ISSUE III
THE DELIVERER OF JUSTICE
Peter Parker, riding his motorized scooter, was riding on his way to Broadway to see the Lord of the Rings musical, something that Peter was very fond of because he loved the books and the movies. The only reason he went to see the play was that his wife, Mary Jane Parker, was playing Arwen in the play. Peter was so proud of her for getting the star female role, although she insisted that it was no big deal, for the play mainly concerned the Fellowship of the Ring and their exploits. He had left half an hour early for the play, since traffic was awful, and so he could get some flowers and chocolates. He made sure he wore his nicest suit with the most expensive tie, and he got his ticket in advance.
He got a box of chocolates, he got a bouquet of roses, but the one thing that caught his eye was the latest issue of the Daily Bugle. He wasn't interested by the headline, which blared in red and blue letters 'Spider-Man is a Menace- And This Time We Have Proof!" A man off the street stated that he saw Spider-Man steal a man's pizzas, which was a lie (Peter web slinged home because his pizza was getting cold). However, on the right hand corner it said 'Scientist Goes to Hospital- Page 4", so Peter bought a copy. Peter zoomed on in his motorized scooter and zoomed towards to the stage, where he handed in a ticket and found a seat.
Once he sat down, Peter immediately opened his newspaper to page 4, which had something that Peter wanted to know about- the fate of Curt Connors. Peter felt somewhat guilty for Curt's capture by the police. Curt hadn't done anything major- just ripped up a shack with his tail and bent some light posts when he Spider-Man fought. Curt had defiantly done worse. Unlike all the other villains he encountered, Peter felt sorry for Curt. It was like expelling a mentally disabled child when he picked on a fight when he got teased. It was just something that he couldn't avoid.
However, Peter was glad to learn that they didn't give Curt the death penalty or life in prison- he would be forced to spend two years in a mental institution, and they would add another two if he behaved poorly. Peter was glad to hear this. However, another article entitled 'Prisoner Escapes Prison', but he was forced to put the paper away once the show started. It followed the course of the book properly, with an okay cast, an enhanced version of the Howard Shore music in the background, and had some swinging songs. However, Peter didn't think that the songs really fit. It just made it seem sillier.
"As if Frodo would start signing the second he woke up in Rivendell", thought Peter. Suddenly, right after Aragorn was singing a song about the Shards of Narsil, the setting changed to a bridge somewhere in the Elven city, looming over a river. Standing on the bridge was actor Billy Smith, the man who played Aragorn in the play, and Mary Jane, who obviously played Arwen. Peter clapped once he saw Mary Jane, although he was met with several stares from the audience. Once Peter took a good look at her, he grimaced, for she wore a wig that transformed her short, red hair into long, black hair. However, Peter didn't care. He just wanted to see his wife act.
"Do you remember the first time we met?" asked Mary Jane.
"Oh yes", said Billy. "I remember." Suddenly, the two broke out in song instead of talking normally. The song chronicled the romantic conversation that Aragon and Arwen had where Arwen gave up her immorality, but it was a lot less moving as a song. Peter just wished he could run out of the theatre and scream, but Mary Jane wouldn't like that. The play went on, with the characters singing at every scene. The play chronicled all three novels, so Peter took several Aspirins while watching the tree hour show. At the end, Samwise Gamgee, played by some unknown actor, said he was back, which Peter knew was the end and he was excited for it to be over. However, he then broke out into song, singing about being back, before the play ended.
Peter was ecstatic when the play ended. The ending was the best part of the whole play for Peter, just because it was over with and done. He didn't have enough time to burn, however, for he ran to Mary Jane.
"Was I good?" asked Mary Jane, who ripped off her silly wig.
"You were the best thing about the play", said Peter.
"Really?" asked Mary Jane. "Was my voice good?"
"Your voice was like the song of a Bluejay on a clean, spring day", said Peter. M.J. didn't seem impressed, however.
"Oh, stop it", sighed M.J. "I have to get changed. Then we can talk."
"Okay", said Peter. "I'll just wait outside with the ushers". Peter then walked out of a theatre with a smile on his face, for he would now spend some quality time with M.J. However, there was someone really close to Peter who was smiling also, for he would also have some quality time with M.J.
Dmitri Smerdyakov ran out of the theater all ecstatic. He finally knew where and how to strike at Peter. He had his costume at the ready, which would take less than a minute to put on, and his mind was finally free of his negative emotions, which temporarily drove him insane.
Shortly after his 'special' visit from Harry Osborne, he had thought up a way of how to escape. He was silent those few days when he was brainstorming. All of the guards were relieved, but they were also concerned. They figured that he might be planning a way to get out of the looney bin, but they would never guess how! One day, a guard who wore classes walked by, and Dmitri tripped him on purpose. The glasses broke and the guard got mad, but Dmitri was screaming at him like he was still inane again. The guard, however, didn't notice Dmitri pick up the glass pieces of his broken bifocals. In the middle of the night, when the guards were nearly asleep, Dmitri cut himself up in several places and disposed of the glass, causing his cell to flood with blood. It was painful for him, but it was necessary to give Spider-Man the justice he deserved.
Once the sun rose and the doctors saw the blood, they panicked. After examining his body, they sent him to the nurse's center for further inspection. However, the doctor was on lunch break or something, so he was able to escape out the window and run as far away as possible from the police station. He quickly found his way to his old hideout, which was still intact but was infested with cobwebs and smelled like rat urine. But this was his place, the one place he felt comfortable in- the one place that he constructed his costumes. Using a picture he found in an older Daily Bugle, he began to build the Lizard costume. That process took about a week and a half, but when it was completed, it was pure masterpiece.
In the end, it looked as if Dmitri had skinned the great reptile himself and was about to put the scaly hide on. Unfortunately, the tail couldn't be used as a whip-like weapon like the actual Lizard's, but it still looked realistic when Dmitri ran around in it. The claws he used were really dull metal, and since he didn't have a knife sharpener and certainly couldn't get one, he would just have to punch the hell out of anyone who resisted him. The Chameleon was on the hunt, and he would get his prey- not matter who stood in the way.
