Family reunion
Peter stayed the night over at the DEO to see what G.W.E.N. could do while Winn looked over her software since he went crazy when he learned that artificial intelligence was now real.
Then came the conspiracy theories from said Winn.
"I'm just saying, today she's helping you fight crime. Tomorrow, she could be traveling back in time in a plot to kill Sara Conner." Winn tells Peter.
"She has been given the three laws of robotics and lives by them." Peter tells him, seeing no harm G.W.E.N. could bring if she was designed by Gwen herself specifically to keep Peter safe and help keep the world safe.
"Hey, everyone! Quick thing." The voice of Mon-El shouts through the room and they turn to see he and Kara are here. "Kara and I are dating. Yes, it's awesome. Yes, we are happy. And your jealousy is appropriate. You can carry on now. Thank you. Sorry."
"Skirt's dating Small Fry?" Peter questions while looking to Winn.
"Meh, I can kinda see why." Winn tells him.
"She could do so much better." G.W.E.N. states.
"She said it, not me." Peter agrees when a alert goes off on the computers. "G.W.E.N.?"
"Cadmus alert. They're back. A convoy coming out of one of their suspected weapon storage facilities has been spotted." G.W.E.N. informs them while showing the signal on the monitors.
"I'll get my suit, then go get Skirt and the LGM." Peter tells Winn before leaving.
Winn just feels like he was there for no reason considering G.W.E.N. did the work.
"Teamwork makes the dream work." Winn says to himself sarcastically.
-
The armored transport has three small cars protecting it as Kara, Peter and J'onn come flying in and Kara tries seeing through the walls.
"I can't see inside. It's laced with lead." Kara tells them.
"G.W.E.N., you got anything for me?" Peter asks his AI.
"I'm getting a heartbeat and a body temperature." G.W.E.N. tells him and that means they're transporting a prisoner.
The men inside start shooting at the three of them like it's supposed to do anything.
"Hang on a second. I wanna see if these work." Peter says while opening his palm so G.W.E.N. places three small devices that look like small balls in his palm before throwing them and they all land on the vehicles hoods, shutting the engines down, leaving the transport.
"That was impressive." J'onn tells Peter as Kara flies down to deal with the truck.
She flies down and removes the transport while Peter dealt with the driver.
Kara opens the back and sees the last person she would ever expect to see again.
Jeremiah Danvers.
-
The three heroes returns to the DEO with Jeremiah and Alex was the first to greet them.
"They told me but I didn't believe it." Alex says as she runs up to her father and engulfs him in a hug along with Kara.
All the agents in the DEO start clapping for them as they lead Johnathan into the med lab where G.W.E.N. gives him a quick scan to see if he is okay,
"I don't know how long we were rotting out there in the Amazon, but...I came to at Cadmus. They saved me, so I could save Henshaw. They forced me to keep him alive, to enhance him. Physically turn him into the monster he was underneath." Jeremiah explains and looks to J'onn. "It is strange seeing you in Henshaw's skin."
"I hope I've put it to good use." J'onn says.
"Better than he ever did." Jeremiah states.
"What happened afterwards?" Peter asks.
"Yeah, you were gone for such a long time." Kara says.
"I guess I did too good a job on Henshaw, because Cadmus wanted to keep me around, help them them with outer projects. In the beginning, I tried to escape again and again. But let's just say they didn't appreciate that very much." Jeremiah tells them. "By working with them, I was helping keep you and your sister safe."
"G.W.E.N., what's his status?" Peter asks the AI.
"He seems to be fine, minus the bruises that should heal themselves over time. The damage done to his hand however, it's extensive." G.W.E.N. tells them.
"That was another punishment for trying to escape." Jeremiah explains what happened to it. "I'm so lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two."
"Actually, it was more than just luck." G.W.E.N. admits to them.
"What's that mean?" J'onn asks the ceiling.
"We had an alert that Cadmus was supposed to be moving a weapon and that can't happen unless they release a video or being caught." G.W.E.N. explains.
"We did catch them." Kara reminds her.
"Really?" Mon-El asks. "Because it seems to be like they were saying catch me, please." He states.
"No, the ceiling and your friend is right. You need to keep your guard up. Because Cadmus does have a weapon." Jeremiah tells them.
"What is it?" J'onn asks.
"A nuclear fusion bomb. They're gonna destroy Central City, and blame it on hostile aliens." Jeremiah tells their plan.
"How did they get their hands on it?" Kara asks.
"They didn't steal it. They built it. Using the weaponry that they found in the desert when Spider-Man attacked those terrorists." Jeremiah explains
They all look to Peter when he suddenly has flashbacks to that attack he reigned down and realizes some of those Decimators probably didn't explode.
"Oh, no. One of those Decimators could destroy a tank, and they're the size of a pen. If they reverse engineered how they work, and upgraded that by about a hundred, not only wound it be the size of a small wrecking ball, it would be able to destroy the city." Peter confirms and that means they're in trouble, and that it's his fault this time.
-
"So, what you're telling me is that Jeremiah Danvers, formerdeo Agent and Alex and Kara's long lost father, has returned from Cadmus custody with news that our enemy has developed a nuclear fusion explosive using Peter's tiny nuclear missiles that Gwen developed to fight Kryptonians without using Kryptonite, and that they're going to drop that on National City And just kill us?" Winn asks as they filled him in on what's happening. "Is...is this place bomb-proof?" He wonders.
"Negative." G.W.E.N. informs him from the computer speakers.
"The AI is delivering the bad news. Why am I not surprised?" Winn wonders.
"You could run a trace on the radiation signature that those missiles give off." Jeremiah offers.
"Right, Yeah well, if the bomb is armed, then yes, I might be able to pinpoint its location before it goes off." Winn says when something takes over his computer. "Hey, what's happening?"
"I'm already on it and have the search started up, Winn." G.W.E.N. tells him.
"Is this for the bad news thing? Because this is my space." Winn informs the artificial intelligence as Mon-El drags Kara off. "Pete, tell your girlfriend's Frankenstein creation to get out of my computer." He asks of Peter.
"G.W.E.N., mind staying with our system and leave his system alone." Peter asks her, calmly.
"Of course, Peter." G.W.E.N. promises and leaves the systems and into Peter's systems while Peter smiles.
"You're enjoying your toy too much." Winn tells him.
"It's not a toy, it's a artificial intelligence, and it's the last thing I actually have of Gwen left. It just reminds me of the real her so much." Peter replies.
"You do know this is like talking to a ghost, right?" Winn questions. "She's not really here."
"I know that." Peter assures him. "It's just that she cared so much about me that she created a machine to keep me safe, so I'm going to use it." He explains and heads back to the labs.
-
The next morning, Peter is still working on the tracking and working on a device that'll be able to help G.W.E.N. to hack into the bomb so she can take it down.
During that time, Mon-El and Winn are working on figuring out of Jeremiah is up to anything.
While G.W.E.N. was scanning the city, J'onn came in after giving a tour of the facility to Jeremiah with Alex.
"How's the hunt for the bomb going?" J'onn asks him.
"Nowhere. I have G.W.E.N. searching anything even remotely close to the signature and we have nothing." Peter fills him in and feels guilty.
"This isn't your fault, Peter." J'onn tells him.
"Really? Because it seems to be that way." Peter says as Jeremiah joins them a few minutes later.
"Still no ping on the fusion bomb?" Jeremiah asks.
"No, nothing." J'onn tells him.
"Is it possible they developed a way to cloak the device?" Alex wonders.
"No, they would have needed me to build it for them." Jeremiah says. "Just keep scanning. It should come online eventually." He tells them when Kara, Mon-El and Winn now approach them as Jeremiah leaves the lab.
"Jeremiah, can we talk for a minute?" Kara asks.
"Is everything okay?" Alex asks Kara.
"Um...earlier today, you accessed some highly classified files from the DEO mainframe." Kara tells Jeremiah.
"That's true. I did." Jeremiah confirms.
"Why?" Alex asks.
"I tried to use my old pass key to look at some case files. But the access codes have changed, so I did a workaround to get inside." Jeremiah explains.
"What were you looking at?" J'onn now asks.
"Case flies from the last twenty four months. I wanted to see what my daughters had been up to." Jeremiah explains to them. "The crisises you faced. The people you saved. The adventures you've been on. I've been away for so long...case histories are just a way for me to feel like I was there." He says and Peter's senses alert him something is up with Jeremiah.
"G.W.E.N., you mind?" Peter asks his AI.
"He's telling the truth, as it seems the files that were activated during the time were old case files." G.W.E.N. confirms as Alex drags her father away and looks to the two men.
"You're both unbelievable " Alex tells Mon-El and Winn. "But you, you're something else." She tells Kara angry at them all.
Not believing what he's saying, Peter aims his web shooter at Jeremiah and shoots a spider tracker onto his person so Peter can track and hear whatever he does.
"G.W.E.N., I'm gonna need you to keep an eye on Jeremiah for the time being." Peter says when everyone leaves.
"You don't believe his story either, huh?" G.W.E.N. asks him.
"You know me so well." Peter says and starts to understand what Winn was saying. He's been talking to this artificial intelligence just as much as he would talk to Gwen. He knows he needs to get out more, but it's still hurts with facing the truth she's gone.
"Alert; Cadmus located. Along with the bomb." G.W.E.N. tells him.
-
The heroes along with Alex and a handful of other agents are at the location and they break down the doors and sees an empty warehouse.
"G.W.E.N., scan the room see what you can find." Peter asks her.
"I've scanned the area, can't find anything." G.W.E.N. tells him.
"That can't be right." Kara states.
"J'onn, please advise. There's no sign of target." Alex says and they're confused.
-
At the DEO, J'onn see there's nothing when Jeremiah steps into the elevator and J'onn follows him.
"Why can't I read your mind?" J'onn asks as the doors to the elevator close. "G.W.E.N., can you stop the elevator and put us into lockdown?" He asks the intelligence.
"Something is blocking me from the system. I'm sorry, J'onn." G.W.E.N. tells him and J'onn uses his powers to get there.
Once he finds Jeremiah, he is in the server room and is doing something with it and grabs his hand to be met with metal.
"What are you?" J'onn asks.
"I'm sorry, friend. I've changed." Jeremiah says before using the hand to throw J'onn across the room.
Winn comes in to help only to be taken down. More agents come in and shoot at him revealing the robot hand Jeremiah has.
Jeremiah defeats them and places a device to the controls.
"What have you done?" J'onn asks as he stands back up.
"J'onn, please, stay down, I don't want to hurt you any more than I have to." Jeremiah tells him.
"I asked you a question. What have you done?" J'onn asks, angrily.
"What I had to." Jeremiah states.
"Mon-El was right." J'onn sees clearly now. "You are a Cadmus man."
"J'onn, please, it's not the whole story." Jeremiah tells him.
"I will not let you leave." J'onn warns him while turning into his Martian form.
"You don't have a choice." Jeremiah says before the two start to fight.
Jeremiah just keeps the fight going on long enough for the transport of information to be complete and knocks J'onn out before shooting the database, destroying it.
Luckily, G.W.E.N. was able to backup everything and learned that Jeremiah took a copy of all of the aliens living on earth.
Everyone returns to the DEO and learned about Jeremiah's arm and what's happened.
"This might be a bad time, and please don't get mad, but I might've placed a spider-tracker on Jeremiah." Peter tells them and shows that G.W.E.N. has his location.
-
That location is in the middle of the woods where Hank is waiting for him with Lillian Luthor and her head scientist.
"Jeremiah, it's been too long." Lillian tells him.
"There was a little more resistance from the DEO than I anticipated. Nothing I couldn't handle." Jeremiah says and hands the device to their scientist.
"With this, we will be rid of all of those scum from the earth." The scientist says when blasts and lasers come in and they all look to see Alex, Peter and Kara has made it.
"It's over." Peter tells them.
"Not yet. But it will be, soon. I believe you've met my head of science." Lillian says when suddenly Peter gets attacked by a tentacle and slammed into the trees.
Getting up, Peter looks to see the last person he would ever expect.
"Otto Octavius." Peter states seeing dr. Octopus while wondering how he missed that. The weapons, the devices, Metallo, they were all his and Jeremiah's.
"It's been a long time, Spider-Man." Otto tells him.
"Not long enough." Peter says as the two begin fighting in the forest.
With Kara, Hank has blown train tracks that are noting to crash a train so Supergirl flies off to stop it.
Alex sees the two heroes are occupied and runs after Hank, Lena and Jeremiah.
Peter tries using his repulsers against Otto but it's not helping.
"You can't stop us from accomplishing our goals." Otto warns him.
"It doesn't mean that I'm going to stop anytime soon." Peter warns him and shoots a web at his mechanical hands and goes in to punch him when one of the hands break free and sends Peter through the forest and Otto uses his hands to drop several trees on him.
"Good riddance." Otto says and turns his hands into a sphere and gets ready to kill Peter when Kara finishes with the train and smashed Otto away and sees she has a choice to help Peter, or stop Otto.
That decision is mute when he looks and sees he disappeared somehow but then helps Peter get back to the DEO.
-
Kara brings Peter back to the DEO so he can get checked up on and apart from some scratches and head trauma he's going to be fine in time.
"So that was Otto Octavius?" Kara asks Peter.
"My greatest enemy. I thought I was rid of him when the government finally got him...but it seems they just handed him over to Cadmus where he's going to be even stronger, and more determined to get rid of me." Peter tells her.
"How many times have you fought this guy?" Kara wonders.
"G.W.E.N.?" Peter asks, since he even doesn't know.
"Approximately, fifty two times in the stand of five years." G.W.E.N. tells him.
"He's a thorn that won't leave me alone." Peter states. "But we can't focus on that. If Cadmus has a list of every alien that lives here, they will all be in trouble. Especially with whatever Otto has planned."
