Peter quickly gets back up off of the floor and faces Superman.

"Let me guess, you used Kryptonite to mess with him?" Peter guesses as he uses a repulser to hold Clark back.

"I once told you my planet was riddled with the corpse of yours. But not only green Kryptonite rained down from the skies. There are so many more ways to harm your kind than to simply weaken you. Silver Kryptonite. Your friend is so much like you. Reckless, stupid. Barreling into danger, I couldn't have set a better trap if I tried." Rhea states to him and just sits on her throne to watch the fight. "He doesn't see you, by the way. He sees his worst enemy."

"You should have stayed away, Zod." Clark tells Peter.

"You kidding me?" Peter asks when Clark tries lasering hims with heat vision and Peter activates his shield to block it.

"Clark, I know you're in there." Peter says and knows he needs to get through to him. "Okay, Kryptonite. It's messing with his mind, making him see things. So he's being controlled. His mind is being messed with...Mind controlled! I know what to do." He tells himself while coming up with a plan when Clark slams into him and the two from out of the ship.

The two fall and crash into the streets as they continue to fight into the air.

Peter shoots a repulser blast to push Clark back when he flies through it and punches Peter into the water.

Peter gets back up and quickly retracts his mask and waits for Clark to get down and then when he saw the opportunity, he uses his robotic arms to hold Clark back and then head butted the man of steel, allowing his mind-power to flow through Clark and stopping the Silver Kryptonite's control over his mind and Clark drops into the water.

"Ah-ha!...ow." Peter cheers before feeling the strength of hitting him head on and he drops to his knees and his mask reforms as he drops into the water.

Kara and Mon-El made it back from the Fortress of Solitude and sees the fight that just went down and what Peter did to stop him.

-

Peter later wakes back up and sees he's in the Fortress himself with Kara.

"Hey, you're okay." Kara assures him.

"Ow. What happened?" Peter asks as he feels like his scull was cracked open.

"Well, you head butted Clark and passed out, so I flew you and everyone here." Kara explains to him as Peter tries standing up.

"My head feels like it is going to explode now. Thanks for that image, Winn." Peter mumbles, remembering what Winn said as he struggles to stand up as Clark wakes up.

"Kara? Peter?" Clark asks, seeing the two of them.

Kara runs up and hugs him happy that Peter was able to help him.

"What happened?" Clark asks them as Peter explains everything to him. "The whole time I thought I was fighting Zod. But it didn't weaken me at all. I was at full strength and you were able to beat me, Peter."

"Well, my suit and gadgets kinda helped me. Also, all I really did was free you from mind control." Peter admits,

"Well, I'm glad you're both okay." Kara tells them. "But we need to come up with a plan to defeat Rhea or she's just going to keep coming after us."

"The positron cannon was the only weapon that we have that could penetrate their shields." Peter tells her.

"No, we don't have a weapon powerful enough. But I might have something we can use against them. Information." Clark says as he lead them to the computers. "I feel like there was something in the archives about the early war with Daxam."

He pulls up the information and it's all Kryptonian writing.

"You know, this really would be a lot easier with Kelex." Clark tells them.

"Sorry, I hit him with a powerful EMP." Peter apologizes.

"No, no. It's fine. Just...you owe me a new robot." Clark replies as he finds the information.

"Dakkam Ur? I've never heard of that." Kara says.

"It's old, but it might work." Clark says and turns to Peter, "but it requires you."

"I already hate this plan." Peter complains.

-

The three heroes fly back to the DEO where they're greeted by Winn, J'onn and Mon-El.

"What's happening here?" Peter asks them.

"Well, we cleared all the Daxamite soldiers from the building thanks to G.W.E.N." J'onn tells him.

"We might've found a way to get rid of the Daxamites in the archives of the Fortress of Solitude." Kara informs him.

"And what's that?" Alex asks.

"Dakkam Ur." Kara answers when the alarms start going up.

"The weapons on the Daxamite ship are charging up." G.W.E.N. alerts them.

"G.W.E.N., get me a call to Rhea." Peter tells his artificial intelligence and she does just that. "Queen Rhea of Daxam. I, Spider-Man, guardian of planet Earth, invoke the sacred rite of Dakkam Ur. To meet with you in royal combat. A battle to figure out who's the bigger royal pain." He tells the psycho queen and waits for her response.

"Dakkam Ur." Rhea responds. "I accept your challenge, Spider-Man. We duel in four hours." She tells him. "Daxam assures you it will be your last. And as you fall, so does the last Son of Ren." She then shuts down as abruptly as she answered.

"What just happened?" Winn asks.

"They're shutting down their weaponry." G.W.E.N. informs them.

"What did you just do?" Alex asks Peter.

"He's going to end this." Clark answers.

"You just invoked a trial by combat created by barbarians. It's been around since we crawled out of the caves on Daxam with rocks and sticks." Mon-El informs Peter.

"Yeah, except I have advanced weaponry and powers. Not sticks and stones." Peter replies to him. "And if I win, they leave and we go back to normal."

"And what if she does?" Alex asks him. "We have to stand by and watch her walk this planet and trample everyone."

"I just have to beat her in a fight. And it has to be me according to Clark because it's has to be a royal tradition." Peter tells the two of them. "Look, I'll be fighting their leader and you guys just need to keep the city safe." He states while he gets to training.

"It's being touted as the intergalactic fight of the century. As Spider-Man and Queen Rhea face off in a trial by combat for the very fate of our world." The news goes off about the fight they got word of.

"Woof. No pressure." Winn says.

"We need to contain this." J'onn informs them. "We don't want an audience of innocent civilians around when these two fight." He says and Kara knows she needs to talk to Cat about that.

-

Later they get a message from Lena to meet the supers and Spider-Man.

"Of course, the three of you would make an entrance." Lillian says as they make it to Lena's office.

"Unfortunately, this is her on her best behavior." Lena apologizes.

"So what did you want?" Kara asks.

"My daughter has a way to save us." Lillian tells her as they follow her inside.

"It's a device that my brother invented to keep humans safe while radiating the atmosphere with Kryptonite. It would've made the planet uninhabitable for the two Supers." Lena explains and holds a small box.

"Well, lucky my cousin put him in jail before he could make it work." Kara adds.

"And lucky for you, I found it." Lillian states.

"I've been studying it. And I think I can convert it to irradiate the atmosphere with lead, rather than Kryptonite." Lena tells them the plan. "Just a trace amount, harmless to humans."

"But the atmosphere would become toxic to Daxamites. The aliens would be forced to leave or stay and die." Lillian says and that would include Mon-El.

"Mon-El would have to leave earth." Peter breaks to Kara as even she understands that.

"Start working." Kara tells them and they leave.

They filled in the team about the device and Peter promises that they won't need to use it as he is going to beat her.

J'onn asks Winn to assist the Luthor's to get the job done faster.

"When you get there, I want to be there with you. In case she tries anything." Kara tells Peter.

"Okay, but you can't interfere with the fight with Rhea." Peter warns her and goes off to train.

-

As the time came, Peter and Kara make it to the building rooftop and wait for Rhea.

"You know, you didn't have to do this." Kara tells Peter.

"Well, the alternative would be watch my city and planet burn." Peter informs her.

"I meant because of the device, you didn't have to risk your life. Thank you for doing it anyway." Kara explains and thanks him.

"Small Fry makes you happy. I know how how it feels to have that taken from you. And if I can stop it from happening, I'll do whatever I can to stop it." Peter promises and thinks about Gwen. "If this doesn't work out the way we wanted it to, I wanna say thanks. For being my friend, Skirt."

"Pleasure was all mine. Now make sure it works out the way we want it to." Kara tells him as Rhea appears with a guard.

"I see you brought some moral support." Rhea says looking to Kara.

"I see you did the same thing." Peter replies, looking to her man.

"So, once you are disposed of, I have your word that your forces will lay down arms? That the city, the nation, and the planet will be surrendered?" Rhea asks.

"As long as you pry it from my cold dead fingers." Peter promises her. "And when I defeat you, your invasion ends. You leave and never return."

Kara and her guard step back as Rhea and Peter get prepared to fight each other.

"For the Earth." Rhea says.

"For the Earth." Peter replies as she races at Peter and he activates his thrusters and flies into her and punches her, sending Rhea flying and he webs her torso to pull her back and kicks her across the rooftop.

Rhea retaliates as Peter goes to hit her with one of his arms, she grabs it and throws him into a fusion box.

Peter quickly gets back up and roundhouses her, dropping Rhea.

Just then, Peter's senses go off and he looks to see the mothership and the others are destroying the city.

"Skirt, get Small Fry, Boss, and Big Man and take down those drones. I'll be fine." Peter tells her and Kara flies off to take them down with Mon-El, Martian Manhunter, and Superman.

The two still continue the fight on the rooftop as explosions and screams are heard around them.

"You're getting tired." Peter was able to see after doing a scan on her health.

"Finish me, then. Hit me." Rhea dares him. "Consider or a gift."

Peter goes in and does exactly that and does a backflip kick to her chin and as she falls, he spins and kicks her in the back sending her tumbling.

"You ready to surrender?" Peter asks her.

"Hardly." Rhea says and turns to show that she's bleeding...Kryptonite? "Because of your people, Kryptonite poisoned my entire planet. I've carried it across galaxies. It's part of me now." She tells him while waiting for the kryptonite to take affect as Peter stands there confused.

"I already told you, I'm half kryptonian. The other half isn't affected by kryptonite." Peter reminds her as he runs in, floats off the ground and punches Rhea in the face again, making her bleed more kryptonite.

Rhea grabs Peter by the leg and breaks the roof, sending them both down. As they hit a solid floor, Rhea punches Peter through some columns and walls and his suit is starting to reboot. Rhea walks up and flies him through the roof and slams him into it.

Peter quickly gets back up and the two start swinging lazily as they're both getting tired.

"It won't stop here." Rhea promises Peter as she tries to punch him and Peter dodges it thanks to his senses. "There's Star City and Metropolis. I will destroy city after city until your whole world is gone." She promises as she gets a hit in and Peter drops.

Peter breathes heavily as he finds it in himself to stand up. Knowing if he failed, earth falls and it's on him. "There's one thing you don't seem to understand...this is my world. And I will protect it until my last breath!" He states as his system fully reboots and he sends a large repulser blast at her, sending her tumbling into an air conditioning unit.

"It doesn't matter if I live or die. We'll keep coming." Rhea promises as the warships start aiming at everything and everywhere and Kara flies up to him.

"Supergirl, Spider-Man, they've locked onto every school, hospital, and municipal building in the city. They're going to destroy everything." Alex tells them.

Peter retracts his mask, revealing how beaten his face is and looks to Kara who knows what she needs to do and she pulls out the remote to release the lead into the atmosphere.

"I'm sorry." Peter apologizes as Kara pushes the button and the lead gets released into the atmosphere and the Daxamites immediately begin to leave.

Rhea starts to turn to stone and then dusted away.

Mon-El joins the two of them and starts coughing and they know he can't stay on earth.

-

Kara brought the pod that Mon-El first arrived in and used it to send him wherever he goes so he can be safe.

That night, the city has already started cleaning up the destruction the invaders left behind and they're all back at the DEO a Clark left back to Metropolis.

Peter is finally ready to do what he needs to do and starts removing G.W.E.N. from the systems when a hologram of Gwen appeared.

"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." Gwen, the real Gwen, tells him and Peter shows a sad smile at the hologram.

"I love you too, Gwen." Peter says and that was all it needed to hear before the whole AI returned to the hard drive.

He takes the drive and looks to see Kara on the balcony and Peter joins her.

"I'd ask you you're doing, but I have a feeling I know." Peter tells her and Kara just looks out into the city. "I couldn't have done what you did, Kara." He admits.

"You don't have to try and make me feel better, Peter." Kara assures him.

"I know, but I'm your friend. I want to make you feel better. You once said when I lost Gwen I didn't need to go through it alone and I pushed you away. It didn't make me feel better. What did was reminding myself that I have all of you by my side." Peter tells her and pulls her into a hug as their shoulders touch and Kara leans her head on Peter for comfort that he gives her.

Kara looks at his hand and sees its G.W.E.N. "You actually going through with it?" She asks him.

"Yeah, I am." Peter promises to convince himself. "But...I'm afraid I don't have the strength to do it alone."

"What if I was there with you?" Kara asks him and Peter closes his eyes as tears flow down them and he would appreciate that.

-

Peter and Kara fly out and are in casual clothes as Peter retracts his suit as the next morning they make it to a beach cliffside.

"What's so special about this place?" Kara asks Peter as he pulls out the flash drive with G.W.E.N.

"In another life, this is where me and Gwen chose to be married." Peter explains as the two of them walk all the way up to the cliffside as to a few steps closer, they'd fall off the edge. "We were going to have rows of chairs, everyone close to us would be here. Alex, you, J'onn, Gwen's family, everyone. But that life was taken from us...but it's time I got a new life. Someone new to chase after. To fight for."

"Gwen was an amazing person. Funny, smart, and was constantly shy that it was sweet. I see why you loved her." Kara comments.

"Thanks." Peter says as he just pulls the drive closer and gives the piece of technology a small kiss as if he was saying goodbye to Gwen for real before closing his eyes and Kara holds his hand to give him strength.

Peter then pulls his hand back and throws the drive just as far as he could as the two of them watch it fly and crash into the water, lost forever in the vastness of the ocean.

The two of them just stand there conforming the other as they're both people with broken hearts. But if they lean on each other, the heartbreak can make them stronger.

Because they are stronger together.
