World ending

Kara and Peter are spending their Saturday night the same way everyone does, chasing down bad guys who are plowing through the streets with the money they stole from the jewelry store.

"Skirt, I'm gonna fly off ahead, see if I can cut them off. You stay with them." Peter tells her the plan.

"Got it, Spider-Man." Kara says and Peter flies off just as the gang in the truck send a rocket to hurt Kara and she takes avoids it.

They send another one and it hits her.

"Yes! We got her!" One of them cheers, unknowing to them that a head of them, the Spider-Man had his robotic legs ready and catches the van, sending it flying.

Once it crashes, Peter and Kara make it to see there's only two of them.

"Wasn't they're a third guy?" Peter asks Kara.

In the alleyway, James was taking down the third guy and made quick work of him.

By the time Kara and Peter made it, they found the third guy unconscious and ready for arrest.

-

The two then return to the DEO, ready to turn it in for the night.

"Jewel thieves?" Alex asks them as she approaches them.

"Nabbed and bagged." Peter assures her.

"Thanks to the super duo." Kara says and raises her hand and Peter decides to give her a high-5 this one time before leaving to find Gwen. "But, of course, Guardian had to show up and pick up the straggler. That guy is really starting to get on my nerves."

"But he did help." Alex tells her, even though she knows exactly who Guardian is.

"Yeah, barely. We were the ones who had to dodge the surface to air missiles. All he did was slap cuffs on wrists." Kara reminds her.

"Okay, what's bothering you? And it's not Guardian." Alex states, knowing her sister better than that.

"Who says anything's bothering me?" Kara asks as they make it to the labs and see Gwen and Peter.

"You have a crinkle every time something bothers you." Alex says and Kara gets annoyed to how everyone sees she does that.

"I'm gonna get Botox for that." Kara promises. "If you can figure out to get a needle in my skin, I mean. I don't know, I'm in a funk. I feel like I'm protecting jewels and money more than people recently." She explains.

"Kara, you are a hero tonight. So, go home and celebrate." Alex tells her sister.

"June 15 it is then." Peter says and the sisters turn to them as Gwen squeals and pulls Peter into a hug and kiss.

"What just happened?" Alex asks them.

"It would seem like we have finally chosen a wedding date." Peter tells them and Kara lets out a giant gasp at the news.

"Oh my god! That's amazing." Kara says and gives Gwen a hug along with Peter who returned it. "Oh, a side note; you are getting better at interacting with others." She informs Peter.

"Ha, ha, ha. Let's all make fun of the Iron-Spider." Peter says sarcastically.

"Hey, that's my job for now on." Gwen informs him.

Peter goes in to kiss her once again when his senses go off and he looks around.

"Something's wrong." Peter says when they feel everything in the room shake a little.

-

The dimensional traveling Peter Parker was through the breach once more 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 J'onn approaches him.

"Who the hell are you?" J'onn asks and Peter raises his hands once again when he sees Kara comes flying down and Peter quickly follows.

The younger Spider-Man quickly removes his mask to their Peter and he retracted his mask as well to face the kid.

"Who the hell are you?" J'onn asks the traveler.

"My name is Peter Parker...and I'm here to save your life." Peter tells his older doppelgänger.

"Save my life from what?" Peter asks him.

"I talk a lot better when I don't have weapons pointed at me." He promises.

"J'onn, I think he's safe, lower your weapons." Peter promises.

They all start to relax and go back to their normal work.

"Okay, start explaining." J'onn tells Peter.

"I'm not from this universe, I come from a parallel universe. In that reality, I am the one and only Spider-Man. And now, I'm hunting an enemy of mine who found a way to travel through the multiverse using a device called the Siege Perilous. He's been using it to hunt down the Spider-Men from across the multiverse. This would be the sixth reality he and I have visited. He's collecting their DNA in order to return to my universe and build a Spider army to conquer the world." Peter explains the past few days he's been having to them.

"Wow, that's a lot to take in." Gwen admits.

"Well, he's gonna have some trouble with this reality's Spider-Man. He isn't known for going down easily." Kara assures Peter and snakes Peter on the back.

"Ow." Peter comments on the back pat.

"Sorry." Kara apologizes seeing she used her super strength. "What's this guy's name?" She asks Peter.

"Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin." The young hero informs her.

"..that's a very colorful name." Kara says.

"He did not get that name by a coincidence." Peter tells them. "He is willing to kill in order to get your DNA. He attacked families, innocents, anyone who can be used to draw Spider-Man out." He explains.

"We did get reports on a secondary inner dimensional rift opening up across the city." Gwen tells them.

"That must be Goblin, but he's most likely long gone." Peter tells her. "He travels to each reality, learns a bit about Spider-Man before beginning to hunt them."

"Then we just have to be prepared for him." Peter says and looks to Gwen. "Think you can make my suit Goblin proof?"

"Let's see what I can do." Gwen says and she drags him off to the labs.

"What can you tell us about Norman?" J'onn asks Peter.

"Everything." Peter promises.

-

The next day, the young Peter was surprised Goblin hasn't attacked yet. But that could mean he knows about Kara and Supergirl so he's working on a way around her.

Kara returned to work and started working on a story involving missing people constantly happening and returns to the DEO where Hank has anyone he can spare to search for Norman.

"Hey, Winn, I need you to look at the people on this flash drive." Kara tells her friend who for some reason is wearing glasses. "Can you check for links between them, their histories...why are you wearing sunglasses inside?" She asks him.

"I asked him the same thing." Peter says as he's making sure his suit is working one hundred percent efficiently. If this Goblin is as dangerous as the younger Peter says he is, this is gonna be one of his biggest challenges.

"The future is very bright." Winn tells them.

Kara just quickly snatches them off and sees he got a black eye.

It happened the other night with the third guy and while he was helping Guardian/James.

"What happened to you, man?" Peter asks seeing it.

"I got mugged." Winn lies.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kara asks him.

"I don't know, maybe because were searching for a psycho who has a weaponized glider and is hunting Spider-Man?" Winn reminds her but finds the connection fast. "Okay, so there is a connection between these people on your list. They all had blood work done a few days before disappearing."

"That's strange, you want me to help?" Peter offers.

"No, Parker, we need you to stay here until we can find out more about the Goblin and where he is." J'onn tells Peter.

"You stay here, and stay safe. I got this. I can go one day without Spider-Man." Kara promises him as she leaves.

-

Kara was working on a lead to where they might've gotten the blood work done, and she was stuck with Mon-El since he wanted to help out.

They're at a clinical research where the victims all visited and they meet the doctor.

"Well, well, hello." He greets them. "He told me two strapping young millennial had dropped by, and here you are."

"Yes, we work out a lot." Mom-El lies.

"Yeah, we just wanted to get a better idea of what you do here before jumping in." Kara says. "We look at your website and it just said you can make some quick cash."

"Well, we're running a clinical trial on a new to market supplement. We're just looking to examine the effect of the supplement in base metabolic rates. So all we need to do is some blood work, and we'll have you in and out, and off in no time." The doctor tells them.

"Actually, we can't give blood. That is...against our religion." Kara says, trying to find a best excuse.

"Well, you both look young and healthy enough. Let's give it the old college try." The doctor says and leads them into the back.

Kara looks and sees nothing but a giant device in the room.

"You stand here. And you...stand here." The doctor says and they both stand in the spots he points to and the doctor activates the portal device.

"What's that?" Mom-El asks.

"The best way I can get rid of this universes strongest hero." A villainous voice says and they turn to see a man on a weaponized glider. He was green, had sharp ears and yellow demonic eyes.

"The Goblin!" Kara shouts, knowing who it is when he sends missiles at the two of them and shoots them into the portal.

It closes, leaving Supergirl stranded on a unfamiliar world, and leaving Spider-Man for the taking.

-

Kara and Mon-El fly out of the portal and see they're on a unfamiliar world where there is a red sun. Meaning their powers don't work.

"It was a trap!" Kara says and tries to make it back in time but the portal closes, meaning they're stranded here.

"What the hell was that?" Mon-El asks Kara.

"That was a Green Goblin. Someone who is apparently hunting Spider-Man. Now, he has to deal with it alone." Kara says and knows that at least while they're here they can save the people who were taken here.

-

Back on earth, Peter's senses are calmly warning him something has happened to his partner.

"You okay, Peter?" J'onn asks him.

Peter ignores him and tries contacting Kara.

"Skirt, you there?" Peter says I to the com link and gets no response. "Skirt, do you copy?" He gets nothing back and knows something is wrong.

"Sir, We've got a fire on third and main." One of the agent's say and pull up a large fire in an apartment building.

"Skirt's in trouble, somebody try and find her. I'll take care of the fire." Peter tells his friends and doppelgänger before he starts leaving.

"Hey, what about the Goblin?" Winn asks him.

"If he shows up, I can take him. These people need help." Peter says before he takes off flying.

"Mine can't do that." Peter states looking over his Stark suit and wonders why he never got that.

-

The fire department are doing all they can to evacuate everyone while wondering where Supergirl is as they're evacuating everyone, but a mother tries getting through as her child is still in there.

Look! Up there!" Someone shouts and Peter comes flying in as fast as he can and sees the fire.

"Save my baby, please!" He hears the mother shout from the ground.

"Gwen, baby, where is it?" Peter calls in.

"Sensors indicating a steady pulse on the seventh floor. Be careful, you can stand the heat, but a child can't." Gwen warns him.

"I'm on it." Peter says and flies in and uses his scanners to see through the flames, but the heat damages them.

Seeing the roof is about to collapse, he quickly decides to use his repulses to break through the walls and finds the child in his crib and grabs it and sees he has seconds before the building collapses and he runs and leaps out of the window at the last second.

As he leaps, he activates his feet repulses to lower him and the child safely to the ground. Once on the ground, he makes his way to the mother and hands her the child.

"It's okay, your baby's fine." Peter promises and she engulfs her child with tears of joy that he's okay.

"God bless you, Spider-Man." She tells him.

"Happy to help." Peter says when they hear a scream coming from the building.

"Somebody's still up there." A pedestrian says.

Peter looks back to the building and his scanners pick someone is up on the third floor.

Peter shoots a web and pulls him back up and inside the burning building.

"Where are you?" Peter calls out, trying to see through the flames, but his scanners don't want to work with him in the heat. "Gwen, when I get back, you gotta work on the heating." He tells her.

"Yeah, I'll make a note of it." Gwen promises.

Peter uses his metallic arms to move the trash and everything out of the way. As he walks through, he finds the screaming civilians and hears her crying.

"I'm gonna get you out of here!" Peter promises and makes his way towards her.

As soon as he reaches her, his senses go off for some strange reason when suddenly the old lady turns around and reveals to be the Green Goblin before he punches Peter, sending him flying.

"All you Spider-Men are pathetically predictable, like a moth to the flame." Goblin informs Peter.

"Oh, so you're this Gobbie freak I've been warned about." Peter jokes and looks over this guy. "You don't look like much."

Goblin puts an arm behind his back and gets several goblin blades ready for release.

"So you met the menacing pain that's been following me throughout the multiverse, have you?" Goblin asks.

"Yeah, and he said if I find you, take you out." Peter says, getting ready to fight.

"Sorry, all I need is your blood." Goblin says and sends his blades his way.

Peter just raises a brow to him (even though he can't see through the mask) and the blades just bounce off his suit. But one hits him in the back and disables his metallic arms.

When Peter turns to try and take it out, Goblin came up and took the opportunity to punch Peter in the face.

Peter retaliates and does a backflip, kicking Goblin in the process and sending him into the air and Peter kicks him into the building further when the floor gives away and he falls through it.

Goblin gets up and sees that Spider-Man has escaped, but it's a good thing he had a backup plan.

-

Peter flies back to the DEO while his suit is severely damaged and his repulses are barely functioning after the beating they and he took.

"What did I say about being careful?" Gwen asks him as he limps inside.

"I'm okay, I'm fine." Peter assures his fiancée.

"The data I collect from your suit tells me otherwise." Gwen tells him while helping him to a chair.

"Just get this blade out of my back." Peter asks of them and his young doppelgänger gets the job done.

"Goblin blades. Sharp and deadly." Peter informs his older self before placing the device on the table.

"Sweet." Winn says while picking up the device, with that everyone looks to him annoyed. "I mean, awful."

"That Goblin knew what he was doing." Peter states.

"Yeah, I think he's getting better at spider hunting. He uses your humanity against you, knew Spider-Man couldn't resist going in to save the day." Peter explains to him.

"But was that his whole plan?" J'onn questions. "He seems to be the type of guy to have backup plans for his backup plans."

"He does that quite a lot on my world. He once kidnapped my uncle so that he could go after my girlfriend since he knew I'd be focused on saving him." Peter says, remembering that day all over again.

While they were thinking, both Spider-Man's senses go off and they turn to the blade that Peter took out as it starts bleeping.

"Is that supposed to be beeping?" Winn asks them as it becomes more rampant.

"Everyone, move!" J'onn shouts and they all duck for cover as the device did in fact detonate, sending everything and everyone flying.

While they were down, Goblin flies in on his glider through the flames while laughing maniacally.

He likes to do that a lot.

Seeing the Spider-Man he's after has his suit on to protect him, he sees a better way of getting what he wants.

Later on, everyone starts waking back up.

"Is everyone okay?" Alex asks, as she wasn't there when the bomb went off as she was searching for Kara.

"I'm good." Winn promises as he gets himself free of some dust he was covered in.

"Thank god I was still wearing the suit." Peter says and helps his doppelgänger back up.

"Where's Gwen?" J'onn asks and they can't find her.

"Oh no..." they all say knowing Goblin didn't leave empty handed.

That, and Goblin left them a note on their wall.

Your blood, or the girl dies

Meet me on the bridge

-

Gwen starts to slowly wake up and sees she somehow made it to the National City bridge.

As she starts looking for a way down, she watches as the Goblin comes flying and sees a tram car and he comes with an idea for when both Spider-Men appear.

And they will.

A while later, wouldn't you know it, both of the Spider-Men come in and see Goblin is holding Gwen over a ledge in one hand and the other one holds a cable connected to a team filled with children.

"I knew you would come to your senses, Spider-Man." Goblin mocks as he sees Peter is holding a vial that's filled with his blood. "Hand over the blood, of they die."

"Put her down, and you can have my blood." Peter counteroffers.

"You see, Parker, this is why only fools choose to become heroes." Goblin tells his Peter. "Because now I'm getting a real case of déjà vu."

"Just put them down!" Peter tells him, getting sick of Norman.

"How about on the count of three?" Goblin says. "When I say three, you better work fast, and you toss the blood." He explains and Gwen is screaming as Goblin holds her over the ledge.

"1...2...3!" Goblin says and drops Gwen and the car.

Both Spider-Men work fast and both race off and Peter throws the blood away. Goblin races after it and Peter was able to make it just in time to save Gwen and grabs her hand.

"Oh, thank Good." Gwen says relieved that she's safe.

"You're staying behind your desk, never leaving it again." Peter tells her.

"No arguments here." Gwen agrees, holding on for dear life.

Goblin was just about to grab the vial of blood when a web yoinks it away and he turns to see a third Spider-Man.

"What?!" Goblin screeches, completely confused.

"Fun fact about this world, Norman. Martian's are real." Peter informs him.

The young Peter who was running after the car transforms into J'onn and he leaps down and stops the car.

"You insignificant pest!" Goblin screams at Peter.

"Make up your mind. Am I an arachnid, an insect or a pest?" Peter questionably quips. "Because I can only be categorized as so much." He says and sees his chance to grab the Siege Perilous so Goblin can't escape.

Peter turns and sees that J'onn has the car and is bringing it down safely when suddenly Goblin comes back and hits Peter, sending him flying and grabbing the blood and Siege Perilous back.

Peter helps Gwen get back up on her feet and she engulfed Peter into a hug.

"Oh-my-god, I-love-you-so-much. I-thought-I-was-gonna-die. I'm-so-glad-you-got-here-when-you-did." Gwen was saying at a million miles per hour.

"Gwen, calm down. You're safe." Peter promises her.

Gwen smiles at him, happy to have someone like him in her life when she sees Goblin is coming back for another go.

"Watch out!" Gwen says and pushes Peter out of the way when Goblin comes charging in and ended up banging his glider on Gwen's head, rendering her unconscious and she slips off the bridge.

"No!" Peter shouts and Gwen falls off of the ledge and Peter runs to catch her as she falls and shoots a web at her chest, seeing her too far for his hand to reach her. While he does that, the young Peter comes flying in and grabs onto Goblin.

"You will never win, admit it!" Goblin tells Peter as he wraps his legs around Goblin's chest and starts beating him from behind.

"No, because I'm taking that!" Peter says and raises the Siege Perilous and opens a portal while thinking of home. "And I'm taking that!" He says while stealing the satchel he has been keeping the blood samples in and leaps into the portal.

Goblin flies after him, ready to return home as well.

"Well, good riddance with him." Peter says and his attention goes back to Gwen who he looks down to see must've been knocked unconscious by the hit to her head.

Peter leaps down to make sure she's okay.

"I mean, seriously. His outfit looks like a high school...musical...production..." Peter was in the middle of joking when he suddenly sees that Gwen isn't breathing.

"No...no, no, no!" Peter suddenly goes into panic as he runs to Gwen's side and lifts her head.

"Gwen, no. You can't be dead...I can't let you be dead." Peter says as he starts to break down and retracts his mask since nobody can see him from under the bridge.

"Honey, I did not save you just for you to die..." Peter tells Gwen with tears forming in his eyes.

J'onn flies down and sees Gwen didn't make it. "Oh, no..." he whispers and Peter finally breaks down and starts crying while holding onto Gwen as much as he can.

J'onn just lets him break down and places a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Peter looks to the sky and let's out an ear piercing cry of pain seeing his entire world has ended. Tears roll down his face like rain as it does start raining.

Even the universe is upset of her passing.

-

Alex and Winn were able to find Kara, Mon-El and all the people who were missing and were able to bring them back.

That's when they were filled in on what happened while they were gone.

J'onn brought Gwen's body back to the DEO where everyone saw that she didn't make it. It caused everything in the DEO to suddenly stop in shock since everyone knew and loved Gwen.

She was one of the most kindest, caring and forgiving person they've met. And she was taken away from them.

Peter couldn't handle everyone at the DEO and all of their "I'm sorry for your loss", "things will get better", and everything else so he just took himself home.

-

But going there didn't help him much either considering how their...his living room is filled with their wedding plans and agendas.

Peter then just begins to clean everything up and throwing their plans away, seeing he doesn't need them anymore. When he got to the middle of it, he lost his cool and started frustratingly throwing everything away and tearing it all up.

He starts to feel weak to the knees and just drops on to his cold hard floor. Tears returning to his eyes, but he feels like he's all dried out from crying he did earlier.

Why does this constantly happen to him?

Why does everyone he loves have to die?

Why does he continue to fight when he has finally ran out of things to fight for?

While he was thinking of these things, he hears a knock at his door and wonders who that could be.

Peter opens his door and sees Kara, not exactly who he was expecting.

"Hey, Skirt. What brings you by?" Peter asks, trying not to break down again.

"I...heard what happened." Kara tells him, looking sympathetic. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for not being there." She explains and pulls him into a hug.

"Hey, you saved people. You had the better day than I did." Peter reminds her. "Wanna come in for a minute, its kinda cold tonight."

"Sure." Kara says and steps inside and sees the rest of the mess Peter didn't get to cleaning up yet.

"Sorry about the mess...I was rearranging some things." Peter tries explaining.

"No, I completely understand." Kara assures him. "I just...you don't have to go through grieving alone, Peter." She tries explaining, but doesn't know how to say this.

"Kara...I know I don't need to be alone. But I feel like I need to be alone for a little while." Peter tells her.

"I understand. Just remember..." Kara takes his hand in hers, knowing how it feels to loose someone and knows he needs someone, but that he also needs to be alone. "You can always call me. Your super friend." She reminds him before leaving.

Peter assures her he knows, but he just lost his world.

He wants to be alone.
