Spider-Man swung faster than anyone's ever seen him swing as he made his way to the George Washington Bridge. He was unaware of the police car following him.

"I swore, long ago, that I would never stand up here again." Spider-Man said after arriving on the bridge, "I never wanted to see this view again. But who in this world gets everything they want?" Eventually, Gabriel and Sarah arrived.

"We're here." said Gabriel, "Say what you want to say, but if you try anything-"

"No tricks," said Spider-Man, "just the truth. Let me tell you what I think I know and correct me if I'm wrong. You think I'm your father, that I killed your mother, and that I abandoned you overseas to fend for yourselves. You were given those letters and finally had a name to go with your pain, so you came to destroy my life the way you think I destroyed yours."

"Almost all of that is correct." said Gabriel, "But we don't think those things you said we think, we know. It's the only rational explanation, we're stronger than normal people, we're faster than normal people, and-"

"You're aging faster than normal people, aren't you?" said Spider-Man, "You're aging roughly 2-3 times as fast as a normal person, and it'll kill you in a few more years, the only thing keeping you from dying sooner is your strength."

"Which is the only thing we can thank you for."

"One problem, I'm not your father. That's a man named Norman Osborn. Everything Harry told you about your father is true except for that."

"Harry would never lie to us, he loved us!"

"Was he lying to you about that?"

"STOP LYING! Harry saved us, made a home for us, helped us reach our true potential."

"He was trying to gain your trust."

"Then how do you explain our strength, speed, and rapid aging?"

"Norman was exposed to a special formula that increased his strength, speed and healing ability, but it drove him insane. He became the Green Goblin. Somehow, the healing aspect was mutated when it was passed down to you, becoming an accelerated aging factor. I can help you. Just, trust me."

"I don't trust you."

"I do." said Sarah.

"What?" said Gabriel.

"Think. Remember when he dug up our mother to get a sample of her DNA? Why do that if he could just use his own DNA? He knew there was no way he could be the father." Suddenly Spider-Man heard a police officer yelling through a bullhorn.

"ATTENTION ANONYMOUS PEOPLE ON THE BRIDGE," he said, "YOU ARE ORDERED TO SURRENDER OR WE WILL USE LETHAL FORCE."

"See, Sarah?" said Gabriel, "He called the cops on us!"

"I had nothing to do with that." said Spider-Man, "HEY! BOYS IN BLUE, DIDN'T YOU SEE MY PRESS CONFERENCE? I WANTED THEM HERE SO I COULD TALK TO THEM!" Despite this, Gabriel clung tight to his conclusion and drew his gun. He pulled the trigger, the bullet coming out of the barrel at 886 miles an hour. Spider-Man stood transfixed. Suddenly Sarah jumped in the way, the bullet striking her right in the side. She lay on the ground, weak. She tried getting up, but she kept stumbling, all the way to the edge. Suddenly she fell off. Spider-Man almost shot a web to catch her, but remembered that was what killed Gwen, so instead he jumped off the bridge himself, hoping he can catch up to her and match her velocity. When he did catch up, sure enough, they were falling at the same rate. He grabbed Sarah and shot a web to swing her to safety

"Thanks, Dad." said Sarah.

"We've been over this, Sarah," said Spider-Man, "I'm not your father."

"But I'd have loved you to be." Sarah passed out. Meanwhile, on the top of the bridge, Gabriel ran away.

Gabriel went down a set of subway stairs and through a system of tunnels according to directions given to him as a child by Harry, intended to be followed only after they killed Spider-Man. Eventually he reached his destination. It was an abandoned station, with only two large metal tubes against the wall. He started searched for the button Harry told him to press when he got there. When he found and pushed it, he saw the most horrific sight he could imagine. Part of the tubes rose up, revealing them to contain two goblin costumes, one tube contained a grey costume with blue gloves, tunic, and hat on a male mannequin, and the other tube had a yellowish costume with pink gloves, tunic and hat on a female mannequin. Over at another wall, a large control panel emerged, extending an arm holding a hypodermic syringe and a rack of vials containing a green liquid. Gabriel was horrified to find all the evidence needed to confirm Spider-Man's claim that they were connected to the Green Goblin.
