After everyone else were already gone for the night, Peter stayed back in Aunt May's hospital room, not wanting to leave her out of worry. When it was already close to late hours, Peter became exhausted and was resting his head on his college study books that he laid out on Aunt May's bed. Eventually, he felt someone rubbing the back of his head.

"Wake up."

Peter slowly woke up in reaction to the smooth rubbing touch. When he opened his eyes and lifted his head up, he saw that Aunt May awaken in front of him.

"Wake up, Peter. Wake up," Aunt May said. "Go home, dear. You look awful."

"And you look beautiful," Peter said, feeling relieved his aunt's okay.

"Thank you," Aunt May nodded in appreciation.

"I don't want to leave you here," Peter said.

"Oh, but I'm safe here," Aunt May dismissed her nephew's concerns.

"Can I get you something?" Peter offered.

"You do too much - college, your job, all this time with me - you're not Superman, you know," Aunt May joked, making Peter chuckled at her remarks. "That smile, finally. I hadn't seen one of those on your face since Mary Jane was here."

Peter gave his Aunt a look. "Hey, you're suppose to be asleep."

Aunt May giggled. "You know, you were about 6 years old when M.J.'s family moved in next door," She reminisced. "When she got out of the car, and you saw her for the first time. You grabbed me and said, "Aunt May, Aunt May, is that an angel?" "

Peter pulled his head back in surprise, apparently having no recollection of such a memory. "Gee, did I say that?"

"You sure did," Aunt May nodded with a giggle.

"Well, Harry's in love with her," Peter shrugged. "She's still his girl."

"Well, isn't that up to her?"

Peter shook his head. "She doesn't really know who I am."

"Because you won't let her. You're so mysterious all the time. Tell me, would it be so dangerous to let Mary Jane know how much you care?" Aunt May chuckled. "Everybody else knows."

Peter's expression changed to a sudden shock when he came to realization after hearing Aunt May spoke those words. "I'll be right back," He quickly left her hospital room to look for a payphone.

Meanwhile, Spinneret was web-swinging back to her home after seeing no crime in progress and no sightings of Spider-Man tonight. She landed on her balcony, entering inside her apartment.

"Phew, what a day," Spinneret muttered to herself, clearly exhausted from her crime-fighting patrol.

After Mary Jane removed her mask and unbraided her hair, shaking her head to let it wave down freely before changing out of her costume. After putting her Spinneret suit back in her wardrobe closet, she wore her pink nightwear, ready to sleep off for the night.

Suddenly, as soon as MJ was about to walk over to her bed, a loud explosion was heard from outside her bedroom, causing her to shook. "What the?"

MJ quickly exited out of her bedroom, then saw a large hole in her apartment with fires spread around its proximity. She looked around her surroundings carefully, keeping on her guard as she sensed the cause of the danger still lingering nearby.

Out of the shadows, someone had grabbed her by the neck before being pinned against her apartment wall, making her gasped loudly in reaction to whoever broken through her apartment. It was the Green Goblin, hovering on his glider menacingly in front of her.

"You!" MJ coughed from the Goblin's tightened grip on her neck. "What are you want?!"

Before MJ could struggle out of his grasp any further, the Green Goblin sprayed sleeping gas from his gauntlet, making her passed out as her now-unconscious body fell in his arms.

"Why, my dear?" The Green Goblin let out his evil maniacal laugh. "You'll make a perfect bait to layout my trap," He was about to drag Mary Jane's unconscious body away when her telephone received a tone.

"Hi, it's me. Sing your song at the beep," MJ's telephone message said, before the beep was heard.

"MJ, it's Peter. You there? Hello? You there? I'm just calling to check up on you again. Will you call me when you get in? All right, well... don't... don't go up any dark alleys."

The Green Goblin approached the telephone and picked it up close to his metallic mask, grinning evilly underneath.

"Hello?"

The Goblin let out his evil laugh once more, taunting his enemy on the other side of the line. "Can Spider-Man come out to play?"

"Where is she?" Peter hissed angrily.

Much later, Mary Jane slowly opened her eyes when she felt the cold wind blew across her face. In the midst of feeling dazed and confused, she found herself laying down on a metal grate.

As MJ stood back up on her feet and tried to make sense of her surroundings, she nearly walked close to the edge of the platform she was standing on, almost tipping over with her arms flailing out in a frightened panic. After regaining her balance, MJ stepped away from the edge before realizing she was standing on top of the Queensboro Bridge.

MJ almost tried to strip at first out of habit, but then cursed herself when she realized she changed out of her costume and hid it back in her apartment. Talk about worse timing to take a break from your crime-fighting patrol.

With no option left, MJ tried to look for a way down, but then, she immediately saw the Green Goblin about to fly straight at her. MJ quickly dropped her head just as the flying menace flew past her by in inch. She slowly stood back up as she witnessed him circling around the bridge.

The Green Goblin was flying besides a moving cable car that was being occupied by a chaperone and a group of children, some of which natively exclaimed in awe and curiosity. "The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout. Down came the Goblin and took the Spider out," He laughed evilly, as he shot a missile from his glider at the tram station.

MJ gasped in horror when the explosion illuminated on her face as it caused the other cars on the bridge to swerve out of control.

When the metal wire that was connecting the cable car then detached from the exploding tram station, the car itself lost its hold on the sky and started falling all the down to the shallow New York rivers, along with the rest of its panicking occupants.

The Green Goblin then grabbed the loose wire effortlessly with just the simple grip of his palmed hand, dragging the cart away from its descend. He laughed evilly as he flew his way back up to where Mary Jane was standing.

Elsewhere, Spider-Man swung by and landed on a building with flagpoles, witnessing the explosion taken place at the bridge from the distance. "Goblin, what have you done?"

Knowing he had to get there fast, he quickly shot two web-lines at the flag poles, pulling himself far back until it propelled himself far into the sky. Upon closing in, he fired another web-line at the top of the bridge, web-swinging around its infrastructure, then shot a web at a support beam, swinging around it until slingshotting himself straight through the air.

When Spider-Man finally landed, he looked up to see the Green Goblin held the panicking Mary Jane by her neck on his left arm while his right was holding the detached metal wire, which was connected to the cable car.

"Spider-Man, this is why only fools are heroes, because you'll never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice," The Green Goblin bellowed. "Let die the woman you love."

MJ screamed in terror when the Goblin lifted her in the air.

"Or suffer the little children," The Green Goblin growled, turning to the right where the cable car was hanging, the passengers screaming for the hero's aid.

"SPIDER-MAN! Save us!"

"SAVE US!"

"Make your choice, Spider-Man, and see how a hero was rewarded," The Green Goblin said.

"Don't do it, Goblin!" Spider-Man begged out loud.

"We are who we choose to be," The Green Goblin then relinquished his hold on his hostages. "Now choose!"

"NO!" Spider-Man shouted as he witnessed Mary Jane and the children screaming for their lives, slowly falling right before his eyes.

In an instant desperate move, Spider-Man ran to his right, leaping off the support beam, catching Mary Jane in midair before shooting a web-line, swinging underneath the bridge to the another side where the cable car was falling.

The moment Spider-Man managed to catch the wire connected to the cable car, he shot another web above, keeping himself, MJ and cable car itself suspending by the bottom of the bridge.

Just as Spider-Man had no idea how to get the girl he loved and the cable car filled with innocent children inside safely out of harm's way, he saw a light being shined on him from a barge ship from across the New York river.

"Ahoy up there!" The captain shouted into his megaphone. "We're gotta bring the barge right under you!"

Spider-Man and MJ turned their heads back up when they heard the Green Goblin flown on his glider again, laughing out loud.

"He's coming back!" MJ screamed.

"Listen! I need you to climb down," Spider-Man exclaimed.

"What?" Mary Jane looked at him, her eyes turned from scared to worried. "But what about you?

"I'll be fine," Spider-Man tried reassuring the concerned redhead.

"What if he hurts you? What if he takes you away and no one can save you?"

"I can handle it. Those people down there still needs me, and I can't give up on them, not even you," Spider-Man pleaded heavily, before turning to a soft voice. "Just trust me... please."

Knowing he had a point, MJ reluctantly nodded to his words. She just hated that she couldn't get herself to help him without revealing her secret to the people above and below her. Having full confidences in her spider-abilities, MJ carefully relinquished her grasp on Spider-Man's torso and wrapped her hands around the wire, slowly making her way down to the cable car.

"Hold on tight and go quickly," Spider-Man said promptly. As he turned his head around when he felt his senses buzzing like crazy, he saw the Green Goblin just flew close to his foe, smacking him in the chest, making him swung back and forth uncontrollably, along with the MJ and the cable car that was still being dangled in the air like a heavy yo-yo.

Despite flinging around in midair, MJ still managed to maintain her hard grip on the metal wire as she continued to climb down.

When the Goblin flew back around and smacked him hard again with his extended arm, Spider-Man got flung away, making him lost his grip on the wire. He swung forward, grabbing it just in time to stop the car from falling fast. To his surprise and confusion, MJ still somehow kept her hands tight on it without a struggle as she was closer to the car.

"He's not gonna make it!" One of the Sailors exclaimed worriedly.

"He's gonna make it!" The Captain reassured.

Spider-Man knew that sailor was almost right, as he was struggling to hold the heavy cable car long enough for the barge ship to sail in, especially when he felt his palms were already bleeding from the metal grinding of the wire as he was slowly lowering it from his grip.

But he still had to keep trying to hold on for as long as he could, because they're all depending on him. He can't give up now.

Preparing for one final killing strike, The Green Goblin's flying back straight at the web-slinger. "It's time to DIE!" He declared, as two sharp blades extended from his glider.

Spider-Man looked up, gasping when he realized he was about to meet, what it seemed to be, his inevitable demise and another biggest failure of his life. Unexpectedly, someone threw an object at the Green Goblin's head, making him swerved his glider away from its trajectory. Spider-Man lifted his legs up, barely dodging the blades by the surface of his soles.

When the Green Goblin finally regained control of his glider, he growled in annoyance at what even hit him. "Who- ?" He turned around and looked up to see where the objects were thrown from.

"Come on up here, tough guy! I got a little something for ya!"

"We're gonna kick your frickin' ass!"

The citizens of New York on the bridge threw miscellaneous objects at the Green Goblin, banding together to aid their hero in his time of need.

"Leave Spider-Man alone! You're gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?!"

"Oh, yeah, I got something for your ass! You mess with Spidey, you mess with New York!"

"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!"

With the crowd support of New York keeping the Green Goblin at bay, Spider-Man lowered cable car until it finally landed safely on the barge ship.

The citizens of New York, the sailors and the children cheered in unison, MJ especially, who expressed in happiness for Spider-Man's heroic rescue. Unfortunately, her happiness came to an abrupt end when she witnessed the Green Goblin flying towards the web-slinger.

"Spider-Man, watch out!" Mary Jane screamed on top of her lungs.

The Green Goblin held a strong rope with a hook that was attached to the back of his glider and threw it around Spider-Man's waist, dragging him along as he flew away to the distance.

"SPIDER-MAN!"

A/N: Here we go, readers. The first part of the climax is just the beginning of the end (of the Final Confrontation).

Not too different from the original bridge scene, but the divergence from the original timeline really does somewhat make it easier for Mary Jane to get out of that situation more smoothly (that said, it doesn't mean the redhead was totally brave on all fronts; she was training to be an actress, after all.) Which also means the feelings she felt in that scariest moment, which she confessed to Peter in the ending of the original movie/timeline, will be entirely different because of that divergence.

The next chapter and final part of the climax will be the main reveal that'll throw the characters for a shock. Can't wait for that to be here.

With that said, any constructive criticisms and comments would be greatly appreciated. I hope you enjoy reading this chapter.

Reviews:

Spike Trap: Appreciated your nice review.

And no, this Universe will not be part of the MCU, and I had no intentions of crossing my Making Your Vows characters with the Avengers, because writing a character-focused fanfic while doing a Cinematic Universe at the same time would be a mess for me.

As for that other thing, who knows? I still got some plans for what I wanted to in this Universe.

CT311998: Thanks, man.

Hope you enjoyed how I got it all down for this chapter.

DCDGojira: Kind review, as always.

And no, honestly, I wasn't that tuned in for watching any MCU movies lately, with the last one I watched was Multiverse of Madness(However, I do watch some clips I do like from the latest phases). While I may not have much interest in those films as I used to have, I do still have some anticipation for what they'll do next for Tom Holland's fourth Spider-Man film. It'll be interesting to see his journey in the college era.

Commander 117: Thanks for your great review.

And another awes thx for accepting my decline. As for leaving shoutouts on my profile, it's something I won't do, because I just don't like advertising out from my profile bio, so I won't be leaving it there, but the challenge itself is still in the review board and was mentioned in my review shoutouts, so it'll still be there for anyone interested.
