answers to reviewers questions or statements:

christain a lebron: This Osbron's a sort of mix of the two. What Cheetah did was to mess with Diana, though wheter or not she'll try it again and go even further is another matter entierly. He's still sadly pinning for her, it's just he's got a little more important things on his mind, mainly Norman's return. Trying to hook up with Diana again is kinda a low priority at the moment. Yes, Kaine will be seen soon.

thatonereader04: They will but it'd be poor taste for them to mention it now, only days after what happened with Graves and even then, their all smart enough to know that Peter will likely never give them the full story, not now anyhow.

LLHOTF: I think I'm gonna go with this being a harem and Julia will most defiently be involved in it. No, one of them isn't going to die which in turn will trigger a full on takeover of the Void who will then procede to butcher as many people as he can. Against the entire League, the Void would crush it ten times over, they'd need the Justice Society, the Titans, the Teen titans, the Outsiders, hell even a few dozen Green Lanterns just to stand a chance, like how Marvel threw the entire current rosters of the X-men, FF, Avengers and Inhumans at the time at it in the comics. Peter in this is about 41 at the moment. As for ever having a family again, yes, he will.

BigTofu: Have you ever heard of Parker Luck by any chance?

Logic Soldier: It was Circie possessed by Mephisto. Up until a few chapters ago it was the black and white 2099 suit, but now it's the 'Dark Suit' from the PS4 Spider-man game, with spider arms. This Superman isn't too fond of Peter, he thinks the guy's a bit of a loose cannon and a small part of him dislikes the idea that someone like Spider-man is giving him orders. New 52 Superman never seemed fond of people having any sort of authority over him especially ones that he saw as weaker than him. As for the dislike being one sided, it's steadily growing to both ways.

Hbarrera98: No, the Void dosent have that kind of affect on Peter's luck and your right that the Cheetah won't be satisfied with just a bit of kissing and dry humping in the jungle with her least favorite Amazon's friend, she got plans for him.

DarkJoey: No, it's not.

Batros940: Yeah but Peter's dealt with Norman for so long he more or less knows what the man's capable of so while he's worried, he knows the man won't be making any moves anytime soon, hence why he's made it so that Peter can't take him out now because in return Norman knows how Peter thinks. The Black Spider in this story is part of a four man team, or was until the one we saw last chapter killed two of them and the other got sent to Belle Reeve where he's for the moment on the Suicide Squad. And on that note, this Black Spider is vastly different from the one in Assault on Arkham, who's based off the Black Spider that's already been arrested. This was all mentioned way back in the Black Spiders arc and the end of Way of the Spider. Yeah, in the New 52, she and Barbara were good friends before the latter became the Cheetah. Well Superman and the Flash can't keep tabs on Spider-man 24/7, they have their own lives and issues to deal with. She retreated to her jungle to escape capture and if Spider-man did follow her, she'd have the homefield advantage where's trying to hunt Peter in New York would give him the advantage. It's only been a few days to a week since the end of the last arc that dealt with Graves. Just because she thinks pushing him away is what's best for Peter doesn't mean she's stopped caring for him and seeing her arch nemesis trying sleep with him on the jungle floor upset her, more at Cheetah than Peter.

Guest: Yes, the Spectre and Dr. Mahattan will both appear at some point in this story though the latter won't play too much of a role until the sequel. He was referring more to the likes of Cyttorak, Cthon and the Spectre. He's appearing soon, not much to be confused about.

Vitor: He has a healing factor, a pretty good one. If he can grow back eyes, he can grow back teeth or have a rib repair itself in a few hours.

William: In a manner of speaking.

George Edwards: No, he won't. Peter's reasoning for leaving the League will be because of something else entirely.

DeimosVulcan12: Yes Peter's encountered Morlun in the previous reality and he and a few others of his family will appear again later on. Yes this reality's Miles Morales will appear, as for him becoming Spider-man too, perhaps, or perhaps he'll take another path like his 616 counterpart did. No, no War of the Realms Elements will be in this story for the Justice League Dark portions, mainly because half the realms involved are pretty much gone by this point or it's major players are all dead. Yes Peter will face off against Doomsday at some point and yes he will be in a stable relationship. DC rebirth will happen in the sequel of this story, along with Doomsday Clock. His healing factor is strong enough to regrow eyes, re-growing teeth shouldn't be too hard.

Spartan of Chaos: It will show up, but it'll have a few additions to it.

kaffeenator666: As Peter uses more and more of the Void, his appearance and personality will begin to show clear signs of change and influence. When Peter utilizes the Void his main powers are amplified based on the amount he's using and he gains the ability to manipulate darkness and several other powers it has in the comics, like psionic based abilities, control of darkness and the weather, nigh immortality and to a degree molecule manipulation. Yes I'll get to Grail the closer we get to the events of Darkseid War.

"So, you ever been here before?" Zatanna asked as she and Julia were making their way down the hall that would lead them to the door to the Oblivion Bar.

Both women were dressed to the nines, Zatanna in a black mesh shirt and black jeans with knee high heeled boots while Julia was wearing a pair of black pants that Zatanna lent her for the night along with a red shirt and a black jacket over it and open toed heels. The clothes were a bit tight on Julia, being a little taller and bustier than the raven haired magician.

"Uh, no, I haven't" Julia said with a shake of her head, trying to ignore how tight the shirt on her felt. It seemed Zatanna had a smaller chest compared to her own "Heard of it, but never had a reason or a way to see it"

"Well I'm sure you'll love it" Zatanna assured the older woman as they arrived at the door and she gave the password to the bouncer before he could even open his mouth.

The man stopped and scowled at Zatanna before he stepped aside and allowed them entry while also giving them the whole 'behave' spiel. Zatanna barely batted an eye at the man as she led Julia into the bar. The strawberry blonde blinked at the scene before her and tried to not wince at the sudden mystical energy pounding against her supernatural senses.

"Welcome to the Oblivion bar" Zatanna said as she spread her arms out as a table suddenly appeared before the two women along with a small assortment of drinks "Help yourself, it'll be on Peter's tab"

"Peter has a tab here?" Julia said with surprise as she took a seat at the table.

Zatanna nodded "Yeah, back when I still performed for this place on a regular he'd stop by and watch the show. Or just come to cool down and relax and have a drink or two"

Julia frowned dat the second part "He drinks often?"

"No, I don't think so" Zatanna said with a shake of her head "I mean, he doesn't get shit faced usually"

"But he still drinks, a lot?" the older woman said with an unnerved expression.

"I guess... he started drinking more since his fight with Graves" Zatanna said with confusion 'I man he's not an alcoholic, not like Constantine is, so what's the issue?'

Julia simply sighed and rubbed the ridge between her eyes in aggravation 'Dammit Peter...'

The last time that Peter started to drink in such excessive amounts was when Rachel was taken from them. It got so bad that Felicia had to check Peter into rehab for almost seven months.

"Was... was Peter a recovering alcoholic?" Zatanna asked in an hesitant tone.

"What?" Julia said, looming up at Zatanna.

"Peter, is he, or was he a recovering alcoholic?" Zatanna asked again, hoping that the strawberry blonde woman didn't say yes. Last thing she needed was to be flat out told she was helping the center of her love delve back into a very unhealthy habit after a lot of work was probably put into dragging him away from any kind of bottle.

Peter drunk, with the kind of power he had at his disposal was a rather terrifying thought.

"He was..." Julia said with a saddened expression "After... after something bad happened"

"Does it... does it have to do with January or July?" Zatanna questioned.

The mistress of magic watched as Julia's eyes seemed to darken at the sounds of those months "It might... why?"

"I was just curious is all" Zatanna said in a careful tone, realizing that whatever the days in those months meant to Peter, they also meant something to Julia here "He doesn't seem himself around those times. He seems angrier, darker... less friendly"

Julia didn't respond right away, instead she diverted her attention to the glass in her hands, the liquid specifically and stared at the small ripples in her drink from the base of the band that was playing on stage. After a few minutes of brooding silence, she sighed and raised the drink to her lips and downed the liquor in one go before she slammed the glass on the table, causing Zatanna to flinch.

"You can thank Norman fucking Osborn for that" she hissed in a dark voice.

"What'd he do?" Zatanna asked and felt a sense of dread build up inside her as Julia looked up at her with dark, pain stricken eyes.

"He took everything from us"

Whatever lighthearted mood could have been between the two before the conversation started died immediately at the dark atmosphere that settled between the two women. Zatanna found the tension a little hard to breath while Julia simply glared at the table top before she suddenly stood up.

"Is something the matter?" Zatanna asked, wondering if her questioning had ruined the evening beyond help.

"No, I'm just heading for the bathroom" Julia said as she looked around for signs that pointed her to a restroom "I need... I need to-"

"Take a few minutes to collect yourself?" Zatanna asked with a knowing look.

"...Yes" Julia said with a sigh.

"Go ahead, the bathroom is through that door-" Zatanna pointed to a doorway on the other end of the room "-And to the left"

"Thank you" Julia said as she followed Zatanna's directions while said woman remained at the table and watched the lighter haired woman go.

So far Julia was proving to be an interesting woman in the mistress of magic's eyes. The older woman was a bit guarded and a little shy but she wasn't too bad in her opinion though she also seemed to have some sort of weight on her, not all too different from Peter. Honestly Zatanna wondered if all people connected to the Web of Life and Destiny and dressed up like a spider or named themselves after one had that going for them.

"Penny for your thoughts?" a bemused voice spoke up behind Zatanna a few minutes after Julia left, causing her to turn and see Felicia standing there with a smirk before she made her way around the table and pull out the chair that was next to Julia's.

"Felicia? How'd you get in here?" Zatanna said in surprised to the white haired woman sitting down in front of her.

"I have my ways" Felicia said with a confident grin.

Zatanna frowned at this before she noticed the Bar's bouncer at the door with a black eye glaring murderously at Felicia's back before he slunk back outside. The mistress of magic shook her head in exasperation as Julia returned from the bathroom. Her eyes widened at the sight of Felicia sitting across from Zatanna in the chair next to her's.

"Felicia?" Julia said in surprise "What are you doing here?"

"Just came by to let you know that I'm heading back to Washington tonight" Felicia said as she took a look at Julia's drink with a raised brow at the odd glow it had before she turned her gaze back towards the woman "And to tell you to let Peter know I'll be in touch"

"Couldn't you just tell him yourself?" Julia asked with a frown as she sat down next to Zatanna.

"Yes but if I did he'd get that sad look in his eye at me leaving even though it's for the best and that big brooding cute bastard of a boy scout you would take home to mom would agree and make me feel bad and reluctant to leave" Felicia said with a sigh before she grinned "You know how it is with him"

"Don't I ever" Julia said with a fond smile on her face that caused Zatanna to almost scowl in annoyance.

"You both seem to really close with Peter" she observed as she played back the various interactions between the three since that night at OsCorp Tower.

"Known each other since we were practically kids" Felicia said with a shrug "I was his first... well everything"

"Almost everything" Julia corrected with a sad grin.

"...Almost" Felicia conceded with a raising of her drink "To those no longer here with us"

"He never talks about you two" Zatanna revealed suddenly and watched the two women's reactions closely.

Julia had no response while Felicia rolled her eyes "Yeah, he tends to do that. More out of him thinking if he doesn't mention us, someone that has a vendetta against him won't somehow overhear him and come find us and hurt us to get back at him for something he's done as either Spider-man or Peter Parker. You laugh but you'd be surprise how often it's happened, especially with his luck"

"And we've shared a lot of bad times together because of it..." Julia said in a quiet tone as she adverted her gaze from the two women "They tend to out number the good times... and bring up even worse memories"

Felicia loudly cleared her throat as she removed her jacket and placed it on the back of her seat band leaned back and gave Zatanna a grin that caused an unknown feeling to run up and down the mistress of magic's spine.

"So Zatanna, how'd you and Peter meet?" she asked.

Zatanna frowned at Felicia's question "Why do you care?"

Felicia shrugged "Just curious is all. It may not seem like it, but Peter's pretty picky about who he associates with. Even more picky on who he lets into his bed. So I'm curious is to how you two met and what impression you gave him that allowed you to get so close is all. Trust me baby, your tits and ass, good as they are, aren't what let you get as close as you both are now"

The raven haired woman's eyes narrowed a little at this "We met back when I was still with Nick and John. We were trying to find the books of magic and came across an artifact that was connected to the Web of Life, so we sent John to go and find Peter and bring him to us to help"

Felicia's grin grew a little as a brow rose "Back when you were with Nick and John huh? Like a coven or... three amigos?"

"Three amigos" Zatanna revealed with a shrug "No crime in what we were"

Julia looked between the two in confusion "I'm sorry, but am I missing something?"

Felicia nodded towards Zatanna "Our little mage here apparently used to get spit roasted every other night by old Constantine and little Necro when they weren't fighting the things that go bump in the night"

"Felicia!" Julia hissed in an exasperated tone with a blush growing on her face while Zatanna shrugged, unbothered by Felicia's comment.

"We had a good thing going and we liked one another" the powerful mage said as she took a sip of her drink "And for the record, I didn't get spit roasted every other night... sometimes I fucked one or both of them and let them finish one another off when I was done"

"And your a dominant type too, huh, never would have figured" Felicia said with a laugh before she noticed Julia and grinned "Why are you acting all flustered Julia? I know for a fact what a freak you can be in the sheets. My legs still get all tingly when I think about it"

"Please don't" Julia said as she hid her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment as memories of her more wild youth flashed through her mind.

Felicia glanced at Zatanna with a wink "She helped me be Peter's firsts for a lot of things. First threesome, first foursome, first time getting scissored while I suck a dick on top of the Empire State building in the middle of the night, first on the wall sixty nine while he sticks his third limb up my ass-"

Felicia was cut off by a glob of psi-web fired from Julia's wrist, casuing the white haired beauty to quirk a brow in surprise while Julia glared at her in annoyance. Zatanna snickered as Felicia glared at Julia while the webs slowly dissolved from her lips.

"If I didn't love you as much as I love Peter and not used to having my webs cover my mouth by now, I'd rip your nails out for that" Felicia grumbled as she downed her drink in one go.

Julia responded with a snort as she took a sip of her own drink as Zatanna turned her attention to her.

"So, Julia, how'd you and Peter meet?" Zatanna asked as she folded her arms across her chest. If she was gonna be questioned on how she met Peter, she might as well see how he came across these two beauties.

"My father was the previous Center of the Web and I gained some of his powers when I was born, like my Psi-webs" Julia answered as she cupped her drink with both hands and stared at the liquid inside the glass "And after a while, me and Peter just started to slowly gravitate towards one another, with some prodding from my predecessor as the Madam Web, Cassandra. Though I don't think she expected us to get as close as we did when we met"

This peeked Zatanna's curiosity "How close did you guys get?"

"Close enough" Julia responded, her tone slowly becoming more and more guarded.

Zatanna blinked at the tone before she glanced at Felicia "And you?"

"I let him stumble across me stealing some shit and he struck a very nice impression to me" Felicia said with a grin.

'Why am I not surprised the spy dressed woman is also a thief' Zatanna thought dryly before she suddenly sensed someone behind them. It only took a second for her to recognize the mystical energy pouring off the person and frowned as she turned towards them "Really Wanda? Stalking?"

Julia and Felicia both turned as they noticed Wanda approaching their table with a slight stumble in her stride. The Sakovian woman glared at Zatanna before her eyes flickered towards Felicia and Julia and she spoke with a notable slur in her voice "My, I didn't know Zatanna had any friends outside of Constantine and Nick, it's a 'pleasure' to meet you"

"Same" Felicia said with a friendly smile, ignoring the way that Wanda said 'pleasure'.

The world class thief had done her homework on this reality's Wanda Maximoff before she ever made contact with Peter again and safe to say Felicia made sure to never cross this woman's path in a dark alley in the middle of the night. This reality's Wanda was a far cry from the sweet gothic witch with a libido the size of a house that she used to know, and occasionally stole from because it was funny and would lead to great sex. Julia responded with a small nervous wave and returned her attention to her drink while Zatanna simply scowled at the scarlet clad woman.

"What do you want Wanda?" Zatanna demanded.

"I just wanted to say hi" Wanda replied with a glare aimed towards Zatanna as she held a hand up and summoned a drink to her palm before taking a sip from it "And ask if Peter's been alright lately. I haven't heard from him since Alaska"

"Well that's because he has better things to do then chalk it up with some street mage slut that smells like a brewery" Zatanna bit out with a glare towards the drunken woman "Now beat it before you ruin mine and my friends moods even more than you've already have"

Wanda growled at Zatanna as her eyes glowed crimson and was just about to lash out at the raven haired woman before her when Felica was suddenly by her side with the same friendly grin as earlier.

"Hey now guys, let's not fight. There's no crime in all of us being attracted to a nerd in a spider suit. Which comes to think of it sounds a little weird" she said as she looked back and forth between the two powerful women while Julia looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there at the moment.

"You, shut it" Wanda said as her gaze flickered to Felicia with annoyance before she turned her attention back to Zatanna and she leaned towards the still sitting woman "And you'd do well to be careful how you talk to me you little entitled little cunt. Just because Peter likes having you ride him when it's convenient doesn't mean he'll keep you around forever"

Zatanna shot out of her seat with a glare, her eyes glowing with power as she got right into Wanda's face. She had to hold back a gag at the strong aroma of alcohol that was clinging to the woman like some sort of perfume.

"I'm more than ready to take this outside if you are you pathetic excuse of a mage. At least I didn't need to whore myself out for my abilities like you did!"

Wanda's eyes widened at this before they narrowed and the dark crimson energy building in her eyes darkened even more until they almost looked black and the veins around her eyes began to glow under her skin. The two magical beauties stared one another down as a dark tension filled the air before Julia cleared her throat and stood up cautiously.

"Uh guys, can't we just-"

"And who the hell are you?" Wanda asked as her gaze snapped towards her.

"I'm Julia-" the second bearer of the Madam Web title began before Wanda cut her off with a dark glare.

"Are you one of Zatanna's little whore friends that think she can take what belongs to me!?"

Julia was taken back by this, as were Zatanna and Felicia "W-What? No I-"

"He's mine!" Wanda said as she slapped her hands down on the three girls' table, causing it to shimmer before it suddenly fell apart into ash at the four's feet as the energy from Wanda began to darken to the point that several mystics on the boarders of the bar's main room suddenly teleported away while a few others began to discreetly make their way to the door "MINE, MINE, MINE, MINE!"

Julia took a step back at the intensity of Wanda's glare before Zatanna stepped between them and held her hands up "Wanda, I think you should-"

The mistress of magic was cut off by a sudden bolt of crimson energy firing our from Wanda's body and slamming into Zatanna's chest and sending her flying across the room and into a small group of Dwarf mages who were playing a game of twenty one.

"Ohhh shit..." Felicia said as she and Julia backed away as Wanda began to breath heavier and heavier as she glared at the two women.

"He's mine!"

""Felicia..." Julia said in a low voice as she kept her eyes on Wanda's form.

"Yeah?" Felicia whispered back.

"Go make sure Zatanna's alright" Julia said as her spider-sense began to flare as Wanda snarled at them "I'll keep her busy"

"Shouldn't we just let this place's guys handle her?" Felicia asked as she saw several of the Bar's bouncers move towards Wanda before the Sakovian woman blinked and they suddenly fell apart into small penny sized cubes "Oh... never mind. Their kinda a mess on the floor now"

"I wont let you take him from me!" Wanda said as she took a shaky step towards Julia and Felicia "He's mine. He was given to me and I'm not going to let some fucking bitch take what I'm owed!"

"You sure you can take her?" Felicia said as she glanced at Julia with unease.

It wasn't that she doubted Julia's abilities which have obviously grown since she last saw her years ago in their previous reality. It was just Wanda Maximoff was, is ranked among the most powerful mystical forces on Earth and she not even a minute ago just casually blasted another such force away without even moving. So either Julia had grown more powerful than she believed or she has something up her sleeve to give her an edge over the clearly unstable Sakovian.

"I'll be fine" Julia said before her body tensed and she suddenly shoved Felicia away while she leaned back as several crimson bolts of chaos energy flew over Julia's body and slammed into the wall behind her, burning and scarring the surface.

At this, the rest of the Bar's patrons sprang up and headed for the door while Wanda let out an enraged yell as she brought up a hand and summoned crimson fire and threw it towards Julia who ducked under the mystical ball o fire and replied with several psi-web lines. Wanda's eyes narrowed as a wall of scarlet energy appeared in front of her to block the web lines. With a wave of her hand she sent it towards Julia only for the older woman to leap over the wall, the top just brushing against the bottom of her feet. Julia landed in a roll before she sprung up and sent a punch into Wanda's face that caused the woman to stumble back and her hands to fly to her now bleeding nose.

Julia made to web the younger woman down when suddenly several magic circles appeared in the air around her and black barbed chains erupted from them and quickly wrapped themselves around Julia's arms, legs and torso.

"What the- AHHHHHHH!" Juia began before she broke out into a agonized scream as the chains began to dig into her skin, tearing into muscle and drawing blood as they lifted her into the air while Wanda glared at her with an enraged, blood stained snarl on her face.

"Die bitch" Wanda hissed in a voice that didn't seem to belong to her as she had the chains slam Julia into the ground several times before throwing her towards a distant wall.

Julia did her best to turn her body so that her back would hit the wall instead of her front. It didn't make the impact any more tolerable, but at least she had less things in the back than the front to worry about being damaged.

'Nothing hurts more than your boobs being used as freakin airbags' Julia thought as she slid down the wall and landed on her knees.

She glanced up to see Wanda stumbling towards her with a glare on her darkened face. There was something wrong about the younger woman, something unnatural, or as unnatural as a mystic could be. Her movements were awkward and seemed a little force, as if she wasn't used to such movements. And then there was her behavior, even though Julia had gathered this reality's Wanda was vastly different from the one she knew, this seemed a bit out of character for even her.

'I doubt it's the drinks here' Julia thought as she slowly rose back to her feet, ignoring the pain in her back as Wanda made an inhuman growl at her.

"He belongs to me!" Wanda hissed.

"And just what do you want with him Wanda?" Julia asked with a frown as she briefly glanced over to see Felicia trying to wake Zatanna up.

"He's owed to me" Wanda snapped as she took a step forward, the ground cracking under her foot as crimson energy leaked into the small spaces under her feet and into the floor.

"Who says he's owed to you?" Julia asked with confusion "What makes you think you have any claim on him"

"He says I do" Wanda said as her body began to shake "He says he's mine and I deserve him!"

"Him who?" Julia pressed before she leaped out of the way of a column of scarlet energy fired from Wanda's hands.

Julia landed on her hands and used them to spring board her out of the way of another blast of chaotic energy fired from Wanda. The Web of Fate's seer quickly made her way to the bar and hopped over the counter before she ducked and looked around for something she could possibly use to even the odds a little more. Instead all she found was the bartender cowering under the shelf.

'So much for seeing if there was a magical version of a shotgun or something' Julia thought before the bar began to disintegrate, forcing her to leap tot he ceiling as the ashes suddenly came to life and attempted to grab her.

The bartender quickly broke out into a run towards the backroom while Julia remained on the ceiling and looked down at Wanda as the scarlet clad woman stumbled towards her with a snarl as she kept muttering the words 'mine' under her breath, almost like a mantra.

More black barbed chains began to appear around Wanda and slithered through the air almost like snakes. Julia watched with unease as she felt her spider-sense flare before her precognitive abilities, a gift from Madam Web and expanded upon under the tutelage of the Master Weaver, gave her a brief glimpse into the future. She saw all of Wanda's moves for the next few minutes, including any counters to Julia's counters to those moves.

'Well, guess my best hope of beating her is end this in the next minute' Julia thought as she refocused her attention on Wanda just as the woman sent the barbed chains towards her, like vipers lashing out at a mouse.

Julia quickly detached herself from the wall, moving her body in ways that allowed the chains to harmlessly pass by her before she landed on the ground and sprinted towards Wanda before she could recall the chains. Julia used these few seconds to quickly wrap some of her psi-webs around her knuckles in a manner she's seen Peter do in the past as she slammed into Wanda, sending her stumbling back a few feet before following it up with a psi-webbed fist into the Sakovian's face. The force of the hit snapped the woman's head tot he side and caused the crimson light in her eyes to briefly flicker out before Wanda slowly turned back towards Julia with blood leaking from her mouth.

"I... kinda hoped that would do it" Julia said with a nervous chuckle before she sent another towards Wanda only for the with to lash out and grab her fist and seemingly drain the energy from it.

Wanda growled at Julia as she seized the spider empowered woman by the throat with her other hand and began to squeeze with a strength that beguiled her appearance. Julia's eyes widened as her free hand shot to Wanda's wrist and began to punch it in an attempt to break Wanda's grip on her. The scarlet clad woman smirked darkly at Julia's face as it began to turn blue from the lack of oxygen before Felicia was suddenly behind her and slammed a chair into her back. The force of the impact caused Wanda to lose her grip on Julia and stumble forward in surprise, allowing Julia to bring a leg up and send a kick right into Wanda's gut before she followed it up with a punch to the face.

Felicia winced at the loud 'crack' that emanated from Julia's hit followed by the 'thud' of Wanda's body hitting the floor.

Julia took several deep breaths to try and get some much needed air back into her lungs while Felicia made her way over to the younger woman's side and rubbed her back and muttered reassurances that she'd be okay. Zatanna let out a hiss of pain as she climbed back to her feet, rubbing her brunt chest and taking in the damage of the Oblivion Bar and let out a depressed sigh as she made her way over to the only other three occupants in sight.

"Looks like I'm banned... again"

...

"Dude, I still can't believe it" Flash said with wide eyes as Peter examined the scars that Cheetah left on his face with a frown by looking at his reflection on the window that overlooked the Earth "I mean, Cheetah can get pretty vindictive and all, I man remember when she went after Steve a few years ago? But this was waaaaay different then than. I mean she was like dry humping you into the floor!"

"I know. Now I've gotta make sure she didn't leave any magical fleas on me" Peter said as he muttered another spell to see if it would help speed up the healing before he felt the lingering mystical energies from Cheetah's claws negate the spell's effects and cause a slight stinging sensation to act up.

"Flash, if I start growing hair and meowing, make it quick. I do not look good with fur on" Peter said with a sigh as he pulled away from his reflection and slipped a new mask on "Speaking of which, how's Superman doing?"

"Fine, last time I checked" Barry said with a shrug "Though he did seem tempted to try and bat at Cyborg's red eye when it glowed"

"Well keep some catnip on hand, just in case" Peter said with a snort as Cyborg entered the room "How you doing Vic?"

"Fine" the cybernetic teen said with a sigh "Can we take a break from magic for a while? Fighting a insane god like witch who fights with rotting teeth, some crazy writer possessed by demonic ancient Buddha god things and seeing some super powered wear-cheetah thing turn Superman into one all in the span of a few weeks is really taking it out of me"

"Still better than fighting a seemingly endless horde of Parademons on Apokolips" Flash responded.

"Debatable" Peter answered as he looked around for the rest of their team "Where is everybody?"

"Diana's with Supes, she went with him after we dropped the bomb on Cheetah not being who she says she is and all that. I think he wanted to talk to her about something" Victor said with a shrug "Arthur's headed back to Amnesty Bay, said something's come up that he needed to take care of"

"I bet" Flash said with a snort.

"Aww what's wrong Barry, jealous you don't have an attractive red headed mermaid waiting at home for you?" Victor said with a grin towards the scarlet speedster.

"Where's the Bat?" Peter interrupted the two's conversation with a frown as he looked around for the team's resident brooder, he hadn't seem him since they returned from the Congo.

"Monitor Womb last I checked" Victor said with a shrug "Said he wanted to do some more research on that tribe we found, if there is any to find. And how Cheetah found them and became all... Cheetah like"

"Well, I better go help him than" Peter said as he turned to leave "Especially with the magic parts"

"Since when did you become such an expert?" Flash asked with a raised brow "I mean, don't get me wrong or anything, but aren't you still kinda new to this whole mystical stuff?"

"Well it helps my roommate is one of the foremost experts of magic and likes to take hours out of my sleep to explain new things for me" Peter said with a snicker 'And it helps I'm calling on a decade or so of mystical teaching, explanation and stuff I read online'

'Does it feel you with a sense of satisfaction that you know more than your teammates?' The Void hissed in the back of Peter's mind 'Does it make you feel special?'

'A little' Peter replied as he made his way down the hall towards the monitor womb.

'Well you do have plenty of knowledge to pass on to them' The Void said in a seemingly agreeable tone 'I mean, how many other heroes can say they've had their secret identity found out by their arch-nemesis, failed to save their loved one from said person, failed to be a proper father, failed to be a good friend, a brother, a lover-'

Peter shook his head in an effort to drown out the Void's remarks. He was in a descent pleasant mood for once and he'd rather not have it ruined by some dark, petty, malevolent spider entity thing.

'Especially when I'm about to deal with Bruce being all... Bruce'

Sometimes Peter wonders why Wayne couldn't be the host for the Void, they'd make a great dark, manipulative couple in his opinion.

'Like you aren't a deceitful, manipulative bastard at heart too' the Void giggled darkly.

Peter scowled at this 'I'm not!'

'And yet you've yet to tell the rest of your 'team' about your true nature' the Void reminded him 'About where your really from'

'They don't need to know' Peter replied tot he continued giggles from the Void as he neared the door to the monitor womb.

...

Batman frowned as he stared at the image of Superman and Wonder Woman, the League's most powerful members and arguably the most powerful man and woman on the Earth... kissing.

'This could prove... complicated' Bruce thought as his mind began to run over possible scenarios this could lead to as the two floated above the field that was next to the home Superman was raised in by the Kents years ago.

Some of the possible scenarios were good... and even more were bad.

"You know, this isn't the worse thing I've ever caught you doing" Peter's voice cut off the Dark Knight's train of thought and forced the caped crusader to turn and see Peter's gaze focused on the still playing feed on the screen before his red lenses zeroed in on Bruce's own "Have to say though, I never took you for a voyeur"

"It's... it's not like that" Bruce said carefully as he analyzed Peter's behavior carefully.

He wasn't blind to Peter's feelings for Diana nor the slowly growing animosity between the wall crawler and man of steel the past few years. This new development could cause even more unforeseen issues to arise that could drastically effect the team.

'This is why you don't have inter-team relationships' Bruce thought sourly 'They always lead to this'

Peter snorted at the man's answer "I'm sure"

Bruce watched as Peter stepped closer to the screen and observed Diana and Clark's moment before he shook his head "You know, I never understood the appeal of flying while kissing. I mean, is it supposed to make it more romantic or something?"

"I wouldn't know" Bruce said as he turned most of his attention back to the screen for a moment before he closed down the feed "How are you holding up?"

"Fine" Peter said with a shrug "Your the second guy to ask me that you know"

"Do you think your ready to come back to the League?" Bruce asked as he settled back in his chair and studied Peter "There's no shame taking some more time off Peter"

"I'm good" Peter said as he turned towards Bruce "But if you worried that on the next mission I'll break down when I see a guy and his kid hug or something, don't be. I've had years to come to terms with what happened"

"Somehow I doubt that" Bruce said with a frown "No one can ever truly come to terms with that kind of loss... no matter how much time passes"

"You would know" Peter said in a slightly condescending tone that caused a scowl to appear under the dark knight's cowl before he sighed and adverted his gaze from the pointy eared detective "Really Bat's, I'll be fine"

Peter than turned to leave before he stopped and glanced back at Bruce with a frown as he gestured towards the screen that he had on "Should we talk to them about that, or wait and see how it goes?"

"For now... we'll see how things play out. It could just be a heat of the moment" Bruce said, though whether he was trying to tell himself that or Peter, he hadn't any idea.

Maybe both.

Peter nodded "Well let's hope this doesn't come back to bite us in the butt. Rather not wake up and find out either Diana or Clark decide to take over the world because the other broke up with them or forgot a date"

"Be we ever so lucky" Bruce muttered as Peter left the room and made his way towards the teleporters to take him back to New York.

When Peter thought he was far enough away, he let out a sigh as his shoulders slumped and he glanced out the window and towards the Earth below with a saddened expression on his face.

"Of freakin course she and Superman decide to hook up... Parker Luck at her finest everyone!"

...

And done.
