Imagine a secret.

The biggest secret you've ever kept.

The biggest secret in your life.

The one you keep from everyone except the chosen few you trust with it.

Imagine if that secret got out.

Now, Peter Parker's biggest secret is out. The world knows he's Spider-Man.

"This is a nightmare." Peter says as he paces around Brainy who's trying to figure out how they got the footage. "You know what? No, I've had better nightmares. I'm up the creek, without a paddle. I don't even have a canoe. You know what, I don't even have the gosh darn creek!"

"Do we have any idea where the Daily Bugle got that footage?" Alex asks Brainy.

"It would appear to be an anonymous source, but the footage was sent from what appears a DEO body camera." Brainy tells them.

"Someone within the DEO sent them that?" Kara asks.

"Could've been worse." Peter says, calm for a second. "Oh, no, wait. No, it couldn't!" He freaks out again.

"Is this the first time you ever been outed as Spider-Man?" Kara wonders.

"I'm a guy who keeps to himself, scrawny, nervous when need to be, nerdy, who's a brainiac. Not many people think that when they think of the brave, fearless man, who has enough muscles to open up a seafood restaurant." Peter states.

"Look, it doesn't matter. We'll find a way to sort this out." Alex promises him. "We just need to figure out who did it."

"And why." Kara adds.

"And what do I do?" Peter wonders.

"Try to stay low, don't go anywhere to do with Spider-Man. From what we got from the siblings, they were aiming for the President and settled for you but they're working for someone." Alex offers to him.

"We'll figure out a way to clear your name." Kara promises him as he leaves.

"You know the feeling you have when you think everyone's watching you?" Peter asks Morg'Ann as they both wander the streets and everyone watches them as they do so. "I use to walk down this street, no problem. One accusation online and I'm the new Where's Waldo."

"You heard Alex. They'll stop watching you when they learn you're not Spider-Man." Morg'Ann assures him. "And who's Waldo?"

"Nothing will ever be the same, Morgan. Everyone will always be watching me now." Peter breaks to her when his senses go off and someone approaches them.

"Mr. Parker? Betty Brant, of the Daily Bugle." She introduces herself.

"Really?" Peter asks without a care in the world.

"Would you like to comment on the accusations that you're Spider-Man?" Betty asks him with a recorder out in front of them.

Peter decides to stop and turns to her. "Okay. You wanna know what I have to say? I have two things I want everyone to know. First, and this is important so you better completely understand me. I know the Bugle has a reputation bending the truth, and I am not Spider-Man. Second, videos can be altered and doctored just as much as photos. Somebody could've put the face of...I don't know, Clark Kent of the Daily Planet on his body, has Clark left Metropolis recently?" He asks Morg'Ann.

"No." Morg'Ann says.

"No. Now if I was running around the city wearing an armored super spider suit all day and night for years, I'm pretty sure somebody would've noticed by now. I don't have the strength, the fighting knowledge, the building materials, the jokes, or just about anything that I would need to be Spider-Man. I'm not Spider-Man. I'm just a guy who's trying to get through the day like everyone else. Now thanks to you and your boss accusing me of being a vigilante, I'm the face to be looking for. Thank you." Peter says as he continues to walk away from her.

"Where are we going again?" Morg'Ann asks.

"To see a friend who can help us with our Spider-Ghost problem." Peter says as they make it to the alien bar and they all look up to face him. "Really? Here, too?" He asks and sees J'onn.

"Peter. I was wondering how you were doing." J'onn says as he approaches the two.

"Not so good." Peter admits, looking at the news with people starting riots about his identity. Some people believe he should be left alone, others want him hung by his web.

"Don't worry, you'll get through this. You always find a way." J'onn promises.

"Well, as much fun as it is discussing the future that seems bleak at best, I'm not here for this." Peter says and has no idea how to break this to him. "I need your help. I can't hang around the DEO, because I have a camera on me every minute. And before everything went to hell, we discovered something."

"What is it?" J'onn wonders and Morg'Ann shows J'onn the photo of the female Spider-Man. "There's another you out there?"

"No...it's an old friend." Peter says and swips it to the photo that he took of his stalker.

"You get any leads on who she is?" J'onn asks.

"That's where things get interesting." Peter says and shows Brainy's results.

"Gwen??" J'onn questions. "She's alive?"

"We don't know how, but Brainy says there's no doubt about it. She's been stalking me." Peter replies.

"You need my help to find her." J'onn guesses.

"I can't use any of my usual resources. No fighting, no gadgets, no super suit. Today, I'm Peter Parker, and Peter Parker needs help. He needs J'onn J'onzz, not Martian Manhunter." Peter promises.

"Let's go find our girl." J'onn says and the three of them leave.

-

Kara is pacing nervously around the DEO as Brainy looks over the footage to figure out who exactly it came from.

"I can sense you're upset with the current state of everything." Brainy tells Kara.

"Really?" Kara asks sarcastically.

"If it makes you feel any better, based off my calculations, this moment of crisis does not deeply impact our planet." Brainy promises.

"Brainy, this is the biggest impact in our history." Kara states and points to the footage. "His biggest secret, the one thing that a chosen few know is now out there. The world knows who he is. And that means he will have a target on his back everywhere he goes."

"Ah, that was a snark. And you snark when your blood sugar is low." Brainy comments on her tone. "I know how to help you. Pizza."

"What?" Kara asks.

"Humans seem to find calm in the consumption of food. My calculations lead me to the conclusion that pizza might be the right thing at this very moment for everyone." Brainy says and gets up and leaves.

"He's doing the best he can to find a way to help Peter." Alex tells Kara.

"I know, it's just...what can we do? The world believes that he is Spider-Man, and that's not gonna just go away." Kara states.

"What if we can make them believe it?" Alex asks.

"What are you thinking?" Kara replies.

"The next time something goes wrong, someone else wears the Spider-Man suit while Peter is out there for the world to see him." Alex states.

"We would need someone who could use his suit, has his intelligence and is able to play off as someone else." Kara reminds her and then they realize they know someone who fits all those descriptions.

-

Brainy makes it to his usual pizza place Shabid's and the owner sees him.

"My friend, what will it be today, pepperoni, pineapple?" He asks Brainy.

"I'll have a dozen large pizzas. 11 with everything and one with apples and olives." Brainy tells him as someone else comes in, the new girl at CatCo, Nia Nal, gets Brainy's attention.

"Do you make espressos?" She asks.

-

Kara flies to L-Corp and finds Lena.

"Kara, I saw the news. How you doing?" Lena asks.

"It's...hard to say nonetheless. Peter's freaking out, and with this whole Spider-Ghost thing..." Kara tells her.

"Spider-Ghost?" Lena wonders.

"Yeah, his dead fiancé, Gwen...she's alive." Kara explains.

"Gwen Stacy? I though she was killed by that Green...Goblin guy." Lena says.

"Yeah, she was. She is dead, but she's also walking around, stalking Peter." Kara says.

"Is there anyway I can help?" Lena wonders.

"Not unless you can reverse time, erase the memories of everyone on Earth, or able to prove Peter's not Spider-Man." Kara supposes.

Suddenly, Lena's assistant comes in and Kara quickly speeds out of her suit.

"What is it, Eve?" Lena asks.

"You know Kevin Oh?" Eve asks.

"Of course I know him. Chief programmer for our Image Inducers." Lena replies.

"He's dead. Found dead at his apartment complex this morning. His laptop was missing, and Cyber Security just called and said it's been used to log into the mainframe." Eve tells them.

"Well, then I have to block this hack before they can breach us." Lena says and rushes to her computers.

-

"How much do I owe you, my friend?" Brainy asks when his image inducer goes down revealing his brainiac form. "Sprock. One moment." He asks and tries reactivating it and it's not working.

-

"Someone put a Trojan horse in the system. It's trying to take down the entire Image Inducer platform." Lena warns Kara. "The first users already been compromised."

"Brainiac-5?" Kara asks.

"If I don't delete the Trojan, then every user will be exposed. Worldwide." Lena says and continues to work.

-

"What are you?" He asks Brainy.

"You know me. I've purchased pizzas from you multiple times." Brainy reminds him.

"You're a traitor." He states. "Hey, guys, there's an alien out here." He calls the others and one comes out with a metal bat.

"Violence is the most basic human emotion and should only be a last resort," Brainy says and dodges a swing from the bat, "should communication fail."

He goes in to swing again when the Nia Nal walks in front of the bat. "You need to back off. Did I stutter? I said back off."

They do and the image inducer comes back online.

"As a reporter for CatCo Worldwide Media, u am going to make sure everyone knows about the violence and cruelty I witnessed here today. You, sir, are the traitor. Now, give him his pizzas." She tells the men.

-

"I'm putting the inducers on lockdown so nobody can access them through computer. They're never getting in here." Lena peomises.

-

Brainy gets his pizzas and leaves with Nia behind him. "I thought he was my friend."

"A true friend will accept you for who you truly are." Nia tells Brainy.

"You look familiar. Do I know you?" Brainy wonders.

"I don't believe so."

"May I...get to know you?" Brainy wonders.

"I think we can make that happen."

"Well...how?" Brainy asks.

"My name's Nia Nal." She introduces herself and leaves. "If you truly want to find me, you will." She says and walks off and Brainy makes his way to the DEO.

-

Peter is walking down the street, this time wearing a hoodie so everyone stops staring at him and knows this ghost will be able to know it's him.

She's been able to find him no matter where he goes, just as long as he's alone.

"Heads up, Pete. You've got a tail." Morg'Ann warns him and Peter senses her nearby.

They're all split up, J'onn hiding amongst the people, Morg'Ann is watching from above where she can see them, but not where they can see her.

"You know the plan, Peter. Get her there.' J'onn says and Peter walks into a mostly abandoned apartment house and heads inside.

The girl follows him, wondering why she's constantly drawn to this man who was recently outed as the man she was trying to be and help. She doesn't know why she wants to help, but she feels it deep inside her she has to. She was given these great powers, and needs to use them responsibly.

She walks into the same room that Peter just did and sees nothing but darkness when a hologram activates itself and she sees...herself?

"Hey, Spider-Man. Looks like you learned what G.W.E.N. was made for. You know I like teaching you lessons and this is the one you always hated. Peter, I'll love you no matter where I am, but you have to move on. Keep living. Find someone new to love you. Someone to watch your back as you watch theirs. I love you, Peter Parker. Never doubt that."

She walks closer towards the hologram as it talks. Almost like a animal when it's checking out if its safe or not.

Confused by how this person has her face, but she doesn't know who she is. She doesn't remember this, loving Spider-Man or anything.

"Gwen." Peter calls out and she gasps as she faces him and tries backing away. "Wait, wait, don't go. Please."

She stops moving and doesn't know what to say.

J'onn was behind the shelves and searched Gwen's mind for any memories to indicate how she's alive. But all he can see is up to when Gwen herself woke up alone, scared, no memories.

But he also sees the one thought echoing throughout her mind.

Peter.

"This was a mistake." She tells Peter.

"If you really believed that, you wouldn't have been following me these past few days." Peter tells her. "I don't know how or why you're here...but I wanna know. How? I watched you die in my arms, I got your G.W.E.N. system. I thought you were dead."

"I died?" She asks him.

Peter looks confused as to how she doesn't remember everything she's been through and all their years together.

"You don't remember?" Peter asks, completely lost.

"I...I remember waking up, lost, afraid, and alone. The next thing I notice is my powers. And the only thing that's been going around my mind...you." Gwen tells him.

"That means you remember something. A part of you knows who you are, but you need help." Peter says as he takes a small step towards her.

"Why do you care?" She wonders.

"When I look into your eyes...I see the woman I loved. The kindness, the brains, warmth, love, you were always a hero. My hero. Let me help you." Peter begs to her.

She looks over her options and is wondering if she should trust him.

Maybe her senses are telling her to trust him, maybe that's why she can't stop thinking about him.

She can trust him.

-

Back at the DEO, Alex finds Brainy and the pizzas at his desk.

"So, are you going to let the staff in on all these pizzas or are you and I just going to knock them out ourselves? Because challenge accepted." Alex dares.

"Yes, help yourself. This is apples and olives. It's my favorite." Brainy tells her.

"So, Kara called and said your Image Inducer was hacked." Alex says.

"Yes. It was just for a moment. I've been trying to find the source of the glitch and it seems it was a command from the computer of a senior L-Corp programmer." Brainy says.

"She and Lena think it's another alien hater or a Graves follower is responsible." Alex says. "So Lena put up a firewall, no one can hack into the system."

Brainy gets up and walks around. "That means the only way they could access the Image Inducer now is through the mainframe at L-Corp, and based on the simulation I just created for them, there's a 99.99% chance she's on her way there now."

"Then we need to help." Alex says and Brainy walks into Peter's labs and Alex follows. "What are you doing?"

"I believe while I was gone, you and Kara had an epiphany about how we can clear Peter's name by having me dressed up as Spider-Man while everyone else can see Peter still out there on the streets." Brainy says.

Alex is surprised and not surprised he was able to put it together. "You think you can do it?"

"Of course." Brainy says as he finds the spare suit holder watch Peter keeps around for emergencies and places it on and the Iron-Spider forms around him.

-

L-Corp starts alerting Lena and Kara of something as Eve runs in.

"The buildings in lockdown." Eve warns them.

A high pitch noise goes through the building and takes down everyone but the three of them as an army of Anti-Aliens march in with someone wearing a golden mask leading them.

"We can't stay here." Kara tells Lena.

"I know. But wait." Lena says as she goes through the desk and finds something that look like earplugs. "These aren't my security alarms. Put these in. It's a sonic attack."

"They've taken out our whole security team and got control of the whole building. But how?" Eve asks.

"Mercy Graves was head of Lex's security, she designed the whole system. Must've shown them how to get past it." Lena guesses. "They're gonna go for the mainframe, but since I installed the firewall, the only way they can do it is a manual override. All we have to do is stop them from getting to the servers."

"Okay, so what's the plan?" Kara asks, knowing she can't use her powers in front of Eve.

"Safety in numbers." Lena tells her the plan and they all leave the room.

They run down the halls and several people see them and start firing on them.

Lena and Eve move out of the way and Kara catches the bullets when she couldn't see and throws them back at the people.

They run and enter Lena's elevator.

They go downward to the mainframe and the security system is activated blocking them off.

The doors behind them begin to shut and while Eve wasn't looking, Kara used her strength to stop it.

"Glitch in the system?" Eve guesses and Lena knows the truth.

"I don't know." Lena lies for her.

"Supergirl, are you there?" Alex asks and Kara pulls out her phone and pretends to answer it.

"Alex, hi. I'm here with Lena and Eve." Kara tells her.

"So you haven't been able to stop them." Alex sees. "Don't worry, Spider-Man is on his way."

"Spider-Man?" Kara asks.

"Where are you?" Alex asks.

"Lena, where are we?" Kara asks her.

"East Wing, third floor, corridor B." Lena tells her.

"Sit tight, he'll be there." Alex promises.

Kara uses her X-ray vision and sees people approaching.

"We don't have time. Go. Go!" Kara tells Lena and Eve and they get out of the doorway and Kara fake sneezes and sends them flying.

Eve gets an idea and uses her sonic blockade and closes the doors. "These doors were built with a hidden quick release. I spent a summer in high school working at a theme park. I was a bunny."

"Cool." Kara says.

"Okay, right." Lena says. "Eve, get to the control room and see if you can wrestle this building away from these people. We'll get to the servers, okay?" She tells Kara.

"Good plan." Kara agrees and the three split up.

Lena and Kara make it to the vault where Lena keeps her most secret devices.

They then hear someone and look to see Spider-Man.

"Not to fear, I have arrived." A voice that sounds like Peter exits the suit.

"Okay, at least we have some help. Wait, is that you, Peter?" Lena asks.

"Negative." Brainy's voice tells her.

"How'd you get past everyone?" Kara asks.

"I have taken them all out, except for the one I have calculated to most likely be the leader." Brainy tells them.

"Good thing you showed up when you did." Kara says. "And we just might be able to clear Peter's name."

-

Peter, Morg'Ann and J'onn brought the Gwen lookalike to a diner they frequently visit. And just like everyone else, they don't acknowledge Peter.

"What do you plan to do to help me remember who I was?" Gwen asks them.

"We don't know." Peter confesses. "According to J'onn, you don't have amnesia, memory blocks, memory losses, it's just...nothing. It's like you're a clean slate of yourself. A rebirth."

"But if that was the case, you'd have a memory of where you were born, created." J'onn adds.

Peter takes a quick look around the room and sees some people looking at him and then away as soon as he sees them.

"Hey, ignore them." Morg'Ann tells Peter. "They'll stop eventually."

"Yeah, but how long until we reach eventually?" Peter asks.

"How about now?" Gwen says and looks to the television.

They all look to the tv and it shows Spider-Man inside of L-Corp taking down the intruders.

"This footage was taken moments ago, showing Spider-Man answering an alert from L-Corp and has disarmed the intruders. Reports have shown Peter Parker, the man who was believed to be Spider-Man, was in fact spotted and nowhere near L-Corp at the time of this alert. Clearing Peter Parker's name of being Spider-Man." The news says and everyone is surprised that it worked.

"Maybe now life can get to normal." Morg'Ann says when the waitress brings over some food to Peter.

"We didn't order that." Peter tells her.

"It's on the house. Our way of apologizing, mr. Parker." She explains to him and leaves him be.

-

Kara and Peter were at their place celebrating their success while Gwen is staying with J'onn so he can help her retrieve her memories.

"So, Gwen doesn't remember anything?" Kara asks.

"From what she and J'onn said, she has no memories up until she...just came to life." Peter explains.

"That's weird, wouldn't you say?" Kara asks.

"In our life, what's weird is normal." Peter says and Kara laughs when she starts feeling funny.

"P...Peter..." Kara was trying to say when she drops to the floor and Peter catches her.

"Skirt, what's wrong?" Peter asks when he moves her' hair out of her face and sees her face is glowing green.

Kryptonite.
