Hi again! This chapter sees another Spidey villain capable of redemption and Spidey and Sable continue to bond.
Hope you all like this one!
Cabrera1234: Yes, to all of your questions!
Megabluex: Thanks! And they're clearly working well together as a team at least.
"Did you hear Kingsley is blaming the evidence we found in his factory last night on some twin brother?!" Peter screamed out frustrated another bad guy will still be on the loose to Silver Sable on a rooftop.
"Right. That doesn't surprise me. We'll just have to keep it up and catch him again in the act. Besides, without his brother around now, who will he blame it on this time?" Sable said optimistically.
"Guess so. You think Cat will be okay?" Peter asked concerned about her despite how tense things were between them.
"Yes, just she needs time." Sable said to Peter who agreed.
"You're right. Who knows, maybe she'll come around too just like you?" Peter asked with a smile beneath his mask.
"I hope so. That life isn't worth it. I know better than most." Sable said with regret in her voice.
"But not anymore." Peter said to thankful Silver Sable.
"Thank you." Sable said with a small smile.
"Sure! I'll see you soon!" Peter said as he swung away.
"You betcha!" Sable exclaimed feeling better once again from Peter's kind and nice words.
"Sorry, I'm late, MJ!" Peter said coming into the coffee shop to see Mary Jane.
"No worries, Tiger! I know you're "busy" on important stuff." Mary Jane said with a smirk almost like she knew his secret.
"Oh that's right! How about I get us some coffee?" Peter asked hoping she didn't know he was Spider-Man.
"Sounds good!" Mary Jane said to Peter.
"Well, well, well. How you been, Pete? I see you moved on to another one now." Harry said mockingly while looking at Mary Jane who in turn gave him a death stare.
"What do you want, Harry?" Peter asked both annoyed and concerned for his old friend.
"What I want?! I want my dad back! I want Gwen to be fully loyal to me!" Harry screamed out in rage to Peter.
"I'm sorry, Harry." Peter said feeling sadness for Harry's situation.
"Sorry?! You always get everything while I get nothing!" Harry screamed out in anger. "And you, you think things will last between you and Pete?" Harry asked sarcastically to Mary Jane.
"He's twice the man you'll ever be." Mary Jane said looking at Harry with disgust.
"We'll see about that." Harry said looking at Peter with hatred and then leaving the coffee shop.
"I'm sorry about that! You should have never been caught between me and Harry's issues." Peter said apologizing to Mary Jane.
"It's okay, Tiger. He seems to me to be just a massive jerk." Mary Jane said with a smirk.
"Right, you still want coffee?" Peter asked hoping to get things back on track with her now.
"You know it!" Mary Jane exclaimed.
"Yes, sir. The experiments are proceeding as scheduled." Miles Warren said concluding his phone call with his mysterious boss.
"Are we doing this or not?!" Morris Bench asked while hooked up to a machine in Miles' lab. He needed lots of money and agreed to be a part of Mr. Warren's experiments in exchange for a hefty sum of money.
"Yes, here we go." Miles said as he activated the machine.
"Well, that wasn't too bad!" Peter said patrolling the city after getting coffee with Mary Jane. "Besides Harry's outburst, of course." Peter said still feeling pity for Harry. "Wait, is that water in the middle of the road down there?" Peter asked confused at the sight of this large puddle of water he saw from a distance. "Now what is this?" Peter asked while walking through the water puddle.
"Me!" Said the Morris as he transformed into a humanoid figure and punched Peter across the street.
"What are you?!" Peter asked freaking out about this water man.
"Call me, Hyrdo-Man!" Hydro-Man said as he ran over to fight Peter.
"Hey, Spidey already has an element figure he fights, and that's me!" Flint said as he came and punched Hyrdo-Man.
"Marko?!" Peter asked shocked since he thought Marko died saving those people from that oil tanker.
"Yep, it's me, Spidey." Flint said helping Peter up.
"Wow, and you're not trying to fight me?" Peter asked also surprised Flint was trying to attack like always.
"Not right now." Flint said sarcastically. "But seriously, after those people almost died because of me on that oil tanker, it…it made me realize I had gone too far. Like I didn't even become a criminal in the first place to just to steal, it was actually because…." Flint started to tell Peter something before Hyrdo-Man regained his humanoid form.
"He's here!" Hyrdo-Man screamed out to his allies in the shadows.
"Right on time." Mysterio said coming out of an alley way with Kraven.
"Oh great…." Peter said annoyed Mysterio and Kraven always showed up at times like this when he was learning not all of his enemies were all that bad.
"This is almost too easy." Kraven said with an evil smile.
"Indeed!" Mysterio said he used illusions to distort Marko while Peter fought Hydro-Man and Kraven.
"I got both your backs." Sable said coming in and blasting all three of them.
"Great timing, Sable!" Peter said as he rushed over started fighting Kraven.
"Happy to help, but who is this water guy?" Sable asked sarcastically which enraged Hyrdo-Man.
"Just some punk." Flint said as he came over and started attacking Hydro-Man.
"Enough! The work is done! Let's go!" Mysterio ordered out as he teleported away, Kraven jumped away, and Hydro-Man disappeared into the sewers.
"Thanks for the help, Sable." Peter said to Sable still getting used to working with others that actually cared about her.
"Of course, but is he okay?" Sable asked while looking at Flint who was all silent at the moment after Mysterio's illusions showed him his sick daughter Penny and how he promised himself he would steal enough money for her treatments.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Didn't know Spidey had friends now?" Flint asked with a smirk.
"Learn something new every day. Just like with you." Peter said to Flint who gave a small smile.
"He's right. I can tell you're not the same as you were, just like me." Sable sympathetically said to Flint who was thinking.
"Maybe. What are you guys up to anyway?" Flint asked curious about what was going on.
"Trying to stop another Goblin guy on the loose. We could use some help." Peter said to Flint who would normally laugh at something like this, but he was thinking about their offer.
"Yeah, I might. I am trying to turn over a new leaf, so I'll see you guys soon." Flint said as he turned to sand and flew away.
"Wow, at this rate, I might be able to reform even Tombstone." Peter said sarcastically.
"I wouldn't hold your breath." Sable said with a small laugh. He's another one she hopes to take down as well.
"Eh, maybe not. But at least you came around. And Cat and Marko are on their way too. Things are looking up." Peter said hopeful Cat and Marko will be able to fully switch sides like Sable did.
"We'll help them the same way you've helped me." Sable said very glad Peter has helped her see a better path to follow.
"And the way you've helped me! The more people helping me keep everyone safe, the better!" Peter said liking more and more of his villains switching sides.
"It is much more fulfilling than what I was doing, after all." Sable said while staring at the ground still feeling guilt about all the people she hurt while being her father's weapon.
Peter saw she was feeling down and walked over and placed his on her right shoulder and said, "Look, no one is perfect. I'm clearly not and have made my own share of mistakes. But like a wise man I once knew taught me said; with great power comes great responsibility."
Sable felt a little better after hearing that and that sounded like something she should have heard years ago.
"Anyways, gotta go for now! See you soon!" Peter said as he was preparing to leave.
"See you! And thank you." Sable said a little teary eyed while Peter nodded in reply.
"And so the last one's mind has been affected. Good. Soon I'll be back to take care of Spider-Man and his little friends." Norman Osborn said with an evil smile while reading his latest encrypted report from his "associates" in New York.
Hope everyone liked that!
