This chapter is sure to be full of surprises as Christmas is coming, so stayed turned as the surprises are unveiled that can changes everyone's lives.

It's December 22nd around 8:55 PM nighttime in Jersey City as snow is everywhere in the neighborhood, some kids around here are taking advantage of all the snow around by throwing some snowballs, making snowman or snow angels, an armored car is driving through the snowy road delivery newly minted cash in the back, the driver and passenger are listening to a Christmas music "Let it Snow" version by Dean Martin inside their warm comfortable cab, the passenger riding shotgun is drinking a cup of hot coco as the driver has something to say.

"So you got any plans for the holiday?"

"Nah, my folks are out of town, so it's just me alone."

"Well... if you're looking a date, I do have a cousin who's pretty much single, I could put in a good word."

"Thanks, but no thanks, I don't do blind dates."

"How come?"

"I've never even met your cousin, whoever she is, no offense, but I don't even know what she looks like."

"Are you saying my cousin is ugly?"

"No, of course not, I'm simply saying I don't like the idea going out with someone I've never met, I'm good just being single."

"Okay... but you don't know what you're missing."

The driver and passenger are being playful while doing their jobs but their moment got interrupted as the driver hits on the brake to make the armored car stopped upon seeing someone in the middle of the street they're driving through, this guy is dressed in some kind of costume all white and blue in a blizzard pattern.

"What the? Who the hell is this?"

Driver honks the horn. "Hey Pal! What the hell is your problem?!"

This mysterious individual raised his hand up in front of the armored car as neither of its occupants are aware what he's trying to pull off, he suddenly unleashed a beam of ice upon the entire cab as it's freezing everything around it, they both became shocked upon seeing an enhanced individual who can produce ice out of his own body, the driver grabbed the radio.

"Mayday, mayday, we're under attack! We got an enhanced individual attacking us in Greenville, requesting immediate assistance!"

Blizzard managed to engulfed the entire cab of the armored car with frozen ice, Blizzard then moves to the back of the vehicle as the driver and passenger are attempting to get out and stop him, but they're unable to open up their doors as the ice around it has them trapped inside and the engine of the cab was frozen and shuts off, the heater are off as well as both of them are feeling very cold inside the cab unable to get out. Blizzard then stands before the back door made of reinforced steel.

"Solid steel, typical... but we all know what happened to the Titanic with the iceberg, don't we?" Blizzard said.

Blizzard formed an ice armor around himself and placed his hand upon the crack of the steel doors and generates ice through it, all the ice within are expanding the steel, firing off the screws and bolts, Blizzard's ice armor protects him from the bolts and screws, he continues freezing until the steel doors expanded, Blizzard steps aside and lets the doors collapse down onto the ground, the back is now fully accessible as he shed his armor and climbs onto the back to see all the newly minted bills before him.

Blizzard chuckles sinisterly "Nice!"

Blizzard got started on collecting all the money he can carry and stuff them into duffel bags ignoring the police sirens coming from a distance, a couple of JCPD squad cars are arriving at the scene where the armored car is all frozen up, the cops got out of their cars and aim their weapons at the back, Blizzard just finished collecting all the money he can carry as he slowly gets out with two duffel bags upon seeing some cops here

"Freeze! This is the JCPD, you're under arrest, put your hands up in the air!"

Blizzard sighs. "Seriously, this never gets old."

Blizzard drops the bags and raised his hands up in the air as he slowly walks up to the cops aiming their weapons.

"Hey, did you not hear what we said?!"

"I know, I know... FREEZE!" Blizzard strikes back.

Blizzard unleashed a beam of ice upon the first squad car as the cops scattered away, the car froze up right before their eyes as Blizzard isn't playing around.

"OPEN FIRE!"

All the cops in the area open fire upon Blizzard who then formed an ice barrier from the ground to protect himself from the bullets, Blizzard still protected behind the barrier looks at the cops trying to get a hit on him, Blizzard forms up an ice hail ball in his hand about the size of a softball, he pops out from behind the ice barrier and launched an hail ball at one of the cops, the impact of the ball seriously injured him as he's down for the count, Blizzard kept on striking back tossing more hail balls at them. Meanwhile on a rooftop overlooking the scene is Jersey City's very own Ms. Marvel who spotted a new supervillain in town causing trouble for the JCPD, the cops are being taken down one by one as they're laying down on the snowy ground as Blizzard approached one of the injured ones.

"You cops are too fired up, you all seriously need to chill out." Blizzard said.

Blizzard raised his hand at the cop and charging up to freeze the guy to death, but all of a sudden a large hand extended nearby and shoved away Blizzard before he could do anything, the cops on the snowy ground all look to see Ms. Marvel here saved all their lives, they're all glad she came to their rescue in time, Blizzard is getting back up to see a young teenage superhero is responsible for that attack.

"And who are you suppose to be?" Blizzard asking.

"You must be new in town, so you probably haven't heard of me yet, my name is... Ms. Marvel, and you're on my turf, whoever you are." Ms. Marvel being energetic and acting confused.

"I'm deeply hurt, you haven't heard of me?" Blizzard felt somewhat insulted.

"Should I? Let me guess, Jack Frost?" Ms. Marvel goofing off.

"The name's Blizzard, kid, don't you forget it." Blizzard introduced himself.

"Oh, just like the ice cream from Dairy Queen! Wonderful, then I like the M & M mix if you please, it's my favorite." Ms. Marvel being playful.

"Do you take me for the Ice Cream Man?!" Blizzard felt mocked.

"Sorry, just that name Blizzard make me think about ice cream." Ms. Marvel joking around.

"It's just my name, you brat, but then again you probably won't live long enough for it to matter." Blizzard said.

"Don't underestimate me, just because I'm a kid, don't mean I won't kick your frosty butt." Ms. Marvel holding her fists up.

"Just try, this isn't the first time I've crossed path with one of you heroes, I took care of Iron Man easily, taking you down will be a piece of cake." Blizzard said.

Blizzard formed up a couple of hail balls in his hands as he launched them straight at Ms. Marvel, she swings her enlarged hand to divert the hail balls away from her, afterwards she counters with a straight punch with an enlarged fist, Blizzard formed up an ice barrier in front to protect himself, her fist is powerful enough to break through the ice and caught Blizzard by surprise as he got hit but with only minimum damage thanks to the barrier reducing it, he fell down on the ground as he's stunned by how she's able to best him easily, Ms. Marvel's combat skill improved lately than before.

"Huh? I underestimated you, kid." Blizzard is somewhat impressed.

Ms. Marvel places her hand over her fist. "I've learned from the best."

"Impressive, but still not good enough." Blizzard counters back.

Blizzard fires his ice beam but Ms. Marvel stretched her legs upwards and enlarged her fists again for a slam, Blizzard quickly jumps away and forms an ice sled for him to move around, Ms. Marvel stretches out her fists trying to get a hit on him sliding around, Ms. Marvel runs around while being tall trying to catch him as Blizzard looks back at the hero chasing after him, he needs to deal with her first before he escape with the money, he fires down a beam to freeze the ground into ice, Ms. Marvel got her feet down onto the ice as she's slipped over it, she felt back down onto the ground hard and shrinks back to her normal height, she attempts to get back up as much as possible but the ground is very slippery with all the ice around, she's barely keeping it together, Blizzard took the opportunity to fire his beams at her legs as Ms. Marvel felt the freeze happening and it's building up around her, trapping her arms and body in ice, except for her head, Blizzard slides down towards the ground and is in front of Ms. Marvel trapped in ice as she's all cold, shivering, and powerless before him.

"Not screaming for ice cream, are you kid? You put up a good fight, I'll give you that much, but this the end for you." Blizzard said.

Blizzard raised his hand to charge his power for another freeze beam upon Ms. Marvel to freeze her for good as she's can't do anything to escape it, but Blizzard stopped upon seeing more police coming his way from a distance, he stopped and walks back to pick up the duffel bags full of money he's stolen.

"You're lucky kid, afraid we're going to have to part way, as much as I love Jersey City, I'm going to have to move it up to the big city for the big score, people of New York City better beware, there's a Blizzard is coming in very soon." Blizzard being playful as he walks away leaving, but not before turning and giving Ms. Marvel one last look. "Have an ice night!"

Blizzard is forming an ice sled and making his escape with the money he's stolen, Ms. Marvel is trapped and realized that she's failed to stop him, but she's more worried for herself as she can feel the frost forming up around her, she's doing everything she can to get out of the ice before it's too late.

"Come... on..." Ms. Marvel feeling cold and weak. "Em... biggen..."

Ms. Marvel summons whatever strength was inside her as she expanded herself to break out of the ice, it worked and she's finally freed upon being enlarged but she quickly returned back to her normal size as she used up all her energy to escape, she then hears police sirens coming in closer to the scene, she resorted to making her escape, she managed to make her way towards an alleyway nearby and makes a desperate move, she pulls out her phone and calls her best friend Bruno.

"Kamala?" Bruno speaking on the phone.

"Bruno... I need... your help... please... come get me..." Ms. Marvel feeling cold and weak.

Ms. Marvel suddenly collapses onto the snowy ground, passed out from the cold as Bruno on the phone is calling out "Kamala? KAMALA?!"


The day is December 23rd around 6:45 AM in the morning in New York City, the whole city is snowing as the streets are building up snow and many trucks are working over time to move away some snow and workers moving around the sidewalks pouring in salt to get rid of the ice to prevent any accidents, meanwhile back in Lower East Side at the apartment, Peter and Gwen are both in their bedroom sleeping all naturally in their skins feeling each other for warmth, Peter suddenly wakes up as its morning time, he finds himself resting comfortably with the love of his life in his arms looking all beautiful sleeping, Gwen is starting to wake up to see Peter starring at her with a warm smile, she smiled back.

"Mmm, morning." Gwen smiled.

"Morning... or am I still dreaming?" Peter flirted.

Gwen leaned in closer and kisses Peter for a bit. "You tell me, does this seem like a dream?"

"If I am, then I never want to wake up from it, I want to stay in this dream... forever." Peter said.

"So do I, I imagine us staying together, maybe get married one day and have kids of our own, grow old." Gwen told of her dreams.

"Me too Gwendy... me too." Peter remained quiet upon this thought of hers.

Gwen then look at the window to see snow outside. "Still snowing as always, I'd rather stay in bed with you."

"I like the idea of us sleeping in our skins, keeps us pretty warm." Peter said.

"You know, there's a better way to stay very warm." Gwen flirted.

"What do you have in mind?" Peter asking.

Gwen leaned in closer and laid herself against Peter, both of them got to kissing again but this time passionately, they continue on kissing as their hearts are beating together, they're about to get intimate until the bedroom door opens up and Mary Jane is coming in to wake up the couple but she suddenly closes her eyes upon seeing them together in bed without any clothes on, Peter and Gwen stopped and covered up behind a blanket.

"OH GOD..." Mary Jane felt embarrassed looking away. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Ever heard of knocking?" Gwen covered up in a blanket.

"Sorry... I came by to let you know I'm making some hot coco, thought you want some, warm up your bones up a bit." Mary Jane looking away.

"Thanks, but I think we're already warming up our bones." Gwen smiled.

"Right... sorry." Mary Jane slowly closes the door.

Peter sighs. "That was awkward."

"She kinda took the fun out of this." Gwen said.

"Maybe she just wanted to help fulfill your fantasy about living in a chocolate house." Peter teasing.

Gwen smiles and sighs. "Never gets old... fine, might as well."

Gwen is getting off the bed giving Peter a perfect view of Gwen in her all natural beauty as she heading to the closet to get dressed, Peter smiled upon the wonderful sight of his girlfriend, but he thought about what Gwen said about her dreaming of the two of 'em living the married life together, he leans in and opens up the drawer, he find the two wedding rings he still left behind for about a month, he still hasn't told Gwen the surprise, what he wanted for them, he did think about marrying Gwen but he couldn't bring himself to propose even after he got his life back, he closes the drawer and leave the rings their untouched for now.

About 30 minutes later, Gwen is in the kitchen cooking up some egg in the baskets while Mary Jane is putting some touches on the hot chocolate using the skills she learned as a barista, she added some mini marshmallows along with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and some crushed candy canes on top, Mary Jane is doing her best not to say anything about the awkwardness that occurred earlier this morning, it was embarrassing, Peter is coming out of the bedroom all dressed up and walks up to the table just as Gwen finished making breakfast and placed it on the plate, she hands it to Peter.

"Thanks." Peter took the plate.

Mary Jane sighs. "I'm dying for a shower."

"Me too." Gwen said.

"The water heaters are still broken down?" Peter said.

"Unfortunately, our landlord is doing everything he can to get them working again as soon as possible." Mary Jane said.

"That's awfully kind of him." Peter said.

"You think, usually Mr. Ditkovich would often rant about rent as usual." Gwen said.

Mary Jane hands the couple two mugs of hot chocolate. "Here, a couple of Christmas specials."

"Thanks." Gwen took the mug.

"Thank you." Peter took the mug and drank it. "Mmm, this is pretty good, MJ."

"Taste like Christmas." Gwen likes the hot coco.

"Guess working as a barista has it's benefits." Mary Jane said.

Peter drank up his hot chocolate and started eating his breakfast along with everybody else, they all got to eating their breakfast until Peter's phone pinged from his pocket, he stopped eating his egg in the basket and pulls it out to check the text on the phone from his friend in Jersey City, his expression changed upon reading the text as Gwen and Mary Jane noticed it.

"What is it?" Gwen said.

"It's Kamala, said she needed to see me urgently." Peter said.

"About what?" Mary Jane said.

"Not sure, must be very important if she's asking to see me in person... I hope she's alright." Peter is getting worried.

"Well, why don't you go and check on her?" Gwen suggested.

"Yeah, I'll do." Peter said.

Peter is finishing up his breakfast and drinking up his hot chocolate before walking over and giving Gwen a kiss before he walks back to his bedroom to change into his costume, afterwards he climbs out of the window and jumps out swinging away in his Advanced Spider-Man suit with a backpack around his back, he swinging though the city heading towards Jersey City to see a friend in need.


Time is 7:35 AM in the neighborhood of Chelsea at a very fancy apartment, Randy Robertson is at the kitchen pouring in some coffee from the french press into the mug, afterward he drank the coffee as he spotted a female classmate from the university coming out of Harry's bedroom buttoning up her blouse, Randy smiled as he got the idea what happened last night, Harry came out and kissed her goodbye on the cheek and she headed towards the front door leaving the apartment, Harry yawns out feeling tired after waking up recently and walks up to the kitchen.

Randy raised his mug. "Want some coffee?"

"Thanks, could use the caffeine boost, I've been up all night." Harry smiled wiping his sleepy eyes.

"So I've noticed, you're taking this bachelor thing very too seriously." Randy smiled.

"Hey, there are perps to being rich, but hey you're not so bad at it yourself, I've seen the girls you've gone out with." Harry poured in the coffee in the mug.

"Except they're all just one time, never lasted more than a week or a day." Randy said.

Harry drank some coffee from the mug. "Mmm, I know the feeling, sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find someone special to share my life with, but hasn't happened yet."

"Yeah... honestly I actually envy Parker for what he and Stacy have." Randy said.

"What those two have is very real, no matter how many missteps they had in their relationship, they always find their way to each and their love only grows stronger, those two are definitely endgame." Harry smiled.

Randy smiles. "Gotta say, I do like dating women a lot, but... one of the downsides of being a bachelor, it can sometimes get lonely... I hope to have what they have one day."

"You and me both." Harry smiles.

Randy and Harry raised their mugs up in agreement as they want to have something great with someone one day just like Peter and Gwen, they got back to drinking their coffee until they heard the door knocking as someone is just outside their door. Harry puts aside the mug and walks up to the door wondering who it could be, maybe it's the girl he's recently hooked up with.

"Did you forget something?" Harry opens up the door and stunned upon seeing someone.

"I don't know, did I?"

"Oh my god... it's you." Randy walks up all stunned.

Harry and Randy are stunned upon seeing someone again after so long, a very dear friend of theirs.


Later around 8:10 AM in Jersey City, Spider-Man is swinging around the neighborhood where Kamala's family lives at, he found a place nearby to land and hide to change to keep this low profile as Peter Parker, sometime later he came out all dressed in his regular clothes consisting of blue jeans with black sneakers, his personal black leather jacket all zipped up wearing a red scarf, thermal gloves in his hands and a navy blue beanie, he walks around the neighborhood towards the Khan Residence as he found the address Kamala gave him, he walked up and rang the doorbell, the door opens up as Muneeba Khan sees someone she's unfamiliar with.

"Hi." Peter waved.

"Can I help you?" Muneeba Khan asking.

Bruno Carrelli came downstairs to the door. "It's alright, Kamala asked him to come. Hey, we meet again, you must be Peter Parker."

Peter smiled. "I'm guessing she already told you who I am."

"Of course... Spider-Man." Bruno Carrelli smiled.

Muneeba Khan looks stunned hearing this. "You're... Spider-Man?"

Peter nodded his head. "I am, I'm sorry to come here unannounced, but your daughter said she needed to see me urgently, any idea what it's about?"

Muneeba Khan remained calm. "Follow me."

Muneeba invited Peter inside her home as she and Bruno lead Peter upstair towards Kamala's room, they open up to see Kamala resting in her bed in her pajamas with her head against her sloth napping pillow surrounded by heaters warming her up in the company of her father Yusuf and her brother Aamir, they both greeted and welcomed Peter Parker as he got a bit worried how her family might react to him being the one who encouraged Kamala into this life, Yusuf went over to his daughter to wake her up from her sleep.

"Beta, wake up!" Yusuf trying to wake up Kamala.

Kamala is opening her eyes feeling the heat around her, she spotted her friend Peter Parker here.

"Spidey, you came." Kamala smiled.

"Hey Kamala, how are you feeling?" Peter asking.

"Honestly... feeling kinda hot right now, can anyone turn them off please?" Kamala feeling the heat.

Yusuf and Aamir smiled at Kamala's sense of humor as they both turned off the heaters in the room, Kamala is already warmed up enough.

"So what happened? Why did you call me?" Peter is curious about Kamala's need to see him.

"Do you all think you can give us some privacy to talk please?" Kamala asking Bruno and her family.

"Of course Beta, let's go." Yusuf Khan said.

"Take care." Aamir Khan said.

"I'm going to make you some soup." Muneeba Khan said.

Everyone is walking out of Kamala's room to give her and Peter some time to talk about recent events, Peter is more curious as to what happened that made Kamala bedridden, he could tell that she ran into some trouble recently but doesn't know from what. Bruno closed the door behind as they're alone to talk, Peter wanted ask her some serious questions.

"Okay Kamala, we're alone, now tell me what happened?" Peter asking.

Kamala sighs seriously. "Okay... I ran into some trouble last night, an armored car was robbed and the police failed to stop it, even I failed to stop it, this was different, he wasn't some thug, he's a supervillain."

"A supervillain? Who?" Peter asking.

"Some new guy, he calls himself Blizzard." Kamala said.

"Like the ice cream?" Peter is surprised.

"Yeah, I already told him that joke, I'm into M & Ms." Kamala smiled.

Peter smiled thinking about ice cream. "Hmm, I pretty much love the butterfinger mix... but were way off topic, please continue"

"Oh right, sorry, anyway I was just fighting against this baddie with everything you've taught me recently, but that wasn't enough, this Blizzard guy is on a whole other level, he can generate ice from his hands, capable of freezing anything in his path, he proved to be a bigger challenge for the cops and me to handle." Kamala describing Blizzard.

"Interesting, so his powers are very much identical to Iceman's." Peter is familiar with cryokinesis.

"It could've been a lot worse, this guy came close to turning me into a popsicle *sighs* I thought with the improvement I've made from your training I'd be able to stop him, but I failed, I let him get away..." Kamala is feeling down upon her failure.

"Hey, don't beat yourself up over it Kamala, we can't always be victorious, every now and then we would come across someone who can be a bigger challenge for us and we would be defeated often, but don't let this get you down, you just need to learn to pick yourself up and keep on going. You did all you could, if you weren't there, things could've turned out worse for everyone who was there, you saved them, you did your job the best you could, that's all that matters." Peter said.

Kamala smiled feeling better. "Thanks... one more thing, just before he escaped, he mentioned moving up to New York City, something about a big score, I don't know what that means but that where's he could be right now."

"I see, thank you for letting me know. Don't worry Kamala, I'll take it from here, you just get some rest with your sloth." Peter said.

Kamala looks upon the Sloth in her arms. "It's a napping pillow."

"Of course... take care Kamala" Peter smiled.

Kamala is resting up as Peter is leaving the bedroom after Kamala told him everything she knows about Blizzard and where he's heading next, he makes his way down stairs where the rest of the family and Bruno are waiting, Muneeba is making some soup for her daughter, Peter came downstairs and sees the rest of Kamala's family waiting and getting up seeing Peter in the living room.

"How is she?" Yusuf Khan asking.

"A little let down, but she's going to be fine, she's a tough one." Peter said.

Yusuf Khan smiled. "That's our Beta."

"Honestly I'm amazed how well you're all taking this, given everything that's happened to her, I thought you'll might be mad at me for dragging her into this life, which I'll understand." Peter said.

"At first we would be, this isn't quite the life I envisioned for her growing up... but, Kamala's done a lot of good in the past two months since she became Ms. Marvel, she's helped a lot of people for a good reason. Kamala talks about you a lot, told us how much you help change her life, even when she was being doubtful in herself, you encouraged her to stay true to who she is, I can see why she looks up to you. Back then she was an odd duck and now look at her, she fantasize about superhero and now she finally became one, it's all thanks to you." Muneeba Khan said.

"Listen, I won't take all the credit, she already had heart before I met her, she once told me good is not a thing you are, it's a thing you do." Peter said.

Yusuf Khan smiled. "I told her those words once."

"I see where she got it from, you all must be very proud." Peter said.

"We are, more than you know." Muneeba Khan is happy.

"Well, I should get going and find this Blizzard guy." Peter said.

"If you do find him, take him down." Aamir Khan being enthusiastic.

Peter smiled with thumbs up. "With pleasure."

Peter then leaves the residence after he vowed to take down Blizzard for his friend Kamala, Muneeba then took the tray of soup upstairs towards her daughter's bedroom.


Later around 8:45 AM back at Lower East Side, Gwen is in the kitchen washing dishes as Mary Jane is in her bedroom dressing up, getting ready for work as a barista, she eventually came out of the bedroom as she spotted Gwen finish wiping the last dish, Mary Jane still felt bad for what happened earlier this morning as she wants to make this right before she leaves for work.

"Listen... I'm... I'm very sorry about this morning, walking in the middle of your... you know..." Mary Jane said.

"Oh... don't worry about it, it was an accident, there's nothing to feel embarrassed about." Gwen smiled.

"Still, I know you and Peter have a very healthy imitate relationship, I should've known better." Mary Jane said.

"Mary Jane seriously, don't beat yourself over it, me and Pete understand." Gwen said.

Mary Jane smiled. "I'm amazed how well your relationship has grown, especially in the last month, since..."

"Yeah... Otto hijacking Pete's body and breaking my heart, never saw that coming, even though I was in so much pain and felt confused over another guy at the time, I could never forget Peter, I couldn't stop loving him." Gwen said.

"And he could never stop loving you, even after you told him about Darius, he still came back to you, your love for each other has only gotten much stronger... I envy what you two have, I really do." Mary Jane said.

"Thanks... for what it's worth, I truly hope you have that one day, you deserve someone who loves you for who you are, you're a wonderful woman Mary Jane." Gwen being sincere.

"I did have someone who made me feel like a wonderful woman, my true love... but he chose his true love in the end..." Mary Jane giving off an express.

Gwen knows she's talking about Peter, who is MJ's true love just like he's Gwen's, she can't help but feel a bit guilty for coming between them knowing how her best friend felt for Peter, Peter himself did have romantic feelings for Mary Jane on the same level he has with Gwen, but he chose to be with Gwen at the very end.

"Anyway, that's all in the past, you're his present, always and forever." Mary Jane said.

"Mary Jane..." Gwen said.

"I should get going, I'm going to be late for work." Mary Jane checks her phone and noticed it's very low on power. "Dang it, it's not fully charged, my old charger doesn't work anymore. Say, do you happened to have any spare chargers I can borrow?"

"I think Pete might have one in the drawer next to the bed, I don't think he'll mind if you borrow it." Gwen said.

"Thanks, you're a lifesaver." Mary Jane smiled.

Mary Jane went up to Peter and Gwen's bedroom to find the charger in the drawer next to the bed while Gwen got back to checking her phone she left in the kitchen, as she wants to check in on Peter about his trip to Jersey City, she reads a text sent from Peter telling her and the rest of his teammates to meet him at the Spider-Cave later, all a sudden Mary Jane yelled and caught Gwen's attention as she rushed into the bedroom where Mary Jane is shocked for some reason which made Gwen curious as to what the commotion is all about.

"Mary Jane, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Gwen asking very worried.

Mary Jane sighs calmly. "Yeah, I'm good."

"What is it? Did you see a rat or something?" Gwen asking again.

"No..." Mary Jane smiles and reached her hand into the drawer, she held a wedding ring in her fingers and shows it to Gwen. "This.."

Gwen's eyes widen. "Oh my... is that what I think it is?"

Mary Jane smiles. "Yes... 24 carat, I'm guessing family heirloom, I know that Peter loves, but I never imagine this much."

"You're saying that..." Gwen still stunned.

"Why else would he have this? Isn't it obivious... he's going to propose..." Mary Jane smiles.

Gwen gasps her hands on her mouth as she never imagine that her boyfriend would think about asking her to marry him and be his wife, this whole thing caught her by surprise but she can't help but being happy to the idea of spending the rest of her life by his side.


Around the same time at Brooklyn Visions Academy, Ganke and Miles are in their dorm rooms having coffee and some donuts from Peter Pan watching the news on the laptop about an event happening on Christmas Eve at F.E.A.S.T. where his mom would attend along with wealthy contributors and few prominent New Yorkers including Mayor Jameson, but it also shows footages of the federal reserve receiving more gold bullions to be safely stored behind heavy security.

"Tomorrow's charity event at the homeless shelter in Chinatown promises to be the most noble, especially around the holidays, a number of prominent New Yorkers including the honorable Mayor Jameson to support this noble cause, and in other news, the Federal Reserve, the world's most fortified bank just receive another shipment of gold bullion from the Republic of Delvadia for safekeeping..."

Ganke Lee closes the laptop. "So you're going to the event?"

"Of course, my mom work there, she's even bringing my dad along. Why don't you bring Danika as a date?" Miles suggested.

"That's not a bad idea, I think I will. What about you? You coming with a date too, aren't you ? Maybe with... Tiana?" Ganke Lee said.

Miles smiles. "I do like the idea going out with her..."

"But..." Ganke Lee said.

"I don't know if she'll want to come, think she'll be busy as always." Miles said.

"I don't get you two, you two clearly like each other, but it's been a month and neither of you have progressed in your relationship, what gives?" Ganke Lee said.

"Not sure, lately Tiana's been making an excuse for some reason, maybe we're just rushing into it so quickly." Miles said.

"Miles... do you really like Tiana?" Ganke Lee said.

Miles nodded his head. "Yes, she's wonderful."

"Then ask her out, make more of an effort, Christmas Eve is good time for romance." Ganke Lee said.

Miles smiles. "Yeah, it did wonders for Peter and Gwen, it's their special day."

"Then what are you waiting for? Go out there and ask here out, you can do this." Ganke Lee said.

Miles likes the idea of going on a romantic date with Tiana as he took his best friends advice and went out to ask the girl out. Meanwhile at Tiana's bedroom, her pet starling is in the cage drinking water as Tiana herself is at her laptop making some modifications on the schematics on her grandfather's Vulture technology to make it more her own, Tiana herself is an expert in engineering and has a gift in science just like her grandfather, so making modifying and building the tech isn't difficult for her to do by herself, she kept on working until the her dorm room door is knocking, she stopped her work wondering who it is.

"Who is it?!" Tiana asking whoever's outside her door.

"It's me, Miles!" Miles said outside her room.

"Give me a second, I'm coming!" Tiana said.

Tiana closes her laptop to hide what she's doing, she got up and walks over to the door, she opens up seeing Miles Morales here.

"Hey, sorry to disturb you, is this a bad time?" Miles is wondering

"No, no, of course not. What do you need?" Tiana said.

"Well... there's this charity event on Christmas Eve at the homeless shelter my mom works at." Miles said.

"That sounds wonderful, your mom is helping the homeless is a very noble thing, she sounds like a great woman." Tiana said.

"She is, she has a great heart... anyway, I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go out to the event with me as my date." Miles asking Tiana out.

"Wow... that's sounds great, but..." Tiana hesitate to give an answer.

"If you want, but if you're too busy, then I'll understand, I just thought you'd be interested. Please excuse me." Miles said before leaving.

Tiana really likes Miles a lot since the day they've first met and they just confessed to liking each other last month, but ever since her grandfather had to skip town, she's been somewhat sadden and keeping herself very busy in the past month on the Vulture tech her grandfather gifted to her before he left, she made some excuses to skip out on dating Miles to work on the technology, she realized that she hasn't had much time for fun, let alone dating anyone, maybe going out with Miles is exactly what she needs to feel happy again, she changed her mind at the last second.

Tiana peeked out of her dorm room as Miles is walking away. "Miles wait!"

Miles stopped and looks back at Tiana. "Yes?"

"Actually... I like to go out with you, if you're still interested." Tiana smiled.

Miles smiles. "Yeah..."

"Then it's a date... I'll see you tomorrow on Christmas Eve." Tiana smiled.

"Tomorrow then..." Miles felt happy.

Miles then leaves feeling happy Tiana is going out with him again, Tiana is also feeling happy getting to date Miles on Christmas Eve, she closed the door and walks back to the laptop as she decided to save it and work on the tech for another time, this time she wants to feel happy again being with boy she likes the most. Miles is still walking down the hallway feeling happy asking Tiana out, but his phone got a ping as he pulls it out of his pocket, his friend Peter wants him to meet up at the Spider-Cave later, he ran into Anya coming out of her dorm room with a phone in her hand, she spotted Miles here as they both got the same text from Peter.


Later around 9:31 AM at the Spider-Cave, Peter is here waiting alone after he just got back from Jersey City, he's still waiting for his teammates to come and give them the heads up on the new threat this city is facing, coming through the tunnel is Gwen Stacy as she's smiled upon seeing him which made Peter smile back with curiosity unaware that she's caught on to his surprise, she and Peter kissed and hugged each other right there.

"Hey, what's with you?" Peter still hugging.

"Nothing, just happy to see you, so how is your trip to Jersey City?" Gwen hugging back.

Peter lets go of Gwen. "It went well, just met Kamala and her family, but..."

"What is it?" Gwen is curious.

Coming into the Spider-Cave are Miles, Anya, and Ganke seeing Peter and Gwen together near the supercomputer, everyone gathered around as Peter has something to say to the group concerning a new supervillain.

"Hey, we got your text, why'd you ask us to come?" Miles is curious.

"Okay, I just came back from Jersey City, yesterday night Ms. Marvel came across a supervillain who robbed an armored car, he managed to overpower the police and Ms. Marvel tried to stop him, she failed and he managed to escape capture." Peter explained the situation.

"What about Ms. Marvel? Is she alright?" Miles asking.

"Don't worry, she's alright, if anything she was quite lucky, could've been much worse." Peter said.

"I'm glad to hear, but what do this got to do with us?" Anya said.

"She told me who was responsible." Peter said.

Peter then turns on the supercomputer as they all look at the photo of an Inhuman supervillain called Blizzard and his rap sheet.

"According to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files, his real name is Donald Gill, a career criminal with a rap sheet in B&E, armed robbery, and assaults, mostly operates in the West Coast committing a string of petty crimes, he was serving serious time in Corcoran that is until 9 months ago..." Peter explained.

"He's an Inhuman." Gwen guessed it.

"Exactly, he underwent terrigenesis and was endowed with the powers of cryokinesis, very identical to Iceman's, thanks to his new powers he was able to escape prison and since then he's moved up his game committing more crimes in the West Coast, Iron Man crossed paths with him and fought, he tried to stop him but also failed and was defeated, afterwards he's moved across the country committing the same crimes and taking out anyone who stands his way." Peter explained.

"Dang, there's a new guy who's too much for Ms. Marvel, even Iron Man to take down." Miles said.

"So where in Jersey City do we start?" Anya said.

"That's the thing, he's not in Jersey City, according to Kamala, he's here in New York for something big." Peter said.

"How big?" Miles said.

"I don't know, but whatever it, it might happen soon, we need to stop him before anymore innocent people get hurt." Peter said.

"I hope the four of us will be enough against this guy." Gwen said.

"So do I, but we've gone against worst things than him before, I'm sure we'll find a way to take this guy down as always." Peter said.

"You're right, between the four of us, we'll find a way." Miles said.

"Count me in." Anya said.

"I'll stick around and monitor for any signs of this Blizzard guy, he can't hide himself forever." Ganke Lee said.

"Alright, I gotta stop by Aunt May's house and check up on her, I know she's super busy preparing for the event." Peter said.

"Need me to come with you?" Gwen asking.

"Maybe another time, I gotta talk with her alone." Peter said.

"Sure..." Gwen until she forgot something on her mind. "Hold on Peter..."

Peter stopped himself from leaving. "What is it Gwen?"

"Is... there something you want to tell me?" Gwen itching with curiosity.

"Such as..." Peter acting clueless.

"Ah... nothing... just forget it... tell May I said hi." Gwen didn't press the surprise.

"Will do... I love you." Peter kissed Gwen before leaving.

"I love you too." Gwen watching Peter leave.

Gwen couldn't bring herself to spoil the surprise Peter has for her, but she got the sense that proposing isn't on his mind for some reason, but why else would he have wedding rings saved up in his drawer? Something doesn't add up, she wonders what's keeping him from popping the question.


Time is 10:34 AM at the Parker Residence in Forest Hills, Queens, May Parker is in the kitchen wearing an apron and mittens opening up the oven and pulling out a tray of gingerbread cookies as she's been super busy making some treats for the charity event tomorrow, opening up the front door is her nephew Peter Parker coming into the house smelling some great in the air as he went up to the kitchen finding his Aunt baking some delicious cookies, she smiled upon seeing her nephew here.

"Peter, didn't hear you coming." May said.

"Yeah, with all the snow around, it's not safe to ride a motorcycle. I see you're still baking your delicious gingerbread cookies." Peter likes what he sees.

"Made plenty for the event tomorrow." May said.

"I see." Peter attempts to reach out to a cookie until Aunt May hit his hand with a spatula. "Ow!"

"These are for tomorrow's event only, so hands off Cookie Monster." May said.

"Hey I can't help it, no one can resist your cookies, not even the God of Thunder, he ate a lot of them last year." Peter said.

"What an honor... so how are things with you?" May asking about his well being.

"It's been great as always, me and Gwen are still together, stronger than ever." Peter said.

"Is that all? Nothing else happened?" May is more curious.

"Meaning..." Peter asking.

"You still haven't... popped the question yet? With the wedding rings?" May asking about the proposal.

Peter sighs. "No... I haven't, I don't I ever could."

"Why not, Peter? You two are back together and clearly you two still love each other more than ever, so what's holding you back?" May is curious.

"You know why? I was going to propose to her last month, I wanted to make it very special, but that was until I got my body hijacked by Otto and every went downhill from there *sighs* just have another case of typical Parker Luck as always." Peter reminded of that incident.

"That was a month ago and Gwen understands that it wasn't your fault." May said.

"I know, but I just don't want to put through that ever again, maybe it's a sign that I'm not ready for such a commitment... it just enough to have Gwen back in my life as my girlfriend, I don't want to risk losing her again." Peter explained his fears.

"Peter... that's never going to happen, I know that you both had many ups and downs in your relationship cause what you both do as heroes, but no matter what obstacles were in your way, you both managed to overcome them and find your way to each other, what you both have is the rarest love there ever is, nothing could ever break that." May said.

"Otto almost did, for a while." Peter said.

"But Gwen understood and she came back for you, you even came back for her cause you love her." May said.

"I do love her, Gwen is everything to me, I can never imagine living my life without her." Peter said.

"Then ask her, propose." May said.

Peter is still doubtful. "What if something bad happens and I end up losing her?"

"Peter, we all thought we'd lost you back when we thought you gave up on all of us, none of us knew what was happening and we were just about to accept it, but by some miracle you've managed to reach out to us, gave us all a sign of hope, and we all took a chance and fought our way through hell to bring you back home to us, to Gwen." May said.

"What's your point, Aunt May?" Peter said.

"The point is, none of us could predict what could happen the next day, or even in the next minute, but you can't let that single misfortune affect the way you live your life, even in your relationship, you're still here and you still have a chance at real happiness with the woman you love the most... Peter... do you love Gwen Stacy?" May said.

"With all my heart." Peter being sincere.

"Then ask her, don't throw away your chance, you both deserve each other, trust me, you're both ready." May smiled.

Peter smiled. "Thank you Aunt May."

"So... I trust I'll see you both tomorrow." May said.

"We'll be there." Peter is reaching out and took a cookie.

Aunt May got a cookie swiped from her. "Hey!"

"What? Is just one cookie!" Peter smiled.

"Peter!" May felt annoyed.

"Love you! Bye!" Peter smiled as he eats and leaves the house.

May smiled as she watched her nephew leaving, she hopes that Peter will work up the courage to propose to the woman he loves. Peter is leaving the house eating the gingerbread cookie until he got a text from his phone, it's from his friend Harry who wants him to come back his apartment later on, he wonders what it's about.


It's 12:45 PM afternoon at a hideout in the Bronx, a local gang are hanging around taking inventory in all the stolen goods they have, they're all small time thieves trying to make a name for themselves and their numbers are high, so far they've engaged in petty crimes, nothing too big so far, but all a sudden a door opens up as Blizzard just invited himself in without any invitation, everyone just stopped as he looks around the place and the numbers of henchmen here.

"Hmm, this will do nicely." Blizzard smiles.

"Who the hell are you?"

"The name's Blizzard and I have a proposition for you all." Blizzard said.

"Don't care, get lost!"

"Oh come on, don't be like that, what I have planned will change all your minds." Blizzard said.

"Are you deaf or something? Get the hell out, Freak!"

"Mmm, no!" Blizzard smiled.

"Screw it, kill his ass!"

All the thugs here are pulling out their guns and aims at Blizzard, the supervillain isn't too worried for his life as he knows he can take 'em on by himself, he secretly forms up hail balls in the palm of his hands, they all opened fired as he ducks down and launched some balls at some thugs, taking each of them down one by one easily, the boss of the gang is troubled by how easily this guy is taking down his men, he attempts to make a run for it, Blizzard was paying attention to the man escaping, he unleashed a beam of ice upon the ground as the boss tripped over the ice and fell down, Blizzard already took down most of the gang as he walks over to the boss attempting to get back up on the icy floor.

"Here, allow me." Blizzard grabbed his hand and pulls him up, his hand still grips the boss's as it's starting to freeze upon contact. "I was very serious about my proposition, it would've been well worth your while. It's a shame you won't live to reap the benefits."

The boss is powerless to resist Blizzard's power as his entire body is being all frozen up right up to the head before everyone's eyes, Blizzard smiled as he slowly shoved the frozen crime boss down till he broke into pieces right before everyone, Blizzard just killed him.

"Well... it seems like your gang is lacking leadership, I nominate myself, anyone care to challenge?" Blizzard asking the rest of the gang who seemed quiet and fearful. "Nobody? Good, then listen up and listen good, I have a proposition for the heist of the lifetime, follow me and we all shall be rewarded, rich beyond imaging that we'll never have steal again, interested?"

The whole gang seemed tempted by Blizzard's offer, he singlehandedly took control of the entire gang as he's about to pull off the biggest heist soon with their help, whatever he's planning to steal is enough for the whole gang including Blizzard himself.


Time is 4:01 PM in Chelsea just outside the apartment complex, Mary Jane has already gotten off work and is all dressed up in her regular clothes wearing a pink snow jacket along with a beanie on her head as she spotted Peter in his regular attire along with Gwen in a green snow jacket coming her way as they all got the same message to come to Harry's apartment building.

Peter waved. "Hey MJ."

"Hey Tiger, you both got the same text too?" Mary Jane asking.

"Yeah, guessing you got one too just like us." Gwen said.

"Any idea why Harry wants us to come?" Peter said.

"Don't know, guessing it must be a surprise." Mary Jane said.

"Only one way to find out, let's go." Peter said.

All three enter the building and made their way inside towards the elevator, eventually they all made it to the floor where their friend's apartment is on, they all walk down the hallway until they've reach the apartment door and knocked twice, someone came up and it's their friend Harry Osborn along with Randy Robertson.

"Glad you all made it, come in." Harry invited his friends inside.

They entered the apartment and gazed upon the beauty of it, much more roomy and fancier than the apartment they share at Lower East Side with a perfect view of the neighborhood.

"Wow!" Mary Jane looking around amazed.

"Very impressive." Peter is also amazed.

"Glad you're very pleased Pete, it's too bad you turned down my offer being my roomie the first time, you would've loved it here." Harry said.

"I got no complains, as long as I'm with Gwen, any place feels like home." Peter said.

"So why did you text us to come here? What's this all about, Harry?" Mary Jane asking her friend.

"I know that voice, could that be the beautiful voice of Mary Jane Watson?"

All three heard that voice coming from the other room, it sounded all too familiar, coming out of the room is someone they've never thought they see again so soon, this person is none other than their friend and former classmate from high school, Flash Thompson, all three are very stunned to see him again. The man is about 18 years of age and stands around 6' 2" with a buzz haircut.

"What? No one happy to see me?" Flash smiles.

"Oh my god, Flash." Mary Jane walked up and hugs him tightly.

"Hey MJ, I missed you too, still lovely as ever." Flash hugging MJ for a bit.

"It's good to see you too, Flash." Gwen greeted.

"On my god, you're quite divine yourself Gwen Stacy, feels like I'm falling in love." Flash flirts.

Peter coughed sightly. "You do know I'm still in the room, don't you?'

"I know, still amazed she's stayed with someone as puny as you." Flash teasing Peter, til he switched to being seriously. "Still, it's good to see you too, Parker."

Peter then smiled. "You too Flash, good to have you back home. It's been a while since high school, didn't think we'd see you so soon?"

"You kidding me Parker, I miss New York, besides I can't let you have these two fine ladies all to yourself from what I've heard." Flash still joking.

"So give us the good news, Army Man? Is it official or are you still a grunt?" Harry eager for the news.

"Nope, you're looking at Corporal Eugene Thompson of the 75th Ranger Regiment." Flash told them of his rank.

"That's amazing, congratulations." Peter is impressed.

"Thanks, though I have yet to be deployed for some action, for now I'm still stationed at Georgia til I'm called for service, so I thought I use my free time to come visit home for the holidays. So... tell me everything I've missed since I've been away." Flash said.

"Oh you missed a lot, just last summer everyone in the city got spider powers just like Spider-Man." Randy talking about Spider-Island.

"Really? Dang, I missed it." Flash is somewhat disappointed.

"Well, just be glad you weren't here and you didn't get bitten, everyone infected eventually turned themselves into spider monsters." Harry said

"Whoa." Flash is surprised.

But thankfully everyone got to turn back to normal at the end, all thanks to Spider-Man." Harry said.

"Still the hero as always." Flash smiled upon hearing Spider-Man.

"Still your hero." Randy said.

"Alright, alright, anything else I missed?" Flash asking.

"Oh yeah, now that you mentioned it, something very interesting did occur in the summer, these two right here vacationed at my house in the Hamptons, they lost their cherries one night." Harry said.

"HARRY!" Gwen and Peter blushed and said in unison, feeling embarrassed.

Flash looks stunned by this surprise. "Really? Dang Parker, didn't think you had it in you, even you Stacy."

"Come on Flash, it's not that big of a deal." Peter said.

"No need to feel embarrassed you two, I'm actually happy for you both, you two been together for years, guess I had a feeling this was bound to happen at some point in your relationship. What's next, wedding bells?" Flash said.

Peter and Gwen are being quiet upon hearing those words as it's been on their minds lately, but nothing has happened so far.

"Ah..." Gwen being odd.

"We... haven't talked about it yet." Peter being odd too.

"Yeah, what he said." Gwen being odd.

"Okay? How about you MJ? Still pursuing acting?" Flash being curious.

"Yeah, still a little behind on reaching my goal, had to work part time as a barista to save up for acting school, still no closer." Mary Jane said.

"Sorry to hear that." Flash said.

"It's fine, it's gonna take a little more than minimum wages to stop me from pursuing my dreams." Mary Jane said.

"Keep it up MJ, I know that you'll make an amazing actress one day." Flash said as Mary Jane smiles in appreciation.

"Bye the way, there's going to be an event tomorrow, any of you coming?" Peter asking.

"My dad is going to be there as a guest." Randy said.

"I'm gonna be there as well representing Oscorp since my dad is super busy going to events like this." Harry said.

"Why don't you come Flash? I'm sure Aunt May will be happy to see you again." Peter suggested.

"Why not? I'll be there." Flash said.

Everyone is in agreement to attend the event on Christmas Eve as they got back to talking a lot and catching up, Gwen and Mary Jane are looking at Peter wondering why he hasn't popped the question yet as Peter isn't aware they're onto his surprise, Peter is listening to his friends chatting as he's still thinking about whether to ask Gwen to marry him, but he's still a little doubtful whether to ask her to take the biggest risk of her life in being his wife, but he doesn't want to lose her too, he's feeling conflict.


Later around 5:30 PM back at Lower East Side, Mary Jane and Gwen just returned home after spending sometime chatting with their friend Flash Thompson visiting for the holidays, Ms. Lion is barking upon seeing the girls here, Mary Jane lowered herself down and petted her dog as she got back up and went over to fetch a snack, she poured it into the bowl and gave it to Ms. Lion to chow down like crazy, the girls got something that's been on their minds since this morning.

"Well that went well." Mary Jane said.

"Yeah, it's not everyday we get to see our friend Flash, and a ranger no less." Gwen said.

"He's certainly come a long way and doing well for himself, I envy him." Mary Jane said.

"Don't be so down on yourself, you'll reach your goal one day." Gwen said.

"Thanks... speaking about our futures, what about yours? Do you see yourself being Mrs. Gwen Parker? Tell me, where do you two see yourselves?" Mary Jane itching to know.

Gwen smile while fantasying about her future with Peter "Gwen Parker? I like the sound of that, let's see... I'm thinking about me and Pete settling in a nice house together, we'd have a kid, most likely a boy that looks like Pete, and Pete would just come back from work all tired out, he'd laid his head down on my lap looking straight at me, telling me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me."

Mary Jane smiles. "Sounds beautiful."

"Still... I wonder when he'll propose or... if he ever will." Gwen is being doubtful.

"What do you mean?" Mary Jane said.

"Have you noticed it when Flash brought it up? Pete was being nervous." Gwen said.

"Maybe he didn't want to spoil the surprise when the time came." Mary Jane said.

"No... I got the feeling there's something else, some other reason he's been holding back." Gwen got a sense of something.

"You think he's been holding off on proposing? Nah, that can't be, why else would he have those wedding rings? What's stopping him from giving you the surprise of your life?" Mary Jane said.

"Surprise..." Gwen is thinking about something from that single word.

"What?" Mary Jane is confused.

"Of course, that's what he meant..." Gwen realized something from before.

Mary Jane has no idea what Gwen is talking about, Gwen remembered something from last month during her conversation with Otto who was controlling Peter's body at that time, he told she was in for quite a surprise once she saw Peter again, he was talking about this, but why was Peter holding back from asking her for a month? All of a sudden her phone is ringing as she snapped out of her thoughts and pulls out her phone, it's from Ganke Lee.

Gwen answered the phone. "Ganke, you got something for me?"

"Yeah, a police convoy escorting an 18 wheeler is under attack at the Williamsburg Bridge, police are saying that someone with icy powers is giving them trouble, it's gotta be Blizzard, I've already notified the others and gave them the location." Ganke Lee said.

"Okay, I'm on my way." Gwen hangs up.

"Let me guess, trouble?" Mary Jane figured.

"Yeah, I gotta get going. Wish me luck." Gwen is rushing towards her bedroom.

"Good luck." Mary Jane said.

Gwen closed the door behind her as she changed out of her clothes and suits up in her Ghost-Spider costume, afterwards she climbs out of the window and swings away to face Blizzard, as she's swinging through the city she's joined by Spider-Man in his advanced suit, they both swing together until joining them are Kid Arachnid and Spider-Girl, all four are joined up together heading to confront Blizzard.


It's 5:55 PM at the Williamsburg Bridge as a lot of innocent people are running away from the scene, an ice barricade is blocking the way to Brooklyn, the police convoy is pinned down unable to escape as Blizzard is keeping the cops occupied as each of them are being pinned down and few already became frozen in ice, Blizzard didn't come alone as he brought his new crew with him, Blizzard then neutralized the last cop on the bridge as he and his crew are making their way to the back of the police trailer, Blizzard grab the lock on the trailer door and began freezing it up till it can't take the freeze anymore and breaks off.

"That should do it, open up." Blizzard said.

A couple of thugs complied and lift up the trailer door as the whole crew including Blizzard gazed upon an entire arsenal of illegal guns, ammo, and explosions used in real crimes and taken into NYPD possession.

"Dang!"

"Start collecting gentlemen, only take what's needed for the heist." Blizzard gave the order.

The crew climbed onto the trailer and started collecting specific types of weapons Blizzard needed for the big heist, including armored piercing rounds and C4, the crew packed up everything needed and loaded them out of the trailer, they're loading them up onto the van as a couple of them spotted some heroes swinging their way.

"Boss!"

Blizzard spotted the Web-Warriors. "Go... I'll deal with them."

Everyone packed up every weapon they've got onto the van and they climbed in, the van drives away from the bridge and got past the barricade as Blizzard stayed behind to take on the heroes of New York, the heroes are seeing a van making a run for it, but Blizzard decides to keep them occupied as he unleashed hail balls at the heroes.

"Take evasive action!" Spider-Man tells his team.

The Web-Warriors all scatter away as Blizzard is still launching his assault against them, the van managed to escape the scene with all the weapons they need for the heist, the Web-Warriors landed down onto the bridge to meet the supervillain in person, Blizzard.

"The heroes of New York City, we meet at last." Blizzard said.

"Blizzard I take it." Spider-Man knows his name.

"Wow, so the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has heard of me, what an honor." Blizzard said

"I know exactly who you are and what you've done in Jersey City." Spider-Man said.

"Oh I see, you must be talking about my encounter with Ms. Marvel." Blizzard said.

"She happens to be a friend along with Iron Man, you hurt them both badly." Spider-Man said.

"Oh, they were your friends? Gosh I'm sorry, those two just made the mistake of getting in my way, it wasn't personal." Blizzard said.

"You almost killed them and hurt a lot of innocent people, so that makes it personal. Why are you here? What are you up to?" Spider-Man said.

"I could tell you, but then I'll have to kill you all, which is fine by me." Blizzard said.

Blizzard suddenly strikes with an ice beam without hesitation or any warning as the Web-Warriors all scattered away, the beam hits one of the car and froze it up completely right before their eyes.

"Whoa, that was a close one!" Spider-Girl said.

"This guy isn't messing around." Kid Arachnid said.

"Now you're catching on Kid, leave now while you still can." Blizzard said.

"Afraid we can't do that." Spider-Man said.

"Fine, then you all shall freeze." Blizzard said.

Blizzard fire a beam of ice at Spider-Man as he jumps up and counters by firing a volley of webbing at the villain, Blizzard unleashed a gust of ice upon the webbings as they're all frozen solid and fell down on the ground into pieces, Blizzard was sidetrack to notice Kid Arachnid coming his way cloaked, the hero appears and strikes with a venom punch, knocking Blizzard down to the ground, Kid Arachnid is coming in for another venom punch as Blizzard forms up an ice barrier to protect himself, Kid Arachnid's fist hits the barrier but didn't destroy it, Blizzard forms up a huge hail ball in his hand and sends it towards Kid Arachnid, knocking him down to the ground.

Blizzard is getting back up and reached his hand out to freeze the down hero, but Spider-Girl intervened swinging in his path, Blizzard noticed her coming as he then formed up another hail ball in his hand and strikes hard at the swinging Spider-Girl, knocking her out of the air and sending her crashing into the trailer as all the weapons pilled down upon her, Spider-Girl is injured upon being bested by a supervillain, he's proven to be quite a challenge even for the team, she looks around at all the confiscated weapons here, but the one that caught her attention is the fuel tanks with a hose attached to a flamethrower, this gives her an idea.

While both their teammates are down for the count, Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider are teaming up to take down Blizzard together as much as they could with their combined effort, Spider-Man swings from one side while Ghost-Spider swings at another, trying to confuse the villain, Blizzard is having a hard time getting a read on his opponents, they both came at him from both sides, Blizzard then resorted to unleashed a wave of frozen wind all around him, catching both heroes by surprise as the wave sends them flying both ways, Spider-Man crashed himself against a taxi cab while Ghost-Spider fell down towards the ground.

Blizzard is deciding which hero should be the first to freeze up, he looking upon Ghost-Spider down on the ground and picked her, Blizzard is heading her way as Spider-Man sees that Ghost-Spider is in trouble. Ghost-Spider is still too injured to get back up as Blizzard has her in his sights, reaching out his hand preparing to freeze her, Spider-Man is doing everything he can to recover before it's too late.

"You look pretty, how would you like to be an ice sculpture?" Blizzard charging up his powers.

"NO!" Spider-Man yells out.

Spider-Man got back up on his feet and rushed in to save her, Blizzard's powers are charged up and he unleashed a beam of ice upon Ghost-Spider as she awaits the inevitable, but Spider-Man stepped in and took the hit, the beam is freezing him up right before Ghost-Spider's eyes as she's stunned he gave himself to protect her without hesitation, Blizzard stopped as he looks upon Spider-Man frozen in ice.

"SPIDEY!" Ghost-Spider yells out in fear.

"Wow, I did not see that coming, never expected Spider-Man to swoop in and take the freeze, how noble. Let's see how fragile he really is?" Blizzard said.

Blizzard is about to make a move to finish off Spider-Man frozen in ice, but Spider-Girl came out of the trailer armed with a flamethrower, she fired off a burst of flames upon Blizzard before he could anything to Spider-Man, he was caught off guard and took the heat, he felt weaken and injured by the flames as it's his weakness, Spider-Girl is stilling unleashing flames from the flamethrower to force Blizzard back to save her friends.

"Can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen!" Spider-Girl with the flamethrower.

"Damnit! Have no choice!" Blizzard is feeling weaken.

Blizzard jumped off the bridge and formed an ice bridge as the hero look out to see him making his escape, but their biggest worry is their friend Spider-Man frozen in ice, Ghost-Spider got up and went to check up on him as did her teammates all worried.

"Oh my god! He's frozen solid!" Kid Arachnid said.

"We gotta do something fast!" Ghost-Spider said.

Spider-Girl thought of something. "I got it!"

"What is it?" Kid Arachnid said.

"Is his suit fireproof?" Spider-Girl said.

"Yeah, why?" Ghost-Spider asking as Spider-Girl is holding up a flamethrower and shot a short burst.

"You sure that's a good idea?" Kid Arachnid being doubtful.

"You got a better idea?" Spider-Girl said

Ghost-Spider sighs as she's out of options. "Do it."

"Okay, stand back." Spider-Girl said.

Ghost-Spider and Kid Arachnid backed away from a distance, Spider-Girl is standing in front of a frozen Spider-Man trapped in ice, Spider-Girl sighs as she works up the courage to do what needs to be done to save her friend, she used the flamethrower and unleashed a burst of flames upon the ice surrounding Spider-Man, she kept on unleashing flames as Ghost-Spider and Kid Arachnid are being prayerful that this will work, the ice is starting to melt bit by bit as Spider-Man is being thawed out of the ice, Spider-Girl stopped the flame burst as everyone watched as Spider-Man is unfrozen and falls down onto the road, Ghost-Spider and Kid Arachnid rushed over to his side, Ghost-Spider reach out to check out his neck for any signs of life.

"No pulse! He's not breathing!" Ghost-Spider is panicking.

"Then there's no time!" Kid Arachnid said.

Kid Arachnid held out his hands with venom energy, he placed them between Spider-Man's heart and unleashed a voltage of bio electricity to get it beating again but nothing happened, he's still in cardiac arrest.

"Nothing, hit him again!" Ghost-Spider said.

Kid Arachnid charged up his hands and placed them between Spider-man's heart, he repeats the process again to get the heart being again, but still nothing happened.

"It's not working, we're losing him!" Kid Arachnid said.

"No, we're not! Not again!" Ghost-Spider said.

Ghost-Spider then pulls up Spider-Man's mask partially, she then pulls her mask partially, she reach down and performed CPR, mouth-to-mouth, getting him to breath again, but nothing happened, she then switched to chest compressions, doing her absolutely best to get him to breath again.

"Come on, don't you dare die on me!" Ghost-Spider said.

Ghost-Spider performed more mouth-to-mouth, breathing in air, she does more chest compressions getting his heart beat as hard as she can as she's starting to fear the worst.

"Please don't you go, I can't lose you again, come back to me!" Ghost-Spider pleading.

Ghost-Spider kept on doing chest compressions until Spider-Man started to breathing again, Ghost-Spider is relieved as are Kid Arachnid and Spider-Girl, Spider-Man is still alive but he's shivering from all the cold his body is exposed to, Ghost-Spider hugs him tightly as he keeps on shivering.

"Gwen... I..." Spider-Man shivering.

"It's okay, I'm here Pete, you're okay!" Ghost-Spider hugging him tightly in relief.


It's 7:45 PM back at the hideout in the Bronx, the crew are unloading the confiscated weapons they've took off from that police trailer, assault rifles, RPGs, plastic explosives, and armored piercing rounds, they've almost got everything they needed for the big heist happening soon, coming into the hideout is their boss Blizzard who looks very injured from the fight with the heroes.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine... did you get the weapons I asked for?" Blizzard still hurt.

"Yes, assault rifles, RPGs, explosives, and armored piercing rounds, everything we need to take on a small country."

"Excellent, everything is going as planned." Blizzard is pleased.

"Is it? What about those heroes? They still present a problem for us."

"Not to worry, I've already took care of one of them, Spider-Man, he's frozen like a fish." Blizzard said.

"You serious?"

"Very, though I was caught off guard and was forced to retreat, but not to worry, if we ever do run into them again, I'll finish them off for good." Blizzard said.

"So what's the next step boss, attacking a police convoy will draw a lot of attention, this could complicate things for the heist."

"Not to worry, taking the necessary weapons was the first step, next step is the throw the whole city into chaos." Blizzard said.

"How are we going to do that?"

Blizzard chuckles sinisterly as he has something big in mind for the city that'll keep everyone occupied while he and his crew buy some time to plan the next step in their biggest heist.


Time is 8:03 PM back at Lower East Side at the apartment, Peter is in his bed shivering with any clothes on with his Advanced suit set aside nearby, he's covered underneath a blanket surrounded by heaters trying to keep his body temperature normal as much as possible, he's surrounded by Gwen,, Miles, and Anya in their costumes along with Mary Jane and Ms. Lion, all very worried for their friend after their encounter with Blizzard almost ended in tragedy.

"Is he going to be okay?" Mary Jane said.

"He's been exposed to sub zero temperature, we gotta keep him as warm as possible." Gwen said.

"What happened out there?" Mary Jane said.

"Blizzard happened, Peter is like this because of me." Gwen is blaming herself.

"Gwen, that's not true." Anya said.

"That freeze was meant for me, but Pete took it instead, he did it to protect me." Gwen feeling guilty.

"Of course he would, he would've done it without hesitation, the only one who's to blame for what's happening to Peter is Blizzard." Miles assured.

"He's right, he's the one who almost killed our friend, remember that." Anya said.

Gwen stopped blaming herself for this situation upon her friends telling her she's not to blame, Blizzard is the one who's done this to Peter.

"Thank you both." Gwen said.

"Anytime." Miles said.

"Okay, now we're done blaming ourselves, tell me exactly what happened out there? What did Blizzard want on the bridge?" Mary Jane said.

"He attacked a police convoy escorting a truck filled with weapons seized as evidence on their way to be melted down and destroyed, he and his crew managed to make off with some weapons before we arrived." Miles said.

"I don't get it, this doesn't fit Blizzard's MO, he would often just work solo on robbing banks, why would he rob weapons from the NYPD?" Anya said.

"Not sure, I think taking those guns are only the tip of the iceberg, it's like he needs them for something." Gwen suspects something.

"But what?" Miles said.

"Not sure, whatever it is must be happening soon, we need to find him and stop him?" Gwen said.

"Stop him? How? You saw how tough this guy is, what he did to Pete, Iron Man couldn't stop him, Ms. Marvel couldn't stop him, even we couldn't stop him." Miles being doubtful.

"So what are you saying? We should just give up and let this guy get away with everything?" Gwen protests.

"No, of course not, none of us are saying that, but what chance do we have against a guy like him?" Miles still doubtful.

"That's enough, fighting against each other isn't going to solve this, nor is it going to help us catch this guy." Anya intervened.

Gwen sighs calmly. "You're right... I'm sorry Miles, I got too worked up, it's just... Pete almost died, I guess I made it personal."

Miles sighs calmly too. "I'm sorry too, I want to get this guy as much as you... just, I don't know how we can stop someone who's managed to best all four of us."

"You got a point, Blizzard is too much for us, but we can't give up, we've gone against worst things than him before and we always managed to beat them, I'm sure the four of us will think of something." Gwen said.

"You're right, we can't let him get away with everything, especially for what he did to Peter." Miles agrees.

"Agreed, this guy is going down." Anya also agrees.

All three heroes agreed to work together to take down the villain who almost killed their friend, Gwen is still looking at Peter still shivering uncontrollably underneath the blanket trying to stay warm surrounded by heaters warming him up.

(Power Plant)

At the same time at the local power plant in Manhattan, a number of security and plant personal are frozen up in ice as Blizzard is here alone, there's no one left to stop him as he gazed upon all the power generators here powering up the entire city, the whole city is dependent on so much power especially in the winter, all that power is keeping the city warm for everyone in need to survive the cold temperature, but Blizzard has got other plans for the city.

"So much power here, being wasted, but no more... the Blizzard has come to New York!" Blizzard chuckles sinisterly.

Blizzard walks up between massive power generators still generating electricity to the whole city, he reach out his hands on both sides charging them up with sub zero energy, he then unleashed them upon all the generators here and freezing them all up, the machinery within are being filled with ice and expanding all the metal with so much ice until they started causing damages to the generators right up to the point where they stopped generating power. Blizzard stopped himself after he did his part in freezing up the generators and looks out to the city, all the lights are suddenly shutting off one at a time.

(Chelsea)

At the apartment in Chelsea, Flash is staying with Harry and Randy watching a movie on the 8K TV in the living room until the lights here turned off all of a sudden, which made them very worry.

"What the?" Randy looking around.

(Chinatown)

At the homeless shelter in Chinatown, May and her staff are feeding and providing shelter for the homeless during theses cold winters, some staff including Rio Morales are organizing everything for tomorrow's charity event on Christmas Eve, but the lights here turned off without warning and the heaters keeping the place warmed are turned off.

"Oh dear, what's happening?" May is worried.

(Lower East Side)

The heaters are still on keeping Peter warm in bed until the lights in the room suddenly shuts off along with the heaters, the whole room went dark as Gwen, Miles, Anya, and Mary Jane are worried by this sudden blackout, Mary Jane went over to the living room to see all the lights here are shut off along with the TV that was still on.

"Strange, everything is turned off." Mary Jane said.

Miles went to the window to take a peek outside to see its not just their place, every light around Manhattan are turned off, the whole city is without power for some reason, this whole situation is making everyone worried.

"It's not just us, the whole city has gone dark." Miles said.

"What's going on?" Gwen is worried.

Peter is still shivering in cold as Gwen is more worried for his health.

"Pete..." Gwen placed her hand on his forehead. "Oh my god, you're still cold."

"Something is going on out there, there's no power." Miles said.

"Do you think this has something to do with Blizzard?" Anya is curious.

"Don't know, but we can't ignore this, we need to go out and investigate." Miles said.

"I can't leave Pete like this." Gwen said.

"Gwen..." Peter still weak and cold.

"What is it?" Gwen said.

"Go... help... save... this... city..." Peter speaking shivering and weak.

"Pete... are you sure?" Gwen asking as Peter nodded his head in approval.

"He's right, we have to help everyone as soon as possible." Miles said.

"Go Gwen, I'll stay here, I promise to take good care of him." Mary Jane said.

"Thank you..." Gwen then leaned in and kissed Peter on the lips. "I'll be back soon."

"Alright." Miles puts on his mask and became Kid Arachnid. "Let's get going."

Anya puts her mask on and became Spider-Girl. "He'll be alright."

"I know." Gwen smiled as she puts on her mask and became Ghost-Spider. "Let's head out."

Ghost-Spider takes the lead as she jumps out of the window along with Kid Arachnid and Spider-Girl as all three are swinging around the city that has gone dark due to a blackout, Mary Jane looks out the window as her friends are on their way to help save the city while she stayed behind took take care of Peter still shivering in bed, she can only hope everything will turn out fine for everybody's sake.


Later around 9:01 PM at the local power plant in Manhattan, the whole city is still dark without power as the NYPD are outside the plant with the sirens on, the power generators inside are completely damaged beyond repair as Captain Watanabe doesn't like the situation this whole city is facing, coming in swinging are the Web-Warriors lead by Ghost-Spider as the captain is coming out of the plant to meet the heroes and inform them on the situation.

"Hey Captain, what do we have here?" Ghost-Spider said.

"Blizzard has struck again." Yuri Watanabe said.

"He was here? Why?" Ghost-Spider said.

"See for yourselves." Yuri Watanabe said.

Yuri Watanabe leads the heroes into the power plant where they passed by a few people frozen in ice courtesy of Blizzard's powers, but what caught their attention is the massive power generators all expanded and damaged by so much ice.

"Dang, he did all this?" Kid Arachnid said.

"Yeah, the generators are completely wrecked, damaged beyond repair, and this city is now facing a total crisis." Yuri Watanabe said.

"We know, without any power to provide warmth, this whole city and everyone in it will be frozen to death." Ghost-Spider said.

"Dios mío... this guy must be so cold hearted to do something like this without caring about any lives." Spider-Girl said.

"We already know that, but the question is why? Why attack this plant? For what purpose?" Kid Arachnid said.

"We'll worry about that later, right now we gotta figure out a way to get power to the whole city before it's too late." Ghost-Spider said.

"How? These generators won't work anymore, Blizzard saw to it." Yuri Watanabe said.

"Hang on, wasn't it two years ago there was a sudden blackout when Electro stole the entire city of power." Kid Arachnid said.

"Of course, the Arc Reactor at Avengers Tower, it's capable of providing enough energy to the entire city, that could work." Ghost-Spider said.

"Great, you better get started, the whole city is in your hands now, save everyone before it's too late." Yuri Watanabe said.

"You can count on us, let's get going." Ghost-Spider said.

"Lead the way." Kid Arachnid said.

"Let's go." Ghost-Spider said.

The Web-Warriors are rushing and swinging away from the power plant, Ghost-Spider is leading the team to Avengers Tower where they can find the power source necessary to save the city from being frozen, everyone's lives depends on it, it's up to the heroes to save them.


It's 10:30 PM back in Lower East Side, the whole neighborhood is still dark without power as people in the surrounding neighborhoods are struggling to survive during these cold winters, Mary Jane is still in the bedroom looking after Peter Parker still shivering underneath the blankets having a hard time staying warm, even more so without any heaters providing warmth, Mary Jane is taking a peek at the window to see the whole neighborhood is still dark as she's getting more worried than ever.

Mary Jane sighs uneasy. "I hope you all find a solution very soon, for all our sakes."

Peter is shivering more uncontrollably than ever as Mary Jane heard him, she walks over and sat by his side, she's more worried for his health.

"What is it, Tiger?! What's wrong?!" Mary Jane is all worried.

Peter is still shivering as she placed her hand on his forehead to test his temperature, its dropping low which isn't normal.

"Oh my god, you're freezing ice cold! What do I do?!" Mary Jane is panicking.

Peter is feeling more colder than ever, without the heaters to provide him warmth, he won't make it through the night, he'll pass out from the cold again unless he gets warmed up somehow, Mary Jane is trying to figure something out to help keep him warm, he needs heat very fast, she then thought of something that could work, it's bold but necessary for his life.

Mary Jane leans in closer. "Listen Tiger, I'm gonna to do something, it's going to keep you warm, just hang on."

Mary Jane stands on her feet as she starts to undress herself before Peter shivering, she pulls off her tank top and pulls down her sweatpants, next she removes her bra and her panties, she finished undressing herself and is completely naked in his presence, she's going to use her own body's natural heat to warm up Peter for a time, she never imagined she would go this far but it's necessary to save Peter, she slowly uncovers the blanket Peter is in as she got to see him in his all natural state, he's still shivering in coldness as Mary Jane is being brave enough to go through with this, she climbs onto the bed and pulls Peter in, hugging his body with hers for warmth, she can feel the coldness on his skin while he can feel the heat coming from hers, she then covers both themselves under the blanket and started rubbing her hands up and down his back to generate some heat, she's able to feel everything being so close to Peter but right now she's more focused on keeping him as warm as possible.

"Stay with me Tiger, just stay with me!" Mary Jane still rubbing his back.

Mary Jane still has her body leaned against Peter's as she's still rubbing him, ignoring all the sensations she's feeling being this intimate to Peter, she never imagine she would ever be in this type of situation with the man she loves, but right now she's doing everything she can to keep Peter warm as he's still shivering from the cold, she refuses to give up on letting Peter down.


Time is 11:56 PM at Avengers Tower on the lower levels below the surface, within the arc reactor room are the Web-Warriors working overtime, making the necessary preparations to transfer the reactor's energy throughout the entire city's electrical grid before it's people freeze to death, Ghost-Spider is somewhat familiar with the system but not in the same way Spider-Man was when he saved the city couple years ago, Kid Arachnid and Spider-Girl are connecting the power cable to the city's power grid.

"We're setting up the last cables, are you sure you know what you're doing?" Kid Arachnid said.

"Honestly I'm not sure, Pete pretty much did this alone while I was out cold, but we have to try, the whole city can't wait." Ghost-Spider said.

Spider-Girl plugged in the last cable. "Okay, all set, whenever you're ready."

Ghost-Spider is standing by the console. "Let's pray this works."

Ghost-Spider flips the switch on the console and turns on the Arc Reactor, it's generating enough power and transferring it through the cables into the city's power grid.

"Okay, it's done." Ghost-Spider said.

"Let's go see to be sure." Spider-Girl said.

(Outside)

A few minutes later, the Web-Warriors made it outside of the tower to see the whole city is still dark without power.

Ghost-Spider sighs in disappointment. "It didn't work."

"Wait... look." Kid Arachnid pointed out.

All of a sudden the whole city's lights are turning back on as power has been restored.

"Hey, it worked." Spider-Girl smiled.

The heroes are happy that the entire city got power back on, no one is going to freeze to death tonight, but their mission isn't over yet, there's still one big threat out there, Blizzard.


It's now December 24th Christmas Eve, time is 3:45 AM in the Bronx as Blizzard is rest in the hideout, recuperating his strength after a long day of so much action, the temperature around this place is absolutely cold without power just the way he likes it as it doesn't bother him at all, he then heard the sounds of trucks coming in as he wakes up and takes a peek, his crew just returned with four stolen cargo trucks, Blizzard is waiting by the bay door as his crew came in to noticed the atmosphere.

"Dang boss, it's so cold!"

"I like it, it's quite comforting for me. I hope the rest of New York find its comforting too." Blizzard said.

"About that, the entire city just got its power back on."

Blizzard looks stunned. "How?"

"We don't know, it just turned back on for some reason."

"How unfortunate, but this changes nothing, we've got everything we need to pull off the biggest heist of a lifetime, now is the time to plan it. If we pull this off, we'll all be very rich, enough to enjoy our wealth in a country without any extraditions. Let's get started..." Blizzard said.

Blizzard and his men are begin to make plans for the biggest heist they're about to pull off, they've got everything needed to make it possible.


Time is 5:55 AM in the morning at the Spider-Cave as Ganke Lee is resting his head against the keyboard drooling falling asleep after exhausting every efforts to track Blizzard's activities, coming through the tunnel are the Web-Warriors returning back after a night of patrolling the neighborhood, they're taking off their masks all yawning and exhausted as they're catching their friend asleep in his chair.

"Hey Ganke!" Miles yells.

Ganke suddenly wakes up. "Huh?! I'm up, I'm up!"

"Take it easy, we're all tired out, we worked overtime trying to get the power back on." Miles said.

"And did you?" Ganke Lee said.

"We did, the arc reactor did its work and restored enough power to keep the city alive, Damage Control is already at the plant working to replace the generators as soon as possible." Anya said.

"But Blizzard is still out there, we spend the entire night trying to find him, but nothing so far." Gwen said.

"I see, and what of Peter?" Ganke Lee said.

Gwen is shocked. "Oh right, I completely forgot!"

"Gwen, why don't you go on home and get some rest?" Anya said.

Gwen smile warmly. "You're right, I could use some rest, and to be honest I'm actually dying to see Peter, see how he's doing."

"I'm sure he's fine, he's got MJ taking good care of him." Anya said.

"Go to him, Gwen. We'll stay here and be on alert in case Blizzard resurfaces." Miles said.

Gwen smiled as she wants to go and be by Peter's side, Miles and Anya are staying behind and resting up while Ganke got back to monitoring for Blizzard in case he shows up again, Gwen is more worried for Peter, wondering what his condition is, she knows that Mary Jane is by his side taking good care of him.


Time is 6:15 AM back at the apartment in Lower East Side, Peter is still resting in bed all warmed up til he suddenly wakes up to see that it's morning time, his body temperature is all normal, he finds himself in his bedroom as he remembers being all cold for the rest of the night, he realized that he's not wearing anything underneath the blanket, but that's not what caught his attention, he slowly covers to see an arm wrapped around his body hugging him from behind, he felt something warm and soft pressed against his back, he then slowly turns around to his right, he finds Mary Jane sleeping opposite of him with her body resting against his and she's not wearing anything either. Peter has no idea why Mary Jane is naked in bed with him, seeing her this close to him, feeling her skins and her scent, it's very arousing, but he tries to wakes her up.

"MJ?" Peter calling out to wake Mary Jane.

Mary Jane is slowly opening her eyes and wakes up. "Huh? Tiger?"

"Hey MJ, it's morning." Peter said.

"Oh... guess I've must've overslept." Mary Jane said.

Mary Jane is moving herself up rubbing her eyes, the blanket uncovers her lack of modesty, particularly her assets are being shown off as Peter blushed, this whole visual is becoming too much and arousing as he looks away, Mary Jane yawns out as she then noticed Peter looking away from her.

"What's wrong Tiger?" Mary Jane asking.

Peter still looking away blushing. "You might want to cover them up."

Mary Jane then looks down upon her assets as she got the idea, she quickly covers up with a blanket. "Oh my... sorry..."

"It's fine, just..." Peter is still clueless.

"Why am I naked in bed with you?" Mary Jane said.

"Yeah..." Peter is blushing.

"You were freezing last night, the heaters were off and there was no power, I was so worried you might get sicker, that you wouldn't make it through the night, so... I had to keep you warm by any means necessary." Mary Jane explained why she's like this.

"You used your own body to keep me warm." Peter figured out.

"Yeah... don't worry, I didn't do anything else, all I did was warm up your body, I swear." Mary Jane assured.

"I believe you... thank you." Peter said.

"You don't have to thank me Tiger." Mary Jane said.

"I do, what you did for me, it was the most bravest thing... so... thank you MJ." Peter is very grateful.

Mary Jane smile and blushed, she felt flattered hearing those words from Peter, the two of them are together in bed being so close to one another without any clothes on, they're begin to feel things together they never imagine was possible, Peter had this feeling with Gwen so he knows exactly what this feeling is, but this is new to Mary Jane, she's never been in this situation with anyone nor has she been this intimate, they're both being quiet not saying anything until the bedroom door opens up, Aunt May came by the house with a container in her hand, she stopped herself upon finding Peter and Mary Jane in bed together without any clothes on, she looks away as they both covered themselves up with a blanket feeling embarrassed.

"Oh dear..." May looking away.

"Seriously? Does anyone knock?" Peter feeling embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, didn't mean to interrupt your... ah..." May still looking away.

Peter and Mary Jane both look at themselves in bed without any clothes on as May misunderstood everything and assumed they had something going on.

"Oh no Aunt May, this isn't what it looks like!" Peter said.

"So I'm not finding you and MJ together in the same bed?" May said.

"Okay, maybe it does looks like it, but isn't really like that, we were just sleeping together." Peter said.

"So I seen." May said.

"No, I mean... we're not sleeping together, just sleeping, nothing more." Peter felt embarrassed.

"So you two didn't..." May said.

"No, we didn't do anything else." Mary Jane vouched.

The bedroom window is opening up as Ghost-Spider is climbing inside as she took off her mask and became surprised to find her boyfriend and best friend together in the same bed without any clothes on, she became stunned by this unfortunate event.

"Oh my... anyone care to explain?" Gwen is curious.

"This isn't what it look like." Peter assured.

"What he said." Mary Jane assured.

"Okay? What does this look like? Wanna explain?" Gwen still curious.

"Sure... do you think we can talk with our clothes on?" Peter said.

"Of course, take your time and get dressed, we'll be waiting in the living room... Oh! One more thing, I ran into the landlord and he's telling residents the water heaters are working again." May telling everybody.

"Great, I could use a shower." Mary Jane said.

"Okay, we'll give you both sometime alone, let's go Gwendolyne." May said.

May and Gwen are walking out of the bedroom and shuts the door behind to give the two some privacy, Mary Jane is the first to get out of bed and picking up her clothes as Peter turns away as she's starts getting dressed up, Peter is still feeling embarrassed having his aunt and girlfriend walking in and misunderstanding the situation, Mary Jane got dressed up and walks out of the bedroom to take a shower alone.

Gwen and May are in the kitchen waiting for Peter to come out, May is at the stove reheating the soup she brought for Peter as Gwen is still trying to process what she and May witnessed between Peter and Gwen. Coming out of the bedroom is Peter fully dressed as May and Gwen are still quiet, he's still embarrassed as he's about to explain the whole situation to them, hoping they'll believe the story.

Peter smells something in the air. "What's cooking Aunt May?"

"I heard about what happened last night, so I've brought you some chicken soup for your health." May still reheating soup.

"I appreciate it Aunt May, but I'm feeling fine right now." Peter said.

"So we've noticed, she sure took great care of you." Gwen said.

"Yeah, but not in the way you're all thinking, the heaters were off last night and I was freezing badly, MJ volunteered to use her own body to keep me warm through the dark cold night, she saved my life, I only just woke up to find her sleeping next to me in bed." Peter explained everything.

"Naked by the way." Gwen smiled.

"Yeah, it really took my by surprise... sorry you all had to walk in on it." Peter said.

"Well... I'm just glad that you're okay Pete, you really scared me yesterday." Gwen said.

"Sorry, but it was worth it, glad I took the freeze instead of you. By the way, did I miss anything while I was still shivering in bed?" Peter said.

"Yeah, seems like Blizzard was responsible for last night's blackout, attacked a power plant, froze a lot of personal til he went for the power generators, completely frozen them broken, that's what caused the blackout, but not to worry we were able to restore power before it was too late." Gwen explained about Blizzard's activities.

"I see, good work. What about the truck he hit on the bridge before then?" Peter said.

"It was carrying confiscated weapons on their way to being melted down, his crew stolen some dangerous tools before we got there." Gwen said.

"First he hit a truck and stole some weapon, next he hit a power plant causing a massive blackout to throw the city into chaos, he's definitely planning something big and from the looks of it, it's about to happen soon. We gotta find him." Peter said.

"Whoa, whoa, you're still in no good condition to go out there." Gwen said.

"Gwen, I'm fine." Peter said.

"Pete, this guys bested the four of us and he almost froze you to death, we were lucky to survive." Gwen said.

"I know... but we can't sit on our hands doing nothing, he's still out there causing trouble, we have to stop him." Peter said.

Gwen sighs. "I know..."

"Look, if you're going to go out there, then you'll need to recuperate your strength first." May suggested.

"That might not be such a bad idea, beside I need some rest after a night of swinging around. Besides, Ganke is still at the Spider-Cave and he'll let us know the moment Blizzard shows himself again, all we can do is wait." Gwen suggested.

Peter sighs. "Okay, get some rest Gwendy, I'll wait and have some soup till Ganke gives us the call."

"Thanks Pete... so glad you're alright." Gwen smile warmly.

Gwen walks over and kissed Peter before heading into the bedroom for some rest, Peter stayed in the kitchen as Aunt May is serving him some chicken soup in a bowl, Peter grabbed a spoon and started eating some soup to recuperate his strength for his next fight with Blizzard. Meanwhile inside the bathroom, the shower is pouring in hot water as Mary Jane is standing in letting the hot water rain on her skin, washing away some scent she caught from her close proximity with Peter, but nothing can wash away everything she experience from Peter, the sight of his body, his scent, the warmth of his skin, it's all etched into her memory forever, she shouldn't be feeling this way, but this is as close to intimate she's ever going to get with Peter.


It's now 9:03 AM at the hideout in the Bronx, the entire crew is gearing up for the heist, strapping on body armor and arming themselves with assault rifles capable of shooting armored piercing rounds, they're also bringing in RPGs and C4 and loading them onto the stolen cargo trucks, Blizzard is coming out as the crew all assemble together before him as he's about to speak to them.

"Gentleman, the time has finally arrived, the moment we've all been waiting for, we're about to pull off the biggest heist, you know your roles, we get in, take down anyone who stands in our way, once we reach the vault, we grab the contents and load them onto the truck, once we do we make our way to the airfield in Queens where a cargo plane is waiting to take us away to a country with no extradition, once we're there, we'll divide the score and each of us will be paid in millions of dollars, but we can never set foot here ever again, you all good with that?" Blizzard said.

"YES BOSS!"

"Perfect, even with the power back on, the whole city is still in disarray, the NYPD are diverting it's resources to protecting the plant, the moment to strike is now, let's head out!" Blizzard yells.

The whole crew are climbing onto the trucks including Blizzard, they're moving out and heading toward Manhattan to pull off the big heist with everything they've got.


Time is 9:56 AM at the Spider-Cave, Ganke Lee is still at the supercomputer awaiting for any news on Blizzard's activities, Miles and Anya are still resting in their cots, coming in through the tunnels are Peter and Gwen as they've brought pastry boxes with them, Ganke is feeling a bit tired out being at the computer waiting, he then spotted his friends coming in together with what appears to be snacks.

"Gwen, Peter, glad to see you all better now." Ganke Lee said.

"Thanks, we've brought you some cronuts, there's enough for everyone." Peter holding up the pastry box.

"Thank god, I'm starving. Hey Miles, Anya, wake up!" Ganke Lee calling out.

Miles is getting up along with Anya as they are rubbing their tired eyes, they both spotted Peter with Gwen.

"Hey Pete, how are you feeling?" Miles said.

"All warmed up, thank you for asking." Peter said.

"You really gave us a scare there yesterday." Anya said.

"Sorry about that, but thanks to all you, if you hadn't thawed me out of the ice, I'd probably be frozen in time like Cap." Peter said.

"Anyway, we stopped by the only opened pastry shop and we got you all some cronuts." Gwen said.

"Oh thank god, we're starving." Miles said.

"And it's good to have you back Peter." Anya said.

Peter and Gwen sets the pastry boxes on the table as Miles, Ganke, and Anya need some energy, they're grabbing some cronuts and brewing some coffee, Peter grabbed a cronut from the box and took a bite as he noticed Gwen being all quiet as she grabbed a cronut and a cup of coffee, she walks away as Peter is curious as to what's on her mind, he walks away from the others as he went to join Gwen at the seats for a chat alone.

Gwen taking a sip from the cup. "Hey Pete."

"Something on your mind, Gwen?" Peter is curious.

"Why do you say that?" Gwen said.

"Cause I know you, when you're this quiet it means there's something that's been bugging you for a while. So please, talk to me, what's going on?" Peter said.

Gwen sighs. "Okay Pete, we need to have a serious talk."

"Gwen, if this is about what happened this morning, I already explained everything..." Peter said.

"No, it's not about you and MJ, it's about you and me." Gwen said.

"Okay?" Peter is confused.

"Peter... why didn't you propose?" Gwen said.

"What?" Peter said.

"And don't bother trying to deny it, MJ found the rings in your drawer yesterday." Gwen said.

"Gwen..." Peter said.

"And I remember that conversation I had with Otto last month, he told me that I was in for quite a surprise when I see you, this is what he meant, wasn't it. You wanted to propose... please tell me the truth..." Gwen said.

Peter sighs uneasy. "Yes Gwen, it's true, I was going to propose, in fact I was going to propose to you on that same night he abducted me."

"That was over a month ago, you got your life back, you came back to me and you've been holding off on proposing, why?" Gwen said.

"I wasn't holding off on proposing, I was just waiting for the right time." Peter said.

"For over a month, what's been holding you back for so long? You afraid I was going to say no?" Gwen said.

"No, of course not." Peter said.

"Then please tell me why?" Gwen said.

Peter sighs. "Cause of what happened when Ock was in control, I lost you when you thought I had left you for another girl."

"Peter, we've already been through this, what happened last month wasn't your fault." Gwen said.

"I know, but when I thought I had lost you in that moment, when you were heartbroken, it felt like my heart was broken too and I was going through the motions of losing you, but when I got my life back I just couldn't bear the thought of losing you again, that's why I couldn't bring myself to propose, I was enough just having you in my life as my girlfriend than not having you at all." Peter explained his fears.

"Peter... you never lost me, even when I was heartbroken or feeling confused over another guy, I could never forget you, you've still a part of me, my love for you never died out." Gwen said.

"I know, and I could never stop loving you Gwen. Believe me, I wanted you to be by my side as more than just my girlfriend. I just don't know how to move on through all these fears of something terrible happening that could break us apart." Peter said.

"I know how that feels Pete, when I thought I had lost last month, I was all heartbroken over you, a part of me felt like I was about to give up, but when I found out the truth, I fought with so much hope that you would come back to me one day, and you did. I felt it again when you were frozen right in front of me, it felt like I was losing you again, it really scared me." Gwen said.

Peter sighs. "I'm sorry Gwen, I never meant for you to go through that again, I was more afraid of losing you for good and I still let that fear control me for so long."

"Peter, life is never easy, especially a marriage, sure there's going to be a lot of risk in the future, but isn't that the whole point in marriage, to face the hard times together no matter what." Gwen said.

"You got a good point, I'm glad I'm still here to face them with you by my side, I couldn't have it any other way." Peter said.

"Good... just so you know, if you ever did propose to me... I would've said yes." Gwen smiled warmly.

Peter is touched by Gwen's words, despite everything they've gone through recently, she's still stuck by his side willing to face them head on.

"Gwen... I..." Peter wants to say more.

All of a sudden the supercomputer is beeping on the screens as it finally picked up something and it caught everyone's attention, Ganke Lee rushed over to the supercomputer as Miles went to inform his two friends sitting together.

"Hey, we finally got a lead!" Miles noticed the two being quiet as something is on their minds. "Did I interrupt anything?"

"Ah... no, of course." Peter said.

"Let's go." Gwen said.

Peter and Gwen are walking with Miles up to the supercomputer where Ganke and Anya are looking up a report on Blizzard.

"What do we got?" Peter said.

"This just came in over dispatch, listen carefully." Ganke Lee type the keyboard.

"Attention all units, we're taking heavy fire down here, Blizzard and his gang has us pinned down just outside of the Federal Reserve building, requesting immediate assistance..."

"The Federal Reserve?" Peter said.

"You've heard of it?" Miles said.

"I do, Shocker once raided the place three years ago, but fortunately I stopped him before he could steal any contents." Peter said.

"What's so important about the Federal Reserve? What could Blizzard want to steal that's so valuable?" Anya said.

"Any of you know what the Three Wise Men brought over as gifts?" Peter said.

"Frankincense." Anya said.

"Myrrh." Miles said.

"And Gold." Gwen said.

"Exactly." Peter said.

"Of course, I completely forgot, it was mentioned in yesterday's news that the Federal Reserve just received more gold for safe storage." Ganke Lee said.

"That's why Blizzard needed those weapons, he's using them to storm the Reserve full of gold, this is the big score he's been planning this entire time." Peter said.

"Too bad he's not going to spend any of it, we're not going to let him." Miles said.

"Agreed, let's go stop him." Peter said.

"Pete, wait! Are you sure about this? You remember what happened last time you went up against this guy." Gwen said.

"Gwen, I appreciate your concern, but I can't ignore this, I know it's risky, but I'm still going. Besides, I'd rather be by your side facing the risks head on." Peter said.

Gwen smiled and sighs. "Alright, we do this together."

"Together." Peter smiled.

"Together!" Miles and Anya said in unison.

Peter smiled at his team. "Then suit up."

The team are starting to suit up in their suits and are more determined than ever to stop Blizzard from getting away with everything he's done to the city and everyone else he's hurt, this time they'll take him on together.


Time is 10:32 AM just outside the Federal Reserve, Blizzard and some of his crew are keeping the cops at bay while the rest are inside the building, Blizzard is proven too much for the cops to handle alone, cops are pinned down behind the squad cars are armor piercing rounds are effective against any kind of protection, meanwhile inside the Federal Reserve where the vault door was already blown up by C4, the crew found the gold bullions belonging to the Republic of Delvadia, they loading them up onto the cart and wheeling it out. Back outside the Reserve, an unmarked car came up to the scene along with an SWAT vehicle, coming out of the car is Captain Yuri Watanabe in SWAT gear, coming out of the van are SWAT officers armed with semi automatic weapons and ballistic shields, Yuri approached one of the officers taking fire behind the squad car.

"What's the situation here, officer?" Yuri Watanabe said.

"We're pinned down Captain, we got here as fast as we could, but we were too late, Blizzard already has men inside and we can't move forward."

"Not to worry, I've brought SWAT here with shields." Yuri Watanabe said.

"That's not going to work, these guys are firing off armor piercing rounds, it'll slice those shields like butter."

The gunmen are still pinning down the NYPD as Blizzard is waiting, he turns around to see some of his men coming out of the building with a cart full of gold.

"We got them boss!"

"Start loading them onto the truck." Blizzard said.

Yuri is taking a peek out to see the crew managed to steal some gold from the vault and loading them onto the truck.

"Oh no, they've already got the gold, we have to move now!" Yuri Watanabe said.

The rest of SWAT officers are coming to join up Captain Watanabe as they're about to make a move, but the crew then switched up from using assault rifles to RPGs, Yuri was about to lead the team until she spotted the RPGs and panicked.

"RPGs!" Yuri Watanabe warns everyone.

They were too late as a few RPGs are fired at the NYPD, one blasted a SWAT vehicle and another blew up a squad car, the cops are pinned down among the wreckage unable to escape as the last RPG has them in it's sight, the thug is about to fire off and blow them all up, but coming in swing is Spider-Man as he kicked the thug away in time and saving the NYPD in the process, Blizzard and the rest of his crew are surprised to find Spider-Man alive and well, the rest of the Web-Warriors swing down and joined him by his side, Yuri smiled as she's grateful to the heroes saving their lives, Blizzard is disappointed Spider-Man isn't frozen dead.

"Hello again Jack Frost." Spider-Man said.

"Impossible, you're supposed to be dead." Blizzard said.

"And yet I'm still here." Spider-Man said.

"Doesn't matter, I've took you out once, do you really think this time will be any different?" Blizzard said.

"I'm counting on it, cause I don't plan on dying, I got so much to live for." Spider-Man said with determination.

"Well see... get them!" Blizzard gave the order.

His crew are all firing off their assault rifles as Spider-Man summons his web shield from his wrist to protect himself and his team, his men are keeping the heroes at by while Blizzard himself is hoping onto the truck with someone already at the driver seat.

Blizzard at the passenger seat. "Drive!"

"What about the others?"

"Forget them, we've already got the gold, just drive damnit!" Blizzard said.

The Web-Warriors are being pinned down as they've see a truck making an escape along with Blizzard.

"He's getting away!" Kid Arachnid said.

"Like hell he is, not this time. Can you guys keep the thugs occupied?" Spider-Man said.

"Yeah, we can do that." Spider-Girl said.

"Are you sure about this?" Ghost-Spider said.

"I am, trust me... I'll be fine." Spider-Man said.

"Okay... please be careful." Ghost-Spider said.

"I'll come back to you... I promise." Spider-Man said.

"Go, we'll hold them off." Kid Arachnid said.

"Thanks, good luck." Spider-Man said.

Spider-Man then swings after the truck while his teammates are staying behind to reinforce the NYPD against the thugs giving them trouble, meanwhile the truck is making it's escape through the city with the gold they've managed to steal, Blizzard is riding shotgun while the driver is steering the wheel until he noticed something on the side mirror, it's Spider-Man coming their way.

"Ah boss, we got company!"

Blizzard takes a peek out and spotted Spider-Man swinging in the air coming their way.

"Goddamnit... keep driving to the airfield no matter what, I'll deal with him personally." Blizzard said.

Blizzard is climbing out of the cab and onto the roof of the truck, he's standing and planting his feet with ice, he forms up ice balls in his hands and began unleashing them as Spider-Man is taking evasive action not to hit by one, Blizzard kept on launching ice balls but he kept on missing as Spider-Man is too quick for him, Spider-Man managed to get close enough to land on the truck's roof in a three point stance, both are standing on a moving truck driving through the city.

"Persistent aren't you?" Blizzard said.

"You've hurt a lot of innocent people including a couple of my friends, you even tried to freeze up an entire city, what kind of man would do all that?" Spider-Man said.

"One who's about to be very rich." Blizzard shows no remorse.

"Too bad you're not going to spend any of it, this is end of the line for you." Spider-Man said.

"You never learn do you? Last time we fought, I froze your ass once before, I can do it again." Blizzard said.

"Just try." Spider-Man dares.

Blizzard charges up his hands as Spider-Man awaits for the villain to make a move, Blizzard strikes first as Spider-Man duck and rolls towards him, he then does the scissor kick on Blizzard's legs, knocking him off balance but the villain is still in the fight as he launched a freeze beam but Spider-Man rolls off the side of the truck, Blizzard quickly gets back up and looks to the side of the truck to strike back at Spider-Man, but there's no sign of the hero, he just lost him, unknown to him Spider-Man crawl back on the other side of the truck as Blizzard noticed something, he turns around attempting to strike back but Spider-Man caught his wrists and aims them away as they're still unleashing beam of ice, Blizzard is still struggling to get his hands to move towards Spider-Man as the hero is doing his best to keep them away and avoid being frozen again, the truck is getting close to the bridge about leave Manhattan to cross over to Queens, Spider-Man is attempting to think of something while Blizzard is still unleashing his powers, he then divert Blizzard's hands towards the front of the truck, freezing the streets and creating slippery ice around.

"NO!" Blizzard yells out in terror.

The truck has already got onto the slippery street as the wheels are caught onto the ice, Spider-Man then jumps away as Blizzard doesn't like what's about to happen, the driver is having a hard time maintaining the truck as it's slipping away until it crashed against a parked car on the side, the truck flips over and crashed down sliding onto the icy road til it hits the fire hydrant in it's path and made a completely stop, water is splashing up in the air from the hydrant creating a geyser as Blizzard managed to survive the crash as he see the truck completely wrecked and unable to go anywhere with the gold his crew stolen, his big score has failed thanks to Spider-Man, Blizzard looks up at the hero hanging onto the traffic lights looking down at the villain, Blizzard felt nothing but rage for the hero for ruining his heist.

"No... I was so close, everything went well... you... YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!" Blizzard is all angry and yells.

"Guess the only thing going in your stocking this year is coal, you're definitely on Santa's naughty list!" Spider-Man mocks.

"You'll pay dearly for this Spider-Man... I'LL DESTROY YOU!" Blizzard yells.

Blizzard unleashed his freeze beam as Spider-Man jumps off the traffic light and fires off a web grenade at the supervillain, Blizzard quickly forms up an ice barrier in front of him to protect himself as the web grenade only hit the barrier, but Spider-Man swings around the barrier and drop kick Blizzard on the side, the villain fell down as Spider-Man is standing strong, Blizzard launched some ice balls at the hero as Spidey summons the web shield from his wrist and blocks the attack, he then runs towards the villain and tackles him hard with the web shield, Blizzard was push back against the wall, he's getting bested by Spider-Man who's will is strong.

"This can't be happening... how?" Blizzard being bested.

"I told you, I got so much to live for." Spider-Man said.

Blizzard is all weakened and injured as Spider-Man picks him up and turns him the other way, he then punched Blizzard in the face.

"That one was for Iron Man." Spider-Man said.

Blizzard still standing as Spider-Man toss in a hook to the face.

"That was for Ms. Marvel." Spider-Man said.

Blizzard can't get his bearing from all the injury Spider-Man is inflicting, the hero prepares for one last strike.

"And this one is from me." Spider-Man said.

Spider-Man strikes with an uppercut and knocked Blizzard off his feet, the villain is being sent flying with his hands giving off sub zero energy until he made contact with the geyser from the hydrant, the entire water around him froze instantly and since he's caught up inside it, he got frozen too. Spider-Man looks at the frozen geyser to see Blizzard frozen inside, trapped, unable to escape, the supervillain has finally been defeated. Spider-Man then laid his back against a car nearby feeling all tired out from the fight, coming in swinging is Ghost-Spider as she finally caught up to Spider-Man and sees that he's alive and well, he's for one is glad to see her, they both approached one another and hugged right there on the spot.

"Oh... thank god you're alright." Ghost-Spider felt relieved.

"I'm not going anywhere, like I said, I got so much to live for and she's right in front of me." Spider-Man said.

Ghost-Spider felt happy hearing it from Spider-Man as they still there in that moment, coming in to the scene are the NYPD along with a couple of Web-Warriors, everyone got to see all the gold still inside the tilted truck and Blizzard frozen in ice, everything worked out in the end.


Time is 1:32 PM at the apartment back in Lower East Side as Mary Jane is at the living room sitting on the couch next to Ms. Lion laying at her side, she's drinking up hot chocolate and watching TV about the recent success in bringing Blizzard to justice for all his crimes and life in the city has gone back to normal on Christmas Eve, Mary Jane smiled as she knew that her friends had a hand in it.

"After an exhausting manhunt, Donald Gill, the fugitive calling him Blizzard, has finally been captured and will be transferred to the Raft to be safely locked up paying for his crimes, Mr. Gill was responsible for the a number of crimes across America, including the recent massive blackout the city experienced yesterday that would've spelled out disaster for it's citizens, and more recently the attack on the Federal Reserve in where his crew almost made off with gold, but thanks to the efforts of our heroes, Blizzard has finally been brought to justice and the city is once again safe as Christmas Eve is still on."

Mary Jane then heard something coming in climbing through the bedroom window nearby, she turns off the TV and went up to the bedroom to find Spider-Man and Ghost-Spider just coming back home after a long day of hunting down Blizzard, they took off their masks as Peter and Gwen are tired out and are met up by their friend Mary Jane.

"Gwen, Tiger, glad you're both okay, I saw on the news Blizzard being captured thanks to you." Mary Jane said.

"He was, he's on his way to the Raft as we speak where he can't hurt anyone anymore, it's where he belongs." Peter said.

"That's great, though to be honest I was a bit worried that you were gonna end up being frozen again." Mary Jane said.

"Sorry to disappoint MJ, but I"m still here." Peter being joyful.

"We just came back to get clean up, neither of us had a shower lately and we need to get ready for tonight's event." Gwen said.

"Why don't you go on ahead? I gotta call and give Kamala the good news." Peter said.

"Okay Pete." Gwen said.

Peter sat on the bed pulling out his phone as Gwen went over to the closet and grab some clothes to take to the bathroom as she walks out of the bedroom and Mary Jane followed after her as she has something to say to her friend concerning this morning she didn't get the chance to talk with Gwen about, she closed the bedroom door so they get some privacy.

"Gwen wait, do you have a minute?" Mary Jane said.

Gwens stopped and looks at Mary Jane. "Sure, what is it?"

"I... I just wanted to apologize for the whole misunderstanding you seen this morning, it was never my intention to be in bed with Peter, I just wanted to him cause he wasn't doing so good, I hope you can forgive me." Mary Jane is apologizing.

Gwen sighs calmly. "Look Mary Jane, I'm going to say this... thank you for what you did for Pete, you kept your promise, you took care of him when he needed you the most, what you did was the most bravest thing you ever did, you kept him warm throughout a very cold night, so... thank you."

"Sure, what are friends for." Mary Jane smile warmly.

"I... gotta ask... did you... see... you know..." Gwen asking awkwardly.

"Did I see all of him? Yeah..." Mary Jane answered awkwardly.

"Including his..." Gwen being awkward.

"Yeah... especially that..." Mary Jane blushed in embarrassment.

"Was it hard? Being with Peter in that... situation?" Gwen said.

"To be honest Gwen, I never imagine I ever find my myself doing something like this with a guy, and with Peter of all people, but... when I saw him shivering and freezing, I didn't heist to do what needed to be done in the moment, but all I did was just keep him warm with my body, nothing more." Mary Jane said.

"I believe you MJ, I know that you would never do anything to betray our friendship, I trust you with my life and Peter is my life." Gwen said.

"Thank you... I've always known Peter was your life for a long time and I came to accept that, you two belong together." Mary Jane said.

"I means a lot coming from you... you know, if by some chance he wasn't with me and there was someone else who can make Peter happy, I know that someone is you, you would've given him happiness in a way I can... I hope one day you'll find your happiness, from the bottom of my heart." Gwen said.

Mary Jane smile. "Thank you."

"Anytime... I should get cleaned up, I'm dying for a shower." Gwen said.

Mary Jane smiled as she allow Gwen to take the bathroom for a shower she desperately needed for days, Mary Jane sat in the living room along with the dog as she thought about that experience she shared with Peter, it's something she can never erased from her memory, but even though she did it to help save Peter, a part of her felt comfortable feeling this intimately close with him, but this is as far she'll ever being this intimate to Peter, she thought she her feelings for him aren't there, but she's wrong, she still loves him, and as much as it pains her, she accepts that Peter belongs with Gwen and she's only be his friend for life. Meanwhile back in the bedroom, Peter is on the phone chatting with Kamala, giving her the good news on Blizzard's capture

"So did you do it?" Kamala said.

"Yeah, I got him, it was pretty hard and got frozen along the line, but I did it, took down Blizzard. How are you doing Kamala?" Peter said.

"I'm doing alright, just relaxing with my family here at home. Thanks for completing my mission for me." Kamala said.

"Sure thing, take care Kamala." Peter said.

"You too Peter." Kamala hangs up.

Peter sets his phone aside after finishing his talk with Kamala, he then opens up the drawer next to the bed where the rings Aunt May gave him are still there, he picked up the one he planned to give to Gwen, he smileds as he finally made up his mind and thought up of a perfect surprise at the perfect time.


It's now 6:39 PM at Brooklyn Visions Academy, Tiana Toomes is already dressed up in something fancy for the charity event at F.E.A.S.T., she has a bit of time before Miles come to pick her up, she's at her desk typing to finish up on the modifications on Vulture's wing suit design, she changed it to suit her appearance more, she made it more red and white, the screen shows that it's designated Vulture Suit 2.0 as her grandfather named it.

"No, no, no... what would be the perfect name?" Tiana said to herself.

Tiana is laying back on her rolling chair thinking up a perfect codename for herself, she doesn't want people mistaking her for Vulture nor does she want them to make the connection for vital reasons, she still thinking up of something until she heard her bird chirping, she looks at her pet Starling chirping in the cage as she then thought of a perfect name.

"Thanks... I think it's perfect." Tiana smiles.

Tiana lean herself forward and types on the keyboard, she deletes the designation title of "VULTURE SUIT 2.0" and rename it as the "STARLING SUIT", she pressed enter and finally finished modifying the design, now it suits her more as she has a grand idea how to use it better than what her grandfather would. She then heard knocking on her door as she figure out who it could be, she shuts off the computer and closed it, she walks up to the door where Miles is all dressed up in suit, he became speechless gazing up Tiana all stunning in a dress.

"Hey... wow, you look... amazing." Miles smiles.

Tiana smiles and blush a bit. "Thanks, you're not so bad yourself, shall we?"

Miles offer his hand and Tiana took it as they walk down the hallway together, about to head on out for tonight's event. Eventually they made it outside of school in their jackets as bits of snow is falling around slowly, Tiana smiled upon looking how beautiful the night is.

"Wow, it sure is a beautiful night... thank you Miles, I really needed this." Tiana said.

"Sure, to be honest, I wasn't sure if you were gonna come, I gotta sense that you were going through something lately." Miles said.

"Not anymore, you know, despite everything that has happened, the one good thing that kept me going was you. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me Miles, meeting you, you made feel like the most special girl in the world." Tiana said.

"You are special to me Tiana." Miles said.

Tiana and Miles are both caught in their moment as they're standing underneath the school archway, they look up to see a mistletoe above their heads, they chuckles upon realizing the sign of what the mistletoe means. They eventually stopped upon looking at each other's eyes in a way they've never done before, Miles is a bit nervous but he decide to make his move slowly as he lean a bit forward, Tiana did the same as their lips are getting closer to one another til they've finally made contact, Miles and Tiana closed their eyes and slowly kiss each other right there underneath the mistletoe, they kept on kissing til they've stop and break apart for some air, both are quiet upon realizing what just happened.

Tiana touched her lips and smiled. "Wow..."

Miles smiles. "Yeah... wow... Merry Christmas Tiana."

"Merry Christmas Miles said." Tiana smiles.

Miles and Tiana then locked hands and walks away from the school heading out to the event, their relationship has just evolved in the most wonderful way, they've entered a romantic relationship and are now a couple.


It's now 7:34 PM in Chinatown at the homeless shelter F.E.A.S.T., a charity event is happening right now as many prominent New Yorkers are here, including the Bishops and their daughter Kate dressed in a purple dress, Ganke's here along with Danika Hart as his date, Harry Osborn is here representing his father's company Oscorp and he's in the company of Randy and Flash all dressed in their suits showing support and chatting with Mary Jane and Gwen, the staff are throwing quite a party here while May herself is greeting the guests here, standing next to the big Christmas Tree getting the attention is J Jonah Jameson dressed in a Santa Claus suit giving out gifts to some children attending the event, he's having a hard time maintaining a smile as he finished giving the last gift to the kid, he felt somewhat humiliated as he sat down next to his chief-of-staff.

Jameson sighs. "Remind me again why I'm doing this?"

"Sir, this is for charity, gotta show the people how much you care."

"I do care, just... dressing myself like this is very humiliating." Jameson isn't too happy.

All of a sudden a flash caught Jameson by surprise, someone just took a picture of Jameson in a Santa Claus suit, this person is none other than Peter Parker dressed in a suit holding a camera in his hands.

"What the..." Jameson recovering from the camera flash.

"Oh, it's you JJ, didn't recognize, nice suit Santa." Peter smile holding the camera.

"Very funny Parker, you better not be selling this to the Globe or I'll have you blacklisted, got it?!" Jameson said.

"Okay, okay, no need to be Krampus." Peter walking away.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the shelter is Anya Corazon in the company of her father Gilberto doing a story on the event, she then spotted her former classmate Kate Bishop here dressed in purple.

"Kate!" Anya calling out waving.

"Anya, surprised to see you here." Kate Bishop said.

"My dad got an invitation on behalf the Globe, I see you're into purple as always." Anya noticed the purple dress.

"Think it suits me better." Kate Bishop has taken a liking to the color.

Peter is walking around till he spotted Anya with Kate. "Hey Anya, glad you made it, nice to see you too Kate."

"Likewise Parker, so where's your girl?" Kate Bishop said.

"Don't know, but she's here somewhere." Peter said.

Peter is looking around to find Gwen in the crowd as he's got a gift for her, but he along with Anya spotted Miles coming in with his date Tiana as they look more happier than ever.

"Miles!" Peter waving to his friend.

Miles waved back coming with Tiana. "Hey Pete, your aunt sure knows how to throw a party."

"She sure does, and who is she?" Peter noticed Tiana.

"Pete, meet Tiana, my date and..." Miles said.

"His girlfriend." Tiana said which took Anya's reaction by surprise.

Peter is surprised. "Really? It's nice to you, Tiana, Miles talks about you a lot."

"Nice things I'm sure, so Miles tells me that your aunt runs this place, it's very noble helping those in need." Tiana said.

Anya is surprise by all this news, she knew that Miles really likes Tiana but she never expected that their relationship would ever reach this point due to his shyness, but he finally ended up with the girl, coming in through the crowd is Mary Jane and Gwen both dressed elegantly for the party.

"Gwen, MJ, glad I've found, pretty much lost you both in the crowd." Peter said.

"Sorry Tiger, we were just chatting with Harry and the guys. What did we miss?" Mary Jane said.

"Miles just introducing me to his new girlfriend Tiana." Peter said.

"Girlfriend? Wow, this is a surprise, hi, my name is Gwen Stacy, I'm Peter's girlfriend." Gwen introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Tiana." Tiana said.

"Actually if you all don't mind, I like to borrow Gwen for a moment if that's okay?" Peter asking everyone.

"Sure thing, it was nice meeting you Gwen Stacy." Tiana said.

"Same here." Gwen excused herself.

Peter and Gwen walked away from the group as they needed some time to themselves as Rio Morales came over to meet with the girl her son is dating, Peter wanted to speak to Gwen about something very life changing for them.

"Miles finally has a girlfriend, guess romance is in the air." Gwen smiled.

"It sure is, Christmas Eve is pretty much our day too, remember?" Peter said.

"How can I forget? We shared our first kiss together all those years ago, on that one snowy night under the mistletoe." Gwen said.

"It was the most wonderful feeling, even thought I was still figuring things out, deep down I knew that you're the one I want to be with, then, now, and forever." Peter smiled as he holds up a small box wrapped. "Merry Christmas Gwen."

Gwen took the gift. "Thank you... what did you get me?"

Peter smile warmly. "Open it."

Gwen is itching to know what's inside as she slowly unties the ribbon and unwraps the gift, she then opens up the small box and gasped upon seeing what's inside it.

Gwen has her hand on her mouth all stunned. "Peter..."

Peter slowly picked up the diamond ring from the box and got on his knee before the woman he loves most in the world, this caught the attention of Aunt May along with everyone else here as they're all surprised and smiling upon what's happening right now, Gwen is tearing up in happiness as Peter finally worked up the courage to ask her the most important question of his life.

"Will you do me the honor of making me the happiest man on Earth and spending the rest of your life by my side... Gwendolyne Maxine Stacy... will you marry me?" Peter smiling holding up the ring, proposing to Gwen.

Gwen is still smiling and tearing up in happiness as this is finally happening. "Yes... Yes Peter! I'll marry you!"

Everyone her clapped their hands together as Peter just proposed to Gwen in her hand of marriage and she accepted, their friends are all happy for them, including Mary Jane who is somewhat shocked but not that surprised, she knew this was coming and it was inevitable, all she can do is clap her hands along with everyone else as Peter puts the ring on Gwen's finger and got up on his feet before the woman he's going to marry, Gwen look at the ring on her finger as she loves it, they leaned in closer for a kiss, Peter and Gwen are finally engaged as they still got a long road ahead of them, their wedding they plan on having... soon.
