Author's note: Took a little bit longer than expected, but here it is! Chapter 13!

"Move around to the back!" Tony yelled, firing a repulsor beam at Unicorn, who moved around it easily. The turquoise villain came charging at the airborne Iron Man and leapt up, bringing Tony into the pavement.

Peter bent backwards to avoid another laser fire from Killer Shrike. "Kind of" He jumped out of the way of another blast, "busy here!" Peter hopped backwards to land on an abandoned taxi. "Is it me, or are these guys a whole lot better than our first encounter?" Once again, he was chased from his perch by Killer Shrike and went swinging to meet the floating supervillain.

Tony eventually got out of Unicorn's hitting range and chucked a mailbox at the guy, which he plowed right through. "You have no idea." Iron Man once again took to the skies and was running every possible scan on both villains. Besides the obvious tech upgrades, Tony was getting the feeling that these two were literally upgraded on both physical and mental levels. Traces of a weird chemical were coming up. "Does the name 'Globulin Green' mean anything to you?" It had taken a whole lot of digging, but Tony had come up with a positive match for the chemicals in their opponents' bloodstream.

Stopping instantly, Peter's eyes widened. "No" he whispered to himself. Then he replied to Tony, "too much. Don't tell me these goons have it?"

"Large amounts." Tony blasted Shrike out of mid-air. "Should I be worried?" As if the answer wasn't already presenting itself.

Spiderman hooked Unicorn into the side of a bus. "Extremely. The last time I encountered someone with controlled doses, it was bad. Really, really bad." Harry's life would always be upside down because of Norman's choices….Harry! Could he have been behind this? Supplying Stane with Oscorp tech? Why? To get back at him? At Spiderman? Why? It wasn't his fault! Norman chose his path. He tried to help him, but….

"Look out!" Tony called, snapping Peter out of his thoughts. The webhead jumped out of the way just in the knick of time of an SUV.

Spidey had to figure this out somehow. "They're enhanced. Almost as powerful as I am." They couldn't just wait around until the formula wore off. Who knew how long that would take? In the meantime, the heroes were getting slaughtered.

"Oh that's wonderful. Just fantastic!" The sarcasm was strong in that one. Tony used his force field to knock Unicorn away. His armor's defense was getting lower with every hit.

Globulin Green, super armored suits, upgraded weapons? What happened to the B-listers that Iron Man talked about? Someone did not want those two walking away. Spiderman grabbed onto Shrike, ripping away one of the new laser cannons attached to his shoulder. "Careful, you might take an eye out." He quipped, jumping far out of the way.

"We can't keep this up forever. " Tony stated, knocking Unicorn back a few yards.

"You're telling me! Try not having a suit of armor." Peter bent backwards and sideways multiple times to avoid rapid laser fire.

"Noted. But we need a plan." More hitting. More punching. More pain.

"Hey, don't look at me, you're the genius with the flying suit." Webs shot out, blocking Shrike's path for a while, buying Peter some distance. He was standing little chance against this kind of arsenal.

For what seemed like eternity, the heroes were fighting relentlessly against the rage-filled villains. After thirty minutes of back and forth, the teenage heroes were starting to lose their ground. The supplier of the globulin green must have given these guys max dosage because fighting the Hulk would have been an easier task. These guys were fast, agile, able to counter pretty much anything thrown at them, and armed to the teeth.

Spiderman was thrown off to the side, getting up for the ump-teenth time. His suit was starting to come apart at the webs. But he wouldn't give up. The webhead got to his feet, but another laser blast sent him flying, crashing then rolling again. Every fiber of his being was screaming in pain. But there was no way he could give up.

Iron Man was taken up by Killer Shrike who then proceeded to launch the battered suit from gut-wrenching heights. The red and gold hero crashed into pavement and scraped across the unforgiving ground, bouncing a few times then sending sparks flying everywhere. Alarms and notifications were going off like the Fourth of July inside Tony's helmet. Rhodey and Pepper's concern reached both heroes.

It wasn't working. Fighting these suped up villains was proving futile. They were going to get themselves killed at that rate. They needed to think of something and fast. Neither of them would last long if they kept getting batted around like that. Both had seen their fair share of beatings, but nothing like this.

"I've got it!" Iron Man announced, distracting his attacker momentarily, long enough to launch himself backwards. "Spiderman, get going!" He yelled before turning off the external speakers. It was now a private conversation between the Armory, Peter, and tony. "Peter, keep them off me and start getting some distance. I have an idea, but I need some time. Can you get them going?" He hated to ask that of Peter and leave him alone, but something needed to be done and he was going to need the computer systems.

"Um…." Peter jumped back onto a mailbox. "I'll see what I can do." He wasn't so sure, and he would have loved to know what was going on in the billionaire's head. But he trusted him.

"Great." Tony got up and blasted off, Killer Shrike was hot in pursuit. Until he heard the sing-song call of Spiderman.

"Oh boys~" Peter called, gaining the attention of both villains. Straining every muscle in his body, Spiderman hauled a mid-sized sedan back with his webbing like a super slingshot. As soon as they looked around, it was released. The car shot out, hitting both Unicorn and Killer Shrike with a small explosion thanks to a leaky fuel line and the villains attempting to blow it up with lasers.

And with that, Iron Man blasted away top speed, out of sight.

Now Spiderman was all alone with two of the deadliest opponents he had ever faced. And he had been against some gnarly foes. "Seems like my tag partner left. Guess you'll have to settle for me." Killer Shrike was looking for the Armored hero after recovering. It didn't take long for both to start pursuing Peter in a crazy game of Destroy and Chase.

Racking up millions of dollars of property damage, Peter led the way while Killer Shrike and Unicorn pursued him. They were right on his proverbial tail! There were times when Shrike would get really close and then Spiderman would end up flipping backwards mid-swing, launching himself onto a side of a building where Unicorn would then try to blast him out of existence.

By now he was starting to get exhausted. He was running on fumes. It was insanity. He hoped whatever Tony was doing, he would hurry up. There was no way Peter could keep that chase up forever.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

As soon as Tony had left, his course changed to go back down to the subway station where the crushed bits of cannon and field generator laid lifeless. "Rhodey! Pull up everything you can for the specs to these." A direct line to the Armory was opened.

"There's not much more you can do, man. It doesn't look good." Rhodey said, viewing the wrecked pieces of machinery all around Tony.

"Neither will Peter if I don't try. These are the only things I know that can generate the power we need to take down Shrike and Unicorn." Tony had already begun putting parts back together.

With a sigh, but not seeing any other solution, Rhodey began digging through Tony's files. Finally a few that were flagged important. "Okay, sending them to you now."

"Awesome. Just a second." Tech specs started scrolling over Tony's vision. He began salvaging everything he could. The cannon was beaten up, but with some tweaking, it looked much better.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"Slowing down, guys! I think I'm catching a second wind." More like fifth wind by then, but he wasn't about to say that. Never faltering, Peter managed to keep them going for blocks. Around corners, back the other way, even around a building. Turns out he wasn't too bad at stalling. "You know, they say travelling makes you wiser, but about now, I'm starting to think 'they' are wrong." That trip had cause nothing but pain! And now he was going up against them.

Peter was pretty sure there was a huge helicarrier full of specially trained agents hovering above New York. You'd think they could spare a few men for this. They were kind of wrecking Long Island. Well, he was leading a pair of super-charged villains through the city, but that was not his fault! He needed to do something with them that didn't include using him as a punching bag.

Landing on a nearby rooftop, he seemed to have lost the two walking weapons. "Please tell me you're almost done. I'm already on my third set of web cannisters." During the initial fight with Unicorn and Killer Shrike, he had run out mid-fight. He had been on defense so much that he had no choice to but to keep his distance. Anything else would get him crushed. His field trip through Long Island wasn't helping either. Between the commute and trying to barricade some cross-streets so that civilians wouldn't get in the line of fire, he was on his last set of webs. Never good.

There was delay, Tony must have been busy. Unfortunately he couldn't wait. The ledge he was hiding/strategically taking shelter behind was blown up. Peter replaced the empty web cartridges with fresh ones. Killer Shrike came up. "Can't you see I'm trying to talk here?" Peter asked, mockingly. Then proceeded to blind the airborne villain in le eyeballs with le webbing. "See what I did there? Ha." Spidey jumped off the building into a free fall, catching himself, using the momentum to gain speed. "Even in the face of imminent destruction, I still have it." At this point, his banter was the only thing keeping him sane. Because inside, he was freaking out. WHERE WAS IRON MAN?

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Peter had called at a really bad time. Tony was at a crucial point in repairing the field generator. It was basically the defining point in whether or not it would take the energy charge, or immediately implode. Unfortunately it wasn't as simple as connecting the blue wire.

The chip inside the machine was so damaged. Much like everything else in that tarnished shell. But it wasn't completely lost. When a few lights came on, Tony let out a breath. It worked. He opened the communication links back on. "Peter, where are you?"

"Oh you know, corner of Pain Street and Suffering Avenue." He flipped up onto a balcony ledge, dodging some laser fire. "Um, hold on a sec." Manhattan, he knew like the back of his webslingers. Long Island, completely lost. Diving for the street, Spidey tried to catch a glimpse of one of the intersection streets. Before it was completely blown up. "Any chance you can GPS?" He couldn't stay in one place long enough.

"Yeah. Hang on….Rhodey?"

"On it. There you go." His voice came in.

When the coordinates got to Tony, Iron Man was on the move with two very important pieces of equipment. "On my way."

Back with Spiderman, he was still keeping the parade of destruction moving. "Yay" It sounded more sarcastic than he meant it to.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Okay. Take a right at your next intersection and then a left at the next one." Tony finished the set up. Now it was up to Peter to get the baddies to come under the box so he could pull the stick.

The webslinger sighed, "aye aye. I hope you know this is going on my list of things that I never want to do again. It's all fun and games until two insanely upgraded crazies are on your tail. And not the fun kind."

Two blocks later, "here we come!" And in the next moment, Spiderman appeared around the corner. "You aren't serious."

As the street came into view, he saw Iron Man with the death cannon and the field energy-thing activated with Iron Man in it. "I am. I'm channeling power into the cannon. All you have to do is aim."

"And then if I miss, you'll be a dead battery and I'll just be dead. Great plan." Peter launched himself forward, leaving the other two in the dust, finally able to go full speed and lose them. He ran behind the controls.

"Trust me, if you have any better suggestions, feel free to share with the rest of the class." Tony said, preparing his armor for the power drain. This time, he wasn't turning on the limiters. His suit was giving off so much juice, it would give the Living Laser a headache. With the auto-firing disabled from when they shut it down in the subway, it was all up to Peter.

Of course, it also meant the fields protecting the generator and cannon were gone, leaving the one that drew power from the armor. Peter would have to take down the villains before they got a chance to destroy anything important.

"This is crazy!" Peter aimed as soon as the two villains came running around the corner.

"How's your aim?" Tony asked, getting nervous about his draining power levels.

"I'm not street pizza, so I think that's pretty good." Spidey senses for the win! They basically did all the aiming for him. Without them he would not be able to operate as smoothly as he did. "And here. We. Go." He lined up the cannon and took the shot. Took out Killer Shrike. He went down and did not get back up.

"Hurry!" The suit was drawing from his heart implant reserve now.

"Trying." Unicorn was moving. Then finally, the cannon fired off. Though the speed of the laser was almost invisible to the human eye, it seemed like an eternity before they could tell if the shot had hit it's target…..

"YES!" Peter cheered, shutting down the cannon and the field generator, releasing Tony. It had so little power now, but it would be enough to get them home.

"We did it." Tony breathed. In the comm links, Pepper and Rhodey were silent for a whole two seconds before there was a mini party on the other end.

Peter swung over to the toasted villains. Tony's suit was going back into power saving mode so he would take care of making sure there weren't any getaways. Killer Shrike and Unicorn were still breathing, but when the globulin green wore off, they were definitely going to need an icepack.
