Stronger Together - Book 3 of the Spiderverse

Summary:

Peter Parker doesn't know where his powers came from or who his real parents are, but he uses his powers as the one/only Spider-Man (as far he knows). He thinks that things couldn't get any crazier for him when he met a man who could fly around the world in seconds. And then everything changed when he found out there was another Kryptonian; the Girl of Steel.

Chapter 1: Super Friends

Chapter Text

National City, the place Peter Parker has called home for the longest time. For the past ten years, he's been the one and only Spider-Man. The worlds most powerful crime fighter in the world. He doesn't know where these powers came from, it was like they just suddenly appeared one day out of nowhere. But he uses these extraordinary gifts to help people the best he can.

That is...until a certain hero in red, blue and a cape appeared. Then his whole world changed again, he wasn't the strongest out there, but he was happy to accept help from someone like Superman. Or as he also knows him as, Clark Kent. They once met during a crisis and actually got along pretty well.

Clark mostly stays in Metropolis so Peter never relies on him to come and save him. As for National City itself, Peter works with the DEO to handle with threats such as Superman. If, you know, one day he just decides to turn around and go evil. In fact, they made him a suit that's designed specifically to fight Kryptonians.

That's actually how he met his now girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. The short blonde haired mechanic he met during his visits to the DEO check out some gadgets they created for him. She works with him as his ears when he's out there fighting crime.

In the way of his family, Peter never really knew exactly where he was from since he was adopted into the Parker's. His adoptive parents died in a plane crash years ago before these powers of his emerged and then went to live with his adoptive aunt and uncle in the city. Then a few years after living with his uncle and aunt, his uncle was killed in a mugging. And a few months ago, his aunt had a heart attack and she couldn't keep going any longer.

The only tie to his real family he has is a necklace he is told he was found wearing that holds a image similar to a spider on it. But he has never learned what it could mean, so he uses it as his symbol on all of his suits. It's his signature look as much as the S is the big guys signature look.

The recent suit he's been given by them is a new suit made of iron, their newest attempt to nanotechnology and it's finally worked. The suit itself is a dark red, with dark blue pants and red boots, with a bit of gold surrounding it, and comes with his spider emblem dark blue all across his chest, and his web shooters are covered by golden gauntlets. It even had four mechanical legs that comes out of his back when he tells them to.

Peter also gets payed by the DEO so money has never been an issue for him. But enemies on the other hand has never been afraid to show themselves. Otto Octavius being the most difficult pain that always seems to get away.

-

The threat recently is the prisoners of Fort Rozz that's from Superman's world which are becoming a pain since, which is where the dozens of upgraded suits have been coming from.

Peter has been searching for one of his men after the fight with one of his before he gets an alert on his comms. "Peter, we've got a huge problem!" Gwen's voice calls into his comms out of fear.

"I'm here, what's up?" Peter asks when his senses look up and he sees a airplane on fire. "Okay, never mind." He says seeing the plane is going to crash into the city if something isn't done about it.

"Alex is on that plane, so you need to stop it." Gwen tells him and now he sees the importance.

"Okay, I added repulsers to the palm of your hands. Now is a better chance than any to see if it works." Gwen tells him as he looks at his palms and they start warming up. Peter blasts himself into the air and uses his mechanical limbs to grab onto the bottom of the plane.

Peter grabs onto the plane and moves across the plane to the roof of the plane and does the best he can to redirect the plane from crashing into the city. But seeing as that's unlikely, he moves over to the wings to see if his scanners can pick up what happened.

All his scanners pick up is parts that are non existent to airplanes and that means a bomb was planted to destroy the plane.

"Gwen, this was no malfunction. Someone deliberately blew the engine!" Peter informs her and now needs to focus on bringing it down safely.

-

At a bar in the city, Kara Danvers, cousin to the big man, was on a date that wasn't going so well when she hears about the report of the plane and how Spider-Man is trying to stop it from crashing but he's failing.

"Alex." Kara mumbles knowing her sister is on the plane and rushes outside.

Once outside, she uses her supervision to concur her fears that Alex is on the plane. She rushes into an alley and removes her jacket and starts leaps into the air before finally taking off into the air.

Once in the air, she watches as the second engine blows while coming up behind the plane. Peter is on the wing and was trying to turn the plane by controlling the angle when he sees now both engines are down so his current plan isn't going to work and drops his web.

"Peter, you've got something coming up on your six." Gwen tells him and his senses go off and he turns to see someone holding onto the wing of the plane.

"Who the hell are you?" Peter asks, not wanting to be rude, but is surprised to see someone up here.

Kara doesn't know how to answer him, and decides not to and goes underneath the plane and starts steadying it out when the bridge comes up.

"Okay, whoever you are, keep doing what you're doing!" Peter shouts and his suit starts calculating the angle and mass of the plane it needs to be in order not to crash into the bridge.

"Oh, come on!" Kara complains seeing the bridge coming up.

"New girl, turn the plane onto a 70 degree angle, left!" Peter shouts hoping she understands and hears him and Kara starts turning the plane and Peter uses his powers to stay onboard the plane as it just scratches off of the bridge and crashes into the lake.

Inside the plane, Alex looks to see Kara exiting the water and Peter leaping down next to her ad holding his hand out for her.

Kara looks up and sees Spider-Man and takes his hand and he pulls her up the wing.

"Nice work. A bit sloppy, but good none the less." He tells her.

Kara is shocked to hear someone say that she did nice work not used to hearing compliments often. That's when the helicopters come in and starts shining their spotlights on the two of them along with everyone in the plane.

Kara then takes off to the sky leaving everyone confused, including Spider-Man. "And here I thought Clark was the only one." Peter mumbles to himself before activating his repulsers and flying towards the DEO.

-

Once returning to the DEO and retracts his mask since everyone here knows who he is as Gwen comes out to see him. "What happened out there?" Gwen asks him.

"I am supposed to be asking you that question." Peter tells her since he doesn't know who the hell that was. "Does the big guy have a sister I'm unaware of?" He questions as they make their way to get some answers.

-

Kara made back to her apartment and watches the news about her appearance.

"The passengers of flight 297 appear to have a guardian angel. When, what many report to be a female flying form rescued them with Spider-Man from certain death." The reporter says and Kara squeals as quietly as she can.

"Leyna Nguyen is live at the scene." He says and the scene changes to on the bridge.

"Thank you, Rick. Guardian angel or human wrecking ball?" Leyna asks which enrages kara. "There is destruction all over Otto Binder Bridge." She explains and goes on.

"Well, you try saving a plane for the first time. See if you don't make a mess." Kara states as it changed from that to the Daily Bugle fun by J. Jonah Jameson.

"Pull up a seat everyone, because just as I said, Spider-Man better be getting a new job because we have a hero who knows exactly what she's doing!" Jameson states and Kara now feels bad since Spider-Man's been getting a bad rep from this guy and now she's given him a better target.

Jameson goes on how better Kara is to Spider-Man when the tv pauses and Kara sees that it's Alex.

Kara starts giggling uncontrollably. "I know! Is incredible!" Kara says before hugging her sister a little too hard. "Oh, sorry. That was-that was too hard. I'm just...I'm just so excited. I still can't believe I did it." She states happy.

"Yeah, neither can I. Are you okay?" Alex asks her sister.

"Me? Am I okay? Are you okay?" Kara asks her since she was the one who was going to die. "Were you scared? I mean, I was scared too, but you-you had to be terrified. Because you had no idea I was coming to save you."

"I need a drink." Alex says trying to process how now the whole world knows about her.

"Right! Yeah, we need to celebrate." Kara says before running around her kitchen trying to find something. "It has been so long. I almost forgot how to fly. Well, not so much how, but more, more how it feels. Like scared but good scared." She says before she returns and hands a glass to Alex.

"Like that moment right before you kiss someone for the first time." Kara says not stopping anytime soon. "And now...now I'm not sure what comes next. Or maybe I am sure and I'm just afraid of what it means. And if it means what I think it means."

"What were you thinking?" Alex interrupts her and looks back to the television. "You exposed yourself. To the world. You're out there now, Kara. Everyone will know about you and you can't take that back." She informs her.

"I don't want to." Kara says a little confused about Alex's reaction. "This is what I was talking about, Alex. I've always felt the need to help people, and tonight I finally got that chance. I didn't travel 2,000 light years just to be an assistant."

"What do people figure out who you are?" Alex asks her. "What you are? It's not safe for you to do anything like that. Ever again." She states to Kara.

Kara tries her best holding back tears thinking that her sister would've supported her decision. "I'm kind of tired, I...I just carried a plane on my back. I'm gonna go to bed. You should go." She tells Alex.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Alex says before leaving.

-

Back at the DEO, Gwen has ran a search of the superwoman using an algorithm, by using the footage Peter captured of her to figure out who she is.

"What if she's his sister?" Gwen asks while eating breakfast and looks to see Peter who's doing his morning training on the workout bar. "You know, normal people don't exactly exercise in the morning." She informs him.

Peter gets off the bar and grabs a towel and dries himself off. "Normal people don't fight people with super strength." Peter informs her.

"Point taken." Gwen says before turning back to her computers.

"Besides, big guy told me he was an only child, at least to his adoptive family." Peter says as he joins her to look at the software wondering what it came up with so far. "I mean, she's too old to be his daughter, obviously. She has to be sister, or even his cousin." He says when Alex returns.

"Oh, agent Danvers. You're okay!" Gwen says happy to see she's okay after the airplane crash.

"What's going on in here?" Alex asks.

"We're just trying to learn who this mystery girl is." Peter says taking a bite from his breakfast sandwich.

"No need to continue with that. She's been dealt with." Alex promises and leaves them.

"Well, okay then." Peter says and stops the algorithm from running.

"Okay, you want to go try out some new gadgets?" Gwen asks.

"Actually, I just wanted to spend some time with you before heading out on patrol. Maybe find somewhere to try out those new arms." Peter says before getting back up and goes to the case charging his new suit.

"You're actually not gonna go looking for this girl?" Gwen asks since he's usually a rule breaker. "Since when did you follow the rules?" She questions him and he laughs.

"You know me so well." Peter mumbles before grabbing his suit. "Start up the algorithm into my suit, let's learn what she's hiding." He says and Gwen knows he doesn't like it when the plug on their projects are pulled for no particular reason. He just thinks it means they're hiding something, and he doesn't like it when people he works, or for hides something.

-

At Cat co., everyone is trying to learn who Kara is as she's trying her best to stay calm.

"We don't have much to go on. The image were working off is low resolution." One of the men in Cat's office says.

"I guess she's around 5'9". It's tough to gauge with her height measured up against an airplane." Another says.

"Hair color brown. Or black." Someone else guesses when James, The new guy, comes in.

"Or maybe her hair is dirty. You know, from soot. The plane exhaust." James guesses.

"James, you make an excellent point. Do you think there's any connection between this hero and...?" Cat asks him.

"To my friend in blue?" James finishes her question. "I don't know, I mean, not that he mentioned, but if she's anything like him, she's a hero. Saving people is what they're bien to do. She'll be back." He states.

"She better be." Cat replies. "This Girl is the answer. She is exactly what I need to save the Tribune. Besides fatty foods, there is nothing people love more than a hero. And the Daily Bugle might've already beaten me to Spider-Man but we're going to blow her up. We will feature her online and in the paper, but we need images, we need video, we need an interview, and exclusive content. So go and get me her." She says and everyone leaves to do their job.

"And Kerah. Go get me a lettuce wrap." She tells Kara and she leaves with them.

"It's funny. That was one of the first times he and Spider-Man teamed up to do." James tells Kara. "Save a plane, I mean." He explains before walking off.

Kara looks in the room and sees Winn, her friend, and asks him to meet her on the roof.

Peter was swinging through the city when he notices the two talking and his facial recognition software finally gives him a 100% facial match to a Kara Danvers.

"Oh, now I'm starting to see why she wanted us to quit." Peter says just in time to watch Kara free fall off the building and fly back up.

-

In a coffe ship across the city, the news is still asking questions about Kara.

"More reports coming in on last night's plane rescue. The big question. Is there a connection between this flying mysterious flying woman and the man of steel?"

"More coffee." A man asks and gets no response. "Miss." He asks again.

"I'm sorry sir. Can you believe it? A female hero." The waitress says referring to the footage. "Nice for my daughter to have someone like that to look up to."

"Yeah, real nice." He replies and knows his plan failed and needs to contact his superiors.

-

He leavesand heads for his truck and climbs inside the back and heads towards the communicator.

"What happened with the plane, Vartox?" One of the other prisoners from Fort Rozz asks through the hologram. "You were ordered to bring it down."

"Our trap worked." Vartox defends. "High enough so not even this Spider-Human could stop it, the DEO agents were on on board and the bomb detonated."

"Then why aren't they dead?" He asks.

"The spider had some help. The female. She flew into the sky and caught the plane." Vartox tells him.

"Who is She? He asks.

"Joe-El saved his child before Krypton's destruction." Vartox explains.

"Alura's daughter." He now realizes.

"She and the child of Ren are both working with the humans." Vartox states.

"Twelve years we've been forced to hide in the shadows. But the general's arrival is imminent. Nothing must interfere. You see instructed to eliminate the human operatives. Add this girl to the list of non humans to eliminate." He tells Vartox.

"Can't promise their death won't be public. And messy." Vartox warns him.

"Human casualties are irreverent." He says and he's happy to hear that and picks up an axe.

"And if she is Alura Zor-El's daughter, she will pay for her mother's debts. And so will the child of Al-Ren." Vartox promises ready to fight them both.

-

As for Peter, he's been watching Kara in her make shift outfits and fighting crime throughout the city while he keeps his distance and watches her fight until he's told by Gwen that they're bringing her in.

Kara was flying towards a fire that was happening, not knowing Peter was close by with a kryptonite tranquilizer and shoots her out of the sky where an swat team took over and brought her to the DEO.

Kara wakes up to see Spider-Man and the boss of the DEO, Hank Henshaw. She tries getting up and sees her hands are handcuffed.

"Made of low-grade kryptonite." Hank informs her.

"It's a radioactive mineral from your home planet, it weakens you." Peter says from his seat across the room.

"Where am I? Who are you?" Kara asks the two of them.

"Name is Hank Henshaw. You already met Agent Spider-Man. And I believe you already know Agent Danvers." Hank answers as Alex approaches her.

"She doesn't need those." Alex promises referring to the handcuffs and another agent removes them.

"Welcome to the DEO, the Department Of Extranormal Operations." Hank tells Kara.

"We monitor and protect earth from extraterrestrial presence and/or invasion." Peter explains to her.

"That means you." Hank clarifies to her.

They bring her through the halls and bring her to the ship that brought her to earth.

"We keep this here as a reminder of the day you crashed on earth. You're the reason for all of this." Hank tells Kara.

"Me? But...my cousin was here two dozen years before me." Kara states.

"Actually, It was his arrival that triggered the need for this organization." Peter tells her.

"He's right, once we realizes we weren't alone in the universe and we might soon be getting more immigrants. Sure enough, you came along. And with you, Fort Rozz." Hank says and Kara doesn't know who that is. "Krypton's maximum security prison. Banished to the Phantom Zone, same place your ship got stuck. But just like yours, it didn't stay there. We're not sure how your pod got loose. What we do know is this. You pulled Fort Rozz with you. When it crashed, the alien convicts, the worst criminals in the galaxy, they all escaped. And you brought them here."

They then walk towards the computers where Gwen is. "These beings, some of them have powers from your darkest nightmares." Hank continues.

"And trust me, normal nightmares would be a pleasure." Peter whispers to Kara.

"For over a decade they've stayed hidden. But in the last year many of them have been emerging, making themselves known." Hank goes on explaining.

"They've been planning something, but we haven't caught up to what it could be." Peter adds on.

"Your plane. That wasn't an accident. They were trying to kill you." Kara realizes looking to Alex. "I can help you stop them." She tells them.

"How? You couldn't even stop us from capturing you." Hank says.

"In her defense, I don't think everyone has my sharpshooting skills." Peter tells Hank.

"That doesn't exactly help." Hank informs him.

"Wasn't exactly trying to help. Just thought it should be said." Peter mumbled to himself.

"I'm still learning." Kara tells the two of them.

"Our job is keeping people in the dark about alien life on earth, and nothing says "covert operation" like a flying woman in a red skirt." Hank informs Kara.

"They know about my cousin, and Iron-Spider here, they don't fear either of them." Kara says.

"Plenty of people do, just not popular or admit it." Hank tells her. "Haven't you seen the Daily Bugle's reports on Spider-Man?" He asks her.

"Iron-Soider. I gotta jot that down." Peter tells himself liking the name.

"You wanna help? Go back to getting someone's coffee." Hank says before he and Peter leaves to find out what they're planning.

"So, how'd it go?" Gwen asks as Peter goes up to her.

Peter looks back at Kara and Alex as they have a fight and she leaves. Peter sees she's gone and retracts his mask into his suit. "All skirt wants to do is help people. I know about the urge to help." Peter replies to her.

"Yeah, well, we both know it's better if..." Gwen's voice becomes distant as Peter's ears start ringing and blaring out everyone in the room.

"I'm communicating at 50,000 hertz. If you can hear this...you were not born on this earth." A voice fills his head and he starts walking off to the exit, knowing that this is gonna lead to a fight.

"Peter?" Gwen calls out, not knowing Peter can't hear her.

"Painful, isn't it? The humans of National City will suffer 10 times this pain if you don't face me." The voice warns and Peter makes it outside and places his mask back on. "Meet me at the National City Power Plant. How many innocent people are going to die until you prove that you're not cowards?" He asks and Peter takes that as a challenge and activates his repulsers and takes off into the sky.

What he doesn't know is that Kara got the exact same message and was flying out to the power plant as well. Kara arrived first and tries using her powers and can't see through anything.

"Clever. Picking a spot lined with lead." Kara compliments while looking around. "But I can still hear your heartbeat." She says before grabbing someone from behind one of the containers and throwing them to the ground.

"Whoa! Whoa! It's me!" Peter says and she just realizes it's him.

"Oh, Spider-Man. What are you doing here?" Kara asks while helping him back up.

"Probably the same as you. Got some weirdo's message." Peter says when his senses goes off and Vartox comes flying in and punches Kara across the plant.

Peter looks to Kara and sees she's alright and looks towards Vartox.

"On my planet, females bow before males." Vartox tells Kara.

"Remind me never to visit there. Plus, this isn't your world." Peter tells him.

"You look like Alura." Vartox tells Kara.

"How do you know my mother's name?" Kara questions.

"You don't easily forget the name of the woman who condemned you to prison." Vartox says.

"Fort Rozz?" Peter and Kara ask at the same time.

"She was our judge and jailer. Can't kill her. So killing you two will have to do." Vartox tells them.

"Wait, her I understand. But what'd I do?" Peter asks.

"You think I wouldn't recognize that coat of arms you wear on your chest?" Vartox asks looking at the spider emblem on his chest.

Peter looks at the emblem and back up at Vartox, wondering how he knows about it. "What do you know about this?" Peter asks him.

"Ren was the one's who vanished us into the Phantom Zone. So this will be fun." Vartox says and now Peter thinks he's just crazy or got him mixed with someone else.

Kara leaps to take Vartox down but and smashes him into a brick wall. Vartox gets up quickly and begins to beat Kara up and sends her flying into the plant. Peter sees this as his opening and leaps in to fight him and even uses his mechanical arms to help fight him off.

They fight for a quick minute with Peter dodging most of his attacks and gets a few solid punches in until Vartox grabs one of his arms and swings Peter around and tosses him through the building where Kara is.

"Just because you wear those symbols doesn't mean that you're as powerful as them." Vartox tells them.

"Okay, Buddy, you've got me confused with someone else." Peter says as he approaches them and they stand back up ready to fight.

Kara tries punching him but she's too easy to fight for him. Peter tries stabbing him with one of his arms but they immediately break on impact with him.

"You actually think that you can stop me?" Vartox asks him and grabs the broken arm. "That you can stop any of us?" He asks again when Kara comes up behind him and smashes all of them through the wall.

Vartox was the frost of the three to stand back up and grabs his ax. Kara looks to see Peter was knocked unconscious and stands up ready to take Vartox on when he throws his ax and it cuts her shoulder. While she pays attention to the cut, Vartox tackles her.

"Now you know what it's like to bleed. Soon, your whole city will bleed." Vartox says when a explosion goes off and they see the DEO has arrived and Vartox grabs his ax and runs off.

Alex comes down from the chopper and sees the two of them.

"Trap one, pursue the hostile." Alex tells the helicopter and it takes off to stop Vartox.

"Hey, I'm here. I got you, I got you." Alex promises Kara as a truck arrives to transport them back to the base.

-

Back at the base, Kara is being checked up on as Peter is unconscious on a bed across from her with his mask retracted. Alex was able to remove a piece of metal that came off of the axe when Vartox threw it at her.

"You're gonna be okay." Alex assures Kara.

"I never felt pain like that before." Kara states. "I never felt pain." She corrects herself.

"You're not indestructible, Kara." Alex informs her.

"Nice move nearly letting that alien cut you and my best agent in half." Hank says looking at Peter who just needs some rest to heal. "If we can ID his weapon, it might give us a way for him to deafat this guy." He tells Alex as she analyses the metal.

The computer takes a minute and they get the information they need.

"Look at that." Gwen says seeing the information they got back.

"You did help." Hank tells Kara happy to get something useful.

"Did you know about my mom?" Kara asks Alex. "That She was the one who locked up all the aliens?" She questions and Alex looks towards Gwen.

"I'll...make like a greave, and make myself useful somewhere else." Gwen says and leaves the sisters.

"It's why I didn't want hiungoing out there." Alex tells her. "Showing yourself, showing this." She says looking at the emblem on her chest. "The Fort Rozz escapees would give anything to get revenge on your mother and the only way they can do that now is to hurt you. I'm trying to protect you. And apparently, they want Peter."

"What about Spider-Man?" Kara asks looking to the unconscious hero. "Where'd he get his powers from?"

"Nobody is quite sure. He has no blood relatives, his adoptive parents, the Parker's, they never explained where he was from but said that one day he would change our viewpoint of the universe." Alex tells Kara meaning nobody knows.

"That man out there, he seemed to know who he was." Kara informs her.

"Maybe. But that would mean he isn't from earth." Alex says not understanding how he could know about Peter.

-

Peter later wakes up and wonders what he missed when he remembers what the guy he fought said about his emblem. He looks down at the spider on his chest and wonders if it could mean something bigger than he originally thought.

He puts it on hold for now knowing it needs to wait until after he stops him.

"It's Agent Danvers and her sister from another planet." Hank says and Peter looks to see Alex and Kara.

Peter closes his mask back up and walks out of the med room ready to fight.

"She's here to help us fight Vartox." Alex tells Hank.

"I told you I don't trust aliens." Hank replies to Alex.

"There's no one I trust more." Alex states. "Like her cousin, she was sent here, too, to help us. And if you want any more of my help, we're gonna let her."

Peter decides that maybe she should be given a shot. "Sir, I say we give her a chance to prove herself." He tells Hank.

"I found Vartox!" Gwen tells them, interrupting their conversation. "Sorry. Sir..ma'am's." She apologizes.

"Where is he?" Peter asks.

"The silver of metal that we extracted from Supergirl's arm. Vartox's ax has a unique nuclear thumbprint. And our satellites picked him up heading towards the city." Gwen tells them and shows his location on the computers.

"Vartox said he was ready to start killing humans." Kara says.

"Order a strike team to intercept." Hank tells the room.

"Your men will not be able to stop him." Kara states.

"Thank you for your opinion, Miss Danvers." Hank replies angrily,

"Director Henshaw. People of this city will die because of something I did. I started this. You have to let me stop it." Kara pleads to the man.

"Not just her, I started this, too. Let us clean up our mess, sir." Peter asks of him agreeing with Kara. And he also unspokenly wants to know what Vartox knows about the emblem.

"Then you two better win." Hank states still believing this is a bad idea.

"Think you can keep up, skirt?" Peter asks Kara.

"I was about to ask you the same question, bug-man." Kara quips before walking towards the exit.

"Oh, it's super on." Peter states and follows after her.

-

On the subway, Vartox is driving his truck towards the city while in the air, Kara and Peter are flying towards him and Kara slams into the street.

"I got him." Kara says and the truck crashes into her and doesn't leave a scratch.

The crash caused Vartox to fly out of the driver seat and onto the road with his ax. Peter comes landing next to her as the truck explodes behind them.

"You two shouldn't have come back for more." Vartox tells them as Kara flies at him and kicks him in the face. As he flies, Peter is there waiting and punches him in the face sending him tumbling to the ground.

Vartox tried getting back up and grabs his ax ready to fight the two of them and Peter and Kara remember what they were both told about the ax and it needing to be hot enough to explode.

"Skirt, hows our opening." Peter tells Kara and wonders if his repulsers could be use as a laser and aims it at the ax as Kara uses her laser eyes on it and it starts heating up.

"Come on, it's working!" Peter sees as it takes a minute until the ax explodes and sends the three of them backwards.

Vartox starts standing up when a metallic arm stabs his hand. It's not strong enough to penetrate it, but it's strong enough to keep him still.

"You think I'm the threat?" Vartox asks him.

Peter doesn't respond and removes his mask and pulls out the necklace with the emblem on it from his suit.

"You know wat this means. How?!" Peter asks him.

"You don't know?" Vartox asks not understanding how he couldn't know. "You'll know when he gets here." He answers.

"When who gets here?" Peter asks when he suddenly grabs his ax and stabs himself in the chest, killing him. Leaving Peter with about a million unanswered questions.

-

In an unknown location, the prisoner of Fort Rozz Vartox was talking to is meeting up with one of his men to speak about recent events.

"General, Vartox is dead. He chose death over captivity." He tells her.

"Typical of his race." She responds.

"He did do one thing correct. He identified the girl and Spider-Man. It appears she is Alura's daughter." He informs her.

"My dear little niece. Of course. She escaped with her cousin." She responds.

"A much less of a threat than he is to our endeavors." He states.

"You're wrong. If she's anything like her mother, she will be just as formidable. It was my right to lead Krypton, I will lead earth. We all will." She tells him. "Now who is this Spider-Man?" She asks seeing he cant find the words.

"...He appears to be a part of the house of Ren." He informs her.

She suddenly stops in her tracks and looks back at him. "Spider-Man is Ho-Ren...the prince of Krypton survived." She says and sees he needs to be taken out first before their plans could continue.
