The monster ran up toward the roof as the Green Goblin and Dr. Octopus chased after him. When they reached the roof, the monster lunged at them. The Green Goblin quickly threw several dozen of his orange pumpkin bombs as the monster gracefully flipped away from them. From above, it almost seemed like a fireworks display as a bright light flashed and disappeared soon to be replaced by another one.
'AAARRRGGGGHHH!' screamed Harry.
"Leave it to me," said Dr. Octopus as he walked toward Spiderman. He grabbed the monster in mid-air with two of his metal tentacles. He flung Spiderman against a metal box full of switches and wires. The impact of the throw was so hard that the box broke off the post. Before the monster could stand up, one of Otto's tentacles-which was attached with an electrode- electrocuted it. The monster roared in agony. It slowly got up while Octavius grabbed it and flung it against a pile of bricks that fell to the ground below. The monster tried to get up, but after several attempts, it slowly fell to the floor.
Gwen Stacy was running toward St. Vincent's Medical Center. The minute Peter had swung away, she had run down the stairs and exited the building. 'Oh, god. I hope-' Suddenly, she saw doctors, nurses, and patients frantically running out of the hospital's entrance. She pushed against the crowd. She peered through the clear doors of the hospital. She heard the air conditioner running, but the lights were off. 'I got to get to Mary Jane and May Parker. I have to-' She heard a loud crash and quickly looked up. She saw bricks falling toward her.
Bobby and Rogue finally reached the empty hospital. A large crowd of people were running out of the hospital.
"Bobby! Look!" screamed Rogue. Bobby saw where Rogue's finger was pointing to and saw a young blonde woman staring at the falling debris. He quickly sped towards her on his slide and grabbed her just as the debris hit the ground.
"Thanks," said the blonde as she hugged Bobby tightly.
"No problem," replied Bobby. He quickly dropped her next to the entrance and was about to leave when the girl stopped him.
"Wait!" Both Bobby and Rogue turned around.
"Who are you guys?"
"We're the X-Men," said Rogue quickly, "Sorry, we can't chat, but we have to get to Spiderman-"
"Really?" interrupted the blonde, "I came here too just for that reason. I have to get to his girlfriend and his aunt-they might be in danger."
"Wait," said Bobby as he lowered his ice slide towards her, "You know who he is?"
She nodded. Rogue quickly looked up at Bobby, who silently knew what she was thinking.
"Show us where they are," said Rogue. Bobby quickly returned to his normal self, and with Rogue, he hopped off the ice slide.
'Should I trust them?' thought Gwen, 'Heck, Gwen-this is an emergency. Not only that, but they just saved your life.'
"Follow me," said Gwen as she headed for the stairs. Bobby and Rogue followed.
"Look-"said Mary Jane angrily, "I really have to get up there."
"Sorry, ma'am. I just can't let you," replied the security guard.
Suddenly, they were surrounded in darkness. The security guard quickly flicked on his flashlight.
"Miss, are you-"Before the security guard could finish his question, he dropped his flashlight and fell onto the floor. Mary Jane quickly picked up the flashlight and shined it toward where the security guard was standing. There, she saw Gwen, a young teenage boy, and a young girl with her left hand raised. She quickly put her glove back on.
"Gwen?" asked Mary Jane.
"Mary Jane, we have to get up to the roof fast," said Gwen.
"No, you have to stay here. You don't under-"
"Look, Mary Jane, I know Peter's Spiderman," interrupted Gwen. Mary Jane looked up at her with wide eyes.
"How-"
"No time," interrupted Gwen, "We have to get to Peter fast."
Mary Jane quickly nodded.
"Hold on, tight, ladies," said Bobby as he covered himself in ice again. He quickly formed an ice slide as Rogue and Gwen hopped on. Mary Jane hesitated. Gwen noticed her slight hesitation.
"Don't worry," said Gwen, "they're the good guys."
"No, it's not that. I'm just worried about Aunt May. Who's going to take care of her?"
Gwen paused and stepped off the slide.
"I will," she said as she got off.
"Are you-"
"Yeah, don't worry. I'll be fine," replied Gwen as she walked toward Aunt May. Mary Jane smiled.
"Thanks," she said as she got onto the slide.
"Ready?" asked Bobby. Mary Jane nodded, and they quickly slid up toward the roof.
