Peter and Garvenor threw mad hands at each other, creating ground splitting shockwaves. Garvenor had a crazy grin on its face as it grabbed Peter's leg and smashed him on the ground, just for the hero to get up the next second and give him a skull cracking blow.
"Hahahhaaahaha! Finally!!! Finally someone who can withstand my full power!!" Garvenor barked like a crazed man, lifting a huge rock and tossing it at Peter. He web zipped to the rock, placed his feet on it and pushed himself forward. He then followed up with a web line to the same rock, tossing it towards Garvenor. With an arrogant smirk, Garvenor head butted the rock, destroying it in the process. Peter appeared in front of him, his fist glowing dark blue, as strong currents of bioelectricity formed a large gauntlet.
"Well that's new!" Garvenor laughed, throwing a punch of his own, his fist covered in purple crystals.
BOOMM!!
Speedy grabbed a tree to stop himself from being pushed back. Raising his head, he saw a huge wave of lightning coming his way.
"OH SHIT!" He cursed, speeding away from danger.
Peter threw a backflip, dodging a laser beam from Garvenor, before shooting webs at it and pulling himself closer, landing a Superman punch.

May and Gary sat in the living room in silence.
"May, you don't have to worry okay? Peter will be fine. He's not a kid anymore."
"I know.....it's really late and he's been gone for hours now."
"Who knows, the boy might be having the time of his life." Gary said with a mischievous smirk.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Peter groaned in pain as a laser beam burst through his stomach.
He rolled just in time to dodge Garvenor's leg, which was aimed at his head.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
"Besides," Gary continued "this is the time where they start becoming rebellious and want to try new things. I just hope his girlfriend is cute because I don't need a hideous nephew or niece."
"Gary! Peter's not like that. Why isn't he picking up my calls?"
Gary shook his head at his over anxious friend. He knew Peter was fine.

MJ rolled in her bed, unable to sleep. With a groan she tossed her pillow at the door, jumping to her feet. He changed from her nightwear to some casual clothes and left the house. Her father wasn't home, he was probably drunk in some random bar.
She strolled down the quiet street, whistling to her self. Looking up, she saw what looked like a shootout star, but it was descending. She was so mesmerized by the sight that she didn't notice the lady who was in front of her.
Soon, they bumped into each other.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" She apologized, helping her pick up her stuff that fell.
"Anna, are you okay?" A male voice asked from behind.
"I'm fine Otto, just wasn't looking at where I was going." Anna replied with a little smile. Otto walked towards her and saw MJ.
Upon seeing him, MJ froze. Even though she wasn't a nerd like Peter, she knew this man because Peter was always ranting about him.
"You're Dr Otto Octavius!" She yelled in surprise.
"Oh....you know me?"
"Uhhh...no....it's my best friend! He won't stop talking about you and your research. Especially how close you are to recreating the sun!"
"Recreating the sun?" Otto asked with a laugh, "That isn't exactly what I'm doing but it's kinda close."
"I'm sure you're a fan, but Otto and I have somewhere we need to be, so maybe you'll see some other time!" Anna said, pulling Otto away.
"Yeah...I think Midtown High will be visiting Oscorp again. Maybe we'll see then." Otto said as Anna dragged him away.
MJ stood frozen as the couple hurriedly left her. Suddenly she turned towards them but they had already gone.
"How did he know I school at Midtown High?"
She continued her little stroll and soon got to the park. The gates were locked, so she looked round checking for any guards, before she swiftly climbed the gate and entered the park.
She walked to a bench near a little pond. It contained some harmless fish, who aimlessly floated around.
"I wish I could be free like you." She muttered, smiling sadly at one fish.

With a bicycle kick, Peter sent Garvenor flying. He then web zipped forward and slammed his fist on the villain's purple head.
Speedy watched in awe, as Spider-Man went toe to toe with a being that was obviously not from the planet.
He stared at his fist and laughed mockingly, thinking of how weak he was.
He ducked, dodging the laser that came his way. Looking up, he discovered that Garvenor wasn't even aiming at him. The villain had stopped paying attention to him, he was now an insignificant part of the battle.
"Might as well get something to drink. Fanta might be nice." He muttered to himself, running away. A few seconds later, he returned with a bottle of fanta which he drank, while sitting on a tree trunk.
Peter ducked, dodging a punch, he followed up with an upper cut, while Garvenor stabbed his leg with a crystal.
The brawl continued, till none of them bothered dodging.
They just threw punches like crazy men.
Peter's suit was destroyed, the little generator in his lightning themed spider symbol was long destroyed.
One of the lenses in his mask had broken, and some part of the mask was torn.
He clenched his fist, as black lightning coated it.
"What a weak body." He said, looking at his injured form.
Garvenor grinned, "I knew I wasn't fighting the same kid. Who are you?"
Peter looked up with a strange glint in his eyes, laughing a little.
"I will only tell you who I am if I deem you a worthy opponent."
Peter rushed forward, throwing a punch at it. He was a blur, barely visible. His fist connected to Garvenor's face, blasting its head off.
Its head grew back almost immediately, but Peter blasted it off again.
He webbed Garvenor and jumped into the sky, before slamming it into the ground. Then he web zipped himself down and landed a strong kick on its stomach, bursting a hole through it.
He followed up with a barrage of attacks, but then he paused as he was about to land what seemed to be the finishing blow.
"What's this? What the hell is this?" Peter yelled in anger. "Why can't I move!? Is this body that weak!?"
Garvenor frowned as it dragged itself away from Peter.
"Limitations from a mortal body huh? I once faced that challenge." Garvenor said.
Blood poured out of Peter's eyes, ears, nose and mouth as he collapsed on the ground.
Speedy wanted to run to help him, but he was scared of Garvenor.
"Ahh, well that was fun. But I can't play any longer..... tch." Garvenor said as it dragged itself away. "We'll have to play some other time."
'If that fight had lingered for a little while, I would've died.' it thought with a frown, staring at the hole in its stomach, which wasn't healing for some reason.

Anna and Otto sat in her living room chatting.
"Otto, there's something I wanna ask you."
"Sure, what is it?"
"So umm, I built an AI, but I didn't save connect it to my.....ummm..... computer?" She said the last part like she wasn't sure of what she was saying.
"Anna?"
"I need your help, to build the AI again."
"Well....umm, what was this AI connected to?"
"Uhhhhh....now that's the thing...."
"Anna, without the previous vessel of the AI we'll be creating a whole new entity. And I'm sure you don't want to lose your previous progress with the old one."
"Alright then, I was going to show either way. Follow me." She said, taking Otto to the WEB.
Otto frowned as he looked at the Spider-Man suits in pods.
"One is missing." He said, pointing at the pod that contained the electro suit.
Anna raised her head, and soon her eyebrows followed.
She immediately ran to the computer and typed some random stuff.
"What's he doing there?" She asked in shock, as she saw Peter's location on the monitor.
"Who?" Otto asked, though it was already obvious.
"Spider-Man."
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Speedy ran to Peter after he discovered that Garvenor had gone. He lifted Peter and noticed how limp his body was.
"You bloody coward." Peter said, before falling unconscious.
Speedy didn't know what to do, as he didn't want to risk Peter's identity being exposed if he took him to the hospital. So he took him to the one person he trusted.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Harry gasped as he jumped from his bed, waking up with a start. He had a nightmare, one that has been terrorizing him for weeks.
He left his room and walked towards another room, one with a suspicious looking door.
He typed a password in the keypad, before looking around and walking in. He entered into his own secret lab, glancing at the vials that contained different liquids.
His father didn't tell him but he knew he had his mother's disease. Now he was working tooth and nail to create a cure, or something that'll make him live longer.
He looked at the monitor, checking the readings on it.
It was the last serum he created and it looked relatively stable.
With a frown on his face, he picked up a syringe and filled it with the slightly glowing liquid. Taking a few deep breaths, Harry injected himself.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Alex's father looked at him with wide eyes. His eyes darted to the unconscious body of Spider-Man.
"A-Alex...what the hell?"
"Dad, he was dying, I couldn't just leave him there!"
"What exactly could cause this much damage to Spider-Man!?"
"It's a golem...dad, it's a long story! I'll explain everything once he's all patched up."
His father sighed and nodded at him, turning towards Peter. As he reached for his suit, Peter suddenly jerked up grabbing his hand and hitting the Spider-Man pose.
"JESUS!" Mr Smythe yelled in shock as he stumbled backwards.
"Where am I?" Peter asked, as he grabbed his spinning head. "G-Garvenor! Where is he?"
"He....uhhh...he left." Speedy stuttered, not expecting Peter to move.
"Left?"
"Yes. After you became unconscious he ran."
"Did you stop him?"
Speedy looked away, his facial expression speaking volumes.
"It's fine kid." Peter said, "We'll handle him next time. And I swear he won't get away next time."
"Who is Garvenor?" Mr Smythe asked, looking at Peter with raised brows.
"He.... uhhhh....I can't explain it. But I know that he isn't from this world."
"Spider-Man..."
Peter jumped from his bed, not wanting to waste any more time.
He walked to the window and shot a web line, then turned back to nod at Speedy before jumping outside and swinging away.
"Tch! I couldn't find out who was under the mask!" Mr Smythe hissed, walking away.
🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️
Peter took off his costume and changed to a shirt and jean trouser he stole from someone's clothes line.
"I wonder who'll leave their clothes outside by this time." He muttered as he put on the clothes, glad to find out that they were his size.
Looking round, he saw a bar which had a display of the time on its wall.
"It's 3am already!" He muttered, limping to his house. He soon stopped mid way, as he discovered that he had no excuse to give May.
So, he turned to the only place he could go; the WEB
He soon changed his direction and began limping towards the WEB. He got to Anna's house, jumped over the gate and walked to the back where he saw the door that led down. He opened it and entered the elevator, which took him down.
"Must be nice not having nosy neighbors, right Anna?" He asked as he walked in.
Anna looked up alarmed, as she wasn't alone. But Peter was prepared, cus he walked in with his mask.
"Good morning Dr Octavius." Peter greeted with a smile behind his destroyed mask.
"Spider-Man, nice to meet you."
