Peter was beginning to wake up and was confused on where he was. Feeling something on his face, he learned that there were glasses. Looking around he began to see he was surrounded by school kids. Not just any school kids, but the same kids from his time. Flash Thompson. Jessica Jones. Cindy Moon. Liz Allen. This was his class...oh, god. It was that day.
"Mr. Parker?" Peter heard someone call his name, looking to the scientist. "Were you paying attention?"
"Uh, yeah." Peter felt himself say on impulse. It was like he was living in a dream. "Sorry."
"As I was saying... Arachnids from all three groups possess varying strengths which help them in their constant search for food." The guide explains and gestures to the one container. "For example, the Delena spider, family Sparassidae, has the ability to jump to catch its prey."
The spider then did exactly as explained as it jumped from one twig to another in its cage.
"Next, we have the net web spider." The guide said as she kept going. "Family Filistatidae, genus Kukulcania. It spins an intricate funnel-shaped web whose strands have a tensile strength proportionally equal to the type of high-tension wires used in bridges."
The spider was dragging its prey up a web on the top of the wood. Peter was heading to take a picture of the whole display when he was bumped into by Flash Thompson.
"Hey." Jessica got his attention, immediately pushing Thompson away. "Leave him alone."
"What? I'm just having some fun, Jones." Thompson backed away casually. "Didn't mean to upset your boyfriend."
He then walked away, getting Jessica fueled up and ready to punch him when Peter of all people stopped her.
"It's...it's not worth it, Jessica," Peter assured her and they moved on.
"This grass spider hunts using a set of reflexes with nerve-conduction velocity so fast that some researchers believe it borders on precognition. An early awareness of danger."
"I don't get why you put up with that guy," Jessica told Peter, eyeing Thompson.
"Well, what's the alternative? I tell on him, then he takes it out on me. It feels better to deal with a push and shove than his full rage." Peter explained to him.
"...transfer RNA to encode an entirely new genome combining the genetic information from all three spiders into these 15 genetically designed super-spiders." The guide gestured to the fifteen containers that were on display when Jessica noticed an empty one.
"There's fourteen," Jessica stated, gesturing to the empty container. "This one's empty."
"Oh, so it is." The guide didn't notice. "I guess the researchers are working on that one."
Not knowing that the spider was currently above the entire group and was crawling down on a web toward the group. Peter placed his hand down on a desk, not realizing that the same spider was beginning to crawl its way upward. Peter didn't hear or even feel the spider before it suddenly bit his palm, causing Peter to wince and look down.
Then all of a sudden in a blink of an eye, Peter found himself on the outside and in the middle of traffic. Jumping into the air before he could get hit, Peter found himself clinging to the side of the same building.
"I'm sticking," Peter commented as he then looked down and saw small hairs on his fingers appearing. "This is impossible... how is this possible? I can't possibly be doing this." Then when he got to the roof, he reached out and crushed a steam exhaust. "This is amazing!"
But then in a blimp, Peter found himself slipping off of the roof and down to the ground. But then in another blimp, he found himself carrying his first beer prototype web shooters. The ones that Mayday was recently wearing.
"Stay calm!" Peter told himself. "We can do this!"
Peter then shot off two webs and went swinging as his prototype suit was beginning to form around him. Peter was currently wearing a messy put-together suit, it being the first suit he created. It was all dark red, with a webbing pattern across the whole suit, a bulging spider on his chest, and black outlines under his arms, waits, and legs. Under his armpits, there also was a pair of web wings he had put together.
"This is amazing! Think of all we can do with these powers!" Peter exclaimed as he swung through the city. "We could make a fortune!'
When Peter swung and landed, he ended up finding himself in a fighting ring. He was going up against a guy twice his size, and it didn't take much for him to pummel the man down and win the match.
Peter was just making his way out of the fighting ring after being cheated out of his money. It seemed that he needed not only to sign his name but also had to last longer in the ring since he was able to defeat the unbeatable Bonesaw. He called the elevator and just wanted to go home and get mad at something.
"Stop that guy!" A guard cried as someone with a bag full of money came running down the hall.
Peter didn't even think twice; he just walked out of the way and let the thief take the elevator. "Thanks," he said to Peter as he managed to escape.
"What's the matter with you? You let him get away." The guard scoffed as he ran off.
"You could have taken that guy apart. Now he's going to get away with my money." The dealer told Peter.
Peter just shrugged. "Not my problem."
And he quickly made it outside where he then heard sirens, making his way down the street. When he arrived at the scene, the first thing he saw was a crowd surrounding something, and quickly approached the scene.
"We need paramedics down here now, there's a man who's been shot..."
"You're going to be okay, sir." The officer tried to keep him alive and awake. "I need you to keep your attention on me."
Peter forced his way through until he noticed who it was who had been shot. It was his uncle.
"Sir, you can't be here." One of the officers stopped the boy from coming too close.
"That's my uncle!" exclaimed the boy as he pushed past the cop.
Upon hearing that he knew the man, she decided to let him go as he knelt next to Ben. Taking his hand, she felt for the pulse and found it to be weak and shaky.
The boy asked the officers, "What happened?" Worrying about his uncle.
The officer said, "It was a carjacker. He shot him. We've called the paramedics; they're on their way."
Peter clawed at his uncle's hand and tried to get him to open his eyes. "Uncle Ben?"
"Peter," the fearful and worried voice left the man's mouth as he grabbed his nephew's hand. His eyes opened and he smiled when he saw his nephew was there.
"I'm here, Uncle Ben," Peter promises, holding out his hand.
"Peter..." Ben couldn't bring himself to say another thing before putting his head back.
His hand went numb in Peter's, and both Peter and Yuri both knew the sad truth. Peter immediately broke down over the loss of his uncle, while Yuri placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
Peter ran from the scene where his uncle lay on the pavement. He wouldn't let anyone get away with shooting his uncle and leaving him there. He would find the person responsible and ensure they paid for their actions. He sprinted across the street, donned his mask, and scaled the nearest building. As he ascended, he scanned the rooftops for any sign of the killer. Once he reached a suitable height, Peter leaped off and navigated through the city, searching for the culprit.
When he found his uncle's car surrounded by officers, he noticed it was headed toward the warehouse district. His eyes narrowed; he looked like an animal out for the kill. Leaping as high and as far as he could, he ran as fast as he could. He managed to smash right into the hood of the car, causing the driver to crash before the officers could even take notice of Peter.
As the car kept driving, it rammed into several boards that had been used to keep up a doorway in one of the warehouses. The police stopped and couldn't find any other way to enter, so they began looking for another entrance. When Peter crawled around in the darkness of the warehouse, a light of sorts was being shunned from the windows to look for the shooter.
When the shooter looked upward, he noticed Peter hanging from the ceiling and opened fire on him. Peter managed to leap out of the way and hide behind some of the stalls filled with empty shelves. Spooked out by the sudden appearance of another person, the shooter ran toward the back door, only to discover that it was blocked off.
That's when Peter entered, grabbing the shooter by the collar of his shirt and slamming him into the window before throwing him onto the shelves. The shooter groaned as he tried to crawl back up to his feet, drawing his gun once more to shoot Peter. But Peter wasn't going to be shot that easily as he then grabbed the gun and crushed it in his hand. When the shooter drew a knife, Peter quickly dodged the swing and kicked him in the back, slamming the shooter into the window yet again.
"No, wait, please. Don't hurt me!" The shooter pleaded. "Just give me a chance. Just give me a chance!"
"What about that old man you shot in cold blood?" Peter asks, shoving him against the wall. "The man you left to die in the street like an animal?! Did you give him a chance!?" He then grabbed the man by the shoulders and slammed him against the glass. "DID YOU?!"
But then all of a sudden, the police lights came on and they were heading in his direction. Peter got a good look at the man he was holding. He recognized him. It was the guy who he let get away with the money.
It was all his fault. Ben died because of him...
With great power comes great responsibility.
Those words became the groundwork of Peter's identity.
A woman was walking down the street when a man came running past her and grabbed her purse.
"Hey! Stop!" The woman cried as the man kept running with her purse.
Just as he thought he got away, someone came swooping down and picked him up from around the waist.
The thief cried in terror as he was brought over and dropped onto a light post as he was webbed to it. Once he webbed the criminal at the traffic light, he swung over and handed the stolen purse to its rightful owner.
Peter was currently wearing a messy put-together suit, it being the first suit he created. It was all dark red, with a webbing pattern across the whole suit, a bulging spider on his chest, and black outlines under his arms, waits, and legs. Under his armpits, there also was a pair of web wings he had put together.
"Here you go, ma'am," Peter said as he walked over and handed the purse back to her.
"Thank you." The woman said in shock as she looked him over. "Who are you?"
"Me?" Peter asked and gestured to himself. "I'm just your friendly neighborhood...superhero." He then took off swinging. "I gotta work on that."
Peter then found himself finishing a fight between himself and Trapster when he saw Fury standing over him. "Spider-Man. We have to have a word."
Peter however began to recognize he had already been here and looked around. "Wait, haven't we already done this?" He then looked down and saw he was in his original costume that he made. "This was when I fought Trapster."
"No one's saying you didn't stop the bad guy, but look around you," Fury said as if Peter wasn't talking. "Is this the way Captain America would have done it? Cap-"
"Would have stopped Trapster in five seconds." Peter finished as Fury kept talking. "We talked about this... years ago."
Harry Osborn found himself out in the old grounds where he grew up. He sighed as he looked at the school in front of him and waited a few minutes. He then looked at his watch and walked his way to the RV.
"She must have gone home by now." Harry sighed.
"Should we try her residence?" Bernard asks.
Harry decided to do just that as he looked around and wondered what he was doing. "What am I doing, Bernard?"
"You are searching for this world's version of your mother." Bernard reminded him.
"No, not literally." Harry sighed as he wished he had an actual person to talk to. "I mean... what am I hoping to gain? She never knew my father in this world. What am I supposed to even say? She was a doctor in my world, here she is a teacher. They live completely different lives."
"Incoming call from Lois Lane." Bernard interrupted.
Harry was confused as he wondered what she was calling about and answered. "Harry, it's happening."
Suddenly, Peter was aboard the Helicarrier, coming face to face with his old comrades: Iron Fist, Luke Cage, White Tiger, and Nova. Initially, they weren't his biggest supporters, but over time, they grew to become his friends.
"I never agreed to be a part of a team," Peter found himself falling back into his memories.
He made his way back to the elevator and was met with Nick Fury. "I know you feel responsible for what happened to your Uncle Ben. But at some point, you're allowed to forgive yourself and start over. I wouldn't have made this offer if I didn't see the potential in you, and all four of them, to be the next generation of great heroes. The next Avengers. Those kids have the training, and you have the real-world experience. They're willing to give you a chance. Will you give them a chance?"
Then Peter found himself in a dark void. He looked around and heard what sounded like eerie goo.
"So, that's it." The Symbiote voice called. "That's it. That is your power. The people you love."
"No!" Peter cried in anger. "You won't hurt them!"
"Why would I want to do that?" The voice asks. "You have done that yourself."
"He's right." Ben's voice called, getting Peter to flinch as he looked and saw Ben standing there. Blood oozed from his chest where he was shot. "You caused all of the pain."
"All of us," Morbius came out of the darkness. He was still ill from the disease that was killing him before the serum turned him into a vampire.
"A hero is supposed to protect," Li said, coming from the darkness.
"You couldn't save any of us." The voice of May called, getting Peter to freeze. "You're no hero."
"I tried," Peter said as he teared up. "I tried to save all of you."
"And you didn't." The voice said, beginning to consume Peter. "You're no hero."
And as he stood in the midst of reality, the Symbiote began its insidious conquest of his mind. The Symbiote itself possessed a striking appearance, predominantly adorned in a mesmerizing shade of blue, intricately intertwined with vibrant green veins, and adorned with multiple sinewy tendrils. Its eyes bore a resemblance to the lenses of Spider-Man, featuring dark, hollow voids in place of pupils.
"Let there be Toxin.." It snarled as it began to control Peter's body.
The onslaught was advancing rapidly. Teresa, piloting a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicopter, swooped in to rescue Eddie, Lois, and the twins, whisking them away to safety. Despite her reservations about Eddie, Teresa's gratitude for the safety of her family nudged her to extend a tentative trust towards him.
"So...Peter has a sister?" Eddie broke the tension. "Worked with him for years, never knew."
"Separated," Teresa explained. "We were trying to track Peter and Drake, but we lost them over the city."
Lois sighed. "I can't believe this is happening."
"Peter's strong. No doubt he has a plan." Teresa said.
"How bad is it?" Eddie asks.
"We already lost Avengers Tower," Teresa reported. "Drake seemed to have set some sort of nest near the entrance, and it easily consumed the building when the invasion started. Some sort of nest sprung up in the middle of the lake in Central Park."
"Where are we going?" Mayday asks.
"Right now, F.E.A.S.T. is the only secure place we have," Teresa informed her nieces. "We got everyone we could before they got infected. We're being protected by Moon Knight, Luke Cage, we even got word from Iron Fist, and a possible White Tiger sighting."
"You trying to bring the old gang back together?" Lois joked.
"They were Peter's friends." Teresa shrugged. "And Fury wants to be prepared in case..." She didn't dare finish that thought. The idea is that Fury wants to be prepared to kill Spider-Man. "But it isn't going to come to that."
"Let's at least hope," Lois sighed.
"You're leaving?" Peter found himself at an airport where Ava Ayala was preparing to leave to head back home.
"Yeah." Ava shrugged. "I mean, I was here for the training. And since we graduated, everyone has been off doing our own thing. Time to move on."
Peter wasn't sure how he felt on that one. "I don't know how to do that."
"A change of scenery could help," Ava said. "I mean, you lived in New York your whole life. You've saved it from threat after threat, with or without us. It's time to stop thinking about everyone else. And maybe help the world as Peter Parker. Give him a name for himself."
As Peter pondered his future, he made a life-altering decision to embark on a new journey. Despite the emotional turmoil of leaving behind everything familiar, he believed that relocating to Metropolis would offer a fresh start. Although it pained him to part ways with May, he found solace in the knowledge that she had a strong support network through F.E.A.S.T. and he could always visit her.
Determined to carve out a new path for himself, Peter set his sights on Metropolis, anticipating that it would provide a welcome change without straying too far from the urban energy he thrived on in New York. Upon arriving in the city, his first order of business was to secure a place to call home. Thus, he spent his initial day meticulously scouring the city for the perfect apartment.
"Pardon me, ma'am? Ma'am? Do you know where Milledge Avenue is? Milledge Avenue." Peter asked, but the people were just wandering on like nothing. "Milledge Avenue. Oh, excuse me, sir." He was starting to feel like he was back in New York. "Excuse me. Do you know where Milledge Avenue is?"
Then there was something going on when he heard screams. He looked and saw a building on fire and people were frantically screaming and running away. But as he watched the people running, he saw the firefighters and figured that maybe he didn't need to intervene. But then he watched as a frantic woman cried as she ran for the building, being held back by firefighters.
"My baby is in there!" The woman cried. "Somebody save my baby!"
Peter sighed and knew it was only a matter of time before he needed to suit back up. He ran down the alley and immediately ripped his shirt to reveal his Spider-Man attire underneath. He raced down the alley he quickly changed into his clothing and swung back towards the building.
"Please!" The mother cried. "Somebody save my baby!"
"Look!" An onlooker noticed Spider-Man.
"Is that...?" One of the firefighters recognized him.
"Save my baby, please!" The mother cried out.
Peter wasted no time as he swung through the fire-ravaged building, his spider-sense guiding him to the location of the trapped baby. With incredible agility, he crashed through the window and somersaulted into the smoke-filled room, where he heard the cries of the infant. Frantically searching, he located the baby in a nearby apartment, wrapped in a cloth and lying in a crib. As he hurried to reach the infant, he felt the building shaking and knew it was on the verge of collapse.
Rushing to the crib, Peter managed to grab the baby just before the roof caved in, causing debris to crush the crib the baby was in. Cradling the infant protectively, Peter dashed through the crumbling building just before a gas leak ignited in a massive explosion behind him.
With the fire and chaos raging around him, Peter maneuvered his way to a window and swiftly shot out a web to catch himself as he leaped to safety, landing on the ground below. Carrying the baby to its frantic mother, he placed the child gently in her arms, ensuring that both mother and baby were reunited.
"It's okay, your baby is fine," Peter assured as he handed him over.
"Oh, thank you!" She said with relief.
"Hey." The firefighter called out. "Aren't you Spider-Man?"
"That would be me," Peter said as he gave a salute and ran off, shooting a web off to swing away.
Once he was far enough away, Peter changed back into his normal attire and saw people running off in the direction he came from. "Hey, what is going on?"
"There was a superhero sighting." A woman explained.
"A superhero?" Peter tried to play the fool.
"Yeah!" She said.
"Did you see who it is?" Peter asked.
"Some said it was Spider-Guy...or Spider-Man. Whatever." She said as she then ran off. "Someone from the Bugle is definitely going to be there to report this."
Peter chuckled as he then walked off, looking up to see the same Daily Bugle that was referenced. He wondered if maybe he could use his skills as a photographer again to help him get a job here.
Peter was running through the halls of the Daily Planet to keep up with his new boss, Perry White.
"Everyone in here, we're the most dependable friends the people of Metropolis have," Perry stated as he showed Peter around. "You remember that."
Peter had just been hired by Perry to be the new photographer. It seemed White was surprised by the fact he survived J. Jonah Jameson for years without being fired. The photos of Spider-Man over the years did help, and he's already been spotted in Metropolis.
"Yes, sir," Peter confirmed. "Which is a warm welcome compared to the Bugle's lies."
"Jameson always said he only printed facts. And anything that it takes to connect the facts. No matter how ridiculous." White agreed with Peter as they went through the facility. "Stick with Lane, Parker. You'll fit right in."
"Lane?" Peter asked, unsure who that was.
"Are you wearing a tie?" The woman in question asked as he passed her.
Perry White left Peter as he turned around and looked at Lois Lane. "This?" He gestured to his tie. "My uncle always told me to dress for the occasion."
Lois hummed at that knowledge and walked forward, Peter following after her. "Well, remember, next time, it's not a necessity. And a quick warning, don't listen to anything that Lombard tells you, he plays jokes like that around the office. Though, he can get you box seats to the Meteors. You like baseball?"
"Uh, nothing against it, but not a big sports guy," Peter admitted as he followed after her, trying to keep up. "I'm more of a computer guy."
"So, less baseball club and more chess club?" Lois asked him.
"Exactly, Ms. Lane," Peter confirmed.
"It's Lois," Lois tells him. "What did you say your name was?"
"Peter. Peter Parker." Peter introduced himself as he stopped just as Lois stopped.
"Nice name." Lois complimented.
"Well, you have...a nice name, too." Peter complimented back as he looked around. Lois then walked down the hall as Peter's back was turned. "And is it just me or.." that's when he noticed she was gone and raced after her. "Oh, sorry!"
"Hey, Lois." One of her coworkers gets her attention. "Mysterious sighting of Spider-Man once again. Third time this month."
"Where was he this time?" Lois asks.
"Saved a runaway train. Jimmy even got a photo." He said, showing off the photo of Peter with his arms stretched while slowing down the train. "This is my Pulitzer, Lane. I can feel it."
"Spider-Man. Heard he was in town." Peter said.
"Yeah, didn't you used to cover him?" Lois asks.
"Yeah," Peter confirmed with a sigh. "But I came to Metropolis to try and get away from him. Seems he followed me."
"Well, he's become the new hot topic around here that every reporter is tripping over themselves to cover," Lois stated. "Boys and their heroes."
"Oh, aren't heroes a good thing?" Peter asks.
"Yes, and I know that we need this guy," Lois said as they reached her desk. "It's just that ever since he showed up, he's been dominating the conversation. Metropolis has so many problems that aren't just rescue operations. They're systemic." She then showed Peter several photos dealing with fires. "Here, look at this."
"That is a lot of fires," Peter commented.
"Yeah." Lois nodded. "And the one thing they all have in common..." She then showed a picture of the one organization Peter wanted to get away from. "Oscorp."
"Rajit Ratha. Nels Van Adder?" Peter read the list of names and saw their photos. "Their buildings caught on fire too?"
"Their homes. Apartments. They had the top security, some with top-of-the-line inspectors, and they were all killed...and guess how." Lois dared.
"Fire. Gas leaks." Peter took a simple guess.
"I think there is something going on down there," Lois explained.
"Do you have any idea who's responsible?" Peter asked.
"By all accounts, some psycho in a metal mask who flies." Lois scoffed. "Sounds insane."
"Not entirely." Peter chuckled. "I've seen crasier.
"Thories or people who come up with them?" Lois asks.
Peter didn't know if he was supposed to respond to that one or not. "For my own well-being, I am not going to respond."
Lois chuckled at his response. "I have been covering this for months, only my reporting keeps getting drowned out by everyone's favorite Spider-Man."
"How can I help?" Peter asked honestly. "Psycho in a metal mask and can fly? That sounds like my kind of party."
And that was how it began. Peter Parker and Lois Lane were following any lead that they could. Searching for anything that could possibly be a lead on their mysterious man who could fly. They spent late nights searching for answers, looking for any sort of clues. Peter even used his advanced S.H.I.E.L.D. tech he 'forgot' to give back to Fury as a way to sneak into Oscorp with a false identity to hide as a spy to find out what he can.
One night, Lois and Peter were looking at the list of suspects, seeing there was no connection to any of them. All of their leads only lead them to other people, who would either be caught in a fire or caught dead. Even as Spider-Man, all he could do was get there and find them the main victim of the attack. This mystery was getting his attention more and more.
"One of these dirtbags is our guy," Lois said. "I can feel it."
Peter looked over at her and was glad he decided to move. "You're really good at this."
"Thanks," Lois said.
Peter then looked at the time and saw how late it was. "I, um I should get going."
"What's the hurry?" Lois wonders. "You got a big date?"
"No, no, nothing like that," Peter said with a chuckle. "Just, you know, call my aunt, watch some "Seinfeld" reruns. Maybe even heat up some frozen chicken nuggets."
"You've been a really big help, Peter," Lois said with a smile. "If you want, I can probably talk to Perry about you getting a beat of your own, local politics or something."
"Oh," Peter said as he considered it. "Um no. That's it's okay. I'd rather be here."
"For the story or the company?" Lois asked with a cheeky smile.
"Uh, I feel like that's a trick question that you know the answer to," Peter said as he walked off.
The helicopter dropped off on the roof of F.E.A.S.T. as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents raced over to empty the chopper. The Parker family, Brock, and the pilot raced inside to get away from the chaos.
"Sir, it's getting worse out there," Teresa said as she approached Fury and Hill at command. "Spider-Man's been taken into the eye of the Storm."
"Damnit," Fury said with a snarl. "We've lost Stark, Banner, Rogers, and Barton. Now we've got to deal with Parker."
"Fury," Lois approached him as she and her daughters headed inside F.E.A.S.T. to find their friends. "What's happening?"
"It's bad, and it looks like things are only going to get worse," Fury warned her. "Is it true about Parker?"
"Drake took him, and he promised to not harm us if he complied," Lois commented. "He's going to hold off as long as he can, but we have to find him and save him."
"Fury!" Luke Cage called as he, Danny Rand, and Avs Ayala arrived. "We're here to help."
"Thank god, I can use some good news right now," Fury stated and turned to Lois. "What about Osborn?"
"I sent a message. I don't know if he received it," Lois admitted.
"I got it," Harry called as he was led inside by a group of soldiers. "And I am here to help."
"If Spider-Man has been turned, what are we looking at?" Fury wonders.
"Armageddon," Harry went for the point.
Mayday and April headed inside and saw F.E.A.S.T., which had turned into a shelter for the whole city overnight. They saw some kids from school, a few people from the city, and just a few people they recognized personally.
"May. April," Adrian called, getting the two to look over and see the Thompson family. He walked over and sighed in relief. "Glad to see you two are alright."
"Glad to see you guys are okay," April said with a sigh. "It has been a hell of a day."
"Why? What happened?" Flash asked.
"Our house was destroyed. Dad... he was taken by those creatures." Mayday admitted, leaving out the obvious details.
"Oh, honey," Liz said in sorrow as she pulled the twins to sit down. "I'm sorry to hear that."
"Hey, Peter's a tough nut to crack." Flash tried to assure them. "I bet you he's fighting like hell to come back."
Mayday nodded as he looked around. "What about Kamala? Is she here?"
"Oh, yeah, she's here somewhere." Adrian nodded as he looked around. "Junior spotted her near the kitchen, helping pass out food earlier."
Peter was walking down the halls of the Daily Bugle when he saw that Lois wasn't there. He froze and wondered if Lois made some big break in the case last night when he went home.
"You seen Lois?" Peter asked.
"Her contact at the library called back about some guy who works at Oscorp." He answered.
"Who?" Peter asks.
"Uh, Norman...something." He said, walking off to do his job.
Peter then looked over to their board, remembering all of the connections that were made to Norman Osborn. He was making some sort of mysterious experiment for the military, and these people were all secretly connected. Norman Osborn was their man.
Peter ran his way down the hall and knew Lois must have learned where Norman was going to strike next and went to prevent it. Or worse, she went after him herself. He wasn't sure if he could make an educated guess with what he knew about Lois. She somehow managed to keep him on his toes more than May.
"Parker, where's the fire?" White asked.
Peter didn't respond as he ran to the roof and changed into his attire.
"They've done nothing wrong," Lois said as he and Curtis Connors were caught in the middle of a fire.
"You don't seem to get it," Norman said with a laugh. "They are all in the wrong." He then spun around, revealing that he was using a glider to fly. "I am chaos incarnated! I am the true hero of this story!"
Peter then came in swinging, shocking Norman when the man was webbed to the glider. Then Peter shot out several strands, allowing him to strike Norman and knock him down and out with ease. He then shot webs at a water tower, trying to put out the fires before they could spread.
"Who's the hero now?" Peter mocked him, not realizing this was only the beginning of their rivalry.
"How'd you know about this?" Lois asked as the chaos calmed down.
"I've been reading your reports on the "Planet"," Peter admitted. "We haven't formally met."
"I'm Lois Lane." Lois greeted him.
"It's nice to meet you, Ms. Lane," Peter said with a grin under the mask. "And I think you know who I am."
"And who is that?" Lois asks.
"Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man," Peter said, running off and shooting a web to swing.
Harry was getting the layout of what happened and what led to Spider-Man being captured. Lois is trying to keep his identity out of it the best she could. He had sent the heroes he had on standby to shield the F.E.A.S.T. center and keep everyone safe.
"And Spider-Man's last known location was the Parker household?" Harry asks.
"That's right," Fury stated.
"Drake came here after me and the girls, trying to bond us to the Symbiotes." Lois recapped what happened. "Spider-Man and Spider-Girl saved everyone, and got us free of the Symbiotes."
"And then Spider-Man just agreed to go with and be merged with one of them?" Harry clarified.
"To spare our lives, and to buy us some time to find a way to save him," Lois stated. "He... signaled me. He wanted me to contact you so we can find and stop Drake."
Harry however didn't seem to agree but didn't say. "And you're saying he's in the heart of Manhattan?"
"Central Park was the last known sighting of this... Riot symbiote they described." Fury confirmed.
"Harry, you do know better than anyone what's possibly at risk here," Lois says to him. "which is why we need your help to come up with a rescue plan."
"A rescue plan?" Harry asks. "Spider-Man must have known what he was getting into. There is a high possible chance he can be turned. If he signaled you to call me, he knows the likelihood is that I will kill him. To save our world, I need to put him down by any means necessary."
"Wait, what?" Teresa asked. "You can't be serious. We're not killing Spider-Man. You're not here to kill him."
"Why else would Spider-Man want you to call me in?" Harry asks.
"I don't know, but I know it's not because he's giving up," Lois stated.
"Lois, he knows what he is up against," Harry stated. "He's trying to stop the end of the world."
"We can do that by saving him," Lois stated.
"Look, Spider-Man is our greatest asset in this fight against Drake," Fury agreed with them, for more reasons than he is letting on. "At this juncture, it would be a tactical error to kill him."
"A tactical error would be to let this Earth fall the way mine did," Harry stated as his voice cracked. "It took him three days to bring the whole city of New York to its knees."
Lois however stood her ground. "It's not too late for him."
"Lois, the more time that passes, the greater the odds are that he is gone," Harry stated.
"He won't be turned," Lois says.
"He will eventually," Harry stated.
Lois stood up in anger, needing to get her breath. "Just... find him."
"I'll go talk to her," Teresa said as she walked off.
Fury sighed as he watched them leave. Harry however knew this was the perfect time to talk to Fury. "Fury. If he turns... its all over."
Fury sighed and knew he needed to think of Earth. "Look, they don't know this, but I brought some weapons that were designed... to kill Avengers if the time came."
"I might have something a bit more effective," Harry offered.
Back in the day, Lois was currently doing an interview with Spider-Man, unaware that he was the man she had been working with for a long time.
"Welcome to the "Daily Planet Today"." Lois started off. "I'm Lois Lane, and with me for his first on-camera interview is Spider-Man." She then looked over to Peter in his old Spider-Man attire. "I appreciate you agreeing to be here."
"Thanks for having me, Ms. Lane," Peter said.
"Now, as you know, the world has been captivated by you ever since your sudden appearance in Metropolis over a year ago, and one of the big questions that always gets asked regarding why you left New York." Lois started the interview. "I mean, you protected the city for years, and then one day you just sorta vanished?"
Well, tell you the truth, a lot of things were changing personally and professionally." Peter admitted. "So, I thought that a new change of scenery would be best."
"And did you live in New York your whole life?" Lois wonders.
"More or less," Peter admitted.
"What would you say to the people of the world when asked what you stand for?" Lois wonders.
"I'd like to think I don't really stand for anything," Peter admitted. "I feel like if anything, I stand for anyone who wants to do the right thing. The idea of Spider-Man is that it can be anyone behind the mask."
"And the suit, where do you get that? Is there some sort of shop for superheroes?" Lois wonders.
"I mean, there is, I found out my buddy Daredevil has a designer up in California," Peter admitted with a laugh, getting Lois to chuckle. "But no, I tailored this myself."
There was then some microphone feedback, getting their interview interrupted. Lois tried to fix it, but it kept on going.
"Cut! Can someone please take a look at Lois's mic?" Janet asked as she stepped forward. "All right, everybody, let's stand by for sound check."
"Stand by please."
Lois sighed as she walked off to get her microphone looked over while Spider-Man was left there. "I feel like we're not getting anywhere."
"I can't believe it," Janet said in shock.
"No, I know, he's, like, giving me the runaround." Lois sighed.
"No, not that," Janet stated. "I think Spider-Man is into you."
Lois scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous."
"The way he keeps looking at you?" Janet asked. "I mean, even through those eye lenses, I can tell how he is looking at you. It's the way I dream of having someone look at me like that. It's basically how all my favorite movies end."
Lois scoffed. "Janet, he's Spider-Man. It's part of his whole shtick. He talks to people in a nice way."
"Okay, listen, I'm not talking to you as your producer," Janet said. "I'm talking to you as one of your best friends. And I am telling you-"
"Janet."
"There is some serious chemistry happening."
"Listen to me."
"And you need to bring your A-game if you wanna go out with the world's most eligible bachelor."
Lois sighed. "I am not interested, okay? I'm in love with someone else."
That got Peter's attention a little, getting him to look over towards Lois in surprise.
"Peter from the paper," Lois explained. "We've been dating for a couple of months. I know he's dorky, but I love him."
"Right, the guy with the camera." Janet understood.
"Yeah."
"He's so sweet."
"Yeah."
"Well, that's great, Lois."
"I-I had no idea you were in love," Janet admitted.
"That's because I haven't told anyone yet, not even him," Lois admitted.
Janet looked over and noticed Spider-Man peeking at his head. "Hey, random superhero question. He wouldn't happen to have super-hearing?"
Lois looked over towards Spider-Man who offered a friendly wave, hiding the clearly visible smile on his face. Lois felt embarrassed as she didn't know who he was yet.
"Can we just go?" Lois asked.
"Yeah, yeah," Janet said as she finished fixing the mic.
Lois walked back over and tried to be professional. "I apologize. That was unprofessional."
Peter chuckles. "That's okay. I'm not that big on professionalism." He joked, getting Lois to laugh. "He's a he's a lucky man."
"Don't think this means I'm gonna take it easy on you," Lois warned him.
"I'd be offended if you did," Peter stated.
"Okay," Lois said as she got ready.
"Ready?" Lois asked as she got back to the interview.
Harry showed Fury a hologram projection of a weapon he used on his Earth. "What is this?" Fury asks.
"A controlled black hole generator," Harry answered. "It's designed to open a small, contained, controllable black hole. It will drag in Symbiotes and anything in its proximity."
"For how long?" Fury wonders.
"As long as we deem fit," Harry answered. "We can send every Symbiote into the vastness of dead space."
"You made this thing?" Fury asks.
"With my father," Harry confirmed.
"And it worked?" Fury asks.
Harry flashes back to when he tried to drop the generator into the heart of New York, but he never saw the end result as he ended up on their earth when he dropped it.
"So you don't know if it worked?" Fury asks.
"It would have worked, Fury," Harry promised. "If we want to end this, rid the world of Symbiotes forever, we should do the exact same thing."
"Kind of hard to do without your board, isn't it?" Fury asks.
"I'm already working on that," Harry promised. "Get someone to find me the parts I need for one of these, and I'll take care of the rest."
Fury sighed as he saw there was no alternative as of right now.
Teresa was still with Lois as she was trying to help her calm down. "After everything... everything that Peter has done for that man..."
"Well, Fury isn't known for picking favorites." Teresa reminded her.
"He fought for that man. Almost died for him." Lois groaned. "He was out. If it weren't for Harry, Peter wouldn't have gone back into the suit."
"Okay, I think we both know that isn't entirely true," Teresa said, getting Lois to stop. "Come on, we know that Peter missed that suit."
"He gave it up," Lois reminded her.
"For the girls," Teresa nodded. "And you think he didn't miss it?"
Lois sighed as she considered her answer. "I could tell. He never said anything, but... he missed it."
"He wanted to be the father that he and I never got to have," Teresa stated. "But even he knew the girls could likely be like him."
"And he was half right," Lois chuckled, remembering when she learned Mayday became Spider-Girl. "He just wanted to be part of their lives."
Teresa was going to say something when she looked and noticed a helicopter with equipment. She recognized what it was and became worried. "Oh, god."
Harry opened the containment and saw that there was a small energy source that would power his black hole generator.
"This should work," Harry promised Fury.
"I thought you were on our side," Lois said, marching into the room.
"It's just a precaution," Fury stated. "No decisions have been made."
"Except for the part where you're building a black hole, something capable of swallowing us." Teresa reminded him. "We're in Manhattan, Fury. A black hole opens, a lot of people, a lot of innocent people are gonna die. Not including those innocents caught in those creatures."
"A million to save thousands," Harry states.
"Okay, that is not how we do things here, pal," Teresa stated.
"Spider-Man has fought these Symbiotes. Hell, I fought these things from the inside. It is possible to fight back." Lois states.
"Possible. Maybe?" Harry asks. "You willing to risk the fate of your entire world on that?"
Then there was a ping coming from Spider-Man's tracker. It got them to see that there was a chance to now track him.
Peter was finally introducing Lois to Teresa and May after they finally managed to get some time off. They traveled to New York to spend some time in his old stomping ground. They held hands while Lois was carrying a bouquet of flowers for May.
"I'm nervous," Lois admitted.
"I didn't think you got nervous." Peter joked.
"Well, it's your aunt, Peter." Lois reminded him. "She's basically your mom. What if she or your sister doesn't like me?"
"That's not possible." Peter laughed.
"Maybe you haven't seen the reader mail section of the newspaper, but trust me, it's very possible," Lois stated.
"Hi!" May cheered as she exited the house and approached them. "Oh, I'm so glad you could make it!" She went over to Lois and immediately hugged her. "Oh, look at you."
Lois hugged her back.
"Ever since Peter told me about the two of you, I couldn't wait to have you out here," May tells them.
"Told you," Peter told Lois.
"Well, I'm happy to finally make it," Lois said as she handed the flowers out.
"Oh, thank you," May said as she took the flowers. "Lots of folks at FEAST are dying to meet you too."
"What? May, you promised." Peter chuckled.
"Oh, Peter." May scoffed.
"It's just the neighbors and the Thompsons, and, you know, girls from bridge club, so..." May listed off. "And a few FEAST employees."
"Well, I'm very excited to meet everyone," Lois said. "Peter mentioned his sister was in town."
"Oh, she will be back soon." May promised as they headed inside. "But, come on inside. I've got lunch waiting."
Peter was now helping with the dishes while Lois got to know May and Teresa who finally managed to show up.
"She's wonderful," May said as she joined Peter as Lois was talking with Teresa.
"Yeah, I know," Peter said with a smile.
"So what took you so long to bring her here?" May wonders.
Peter sighed. "Because I needed to be ready."
"To meet me?" May asks.
"That's not what I meant," Peter explained. "I brought her here to tell her who I really am."
May was surprised to hear that. "Oh, are you sure?" She wonders. "Once you tell her, there's no going back."
"Yeah, well there was no going back after the first time I saw her," Peter stated with a smile.
May teared up a little as she hugged her nephew. "I'm so happy for you, honey."
Lois and Teresa walked in while laughing when they saw the moment. "Everything okay?"
"Everything's perfect, dear," May said as she let go of Peter. "Just perfect."
"You follow me," Peter asked of Lois as they walked off. "I wanna show you something."
Then Peter brought Lois to an alleyway where he revealed the truth to her. She was the woman he wanted to know and show he trusted with everything he had to hide. There were now no more secrets between them.
As he dangled upside down, Lois walked over and kissed Peter aa he dangled from a web. Peter kissed her back and this was when their fates were sealed. Nothing was going to separate Lois Lane and Peter Parker from one another.
Lois was tearing up because she was afraid of losing her family. She walled into the room Harry was working in and had tears swelling as she approached him.
"Can I talk to you?" Lois asks.
"Lois, I know what you're going to say-"
"No. you don't." Lois stated. "You need to hear this. I have told you repeatedly that this world was different than yours. That lur Spider-Man was different from the monster who destroyed your world. That he would never turn on us. And you've asked how I could know for certain. Ive never answered that question. But I will now." This was her last ditch effort to save her husband. "He is everything to me. Love of my life. Father of my daughters. Spider-Man is my husband..."
Harry froze when he heard that. "Spider-Man is Peter Parker?" He wanted to clarify. "And your girls?"
"They only just found out when their own powers emerged," Lois admitted. "I need you to know the truth of why Spider-Man is different here. He has a family to fight for. Which means he won't give up, and we can't."
"Lois, this doesn't change anything," Harry told her.
"How could you say that?" Lois asked. "He loves his daughters. He loves me. That matters."
"What about the other daughters, wives, that will be killed when he attacks?" Harry asks.
"He won't attack. He won't give up, which means he can be saved," Lois pleaded.
"Lois, he wanted you to call me because he knew what I would do." Harry reminds her,
"Worst case scenario, he knows you won't hesitate," Lois knew him better than Harry did. "Fine. But I need you to believe there's a chance."
"If that's what you need, then you called the wrong guy," Harry said. "Everything you said is just getting in the way of what needs to be done. But you were right about one thing. I won't hesitate. I watched you die. I lost Sarah. I won't lose another world."
"And I am telling you killing Peter will not accomplish anything," Lois pleaded. "Please, I am begging you, don't do this."
"I'm sorry, Lois," Harry said as he walked back to get back to work.
But he didn't realize that Mayday was standing outside the room, listening to everything. She walked off reached into her pocket and drew her Spider-Girl mask. She then looked over and saw her dad's tracker. She knew what she had to do...
Peter was now lying in bed with Lois Lane a few months after their wedding. They were on their honeymoon and were
"I can't believe I married Lois Lane," Peter said.
"I'm all yours, babe," Lois whispered. "For better or for worse."
"You know, I- I kept my secret from everyone, a lot of people, for so long, and now I know why," Peter said to Lois. "It was for you. So we could have this life together. There's no one I'd rather share it with."
"Babe, there's something I need to tell you," Lois whispered.
"What is it?" Peter wonders.
"I'm pregnant," Lois informed him.
Peter froze when he heard that. "You're pregnant?"
Lois nodded. "Yes. I know, we weren't even trying."
"We didn't even know if this was possible, but I took three pregnancy tests, and they all say the same thing," Lois admitted, considering his blood was more or less radioactive. "We're gonna be parents."
"I can't believe it," Peter said with glee.
"I can't believe it either." Lois chuckled as she hugged him. "It's like you said... This is why you kept your secret. So we can share our life together. And now we can have a family. I didn't even realize I wanted one this badly until now."
"Yeah," Peter said as he laughed as he kissed her. "Yeah, me too."
"Okay, be honest, you want a boy or a girl?" Lois wonders.
"I... I just want the baby to be healthy." Peter admitted.
"Come on, Webs." Lois scoffed. "That's so predictable."
"What? It's true." Peter defended.
"All right, well, I'm just gonna say it," Lois stated as she kissed him. "I want a girl.
Peter chuckled. "Okay." He then pulled Lois in close. "Okay...:
Harry flew off on his new glider through the skies above Central Park. He saw swarms of Symbiotes everywhere and was searching for the main hive. He flew down discreetly as he landed and approached a nest. He carried a few Symbiote weapons so that he could defend himself.
"I've found the hive," Harry said as he drew the generator. "Placing the generator, now." Then his systems went off, alerting him of someone coming in. "Wsit. Something-"
That was when Toxin came out of hiding. Harry looked down and recognized the logo. Spider-Man had been turned. He crushed the generator, making it obsolete.
"Spider-Man," Harry said.
That was when Toxin attacked, sending tendrils out to cause Harry to drop the generator and be flung into the lake. "Osborn, talk to me," Fury called.
"Spider-Man has been turned," Harry stated.
"You sure?" Fury asks.
Toxin landed at the waterfront and snarled. "You cannot stop the birth of a new age. None of you can stop this."
"I'm sure," Harry stated.
Toxin then leaped into the air and went to attack Harry. Harry retaliated by raising his wrist and shooting a missile that struck Toxin, causing him to slam into the ground. But the Symbiote got back up and leaped at Harry, slamming him into the water, and punching him as Harry struggled to escape his grasp.
Fury sighed as he was sorry to say the time had come. "Osborn, listen to me. You are fully authorized to retaliate. Weaken him and then take him out."
"No, wait-" Lois said.
"He's gotta fire that device or he's dead," Fury said.
"You use that device, you could kill everyone," Teresa stated.
Harry then used his glider to come over and shoot Toxin, getting him to stop his attack on Harry. When he prepared to strike him with a blade, webbing struck the blade, getting Harry to look over as he saw that it was Spider-Girl. She leaped in and got Harry out of her father's grasp.
"What are you doing here?!" Harry asks.
"Osborn, what's happening?" Fury asks.
"Spider-Girl's here," Harry answered.
Lois seemed surprised to hear that as she picked up the radio. "Harry, you've got got to get through to him or you're both dead."
Toxin screeched as he went to strike Mayday she caught his fist and tried to get him to break out. "Dad, it's me!" She tried to get through to him. "Come on, please! I don't want to fight you, too!"
Harry took the moment to then use a missile filled with chemicals designed to weaken Spider-Man. He fired the missile, sending Mayday and Toxin flying in two opposite directions. Toxin screeched as the high frequency caused him to lose control. Mayday was sent flying and was weakened as she breathed in the chemicals. He then readied a missile to scorch the Symbiote, but also scorch the person underneath.
"Harry, please don't!" Lois pleaded.
"He's got no choice," Fury stated.
Toxin was trying to stay in control, but Spider-Man was fighting his way through as he looked up to Harry with the missile pointed at him. "You gotta do it."
Harry was surprised to hear that he was indeed still in there. "Harry! He's still in there! Harry, please!" Lois begged.
Peter was grunting as he tried to hold Toxin back. "I can't stop."
"Harry, he's still in there," Lois begged. "I promise you can get through to him. Please."
"You gotta save them. You gotta save them. You gotta do it, Harry." Peter begged of him. "I can't stop."
Harry looked over towards Mayday and saw she loved her father. He thinks of Sarah, and wonders if he was in this position would he want someone to kill him for her? He was taken from his daughter, he wasn't about to take a loving father away from his daughters if he could stop it. He shut down communications with the base.
"We lost audio."
"Parker," Harry said as he removed his mask. "Lois sent me to help you." He said as he watched Peter struggle to fight. "She still believes in you. I met your girls, and they believe in you too. Let me tell you something, man. I know what it means to lose the people you love." He said as he watched Peter struggle to contain Toxin. "That pain you feel right now is nothing compared to what happens if you lose them. And right now you've got a chance to fight! Do not let that bastard take you away from your family. You remember who you are, and you fight back, damn it!"
Peter heard him as his voice echoed in his head. "You fight!"
Peter's mind flooded with memories of the people who had given him strength throughout the years: his friends, his family, and the ones he loved. The names of Lois, Mayday, April, and Teresa echoed in his mind, reminding him of everything he had endured for their sake. As he struggled to free himself from the slimy, green Symbiote that clung to his skin, he thought of all those he had fought to protect, realizing that now, it was they who needed him to save himself.
With determined resolve, he reached up to his head and down to his neck, grappling with the Symbiote until he managed to pull it off his face, revealing a battered and torn Spider-Man suit underneath. Every movement strained against the Symbiote's hold, gradually uncovering the damaged suit beneath. Finally, with one last forceful motion, he tore the Symbiote off his arms, causing it to abandon its host and slink away into the darkness. But it didn't get far before Harry used a flamethrower and burned it to a crisp.
Peter panted in pain and sorrow as he looked up to Harry. "Thank you..."
Harry nodded as he walked over and helped him stand up. "Don't mention it." He then reactivated the comms. "We got him. He's back."
"Harry, can he hear me? Spider-Man?" Lois asks.
"I'll be back soon." Peter promise.d Then he remembered what happened and looked to Mayday. "May!" He ran over and saw the chemicals were already wearing off. "You okay?"
"So that's what asthma feels like." Mayday wheezed. "I'll live."
Peter choked as he hugged his daughter. "You did good. Even though what you did was also stupid."
"I couldn't just stand there and let him kill you if I could have helped." Mayday defended herself.
Peter chuckled as he remembered that he used to use those exact words. "Oh, you are definitely my daughter."
"Osborn!" Fury cried on the comms. "He's here! Drake is here!"
"Drake is attacking F.E.A.S.T.!" Harry warned them.
As they approached F.E.A.S.T., the trio witnessed the street swarming with Symbiotes launching their assault. Numerous S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had already fallen victim, as well as some of the people taking shelter such as Flash Thompson and a few others, their bodies overtaken by the Symbiotes. Amidst the chaos, civilians were being hurriedly evacuated from the rear, with April observing the turmoil from the sidelines. Her gaze fell upon a small Halloween basket brimming with costumes. Clenching her fists, she realized she needed to do something. Outside, Eddie, with Venom, was holding the line, while the young superhero Ms. Marvel emerged to lend her aid. Luke Cage, Ava, and Danny were helping evacuate people to the roof so that the rescue choppers could get them out.
April dashed down the corridor, seizing the costume-filled basket, her mind racing for a disguise to shield her identity. Her search yielded a tattered hoodie adorned with a spider emblem, its smudged appearance resembling a spray-paint job. She then uncovered a form-fitting red suit that she slipped on to conceal her figure, complemented by matching red boots, gloves, and a Spider-Man mask.
Memories of her father's tales about F.E.A.S.T. surfaced, guiding her to a hidden stash of old web shooters tucked away beneath some lockers. She then wrapped them around her wrist and ran her way outside to help the fight.
"Drake has been busy!" Peter stated as they swung over.
"Good thing that the cleanup crew is here!" Harry stated, shooting several missiles to create a sonic frequency to set them off balance.
Mayday then went in swinging as she kicked a Symbiote out of the way of some pedestrians trying to escape. Venom screeched as he leaped in and grabbed one of the Symbiotes, throwing them aside and into the wall.
"This is worse than I thought!" Peter cried as he leaped onto the roof of an evacuation vehicle that was consumed and punched a Symbiote.
"It's like he is trying to start an army!" Mayday cried as she shot webs at another Symbiote.
"If you ask him, he believes he is saving the world!" Peter scoffed as he shot another Symbiote with a webbing and yanked it. "We've got to hurry and get that roof cleared!"
That was when April came in swinging when Madyay was knocked down. "Incoming!" She then kicked the Symbiote off her sister and helped her stand "You okay?"
"April?" Mayday was shocked to see her in a superhero suit. "Where did you get those web shooters?"
"Some of Dad's old prototypes," April explained. "Now, come on, they need that landing platform clear."
The four of them reached the roof where they saw that the Symbiotes were beginning to break into FEAST through the front entrance. Luckily everyone was already evacuated and were waiting for the roof to be cleared. They saw a chopper coming to evacuate as they worked on getting the Symbiotes off the roof.
Mayday leaped over and used her gymnastics knowledge to combine them with fighting techniques as she shot herself a rope as she would use for gymnastics and then wrapped it around one of the Symbiotes and yanked. The creature hit the side of FEAST and released the Agent.
April was having some difficulty since she didn't get any proper training, but she used her powers to the best ability to keep her family safe. She threw weak punches, but with her strength, those weak punches packed a hit. Harry threw several sonic grenades that went off and sent the remaining Symbiotes flying.
"Let's get these people out of here!" Peter said as he ran to the doorway.
Peter then yanked the doors open as the helicopter landed and everyone began to evacuate to the helicopter. Lois watched as everyone was evacuated and looked over to Spider-Man with a proud look when she recognized Mayday and April were working together to keep them safe. She was however distracted that she didn't notice there was a Symbiote that was much larger than the last ones that came before. It marched over and grabbed Lois, causing her to shriek.
Peter then reacted and jumped to save her. "Lois!"
Peter tried to yank her free, but the Symbiote grabbed him and tossed Spider-Man aside like he was a ragdoll. Peter landed on the side of a building and watched as Lois drew one of the sonic grenades and set it off. The giant Symbiote screeched as it flung Lois away.
"Mom!" Mayday cried as she tried to save her.
But Lois slammed into the Symbiote hoard and immediately was beginning to be attacked by all sides. April and Mayday went in first as they tried to reach their mom, but were only being bombarded with Symbiotes on all sides. The more they fought, the more Symbiotes came after them. Lois was completely surrounded by the hoard and couldn't fight them all since she didn't have any powers. Harry saw her and quickly drew some explosives, but was then attacked by Symbiotes and thrown into the wall.
April and Mayday were grabbed by a bunch of tendrils that began to lower them inward and drag them into the hoard. But that was when a glowing hand reached in and grabbed the two and yanked them out. That was when they saw that it was Martin Li who came to their time of need just as Spider-Man swung down.
"Are you two alright?!" Li asks.
"Li!?" Peter was shocked to see him.
"What are you doing here?" Mayday asks.
"Mom!" April saw the hoard devouring their mom.
Li worked quickly as he charged up Negative energy and leaped into the hoard surrounding Lois. The shockwave saved several people from the Symbiote hoard and they saw Lois being consumed by the Symbiote as it was latching onto her. He created a forcefield around the Spider family to keep them safe.
"What is it doing?" Mayday asks.
"It's not corrupting her," Li recognized. "It is consuming her."
"Drake must know I broke free, and now he is attacking my family." Peter guessed.
Li reached up and tapped Lois' head and felt the power. "I might be able to cleanse her of it. It will take all of my power."
"Do it. Please." Peter begged.
Li nodded as he immediately got to work and started to channel all of his Negative energy into the Symbiote on Lois, trying to free her of it. He channeled all of his energy so much that the forcefield around them was beginning to falter. The Symbiotes seem to recognize this and came in to strike when it fell.
"Li?" Peter warned him as they all stood back to back. "You better hurry!"
Li grunted as he charged all of his energy and managed to shrink the Symbiote into Lois. "I think I got it."
Lois gasped as the forcefield collapsed, and she leaped up, energized by an unexplained vigor. A bizarre white substance enveloped her, radiating a luminous glow. As the brilliance faded, Lois stood transformed, clad in an all-white Spider-Man costume adorned with a stark black spider emblem, a stark contrast to Spider-Man's classic Symbiote Suit. The suit's eye lenses were sharply angular and expansive, maintaining the ability to reflect the wearer's emotions dynamically.
Lois looked down at herself in shock and confusion. "What the hell?" Then she felt as if her body was working on instinct as she sensed the approaching Symbiotes. She leaped into the air conjured a giant fist of goo and threw it. When the goo hit the ground, it splattered and saved everything it hit from the Symbiote's control. "What is this thing!?"
"Li went into your head to drain the Symbiote, channeling all his energy into it," Mayday explained as she gestured to Li. "Looks like it had a side effect."
"It created a... Anti-Venom," Peter said in shock.
Venom then leaped down with Harry as he helped him out while they were busy. "Ooh, look at this! Four spiders!"
"Ah, JJ must be having a field day," Eddie said with a laugh.
Peter looked over to see there was a swarm of Symbiotes closing in. "This isn't over yet, guys."
The five of them then stood together as they saw the swarm closing in. They all ran off towards the herd as April and Mayday got the first strike as they went in for a combo strike. Mayday slid underneath the first Symbiote, giving April an opening as she shot a web into the Symbiote's face. Then Mayday shot a web at its legs, the twins working together to lift the Symbiote into the air and slammed him into the ground, knocking the Symbiote clean off.
Venom charged into the hoard, throwing them off balance and fighting the few Symbiotes who came close enough. Peter and Harry then worked together as Harry shot off several sonic missiles and Peter shot off some webs. He latched into the missiles and flung them into the heard, sending the Symbiotes flying. Then Lois came in as she stretched her arms out and dozens of tendrils grabbed the hoard and slammed it into the ground.
With the dust settling, the battle was won. But they knew that this war had only begun. With everyone claming down, Lois took a second and retracted her mask, getting a feel for this suit. Then she was engulfed by hugs by Mayday and April running up to her and wrapping her in their arms.
"I thought we lost you!" Mayday said with relief.
"I'm so glad you two are alright," Lois said in relief as she hugged her daughters.
"Us? You were badass, mom!" April stated. "That was the coolest thing I've ever seen!"
Lois then looked over to Peter with relief as she separated from her daughters and approached him. "I thought I lost you."
"You kinda did for a moment, not gonna lie," Peter admitted. "But no..." he looked at his daughters and smiled. "I had too much to come back to. Too much to fight for."
Peter looked over to Harry and Li. "Guess I owe both of you now."
"Consider us even," Harry said.
Li sighed as he looked up to FEAST. The best thing he ever created. "I spent years of my life consumed with vengeance... and lost everything for it. But you and your family reminded me that's not who I am anymore. 'When you help someone... you help everyone'." He then looked and saw that the Symbiote hoard was still growing. "Looks like you've got work to do."
Li then walked off as April walked ahead. "Where you gonna go?"
"Set some things right, your way," Li said, gesturing to Peter as he walked off.
"You have a strange relationship with your enemies," Lois commented.
"Tell me about it," Peter said as he looked at his daughters. "I have been proud of you two your whole lives. Every accomplishment you've ever done, I only grew more proud. But right now? I don't think you two could make me any prouder than at this moment."
Mayday and April ran over and hugged their father as he hugged them back. They were not done fighting, but they were going to do this together. They were going to defend the city they love together as a family.
