He had saved his friends, he thought he had won, he was wrong.
The Goblin, the one person on this earth who could amount to limitless evil, and he had no second thoughts about ending Spider-man's world in an instant. The Hell carrier was falling apart around him and his team, Fury had sent in a shuttle to evac the team until only Spider-man and White Tiger were still aboard the derelict wreck of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology.
"GO! I'm not going without Osborn!" Spider-man yelled as the ship exploded around him. "He's still…"
Spider-man was knocked off his feet with Tiger behind him, the two now holding on to bent pieces of metal. Soon a monstrous figure hovered above them,
"Human? No, no more. And what precious speeches you're giving." Goblin stood on his glider, clearly with the upper hand in this situation.
"TIGER!" Spider-man yelled, as he witnessed one of his worst fears.
Fingers slipped, a body fell, Tiger was plummeting towards the water below. Spider-man shot a web line after his teammate, catching her leg and saving her.
"WHY? Why are you filled with so much hate!?" Spider-man asked his greatest enemy.
"Me? Let's see your ideals in action shall we? You want to save countless lives? Then It will cost you just one. Drop White Tiger, and you can stop me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!" Goblin flew away, offering his ultimatum to the wall crawler.
Spider-man looked down to his dangling friend, then back at the Goblin.
"Do it, you have to stop him!" Tiger assured her friend.
"Not a fan of that plan!" Spider-man said as he jumped after the Goblin, Tiger in tow.
The next few moments were a climax of sorts. Spider-man had Nova fly Tiger back up to the shuttle while he finished off the Goblin. The young hero knew he had to save the city from becoming a goblin army, and as he punched and kicked his foe, everything clicked. He was a machine, he had stopped one of the biggest threats New York has ever seen, and he had rescued his friends.
Back on the helicarrier, Spider-man was met by his team, Dr. Conners, and Coulson. Luke fist-bumped the web head, Danny bowed with respect, and Sam gave him a killer hi-five. That just left Ava. She was hanging back, watching as one of her best friends got congratulated. She was about to walk up to him when…
"Spider-man, my office. Now.' Fury ordered over the PA.
As he walked away, certain he would get an earful from the Director, Ava watched. Then she smiled.
The team had decided to follow after him once a few minutes had passed and their leader hadn't come back. It was agreed upon that they needed to know what was happening in Fury's office.
As they rounded a corner to peer through the doorway, they saw none other than Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America standing with Spider-man.
"Whoa, the Avengers? What're they doing here?" Sam pondered, curious to see why they had been called to the Tri-carrier.
The Earth's Mightiest Heroes left shortly after, turning back to Spider-man the team ran up to him, begging to know what just happened.
"What was that all about?" Luke asked.
"Yeah seriously, why were the Avengers here?" Sam added.
"They, they asked me to be on their team." Spider-man responded, followed by a short silence. Everyone took a moment to take that in.
"What!? Are you gonna do it?" Luke asked him.
"I haven't decided yet, I don't really know guys." Spider-man told them, then he looked over at Ava. She was walking away slowly with her arms crossed. Peter ran after her.
"Ava! Hey what's wrong?" He took hold of her hand and turned her around. Once he had her attention he quickly released her hand, face red.
She looked down, trying not to make eye contact. "Nothing, I'm really happy for you Parker."
He knew something was up. "I can tell when something's bothering you, I'm your friend Ava you can talk to me."
"'It's nothing, drop it." She snapped, this caught him off guard.
"Okay then, If you ever need anything, I'm here."
"Yeah, no go back to your party bugboy." She hit him on the arm and actually cracked a half smile. Peter gave her his trademark goofy grin and went back to the others.
