The Sewer's

"So what do we do now?" Peter asked me curiously as we walked through the streets. "Cate?" He called out, seeing I wasn't paying attention.
I looked where my senses were tingling. A small lizard sat on the Subway sign, leading down into the subway stairs. I walked around the railing and saw even more lizards. I followed them as they walked away, down into the gutter. Near the gutter was a pack of newspapers from the Daily Bugle. The headline was Reward For Proof! With a drawing of the lizard's hand printed on the front page.

"Wanna tell me what's going through that brain of your's?" Peter grabbed my waist and turned me to look at him. I looked up at him and put a hand on his cheek.
"Well, we are not doing anything. You are gonna go home, where it's safe. And I am going to go after him. If the police won't do anything about it. Then, I will. I'm also gonna need to get my camera." I pointed to the stack of papers and Peter looked at them and sighed.
"Cate, this is to dangerous... I don't think you should go."
"I have to Peter. This was my fault. I found the formula and handed it right to him. It was my idea to bring it to him. I have to find out what he's up to." I told him quietly.
"What if you get hurt?"
"Occupational hazard." I joked and he didn't laughed. "I'll be fine. I promise. And if not then I know exactly where to go to have someone help me." I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.
"You better be safe." He warned. "I love you to much to have anything bad happen to you. I won't lose you too." He caressed my cheek.
"You won't. I love you too, Peter."

After getting him home safely, I grabbed my camera from my room and put on my suit heading out into the sewer's to search for Dr. Connors.

In the sewer's Dr. Connors had set up a small lab.
"Subject: Dr. Curtis Connors. Current temperature: 89.7. Steady for 48 hours. Blood panels reveal lymphocyte and monocyte readings consistent with subject's past."

I lowered myself upside down into the sewer's on a web.

"Clotting rate vastly improved. Marked enhancement in muscle response, strength and elasticity." Dr. Connor's recorded his symptoms into the camera.

I shot web's in each direction of the sewer's, tying them together in the center.

"Eye sight similarly improved." He removed his glasses. "Subject no longer requires corrective lenses. This is no longer about curing ill's. This is about finding perfection."

I climbed up on top of  my collection of web's and looked around making sure I had set plenty out.

"In attempt to redress regenerative relapse, dosage has been increased to 200 milligrams." He lifted his sleeve on his stub arm and pressed the injection device into it. Looking back at the camera and angrily knocking it over.

I webbed up my camera and laid on the web's, waiting to feel any sort of vibration or sign on Connors whereabouts within the drain systems of New York. I played on my phone, until one of the web's vibrated. I looked up in the direction of the large dark tunnel and slid my mask back down over my face. It vibrated again and I started crawling along it. My spider-sense continuously going off. I looked to my side as another vibration occurred down a different tunnel.
I climbed back into the center of the webs and watched all around me as more and more web's vibrated and sang out their echo's. A large shadow appeared inside of of the tunnels and I waited to strike. The only thing that crawled out was a smaller lizard. Suddenly all the vibrations had small crawling lizards creating them. I watched curiously as they all traveled in the same direction.

I crawled after them until my sense went off again. Behind me, a large tail glided by, from the monster on the ceiling. I slowly looked up and the giant Lizard jumped down onto me while screeching. The pressure of the web's made the camera flash go off,  and click as he punched me. The weight, started making the web's tear out the concrete from the wall, or the pipes move from their places.
The Lizard pinned me underneath it's large body and held down my chest, and around my neck. I grunted in pain and he raised his hand to try and claw me. I used one hand and struggled to hold it back.

"You stopped me once. You won't stop me again!" He growled out at me.

The camera kept flashing and he moved his hand, wrapping his fingers around my throat. I struggled with his hand as it moved closer and his nails extended towards my chest.

"I'm getting stronger everyday!" He yelled as his claws ran down my suit, piercing my skin. I grunted in pain and struggled beneath him, trying to get free as the Lizard reached towards my mask.

The camera flashed again, momentarily distracting him and I brought up my arm, punching him in the face. He roared, and the web's beneath us broke completely. We plunged down into the large water pipe below tangled in the broken web's. He had a tight grip on me, but I used all the strength I could and managed to get him to loosen up. I brought my feet to my chest and kicked down hard to his. Forcing him a way from me.
I held my breath and kicked my feet, swimming away from him up the current of the sewer. I put out a hand and tried to shoot a web, but it only whirred and web's exploded out of the broken web shooter. I looked behind me as the Lizard swam faster reaching for my foot. Ahead was a closed off pipe and I crashed through one of the bars with my body, narrowly escaping his grasp. As he was to large to follow.

The strong current pulled me through the pipes. I desperately tried to claw my way onto one of the walls to get up into anyone of the pipes, but it was no use. I smashed into the cement walls until I was tossed from the pipes back into an open tunnel. I gasped for air and coughed up water. I crawled onto a small cement platform, just outside the moving water and laid down.

"Oh, man. That sucked." I panted.

The Lizard swam it's way back to the pipe we had begun at roaring as it climbed out. Getting caught up in the last remaining web's. As he pulled on them, the camera flash went off again, gaining his attention. He walked to it and pulled the camera off the wall and looked at it. The back had lettering on it.
"Property of Catherine Barrett."
"Catherine Barrett." He growled and crushed the camera.
