The day is August 25th morning time back home in New York City, at an apartment in the Lower East Side, Mary Jane Watson is sleeping on the bed until the clock app on her phone is ringing at 9:30 AM, Mary Jane reaches to the drawer and hits the snooze button on the screen, she's starting to wake up from her sleep, she's been watching the place since Peter and Gwen left on their vacation in the Hamptons, she's stretching out her arms and yawning waking up, she follows her standard morning routine, she's in the bathroom showering herself with shampoo in her hair, afterwards she's wrapped in a towel on her head and another one around her body as she's brushing her teeth.
Later around 10:15 AM, she's pouring down some coffee she made from a french press into the mug, the toaster pops up as couple slices of toast are done, Ms. Lion is here awaiting to be feed, Mary Jane gave him some dog food on a dish, she lowered herself down and placed it in front of the dog, Ms. Lion immediately starts eating, Mary Jane smiled upon the dog as she sits down in the table near the kitchen with a coffee mug and a plate of toast, she turns on the 4K TV in the living room listening to the news while she's looking up jobs on the internet for her to apply.
"Here at the courthouse, we're seeing corrections officers bringing in Micheal Marko AKA Man Mountain Marko for his court date which took more than a year, Mr. Marko was a member of the Manfredi Crime Family who led the syndicate in Silvermane's place while his boss is still at large from the law, couple years ago he was responsible for a number of crimes from fencing to the murders of gun runners at the Queensboro Park, luckily thanks to the efforts of Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider, he was arrested and the organization disbanded afterwards, he's still awaiting to be convicted of his crimes for a life sentence."
Mary Jane is still looking through the ads online for any job openings willingly to hire a high school graduate with very little skills, but so far no luck, Mary Jane sighed in disappointment as she's jobless and has no money, she wanted to make something of herself out here, but had some setbacks, she drinks her mug keeping herself awake until she heard the door knocking, she got up and walks up to the door, she took a peek through the eyehole to see someone she recognized. She opens up and May Parker is here in the hallway.
"Mr. Parker?" Mary Jane looked surprised.
"Hi, may I come in?" May asking.
"Sure, it's your nephew's place, I'm sure he'll welcome you in with open arms." Mary Jane gave permission.
May came inside the apartment to see how much this place has improved, but still in need of some work like a stove in the kitchen or another mattress in the other room, May sees Mr. Lion in the kitchen chowing down on some food.
"Still taking care of the dog I see." May smiled.
"I couldn't bring myself to part ways with him, besides Aunt Anna still isn't great with dogs." Mary Jane smiled.
"So how are things here?" May is curious.
"Great, other than the bed bug epidemic going around, things are great." Mary Jane said.
"How's the job hunting going?" May asking.
Mary Jane sighed. "Not great, still looking."
"I'm sorry that Juilliard turned down financial aid for you, I know that you dream about making it into the acting industry." May said.
"Don't worry, I'll figure something out, I gotta start somewhere." Mary Jane said.
"I know you'll find a way, you're very determined in your goals. By the way, have you heard back from Peter or Gwen?" May asking.
"I did call them yesterday after they've finished dealing with this "Jaws" situation in the Hamptons, they've brought in the culprit and the beaches are safe once more." Mary Jane said.
"Still, I like to go over there and check up on them, do you still have the spare key Harry gave you?" May asking.
Mary Jane holds up the house keys. "Sure do, he gave them to me just in case I change my mind. Do you need me to go with you?"
"Sure, if you're free." May said.
"Of course I'm free, I'm still unemployed, this could be my chance to check out the Hamptons before summer is over." Mary Jane is available.
May smiled. "Okay, let me just call Rio and have her look after the shelter in my absence."
"Sure thing, whenever you're ready, let me know and we'll go." Mary Jane said.
"I'm sure Peter and Gwen will be surprised to us coming in unannounced." May said.
The time is 12:35 PM noon at the Osborn house in the Hamptons, at the bedroom where the balcony windows are opened, on the floor are a nightgown along with white panties, there's also a black t-shirt on the lamp and a sweatpants on the chair in the room, on the bed is Peter Parker laying on his back as he's opening up his eyes to see it's daytime, he looks around only to notice Gwen Stacy laying her head on his chest and in his arms still resting and all beautiful, both of them are still cover under the sheets wearing absolutely nothing, Peter smiled as he remembers the wonderful moment they've shared last night, they've finally consummated their relationship for the first time, Gwen is starting to wake up and open her eyes to see Peter awake and looking at her with a warm smile.
"Hey." Peter smiles.
"Hey... so... that happened?" Gwen smiled about that thing they did.
"It sure did." Peter smiled as he's happy.
"What did you think we did last night?" Gwen asking about it.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it was the moment wonderful thing that ever happened to me." Peter felt happy about that moment they've had together.
"Me too." Gwen agrees about that feeling.
Gwen leaned in closer and kisses Peter very slowly, their skins are still in contact with one another underneath the sheets as things are starting to warm up again and this emotion is becoming overwhelming, they've eventually stopped kiss as they've noticed that it's around noon outside, they're curious as to how long they've slept together since they've did the consummation last night.
"Is it noon already?" Gwen is curious.
"I think so, I didn't even noticed until now." Peter is surprised.
"How long have we stayed up?" Gwen is curious.
"I don't know, I've pretty much lost track of time since..." Peter said.
"I know, can't believe that we've managed to keep on going despite being our first time doing something like this." Gwen is surprised.
"I know this sounds crazy and that it was only last night, and yet... I still have a lot of energy." Peter smiled.
Gwen giggled. "I know the feeling."
"Guess having spider powers has its perks. So how was it? This feeling, can you describe it?" Peter is curious.
"It was... Mmm... it was amazing." Gwen smiled in happiness.
"I thought it was spectacular." Peter smiled.
"Sensational." Gwen teasing.
"Astonishing." Peter teasing.
Gwen and Peter giggled as they leaned in closer and kiss each other in the lips slowly, they stopped as they've noticed that they smelled sweaty, they've worked up some sweats from the heat of all the intercourses they've done together last night and they're feeling heated up in many ways.
"You smell sweaty." Gwen said.
"You too, we've must worked up quite a sweat last night while we were..." Peter said.
"I know... I'm feel the need to cool down." Gwen said.
Gwen is getting out of the sheet and gets off the bed while Peter is still in bed gazing upon Gwen's whole backside, he smile as he like what he sees, but he noticed that Gwen is walking past the bathroom and walking towards the door.
"Ah... Gwen." Peter is clueless as Gwen stopped and looked back at him. "You do you know that the bathroom is right there."
Gwen smiled and nodded her head in a flirty way. "Mmm... but the pool is out there."
Peter smiled as he likes where Gwen is going with this, she then rushed out of the room running downstairs as Peter got off the bed and chases after her, Gwen eventually made it outside as she turns around looking back at Peter coming outside, Gwen smiled as she does the backflip and jumps into the pool, she's underwater until she came up for air, her hair is all wet as Peter jumped into the pool and swam back up above the water in front of Gwen, they're both skinny dipping in the pool wearing absolutely nothing, they swam up closer to one another gazing upon each other.
"Great idea to cool down." Peter smiled.
"Feels great having the pool water all over your skin." Gwen smiled.
"Is that all you're thinking?" Peter teasing.
"What do you have in mind?" Gwen is curious.
Peter pulls Gwen in closer as she giggled and smiled.
"Really? Here?" Gwen smiled.
"Hmm!" Peter smiled.
Peter and Gwen are hugging their bodies underwater as they're kissing each other with their head above the water, Peter kisses down to her neck as Gwen gasped, she can't think of anything else other than this intense feeling of passion, they kept on kissing until they reach the moment of intimacy, but that moment got interrupted as they heard noises coming from the house, Peter and Gwen stopped as they have a feeling someone is here.
"Did you hear that?" Gwen said.
"Yeah." Peter said.
"Peter! Are you here?!" May's voice from inside the house.
Peter and Gwen panicked as May is here, they swim towards the edge of the pool to hide themselves for cover as neither of them are wearing anything, they're confused as to why May is here.
"Did you know your Aunt was coming?" Gwen is confused.
"No, of course not." Peter is also confused.
Coming out of the house through the back is Aunt May with Mary Jane who then spotted Peter and Gwen still hiding themselves behind the pool as to not let them see them in the pool without any clothes or swimwear on.
"Peter, Gwen, there you are." May said.
"Aunt May, MJ, what are you both doing here?" Peter is confused.
"We wanted to surprise you, it's not everyday we come to the Hamptons in our free time. MJ had the spare key Harry gave her, we decided to come out here and check out the place, didn't know you we're both outside swimming. Why don't you come out and welcome us with open arms?" May said.
"Yeah... about that, we can't." Peter still hiding behind the pool.
"Why not, Tiger?" Mary Jane asking.
"We're... not properly dressed." Peter being shy.
"So?" Mary Jane said.
"What he means is we're not properly dressed... at all." Gwen being shy.
"What do you mean not dressed..." May stopped upon the realization of their awkward situation, Peter and Gwen are blushing and hiding their lack of modesty. "Oh god!"
Mary Jane realized it too. "So you're both..."
"Yeah." Peter feeling embarrassed along with Gwen.
"Do you think you could get us some..." Gwen asking while being shy.
"Sure, I'll find some towels inside, give me a minute." Mary Jane went back inside.
Peter and Gwen are blushing and feeling embarrassed that May and Mary Jane had to find them hiding naked behind the pool, it won't take them very long to figure out what else they did or we're doing, they figured it's time to come clean about their improved relationship.
(Later)
Peter and Gwen are inside the bathroom next to the room where they've spent the night together, washing off the pool water they've bathed in earlier. Sometime later, May and Mary Jane are still in the living room waiting for Peter and Gwen to explain everything they've done recently as it didn't take them long to realize the reason they were skinny dipping in the pool. Coming down the stairs are Peter and Gwen all dressed up properly in their regular clothes with Peter in a white t-shirt and blue jeans with Gwen in a white tank top and blue jeans, May and Mary Jane see them coming their way as they have a lot to talk about.
"Sorry about that earlier." Peter apologized.
"So... you and Gwen... you both... lost your cherries." Mary Jane is curious as to what she thinks it is.
"Yeah." Peter admits to doing the consummation with Gwen.
"Oh... wow... when?" May is stunned by this news.
"Last night." Peter admits again.
May sighed. "Okay... I know that I don't have any say in this since you're both adults and you've just now entered a new stage in your relationship..."
"But..." Peter knows there's more to say.
"But please be responsible about this whole thing, cause this is also a responsibility too, I'm glad that you two love each other and your hearts tells you to go for it, don't take something like this too lightly, if you're both going to continue intimacy, at least be safe for all sort of reasons. Promise me that you'll both take care of yourselves when it come to this." May giving some words of wisdom.
"Yeah, I promise, Aunt May." Peter said.
"I promise too." Gwen said.
May smiled. "Okay, now that we're all done getting it out of our systems, care to show us around?"
"You know what, me and Gwen are actually feeling pretty hungry and there's this decent grill place by the beach Harry recommended we try out." Peter suggested.
"Why not? I could use a bite after a two hour drive." Mary Jane agrees.
"Very well, let's go." May agrees.
The time is 2:01 PM back in New York City at the courthouse, the trial of the people vs. Man Mountain Marko has been going on for hours, the criminal is still cuffed up and wearing orange prison suit still guarded by two corrections officers, District Attorney Blake Tower represent the people against the defendant as the jury are coming back into the room after reaching a verdict while the judge is waiting to carry out the sentence on Mr. Marko.
"Have you reached a verdict?"
"We have your honor, we find the defendant... guilty."
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, you're now excused, Mr. Marko, please stand as I carry out your sentence."
The corrections officers are forcing Man Mountain Marko up on his feet awaiting to hear out his sentence.
"Micheal Marko, you've been sentence to serve 82 years in Rikers Prison, court is adjourned."
The judge slams the gavel and the court has ended as corrections officers are taking the prison back to his cell awaiting to be transported back to Rikers to carry out his life sentence, the people in the courtroom are leaving as among them is a suspicious individual wearing sunglasses with a toothpick in his mouth is walking out of the courtroom, eventually he made it outside of the courthouse where news crews are still awaiting for the convicted to be transported back to prison, this guy found a place near the tree as he takes off the wig and reveal himself as Fancy Dan, he made a call to his associates.
"Montana, still at the courthouse waiting for them to transport Marko." Fancy Dan said.
"Good, stay there and let us know when it's time to move." Montana said.
"Understood." Fancy Dan hangs up the phone.
Fancy Dan still remains where he is waiting for Man Mountain Marko to be transported back to prison, the Enforcers are planning something involving the convicted mobster that's about to happen very soon.
Around the same time back at the Hamptons at a grill restaurant, Peter, Gwen, Mary Jane, and May are all dining in having some lunch, a waitress came by with a basket full of fries and lays it down on the table as Peter and Gwen both grab some to eat as Mary Jane and May are surprised how much they're eating as they need to replenish energy from all the things they've done last night.
"Wow, you two sure are hungry." May is amazed.
"Yeah, we sure worked up an appetite since yesterday, from fighting off Tiger Shark to..." Peter hesitate from finishing that sentence.
"Okay, we get the picture, we don't need the details." Mary Jane said.
"Fair enough... so what you both think of the Hamptons?" Gwen asking.
"It's great, the house we've been in was humongous and very elegant." Mary Jane said.
"Just like the other fancy houses in the lane, can't believe each of them are very expensive, costing more than millions of dollars." Peter said.
"I can see why Harry enjoys spending his summers out here, being rich can afford such a house." Gwen said.
"So how are you both enjoying your vacation out here?" May asking.
"It's fantastic, would've been better if there wasn't a shark-like supervillain terrorizing the beach and scaring people." Peter said.
"Well, luck you two were here before there was a bloodbath, at least now you both can enjoy your last day here in peace." Mary Jane said.
"I'm down with that, you guys sticking around?" Gwen said.
"We can't, we only came out to check on you both, didn't expect to be surprised by... everything." Mary Jane said.
"Sorry about that." Peter said.
"Well, it's water under the bridge now, I spotted this shop nearby that looks interesting to check before we head back home." May said.
"I can take you there now if you want, Aunt May." Peter said.
"Great, let's go." May said.
"You both go on ahead, we're going to hang back here for a while." Mary Jane said.
Peter gets up from the chair. "Ready?"
"Let's go." May said.
Peter and May are leaving the restaurant with Gwen and Mary Jane staying behind to talk alone, Mary Jane is curious as to what the couple had done last night, she didn't expect they've taken their relationship to the next level, Gwen could tell MJ is still curious to that thing she did with Peter.
"Something on your mind?" Gwen asking.
"What makes you say that?" Mary Jane said.
"I know you, MJ, you have that curious look on your face, go ahead, ask." Gwen said.
Mary Jane smiled and sighed. "Okay... can't believe that you and Pete finally did it."
"You mean slept together?" Gwen said.
"Yeah, I didn't think that you two had it in you." Mary Jane is still surprised.
"Neither did we, I admit that we were still shy about this whole thing, neither of us planned this but... it just happened." Gwen said.
Mary Jane is curious. "I don't mean to pry, but... what was it like? This feeling?"
"It was... magical, like fireworks, we both felt more alive in that moment that we ever have before... it was the best thing that ever happened to us." Gwen described that one moment.
Mary Jane smiled. "Face it, Tigress, you've just hit the jackpot."
"This doesn't bother you? I mean I know that you and Peter had something before." Gwen said.
"That's in the past, you're his present, I just want him to be happy and I know his happiness is with you." Mary Jane said.
"But you still love him, don't you?" Gwen could tell MJ's feelings.
"Always... he'll still be the love of my life." Mary Jane said.
"He still loves you, you know that, right?" Gwen said.
"I know... maybe one day I'll get to share that moment you both had with the right person." Mary Jane said.
"I hope so too, you deserve to be happy too, Mary Jane, I want that for you." Gwen said.
Mary Jane smiled. "Thank you... so shall we go shopping?"
"Sure, let's go." Gwen smiled.
Mary Jane and Gwen got up after they're done eating and chatting about personal feelings, they're leaving the restaurant to join up with Peter and May shopping around town.
Time is around 3:34 PM in a secret lab in the city, a number of bed bugs are inside containers awaiting to be deployed as Dr. Jonathan Drew is still held hostage against his will and forcing him to do his work on the spider venom, coming into the lab is a woman coming through the shadows is a hispanic Latina wearing black bodysuit with a yellow spider with a purple cape, her name is Adriana "Ana" Soria, 19 year old female of hispanic descent gifted with extraordinary abilities, she goes by the name Spider-Queen, she's the one pulling the strings behind the actions of Dr. Drew and these bed bug epidemics going on in the city.
"Are they ready?" Spider-Queen asking.
Jonathan Drew sighed. "Yes... they're all injected with spider venom, along with the Spider-Virus awaiting to be awakened."
"Perfect, once nighttime has come, I shall have them release unto every part of this city, once everyone goes to be, these bugs shall infect as many of people as they can, gifting them with the incredible powers of the spider. Soon the entire city and its people shall receive the spider genes in their genetic code which will be the first phase of their transformation, the Spider-Virus will soon be active and the second phase shall take place. Very soon, I shall have an army powerful enough to build a hive here on this island, my Spider-Island." Spider-Queen tells of her plans.
"Are you really comfortable turning people into your subjects? Innocent people?" Jonathan Drew not comfortable with this.
"Those people aren't innocent, then again, not all of humanity is innocent, something I had to learn the hard way." Spider-Queen said.
"What do you get out of this?" Jonathan Drew asking.
"A new world where spiders shall be the dominant species of this planet, with me as the Queen, under my rule, this world shall become greater than ever, no more suffering, no more prejudice, just one world where we're all united as one hive." Spider-Queen said.
Spider-Queen is walking away after she's finished explaining her ambitions for a new world where spiders shall reign supreme under her rule, Dr. Jonathan Drew isn't proud of himself that his work has been used for something this extremely against humanity, his work might end up destroying the world.
Later around 5:34 PM at the courthouse, corrections officers are in the holding area where Micheal Marko is still locked up, they tell him to get up from his seat, they put the cuffs on him as they escort him out of the courthouse. Outside reporters and paparazzis are waiting for the mobster to be escorted out, finally they see him coming out of the courthouse escorted by corrections officers as they're taking pictures and wanting some comments from the mobster, but the court officers brushed them off as the mobster is being loaded onto the prison transport, Fancy Dan is hiding nearby watching as the transport is driving away from the courthouse escorted by a couple of squad cars, he pulls out his phone and dials his associates.
"It's time, target is on the move." Fancy Dan gives an update.
"Good, rendezvous with us, it's time to set the bait, but first we need a diversion." Montana said.
"I'm on my way." Fancy Dan hangs up the phone.
Fancy Dan then rushed far away from the courthouse as he hops on the motorcycle and drives away to join up with his friends to execute the next stage of the plan for Man Mountain Marko.

In the neighborhood of the Upper West Side, everyone is getting on with their normal lives without worry, but all of a sudden an explosion from the local bank got the entire neighborhood got everyone on edge as people are scattering away in a panic, a number of people inside the bank are trapped as fire is forming up all over the place, someone outside the bank dialed 911.
(Spider-Cave)
At the headquarters of the Web-Warriors, Ganke Lee is at the supercomputer monitoring for any sign of trouble, an emergency alert was triggered as the fire department is responding to an explosion at a bank in the Upper West Side, Miles Morales is in his suit as he came up to Ganke's side the minute there was an emergency.
"Emergency responds on the Upper West Side, an explosion was trigger at a bank, fire department are attempting to contain the fire, civilians are still trapped inside." Ganke Lee said.
"I'm on it." Miles said.
Miles puts on the mask as he rushed through the tunnels to the outside, he then swings around Roosevelt Island heading towards Manhattan to help out the people trapped inside the fire.
(East Village)
The prison convoy is driving through East Village transporting Man Mountain Marko to Rikers Prison to live out the rest of his sentence, he remains as calm as possible even after knowing he's sentence for life in prison. The corrections officers are driving the transport through the city with a squad car up ahead, but they got surprised as a cement truck is up ahead blocking their path.
"What the hell? There isn't supposed to be any construction on our route."
The convoy made a immediate stop as the cement truck is still parked across both lanes of the street preventing them progressing any further, everyone is confused by this unscheduled work happening today as two guys are at the truck in a orange vests, one of the officers is getting out of the squad car and walks up to the worker.
"Hey! What's going on out here? There's no work on our route!"
Fancy Dan in a vest turns around and fired a pistol, killing that man instantly, the officers in the squad car are shocked by what just happened, they're attempting to confront the guy but Ox pulls out his light machine gun from the truck and fires multiple rounds into the squad car, killing the officers before they could act, the car's dash cam caught Ox in the act, Man Mountain Marko is in the back of the armored car hearing the gunshots, he smiled as he knows who's doing this. The armored car and the squad car from behind attempts to back away from all the trouble, but coming out of the alley is a cargo truck blocking their escape, Montana is coming out of the cargo truck and aims his assault rifle at the other squad car, killing the officers inside. Ox is walking up to the armored car and started shooting off armored piercing round capable of penetrating bulletproof glass, killing the corrections officers in the cab.
Fancy Dan and Ox are walking up to the back of the armored car while Montana is coming up to the back doors, he then placed an explosive charge on the steel doors and set the timer to 10 seconds, the Enforcers are backing away to a safe distance as the countdown has reach to zero, the charge blows up the doors and Man Mountain Marko's ears are ringing from proximity to the explosion, eventually his hearing came back as the smoke clears, Montana climbs into the back to meet up with the employer who hired him, Marko isn't surprised to see the Enforcers since he hired them to bust him out.
"Marko, this is your stop." Montana said.
Montana helps Marko up on his feet and takes him outside of the armored car, Marko is still cuffed as Ox came up and uses his extraordinary strength to break the cuffs off his employer, the Enforcers hears police sirens from a distance, they're escorting Marko away as they hopped into the back of the cargo truck where three motocross bikes are parked, each of the Enforcers hop onto bikes with Marko riding in the back with Montana, the Enforcers drives out of the back and rides through the sidewalk as civilians are jumping away until the Enforcers finally made it on the streets and rides far away to escape the manhunt.
(Upper West Side)
The bank in Upper West Side is on fire as the fire department are doing everything they can to contain the fire trapping the people inside, all of a sudden Kid Arachnid finally arrived and jumped through above the flames where civilians are scared for their lives unable to escape the inferno until the hero finally arrived, he took in two people and swings out of the bank to safety, he then goes back to fetch two more people still trapped inside, the firefighter are hosing down the flames at the entrance as the flames are dying out, Kid Arachnid spotted an opening as he escorts the civilians out of the bank still on fire, firefighters and paramedics are coming to help the injured, Kid Arachnid is walking out one civilian coughing out smoke trying to breathe in oxygen.
"Easy, you're okay. Did you see what happened?" Kid Arachnid asking.
"No, everything was just normal, then all of a sudden there was an explosion and there was fire everywhere."
"Did you see who trigger it? Anything taken from here?" Kid Arachnid said.
"No, nothing was taken, we didn't see anyone stealing anything."
"This doesn't make sense." Kid Arachnid is confused by this logic.
"Kid Arachnid, are you there?" Ganke Lee calling out.
"Yeah, I'm here." Kid Arachnid responded.
"You need to head for East Village right away, something terrible has happened." Ganke Lee said.
"I'm on my way." Kid Arachnid said.
(East Village)
Later back in East Village, the prison convoy has turned into a crime scene where C.S.I.'s are examining shell castings on the streets and shattered bulletproof glass, they're pulling armor piercing rounds out of the hull, corners are zipping up dead bodies of deceased officers, Captain Watanabe is here examining the footage from the cruiser's dash cam of one of the assailant responsible for killing the officers, Yuri immediately recognized him as one of the Enforcers. Coming in swinging is Kid Arachnid as he made it to the crime scene, he's stunned to find dead police officers here all riddle with bullets.
"My god." Kid Arachnid is stunned.
"Kid Arachnid, glad you could join us." Yuri Watanabe said.
"What happened here?" Kid Arachnid asking.
Yuri holds up a tablet showing information. "Corrections were transporting convicted mobster Micheal Marko AKA Man Mountain Marko to Rikers until their convoy got hit, shot up the squad cars from both sides, including the armored car, must've used armored piercing rounds, the only suspect we got is this man, Raymond Bloch AKA Ox, he's a member of a team of mercenary called the Enforcers."
"I heard of these guys, they're the team that stormed Midtown High three years ago." Kid Arachnid is familiar.
"And they even robbed from the Life Foundation for Arcade last year." Yuri Watanabe said.
"How could I forget, what about this guy they busted out?" Kid Arachnid said.
"Micheal Marko, goes by his street name Man Mountain Marko, he was the acting boss of the Manfredi Crime Family more than a year ago, he was responsible for the murders of gun runners and stole their entire inventory, he had a couple of confrontations with Spider-Man and faced him head on thanks to all the performance enhancements he's been taking, but thanks to your two friends, he was arrested and his organization fell afterwards, his trial date took too long to set up, he was recently convicted and was sent back to Rikers before this whole disaster happened." Yuri Watanabe explained.
"This was no coincidence that an explosion happened far out in Upper West Side when this went down, the Enforcers had to been behind the bombing, it was all a diversion to draw me away while they're breaking out this guy, should've seen this coming." Kid Arachnid said.
"Don't be too hard on yourself, Kid, none of us saw this coming, but this became very personal for the NYPD, there are consequences for killing cops, we've already sent out a citywide manhunt, we've locked down the bridges and tunnels and sent out his picture to the media, he won't get far, we'll catch him eventually, have some patience." Yuri Watanabe said.
"I might as well join in on the manhunt for this Roid Nut." Kid Arachnid said.
Kid Arachnid fires off a line and swings away from the crime screen to search for the missing mobster and his team of mercs, police are all over this as they want to bring in this man and his goons to justice for the murders of police officers that lost their lives today.
Later around 6:35 PM in a warehouse near the water in Kips Bay, the Enforcers are taking refuge here hiding from the authorities as a massive manhunt for them is on for the murders of police officers, helicopters are patrolling around the city, Man Mountain Marko changed out of his prison uniform and into regular clothes as everyone can hear the helicopters in the sky, Fancy Dan is taking a peek out the window to see the helicopter passing by as nobody has found them yet.
"Are they gone?" Montana asking.
"They're gone, coast is clear for now." Fancy Dan said.
"Killing cops isn't the smart move, Montana." Man Mountain Marko said.
"It's either that or spent life in prison, that's what you paid us for, Marko, to break you out by any means necessary." Montana said.
"And now we have too much heat on us, the NYPD won't rest until we're all in cuffs." Man Mountain Marko said.
"Which is why we need to stay hidden till we can get you out of dodge. This place may not be fancy, but nobody is going to be looking for us here, it's off the grid." Montana said.
"Good, looks like hiring you guys was money well spent." Man Mountain Marko said.
"You already paid us half to do the work, the other half is once the job is done and we're far away in a country without extradition. So get comfortable, we'll need our beauty rest for tomorrow to find a way out of the city." Montana said.
Man Mountain Marko looks around to see some old bunks here. "Seriously? This is best you can do?"
"Sorry if it ain't pretty, but it'll have to do for now." Montana said.
Man Mountain Marko sighed. "Screw it."
Marko got down on the bunk and gets some rest while the Enforcers are on lookout in case the police finds them, Marko is resting as unknown to anyone bed bugs are coming in towards the bunk where Marko is sleeping and towards the other bunks.
Time is 7:23 PM in Lower East Side, Mary Jane enters the apartment, she just returned back from the Hamptons with May as Ms. Lions is barking with a smile, MJ got down to pet her dog happy to see her, they're walking up to the living room and sat down on the couch, MJ picked up the remote to check the news on the TV, they became shocked to find out that Man Mountain Marko escaped with the help of the Enforcers, a manhunt is happening all over Manhattan.
"Earlier today, convicted mobster Micheal Marko has escaped from police custody with the assistance of wanted fugitives calling themselves the Enforcers, a massive manhunt is on for these four fugitives for the murders of police officers transporting the escapee as well as the bombing of the Upper West Side bank, they are consider to be armed and very dangerous, if you see them, contact the authorities and do not approach them."
"My god... this is terrible." May is stunned.
"I know, it's no surprise those guys are capable of killing cops, they were brazen enough to hold an entire school hostage, almost killed Gwen too, they'll do anything for money, they have no code of honor." Mary Jane remembers the Enforcers and what they're capable of.
Mary Jane started calling Miles for information on this case, the phone is still ringing as Mary Jane puts it on speaker.
"Hello?" Miles answered the call.
"Hey Miles, we just got back from the Hamptons, we heard about this incident on the news." Mary Jane said.
"Yeah, this whole thing caught us by surprise, was too busy saving people at the bank to noticed the breakout happening elsewhere, I'm already out on patrol looking for these criminals. Do you think Peter and Gwen knows yet?" Miles said.
"No, and I don't think we should tell them, they've already had their vacation interrupted yesterday, let's let them enjoy their last night together, they'll be back tomorrow morning and we'll tell them everything, but for now say nothing." May said.
"I get it, alright, I'll patrol around for a while and then I'll head back home." Miles said.
"Thanks Miles, good luck." Mary Jane hangs up the phone and turns to May. "I'll be the one to tell them when they get back from the Hamptons.
"Meanwhile they're all alone back there, can't believe they've actually..." May said.
"I know, this took me by surprise too. But they've been together for so long, you must've know this was bound to happen eventually." Mary Jane said.
May sighed."I know... well, I should head on back home and rest, I need to be up in the morning for work. Thank you for coming with me to the Hamptons."
"Anytime, Mrs. Parker, have a good night." Mary Jane said.
"You too, MJ." May said before leaving the apartment.
Mary Jane closed the door behind May leaving, now it's just her and Ms. Lion as Mary Jane heads towards the bathroom to get cleaned up for bed, unknown to anyone bed bugs are coming out of the walls as they're making their way to the only mattress bed here.
Later around 8:30 PM back in the Hamptons at the Osborn house, Peter Parker is in the bathtub with Gwen Stacy with her hair tied up, she's resting her back against his chest as bubbles are forming all around the water and candles are lit up giving off a bright theme, both of them are enjoying a wonderful bubble bath together, Peter has his right arm across Gwen's chest covered in bubbles, their skins are all wet from the water.
"This is nice, taking a bubble bath in this expensive tub on our last night." Gwen smiled.
Peter smiled and sighed. "Can't believe that this is almost over, I'm actually enjoying our vacation together, I really don't want to leave."
"Me neither, but we both have lives to get back to, we can't let Miles do all the hero work alone and college is about to start soon." Gwen said.
"You got a point, New York still needs a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man looking out for the people, but I won't forget that one great night we had together." Peter smiled.
"I won't forget it either, Pete, it was wonderful, I'll remember it always." Gwen smiled.
"Well... since it's our last night here, we might as well make another memory while we still can." Peter then kisses Gwen's neck.
Gwen closes her eyes as Peter's lips on her neck as she gasp from the intense feeling, she then turns her head as Peter raise his head up to her lips, they've started kissing each other, Gwen turns herself around and pressed her body against Peter's and locked her arms around his neck as they're getting very intimate and decided to do intercourse in the tub, they're kissing against one another as bubble water is splashing out of the tub from all the moving they're doing inside it.
(Later)
A couple hours later after they're done bathing and having intercourse in the tub, they've ended up in the bedroom on the king size bed underneath the sheets as Peter and Gwen are sleeping together, Gwen resting her head against his chest as Peter is still awake thinking about what they've done in the tub, it was amazing like before, Peter kissed Gwen on the forehead as she's still sleeping in his arm.
"I love you, Gwen Stacy." Peter said before he closes his eyes and sleeps with Gwen.
Time is 11:02 PM in Washington Heights as Anya Corazon is in her room watching the news on the laptop of the escaped convict and his team of mercenaries still at large as every cop in the city is out looking for them for the murders of police officers, she recognized the three criminals as the same one who invade Midtown High three years ago, the day that Spider-Man first appeared and saved the day. All of a sudden, her phone is ringing as she closed the laptop and sets it on the drawer to see that it's her dad calling as he's still out in the city on a job.
"Hola Papa." Anya said.
"Anya, are you still at home?" Gilberto asking.
"Si Papa, I'm here at home alone. What about you?" Anya asking.
"I'm still out working on this story about criminals still on the loose for killing cops." Gilberto said.
"I heard, it's terrible." Anya said.
"I know, so stay there at home and don't open the door for anyone, alright?" Gilberto said.
"I will, Papa, promise." Anya said.
"Okay, I gotta go, get to bed and don't let the bed bugs bite." Gilberto said.
"Si Papa, goodnight." Anya said.
"Goodnight, Anya." Gilberto said before hanging up.
Anya puts away her phone on the drawer as she stretches her arms and yawns as she's feeling sleepy, she climbs onto the bed and covers herself in a blanket, she switched off the lamp as everything went dark. Anya is sleeping for the night as unknown to her, coming out of the walls are a few bed bugs making their way towards the bed Anya is sleeping in. Anya is still asleep with her eyes completely closed as the bed bug managed to climb onto the bed and makes it's way towards the person for him to infect, the bed bug managed to make contact with her skin and injects spider venom into her bloodstream as Anya is feeling something happening to her in her sleep, her DNA has been bonded with that of a spider and she's mutating into something else.
The day is August 26th, time is 6:30 AM in the morning in the Hamptons as the sun is rising over the ocean, meanwhile at the Osborn house in the bedroom, Peter and Gwen are already up and out of bed, they're dressing up in their regular clothes, Peter still dressed in black moto racer jacket with white t-shirt and blue jeans with Gwen dressed in blue jean jacket with a white tank top and blue jeans as all their luggage are in the duffel bag as they're preparing their trip back home to New York City to their regular lives as heroes, their vacation just ended on this day as Peter looks upon the bed he and Gwen first slept together for the first time, it's the one moment they'll treasure forever.
Peter sighed. "It'll be sad leaving this place, all the memories we've made together."
"I know the feeling, but we'll make new memories in the future, count on that." Gwen smiled.
Peter smiled warmly. "Right... let's go home."
Peter and Gwen finished packing and are leaving the bedroom making their way downstairs towards the front door. They've made it outside and closed the door behind them locking it up tightly as their time here is officially over, the motorcycle is still parked in the driveway as Peter has the keys in his hand, but Gwen swiped them from his hands as Peter says "Hey!", Gwen hops onto the seat as she's the one taking the wheel, she turned on the ignition and start the bike's engine, Gwen smiles as she likes the feeling of taking the handlebars and rolling the throttle, making the engine roar.
"This feels great." Gwen smiled on the motorcycle.
"I know the feeling." Peter can relate.
"Hop on." Gwen telling Peter.
Peter is surprised. "Really?"
"What's the matter, Pete? Afraid to ride in the back with a woman driving?" Gwen teasing.
Peter smiled and sighed. "I guess it wouldn't be the first time I've put my life in your hands."
Peter walks up and hops on the back with Gwen driving the motorcycle, Peter hands Gwen the helmet as he got his, they put them on their heads and Peter is carrying the duffel bag this time, Peter got a hold of Gwen's waist as they're all set for their trip home.
"Ready?" Gwen asking Peter in the back.
"Ready!" Peter is holding on tight.
Gwen released the brake and rolls the throttle, they're driving away from the house and through the driveway leaving the premise. They're riding through the street leaving billionaire lane and through town until they made it on the highway as the couple are heading back home to New York, Gwen is still driving the motorcycle with Peter holding on tightly, he's smiling as he love this feeling of Gwen doing the driving this time, he's got no complains riding in the back with his girlfriend driving the bike.
Meanwhile back in New York City in Washington Heights at the apartment of the Anya and Gilberto Corazon, time is 7 AM morning time as Anya is still asleep in bed, she heard the alarm clock ringing very loudly, Anya slams her hand on the snooze button hard without noticing her strength level is higher than ever, she smashed it into pieces as she's stretching out her arms and yawns as she's waking up from her deep sleep. She's getting off her bed and makes her way to the bathroom, she looks herself in the mirror to notice something small and red on her right arm, a bite mark that could only come from a bed bug, she's been bitten last night in her sleep.
Anya sighed in disappointment. "So much for not letting the bed bugs bite."
Anya ignores it and reaches for the toothbrush and the toothpaste, she squeezed it hard as toothpaste came spitting on the mirror, Anya is shock by what just happened, but she scrap it off with her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth, she turns on the faucet and water came out, she drank in some water and rinses her mouth full of toothpaste, she then spits it down into the sink. She attempts to put the toothbrush back into the cup but finds out that she can't separate her hand from it as it's stuck for some reason, Anya has no idea what's going on as she's using her other hand to force the toothbrush off her hand, Anya looks upon her hand confused as to what just happened.
"What the hell?" Anya said in Spanish.
Anya checks out her hand to figure out what happened to it, she pressed her two index fingers together as webbing came out of her wrist and covered up the mirror, Anya looked shocked by what she just did, she created webbing out of her own body, organic webbing to be precise, she can do the web shooting in the same manner Spider-Man does somewhat, she then uses the same finger movement that trigger webbing and it fired off her wrist again, creating more webbing.
"How did I..." Anya is still processing it.
Anya walks out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom as so far she can cling and fire organic webbing from her wrist.
"I wonder..." Anya is curious.
Anya became more curious as to what else she can do, she positioned herself in a three point stance as she's about to make her move, she then jumps up and lands on the ceiling, clinging upside down, she's able to stick to wall or ceilings exactly like Spider-Man, somehow she gained the same powers as him, she smiled as she likes these new gifts of hers.
Later around 9:04 AM as the motorcycle Gwen is driving with Peter on the back is riding through the Brooklyn Bridge entering the island of Manhattan until they've got off the bridge and driving around the city heading back to their neighborhood in Lower East Side, eventually they've arrived and entered the neighborhood until they've finally arrived outside their apartment, Gwen parked the bike in the parking lane as the couple are feeling exhausted after having a long drive together, Peter is happy being driven around by Gwen.
"Here we are, home sweet home." Gwen still on the bike.
"And here I was getting used to being driven around by my girlfriend." Peter smiled
"Next time, Pete." Gwen smiled.
"Hey, why don't we make a moment of out this." Peter holding up a smartphone.
"Sure, why not?" Gwen said.
The couple stayed on the bike as Peter is holding up the phone for a selfie, Peter and Gwen smiled as the photo is taken of them on the bike together, they got off the bike after it's parked and the engines are off, they made their way inside the apartment building, they're climbing up the stairs towards their apartment they've share together until they've finally arrived at their apartment door.
"GO AWAY!" Mary Jane saying from inside.
"MJ, it's just us, Peter and Gwen." Peter saying outside the apartment.
"Oh... sorry Tiger, didn't mean to snap." Mary Jane saying inside.
"MJ, are you okay?" Peter is worried.
"I'm not sure... something strange happened to me." Mary Jane saying inside.
"What do you mean by strange?" Peter is curious.
"I think you guys should come in and see for yourselves." Mary Jane saying inside.
Peter and Gwen has no idea what Mary Jane is talking about until they've unlocked the door and entered their apartment to see Mary Jane standing upside down with her feet clinging to the ceiling with her hair pointing down, this whole thing caught them by surprise as Mary Jane is able to cling to anything just like they can, from what they could tell, Mary Jane ended up having the same abilities as them.
"What the..." Peter is stunned.
"I know, even I said the same thing." Mary Jane upside down.
Coming out of the bedroom is Ms. Lion walking on the ceiling just like Mary Jane is, even the dog gained spider powers.
"Even Ms. Lion?" Gwen is surprised.
"What happened?" Peter is curious.
"Honestly Tiger, I don't know how this happened, I just woke up this morning and found out that I could things exactly like you can." Mary Jane upside down.
"Were you bitten by a spider by any chance?" Peter is curious.
"No, if I did, I would've felt a bite." Mary Jane said.
Everyone then heard commotion happening outside, Mary Jane lets her feet loose and drops down landing a three point stance as all three of them rushed to the bedroom window to see that a number of people are swinging around the city using webbing and other are walking on walls using clinging, it's not just Mary Jane and Ms. Lion who gained spider powers, everyone of all ages in Manhattan did, the elderly and even kids all are infected with spider powers, including cats and dogs.
"Oh man." Peter is more stunned.
"This is crazy." Gwen is stunned.
"So it's not just me, everyone has them. How is this possible?" Mary Jane is also stunned until she spotted a bite mark on her arm and sighed in disappointment.
"What's wrong?" Gwen asking.
Mary Jane sighed in disappointment. "These damn bed bugs epidemics are doing damage to my skin, damn bloodsuckers."
Peter then realized something. "MJ, have been bitten by other bed bugs before this morning?"
"No, why?" Mary Jane said.
"What are you thinking?" Gwen is curious.
Peter walks up to the mattress Mary Jane slept in and checks for any bed bugs, he spotted only one as he went to the bathroom for a tool, he went back and used it to picked up a bed bug, he holds up for everyone to see.
"I have a feeling these aren't regular bed bugs, I want to take a closer look to be sure." Peter holding up a bed bug.
"You're thinking that these bed bugs can somehow give people spider powers?" Gwen said.
"Not sure yet, but with these bed bug epidemic going on, this can't be a coincidence. Normally getting powers like us are accidental, this seems more intentional." Peter said.
"Someone wanted to give everyone powers like us, but why?" Gwen said.
"I don't know, but we need to get to the bottom of this before it's too late. I know someone who could be a great help to us." Peter said.
"You're talking about Dr. Connors?" Gwen suspects.
"He's helped us before, he's an expert when it comes to this stuff. Let's suit up." Peter said.
"Ah... maybe this could be one of those times you all don't need to suit up." Mary Jane suggested.
"What do you mean?" Peter is curious.
"Since everyone has spider powers for the day, you both can blend in without your costumes on and no one would even noticed." Mary Jane said.
"She seems to have a good point." Gwen said.
"Okay, let's go." Peter said.
"Hey, mind if I tag along?" Mary Jane asking.
"You sure about this?" Peter said.
"It's not everyday I gained powers like you both, I might as well make the most of it while I still can." Mary Jane is being enthusiastic.
Peter sighed and smiled. "Okay, try to keep up."
Peter opens up a window as he, Gwen, and Mary Jane are getting ready to jump, Peter and Gwen still have web shooters on their wrists and fired off a line, Mary Jane on the other hand tries it out for herself, she saw other people doing webbing without web shooters, she used the same finger movement Peter and Gwen used to trigger webbing, webbing fired out of her wrist and it attaching itself to the other building across the street, Mary Jane grip the web line as Peter and Gwen jumped first and swings around in the city as Mary Jane is a bit nervous but she took a leap of faith, she jumps and swings across the street, she's heading towards the building screaming until she used her other wrist to fire off another line and grips it, she lets go of the first one as she's getting the hang of this web swinging, she's swinging across the city smiling as she caught up to Peter and Gwen swinging as themselves and not their alter egos, they looks at Mary Jane swinging beside them. Mary Jane is loves this feeling as she finally know what it's like to be in their shoes, she scream "WHOA-HOO!"
Time is 9:43 AM at City Hall as phones ringing off the hook, many employees are doing their best to transfer calls as some of them are displaying spider powers walking on the ceiling, Captain Yuri Watanabe and Sergeant Jefferson Davis are walking down towards the Mayor's office to speak with the mayor himself. Inside the office all alone, Jameson is crawling on the desk firing some webbing with a cigar in his mouth as he too has powers, doing the exact same moves Spider-Man does, for someone who hates Spider-Man he sure does his style perfectly, all of a sudden the buzzer on the phone is ringing as Jameson jumps off the desk and went back to his regular routine.
"Mr. Mayor, Captain Watanabe is here along with her Sergeant."
Jameson pressed the button. "Sent them in."
Jameson sits at his desk as Captain Watanabe and Sergeant Davis came into the office as the whole city is facing a very strange and yet difficult situation, all it's people gained powers like Spider-Man for some reason.
"Can any of you explain what's the hell is going on?" Jameson demanding answers.
"Honestly your honor, we're just as clueless as you are, the officers who stayed at the precinct all woke up with powers, including us. We've been working overtime all night trying to track down four fugitives and all of a sudden this morning, this happened to all of us " Yuri Watanabe said.
"I bet that menace Spider-Man is behind all this somehow!" Jameson made accusations.
"Let's not jump to any conclusions yet." Jefferson Davis said.
"Why not? All these powers are exactly the same as him, it's not enough there's only three of them, now he wants everyone to be just like him." Jameson said.
"We still don't know the cause of all this outbreak, our officers are stretch pretty thin trying to contain this situation, meanwhile we're still hunting down Marko and the Enforcers still at large." Yuri Watanabe said.
"Then get back to your jobs and keep this city safe, you all have powers now, put them to good use." Jameson gave orders.
"Yes your honor." Yuri Watanabe salutes the mayor.
Yuri and Jefferson walked out of the office to get back to their jobs in maintaining the peace and bringing in the four criminals to justice, the door closes behind them, Jameson then went back to imitating Spider-Man for fun.
Around 10:02 AM at Empire State University as campus is still closed awaiting to be opened for fall semester, Dr. Curt Connors is in his lab doing his regular routines despite everything happening around New York, coming into the lab is Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane as they've found the scientist all alone.
"Peter, Gwen, what are you both doing here? Fall semester hasn't started yet." Dr. Connors is confused.
"Sorry to come in unannounced, but we need your help." Peter said.
"Let me guess, you woke up with spider powers like everyone else." Dr. Connors said.
"Yeah, you could say that." Peter acts like it.
"My wife and son both woke up with the same thing, except for me. Guess having Lizard DNA doesn't mix with spider, so I got lucky. I don't know what's causing all this sudden surprise." Dr. Connors said.
"Actually, we might have a lead." Peter holding up a container with a bed bug.
"A bed bug?" Dr. Connors is confused.
"Yeah, my friend MJ here told us that she was bitten by a bed bug recently and all of a sudden she gained powers like Spider-Man. We figured this little critter might be the cause, we brought it here for you to study." Peter hands it to Dr. Connors.
Dr. Connors holds it. "Hmm, let me examine it and take a closer look, but I wouldn't get your hopes up."
"I understand, call me if you got anything and I'll pass it along to Spider-Man, thank you." Peter said.
"Of course, so are you both eager to start college?" Dr. Connors asking.
"A bit, I know that this very different from high school, but we'll make it work." Peter said.
"I know you will, you're both gifted in science, you have bright futures ahead of you." Dr. Connors said.
"Thank you and good luck." Gwen smiled.
"You too." Dr. Connors said.
Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane walks out of the lab after leaving the bed bug in Dr. Connors's hand for him to study into this sudden spider powered outbreak the city is facing, Dr. Connors began his work looking into this bug and figuring out how and why this is happening. Later outside of the lab, Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane are walking out of the university until Peter's phone is ringing, it's Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow.
Peter answered the call. "Hey Nat, this really isn't the best time."
"When is it ever, anyway, something happened to me here at Avengers Tower." Natasha said.
"Let me guess, you got spider powers too." Peter figured out.
"You guessed right, I'm here at the tower with Jessica Drew, she thinks this has something to do with her dad, can you meet us here?" Natasha said.
"Yeah, I'm on my way." Peter hangs up until he dialed Miles Morales. "Hey Miles, where are you?"
"I just left home and heading into the city." Miles said.
"Good, meet us at Avengers Towers, it's time we're all together to figure out what's going on and who's behind this." Peter said.
"Sure thing, I'll be there soon." Miles hangs up the phones.
"Let's get going." Peter tells his friends.
Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane are swinging away from the university heading towards Avengers Tower, as unknown to anyone, a female figure is hiding nearby watching as the trio are swinging through the city, she came out and identified as Anya Corazon, she's dressed in a red hoodie over a white tank top and blue jeans, her hair is tied up and she's got yellow sunglasses with a red scarf covering her mouth, she shoots organic webbing and swings after them keeping a safe distance as to not let them find out she's following them.
At the same in the warehouse near Kips Bay, Man Mountain Marko is lifting up a forklift above his head, he's more stronger than ever before, Fancy Dan is crawling around the wall testing out his clinging abilities, then he jumps off the wall testing out his acrobatics and lands in a three point stance like Spider-Man, Ox is punching a metal barrel hard with all his newly enhanced strength, Montana fired webbing from his wrist and yanked a crate around like a yoyo and crashed it towards a wall, all four criminals each display the powers of the spider, they're enjoying their new gifts.
"Dang, never thought this was possible." Montana is amazed.
Fancy Dan jumps up and clings himself to the ceiling. "I like this."
Ox smashed a crate and chuckles. "Me too."
"I don't know how this happened, but I feel more stronger than ever, we shouldn't let these new gifts go to waste now that we're on an even playing field as that bug who put us all in jail." Man Mountain Marko said.
"I know the feeling, cause of him we've all suffered a humiliating defeat, our once great reputation has been ruined, perhaps now is the time to exact our vengeance on Spider-Man." Montana said.
Fancy Dan smiled sinisterly. "I'm in."
Ox crunched his fists. "I've been itching to squash him for a very long time."
"Gentlemen, change of plans, we're not leaving this city, we're going to take it and kill anyone who stands in our way, we have the power to do whatever we want." Man Mountain Marko said.
The Enforcers are very eager to aid Man Mountain Marko in his plan to take the city by force and using their new powers to take whatever they want, especially using them to exact vengeance on the man responsible for all their misfortune, Spider-Man.
Later around 10:58 AM at Avengers Towers, Peter along with Gwen, Miles, and Mary Jane meet up with two Avengers Spider-Woman and Black Widow sporting in their new suits to discuss the sudden outbreak on people developing spider powers all over Manhattan, Spider-Woman suspects this is the work of her father Jonathan who is still missing, Peter looks upon his two Avenger teammates and likes their new suits.
"Nice suits." Peter smiled.
"Thanks, Janet is a gifted designer, making us all look good." Black Widow smiled.
"Let's stay focused on the matter at hand, from what's happening right now in New York, this has to be the work of my father." Spider-Woman said.
"Janet told me that he's been missing for two weeks, still haven't found him yet." Peter said.
"No, I went to his place and found it wreck, signs of a struggle, whoever took him knew exactly how valuable his work is, but I know my father, he would never let his research be used for something like this, someone must be forcing him against his will." Spider-Woman said.
"If that's true, then it means that he must be very close somewhere in the city, we'll find him, Jessica." Peter said.
Spider-Woman smiled. "Thanks Peter."
"I still don't understand what's the purpose of all this, someone doesn't just give away powers for free, there must be a reason for all of this." Gwen said.
"We've already found a possibly that a new breed of bed bugs could be responsible for this sudden outbreak of spider powers, we took one to someone we trust to study, hopefully we'll get some answers by the end of the day." Peter said.
"That's good, but in the meantime we need to contain this chaos." Miles said.
"The other Avengers are away on missions, even the new team in the West Coast, so we're all we have left." Black Widow said.
"That'll have to do, the police are doing their best to control the situation and they'll need all the help they can get, especially under all these troubling circumstances." Miles said.
"Why? What happened?" Peter is curious.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you once you came home." Mary Jane said.
"Tell us what?" Gwen is curious.
"Yesterday something terrible happened, a prison convoy transporting Man Mountain Marko has been attacked, all the officers were killed, at the hands of the Enforcers." Mary Jane informs the bad news.
"My god, that's horrible." Gwen is stunned.
"Can't believe those clowns are back, especially this Steroid Junkie, should've figured they were bold enough to kill cops." Peter isn't surprised what those criminals are capable of.
All of a sudden, Miles got a text on his phone from Ganke, there's trouble happening right now involving the Enforcers.
"And speak of the devil, they're back so soon robbing a bank downtown at this moment." Miles informs everyone.
"They're either very bold or stupid." Gwen said.
"Probably both, either way, it's time to bring those four to justice, for those officers." Peter said.
"Amen." Miles agrees.
"If you guys are going out there, you might need our help." Black Widow said.
"She's right, you'll need all the help you can get." Spider-Woman said.
Peter smiled "Alright then, Spider-Woman, Black Widow, welcome to the Web-Warriors."
"We're honored, time for you to suit up, Spidey." Spider-Woman said.
"Uh... I didn't bring my suit with me." Peter said.
"That's okay, your new one is here, Janet dropped it off here before she heads off to Italy for a fashion show." Black Widow said.
Peter sees a suitcase on the table in the living room, he walks up to the table as he starts opening it up, he opens it and gazed upon the newest suit personally designed by Janet Van Dyne, it's an improvement over his original design built with white fiber spider in the middle, Peter reach his hand and felt it, he smiled as he love it.
"It's perfect." Peter smiled.
"Then suit up, Spider-Man." Black Widow smiled.
(Later)
Miles is already suited up in his Kid Arachnid suit, Gwen already brought her suit with her in her backpack she wore, she's all suited up, they're waiting with Black Widow and Spider-Woman now made members of the Web-Warriors, Mary Jane on the other hand is in another room working on something with the fabrication machine, coming out of the dorm room is the new and improved Spider-Man dressed up in his new Advanced Suit, somewhat similar to the original design with the red and blue combo, only this time came with white fibers along the forearms and hands, the big white spider on the chest and one in the back, everyone is amazed by Spider-Man's newest suit.
"Well, how do I look?" Spider-Man showing off his new suit.
Ghost-Spider smiled. "Marvelous."
"It's definitely you, Spidey." Kid Arachnid gave a thumb up.
Coming out of the room is Mary Jane Watson dressed up in her new suit similar to Spider-Man but her's is red and white, her hair is tied up and took everyone by surprise including Spider-Man.
"MJ?" Spider-Man is stunned.
"Not today, Tiger, call me... Spinneret." Mary Jane goes by Spinneret.
"What's with the suit?" Spider-Man said.
"I'm coming with you, Tiger, you could use an extra hand." Mary Jane said.
"You sure about this, MJ?" Spider-Man said.
"Come on, it's not my first time playing hero, you know that, I got this, trust me." Mary Jane is determined.
Spider-Man sighed. "Okay, let's go."
Mary Jane puts on a red eye mask as Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, and Kid Arachnid are walking out with Spider-Woman, Black Widow, and Spinneret, they made it to the ledge of the tower as they look down from far up high, everyone jumps off the ledge fall down from the tower and fired off webbing as they all swing around the city, except for Spider-Woman who glides around in the air following her teammates, the Web-Warriors are heading to confront the criminals downtown, meanwhile Anya Corazon is swinging following them from a distance.
Later at 11:34 AM in Downtown New York, the bank is being held up as some unpowered civilians are trapped inside as the newly spider empowered Enforcers are holding them hostage, the unpowered security guards are webbed up unable to do anything as Montana and Fancy Dan armed with their personal weapons are on lookout making sure nobody does anything stupid.
"Alright everyone, stay calm and don't do anything stupid, we're making a withdrawal." Montana holding up his assault rifle.
While Fancy Dan and Montana are keeping an eye out, Ox and Man Mountain Marko are at the vault about to make their move.
"Ox, care to do the honors?" Man Mountain Marko asking.
Ox smiled as he steps forward and got his hands on the vault door clinging it to it's surface as he pulls as hard as he can with all his new strength, Ox roared out loud and pulled the vault door off it's hinges, he tossed it aside as they have access to the vault and all it's valuable contents.
"Take as much as you can carry." Man Mountain Marko smiled.
Ox and Marko are packing up newly printed 100 dollar bills into the duffel bags they've brought, Montana and Fancy Dan are still keeping the hostages in check by threatening their lives, Ox and Marko are coming out carrying multiple bags of stolen money easily with all their new strength, all four criminals are were about to leave until they've running into the Web-Warriors blocking their way out, they're in the company of Black Widow, Spider-Woman, and new hero Spinneret.
"Leaving so soon?" Spider-Man said.
"Spider-Man, it's been a while." Man Mountain Marko said.
"Sure has, have you been laying off the juice lately, Marko? I hear that stuff does weird things to your testicles." Spider-Man teasing.
"My testicles are fine thank you very much, besides I don't need to take any since now I'm more stronger than ever, and I'm not the only one." Man Mountain Marko said.
"What do you mean by that?" Ghost-Spider is curious.
"We'll show you." Montana fired off webbing from his wrist.
The Web-Warriors all scattered away as Montana missed, but Fancy Dan came in swinging and executed a drop kick on Spider-Man, the hero fell down on the table, breaking it in half, Ox came in jumping down for a slam, Spidey jumped away as Ox slammed down on the ground with all his strength, Spidey joined up with his team as they all realized that the Enforcers all received spider powers like most of the people in Manhattan.
"Oh you got to be kidding me? You guys have powers too!" Spider-Man is shocked.
"Exactly, we don't know how or why, but now we're on an even playing field as you. At long last, we finally get to pay you back for all the misery you've caused us, bug." Montana wants revenge.
"Powers or not, I'll still stop you and I won't be the only one." Spider-Man said.
"Alright boys, time for some vengeance, kill them all." Montana said.
"Spider-Woman, Widow, Spinneret, get the people out of here, we'll hold them." Spider-Man said.
"Got it." Black Widow said.
Black Widow, Spider-Woman, and Spinneret are helping the civilians and guards tied up in webbing, they're escorting each of them out of the banks as this place is about to become a battle zone, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, and Kid Arachnid are staying behind as they're about to face off against Man Mountain Marko and the Enforcers now they're all enhanced with spider powers, this could be a very difficult battle for the heroes. The Enforcers made their move and swings across the room as the Web-Warriors did the same and met them head on in mid air, Spider-Man drop kicked Montana down to the ground, Fancy Dan lands down in a three point stance as did Ghost-Spider, they're using their gymnastics to fight one another, Ox is doing his best to punch Kid Arachnid who is dodging the fists.
Outside of the bank, the three other Web-Warriors are helping escort the civilians away from the fight inside, meanwhile Anya Corazon came in swing and landed on the rooftop across the bank to see people running out to safety, she figured that something is happening inside the bank, most likely the other heroes are inside in the middle of a fight, Anya swings across to the other rooftop, she looks down at the window ceiling to see the fight happening right now, the heroes are fighting the Enforcers. Anya is slowly opening the window ceiling as she's about to jump down and join the fight. Kid Arachnid got punched very hard by Ox and slammed his back against the beam, the villain is about to strike back until Anya came in for a drop kick on the head, she knocked him off his feet, she landed in a three point stance as Kid Arachnid sees an unknown vigilante here with powers like his.
"You okay?" Anya asking.
"Who are you?" Kid Arachnid asking.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help." Anya said.
"You sound... familiar." Kid Arachnid recognize that voice.
Ox screams out in a rage as he's coming in charging for an attack, Anya and Kid Arachnid split up and focus on the battle. Ghost-Spider is firing off some webbing as Fancy Dan is doing some backflips dodging her attack, he then jumps up and swinging for a drop kick, Ghost-Spider backflips out of the way, then she fired a couple of webbing onto his feet and yanked them off the ground, Fancy Dan fell backwards. Montana is firing off bullets from his assault rifle as Spider-Man uses his web shield to protect himself, the gun eventually stopped firing until it ran out of ammo, Spider-Man took the opportunity to toss the web shield at Montana hard and knocked him off the ground. Man Mountain Marko decides to join the fight as he came in swinging towards Spider-Man and fired off some webbing, Spider-Man does some back flips dodging the attack, he stopped as Marko fired off a web line and Spidey caught it, he pulled it hard and yanked Marko towards him, Spider-Man strikes back with a side kick and kicked Marko down.
"You might have spider powers, but you lack experience in how to use it." Spider-Man walking towards Marko.
Man Mountain Marko is still down as he waited for Spider-Man to get a little closer, Spidey's senses are tingling as Marko came out swinging a knife, Spider-Man dodged the blade swing in time, Marko is still holding the knife in his hand about to cut up Spider-Man.
"I'm going to gut you like a fish, bug." Man Mountain Marko holding up his knife.
"I like my guts where they're at thank you very much." Spider-Man being humorous.
Ox is still in the fight with both Kid Arachnid and Anya Corazon as she's providing him a distraction, keeping Ox focused on her, Kid Arachnid is invisible and he manage to get himself on top of the villain, before Ox could react, the hero zapped him with his venom blast and still keeps on zapping him until he passes out. Anya then spotted Spider-Man still engaged in combat against the boss of the bunch, Man Mountain Marko managed to push kick the hero so hard that he crashed his back against the wall, he's got a knife in his hand as he's about to kill Spider-Man all vulnerable, Anya can't stand by and let this happen.
"Now I get to finish what we've started all those years ago, I finally get to kill Spider-Man." Man Mountain Marko threatens Spider-Man's life.
Marko is about to thrust his blade into a vulnerable Spider-Man still recovering himself, but all of a sudden a web line attached itself to his arm, preventing him from delivering the final blow, the mobster turns around to see a young teen girl is the one who's keeping him from killing Spider-Man, he then yanks the line with all his strength and pulls Anya in towards him, Marko then stabs Anya in the torso, Anya felt the blade in her, she froze up in pain. Spider-Man saw the whole thing, a young girl got stabbed by Marko, he gets himself back up and tackles Marko out of the way, the blade got pulled out of Anya, he punched the mobster so hard towards the support beam and knocked him out cold. Spider-Man rushed to the girl's side to see that she's in bad shape from that blade strike, she's bleeding as he place his hands over the wound to stop it.
"Hey, hang in there, kid, you're going to be okay!" Spider-Man is terrified.
Anya is having a hard time staying away from her injuries as Spider-Man knows that she's in bad shape and barely clinging to life, she needs immediate medical attention as a battle is still happening right now, Ghost-Spider kicked down Fancy Dan and Kid Arachnid finished zapping Ox, both heroes rushed to Spider-Man's side tending to the injured girl as Spider-Man is curious as to who this girl is, he pulled down her scarf and took off her sunglasses to see it's Anya Corazon.
"Oh my god... Anya?" Kid Arachnid said.
"What?" Ghost-Spider is stunned.
"We have to get her out here now!" Spider-Man said.
Man Mountain Marko and Montana are still left standing as they're about to make things difficult for the heroes to help Anya, but Black Widow and Spider-Woman came in swinging in front of the heroes to keep the villains busy, Spinneret came to the heroes side to see Anya is seriously hurt.
"Go Spidey, get out of here, we'll hold them off." Black Widow said.
Spider-Man picks up Anya as they're leaving the bank while Spider-Woman and Black Widow stayed behind to hold off the bad guys, the rest of the Web-Warriors all swings away from the scene of the battle with Anya being carried over Spider-Man's shoulder, she needs immediate medical attention as her life is at stake.
"Ghost-Spider, can you go and find Jane Foster?" Spider-Man swinging.
"Yeah, I'll bring you to as fast as I can, good luck!" Ghost-Spider swinging away.
Ghost-Spider swings in the opposite direction to fetch the only doctor they can trust, Jane Foster, while Spider-Man and the others are swinging to a safe place to treat Anya for medical care to save her life.
Later back at Avengers Tower, Spider-Man came in rushing through the balcony carrying Anya Corazon in his arms still clinging to life, Kid Arachnid and Spinneret follows as they entered the medical bay where all the medical equipment and supplies are available, Spider-Man set Anya down on the bed as Spinneret is hooking her to the monitor reading her vitals, she's barely clinging to life, everyone takes off their mask as Spider-Man rips the bloody tank top open, she's still cover by a bra but they see the knife wound Man Mountain Marko inflicted upon her earlier, it's very bad.
"Oh my god!" Peter is terrified by the wound.
"We're losing her, look!" Mary Jane points to the screen.
The monitor reading her vitals are dropping until they've flatlined meaning the heart has stopped, she's going into cardiac arrest and they're losing Anya, Spider-Man knows he can't wait and he has to do something fast.
"We can't wait any longer, Miles, get the defibrillator, MJ, get the adrenaline and inject it into her bloodstream!" Peter tells his friends.
He's got some medical training his Aunt May taught him for emergencies, he hopes its enough to keep her alive until a doctor comes in time, Miles brings in a defibrillator and turns it on charging to 120, he placed each paddle in between the heart ready for to be shocked, Mary Jane inject the adrenaline.
"Ready... clear!" Peter said.
Peter used the defibrillator to apply a charge to get Anya's heart beating again, her whole body rose up from the charge as Peter looks to the screen to see some vital coming back only to flatline again.
"Oh no... charge to 200!" Peter said.
Miles tuned the defibrillator charging to 200, Peter then placed the paddles in position to deliver a charge to Anya's heart.
"Okay... clear!" Peter said.
Peter uses the paddles to deliver another charge to Anya's heart, her body rose up again as they look to the screen to see Anya's vital coming back but still flatline again, it's not enough.
"It's not working!" Miles is terrified.
"MJ, get the mask, we're about to do CPR." Peter said.
Mary Jane picked out a CPR bag valve mask and applies it over Anya's mouth, Peter got both his hands over Anya's heart to perform CPR to get it beating again, Mary Jane is squeezing the bag valve to breath air into her lungs, Miles grabbed Anya's hand showing her that he's here and prays that she makes it, Peter is still doing his best to get the heart working again as Anya is still unresponsive.
"Come on, come on, you're not going to die today! You hear me?! This is not how your story is going to end, Anya! So keep on fighting to survive! Come on! FIGHT!" Peter still saving Anya's life.
Peter and Mary Jane still performed CPR as hard and best as they can to get her heart beating again, all of a sudden the monitor is showing vitals coming back, her heart is beating again, she's still alive for now. Coming in the room is Ghost-Spider with Dr. Jane Foster, everyone got to see that Anya is still in bad shape, even though they've managed to keep her alive, she's not out of the woods yet.
"How is she?" Jane Foster asking about Anya's condition.
"She went into cardiac arrest, but we've managed to get heart beating again." Peter said.
"Okay, that's good, you did your part, now I'll take it from here." Jane Foster steps in.
"Please do your best, Jane." Peter said.
"I will, I'll do everything in my power to save her, I promise.' Jane Foster said.
"Thank you, let's go." Peter tells his team.
Everyone is leaving the medical bay letting Jane Foster do her work in saving Anya's life as she's still in critical condition, all they can do is wait and pray Jane will do her best to save Anya from certain death, Miles is the one prays that his friend makes it through the day.
Time is 12:40 PM at noon, back at the hideout in Kips Bay, Man Mountain Marko and the Enforcers managed to escape from the bank and ditched the two Avengers in the process, even with their new powers it's not enough, they were lucky this time, next time not so much.
Montana is breathing tired. "Dang, that was too close."
"Didn't think that two Avengers would still be enough to take on four of us." Fancy Dan said.
"At least you've managed to wound one of them, boss, some kid." Montana said.
"That wound was meant for Spider-Man, not her, damn kid got in my way." Man Mountain Marko is disappointed he lost his chance for revenge.
"Patience boss, at least we've proven we can take them on on equal terms thanks to our powers." Montana said.
"But that's still not enough, there's too many of them and only four of us, if we are to take over this city and kill Spider-Man, we'll need a gang." Man Mountain Marko said.
"A gang of superpower criminals like us? An excellent suggestion boss, that'll certainly tip the scales in our favor." Montana likes the idea.
"Montana, Fancy Dan, Ox, start recruiting criminals with superpowers, we're going to build ourselves an army with us as their leaders, get started." Man Mountain Marko gave an order.
"On it, boss." Montana complied.
Montana, Ox, and Fancy Dan all left the hideout and making their way around the city to start recruiting criminals to build themselves an army to overpower the heroes, Man Mountain Marko remained behind as he's being to plan his ambitions in taking this whole city as theirs
The time is 2:20 PM at Avengers Tower, Peter, Gwen, Miles, and Mary Jane are waiting in the living room as they're praying that Anya makes it, they left her in the hands of Dr. Jane Foster in hopes that she can do her best to save Anya's life, Jane's been operating on Anya for almost two hours to stabilize her condition, coming in swinging through the balcony is Black Widow and Spider-Woman.
"Hey, did you two stop them?" Peter asking.
"No, they tossed in a flash grenade and bugged out, they're still at large." Black Widow said.
"How is the girl?" Spider-Woman asking about Anya.
"She's went through cardiac arrest once we brought her into the med-bay, we've managed to get her heart beating again, we've left here in Jane's care, we're still waiting and pray that she makes it." Peter explained Anya's situation.
Spider-Woman sighed. "Those guys are monsters, can't believe they go so far as to almost killing a kid."
"I'm not surprised how far they'll go to get what they want, the Enforcers invaded our old school and almost killed Gwen, even this Marko guy came close to killing a teenage vigilante with a baseball bat, they have absolutely no honor whatsoever. Anya is like this because of me, that knife was meant for me, not her." Peter felt bad for how things turned out.
"Peter, none of this was your fault, if Anya didn't do what she did in that moment, Marko would've killed you, she saved your life." Gwen comforts Peter.
"I know, what she did was very heroic, still wished she didn't have risk her life for mine, I won't forgive myself if she dies because of me." Peter felt sad.
"Hey, she's going to make it, Tiger, you did your part in bring her here, you keep her alive, all we can do is hope she makes it." Mary Jane comforts Peter.
Everyone is being prayerful that Anya makes it through this operation, all of a sudden coming out of the med-bay is Jane Foster in a scrub taking off the gloves all bloody covered in Anya's blood as everyone stands up to hear how the operation went.
"How is she?" Miles is curious about Anya.
Jane Foster sighed. "I've managed to stabilize her, kept her alive for now... but she's lost a lot of blood, she needs a transfusion immediately."
"Okay, we'll go to a blood bank and fetch some blood for her." Miles said.
"It's not that simple, her physiology has changed, she can't take the blood of a normal human being, she can only take blood from someone who's physiology matches hers, if we don't find one soon, she's not going to make it through the day, she'll die." Jane Foster explains Anya's situation.
"Oh no." Miles is terrified.
Peter then thought of something that might work. "You said that she can only take blood from someone exactly like her."
"Yes, that's correct." Jane Foster said.
"What blood type is she?" Peter asking.
"Ah... from what I can tell, O negative." Jane Foster said.
"Ok, that's good, cause I'm a match, I can give her my blood." Peter volunteers to donate.
"Your blood? Are you sure about this?" Black Widow is stunned.
"Her physiology is mutated to have spider powers, my physiology matches hers, so does my blood, I can donate my blood." Peter said.
"Are you sure about this, Peter? This is a blood transfusion you're about to do, once you transfer you blood, you'll be weaken from the blood drain, being forced to rest unable to engage in any activities." Jane Foster explains the risk.
"I won't let her die, she saved my life, now I'm going to save hers." Peter made up his mind.
"Okay, follow me." Jane Foster walks back to the med-bay.
Peter followed Jane Foster into the med-bay where Anya Corazon is resting with a gown on her, she's got a breathing mask hooked up to a tube for oxygen, the monitor is showing off her vitals still live, Jane wheels out a machine used to transfuse blood from one individual to another, she's setting everything up for the transfusion as she turns to Peter still fully dressed in his new suit.
"Okay, I'll need your arm to inject the tube." Jane Foster said.
Peter takes off the top part of the Spider-Man suit and became topless, he then lays himself down on the other bunk opposite of Anya's, Jane has the tube with a needle and injected one into Anya's left arm for her to receive blood from the donor, the other one is in Jane's hand ready to be injected into Peter's bloodstream.
"Ready?" Jane Foster asking.
Peter nodded his head. "Ready."
Jane injected the needle into Peter's vein on his right arm, Jane then activates the machine as it's begin to pump out blood from Peter's vein, blood is flowing out of his veins and making it's way to the machine, then it's transferring it to Anya's vein, she's receiving blood from Peter Parker, enough to save her life, everyone came into the med-bay to see Peter transferring his blood to Anya.
"How are you feeling, Peter?" Jane Foster asking.
"Not a thing." Peter made a joke.
"You say that now, but you're going to feel a little lightheaded once half your blood is gone." Jane Foster said.
"I knew what I was getting into, but if it meant saving Anya's life, it'll be worth it." Peter said.
"Hey... thank you for doing this, Pete." Miles is grateful.
"Save the thanks until Anya is out of danger, in the meantime, these criminals are still out there and still dangerous." Peter said.
"Don't worry Pete, we'll handle it, you just stay and rest." Gwen said.
"Okay, till I'm back on my feet, the team is yours to lead, Gwen." Peter puts Gwen in charge.
"I understand, I won't let you down, Pete." Gwen said.
"I know you won't, be careful." Peter said.
"I will." Gwen smiled at Peter before turning to the rest of the team. "Alright Web-Warriors, time to head out."
Gwen assumes the role as acting leader of the team, she then left the med-bay with the rest of the Web-Warriors leaving Peter behind to transfuse his blood into Anya resting and receiving blood, everyone puts their masks back on as they made their way to the balcony, they all jumped off and swings around the city to search for the Enforcers.
Later around 3:02 PM back at the hideout in Kips Bay, Man Mountain Marko is impressed with how much manpower the Enforcers have recruited, criminals who have been infected and received powers, they have enough to form a new gang powerful enough to take the city for themselves, even overpower the heroes they'll come across if they ever run into them in the future.
"Is this good enough for you, Marko?" Montana asking.
Man Mountain Marko chuckles. "Oh yeah, well done Montana. Gentlemen, thank you all for coming, I take it that you're all in our shoes with this sudden spider power outbreak happening right now, but this is wonderful, for some bizarre reason we're all blessed with these news powers, now we can take what we want and no one shall stand in our way, not even those spider heroes."
All of a sudden coming in bursting through the window ceiling are the Web-Warriors lead by Ghost-Spider as they landed down and showed themselves to Marko, the Enforcers,a and their newly formed gang of super-powered criminals.
"You were saying?" Ghost-Spider said.
"Speak of the devil and she shall appear, here you are." Man Mountain Marko smiled.
"Did you really think we let you get away with murdering all those cops? You almost killed a kid." Ghost-Spider said.
"I only wanted to kill Spider-Man, that kid got in my way, how is the brat by the way?" Man Mountain Marko made an insult.
"You son of a bitch, you're going to pay for that." Kid Arachnid felt angry.
Man Mountain Marko chuckles. "Good luck with that, don't think my new friends will make that easy."
The Web-Warriors all looked around to see a number of criminals clinging on walls with spider powers, they're completely outnumbered.
"I see you've been busy." Ghost-Spider said.
"I learned a lot from our last encounter, now we've got the numbers and there's only five of you, do you honestly think that you five stand a chance against all of us?" Man Mountain Marko being overconfident.
"Honestly no, but we won't have to." Ghost-Spider remained calm and cool.
Coming in bursting through the windows are the NYPD led by Yuri Watanabe and Jefferson Davis, all the officers have spider powers and they're all motivated in taking down Man Mountain Marko and the Enforcers, there are more cops than criminals.
"Dang... cops." Montana sounded disappointed.
"We've heard about your sudden recruitment and we've followed your boys back to this hideout, we figured that you were forming a gang to help you, so this time we've brought some help of our own, this time you're facing the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Cops." Ghost-Spider said.
"Marko, you and your men are wanted for the murder of police officers, turn yourselves in peacefully or we'll use force." Yuri Watanabe said.
"Like hell, I am not going back to prison." Man Mountain Marko refused to surrender.
"Then it's by force then, we're fine with that, for all those lives you've taken, they deserve justice." Yuri Watanabe said.
"Alright everyone, take them down!" Ghost-Spider said.
The NYPD all swings in charging at the criminals, the gang all did the same and faced the cops head on, everyone has the same spider powers so it's an even fight for everyone, Yuri punched out a criminal out cold with her new strength as Jefferson webbed him down with organic webbing, all the officers are still facing the criminals and neutralizing them with webbing. Black Widow and Spider-Woman both faced off against Ox, the villain tries to slam down both women with his fists but only damaged the ground, Widow pulls out her electro-batons and moves in at fast speed and strikes with precision, zapping Ox with electricity, the villain works through the shock as he strikes back with a backfist, Widow's spider sense tingle as she jumps up and Ox missed, she landed on top of the villain and strikes down with her batons and shocks him with more electricity, Ox is yelling as Spider-Woman joins in and zaps Ox with venom blast, eventually all that voltage took it's tool and Ox fell down on the ground, Widow webbed him up for good measure.
"One down." Black Widow said as she high five with Spider-Woman.
Spinneret is engaged in combat against Fancy Dan, she's firing off webbing attempting to hit the villain using gymnastics to dodge her attacks, he then counters by firing back webbing of his own, Spinneret jumps up and swings in closer for a drop kick, she managed to kick the villain off the ground as she landed and fired a couple of webbing, she managed to entangle him and uses all her strength to send him back down towards the ground hard.
"Gotcha, you jumpy bastard." Spinneret smiled.
Montana is firing off some webbing hoping to hit Ghost-Spider, the hero is swinging around in the air dodging his attack, Montana then jumps up swinging to meet her head on in the air, Ghost-Spider drop down for a kick, Montana used his arms to block the drop kick and pushed Ghost-Spider back up, she then fired a couple of webbing past him as she got a hold of the lines and uses them to pull her in fast for a slingshot kick and hits Montana down to the ground. Ghost-Spider then webbed up Montana for good measure, trapping him, she walks up and delivers a hard punch to the face.
"That felt good, that's payback once again." Ghost-Spider said.
"I still don't know you." Montana is confused before he passed out.
Kid Arachnid got kicked back and hit his back against a crate, Man Mountain Marko is coming in swinging down with a bat, Kid Arachnid suddenly turns himself invisible and disappears before Marko slams the bat on the crate and break it into pieces, Marko then looks around trying to find the missing hero.
"What's the matter, kid? Hiding like a scared little cat? That little brat had more guts than you, she's probably split it by now thanks to me." Man Mountain Marko taunts and chuckles.
Kid Arachnid felt angry in that moment for the way Marko insulted Anya, he came out of his invisibility and attacks Marko, but the mobster swings his bat and hit Kid Arachnid hard, the hero fell into the trap and got bested, Marko walked up closer to a down Kid Arachnid about to deliver another strike, but this time more fatal as he raised his bat up ready to strike down for the kill.
"Must've hit a nervous there, is that brat your girlfriend? She's must be dead by now and you'll join her very soon." Man Mountain Marko smiled.
Marko is about to swing the bat down to kill the hero, but Kid Arachnid got mad as he counters by unleashing his mega venom blast around him, Marko is being zapped by electricity unable to fight back, the hero kept on shocking until the mobster drops his bat and fell down on his knees from all the voltage his body took in, Kid Arachnid tightens his fist charged with electricity ready to strike Marko.
"This one is for her!" Kid Arachnid with his fist tighten.
Kid Arachnid strikes at Marko very hard with a venom punch, sent him flying and crashing against the crates, Marko passed out cold, Kid Arachnid defeated him with that single punch.
Kid Arachnid breathes and whisper. "That was for you... Anya."
Kid Arachnid looks around to see the Enforcers are already taken down thanks to his teammates, Marko is down for the count, the NYPD has already capture most of the criminals, Yuri and Jefferson smiled as they're proud that the four criminals are finally brought to justice for the fallen officers.
(Later)
The NYPD are escorting the captured criminals still trapped in webbing onto the transport, the Web-Warrior looked to see Marko finally in police custody along with the Enforcers, Captain Watanabe and Sergeant Davis came up to the hero to give their gratitude for all their help.
"Thank you all once again for your help." Yuri Watanabe gave her gratitude.
"Actually, it's you guys we should thank for the help, you and the NYPD deserves all the credit, you had our backs when we need it the most." Ghost-Spider said.
"I have to say, never thought we ended filling in your shoes, but these powers came in pretty handy." Jefferson Davis said.
"Guess it's not bad having another spider hero protecting the city." Yuri Watanabe said.
"Glad there are those who uses them for good, power comes with responsibility." Ghost-Spider said.
"Guess that's true, anyway thanks for the help, we gave those fallen officers justice. We'll see to it that these criminals pay for their crimes." Yuri Watanabe said.
"We'll hold you to that, good luck." Ghost-Spider said.
Ghost-Spider swings away as did the other Web-Warriors as the NYPD has the whole situation under control, Marko and the Enforcers are arrested for their crimes, that's one less problem for the city, there's still many more to come, this city needs many help to keep it from falling into chaos, the fight is far from over.
Time is 4:40 PM at Avengers Tower, Peter is still resting on the cot as he already transfer almost half his blood into Anya Corazon, he's felt weaken from the drain and felt tired out, Anya is still in recovery as her vitals are very stable, she's slowly waking up her eyes to find herself in a room, she looks around only to find Peter Parker on the other bed with a tube in his vein, Peter hasn't noticed Anya is briefly awake, she then closes her eyes and rest to recover, Jane Foster came into the room to find the patient's vital are looking good, she checks the wound on Anya's torso to see that it's starting to heal slowly, her healing factor is doing it's work, the blood transfusion worked, Jane went to check on Peter, she took off the tube from his veins as he's done with the blood drain.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Jane Foster asking.
"Ah, lightheaded, you were right... how is she?" Peter asking about Anya.
"She's doing fine, her wounds are starting to heal and her vitals look normal, she's going to live, thanks to you." Jane Foster smiled.
"That's great, glad that she'll lived to fight another day." Peter is attempting to get up.
"Whoa, take it easy, you transferred almost half your blood, you'll need to replenish your energy." Jane Foster said.
"Great, do I get cookies and apple juice for giving my blood?" Peter made a joke.
Jane Foster giggled at that joke as the Web-Warriors came into the med-bay to find Peter awaken and weaken, they're took off their mask as they're curious about Anya's condition.
"Hey Tiger, how are you feeling?" Mary Jane asking.
"Tired and hungry." Peter explained his condition.
"Lucky for you, we've brought you some lunch." Miles holding up a pizza box.
"Is that from..." Peter is curious.
"Joe's on Bleecker Street." Miles said.
"Oh, thanks, I'm starving." Peter smiled.
"No, thank you for what you did for Anya, it's was very heroic offering your life for hers." Miles is grateful.
"And it most certainly paid off, Jane told me that she's making a full recovery, she's going to be okay." Peter explained.
"That's great to hear, your blood saved her life. Can't image what it'll be like losing Anya." Miles said.
"Well, you won't have to think about that anymore, she's a fighter." Peter said.
"Yes she is." Miles smiled.
"By the way, what became of our old foes?" Peter asking about the Enforcers.
"Don't worry, we took them down with some assistance of New York's finest, we're lucky there were others who uses our gifts for good." Gwen explained.
"With great power comes great responsibility, glad some followed our examples." Peter smiled upon the news before turning his attention to Gwen.
Mary Jane noticed the signs. "Why don't we give them some privacy. Get well, Tiger."
Jane Foster and the rest of the Web-Warriors left the med-bay leaving Peter and Gwen alone to talk.
Peter sighed. "Wish we were still in the Hamptons enjoying the good times."
Gwen smiled. "I know the feeling, I enjoyed it too. There'll be plenty of time for that once this is over."
"Can't wait." Peter flirted.
Gwen leaned in closer to Peter and they kiss until they've stopped.
"Come on, let's eat." Gwen smiled.
Around the same time in a hideout somewhere in the city, Spider-Queen is watching the news concerning about the capture of Man Mountain Marko along with the Enforcers thanks to the combined teamwork of the NYPD and the Web-Warriors, but the whole city is still dealing with people developing spider powers everywhere in Manhattan, everything that has transpired today is all the Spider-Queen's doing for her master plan.
"Earlier today, the NYPD has finally ended the massive manhunt for Micheal Marko along with the criminals called the Enforcers responsible for the death of police officers yesterday, all four criminals are finally in custody but this mysterious outbreak is still on as many people around Manhattan developed powers identical to Spider-Man, it is still unknown the cause of all this, but luckily thanks to the brave officers who have powers, the situation in New York might soon be under control."
Spider-Queen chuckles. "Things will be under control alright, under my control. People forget that the only reason they have powers is because I allowed it, but they come at a price, soon the Spider-Virus will be triggered and the next stage of their evolution shall be complete, once it's done, this entire city will be mine and everyone in it shall serve their new queen, all I need to be complete is a king, and I have just the right candidate to have by my side... Spider-Man."
Dr. Jonathan Drew is still held prisoner and chained up, listening to the Spider-Queen feeling proud that her master plan is about to become a reality, he felt ashamed that his work has been unleashed upon the city to do harm than good, the people of New York will all fall victim to her plans.
Time is 7:01 PM as the sun is starting to set around New York City, meanwhile at Empire State University, Dr. Connors has spent hours here at the lab studying the specimen Peter brought him, he's looking at the microscope to see a sample of the spider venom the bed bug was carrying, he then noticed something unusual that made him very concerned, the venom has something else that contains mutative properties as the cells are changing.
"Oh my god... this can't be." Dr. Connors is stunned and terrified by this discovery.
Dr. Connors then gets up from his chair and walks over to the table where his phone is laying down, he picked it up and starts dialing someone to inform him the bad news.
(Avengers Tower)
Peter is in the living room with Miles and Gwen eating to replenish his energy from the blood transfusion, it took a toll on his body and left him weaken, now Peter is feeling alright and reenergized from all the eating he's being doing for hours, he'll be back to full strength very soon to join the big fight ahead of them.
"Where's MJ?" Peter asking about Mary Jane.
"She left an hour ago, said that she's heading back to the apartment to check up on Ms. Lion, Natasha is with Jessica patrolling around the city searching for any clues to her father's whereabouts." Gwen said.
"I hope Jessica finds her father very soon, we still need some answers as to what's the whole purpose of giving everyone powers is." Peter said.
All of a sudden, Peter's phone is ringing as he picks it up to check who's calling.
"It's Dr. Connors." Peter told the team.
"Go ahead, maybe he's finally found something." Miles said.
"Put him on speaker." Gwen suggested
Peter answered the call and puts its on speaker. "Hey Dr. Connors, what's up?"
"Peter, glad I've reached you, are you with Spider-Man right now?" Dr. Connors sounded desperate.
"No, but you sounded worried, what's going on?" Peter is curious.
"I need you to pass this news to Spider-Man immediately, I found something in the venom from the bed bug you brought in, it's... bad." Dr. Connors said.
"How bad?" Peter said.
"The process that gave everyone powers isn't a one time process, it was just the beginning." Dr. Connors said.
"The beginning? Of what?" Peter is confused.
"Everyone who's been exposed is still changing and it's accelerating, so while I can't tell exactly they're transforming into, one thing is already clear... it won't be human." Dr. Connor explained.
Peter hangs up as he, Gwen, and Miles are stunned by this bad news, something terrible is about to happen very soon to everyone, including Mary Jane who's been infected by this virus, she's about to undergo a change without knowing it, they got up and rushed out of the tower to help her before it's too late.
Around the same time in the Lower East Side as the sun has finally gone down, Spinneret came into the apartment, she took off the mask to find Ms. Lion still around the place, the dogs rushed to Mary Jane as she bent down and petted her dog.
"How's your day, Ms. Lion?" Mary Jane smiled as the dog barks and smiles. "Yeah, mines too, never imagine I would ended being a hero today."
The dog barked until he's feeling something strange happening to him, he's whining like he's in pain as Mary Jane got worried.
"What's wrong, boy?" Mary Jane is worried.
Mary Jane then felt something happening to her too just like Ms. Lion, she can feel her insides changing and she's in pain.
"What's happening?" Mary Jane is in pain.
Mary Jane fell down on her knees as she can feel herself changing, she's screams in pain as she underwent a terrible change right there, whatever she's changing into, it won't be human.
... to be continued.
