Hey Guys! It's your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Jaya! Here to Bring you another Story!
And Before you start reading this, any of you who have read my story "Shock and Recovery"
Are probably gonna be like 'Whaaaaaaaat? This is the same story!' But I assure you it's not!
I wrote this mash up of Flashbacks, and how Peter was feeling back when the episode
"The New Sinister Six" Came out, and there were two possible endings I thought of. One were
Peter was hurt and was PHysically/Mentally recovering from the entire incident, and Cho and
Miles help him out. And then I thought of this one, where it's been about a day since the incident,
and He's at home, and Flash comforts him. So yes, the beginning of this is almost word for word
with the beginning of "Shock and Recovery" But the endings are totally different! So yeah, just wanted
to clear that up so no one was confused. ;)
Anyway, without frther ado, let's get into the story!
Peter's POV
I was in Shock. I didn't want to except what was going on.
I had just locked myself in my bedroom. Somehow hoping if I stayed there long enough, it would go away. Like it never happened. Like he wasn't gone. It was my fault!
I buried my face in my hands, why? Why did it all have to play out like that?
Me fighting Doc Ock…
Falling into the water with that tentacle wrapped around me…
I couldn't move…
SPLASH!
The cold, hard, unforgiving water, slowly sinking me…
'I'm gonna die.' I remember thinking.
'What about Aunt May…'
Then I couldn't fight off the darkness consuming my vision any longer.
Ben's POV
Now was the time Ock told me to encage. Step one in motion.
I watched as he fell from the Tricarrier. 'Wow, I'll be surprised if there's anything left to rescue after that fall!' I thought.
I sighed diving in after him. I swam under and came up pulling him.
I was surprised at how light he was, when I dragged him onto the shore.
As soon as I laid him on the shore, he started to splutter, and cough, up water.
I quickly lifted his mask above his mouth, as the water came out of his mouth, from nearly drowning.
Then he went limp again. I pulled his mask back down as I layed him back down.
About five minutes later he woke up with a groan.
Then The way He protected Aunt May…
Betrayed Me. Ripped my mask and all things important away from me.
But I fought back. Then the pain. The pain when Ock showed me Aunt May captured. And when he shot me in the air…threw me to the ground…And attacked me, I was barely even conscious then.
Right when everything started going dark…Ock Handed me over to Scarlet to finish me.
And I remember him raising his stingers. I braced myself for the pain, but it never came.
He cut me free, supporting me as I immediately collapsed. Then he cut Aunt May Free.
He fought off Ock, Got us safe…And then he saved the city…
"Is this what he would do?"
"Who?"
"The Other Ben. The one I'm named after."
"Yeah. He'd give anything to save others."
"Ock was wrong Peter. Compassion isn't your greatest weakness. It's your greatest Strength."
"Keep being a Hero…Punk."
Then the screen went fuzzy and cut off.
"Ben! Nooooo!" I screamed watching Hydra Island crash.
"No Ben!" I screamed in my bedroom. I sobbed into my hands. "Why? Why Ben? That should've been me! I could've helped him! Why?!"
I couldn't stand it. Why did it have to be him? I heard a knock on the door.
"Hey Spidey?" Agent Venom aka Flash Thompson asked rolling into my room.
"You ok?" I took a few steading breaths, before my sobs subsided into an occasional hiccup.
"I'm fine." I said sighing shakily.
"I'm not stupid Parker. What's the matter?"
I sighed again taking another deep, grounding breath.
"I-" My voice cracked. "I wish Ben was here. I already lost my Uncle. And Now Ben. I could've done something! Why didn't he let us save him?!" I half yelled, half cried. I hated feeling this crummy.
"Spidey…There's Nothing you could've done."
"I know…I just wish there was." I Said taking a shaky breath.
"I know Pete…But remember what Scarlet said…Keep being a Hero."
You can't do that sitting in here blaming yourself." Flash said.
I sighed. You're right Flash…Thanks." I said giving him a half smile. I got up and went out the window.
I wiped my eyes, put my mask on. I started to web sling across the city…to be a hero, like Ben Reilly.
