hit the ground hard.

Peter was paralyzed and his body fought against it. He could feel his fingers twtiching and knew his healing ability was trying to work.

The police pulled him up and Captain Stacey peeled off his mask. It came off and Peter felt his arms and yaked easily breaking through the handcuffs that held him. He webbed up the policement surroudning him, covering their eyes and trying to keep his face hidden unti it was only him and captain Stacey. He knew he could dodge the man's bullets but he couldn't afford to waste the time running from them.

That mosnter could already be at Oscorp, he could be hurting Gwen. So instead he turned he faced the man

"Parker?"

"It's headed to Oscorp, and you're daughters there right now. You have to let me go." He stressed looking at the man in front of him desperately. Peter didn't wait for an answer he picked up his mask and pulled it back on his face. Peter looked back at Stacey and he nodded to the captain of the police force before running.

"Hold your fire," Stacey yelled but not before a police officer just arriving on scene had already made the shot. His bullet hit peter in the back of his leg and he yelled lipming as he stumbled onto the cieling of a building.

It hurt so badly and he could feel it there inside his leg any amount of pressure felt like pure agony. But Peter couldn't afford to stop.

Gwen. The girl's name was Gwen. She told Natasha about how the lizard was after the ganali device and that they had to hide it.

The russian spy knew she had to find the info on Oscorp that this might be her only chance but she was also an avenger and she had to protect this girl. So she put aside her mission and helped her.

They had just finished moving it when the lights flickered and the alarms started to blare. Gwen grabbed a small lighter and hopped up on the table setting off the fire alarm and putting the place in lockdown. Natasha had to admit she was impressed. She grabbed Gwen.

"No I can't go, the antidote." She urged

"You can't stay here." Natasha told her she shoved Gwen in with the Ganali device "Stay right there and keep quiet." Then she closed the door and waited.

"Time remaining one minute." Sounded around the dark lab. Natasha wished it would hurry. Suddenly the metal lockdown door was dented. Natasha turned toward it taking out her gun as she did so. The lizard hit it again its claws tearing through the metal. Natasha didn't wait any longer she took aim and fired. Her first shot hit him in the face and it realed back with a roar. She rained down on it but the bullets didn't stop it.

Natasha breifly wondered where Tony and the other's were, but she didn't have time to dwell as the lizard attacked. Natasha was nible, but she was only human and she couldn't match up to the super stracgth that this creature possessed.

No matter how many bullets she fired the wounds kept healing faster and faster. And then it grabbed her she tried to dodge but she wasn't fast enough. The lst thing she remebered was being thrown against the wall her head hitting against the drywall with a harsh crack.

Peter swung onto a building and nearly fell. His leg was bleeding profusely and he was beginning to feel lightheaded. He looked over the horizon toward Oscorp it was so far away.

He was so hopeless. How could he have ever thought he could do this? He wasn't a hero.

He heard people screaming as they ran and Peter took a deep breath and kept climbing. He needed to get there, he had to save these people. This entire thing was his fault and now he had to fix it.

Peter made it to the roof and he kneeled there for a second trying to fight off the pain he looked up toward oscorp and his eyes widened. The cranes were moving, they were helping him, giving him a straight shot to oscorp.

Peter felt hope rising in him. They believed in him.

Bruce was there with Tony as they watched over Steve and Clint.

"Would you look at that." Brcue saw the cranes aligning to help Spiderman "The people really love him."

"They trust him," Tony commented. He knew deep down he should be out there helping, but he couldn't bring himself to leave Steve. He and Bruce were trying to figure out what the gas was so they could create and antidote but it wasn't something that could be done in a day or maybe even a week. And Steve and Clint were getting worse as was half the new york police department.

All he could do now was put his faith in the new hero.

Peter swung overhead toward Oscorp. The lizard was alrady at the top of the tower programming the Ganali device. He used his webs to slingshot him upwards.

"Initializing Ganali device. Detenation in t-minus 2 minutes."

Spiderman swung around kicking the lizard from his perch. He tried to swing away but the creature caught his foot and pulled him down the both hit the lights and smashed into the ceiling rolling. Peter was up right away but he wasn't quick enough as the lizard grabbed him throwing him off the building. He caught himself with his webs and crawled back up

The lizard was waiting for him but Peter was quick he dodged the canister of liquid nitrogen and kicked the monster in the chest. He continued to dogde trying to get up to the Ganali device but Connors was right behind him. He threw another canister and Peter fell hitting the ceiling he moved toward the nitrogen remembering what connors had said about temperture change but the Lizard grabbed him his tail circling around Peter's neck the boy choked as it tightened and the lizard grabbed his wrists squeezing hard until his web shooters crumbled and dneted around his writsts.

He could harldy breath let alone scream as his wrists were crushed. And then the Lizard pulled off his mask and Peter glared.

"Poor Peter Parker. No Mother. No Father. All alone." It taunted him.

Peter knew that wasn't true he did have a family. They were weird and eccentric but still the best family he'd ever had. Granted it was not the best time to have an emtional breakthrough but if he was going to die at least he realized what an idiot he'd been. So his parents weren't his biological ones. They were still his.

Someone pumped a shotgun and Peter and the Lizard both turned. It was captain Stacey. "He's not alone."

The lIzard roared loudly and Stacey shot the hose on the liquid nitrogen that Peter had been trying to get earlier. Peter caught it and shoved it into the Lizards face.

The creature dropped him and he continued to spray him with it while Connors shot at the monster again and again.

"Detenation in t-minus 45 seconds"

Peter through the hose aside and kicked the lizard senidng him tumbling. Captain Stacey kept shooting until he reached Peter. He held out a vial of blue serum. "Here, a gift from Gwen." Peter took it looking at him in shock "I got this Peter, go!"

Peter wasted no time crawling up the tower toward the ganali device.

"T-minus 30 seconds."

Natasha woke up head aching.

"Oh thank god you're awake, I was worried." She recognized the voice as Gwen, the girl from the Oscorp lab. Lab!.

Shit!

She sat up ignoring her pounding head. They were not too far from oscorp and she was in an ambulence.

"Ma'am I need you to stay still, you have a concusiion." A young paramedic was trying to make her lie back down but she shook them off turning to Gwen, the girl had to have pulled her out of there.

"What happened with the lizard?"

"Spiderman and my dad are fighting it up there." She told her softly pointing up toward the top of the tower. Natasha didn't need any other information. The paramedic tried to stop her but Natasha jabbed him quickly in 5 different pressure points in less than a second and ran toward oscorp.

She crused as she took the stairs running as quickly as she could knowing that she wasn't going to make it. She hoped Spiderman could handle it, but the vigilante didn't exactly have her trust.

Peter reached the Ganali device as the countdown started.

10...9...8…

The lizard was coming climbing quickly toward him.

7...6...5...4….

Peter unlached the compartment and pulled out the old serum replacing it with the antidote. The lizard grabbed his leg pulling him down. Peter barely managed to hang on.

3...2...1…

The antidote spread out in a blue cloud and immediately began to take effect. Peter smirked and the lizard droppd down. But it was too early to celebrate as the Oscorp antena bent under the strain and the liquid nitrogen damage. Peter hung on as it crashed sending him flying over the endge of the building.

A hand grabbed his arm and he watched as the metal plumted down unable to catch it without the use of his webbing.

He looked up "Aunt Nat?!" The waman was leaning over the edge barely holding him up looking just as shocked to see him as he was to see her. She pulled him up and they both panted once they were both back on the roof.

Dr. Connors was a few feet away his arm crumbling as he lay gasping.

Peter looked at Natasha but then his eyes widened and he was runing "Captain!" He yelled half limping toward the nearly still body.

"The lizard?"

"It's ok we stopped him," Peter assured. God, there was so much blood, he had to get him to a hospital. Peter moved to lift him but Captain Stacey hissed in pain and Peter knew he couldn't kove the man. "Look at me, stay with me. Helps on the way ok."

"You need to be gone when they get here." He told the boy his hands shaking and voice weak.

"I'm not going anywhere," Peter told him, this was Gwen's dad, he had saved Peter's life and there was no way he was going to leave him there.

"I was wrong about you Peter this city needs you." He lifted his hand holding out Spiderman's mask to him. "Here you're going to need this." Peter took it and he felt the coldness of the man's fingers and he felt tears gathering in his eyes, but captain Stacey wasn't done talking "You're going to make enemies. People will get hurt." He was gasping now "Sometimes people closest to you. So I want you to promise me something ok" Peter nodded "Leave Gwen out of it. Promise me that." Peter didn't speak "Do you promise me?"

Peter nodded "I promise."

Captain Stacey nodded he let out his last breath and Peter's whole body shook tears fell down his cheeks and he let out a scream full of all the pain and anguish he felt in that moment.

Natasha was standing behind him, she knew the minute she saw him upon reaching the rough that the police captain was not going to make it.

Hearing Peter's agonized cry made her heart ache and she remembered why she didn't like boy stood up and she was there helping him walk as he staggered. The both looked out over the city as blue particles continued to fall from the sky Natasha didn't say anything she didn't demand to know why or try to tell Peter it was ok she just let him mourn and he appreciated it.

Everyone in the city saw the blue cloud erupt over the sky.

Bruce crused thinking it was the Biotoxin that Tony had been talking about but then he saw Clint flinch he saw the scales slowly peeling away and his eyes closed and opened as the yellow drained from his pupils.

Steve too was beginning to heal, and Tony hugged his husband tightly.

Bruce heard his phone ring and he looked down at the caller ID Natasha Romonov. "Natasha are you alright."

"I'm fine, mostly. Tell Steve and Tony that I have Peter, we'll meet them at the tower."

"They'll be glad to hear it, you sure everything's alright."

"For now it is." She didn't elaborate and the line went dead. Bruce placed the phone back in his pocket and looked over at the two Hugging Husbands who were whispering to eachother.

"Tony, Natasha has Peter, their on their way home."

Tony and Steve seemed to slump in relief and Tony smiled "Guess we should get home too, I'm thinking movie night."

"I call first pick." Clint raised his hand a grin on his face.

Peter was back in his street clothes they were close to the tower now. "Do we have to tell them tonight?"

"You need medical attention."

"I heal fast," Peter told her.

"How fast?"

"I'll be fine by tomorrow."

"How?... No, don't try to distract me, you have to tell them, Peter."

Peter sighed and Natasha put an arm around him.
