TW: violence + more. you've been warned.

gwen looks towards the antidote, and runs to go get it. she grabs it and takes my hand, leading me out the room. we run out the room, and down the corridors of oscorp. despite the circumstances, i feel adrenaline course through my body, making me feel excited and fearful at the same time. we run down the stairs, knowing the elevators won't work due to the evacuation alarms.

"ar-are you okay?" i pant, while sprinting down yet another hall.

"yeah i'm good, are y-you?" she asks. "mhm" inhum simply.

we get closer to the main exit and entrance of oscorp, and run out. bitter air meets my fave, and i squint my eyes due to the breeze. i feel my gwen's hand detach from my forearm, and her hand me the antidote. i open my eyes fully, and I am greeted by multiple police cars, and a crowd. i scan the crowd, and find my brother?

he runs towards me, englulfing me in a warm hug. i stroke his hair, and peck the top of his head.

"hey bud, you ok?" he pulls back and nods, and his eyes drop down to my hand, which is holding the antidote. he nods, and smiles up at me. police begin to swarm around us, and jackson looks at me with worried eyes, then back down at the antidote.

in a split second, my brother, and the antidote with him, are gone. he races into the oscorp building, and i scream, trying to run after him. however, my movements are restricted by a police officer. i pull against his restraints, but he is far too strong. i continue screaming, knowing nothing good will be up there, waiting for him. a sob breaks out if me, and I fall to the ground, weak. all i can do is cry out for him, until my voice goes hoarse and no energy is left in me.

one thought puts my mind at ease, though. peter will be up there to protect him though, won't he?

PETERS POV

i land on the roof of the oscorp building, where a large, reptilian body is standing. there is no light to illuminate his body, except the bright, neon light from the dispersement device and the liquid that will soon turn the whole of new york into lizards.

his while body spins and our eyes connect, making him snarl.

i shoot a web up to the top of the pole  he is standing on, and swing i pull my legs towards my chest, before letting them fly into the lizards chest.

"dispersement will occur in t-minus 2 minutes" a robotic voice says, as the lizard grabs onto my legs, and pulls me down to the ground with him. i shoot another web away from the reptile, but he grabs my foot before i can swing away.

time slows as my eyesight is purely new york city. it's an awe-inspiring view from up here. the magic soon comes to an end, and i shoot a web towards the oscorp building. the web brings my body to the glass windows that are littered all around the structure. i crawl up back to the edge of the roof, where the lizard is waiting for me. he turns around, and i see him grab a large canister. he throws it on the side of the building, causing the pressured gas to erupt in front of my face. the coldness of the gas bites my skin, even through my suit.

i scamper away in a rush, and sling a web to a pole. i pull towards it and swing onto the roof, where i web the lizards mouth. it doesn't last for long though, and he soon pulls it off with great force. the reptilian roars, and scratches my thigh lightly before i swing away. another canister of liquid nitrogen is thrown at me, exploding in my face, making me jump backwards. my back hits the ground, and i grunt.

the liquid nitrogen starts to take effect in the metal pile, as the ice infiltrates the tall structure, crackling and gleaming. the lizard pounces onto me, barely missing me. i throw a web towards the massive source of the gas, and slide myself over. the lizard roars and pounces, again, over to me. i try to sling a web towards a pipe of liquid nitrogen, but it is stood on my a scaly claw.
