A/N: I apologise for any spelling mistakes I make.

3rd POV: Peter was led by black cat through the stolen hellacarrier, Peter noticed that, besides the small group of heroes (and anti heroes) that broke him out and helped him escape, there was also others on board the S.H.I.E.L.D craft. Normal people who at one point before the civil war, had ordinary lives and were just trying to get by and provide for the families and/or loved ones.

'Before things changed.' Peter thought bitterly.

"But has anything really changed, Parker?" The venom symbiote asked its host after picking up his thoughts. "Humans are such complex but also simple creatures. You believe things to have changed, but at the end of the day, nothing has. Surely you know the old saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same," right?" Tne klyntar asked.

"I know the saying venom." Peter replied as he kept looking at the people moving around as he followed the cat thief. "Not sure it applies to this war, though." He added. The wallcrawler couldn't help but notice some of the people having his spider symbol on their clothes, and there were also others wearing S.H.I.E.L.D armour that was stocked up aboard the hellacarrier with his spider symbol on the armour.

"On the contrary, I'd say it applies to the war very much." The klyntar said back. "The boundaries have shifted, new players step in, and in the midst of it all, power always finds a place to rest its head. The question is, who does the power rest with, Rodgers? Richards and Pym? Or will it be with us?"

"If I have any say about it, it won't be with Reed or Hank." Peter answered, a frown on his face.

The spider and the cat had made it to the cafeteria where the civillians that freed from the triskellion were sitting around, making idle conversation with their fellow former prisoners. Peter spotted elektra and Jessica Jones sitting on a table nearby. The 2 weren't saying anything to each other and were doing their own thing. The assasin in red was idly twirling one of her sais with a cleaning rag on the table whilst jessica was eating an apple and looking out the window to the endless sky. Not far from the duo was the punisher, a.k.a Frank castle who was sat opposite Wolverine and Moon Knight, neither were saying anything to eachother and it seemed that everyone was giving them a big bit of space, well more so Wolverine and punisher considering what their specialty is.

At a corner of the cafeteria was Janet and Carol having a private conversation away from everyone, and Peter had a good idea why they were away from everyone judging by the suspicious glances and glares they were receiving from the freed prisoners.

"Something wrong spider?" The voice of Felicia hardy asked.

"No." Peter answered. "Just looking around. I'm surprised by how many people seem to want to join Julia's side."

"It's not really Carpenter's group." Black cat said, as she and Peter left the cafeteria. "It's actually yours." She revealed.

"Mine?" Spidey asked incredulously. "Last I checked, I never tried making my own group to fight against SHR."

"You didn't need to try spider. Once you started showing the world the truth of what the SRH was planning, it was bound to spawn a movement. That movement just needed a leader, and they wanted you, the man who became perhaps a bigger threat than Captain america. Carpenter was just a fill-in until you were free." Iron cat explained.

"Great." Spidey muttered, his shoulders slightly slouched.

"You'll do fine." Felicia reassured.

The 2 then fell into comfortable silence. Eventually, the 2 made it to the bridge where Julia, still in her arachne costume, was staring out at the giant windows with her arms folded, not too far from her, Julia's daughter, Rachel was sitting at a desk playing pac man on the computer.

"I'll leave you alone with them. Come and see me some time spider, I'll be in the cafeteria." Iron cat said before she turned around and walked out of the bridge.

Once the door the door closed, the bridge fell into silence with the only sounds being made from the computer that Rachel was using.

Peter moved to stand next to Julia, who still hadn't turned to acknowledge his presence, and also stared out at the various windows.

Neither said anything to the other, and the symbiote residing in Peter Parker was also silent, wanting to see how this conversation played out.

To break the quiet, Peter decided to joke around a little and placed a hand over the left side of his face, covering his eye.

"You know, I always wondered how Fury could ever see through all these windows and various control panels." Peter said aloud, getting Rachel's attention who let out a little gasp at seeing her hero, completely missing the fact that she ran Pac Man into a wall and a ghost came up and caught the ghost eater, ending the game.

"He most likely turns." Julia answered, an upward twitch of her lips revealing a small smile.

"Sounds exhausting." Peter immediately replied as he stopped covering the left half of his face. "The guy could've got a bionic eye or something. Would've saved all the head turning he would have to do." He said, getting a snort from the woman next to him.

"Maybe he secretly liked being a pirate." Arachne suggested, earning a snort from the wallcrawler.

"Thank you very much for that lovely image." The hero replied.

"You're very welcome." The female spider replied back, a smile still on her face as she finally turned and faced her fellow spider. "It's good to see you again, Pete."

"You too, Julia." The totem replied, his mask peeling away to reveal the familiar face of Peter Parker.

Julia stared into the brown eyes of Peter before she pulled the man into a fierce hug. The nephew of May Parker stood frozen for a moment before he hesitantly wrapped his own arms around the woman, returning the embrace.

"Group hug!" The childish voice of Rachel cried out before hopping off of the chair and running to join in the hug, wrapping her little arms around her mom and uncle.

"Good to see you too, Rachel." Peter told the daughter of Julia carpenter as he wrapped his arm around her too.

"You know, if anyone was to walk in and see you 3 hugging, they'll probably think that you 3 are a family or something." Venom rumbled within his host's mind.

"Don't kill the moment." Peter advised his partner as he held the hug a little longer before he broke away with Rachel and Julia doing the same, though the daughter of arachne held both Peter's and her mom's hand. "So, we have some things to talk about." Spidey began.

"Yeah, we do." Julia agreed with a nod as she removed the mask from her face and rubbed her eyes. "You seriously bonded with venom?" She asked bluntly as she looked down at the symbol on the webslingers chest.

The symbiote in question merely morphed the spider symbol on Spiderman's chest into his signature eyes that narrowed at the woman before a mouth formed on the wallcrawler's stomach.

"Got a problem with me?" The klyntar growled.

"Plenty." Julia simply retorted, her glare not letting up.

"If you have an issue, grab a tissue." Venom spat out before he restored he retracted into himself and returned the chest area back to the spider symbol.

'That was uncomfortable to see.' Peter thought as he idly touched his stomach where the mouth was.

"How did that happen?" The future madame web asked.

"It happened at MJ and Aunt May's funeral." The killer of Tony Stark answered as he stared at the spider symbol on his chest, missing the saddened gaze of Rachel and Julia. "Venom left Eddie and, with no suitable host in sight, was gonna die at the cemetery until we ran into each other." He explained before looking into arachne's eyes. "The rest is history."

"Right." Julia muttered as she gazed into the eyes of Peter. Even though it looked like he was fine, Carpenter could see the pain behind those brown orbs, pain that peter hasn't exactly worked through entirely, and with the webslinger trying to keep up his joking persona and smile to everyone he sees and greets, she knows that he needs to stop, take time to grieve.

But with the state of the world at the moment, Peter wasn't going to get that anytime soon, not until there was a definitive winner in this civil war.

"Enough about me, though. What i want to know is what the heck you're doing?" Spiderman asked as he narrowed his eyes at arachne. "I got you and Rachel out of the SHR's clutches and handed you over to cap so that he can watch out for the both of you and instead I'm talking to you on a hellicarrier that we stole from the triskellion."

"I couldn't leave you at the hands of the registration act, Peter." Julia immediately retorted, a scowl on her face. "The thought of what they possibly planned to do to you didn't sit right with me, so I started looking for ways to break you out." Julia then went to sit on a chair at a nearby desk with Rachel sitting in her mother's lap. "I ended up running into Hardy, who was trying to find you. Since we wanted the same thing we decided to work together."

"What about the others? Jones, elektra, logan, Moon Knight, the civillians who are using my symbol, how'd they get involved in all of this?" Spidey questioned.

"The civillians were being hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D on Reed and Hank's orders. I got them out as quickly as possible, but some didn't want to hide. They wanted to fight, and after you murdered stark and exposed some truths, they wanted to follow your example, and I knew if I left them to their own devices, they would end up dead. I didn't want to run the risk, so I recruited them and kept them under control. As for the others, despite them being paid to help get you out, they all want the same thing, an ending to this stupid war. I just poached some of them from Cap's team so they could help. They'll probably return back to him, but for now, they're staying on this hellicarrier." Julia explained.

Peter paced back and forth, pinching the bridge of his nose in slight annoyance.

"I can stand logan, and the others that I can't understand is your decision to bring the civilians to this little crusade of yours. They should be somewhere where they can wait out the fallout." Peter said.

"I didn't have much choice at the time Peter, it was either recruit them or let them be and get punished. I wasn't taking the chance." Julia retorted. She could understand Peter's point, but she was resolute in the decision she made at the time.

Spidey wanted to keep talking about the choices she made, but at the same time, he didn't want to mentally drain himself with the conversation, so with a sigh, he dropped the subject for the moment.

"So what happens now?" Peter asked instead. "Because im not gonna wait on this hellacarrier. I've got things I need to do, and I can't do it here." Peter added.

"That's entirely up to you." Julia said as she stood up with Rachel doing the same. "My goal was to get you out. Now, I want the civil war over. Do you have a way to do that?" She asked.

"I have some plans." Peter answered.

"Then I'll follow your lead, despite my reservations of your....partner." Julia hesitantly said as she looked at the symbiote that peter was wearing. "The sooner this war is over, the sooner we can return to our normal lives.....or as close as to normal as they can be." She muttered at the end.

"Let's hope that the war ends very soon then." Peter said. "Anyway, I need to head back to the mess. I'm starving, and I'm eating for 2, so I better feed Venom before he whines about it." Spidey said, earning a slap from venom via a black tendril, but Peter didn't flinch. "You coming?" He asked.

"Might as well." Arachne said as she followed her fellow spider to the mess hall with her daughter skipping ahead.

As the trio was walking, Peter thought about what to do next. His original plan was to cause damage whilst in the triskellion, similar to how Kingpin did things behind a cell, but that was out the window, so now he needed to have a more hands-on approach.

One thing was sure for sure, though...

The Civil War was going to get a lot more interesting now.

A/N: and done. It's mostly a dialogue chapter, but I think it's a good way to ease my way back into this story.

A/N: Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter. Feel free to leave a review and, as always.....PEACE✌️✌️
