Natasha's eyes fluttered open, her vision blurry for a moment before the sight of Tony Stark's smirking face came into focus. Her head throbbed slightly, and she felt a slight tingling sensation coursing through her body, remnants of the electrocution she had endured moments ago. She sat up, feeling a bit disoriented but quickly regained her composure.

"Congratulations, Nat. You passed the test," Tony said, his grin widening as he offered a hand to help her up. "You're not a clone, shapeshifter, robot, or any other sort of imposter."

Natasha scowled and swatted his hand away, standing on her own. "Test? Did you really have to electrocute me to prove my identity?" She asked as he looked away awkwardly. "But I do understand the need for caution. Though you could've just asked for a blood sample or something…"

Tony chuckled. "Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. I needed to make sure you were really you."

"Well, next time, maybe give me a heads up," Natasha replied, her tone still slightly annoyed.

Tony's smile softened into a more genuine expression. "Fair enough. Anyway, we're glad to have you here. Now that we're all convinced of your identity, let's get to work."

Tom stepped forward, eager to get back on track. "Can we finally start curing the others now?"

Tony nodded. "Sure. I'll give you full access to my lab, and we can use the resources here to make the cures."

As everyone made their way through Tony's state-of-the-art lab, the atmosphere was a mix of hope and urgency. They had come so far and had overcome many obstacles, but the finish line was still ahead of them.

The lab was an impressive sight, filled with advanced technology and equipment. Tom, Tony, Andrew, and Tobey quickly got to work, using their scientific and engineering expertise to analyze the remaining villains DNA. Meanwhile, Natasha and the rest of the non-scientific people in the room observed from the sidelines, impressed by the work being done.

Hours passed in a blur as they tested different combinations and refined all sorts of serums and antidotes. They encountered setbacks and moments of frustration since Lizard and Green Goblin's little metamorphosis made them harder to study, but they persevered. The breakthroughs finally came when the sun began to rise on the horizon, illuminating the workshop with natural light.

Tom, Tobey, and Andrew set out to administer the cure to the defeated villains, starting with the Lizard, Dr. Curt Connors. They placed an oversized mask over his scaly, sleeping face and turned a knob on a canister, releasing a green gas into the mask. They watched as Dr. Connors breathed in the gas, and gradually, his monstrous form began to morph and shrink. The scales receded, and he returned to his human form, still unconscious but no longer the Lizard.

Next, they turned their attention to the Green Goblin, who was still very green. They injected Norman with the perfected serum, watching as the green-skinned, goblin-like features gradually vanished, revealing the aged face of the man beneath the madness. Though his madness should be gone with this.

As the last traces of the Goblin serum dissipated, Norman opened his eyes, confusion and fear evident in his expression. "What... what happened?" he asked, looking around at the faces of the Spider-Men.

Tobey stepped forward, his voice firm but compassionate. "You've been through a lot, Norman. But you're safe now. We'll explain everything once everyone else is cured."

Finally, it was time for Electro. Andrew approached him, a mix of determination and sympathy in his eyes. Electro still seemed lost in his thoughts, wrestling with his past actions and contemplating the possibility of a different path.

"I don't deserve to be a hero…" Electro mumbled, his voice tinged with sadness. "I've done terrible things."

Andrew placed a device on Electro's chest, and it began to hum softly, drawing the excess electricity out of his body. "We all make mistakes," Andrew said gently. "But it's never too late to change and make amends."

The electric blue energy around Electro started to dissipate, leaving him weakened but no longer a threat. The process was swift and painless, and when it was over Andrew stood by him, offering a hand of support.

Electro looked up at Andrew with a mixture of relief and sorrow. "Thank you," he whispered.

Andrew smiled warmly. "You're welcome. And it's good to have to back, Max."

As the morning sun continued it's rise, the Spider-Men stood in the lab, victorious but exhausted. The villains were no longer a danger, and they were one step closer to finding a way back to their own universes.

"We've made progress, but there's still more to do," Tobey said, his voice filled with determination. "We need to meet up with Peter and figure out what to do next."

May stepped up and gestured to the former villains. "What about them?"

"We'll just have to take 'em with us." Tony answers, unwilling to leave them in his workshop.

"Unless we're walking or taking the subway, we'll need a few cars to get there…" Tom says, missing Peter's portals already.

Tony nodded and whipped out his phone. "I'll call for a bus…"

——————

The sun had fully risen by the time Tom and the rest of the group left the Avengers Tower, heading towards his and May's apartment. They road a luxury bus through the busy streets of New York City, relaxed now that the group of villains weren't a threat anymore.

As they approached the familiar building, Tom's heart raced with anticipation and worry. He hoped that Peter didn't face any setbacks at the Sanctum, and prayed that everything was going smoothly on his end.

However, as they reached the entrance to the apartment, they were greeted not by Peter but by three menacing figures. A huge bald-headed man in a black suit stood menacingly, towering over two others. A messy haired woman win a lab coat, and an ash skinned man with white, slicked back hair.

Kingpin, Olivia Octavius, and Tombstone. They stood there, their expressions cold and calculating, seemingly waiting for somebody's arrival.

Tombstone, a tall figure with impenetrable skin and superhuman strength, moved forward as they stepped out of the bus, a cruel grin spreading across his face. "Well, well, well, if it ain't Spider-Man-" he began to taunt, but froze in place as three separate Spider-Men appeared. "Uhhh… Boss… are there supposed to be three of them?"

"One or three insects. It makes no difference." Kingpin shrugged it off.

Olivia spoke up, an interested gleam in her eyes. "Let's just kill them already." She said, her tentacles appeared from under her lab coat. "Just try to keep their bodies in tact. I need to dissect them for my research!"

Doc Ocks eyes widen as he stepped out of the bus. "Is… Is that?" He asked in shock, his own tentacles looming behind him.

Tom clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing as he glared at Tombstone and the rest. "I take it your from another universe?" he asked confidently. After all, he has two other Spider-Men, Iron Man, and Warmachine at his back. He could confidently face an entire army right now.

As Tom prepared for a possible fight, Olivia Octavius smirked in his direction. "I see we aren't the only ones," she said, her eyes moving to her male counterpart. "Fascinating…"

"It is, isn't it?" Otto replied as he eyed her up and down. "I never thought in a million years that I'd meet myself from another universe. Or that I'd be a woman… no offense."

"None taken." Olivia shakes her head uncaringly. "I'm quite glad you're here actually… I thought I'd only be dissecting Spider-Man today, but who knew I'd be able to cut myself open? This is truly a blessing for my research!"

Tony stepped up, his red and gold suit quickly building itself along his body, encasing him in a formfitting set of high tech armor. "You know, I've dealt with some crazy women in my life. One even tried to cut off my…" He gestures down at his crotch. "but you might just be the worst I've ever met."

"Can we not make everything about the women you've slept with…" Rhodes sighs as he steps up beside Tony, his armor covering his body as well.

"I never said that I slept with her…" Tony says as he turns to Rhodes, a grin forming in his face. "But I did."

Aunt May frowned alongside MJ. "Men are disgusting…"

MJ wanted to agree but then she remembered her sweet boyfriend and shook her head. "No, Tony Stark is disgusting."

Doing his best to ignore his group, Tom turned to Kingpin and his goons, his voice laced with defiance, "If you're from another universe, then give yourselves up and we'll help you as best as we can."

Kingpin chuckled darkly as his giant hands tightened into fists. "Ah, the arrogance of youth. It will be a pleasure to put you all in your place."

Olivia's tentacles twitched with anticipation. "I've been waiting for a chance to dissect a Spider-Man, and now I get three for the price of one. And myself included. Lucky me."

Tombstone cracked his knuckles, grinning menacingly. "Enough talk. Let's get the killing started, shall we?"
