Peter gracefully landed on top of the nearest building after he had successfully hung those two fools who were trying to rob a hardware store earlier as Spider-man.
He was just planning to crawl home when his spider-sense activated. It was a weird but not unpleasant feeling, like something was warning him even before the danger appeared. This time it was no different then the others.
Peter quickly shot his web and swung away. He had to keep moving, just in case something was trying to aim at him.
"Someone or something is here..."
He knew it was true. He could sense a strange presence close to him, but couldn't determine where it the strange scent was coming from. It seemed to be spread all around him. Or maybe the truth is.
"Whatever it is, it's too fast!"
Peter looked around him and found the tallest building around. He quickly uses his web-zipping ability and ascended to the top of the building. Peter crouched there, focusing on finding where that thing which had been forewarned was. But despite his efforts, it was nowhere to be found.
Peter finally gave up since his spider-sense no longer tingled as much as it had been. Just as he raises his right arm to aim the web, Peter saw, from the corner of his eye, something was there. It had been hiding in a dark alley, out of his eye range. It wasn't what he had been looking for, but it was there.
Peter quickly jumped down from the top of the building and as he was close to the ground, he shot a stream of spider-web at the wall and in a blink of an eye, he was right over it.

Harry sagged down onto his chair and sighed. He held his face in his hands and tries easing himself. He had never been more troubled or tired before. But with all that'd just happened today, how could he not be.
He looked up at the phone, hesitated, picked it up, changed his mind, put it down, laid back, changed his mind again, picked the phone up and punched in the numbers.
Just as Harry was gonna slam the phone back into place, somebody picked up on the other side. Before that person could say anything, Harry spoke in an irritated way.
"Don't say anything. Just shut up and listen to what I have to say!"
He waited a while and when it was confirmed that the other line wouldn't say anything 'til he finished, Harry continued, this time he spoke in a clear and slower voice.
"It's been stolen. Yes! The bloody suit has been pilfered. Just this morning. I've had the security doubled, nobody will be able to enter or leave the building 'til I say so."
He paused for a moment as though to be deep in thought then continued, "It was stolen just minutes after I finished the inspection for the day. So it shouldn't have gotten far, yet!"
Harry didn't know how very wrong he was. The suit, by that time had been far away from the lab. And also by that time, it had chosen a master, someone it would serve, until then.
"I need your help now! Get your men over here and guard the whole building for me! NOW!"
With that, he hung up the phone and drop back into his chair.
"The one to kill Spider-man will be me!" he muttered.
***********************************
Peter let out a muffled cry as he fought back with all of his spider-strength. He knew he had managed to dodge just as that thing had come slamming at him. But somehow, here he was stuck with it. Its 'tentacles' were grabbing him tightly, squeezing the air out of him. He tried to fight back but the more he did, the tighter it became.
"Is this the end of me? The end of Spider-man and Peter Parker?"
Peter suddenly realized this could very well be the end of...everything. He would die, just like that. And never again would he be able to see Aunt May or MJ's face again. That was when the strength to survive and the strength of rage came to him. It was the same when the Green Goblin had tried to kill him. But he had made one big mistake. The green Goblin shouldn't have taunted Peter, nor did he have to say all those bad things about MJ. He had paid dearly with his life.
Peter grabbed a nearby object with his web and pulled it hard towards himself. As it got closer to him, Peter shot another thread of web and this time with more strength. The empty glass bottle broke into smaller pieces and sharp enough so Peter could grab one and stab the thing that was now trying to swallow him alive.
Peter let out a sigh of relief as the octopus thing that was on him loosened its grip. He was about to get the thing off of him when pain shot through him. It was like he was being turned inside out. Peter gasped and collapsed when the pain had proved to be even more than Spider-man could handle.
***********************************
Harry wasn't feeling too well. It'd been a while now and he still couldn't dig up any information as to where it might be.
He constantly rubbed his head but it did no good. Harry suddenly remembered what his father, Norman Osborn, had always taught him to do, "If you see me in pain, you MUST get those pills from the third right drawer of my desk!"
He wondered what had happened to those pills, whether the servants had threw them out or were they still here.
Harry quickly pulled open the specific drawer and to his surprise, there were not one but a LOT of bottles filled with those pills. He picked up one and tried to read the label. But, there was nothing on the label. Just some chemical formula that he had no idea what they meant. He was never good at Chemistry. This was Peter's specialty. He wished Peter was here to help him deal with this, somehow.
Harry opened the bottle and took out a few of those pills. He shrugged as he swallowed those pills dryly.
"I need water!" he thought as he began to stand up to walk to the mini-bar. Only then did he realize that there was something beneath those bottles. Harry sat down on his chair again and lifted them out.
There seemed to be a pack of papers there. Harry pulled them out and quickly checked them.
As he laid eyes onto the first page, Harry gasped and dropped the papers.
On the front page, there were diagrams of a weird round object. It was exactly the same as the devices that the Green Goblin had used on the balcony.
Harry trembled as realization came to him.
"Father...father was...the Green Goblin!"
