A/N Man guys I'm sorry this is late, but my beta reader couldn't read for me, and my aunt and uncle were visiting, blah blah blah. Well I have bad news guys, School starts next week and I'm putting a limit on myself for only 3 hours a day (and i'm having my dad put parental controls: Time only enforce it) so honestly don't expect updates except maby once a week, like on weekends, because I don't want to get so wrapped up in the computer that I forget about my studies! YIKES! Anyways like I said, my beta reader isn't able to read for me, but I downloaded Corel wordperfect, and used the spelling and grammer check tools on there, so beware of mistakes, cuz in some places I wasn't sure what to change some spelling mistakes to! Lol also I started a new fic, called Forever Phantom (Named after the rumoured eppie cuz It's what I think that eppie would be about if I wrote it!), so you might want to check that out. Well now I guess I should shut up so you can read, talk to yall's later! (Oh yeah, be warned, there are a few depressing spots in this!)

Along Came A Spider

Chapter 14: Trust No One

I can't believe it, all this time it's been him. That's why he doesn't trust me, that's why he's never around when Spiderman is.

It was late in the afternoon and Danny had left his spot at the park in search of a more private place to think. Flying around the city he had finally settled for the top of a very tall building, where he was now sitting, thinking, and staring at the sky.

That's why he didn't trust me, every time he shows up, it's always at the exact moment that I look bad, he never shows up when the other bad guys are around. NEVER

It was true, every time something Ghost related happened, Spiderman showed up, but it was always conviently at a time that Danny would look bad.

That's not his fault, it's mine and the guys I'm fighting, if I could just show him that it's not me, he may trust me; one part of his mind thought.

But you can't go back there just yet, he lied to you and didn't believe you when you said you were innocent; the other side said to him.

But you lied to him too, so you're even, maby if you just tell him you know his secret he'll understand.

RIGHT...just go straight out and tell him you know his secret, that's a good idea for sure.

Ahh shut up.

Danny's mind was having a very long and drawn out battle and it wasn't about to end anytime soon. Both sides were convincing and Danny wasn't about to make a bad decision.

"Then I'll have someone else make my decision for me", He said, getting up and flying off in to the distance.

MJ and Sam were walking around in the same mall that they had all went to two days earlier, and both of their legs were getting tired.

"Let's just give up, we're never going to find a gothic clothing store in a mall this big", MJ sighed, seeing a bench and heading for it.

"Ah come on MJ, we still have 1 more floor, there has to be someplace we can get you some decent Goth.-like clothes", Sam said, sitting next to MJ on the bench.

"Why am I even bothering, I may be an actress, but there's no way I can pull this off", MJ said to noone really.

"Yes there is, you saw the way you looked in that wig, that was totally Goth. and if you are willing to do that, than I'm sure you can do the rest", Sam told her friend, putting her hand on MJ's shoulder.

"Yeah, you're right, let's find that store and do some shopping!", MJ said triumphantly as she got up.

That's the MJ I know!; Sam thought as she got up and followed MJ.

"Owwww!", Tucker screamed as he was yanked out of the back seat of Harry's car and thrown against the wall of a brick building somewhere near the edge of town.

"Ah shut up already kid", Harry said evilly as he opened up his trunk and rummaged around until he found some rope and went over to where Tucker lay in pain

Wrapping the rope around an extremely jerking Tucker, Harry quickly tied Tucker up and kicked open the door of the warehouse like building. It was very dark inside, the only light was coming from a window up at the top of the wall. Harry grabbed Tucker by the collar of his shirt, stuffed a cloth in his mouth and threw him into the room, closing the door as he heard the sound of Tucker hitting the wall and the muffled cry of pain.

He quickly went back to the truck of his car and pulled out the green goblin stuff, putting it on and grabbing the flight pad, he took off with a burst of energy having just done his job.

"One down, 4 to go"

It was getting close to sundown when Danny finally arrived at his destination. He scanned the building looking for what he hoped was Sam's window. He knew that MJ's apartment was on the 5th floor and that there were two others on that floor as well, so he had a one in three chance of finding her place.

He flew up to the windows, and noticed that some had the blinds closed. He knew Sam never closed her curtains or blinds at night, as she was a fan of the nighttime air and such, so he could count those out. That left only two and they were both right next to each other, so he assumed he'd score either way.

He flew up to the first one and peering in he let out a happy sigh.

There was Sam, laying on her bed with her feet propped on the pillow and her hands under her head. She was smiling at the ceiling. Danny hated to make her stop, she looked so beautiful that way, but this was important. Making a fist, he quietly knocked on her window.

Looking startled, Sam quickly turned around to see Danny floating outside her window. She got up and went over to it to let him in.

"What are you doing here?", She asked confused.

"Long story, I'll explain if you let me in", He told her.

"Fine", was all he got out of her as she opened the window and let him in. She then went back over to her bed and sat down gesturing for him to do the same. In doing so he felt the very squishy mattress as he turned to Sam to begin his explanation. But before he could do so he was interrupted by MJ coming in to Sam's room.

"Hey Sam what do you...oh hi Danny what are you doing here?", She said curiously.

Danny had a look of utter shock on his face for more than one reason. First of all, he was in ghost mode still, and yet she had managed to not freak out or anything, and knew who he was. Second of all, she did not in the least look like the Mary Jane he knew.

Her hair was midnight black, with a few dark blue streaks here and there. She as warring a black t-shirt with a Purple design on the front and down the sleeved, which were ripped in a few places on purpose. Her skirt was also black with a purple fishnet trim at the bottom and she was wearing boots similar to Sam's'. To top it off she had lavender eyeliner and deep purple lipstick on and her nails were painted that color as well.

Ignoring the whole thing about her knowing who he was, he plunged right in. "So it finally rubbed off on you huh?", he asked her in somewhat shock.

"What?", MJ looked confused than realized he meant her 'outfit', "Nah, it's for a play that's all, although I will admit the black does bring out my eyes"

"Yeah well anyways, what did you want to know MJ?", Sam asked her friend.

"Oh, I just wanted to know what you thought of all this", MJ said, gesturing to her clothes and whatnot.

"Oh well I think it looks really great on you", Sam said truthfully.

"Ok and since you're here Danny, what do you think?", MJ asked him.

Looking surprised he simply answered the truth, may be a little to much. "Wow well you look astounding, black and purple are definitely you're colors that's for sure"

"Thanks guys", MJ said, than added, "Hey Danny, don't stay too late, Sam and me have a lot to do tomorrow" She winked as she left the room, but then came back and added one more thing. "Hey Danny"

"What?"

"Don't tell Peter ok?", "I want it to be a surprise."

"Deal"

It had been at least a couple hours, if not more, since Tucker had seen Harry fly off in the Green Goblin stuff through that window. He was worried, very worried, about his friends and their safety.

I have to find a way out of here, Harry could get them at any time!

It was no use though, Tucker's hands were bound behind his back leaving him no way of getting loose, and his mouth was stuffed with a dirty old sock, likely Harry's, leaving no way of calling for help.

Think Tucker think! What do I do now?

"So Peter knows you're secret now, and you just left him ALONE!", Sam asked angrily at Danny. Danny had just explained that previous morning's activities, and was rather taken aback by her sudden outburst.

"Well yeah, I had to get out to think ok?", "That's not even the shocking part, I did some adding and I put two and two together and found out that Peter is Spiderman", he concluded.

"Yeah, ok whatever, but why did you just leave him there alone, he could be plotting something now!", Sam asked, ignoring Danny's previous statement.

"Well...wait, I just said, PETER IS SPIDERMAN", Danny told here again.

"I know already, stop repeating it, there are more important things here you know", Sam said even angrier at Danny's reaction to her concern.

"Wait a second...you knew didn't you?", Danny said glaring at Sam with a hurt look.

"Well I uhhhh...", Sam said, running a hand through her hair.

"You knew and you didn't tell me!", Danny said, outraged.

"Oh fine, I knew, but I was only trying to protect you ok?", Sam said.

"Yeah right...I'll see you later", with that, Danny got up and went over to the still opened window. It may have been close to ten PM, yes they had talked a long time, but he didn't care, he wasn't about to stand for this type of thing.

"Danny wait I..."

Danny turned around and faced her. "You're supposed to be my friend, but if you hide secrets like that, I'm not sure anymore" With that he flew out of the window and out of sight just like he had done that same morning to Peter.

Ahh that was just great, nice going Sam, nice going; Sam thought as she lied back on her bed and sighed. She starred at the ceiling, wondering if she should have told Danny before about Peter, but those thoughts quickly went away as she saw a green gas fill her room before she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Peter was sitting at the table in his apartment, thinking about that morning for the 100th time that day.

I should of told him, I really should of, now he's somewhere out there and he probably won't come back

"Do you blame him, if it were me, I'd be ferious", Peter said to himself, yawing at the same time.

If he's not back by morning, I'll go look for him and set things straight.

Danny was sick of everyone knowing things except him. Peter, MJ, Sam, and likely Tucker were all guilty of what he considered a crime. He felt like he no longer had anyone to turn to at all.

He was alone, and everywhere he turned it hit him in the face. In one direction there was Peter, supposed to be his friend, or at least mentor on this trip, who had lied to him from the day they had met. In the other direction there was Sam, who it turned out, knew about Peter for quite some time, but hadn't bothered to mention that tiny little piece of information to Danny. And in the third direction there was Harry and Vlad. Harry had turned on everyone with Vlad's help. It wasn't like Danny had any real relationships with him anyways, but still it brought an empty feeling to him every time he thought about it. And as for Tucker, well Danny knew he fit somewhere in that circle of lies, he just wasn't sure where.

Danny kept on flying, not really sure as to where he was headed or what he was supposed to do now that the world had crashed down on him, but he knew he couldn't go back to Peter's place. He had decided that a few hours ago, or so it seemed as he didn't really know what time it was. He did know though that he had to find a place to sleep or at least rest.

My life is officially over; He thought as he flew over the city. No one left to turn to, no where to go, why me? Danny knew deep down in his heart there was still hope, but as of right now, it wasn't showing it's face anywhere near his doorway.

He heard a clock chime near by and turned around to see a big, lit up clock building shining in the distance, and it read 1 AM.

Wow, 1 AM, is it really THAT late, I gotta find a place to sleep; He thought and in doing so let out a yawn. He flew around for a little bit longer before he finally found a nice, tall building with a nice, private doorway sticking up out of the top that he could sleep behind. Landing on the building, he got lost in his thoughts as he slowly slipped into a silent sleep.

Sam awoke from her deep sleep suddenly as she felt her body hit a very hard wall. She heard another thump and looked over to see MJ, back to her normal red headed self but still in the black clothes, lying there next to her.

Sam tried to scream but realized she couldn't because she had a very stinky old sock stuffed in her mouth. Her arms were also tied behind her back with a very thick and coarse rope that was cutting into her skin. She felt pain all over from her collision with the wall, but that didn't matter right now, all that did was where they were and what was going on.

She looked up and saw Harry hovering on the flight pad above her. He was in the Green Goblin outfit, but he didn't have the mask on. The look in his eyes was deadly, in fact it could probably kill you if you looked in them for a long period of time. Floating next to him was none other than Vlad Plasmius who also had a very evil look in his eyes, accompanied by an evil grin. As he heard Sam's quiet (due to the sock) but painful groan, he turned to her and began to talk.

"Well, well, well, I see someone is up", He said with another evil smile. Sam just glared back, not able to say anything. "Well since you aren't going to answer, we'll see how you like this", Vlad said seeing Sam's glare. He put his arm out and sent a pink beam right at her chest, hitting her square in the stomach, causing her to hit the ground and roll around in pain.

"Now where were we?", Vlad said, turning back to Harry to continue a conversation they were obviously having before the incident with Sam. "Oh yes, the ransom, what should we make them do then?"

"Oh I got a few ideas boss, trust me", Harry replied in a very evil tone.

"Why wouldn't I, after all you are being controlled by me anyways", Vlad answered, "Do what you have to do, just don't actually harm them, that's my job"

With that, Harry went speeding off through the open window at the top of the wall and out of site.

"Yes, do what you have to do indeed, for soon you will be mine as well and then Oscorp and you're fortune will belong to me!", Vlad said to himself quietly, not realizing that Tucker, who was against the wall on the other side of MJ, had heard the whole thing.

It was the next morning, Friday to be exact, and when Peter's alarm clock went off, he rose suddenly from his bed remembering the previous day. He got up and the first thing he did was check Danny's room. Nope, no one was there which meant he was going to have to go find Danny. He went to his apartment room and dialed MJ's number, but no one answered.

That's strange, she's always around this early.

He was about to dial Harry's place when he heard a thud at his door. He went over to the door and opened it. There was no one there, which meant it was mail call. His mail was always delivered by his landlord in the mornings, and it was usually just left by his door, although it usually didn't make a thudding noise. He looked down and saw to his surprise, a video tape. He picked it up and went inside.

A/N ok guys, this chapter was very hard to write, seriously! I didn't know where to go emotion wise or what to do with Tucker and them. But I think it turned out pretty good. That's all I have to say, so please leave reviews!
