*

In an abandoned alleyway, the Green Goblin mask hangs on the side of a garbage bin. Its owner, Norman Osborn, sits on the ground, a few metres away from it, trying to cover up his glider.

Green Goblin, "Coward."

Osborn looks up and turns around, whimpering.

Green Goblin, "We have a new world to conquer. You make me sick."

Norman frowns, "Leave me alone. Please."

Green Goblin, "Hiding in the shadows... Hiding from who you truly are."

"No!"

Green Goblin, "You can't escape yourself!"

The frightened man grabs a rock and uses it to shatter the mask to pieces, which fall onto the pavement. He then runs away, the Goblin's cackle lingering behind him.

Back to the undercroft. Ned and MJ are standing by Ned's laptop, looking up as Peter and Norman come towards them. Mila sits still finishing her hat for Michelle.

"Guys, this is Mr. Osborn."

Norman stands pointing, "Hey, it's Doctor."

"Sorry. Um... Dr. Osborn, these are my friends, Ned and MJ."

Ned waves briefly. Norman seems confused, "Mary Jane?"

"It's Michelle Jones, actually." Young Peter replies as Michelle stands awkwardly.

"Fascinating..."

Mila looks intrigued as she glances between Norman and Michelle. In her world there was both Mj and Osborn. But they were very different. And if this Osborn wasn't from young Peter or her Peter's world... then whose was he from?

"Mila."

Mila shakes her head and comes back to as young Peter looks at her in worry, "Hey are you okay?"

Nodding Mila smiles softly patting his shoulder, "Yeah I'm fine, little Pete."

Peter chuckles shaking his head, "I'm not sure I like this new nickname."

"It'll stick."

Peter then sees the cut on her face and frowns, "What happened? I was only gone for a few hours."

"Just a nick. You made a tree appear." Mila points at the huge tree that took up a large corner of the room.

Peter nods giving her a once over glance again, "Maybe you should stay with my Aunt May."

Mila waves a hand nonchalantly, "Oh please it's just a battle wound. Without the battle. I'm okay. If things start to get hairy I'll go with your Aunt."

Young Peter nods.

"As if I need a babysitter..." Mila whispers to herself not realizing Peter heard her.

"Watch it."

Mila holds up her hands in surrender, "Sorry."

Young Peter shakes his head smiling. Mila had begun to be very important to him in the small time he knew her. There was just something about her that made everyone want the best for her and want to protect her. He could tell with every small glance Mj made. Mj would subtly check the pregnant girl making sure she didn't get into anything. And to Young Peter, Mila felt like a mom in a weird way.

Peter snaps out of his mind and looks at Norman who was starting at Mila in confusion, "Dr Osborn this is Mila Parker."

"Parker?" Norman looks at her pregnant belly then up at her soft smile.

"My Peter isn't from this world... universe... whatever."

Norman looks around in awe as Ned now rubs his hand on his chin wondering.

"Do you think there are other Ned Leedses?"

Mila shakes her head, "Doesn't sound familiar. But I do have a Flash!"

Mj grimaces, "Gross."

Mila laughs, "That's what I said at first."

Osborn steps into the dungeon, towards Doc Ock, "Octavius?"

Otto Octavius turns around, surprised, "Osborn?"

"What... What happened to you?"

"What happened to... You're the walking corpse."

Osborn frowns confused, "What do you mean?"

"You died, Norman. Years ago."

Norman Osborn smiles, shaking his head, "You're insane."

Max smirks, "God, I love it here."

"What are you talking about? He's standing right there." Peter replies, "He's not..."

Flint interrupts stepping forward, "Dead. They both died, fighting Spider-Man."

Norman and Otto both turn towards Marko.

"It was all over the news. Green Goblin, impaled by the glider he flew around on. And a couple of years later... you. Doc Ock, drowned in the river with your machine."

Octavius clutches his hand as reality begins to sink in, "That's nonsense! Spider-Man was trying to stop my fusion reactor. So I stopped him. I had him, by the throat.... And then, I... And then I was here."

Max scoffs, "Oh, please. Let me tell you something. I was whooping Spider-Man's ass. He'll tell ya. And then he caused an overload. I was stuck in the grid, absorbing data. I was about to turn into pure energy, and then... And then, uh... And then..." He pauses it clicks, "Oh, shit. I was about to die."

Connors raises an eyebrow, "Max, do you know? Do I die?"

Before he has any chance to get a respons, Doctor Strange materializes via an abrupt portal. His eyes immediately close in on Osborn, "Oh, great. You caught another one."

"No, wait. Strange, he's not dangerous..."

The Sorcerer Supreme disregards this and portals Norman into the last remaining cell.

"It's okay." He notices an odd object in Strange's grasp. It's the same cube he locked the spell before, "What is that?"

"It's an ancient relic. The Machina de Kadavus. Trapped your corrupted spell inside, once you've finished the proper ritual, will reverse the spell. And send these guys back to their universes."

Octavius stares angrily, "And then what? We perish?!"

Mila frowns as she looks at Max then back at Peter who glances at her.

Max shakes his head, "Nah. No thanks, I'll pass on that."

Osborn begins to freak out, "Let me out of here. Peter!"

Peter sighs, "Strange... We can't send them back. Not yet."

"Why?"

"Some of these guys are gonna die."

"Parker... it's their fate."

Mila raises her hand, "Excuse me."

Strange rubs his temple, "Yes, Mila?"

"Fate can be changed. Obviously seeing as in the other two worlds or universes or whatever the heck... my Peter was fated to be with Mj. Gwen first then Mj... I messed the plan up. The future... we can change theirs just like I changed Peter's... my Peter. Ugh this whole Peter thing is confusing."

Young Peter stands visibly disturbed. He felt like he would be killing these guys. Their blood would be on his hands if he sent them back to their death. And even when it came to Max, he thought Mila should be able to at least have a minute or two with him not trapped.

"Come on, Strange. Have a heart."

In a calm yet somewhat fanatical tone Strange says regretfully, "Mila we have no idea if your Peter was fated to those two or not. He could have very well been fated to you all along... In the grand calculus of the multiverse, their sacrifice means infinitely more than their lives. I'm sorry, kid. If they die, they die."

He starts the ritual. Several pieces of machinery in the cube slide and click into place. The tension in the room thickens as Connors, Octavius, Dillon and Osborn, all stand scared potentially experiencing their last moments.

Osborn cries out desperate, "PETER!"

A button pops up from the top. The Sorcerer Supreme's hand is right above it, about to finish his ritual, when Spider-Man does the unthinkable. He webs the Machina de Kadavus.

Turning towards Peter, Strange raises a brow, "Don't..."

Peter pulls the relic to himself, throwing Stephen out of balance, then blasts the startled magician with his gauntlet, trapping him inside Sandman's cell.

Ned gasps, "Dude, what are you doing?!"

Mila slaps her hand over her head as she then walks over to the couch and sits down, "Oh geez. I'm getting too old for this."

"Peter, you gotta go. Go!" Mj yells as she adopts a defensive stance, shielding her fleeing partner.

Strange huffs annoyed as he watches Peter disappear from the sanctum, "This is why I never had kids."

...

Ned stands seeing Peter hurry down the stairs into the room, "Dude, what happened?"

"I just had a fight with Doctor Strange and I totally won!"

"What?"

"Look, and I stole his ring thing."

Ned takes it from him and puts it on.

Mila whistles, "Don't put that on, Ned. You don't know what magical capabilities that ring has."

Mj nods agreeing as she helps Mila stands from the couch, "Or what power it holds."

"I was swinging through the city, and then I went through this..." He takes off his mask, "massive mirror thing, and then I was back..."

Mj frowns, "Where is he?"

Peter Parker: He's trapped, but... I'm not sure for how long.

Mila immediately grabs Peter's arm and pinches him.

"Ouch!"

"Shame on you, Peter Parker... ew that's weird to say while looking at the baby version-"

"I'm literally about to be in college."

"Still a baby face."

Octavius clears his throat while looking disbelieved at Young Peter, "You could've just left us to die. Why didn't you?"

Mj shakes his head, "Because that's not who he is."

Peter nods, "I think I can help you guys. If I can fix what happened to you, then when you go back, things will be different and you might not die fighting Spider-Man."

Max watches warily, "What do you mean, 'fix us'?"

"Look, our technology is advanced..."

"I can help you." Osborn smiles, "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself..." He then nods to Doc Ock, "Octavius knows what I can do."

"Fix? You mean like a dog? I refuse."

Mila rolls her eyes, "Men and their immediate negative thinking."

"I can't promise you guys anything, but at least this way, you actually get to go home and have a chance. A second chance. I mean, come on. Isn't that worth trying?"

Connors makes a hmph sound, "Trust me, Peter... When you try to fix people, there are always consequences."

"I mean, you don't have to come. I also didn't know that you could talk."

The Lizard growls in disapproval.

"But if you stay here... you're gonna have to deal with the wizard."

"Ah, so, we go along, or die. Not much of a choice, is it?"

Flint groans angrily, "I just wanna go home."

"Well, I myself don't wanna be killed, especially by a guy dressed like Dungeons & Dragons, so... what's your plan?" Max jokes.

"I have it all under control."

He calls Ned, Mj, and Mila for a little timeout.

Peter holds up the Machina, "What are we gonna do about this thing?"

Mj shrugs, "Well, we need to find somewhere safe for it, right?"

"Yeah. Yes. Yes." Ned says as he slowly twists the intriguing ring on his finger.

"You got to take it."

"Wait, what?" Mj stares at Peter like he's crazy.

"If something bad happens, I'll text you, and then you just push this and then it's all over, and they'll all be gone."

"We're going with you. We're not gonna leave you."

Peter shakes his head, "You can't come with me. It's too dangerous. You guys have already done enough."

"Peter, we're in this together." Ned smiles.

"I know we're in this together, Ned, but I can't do this if I know that you're in danger. Okay? So for me, MJ, please just take this. Please."

Mj groans, "Fine."

"Thank you."

"But Peter, I swear, if I don't hear from you, I'm pressing the button."

Peter shrugs staring at her bemused, "Sure."

"Okay." She turns to all the villains, "And I will do it!"

Norman nods in approval.

Max nods, "Yeah, we all believe you, Michelle."

Connors looks amused, yet disbelieving, "No way that's his girlfriend, no way."

"She'll do it." Peter warns.

"Absolutely. She will." Ned adds.

"Okay." He bids his friends farewell, "See you later."

"Be safe."

"You too."

Peter turns around not expecting to see Mila standing behind him arms crossed over her chest which was kind of adorable seeing as her arms rested on top of her pregnant belly.

"Um why are you still here and not following Ned and Mj?"

Mila shrugs, "Oh I'm going with you."

Young Peter shakes his head frantically lips fixed to disagree.

"Don't even try. I'm older-"

"Not wiser." Octo murmurs.

"You hush." Mila points.

Max shakes his head looking at his niece, "Yeah I vote you go with Michelle and the boxy one."

"Hey..."

Mila rolls her eyes, "His name is Ned. And I can do whatever I want to do. Peter is still a kid. It sucks that this is his responsibility. Dealing with a bunch of grown men with anger problems and weird as superpowers. Oh and whatever the hell you are." Mila nods to Connors who hisses at her.

Peter sighs, "Mila something could-"

Mila interrupts him, "Think positive. Anyways I'm the only one who knows at least two of these guys. I'll be far away and out of trouble."

Peter groans running his hands down his face, "This is so bad."

"Peter you're Spider-Man... you look out for the city... why can't someone look out for you?"

"I don't like this."

"Well that's too bad."

Mj bites her lips as Mila walks over and hugs her, "You make me worried already and we haven't even known each other for more than a day."

Mila smiles, "Ditto weird universe little sister."

"Seriously, be careful."

"I'm just going to help him with the math of everything. I swear any slight twinge of bad news and I'm outta there."

"You better be or I'm coming back for you."

Mila's heart skips a beat fearfully, "No don't!... It's okay. I promise I'll leave before that happens."

Mj looks confused at Mila's sudden emotion change but holds up a pinky, "Swear?"

"Swear."

...

Click, click, click.

The door of Happy Hogan's apartment is unlocked. From the viewpoint of the entrance security camera, we see Peter opening the door as the villains enter Happy's living space in the following order: Norman, Otto, Max - who glances menacingly at the camera for a second, causing it to glitch, and finally Flint. The last ones to come in before Peter is Aunt May who holds Mila's arm as she takes a cautious look around.

"Where's Connors?" Peter looks in confusion.

May shrugs, "He told me he wants to stay in the truck."

Peter follows them inside, "Okay."

'Alarm systems, deactivated.'

Young Peter proceeds to close the door.]

"Okay. I feel kinda bad using Happy's place like this."

May shakes her head, "No, no, no, no. He'll get over it."

Electro fires a dim pulse of energy at the TV, causing it to turn on. On the news we see that the majority of American society - 67% - has voted against the addition of Captain America's shield to the Statue of Liberty in a national plebiscite. Sandman sits down on the couch, immediately leaving some dirt on it.

"Oh, sorry." He tries to remove it, soiling it even more.

Mila slaps her hand over her head, "Oh brother."

Octavius looks around bemused, "So this is your plan, Peter? Mmm? No lab, no facilities, just performing miracles in a condominium? What, you're gonna cook up some cures, some frozen burritos in a microwave?"

Osborn stands tinkering with the Dum-E robot, "I could go for a burrito."

Smiling Mila nods agreeing, "Us too."

Osborn grins pointing to Mila, "See. So it's settled."

Octavius rolls his eyes, "He's gonna kill us all."

Peter sighs, "Well, let's hope not. You're up first, Doc."

He heads to his room next door.

"What?" Otto replies yelling after him, "Hey, I told you. I don't need fixing. I don't need fixing! Especially by a teenager using scraps from a bachelor's junk drawer."

Electro walks up, clearly interested in whatever is in the other room.

"No, no, no, no. He got something back there. I can feel it. Weird energy..."

Mila stands and walks over to Max. She stands in front of him and crossed her arms over her chest looking at him with a raised brow.

"You stay away from that weird energy. You start acting coo coo when you find more electricity. We need Max right now, not Electro. Understood?"

Max looks down at the young girl and chuckles before backing away, "Got it."

Inside his room, Peter walks up to the covered rectangular box-like object from earlier. He removes the sheet, revealing an elaborate device made by Stark Industries.

"What the hell is that?" Osborn frowns.

"It's a fabricator." Spider-Man presses a button on its surface, causing it to unfold into what can be called a household engineering lab. "It can analyze, design, construct... basically anything."

May tilts her head confused, "I thought that was the tanning bed Happy broke."

From one of the device's recesses springs the Arc Reactor. It catches Electro's attention, his eyes briefly glow yellow.

"Look at that."

"What the hell did I just say? Don't look at that."

The device finishes unfolding itself. Upon the Arc Reactor's activation, a sudden outburst of energy destroys one of the kitchen closets, causing Doc Ock, still in the living room, to flinch in fear.

Octavius visibly frightened, "He's gonna kill us all."

Outside, the FEAST truck abruptly shakes, startling two random passerbies. The Lizard is definitely having a great time. Back in the apartment, Peter and Norman are standing next to the fabricator, with the former explaining the intricacies of Octavius' tentacles to the latter, using the visual symbols and semi-tangible 3D models, the staple of Stark Industries technology.

"So, the chip in the back of Doc's neck was designed to protect his brain from the A.I. system that's controlling these tentacles. But if you look here... The chip is fried. So rather than him being in control of the tentacles, the tentacles are now in control of him. Which, I guess explains why... he is so miserable all the time."

May walks up to Doctor Octopus with a glass hand shaking, "Thirsty?"

"Well, yes. I am thirsty."

"Fresh water or salt? You know, because you're an octopus."

Mila snorts from the side of the room laughing as Otto frowns confused.

"What?"

May beat starts walking away, "Fresh water it is."

Max stares out of the window, observing the alternate New York he's in, "Look at this place. And all the possibilities."

Flint stands beside him holding a framed photo, "What? This condo?"

Max grins sarcastic, "Yeah. yeah, the condo. I love the whole overfloor plan." He rolls his eyes and speaking normal while stroking his beard, "No. No, man. I'm talking about the world. I kinda like who I am here. And all that power back there... I could be so much more. So why did you come here?"

"I have a daughter. And I wanna see her. But he's not gonna send anyone home. Till he's finished his little science project back there."

"You trust him?"

Flint shakes his head, "I don't trust anyone. How'd you end up like that anyway?"

"Oh, the place where I worked at... They were experimenting with electricity created by living organisms, and then... I fell into a vat of electric eels."

"You're kidding. I fell into a supercollider."

"Damn." Max replies shaking his head, "Gotta be careful where you fall."

Flint nods then glances over at Mila who seemed to be watching Max very carefully.

"So who is she to you?"

Max follows Flint's gaze then sighs and looks back out the window. He looks visibly upset now.

"My long lost niece. My sister left home and had another life. I wasn't included. Aspen died before she could even tell me about her. I met her on accident. When I was this..." He gestures to his new self, "I was a nobody. A loser. Let people run over me. She came in I expected her to do the same, but she was sweet from the beginning."

"She is a very caring person."

"Mhm... When I became Electro I was so mad. So angry at the world, at my job, at myself... went out to the city looking for help but only got police trying to take me down. Then Spider-Man comes in." Max shakes his head smiling painfully, "Man I loved that guy. He was everything I wanted to be before. He came in, distracted me and I got shot-"

"What does this have to do with her?" Flint frowns slightly lost.

"I-I before Spider-Man came in. Mila stopped the police. She came over and talked to me. I accidentally... I didn't mean to... Sparked a car and it flew over to her. Spider-Man showed up just in time. I felt bad then I saw her talking to him like she knew him. It felt like she was in it too. Like she really didn't care but just wanted me put down."

"What happened?"

"I went haywire. Chaos everywhere. Got stopped by Spider-Man. I saw her... she looked sad, disappointed..."

"Wouldn't she be disappointed again if you let the past repeat?... Like I said I have a daughter. I would give anything to see her. But I let my emotions get in the way. I became the villain. You're going to lose her."

Flint walks away leaving Max to think alone. Max looks out the window then back at Mila who is now reading a magazine rubbing her belly. Smiling softly, Max walks over and sighs before sitting down beside her.

Mila peeks over at him and frowns, "What's wrong with you?"

"Just thinking."

"About what?"

Max lets out a heavy sigh, "Everything. All my life I was worthless. Got ran over by everyone. When I became Electro I was somebody."

"You were somebody to me when you were Max. Electro is a bad guy... I know you feel some kind of power, but family and friends are way more powerful than anything. How do you think each Peter in three universes stopped all of you guys? Max... I love you but I can't put myself in danger because of it." Mila rubs her belly shaking her head with teary eyes, "It's not fair to them... my baby, my Peter. I put myself into horrible situations when I was younger. I can't do that anymore. You go Electro... I won't be there to stop Peter. I don't know what plans you have going on but I'm sure I can guess. So you do what you gotta do, but stay far away from me."

Max watches as Mila slowly gets up from the couch and walks over to May in the kitchen who immediately rubs her back.

Back in Peter's room, him and Norman are preparing the neural inhibitor chip. Osborn watches in fascination as young Parker carefully aligns pieces, completing the device.

Osborn stands admiring, "Remarkable. The technology and you. When all this is over, if you need a job and you're willing to commute to another universe..."

Peter puts the last element in its place. The chip is finally ready. Both he and Norman smile in delight.

Peter grins in awe, "It worked. That totally worked!"

He rushes back to the living room, showing the device to May, "I got it. I did it. I did it. Will you send him up?"

"Yup. Here we go."

Peter runs upstairs, onto the mezzanine, while May controls the holographic device, sending Octavius upwards.

"Sorry."

"Hold on, Doc!"

May lifts Doctor Octopus to Peter's level.

"Oh, will all these humiliations never cease?! You!" Otto notices Peter is about to "fix" him, "Keep your science fair project away from me!"

"Hey, it will work. Have faith." Osborn says trying to calm him.

"Says the reckless fool who turned himself into a monster."

Norman goes silent, evidently subdued and somewhat offended.

Peter sighs, "Please stop. Hold still."

"Don't you dare!"

May, Norman, Mila, Max and Flint watch in suspense as Spider-Man struggles to immobilize Doc Ock's head.

"I swear... when I get out of this, we're gonna rip you a..."

Parker finally manages to place the chip on his neck. Doc's head sinks down, as if he's a robot being powered down.

"Doc?" Peter looks beat, as he speaks softer, "Doc? Doc? Doctor Octa-"

Otto's head quickly lifts up. He breathes heavily, it's as if he has woken up from a heavy nightmare.

"It's so quiet... Those voices... Inside my head..." He whispers before gasping, tearing up, "I-I'd almost forgotten..."

"Otto."

"Yes... Norman." He descends and stops on the floor, with a joyful expression all over his face, "It's me."

Peter jumps back down.

Flint stares with admiration, "Would you look at that."

Spider-Man slides his fingers against the nanotech remote control for the last time, and one of Otto's tentacles pulls forward, pressing against Peter's chest, transferring the stolen metal particles back to their owner. Programmable metal melds with the fabric of Peter's uniform, creating the one and only Integrated Suit. It has some really impressive looking golden patterns, thanks to the nanotech.

"I'm grateful, dear boy. Truly."

They shake hands.

"Yeah. You're welcome."

"How can I help?"

...

In the living room, Peter prepares to start curing Electro with a newly constructed electricity drainer.

"Okay... Umm... It just goes right here, this..." Max looks at him suspiciously as Parker embeds the drainer on his chest. The device hums, stagnates, clicks and beeps, signifying the start of its procedure. "That should be drawing power now. I'm gonna come back in a second just to check on it, but... keep an eye on the lights. When they're all green, it means all the electricity in your body's dissipated. Well, not all the electricity. I mean, obviously you know you need electricity for your brain to function... Your nervous system is... I'm not really sure why I'm explaining electricity to you."

Max shakes his head, not sure why Peter is doing that either.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Are these your legos?"

Before he can respond, Peter hears a sound from the fabricator. It's the anti-collider for Sandman, which has just finished its initial construction stage.

"I gotta go. I'll be back."

He leaves. Electro is left in the living room with Sandman. As the electricity sapper ignites the first light with a beep, he hisses, as if the thing is inflicting pain on him.

"Something feels off." Max whispers.

Flint frowns, "What do you mean?"

A slow, unnerving energy creeps in, starting to build tension, which is only going to rise from now on.

"I don't like this."

"Leave it alone. The sooner you guys get through with this, the sooner we go home."

Mila walks over to Young Peter's room of toys and stands at the doorframe.

Peter glances over at her and smiles, "Everything is working."

"Good! I'm so proud of you little Pete."

Peter shakes his head laughing to himself, "I guess it's starting to stick."

"I knew it would."

Peter nods before sighing and looking up at her expectingly. She rolls her eyes smiling before nodding and backing away to the front door.

"Understood."

Peter follows her to the front door, "I'm sorry I just want to make sure safe. We're about to work on Mr. Osborn soon. And I don't- I don't really know..."

Mila rubs her hand down his arm giving him a reassuring smile, "You have a guy feeling? Stick with it. Listen to your intuition. Your spider senses."

Peter nods, "I just... I don't know how to help him."

"He has to help himself first. And he has to fully want it. That's not on you."

"Yeah... thanks Mila."

"Of course."

"Okay so I already put the address to Ned's house in your phone. Once you get there tell them what's going on here and that I'll be there in a bit."

Mila nods, "You be careful. Understand?"

"Yes ma'am."

Mila raises an eyebrow, "Please don't call me that. It makes me feel old."

Young Peter chuckles, "Sorry."

Mila smiles lightly before bringing her hand up to his face and lightly rubbing his cheek with her thumb, "You're gonna do fine. Believe in yourself. You got this kiddo."

Young Peter grins turning a shade red, "You're such a mom."

Mila scoffs happily rubbing her belly, "Thank you."

Mila waves goodbye as she finally walks down the empty hallway to the elevator. She goes down to the first floor and quickly makes her way out the building.

On the way to Ned's she hears a loud explosion and turns around staring at the building she just left in shock, Mila slowly starts to back away, "Everything is so not okay."

Mila runs to Ned's house hoping to catch up with the two and praying that Young Peter and May would be okay.

...

Back in the apartment, Peter is tinkering with the anti-collider when his Spider-Sense Tingle goes off, sending warning signs from every direction. Peter stands up, with Otto and Osborn tailing behind him.

Octavius sounds muffled as Peter tunes into his senses, "Peter?"

"What's wrong?" Osborn says.

"I don't know. May?"

They move through the corridor and enter living space. May is holding a scented candle

"What is it, Peter?"

Flint stands confused, "What's happening?

Norman, his face neutral, walks over to the window in the back.

Max raises a brow as Peter glances at him, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Peter closes his eyes, focusing his instincts. Norman moves to the side of the room, with Octavius watching him closely. The tension rises further and further, until Peter fires a web at Norman's hand, sticking it against DUM-E. Norman smiles creepily, his other side is now in control.

Green Goblin smirks, "That's some neat trick, that sense of yours."

Octavius stares confused, "Norman?"

Green Goblin's grin widens, "Norman's on sabbatical, honey."

Max looks creeped out, "The hell?"

"The Goblin..."

"No more darker half?" He says as May moves to the kitchen, "Did you really think that I'd let that happen? That I'd let you take away my power, just because you're blind to what true power can bring you?"

"You don't know me."

"Don't I?"

May grabs the anti-collider and both serums from a stash, and puts it in a bag.

"I saw how she trapped you, fighting her... holy moral mission."

May returns to the living space.

"We don't need you to save us. We don't need to be fixed!" Goblin looks over to Max, "These are not curses. They're gifts."

Max looks down at his drainer. It's two bars away from ridding him of his power. Mila had completely left his mind. Goblin was right. He was given a gift. He was given power.

Octavius shakes his head, "Norman, no."

"Quiet, lapdog."

Peter frowns, "You don't know what you're talking about."

"I watched you from deep behind Norman's cowardly eyes. Struggling, to have everything you want, while the world tries to make you choose."

Another beep. The drainer has nearly completed its procedure.

"Gods don't have to choose."

Max looks at his device again, a slight glimmer of Mila flashes in his head before his brain fully drops anything and everything that had to do with Max.

"We take."

"May... run."

May turns around and runs as Max removes the drainer from his chest. Norman maliciously tears the webbing away, freeing himself. Electro steps forward, fires a lightning bolt and pulls the Arc Reactor towards him, frying the Stark fabricator in the process, much to Otto and Peter's shock. Osborn takes advantage, slamming Parker against the stairs. Flint, knowing the jig is up, takes the third option and turns into sand, flying out of the window. Electro's newly enhanced power causes a momentary blackout in the building, freezing the elevators which May is unable to use right now.

Doctor Octopus looks at Max with dread, "Oh, my God. What have you done?"

Max smirks eyes shining, "I liked you better before."

He fires a stream of electricity towards Octavius, sending him flying through the apartment wall. Otto starts to fall to his death, but he's able to grab the side of the building with his mechanical tentacles, still intact due to their anti-magnetic properties.

Using his claws, Octavius, knowing there's nothing he can do, scurries away along several nearby buildings. Meanwhile, May takes the fire escape, quickly descending to the groundfloor. Electro ignites, lightning and electricity exuding from every inch of his fiber.

Max and Sandman create a thunderous sandstorm, which traps the newly arrived policemen, reporters and Jameson inside. The side of the F.E.A.S.T. van rips open, preceded by two claw marks. The Lizard breaks through and runs away, confusing Jameson the paper report.

"Did you see that?"

Dillon and Marko split in opposite directions, a cloud of sand and a deadly lightning tearing through the night sky of Long Island. Meanwhile, May continues her descent as Peter and Norman beat the shit out of each other.

Unfortunately, the kid is unable to gain the upper hand, being thrown through windscreens constantly. Even when he manages to lift the Goblin in the air and slam him down through a story to a lower one with his feet, his opponent quickly regains advantage, when Peter tries to web away.

"No, you don't!"

He smashes Peter through another window. All is recorded by the Daily Bugle helicopter. The fight moves to a hallway. Peter enters it by being thrown by Norman and smashing a wall, while Osborn simply busts another wall and walks in like a boss.

"Strong enough to have it all..."

Parker rises up, grabs a piece of the wall and hurls it at the Goblin, to no avail. The maniac grabs and holds him place

"...too weak to take it!"

He hits Peter, knocking away a few meters. Peter gets back up, leaps and performs a flying triangle choke on Green Goblin, pinning him to a nearby wall and hitting him repeatedly. But the Goblin absolutely no-sells this, smiling more and more with each hit. Peter freezes as the corrupted Osborn cackles maniacally in his face. Peter hits him a few more times, but Norman simply unpins himself and performs a stunning powerbomb/spinebuster sending Peter crashing through another floor.

After looking down on his adversary lying in quiet pain, Osborn turns around and leaves from sight. Peter gets back up and starts hobbling, holding his ribs. He smashes a window with his webbing and climbs outside, sticking to the side of the building to catch a break, breathing heavily. Realizing he's being lit by the Daily Bugle helicopter, Parker looks down and sees a familiar face below, on the ground.

Jameson stands smiling, "Now I've gotcha."

The Lizard springs out of nowhere and grabs Peter by his chest, "I told you there'd be consequences!"

He flings Peter through another window and scurries away. Norman takes over the fight again. He tosses Peter against the hallway's ceiling and grabs him, performing yet another masterful body slam with such force they both fall down, crashing through multiple stories.

May reaches the end of the fire escape, making it to the lobby just as Peter and Norman arrive there, crashing in front of the lobby's front door, surrounded by heaps of debris. When the dust vanishes and the smoke clears, we see the Goblin leaning over a near-unconscious Parker. The Green Goblin places his hands on Peter's neck and squeezes.

Goblin growls, "Your weakness, Peter, is morality. It's choking you! Can you feel it?!"

May quickly runs towards Osborn and plunges the injector meant to cure him into his neck. After letting out a ghastly scream, he pulls it out and throws it to the ground. The antidote wasn't finished.

Goblin grunts, "It didn't work. Norman was right. He got it from you." He angrily stomps on Peter's back, "That pathetic sickness!"

He then pulls the helpless young man up by his head, forcing him to look at his aunt as May grabs a pieces of rebar from the broken entrance ceiling.

"You tried to fix me..."

Peter pleads weakly, "May, go... May..."

"Now... I'm gonna fix you."

The Goblin's glider descends upon the lobby, positioning itself right behind May.

"May, run, please..."

May swings the rebar and the Goblin Glider accelerates, flying through the front doors with a devastating smash, and strikes her, sending her to the ground.

"May!"

The glider circles through the destroyed lobby and plaza. The Green Goblin jumps on its top, his demonic presence at an all time high.

"Peter, Peter, Peter... No good deed goes unpunished. You can thank me later."

The Goblin spares a glance towards where May lies, nearly motionless, on the ground, breathing weakly. Spider-Man realizes what's about to happen just as Osborn sets the timer on a Pumpkin Bomb grenade, throwing it towards Peter's fallen guardian.

"No!"

Osborn then takes off as Peter leaps towards the explosive and manages to barely deflect it before it detonates, knocking him away. Flying away, Norman throws another projectile towards the remaining cops. The bomb goes off and, while nobody dies, it absolutely razes the plaza, pulverizes and sets the lobby on fire through a series of orange and green explosions. At the end, the broken entrance ceiling collapses to the ground in flames. May and Peter slowly get back up on their feet, still recovering and coughing.

"May?"

"Peter..."

"May, I'm here."

May runs over and hugs him tightly.

"I'm here. Are you okay?" Peter asks.

"Uh-huh."

"Are you okay?"

"Uh-huh!"

May releases him, then stumbles over her own feet.

"It's okay. We're okay, right?" Peter replies.

May replies thinly feeling nothing, "Uh-huh. Yeah. Just knocked on my ass..."

"Yeah, me too."

"That's all."

Peter hisses in pain, "I think I broke my ribs."

They stand together in the wreckage for a few moments.

"This is all my fault, May."

"N-No."

"I should've just listened to Strange and let him send them back..."

"You did the right thing. They would have been killed. You did the right thing."

"It's not my responsibility, May."

"Oh. What N-Norman said? 'My moral mission'? No."

"No, May, you don't..."

"No. No, Peter. Listen. You listen to me. You have a gift. You have power. And with great power, there must also come great responsibility."

"Yeah. I know."

May nods, "Let's get the hell out of here. I just... need to... catch..."

She collapses to the ground, just as a team of SWAT members arrives, ready to apprehend Peter. They secure the place.

Peter's heart beats fast as he looks at his Aunt in worry, "What happened? Are you okay? Yeah, you're okay. What happened?"

May tries to smile with utmost effort, "Just help me... to catch my breath..."

"Okay. Well, catch your breath. I'm right here. We're gonna take our time, you catch your breath, and... and we'll take you to a doctor, okay?"

He takes his fingers off her shoulder and notices in fear they're covered in blood. He looks at her in tears.

"What is it?"

Peter ignores her as tears start to fall down his face, "Somebody help! I need an ambulance! Please, somebody..."

May frowns not understanding, "What happened?"

"Nothing. You're okay. You're okay."

"I'll just... catch my breath..."

"Okay. I'm right here. I'm right here. I'm right here. We're okay. Just me and you."

Suddenly, May stops breathing.

"May? May? Will you look at me, May? Please? May? May? What are you doing, May? Please, will you just wake up and talk to me, please?"

Happy Hogan arrives in his car. He looks at Peter and May and he... just knows. The SWAT members make him step out of the car and pin him to the bonnet. They start closing in on Spider-Man too, their weapons ready to fire.

"Peter! Run!" Happy yells.

Peter sits shaking, crying, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

"Run!"

The SWAT members shoot at Peter, forcing him to leave May in the destroyed front yard. As she finally rests in peace, one final tear glides down her cheek.

Cut to a live report of the battle by J. Jonah Jameson.

"Tragedy. What else can I call it? What more need be said? The damage... The destruction... You saw it with your own eyes. When will people wake up, and realize that everywhere Spider-Man goes... chaos and calamity ensue. Everything Spider-Man touches comes to ruin. And we, the innocents, are left to pick up the pieces."

As cold November rain pours down his face, blending with the tears, Peter watches Jameson's report on a bilboard. He slowly comes to a realization that JJJ may have a point.

"J. Jonah Jameson, reporting. Good night. And God help us all."

...

Ned and MJ sit in Ned's apartment as Ned's grandmother, Lola, serves them dinner. They all watch the news in terror in despair.

"...and we can confirm at least one person has been killed."

Mj frowns, "Still nothing?"

Ned shakes his head, "No."

Mj thinks about Mila and May. What if they were in danger?

"I'm gonna press it."

"What? No!"

"Peter told me to wait, but... I'm gonna do it."

"I just wish... I just wish that we could see him." He makes a gesture with Dr Strange's ring, creating some sparkles in the air.

Mj stares with wide eyes, "Ned?"

"Yeah?"

"Do that again."

"Yeah. I just wish we could see him. Okay... I just wish we could see Peter."

He creates a whole portal at which end appears a figure wearing a Spider-Man costume.

Ned's Grandmother screams out, "Salamangkero!"

"You're right. I am magic."

Mj looks at the figure confused, "Is that him?"

"Yeah, yeah. It has to be."

"Peter. Peter!"

"Hey, Peter!"

"Peter!"

The lanky yet muscled stranger runs towards the portal. Mj and Ned, grow worried as the suited figure jumps through the portal to reveal -- THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Ned's Lola screams, standing in the doorway.

"Hi. Hi!"

She throws a pillow at the variant Spidey, hitting him square in the chest.

"No, no, no. It's okay, it's okay. I'm a nice guy."

Despite the hero's protests, she runs off. He takes his mask off, revealing his very slightly bearded face. He holds his hands out in front of him, getting his bearings.

"Okay..."

Mj stares with wide eyes, "Who the hell are you?"

"I'm Peter Parker."

"That's not possible."

"I am Spider-Man... in my world. But then, yesterday, I was... I was just here. Wow..."

Peter begins backing himself into a corner near the fridge, counting off his fingers.

"String theory... Multidimensional reality... And matter displacement. All real?"

Ned and Mj nod slowly, "Yeah..."

"Knew it!"

Ned turns to MJ, whispering, "This has to be because of the spell."

"The spell? Like magic spell?" Peter asks.

"There's no spell."

"No spell. No."

Peter ignores them and looks around, "Magic's real here, too?"

"I mean.."

"Shut up, Ned. No, it's not real. Shut up."

"I mean... There's magicians and stuff, but there's no like..."

"Stop it. Stop." She turns to the taller Spiderman and nods once to him, "Prove it."

"Prove what?"

"That you're Peter Parker."

"I don't carry an ID with me, it kinda defeats the whole 'I'm a superhero' thing."

Michelle chucks a piece of bread at the alternate universe Peter and quickly adopts a ninja pose.

Peter shrugs, "Why'd you do that?"

"I was trying to see if you had the tingle thing."

"I have the tingle thing, just not for bread."

Mj picks up another roll.

"Can you not throw the... the bread again? You're a deeply mistrusting person... and I respect it."

Peter lightly hops towards the ceiling and sticks to it with his hand. Michelle points towards him, then fidgets, "Crawl around."

Peter raises a brow, "Crawl around?"

"Yes!"

"No..."

"Yes, crawl around!"

"Why do I need to crawl around?"

"'Cause it's not enough."

"This is plenty."

"No, it's not!"

"Yes, it is."

"No, it's not."

"It is."

"Nuh-uh."

Peter sighs rubbing his temple, "How do I stick to the ceiling?"

Michelle throws another roll at him.

"Do it."

She picks up another roll. Peter shakes his head confused at what was happening.

"Ned? Sabihin mo dyan sa mamang yan na alisin yung agiw sa sulok, ha?"

Ned smiles, "Lola is asking if you can just get the cobweb, there."

Peter looks towards it and sighs in exasperation.

"Since you're, like, up there?"

"Yeah!... sure."

Peter places his mask in his mouth and crawls towards the cobweb before dusting it off the ceiling.

"Thank you." The grandmother replies.

Peter drops to the ground, dusting himself off, "We go-" He takes the mask out of his mouth, "We good?"

Mj shrugs, "For now."

Peter shakes his head chuckling, "What's your name?"

"Michelle."

"Huh... you remind me of someone from my world."

Mj frowns, "Who? Another Michelle?"

"No my wife..."

Mj pauses and looks at the taller version of Peter Parker and tilts her head. She looks at the ring bulge on his finger before her snaps up looking at the confused man.

"Who is your wife?"

Peter opens his mouth to reply but freezes as he begins to feel a sense.

...

"Yes I have the tingly sensation, just not for bread."

Mila stands back and laughs as the three finish. After climbing down from the wall, Peter is wiping his hands off and starts to feel his heart beat faster. Not as if there was trouble near but for another reason which he had come to love.

Snapping his head over to the front door he sees Mila smiling at him, "Hey pretty girl."

Mila pouts before running up to him and kissing his cheeks, "Where have you been?"

Peter rubs her back before grabbing her face with both his hands kissing her forehead, "Where have I been? Where have you been? Last I know I was on the phone with you and you just stopped talking. I went to our apartment and you were nowhere to be found."

"I don't know. I was pulled here for some reason. God I was so scared. I missed you."

"I missed you too pretty girl... I'm here now."

The two kiss passionately completely forgetting that anyone else was in the room. Mj shifts awkwardly, as Ned's gran stares at the two aweing, as Ned grins as if this was the best day of his life.

"Peter where's Eli? Where's my baby?"

"It's okay... don't worry he's with JT."

"You left my baby with JT?!"

Peter chuckles, "You do realize JT is a grown man. He's only a few years younger than us."

Mila glares at Peter for a moment, "So? Last time I picked up Eli from JT, my baby's whole face was blue."

"JT said they were playing blue men with Howard and Simon."

"Oh my gosh... I can't-"

"Baby relax. I knew you would freak out so I called Aunt May to go check on all the boys."

"Oh... He's okay? You promise?"

"He's fine. Ror he's nine years old. He's a big boy."

"Well he's still my baby."

"Speaking of babies... How's she doing? She okay?" Peter says as he kneels down to rub Mila's belly, "How's my favorite girl?"

"Winnie is fine."

Peter kisses her belly as Mila runs her hands through his hair, "Good how about her mom. My other favorite girl?"

"Oh so I'm the other favorite. Second best?"

Peter grins, "Never said that... I love you."

"Mhmm." Mila peeks his cheek.

A throat clears making the two jump away from one another.

Mj waves, "Hi we're uh still here."

Mila laughs awkwardly, "Oh... have y'all been watching that whole time."

Ned nods as if he was in a trance, "It's like watching a beautiful romance movie. I can't look away."

Ned's nana speaks making everyone freeze.

Ned smiles, "She's says pretend we're not even here."

Mila grimaces, "Yeah the moment is over..."

Mj nods and points to the new Peter, "So this is your husband?"

Mila grins patting his chest as he kisses her head of hair, "Yes this is my Peter. I call him Petey boy. He calls me pretty girl. Isn't he so cute?"

"Very."

Mila smiles holding Peter's hand, "So what are we doing right now."

Mj shrugs, "Ned accidentally used Strange's ring to make him appear."

Mila nods, "Okay..."

Ned frowns, "So... I opened the wrong portal to the wrong Peter Parker?"

"Yeah. I guess you just keep doing it until you find the real one."

"Ouch."

"No offense."

Mila laughs as Peter frowns, "She's like a mini you."

Ned holds his hands out in front of him and begins to make a portal, "Find Peter Parker."

Ned conjures another portal behind him, leading to a rooftop overlooking the Empire State building. An even older version Peter Parker steps through.

"Great, so it's just some random guy?" Ned throws up his hands annoyed.

"Hello! Um... I hope it's okay," He turns around, portal shrinks and vanished, "I just came through this, uh... It just closed."

"You're Peter?" Mj questions.

"Yeah. Peter... Parker? I-I've seen you two..."

Peter looks towards Ned's grandmother, who waves slyly at him. He waves back, "Hi."

Older Peter and Mila's Peter catch each other's attention, standing opposite each other.

"Wait, he's... He's not your friend..."

Mila looks between the two and rolls her eyes, "Oh great... I'll be over here."

As Mila moves a few steps away, the two men stare each other down for a tense moment before Peter shoots a web. Older Peter does the same and they both flip over it, with Peter landing on the table. Peter shoots another web towards Older Peter and covers one of his web shooters. Peter nods in astonishment and Older Peter smiles back before Peter jumps off the table.

Ned frowns, "Wait, so you're Spider-Man, too? Why didn't you just say that?"

"Uh, I don't go around generally advertising it. It kinda defeats the whole 'anonymous superhero' thing."

Peter moves back over to Mila with his hand resting on her back as he nods, "That's what I just said..."

Mj agrees, "That's what he just said."

Ned's Grandmother speaks once more making Ned nod.

"My Lola's asking if you could clean up the webs that you just shot."

"Oh. Sorry, Lola." Peter replies making Mila smile.

Older Peter nods as well, "Yes, of course."

"I'm going to bed."

Ned smiles, "Good night, Lola."

Mj waves, "Good night... Ned's Lola."

Older Peter looks to Mila and tilts his head confused, "Who is this?"

Mila smiles waving, "Hey! I'm Mila Parker. Nice to meet you."

"Parker?" Older Peter looks down at her swollen belly, then her ringed finger, then back to the tall adult peter.

"Yeah he's my boo. Kinda stuck with me since he's my baby daddy."

Peter shakes his head chuckling to himself at his wife, "Husband. Baby daddy makes me sound like a dead beat dad that doesn't want to pay child support."

Older Peter nods, "Kinda does."

Mila grins, "Oh believe me, he pays for everything for the kids. He's a sugar daddy for sure. Wait! Important question... is there a Mila in your universe?"

Older Peter frowns thinking before shaking his head, "I don't think so."

Mila smirks nodding towards her baby daddy, "Hm guess that means I'm one in a million."

"You're right about that, Ror."

Mila then thinks for a moment and frowns. She looks at her Peter then at Mj then at the Older Peter.

"Hold on... do you have a Gwen?"
U
"Uh yeah I had relations with her during college but it didn't go further than that."

Mila nods. She knew young Peter had a Gwen as well but he didn't talk to her since high school. Now he was heading to college. So that meant...

Pointing towards Mj, Mila grimaces, "How about an Mj? Cute Peter has Michelle. You both had a Gwen. Well all three of you."

Michelle frowns for a moment thinking about what Mila just said. All three peters had Gwen. Had. What happened to Mila's Peter's Gwen.

"So you must have an Mj too?"

Older Peter nods with a smile, "I do."

Mila gasps dramatically making her Peter groan and rub his forehead.

"Now you did it."

"What did I do?"

"Just wait for it..."

"Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me?! Baby you're supposed to be with the Mj. It all makes sense now. I don't exist in any other universe. Mj does. And all the Peter have an Mj. You two are meant to be. Now you're going to leave and go marry her. And I'll be alone with the kids-"

Peter rolls his eyes and kisses her softly making her shut up.

"Breathe... I'm not going anywhere."

"But Mj..."

"Ror, you're my Mj. If all of us Peter's have a girl that we love and care about it. Then it's you to me. I'm not replacing you. I'm not turning my head. It's always you. It always has been."

Mila smiles softly, "Really?"

Peter rolls his eyes, "You give me headaches."

"But you love me."

"That I do."

Ahhhhh yall!! It's finally donee!! How do we feel?! So happy I was able to get this out to you guys!! Almost 9k words 😳🤗 I wanted to make sure you guys have enough to read. And make sure you guys know I'm super grateful and sorry that it takes me so long.

I do have a lot going on in life at the moment. Going to school for criminal justice, just became a General Manger, and moved into my own apartment. So life is hectic. But I love to read and write so much always have, so I will never stop. I will continue to get these chapters out when I can!

If there's a story you're reading and it's not updated yet, that problem means I'm in re-reading mode. I read the story over again once or twice and then figure out where I was going with the story. Note some stories do have chapters already done but maybe I'm missing the one I need before that one. Most have many idea chapters that just need a couple before I can update. Or for example my Vampire Diaries book, I don't have anymore of the background story of Ana's life but I started the TVD show script part and the next season, The Originals. I have many random chapters for when I get ideas but I just need to fill in the gaps. So continue to be patient with me and I appreciate it so much.

Continue to comment as well and let me know how you guys are feeling throughout chapters!!

Favorite part so far?

Favorite character(s)?

Petey boy and Pretty girl are back together!! How does it feel?!?

Future predictions?

Any special requests...
