Peter noticed the radio come online, mentioning a large lizard slipping into the sewers. He had just finished up with Jess and she had been subdued within an hour.

She was not used to it and the pleasure was too much for her to handle.

It was different from Gwen and Cindy as the bond kept them anchored, awake. It also increased the pleasure levels.

Walking out of the room, Peter saw the girls sitting inside the kitchen with some food. It seems Gwen had cooked them a meal using the items that had been stored inside the base.

"Sorry, it slipped my mind and I left you girls without any thing." Peter said as he walked closer and sat down on the chair.

They were wearing some of his clothes, meaning Yami had given it to them.

"I don't mind since it was an urgent situation." Gwen replied as she gave him a wink with a smile.

Peter finally realized that he had forgotten to activate the seals to cancel the sound. They had heard everything, loud and clear.

"Right, so I heard from Yami that you have some control over your powers now. Do you intend to really continue? The training is painful. What about your families?" Peter asked seriously, he would be happy if they joined him but it also meant that they would be in the line of danger.

"I will join. We already know the state of our city so there is no need to delude myself of any kind of imaginary safety. It's just not our time to die so we have survived or else people die every day from normal things to super villains." Gwen answered his query calmly but ended up getting closer to him.

The bond wasn't as overpowering as before especially since they had gone through intense love making but it still made her want to get closer.

Even Peter felt but he could finally feel that he was in control.

Gwen and Cindy had been talking over some simple vegetables and meat meal while Peter was gone. They got to know each a little bit and Gwen even gave her advice about her situation.

Hearing her words, Cindy decided to check if it works or not. She decided to show her parents some excellence and step into bigger topics while showing that she was responsible and mature.

Peter kept watch over the girls so that it didn't go beyond this level where they were sitting close to him.

"I guess we have similar views about the situation."

"I thought so." Gwen smiled at his words and held his hand. She wanted to kiss him again and again but held back.

Cindy also had the same difficulty so she quickly moved away from him as she had sat down close to him unconsciously.

Peter also felt the pull again and decided to keep in place to see how it was affecting him so that in combat situation they don't mess up.

"What about your father?"

"I will talk to him. My father is an upstanding man with a courageous heart so I want him to know. We could even work together. Just in case, I won't tell him about anything else and only tell him about my powers."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"Really? That is so sweet but it would be better if I go alone. I will call you when I need your assistance."

"I will trust your judgment and thank you for accepting my offer."

"Was Hero life getting too difficult?"

"Yes, I can't do this alone. The city is too big and many things happen at once so I can't cover everything. I can't even know everything as I depend on my eye sight and police reports. I am working on solving the issue by making some drones but it takes time to set up these things. But for the first problem, I still need a hand and other heroes aren't willing to join as they don't trust me." Peter explained the situation. He had the money from his contracts with banks and such plus the money he took from criminals so there was no financial problem.

Thinking of allies he couldn't forget Black Cat as she had been joining him whenever she could. He could see that she was still within human limits but very skilled with what she had.

She would be a good team mate as well, if she stopped messing around.

'Should I invite her tonight?' Peter wondered because she did mention trying out the hero game for awhile.

"I see. There are many problems with being a hero. It's not as easy as we had imagined but, I will try my best to lower your burden."

Peter nodded and looked towards Cindy, "What about you?"

"I'm not so sold on the hero idea, as I am not a selfless person to put my life on the line for the others. But, I am willing to give it a try and train just in case I need the powers for an emergency situation." Cindy answered, after hearing Yami's words she had given up on trying it out for fun.

"I understand and even I am not being completely selfless. I only wish to create a safe environment so that it doesn't affect my life. That's how I think of my actions and they are just a build up to my goal. I wouldn't give up my life for strangers nor would I choose them over my family. In the end, I'm also just a human." Peter explained calmly so that they won't have some kind of misconception about him and put him on a pedestal.

Hearing his words did clear away some doubts about him and made them understand his mindset.

"I will keep that in mind." Cindy said as she stared at him with a heated gaze. It seems the affect was starting to show.

Even he was having the urge and bit his hand, drawing blood. It caused the feeling to lessen.

'Pain can affect it.' Peter was starting to understand more about this bond and how they affected each other.

With time the bond won't cause them such symptoms and only make them want each other as that feeling was still inside.

"You girls can go to sleep or talk with each other, or read some books while I will go to my night duties." Peter said as he stood up and changed into his suit.

It had the heat gauntlets that amplified his fire style jutsu and even without it, it caused massive burns.

His suit now had mechanical parts and wasn't just there to cover his body. The visor could lock onto targets and save data.

The boots had booster system for the extra kick.

The chest section was also covered up for protection. He had guns on the back to shoot bullets or webs and launch web bombs for enemies that try to take him from the back while he was occupied.

He had poison pellets. He had acid pellets. He had ice pellets.

He had refurbished the rail gun used by Tombstone and he could summon it for use when he wanted. He had given one to Jess as well for emergency situations.

The armor was slim and the way he made it, people wouldn't notice the mechanical parts unless they saw through the illusion carved on it.

It had seals carved on it for increased durability.

He also made some drones to help him out in battle but it wasn't very effective yet.

Confiscating items from criminals had given him a lot of materials and he only needed time to improve certain things or create new items though he lacked certain information about some issues so he wasn't able to replicate high class items like Ironman and Reed.

It was made with directions from Yami so it was properly made and didn't hinder his movement. It was flexible and stronger than any normal armour even without the seal.

Moving towards the city, Peter got a message from Connor.

"Peter, I need your help."

"What is it?" Peter replied as he stopped on top a tall building. With his speed it didn't take him long to arrive inside the city.

"Just come to this location."

Peter had never seen the doc act so aggressive and he would have usually used please and given some explanation.

'There's something wrong and why is he there.' Peter thought he had been kidnapped for sure as he was in a place known for crime.

Without further ado, Peter swung to his destination while showing the people that the spider was on the move.

His sighting were very common once he appeared and he given short interviews, given gifts to some people, taken some gifts and had pictures taken with people.

He was the people's hero, the Hero that they could interact with and have a casual conversation.

His image was building up fine as many people had talked to him though the media wasn't really kind on him. It questioned his reasons even after he had told them part of it.

They really were persistent so Peter was thinking of meeting the big boss himself, Jonah.

Arriving at the location, he found that it was an abandoned building that seems to be falling apart. He couldn't see any lights but his senses picked up the sound of something,

"Doc, are you inside the old building?"

"Yes, where are you Peter?"

If he was normal this would have been too creepy for him and he would have called the police.

Peter decided to go inside stealthily and without making a noise but the being inside spotted him easily. It seems to have the ability to sense the disturbance in the wind and stared at him with its ferocious gaze.

"Is that you doctor?" Peter decided to show himself using an illusion so it looked like he was in his normal form.

"Peter" Connor was confused as he hadn't been able sense him coming but put it up as too much stress and a distracted mind.

His lizard had affected him greatly and it was increasing with time. His powers had grown even more over time and his instincts had awakened.

He was slowly losing his human side and it might become irreversible.

He didn't to kill his enemies and get back his items. He needed a way to become normal quickly before he lost it.

Peter was the one person he trusted the most and he was intelligent enough to know how to go about this problem for him.

But when the boy came inside and got closer, Connor felt danger from him. The young man was a predator, a dangerous being. It was his instinct screaming at him.

"What happened?"

"I ended up taking the serum because Shocker attacked the lab and took everything. I could have died so I made the choice." Connor replied with his beastly voice that was very creepy and analyzed Peter.

No matter how good of a friend Peter was, he was never this brave. It was suspicious. He had shown no reaction to his transformation except surprise. There was no hint of fear or disgust.

'It's not Peter. They are trying to capture me and they must have already taken Peter. What have I done?' Connor ended up with the conclusion that this was a fake and the real one was captured because of him.

It caused only one reaction, violence.

"Where is Peter?!" Connor roared as he slashed at Peter with his large claws.
