Me: I always read the reviews and pay heed to you guys. Advice is always more than welcome and it helps me a lot. Yes, Spidey's humor was overdue but because he was depressed so that is why I kept it in the cupboard for a long while. Thank u so much for reading!

7. Blind Butterfly

Mary Jane and Harry had spent a whole morning doing things around town for Christmas. Young Osborne was hoping to have a romantic moment with his girlfriend but MJ had other plans. She wanted to spend the winter with her two best friends, despite Peter's gloom attitude, and that meant preparing the best New Year's Eve of the decade. The red-haired dragged the young man across the city all morning and around midday; they stopped at 10th Avenue for a drink.

"MJ, you surely know how to call the shoots" Harry was winded up.

"I want the best party ever for this year and if we want Peter to come, it has to be perfect" she had a whole list in mind.

"You know he's not in the mood for parties, right?"

"Harry, please. Peter loved Gwen. He's been feeling guilty since day one"

"Everybody knows it was Spiderman's fault" grumbled young Osborne.

"Was not. It was the Green Goblin's fault and you know it" MJ frowned.

"Mary, why won't you face the music?"

"Why won't you? A freak in green kills one of our best friends, your father had something to do with it, Peter's devastated and all you do is blame Spiderman. Harry, listen to what you're saying! You dated Gwen, remember? You loved her once, how can you act so cold?"

"I'm sorry, Red. It's just that… This is been a tough year for all of us. I wish I knew what to do"

"Me too. How about we invite Peter for lunch? At least, for starters"

"Sounds great" they agreed. A loud explosion rocked the place and a large column of smoke appeared near the docks. "Oh, shi… That comes from Chelsea Piers!" Harry got up.

"Do you think something exploded?"

"I'm not sure" they walked up the street till they reached the mall where people were gathering in a panic haze, far from the explosion but not enough to feel safe. A group of cops had been able to draw them back but MJ could tell that if reinforcements didn't come quick enough, things would get out of hand. The red-haired looked around, reflexively looking for Peter among the crowd, while Harry held her in place. A black-skinned police officer appeared through the corner and walked to the pair to see if they were all right.

"You guys ok?" the man was carrying a long sports bag.

"Yeah, we're fine. What's going on, agent?"

"Some gas leak in an old building. Nothing to be worried about. You and your girl should stay behind the lines until we're good" the cop smiled. MJ was about to say something when she saw a dark figure jumping across the roofs in a very familiar way… Spidey?

"Uh, officer?" muttered the young woman.

"Yes, ma'am?" the policeman turned.

"Uh, I think I just saw someone heading that way" MJ pointed at the smoke column. "I dunno who it was but it looked like Spiderman"

"MJ, what?" Harry was beside himself.

"You sure?" the cop blinked.

"Yeah!" she was sure. If it was her dear wall-crawler then maybe things would start looking up.

"Ok, I'll notice right away. Just stay safe until I get back, ok? HQ? This is agent Kowalski. We got a ten-fourteen. I repeat. We got a ten-fourteen in the area" he drew a small gun from his holster.

"Kowalski, HQ here. Proceed with caution" the officer headed for the barrier and went across. He had just seen Delson's agent, Judy Parker, talking to his partners but that didn't bother him. He had to make sure that the Spider was ok and if someone had waltz in, it was not going to be easy. The area was quite clear; thank goodness, so it didn't take him long to reach the torn-down building. Dr. Plague was making sure that the hero wasn't dead when Kowalski arrived at the scene.

"HQ? I'm at the scene. We're clear" the officer talked through the communicator on his shoulder.

"That's great news, Amos. Just check on our little bug and see that the police do not get in our business" Kumo spoke through the talker.

"Aye" the dark man kneeled near the superhero and felt his pulse. Peter was still alive, a little drugged, but good. "There was no need for barbiturics, doc. How many times do I have to tell you? The kid was probably dizzy from the blast"

"You do it next time" grumbled Plague.

"Whatever! Did you saw someone jumping the roofs?"

"The fake spider just passed by but didn't saw us" the doctor pointed at the end of the street. "There's a limo there and she went to see its passengers. She'll be gone in a minute"

"If you say so. Where's Red?"

"Safe and sound and on her merry way to base" Plague shrugged while laying the young man on the ground. Amos sighed. The poor boy had his suit in tatters and was bleeding like a pig.

"Dude, next time… Use something softer, ok? We are no longer in the Nazi camps. No need for Hydrogen cyanide or big fireworks, ok? Just play cool" Kowalski took off his coat and put it on Spiderman. Plague rolled his eyes and disappeared through the smoke. A few minutes later, Peter was able to blink and groan.

"Wha, what happened?"

"You got yourself shaken like a mojito, that's what happened. You ok, spider?"

"Give me a minute to find my spleen and we're good"

"(Smile) I missed you around, web-head. Good to have you back" Kowalski smiled. "But right now, I think I'll just take you out of here, hu?"

"There was a little girl just now" muttered Peter.

"I checked. You are all alone, though guy. No one else was injured" the officer carried him to the barrier. "Can you walk?"

"Yeah" Spidey limped a little. He could hear Ellison calling through the radio. "Do you think I could ask for a vacation after this?"

"I can invite you to a drink, if that's ok"

"Sounds great" the hero leaned on a wall. "I'm here, Delson"

"Thank God! I thought…Are you all right? Who's with you?" spoke the man.

"A police officer" Peter felt incapable of staying awake.

"That's great. Find Judy and…"

"I'm not in the mood, Delson. You lied to me"

"Wait, what?" the deputy held his breath.

"Alice's not dead! It's Red! Alice is Red! I saw her!" barked Peter and Elliot rubbed his eyes.

"Peter, please, you are getting it all wrong!"

"Don't tell me what I do wrong! You knew it all along! You got no right to… All you did was sent me here to cover your tracks" Spidey almost felt down. "You know what? Yes, you know what? Forget it! I'm out!" he pulled the communicator off. Amos picked it up and walked back to the boy. "I'm so tired… This was a bad idea. A terrible idea from the start" Peter wanted to tear the mask apart.

"Hey! Hey, Spider! How about we call it a day and talk to the pillow, hu? You must be exhausted, man. Here, let me take you" Amos carried him to the barrier where all the people were waiting. It took seconds for people to notice the arrival of Spiderman and start making photos and less than a minute for MJ to run to the side of her hero. Kowalski put him in his car while Mary Jane tried to talk to Peter.

"Spidey, is that you? Spiderman, please! Talk to me"

"MJ?" Peter hardly mumbled before fainting.

"Spidey!" she begged but Amos had no time for that. The boy needed time to heal. "Don't take him away, please! I need to talk to him"

"And he needs a doctor. I'm sorry, miss, but I must take him to hospital. He's in a good hands, I promise" Kowalski opened the driver's door and Harry held the girl back as they watch the vehicle drive away. Amos knew where Peter's home was but he made a pit stop first. He put Peter in the caring hands of one of his associates, who cleaned the boy and made sure that he was going to see another day, before heading into Queens. It took him two minutes to find the Parker's house and three hours to explain Aunt May what had happened but in the end, Peter was asleep in his bed and all fixed up. Amos knew that the boy would have to speak to Elliot, whether he wanted or not, but there was plenty of time to do that.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ben Urich carefully tiptoed through the wreck, not knowing what he was going to find. He had went into Hell's kitchen to check on Matt and Foggy, almost getting caught up in the explosion but luck was on his side or so he thought. His eyes were stinging with the smoke and he could hardly hear the bells ringing in the distance. Still, he walked on until he found himself before the destroyed limo and saw in relief that the driver had been safely put against a wall along with the passenger. But Ben's intuition was still on edge and it proved to be true when he noticed a trail of broken glass and blood on the floor. Something or someone big had been dragged from that place but who could have done that and who was that second passenger?

A high-pitched and distorted cackle captured the journalist's attention. There was kid sitting on top of the debris. Ben was about to walk to him when the smoke revealed something pretty unpleasant. The child was wearing a wolf mask that was missing an eye and seemed delighted by the destruction around him.

"Little Urich lost his way… Looking for a black spider, the wolf caught up his way… Little did he knew… That the Devil has many disguises… And if the bad deed isn't undone soon… Wolf shall eat… Wolf will kill them all… Starting with little Ben" the child spoke and let out that devilish laughter. Urich froze. The boy spoke but it came out as if thousands were speaking at the same time. "Run now, little Ben… Or the Wolf shall have you for dinner!" a terrible bark was heard and Urich felt on the ground. When he looked again, the boy was gone but there was a figure in red in his place. Ben was still trembling but the stranger didn't move. Urich noticed than it was a little girl and it was wearing heavy shackles. The journalist blinked but she was still there and walking at a slow pace.

"Hey, wait!" Ben got up and she turned round. "Where are you going?" the girl didn't answer and kept on walking. Seeing that the only way to find out was following her, Urich walked after her, not seeing Doctor Plague on his way nor the police forces or the wolf-masked boy who was watching from the roofs.

"I spy with my little eye something starting with T" he looked in the direction where the second passenger had disappeared. "Can you guess what it is, little Willy? You better hurry because the bad elf is going your way. And he has something terrible in store for you… But nothing as bad as what Big Bad has saved for you naughty children" the terrible leader of the Rose took of his mask and laughed.

Finally, moving on!
