When Spider-Man came to, he saw Mary Jane standing over him.

"MJ." he said.

"How do you feel?" said MJ.
"Like I've been hit by a truck, repeatedly, and stood at ground zero of a plane crash, and-"

"I get it, you're not feeling great."

"How's Sarah?"

"She's stable, but we won't know for sure for a few hours."

"Good."

"I also saw a paparazzo try to get in and get a pic of you without your mask."

"Where is she now?"

"In recovery. Big feet, food cart, clumsy me, oopsie." Spider-Man managed to laugh.

"Wait," said Spider-Man, "you said the press was here, right?"

"Yeah." said MJ, "Why?"

"Is this on TV yet?"

"I think so, why?"

"Oh no." Suddenly Spider-Man's spider-sense went off. He looked out the window and saw a figure like the Green Goblin, but with grey instead of green and blue instead of purple, and riding a reddish robot bat with green eyes. It flew straight through

the window and grabbed Spider-Man by the neck, his diamond claws digging into his skin, and flew off.

Mary Jane went around looking for help when he heard someone else calling for help. When she arrived, she found a nurse over a dead guard.

"What happened?" said MJ.

"Someone killed the guard." said the nurse, "And the girl, the girl Spider-Man was helping, she's gone!"

Spider-Man was still weak from the transfusion, but at least he was conscious, unlike Sarah, who'd also been kidnapped from the hospital. He needed to figure out a way to get the new Grey Goblin off of him without hurting him or Sarah. Luckily they were flying by a radio broadcast tower. Spider-Man shot a web at it and held on for dear life, which was difficult for him due to his blood loss. The resulting momentum caused the Goblin to lose his grip without losing control of the bat. But Spider-Man didn't fare much better, for he dislocated his shoulder when he landed. He had hardly enough time to get his bearings when the Grey Goblin sicced the razor bats on him. Spider-Man dodged all but one, which cut his leg. He was helpless. He couldn't move, he could barely see, but he knew that the Goblin was closing in for the kill. Suddenly Sarah regained consciousness and stood up.

"You're pathetic," said the Goblin in a voice that unmistakably was that of Gabriel Stacy, despite the slightly higher pitch, "almost not worth killing, but we always finish what we start, right Sarah?" Sarah did not respond, "I have something amazing to show you, Sarah, finish the job and I can show it to you."

"You're more blind than Daredevil," said Sarah, "can't you see he saved me? He's innocent."

"He's not innocent, Sarah, he tainted your blood with his own. No one is innocent, not him, and if you're taking his side in this, against your own flesh and blood, not even you." He fired missiles at his sister, however she managed to dodge him. She drew her gun.

"Where did you get that?" said Gabriel.

"I nabbed it from the guard you killed." said Sarah. She fired off each and every round from the gun, eventually hitting one of the bat's 'veins'. It started leaking a dark red fluid, presumably hydraulic fluid, and spiraling out of control before finally crashing in the Hudson River. Sarah dropped her gun.

"Sarah..." said Spider-Man.

"I shot him." she said, "I shot my brother."

"No, you shot his glider. And you did what you had to do, it wasn't even him anymore." Sarah wasn't listening and she walked down a flight of subway stairs.

"Sarah, wait!" Suddenly Spider-Man passed out.
