{The Next Day}
Electro and Vulture seemed to be laying low. You don't know why they chose to yesterday, but they decided to appear in the middle of the day. You got a report that they were at a power plant near the coast of South Harlem.
THWIP!
You're swinging down Bloomingdale, when suddenly your spider sense goes off. You get wrapped in wire and are quickly dragged away. You look up and see Vulture carrying you by the wire.
You: Hey, Toomes! Long time no see!
Vulture doesn't respond and continues flailing you around. You hit billboards and the sides of buildings as he transports you. He makes it to the power plant, where Electro awaits. Vulture tosses you onto a railing.
Electro: Time to finish the job!
He charges his hands and blasts an electric current at you. You quickly break out of the wire and leap away. You stick to the side of a building, then jump off to engage in combat.
Electro shoots his bolts and Vulture tries to attack using his sharp wings as the three of you fight in midair.
Electro: Teamwork's beautiful, ain't it? Helping you reach those unattainable goals...like killing Spider-Man!
You dodge a bolt and web-zip onto him. You start punching him but leap off before he can shock you.
You: That was almost heart-warming, Ben. You really grew in prison, didn't you?
Once again, Electro grows angry at the mention of his real name. He flies over to a generator and begins charging up. He starts shooting larger bolts out of his hands, but you shoot two impact webs at his generator, blowing it up.
Electro: Argh! Vernon, you're up!
Electro flies upwards, and you see Vulture soaring down towards you. You dodge his attack and swing up.
Vulture: Our feud ends tonight, insect!
You: It's arachnid! My God...
You zip onto him and get on his back. He begins swerving to get you off of him, but you cause Vulture to crash into a railing.
You: What happened to you, V? You used to be a normal engineering professor! We could've shared ideas!
Vernon begins remembering his wife, who's still sick. He blames you for stopping him from getting the money for her.
Vulture: Desperate times!
Vulture swipes his wings at you and slashes the side of you abdomen.
You: Argh!
You make some distance between you and Vulture. Suddenly, Electro re-enters the fight and shoots a bolt at you. You get electrocuted and are propelled into the side of a building.
You stick to the wall, webbing up yet another wound. You jump off and re-enter the right.
You: Gotta be honest, I liked it better when you two were loners.
Vulture shoots small blades from his wings at you, but you dodge them. You shoot a web at one of the blades and swing it back toward him, hitting him.
Vulture: Argh!
You starts shooting multiple webs at him, incapacitating him enough to zip onto his back. You punch into the panel of his wing-suit, and pull out the wires. Vulture starts descending, and he crashes down onto a van below. He's knocked unconscious.
Electro is all that remains.
Electro: You don't stand a chance!
You: Hate to be a pessimist, but I don't think you're assessing the situation clearly.
He shoots more bolts at you. You web him multiple times and leap onto him so you can attack. You punch him three times and kick him away.
Electro goes to another generator. He emits four large simultaneous bolts of lighting, but you dodge them. He shoots four more, but you evade them as well. You shoot more webs at the generator, disabling it like the first one. The generator then explodes, causing Electro to fall onto the railing below. He's in a weakened state, and you web him to the ground.
Police start arriving, and units see Vulture down. Electro powers down and you notice he's wearing an earpiece. You web it towards you and listen in.
Dr. Everett: Mr. Paul? What's going on?!
You speak into the earpiece upon hearing Lee's voice.
You: Electro's been grounded.
Dr. Everett: Spider-Man...I told you not to meddle with me.
You: You have to stop what you're doing Doc, before more people get hurt.
Dr. Everett: What I'm about to do will make the world a better place. Like I planned.
You: No, Lee! If you try that reactor again, it will destroy the city! You have to know that!
Lee gets silent. You think back at the demonstration, and how his inhibitor chip was fried by the reactor. A part of you knows his mechanical arms are messing with his mind.
You: You're sick, Doc. Let me help you.
Lee takes a breath, and replies.
Dr. Everett: I have all the help I need...and if the city gets destroyed by turning on the reactor...so be it. This is for me...for Carley.
He gets off of the call.
You: Damn it...
THWIP!
You swing away from the power plant. You're traveling down Yorkville when you decide to call Clementine.
You: Hey, Clem. I just took down the last of the freaky five. All that's left is Dr. Everett.
Clementine begins responding, but in a whisper.
Clementine: Y/N...I'm at an Oscorp lab. I'm sure this is the place with the tritium.
You: What?! Why didn't you tell me? Are you safe?
Clementine: I snuck by their security and made it to one of their labs. I know it's here.
She pauses for a bit.
Clementine: Bingo.
You: Where are you?
Before she can answer, you hear commotion through the line. It sounds like a man's voice. Among the conversation, you hear her say Lenox Hill on 72nd Street. Later, you hear a loud crash.
You change direction and start swinging there.

{Moments Ago}
Clementine enters the lab, and sighs in relief. She can't believe she really got passed the immense amount of security.
She looks around, seeing equipment and empty vials. One thing catches her eye though, and it's a display case of spiders.
Clementine: Are these the same kind that bit Y/N? How? Did Louis lie?
She looks through papers near the case on the table. Many are detailing the modified spider experiments, and they are signed off by Clint.
Clementine: Of course. I'm sure Louis doesn't know his temp CEO was conducting this behind his back.
Clementine puts down the papers and starts looking for the tritium. She gets a call from you.
You: Hey, Clem. I just took down the last of the freaky five. All that's left is Dr. Everett.
She whispers.
Clementine: Y/N...I'm at an Oscorp lab. I'm sure this is the place with the tritium.
You: What?! Why didn't you tell me? Are you safe?
Clementine: I snuck by their security and made it to one of their labs. I know it's here.
She goes over to a locked case with a keypad. Near it, she sees the code name for tritium.
Clementine: Bingo.
You: Where are you?
Before she can answer, somebody enters the room. It's Clint.
Clint: What the fuck are you doing in my lab?
Clementine turns around.
Clementine: You have to hide this tritium...before Dr. Everett gets it.
Clint: That eight limbed freak? What makes you think he knows where it is?
Clementine: I was able to figure out about the lab at Lenox Hill on 72nd Street. Why can't he?
Clint: Get the hell out of here before I call—
Suddenly, the wall near them breaks inward and debris flies everywhere. Dr. Everett comes in using his mechanical arms to walk.
Dr. Everett: Clint. Nice to see you again.
Clint runs over to a nearby desk and grabs a handgun. Before he can shoot, Lee grabs his arm and pulls him towards him.
Dr. Everett: Let's make this easy. Show me where the tritium is.
Clint: Fuck you, man! Your project is bogus! I won't let you destroy the city and taint Oscorp's name.
Lee glares and begins crushing his hand. Clint yells in pain.
Dr. Everett: I basically have eight limbs. What if I subtract half of yours?
Lee uses another mechanical arm to grab Clint's leg. He begins crushing it too, causing Clint to yell in pain. Finally, Clint begs him to stop. Lee drops him to the floor.
Clementine: Dr. Everett, you don't have to do this!
Lee looks at Clementine, one of his last students at Ericson's.
Dr. Everett: Stay out of this.
He gives a look to Clint, who quickly gets up and starts typing into the keypad of the case.
Clementine: What would your wife think of this?
Lee shoots a look and immediately grabs Clementine with his mechanical arm.
Dr. Everett: I'm doing this for her. We thought of this dream, together.
Lee looks down.
Dr. Everett: One night...in Manhattan Valley, Carley and I looked upon the clocktower. We thought of time, evolution, and how we can improve the world. This is it...and I won't stop until I complete it. No matter the cost.
Clint opens the case of tritium. Lee nods and hits Clint with one of his arms, causing him to crash into the nearby display case. He also tosses Clementine down near him.
Lee grabs the cylinder of tritium. He immediately flees, leaving the two on the ground. Clementine gets up, and looks at Clint's unconscious body. She drags him to a wall and tries to wake him to no avail.
Suddenly, she hears footsteps running down the corridor. It's Oscorp private security. She can hear them speaking.
Security 1: Shoot to kill as Clint said! We can't have anything leave this lab!
Clementine: Shit...
She calls you again.
Clementine: Uh...Y/N? Are you close?
You: I'm a few blocks away. What happened?
Clementine: I'll explain it to you later...trigger happy security is about to bust in.
You: I'm almost there!
Clementine: I'm in the northwest corner.
She starts making her way to the open hole in the wall. She looks down at the street below as security begin kicking the door down.
Clementine: You ready?
You: Woah woah woah! Wait!
Clementine: Too late. You're up.
Security kicks the door down and aim their rifles. Clementine leaps out of the building and begins plummeting down.
As she's descending, she closes her eyes. A part of her starts to doubt if this was a good idea.
But then, you swing towards her and catch her. She holds on to you as you swing away from the scene.
You: You are crazy.
Clementine gives a light laugh.
Clementine: You are amazing.
You smile behind your mask, and continue swinging.
