The scene cut to Ravencroft Institute, and scientists torturing Max, trying to see how impressive his powers were, as the Oscorp executive watched on. Max threatened to plunge the city into darkness when he got loose, so everyone knew what it was like to live in his world, a world where all is unseen. The scientists dubbed him Electro as they put him into lockdown and shut down his electricity access.
"That's barbaric, how can they do that to him?" Cindy raged.
"Humans, never satisfied unless torturing each other." Druig spat. "I can't say I blame him threatening them, even if it makes him no better than they are."
"Well at least we found out where the idea of Electro came from." Clint shook his head. This was horrendous.
At Peter's, May was waiting for him, asking what his board was, looking for his parents. They got into an argument as May insisted Peter stop idolising his father, that it was her and Ben who were there for him. Peter said he loved May and she was his everything, but he needed to know the truth. She told him how the FBI came by after they vanished, and said he was betraying his country and selling Oscorp secrets to foreign powers. May said maybe he was hiding stuff, maybe everyone hid part of themselves.
"I don't see why she'd be like that, when have you ever been ungrateful for May?" Ned asked, confused.
"Because she's scared, feeling like I'm isolating her, everything." Peter-3 explained. "I can understand where she was coming from, we got it all sorted in the end at least, and like I said, she knows the truth now. She was even right in a way, Dad did hide stuff, even parts of himself, but the government and her were wrong, it wasn't anything to do with betraying the country. You'll see what it was I'm sure before too long."
At Harry's, Peter swung down from the ceiling, to tell Harry he couldn't give him any blood as it was too dangerous and it could kill Harry. Harry argued he couldn't die more as he was already dying. Harry then asked how much Spidey wanted, he said he didn't want money, as Harry insisted everyone wanted his money. Spider-Man apologised as he left, as Harry raged that he was a fraud.
"I can sympathise with him, he thinks everyone is out for themselves in regards to him and wants to use it to his advantage." Tony shook his head.
"I mean he was right that he couldn't exactly die more." Flash spoke up.
"He could die faster and even more painfully though." Peter-2 pointed out. "I think that was what Peter-3 was worried about."
"I wanted to help my friend, but I couldn't risk him hurting himself, or finding out my identity through some way." Peter-3 agreed. "I knew if he used my blood it would somehow make it all worse."
Peter caught up to Gwen as she went for her college interview, telling her everything he knew about his parents were a lie as she told the interviewer she would just be a second, he tried to talk with her as she said that maybe they were just on different paths now.
"Yeah, probably not the best time to pull her aside for a talk, she needs to do that." Bruce winced.
"She was right, we should have stayed on different paths." Peter-3 muttered to himself, the other Peters raising eyebrows at his words.
Peter tore down all of his findings on his parents and smashed his fathers calculator, to find old subway tokens. Searching about the D train and Roosevelt, he found out about an old abandoned subway station.
"Well, that's definitely something that'd shock me to find it." Wanda blinked.
"Reminds me of finding out about my dad and his experiments." Tony pondered aloud.
At Oscorp, Felicia asked Harry if he needed anything, he said he needed the spiders, she told him they had extracted the venom and it was in an off the books place called Special Projects. Looking it up, Harry found he had apparently authorised research into it, finding out about Max, his survival and his powers. Harry was then ambushed by the executives with security, telling him he had covered up Max's death and he was out, having him taken from the building. Harry said he would go quietly, and left Oscorp.
"Well at least she can be trusted to get the job done, though if she does become a jewel thief, maybe that's not the best thing." Ned shrugged.
"So they're committing fraud, using his name to hide their illegal activities?" Thor asked. "Is this common amongst bad humans?"
"Well I guess they decided the time was right to kick Harry out, I assume they must have seen him becoming more neurotic with it all." Yelena stated.
"Well I get the feeling now he knows about Max, he's got a chip on his shoulder about Spider-Man and Oscorp and he knows Max will too, he's going to go offer him a team up?" Kate guessed.
"I'd say you're a prophet." Strange smirked.
Peter went to Roosevelt station and found the secret subway car there, entering it, he found his fathers secret lab and all of his files he had transferred from the plane, Richard revealed the spider DNA worked due to human DNA, Parker DNA. Only a Parker would be able to get the powers that Peter had from a bite from it, anyone else, it would only be a painful death. Richard then apologised for what he had done, as he heard Peter calling him to his study.
"Wait, so it only works as you're a Parker in your universe? Is it the same here?" Peter-1 asked his alter.
"Did Dad help work on your spider?" Peter-3 asked.
"I doubt it."
"Then likely not. I'm not entirely sure how it works, seems to be different for every Peter." Peter-3 explained. "Who knows?"
"Why is your Dad apologising?" Natasha questioned.
"Because he can't tell the truth about any of it and he has to leave me, I think he knew he'd never see me again." Peter-3 said, face dropping as he did. "I just wish I could have told him he didn't have to apologise, he needed to do what he did."
