Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Spider-Man lay on his side, face-to- face with Doctor Octopus. The Venus flytrap began to close. "I don't know what's worse," Spidey said. "The fact that I'm the size of a lima bean and I'm about to be eaten by a plant, or the fishy breath on you." He waved his hand in front of his nose. "Is that why they call you Doctor Octopus? Pee-yew!"

"Enough, you bothersome bug!" Doc Ock shoved the web-slinger aside. He spotted the canister of Gigantor Particles caught between two of the flytrap's teeth. His now-tiny metal tentacles lifted him toward it, but before he could reach out, Spider-Man tackled him from behind. "I don't know what those particles do," Spidey said. "But I'm guessing they're not for you!" He webbed Doc Ock's metal extremities together and hurled him toward the ceiling. The fearsome foe flew up and out of the plant's jaws, taking Spider-Man with him. They crash-landed on top of a table. "You fool!" Doctor Octopus cried. "The canister will be crushed!"

He laughed at his own joke. "Anyway, I've always wanted to team up with you. And now you're here, and I'm here, so maybe we can-" Spider-Man paused. "I'm sorry, did

you say 'giant man-eating plant'? The particles make things bigger?" Ant-Man nodded. Spidey hung his head. "My bad." The trio watched as the plant's leaves tightened and the canister was about to burst. "I can't look," Ant-Man said, turning away. Suddenly, the Wasp swooped in, grabbed the canister, and saved the day.

She landed beside Ant-Man. He gave her a high five. "I knew we'd be okay!" he exclaimed. "Enough! The particles will be mine!" Doctor Octopus yelled. His tentacles moved into action, each one knocking a hero aside. The canister flew into the air once more. Doc Ock reached for it, but Spider-Man's web snatched it first. As he handed the canister to the Wasp, Spider-Man said, "May I just say it's a real honor to be fighting alongside-Oof!" A tentacle grabbed Spider-Man and hurled him into the air. The Wasp jumped out of the path of another. "Ant-Man," she hollered. "Go long!" Ant-Man took off, and the Wasp threw the canister. It sailed over Doctor Octopus's head and landed right in Ant-Man's arms.
