"Aster?" Daniel calls before his friend slowly turns around with an emotionless expression plastered on his now pale face. Aster slowly lifts his hands to show off the cold mist seeping from his palms. Daniel's lip's part before he gapes into Aster's glowing eyes.

"Well look who it is..." A small smirk plays at the end of Aster's lips. "How's your mother? Oh! That's right! She's dead!"

Aster started to stroll over to where they were hiding before an amused chuckle escapes his blue lips. Daniel clenches his jaw and makes two tight fists at his sides.

"Watch it or I'll-"

"You'll what!?" Sub-Zero interrupts. "What are you and your stupid powers gonna do!?" He challenges as Daniel tries to focus on the fact that Aster can't help it. This is someone else.

"Ok..." Daniel lets out a breath. "Just...stay here." He puts his palms out, "while I call the others."

"I don't have to listen to you." Sub-Zero scoffs in amusement.

"I'm trying to help you, man." Daniel points out, causing Aster to scoff to the side before he faces him again.

"Out of my way." He jerks his head aside.

"I can't do that." Daniel swallows and plants his feet on the floor. "You could hurt someone!"

"The more reason to go out there!" Sub-Zero smiles maliciously. "Now, get out of my way."

"You know I'm not letting you leave."

"Well, you should know that you don't stand a chance." Sub-Zero shoots icicles out of his hands, but Daniel ducks in time before he makes a fist and aims it at Aster's face.

However, Sub-Zero's hand captures his fist, freezing his hand in the process. Daniel lets out an agonizing groan, and he slowly falls onto his knees as Sub-Zero continues to squeeze and freeze.

Zero eventually lets him go before Daniel bends over in pain. His hand was severely damaged with frostbite. Zero ignores him and heads out of the alley and looked at the Kent boys.

"Next time...I won't go easy." He informs without looking back.

Daniel groans as he watches him leave as Jordan and John run up to him and quickly contacted the others.


They didn't have STAR Labs to work with, so the kids had to move all of their resources to P.A.R.K.E.R. Industries. That not exactly being a lot, they didn't have any idea what they were doing, so they used the resources that their father put together on cures and theories over the years. BD-1, who was separated from Aster during the attack, was on the table and was helping them understand what goes where.

"Okay, so...Cat can't be cured. Her powers are too...lucky." Tina-2 was sorry to tell them as she helped them understand their powers.

"Do you not know her name?" Tommy asked, surprised to hear that.

"We weren't really brought together to chat," Tina-2 admitted. "I mean, they call me Mayhem. Which makes sense, I guess. I mean, there's no reason to call me Tina without confusing me with her."

"That makes sense." Tina supposed. "You know, considering I'm talking to my clone who's bonded to a Symbiote."

"Our lives are a weird comic book," Tina-2 said as she pulled up the devices to take down the villains.

They saw the same device used to stop Electro 1.0, a possible cure for Sandman Peter created, but they don't have anything on Mysterio. Due to his illusions all being fake, there's no real way to tell what's real or not. Sometimes the illusions are hiding something underneath them, or sometimes there's nothing there. But there's a problem with Death Locket, as they have no idea how to help her, so they decided to create an EMP to take her out.

"I'll take care of Ock. I already know how to take her down." Ollie offered as he picked up a device and flipped it in his hands. "No big deal."

He expected some recognition from the others and noticed none of them were impressed and just smiled.

"What? It's no big deal." Ollie repeated.

"Great." Tina shrugged.

"Yeah, perfect." Tina-2 guessed.

As they all started to get to work on getting the devices ready, Tommy leaned over to Tina-2 and couldn't help but ask.

"So... how much do you know?" Tommy wonders.

Tina-2 thought of it and stopped for a moment to question it herself. "I'm not sure. I remember key moments. School. Knowledge. Friends. Family. But...anything further than that, I don't have anything else."

"Huh." Tommy had no idea what to say to that. "Because I was worried this would be an Invasion of the Body Snatchers type deal."

"I promise I'm not here to kill you all and replace you," Tina-2 promised.

"Well, it'd help if we had a different name to call you," Dawn admitted to her as she was helping Karen with the device for Electro 2.0.

"Yeah, you do need a different name," Tina admitted, thinking of what to call her. "How about...Teresa?"

"Wasn't that supposed to be your name before they decided on changing it?" Tommy reminded her.

"You got a better name?" Tina dared her brother as she finished with the device for Sandgirl.

"How about something different? Something that nobody could mistake. Like...May?" Tommy asked, but then realized there would be confusion between her and their great aunt. "Okay, never mind."

"How about April?" Violet asked them, offering her choice of name.

Tina-2 thought of it and knew that was as good a name as any. "That does sound like a good name. April Snow-Parker."

"Okay. Looks like we're ready to head out." Tommy was happy to say as everyone else had their devices ready.

Maggie came and handed over some cartages to Tommy and Tina. "Your cartages."

"Oh, thanks," Tina said and looked to April. "You need some?"

"For what?" April asked, not following.

"For your web-shooters," Tina explained and held it out for her.

April just became even more confused as she showed off her wrist and shot out webbing from the location of their shooters and a strand of webbing came off and hits the containers.

That action caused everyone to jump and look down to see there were indeed no web-shooters, no help of the Symbiote, just clean, real webs coming from her.

"That...that came out of you?" Anjelica asked in both amazement and disgust.

"Yeah," April confirmed and noticed their confusion and got confused herself. "Can none of you do that?"

"No!" All the spider-related heroes were in shock.

"How on earth does that even work?" Armando asked as he looked down at her wrists.

While they were questioning that, they got an alert from Daniel, saying he was in trouble.

"Daniel needs help," Tommy whispered and they saw they can't all be in two places at once.

"Okay, change of plans." Mia guessed as she went to a secret compartment in P.A.R.K.E.R. Industries where her trick arrows were stored. "We split into two teams. One of us goes to STAR Labs to stop the villains, the other half goes to get Aster."

"We better hurry," April warned them. "The Syndicate was also interested in seeing if they could turn Aster."


Peter and Chester were in the Speed labs trying to get out of the building, but it seemed Otto Octavius has locked down every entrance and exit, to the point even air wouldn't be able to get in or out.

"So... how is Doctor Octopus still alive?" Chester asked as he tried to hack his way out while Cisco and Peter-38 were in the Vault trying to get the original Gideon functional again, without Otto noticing.

"He's not," Peter stated as he tried to short circuit the vents, only to get shocked himself. "Gah!" He cried as he got injured by the device and waved his hand around to get over it. "This is his brain downloaded into a computer. He did something similar back when I was starting as a hero. He downloaded himself into my body, left my brain in this device he called the Living Brain. Downloading anyone's subconscious and putting it into a computer. It was a miracle I was able to escape...but I destroyed it when I got us back to normal."

"Guess he rebuilt it." Chester took a guess.

"You would be correct." Otto's voice called out to the labs. "After my inevitable demise, I reached out to a fan. Someone who stayed in contact with me. Admired me."

"Let me guess. Lady Ock?" Peter said, getting irritated and wishing they added a mute button to Gideon.

"She was more than eager to help me with my finest revenge."


Cisco and Peter-38 were working on the Time Vault when Clark entered.

"Hey, Sara tried to use a Time currier to get out, and... it didn't work out," Clark told them. "Can't even get the word out to the others to help."

"Gideon can activate and deactivate our comms and curriers at will," Cisco informed him. "It was an updated version of the breaches."

"Where's Kara?" Peter-38 wonders as he was working on the Gideon stand.

"Went to the bathroom. Wasn't feeling well." Lois answered as she entered.

That statement caused Peter to jump, slamming his head against the stand, before crawling out and rubbing the part of his head he hit.

"I'm sorry. I think I overreacted." Peter apologized as he just jumped to conclusions. The last time Kara was sick was...back when she was...oh, God...she can't be...can she? "It's probably the Kryptonite."

"Right." Clark supposed and headed out to see how everyone else is doing as did Lois.


Caitlin and Allegra were working on getting the elevator working again and started regretting giving full control of the facility to one AI. Yet again, Karen was deactivated by Gideon, and she was supposed to be able to help in case she went rogue.

"God, I hope the kids are doing alright," Frost whispered to herself, worried for her son out there on her own.

"Don't worry. The others will find him and keep Aster safe." Caitlin tried to keep her calm.

"Not worried. I'm panicking." Frost stated.

"Don't worry, we'll get out of here," May promised as she made it up to them. "Neither Luke nor Jessica can crush through anywhere. We've tried the whole labs, there isn't anywhere that he can get into,"

"Well, we did build this lair to be secure." Caitlin reminded them.

"Yeah, I just thought it'd be to keep others out, not to keep heroes inside," Allegra stated.


A giant portal opened in the outside of the alley where Aster transformed, followed by the second team to fall out. That team consisted of Roberta, Anjelica, Mia, Violet, who had opened the portal, Tula, and Tommy.

Tommy and Tina decided that he should be there since he had a better relationship with Aster. Not to say the one he has with Tina is bad, it's just Aster looks up to Tommy more.

"Daniel!" Tommy cried as he ran over to John and Jordan, who were supporting Daniel as he held his hand in pain. "What happened?"

"A... Aster...he...he has powers." Daniel whimpered in pain as he showed them his fist that was currently covered in blisters.

"Oh, god," Tommy whispered.

"And he took Karl," Jon said as they noticed Carrie was still shaken up by the event last time that they checked, but now she seems to have vanished.


Sub-Zero froze the entire wall of a material store. A guard ran over and got ready to draw his gun when he did.

"Freeze!" The guards cried out and were starting to be scared by what he was seeing.

"Wanna end up like that wall?" Zero asked him.

The guard just looked and ran away, not even putting up a fight for some fabric.

"At least there's a guard with a brain." Zero commented and started to look around to see if he could make anything.

That's when a second figure came down to the ground and Aster got ready to attack. But then he saw he was alone with the new Black Cat with a case.

"Great." Zero sighed and lowered his arm. "What do you want?"

"Is that really how you treat someone with a gift?" Ashley asked him. "I mean, we only just met. And I've waited a long time to meet you."

"You have?" Zero asked, unsure how he felt about that.

"I'm only here to offer you what you desire," Ashley said and opened the case, revealing to be some sort of armored suit he was here to make.

"And what's that?" Zero asked.

"Salvation," Ashley said as she handed the suit to him. "I want you to help me destroy the perfect family that has shunned you for so long."

"And why should I trust you?" Zero questions her, feeling he needs some reassurance he's not just a pawn like King Shark was in this game.

"Easy," Ashley said as she leaned in close and whispered something in his ear.

As she spoke, Sub-Zero was shocked at the information she was providing him and was only growing more surprised as she continued.

"What do you need me to do?" Zero asked.


Violet opened a portal back to P.A.R.K.E.R. Industries and had John and Jordan take Daniel to get him some help on his frostbite and to meet back up when he felt he was ready to fight. They even got Roberta a full black suit to wear until they got her a real outfit, whatever she goes by.

"How are we gonna find Aster in a city this big?" Anjelica asks after they've been searching for him for a while.

Tommy was going to reply when a scream causes them all to widen their eyes and look in the direction it came from.

Aster was currently freezing a path he was using to surf around the buildings and over the streets. The civilians scream and scramble around like ants, dragging their children along with them.

"Found him." Roberta pointed in his direction.


On top of STAR Labs, the rest of the team (April, Tina, Karen, Maggie, Ollie, Dawn, Cessily, and Armando) were all together and putting the last resort all around the roof by webbing them in locations all over the place.

After that was done, they all got into positions all over the roof and were just waiting it out to see what happens next. They just saw no noise or disturbance was coming and it was becoming uncomfortable.

"This is weird," Tina admitted as she looked towards April. "It's...so weird. But at the same time, it's awesome. I've always wanted a sister."

"Yeah, I know," April admitted. "It's...weird for me, too. Waking up in a tube, the last memories being a blur."

"So... what do we call you?" Ollie wondered with his mask off as it was only them for miles of the labs. "I mean, I know we call you April now, but we call Tina Spinneret, so what do we call you?"

"Well, as I said, they called me just Mayhem, as that's what the Symbiote called itself." April reminded them.

"Ooh, how about we make up a real hero name?" Cessily asked as she was wearing a new suit designed to help her form better.

"Nah, I'm good," April replied.

"Come on!" Cessily begged. "How about Spider-Girl?"

"Spider-Girl?" April asked, not feeling it. "Nah."

"Spider-Woman?" Dawn asked her.

"Too much like dad's name." April denies.

"How about Arachnid?" Armando questioned.

"The Dark Spider?" Ollie offered.

"Wait." Tina stopped them all and knew a name that she would like. "How about the Blue Spider?"

April thought of that name and saw it made sense. Similar to Tommy's Winter-Spider referencing off his cold powers, Blue referring to her cold powers, and she doesn't have the white streak instead having a 3/4th of her head gray and 1/4th of it as brown as Tina and Tommy's hair.

"That one could work." April supposed.

They then got quiet again and Armando brought up the one subject nobody had mentioned yet.

"So... you can make web fluid in your body?" Armando asked, wanting to figure this out.

"I'd rather not talk about that," April tells him, feeling a little insulted at the comment.

"No, I don't mean to..."

"Are...are you teasing me?" April questioned.

"No, no, no," Ollie assured her.

"No, it's just that..." Tina then looked down at her web shooter. "It's just that we can't do that, so naturally we're curious how your web situation works."

"I mean, if it's personal, then I don't mean to pry." Armando apologized. "I just think it's cool."

"Right, well I wish I could tell you, but it's like...I don't do the breathing, it just happens." April explained it the best she could.

"Wow." That was all Armando had to say but kept staring at her wrists.

"Like, does it just come out of your wrists, or...does it come out of anywhere else?" Cessily was curious to know.

That also got Tina to think of it herself and remember how spiders usually produce their webs. But then thought it's best to never question it and assume April just got slightly more spider DNA strands in her genetic making.

"Only...Only the wrist, as far as I know," Tina answered before looking at Tina. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Tina supposed.

"Why do you always do this?" April asked as she got down and put one hand in front of her and placed her left hand behind her back, squinting her legs and mimicking Tina's superhero pose. "You always do a fighting pose every time you land. Like, I have a million memories of every time you land or stopped fighting for a breather."

"I don't do that," Tina stated and looked to her friends. "Do I?"

"Yeah, I mean, you're such a poser," April stated as she got back up. "It's fighting poses. You're a total poser."

"I don't do that." Tina demoed.

"Oh, come on. They're great poses. I just don't see why you always do them." April assured her.


Zero chuckles to himself as he continues to slide around town, causing terror in the streets. The horror on everyone's faces brought him joy.

He made a left turn on Granite Avenue when a blast of light knocked him off course, causing him to fall from the slide he was building. He was about to fall when a stream of water bursts out of the fire hydrant and caught him, lowering him safely to the ground.

That's when he got a look and saw that half of the kids were there, meaning as Black Cat predicted, they separated to solve both problems.

That's when the team also got a look at Aster's outfit he was wearing. The suit Ashley gave him was all ice blue, with pads on his arms and legs a light green, and an X shape under his neck that was blood red.

"What do you want?" Zero asked with an annoyed tone in his voice.

"We're here to help," Tommy informs with a nod.

"Help? I don't need help." Zero told them.

"Aster-"

"ASTER'S NOT HERE ANYMORE!" Zero's eyes begin to glow again, causing Tommy to back away. The mist seeps from his palms as he slowly walks toward him. "There's only Sub-Zero!"

Tommy then looked back to the others. "Okay, who had him watch Mortal Combat?"

"Cisco." Everyone called out.

"Should have known." Tommy sighed as he slumped his head in sadness.

"And let me guess," Zero said as he looked to Violet and saw her new suit.

Violet wears a form-fitting, black and gray unitard that covers her entire body, except for her face and fingers. It also has a hood with a violet stripe on its hem. Her arms are also adorned with colored stripes with an angular design: blue ones around her upper arms, red ones around her forearms, and yellow ones around her hands.

When she uses her powers, the stripes and the gray patch on her uniform, as well as her irises, turn to the color of her invoked aura, while her pupils and sclera swap colors.

"It was you who ruined my joyride." Zero assumed.

"Sorry." Violet apologized.

"Don't apologize," Mia said as she had an arrow raised.

"Well, while you guys are arguing, I'm gonna have some fun." Sub-Zero motions to their costumes. "I'm gonna go have some fun." He begins to stride away before a snowball hits his back.

Zero whips around to find Tommy making another one and tossing it in his hand like a baseball.

"Aster...we're trying to help," Tula told him.

"I DON'T NEED HELP!" Sub-Zero's eyes glow again, scaring everyone. Their sweet loving younger member of the family was so...dark. This was something they never thought they'd see in him. "And if taking care of you is the only way to get you off my back..." He glares at his fellow family and friends. "Then so be it..."

He then summoned a powerful mist and before anyone could intervene, he slammed the ground, causing a gigantic cloud of mist to fly off, followed by snow flying around and icicles shooting out of the ground.

They were able to avoid the attacks, barely.

One thing was for sure, Sub-Zero wasn't going to come quietly.


As the team stayed on top of the Labs, they waited for their moment and noticed lightning and clouds were starting to form over the labs. That got them all on alert as they patiently waited and wondered who was going to show up first.

That's when Electro's voice came echoing through the sky. "Well, well, well." That's when she blasted in, wearing a new suit protecting her. This suit looks similar to the real Electro's original suit, electrical design down her waists, mostly dark green design with yellow gloves and boots. "We knew you didn't have it in you, Mayhem."

"It's Blue Spider now," April stated as she squinted her eyes at her.

"Look. Stay out of our way, and we'll destroy the labs. But we'll let you live." Francine 'tried' to compromise with them.

"Wow," Tina said as she and April ran away, leaping off the side of the building as Electro followed.

"Okay, guys. Electro's here." April called in as they swing away to keep Electro busy.

"One down," Dawn said as she flew in and sped up to meet Electro. "Hey, Sparkplug!"

Electro turned and saw her speeding across the room and tossing lighting at her. Francine cried in pain, confusing her as she didn't know how that injured her.

"That was a trick my dad learned to defeat the real Electro! You can't absorb the Speedforce, and it depowers you for a moment." Dawn explained as she sped off, only to be stopped by a blast of electricity that sends her flying and falling off the edge.

Maggie quickly turned into a snake and stretched out to wrap around a pole on the roof and catch Dawn before she hit the ground.

"What the hell?" Dawn asked, wondering what happened.

"What? Don't like the upgrades?" Francine asked as she turned into electricity and flew across the building and blasted lighting at the labs. Thinking quickly, Karen flew into the path of the blast and absorbed it.

Karen then flew at Francine to punch her, ending with her turning into living electricity again and phasing through Karen. As she did, Francine turned back to normal and delivered a powerful blow that sent her falling and crashing.

"Guys, Powergirl's been taken down!" Ollie was sorry to say as he was swinging to snatch the device for Electro when his foot was grabbed. When he looked down, he noticed how there was a tentacle attached to it.

Followed by that, was none other than Lady Octopus using one of her tentacles to slam him into the ground. Getting a better look at how Carolyn looks now, Ollie saw how she was now wearing green and grey armor with black gloves, and even wearing a pair of goggles similar to Otto's.

"Oh, great." Ollie sighed and quickly shot the arms with a taser web, causing them to malfunction and let him go. "Just a heads up, guys. Octo Lady's here, too!" He cried out as he crawled back up the side of STAR Labs and tried to get away.


Sub-Zero raises his hands before large balls of hail shoot from his palms and hit portions of his slide of ice. After a few hits, the enormous ice cracks, indicating that giant pieces were about to fall.

"It's me," Sub-Zero's hands point to himself. "Or them."

The teens all glance at all the people surrounding them. Sub-Zero shrugs and chuckles mischievously before he escaped using another handmade slide as he blasted off into the sky.

A large piece of ice finally breaks, and its large shadow casts over the street as it falls. Violet uses her powers to quickly create a portal to get everyone out of the way.

The tip of the first piece hits another one, causing it to break and fall.

Tula quickly raises his arms and tries to slow it down with water, gaining the civilians some time to get out of the way. Anjelica flew up and caught the piece before it could escape the water and crush the people.

The third piece of slide breaks and everyone's quick to run away...except a petrified little girl. Since the slides kept breaking, everyone was busying slowing down their falls and moving people out of the way.

Daniel finally came back and notices the little girl and begins to run toward her. The enormous piece was falling fast, and he knew he wasn't going to reach her in time.

"Hang on, kid!" He yells before his arms stretch yards long and pull her out of the way in time.

Daniel's arms return to their normal length before he bends down to look at her. "Are you okay?" She eventually nods and hugs her teddy bear.

"Sue!" A woman shouts as she hugs the little girl.

"Sue?" Daniel smiles at the girl's name.

Sue pulls away from her mother before she turns around to face Daniel again.

"Thank you, Stretchy." Her little girl voice thanks, causing him to shut his eyes and scoff. He opens his eyes again and taps her shoulder.

"You're welcome, Sue," Daniel answered. "And it's..."

"Hey, Elastic!" Tommy gains his attention. "A LITTLE HELP!?" He was currently swinging around as fast as he could to stop the falling ice shards by shooting web nets everywhere whilst he was getting people out of the way.

Daniel helped and they all worked fast and quickly to save everyone, only to realize in the chaos, Sub-Zero had vanished without a trace.

"Great." Anjelica sighed.

"We need to find him," Tommy stated, seeing his half-brother has turned to the dark side and needed to turn back before it was too late.


Electro was sending blast after blast at Tina and April as they flipped and dodged every attack and April tried to reason with the girl she got to know. As they stopped for a second, April landed on the side of the giant pillars on the ceiling (Really, what are their purpose?) and Tina did a flip and did the exact pose that she claims to never do.

"Such a poser." April sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Francine, can we talk about this, please?" Tina asked her as she stopped jumping around and tried to calm her down. "We wanna help you, please. Before you do something that you'll regret."

"Oh, don't worry about me. I'll help myself." Francine said as she powered another blast and shot at the sisters.

Dawn was running to grab the cure when she heard the echo of a gunshot go off. Using Flashtime, as her father taught her, she saw where the sonic blast was coming from and quickly followed it back to the perpetrator and learned where Death Locket was. She was aiming her arm cannon at the labs from across the bridge and using her robot eye as a scope.

That's when she decided to have some fun and stopped using Flashtime. As soon as she did, the blast destroyed a portion of STAR Labs ceiling. But yet again, those holes have already been there a million times.

"Did you get her?" Dawn asked.

As she did so, she scared Death Locket and made her jump before turning to aim her arm cannon at Dawn. But as soon as she fired, Dawn dodged the blast and the boom ended up blasting the doorway to the building.

Dawn had a look of annoyance, not believing she tried to do that. "Really? Why don't you just mail me the flanking bullet?"

Dawn then punched Death Locket in the face, causing her to fall off the edge of the building. Running down the side, Death Locket used a grapple in her arm to help lower herself down.

But as soon as Death Locket did, she was wrapped up in some wiring that shocked her. Dawn smiled and waited for her to pass out from the current...but then she was attacked from behind, a flashing light coming in and revealing Ultraviolet was here.

"Uh oh," Dawn said as before she could react, she was blasted and sent flying into the ocean.

Before she could hit the water, a breach opened underneath her and brought her on top of STAR Labs.

"Armando, we need the Electro cure!" Tina cried as she and April were running away from Electro.

"I'm working on it," Armando said as he placed Dawn down to rest.

But that's when Ollie came swinging past and dodging the attacks from Carolyn. "Guys, I need the arm dampener!"

"Where the hell is everyone else?" Armando wonders, feeling Maggie, Cessily and Karen should be here.

But that's when a giant sand hand crept up behind him and grabbed hold, pulling him into the air to reveal Sandgirl.

"Remember me?" Keemia asked him.

"Weirdly not," Armando commented, sending a Vibe-blast at her, only for her to deform herself so the blast traveled through her.

That's when Cessily came out of the ground and was revealed to have been morphing herself to be the length of Sandgirl. The two elemental titans started to throw punches as Armando fell and caught himself using breaches.

As that was happening, Tina and April swung past and shot blasts of webbing and ice at Electro, only for her to keep teleporting at lightning speed and blasting at them.

Karen finally got back up and sent a blast of heat vision at them. But the beam was blocked by a blast of green mist, followed by Mysterio coming in.

"Mysterious, isn't it?" Misty's voice filled the air and she revealed herself to them all. "Now, you shall see the truth of consequences!"

She sent walls of fire at them, causing Karen to fly up and use her ice breath to immediately cool the flames down before they could touch her friends.

Misty then raises her hands, summoning dragons from the underground to come up and attack.

"I hate magic!" Karen cried as she flew in to fight them off.

"Is there anyone we left out not here yet?!" Tina cried.

That's when Black Cat finally returned and saw the fight going on. "Hello!"

"I jinxed us." Tina sighed as she knew she was someone she was going to personally take care of.


Inside the building, the adults could feel everything, and almost got crushed when a portion of the ceiling came crashing down on them.

"We need to get the hell out of here," Jessica stated as she ran through the halls.

"We're working on it." Sara reminded her.

As they were running down the halls, May made her way down to the bathrooms as Kara was walking out and wiping her mouth with a towel wipe.

"Ugh. I must have eaten something terrible at the party." Kara told May, still feeling ill. "Oh, this is terrible timing."

May started to put the pieces herself when she noticed she didn't look ill. She didn't have a fever; she didn't feel ill. She had a sickness.

Morning sickness.

"Kara..." May stopped her, smiling with a wide grin.

Kara stopped walking and sighed. May was like this all-knowing god amongst them all. Whenever you were trying to hide something, she'd either admit she knows or would toy with you until you reveal it.

"Ugh, I know." Kara cried in pain as she turned to face her. "I know. I had the test this morning before the party. I was gonna tell Peter afterward, but..."

May smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "How far?"

"A few days. Stupid Kryptonian metabolism speeds everything up. My pregnancy only lasts a few months." Kara admitted as she returned the hug. "And this...this isn't helping me."

"Don't worry," May said as she hugged and patted the superhero. "Things will turn out okay. We've got the kids prepared for this situation. They'll kick their asses and well stop this stupid Otto virus from keeping us inside."

"Thanks," Kara said as she broke the hug and smiled.

"Why don't you just tell him?" May wonders.

"Right now?" Kara asked and scoffed at the thought. They were in a life-or-death situation right now and if needed to, he would drop everything to protect her and everyone else second. "No, he needs to focus on this, not me. And if he knew, he would be attached at my hip like last time."

"Fair enough." May supposed.

"How's Wade doing?" Kara wonders.

"His cancer has returned, the dampeners have stopped his healing, and is currently throwing up in the bathroom." Nah informed her.

"We gotta get these dampeners off," Kara stated, feeling they might lose someone soon if they don't stop this madness.

In his cell, Cable was trying to find a way out of the cell, when suddenly a portal opened, revealing to lead him to some sort of park where ice was forming.

"You can thank me later." Otto's voice fills the cell.

Taking this moment to escape, Cable leaped from the cell and managed to escape the labs before Otto closed the connection and dampened the whole lab again.


At that same park was standing a giant ice fortress put there by the Ice Prince himself. After his run-in with the kids, he saw he needed to split them up a little more. And what better way to do that than to give them someone to rescue?

Karl continues to shiver on the ground as he rubs his shoulder with his good hand. He winces and takes another look at his injured wrist. Small blisters began to form, a sign of frostbite.

Sub-Zero managed to build his ice castle over the playground of the park.

So, inside the castle was the playground, swings, and monkey bars shaped into a dome. Zero dragged an unconscious Karl inside before shoving him inside the monkey bar dome. He finished by making a thick layer of ice over the whole dome.

The sudden sound of someone else's footsteps outside, causes a short cease in Karl's breath.

Step. Step. Step.

Karl stands up as he tries to make out where his attacker is. The thick ice surrounding him made it especially hard to make stuff out.

He creeps closer to the bars, holding his breath in suspense before an enlarged icy eye suddenly appears on the other side. Karl jolts a little, causing him to fall back on his butt. Sub-Zero laughs hysterically as he steps away.

"What do you want from me!?" Karl yells now annoyed.

"As of you don't know." Sub-Zero stated, tracing a hand across the cage. "All those years of tormenting me, a kid who did nothing to you. Nothing to deserve the torment. Even your girlfriend got fed up with it. And then you took it out on him!"

"Look, I'm sorry, please let me go." Karl pleaded with his captor.

"Give me one good reason why I should." Sub-Zero dared him. "You're lucky I didn't slice your head off with an icicle!"

"You're insane!" Karl yells as he caresses his forearm.

"I'm insane?!" Sub-Zero asked. "Is it insane to want to figure out from the horse's mouth what he did to deserve the torment? What did he do to deserve that attack in the alley? Was it because I stole your girl? Newsflash, it was because of your torment that she left you!"

"So, w-what are you going to do?" Karl asked, frostbite starting to set in.

"I'm gonna do the best I can," Sub-Zero said with a smile.


Cessily was fighting to the point of exhaustion and needed to be rescued by Karen before flying to an area where Armando created a forcefield with his gear that none of them could penetrate.

Sandgirl started to slam down on it while the kids inside tried to come up with a plan.

"Okay, we need an actual plan here," Tina told her team. "Because we're getting our asses handed to us!"

"Maggie, what the hell are you doing out there?" Ollie asked the shapeshifter.

"Trying to keep you guys alive," Maggie stated. "I can shapeshifter, I can't copy abilities unless it's part of their DNA. Even then, I don't know how to control it right away."

"Listen, we need to stop arguing with each other and working together!" April demanded.

"Okay, look, we can't do this in closed corners," Dawn tried to think. "And they're stronger together."

"We're not exactly strong alone." Ollie reminded her.

"He's right." Tina was sorry to say but then came up with an idea. "Wait...okay, we need to split into groups."

"And take them down separately." April was starting to follow her sister. "Okay, I'll take Electro."

"I'll help." Dawn offered and held her hand out. "You'll need my speed."

"All right!" April said in joy as she and Dawn fist bumped.

"I'll take Mysterio." Karen offered. "I can see through her illusions if I use my X-Ray vision."

"And if I get ahold of her drones, I might be able to locate her." Armando offered his tech support.

"I'll go for Lady Ock, keep her distracted." Maggie offered as she shapeshifter into Tina. "I'm my backup."

"Then I guess that leaves Sandgirl." Cessily noticed and saw she was the only one who could even escape her. But then she realized she could use a hand and looked to Ollie. "Actually..."

Ollie sighed and knew she was gonna ask for help. "Fine."

"What about Ultraviolet and Death Locket?" April wonders.

"Well, I already took Death Locket offline," Dawn assured them. "I say whoever finishes their villain first takes Ultraviolet on."

"Works for me." Armando supposed.

"As good as a plan as any." Tina supposed.

"Okay, let's go!" April shouted as they got ready to race off.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Ollie stopped them and placed a hand on Tina and Armando, them being the closest to him. He looked at them all seriously, as if to tell them something extremely important. "I love you guys."

None of them knew what to say after that and just went with the one thing that came to mind.

"Thank you." They all replied.

"Okay, let's do this, team!" Tina said as she placed her mask back on and races off as did everyone else in different directions as Armando placed the forcefield away and they all take on their confirmed enemies.


Dawn was currently running through the streets of Central City as Electro was chasing her. Right behind them was April as she followed Electro, using the Symbiote to keep up with them.

As they went through the streets, Dawn evacuated the areas Electro stopped just to attack the people. April landed on the side of a building while Electro absorbed herself inside of it, short-circuiting it in seconds.

Following that, Francine showed her face through the whole building like a video screen.

"You think you can stop us?" Francine asked the two as they stared at the building, wondering how they were gonna stop her. But April was confident in her plan. "It's time you met your match."

"Get her to the plant." April reminded Dawn of the plan.

"Yeah, easier said than done," Dawn said as she sped off and was followed by Electro and April following them both.


Tina swung across the roof, passing over Sandgirl and free-falling before coming across Black Cat. Landing in her signature pose, Tina stood before the woman who was constantly escaping her brother.

"Aw, I was hoping for the other one." Ashley was sorry to see she was stuck with the sister. "Or even the metal boy."

"Steel Spider. And yeah, you're stuck with me." Tina stated and closed her eyes, trying not to make eye contact. "And your usual tricks won't work on me."

"Oh, we'll see," Ashley said as she waited to make the first move.

Going in for the first attack, Ashley used her stealth to sneak around Tina before she realized what was happening and tackled her.

"Darn, senses." Tina groaned as she was tossed and slammed into some boxes left on the roof. "I see what Winter-Spider means."

"Oh, does he talk about me a lot?" Ashley asked as she held Tina down using her strength and wrapping her arms around Tina's shoulders and trying to look her in the eyes.

"Yeah. Warned me not to make eye contact!" Tina cried as she used her strength to send Ashley flying.

"Silly, sister." Ashley cried as she landed on her feet and started to crawl like a tiger ready to pounce. "Did you think that would work?"

"No," Tina confirmed as she shot webs at her, opening her eyes for a second.

But that was all Ashley needed to send some bad luck in her direction. Ashley was able to use the webbing to her advantage to swing and kick Tina.

"Look, Cat, I don't know what your deal is with my family, but who don't you leave us alone?" Tina asked, trying to reason with her now that she saw she had the luck curse.

"Oh, sweetie, I thought you'd understand how forceful an angered cat could be," Ashley said as she went in to claw her suit.


Dawn and April finally arrived at the power plant, Dawn needing to stop for a breather, just before Electro came in. Not speeding off, but hiding away from her sight, Dawn hoped April knew what she was doing.

April came swinging and landed on an old clock tower, the same one Peter used to destroy Venom in the original timeline and crawled her way around to see Electro absorbing energy from them.

"Thought that this would stop me?" Francine asked with a chuckle. "Bringing me to the P.A.R.K.E.R. Power Plant? A place that birthed Max Dillon as Electro? The place that uses his energy. This is a feast." April didn't seem pleased by this and noticed the city was starting to blackout. Her plan was working. Looking down, she noticed there was a tank of water below aiming directly at her. "You should have stayed on our side. When we're through here, we'll be gods to this city."

"A god named Spark Plug?" April questioned in a quipping manner.

Francine seems to be pissed at that as she sent a giant blast of lightning to April. April then leaped off the roof of the tower as the blast blows it up, allowing April to land on the tubing of the water and ripping it off, allowing the steam to flow and shoot out.

"Not this time!" Francine promised as she created a shield from the lighting to stop the water from hitting her. "Is that all you've got?! Come on!"

The blast then traveled down the water, blowing up the water container and sending April flying back into the wall of the clock tower.

That's when Dawn revealed herself and sent a lightning toss at her to keep her off April before she could recover.


Carolyn Trainer sent one of her tentacles flying towers Mosaic, AKA Maggie Nelson, as she jumped and dodged her attack and transforms into Spider-Man to kick another one of her tentacles before transforming into a gorilla and going to punch her.

Carolyn shielded herself from the punch and delivered one of her own. Maggie then shifts into a snake and slithered up her arms and wrapped herself around Carolyn's neck and tightened her grip.

Carolyn tried for a moment to pry her off her neck, and when that didn't work, she stabbed her with a tentacle. Crying in pain, Maggie listened to her grip, and is pulled off, sent flying off the building.

Using the DNA of a monkey to hang off the side of the building, she started to avoid the rubble Carolyn was grabbing off the roof to toss at her.

Getting an idea, Maggie dropped and transformed into April, using her organic webbings to grab the webbing and then send it flying back at her.

Carolyn tried to avoid the shots but was sent pummeling and falling as the ground below her fell. As such, Maggie grabbed onto the device that would short circuit the arms that she was leading her towards.


April recovered from the blast and as Dawn was distracting her, went in to swing and kick Francine while she had her back turned.

Francine was getting sick of their team up and sends a blast that April quickly shielded with a wall of ice, that took most of the blast, but the shockwave still sends the two of them flying.

Using the debris as ammo, April grabbed some using a web and swung it towards Francine. But as she saw it as a projectile, in reality, April was using it as a cover to shoot two webs as a slingshot and send herself flying at Francine and tackle her.

"Ready to give up?" April asked her.

Francine then blasted her with electricity as if she was throwing up. Dawn sped in using a sonic punch to send Electro flying into the air.

April then shot two webs at her chest, stopping her from escaping. Using this as an advantage, Francine tried to conduct her electricity to fry her web-shooters, only to realize she doesn't have any, and thanks to April's cold powers, the Symbiote isn't affected by the current.

"Ha!" April cheered as she tossed Francine into the ground, only for her to explode and become electricity, sending the two of them flying.


As predicted, Karen was able to see through the illusions with ease thanks to her X-Ray vision, making finding the drones from illusions an easy task.

Flying through the air, she smashed and crashed into several drones that were lined up next to one another. Noticing Mysterio herself was an illusion, she focused her task on destroying the drones, wondering how this looks from the outside.

Armando was using the drones that she didn't obliterate to hack into the signal and find where Mysterio was broadcasting from.

Karen flew through another of the drones when a sonic blast sent her flying into the roof of STAR Labs, leaving another crater in the roof.

"Okay...now I'm pissed!" Karen snarled as she flew into the air and started using her laser vision to destroy the drones.

Armando kept letting the girl do her thing when suddenly several drones came flying down towards him.

Seems Misty saw what he was doing.

Running for his life, Armando saw he was at least fast enough to get a pinpoint on where to find her hideout. The drones then started to shoot rockets at him, only for Violet to come down and pull up a portal to send the rocket back at itself.

"Violet?" Armando asked.

"Nope," Violet said and revealed to be Maggie in disguise. "Your friendly heroic shapeshifter."

"Oh, thank god!" Armando cried in annoyance. "We need to shut these illusions down. Think you can finish things up here?"

"Sure," Maggie said and saw the only one left was Ashley, but saw Tina was having trouble finishing the job.


April and Dawn eventually got back up and groaned from the explosion and the current flowing through their bodies.

"Whoo! Shake it off." April told herself as she did just that, shaking herself over to wear off the currents. "It's just your bones, muscles, organs."

"What do we do?" Dawn asked.

"We gotta cut her power supply," April answered. "Her powers are like a battery, you overcharge a battery, and what happens?"

"It explodes." Dawn understood. "Using her powers against her, classic Spider-Man tactic."

"Okay, we just need to reconnect the power lines and you need to reset the system when I say so," April tells her.

Dawn understood, but then questioned something. "But if you're in proximity of the current, it could kill you."

"Then let's pray I'm not in proximity," April stated and Dawn decided to trust her and sped off to get inside.

As soon as Dawn vanished, April started to wait and sense where Electro was gonna come from next. She stood there, getting down and mimicking Tina's pose.

"Ugh!" April shuttered as she stood up, feeling disgusted by the action, and shuttered at her decision. "Nope, not happening. That's disgusting."

That's when her senses finally went off and she turned to one of the pillars that started to spark. Then she started to hear 'itsy bitsy spider' playing just before she was attacked by a blast of lightning flying from one pillar to another.

"OW!" April cried as Electro continued to play the song and punch April with each beat. "I hate this song!"


Tina flipped and dodged an attack from Ashley, only ending in her tripping over some ice she fired earlier and slamming her head against the roof.

"Aw. Looks like the tables have turned. Some bad luck." Ashley said as she strolled over to Tina.

Tina then shot a blast of ice at Ashley, finally freezing her solid. "Sorry, but I don't believe in luck."

Ashley smashed her way out of the ice and leaped away and used a grapple to swing away.

"Oh, come on!" Tina was starting to understand her brother's frustration as she swung after the girl.

But as soon as she did, her shooters malfunction due to the ice crystals and keeping her web-shooter stuck with the web and when she fired another one, the same thing happened. With Tina stuck and dangling, Ashley came in and punched her in the face.

Ashley was happy with this and removed her mask, unshaded from seeing who she is. "You don't know how good you've had it over the years. To have both your parents. But it's your fault I didn't get to grow up with either of them." She then leaned in close and whispered. "Now I have my revenge."

But before anything else could happen, Carolyn returned and placed a claw in front of her.

"Leave her," Carolyn demanded with a smile. "She's mine."

"No!" Ashley cried. "I've waited years for this! We had a deal! The Parker's were mine!"

Before she could move any closer, Carolyn grabbed Ashley with one of the claws. Using another of the four, two of them to keep her off the ground, cutting Tina free and putting her down gently.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Ashley asked when Carolyn pulled a device to dampen her luck and injected it using the arm that placed Tina down.

Ashley started to feel weak as she slumped down and Tina looked to Carolyn, confused as to why she helped.

"Why'd you help?" Tina asked her.

Carolyn turned as she smiled and removed her glasses to shapeshifter and reveal to be Maggie using her powers. "I'm a good actress, arent I?"

"You are a sneaky freaky!" Tina cheered as she gave Maggie a playful punch to the shoulder, causing her teammate to laugh.


April was able to escape from the constant hits and was swinging throughout the power plant, using her ice to freeze pillars so that Electro couldn't conduct herself into it.

Using her senses to the advantage, running and dodging the blasts was the easy part as all she needed was to keep her busy until Dawn for the power back on and she reconnected the lines.

This was exactly what she was doing, throughout the fighting, she was reconnecting the lines and shooting ice at Electro.

Dawn raced through the facility and came across the emergency power grid and saw it had a case on top. Looking for the key, she saw it was nowhere to be found and immediately started to phase her hand, splitting the case in half.

Electro then finally cornered April in between the power lines as April finally connected them all. But she was the one holding them.

"Dawn! Do it!" April cried out.

Dawn saw if she did, she would fry April, no idea if it would kill her or not. But then she saw she needed to otherwise Electro would kill her.

Deciding to just pray for the best outcome, she pushed the button, and the power coursing through the lines, hitting the webs and shooting off towards Electro and starting to overload her.

Electro cried in pain until her body sent off an EMP blast that sends April flying backward and Dawn to shield herself from the glass shattering.

The power of the city immediately started to spark on and off, giving Dawn a sudden idea, and sped off to check on April.

April was unconscious and laying down on the ground when Dawn sped over and saw Francine was also unconscious and quickly slapped the power-dampening cuffs on her.

April groaned in pain as Dawn ran over to her. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, I think I injured everything." April groaned in pain.

"Hey, I think I got an idea to help our parents," Dawn told her she eyed the electrical power. "STAR Labs has a secondary power grid, but that takes five minutes to turn on. If we cut the power..."

"The power dampeners in the walls will weaken to the point the Defenders, Aunt Frost, and dad will be able to use their powers." April followed what she was saying.


Ollie was currently finishing his task after getting Sandgirl off of Cessily so she could get the possible cure. Ollie swung and kicked Keemia in the face.

"Okay, I got her attention," Ollie said as Sandgirl turns to him and snarled. "Now, where the hell are you?!"

Ollie swung away and accidentally cornered himself as he made his way inside one of the pillars and climbed up as far as he could go.

"Keemia! We're trying to help you!" Ollie tried to stop her but seems she didn't care as she started to flood the whole pillar.

Ollie made it to the top and saw there was only a small entrance for his hand to barely reach out, and saw his only hope was the cure.

"Mercury! Hurry! I need the cure!" Ollie pleaded as he was grabbed by Keemia by a sand hand and dragged into the giant growing pile.

Cessily grabbed the possible cure and made her way up the pillars herself. But as she got too close, Keemia started to push her away with her power.

Seeing there's no way she could get close enough to help him, Cessily activated the device before she tossed the cure into the opening. "Catch!"

Ollie saw it coming using his scanners as his suit started to slowly fill with sand and he reached out to catch it. Once he did, it activated and sent a blinding light through the pillar.

Once it was done, Ollie was released from the pressure as the sand started to fall. Meaning it worked. Keemia couldn't control it anymore.

Ollie retracted his mask to allow himself to breathe and let the sand fall out. "Now I know why Vader never visited Tatooine." He shuttered at the sand in his suit and sighed in relief that he accomplished something he never thought he'd be able to do.

Keemia then revealed herself from the sand and Ollie noticed the sand starting to form her body and return her to normal. He didn't know if she was cured for good, or if she was temporarily cured, but this meant that it at least worked.


Armando landed in the secret headquarters of the Syndicate and immediately blasted Misty as she has her back turned.

Misty looked and saw Armando standing with his gauntlets raised. "Your lies are over, Misty!"

"Well, this isn't exactly an ordeal. But I have contingencies." Misty promised when several drones came and shot at him.

Armando then opened a portal to send their armada flying back at them. He then sent a blast at the Mysterio helmet she was wearing and knocked it off her head.

"It's over!" Armando stated as he walked over and punched her in the face. "It's over." He then looked and noticed the Living Brain was here. "Oh my god..."


Back at the power plant, Dawn and April finally cut the power heading for STAR Labs and hoped that was enough to help their parents.

Armando was also working fast and was able to dislodge Otto from STAR Labs, breaking their connection and allowing their parents to go free.

Back at STAR Labs, the second the power was cut, their powers started to slowly return, and the lockdown was lifted.

"Okay, let's go!" Peter cried as they all raced out of the labs, but then he stopped the powerless heroes from leaving. "Cait, you, May, and Frankie stay here. Keep an eye on Cable for us. Miles, help them. I'm gonna check on the kids. Don't let him escape." He then looked at Frost. "Go get Aster."

"Gladly." Frost agreed and left the three in the labs to keep their traveler from leaving.

None of them knew that he had already escaped.


Violet opened up a portal near the park, as they overheard on the police radio someone of the sudden drop of temperature and ice surrounding the area. As they all came through the portal, they took a moment to catch their breath.

"I gotta say," Daniel puts his hands up and gestures to the portal. "Traveling by breach is way better than superspeed."

"Shut up." Dawn crosses her arms and squints at him.

"That must be the playground." Mia nods towards the random ice castle in the middle of the park.

"This is just like that Frozen movie," Daniel mutters.

That caused Tommy to flinch and turn to him with his eyes squinted.

Daniel swallows and looks down. "Sorry."

"Guys!" Anjelica called out. "I don't think Aster's alone. I'm getting another body in there and it's not him."

"Who could Aster possibly have inside there?" Tula furrows her eyebrows at the castle.

"You don't think he could've captured some innocent kid, do you?" Roberta asked asks.

"Hang on," Mia said as she reached into her quiver. "That'll help us all hear."

She takes out an arrow and places it on her bowstring. She aims it at the castle, pulls the string, and lets go. We watch as the arrow lands into the castle wall before Mia takes out her phone.

"There's a microphone on the arrowhead," Mia informs before she taps on an app. Pretty soon, they were able to hear Aster's voice.

"YOU WERE A BULLY! A TORMENTOR! AND I'M GONNA MAKE YOU REGRET EVERYTHING LITTLE THING YOU DID TO ME!"

"Ok! Ok! I know I wasn't the nicest guy, but please!"

"Is that?" Daniel furrows his eyebrows at the familiar voice.

"Who is it?" Mia asks.

"Oh my God..." Tommy muttered before he gazed at the castle. "We gotta get to Aster. NOW!"

"Look, I didn't know." Karl's voice trembles in the cold. "But I'm sorry!"

Aster's frozen stiff. He thinks about what he was doing, and his eyes flickered back to normal right before there was a small explosion, breaking a large chunk of the ice wall.

Zero took back control and clinches his jaw and makes two tight fists at his sides.

"Did I mention it's also a bomb!?" Mia proudly shares with the group as they run towards the castle.

But then Tommy sensed something and saw Cable coming towards the castle. "Guys, you keep him distracted. I'll go talk to Aster."

"Got it," Roberta said as they all raced off towards Cable to keep him distracted.

Tommy made his way inside and wondered what to do.


The kids were all exhausted from their battles after they all met back up and waited until their parents finally made it to the roof.

"What took you so long?" Karen asked them in a sarcastic tone.

"You guys defeated them?" Peter was both not surprised, but at the same time amazed to see how they've managed to take down the whole Syndicate on their own.

"All except Ultraviolet. Wherever she is." Tina confirmed as April and Dawn returned.

The presence of the clone caused everyone to jump as Tina jumped in her defense. "No, no, dad, wait! It's okay. She's on our side." She then gestured towards April. "This is April Snow-Parker. My sister."

"Sister?" Kara asked, not exactly in shock, but in a motherly tone. "Aw!"

"Okay." Peter sighed and saw he involuntarily gained another kid throughout all of this. "We'll discuss this later. Right now, I want answers from her." He looked over to Ashley as she had handcuffs on to stop her powers. "I wanna know who you are."

Ashley didn't seem to notice or even move as she looked up to April. "Guess you can't trust anyone. Thought you were on my side."

"Sorry, Cat...but I couldn't let you kill these innocent people." April was sorry to have betrayed this girl who thought of her as a sister.

"Don't worry," Ashley assured her and showed a giant grin. "I had a contingency plan."

That got them all confused as to what she could be talking about when she revealed to have already gotten herself out of the handcuffs and ran for the roof edge.

Peter quickly chased after her and leaped off the roof. As soon as she vanished, the others were going to chase after them when a cry was filling the air.

"Can the Spider-Men come out to play!?" The cry from the Hobgoblin asked as he came swooping down and sending several razor bats flying in their direction.

Everyone reacted differently, as half of them dodged the attacks coming in from the sudden surprise villain, followed by some of them shielding those who couldn't move out of the way fast enough.

Sadly, for the Kryptonians though, it turns out that the blades were embedded with Kryptonite to slow them down. As they worked on getting the kryptonite out of them, the spider-themed heroes all shot webs out, including Maggie using her powers, to shoot at the glider.

They were holding him back with all their might, but it only ended in his favor as Hobgoblin spun around and cuts all of their webs and flew away, cackling the entire time.

But then they discovered that it was all a distraction.

A distraction for Ashley to escape.

A distraction so he could make his move.

A distraction for everyone.

The moment he flew away, they were met with millions of tiny projectiles falling from the air that looked like glowing lights.

And that's when they all knew what was falling on them.

Pumpkin bombs.

"Run!" Peter-38 cried in terror as he raced to shield everyone he could as the first bomb hits the roof, causing an explosion to cripple the roof.


Inside the Labs, the four of them felt the ground shake and watched the roof start to fall.

"We need to get out of here!" Miles cried as Caitlin was the first one to make it out when their exit was blocked by another bomb going off.

"May!" Frankie cried and held her hand for her to take.

May started to climb over the debris and made it over towards Frankie, only for a portion of the ceiling to fall on top of her.

"May!" Frankie cried in panic as she ran over to her, only for another Bomb to go off and the ceiling to fall on her.

"Frankie!" Miles cried as he ran and punched the debris falling and tried to save her as more debris came down on top of both of them.


Back in the park, far away from the explosions and chaos, Tommy raced into the castle whilst his friends were stopping Cable.

Tommy looked around and noticed a giant throne in the middle of the room with Sun-Zero leaning off it, trying to look intimidating.

"You must be in pain from sitting on that ice." Tommy quipped.

"Excruciating," Sub-Zero admitted as he finally sat back up. "Come to plead for mercy."

"More like protect my brother from a psycho time traveler who's here to murder you." Tommy gestured to the outside where Cable and the others were battling it out.

Barry and Frost suddenly appeared and saw the castle and Aster.

"Oh, god. Aster." Frost said in shock.

"Hey, mommy." Sub-Zero said cheerfully. "The Prince of Ice is here to claim his throne."

"What have you done?" Frost asked when her son sent a blast that sent the two adults flying.

"No!" Tommy cried before turning back to Aster. "Aster, buddy, you gotta stop this."

"Why should I?" Sub-Zero asked him as he strolled down the stairway, slipping a little when he reached the final step and quickly found his balance.

"Well, for starters, yet again, there's a lunatic trying to kill you," Tommy muttered. "Listen, we're sorry we didn't notice this before. We just thought you were...mentally challenged."

"Too afraid to say insane?" Sub-Zero asked him with an annoyed look.

"Come on, man. You know me." Tommy tried to plead with him. "You're my brother. I love you, and I'd never do anything to hurt you or let anyone hurt you!"

Aster's eyes suddenly flickered through the eyes of Sub-Zero, showing Tommy he's doing the right thing.

"We need to get him out so we can save Karl," Dante stated to the rest of the team as Anjelica was holding Cable back on her own with Roberta.

"On it." Mia reaches for a bow before Tula places her hand over hers.

"What are you doing? You can't just shoot him." Tula stated in shock.

"Relax." Mia pulls her hand away. "I'm not going to hurt him." She assures before she walks toward the entrance. "Hey! Killer Frostbite!"

Sub-Zero looks over his shoulder to find Mia aiming an arrow at him. She lets the string go and Zero immediately freezes the arrow, causing it to fall and shatter on the ground. "Catch me if you can." She winks before she runs away.

Sun-Zeroout a growl as he looked at Tommy. "You set me up!"

"No, I'm trying to help you, Buddy." Tommy tried to calm him down.

"You lied to me!" Zero cried as he shot a blast just to slow Tommy down before taking off after her.

"Let's go." The rest of them run inside the castle before spotting the frozen monkey bars.

"It's pretty solid ice..." Daniel shares before Violet turns around and makes another breach.

Karl's shivering on the ground. He was so cold his lips were turning blue and his eyebrows had tiny icicles. A breach opens inside the dome before Violet jumps out. Karl barely manages to look up at her.

"He's got second-degree Frostbite." Tula shares once she notices the blisters on Karl's hands.

"We gotta take him to a hospital or something. He could have hypothermia." Daniel adds as Karl continues to shiver.

"Okay, let's breach there and head to the hospital," Violet said as she opened a portal and left with Karl.

"Then there was four," Daniel whispered.


Anjelica flew up and used the momentum to fall and slammed into Cable, only for him to raise his shield and block the impact as a shockwave emitted from the fist.

Roberta then picked up the trash lid nearby and had an idea and tossed it like Captain America's shield and caused it to smack off his head and send Cable toppling.

Taking the opening, Anjelica leaped off the ground and kicked him in the face. Roberta then came running in and punched him square in the face, sending him down an alley.

Using the confined space to her advantage, Anjelica leaped and placed her hands on the walls, and spun her legs around Cable's neck. Once there, she spun herself around and tossed him in the air before landing on the ground.

Once there, Cable tried using his guns on her and slammed Anjelica on the wall, causing her to become light-headed before being tossed off towards Roberta.

"You good?" Roberta asked.

"I'm pissed," Anjelica stated as she got back up and was ready to take him on. "Let's finish this."

"I guess dubstep never dies." Cable sighed as he marched back into the fight.

Roberta gave Anjelica a bit of a break and saw if her strength could match his. Cable drew his gun and tried to shoot her head, but Roberta dodged that and when she got close enough, she grabbed the hand with the gun. With the advantages she went in to punch him, only to be stopped by his robot arm.

The two of them pushed one another around the alley as Roberta kept the gun out of her way and just ended up dancing with him.

That was until Anjelica came back in and spun before kicking him in the back. Cable then switched targets as he blocked a punch from Roberta and twisted Anjelica's arm to try and break it.

"There's nothing I can't kill!" Cable stated as he punched Anjelica in the face and sent her flying. As she was spinning, Anjelica kicked him in the face as she fell.

Cable saw Roberta still ready to go and got an idea. Taking one of his grenades, he tossed it into the air and the rubble came falling on Anjelica.

Worried for her friend, Roberta ran in and caught the larger rubble, and allowed Cable the chance to escape.


The team was making their way as far away from the labs. Caitlin leads Allegra and Chester away as they can't stay near the bombs.

As they ran for it, Ultraviolet came in and saw her cousin. "Looking for me, cousin?"

"Esperanza." Allegra said in shock.

"Your grave cries out for a corpse, cousin," Ultraviolet tells her. "Time to embrace death."

She then fired on them, but Chester tackled her and got them out of the way.

"Stop!" Chester cried as he picked up a trash can. "I won't let you hurt her!"

But that ends with Ultraviolet sending him flying and going to kill her cousin. But before she could, a phasing hand came in and killed her.

"No!" Allegra cried as it was revealed to be Godspeed's fist.

Godspeed stood there and looked at the three as they stood in shock. The four of them stood in silence until he finally sped off down the street and vanished. Allegra ran over and tried to see if she could save her cousin, but it was no use.


Sub-Zero inspects the perimeter of the park, desperately looking for any sign of Mia when suddenly an arrow is shot near his feet.

Zero stares at it before looking at a separate playground slide. Mia waved from the top before she slid down and shot another arrow near his feet.

"Is that all you can do?" Sun-Zero smirks as he crosses his arms. "Shoot arrows are my feet? Lose your aim or something?"

Mia takes out her phone and smiles at him before she presses a button. The arrows begin to beep, and Sub-Zero's smirk wipes clean off his face. He instinctively shoots an icicle at her before they explode causing him to fly back on the grass.

Mia gasps at the icicle aiming straight for her. She didn't know why, but she couldn't move.

"Watch out!" Tula shrieks as she shoves her out of the way, causing Mia to collapse onto the ground.

Sub-Zero sat up on his elbows before he examines a scrape he got on his hand. An icy mist covers the scrape before the wound heals before his eyes.

A pair of dark blue boots make their way towards him and stop directly in his view.

"Look at me." A familiar voice scolds, sending a shiver down his spine.

He bites the inside of his cheek before he slowly looks up to find his mother staring into his soul. Sun-Zero lifts his chin high, refusing her to see how much she intimidates him.

"Look at me!" Frost demanded. "Do you even realize what you've done!?" She continues as Sub-Zero looked up at her. "You almost killed hundreds of people! What if-"

Sub-Zero didn't even let her finish as she felt something pierce in her stomach and look down to see an icicle.

"No!" Tommy cried as he ran over and slid down to catch Frost. "Auntie Frost. Stay with us."

Barry then ran over and saw what had happened. "Oh, god." Quickly, he raced over and picked her up. "I'll get her to..." he was about to say STAR Labs and realized he couldn't, but he needed to get her to Caitlin. "I'll get her out of here. Take care of him."

With that, Barry sped off to take care of her and Tommy looked over to him. "Why did you do that?"

Sub-Zero seems to be thinking of it for a moment and shrugged. "Honestly, because I know she'll survive it."

Tommy was starting to become sick of this, as the rest of the team were just as disgusted. Sun-Zero seemed to be ready for round two as he blasted more icicles at all of them.

As they did, Cable seemed to also be ready for a second/third round as he came charging in and raises his shield. He tackles Aster and goes to finally kill him when Tommy races in and tackled the old man. As he did, Cable raised his shield and Aster blasted the two of them, sending them flying and taking cover behind the equipment.

"Okay, what's the plan?" Mia asked them all. "Because I don't think we're talking him out of this."

"I've got a plan for you." Cable said as he eyed his gun he dropped. "One bullet left."

"You're not killing him!" Tommy demanded and knew it was now or never. "Let me try to reach him again. I was able to get Aster back for a quick second. I know about the future, I see the footage, but I can change that."

Everyone eyed Cable and he looked over to Aster and sighed. "Thirty seconds. That's all I'll give you."

"More than enough," Tommy said as he walked out and raised his hands. "Aster! Sub-Zero! Whatever you call yourself, Sméagol. Can we talk? Just for a second? This doesn't have to go down this way." He then started to slowly approach him. "Listen, I'm sorry for everything. Sorry for not noticing something was wrong with you, sorry for having to deal with that bully." That's when a small part of him realized something. "Sorry for not realizing we were showing off all these years. We were able to avoid bullies because we were stronger and because we were smarter than all of them. We should've known you wouldn't have been given the same treatment. Karl hurt you, I get it. It makes you wanna hurt others. And I know you're sick of hearing it because I'm sick of hearing it, but with great power comes great responsibility. I know, cliché at this point to say, but if you do this, then you become the enemy." He then finally reached Aster and saw his eyes flickering. "I know you don't wanna hurt anyone."

"How do you know what I want?" Sub-Zero questions him.

"Because you're my brother., Tommy stated and removed his mask. "And I know you." He then gestured to his outfit. "Maybe not this side of you, very well. But I know the boy you are. The sweet, innocent, confused boy who couldn't talk to girls for the like of him. And that's what makes girls wanna talk to him more." He then placed his hands on his shoulders. "It's not too late to do what's right. Don't do this. Don't become the enemy."

Aster finally broke out and pulled his brother in for a hug, which he immediately returned.

"It's okay, Buddy," Tommy promised as he rubbed his brother's back.

The others started to stand down. Seeing that Tommy managed to help his brother and save him from Cable, he was amazed. But then he looked down and noticed his bear hadn't changed yet.

That's when Aster was taken over by Sub-Zero again, causing his emotions to start overtaking again. "I can't trust you." He then immediately froze Tommy's back, causing him to cry in pain. "I can't trust anyone!"

Zero then sent him flying with another blast and they all saw he was summoning a giant blast that could freeze the entire city.

"Fuck this!" Cable cried as he ran for the gun before Aster could shoot the blast.

"No!" Tommy cried as he ran over towards the two of them.

Then time started to slow down for them. Sadly, this wasn't the presence of a speedster to help, it was them feeling the impact of what's to happen.

Sub-Zero got ready to summon a snowstorm to kill all of Central City as Tommy ran towards him, using his powers of ice to blast the ground to give him a boost of energy.

That's when he noticed Cable sliding across the ice and picking up his gun. Before Sub-Zero could stop him from shooting, the gunshot went off, going for his heart.

But before it could reach him, Tommy fell in front of the bullet and stopped it from reaching Aster and took it for him. The bullet flew right into Tommy's shoulder, impacting him and exiting him at the same time.

Tula froze in shock at what she saw. Daniel was frozen in fear of all three of the guys. Mia was the only one to react and shot the gun out of Cable's hands.

Sub-Zero saw the action his brother had done. Even after everything he had done, he took a bullet for him. His shock allowing Aster's emotions to overcome him, Aster cried in fear of his brother.

Tommy groaned as he hit the ground and slid across the ice. "Tell me...someone was recording that?"

Aster ran over and picked his brother upon his knee. "I'm so sorry! I didn't...I didn't want to..."

"I know." Tommy groaned and his blood started to drip onto Aster's suit. "It's okay, Buddy...'tis but a scratch."

Aster started to cry and didn't know if his powers were healing him or not. He cried as he held his brother, not messing for this to happen. "I'm sorry..."

"Go..." Tommy slurred out. "You need to go. Go figure out who you are...we'll wait for you."

Aster nodded, knowing he needed to figure things out, and ran off. The others seemed more concerned about Tommy as they ran up to him to help.

As they did, Tommy noticed the bear on Cable. "Hey, your bear..."

Cable looked down and noticed the future had been changed, to the point the bear wasn't covered in blood and ash anymore.

"Looks like we cashed the future." Tommy slurred out.

Tula smiled and noticed he was healing. "Let's get you out of here."

"What about Aster?" Daniel asked, worried about him, and looked where he went.

"Don't worry," Tommy said as he looked off to where he went. "We'll see him again. When he's ready."

Throughout the whole ordeal, Carrie watched the entire thing as a storm started to approach and thunder came in. Walking towards the direction Aster ran in, she knew he needed someone. Looking behind her, she saw BD-1 was hanging off her shoulder looking for Aster as well.

"Let's find him," Carrie said as the droid chirped and agreed as she walked off to find her friend. And perhaps more.


Peter swings over and looked around, knowing there's no way she could've gotten too far. He then sensed something and looked up to see Black Cat was watching him from above.

"I like watching you. See why she did it a lot." Ashley said as she leaped over and landed on her feet. "And I'm glad we finally get to have this alone time."

"Why are you doing this?" Peter asked her. "We didn't do anything to you."

"That's where you're wrong." Ashley snarled, not even facing Peter. "You did all of this to me. My mom...dad...everything that happened today, and the past few weeks has been your fault."

"And where are your parents?" Peter wondered as he slid down and stayed attached to the wall. "How proud would they be to see you like this?"

"Mom would be proud I'm following in her footsteps," Ashley stated. "What about you?"

"What about me, what?" Peter questioned, not following.

"Are you proud..." Ashley asked before she spun around, her hair only covering her face, but Peter easily saw the tears and anger in her eyes. "...Dad?"

Peter's sockets widen as far as they could go, followed by Ashley dropping a smoke bomb and quickly escaping before Peter could stop her.

"Dad?!" Peter cried as he searched the area to find her but couldn't find her as she vanished. "She's my daughter?! I mean, it can't be!" He then started to correct himself and realized he was wrong. "Okay, it could be, but..." he then groaned and rubbed his head through the mask. "Felicia...what did you do?"

Just then, Peter looked over and saw the Hobgoblin bombs go off, sending the entire roof of STAR Labs falling in.

"Oh, no!" Peter cried as he quickly swung off and made his way towards the explosion, praying the others got everyone out.

Peter raced back to the Labs and found the rest of the heroes and friends outside with the smoke covering but saw a few of them were missing. Racing inside, he found the cortex floor got most of the damage, and found Miles with Frankie in his hands.

"Frankie!" Peter cried as he ran over to see his daughter.

"She's okay. Just took a lot of smoke in." Miles assured Peter. "But Peter...May..."

Peter didn't even need to hear anymore and pushed past Miles saw he needed to get Frankie out before the smoke suffocated her.

Peter leaped over the rubble and destruction and lose wires that were sparking. He ran into the cortex and saw the room was destroyed; all of their equipment was lost to the rubble.

But none of that mattered as Peter was focusing on locating and saving May. "May?! MAY!"

May then revealed her hand from behind the holo-table, causing Peter to run over to help her up. "I'm okay." She promised as Peter grabbed her by the shoulders and helped her up. "It's okay. I'm okay."

Peter grabbed her and crushed her with a hug, trying not to do it too hard to avoid crushing her possibly broken arms/ribs. "Oh, thank god."

As soon as May let him go, she nearly tripped when Peter saved her at the last second. "Are you sure that you are okay?"

"A few bruises, I'll be fine," May promised with a chuckle. "What happened?"

"The Black Cat and her...Syndicate took on the others. Brought in the Hobgoblin to finish the task." Peter tried to explain it the best he could. "She said...she said that she's the daughter of Black Cat."

"So...so what? This is all revenge for what you did to her mother?" May asked, confused as to what that has to do with this.

Peter sighed and looked around at all the damage. "No... revenge on me. Because I abandoned her."

"What?" May asked, only getting more lost.

"She's my daughter as well." Peter was sorry to say, seeing May's face go from confusion immediately to shock.

"Oh my god," May said with a sigh. "When?"

Peter started to think back and knew there was only one time when it was possible. "A short while after Savitar."

May then started to do the math herself and only got more shocked. "Caitlin?"

"After she left, yeah." Peter was sorry to admit. "Felicia...she found me." May started to look away as if she was going to fall or be sick while Peter continued to explain. "It was a moment of weakness. I didn't think this would have happened."

"I knew she was going to do something to ruin your life." May groaned as she turned back to Peter. "Even before I knew she was the Cat."

"What am I going to do?" Peter sighed as he rubbed his head.

"How do you know she isn't lying?" May wondered.

"No." Peter was starting to connect the dots himself. "She broke into my office to steal my DNA, probably to run a DNA test off her DNA. Her enhanced strength and agility, and these powers of hers must have come from me. But if she is telling the truth, Felicia's the only one who can help me find her. Tell me where to find her."

"Do...do you know where to find her?" May asked him.

"She's been laying low, but I know where," Peter confirmed. "What I'm going to do if she is my daughter...I don't know."

May thought of it and knew what to say. "Talk to her."

"What?" Peter asked, now him being the one who's lost.

"If she is your daughter, then find her. As you said, Felicia will know where to find her, once you do, talk with her." May tried all she could to help him. "She thinks you abandoned her, so show her that you love her, just wasn't given the chance to show it."

Peter looked around at the damage and knew if he threw Black Cat 2 into prison, it wouldn't help as she would break out and exact revenge. He thought of it and knew if she truly was his daughter, he needed to take responsibility.

"You're right. She is my responsibility." Peter agreed with her.

"That's my boy." May was happy to hear and cupped his face. "Come on, let's get out of here." Peter agreed and started to lead them out. But the minute they started to walk away, May grabbed him. "Actually...I..." She then put an arm on his shoulder before falling over. "Oh."

Peter was immediately there to help her and put her on the floor in a small clearing. "Hey, what happened?"

"I'm okay," May assured him, her breathing becoming heavy. "Just need to...catch my breath."

Peter nodded and cupped her hair. "It's okay. You catch your breath, and we'll get Cait to fix you up. Yeah?" He then felt something wet on her head and turned his glove over to reveal it was covered in blood.

At that moment, everything froze to Peter.

He knew exactly what happened.

May was hit.

May was injured.

May was dying.

"Oh, god." Was the only thing that Peter could even say.

"Everything okay?" May asked, she didn't realize what was happening.

Peter reached up to his comms and tapped his ear. "Anyone who can hear me, I need help!"

But then he remembered how they lined the place with lead so that nobody could hear in on their conversations and that the comms were connected to the controls inside these labs, and they were currently sparking. The ways in and out were blocked. There were fire and sparks everywhere so even Matt might not be able to hear. The Supers were all taken down by the Kryptonite. Nobody could hear them, and nobody was coming to help.

"What happened?" May asked, getting concerned.

"Nothing's happening," Peter said, trying to soothe her as he cupped her face in his arms. "You're okay. It's just me and you. We're okay."

Thunder started to go off and Peter saw that a storm was on its way past.

May blinked a few more times and gave a weak smile to Peter before she suddenly stopped. Peter felt his heart drop at that moment as he knew that had happened.

"May?" Peter asked as he reached down and felt for a heartbeat. "May, can you stay with me? Please..." he then heard sirens approaching, meaning that he needed to get out of there before they found him. "May, come on. We gotta get out of here..."

He heard police yelling out, meaning the others must've disappeared to escape the madness before they arrived. When they did indeed arrive, Yuri was the first to enter the cortex and discovered May there...alone.

Peter had exited out of the hole in the roof and saw that all of this was his fault. Like Uncle Ben...Aunt May died because of him. Because of his actions.


Sub-Zero was right. Frost was able to heal but was still left in a coma-like state in the living room of their home.

Tommy spent the night healing, but he was okay after a while.

Frankie was left with a machine attached to her face trying to help her breathe, taking in too much of that smoke and debris. But doctors say she'll be okay if she lets herself heal.

But things couldn't be said about Peter.

He stayed out in the pouring rain, sulking on the side of P.A.R.K.E.R. Industries, trying to pull everything together. His family, his friends, everything they built came crashing down.

And Cable? He went back to his own time, to see if all of this was worth it. If all of this was worth the pain and damage that he has caused.

Ashley Moon was back in the orphanage, all her teammates were either captured or de-powered, and she was left alone. Alone again, as she always is. But also questioning something she only now starts to ask...

Was this worth it?


"Tragedy. What more can I say? What more needs to be said? The damage...destruction. You saw it with your own eyes. When will people wake up and realize everywhere these freaks go, chaos and calamity ensue. Everything these Spider-Freaks touch turns to ruin. And we, the innocents, are left to pick up the pieces. J. Jonah Jameson reporting. Goodnight. And God helps us all."

Aster was there, standing in the middle of the pouring rain, watching the report of what he has done. Looking down at his brother's blood on his shirt right now, he couldn't believe what he had done.

Walking down into the alley, he dropped and cried as the rain covered which were tears and what was rain. He started to try and started shaking from the cold and the recent events that took place.

His hands over his head, the rain started to wash away the red blood on his hands, also getting it in his hair and on his face as he looked down at his chest to see an entire puddle of blood on him from Tommy.

"Why?" Aster whispered as he shuttered, and his shaking hands failed to take out the blood. "Why did I do that?"

He shuttered again and leaned back, and his tears started to become ice as they slid down his face.

"I didn't mean for them to die," Aster swore as he wiped the tears away. "I loved them..."

"I'm sorry." Sub-Zero apologized. "I didn't..."

"Just stop talking," Aster demanded him.

And for the first time in years, Sub-Zero did indeed stop talking and let Aster mourn the loss of May.


The sun'll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there'll be sun.

When I'm stuck a with day that's gray and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin, and say, oh.

The sun'll come out tomorrow. So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow come what may.

Tomorrow, tomorrow. I love ya tomorrow.

You're always a day away...
