Flying a considerably long distance away from the bridge and away from the lives of the children he threatened, the Green Goblin relinquished his cable's hold on Spider-Man, throwing him inside a somewhat-brittled building.

Upon crashing into the building, Spider-Man saw that he was about to be impaled by some deadly structures. He managed to shoot a quick web-line to avoid them, though, he instead smashed through a broken glass window, landing himself hard against a cobbled wall that was infested by overgrown vines.

Spider-Man tried to get back on his knees, but then he heard one of Green Goblin's pumpkin bombs was thrown from the way he was dropped in. As it was slowly rolled right close to his face, it combusted into a ball of fiery explosion, tearing a large part of his right eye and mouth, with only his left eye lense cracked open, leaving his costume almost in tatters, his own blood being partially leaking out by the shrapnel cuts on his own skin.

Then, he got violently pushed back by the intense impact, making him crash through the cobbled brick walls behind him before finally landed flat on the dirty ground with a painful guttural noise escaped from his mouth.

As Spider-Man was struggling to get back up, the Green Goblin flew right in front of him and dismounted from his glider, standing in dominance over his downed foe.

"Misery, misery, misery, that's what you chosen," The Green Goblin mocked, as the wounded Web-Slinger still struggled to get back on his feet. "I offered you friendship, and you spat in my face."

Spider-Man blocked the Goblin's first incoming punch, but then got jabbed in the chest by the second. He tried dodging his other incoming punch, but got kneecapped in the jaw, making him staggered before being hard smacked in the face. Spider-Man then got uppercutted so high in the air, making him let out a shrieking noise upon landing painfully on his back.

The Green Goblin then did a front flip forward, landing two repeated punches at his weakened foe.

As Spider-Man recovered slightly from the punches, he shot a web-line to the ceiling to try gaining a higher ground, but the Goblin reacted too fast with a spinning kick in the air, making him fell back to the surface.

The Green Goblin pulled Spider-Man into his grasp before punching him away again which made him rolled across the grassy grounds. Spider-Man quickly created a web net in front of the Goblin in an effort to, at least, slow him down if not subduing him completely.

Despite being a futile effort when the Green Goblin just simply ripping the web net apart, Spider-Man took the chance to try running up to him and land his fist while his monstrous foe was being occupied by his entrapment. But even that was already proven to be ineffective when the Goblin just simply used his already-freed leg to push him back hard with a brutal kick to the face, making the poor webhead himself land against a hard surface of a brittled brick wall.

And just as Spider-Man was about to stand in his fighting stance, albeit still disoriented from the amount of punches he could possibly handle, the Goblin gave him no more chance when he sent a flying kick to his chest, pushing him off his balance again as he got flown across the area until he landed his back hard against another hard wall before falling in defeat.

Despite still struggling against his brutal injuries, Spider-Man still attempted to try lift his hand to try subdue the green menace with another web, but got relentlessly held down when his foe held his foot hard on it, forcing him to be at his mercy as he was looking up at his yellow eyes.

"You spun your last web, Spider-Man," The Green Goblin declared. "Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would've been quick and painless. But you really just pissed me off. I'm gotta finish her. Nice and slow," He ferociously stated.

Upon hearing those horrific words from the Goblin's mouth, Spider-Man was seething his teeth in anger at the possibility of his loved ones being threatened, tortured and killed in the most inhumane way.

"MJ and I," Green Goblin suddenly pulled out his green trident, its sharp top split into three claws with sparks of electricity radiated from their tips. "We're gotta have a hell of time." Just he was about to send one last striking blow to the head, something unexpected happened. A feral scream of a woman was heard.

"NOOOO!"

When the Green Goblin heard that scream from behind him, he was frozen in shock the moment he turned around and witnessed someone else was standing in the dark ruined backgrounds, holding a web-line of her own, right before front of his eyes.

It was Mary Jane. "You... stay... away... from... HIM!"

With enough force by her own spider-strength, she pulled him away from Spider-Man, making the Green Goblin got flung towards a large battered wall that was standing in the opposite direction of his foe. As he tried to get back up, MJ spun two webs at his feet, making him fell on his back before shooting another two at the battered wall behind him.

The Green Goblin held his arm out, yelling as he braced for his life when the battered wall slowly fell on top of his entire body, burying him alive as it made a loud rumble from the impact.

The redhead quickly ran to Spider-Man's side, helping him up from his wounds. "Peter?"

"MJ?" Spider-Man muttered as he was blinking in disbelief, almost taken back by the fact the woman he loved also somehow possessed her own share of spider-powers. "You were... ?"

"Yeah... " MJ gave a relieved smile with tears of happiness glittered in her eyes. "... I was Spinneret."

"But... but... when... how... ?" Spider-Man stuttered on his words.

"Let's just say, it turns out you're not the only one who had their own share of bug bites," MJ said half-jokingly, somehow recalling Peter's dismissive words back on the day of the field trip, the day the two's fate started to interweaved.

Flashback to Minutes ago

When Spider-Man was being snatched away before her eyes, Mary Jane clasped her head, feeling her senses pulsing inside her skull more crazy than before as her emotions goes into overdrive, as if it's instinctively telling her to go to her hero's aid. She turned to the sailors that were manning the barge ship. "Can you hurry this boat there?" She asked desperately.

"Miss, you saw what that green freak did ya and the kids," The Captain reminded.

"But I have to get to him."

"But what can you do, Miss? That green freak had you dead to rights up there," The one of the other sailors pointed out.

"Please... let me try to save him." MJ begged again, almost to the point of tears starting to fall in her eyes. "We owe him a chance for our lives."

The children nodded in agreement, wanting the hero saved after risking his own life for theirs.

Reluctantly giving into MJ's pleading request, the sailors directed the barge ship towards the shores. Like as if there's no tomorrow, MJ quickly leaped across the gaps in between the waters and dry lands, running as far and fast as her legs could allow, with a little help from catapulting herself from her webs to cut the travel distances shorter.

As she finally made it into the abandoned building, ignoring the feel of messy grass and dirt covering her feet, MJ broken her way, only to suddenly gasped when she instantly saw Spider-Man flew across the ruins till he hit a battered wall with his back before falling flat to the ground. She quickly hid behind one of the cobbled walls.

The moment Spider-Man slowly raised his head from the dirty grounds, that's when MJ clearly saw the real face behind his torn up mask, right before her eyes. Her expression suddenly turned to shock of disbelief when she couldn't believe who she was seeing behind that mask; one man who she kissed on that rainy night as her alter ego was actually the same man who confessed his love out to her in that hospital room.

All this time, she realized, the man she was truly in loved with had always in front of her all along.

MJ was brought back to reality when she heard Spider-Man's right hand being stomped on by Green Goblin's foot, hearing him moaned in pain.

"You spun your last web, Spider-Man," The Green Goblin declared, still holding his foot down on his foe's hand. "Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would've been quick and painless. But you really just pissed me off. I'm gotta finish her. Nice and slow," He ferociously stated.

Mary Jane's face started to fill with breathtaking aggression upon hearing the Green Goblin's words about threatened to hurt Peter through his loved ones, including herself.

"MJ and I," Green Goblin pulled out his green trident, its sharp top split into three claws. "We're gotta have a hell of time."

That's when the unmasked heroine herself saved the love of her life by the quickest lift of her wrist. "NOOOO!"

End of Flashback

"Mary Jane... I'm so sorry -" Spider-Man tried to apologized, but got cut off by her touch on his bleeding lips.

"No, it's okay. You're okay," MJ cried softly and happily, her hands on his cheeks. She then leaned in, the two started touching foreheads as a reassuring sign of no one will keep them apart now. "We're okay now."

Their touching reunion, however, was put on a halt when they heard the Green Goblin struggling to climb out of the battered wall that crushed him; his arm shot up first, the rest of his now-rusty armor slowly emerging as he was barely standing back up, his body wobbled side to side.

Seeing the Green Goblin still somehow standing, MJ's instincts started overtaking her with rage, making her shot a webline at his chest and slinged herself towards him, with her legs pushing him in the guts before having the bastard pinned hard against another battered wall.

Grabbing his face make him be up close and personal, she repeatedly punched him in the mask, as payback for all the innocents he had murdered, for hurting those close to her, for trying to use her to kill the one man she deeply loved very much.

"You won't hurt anyone else ever again," Mary Jane stated darkly, mercilessly punching him to a pulp.

"Wait, stop, wait, stop! Please make her stop!" Green Goblin begged out loud, his tone sounded uncharacteristically scared as he had his hand out for mercy.

Feeling the scared desperation in the Goblin's voice, Spider-Man stood back up on his feet and jumped forward to their position, stopping MJ from pulling anymore brutal punches by using his own strength, the serious look in his eyes telling her it's enough.

No longer able to force any more punches, Mary Jane eventually calmed down and slowly realized how much her anger had blinded her, almost reminding her of one particular person in her life that would commit such action.

Her tears of guilt started to show when she looked down at her knuckles and saw how bloody bruised they were. No longer able to hold back her tears, she buried her face into his shoulders.

Spider-Man smoothly rubbed her back, reassuring her that everything's okay now.

After a few moments of peace, Green Goblin reached the bottom of his rusted mask, forcefully removing it from his face.

Spider-Man and MJ gave a shocked look of disbelief when they looked down, realizing who's the man was underneath that Goblin mask. "Mr. Osborn... " They said in a quiet unison.

"Peter, Ms. Watson, thank god for you both," Norman whimpered.

"You... you killed those people on that balcony," MJ said, still processing the fact this was the same man who wreaked havoc back at the Unity Festival not even that long ago. "You let Harry, your own son, got hurt."

Norman shook his head vigorously, denying it. "The Goblin killed. I had nothing to do with it; I wouldn't even hurt my own son. Please don't let him take me again, I beg you two, protect me," He pleaded desperately with a sobbed voice.

"You tried to hurt Mary Jane," Spider-Man said accusingly, referring to the girl next to him. "You tried to hurt Aunt May."

"But not you," Norman defended. "I tried to stop it, but I couldn't stop it. I wouldn't hurt you." Unknown to the two and even possibly himself, Norman subtly pressed a button on his left wrist, summoning his glider.

"I knew from the beginning, if anything were to happen, it's you I can count one. You, Peter Parker, would save me and your loved ones, and so you have," Norman then slowly stood up, offering his hands to Peter. "Give me your hand. Believe in me as I believed in you. I've been like a father to you. Please be a son to me now."

Without a breath of hesitation, Spider-Man looked straight in the eyes of his foe as he already knew who'd always been a son to someone else he lost, what felt like, a lifetime ago. "I have a father. His name was Ben Parker," He said with a heartfelt voice.

MJ hugged him upon hearing his words, smiling proudly for him staying true to the kind of person she believed in.

Norman's innocent expression then turned to a cold look, his Goblin persona reemerged for the last time. "Godspeed, you Spider-Freaks."

Suddenly, their eyes widened when they felt their spider-senses tinkling like crazy. As if the whole world had gone in slow motion again, Spider-Man quickly held on to MJ, both backflipped into the air as the glider just charged through from the wall behind them.

Norman had his hands out as he braced for his unfortunate, and yet, ironic demise. "Oh."

A loud sharp stab was heard as the glider stuck its twin blades against Norman's lower abdomen, making him screeched out in painful moans. Spider-Man's and MJ's eyes widened in shock at the unbelievable irony that had just occurred right in front of them.

Norman gave one more weak look at his adversaries as he was slowly succumbing to his injuries. "Peter... Mary Jane... " He tried to blurt out his one last pleading request. "... Don't tell Harry."

Finally, after letting out his one last breath, his head immediately dropped flat on his gilder, his blood slowly spilling from his mouth as his dead eyes stared into the distance.

Spider-Man and Mary Jane hugged close to each other as they lowered their heads, mourning the death of their villainous foe.

Before Spider-Man carried Norman's corpse and swung to his penthouse, he completely stripped the body of his Green Goblin armor to fulfil his promise, for Harry's sake.

He then told Mary Jane to regroup with the people at the bridge, knowing that she's not in a right position to confront with Harry if he's ever back home, which she agreed, especially with a huge chance of leading to even more bad complications around him.

As Spider-Man carefully placed Norman's naked corpse on the sofa bed, covering him up with its warm bedsheets, he looked up to notice someone entering the room. It was Harry, who had a look of hurt and anger on his face.

"What have you done? What have you done?!" Harry accused loudly, He then pulled out a nearby drawer and took out a small pistol in retaliation.

In just a split second, Spider-Man quickly sprinted to the balcony and jumped away from the Osborn Penthouse, disappearing from Harry's sight.

As he was already web-swinging off into the distance, Peter was hit with a prang of guilt when he took one quick glance to see his best friend grieving his father, just like how he felt with losing his Uncle Ben. "I'm so sorry, Harry... " He whispered grievously.

A/N: This may come off as a pessimistic and unusual Author's Note from me, but something from the recent reviewer brought to my attention.

And they were absolutely right. I feel like I was being a terrible rip-off of a writer with little to no originality to the idea I proposed. Which was why, after posting the final chapter of the first movie and credits & review room, this fanfic will be on a long hiatus until I can get a grip on how to apply my own original ideas without being a disappointment.

While I'm sure I won't be changing my stance on keeping Peter and Mary Jane as the only focus of the fanfic and some parts of the WIP drafts I have currently for Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 for crucial story reasons, I can at least try my best to take your criticisms into consideration.

To that reviewer, please don't take this as some kind of personal attack if you think I was being sour about it. I do stand by what I said in every chapters up to this point, that any constructive criticisms and comments would be greatly appreciated, and I hope I can use yours to get to be better. With all that said, I hope y'all enjoyed it.

Reviews:

CT311998: Appreciated your kind words, as always.

spideycat1702: Thanks, man.

Even if you don't really leave much words to say for this fanfic since its earlier course, knowing you have an awesome time reading it means a lot to me than you think. Never undervalue your words, as it would help me in the long run. Trust me, I had my own shares of being shy during my youth(and probably still am to this day), but I know you will be able to fight through those feelings and have no shame for being who you are, like any of us. As the wise promo once said, "Be Greater. Be Yourself."

Again, thanks for your awesome review.

DCDGojira: Thanks for your review again.

Can never know really what's really going on in the backrooms of Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures. Even thou logically they should bring in the Scorpion in (since the last time we saw him was in Homecoming and the fact Jonah and the Daily Bugle's officially a thing now in the MCU), they can easily throw in a curve ball with another villain that has yet to appear on the big screen. For now, I'm just settling with how MCU Peter will now cope with his life by himself as he was going through in college like the Lee/Romita Sr. Era.

Commander 117: Thanks, man.

And just to let you know, Spider-Man No Way Home was the second last MCU film I watched. You'd think I'd passed the opportunity to not see it, not just once, but twice on the big screen?

I do love how they handled the way MCU's Peter finally dealing with consequences of his actions for the sake of everyone's wellbeing. Part of the Peter Parker character I'll always appreciate and respect him for, no matter how much I wish his life turned out for the better(maybe in later films when he'll reunite with his MJ or maybe even meet his own Gwen Stacy. That'll makes things interesting when MCU Peter realized this was who Peter Three was talking about, adding more reason to keep his distance from everyone before realizing maybe it wouldn't be too bad to at least try have someone else in his life again, only this time, he'll make sure it won't happen again).

Also really interesting to see how much different, yet similar between these three Peter are.
