Regaining his composure after a minute Harry stepped closer to me. "Peter, what did you mean just now?"
"Yeah, what did you mean by save Harry's life?" Liz asked worriedly.
"Harry, you know that your mom gets sick right?" I asked. He then nodded his head. "Alright, but do you know why?"
"No." He replied. "Everytime I ask either my mom or dad they avoid the subject or change it entirely. So eventually I just gave up trying. But I'm guessing you know why she gets sick?"
"I do." I replied. "It's a genetic disease known as Oshtoran Syndrome. Categorized by a toxic buildup of iron in the blood and eventually autonomic dysfunction, similar to Parkinson's disease. And just like Parkinson's there is no cure." I explained. "Though unlike Parkinson's Oshtoran syndrome is hereditary and you have it Harry."
"How do you know?" Harry asked me. Remaining relatively calm despite the fact I just told him he has a fatal genetic disease.
"After I saw my father's video message and began my career as Spider-Man I almost immediately began looking into Oscorp, and your father. In doing so I discovered many things, including the fact you and your mother have Oshtoran and that your dad has been working tirelessly to create a cure for it to save you and her. No matter the cost." I added ominously.
"Do I even want to know?" Harry asked. Immediately understanding the meaning behind my words.
"For now just be on the lookout for a man called Martin Li." I advised him. "But back to the main topic at hand. After I discovered what your father was up to, and knowing there was no way in hell I could just stand by knowing my best friend had a death sentence hanging over his head, I got into the game of curing you and your mom. Succeeding where Norman had failed." I explained.
"Damn Peter, you truly are amazing." Ned said.
"Thank you Ned. But I'll also accept spectacular and superior." I replied. "Though I can't take all the credit since this achievement wouldn't have been possible without the assistance of the lovely geneticist Gwen Stacy, my trusty AI companion Spinner, and the combined access to the databases of both Oscorp and SHIELD."
"Wait, how did you get access to those?" Liz asked me.
"Simple, I hacked them." I replied.
"You hacked the super secret spy agency." Felicia muttered. She then turned her gaze to Gwen. "Stacy, do me a favor. Remind me never to get on your boyfriends bad side."
"I will." Gwen replied.
"Again, thanks for the praise." I said. "But as I was saying Harry I made a cure, but it needs just a few more touches before I can administer it to you and your mother. And for that I'll need a few samples of your blood."
"So you can see if the cure you've developed actually affects the disease as intended." Harry surmised.
"Exactly right. And good guess."
"Well, I may not be as smart as you, but I am a bit of a scientist myself." Harry spoke.
Leading me to lightly chuckle.
'Like father, like son.' I thought.
While Harry and I walked into the train car.
Once we arrived I drew four vials of blood from him using the medical equipment I had set up yesterday when I was at the Web in preparation for this moment.
After I finished collecting Harry's blood, and cleaning and bandaging his wound, I took one vial and stored the other three in the medical fridge.
After I did this I went to retrieve a vial of the SS serum and then got to work.
But not before placing Harry's blood inside of the centrifuge, and then setting it to isolate the specific genes within his DNA that caused Oshtoran disease.
The centrifuge finishing with its task about an hour later.
Once it did I added a bit of the SS serum to the isolated Oshtoran genes I got from Harry and then began having the computer monitor the results.
Almost immediately getting an answer as I saw the serum work against and entirely cure the Oshtoran syndrome.
"Eureka!" I exclaimed in happiness.
I then went outside the train car where the others were, Harry having rejoined them after I took his blood samples.
"It works. The cure works!" I told them all.
After I did they all began letting out cheers of happiness, Harry especially.
"Thank you Peter. Thank you."
"Of course." I replied. "What are friends for after all? But, maybe calm down a second. Since there's still quite a bit left too do."
"Like what, besides giving Harry and his mom the cure?" Liz asked.
"Well giving the cure to Harry will be easy." I replied. "But when it comes to his mom we have to take extra steps. Why you ask? Well first off the "cure" that was created for Harry and his mom is a modern day version of the super-soldier serum."
"You mean the thing that made Captain America?" Liz asked.
I nodded. "Yep. Only the version Gwen, Spinner, and I created is built different."
"You know what, I'm not even going to be surprised by you anymore Pete." Harry said.
"Wait, so if you give Harry the serum and cure him he'll be a super-soldier." Ned commented.
"He will." I replied. "But only if he wants to that is. Because now that I know the serum will cure Harry and his mom I plan on creating a separate formulae just focused on the regenerative aspects of the SS serum. That way I can cure Harry and his mom without giving them superpowers."
"And how long will that take?" Harry asked me.
"If I did alone, likely a couple of years. But with all the information at my disposal, not to mention with assistance from Spinner and Gwen, a few months." I explained. "Unless of course you or your mother take a sudden turn for the worst. Then I'll go the distance and manage the consequences of my actions later."
"Again, thank you Peter." Harry replied. "But before I rush into anything I need some time to think."
"If you didn't then I'd be worried about you." I replied. "Take the time you need Harry." I told him.
Then once I did he decided to leave the Web, along with Liz.
But before they did I gave them both back their cell phones, and their very own Spider-phones.
I then did the same with Ned, even though he chose to hang out for a bit.
Meanwhile Felicia decided to suit up and go on patrol.
While Gwen and I went into the train car and got busy.
Working on creating a separate healing formulae from the properties of the SS serum that is.
As well as adding in a bit of a make-out session here and there.
Like any good superhero teenage couple should.

(3rd Person: POV)
As Peter and his friends were going their separate ways for the day, across town a meeting was beginning in a warehouse.
A laptop on the table in front of him James Wesley stood before three men. Whose names were Jackson "Montana" Brice, Daniel "Fancy Dan" Brito, and finally Raymond "The Ox" Bloch.
These three were known as a criminal group known as the Enforcers. Who handled jobs for th underworld with effeciency and ruthlessness.
"Welcome gentleman." Wesley greeted the Enforcers.
"Wesley." Montana, the Enforcers leader, greeted the man. "Now then, when is the boss going to arrive so we can get this meeting started?"
"Come now Montana, after all this time you should know the rules. The Big Man isn't one to show us face unless it a matter of utmost importance." Wesley said. Right after he did he opened up the laptop on the table in front of him and turned it on.
A second after Wesley did a distorted silhouette of Wilson Fisk appeared on the screen.
"Gentleman. Fisk spoke. His voice coming out distorted, similar to his image on the screen. "A good day to you all." He said. "Though before I get to the point we're waiting on one more attendant."
No sooner after Fisk said this than the Beetle arrived.
[Insert Image of the Beetle Here]
Using his jetpack to fly into the warehouse through an open window and then land next to Wesley and the Enforcers.
"Ah, and there he is."
"What's a giant bug doing here?" Fancy Dan asked.
"That bug, is here at my request Mr. Brito." Fisk commented. "To make sure the job you all here to learn the full details of gets done." He spoke.
"Okay, and what job is that?" Montana asked.
"I'm so glad you asked Mr. Brice." Fisk replied.
A second later the screen on the laptop split into a dual one, with Fisk image suddenly only taking up the left side of the screen.
While the other side of it began displaying images and even videos of Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, and Black Cat.
"These three new heroes have been causing me trouble. And you know how I despise trouble."
"So you want the Enforcers and the purple and gray bug over heree to crush all three of them." Montana stated.
"Ah, it is such a comfort to work with a man of your intelligence Mr. Brice." Fisk spoke.
"Thank you boss, and consider these heroes already six feet under." Montana stated.
Fancy Dan and Ox nodding their heads in agreement.
While the Beetle simply pointed to the images and clips of Spider-Man.
Before clasping his fingers into a fist.
