Well Bruce, here we are again. It has been ten years since Aunt May died and almost three since the untimely death of my one true love Mary Jane.
Three Years Ago
(a call comes into one of th many police departments in New York)
Operator:
This is 911, how may I help you.
Caller:
There is a bomb in the Hell's Kitchen Dinner Theater.
Operator:
Who is calling?
All she gets then is a tone.
She then presses a button and pages the chief of police.
Operator:
Chief, there has been a bomb threat phone in.
Chief Of Police:
Where.
Operator:
Hell's Kitchen.
Chief:
OK, Thank You.
The chief then pressed a button on his intecom.
Chief:
Cheryl.
Cheryl.
Yes?
The chief then said that he wanted her to call the Department of Homeland Security and get the swat team.
When he talked to Agent Gimbrone, he told her the situation and she thinks that it could be a terrorist threat.
It ended up being an unsolved incident
(Spider-Man's POV)
Now, as Paul Harvey would say, is the rest of the story.
Mary Jane was always understanding about my "other" job. Even though she had wanted me at the majority pf her plays, she understood that if there was a major problem I would not be able to make it. All that she asked is that I would call first to let her know.
I had to go to Buffalo to help clean up a situation with the Lizard and Hydro Man.
As I was finishing up, she gave me a call. She told me of the situation and I said I would be there as soon as possible. When I had got there it was too late because I found out that the building had gotten blown up I swung over the top of a few of the other building which took me a few blocks away. I then ran back the few blocks and asked to see her body.
They had told me that it had been taken to the morgue and that I would have to go there to identify the body.
I went to the precinct an identified the body. I then asked when I could have it so that I could lay her to rest. The had said to come and get it the next day. That night, I started to make the arrangements for her funeral. Two days later, we held the wake and a day after that, was the service. All of this happened Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of that week.
Saturday and Sunday, I did not feel like doing anything in particular. I was glad that my friends Logan and Johnny Storm showed up to cheer me up.
In the next several months, I drowned myself in work, both at the Bugle and as Spider-Man.
A few days after I went back to work, I got called into J.J.'s office. When I got there, I saw that he was there along with Robby. It surprised me at the general care that seem to be in J.J.'s voice. He was wondering how I was doing and if I wanted some time off. I told him that I did not and left the office.
A few days later, I was fighting the Sinister Six again when Doctor Octopus pulled out a gun. He claimed that he was told that it was a disntegrator. I did not believe him. He fired the gun and I felt my molecules coming apart. I watched as he disappeared.
