Hello again! Just finished re watching the awesome Spectacular Spider-Man show again, and I had this idea based off story lines we would have seen in season 3 that involves the Hobgoblin and Silver Sable turning good.
In this one shot, Spidey and Sable team up to battle Hobgoblin and she shows signs of reforming. And I love villain redemptions, which is another reason why I wrote this.
Hope you all like it!
"Everything's just great." Peter said to himself disappointed and upset while out on patrol as Spider-Man in the city. Two weeks ago he finally beat the Green Goblin, but it turned out Norman Osborn was the face behind the mask. Didn't matter now since he blew up in his own pumpkin bomb water tower, but he couldn't help but feel guilt leaving Harry without a father even though he would never get Gwen now.
But now he had to try to put that behind him and move on. His powers were a gift and he wasn't going to let them go to waste moping around on things not working out the way he wanted when there were lives to save and villains to stop. In fact, he saw a horrifying sight from a distance.
"It can't be!" Peter exclaimed as he saw a goblin looking figure on a glider as he got closer.
"Oh you must be Spider-Man!" The goblin looking figure shouted out in similar, but also different voice from that compared to the Green Goblin. In fact, this goblin's mask was a lighter green and he wore an orange cloak as well making him for sure not the Green Goblin (unless Norman is alive or Harry is under the mask for real this time.).
"You're not Gobby, are you?" Peter sarcastically asked while disguising his panic.
"Oh not the one you know! The Hobgoblin is very different from his Green Goblin cousin!" The Hobgoblin explained to a somewhat relieved, but equally horrified Peter at the thought of another goblin figuring plaguing New York.
"But you'll go down like just like him!" Peter screamed out as he shot webs at the Hobgoblin.
The Hobgoblin threw pumpkin bombs and knives at Peter which he blocked and swung in different directions to avoid his attacks. The fighting style of Hobgoblin was different than Gobby's, so that was another sign it wasn't Norman.
After another minute of fighting, Hobgoblin flew away and Peter chased after him through the city until Hobgoblin managed to knock Peter down on the ground on a building.
"Time for Spider-Man to cancel!" The Hobgoblin mockingly told Peter as he was about to try and kill him.
"Not so fast!" A woman with long silver hair screamed out as she shot the Hobgoblin with her gun, saving Peter's life.
Peter recognized her from last month when he briefly teamed up with Rhino to stop her and Hammerhead from getting the Rhino army specs.
"Oh another friend of the Spider-Man!" The Hobgoblin screamed out laughing sinisterly.
"I don't think she's one of my mine, but I'm glad she showed up when she did." Peter said glad and surprised she saved his life since he assumes her father was Silvermane that he put away a couple of weeks ago.
"Don't get friendly, Spider-Man. I still haven't forgiven you for putting daddy away, but this guy is much worse." Silver Sable said looking at the Hobgoblin in disgust.
"Oh do I know you or something?" The Hobgoblin asked confused.
"You can drop the act, Kingsley." Silver Sable said as Peter remembered that guy as well from that fight with her last month. Doesn't he own a perfume factory or something?
"Oh Hobgoblin wishes you would just shut up!" The Hobgoblin said in frustration over her guessing his identity. "Enough talk! The age of new a goblin is upon us! I can't have you ruining my plans! Time for you both to die!" The Hobgoblin screamed out while throwing pumpkin bombs at Peter and Sable.
Sable shot Hobgobin repeatedly with her gun while Peter shot several webs at him trying to make him lose focus.
"Bah! Hobgoblin will return to finish you pests!" The Hobgoblin mockingly told Peter and Sable as he flew away into the darkness of the night.
"Wow! Thanks for coming in when you did." Peter said to Sable as she was preparing to leave on her helicopter.
"Like I said, don't be getting friendly. I only helped because Kingsley is an enemy and traitor to my father's empire." Silver Sable said to Peter who could tell there was another reason despite what she said and how she acted.
"If you say so." Peter said as he was preparing to leave as well before Sable said something else to him.
"And maybe I want to be more than just a weapon than what he made to be." Silver Sable said with obvious hurt in her eyes remembering how her mother died when she very young and how her father cared more for the "business" than actually being a real father to her.
"Well, I think you are on your way already. Hopefully we can meet again on similar terms? It would be nice to have some help every now and then." Peter said glad to hear another one of his villains wasn't all that bad. Just like Marko and maybe Black Cat (if she would speak to him again that is). Plus it would be nice to have reliable help too since things unfortunately didn't work out well with Jonah's son.
"Hmmm. Maybe with Kingsley we can take him down together since he's an enemy of mine, but we'll see." Silver Sable said feeling deep down she could have a new purpose if she tried the hero thing for a while. Still it was a lot to think about, but being recognized for a change would be nice since her father's barely thanked her for keeping his empire intact while he was in prison.
"Sounds good! Goblin people are a pain, believe me." Peter said hoping Sable meant what she said.
After that they parted ways, but Peter was hopeful things would work out, since there was another Goblin on the loose, and at least he knew the identity of this one. All he to do now was to prove it and have The Bugle run the scoop. And try to stop Jameson from actually praising this Kingsley guy if he found out he was an enemy of Spider-Man.
But as they say, all in a day's work for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!
Hope everyone liked that! Would be so great if Disney could make a deal with Sony so we could get season 3 already.
