No more smoke and mirrors

Peter continues to fall from the sky and activates his gliding wings and makes his way towards the monster and flies inside before landing on a drone.

"Whoa. This is pretty awesome." Peter admits, looking around before getting to work, swinging around and webbing the drones to all interconnect.

-

"William, I've got drones breaking formation." Beck says from the bridge and sees something wrong with the projecton.

"Maybe they hit a flock of birds. You're fine." William promises.

"Give me control, I wanna see." Beck says and watches as the drones are getting webbed by Spider-Man.

"Do you see anything?" William asks.

"Yeah." Beck replies, getting annoyed by how many times he has to kill this kid. "And I'm gonna kill him."

-

Peter swings around and finishes webbing them and drops as he activates the taser webs and the illusion starts coming apart to reveal what it truly is, drones, smoke and mirrors.

A drone appears in front of fury ready to kill him.

"You got me?" Nick asks and Maria is on the roof and shoots a missile at the drone.

"I got you." Maria confirms, destroying the drone.

Peter looks and sees Beck on the bridge. "I see you." He says and leaps through the drones to stop him when a drone flies by and smacks him down onto the bridge.

He quickly gets up and sees at least everyone will see the truth.

-

"The monster was full of drones! It's crazy!" Flash screams as he runs with Ava, Ned, and MJ as Deke gives their location for May.

"I've got you." May says and they land the Zephyr so they can pick them up.

Beck looks out the window and sees the plane. "Who the hell is this?"

Inside, Deke gets a lock on some nearby drones and blows them out of the sky using the plane's weapon system as May goes to find them.

"Ava!" May shouts through the crowd and Ava spots her.

"May!" Ava shouts and the others all stop in front of her.

"I've gotta get you all out of here! Get on the Zephyr." May tells them.

"Wait, who are you?" MJ asks.

"I work with Spider-Man." May explains, quickly, unsure who knows Peter's secret or not.

"You work for Spider-Man?!" Flash asks, excited.

"I'm working with Spider-Man, not for Spider-Man." May corrects him. "Now, get in the jet." She says and pushes them to the jet.

-

Peter is running from the drones and sees explosions.

"May, you okay?" Peter asks.

"We're fine, they're safe. Just stop Beck." May tells him.

Suddenly, all the drones start coming at him and he runs across the bridge before swinging around the bridge and webs a few of them down and knocks them into one another.

-

May and the others all get on the Zephyr and close the doors before preparing to take off when the drones short circuit the plane, keeping it on the ground.

"Don't worry. The walls are eight feet thick. It'll take him time to get through." May promises when a laser starts drilling through the plane.

"Is it time to worry now?" Deke asks.

-

Peter leaps and hides behind a taxi as bullets rain down on him.

"Guys, say something. Let me know you're alive!" Peter begs as he sees millions of explosions keeping him from Beck.

"We're here. We bought you some time, but not much." May tells him.

"I'm trying to get to Beck, but I can't shake these drones." Peter says as he webs the taxi before raising him and it into the air and uses the car to destroy several dozen drones at once and makes his way to the roof.

Once there, more drones shoot fire at him and Peter runs to the edge and leaps, luckily only his suit caught fire.

Peter swings and avoids the missiles and creates a web net to destroy the drones and swings over the river to put out the flames.

More drones come by and Peter grabs one of them. "Going up!"

He webs the drone and swings around, connecting dozens of the drones and as he swings over the bridge and makes another web net before swinging underneath it and using a web to pull all the drones down, destroying them and flipping in the air and landing on his feet and hand.

Once he landed, he gets hit by a sonic blast and sent into the river.

Peter starts getting back out and sees he's restarting the illusion. He gets back up on the bridge and sees he's out of web fluid and he sees a damaged drone is sending a sonic blast up towards where Beck is.

Testing it out, he tosses a stuffed animal and it goes flying before getting shot down by the drones instantly.

-

"Are we gonna die?" Ned asks as the lasers are cutting through the Zephyr.

"Nobody dies on my watch." May promises and raises one of the weapons to take them down if they get through.

Sonic blasts come in and start blasting the doors.

"I wasted my life playing video games, and we're gonna die!" Ned says as the blasts keep coming.

"I have a fake ID, and I've never even used it." Betty tells them as another blast attacks the doors.

"I only post stupid videos daily for people to like me." Flash confesses.

"Hey, if it weren't for those videos, Spider-Man would've never found you." May tells him.

"Spider-Man...Spider-Man follows me?" Flash asks and starts to cheer up. "I saved us, guys."

"If you saved us, then why are we about to die?!" MJ asks and they all complain as another blast comes in like T-Rex footsteps. "I'm sorry, okay? I'm just obsessed with telling the truth even if it hurts other people's feelings." She says as another blast comes.

"I'm in love with Daisy Johnson." Deke confesses as everyone just freezes and look at him since everyone knows who Quake is, including May and Ava who look even more grossed out by that news. "What? We're sharing, right?"

-

Peter tears apart one of the drones and finds its explosive core and ties it to a belt from one of the cars and grabs the sign for the bridge to use as a shield.

Harnessing his inner Captain America, he swings the bomb and uses the shield for the bullets before throwing the core and it explodes, giving him an opening as he leaps on the sonic drone and goes flying to makes it to Beck and punches him, causing the drones to stop.

"Your lies are over, Beck." Peter tells him.

"This certainly isn't ideal, but I have contingencies." Beck replies when Peter gets blasted down the hall by a drone as Beck has two more helping him.

"Just give me the glasses." Peter says, as he gets back up, seriously sick of these things.

"You want these?" Beck asks while holding the glasses. "Come get them." He says as more drones fly in and create the illusion of an empty hallway with green mist.

Peter calms himself down and focuses on his powers while closes his eyes. "Come on, Peter tingle." He says as he charges ahead and leaps off the walls, ceiling and tears through the drones and uses them against the other.

Beck sees he's in trouble and is confused to why the other drones aren't firing. "Why aren't these drones firing?" He asks EDITH.

"You're in the strike zone." EDITH tells him. "The chance of getting hit-"

"No, fire all the drones, NOW!" Beck commands and all them start firing at Peter and he dodges the bullets as the illusion comes crashing down and he works through the drones and one butter hits Beck.

Peter finishes the drones and rips off his mask as he approaches the injured Beck.

"You lied to me." Peter states. "I shouldn't have trusted you so blindly."

"I know." Beck agrees. "That's the most...d-disappointing part. You're a good person, Peter. Such a weakness for the greatest Agent." He mocks then pulls out the glasses. "Stark was right. You do deserve them."

Peter holds his hand out and stops the real Beck from shooting and sees that Beck was hiding behind another illusion.

"You Have no more smoke and mirrors to hide behind." Peter states as he punches Beck, rendering him unconscious as he takes back the glasses. "EDITH, turn off the drones."

"Welcome back, Peter. Shall I execute all cancellation protocols?" EDITH asks him.

"Yes, shut them all down, now." Peter tells her and all the drones fly off. "Thank you."

-

Near the bridge, the members of his crew are trying to make their escapes and are met by a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents waiting for them.

May opens the doors to the Zephyr and see the drones are gone and MJ runs off.

"Wait, were you going?" Deke asks as she runs off.

-

Peter watches on the street of the bridge as Fury and Hill take Beck and his men away, knowing they're all gonna answer for everything now.

He starts walking away while limping and sees the destruction when he sees MJ approaching him.

"MJ." Peter says as she runs up and hugs him.

"Hey, are you okay?" MJ asks him.

"I'm okay. Are you okay?" Peter asks.

"Yeah. Everyone's okay." MJ assures him.

"What happened?" Peter asks.

"We were in this plane, and the drones were following and suddenly stopped. Was that you? Did you get him?" MJ wonders, when she notices the government vehicles driving off on the other side of the bridge.

"Yeah, he's going somewhere he'll never be seen again." Peter promises as they break apart.

"Well, I came in case you needed some help." MJ admits and reaches into her pocket. "And there was this really crazy looking guy with this Asian woman on the plane. Think they work for you or something." Peter looks confused when he realizes she's referring to May and Deke. "They gave me this." She says and pulls out the necklace that was broken during the attack on the plane.

"Oh, no. MJ, I'm so sorry. I had this plan. Stupid plan. And I wrote it all down, I was gonna buy you this give it to you at the top of the-" Peter was explaining when MJ suddenly kisses him. "And you kissed me. What?" He wonders, now not knowing what to say or do.

"I don't really have much luck when it comes to getting close to people. So...I lied. I wasn't just watching you because I thought you were Spider-Man." MJ confesses and now Peter seriously doesn't know what to say. "It's a black dahlia, like..."

"The murderer." They both finish.

"Sorry it's broken." Peter apologizes.

"I actually like it better broken." MJ admits and smiles at him.

"I really like you." Peter tells her.

"I really like you, too." MJ says and the two just peck each other on the lips a few times and separate. "I should probably get back to the class."

"I'll go and...I don't know." Peter admits.

The two walk in separate directions and Peter does a quick skip and a jump as he leaves as happy as can be.

May watched everything from the waterfront and gave Coulson a report on what happened when Fury and Hill approach him after dropping Beck off with the proper authorities to lock him up.

"I'm glad you're alive. Can't stand for you to die twice." May jokes. "Glad to see the coded message worked."

"Only because I had serious doubts about Beck from the beginning." Nick tells her.

"Actually, he had zero doubts." Maria corrects him with a smug smile.

Nick looks to her before back to May. "Where's Parker?" He asks.

"He's with a girl right now." May says while pointing her thumb to the bridge.

"I need to speak with him." Nick tells her.

"He'll call you." May promises.

"He'll...?" Nick asks and looks to Maria before laughing. "Okay. Great. He better, or it's Coulson's ass. And tell him to never ghost me again." He warns her and leaves.

-

"You can't hold me in here forever! I will escape!" Beck promises as he screams at them from inside his cell in the Raft.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that, Magic Man." Mack says as Fitz closes up his cell.

"Without his tech and illusions, he has no powers, no way out. And he is being charged with destroying half of Europe, lying to federal agents, planning to assassinate said agents and assets, that being Spider-Man." Fitz lists the top of his crimes.

"Meaning he's not gonna get away with what he's done." Daisy clarifies as they leave.

-

Back in New York, everyone returns as Peter and MJ leave the airport hand in hand.

"Are you sure no one else has figured it out?" Peter asks her.

"Yeah, it's not like anybody really pays attention to you." MJ admits.

"Ouch." Peter replies to that.

"Except for me." MJ corrects herself with a small smile.

"Aw thanks." Peter says.

"Don't be late." MJ warns him as she leaves him.

"I won't." Peter promises as he leaves. "See you later."

"You guys are adorable." Ava states as she approaches her brother.

"Thanks, Ava." Peter thanks and Ava filled him in on Ned and Betty already broke up.

The two leave the airport and find Coulson waiting for them with Lola.

"Coulson." Peter calls out and Coulson runs to them and hugs them happy they're okay after everything.

"Oh, I'm so glad you're both okay." Coulson says. "Let's go."

As they walk up to Lola, Peter pulls out the glasses. "Hey, weird question; what do you guys think?" He asks them.

"A little obvious, don't you think?" Coulson wonders.

"They were Tony's, so..." Peter says.

"You'll grow into them." Ava promises as they get in Lola.

-

"I kept my identity pretty guarded for most of my life. I faced a lot of deception, lies and tricks. And I'm tired of them all. So it's time for the truth to be out there. Are you two dating?" Peter asks May and Coulson in their living room.

"Kind of." Coulson guesses.

"Not exactly." May replies.

"It's sorta summer fling." Coulson says.

"That evolves and grows."

"We don't know where it's going."

Peter now realizes he started something as they start to direct the comments to each other and not necessarily him and he looks at the time.

"I'm gonna go. Because I have a date." Peter tells them as they keep arguing and Peter takes his mask before leaving to catch up to MJ.

Earth-1

Down in the sewers, Sarge has finally found the doorway to find the Monitor.

"For so many years, I've traveled across the worlds, across the multiverse to do one thing. To kill you, and now here I stand...ready to end it." Sarge tells the doorway.

"Submit and begin your life anew." A voice says.

"Show me." Sarge tells him.

"The knowledge is within you."

Sarge sees numerals appear on the doorway and he begins to activate the doorway.

It opens and he's consumed by a blinding light.

-

Earth-616

Peter swings through New York and sends a swinging pic to MJ on his way and glides through the once Avengers tower now Baxter building to where MJ is and he swings in.

"Hey, sorry I'm late." Peter apologizes.

"It's fine." MJ assures him.

"You ready?" Peter asks her and she is. "You're gonna love this." He promises.

Later, the two are swinging in the air and MJ is screaming in fear as she's getting swung around and Peter lets go and they free fall and MJ let's out an ear piercing scream.

-

Nick and Hill were driving in Berlin and are both thinking the same thing.

"You got to tell him." Hill tells Nick.

"The kid handled it. I say it went well." Nick defends.

"You dragged Peter into what you thought was a world ending event that ended up being a madman with technology." Hill recaps everything he did recently.

"Come on, Hill, how was I supposed to know that the whole thing was fake?" Nick asks her and Hill scoffs. "It was all convincing, and he showed up talking about some world ending event right when we were told to be prepared for a world ending event. The performances, the illusion, the costume. Who puts that much effort into a scam?"

"The Mandarin." Hill reminds him. "That doesn't matter when you didn't tell him about the Fifth Dimensional being that saw him defend the multiverse wants him to help save the multiverse."

"He said not to tell him." Nick reminds her.

Suddenly, the car in front of them comes to a stop.

"Hey!" Hill shouts when the skies start to darken as Fury and Hill lean over the dashboard and see what's happening.

"Now this is an Avengers level threat." Hill comments.

"Now it's beginning." Nick agrees...and now it's too late to tell Peter.

The Crisis is here.
