Harry Osborn was hovering on his glider and throwing pumpkin bombs at arriving police cars. People around him were cowering in fear. Some were running away, screaming. He was enjoying himself.
Just then he heard some people standing about 2km away from him chanting. His hearing was bad and he could not understand their words. He flew closer and heard one word that froze him with fear. Spidey. Someone placed a hand on his shoulder and called softly "Harry." He turned around and came face to face with his old friend and new enemy. Spiderman.
Looking at him reminded Harry about a event 3 years ago. When Peter refused to give him Spiderman's blood and betrayed him. The fight between them replayed in his mind. Harry's blood began to boil and he screamed, "You! Spiderman! Or should I say Peter Parker?".Harry chuckled. "Harry, I've come here to apologise to you. I'm sorry for not giving you my blood. I wanted to protect you. I cared for you. I….," said Spiderman. "Cared for me? You. Cared, For. Me. If you cared for me, you would have given me your blood! You wouldn't have betrayed me!". With that Harry flew towards him with his sharp nails. Peter's spider-sense started tingling and he moved out of the way. But Harry swerved and came after him. It was a game of dodge. When Peter tried to keep out of Harry's way, Harry would come right back at him.
Peter decided to take this fight to the skies and shot his web at a nearby building and swung away. Harry just chased him on his glider, at full speed.
As Peter swung through alleys and buildings, he just couldn't shake Harry off. He thought about where he could bring him when Harry caught hold of Peter around his neck and started strangling him. Peter tried prying off his arm but Harry's grip was like steel. Peter repeatedly smacked his side against a wall, hoping to injure Harry. And he succeeded. Harry lost his grip and almost fell of his glider. Peter shouted "Please Harry. I said I'm sorry. We don't have to fight. If it makes you happy, I'll do whatever you want." Peter regretted saying the last sentence. Harry screamed right back at him" Do whatever I want eh? I want to kill you!". Harry charged at Peter again and Peter swung into the air. After a while of playing dodge, Peter realized he was back the clock tower where Gwen had died. He stopped and turned around to look at Harry. Harry too had stopped and realized where they were. He had a glazed look in his eyes.
"Gwen died here, didn't she?" Harry said. Peter was shocked by his outburst and didn't know what to say. "I killed her, right? She was everything to you." Peter started getting flashbacks about Gwen. The first time she had talked to him, when he turned up at her fire escape after getting injured, at Captain Stacy's funeral, in the classroom hallways, at the graduation, when she turned up to help him defeat Electro, when she died. "I'm sorry, Peter." Peter looked up at Harry. Harry had changed. Gone was the veins protruding from his forehead, the sharp nails, the goblin-shaped ears. He looked like the Harry he knew before he turned into a goblin. But he was still standing on his glider. "Harry?" called Peter. "Yes, Peter. I'm sorry for everything. I should have understood that you were only trying to protect me. I killed Gwen and I'm sorry."
