As spider man reached the warehouse in question. He could see a white van. There were two police officers near it too. He could also see the warehouse and went straight inside.

He was prepared to meet some resistance. but to his surprise the warehouse was empty. There was nothing there . Nothing that even hinted that those masked men were even here in the first place .

'What now? where can I find them. Aunt May doesn't have much time.' He Mentally shouted.

At that moment he noticed that his spider-sense was tingling slightly. It was very small but he was able to notice. It was telling him that there was danger nearby. He decided to follow the direction where it was coming from. It led to a corner of the warehouse. spider-sense was pointing at the wall. He reached out his hand ti touch the wall. It felt...Smooth . Not like the brick the wall was made of.

'A trap door.' Spider man immediately thought and punched that part of wall. And as he had thought It was wood. The door broke apart . Revealing stairs that went down.

Spider sense had intensified too.He walked down the staircase. After a while he heard some sounds. There were people inside . He hastened his pace. The stairs ended and then it was a tunnel that went somewhere.

In the tunnel he found those Same masked men that ahad attacked at the airport.

'Caught you bitches finally.' Spider-man Jumped at those men and started punching and kicking them." Where is the girl and the ISU serum? Tell me now or this time I will be the one to waste you. "

Some men a short distance away were shocked at spider-Man appearing out of nowhere.

"where did he come from? "

"Doesn't matter ? Let's go."

" He is one person we can kill him."

And then they all went to join the fight against Spider-Man. But it didn't go as they hoped. Despite overwhelming numers Spider-man's amazing agility and strength helped me again and again.

"The man has gone mad." one goon said before being kicked away by Spider-man. He was punching , kicking and webbing up them all without stopping. He was at his wit's end. So many things had happened in one day. He was hitting harder then normal.

He turned to see more masked men coming towards him from the other side of the tunnel. 'Something tells me whatever I'm looking for is at the end of this tunnel.'

With that thought he jumped over the incoming group and made his way towards the end of tunnel. All the while punching away any that tried to stop him.

Finally, he was able to reach the end of the tunnel. There was a laboratory on the other side , he found.He turned Spider-man looked around the lab and he was able to find one of his targets. The ISU-36 Serum. It was currently on the table and next to stood someone, tapping away on the keyboard, his eyes focused on the screen in front of him. Someone he knew all too well. One of his arch-enemy, Dr.Octopus. Spider-man's Rage only increased after finding out he was behind all this.

"Octopus!!"Peter shouted as he lunged at him and punched the villain in the face , which sent him flying.

"Spider man ? No it's too early. This isn't going According to plan. My research is still not finished.How can find me so fast? "

"It doesn't matter Otto . I'm here now and I'm gonna beat the living shit out of you." Spider man shouted as he started to run after Octavius again.

"Tell me where the girl you kidnapped is now."

" You are in over your head. Just because you defeated me last time it doesn't means that you can do that again." Octavius sent His metal arms after him.

"I'm gonna do just that if you don't give back MJ...The Girl. you heard me you tentacled pig." Spider-Man made sure to dodge all the attacks from those metal arms. They were very powerful and he knew it will become hard for him to fight it if those arms git a hold of him.

He continued dodging and strike back at right moment. And this he was hitting hard. Each of his punches left a dark bruise on the mad scientists body. He grabbed one of the arms and pulled him close and kicking Otto in the face which sent him flying back a good few meters.

Spider-man was going to continue hitting him again before he heard someone. scream for help. He turned around to see MJ was grabbed by One of the masked men with a gun.

" MJ." Shouted Spider-man relieved to see her alright. Atleast for now.

Mary Jane was slightly shocked by that voice. It was very familiar and she could almost tell who it belonged too. But she was not a situation where she could think about it.

" Let us go OR ..." the man said an obvious threat.

The girl was having none of it. She wasn't the type to be pushed around . She raised her leg and kicked back at the side of the right knee of the masked men and ducked her head as down as possible to escape the bullet that might drill her head.

But it never came as she saw the gun was webbed up. Spider-Man was infront of her in a second and punched her captor away.

" Run. Get out of here."

She nodded and started to move away from the place before turning around to look at the box containing the serum that she needed to take back with her.

She steeled her resolve and went back for the medicine. Octopus and Spider-man were still fighting here but to her the serum was the most Important.

As soon as grabbed the parcel and turned around to run. She was attacked by one of Otto's metal arm and flung away landing hard on the ground . Unmoving.

" That is Mine you wretched fool." Octavius sneered before turning towards Spider-man again.

" Mary Jane!!!" Spider-Man saw it happen beating up his mind wondering why she even came back before looking at the parcel of ISU serum that she was clutching tightly. He remembered how she promised to bring it back for his aunt.

This only increased his anger when his senses went off again and he dodged another attack from one arm before he was hit by another and sent through one of the many pillars supporting the roof of laboratory.

Peter decided this couldn't go on any longer and started charging up A venom blast. This was his biggest weapon. But he only ever used it against other strong super human villains like Goblin and Rino. Normal human could be permanently paralyzed by the sudden energy blast . And Otto despite all his big talk was still human . Atleast is main body was .

His hands started glowing light green. Octavius sent his metal arms again but it was caught and he was pulled forwards into a very powerful punch in the gut that sent him flying,coughing blood.

Spider-man stood back up straight as he looked at Octavius coughing blood. He turned his head towards MJ again only to see a metal arm making it way towards her. Possible to use her as hostage again.

" Noo!!" In his anger he lifted up a broken pillars that was easily three time his own size and threw it at Octavius. Otto's eyes widened and he barley got himself out of the way .

The pillar hit the Main support beam and toppled it. And the cast Iron upper level units Started to collapse. All kinds of heavy things started falling down.

"You idiot. You have killed us all." Dr. Octopus shouted before his voice was drowned out by heavy sounds of things falling.

Spider-Man turned to look for MJ . And his eyes widened in horror as he saw The largest iron unit starting to fall down towards her. He wasted no time to run towards her and jumped atop her to shield her from all the things falling down . Many hit him at the back and his head . and it started to bleed. But his only care right now was to shield the girl.

×---------------------×

A few minutes later, Mary Jane opened her eyes . She could feel the unbearable pain on her back. She tried moving but found she couldn't especially her legs that felt like they were trapped somewhere.

As she got her focus , the first thing she saw was Spider-Man looking down at her . " Spider-Man? what happened.?"

Then she turned her head to look around and her eyes widened at the scene. There were heavy objects fallen around everywhere.Then she turned back to look at Spider-man. The first she noticed was the injury on his head . Then she noticed very large iron object at his back. It had fallen down and he was barely stoping it from crushing them both.

" Are you alright?" He asked.

"Are we really going to die ?" was all she was able to say after a few second.

" No. No...you crawl out of here first I've git this thing." He motioned at the iron beam at his back .

" I can't move. My legs are trapped somewhere there and my back hurts."

Spider-Man didn't say anything. She turned her head again to look that the ceiling. That was also starting at crack. The water was starting to pour down as droplets already. It won't be long before It broke and then they both would be submerged in water along with this under water labratory. Don't know why people even built things like this. ' So this is how i die? huh.' Then she turned back towards the masked hero.

MJ continued to look at him. She remembered how he had called out her name earlier. She also had her own suspicions for a long time. Sh thought if she was going to die anyway she atleast deserved to get the answer to one of the biggest mystery.

She slowly reached out her hand towards his mask and slowly started to take it off.

" Don't." He said with slight panic but he couldn't do anything to stop her. Eventually the mask came off completely and what greeted her was and all too familiar face.

Peter Parker. It was bloodied and bruised back still easily recognisable . Especially those sad eyes of his that spoke many emotions. "Heh, I had some ideas you know . I saw Spider-man once outside your house at the rooftop. Also you were always running off somewhere. I guess it wasn't so hard. You hid it well. But you aren't such a big mystery now Mr. Parker."

' I've Failed. Now — when it counted the most . I've failed. ' He couldn't help but think as he watched her desperately trying to find something to say as tears pooled in her eyes.

Peter kept silent as he continued to look at Mary Jane. His friend , currently the only friend he had. Someone who had a heart of gold. Someone who unlike himself had a dream. Someone who deserved to be happy. Someone who shouldn't have to die like this. Yet she was here about to face her death. All because she wanted to help him. It was all his fault.

Then he looked at the serum. that was still in her hands . ' That . The thing that could save aunt May. If i don't bring it to her she will die. MJ too. No , I can't give up now. Not yet I must keep trying.'

Then he gathered all the strength he could and started trying to push back the large iron beam that weighed more then a locomotive engine. ' I have received such great powers and now I must prove myself worthy enough to take on the great responsibility that comes with it. Or else I don't deserve it.'

Then ignoring the unbearable weight and pain in each of his muscle he started trying to push the beam back.

And slowly but steadily the beam did start to move.' My head's spinning. This pain is unbearable. But I can't sto now. I have to continue. Aunt May — Mary Jane I can't fail them both. No , I won't fail.' With that he pushed back with even greater force.

MJ was shocked she had believed they were both going to die . but now Peter was doing something near impossible. She couldn't speak so she quietly watching as he lifted up that large price of metal.

' It's moving. But it's too much for me. No ,not now . Anyone can fight when the odds are esy — It's when all odds are against you . That's when it counts. I'll have to do it.' Peter thought.

Then with great power Spider-man lifted up the gaint metal ignoring the agonizing pain and push it off of himself.

" I did it. we're free " He said before he fell on his knees panting. ,His head was fuzzy and he couldn't think straight anymore. He fell down at MJ's side.

Mary Jane immediately reached out ignoring the pain in her back she hurriedly freed her leg that was locked between two metal shafts and sat at Peter's side trying to pull him . " Peter are you fine? Come on Tiger. We can't give up now . Not yet we still have to reach her and give are this serum."The ceiling was almost cracked completely they couldn't stay here. The water could come flooding in anytime.

At that Peter opened his eyes. Yes , aunt May he needed to get to her fast. ' No time for rest. The works not done yet '

" Yes...yeah , let's go."

They both supported each other as they made their way out of the lab.
