Part One: It's A Madhouse
It's a quiet Saturday evening in New York and I just missed the opening pitch of the first game in the baseball season. I hear an alarm going off and I swung over to the scene. At a jewellery store, thieves broke in and were in the middle of stealing when I arrive.
"What're going to do with those rings? Propose to your girlfriend?" I asked.
"Stay out of this, Spider-Man," one of the thieves said.
"Ooh, touchy. I'm afraid this is the part when you're going down," I said. They get their guns out, aim and fired at me. I used my spider-sense to dodge the bullets.
"Don't you ever stay dead?" the thief asked.
"Tried that once and trust me, you don't want to go there," I said. I again used my agility to defeat the thieves as the police arrived at the scene. The officers enter the store to find the thieves tied up in webbing and they saw me.
"Thanks, Spider-Man," the officer said.
"Don't mention it," I said.
"Attention, there's a riot going on at Ravencroft Institute. Please be advised to be cautious," the police dispatch caller said. Oh great, just what I need, I was hoping once this was over. I can go home and watch the opening game of the baseball season. Duty calls, I then webbed swing over to Ravencroft Institute. Outside the institute, I find a crowd of people outside the gates as I arrived at the scene. The press try to get an answer from the police, but they haven't got a response. I walked over to a police officer.
"Excuse me, who's in charge here?" I asked.
"Thank god you're here, Det. Martin Len is charge. He's over at the makeshift headquarters," the office said. At the makeshift headquarters, Det. Martin Len is talking with the SWAT team leader over a potential plan to rescue the hostages.
"I'm not sure
if this is going to work," Det. Martin Len said.
"What other
choice we have. Even it means getting me or any member of my team
killed," the SWAT team leader said.
I then arrived at the tent. "Does anyone remember the last time that lethal force was used?" I asked.
"Ah, Spider-Man, good to see you here on such short notice. I'm Det. Martin Len and this Capt. Orson Blaine, leader of the SWAT team," he said.
"My team is ready to take back the facility by lethal force if necessary," Capt. Orson Blaine said.
"In case you haven't notice what I just said. Remember the Attica Prison Riot back in seventies," I said.
"He has a good point, by using lethal force, we're only making this situation worse," Det. Martin Len said.
"Can fill me in on the detail on how this riot began?" I asked.
"Very well, the riot started a couple of hours ago shortly after the Green Goblin gave himself up," Capt. Orson Blaine said. I then noticed something is wrong and Det. Martin Len notices my concern.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"It's not like the Green Goblin to turn himself in. I don't like it one bit, has there been any ransom demands?" I asked.
"No, the facility stopped transmitting after the riot began. So far there have been no demands or anything," Det. Martin Len said.
"Something doesn't feel right about the whole riot. There's no motive behind it if there's no demand being made," I said.
"That's what our profiler said. What do you suggest we do?" he asked.
"We need a plan to get the hostages out safely," Capt. Orson Blaine said.
"I'm going in, alone," I said.
"Now hold on, you cannot be serious?" he asked.
"Oh I am serious and don't call me Shirley," I said.
"There's no alternative. What if you can't do it, rescue the hostages?" Det. Martin Len asked.
"Then I'll die a hero. So, what're you lot waiting for, send me in," I said.
"Do it," he ordered.
"Open the gate, we're sending someone in," Capt. Orson Blaine said over the radio. Outside, I walked up to gates and stared into the mansion that housed some of worst criminals in known history. All of them from my rogues gallery, not just that, but every other known super villain. The guard opens the gate, I walked through it and he closes the gate behind me. I again stared into that mansion one more time before I enter. I enter the institute to find the hostages panicking and scared of the horrors that have been unleashed.
"Okay, this isn't what I had in mind," I said.
"Oh, much more, my web headed friend." The Green Goblin comes out of the crowd and walks up to me. "Hello, Spider-Man," he said. He then laughs insanely, hearing that sinister laughter will always haunt me for the rest of my life.
"I'm not here to talk. Release the hostages, now!" I shouted.
"Always straight to business, you haven't change at all. Not a 'hey, how's the kids doing these days' oh wait, I haven't got any kids," he said.
"I said release the hostages," I demanded.
"Sorry, but no, boys." His henchmen arrive and they confront me. "Half of you take the hostages and scatter them throughout this loony asylum. While the rest, well, he's all yours," The Green Goblin said. He then flees the scene, along with half of the henchmen and all of the hostages. While I was confront by fifteen henchmen.
"This is not going to be easy," I said to myself. They all then rushed in on me for the attack. Over at the Xavier Institute, Logan aka Wolverine has just got out of the showers after an intense session in the Danger Room. He gets dressed and heads into the lounge and turns the TV to watch the nine o'clock news.
"If you're joining us, we're live at the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane. Hours ago, a riot is occurring, not a moment ago. Spider-Man entered the institute in hopes of reaching a peaceful resolution to the crisis," the news correspondent said. Logan realises what just happened leaves the mansion and rides to the institute. Back in Ravencroft, I'm fighting for life as the inmates are attacking me.
I was able to defeat them at last. "Let's see, Spider-Man one, Ravencroft Inmates zero. Looking like a big leaguer," I said.
The tannoy is then switched on. "I'm impressed; those were some of the finest gang members from The Bronx and Brooklyn. The Yancy Street Gang are going to have real headache when they find out that you just defeated some of their best gang members," The Green Goblin said.
"Why don't you come back here and give me back the hostages," I said.
"No can do, besides, where's the fun in that. Why don't venture on deep into the institute and find them yourself. But I must warn you, some of my comrades-in-arms are out there and have some of the hostages," he said. I have no choice but to play his deadly game. I then venture on deep into the institute without knowing the dangers I might face. I then encountered the deceased guards, most likely killed during the riots. I heard static coming from one of their radio earpieces, I picked it up and placed it in my right ear.
"Can anyone hear me, please respond, over," Capt. Orson Blaine said.
"You're listening to Radio Spider-Man and I'm taking over the midnight shift," I said.
"Everybody's a comedian, what the hell happened in there?" he asked.
"Goblin made a break for it, he went on deep into the institute," I said.
"And the hostages?" he asked.
"He's still got them and split them up throughout the institute," I answered.
"I knew it was a bad idea to send you in," he said.
"That's enough Orson. We may have some to help you, he's a doctor. But he was off duty when the riot began," Det. Martin Len said.
"Hi, I'm Dr. Julian Bendis, I was watching a Broadway show when this happened," he said.
"It happens, and you specialise in?" I asked.
"I'm a
psychotherapist, I specialise in diagnosing and treating teenage
schizophrenics," he said.
"Okay, there's more to this,
besides your typical super villain being locked up in here," I
said.
"A lot more, not only Ravencroft specialises in super villains, but some of New York's worst serial killers. Some that don't make the national news," he said.
"As much as I love stick to around and chat. I got people to save and put an end to this riot. Any idea where I am?" I asked.
"Each of the guard's earpieces has a homing beacon. So we can track their position, we're in the process of getting the blueprints to this place. So sit tight, we'll work as fast as we can," he said. It's assuring, but not enough. The institute descends into chaos as the riot progresses on. I head into one of the therapy halls as I saw a bunch of skinheads attacking and beating one of the doctors.
"Eh Doc, I'm seeing a bunch of skinheads attacking a woman, wearing glasses and a sapphire necklace," I said.
"That's Dr. Elizabeth Millar; she's in charge of the rehabilitation program. As for the skinheads you mentioned, they're part of a neo-Nazi gang calling themselves the New Reich," Dr. Julian Bendis said.
"The New Reich, were they headed by Anton Burk, who was later sentenced for life at Ryker's Island?" I asked.
"Was, until he murdered an inmate over there. Because of it, he was transferred to this institute in hopes on being rehabilitated," he said.
"So much for the rehabilitation. Time to go in and rescue the damsel-in-distress." I then entered the room and the gang notices me. "Hello there," I said.
"Ah, that Green Goblin fellow mentioned you were coming by," he said.
"He did? Now's that thoughtful, now then, step aside Anton," I said.
"I spent too long in this facility, being denied of all my pleasures. It only seems fitting that I get my just deserts, once I'm done torching my would-be rehabilitator," he said.
"Trust me, you do not want to do this," I said.
"Sorry to disappoint, but I won't be standing down. Men, teach the Spider how we do things in Ravencroft," he said. His men try to attack from all sides; I used my spider-sense and agility to defeat them.
"I defeat your skinhead gang, now stand down, Anton," I said.
"Those were best men, oh well. Did I mention about the time I spent in Bangkok," he said.
"Ah no, why?" I asked.
"Well then, I'm going to show you why I'm most feared fighter in the cage," he said. He attacks me using his mixed martial arts style and he is good. I put up a fight and was able to defeat Anton.
"What happened, I heard heavy breathing?" Det. Martin Len asked.
"Anton and his Neo-Nazi thugs are down for the count," I said.
"That's a relief, Anton can be unpredictable, but you showed him," Dr. Julian Bendis said.
"Are you hurt, Dr. Millar?" I asked.
"Only my pride, Spider-Man. But thanks for saving me, I be dead right now if weren't for you," she said. She then gets on her own feet and puts her lab coat back on. Outside the institute, in the makeshift headquarters, the blueprints for the institute have arrived and are placed on the table.
"These are the blueprints for the entire building," Capt. Orson Blaine said.
"We need to formulate a strategy in case Spider-Man doesn't make it," Det. Martin Len said.
"I assure you, he will," Wolverine said.
As he enters the tent uninvited and unexpected. "How did you get in here?" Capt. Orson Blaine asked.
"Bub, I let myself in, is it true, did he enter alone?" he asked.
"Yes, but he requested to go in there alone," Det. Martine Len said.
"Got a radio on you?" Martin gives Wolverine the radio. "Hey, web head, come in," he said.
"Nice of you to join the party, Wolverine," I said.
"I got a question to ask, what were you thinking? Entering that madhouse alone, you didn't even think this through," he said.
"I did think this through. My rogue's gallery and I'm here to put them back in their cages," I said.
"If you have any idea of the horrors that are in there. You would've thought twice about going in there alone," he said.
"As much as I like to argue with you all night. But I got people to save and won't let them down," I said.
"All right, but be careful. I don't want go around telling all the other super heroes who finally got you," he said.
"I will," I said. Back inside the institute, I thought for a moment about what Wolverine has just said. But I can't give up on these people, not while the Green Goblin is still out there.
"You're okay?" she asks.
The Green Goblin then makes another announcement on the tannoy. "Those skinheads were beginning to annoy me. With their Aryan talk and how individuals should be treated. But still, it was fun watching you beat the crap out of them. You haven't changed at all, not since when we battled on the George Washington Bridge," he said. He then chuckles at what he said. I tried my best to calm down, but I couldn't, I picked up a chair and threw it angrily at the tannoy. But I missed by a long shot.
"You have no right to mention that!" I shouted.
"My, my, someone's a bit cranky, catch you later, web slinger," he said. I almost lost back there as the Green Goblin finishes making his announcement. Dr. Elizabeth Millar saw what happened and she is scared.
"I'm sorry; you have no idea what it's like battling a madman like the Green Goblin. After all this, I thought it would end. But I was wrong," I said.
"I understand, we need to keep moving before more inmates show up," she said. We left the therapy hall and headed back into the main hallway.
"Doc, got idea where we are now?" I asked.
"You're in the east section of the building and heading towards my office," Dr. Julian Bendis said. We entered his office to find cluttered with mess that was made in the riot.
"This is Dr. Julian Bendis's office." She sits herself at his desk and tries to access the mainframe. "Damn it, the system has been hacked, but not all of it. I'm trying to see if I can get control of some of the cameras," Dr. Elizabeth Millar said.
"Besides those Neo-Nazi skinheads and the other gang members, what else is locked up in here?" I asked.
"Basically every known super villain you, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and the X-Men ever caught. Also, there're some of New York's worst serial killers that don't make the national news," she said.
"Ouch," I said.
"We're in; it looks like the Green Goblin has split the hostages into groups. Going in separate directions and and he's taking a group of hostages into X-Block," she said.
"X-Block?"
"We never knew what its purpose for, only the founder of the institute knew of its purpose," she said.
"Stay here, I'm going after him," I said.
"Be careful," she said. I left the office to make my way over to X-Block. Over at X-Block, I entered the room to find the Green Goblin standing on top of a dangling metal casket in the middle of the room. I then saw a group of hostages, grouped up in a corner of the room.
"Glad you can make it, Spider-Man. I really missed you and your one-liners," he said.
"Give yourself up, it's the only logical thing to do," I said.
"Is it, hmm, nope? Do you ever wonder what's inside this casket? Well I tell you, during World War II, after they successfully created Captain America. The government decided to recreate the Super Soldier Program, unfortunately the man who created the formula died in an explosion. So they tried to do it, but with disastrous results. After the war ended, Truman pondered what are they going to do with all those guinea pigs who participated in the trials. So, he contacted the original founder of Ravencroft and asked him he can lock them. The rest they say is history, no questions asked and all of it was kept a secret, until now," The Green Goblin said. Wait a minute; Ashley Kafka wasn't the founder, if she wasn't, then who? The Green Goblin opens the casket and a monstrous creature jumps down to the ground and confronts me
"Oh my god, what the hell is that?" I asked.
"He's one of many guinea pigs who participated in the Super Soldier Program. As much as I love to stick around and watch him squash you like a bug. But I got people to torment and havoc to create, have fun," The Green Goblin said. His goblin glider arrives, hops on it and flees the scene as the creature threw the first punch, sending me through the wall.
"Spider-Man, what's going on in there? Have you found any hostages yet?" Capt. Orson Blaine asked.
"I have, but right now, I'm preoccupied with one of the inmates of X-Block," I said. He comes after me, as tries to punch me, but I fought back with everything I got. I managed to defeat the creature with a lot of effort. I went back into X-Block and rescued the first group of hostages. As we entered the office, Dr. Elizabeth Millar was scared of what she saw on the monitor.
"I never seen a creature like that. Was it even human?" she asked.
"It was, until the Super Soldier Program got to him," I said.
"You rescued the first group of hostages, here." She opens an emergency hatch concealed on the floor. "This should lead outside the front gate. Follow the tunnel straight and look for a manhole cover," she said. The hostages enter through the hatch and exited the facility. Finally, some good news after what has happened and developed.
"I want answers, why didn't you tell me about those inmates?" I asked.
"I swear to you, I didn't even know about them, until now. The original founder has many secrets, secrets that the kept hidden from the general public," she said.
"That raises another question, who is the actual founder of the institute?" I asked.
"After I graduated from Cambridge in England, I took an undergraduate course in history. When I was hired by the board directors, they put in charge of chronicling Ravencroft's history," she said.
"That still doesn't answer my question," I said.
"I know, tell you want, if you progress further. I'll fill in on history gaps," she said.
"Sounds fair, any ideas where I should start next?" I asked.
"You might want to start in the social area; it's not that far from this office. It's most likely to be crawling with inmates and hostages," she said. I made my over to social area. My mind is still full of questions, like why is the Green Goblin here? What does he hope to accomplish and more importantly, is he working alone? I enter the social area to find it wrecked and empty, a dead end. A security guard comes around and get up on his feet.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Green Goblin happened, you're lucky to survive," I said.
"I'm Tyler Cain; I was supervising the area when the riot broke out. After that, everything went blank," he said.
"Spider-Man, we just got the first batch of hostages out of the sewer," Det. Martin Len said.
"That's good to know, that was Det. Martin Len of N.Y.P.D on the radio," I said.
"Oh, are they any other survivors?" he asked.
"Dr. Elizabeth Millar is in Dr. Julian Bendis's office. Wait here, if you see any hostages, escort them to the office. There's an emergency hatch opened," I said.
"Will do, I advise caution, Electro was in the area earlier. There's a good chance he might be up ahead," he said.
"Thanks for the heads up, which way?" I asked.
"Down that way, into the transfer hall," he said. I left the social area and entered the transfer hall up north. The lights began to flicker on and off, while my earpiece radio is picking up static, Electro is here.
"I know you're hiding, question is, how long can you keep it up?" I asked.
I hear clapping coming in towards me and Electro comes out of the shadows. "It's funny, you being here in the madhouse. Along with everyone you caught," he said.
"New costume, same ego, Electro," I said.
"I guess the rumours about a riot taking place in here are true. Now then, time to settle the score," he said. He fires an electric blast at me; I used my spider-sense to dodge it.
"Wait a minute, I knew about the riot, once I beat you. I may get some answers out of you," I said. Electro leaps in and attacks me; I dodge every blast he threw at me. But I was able to defeat me, the light stopped flicking and the earpiece radio was restored once Electro is defeated.
"Spider-Man, come in, we heard static, is everything okay?" Wolverine asked.
"Yeah, Electro is down, I might be able to get some answers on who's really running the show," I said.
"You're still here?" Electro asked.
"Yeah, now then, time to get some answers. Starting with, is the Green Goblin behind this or is there someone else pulling the strings?" I asked.
"It began with a rumour, a rumour saying a riot will take place soon," he said.
"Who spread it, was it one of the inmates?" I asked.
"No, someone from the inside is pulling the strings. The Green Goblin is working with that person," he said. He then collapses into a heap; the Green Goblin again makes an announcement on the tannoy.
"I do really hate rats, especially those who wear green and yellow jumpsuits. But he is right about one thing, I am not working alone," he said. He finishes making the announcement, it confirms one thing, the Green Goblin isn't working alone. My only concern now is who, he said someone from the inside, but who and why?
"Doc, did you get that?" I asked.
"Every word, that is disturbing. It's got to be a lie, surely is it," Dr. Elizabeth Millar said.
"I assure you, it's not," I said.
"How do you know?" she asked.
"Because I know him, which way?" I asked.
"Keep heading straight on, it should take you to the intensive treatment room," she said. I make my way to the intensive treatment room.
"I think it's time for a history lesson, Doc," I said.
"Right, the institute was originally founded by Dr. Jonathon Ravencroft and his younger brother Dr. Matthew Ravencroft. The original institute was first opened in May 1909 on the outskirts west near Albany in the New York State," she said.
"Now there's something I didn't know," I said.
"If you want to learn more about the history of Ravencroft. You should probably head to the archives sometime," she said. I arrived to find a single person standing in the room and it was Dr. Curt Connors.
"Dr. Connors, are you all right?" I asked.
I then rushed to his aid. "I was on my way to morgue when the riot broke out," he said. I noticed something was out of place, his right arm grew back.
"Ah Curt, you're right arm just grew back," I said.
"Oh no, I can feel the change occurring, run. Find a chemistry lab, you know what to do," he said. He then transforms into his worst nightmare, the Lizard.
"Would Dr. Elizabeth Millar please report to the intensive treatment room immediately?" I ordered.
"This had better not be a joke, wall crawler," she said.
"Turn to the intensive treatment security camera and you could see why," I said.
She is then shocked by the footage. "Oh my god, is that Dr. Curt Connors?" she asked.
"I'm afraid so, would please come to the intensive treatment room immediately!" I yelled.
"Call all the reinforcements you want, they'll never survive me," The Lizard said.
She then arrives. "I'm here as you requested," she said. I then give her a piece of paper that contains the formula that revert Connors back to his normal self.
"Head to the chemistry lab, make this antidote. It should reverse the transformation," I said.
"What about you?" she asked.
"I'll keep him occupied." The Lizard threw the first punch in my face. Sending to the ground. "Cheap shot, just go," I said. She then heads to the chemistry lab.
"Ready to admit defeat," The Lizard said.
"Four words, I don't think so," I said. He went fought each other. He's tough and he's getting stronger every minute. I almost running out of breath, just fighting this guy. It took five minutes for Dr. Millar to make the antidote. She arrives with it, she throws and I caught it.
"Okay, Doc, open wide," I said. I fed him the antidote, it takes a second for the effects to kick in. He reverts back to good old Dr. Curt Connors.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Good news is the right arm is back to normal, including you," I said.
"That's a relief," he said.
"Since you were in here, have got any idea where the Green Goblin took the hostages?" she asked.
"I don't know, Dr. Millar. I'm sorry I could be of no help," he said.
"Its okay, but I like to know why you were here?" I asked.
"I was on my way to morgue to see my late brother, Sean Connors," he said.
"Time out, you didn't mention you have a brother," I said.
"My wife knew of his existence. But Billy doesn't know and it's probably for the best," he said.
"He was committed here after he set off a bomb at Central Park Zoo. He said that he was getting rid of the communists. He was diagnosed with paranoia schizophrenia. He recently committed suicide, so his cellmate says," she said.
"So I heard, I know Sean too well and he wouldn't do something like that," he said.
"Let's go and find out, which is it to the morgue?" I asked.
"It's in the basement," she said. We them made our way to the basement and into the morgue. The place stinks of dead bodies, mostly inmates and security guards. It's been a while since I been in a morgue.
"Which one contains Sean's body?" Dr. Curt Connors asked.
"3368," Dr. Elizabeth Millar answered. She opens the cabinet and pulls out Sean's body. I picked up the coroners and read it.
"According to this, the coroner concluded that Sean died of an overdose," I said.
"The only way he could've done that is someone smuggled drugs into the institute," she said.
"Or someone wanted to make look like an overdose so they can lure Dr. Connors into the institute," I said.
"Can I have a look at his blood sample?" Dr. Curt Connors asked.
"Sure," Dr. Elizabeth Millar answered. Dr. Connor gets Sean's blood sample out of the fridge. Places a drop of it into a Petri dish and places it under a microscope.
"What time did my brother died?" he asked.
"April 2nd, 5:58 pm," I answered.
"5:58 pm, its not that long after dinner, it must happened during time he was in the dining hall. It looks like your brother was murdered, Dr. Connors," she said.
"She may be right, I think this riot and your brother's death is connected," I said.
The Green Goblin makes an announcement on the tannoy. "Sherlock is right, Sean's death and this riot is all connected. With Sean dead, Curt is forced to come here and once under the stress of the riot. He can transform in the Lizard, which worked for a while until you shove that antidote into his mouth," he said.
"Why don't you start giving me some straight answers. Like who's really running the show?" I asked.
"My partner-in-crime likes to be anonymous, they'll reveal their identity soon enough. Bye bye for now," he said. The announcement was over, I think for moment and wondered who his partner-in-crime is. But I can't, not while there're hostages still out there in this institute.
"I'll be heading back up upstairs. You two stay in here where it's safe," I said.
"Come in, can someone hear me, please respond over," a security guard said.
"This is Spider-Man, I'm in the morgue," I said.
"Thank god, its Carnage, he's got Nurse Gretchen strapped to the chair in the Pacification Chamber," he said.
"What's going on up there?" Dr. Curt Connors asked.
"It's Carnage, he's taken over the Pacification Chamber and strapped Nurse Gretchen to the chair," I said.
"He going to fry her. Go, we'll be fine," Dr. Elizabeth Millar said. I quickly made my way to the Pacification Chamber. While I made my way up to the chamber, I thought of the times he and I fought and how he came close to taking my life and driving me insane. In the chamber, Carnage was about to electrocute her when I burst into the chamber.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? How's it been it web head?" he asked.
"Not bad, and you?" I asked.
"Great, having the time of my life," he said. I saw another group of hostages, all of them terrified because of what he did during his criminal career.
"If you laid a finger on them, I'll break you in two," I said.
"This is not like you. Tell you what, I'll spare good old Nurse Gretchen here and we'll settle this like gentlemen," he said. He releases Nurse Gretchen from the chair. We then fought each, he has the upper advantage because he can block my spider-sense. We fought like there was no tomorrow. He the puts into the submission hold and pins me to the ground.
"Give up, you know you can't win this fight," he said.
A guard notices what's happening and aims a sonic blaster at him. "Spider-Man, cover your ears," she said. She fires the sonic blaster, weakening Carnage and releasing me from the submission hold. I took advantage of the situation and defeated Carnage. He knocked him unconscious, causing to run back into Cletus Kasady. The other security guards and restrained Cletus.
"Good work, let's put this animal back in his cage," another security guard said. Nurse Gretchen was still terrified from her ordeal with Carnage. I reassured and comfort her to let her know that everything is going to be all right. An image of a teenage girl with a scarred Glasgow smile over her mouth appeared on the monitor.
"Its Lauren Sullivan," one of the security guards said.
"That's Lauren 'Go-Go' Sully, genius." I heard of her, she massacred everyone at her rival's sweet sixteen birthday party. She was diagnosed with schizophrenia and sentenced to life behind bars at Ravencroft. "Oh hi, Spidey-Man, how's it hanging?" she asked.
"Not bad Lauren, nice smile, did you get it yourself?" I asked.
"Actually I sliced those scars myself, pretty neat huh? Just to make you weren't going to pull any of those fancy stunts, we got ourselves an insurance policy." She then brings in the warden, tied to an office chair and gagged. "We got the warden hostage, in case if your super hero buddies try to show up, guns blazing," she said.
"Tell the Green Goblin and his partner-in-crime to surrender," I said.
"No can do, Spidey-Man, we're having too much fun. TTFN, ta ta for now," she said. The monitor then went into static. I then knew immediately that they'll be more horror to come.
