GWEN, PETER, AND MILES were back at it. They dodged Doc Oct's blow and kept it pushing. Gwen swung a piece of drywall at the women and all three came straight at her, using her temporary blindness to their advantage. It's then that Gwen gets thrown to the side, the wall cracking under the weight of her body.

"Gwen!" Miles shouted with worry.

The blow must have knocked the wind out of her because the next thing Miles and Peter knew was that she was falling face first and she was heading straight for the collider. Miles is staring straight at her, contemplating whether or not he should go after her.

Peter sees the look on Miles's face. A look of resolution. He knows, "Kid wait! It's too dangerous!" But it's too late. Miles makes a split-second decision and dives for her. Jumping on a car he uses it as a boost. When he reaches his hand out for her he grabs her the two now falling together.

"I like your suit." She simply says, the eyes on her suit squinting as if she were smiling.

"Thanks. Made it myself." The boy is quick to say. Miles makes quick work of turning around and aims high above him shooting a web out.

"That was adorable, team! Now, hold on tight!" Peter grabs said web and pulls the two up with no effort they soar through the air, as if they were slingshotted and they head straight toward the women of the hour.

She doesn't know what to do as she's punched in the face once by Gwen. Then twice by Miles, Peter joins the fun with a kick to the face, and the mad scientist goes down from the brutal assault.

Miles and Gwen don't let her get back up though, they both deliver a nasty punch to the face at the same time knocking her square across the room and down out of eyesight.

Miles and Gwen hit fists in victory thinking it was over.

Doc Oct then comes soaring back up with perseverance on her battered and bruised face. Miles and Peter sigh in annoyance.

"Buckle up, guys. This is gonna take a while." Gwen announced, getting ready to give the women another beat down.

The three spiderlings prepare for her next attack. Olivia is crackling, laughing with gaiety as she's heading toward them. Right as her eyes widened with excitement it was then that she got hit by a moving truck. How it's driving at full speed is a question for another day.

"Oh, Shit!" Their eyes went wide, and Peter's hand found his face.

"All right. Never mind..." Gwen finishes with slight hesitance. She then stands tall looking back at the boys. "Let's end this thing." Peter and Gwen take a step forward but they're stopped by Miles as he rounds them and stands tall in front of the two blocking their way.

Miles shakes his head walking backwards away from his friends. "Guys, I got it." Peter is the first to protest, "I'll go, I'm the one with the goob-" Peter reaches for said flash drive his words slowly drifted away when he comes up empty-handed. He looks up and it's then that he sees that very same flash drive in Miles's hand.
