Y/n is seen swinging in the city in silence, "this is all going so fast. My mind can't even keep up... the pacing of this all...does Spider-Man do this every day..."

Y/n felt himself losing power as he landed on a rooftop, but didn't even bother to soften his fall. He slowly got up. "That girl lost her entire family, how many lives were lost during the bombing too? I can't...I don't understand how humans are supposed to 'evolve' from all this..."

Y/n looks to see FEAST up ahead and sees a text message from Alison, she's labeled as the 'Big Shocker'. Y/n just couldn't even check it, at least, not after what he saw tonight. "I don't understand Lincoln motives...at this rate, he's gonna get the death penalty...but isn't that what he wants..."

The boy went to Feast and tried to sleep it off...but the boy could not wrap his head around any of it, how could he? Even Gwen couldn't figure it out herself, and to some level she didn't want to. That would require diving into the mind of a sick individual, and one as bad as Lincoln, she didn't want to even try to pick up any of that onto herself. She didn't want to feel sympathy for him, unlike Peter, she wanted to save everyone, but she didn't want to save Lonnie. Gwen is seen landing on the corner of a rooftop as she's seen with her phone out. "Whew, another truck down. Better send Yuri those coordinates."

Gwen started to swing through the city, but she was more skilled than Peter. She made quicker turns, preserved more webbing, more creative than Peter was. And during all that, she couldn't help but think about the new Spider-Man. "He's got the powers, but... a threat like this could just kill him. If Peter isn't careful, this whole thing could shatter him."

She got a call from Yuri, "Ghost-Spider."

"Hey, Yuri? How's the coordinates looking?" Gwen asked as Yuri sighs over the phone.

"They look legit, but as you know I..."

"Gotta send it to the higher ups, I know." Gwen rubbed her forehead. "Have you taken any breaks yet, Yuri? I just got back into the city."

"Have you?" Yuri fired back as Gwen saw a couple guys trying to steal a car.

"I can't afford to, especially-!" Gwen crawled down the wall and leaped off to tackle two of the men. She sensed a gun behind her and easily sweep kicked the girl behind her before webbing her face and pulling it down. Slamming the face on the ground and Gwen webbed her to the ground. "Especially with the newbie going around."

"Still haven't talk to him?" Yuri asked as Gwen looked down the road to see the two men got in a car and drove off. Gwen ran forward before she leapt in the air and webbed the corner of the building. She took a swift turn and webbed onto the car.

"I've talked to him, not much but I have. He's just a kid."

"And so are you." Yuri said as Gwen hit an unamused face as she webbed the side of the car and opened the door. She then crawled to the front of the car and pulled the two men out, webbing them to a lamp post. She then got behind the car and webbed the back, slowly stopping it. "Teach the kid a couple of tricks. Let him lighten up a bit...he'll need it."

"Why? What happened?" Gwen asked as Yuri sighed, explaining what happened as Gwen started to feel bad. She started swinging to the meet up place with Peter. "My god...what happened to the girl?"

"She...she broke down after the paramedics took the bodies." Yuri explained as she looked through the file. "She's unresponsive, her eyes dulled. Every time we take our eyes off her, she tries to hurt herself."

"What's her future looking like?" Gwen ran up a building, using her webs to pull herself up.

"She is a criminal, and although I don't want to, the higher ups want to arrest her." Yuri said as Gwen could hear the anger in her voice. "A mental hospital should be where they place her, but...sigh...she was in Tombstone's gang. Plus, she's the only one without a chip."

"Still...alright. I'll try talking to him." Gwen said as Yuri sighed.

"Thank you and hey...try to have faith. Spider-Man had to have a lot when trusting you." Yuri said as she hung up. Gwen looked at the meeting spot, but she didn't find him anywhere.

"Faith..." Gwen said before she swung off. She crawled into her dorm room as she saw a note from her dorm mate. "Hm, seems like Glory went over to Amanda's. Well, weight off my back."

Gwen webbed the window handle and pulled it down to lock it. She soon took off her suit and hid it in the usual place. She went to the bathroom to look at herself, a couple scratches on her face. Gwen raised her hand towards her cheek but flinched, not at the injury but rather the coldness of her hand. On the sink was a tiny drummer with his marching band. Gwen smiled and patted the drum, making a beat of her own before leaving it alone. "I'm glad Dad got that for me. It was...well he was trying to support me."

She left the bathroom and looked at the posters of rock bands. "I'm glad Glory was a band nerd, too little of us in the world. Sigh...too bad I can't join her band... no point in thinking about it now."

Gwen loosened her web shooters before leaping up to her bunk. "So that Spidey guy...his webs are alive? Huh... I wonder how he's doing."

Gwen turned over to face the wall but she kept thinking about him, while she drifted off into sleep. "...This must have been the first really...tragic thing to happen to him while in costume... but...he saved Peter and the police force. Maybe...I wasn't giving him enough credit...I need to...help him out..."

Y/n is seen waking up, but he didn't fall asleep really. His webs trapped him in web so he wouldn't go out to do Spider-Man stuff. The least Y/n got to do was rest his eyes. "Alright, I get it. Take some time off of Spider-Man...I don't know if I could go back right now anyway..."

The webs disappeared as well as Y/n leaps out of bed. "Aunt May is an Angel, she let me have my old spot back. I... should help out around here."

Y/n looked around and went over to a friend of Aunt May. She was carrying boxes as Y/n ran over. "Here, let me help you!"

"Ah, thank you, Y/n." she said as Y/n took the boxes as she raised her arms. "Come on, I'll show you where to put them."

Y/n nodded and walked down the hallway, he couldn't help but look at most of the people staying in bed. It was silent with a few murmurs here and there, it was uncomfortable. "It's so..."

"Heavy?" she asked as Y/n was freaking out. The lady chuckled, "I don't mean the boxes."

She looked out at the view as well. Y/n went up the steps. "What happened here? It's usually so...lively."

"Lincoln happened... ever since the message was broadcasted, the people on the bottom of the list are afraid..." someone was trying to smoke before the cigarette was taken. Another was rocking themselves on their bed. Another, holding their family pictures with tears. "FEAST has been getting people after people, people with no homes, no family, no hope. Especially after the news report about the docks on the East Side. New York is living in fear..."

Y/n gripped the box as she smiled. "Well, I'm glad you, Y/n, are still your positive self."

"Huh?" Y/n looked at her confused.

"Being raised here, you've always wanted to help others, doing so much for this shelter....in turn, even an old lady like me has to step up." She winked as she arrived at the door, Y/n put the boxes down. "Y/n, I know times are hard right now...but I hope you're able to smile and help others still. Thank you again."

"Yeah..." Y/n said as the lady walked into her room. Y/n looked at his hand. "No problem..."

Peter is seen in his apartment, it was messy and there were wires everywhere. He looked at his phone, "alright, here we go."

The phone rang as Peter put on his costume. "Hello?"

"Hey, Y/n! It's Peter. I'm just checking in." Peter said as he climbed onto the rooftop. "How are you doing? I know all this Lincoln stuff has been all over the news recently."

"Uh, honestly...I'm struggling, Pete." Y/n said as he sat on his bed. Peter had a worried look on his face as he started swinging. "My grades...could be better. Alison and Miles are getting along, and I just feel like a tag along. Not many new friends, I just feel...I'm just...I'm tired."

Peter stopped swinging and nodded. "Yeah, Gwen was right... something like this shouldn't be the first thing he deals with. He's not ready. I got you. Well, if you need me, I'm here."

Y/n thought back to what the lady said about him. Y/n hummed, "thanks Pete. I'll call you again."

"Alright, take care, Y/n." Peter said as Y/n hung up. Y/n looks at his hand before he looked at his wrists. "Come on, Webb. Let's go do some good."

Webb shook Y/n's arm in a 'no' manor at its new name but Y/n didn't care. Y/n went to the roof where there was a bag, he reached in and put on his costume. He called up Yuri. "Yuri, any news for me?"

"Kid, I'm not sure..."

"Yuri, I can't sit back. Like I told Ghost, too much is on the line. When things calm down, I'll settle down." Y/n said as Yuri tapped her desk. She looked through the papers and saw a signal on her radar.

"Alright, Spidey. There appears to be a disturbance with a wearhouse down in Chinatown, think you can handle it?" Yuri asked as Y/n webbed away and smiled.

"Oh yeah... I got this." He said as he looked at his HUD to find the break in before he arrived. He landed on a fire escape to an apartment complex and looked to see Lincoln's men out. "Hey Yuri, I'm seeing a whole lot of men outside."

"So what?" Yuri asked as Y/n looked down. "What are they doing?"

"Well, I'm just going to suggest that you send some back up. I don't think these guns and that Truck are for show and tell." Y/n said as he shot a web on the fire escape before he flipped upside down and started headed to the ground.

"Got it, sending out my men out there now. Can you tell if it's Lincoln's men?" Yuri asked as Y/n looked at all their clothes.

"There clothes match the girl's from yesterday, not to mention the cheap cologne." Y/n said as he webbed above one guy and waited till he was all alone. Y/n then webbed his leg before slamming his head on the railing. "Night-Night."

Y/n webbed him to the railing before rushing off to the railing above another. "Any idea what their after?"

"No, the police barley have any leads about Lincoln's true goals." Yuri said as Y/n dropped down behind two guys. He tapped both of their shoulders before they looked at each other. Y/n then webbed the back of their heads and Webb slammed them into each other. Y/n then webbed the two to the ground.

"Well what about Robbie?" Y/n asked.

"What? Who's Robbie?" Yuri asked as Y/n went to the next zip point.

"I'm not sure, but my source at the daily bugle was searching for a missing co-worker, Robbie from the Daily Bugle knew where the bombs were and was being hunted down for something he did." Y/n said as he looked at two men in the distance. "So if we find Robbie..."

"We might find Lincoln. I'll send out a search warrant." Yuri hung up as Y/n leapt on the ground.

"Hey. What are you two doing here?" Y/n walked forward as the two men quickly turned around.

"Spider-Man!" One of the guys said as the other started to panic.

"What do we do?! What do we do?!" The other one asked, the first man got out a gun and aimed it at Y/n.

"Sorry, I don't like these being pointed at me." Y/n said as he webbed the gun and webbed it to the floor. The man then took out a small knife and Y/n gasped. "Oh my god! A knife!"

"Yeah?" The man felt more powerful as he walked forward and Y/n started cowering.

"Oh man, I'm scared of sharp objects, please, please don't hurt me!" Y/n shouted as the youngest one got worried.

The man in the black smiled as he had his knife. "Look like this Spider is all tuckered out."

"Wait let me sneeze, ah-Choo!" Y/n shot his webs below the man and Webb webbed the man's feet together. Y/n then leaped in the air and span around, kicking the man in the back of the head, making him land on the floor. Y/n webbed him up before looking at the last one. "You. Now, let's not do anything hasty. Let's talk."

The young man shook his hands as he shed some tears, backing himself into a wall. "Stay back—!"

"Listen, you're gonna hurt someone with that. Why don't you put down the gun?" Y/n lowered his body as he sat down. The man was confused. "You got a name? Mine's a work in progress."

"M-Mac..." he said as Y/n nodded.

"Okay Mac, my webs already got your chip out, so let's talk about you." Y/n said as Mac was confused until Webb reached into his mouth and took out the chip. Mac held his jaw and held his mouth. "Why are you working for a gang like this? You seem to be smarter than that."

"M-My brother... he got into some trouble...I just...I just wanted to get him out of all this mess..." he said as Y/n shook his head.

"Then you should've gone to the police."

"THE POLICE WON'T HELP ME!!" Mac shouted in anger as he soon recoiled. "I'm...I'm sorry... I...I have records, papers...my brother doesn't..."

Y/n understood, "they can't exactly help someone who doesn't exist, right?" The man nodded as Y/n stood up. "Listen Mac, let's make a deal. You tell me what Lincoln wants with Robbie, and I'll let you go."

"Y-You mean it?" Mac said as Y/n nodded. "We got orders to look for a report that slipped out...We were told to look for Robbie since he went into hiding. When he found him, he didn't have it."

Y/n thought about the report... "where have I heard that before... MJ! She has the report!"

"Any idea what the report had?"  Y/n asked as Mac shook his head. He held a chip, he gave it to Y/n as Y/n looked at it. "What's this...?"

"It's Lincoln's. It unlocks the-"TRAITOR!!" Y/n's Spidey sense went off as a bang was heard. Y/n saw in blue a bullet that would shoot Mac. Webb quickly made a web shield to block the bullet.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Two men got into the semi truck and started to drive off.

"Mac, stay right here, I'll be back!" Y/n said as Y/n swung off to catch the truck.

Mac stayed and he held his head. "What have I gotten myself into.."

The back door was busted down as Kateri's men are seen with guns as the start raiding the place. They started freezing the area when they found nothing, "H-HEY! What are you doing??"

A soldier looked at Mac before his gloves started to shine blue. He started to approach Mac. "You'll do."

"Hey-! Stay away!" Mac shouted as he started to back up. "Spider man! Help! HELP!!"

Y/n is seen swinging around as he runs onto a rooftop. "I gotta call MJ."

The suit started to call MJ as he looked around. "Hello? Who is this?"

"Is this Mary Jane Watson? This is Spider-Man, well the third one." Y/n said as he heard the sounds of tires speeding north of him as Webb shot a line afar. Y/n shot one the other way as Y/n backed up and slingshot himself into the air.

"Y-Yes, how can I help you?" MJ said as she was seen with her computer.

"I've been told that you've come into contact with a file from Robbie from your work. That file holds important evidence to Lincoln's gang." Y/n as he went over a building.

"Yeah, I've been trying to find the evidence but I haven't cracked anything. Some sort of firewall that I can't break." MJ said as Y/n found the Semi and webbed to it. He landed on top of the truck, he webbed two lines near the top, as Webb crawled towards the front and pulled Y/n upwards. The strong wind due to the speed the semi was moving was dangerous.

"That's because you didn't have the key. Which I have. Is there a place I can meet you?" Y/n asked as MJ got up with realization.

She started to put on her shoes.  "Yeah! Meet me at the Daily Bugle at 11:00 AM."

Y/n nodded, "Alright, thanks mom. Shit, I mean MJ, Bye!"

MJ looked at her phone with a sigh. "Y/n I hope you know what you're doing..."

Y/n finally made it to the front of the car. He knocked on the window. "Hey! Pull over!! You're going over the speed limit! Whoa-!"

Y/n stuck his hands to the door and leaned back to the truck in order to avoid the gun shots, braking through window. Y/n also avoided the cars on the side of the road. "Oh can't wait to hear what Jameson says."

Y/n flips himself over and climbs to the window again. "I said, Pull OVER!"

Y/n webs the driver's face on the wheel as Y/n then webs the man next to him and takes the gun out of his hand. Y/n opens the door and webs the two to a building. "Here's your exit, boys!"

Y/n looked to stop the truck, but Gwen appears and webs a bunch of buildings in front of the truck. The truck went into it as the truck eventually came a halt, Y/n webbed to a building and looked for his helper, only to not find her. He climbed up the building only to see a hand in front of him. "That was nice work. Gotta work on the stoping part, though."

Y/n looked up to see Ghost Spider as he takes her hand. "What are you doing here? I thought you were trying to find the supplies trucks?"

"Well I found some trucks, unfortunately there wasn't any obvious ties to Lincoln." Gwen explained as she webbed a building. "Come on, let's talk somewhere else."

"Right." Y/n followed her to Central Park, Gwen just sat on a bench. "Uh, is it okay for us to just...?"

"Why not? We're humans too." Gwen says as Y/n nods and sits down.

"Yeah...I keep forgetting that." Y/n said as he sat down on the bench. There's a long silence before Gwen looked at him.

"I heard about what happened..." she started to say. "It's not your fault, it's Lincoln's."

"I know that."

"I don't think you do." Gwen says as Y/n looked at her. "When we do this job, we sacrifice a lot to put our lines on the lives. We miss out a lot on being human. So what's your reason...?"

"Sigh..." Y/n said as he rubbed the back of neck. "I...I saw someone who knew where the bomb detonator was."

"..." Gwen listened and looked at him. She signaled to keep going.

"I told the police all I could, and left." Y/n said as Gwen looked at him.

"It sounds like you did all you could..." Gwen said as Y/n shook his head.

"No...I had the power to go and check it out but..." Y/n started to clench his hands in anger as the mask showed him frowning. "It's all because I left it to someone else...if I went, my spider sense would've picked up on it. I could've done something. All those people, they got hurt because of me. All those innocent people, lives lost, because I left it to someone else."

Gwen knew this anger, it was the same one she felt when she lost... Y/n sighed. "You wouldn't understand."

"I think I'm the only one that can understand." Gwen said as she stood up. "While I lost my friend, you lost your community." Gwen looked at Y/n, who had his head down. "What is your plan for him, when you find him?"

"I want to kill him." Y/n said as he held his hands. "It's like my entire body is screaming out to do so."

"But?" Gwen says as Y/n looked up at her.

"He deserves to suffer, life in prison." Y/n said as he stood up as well. "Thanks for this, I needed to clear my head."

"No problem. Us Spider-Heroes gotta stay together." Gwen said as she gave him a number. She winked at him. "My Spidey Number, don't lose it."

"Right, I'll stay in touch." Y/n said as he aimed for a tree but Gwen grabbed his arm. "...?"

"It's...nice to have someone my age to talk to. You know, that's gets this all." Gwen stayed as Y/n nodded.

"Yeah...I might have a lead." Y/n said as Gwen looked at him as he webbed away.

"He might have what it takes after all." Gwen asked as she webbed away as well.

Y/n pulled out his phone and typed the number into his mask, "got it...a girl's number! Amazing!"

Webb took the distracted boy and brought him to Daily Bugle. Y/n looked at MJ's office, he stuck his hand to the window and slid it open. He looked at all the boards, pins connecting the strings, papers stacked and littered on her desk. He crawled onto the ceiling and saw no humans. "Looks like she's not here yet..."

Speak of Mephisto, she walked in as Y/n came down. "Oh! You're here!"

"As promised, now..." Y/n dropped down and looked at her. "Where is the file?"

MJ walked over to her work computer. "Oh, right over here...let me get to the firewall...And here."

Y/n looked at the USB port and plugged in the chip to the side of the computer. Soon the firewall was broken. MJ looked at it, "No way, good job, Spidey."

"Now, it's time for answers. After this, we send this straight to the police." Y/n says as he couldn't tell what he was looking at. MJ seemed shocked by her shaking hands.

"No-no way..." She said as Y/n looked at her.

"What is it? Did you find something?" He asked as she nodded. The only thing Y/n could tell was Joseph 'Robbie' Robertson on every paper. "These are all reports, articles..."

"Yeah... they're all on Lincoln and his men. But it was never published...?" MJ wondered as she dug deeper.

"From the looks of it, this dates back to the 90's." Y/n looked at the dates, trying to piece it all together. "He's been following Lincoln's activities for years, it seemed like an unhealthy obsession."

"Yeah, but that obsession works two ways. Look." MJ said as she pointed to an article. "Robbie says here that the two were friends in high school and worked on the school articles together. Apparently they broke it off. This last one from his high school lists all the crimes Lincoln has done in."

"Lincoln worked for the Daily Bugle for most of his life... that explains the obsession with articles and the Daily Bugle." Y/n says as he looks at MJ. "Great, we know his past but we don't know where he is."

"No, that Key you gave us lead us to multiple areas in the city." MJ said as she took out her phone. "There, I sent you all the data to you. I should call the police now, huh?"

Y/n looked at the Recent article. "Hold on...what's that?"

"Huh?" MJ looked before taping a couple keys, a red article popped up.

"Okay, I'm guessing a red article isn't a good sign?" Y/n asked as MJ shook her head.

"It says here that JJJ is funding...some sort of project with those guys over at Crypto Inc....it's dense. I'll have to look more into it." MJ said as Y/n thought to Kateri.

"Send it to the police and have them investigate. I have to go find a 'friend' of mine." Y/n gripped the window handle.

"Wait." MJ said as he looked at her. "Thank you, for all of this. I know this must be hard on you, and tiring and..."

"It's what we do." Y/n leaped out the window and swung into the streets.
——————-
"Joey?" Kateri is seen walking around her apartment. Many things were still in boxes, "at least Joey was able to set up his room..."

Kateri had a plate in her hand, with a drink as well. She knocked on the door to Joey's room. "Hey, Joey! I got you some Lunch here."

"Oh thanks! I'll eat it at the table!" Joey shouted from his room as Kateri rolled her eyes with a smile before setting the drink and food down at the table.

She went back to her room to see her armor and weapons. She picked up her gun, looking at it. She flipped open the mags to find the usual blue crystals inside. "All stocked up and clean."

She heard clicks as she put the gun down and walked out to greet her son. "Hey, Joey. What are you up to?"

"Oh, I'm watching some of that new Spider-Man stuff." Joey said as Kateri paused.

"New Spider-Man stuff?" She asked as Joey nodded and took a bite out of his sandwich.

"Yeah, the new Spider-Man just stopped a semi truck running loose in New York." Joey said as Kateri reached into her almost empty cupboard and got the chips out.

"You shouldn't watch that kind of stuff, it fills your brain with violence." Kateri said as Joey scoffed.

"Can't be more violent than what's going on in New York with Lincoln." He said sarcastically and kept watching his videos. "All my friends are starting to move away, but everyone's background is being checked. If they don't have records, then they'll be sent back..."

"If they don't have records, they shouldn't be here." Kateri said as Joey glared at her. She took some chips and put them on a plate for herself.

"They might have a good reason for coming here. To escape poverty, starvation?" Joey listed the options as Kateri kept eating.

"Without records, anyone could be listed as a terrorist and no one would bat an eye. It was like that before Lincoln showed up, and it's only gotten worse now that he's here." Kateri said as she finished her chops and moved it towards her bloodborn.

"That doesn't make it right." Joey said as he looked away, "isn't your job supposed to keep people safe? What a great job they're doing."

Kateri looked at her son with a glare. "Now you listen here, Joey. Everything I do, every decision I make, is for your sake. Without this job, we would not even be here. The least you can do is understand that and show some respect."

"Your government agency kills anyone who posses a threat!" Joey shouted at her as Kateri glared at him.

"This is a national disaster! We have the authority to do so!" Kateri shouted as Joey grit his teeth.

"Just because someone does wrong, doesn't always mean they should be called a criminal and die!" Joey shouted at Kateri thought back to Spidey's words and stopped. Joey's phone then went off as he held his phone up, his eyes went wide. "Whoa, you might want to get a job change."

Kateri looked at the phone when Joey showed her an article from Mary Jane Watson. Her eyes went wide with confusion. "Wait what...? That doesn't make..."

Kateri looked to the floor, thinking. Then, she got up and went to her uniform and put it in a suitcase, along with her gear. Joey looked at his mother. "Mom...?"

"Dinner is on your own tonight, I'll be back as soon as I can." Kateri says as she is then seen walking in armor to Fisk. "Fisk, what the hell is this? A project?"

"You can read, can't you?" Fisk asked as Kateri took out her swords.

"You're using my company's resources for your project. I should've been in the loop. Now what is this project." Kateri said as Fisk held his cane and looked at her.

"Unfortunately for you, your superiors think that's on a need to know basis...and you don't need to know." Fisk teases as Kateri gripped her swords. "Or should I say, you don't have enough clearance to do anything."

"But I can spread what I do know around. You and the company will be ruined!" Kateri said as Fisk smirked.

"Did you truly think you could get a fresh start?" Fisk held up a phone, which showed Joey at school. Kateri froze as Fisk waved his hands. "There we go, now your listening. I'll get to the point...they want to give you a chance to get that clearance."

Kateri gritted her teeth. "What..?"

Fisk walked to the window. "The new bug is apparently causing for trouble than the other two have in a while. The information could only be unlocked with leaked data, the same one that a certain Robbie had."

Kateri glared at him as she slowly put the swords away. "What are you asking of me?"

"Squash that bug, unless you want to lose your son." Fisk said as he waved his hand. "Now, get to it. You don't have long."

Kateri gritted her teeth, wanting to say millions of things, but couldn't. She thought back to Spidey's and Joey's words... "I'm sorry Joey."

Gwen is seen swinging as she gets a text message from 'Newbie Spinner'. Gwen took deep breaths. "Alright Gwen, you got this. It's just a friend, you can make friends. You've done it before...or we're those people tolerating me?"

Gwen opened the text to see hundreds of files, "whoa, what's all this...Lincoln and Robbie? Secret project? Mary Jane...? Crypto Inc... I knew those guys were sketchy. Alright, the locations are scattered all over the place. But... from the looks of it... they all are equal space from each other."

Gwen landed at a park and looked at the map of the city, she started marking it. "If I cross all the points I should..."

Gwen saw that all the points hit the same spot, "Alright, I gotcha. Better let Peter-!"

Gwen's spider sense went off as she leaped in the air, she webbed the leg of someone before the person froze the webline, which made Gwen detach it. She landed on the ground to roll away from two ice blast before webbing to her attacker. She kicked Kateri in the chest, pushing her back into the open. "Now, ice queen, wanna tell me why you're firing ice beams in Manhattan?"

"Where's the hatchling?" Kateri said as Gwen realized what's happening, she raised her arms.

"Don't know how he got so popular, but he's busy. And so am I, so move along!" Gwen said as Kateri's boots started to glow blue. She dashed for Gwen as a ice trail followed her footsteps. Gwen leaped over here just as Kateri went to slice her with the sword before webbing to her and kicking her twice in the back. Kateri's armor charged Blue as Gwen's spider sense told her to get away as she webbed to a nearby tree.

"Don't make this hard. Just tell me where he is, and I'll let you live!" Kateri shouted as Gwen looked at her.

"Why are you hunting him down?" Gwen asked as she avoided a gun blast as the tree was covered in ice. "Okay, so she can only aim it in a straight line upwards or downwards."

Gwen started leaping to tree to tree as Kateri observed. "This girl, I can't see many of her movements. She doesn't waste any of her actions like the other two."

Kateri tried shooting Gwen again but Gwen avoided it after leaping into the air, she then slid down the ice and punched Kateri back before webbing her chest and kicking her again. Kateri grabbed her leg, slowly freezing it as Gwen gritted her teeth. "GRGH!"

Gwen quickly wrapped her thighs around Kateri's neck as she punched Kateri in her face until Kateri let go. Kateri felt her face as it was in pain as Gwen held leg before webbing it. "You're strong."

"You're annoying." Gwen said as Kateri started to aim her gun at Gwen again but Gwen webbed the gun shut. Kateri quickly out it away as Gwen tried webbing to her but Kateri sliced it. Gwen rolled on the ground and quickly leaned back low to the ground to avoid Kateri's slice. "Whoa!"

Gwen avoided two more slices before trying to web the swords, but ice just followed. "Alright so I can't get the swords out of her head, but can I get them stuck?"

Gwen stood in front of the tree before smirking. Gwen tried to web Kateri's swords but Kateri kept destroying it, charging at Gwen. Gwen avoided the thrust at the last second, making Kateri get her sword stuck into the tree, which was now freezing. Gwen then kicked Kateri in the head after sticking her hands to the tree. "GAH-! You little-!"

Kateri ripped off the webs of her gun and started to change the nozzle on her gun. She aimed it at Gwen, who got ready for an attack. The gun made an Icy mist that covered the park, as Gwen tried looking for her. "I never was a fan of hide and seek."

"You'll learn." Kateri said somewhere in the ice. Gwen kept looking around, moving in a circle and turning. She heard a click and her spider sense went off. But she was too late, and was hit in the back with ice. "Give up now. Before it gets ugly."

"To be fair,tssss-! I was winning before." Gwen said as she saw slowed as Kateri appeared from the mist with her sword out. She quickly made a trail of ice which accelerated her speed and she went for a slash, but Gwen quickly broke out of her ice and landed on the top of her shoulder before leaping behind her. Gwen's foot landed on the ice and was frozen, "oh come on!"

Kateri's glove was surrounded with ice and she slammed it into Gwen's face, sending the girl back. "Stop fighting, just tell me where the new Spider man is."

"Not a chance, Frozone." Gwen said as she leaned on a tree before webbing to a tree to avoid an ice shot. Gwen webbed a tree branch before slamming it down on Kateri's armor. "That's it, if I brake it, I can do some real damage."

Kateri hid in the mist again while Gwen closed her eyes and heard the click of Kateri's gun. Gwen dropped to the floor to avoid the ice before Gwen got back up, webbed the ice, and threw it back at Kateri. Kateri stumbled back with a grunt which Gwen had the opportunity to land some punches, breaking the armor. Kateri took out her swords to push back Gwen as Gwen flew back a bit before she rolled on the ground. Gwen used that momentum to web Kateri's feet and pull her. Kateri was pulled towards Gwen, and when she finally got up, Gwen gave her a rising kick that launched her into the air. Gwen then webbed two sides of a tree before slingshotting herself to give a hard kick to the armor, finally cracking it. "No! No no no!"

Gwen webbed Kateri to the ground, away from her weapons. "Now, answers. Why are you looking for him?"

"They...have my son..." Kateri said as Gwen shook her head.

"And you want to trade lives? That's not how we do things." Gwen said as Kateri looked at her.

"Grow up! You would do the same in my situation!" Kateri shouted as she tried to break free. Gwen crouched down to her and looked at her.

"You're right, I would. But you have a choice. Work with us, and save your son. Or kill the person who made sure your son wouldn't grow up without his mother." Gwen said as Kateri gritted her teeth as Spider-Man showed up. "Where were you? Could've used your help a while ago."

"Sorry.. I was trying to figure out where Lincoln's hideout was. Then I got a report about a white Christmas in September." Spider-Man said as he looked down at Kateri. "So...What do you say?"
———-
Lincoln is seen in a large facility. A young man in a suit was walking behind him. "Sir! Sir!"

"Yes?" Lincoln asked with a smile.

"Have you seen the latest article for the Daily Bugle?!" he shouted as Lincoln smiled.

"Yes, it was surprisingly well written. I should send my regards to Ms. Watson."

"Sir, all the data, all your history, it all in this paper!" the man said as Lincoln passed by a metal door. The two walked down a white hallway with men rushing to clear out their offices.

Lincoln helped by picking up some boxes. "Here you, man."

"T-Thank you, sir!" they said as Lincoln patted them on the back.

"It's no problem, no clear out before they get here." Lincoln said as the two continued to walk. "Yes, I'm aware of the implications. This is but the next step."

"Next step?! It's over, sir!" The man fixed his glasses as the two went on the elevator and went down to the lowest level. Lincoln looked at his main computer on the side, seeing the police trying to break in as the swat and more were trying to break in.

"You see, Tim. When you help someone, you help everyone." Lincoln said as he sat down in his chair. "Do you know how people rise to the stop? How their able to form connections?"

"Uh..,money?" Tim said as Lincoln nodded.

"Heh, that's not what I was going for but yes, Money is a big factor. But you could be a rich asshole, and nobody would give a damn about you. Nah, it's charisma." Lincoln said as he pressed a button. The large screen showed his men started to fight back, actually...most of the men were pushing back every force trying to break in. A helicopter was shot down and crashed into a swat car. "It's sad, I did have to use fear to get what I wanted at first. But soon, I gave them opportunities to earn back what I took. They rose from rags to riches, the false illusion of equality. That's what that damn statue represents. But what about all the people that came to America and was sent back? Nobody pays a mind to those folks, their stories are untold. And so that statue represents the same untold story. Those men, fighting for the cause of letting those stories unfold, are the ones who earned what they fight for. As such, they will follow me with undying loyalty."

"And what about the ones who break. The ones who deny your views." Spider-Man and Ghost Spider are seen on the wall, holding Tim as they web him to the wall.

"They unfortunately...will never have their stories told." Lincoln smiled as Peter glared at him and webbed his arm, Lincoln quickly took out a knife and cut it. Gwen webbed his foot and pulled him to her, Lincoln took out his twin pistols and aimed it at her. He shot as Gwen quickly webbed a metal bar to deflect the bullets. Lincoln was let go as the bullets come back at him, Lincoln shot his bullets again, destroying the ones coming at him. Peter leaped off the wall to tackle him, the two slammed into the ground as Lincoln chuckled. "Why are you mad, Spider-Man? You've fought worse than me, haven't you?"

"All of you scum are the same." Peter said as he held Lincoln in the air.

"Then why can't you beat me yet." Lincoln said before he started glowing blue.

"SPIDER-MAN!!" Gwen shouted as Peter's spider sense went off. He tried to remove his arm but it was frozen. Lincoln then Freed himself as Peter tried kicking him but Lincoln took out his pistol and shot Peter in the thigh. "NOOOO!!"

Gwen webbed Lincoln's face and slammed him into the ground. Lincoln took his Crypto glove and slammed it into the ground. The ice trailed from the ground to Gwen as her legs and arms were stuck to the wall. "Grh!!"

"By becoming the necessary evil, it opens the eyes of the public. To the horrors of the world." Lincoln said as he started to walk away. Peter webbed his own leg before going for a punch, Lincoln caught the fist and grabbed the back on Peter's head before slamming him into his knee. Peter's head went back before he went for another punch, but Lincoln slammed the glove on his chest, freezing him. Lincoln then kicked him away, giving internal damage to the hero. Lincoln held his glove. "I'm liking this toy already."

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man get up!!" Gwen shouted as she tried to break free. Lincoln aimed his gun at Peter before Gwen broke her left arm out and webbed the back of Lincoln's hand. She pulled his hand up, stopping the bullet. Lincoln then clicked his teeth before aiming his ice gun at her, freezing her fully.

"NO!" Peter shouted before he webbed to Lincoln, kicking him in the back of the head. Lincoln didn't have time to react because his head was slammed into his computer desk. Peter then webbed the back of Lincoln's back and launched himself at with a kick.

"GAH-!" Lincoln shouted in pain as he smirked through his bloody face. "That was a good one..!"

Lincoln took out his gun and changed the nozzle, mist started to ring out before Lincoln changed the nozzle again. He shot to the roof, making icicles. Peter looked up and had to roll over with his injures to avoid the piercing death, Peter didn't even have time for his Spider sense to warn him as Lincoln gave him a hard kick to the chin. Peter webbed his chest as he pulled Lincoln to him. Lincoln took out his knife, slicing Peter in the chest twice before Peter gained the strength to throw him. "RAAAAH!!!"

"Oof-!! Gah-!" Lincoln slammed into the wall as he held his chest as blood poured out his mouth. He aimed his gun weakly and shot Peter in the calfs twice.

"GAH-!!!" Peter fell to the ground but tried using his webs to crawl to Lincoln.

Lincoln held his chest as he slowly got up with his bloody face. He looked at the heavily injured hero, "yeah, I did that. Ugh-! Come on, Lincoln. Let's get out of here...!"

Gwen started to unfreeze as she could hardly breathe. "So...so cold...! G-Gotta..."

For some reason, her mind went to Y/n, of course masked up him. "W-Why him...? Why in this situation...? No...we should've brought him..."

"Ghost-! Gah-! You gotta get him! He's getting away-!!!" Peter shouted as he had to lift his mask to spit out his blood. Gwen held her head and tried to adjust her vision, noticing Lincoln put his hand on the door before running through it as it closed behind him.

"Come on, Ghost-Spider! You can do it!" Gwen thought to herself as she broke out the ice and fell down to the ground. She held her arms as they were bleeding a bit. She crouched before webbing the injures and looking at a vent above the door. "Spider-Man-! I'll come back for you!"

"Just go!" Peter shouted as Gwen nodded. She crawled through the vent to quickly catch up to Lincoln.

Lincoln is seen running to the stairs before hearing movement, "Bravo 6, moving forward!"

"Shit..!" Lincoln said before he rushed down to the elevator. The swat team saw Lincoln and chased after him.

"Freeze or we will shoot!!" They said as Lincoln pressed the door close button over and over.

"Come on, come on." He said before the elevator went up. Lincoln took a sigh of relief, but looked in the mirror at his pale skin become scattered with blood. "This is all for them, for us...keep going, Lonnie. Keep going..."

Lonnie's elevator stopped as Gwen is seen webbing the elevator in the shaft before breaking into the elevator. Lonnie sighed, "you gotta be-!"

Gwen kicked him straight out the elevator doors, "AHHHHHHH!!!"

Lonnie shouted as Gwen webbed to him and punched him over and over again. She then webbed him all over and slower their fall. The swat looked into the elevator shaft only to see Lonnie webbed up. "Heheh... seems like...you won."

"Peter! Are you okay?" Gwen shouted as Peter was standing but holding his legs.

"Yeah-yeah. I'm fine... did you?"

"Yeah, yeah, I stopped him. Don't worry about that, worry about yourself." Gwen said as she helped him be stable.

He laughed. "Yeah...we should've brought the newbie."

"Hello! Help!" A voice shouted as Gwen and Peter looked at each other. They broke into a hidden door in the computer room to find Robbie in a cage. "It's you...!"
——————-
"So, Spider-Man was taken to the hospital?" Y/n asked Yuri as he walked up the side of the building.

"That's right, Ghost-Spider suffered heavy injuries. I sent her off, although I didn't want to." Yuri said as Webb pushed Y/n out of the way of a drone. Y/n kept walking up the building. "She told me she'll take school off to rest and to 'reassure me'."

"You seem like the type to parent children on the street." Y/n said as she sighed. Y/n appears next to her as he swung up to the railing of the police station. Yuri put out her cigarette.

"I'm a police captain, I couldn't do this job if I couldn't." Yuri said as Y/n sat down on the railing.

"So... what happened to Robbie?" Y/n asked as Yuri looked at him.

"After the raid, Robbie contacted the Department of Justice to give them his deposition against Lincoln. Lincoln was finally jailed, but so was Robbie..." Yuri stated as Y/n was confused.

"What?! But he was kidnapped?!" Y/n shouted as Yuri shook her head.

"The world doesn't work in black and white, kid. Did you read all the data? Not all of it was in the article that was published." Yuri said as leaned on the railing. "Robbie was tied up to witnessing many of Lincoln's murders. When he was let go, he still watched. Whether it was to gain Lincoln's trust, or to wait for a break away, when he called us on the phone, he did not admit to witnessing the murders."

"..." Y/n was silent. The thought of Robbie being guilty didn't even enter his mind.

Yuri pat him on the back. "He said so himself, his testimony entailed a confession to being accessory to the murders. And so...he was taken to the Penitentiary..."

"And what about Lincoln?" Y/n asked as Yuri gripped the railing.

"That's the part that aggravates me. He's waiting for his trial. But guess where he ended up?" Yuri looked at him but Y/n gained fear.

"You're kidding..."
————
A sign reads 'Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary'. Robbie is seen as he backs up in fear. "N-No! Not again...."

"Heh, hey there, R-Man." Lincoln is seen in the cell across from his.

"How!? There was no way you should be in the same prison as me!!" Robbie shouted in fear as he gripped the bars.

"You think billionaires don't have power when they're in jail? The sad truth is they do. I've got connections, after all, I want to be with my best friend."

"We are not friends, we never were! You bullied everyone and use people to get higher and higher!" Robbie said as Lincoln glared at him.

"You act like that's a bad thing. Those with good intentions, will rise faster to the top." Lincoln said as Robbie backed up.

"You're deranged. You've truly lost it, Lonnie." Robbie said as a white male with blond hair stood up next to Robbie.

"I think it's time for you to leave Robbie alone." the man said as Lincoln stood up.

"Oh yeah? Who are you supposed to be?" Lonnie asked as the man shook his head.

"We know all about your ploys, Lincoln. We all read the article from the Daily Bugle, exposing your ass to the entire world." Lincoln started to grip the bars as the man smiled. "You and your messiah complex are full of idiotic tributes. Haha, those poor fools died for nothing."

"You bastard!!" Lincoln picked up one of his bars and threw it at the man's face. The bar went right through him and killed him, lodging the body to the wall. "Who's laughing now?"

"Oh, oh my god!" Robbie puked on the ground as he was full of despair and disgust. Lincoln heard the alarms go off as he saw his men coming in with guns as they saw him.

"Sir! We've come to get you out of here!" They said as Lincoln smiled.

"Knew I could count on you guys." Lincoln said before he glared at Robbie and picked him up by the neck. "Robbie, you're gonna pay for what you've done. I can't wait to watch you break."

"GAH-!" One of the men was frozen, then another and another.

"What the hell- GAH!!" Lincoln was frozen along with Robbie as Crypto agents came in and wrapped ropes around them. A man in a black mask and armor similar to Kateri looked at him.

"Lincoln, you'll be perfect. Take him." He said as Lincoln was dragged out with Robbie as Crypto agents took them away...
