Disclaimer: It's the end; the second half of the main event. But I can't help but think about where I go from here. I can confirm that I will include a voice cast chapter at the end, but where do I go from here?
Chapter XXIX
Harry was roused from his sleep by a faint sound that seemed to come from the living room of the Osborn penthouse. Rising up, it occurred to Harry that he'd fallen asleep in his old room, and on the floor no less. While the idea seemed embarrassing, Harry set the thought aside and stumbled into the main hall. The entire penthouse was dark. There was no light save for the sudden flashes of lightning from outside, the telltale signs of a coming storm. It made for a descent atmosphere, because Harry felt a pang of trepidation as he approached the staircase. From that vantage point, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It didn't take too long before Harry noticed that one of the screen doors was wide open.
He was sure it was closed the last time he saw it. Curious, Harry came down the staircase and just missed the shadow moving within the shadows by the bookcase. Closing the screen door, Harry suddenly felt like he wasn't alone in the penthouse. The open screen door was a dead giveaway, but only now did Harry start to put the pieces together. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye. Someone, or something, was moving around near the bookcase.
"Is somebody there?" Harry asked, but he received no answer.
Against his better judgment, Harry approached the shadow but kept the intruder in sight for whatever good it did. He took slow, silent steps toward the fireplace, which was cold with no fire burning. Instinctively taking the pitchfork from the stand, Harry continued to move ever closer to the intruder until he was standing right over him. Raising the pitchfork, Harry took his swing. The pitchfork, and Harry's arm, was suddenly grasped by a gloved hand. Harry tried to pull away from intruder, and then his face became pale at the sight of the Green Goblin staring right at him. The Green Goblin swiped the fork away and swung it back, striking Harry across his face and knocking him to the floor.
Harry tried to crawl away while the Green Goblin stalked him, only to collapse and grab his side. Harry felt his face and found he'd been lacerated, but the was a far cry from the mere sight of the Green Goblin in his father's home. The Goblin was struggling to move around with the injury to his side, but he still managed to blurt a low cackle. Harry tried to turn and run, but he was met with the gargoyle motif of the Goblin's glider. How it got behind him so silently was beyond him. The Green Goblin rose up still holding his side but also chuckling when Harry finally stood up to face.
"What… what're you doing here? Where's my father; what've you done with him?" Harry demanded.
The Green Goblin tilted his head to the side and then broke out laughing. He cringed from the pain in his side but still blurted out a chuckle. "You can't be serious. Are you going to stand there and tell me that you haven't figured it out yet?"
"Figured what out? What are you talking about," Harry asked, feeling half-confused and half-angered. "Where is my father, damn it?"
The Green Goblin stalked forward, still chuckling out loud and smiling wickedly at Harry. "C'mon, Harry. Put two and two together; analyze the situation and recognize the truth when it's staring you dead in your face."
That was what Harry did; analyze, recognize and form his theory. He put it all together but he refused to believe the conclusion. "No… no, no, it can't be true."
"Oh, you know it's true, kid." the Goblin snarled.
"You're lying!" Harry shouted, and he fell backward when the Goblin stepped aggressively forward.
The Green Goblin leaned in despite the pain in his side and stated, "Yet, the proof is standing right in front of you… son."
Harry couldn't take it any and still didn't believe it… until the Green Goblin removed his mask and Harry was staring his own father in the face. "It was… it… it was you all along. That's not possible… my… father is not the Goblin. YOU'RE NOT THE GOBLIN!"
"You might as well stop deluding yourself, Harry; I already have," Norman snapped, taking another step toward Harry. "And I've done some very, VERY bad things. I've killed… a LOT of people. And here's the kicker; I did all of it for YOU. I did it all with the hope that you would man up and be the son I've always wanted and not the worthless child cowering here right now."
"You… you're insane." Harry said.
"I suppose I am, but it's better to be insane than to be a traitor, like them. Like her…" Norman snarled.
Harry tried to deduced the cryptic innuendo, trying to determine who this 'her' was supposed to be. And then with widened eyes, he asked, "Dad, what've you done?"
"Trust me, son; you'll thank me someday." Norman snarled.
"OSBORN!"
Out of nowhere, Spider-Man crashed through the window and collided with Norman. They hit the bookshelf hard, sending books falling to the floor around. Spider-Man immediately laid into Norman with a series of punches to the face, to the jaw and to the stomach. The stomach shots were particularly brutal, sending shocks of massive pain throughout Norman's body. One hard punch to the face rocked Norman before Spider-Man tossed him over the couch. Spider-Man leapt over the collapse seating but was quickly blasted backward into the bookshelf again. Harry had backed away from the unexpected brawl that had just ensued.
As Spider-Man was starting to rise, the Green Goblin reemerged fully masked and threw himself into the hero. They wrestled against the bookshelf, trading blows back and forth before the Green Goblin got the upped hand. He lifted Spider-Man up and threw him across the living room. Spider-Man crashed down first into the scotch table and then into the piano, while the Green Goblin pulled a single book down. The passage into the hidden vault opened and the Green Goblin started his entry, looking down briefly at a distraught and confused Harry. The distraction was brief but it allowed Spider-Man to tackle the Goblin into the vault.
They rolled and tumbled over each other before Spider-Man gained the upper hand and pinned the Goblin to the floor. "MURDERER!"
The Goblin simply chuckled and replied, "You make it sound like I did a bad thing, Spider-Man."
"SHUT YOU MOUTH," Spider-Man hoisted the Goblin up and pinned him to the wall. "Do you have any idea what you've done, Goblin? Do you? That was the woman I loved, and you're about to learn what that means."
Spider-Man lifted and threw the Goblin across the vault into the wide-open area where all of the Goblin equipment was stored. Still, the Goblin chuckled. "You should be thanking me, Spider-Man. Now that your little girlfriend is out of the picture, there's nothing to hold you back from being truly ruthless."
Spider-Man closed the distance up until his spider sense went off. The Green Goblin grabbed some sort of electrically charged blade from a stand and took a wide swipe. The tip cut through the fabric of Spider-Man's costume in the chest area, but no real damage was done. The Green Goblin started swiping and slashing wildly at Spider-Man and pushing him back. Spider-Man parried the incoming swipes until he managed to knock the blade out of the Goblin's hands. But the Goblin took advantage by grabbing Spider-Man by the neck and heaving him backward toward the vault entrance. Then the Goblin blasted Spider-Man with his glove, striking the hero in the chest.
Spider-Man was flung back all the way into the penthouse and slammed down onto the floor right in front of a shocked Harry. Harry backed away as the Green Goblin, his own father, emerged from the vault brandishing the blade again. The Goblin halted for a moment to glance at Harry, giving Spider-Man a chance to recover and snag the villain with a web line. He pulled as hard as he could on the line, but the Goblin pulled back just as hard resulting in a Tug of War. Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, the Goblin secretly pressed a button on his glove. Spider-Man pulled harder on the line until his spider sense went off.
The Green Goblin's glider suddenly appeared outside the window literally like a bat out of Hell. Then the glider lowered the duel machine guns from the wings. Spider-Man released the line and took cover behind the kitchen counter when the glider opened fired on the penthouse, instantly shredding everything in range. Harry took cover behind the couch while the Green Goblin hid in the entrance to the vault. The Goblin peered back into the penthouse as his glider was tearing it apart with gunfire and smiled at the chaos. Then he saw Harry looking back at him and the sick smile faded away.
The glider ceased its onslaught, allowing the Green Goblin to run for the machine as quickly as his hurt side would allow him. The Green Goblin boarded the glider and made his escape, but Spider-Man suddenly emerged from his cover and made a break for the glider. The Goblin turned just in time to have Spider-Man tackle him, and they entered a close quarters brawl atop the glider. The glider carried them away from the penthouse as they traded blows before the Goblin hoisted Spider-Man up. He tossed Spider-Man over his head and off the glider into free fall, but Spider-Man snagged the Goblin with a line and took him down with him.
They tumbled down still trading heavy blows while the gilder was left spinning in place, and Harry appeared by the broken window. He caught sight, albeit vague, of the Green Goblin and Spider-Man beating each other. The glider suddenly stopped rotating in place and jetted straight down toward the battling foe. The Goblin won the exchange again when his glider hovered before him, allowing him to board it and make a getaway. But Spider-Man refused to give up and snagged the glider's rear with a line.
The Green Goblin halted the glider's descent to hover just above the busy street, stopping numerous vehicles and causing them to slam into each other. Spider-Man released his line as he was coming down and quickly grasp the Green Goblin from behind. The Green Goblin tried to remove Spider-Man while the glider spun wildly around the street and people ran for cover. They jolted back and forth, trying to gain the upper hand. The Goblin one the exchange and threw Spider-Man down onto the windshield of a parked car. Spider-Man recovered quickly to avoid a pumpkin bomb being thrown at him, but the shockwave caught him as he leapt away. The Green Goblin caught his leg and flew upward toward the building.
At a considerable height above the street, the Goblin tossed Spider-Man threw the windows of an office building. Spider-Man careened into the office and set the startled people inside scattering for a safety. All the momentum caused Spider-Man to crash down onto a desk and take it down with him. The desk itself fell on top of him and pinned him, albeit briefly when Spider-Man pushed off of him. Then his spider sense went off and he spotted a series of pumpkin bombs coming his way. As soon as the first bomb landed right in front of him, Spider-Man bolted away from it.
The bomb exploded and Spider-Man just barely avoided the shockwave that followed. The next bomb blew and forced Spider-Man to avoid the next shockwave, followed by the next shockwave and the next. Spider-Man moved back and forth to avoid the shockwaves as they came until one sent him flying out of the building and into the city. He managed to cling to the wall of an adjacent building and reacted to yet another bomb tossed his way by the Goblin, leaping above the blast and the shockwave. Then Spider-Man leapt from the wall and lunged right for the Green Goblin.
Spider-Man collided and grasped the Green Goblin from behind even as the villain tried to throw him off. They fought again for control of the glider, spinning wildly in midair before the Green Goblin put the machine in reverse and back into side of the penthouse. Spider-Man was forced to release while the Green Goblin rotated around on his glider. He tried to take a wild swipe at Spider-Man when the hero leapt over his head and landed behind the Goblin again. The Goblin tried the same reverse maneuver a second time, but Spider-Man was able to avoid colliding with the adjacent building by bounding over the Goblin. The Goblin hit the wall backward and felt the agonizingly sharp pain in his side, stalling him in mid air. Spider-Man landed back on the glider and grasped the Green Goblin under his chin.
The Goblin produced a sick grin despite the pain. "Oh, now where did this come from, I wonder?"
Spider-Man pushed the Goblin into building's wall harder, making the Goblin grimace in pain. "You don't get to talk after what you've done." Spider-Man snarled.
"It's no different from what you've done youself, kid. Besides, look at what you're doing now," the Goblin gunned the glider's engine while grabbing Spider-Man by his throat. "All this aggression comes from your rage, caused solely by me."
The Green Goblin spun the glider around before tossing Spider-Man straight up into the air. He then sent a blast straight up; the blast struck Spider-Man and catapulted him further. Spider-Man spiraled out of control in midair upon reaching the roof of the building, and then careened onto the roof. His body rolled across nearly the length of the roof before coming to a sudden stop. As he tried to recover, the Green Goblin hovered into view. He continued to favor his side, but he also grinned wickedly as Spider-Man was now on one knee.
"Look at you; all that anger and still, you can't stand against me. I don't know what that little whore ever saw in you." the Goblin claimed.
"It's not something you'd ever understand, Osborn, and I'm not going to give you the chance." Spider-Man replied in defiance.
"You won't have to, Parker. See, I thought long and hard about whether or not I should just kill you or make wish you were dead. I've decided to let you live just long enough to watch me slaughter everyone you've ever known and loved. Then and only then when you've found yourself wishing that those you love the most never existed, I split your skull."
"You're nothing but a monster, Goblin. You're a twisted, demented psychopath and if it means I have to die tonight, I swear I'm going to stop you." Spider-Man said even more defiant, and he stood straight up.
The Green Goblin produced two pumpkin bombs and with a sick but determined smile, he stated, "You can try. But you will fail, and then you will DIE!"
Spider-Man charged forward while the Green Goblin tossed the two bombs to the rooftop in front of the hero. The bombs detonated on impact as Spider-Man sprinted forward. He shifted to his left to avoid the first bomb's shockwave, then shifted right to avoid the second. The Green Goblin unleashed a barrage of blasts from his gloves, while Spider-Man continued his sprint. Then Spider-Man leaped as hard as his legs would allow, and he tackled the Green Goblin. The momentum carried them away from the roof and back into the air. They struggled on the glider before the Green Goblin butted heads with Spider-Man and tossed him forward.
Spider-Man shot a web line back toward the Goblin and missed, but he used the same line to swing and avoid the Goblin's approach. The Goblin was now in front of Spider-Man, and he rotated the glider to face the hero. He took a hard punch to the face followed by an even larder kick to the chest. Then he tossed a bomb that exploded prematurely, allowing Spider-Man to avoid the shockwave entirely. Spider-Man connected with another punch and forced the Green Goblin to retreat.
The Green Goblin gunned the glider's engine and made his getaway, while Spider-Man managed to snag the rear with a web line. They raced across the skyline in full view of onlookers above the streets in the building and below on the street itself. At the same time, a lone vehicle was racing down the streets, driven by Harry. He'd been trying to keep up with the two foes as they battled in the sky, reeking havoc all over the city. More often than not, Harry almost either crashed or hit a wayward bystander in his own chase. As macabre as it seemed, that was least of his worries.
The Green Goblin continued his retreated with Spider-Man still attached to the glider with his line until he rounded a sharp turn. Spider-Man released his line and spiraled straight ahead, while the Green Goblin vanished into the turn. He quickly fired a web line and swung up the same turn, but he'd seemingly lost sight of the Goblin. He kept swinging down the path until his spider sense. The Green Goblin suddenly burst out of the glass windows of an office building and grabbed hold of Spider-Man. They spun around in midair before the Green Goblin threw Spider-Man into the corner of another office building.
Spider-Man suddenly came out from the other side and tackled the Goblin, causing them to spiral in the air. Spider-Man quickly gained control before he climbed onto the Goblin's shoulders as they raced along the skyline. He directed the Green Goblin toward the next building and planted him into the side. The Goblin's face and torso were slammed into the brick and sent chunks of debris tumbling toward the streets. People were scrambling to avoid the debris, as well as the oncoming car driven by a frantic Harry. He'd lost count of how many times he'd had to swerve to avoid running anyone down.
He looked up briefly as the Goblin and Spider-Man fought like wild animals, but he was still unable to grasp that the Goblin was his own father. Harry swerved to the left to avoid hitting someone before he was able to right his car. He followed the flight plan the Goblin was taking, and realized they were heading for OsCorp. Harry suddenly swerved again and nearly lost control of the car, even coming dangerously close to sideswiping another. He stopped short of a tractor-trailer that was blocking his way. There was nothing Harry could do until the tractor-trailer moved, other than hope that he could get through to his father.
Spider-Man and the Green Goblin continued to fight atop the manically flying wing, trading hard blows between each other. The Green Goblin managed to grab hold of Spider-Man and throw out in front, and then he tossed a pumpkin bomb after him. Spider-Man recovered with a web line and swung out ahead of the bomb just as it exploded. He then snagged another bomb with a line and tossed back at the Goblin. The Goblin shield himself from the blast but he wasn't ready for Spider-Man punch him square in the face. The blow was so hard that the Goblin lost his footing and nearly fell from the glider.
He recovered and climbed back onto the glider just in time for Spider-Man to land behind him and grabbed hold from behind. Spider-Man wrapped his arm around the Goblin's throat, and tried to steer him, but the Goblin drove his elbow into Spider-Man's chest repeatedly. After three strikes, Spider-Man released his hold and the Green Goblin grabbed him by his head. The Green Goblin had Spider-Man by the armpits and threw him into the side of a building. Spider-Man recovered and fired a series for web spheres. The spheres slammed into the Green Goblin before he tossed a bomb.
Spider-Man was able to avoid the bomb but was still caught by the shockwave. He tumbled down toward the street and smashed the windshield of a parked car. The Green Goblin came down and tossed another pumpkin bomb that Spider-Man just barely managed to avoid, and then he fired an onslaught of blasts. Spider-Man ducked and dodged and weaved in between the shots until one hit him square in the chest and propelled him into a department store window. For a few moments, the Green Goblin waited for Spider-Man to reappear with a pumpkin bomb in hand. Spider-Man fired a pair of web lines and forced the Green Goblin to avoid them both.
A third line snagged the bomb from his hand just as Spider-Man bolted out of the destroyed store. He grabbed the copper sphere and pitched it back at the Goblin, who performed a loop to avoid the blast of the bomb. By the time the Goblin righted himself, Spider-Man was airborne and driving his feet into the Goblin's face. Spider-Man swung back around a struck the Goblin's face again, and then a third time before the Green Goblin struck back with a blast from his glove. Spider-Man was hit by the blast and dropped to the street while the Goblin tried to make a getaway.
"Goblin, you're not getting away from me." Spider-Man shouted and fired a web line that snagged the underside of the glider as it escaped.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you, Spider-Man?" the Green Goblin shouted back and tossed a pair of razor bats at Spider-Man.
Spider-Man shifted his body to avoid the projectiles before he shouted, "I'll never stop until I've made you pay for killing Gwen. If I have to chase you forever, YOU'LL PAY!"
"Not if I kill you first!" the Green Goblin spat.
They raced further down the across the length of the city, with the Green Goblin tossing a series of razor bats and pumpkin bombs to get rid of Spider-Man. Spider-Man held on to the line for all he was worth and made a slow but relentless climb for the glider. It occurred to Spider-Man that the Green Goblin was taking them both to OsCorp. That was the birthplace of the Goblin, so it made sense that that was where this conflict needed to end. Spider-Man would've had it no other way as he continued to inch his way toward the glider. His spider sense went off and a pumpkin bomb was almost right on top of him.
Spider-Man swung himself to the underside of the glider just before the Goblin exploded. The Green Goblin looked back and saw no sign of Spider-Man anywhere, thus assuming that he'd been blown away. When he turned, Spider-Man was right in front of him grabbed him. They wrestled again for control of the glider as it rocketed toward OsCorp. When they reached the main gate entrance and flew over the wall, the Green Goblin rotated himself and Spider-Man in an attempt to get rid of the hero. Spider-Man held on and continued to pummel the villain as they continued to fly over the facility.
They soared near to the inactive smoke stacks where Spider-Man released his grip on the Goblin and swung in between the pillars. The Green Goblin gave chase, tossing razor bats and pumpkin bombs at Spider-Man while the web slinger swung around the smoke stacks. Spider-Man managed to get behind the Green Goblin and land a hard punch to the villain's face, sending the villain into a brief spin. The Green Goblin recovered and fired a series of blast, missing Spider-Man as he continued to swing in between the smoke stacks of OsCorp. Spider-Man tried to swing back around to surprise the Green Goblin, but the Goblin was ready and struck him with a blast.
Spider-Man spiraled through the air and crashed onto a metal rooftop and left an indentation where he landed. The Green Goblin made his move by tossing two pumpkin bombs one after the other at Spider-Man. Spider-Man batted one bomb away before the second blew up in front of him. The explosion and the shockwave catapulted Spider-Man across the roof. The fall to the metal surface was harder than the first. The Green Goblin made a low pass and nearly took Spider-Man's head off before ascending back up toward the sky. He started to come back around and tossing razor bats to the roof, while Spider-Man started running across the roof.
Spider-Man managed to snag a razor bat as it passed before swinging back into the air. He landed onto a smoke stack just as the Green Goblin was approaching. The Green Goblin tossed another razor bat while Spider-Man back flipped up the stack. Then the Green Goblin made another pass, missing Spider-Man by inches. While the Goblin retreated to prepare for his next pass, Spider-Man covered the razor bat he had in hand with a coating of webbing. Then he heard the twisted cackling of the Green Goblin as he started making his move.
"THIS ENDS RIGHT AND RIGHT NOW, PETER PARKER." he shouted.
"Damn right it does, Osborn." Spider-Man whispered to himself.
He waited for the Green Goblin to get closer to him before he leaped from the stack. The Green Goblin tossed a pumpkin bomb that went over Spider-Man's head, while Spider-Man clung to the underside of the glider. He jammed the razor bat into the glider's afterburner and quickly leaped away. The engine exploded when the Green Goblin tried to accelerate, and the glider began to spew smoke and flame from the rear. He tried to bank back and attack Spider-Man again, but the glider was steadily descending. Then its descent quickened as it approached the ground near the main entrance.
Spider-Man watched from the roof as the Goblin finally crashed into the ground, the momentum carrying across the ground. The glider skidded across the ground and sent bits of shrapnel everywhere, though it remained largely intact. Spider-Man leapt down to confront to confront the Goblin face to face, and then the Goblin tossed a bomb toward him. Spider-Man hopped over the bomb as it exploded, landing behind the Goblin. He sprinted toward the Goblin and tackled him like a linebacker, and then carried him all the way across the way until them hit the outer wall of the OsCorp facility. The impact caused the Goblin to grimace; it seemed that his side was reinjured. With Goblin pinned and hurting, Spider-Man started viciously beating the Goblin with straight punched to the face and ribs. He drove his knee into the same ribs, causing the Goblin spit up blood and drop to the ground.
The Goblin chuckled weakly, further enraging Spider-Man and coaxing him to continue the assault. Spider-Man attacked with increased anger, every blow landed reminding him of what the Green Goblin had to him, to Harry…. to Gwen. Then his assault slowed as his knuckles bled from the inside of his costume. Soon he and the Goblin collapse, but Spider-Man still had the Goblin by the throat. Then the Goblin suddenly reached up and grabbed Spider-Man's mask. Spider-Man back flipped away, but now his face was exposed.
The Goblin chuckled and said, "Look at you," Then he threw the mask to the ground before for his own and removing it. "I suppose it's only fair that we keep it even. Don't you agree?"
Peter coldly replied, "Go to Hell, you murdering son of a bitch."
Norman slowly stood up while holding his ribs and wiping the blood from his lips. He said, "Tell me something; how did it feel to hold her in your arms as she died? Did she cry? Was she afraid? Did she beg for you to save her, or did you simply just her slip away?"
"Shut up!" Peter snarled.
"It's depressing, isn't it, Parker? All that power, all those abilities and still, you couldn't save the woman you loved most. Oh, don't go thinking that she's looking down upon you from Heaven, because she's not up there. She's all the way down there…. IN HELL."
Peter finally snapped and heedlessly charged forward right into Norman, tackling him into the wall with all the force he could muster. He grasped Norman's throat and screamed, "Do you have even the slightest what it's like to lose someone you care about? Do you know how damning it feels not to be able to save the person you love most?"
Norman tried to shift his body around but Peter wasn't allowing it. "Not really, no. Please, enlighten me on how you cared for that pathetic little whore." he taunted Peter.
Peter tightened his grip on Norman throat and snapped, "Her name is Gwen Stacy. She was… she IS the love of my life and you took her away from me."
"You took her from Harry first, and now she's dead. Now's your chance to avenge her, and you won't get a better to finish it." Norman retorted and seemingly dared Peter to finish it. At the same time, he secretly remote activated the damaged glider.
Peter was tempted to finish Norman once and for all, even tightening his grip further. But he released his grip and Norman dropped to the ground. "You'd like that wouldn't you? You'd like for me to sink to your level, but as mush I'd like to finish this, Osborn, Gwen would never want that, and that's something you'll never understand."
Norman stood up and snarled, "So be it…. Spider-Man!" Then he hit the switch.
The glider roared to life and jetted forward. Peter felt his spider sense go off big time, and as time stood still, he caught a glimpse of the glider razor sharp tongue jolting forth. Within a matter of moment that barely registered to him, Peter leaped as high as he could, back flipping in the air as the glider soared under him at break neck speed. Norman wasn't nearly as fast enough. The glider collided with his sternum, driving the bladed tongue right through the flesh. Momentum took over and the glider sent Norman into the wall and then slumping down to the ground. Peter dropped to the ground and stared in pure shock at the result. Norman shared the same expression… and the he sneered at Peter one last time.
"You lose… Parker." he said weakly before slumping over, seemingly dead.
Peter wasn't able to fathom what had just happened right in front of him, and he had no time fathom it once he'd heard the sound of Harry's voice somewhere in the distance. He had no time to act on what to do with the body other leave it where it lay. Then he was gone.
A few minutes later, Harry arrived at the facility after being delayed on the roads. He'd broken into a sprint while searching for his father… and found him. His worst fears were realized the moment he found Norman dead on the cold ground, garbed still in his Goblin costume minus the mask and with the glider embedded in his sternum. Harry knelt down beside the man that was his father but also the most terrifying criminal Manhattan had ever known. He could hear police sirens approaching, but that was no comfort to him. He broke down into tears, but whether it was because he'd lost his father or because his father was the Green Goblin was a question too horrifying to contemplate.
Author's note: Well that took a while but I finally got this chapter finished. I won't go into the details of this chapter so if you could, leave some feedback.
