I'm Back! Sorry this took so long, there was no computer in the vicinity until recently... Enjoy!


Jack grinned to himself at his clever trick as he walked once again to the crowded streets of New York. And if the tentacle guy did find him he would be ready. You know, an arsenal of weapons to keep even the Incredible Hulk at bay. As he passed a McDonalds store he realised that he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday lunch. He checked his pockets, trying to find his wallet. His eyes widened as his eyes groped on nothing but lint and the Mantis Flip Coin. Octavius must have taken it. He cursed himself, punching a nearby lamppost. It was a bad idea since he may have not broken his wrist he had sprained it quite badly.

"First things first." he mumbled, heading towards the pharmacy.


Doctor Octavius crept around the city, hiding in the shadows it provided and careful to steer clear of the crime spots that happened frequently over the city. Chances are that if there is crime, there is Spiderman. Damn the stupid spider/man thingie.

We should not be going after Jack Spicer.

Doctor Octavius flinched as he heard the smart arms combined voices in his heads again.

If we don't catch him, he might alert the police of our cover

Octavius dropped to the ground and peeked around the corner, checking the amount of citizens in the area.

The police and Spiderman will be alerted soon enough to our actions. We have killed people in the past.

Killing people has never solved anything

It spreads fear Father. It is what you want to achieve.

Just be quiet

The arms ceased to talk. Octavius nodded in approval, before ordering them to hide underneath his long coat. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a rather crumpled hat. He fixed it and placed it on his head. He walked out of the shadows and into the street. No one noticed him, thinking him as another homeless that roamed the streets in search for food and money. Octavius's eyes darted around, looking for a certain redheaded boy. He eyed the pharmacy with suspicion and he was proven right. Out of the pharmacy, stumbled Jack, wearing some gauze over his wrist. He seemed worried and nervous. Suddenly another man exited the pharmacy, waving a baseball bat and yelling at Jack, which had bolted like a rabbit.

"Get him!!!! HE STOLE FROM ME!!!!" yelled the pharmacist, throwing his bat on the ground with exasperation before stamping on it repeatedly as if that was going to bring back Jack and the stolen gauze. Octavius followed after Jack with as much speed as he could do, making sure that his coat didn't reveal his hidden tentacles. Jack turned the corner and slumped down, taking deep breaths. Octavius smiled to himself and started approaching Jack.

Father there is something we must tell you.

What? growled Octavius, as he waited at the traffic lights. An old lady next to him glared at him for so rudely coming out of nowhere and stands right next to her, entering her personal space.

As you know, Jack has hurt his wrist. It seems you too have hurt your wrist, for reasons unknown. We have blocked out the pain so you may not feel it but nevertheless it is there.

Octavius frowned at this. Where had this come from? Maybe from that strange game they had played. Since no one had won, it somehow meant that they should both be slaves and masters. Oh shit...

"Jack!" yelled Octavius from across the road. Jack looked up and first arched an eyebrow before realising whom this man was. He quickly stood but before he could start running again, Octavius had grabbed his arm, quite swiftly despite the fact that the man was hauling around the city four, metal arms attached to his back whilst trying to hide them underneath his coat without looking suspicious.

"Hehe... Um, yea, if you're worried about me going to the hospital I was going there right now! I was just taking a tour of the city first!" explained Jack, twiddling his thumbs in agitation.

"Cut the crap! Something has happened after we finished playing that game of yours." Octavius hissed. One of the smart arms came out from under the coat and pressed the metal dagger against Jack's back. He forced him to walk towards the warehouse area as he explained the situation.

"But we got a draw! Nothing should've happened!" protested Jack.

"Well it seems it has! Your wrist is hurting right?"

Jack nodded his head slowly, trying to think ahead of Octavius. His eyes widened as the realisation dawned on him.

"Your wrist is hurting too?!" he said, his voice slightly squeaky. Octavius nodded his head as the pair navigated through a particular thick section of the crowd.

"So we are living voodoo dolls to each other?" asked Jack again. Octavius sighed with exasperation and nodded. Jack looked at him before pinching his arm hard. It got a small yelp from Octavius "Cool..." muttered Jack.

"No, not cool! You are vulnerable and even here in New York, even babies have guns!" snarled Octavius. He seemed to be about to say something else when one of the buildings on the opposite side of the road exploded. A mad cackle was heard and there, flying on a metallic glider was a man dressed in a green, armoured suit, wearing a mask with amber eyes, and a open mouth showing sharp teeth. He threw his head back letting out another laugh.

"Guess who's back?!" screeched the man in the green suit. Jack felt Octavius tense up behind him before he was forced to turn around.

"Listen to me carefully or both our lives will be on line. I will let you go but you must go back to the warehouse!" whispered Octavius hurriedly in Jack's ear. He let go of his arm, the first mistake in many. Jack started running and before he knew it he was hit in the head and dangled upside down again.

"WTF?!" he yelled and directed his head to the captor. It turned out it was that weirdo with the green mask.

"Tut, tut. Mind your manners." said "Green Mask", gleefully.

"Screw my manners, PUT ME DOWN!" Jack yelled again.

"Are you sure?" asked "Green Mask". There was a touch of spite in his voice but that was pretty much clouded by the sinister in it.

"No wait! The view is starting to look good from here!" squealed Jack, hugging on Green Mask's leg, his only support. Below, Octavius was shaking his head with embarrassment.

"Let him go Green Goblin!!!"

All heads turned as another man, wearing red and blue tights. A mask with two white, oval eyes covered his face.

"Oh but Spidey! If I let him go he might hit the pavement and go Ker-splat! And I'm sure the boy wouldn't like that! Besides, he says he's enjoying the view."

"No really, I can see Lady Liberty from here." commented Jack. The Green Goblin cackled and started to fly away from Spiderman very slowly.

"Try to stop me and the boy will die..." the Green Goblin said cruelly. He neared the top of a building and placed an orange, pumpkin bomb on top. The bomb attached itself to the building. Jack heard his captor snigger before moving off to another building. Below, the citizens stayed frigid in fear. Only Octavius moved, trying to always stay directly underneath Jack. Spiderman stayed still too, knowing that one move could set Jack tumbling to the ground, where his head could crack open like an Easter egg. Soon, the Green Goblin had placed all five of his bombs around the area, which would cause the most destruction and death. And the whole, entire time, Jack was asking questions about the glider.

"How fast can it go?"

"The fastest I've taken it is 250 mph but I'm sure it goes faster."

"Neat. Birthday present?"

"Nah, handed down from father to son."

"Excuse me, but can you please kill him?! He stole my gauze!!!" yelled the pharmacist from below.

"Tut, tut boy! You steal as well? You deserve to be punished!" the Green Goblin said, waving a finger side to side, like Jack had become a naughty child. And just like that he let go of his captive.

"No!" yelled Spiderman, snapping his wrist to let out his webbing. The stream of web just missed Jack by a few hairs, leaving the Goth to plummet downwards. Suddenly, screams were heard as a smart arm revealed itself from underneath Octavius's coat and caught Jack when his face was two centimetres from the ground.

"Took your time!" complained Jack. Octavius shot him a glare before looking at the dumbstruck super hero, super villain and citizens around him.

"Yes I'm back from the dead. Now close your mouths, you might catch flies." sighed Octavius, placing Jack on the ground. Finally, the crowd shook off their frozen positions and ran, making a herd of buffaloes appear heavily sedated. Eventually, Jack, Octavius, Spiderman and the Green Goblin were the only ones left. There was the little old lady that had waited with Octavius at the traffic lights but she was partially blind so didn't see the immediate danger. In fact she was still waiting at the traffic lights.

"Well it seems that this will be a real party bash!" screeched the Goblin.

"I see you've placed emphasis on bash." commented Octavius. The Green Goblin tilted his head in amusement.

"Sorry to interrupt this strange reunion but you are both going to the police!" said Spiderman, his webbing flying out of his wrists. Both villains leapt out of the way, letting the web hit the ground harmlessly. The Green Goblin flew upwards and thankfully had taken all of Spiderman's attention. Octavius took this as his chance to escape. Grabbing Jack once again, he sped away to the warehouse.

"Doc! Go faster! The green guy is coming!" yelled Jack. It seemed that the Green Goblin's attention was on them after spending three seconds on Spiderman. He cackled loudly and threw more bombs. Spiderman was too busy trying to deactivate the other five bombs to help them. Octavius gulped and moved faster along the building walls, jumping from place to place, all the while trying to avoid the bombs. As luck would have it, Octavius dropped to the ground once again on the spot where the pharmacist had come out of his shop with the baseball bat that still lay on the ground. Jack picked it up as the pair passed it, before waving it around like a batsman.

"Keep running! I'll deflect the bombs!" reassured Jack. He heard Octavius say 'yea right' but ignored it.

"That won't save you!" taunted the Green Goblin. He was soon proven mighty wrong when Jack managed to hit one of the bombs with a mighty whack. The bomb came straight back to the Green Goblin, exploding on contact with the green armour.

"Nice shot." commented Octavius.

"Thanks." smiled Jack. Octavius felt the boy tense up then heard his yells.

"Spiderman is coming!"

Octavius swore and took a left detour heading towards the city's power supply.

"You're going the wrong way! You must turn right to go to the warehouse!"

"He'll then know where we live." answered Octavius. Jack mouthed an oh and swung his bat again, trying to hit Spiderman's little makeshift web bombs. They simply stuck to the wood.

"Hurry! I can't deflect anymore!" shouted Jack. He tried prying the stuff of but the things held fast. He heard Octavius swear again. Couldn't blame him, they had arrived at a dead end. Their only escape, going through the power station's iron gates. They both looked back, Spiderman's figure approaching quickly, springing from building to building. Having no choice but to proceed, Octavius's upper left smart arm grabbed the rusty, iron gates and tore them out of their hinges. Throwing them at Spiderman (which he easily dodged) Jack and Octavius ran into the building.
