Chapter Six

I had doubts about continuing the story after I read other really good fanfics. But my mommy told me not to end something before I finish it blah determination blah don't give up. So I won't. No matter where this stupid, meaningless story leads to. Here comes Chapter Six.


Spider-man landed silently in his own apartment, and pulled off his red mask. His face got slashed by a woman in a sleek leather costume lined with white fur. The sirens were actually a false alarm. Spider-man met the costumed burglar on his way home. The thief called herself Black Cat. Spider-man could still remember the thwhip of silver, platinum blond hair brush past him as she escaped Spider-man out the window of the manor.

"Never let a Black Cat cross your path!"

Peter laid the back of his hand on the cut, and winced.

"Ow…"Peter turned to look at his bed, where MJ was sleeping soundly. She suddenly gave a violent kick with her good leg, and the thin blanket plopped on the ground next to Peter. He realized MJ was wearing a tight tank top, and shorts—boxer shorts—Peter's boxer shorts. Peter picked up the sheet and covered MJ with it, feeling completely embarrassed and dirty.

MJ stirred wildly, taking up three quarters of the bed. She hummed, and her head rolled off the pillow.

While Peter changed, he could hear someone muttering in another room. But he didn't bother to find out whom, he was too tired. When he finally got into his pajamas, or rather, old t-shirt with shorts, he tucked in, with difficulty. He tried his best not to move MJ, afraid of waking her up.

After one tense minute, Peter finally got into a comfortable enough spot—with his shoulder squashed against the wall. He could've moved a little closer to MJ, there was at least half a foot in between them. After a while, Peter turned his body to face MJ, and noticed that she had managed to throw off the entire blanket off her body the second time that night. Again, Peter pulled at the blanket and tucked MJ in warmly. Peter observed his beautiful lover raptly for a long time.

MJ was snoring a little, sniffing quietly.

Peter moved his face closer to MJ's, and pecked her cheeks dryly.

"Good night, Mary Jane Watson."

And he slowly dozed off to a dreamless sleep.

……..

"Wake up, darling." MJ's soothing voice spoke out of nowhere. Peter obeyed, he sat up from his bed, yawning. He felt fresh and noticed the cut had already been reduced to a little paper cut sized wound on his cheeks.

"Hey, did you have a good night?" Peter asked, admiring the angelic person sitting on his bedside.

"Yea, it was great. Now hurry up and brush, we need to go see Aunt May."

"Right." Peter scurried to the washroom.

……..

"Do you…remember your name?"

"May Parker." Aunt May answered clearly.

"Do you know where you are?"

"Yes, in a hospital." she answered correctly. She was annoyed.

"You're, mentally, in great shape, Mrs. Parker. Last question, do you remember last nights events?"

Aunt May hesitated, and ignored the nurse of her last question.

"It's alright. You don't have to say it." The young nurse comforted her, "I'll go now, ok? Your nephew's here."

The nurse politely nodded at Peter as he walked past her through the door with MJ.

"Aunt May! Are you feeling any better?" Peter sat down on her bedside, and kissed Aunt May's cheeks lightly.

"I'm perfectly fine, kiddo, other then a few broken limps and some burns, I'm fine, don't worry about me." Aunt May smiled weakly, and closed her eyes. Peter stroked her wrinkled forehead, feeling the coarse white hair on her head.

"Don't worry, Peter, the doctor said she's going to be alright. Aunt May's a strong woman." MJ said.

The door clicked open, and Harry Osborn stood in its doorway. He looked exhausted, and his lips were drained of blood, and chapped. His bony cheeks protruded a lot more than usual. He was almost all skin and bones.

Peter and Mary Jane stared, open mouthed. Peter was angry, MJ, on the other hand, was fearful. She backed away silently.

"Harry? Why are you here?" Peter said. He didn't know what to say. He was downright pissed at Harry. And Harry must've felt the same for Peter. What do you want, Harry...?

"I have no reason not to be here, pal. I'm a visitor, and I have every right of being here than you are." Harry's eyes were blank and expressionless, as he placed his flowers on a little table by Aunt May's feet.

Peter got on his feet, unable to control his anger. "You went terrorizing Mary Jane and Aunt May, and then setting fire to an apartment, risking lives of other residents last night. All for revenge on Spider-man! I SWEAR I DIDN'T KILL YOUR FATHER!"

"Yes, you did. And you'll pay, Spider-man."

"But Aunt May and Mary Jane were innocent. You almost killed Aunt May!"

"Harry, you were the Green Goblin. You were at Aunt May's apartment last night...You threw Aunt May in a table...Don't you remember?" MJ managed to say.

"I don't know what you freaks are talking about! I never laid a finger on Aunt May and MJ!" Harry paused; Peter and Mary Jane both looked taken back. Harry faced Peter. "I don't go around hurting INNOCENT PEOPLE, bug, if that's what you mean."

Harry glared dangerously at Peter, and left.

What could Peter have done? Beat him to pulp right in a hospital?

Aunt May was asleep as it seems. Peter, glad, that his aunt didn't overhear their conversation, sat back down beside her. Thinking, and rethinking about the the conversation. Peter wasn't sure if Harry took the performance enhancers, or not. Did he know that he was the Green Goblin?

Talking about innocent, Harry was the most innocent in this whole situation. It wasn't his fault that his father was the Green Goblin. Further more, his father's death...Harry did nothing to deserve it--he'd already lost his mother, and now, even his father was gone. No wonder he wanted revenge.

Mary Jane peered out the windows, having the same thoughts as Peter. She saw Harry stepping into his shiny black Rolls Royce down below. It turned the corner and disappeared.


Harry took another sip of the red wine, tasting its bitterness and at the same time, its cold sweetness in his mouth.

He know it's you, son. Avenge me, before it's too late. Avenge me!

"Leave me alone!" Harry screamed out loud, "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

The voice spoke in his hurting head, Never, kill Spider-man for me, son. He killed me, now avenge me for what he did!

"No! He's my best friend! I know what you did last night, Goblin!" Harry was breathing very heavily, his face dripped with cold sweat. "How dare you…you almost killed Aunt May!"

Not me, Osborne. I'm not the Goblin... You are! YOU were the one set fire to the apartment. YOU were the one who was TERRORIZING. YOU! YOU were everything, Osborne.

"No... no…" Harry gulped.

The Goblin let out a little cackle to tease Harry. You're so pathetic, Osborn. You wouldn't have the guts to kill Spider-man. You're one useless weakling, despite your name ends with Osborn. Your father did what I told him to do, what I commanded him to do. And now you will step in your father's footsteps, wimp.

"Then my father was stupid to do what you...you monster…told him to do!" Harry yelled to nobody.

Tsk, tsk. You're a futile wimp, that's what you are. Spider-man is our target. We attack his emotions, his soul. I'll help you achieve what you've always wanted for the past two years.

Think about it…wouldn't it be a better world without Spider-man. Everyone hates him…you can kill him for the citizen's sakes. Kill him for your father. Your father would be very proud of you, if you could do what Spider-man did to him.

Torture him, make him suffer. Remember, your father went through the same thing... Avenge him...

"But what do I do…" Harry's head didn't hurt that much now, he was breathing more normally… and he was accepting the Green Goblin.

We'll know when the time is right…

The Goblin cackled evilly.

WE shall rid Parker together.
