Chapter 5
I do not own these characters, Marvel and Sony do.
I run into an alleyway, and change into my Spider-man suit.
He must still be nearby, if he just left prison and came straight to my house, he could not have gotten far.
I swing out of the alley from a web, surveying the area when I spot the Goblin on his glider at the park.
I land on a tree shooting webs at the glider bringing it crashing to the ground, but it doesn't do much damage to Goblin.
"Ah, Peter, nice to see you again," he says with a devilish grin, luckily nobody is around to hear him calling my name, so I drop from the tree preparing for what I know is going to come next.
"Harry," I say through gritted teeth.
When I am around Goblin, my mask that hides my emotions is invisible.
Harry knows everything about me, he knows he hurt me, and I can not make it seem like he did not.
"I'm not Harry anymore, just the Green Goblin," he smiles wickedly holding a pumpkin bomb in his hand, pressing a small button on it and throwing it in my direction.
I attach some web to it and swing it at Goblin, it explodes in his face and he falls backwards, but gets back up.
"Why did you do it Harry?" tears are pooling in my eyes.
"Do what?" he asks playing dumb.
"Hurt her!" I scream.
"Which one?" he asks smirking.
"Ugh!" I attach webs to a tree, so I can pull it out of the ground and throw it at him with all my might.
The tree smacks him in the face before he can block it and he falls to the ground, clearly hurt this time, but he tries not to let it show.
"Did I hit a nerve?"
"Why won't you just leave them alone?!" I scream, I know I should not let the anger control me, but I can't help it, "I'm your enemy, not them, they are not a part of this," I web him and spin him around before letting go so he hits another tree.
"Oh Peter, I just needed your blood, I was dying, but you didn't give it to me, you betrayed me!"
"I did it to keep you safe! I didn't know what my blood would do to you!"
"You betrayed me, and because of that, I will make you suffer!"
"I have nothing left because of you!"
"Oh yes you do, you're lucky she's still alive, maybe I should go pay her a visit at the hospital," I am so close to coming up to him and strangling him.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" I scream, coming on top of him and punching him repeatedly, but he hits me off and throws me across the grass.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt her for now, but we will finish this later," he smirks pressing a button on his wrist and stepping onto his glider.
I web the glider once more and swipe it from under Goblin's feet.
He falls to the ground.
The rest of the fight is silent, I kick, he dodges, he punches, I dodge.
This goes on for about 30 minutes, and I am exhausted.
Finally I get Goblin on the ground, and web him to it.
I watch him in anger and pain, not so much literal pain, but the pain of loosing my loved ones, that hurts more than what any pumpkin bomb can do to me.
I turn to my right to see the Avengers arriving, and all of a sudden my invisible mask can no longer be seen through.
I exchange my pained expression for a happy one.
"Looks like you're going back to jail," I say in a jokey tone, fighting the urge to let my voice crack, I was at the verge of a breakdown.
The Avengers look from me to Goblin and then back at me.
"Well this was a waste of time," Tony says from under his iron suit.
"Well I'll let you take him away," I say trying to hide my now shaking body.
I shoot a web, blocking out their voices and swinging away, just before the tears fall from under my mask.
Putting Goblin behind bars changes nothing, Aunt May is still in the hospital and everyone else is still dead.
Every mention of my own name reminds me that Peter Parker has nothing left, Spider-man is the only one that has a reason to live, not much of a reason, but it is something.
I need to keep living to save the people of New York, even if they call me a criminal, a menace, a murderer.
~
I crash onto the roof I know so well, it may be of a building I don't know, but the roof I am familiar with.
I always sit here and enjoy the view.
I lay on the hard stone for what seems like hours, no longer having the strength to keep going.
I close my eyes in an attempt to get some sleep, even if it is on top of a roof.
The second my eyelids fall closed Gwen's face accompanied by her scream flashes in front of me, making me open my eyes afraid to see it again.
Tears fall from my face and suddenly I am gasping for air, it seems like my lungs have collapsed into each other.
I know what this is, a panic attack.
I sit up and try once more to fill my burning lungs, but I just end up coughing up blood.
I guess Goblin did hit me pretty hard a few times.
With the last of my strength I stumble towards the abandoned subway train, it is the only place I can stay.
~
When I am there, I lay down on the floor with my eyes open, not bothered enough to tend my wounds.
My thigh's bullet wound has reopened and is now bleeding again, along with too many other wounds.
I lift my hand to my lip, already feeling it throbbing from the Goblin's punches.
I sigh, this is going to be a long night.
