It was a week of Spider-Man & Firestar doing their best to tackle the feral Jack O'Lanterns with their crimes of assault and destruction that the Goblin was sending them on. Peter had gone through the week alright despite fighting the tough goons of the Goblin; but h was still nowhere near close to knowing where to start with creating a cure using the cannister that he had stolen.

It wasnow Friday afternoon at Midtown and soon school will be out for the weekend. Plus time for himself as his Aunt May would be gone for the weekend out of town helping out with Martin Li for a big meeting. Off course she would have to worry:

"Remember to keep my number on standby and stay home when you can; keep all doors locked and don't let anyone wearing a pumpkin mask or green skin in. These days..."

Off course with everything that had happened recently and in the last year in fact; she had every right to worry but still it was embarassing...

"The Parker pad is free from any authority for me to answer to Harry; so how about you? Any plans for the weekend?" Peter asked Harry as the final bell rang and they went out of their classroom together; Peter looking like he was boasting that he had his apartment to himself for the weekend which would be exciting for any teenage boy.

"Well while you are taking advantage of the freedom and probably trying to think of any John Hughes antics to get up to; I am in a hospital bed having experiments done on me. My dad has been feeling healthier ever since his company found a permanent treatment for the family's genetic disease and so it's my turn to have it. Kind of scared but anything beats being able to make sure that I get to live my full life so I can enjoy the billions that I will inherit one day." Harry replied and Peter then nodded along with him.

"Understood; hope things turn out for the best and it works." Peter told him and then greeted Liz as she was walking with Sally. "Guess what Liz; no parental authority figure for your Petey for the weekend so are you free for the weekend?" Peter asked and gave a face in disbelief as she groaned much to his confusion.

"Grandaddy of all bad timing but my family are in a mini-family reunion with members of my mum's side of the family. My cousin Tiberius is the most unbearable person to be around..." Liz replied and Peter looked at her face and realised that this Tiberius must be really bad.

"Okay... How about you Flash or Sally?" Peter asked jokingly looking towards Sally and then Flash who was showing off some football poses to his friends; they then glared at him and he replied simply "longshot I know..."


Late that afternoon Peter was dealing with Jack O'Lanterns and was already having trouble but managed to eventually subdue them; he felt tired with his suit seeing better days and saw a white portal floating in the sky and groaned out loud. "Oh come on... What now? As if I am not already dealing with enough..." Peter yelled out loud and looked as out came Strand stepping out of the portal and looked around and followed by Ohm. "This is my new normal; that word has a new meaning for me ever since I got bit by that spider..." Peter muttered to himself.

"So you are one of the Spider-Men that Professor Ohm has told me about?" Strand questioned and showed off his electric energy in his blasts and smirked at him; "You could be smarter than Captain Spider was and join me; with our abilities together we could be unstoppable... An army of a superhuman race of higher beings... If not then..." Strand offered then blasted electricity at Peter's way and he used his Spider-Sense to dodge as the electricity destroyed a nearby car.

"Buddy; first of all, I am the and only Spider-Man, I already have one bad guy wanting to recruit me and are you a new Electro? I think the last one was called Dillon from what I remember reading... Friend of your's?" Peter asked and mentioning the name 'Dillon' really got Strand furious as he then began blasting more and more at Peter with him having to get the panicking civilians out of the way as well as catch the falling debris.

"Max Dillon was a nobody; he was killed and reborn as something better... Carlton Strand is no nobody!" Strand told him and then managed to get close enough to Peter's wrists and noticed the web-shooters. "Just like Captain Spider, hiding your full abilities..." Strand told him using his electricity to fry his web-shooters and rip them apart with Peter gulping. He crushed the web-shooters and found the smushed web in the cartirdges in his hands. "What were in these things..." Strand complained using his electricity to burn them away.

"Uh... My web... What else did you think that they were for?" Peter joked as if he was talkign to an idiot but was afraid of this fight without his web-shooters. Strand shook his head upon realising that Peter was different and went to tackle him but Peter managed to leap into the air and grabbed hold of Ohm by the neck.

"Let go of my minion!" Strand ranted as he lunged at Peter and ended up going through a portal with full electricity. They then ended up in another New York with Peter and Ohm on the ground with Strand filled with electricity standing over them. They then noticed that it was in a crowded part of Manhattan filled with civilians and they looked at them with some getting phones out, a news crew making a live report and Strand looked up and saw a big screen connected to a building showing Strand radiating electricity making him panic.

"Wait; is that Carlton Strand? Is he electric?"

"Since when could he do that..."

"Is that Captain Spider in a new suit?"

"That's the portal Spot guy..."

Strand then let out oa roar of electricity short circuint various electronics and then started blasting people killing them and destroying vehicles. "... I don't think I am going to beat this Electro by letting him overpower himself..." Peter gulped in horror getting himself up and looking at the carnage. "What is happening now..." Peter asked noticing another figure swinging down on his own web and costume now.

"Looks like there is no hiding your true nature now Electro; New York sees you for the monster you are now..." gloated the Captain Spider Flash and he began dodging his furious electrical blasts and noticed Peter next to Ohm who was getting up. "So are you wanting to audition for being my sidekick..." Flash asked as they noticed Ohm opening up a new portal. "Oh no; you are not escaping again Spot..." Flash said as they then both tackled him through the portal and Strand yelled furiously as he then began floating in air using his electricity as like a force field to escape for now back to his tower...


In another Universe they then fell out of a portal into an alleyway as they got themselves up; "Okay who are you supposed to be black and white spot guy? Plus who is the cosplayer here?" Peter asked and then started pointing to Flash clearly having enough of this.

"What? I am no cosplayer; if anything you are the cosplayer!" Flash retorted as he pointed back.

"How dare you point your finger at me!"

"You were pointing first!"

"Stop your pointing and I will stop!"

"Who are you to tell me to stop pointing?"

They then noticed a figure swing by down with his webs and it was the Miles Spider-Man as he went to face them and they put down their fingers to notice him. "Okay you Spot guy; you are going to tell me where the Speed Demon is..." Miles told him but then noticed Peter and Flash. "what's with the Spider-Man cosplayers? One of you has done a nice job but the other is way off..." Miles told them and Flash looked angry underneath his mask.

"Who are you to judge my suit and I am Captain Spider and not this Spider-Man you and this Spot keeps bringing up!" Flash retorted and Peter noticed a newspaper on the ground and picked it up.

"What? 1 year anniversary of Peter Parker's death?" Peter yelled in shock and horror as he saw a photo of what looked like him older but with blonde hair and it was next to a photo of a memorial statue of Spider-Man.

"Hold on what?" Flash asked looking at the newspaper in stunned shock. "I know Parker and he is not only still alive but not an adult and not blonde... Wait..." Flash muttered and Peter thought this over as Flash looked his way. "Peter Parker?" Flash muttered looking at Peter and sighed as he unmasked himself with Miles and Flash blinking in shock. Flash then decided to unmask himself and Peter was open mouthed as well.

"Flash Thompson? I am pretty sure that you don't have spider powers... What is going on?" Peter yelled officially having it done with this day.

"The Multiverse... You are all Spiders from different universes; I have been travelling them trying to get home but Strand found me and is using me to recruit people with powers for his plans..." Ohm muttered getting up as they looked shocked at this.


Back in Peter's home universe Norman was overseeing the preparations for Harry being injected with the OZ mixed in with medicine that he himself was injected with and would be infused with the mutated OZ sample; the combination that not only cured him of his disease but made him far stronger than he ever was. The same effect should be felt on Harry and there was a chance that the end result could make Harry that much better able to be moulded into a proper heir.

If only he could be half the man that Spider-Man was; able to slip out of his grasp and was able to infiltrate the Bar with No Name and make off with one of the cannisters. Still there was always the chance that things could go wrong with him with what he has planned and it was something big. To be certain he was downloading plans onto a hard drive to be presented to Harry if something happened.


They were now on top of another building overlooking the memorial statue and Peter felt terrified that it was an older version of him that fell to the Green Goblin; it made him that much more scared of the next time that he would face the one that was in his universe. "So you can travel between universes and the Multiverse is real? Just like in sci-fi and movies? I loved Everything Everywhere All At Once!" Peter told Ohm trying to get his mind off the version of him that died.

"So in another universe or 2; Peter Parker got bitten and did the whole superhero thing? I find that hard to believe..." snickered Flash and Peter glared at him underneath his mask that he put back on and Flash sighed. "Say... Is Sally alive in your universe?" Flash ended up asking solemnly and Peter blinked; was Sally not alive in Flash's universe? He didn't know what to think or say since while they didn't get along too well, he never wanted her dead...

"Sorry... Sally wanted me to be a superhero from the beginning but I just wanted to make money; Electro killed her and I decided to honor her by being the hero that I wasn't before..." Flash explained and Peter's eyes widened as he looked his way; looks like Sally to Flash in his origin story was the same as Uncle Ben in his.

"Yeah she is; is my Uncle Ben alive in your universe?" Peter asked Flash and he ended up nodding and Peter smiled knowing that at least there was still an universe out there where he still had Uncle Ben.

"You know; it feels weird seeing you so young... I read in his obituary that his wife said he was only 15 when he started but I only knew Spidey as an adult... I wish I could have seeked you out but I just wanted to stay normal as soon as possible; I gained my powers when he was still alive so I thought that since there was still another Spider-Man... I wonder what he would think of me as Spider-Man, considering that I let my Uncle Aaron try and turn me into his criminal partner..." Miles admitted to Peter and his eyes widened at this.

"Wait... Miles Morales?" Peter asked and Miles stopped and ended up unmasking for a second as Peter thought it over. "I don't believe it... You're still a younger kid in my world, not as young as you would be compared to your version of me but still... I work with your dad and he tolerates me... Wait was your uncle the Prowler as well?" Peter asked and Miles laughed as he nodded.

"Sorry to interupt but I need to know; how exactly did Spot here gain other universe travel with those portals?" Flash demanded and Ohm looked their way and was just letting them react to eachother.

"A Spider-Man ruined everything... I discovered a portal way to dimensions of dark and light energy to be used as a renewable energy source... It was perfect but Spider-Man interfered along with Cloak & Dagger; everything was blowing apart..." Ohm explained and Peter's eyes widened.

"Wait... You were that scientist guy at Roxxon who worked underneath Krieger! You didn't want to evacuate when your stupid dangerous invention was going to explode!" Peter said in realisation as Ohm looked his way in shock.

"Wait... You're that Spider-Man! When Strand took me to your universe... I was finally home! You should have stayed out of my business..." Ohm ranted ready to attack but Miles used his Venom Blast to shock Ohm and knocked him back with a punch as Peter and Flash blinked.

"Sorry... A trick that I can do; Venom Blast..." Miles explained and Peter groaned hating the memories that the name brings up. "I am guessing that you dealt with Venom in your universe then... But Spot guy; why did you break Speed Demon out of custody earlier in the week?" Miles said apologetically and looked to Ohm.

"Strand's forces captured me and he has been having me recruit an army for him..." Ohm explained with a sigh and he looked to Peter; "I am still not happy with you but I will help you out if after this is done... You can take me to my home universe... I spent so much time travelling the Multiverse that I don't care if I just die after reaching home but as long as it is on my own Earth..." Ohm pleaded looking weird as he was furious just a few minutes earlier it seemed.

"Okay..." Peter muttered not sure if his Earth would be safe with him there with what he could do. "My web-shooters... All busted and gone before coming here..." Peter groaned and Flash looked confused.

"I can show you where to go to get replacements and a better suit big boy..." said a voice and they then blinked as the Black Cat got out of hiding and went to greet them with a smirk. "I am known as the Black Cat but you can call me Felicia..." she then introduced herself and looked her way; "So much younger than my Peter." she giggled and Peter & Flash looked confused at this beautiful woman clad in her catsuit as they never encountered someone like you.

"She is... Well... The widow of this universe's Peter..." Miles explained and Peter's eyes widened; Liz better not hear about this...
