I arrived as the battle moved to the Library, on the way passing the severed tail and disintegrating it with my magic- or teleporting it, I wasn't quite sure about that. Books were getting strewn about everywhere, whilst the clueless librarian went about his duties- cue fangirl moment. Stan Lee! Not that he's have any idea what I was going on about… The Lizard swung one of his hands at me. I ducked and aimed a blast at his shoulder. He apparently wasn't one for words any-more I gathered when he roared at me. I'll admit I jumped out of my skin, but I just fired another blast at his face. Black Widow had gone for the guns instead. The wounds healed fast though and it looked like Hawkeye might run out of arrows soon (How many had he used?!).

The Lizard didn't show any signs of giving up soon, not looking the least bit tired. I know it had been minutes at least, but I'd hoped that all this healing would have sapped his strength. The battle raged on and it seemed like it could go no for a while. Then there were sirens. I could here the police arriving, and judging by the way the Lizard looked around he could as well. We all backed off momentarily to see what he would do, then with one last hiss he ran off. Peter was after him before we could say anything and I has after him before the other two could protest. I followed the trail of destruction until I reached the bathroom and found Peter holding up the tattered lab coat with the word Oscorp embroidered on it.

"Is this why you were at Oscorp?" Peter asked me, holding out the coat. "Did you know about this?"

"Does it matter?" I countered. "We should follow the trail and make sure we get him this time."

I could tell what he was thinking, but I wasn't going to let that bother me. I walked past him and looked into the hole, grimacing at the horrible smell that was wafting up to meet me before I jumped in. I landed in what I hoped was water, because it certainly looked a lot cleaner than I expected sewage to. Walking on a bit, I waited for Peter to join me before we went on our way. I lit up my magic as we went on in case the Lizard jumped out at us. That didn't happen, but I did nearly jump out of my skin when Peter's phone rang and I tried to grab the phone out of his hands as he talked to whoever it was- my money was on Gwen, especially when he told her to make an antidote.

My magic flickered wildly and I mentally told it that if it failed me I was going to strangle it. Peter had finished his phone call and looked at the blue magic/energy coating my hands with a scientific interest.

"Does it always do that?" he asked. "The flickering."

"I'm thinking my bodies just not used to this yet so maintaining it under stress is a pain at the moment," I replied, stating something I had only just thought of.

"You feel stressed?"

"Were tracking a giant lizard in the sewers who could attack us at any moment- yes, I'm stressed," I snapped. Taking a deep breath and exhaling it through clenched teeth, I looked ahead with a wariness as we rounded the corner. Instead of the Lizard though we had arrived at his lair and I looked around the mini-lab with a bit of impression and confusion. How had he got all these things down here?

Peter walked over to the computer, playing the vlogs as I looked around at each of the test tubes and vials. Picking one up I studied its contents before putting it gently back down and moving on. Several of the Oscorp containers with the Lizard serum in it were scattered around, not all of them used. On a whim I picked one up and put it on one of the secure links on my belt- let's see how Fury liked that.

"Oscorp," Peter said in a panicked voice. I turned to look at him and then followed his gaze to the diagram on the side and walked over. "He's going to turn the whole city into giant lizards."

"I thought it was misery that loved company- not lizards," I said in a contemplative manner. Inside I was shaking though- the time was almost at hand and I was going to have to work my ass off if I was going to get this done. My magic flickered again on my hands and I clenched my fists. I wasn't going to let that stop me, I was going to be a hero this time and I was going to play a main role as I helped save the city.


I took a different route to Peter, continuing to run through the sewers and trying to follow the directions he had given me. My communicator began beeping so I fished around for the ear piece and put it in as there was a loud bang overhead.

"What is your location?" Ah Tasha, formal as ever. "Do you have sight of the Lizard?"

"My location is somewhere in the sewers and no I don't," I replied. Another bang was heard. "My guess is he's close though."

I spotted a ladder and began climbing, hoping that I wasn't going to find myself immersed in a cloud of lizard gas when I got out. Pushing the heavy metal up slightly, I looked around to make sure the coast was clear before I gave it a shove and watched it slowly topple over before I climbed out. A few cars had been strewn about but there was no sign of the Lizard or of anyone else for that matter. I waited a few seconds to catch my breath before following the trail of destruction.

"What are you doing?" So Tasha wasn't gone then.

"I'm currently tracking a giant Lizard," I said, even though I had no sight of him and there were no signs about where he was.

"What about the kid?"

"We split up- decided to take different routes so we had a better chance of cutting him off?"

"From what?"

"Oscorp," I replied, coming to a halt as I looked up at the gleaming tower. "He's going to release the biological agent that transformed him across the city."


Gwen listened as Peter warned about what was happened, looking over to the antidote which still had another eight minutes to go. She knew what she had to do and without hesitation went over to set off the fire alarm.


"Well that makes my job easier," I said to no-one in particular as people began to rush out of the building. Running towards it, I dodged the crowds and managed to get inside the building without being stopped. No-one seemed to care what I was doing as I rushed on, trying to remember the way we had gone when we first came in- I needed to find Connor's lab because that's where Gwen and the antidote would be. As well as the device the Lizard was after.

The fire alarm rang out loudly as I made my way up the various stairs and along the corridors, heart racing and lungs aching.

"Come on, come on," I muttered.

The alarms continued to ring. There was a loud smash in the distance. The lights flickered wildly as I found my destination. Gwen looked in the direction of the smash. Walking up behind her I clasped my hand over her mouth on case she screamed and turned her to face me. Placing a finger on my lips I indicated over to the cupboard with my head and released her as we went over. I flared up my magic again, startling her as I fired a blast up at the roof.

Alarms rang and heavy duty doors began to lower as a substance similar to that from fire extinguishers was fired down from the roof. The device making the antidote proclaimed there was one minute remaining and I could see Gwen looking over before I pushed her into the cupboard and turned to wait for the Lizard to show up.

The shutter shuddered under a. sudden heavy blow. I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down as it shuddered again. Closing my eyes I tried a calming technique Loki had taught me, ignoring the sounds of the shutter being torn apart, ignoring the screeching alarms and ignoring the fact that I was now the only thing standing between the Lizard and the device.

The extinguishers had shut off and I could feel the mist-like substance curling about my feet as the footsteps of the Lizard could be heard entering the room.

"Well well- what do we have here?" I heard him chuckle, slowly opening my eyes as he peered at me without much caution. "Are you planning on joining me?"

"Nope," I replied casually as I flared up my magic. "On stopping you."
