" detonation T- Two minutes." The feminine compute voice rang out. I shot out a web onto the tower, swinging around and kicking Dr. Con- no, the lizard monster square in the gut, knocking him off the tower. He grabbed my leg, and my hands were ripped from the rope of webbing as I went tumbling down with the lizard. We whet tumbling down for a few seconds before we hit a large light, smashing the glass into tiny pecies. I fell from the smashed light onto the ground, rolling a meter or two before scrambling to my feet to get away from the lizard. My leg screamed in pain, but I dimmed that from my senses. I had two goals, save the city and not die. I whirled around and shot another strand of webbing above me on the tower structure, trying to pull myself up. But again the creature grabbed onto my leg, ripping my hands from my webbing and throwing me out from the roof of Oscorp tower. My hand reached out, seeing the city so far below and breifly wondering if this was the end. But it couldn't be, I needed to save everyone. I needed to save Gwen. I fell for a couple meters, although it felt like more, before my spider-reflexes kicked in and I shot another strand of webbing at the tower.

I dropped onto the glass walls of Oscorp, not wasting a second to catch my breath as I climbed up, I halted for a second close to the top, my spider-sense ringing. A mili-second later, the lizard game thrusting a large container of freezing chemicals,(I wasn't wasting the time to figure it what it was) and I dodged it. I traveled to my left, the lizard following me, growling. I shot webbing on his face, he roared, jumping back to claw at his face before reappearing quickly, now using his tail as a weapon. I jumped out of the way as it crashed into the glass wall that had been crowched on just seconds ago. I shot a piece of webbing up, flipping onto the roof and forcefully kicking the lizard in the face. He roared in shock and pain. Honestly, I think he was roaring at everything. I shot more webbing at the tower blow the device that would soon detonate the bio toxin that would turn everyone into huge lizards. I began to swing around, climbing higher to the device. I paused breifly to catch my breath and figure out what the hell the lizard was planning next. Right on time, I though, as the lizard threw another container, which I discovered was liquid nitrogen, at me. I successfully dogged it, but fell from the tower as doing so, landing flat on my back. I shot webbing out, dragging myself away from the lizard as he attacked, again.

(End of Flashback)

I stumbled away from the dead captain. I was sad, definitely. I hadn't known the guy that well, but all I could think of is what Gwen would feel. I didn't want her to have to go through that. I never did. I started to climb down, the fire escape of Oscorp, and after about 15 minutes of climbing, I landed on the ground. I ran from the sight, running and running, through abandoned always and dark streets, toward the direction of home. I ran through another alleyway, it was dark and musty. It had a dead end, I discovered, as I smacked into it. I fell onto my side, hard. My leg was in agony, my ribs were too but not as much. But I needed to tell my aunt I was ok, even though I was not. I pulled out my phone.

"Peter?" My Aunt's voice sounded worried.

"It's me. I'm ok." I replied, hiding the pain from my voice.

"Thank god. I was so worried, where are you?" She asked.

"I'm staying at my girlfriend Gwens house for a couple days...I don't know how long. I'll call you when I do. Her father died. She needs me...please."

There was a long pause.

"Alight. But you damm well call me when you know for sure how long your staying."

"Thanks." I said, and hung up. Now away from my Aunts hearing, I screamed in agony, my leg was burning, I was seeing black spots and my vision swam in and out. It was going to kill me, I know it was. I needed help. I needed help now.

I grabbed my phone, and somehow managed to dial Gwen from speed dial.

" Peter. This isn't a good time, my f-father died and my mom and brothers are going to my aunts house." Gwen choked.

"4 blocks away. Ally. Dark. Need help. Please." I begged, before dropping the phone as I tried to clutch at my leg, not wanting to disturb the webbing acting as a bandage. But I could clearly see it was soaked through with blood from the gunshot. If Dr. Connors aka big scary lizard guy hadn't broken my web slingers I might be in a better situation right now.

"Gwen. Please, Gwen." I murmured.
