Love From Another Universe

~11~

The man comes closer into view. This must be that Max guy other Peter was talking about. I see something familiar planted on his chest, it's Tony's arc reactor. Anger fills my body, he doesn't deserve to have this.

"How you like the new-new?" he says pointing to the arc reactor. He looks at the box, "Look, you give it to me, I'm gonna destroy it." He laughs, how does he think this is a joke? We want to save him, how do they not get this? "But I'll let you live. Don't make me a murderer, Peter."

I look at this world Peter, he pulls on his mask and calls out for us. "Okay, guys. Here he comes." He swings into action with Electro following him.  The rest of us follow suit. Other Peter launches at Electro with the cure. "Hey, Max! I missed you, man- Whoa!" Other Peter says while Electro barely misses him. God he needs to be more careful.

Meanwhile, this world Peter throws Mj the box and enter the portal back to the chemistry lab. The portal isn't closing, Ned close the damn portal. I swing up there, "Ned close the damn portal!" I say in a hurry, I don't want them to get hurt. "Why isn't it closing?" Mj asks nervously, "I-I don't know, I-" damnit I have to go back, "If you guys need me scream my name, got it?" They nod.

I look around trying to find the other Peter. I feel the need to help him.

I see Electro still trying to shoot him, he manages to dodge all of them. "Max! Max, Max... can we just talk for a second? Just you and me, just-" other Peter starts to reason with him, "Look who showed up! My old friend, Spiderman." "I'm trying to dave you. Max. That's all I've ever wanted." "You're not trying to have me." "I am!" Other Peter says desperately, "You ain't even the shit no more." I knew that comment had to hurt, as he sighs and drops his head.

"Don't worry about me." he taps on the arc reactor, that bitch. "I saved myself. Burn up!" He shoots electricity at the other Peter, again barely missing.

"Well, I got his attention. Now what?" other Peter says on the comms. "Okay, great!" Older Peter says, "Uh, just FYI- Lizard guy's here too!" I look down, what the hell are people doing these days?!

I go to help older Peter with the lizard. We kick him, with our combined strength sending him onto the arm of a crane. We drop down, he's advancing on us, we back pedal. "Guys, are you even on the comms?" I say, god these people don't know how to work as a team.

We run and web away trying to find his cure. I see other Peter still trying to fight off Electro, "I need Max's cure!" He says over the comms, "On it!" this world Peter responds to him.

We make it to the scaffolding, I web the lizard and was able to knock him out. "It's not going to last, we need to cure!" I say out of breathe. Damn it, that took a lot of energy. Frantically, older Peter says in the comms we need Connors cure. "Um, okay, okay!" this world Peter says, panicking.

I hear a crash and see sand trickle down the scaffolding. There's a sand guy too! "Stay here with lizard guy, I need to help Peter." I nod, Im starting to get my energy back. Surprisingly, lizard is still knocked out.

I look over the side and see other Peter. He's still has Electro hot on his tail. He gets ya glued in another web created by this world Peter to get out of his sandy mess. Jesus Christ, this ain't going so well. "Sorry!" he says.

Electro tries to rile up Sandman who's looking for the box, "Sad to tell you, Sandman. Nobody's going home!" He shoot's another electric wave but hits the crane making it crash down. I look down and see Older Peter fight a now awake lizard man.

The crane hits sandman freeing this world Peter. I hear someone hit the scaffolding, I look around and see it's other Peter. No, no, I swing over to him. "Hey, hey you're good. I got you." I say as I'm helping him up.
