Chapter 1: Hobgoblin (Start)
Midtown High School
At school in New York, we see a normal lecture going on in science class where we see several students listening or doing their own thing but a few seats are missing. Next to one of those missing seats, we see a teen who is 18 with light red hair with the end of his bangs a bit white and grey-white milky eyes color results from limited eyesight that he inherited from his grandmother. He had a good athletic build of a runner and was not bulky. His attire was a black/red jacket with a hoodie, a white shirt, a bird-like necklace around his neck, black pants with white running shoes, and his bag with a cane nearby. On his desk were notebooks along with a pair of sunglasses to block off very bright lights.
This was Michael Darkholme, one of the students of Midtown High, who is currently in one of his science classes for extra credit.
"Lucky I have studied what the lecture would cover last night and taken some copy notes for Peter. I don't understand how JJJ can allow such odd hours for Peter when we both are still in school but granted it's a part-time job and helps with a few things. He's doing this job to help his aunt and himself. Money was never for mom and me but learning on studies and job would help with college even though I plan for online classes," Michael thought as he blinked a few times and saw what was ahead of him by a good number of feet in front of him to barely see the teacher or what's on the board to blur visions at times.
Michael remembered why Peter wasn't here due to a grand opening for one of New York's parks and JJJ needed pictures of that opening too who was doing it. That said person was the owner of several different business lines, one of the board of directors of Oscorp, and a beautiful noblewoman known as Arlecchino. A big job and those pictures can be used for the front paper.
Michael then looked to his left and saw one of his other friends was missing from the looks of it. It had been almost a week since his friend - Ned Leeds had disappeared out of the blue with no warning, no text messages, no phone calls, none of his stuff was taken, and was making everyone very worried.
"Ned is two years older than Peter and myself, close to graduating. He had gotten a job at the Daily Bugle part-time and now full-time to work on a few stories, even credit is a small one but also for his college. He was able to get us that part-time job that Peter takes pictures of Spiderman stopping crime and I work on the computers once or twice a month for updates to system security," Michael thought, being concerned for his friend and hoping he was okay.
Once the class ends, Michael would be the last to leave due to waiting for everyone else to leave, and won't have to worry about bumping into anyone.
"Mr Darkholme, you need a copy of today's lectures?" A female voice asked, being the science teacher, and got Michael's attention to see who spoke to him.
This was Martha Conners, one of the science teachers at Midtown High School who happened to show concern towards Michael's limited eyesight.
"Yes, I need to be sure I got everything done and an extra copy for Peter," Michael replied, taking some papers from Martha to look over them the best he could.
"That sweet of you but I think Peter should be more serious with his classes he's signed to than his picture job," Martha said with a small frown and saw promise within the young Parker that reminded her of Dr. Richard Parker who worked closely with her husband those years ago but it seems Peter was a bit busy and lazy perhaps.
"Yeah...," Michael frowned, understanding that as sometimes he felt a bit lonely with his first friend spending a bit more time on his job with pictures than his friends, yet wasn't mad with his friend being an airhead on certain things.
It makes some of those moments humorous to enjoy.
Then Michael noicted that Martha was getting a lot closer to him and blushed a bit when she leaned down to whisper into his ear.
"If you need someone to talk to or need help, you can come to me. I could use some company from time to time and feel very lonely when my husband is at work all the time. Very lonely~," Martha whispered as her tone turned from whispers into more alluring and her eyes flashed a light red with a seductive tone to them.
"Hey, Michael! You coming!" A new voice said as the door opened and another student walked in, causing the scientist teacher to step back to snap back up to act like nothing had happend.
Michael blinked and blushed but shook it off and turned his head to see a fellow student coming forward to know who was due to the certain blonde hair color. She had long blonde hair with the bangs at the end light pink and stunning blue-colored eyes while a figure that was growing yet eye-catching thanks to her gymnast & showing her agility to strike with her beauty. She wore a black shirt, green jacket, purple pants, and black shoes while carrying her bag over her shoulders.
This was Gwen Stacy, a classmate and friend of Michael & Peter.
"You ready Michael? We got lunch together," Gwen reminded her redhead friend.
"Oh, sure!" Michael nodded his head, gathering his stuff, and was able to see Martha winked at him before stepping out of his limited vision.
Michael blinked a few times and shook his head off the blush on his face, putting his stuff away in his bag and walking with Gwen out of the classroom.
"Dr. Conners seems a bit more in classes of late," Gwen commented.
"Yes, but I wonder if Dr. Curt Conners is okay. We haven't seen him in classes or lectures of late," Michael said, recalling how Curt usually does the lectures and has been pushing that aside to let Martha do the lectures.
"Oh? I heard he's working on some new projects at Oscorp with Ms Osborn," Gwen informed, recalling what her friend had told her about what Dr. Conners was doing of late.
"Oh really? Huh, I guess that makes sense," Michael hummed on that as he used his cane to help with his walk with Gwen and down the hallways.
"Usual spot for lunch?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, please," Michael replied as he felt and saw Gwen wrapping her arm around his own and leading them to their spot on the rooftop for their usual lunchtime.
Gwen also showed a worried face and then said, "To be honest, Michael, I am worried of late."
"Oh? Worry about what?" Michael asked in surprise.
"Well, more worry about for who actually. I am worried for Peter and something isn't right. He's becoming more focused on other things and running a bit late," Gwen replied in concern for her friend of late.
"Peter has been going through some stuff for the past three years now since his...uncle died. He has been working hard and doing what he can for his aunt & himself with this part-time job. He must have gone by to set up future spots for his cameras. I'm sure after a good talk, Peter will spend time with his friends. You know how much of an airhead he can be when thinking about certain things," Michael comforted and reassured his friend, causing her to giggle at that last part.
"Hehe, true. Peter can be a nerd but also an airhead on certain things," Gwen agreed.
"Indeed...though I am worried about Ned of late," Michael said with a frown, remembering his other friend's sudden disappearance.
"Same here. You know that Betty has been calling me of late and asking about Ned. I think she's very concerned about him and needs someone to talk with," Gwen informed as the pair ate their lunch together.
Michael hummed on that as he ate his lunch and wondered about that. This relationship between Ned and Betty seems a bit more than friendship when seeing the pair talking to each other at the Daily Bugle. Nothing out of the open to say they are in a relationship but caused some eyebrows to rise in wonder.
"I can talk with Betty and check up on her," Michael said, wanting to help a friend and make sure Betty's well-being is sound rather than unstable in concern.
"Good. You are a good friend, Michael. I wish we had more people like you around in the world," Gwen smiled, happy for Michael for being a great friend and caring person to those who earned his respect & needed help.
Michael smiled and was glad to hear that.
Before another word was spoken, a sudden ring of notification popped up and got the pair's surprise as it was big news to get their attention. The pair checked their phones and their eyes widened in surprise on seeing such a big news today. A video from a news camera showed Arlecchino doing her speech on the grand opening for the park that would be rebuilt & open very soon with a shovel in hand to set up the first dig into the dirt ground. However, that peace was stopped when some madman wearing this bright orange attire with a hood, blue chainmail armor on the arms to legs, and a goblin-like appearance with glowing red eyes. That said goblin figure tried to kill the noble businesswoman before everyone with his pistol but she was pushed out of harm's way by the pair's friend, Peter himself to their surprise.
"What just happened?" Michael asked, making sure his limited eyesight was not playing tricks on him.
"It happened, Michael. Our friend, Peter, has saved one of the state's top businesswomen and one of the last noble ladies in the world," Gwen informed her friend and was very surprised by how her friend had saved the noble lady.
"It's a very shocking surprise," Michael admitted with a frown and could the pros & cons of this save that his friend had done.
"Indeed...I have no idea how his aunt or MJ would respond to that," Gwen admitted, knowing that Peter's aunt - May would be overwhelmed by this and redhead - Mary Jane in the same boat yet other things she wasn't sure.
While the surprise of his friend saving a noble lady was still there, Michael frowned when looking at the video and pictures that captured this goblin named Hobgoblin in action from trying to kill Arlecchino and later fighting against Spiderman throughout the city. It wasn't the first time since Hobgoblin had attacked as a few months the said goblin was stealing from Oscorp & attacking Ms Osborn's operations by using their weapons against his targets. Here are the strange parts, Hobgoblin escaped his first fight with Spiderman due to being overwhelmed and worn out but the second time was more aggressive up front and was thought to have died because of his glider crash against a wall that blew up. And now this goblin was back like nothing had happened & showing no signs of physical damage but fresh and ready.
Michael can think the training and viewing others from his adopted mother to read people very well. He would have to do a few things before checking on those old videos of Spiderman fighting Hobgoblin months ago and compare to this current fight. That would be later, the red-haired teen had to go check on Betty to make sure she was okay and see if Peter was fine after a close call with Hobgoblin's attack.
