The Spider & The Butterfly

Team Tussle

In the Morales apartments, Miles' parents were both out while he sat on the couch playing an arcade fighter game. 

"Aha! Gotcha! Eat this sick move!" he said, caught up in his game. Suddenly, a tear in reality appeared along the ceiling in front of him. "Whoa! What the?" Miles exclaimed, taken aback. 

Peter fell from it and landed on his back. Star fell afterwards and right across his stomach. Pete groaned in pain while his girlfriend blushed about their position and scratched the back of her head sheepishly. 

"Sorry. I'm usually pretty accurate with these." she defended. 

Miles blinked twice. "Peter? Star? Thanks for dropping in." He reached into a mini fridge and pulled out a can. "Grape soda?" he offered. 

Star clapped happily and took the drink while Pete slid from underneath her. "Hey Miles. Could use some help." he said. 

"Sure, I'm down. What's up?" 

Star took a big sip of her soda. "Bad guys want to kill him, yata yata. I came in and rescued him, blah blah. Hey, you got more of this stuff?"

"Uh... sure." he said before tossing another can to her. She grinned widely before gulping both drinks down. 

"That's pretty much the gist of it. Six on one and Electro shorted out my suit. Meaning I have to home and grab my cloth spare."

"Alright. What's the plan?"

"Divide and Conquer. Hopefully we can break them off into groups of two."

Miles walked to the door of his room. "Sounds good. I'm going to change. But how are we going to do that?"

"Leave that to me." he said before Star burped loudly behind him. 

After leaving Mile's place and getting Peter his spare costume, the three heroes traversed the one place no one expects... the sewers. 

"Tell me again why we're using the sewers?" Kid Arachnid asked. 

"Because it's probably the best place to split them up and still have wiggle room ourselves." Spider-Man explained. 

Rainbow Witch had her nose pinched and tried her best not to gag. "But it smells so bad in here!" she whined. 

Miles accidentally put one foot in the water. "Ugh. Not to mention how much it'll take to get the stench of sewer out of our costumes."

"Trust me guys. The smell isn't the worse thing we'll find down here." As if it were comedically timed, the Spider-Men's sixth sense went off. An electric stinger blast was shot in their direction and all three dodged. They looked back to see Scorpion clinging to the wall. 

"Told them I'd find ya, bug."

Spider-Man dusted himself off. "Congrats, you're the winner of the most painful Hide-and-Seek ever. Can we play a new game now?" The rest of the Sinister Six showed up behind Gargan. Peter looked back to his own group. "The path splits off ahead I think. Remember the plan. Go!"

Spider-Man and Kid Arachnid shot out a wall of webbing to buy themselves time for a head start. 

"Do you think that'll stop the Rhino?" Aleksei said as he charged through the net. By the time he got through, his adversaries had fled down three separate tunnels. 

"What are you waiting for fools? After them!" Ock commanded. He went with Scorpion down the left tunnel. Shocker and Vulture took the middle. Rhino was left to take the right tunnel with Electro. 

Miles ran down the right tunnel. "Ok. You're by yourself now Miles. In a dark-ish sewer with no one to help you. And presumably two random bad guys after you. Totally got this, right?" he told himself before finding he could not traverse further. "Uh oh! A dead end!"
