Spider-Arrow
Alternative Peter's POV;
My name is Peter Parker. I was bit by a radioactive spider and spentthe next five years in hell, when I returned home with only one goal; to save my city.
But now, I fight the war of crime on two fronts. By day, I lead Star City as its mayor, but by night, I am someone else.
I am something else.
I am.
The one.
The only..
Spider-Man.

Right now, Peter is fighting off a new gang of mercenaries who plan on blowing the city while in his Spider outfit.
It's a complete dark suit, with a hood and mask that covers his entire face except for his eyes. The suit is made from bulletproof fabric so he doesn't need to deal with fixing or sewing it back up after fighting crime.
(Think of Clint's Ronan outfit in Endgame but with a few changes)
It comes with several choices of weapons, one being his bow and arrows, others being two swords and his web shooters that he just uses to either travel around the city or to bring to him from a distance.
Peter does a quick flip and a kick to take down his last opponent as he finds the bomb.
"Okay, I found the bomb." Peter tells Felicity Smoak, his tech-girl.
"No, no, no. That's not a bomb. That's...1, 2, 3...4 bombs." Felicity informs him as backup has arrived and Peter quickly shoots a tech arrow at the bomb so Felicity can do her thing and goes to fighting off the criminals.
Ever since he first put on this outfit, he made a promise to protect his city, at any costs.
Sometimes that means going over the line, but he prefers it when he doesn't need to.
"Okay, I'm in the brains. It's gonna take a while to disarm." Felicity tells him. "Do you think you can keep Machin's men busy?"
"I don't think that'll be a problem." Peter informs her while he does a roundhouse and trips Machin and shoots a web at his hands, immobilizing him.
"Does this mean you're not gonna kill me?" Machin asks. "What does a guy have to go to get a little love? I only tried blowing up the city. I mean, half of it." He informs Peter when he just knocks him out.
"I hate talkers." Peter states. "Tell the SCPD I left a present for them." He tells Felicity when his senses go off and he sees the recent vigilante at the bombs. Wild Dog. He recently appeared sincerely out of nowhere and now thinks he can deal with people Peter spent five years preparing for.
"Get away from that." Peter warns him.
"I'm disarming it." Wild Dog informs him but Peter uses his super strength and moves him out of the way.
"It's being handled." Peter tells him. "Overwatch?" He asks Felicity, Overwatch being her codename she asked for.
"Yeah. Oh, man. That things just a really ugly piece of modern art now." Felicity says and shuts down the bombs. "So does this mean you're gonna make a new friend?" Felicity asks Peter.
That's not how Peter would describe threatening Wild Dog for the bazillionth time. Because that's exactly what he's doing once again.
"I thought I told you to stay off the streets." Peter reminds him.
"It's my city, too." Wild Dog informs him.
"You want to help? Then make a donation to the police department." Peter tells him. "And keep that elevated." He says before walking off.
"Keep what elevated?" Wild Dog asks before Peter takes out one of his less deadly arrows and turns to shoot him in the leg.
"I don't want to see you out here again!" Peter tells him and walks away before making it outside and starts swinging off.

At the city hall, where Peter is supposed to be, his sister is covering for him.
Maggie Parker, who Peter told her about him being the vigilante everyone starts calling Spider-Man.
Truth be told, everyone has a different name for him that all have to do with his choice of weapons. Arrow, the Black Widow, Vigilante, Spider-Man. The list goes on for some time, but mostly people just refer to him as Spider-Man.
"The mayor will be making his official statement on the anti-crime initiative at the ceremony honoring the Black Canary, but-" Maggie was explaining when Peter finally arrived.
"But he can say a few words now." Peter tells them. "The A.C.I. is an important step towards lowering crime in the city, but I'm not going to consider it without some major reform."
"What type of reforms?" One of the reporters ask him.
"To start, an investigation into allegations of widespread corruption within the police department." Peter tells them and Maggie makes her way up to her brother.
"Okay, mayor Parker will ebalorage on all comments at the ceremony honoring the Black Canary. Thank you all very much." Maggie tells them when Peter's senses go off for some bizarre reason and he looks to see some old man in the crowd.
"You realize you just accused the police department for being corrupt at the police department gala?" Maggie informs her brother and Peter snaps his attention away from the man and starts walking with his sister.
What he doesn't know, that man was Norman Osborn from another reality who was testing if this Peter Parker was in fact Spider-Man. And the fact he turned to look at him for no reason proved he has Spider senses, and he is ready to collect another spider's DNA.
"I answered a question." Peter tells her.
"And you also put blame on the police department instead of taking responsibility for the city's crime." Maggie states.
"You know I'm taking responsibility." Peter says.
"Yes, as the other guy, but as the mayor, it looks like you're sleep walking around. Showing up late once again is not exactly helping that perception."
"Being the mayor gives me access to actionable intel as the other guy. It's a means to an end." Peter explains to her.
"It didn't start off like that, Pete. You wanted to become and then became the mayor to actually be mayor." Maggie reminds him.
"And then reality set in. Even if we weren't dealing with a corrupt police department, and we are, or an electorate that thinks I got all my political knowledge by binge watching The West Wing, I still wouldn't be able to focus in being mayor, because I'm flying solo as the other guy." Peter explains to his caring sister.
"Nice try." Maggie tells him and Peter sees he failed to convincing her. "Talk to the controller about tax initiatives and councilman Garcia about sanitation. I also put the applications for deputy mayor on your desk. I'm going to go drink." She says before walking off.

As for the younger Peter Parker, he's swinging around the city, trying to figure out where to find his doppelgänger before Goblin gets to him.
"Okay, focus. Goblin isn't going to stop, so I need to figure out where I am." Peter says when his senses go off and he turns to see someone heading inside what looks to be an abandoned building.
He was just gonna ignore it, but his senses are telling him to go there. So he decides to check it out.
That building on the outside is in fact a abandoned office space, but it also leads to the Spider-Cave.
Peter makes it inside and sees Felicity and Curtis are still here.
"What are you two doing here? It's late." Peter tells the two of them.
"That's what I told her, but she's been complaining that the secondary processor keeps overclocking the GPU cache." Curtis explains to Peter.
"It's nice to have someone down here other than Felicity who speaks science." Peter admits.
"Well, I'm strictly repair and maintenance. You guys are the vigilantes." Curtis assures the two of them.
"Yeah, I mean, it's starting to become an awful big club." Felicity says and holds a file up for Peter.
"What's this?" Peter asks.
"A little dossier on Wild Dog." Felicity tells him.
Peter just looks at it and then back at them. "And why do I need a dossier on him?" He asks.
"I was thinking, instead of putting an arrow in him, or constantly webbing him and using tons of that web fluid that isn't exactly cheap or easy to make, you might consider bringing him into our group." Felicity tells him.
"He shot him?" Curtis asks Felicity and looks to Peter. "You shot him?"
"Okay, I know it's not the most enticing of recruitment pitch plans, but there are plenty of candidates willing to compensate for our ineffectual-slash-corrupt police department." Felicity says and points to her monitors. "Evelyn Sharp. Mr ski goggles. Still workshopping his codename."
"I'm not..." Peter was going to say when his senses go off and he looks to the elevator and pulls out his bow and an arrow.
"What's he doing?" Curtis asks.
"I think his Spidey senses are tingling." Felicity explains to him.
"How many times do I have to ask you to stop calling it that?" Peter asks her.
"Join the club." A childish voice says and they look to see a kid wearing a red and blue Spider-Man outfit in their elevator. "I just call it my sixth sense. By the way, you've gotta get better security. It took me less than a minute to get in here." Peter tells his older self while raising his hands in seeing he had a a arrow pointed at him.
"Who's the kid?" Curtis asks.
"Hey! I'm fifteen." Peter informs him. "Look, this is gonna be hard for you to understand...god, I'm getting tired of repeating myself. This is like the dozenth time I'm saying this. But my name is Peter Parker, and I'm you from a parallel universe. In that universe, I'm Spider-Man." He tries explaining to them.
"You're from the multiverse?" Curtis asks, shocked.
"Take a blood sample if you'd like. I'll be a one hundred percent match to my older friend here." Peter tells them when both of their senses go off and older Peter lowers his weapon.
"You're like me?" Peter asks his younger self.
"Yeah. And I'm here to help you." Peter tells them.
"With what?" Felicity asks him.
"There's an enemy of mine from my reality, and he has been hunting Spider-Men across every reality. I've been to four different worlds, each of them had their own version of Spider-Man, sometimes even a Spider-Woman. His name is Norman Osborn, but he goes by the Green Goblin." Peter tries his best to explain to them. "He plans on using their DNA to create his own army of super spider soldiers he can use to conquer my world."
"Is he an actual Goblin or...?" Curtis asks him.
"He's a maniac with the mind of a genius. He uses a weaponized glider equipped with machine guns, missiles, and electric tasers. And that's only what I know of. Norman himself has taken a prototype super serum that enhanced his strength to match my own and his suit gives him a boost of strength." Peter explains.
"Okay, Felicity, can you maybe come up with a way of tracking him or his glider? It's got to be sending out a signal of sorts, right?" Peter asks Felicity.
"I'll get on it, but shouldn't you be getting to the ceremony?" Felicity asks him.
"Yeah, I'm on it." Peter tells her.
"Just look out for a maniac wearing all green." Curtis yells as he enters the elevator.
"I think a guy like that is bound to stand out." Peter assures him when his younger self joins him in the elevator.
"Look, before you say anything, I can take care of myself, I've been through a lot these past few years. I need to be there if the Goblin decides to jump realities or I will be stuck in your reality forever." Peter says and his older self doesn't argue seeing he has a point.
"Just keep your distance, will ya?" Peter asks his doppelgänger.
"Don't worry, I'm known for being a ghost." He assures him.

Peter makes it to the waterfront for the Black Canary ceremony.
"Than, you all for coming. With all that ails our city, I think it's fair to ask why we would spend time and money to honor anyone, why we would commission a statue and have a ceremony to unveil it. Surly, those resources could have been put to better ends, but I for one, think there's no better end than a remember of what we are capable of when we stand together united. A remember of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our home, and a reminder that as long as we keep their spirit in our hearts, there will always be better days ahead. And as she reminds us, let us always remember her. Ladies and gentlemen, the Black Canary." Peter finishes his speech and the statue is unveiled.
The reality crossing Peter is watching the ceremony from a distance on the side of a building and sees everything is going Okay...until his senses prove him otherwise.
A rocket comes flying in and everyone runs and Peter leaps out of the way of it as it explodes.
As everyone starts to scatter, Peter was able to get changed back into his Spider-Man outfit and is ready to fight off this Goblin as he sees the demonic man.
"Now this is a true Spider-Man." Goblin states looking over this new Spider-Man's outfit and gear.
"If you attacked to draw me out, mission accomplished." Peter tells him and tries shooting an arrow at his suit but it doesn't work.
"You will be a impressive specimen for my army. And it's a nice change from my reality's child." Goblin says when younger Peter comes swinging and kicks him. "Speak of the devil." He says seeing he made it to this reality as well.
"I'm gonna follow you until we make it back to our reality and I will stop you." Peter promises.
"Confidence. A fools substitute for intelligence." Goblin informs him.
"God, this guy is annoying." Peter says before pulling out another arrow and shoots it towards Goblin.
"No!" Peter screams but sees he's too late as Goblin caught the arrow and throws it flying back at the two of them and it explodes, hitting both Spider-Men across the pier. "He has super reflexes, just like us!" He informs his doppelgänger.
"Yeah, that would have been nice to know earlier." Peter states and gets back up to see Goblin coming in and pinned him onto the wall.
"Hold still. It might pinch." Goblin tells Peter as he uses his web shooters and blinds Goblin before taking one of his swords and slices Goblin's armor.
"You are a skilled opponent." Goblin says before Peter feels a pinch on his neck and a drone flies off of his back with his blood.
Peter then takes aim at it and tries shooting it down but Goblin throws one of his blades and stops him as he got what he came for.
"I wonder what reality is next, Spider-Man." Goblin says before opening a portal over the pier and flies into it.
"That's my que to leave. Also means that's five Spider-Men I've failed." Peter tells his counterpart.
"Need me to help you stop him?" Peter asks him.
"No, if you do that, you won't be coming home." Peter says and gets ready to head to the next reality. "Oh, and take your own advice; you can't save the world alone." He offers some advice before leaping into the portal.
As soon as it closes, Peter thinks of what he said and knows he's right. He needs a new team, and this city needs more than one hero.

Peter travels through the breach oncemore and wonders how long it will take to find, convince, and save this next universe's Spider-Man.
He exits the breach, but this time he's inside a building this time and looks to see agents start aiming at him as some menacing black guy approaches him.
"Who are you?" He asks and Peter raises his hands once again when he sees someone wearing a red and blue suit, but she's definitely not Spider-Man as he sees she wears a giant S on her shirt.
But then someone comes in wearing a similar outfit to his previous doppelgänger who wore that red and gold suit. But the one seems multicolored with gold, red and blue. That's Spider-Man.
He quickly removes his mask to the Spider-Man and his retracted as if it was made out of nanotechnology.
"Who the hell are you?" He asks the traveler.
"My name is Peter Parker...and I'm here to save your life." Peter tells his doppelgänger.
