(3rd Person: POV)

A grin expression on her face under her mask Gwen swung through the city, not being able to take her eyes off the chaos that had followed after the actions Maxwell Dillon, who had decided to name himself Electro, took less than an hour ago.

When he decided to manipulate power to several parts of New York City by accessing its Central Power Grid.

That Gwen and Peter learned, shortly before they departed the Web to respond to the crisis from Spinner, that Max had been chief designer of himself.

Yet now he was turning his creation from a source of hope into a tool of creation.

An act that made Gwens' blood boil with rage the more she thought about it.

"What would possess such a man to do this?" Gwen couldn't help but ask herself.

But before she had time to truly ponder this question she spotted several cars down below about to crash into each other and create another pile up on the street.

Of which they were already several.

So with that Gwen used a web line to swing lower, and then with precise accuracy webbed all the vehicles about to crash into each other.

Bringing them all to a stop, and thus stopping the crash from coming to completion.

Even so Gwen didn't even have a moment to bask in any sort of satisfaction before she noticed a different car ran into a nearby street light.

A few seconds after this occured Gwen leapt in its direction and webbed the falling street light into place, keeping it from crashing into the ground.

She then ran over to the car and ripped the driver side door off its hinges, after which she ripped the driver off of his seat and carried him to safety.

The car going up in flames a minute after she did.

Leaving Gwen with a cold sense of dread.

For she instantly realized if she had just been even a little slower in rescuing the cars driver then either he, or both of them, would've likely ended up dead.

This realization washing over her Gwen clenched her fists tightly.

'Stronger. I need to get stronger.' Gwen thought.

She also thought how much she wanted to beat down Electro for causing this mess.

But Gwen knew Peter would beat his ass enough for the both of them.

So with those thoughts in mind she returned to helping people.

A now even fiercer determination in her actions.

A grin on his face Electro floated in the middle of the Oscorp Power Grid that supplied electricity to most of New York.

Electricity dancing off his body as he controlled the grids energy as easily as breathing.

Using his powers to tap into local communications, or those that were still up, to follow along as the chaos he created unfolded.

That is until he heard a crash behind him.

When he did Electro did a 180 degree turn, and immediately found himself staring at none other than Spider-Man.

Who was wearing his insulated suit.

"Ah, Spider-Man. Good to finally meet you." Electro spoke.

...

Only for Spider-Man to say nothing at all in return.

Instead Peter simply titled his head slightly.

"What's the matter web-slinger, cat got your tongue?" Electro asked.

...

Only for Peter not to reply again.

Leaving Electro a bit stunned, since he heard Soider-Man couldn't shut up most of the time.

Yet tonight he had nothing to say.

Honestly Electro has to admit, it's a bit creepy.

"Tell me, Max, was your life truly that bad you had to endanger so many innocent people tonight?" Peter suddenly spoke up.

Asking Electro a question in a soft but steady voice.

Creeping out the man even further.

"Was it truly so horrible that you had to turn the power grid, your creation, that has given light to so many, into a weapon of destruction and a spot of darkness?"

"Shut up!" Electro shouted. "You don't know anything about me, or what I've endured! Everyone always ignoring me, walking all over me, well no more! Now, I have power and those same people will listen to what I have to say, or else."

"I see. So this is all about your own little ego? Right, understood." Peter replied.

Leading Electro to narrow his eyes in anger. "I said, don't talk like you know me!," He shouted.

Electro then fired blasts of electricity at Peter that hit him directly in the chest.

Leading Electro to smirk.

Only for that smirk to vanish a second later when the electricity died down and he found Peter perfectly fine and unharmed, standing in the same he had been.

All thanks to the insulated suit he was wearing.

Ignoring the surprised expression on Electro face Peter dusted off his shoulders. Then looked at the man once more. "Is that all? If so then that means it's my turn right? Well then, here I go." He spoke.

Then before Electro could even blink Peter shot two web lines into his chest, kicked off the ground, while also pulling Electro towards him, leading to the distance between them to close within seconds.

Then once it did Peter delivered a right hook straight to Electro face, sending him crashing into the ground.

Right after Peter shot another web line to Electro chest and pulled himself towards the man once more, this time delivering a dual kick to his chest, driving him slightly further into the ground.

Even so that wasn't enough to keep Electro down.

Turning into pure electricity he made his way back into the air.

As he did Peter looked at him once more.

"Is that really all you've got?" Peter mockingly asked. "All that "power" and that's the best you can do? Pathetic." He harshly spoke.

"Shut up!" Electro shouted.

He then began releasing blast after blast of electricity at Peter.

Only for him to nimbly dodge each and everyone using his Spider-Sense.

Peter slowly moving closer to Electro as he dodged his attacks.

Not only to attack him again but also to train his Spider-Sene.

For another goal Peter had set to himself was to eventually boost his Spider-Sense to level of Assassin Spider and pull some Observation Haku techniques in the future and be able to glimpse several seconds in the future.

"You really are showing me." Peter spoke

Having closed the distance to Electro.

"Showing me how deluded you are after gaining a small bit of power that is." He said

Getting in close and going to deliver another punch to Electro.

This time straight in the gut.

But as Peter did this time Electro instantly turned into electricity and reformed behind him.

He then unleashed a massive blast of electricity at Peter.

But before it could hit Peter webbed to one of giant conductors that made up the power grid and avoided the attack.

He then used his left arm and leg to hang off one.

"So disappointing. So much potential, wasted." Peter said.

"Shut up!" Electro shouted. Electricity firing off his body in all directions when he did. "Like I said, you don't know me, you don't know what I've gone through. Especially someone like you! Loved and respected by others! Treated with deceny!"

"All of which I earned by using my power responsibly. And maybe in the future you will too Max." Peter spoke. "Anyway, let's finish this." He said.

Peter then instantly moved to change his web cartridges to electro webbing.

Once he did he started jumping between the giant conductors, Electro following him.

"You can't get away from me!" He shouted.

Continuing to follow Peter.

Yet Peter said nothing in response.

He just kept moving between the giant conductors, until he reached one of the grids generators.

When he did Peter once more webbed Electro in the chest.

He then webbed the generator and connected the two web lines.

The result of which instantly sent an abundance of electricity into Electto.

Leading him to cry out in pain.

"Aghh!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.

Peter ignoring this until he decided to cut Electro connection of the generator.

Leading the man to pass out and fall flat to the ground.

Given Peter had just overloaded him.

But not enough to kill him like in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 film.

At least not today.

But if Electro has gone any farther....

Well Peter had already resolved not to be a hero like Batman and indirectly kill hundreds of people over something as trivial as a single moral.

Simply put if Peter meets a true villain their ass is grass before they can even blink.

Jumping over to mask Peter landed in front of the now unconscious man.

After he did he webbed him up.

Peter then began waiting for the authorities to arrive, since he had contacted them and given them Electro location before heading out from the Web with Gwen to deal with their current mess.

Which should be better now that Electro wasn't holding the entire Big Apple hostage.

Even so Peter knew he couldn't rest, since there was still work to be done.

No sooner than he thought that than the police arrived, being led by Yuri Watanabe.

Who wasn't alone.

As Peter spotted walking beside her none other than S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phillip J. Coulson.

Peter not surprised.

Since he knew he would encounter SH.I.E.L.D. sooner or later, given his activities.

He just hoped he could avoid them until at least the Avengers were formed.

But it looks like now that's not an option.

Oh well.

At least now maybe he'll be able to troll Nick Fury.

And wouldn't that be fun.

Just thinking about it brought a smile to Peter's face.

So with that he got ready to start that particular operation.

One Peter knew would definitely be glorious in the end.
