The three Spider-Men, Peter, Tom, and Andrew, swung through different parts of the city, watching for any odd villainous activity. Each of them ready and waiting for the next bout of chaos to begin.
Tom, who only moments earlier found it impossible to concentrate, now felt much lighter, as if a weight was lifted from his shoulders. Venting his feelings seemed to have helped him keep his mind on the task at hand.
Back at their base, Ned diligently monitored the communications while May and MJ worked alongside him, keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble. Suddenly, a surge of social media posts came through that caught their attention.
"Guys, I've got something," Ned announced, his voice filled with excitement. "There's been a sighting of a man made of lightning. He was spotted near the electrical lines leading into the city."
As soon as he said that, the lights all over the city began to flicker, catching everyone's attention.
Peter, Tom, and Andrew quickly responded to the call, their instincts kicking into high gear.
"I don't think Dr. Connors is the only one who followed you here..." Peter's voice transmitted to everyone.
"But you killed him..." Andrew replied in disbelief.
"Well, sometimes the bad guys don't stay dead." Peter said as they all rushed to the location provided by Ned.

Within minutes, Andrew was the first to arrive at the location, skidding to a stop on the side of an electrical tower. His eyes widened as he took in the scene below. Standing among the sparking electrical lines was a familiar figure bathed in crackling blue energy.
"Max?" Andrew muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with both recognition and concern. "You're alive..." He had some doubts but those were long gone now.
Andrew and Maxwell Dillon, also known as Electro, hailed from the same universe, where they had clashed multiple times. Though in the end, Peter ended up taking over Andrews body and overloading Electro with massive amounts of electricity, killing him in a fiery explosion.
"Spider-Man..." Electro smiled darkly in Andrews direction. "How good of you to join me!"
Before Andrew had a chance to react, the air crackled with electricity, and a bolt of lightning surged toward him. With reflexes honed by years of crime-fighting, Andrew leaped out of the way, narrowly avoiding the electrifying attack.
As the lightning fizzled out, Andrew landed on an adjacent tower, his mind racing. He had to find a way to stop Electro and prevent him from wreaking havoc on the city.
Andrew's heart raced as he assessed the situation. Electro stood before him, crackling with raw power. The blue energy rushed into his body from the sparking power lines, illuminating his euphoric expression.
Andrew knew he had to act quickly if he wanted to stand a chance against him. "What's taking you guys so long?" His transmitted to Peter and Tom.
Little did he know that Peter had already arrived, taking a seat on a nearby tree to watch the show. "I've already beat this guy, so I'll leave this one to you guys." Peter said as the sound of crunching popcorn could be heard.
But Tom had anticipated the move. He swiftly leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding the electrifying attack. And directly behind him stood Andrew, holding the door to his magnetized trap wide open.
Instantly, Electro shot into the box, banging his head against its magnetized inner walls. "Ugh?!" He grunted in pain and confusion as the door behind him slammed shut, locking into place.
Scoffing at the shabby excuse for a trap, Electro's body surged with electricity, though his hopes were soon destroyed. The surrounding magnetic field disrupted Electro's control over his powers, causing the lightning to bounce back into his body, leaving the box completely unharmed.
After a few more tries, Electro was enraged by his failure. "Hey! Let me out! Peter! PETER!" He screamed and banged metal.
Appearing behind Tom and Andrew, Peter quickly vanished all of his snacks. "Good job guys. I knew we could do it." He said as he clapped them on the shoulders.
Turning to glare in his direction, both Tom and Andrew rolled their eyes in tandem. "We?"

Lily Parker sat at the kitchen table, her small frame perched on a chair that seemed too big for her. A plate of pancakes was in front of her, half-eaten, while her mother, MJ, sat across from her, sipping an iced coffee.
"Mom, can I have more juice?" Lily asked, her brown eyes looking up at MJ.
"Of course, sweetie," MJ replied, getting up from her seat and walking towards the refrigerator.
As MJ turned her back, Lily's attention was momentarily drawn to a bird perched on the windowsill. When she looked back, expecting her mother to be pouring juice into her cup, she found herself in an entirely different location, sitting outside on a park bench.
Devoid of any signs of her mother's presence, momentary panic gripped her heart, but Lily's logical AI brain soon kicked in, calming her down immediately.
"Mom?" Lily called out, but there was no response, only an eerie silence that hung in the morning air.
Uncertain of what had just happened, Lily hopped off the bench, her bare feet landing on the cold concrete sidewalk.
Lily looked around, her small figure standing alone in the middle of the quiet park. Her heart raced, and she shivered, a sense of unease settling over her. That's when she noticed movement out of the corner of her eye.
Across the street, on a nearby building, she saw a figure dressed in a red and blue suit, masked and crouched low, peering out over the city. Though the suit was different from her father's, hope flickered within her. Could it be him?
With a burst of courage, Lily sprinted across the street, her footsteps echoing through the empty morning air. As she approached, she called out, her voice filled with desperate anticipation, "Dad! Dad!"
The figure turned, and watched in shock as a little girl leaped up more than 15 feet before crawling up the side of the building.
"Dad?" Lily asked as she made it to top, eyeing the Spider-Man before her warily. "It's you, right?"
"Umm..." The mysterious Spider-Man pointedly at himself. "Are you talking to me?"
"..." Instantly, Lily felt that their was something off with his voice and summoned her spider suit, which instantly covered her body. "Take off your mask!" She ordered, pointing her wrist in the mans direction.
"Woah..." The guys held his hands up and pulled off his mask. "Don't shoot. I'm unarmed, okay?" He said jokingly.
Lily's heart sank as he removed his mask, revealing a face she did not recognize. It was an older man, his kind eyes filled with confusion and awe as he looked down at her.
