4: The Syndicate
Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School: Cafeteria
As he enters the cafeteria feeling slightly out of place of himselfPeterencountered one table that caught his attention. Harry and Gwen sitting on the table as she called out to him
Peter Parker:(Oh man. Well here goes nothing)
Harry Osborn:He's over there
Gwen Stacy:Peter! Over here!
Peter approached the table and sits with them, with Gwen feeling hopeful things would work out while Harry feels unsure but puts a smile on his face
Peter Parker:Hey Gwen. You look great
Gwen Stacy:Thanks Peter
Peter Parker:… Harry…
Harry Osborn:Hey Pete… You okay?
Peter Parker:… I've been better
Harry Osborn:… Good to hear…
Peter Parker:… Yeah
Harry Osborn:…
Peter Parker:…
Gwen Stacy:… Um… You look good Peter… I see you've gotten slightly taller
Harry Osborn:I notice that… You've got some muscle in you as well
Peter Parker:… Uh… Thanks…
Gwen Stacy:You work out?
Peter Parker:Um, yeah I did. I know a guy and I've… been to his gym. Been working out there
Gwen Stacy:Wow… you really do look good
Harry Osborn:Never thought you would be a gym kind of guy
Peter Parker:Well there's a lot of think you don't know about me
Harry Osborn:Heh… I wonder what else you've been hiding from us
Gwen Stacy:Harry
Harry Osborn:What!? I'm just making conversation Gwen
Gwen Stacy:But still
Harry Osborn:Okay fine Gwen
Gwen Stacy:…
Peter Parker:… So… what you guys had been up to lately?
Harry Osborn:Oh you know. Just the same old boyfriend and girlfriend kind of thing
Gwen Stacy:We're thinking about having dinner at my place
Harry Osborn:I have to impress the folks you know
Gwen Stacy:So what about you Peter? What have you been up to since then?
Harry Osborn:…
Peter Parker:… Well… I'd just open up a bank account so I can put my savings in, and thanks to my pictures I might even get a bonus for it. Overall, same old stuff
Gwen Stacy:Oh. Well I see you're doing really good
Harry Osborn:Yeah you are… I guess
Peter Parker:… Thanks…
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:…
Peter Parker:…
Gwen Stacy:… So… Peter… Have you ever thought of coming back to ESU?
Peter Parker:Huh?
Harry Osborn:That's right. You left your internship a while back
Peter Parker:Yeah… I did
Gwen Stacy:Listen Peter, I know you don't feel comfortable working with Dr. Warren, but you are still the best I know as a scientist. Maybe if you like I can get Dr. Warren to accept you back in
Peter Parker:It's nice of you to consider it Gwen, but no thanks
Gwen Stacy:Why? I mean what other reasons are there for you to-
Peter Parker:…
Gwen Stacy:… Oh…
Harry Osborn:… Oh what?
Peter Parker:…
Gwen Stacy:… It's nothing Harry… Just nothing…
Peter Parker:That's right… It's nothing…
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:But hey she's right you are really good at this science stuff, and Oscorp is the main donor of ESU. You can just say the word and I can get my Mom to squeeze you back in
Peter Parker:Its… okay thanks, but really I have a job and I have to get my priorities straight
Gwen Stacy:… Oh… Okay then I guess
Harry Osborn:But Pete I can get you back in, and the internship is really good
Peter Parker:It's fine Harry I can manage
Harry Osborn:But-
Gwen Stacy:Harry, just leave it okay. It's his decision to make so we should just respect that
Peter Parker:Thanks…
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:… You're still taking pictures of him are you?
Peter Parker:Of who?
Harry Osborn:Of Spider-Man?
Harry's comment has surprised Peter as well as Gwen that he said it
Peter Parker:…
Gwen Stacy:… Harry… I thought we'd about this
Harry Osborn:I know, but still
Peter Parker:Really Harry?
Harry Osborn:You still have a fascination of him?
Gwen Stacy:Harry
Peter Parker:Are we going at this again?
Harry Osborn:My Dad died over a year ago by Spider-Man Pete, and yet you still take pictures of him
Peter Parker:I have a job Harry! That's what the Bugle pays me for!
Harry Osborn:A job taking pictures of him?
Peter Parker:A job that's actually earning me some money to pay off my Aunt May's bills
Harry Osborn:Well I don't understand why it has to be him?
Peter Parker:Look! I get what you're saying, but The Bugle wants pictures of Spider-Man so I get them those pictures of Spider-Man. It just how it is. No questions ask
Harry Osborn:Well if you have money problem then why not ask me?
Peter Parker:What!?
Gwen Stacy:Harry
Harry Osborn:Look Pete, if you got money problem then I can help you out. I'm rich so money's no problem with me. I can get you out of whatever problem you got, hell I can even pay off your Aunt's bills
Peter Parker:It a nice gesture of you, but I don't need it
Harry Osborn:Why!? So that you can get his good side of that camera of yours and get yourself some few cash?
Peter Parker:It's part of the job!
Harry Osborn:So your job is to risk your own life and get yourself killed so you can desperately earn a few buck!?
Gwen Stacy:Harry!
Harry Osborn:…
Peter Parker:… How did you know that?
Gwen Stacy:Uh-
Harry Osborn:Gwen told me. She heard what you've been doing since we last talk to you
Peter Parker:Gwen told you?
Gwen Stacy:It's-
Harry Osborn:Yeah she told me, and she even said you've been taking some assignments that almost got you like a couple of weeks back and you're still doing it!?
Peter Parker:How did Gwen know? I never told-
Gwen Stacy:…
Peter Parker:… MJ told you did she?
Gwen Stacy:… It's just… This kind of work… it's something I didn't think you would actually do this
Harry Osborn:Neither of us didn't think you would do this. The Peter we know wouldn't do this kind of thing
Peter Parker:Well I suggest you stop thinking about the old Peter, and why would you even bring that up anyway. It's not like you ever give a damn about him!
Gwen Stacy:Peter
Harry Osborn:What's that suppose to mean?
Peter Parker:You know what I mean, or have you forgotten about the last time we had our little talk together
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:… You still thinking about that?
Peter Parker:I don't know, you tell me?
Gwen Stacy:Peter! Harry! Let's just drop it okay!
Harry Osborn:Pete, I admit okay. I haven't been a good friend to you ever since my Dad died and you were still there even after everything, and now that I had time to think I realize I was a jerk to you despite you trying to help me. You were a good friend to me Pete
Peter Parker:Was a good friend, and that was until we went our separate ways
Harry Osborn:Well can you blame me for the fact that you are still taking pictures of the guy that killed my dad?
Gwen Stacy:Which was an accident, and you know why
Harry Osborn:I know that but still
Peter Parker:I don't believe this is happening again
Harry Osborn:Which is why I wanted to talk to you
Peter Parker:I get the feeling I know what this is about
Gwen Stacy:Just listen to him Peter
Peter Parker:I know what he's going say Gwen, but the answer is still no
Harry Osborn:Pete
Peter Parker:I don't need your money Harry
Harry Osborn:I don't mind okay
Peter Parker:Then don't!
Harry Osborn:Look I'm just trying to help you out Pete, maybe try patch things up
Peter Parker:So you can just treat me like a piece of crap like you did before!
Harry Osborn:What!?
Peter Parker:Are you really trying to bribe me to be your best friends again like you did before!? After everything that's been going on!?
Gwen Stacy:Peter?
Harry Osborn:No! No Pete I really mean it!
Peter Parker:Seriously you two! Why did you guys even bother calling me back if we are gonna have this discussion!?
Harry Osborn:It's not like that Pete… It's just
Gwen Stacy:We miss you Peter… We really miss you and we wanna try going back to the way things were
Peter Parker:Like what exactly!?
Harry Osborn:Like you helping me with my homework while we talk about things and we laugh about it
Gwen Stacy:Like you being my partner and we both enjoyed doing science together
Peter Parker:You mean like me being a nobody again?
Harry Osborn:That's not what we're saying
Gwen Stacy:We just want to be your friends again
Peter Parker:Look you guys, I'm not like one of those shallow people that ask his friends for money for forgiveness after spending a couple of months not saying a word to me okay!? So whatever problems I got it's my own damn business, so I don't want anybody else getting involved in my affairs or my life okay! I don't need this kind of bullshit, especially from one who after what I've been through did not even bother to stuck up for me when I needed her the most, or one that after everything that's happen is still a selfish nobody who thinks you can just solve everything with money and still be a complete prick with daddy issues!
Both Gwen and Harry are surprised by his tone as they've never heard him like this since Aunt May was in hospital
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:…
Peter Parker:Whatever you two are offering I don't need that bullshit anymore
Gwen Stacy:… Peter…
Harry Osborn:Look Pete I'm just trying to make this easy for you
Peter Parker:You both actually give a damn about me now?
Gwen Stacy:We care about you Peter, so yeah we're concerned
Harry Osborn:Look I'm sorry that I've treated you wrongly before, but I know you wanted us to be friends again and I hope we can put that behind us. I get that now and I wanna make it up to you, but you are literally exhausting yourself from this job just to get pictures of this guys, and I've seen you get worse, even getting yourself injured. I even notice you actually got a bruise
Gwen Stacy:It's just that you haven't been yourself lately, and you've been yourself lately. We're just worried for your safety, and we just don't wanna see you struggle
Peter Parker:Well maybe it's the only thing that reminds me that there are no shortcuts in life because there isn't one. And I recommend you don't make it such easy for me
Gwen Stacy:We're just trying to help you Peter
Harry Osborn:Pete, you are going to get yourself killed, and the fact that are being so selfish by keeping your own problems to yourself while there are other that are hear to help you
Peter Parker:You telling me about being selfish!? This is me growing up and trying to take responsibility. I'm being an adult here and if you don't see that then I suggest you should drop it, because I don't need some help from a guy who can weaver his pocket full of cash and thinks he can make everyone's problem disappear and couldn't understand how hard life is and reject everything else. While you ignore everything else that you should have given a damn, hell you didn't even once give a damn what Gwen wants before, as you try so desperately to get his father's approval which you will never get because in reality your Dad never wanted you because he sees me as the son he wanted instead of you. And that's why you're gonna live the rest of your life alone!
His loud tone as caused the attention to some of the student who were surprised by Peter's behavior
Harry Osborn:…
Gwen Stacy:Peter! That's a horrible thing to say!
Peter Parker:Well guess what Gwen? He needs to hear it because
Gwen Stacy:Peter!
Peter Parker:Here's my advice to you Harry. Move on and don't even think about looking back. Forget the past and just move on with your life. Or else you're gonna be held back for the rest of your life that meant nothing because you think something good will mean it happen when infact it's not. It's just some illusion that gets you nowhere because in the end there gonna be someone who will become nothing more then a bigger disappointment, and that they're gonna use you like you're nothing. So I'm sorry that my job offends you but I have nothing else to work with here, and so I would rather get myself exhausted and earn some cash rather be penniless and be some nobody for the rest of my life. And I would rather earn my money by myself, and I would do it alone because I know that the person you've cared about for the rest of your life turns out to be a waste of time. That's what they are Harry! A mistake! A Mistake you wish you should never have done with, because in the end that's what they really are!
Harry became surprised that Peter said that, but Gwen became shock as she realizes he was talking about her
Gwen Stacy:…
Harry Osborn:… Pete… I just wanna help… I just want to be friends again-
Peter Parker:You know what forget it. It's a mistake to sit here
Gwen Stacy:Peter
Harry Osborn:Pete
Peter Parker:I'll see you guys in class
Peter got up and left the table slightly mad, leaving Harry surprised and Gwen upset, with others including Flash's group
Glory Grant:Peter
Sally Avril:Did Parker just?
Randy Robertson:He did, and holy crap
Kenny Kong:Whoa. Never seen Parker like that before
Jason Ionello:Same here. I mean holy crap. Wonder what's gotten into him?
Liz Allen:… Peter…
Sha Shan Nguyen:Hope he's okay
Flash Thompson:…
Flash witness what happened and watched in concerned for Peter
Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School: Hallway
Peter was at his locker as he picked up his books and closed his locker door, until Flash appeared
Peter Parker:Flash?
Flash Thompson:Saw the melodrama at the cafeteria, hell even Liz, Randy, Sally Kenny and Gloria saw it too. Never thought you can act like a total drama queen
Peter Parker:What do you want Flash?
Flash Thompson:Oh you know, just me telling you how much of a bigger piece of crap you are?
Peter Parker:Excuse me?
Flash Thompson:Don't think I forgot what I saw
Peter Parker:…
Flash Thompson:What's going on Parker? It's not like you loosing your edge like that over cash before
Peter Parker:… That's none of your business Flash
Flash Thompson:Look whatever Harry says you can just forget it, but get real
Peter Parker:I am being real. I'm trying to be responsible, you know like being an adult
Flash Thompson:But that doesn't mean you can blow off steam like a complete jackass like that
Peter Parker:…
Flash Thompson:It's not a bad thing to ask some help for once in a while Parker
Peter Parker:And how would you know about it Flash?
Flash Thompson:More than enough that my Dad is in a hospital bed after coming back from a war that we now found out meant nothing. Just another false flag that we made a foreign country even more of a reason to hate us, while our politicians just sits in their fancy houses with their expensive food as protestors got to the streets and telling them how much they suck despite knowing none of their words will ever give a damn to them, and people like my Dad had to take this crap. But overall, he kept his spirits up or else my Mom would be worried so much
Peter Parker:This is a different situation Flash
Flash Thompson:Is it? Because that's not how I remember it. I've known you since kindergarten Peter and I know that you will be that squirmy little puny Parker that I know and give a damn, but what I did not expect was for you to change this much like this, and that what worries me
Peter Parker:You… worried about me?
Flash Thompson:What worries me is you changing into the kind of person you'll regret turning into, and you can't just distance yourself from people that actually give a crap about you
Peter Parker:Will guess what Flash. I don't need it! Not this time!
Peter turned away as he was about to leave until Flash stops him as he grabbed his shoulder
Peter Parker:…
Flash Thompson:… What happened to you Parker? Just seriously what the hell has happen to you!?
Peter Parker:Let go of me Flash
Flash Thompson:Parker. You can't just walk away thinking you can bury it, and you certainly can't shun people away that wanna help you. That's not the Peter Parker I know
Peter Parker:I know what you're doing Flash, but don't bother okay. So stop wasting time and just let me go!
Flash Thompson:Peter-
Peter Parker:Just don't… please… don't…
Flash Thompson:…
Flash let Peter go as he walks off, as he looked at him with a worried face. Peter then put on his headphones as he turned on his Osberry phone's radio, with reports of a robbery in progress in downtown Manhattan
Peter Parker:Well here's my que. Time to move
Peter went outside to change into Spider-Man costume as he swings off
Somewhere in Downtown Manhattan
St. Gabriel's Bank: Outside
Near theSt. Gabriel's Bank, police officers surround the bank as they open fire. But most of the surrounding police cars exploded. Among those in cover are George Stacy withStan Carter and Jean DeWolff
George Stacy:DAMMIT! HOW MANY SQUAD CARS ARE LEFT!?
Stan Carter:BY THE LOOKS OF IT, NOT MUCH!
Jean DeWolff:WE NEED BACK UP! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN HOLD THEM OFF!
Stan Carter:LIKE WHO!? WHO THE HELL CAN TAKE THESE GUYS ON!?
Jean DeWolff:WE CAN CALL IN A SWAT TEAM!
Stan Carter:WHAT GOOD WILL A SWAT TEAM DO!?
Jean DeWolff:WELL YOU GOT ANY BRIGHT IDEAS!? BECAUSE I'M WAITING FOR ONE!
George Stacy:CAN IT YOU TWO! THIS IS SERIOUS!
Suddenly, a squad car exploded as the blast injured more police officers, with George, Stan and Jean watched in horror.Just far away from where the incident happened a news crew was seen filming the incident, with one being Channel 7 news reporter, Whitney Chang
Whitney Chang (being filmed):This is Whitney Chang reporting to you live from downtown Manhattan were a large scale robbery is being in progress in the St. Gabriel's Bank, with dozens of NYPD officers reported in the scene trying to apprehend the culprits with no success. But what we are getting is word is a fire-breathing individual, a sonic blast man, a bouncing man, a large axe wielder, a running man, and exploding boomerangs
St. Gabriel's Bank : Inside
The robbery is revealed to have been orchestrated by Shocker, along with Ricochet, Head-Hunter, Boomerang, Scorcher, and White Dragon. The hostages are being restrained
White Dragon:HAHAHAHA! BURN BABY BURN!
Speed Demon:Dude seriously! Focus Dragon! I'm running over here!
Boomerang:How much longer chief!? I'm almost out of exploding boomerangs!
Shocker:Just a couple of minute's longer gentlemen! They'll be here! Ricochet! Are the detonations ready!?
St. Gabriel's Bank:1st floor (Above the Vault)
Ricochet:Not yet boss! Headhunters on it though
Shocker (com-link):Well get a move on! We're behind schedule!
Ricochet:Understood! Headhunters!
Headhunter:Almost ready!
Headhunter activated his axe's functions and destroyed the pillars in the room. With the space cleared, Ricochet bounced around the room as he attached the ceiling with detonators and set it to explode. Exposing the sky above
Headhunter:I am done here
Ricochet:First phase is done. Speed Demon!
Speed Demon (com-link):I'm coming
Speed Demon arrived from the scene and on to the 1stfloor and clear up all the rubble as he went back and used the debris as throwing weapons, while Ricochet set the charges to explode on the floor where the safe is. With the Vault exposed, Ricochet called it in
Ricochet:It's done boss!
St. Gabriel's Bank:Inside
Shocker:Good. Hold on for five minutes boys! Once they get here then we'll be haling the payload out of here!
White Dragon:HELL YEAH!
Shocker:Speed Demon! Finish it off!
Speed Demon:On it!
St. Gabriel's Bank: Outside
Speed Demon then dealt with the remaining police officers until he reaches to the last on, as he encounters George Stacy, Stan Carter and Jean DeWolff
George Stacy:…
Stan Carter:Oh crap
Jean DeWolff:Oh no
Speed Demon:Say goodnight you! (Twip) UGH!
Spider-Man:TAG! (Kicked Speed Demon on the face) YOU'RE IT!
Speed Demon was suddenly knocked down on the ground as Spider-Man meet with George Stacy
Spider-Man:Captain Stacy!
George Stacy:Spider-Man!
Stan Carter:Thank goodness you're here webs!
Jean DeWolff:Great. Saved by a vigilante
Spider-Man:You see any injured; you get your guys and pull them to safety! I'll handle the rest! Go!
Spider-Man web-swings to the scene as he confronts Shocker and his gang
Spider-Man:Hey there Shocky! You miss me!?
Shocker:Spider-Man!?
Spider-Man:And I see you got yourself a new boy band! So do your new Enforcers play any tunes lately!?
Shocker:The music they make will make your ears explode! TAKE HIM OUT BOYS!
Boomerang:FINALLY!
White Dragon:ONE ROAST SPIDER COMING UP!
Shocker, Boomerang, and White Dragon all fight Spider-Man, while George, Stan, and Jean try to help the injured officers to safety
George Stacy:I'm almost done at my end! Carter!
Stan Carter:I got most of them to safety! But I need more time for the rest!
George Stacy:I'll handle it! DeWolff!?
Jean DeWolff:I'm going to cuff the running guy here!
Stan Carter:Huh!?
Jean DeWolff:Not letting this guy run away!
DeWolff picked up her hand-cuffs and grabbed his arms, until Speed Demon got up and cuff her hands instead
Jean DeWolff:What!?
Speed Demon:Should have cuffed my legs instead bitch!
Jean DeWolff:(Punched on the face) OOF!
Stan Carter:JEAN!
Stan took out his gun in retaliation for Speed Demon punching Jean in the face as he opened fire
Stan Carter:I'M GONNA GET YOU FOR THIS PUNK!
Speed Demon:TOO SLOW!
George Stacy:NOT FOR LONG!
George joined in as he and Stan opened fire at Speed Demon until they were easily beaten down, which Spider-Man took notice of it
Spider-Man:STACY!
Shocker:GOT YA!
Spider-Man:HUH!? (Blast) OOF! (Landed on a police car) Ow! (Then sees Boomerang on the car) What the!?
Boomerang:EXPLODING BOOMERANG FOR YA WEB-CREEP!
Spider-Man:Oh no!
Spider-Man jumped away from the police car as it explodes, which he got caught in the blast and landed on the ground. As he got up, Spider-Man avoided a fire attack from White Dragon
Spider-Man:WHOA!
White Dragon:Damn I missed! BUT NEXT TIME I WON'T BE!
Boomerang:Oh yeah!? Let's see who hits the Spider the most!
White Dragon:You're on!
Spider-Man:Hey what the hell is this!? Hit the Spider day!? (Spider-Sense) Oh no!
Speed Demon:Oh yes!
Speed Demon appeared and rapidly punched Spider-Man
Spider-Man:AH! (This guy) UGH! (He's fast) ACK! (Faster then my spider-sense) UH! (Don't think) AGH! (I can make it) OOFF!
Spider-Man appeared knocked down as he fell on the floor
Speed Demon:HAHAHA! I WIN!
White Dragon:Hey no fair!
Boomerang:I almost had him!
Speed Demon:Can't help it that I beat your score!
Shocker:CAN IT YOU THREE! They're here!
Just then, three choppers appeared as they surround theSt. Gabriel's Bank. Two choppers dropped cables on to the hole through the ceiling as both Ricochet and Headhunter attached themselves onto the vault, which the two choppers lift it out from the bank and onto the air. Seeing as their time to go, Shocker called it in as cables from the third chopper dropped in
Headhunter:It's done! We leave!
Shocker:You heard him boys! We got what we came for, let's go!
White Dragon:What about the Spider!? We can finish him off now!
Shocker:Another day gentlemen! But the payload comes first!
Boomerang:Got it boss!
White Dragon:Fine
Speed Demon:Good work out though
Shocker, Speed Demon, White Dragon, and Boomerang attached the cables onto them as the chopper took off and carry the four villains. Spider-Man and George Stacy manages to get himself up as he sees the chopper heading
George Stacy:Agh. You're alright son?
Spider-Man:Ugh. Barely
George Stacy:The Vault! They're getting away!
Spider-Man:No. Can't let them!
Spider-Man web-swings towards the chopper in an attempt to stop them from escaping with the Vault, as Shocker took notice
Shocker:Son of a-
Spider-Man:YOU'RE NOT ESCAPING WITH THAT VAULT SHOCKER! I WON'T LET IT!
Shocker:HAH! WELL SORRY TO DISSAPOINT! YOU'RE UP BOY!
Spider-Man:What!?
Suddenly, Spider-Man encountered a familiar face he hasn't seen in a while from one of the chopper. Electro in a new black-and-blue costume
Spider-Man:Max!?
Electro:IT'S ELECTRO TO YOU WEB-FREAK! AND I JUST KNOW HOW TO OCCUPY YOU!
Electro charged his attack and open fire, but not at Spider-Man but a police car instead were George Stacy is near
George Stacy:Huh!?
Spider-Man:NO! CAPTAIN STACY!
Spider-Man web-pulled himself towards the ground as he jumped and grabbed Captain Stacy and shielded him from the explosion of the police car, taking most of the damage while sparing Captain Stacy from harm
Spider-Man:AAAAAAAAAGGHH!
George Stacy:SPIDER-MAN!
Shocker witness this while they flew off
Shocker:Nicely done Electro!
Electro:Thanks! But it sucked that I won't fry him now!
Shocker:Another day son! Another day!
The villains got away in the chopper as they take the Vault with them. In the aftermath, a worried Captain Stacy tries to wake up Spider-Man, who is currently injured for shielding him
George Stacy:Spider-Man! SPIDER-MAN! Oh god!
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:Spider-Man! You're going to be fine! I know you're stronger than this!? Get up!
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:… Peter… Peter get up. Get up son
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:Come on Peter. Please. Gwen would be so upset if you're hurt like this. I wouldn't forgive myself for this. Please Peter. You're stronger than this son… you're strong… come on son…
Spider-Man:… Ugh… Agh…
George Stacy:Pe-Spider-Man!
Spider-Man:Agh. Oww… That hurts
George Stacy:You're okay. Thank god
Captain Stacy helped Spider-Man up
Spider-Man:Agh… What happened?
George Stacy:… They got away…
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:… You did your best son
Spider-Man:… My best wasn't enough
Just then, Stan Carter appeared to have gotten up and got Jean DeWolff out of her hand-cuffs and approached Captain Stacy with Spider-Man
Stan Carter:Captain Stacy!
George Stacy:Carter! You alright!?
Stan Carter:Barely!
George Stacy:And DeWolff!?
Jean DeWolff:Agh. I'm fine Captain!
George Stacy:You alright Spider-Man?
Spider-Man:Besides the aching pain from that explosion, I'm peachy. But I was not prepared for something like this
George Stacy:None of us were, but at least we can get the hostages out
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:You gave it your all son
Stan Carter:Cheer up Spider-Man. You'll get'em next time
Jean DeWolff:Suppose if there's going to be a next time thanks to you!
Spider-Man:Huh!?
Stan Carter:Jean!
Jean DeWolff:We barely survived today and we're giving comfort tips to this vigilante!?
George Stacy:DeWolff!
Jean DeWolff:I'm sorry Captain Stacy! But too many of our guys got hurt today by those costume crooks!
Stan Carter:Which we're still standing because of Spider-Man!
Jean DeWolff:Which they exist because of Spider-Man!
George Stacy:DeWolff! Drop it!
Jean DeWolff:Why are we even defending him! He's no different then any of those costume freaks! He should be in jail because of what happened today!
Spider-Man:…
George Stacy:That's enough DeWolff! Spider-Man offered his service and he saved us!
Stan Carter:Not to mention he saved Captain Stacy's life because of him! And none of us were prepared for this!
Jean DeWolff:And how many lives will he put at risk!? As long as he's here no one is safe! And my advice for you Spider-Man! Just go away because we don't need you!
George Stacy:DeWolff!
Spider-Man:Forget it Stacy
George Stacy:Spider-Man
Stan Carter:Spidey
Spider-Man:I'm out. See ya
Spider-Man web-swings away as he thinks about what Jean said to him and what has happen today at school
Spider-Man:(Great Parker. Just what you need, more people to tell you how much of a bigger screw-up you can be. Nothing appears to work out for me ever since Norman Osborn was killed. Because of me Harry lost his Dad and her Mom is not doing enough to help him out or his Dad's company, but I'm doing the best that I can and yet it's not enough. I saved Captain Stacy today, but more cops got injured in the process, and today I just shunned the two people who wanted to be my friends again because of my ego… I shunned Gwen away from me. I keep telling myself that I'm keeping her safe by staying away from her, and that the more she stays away from me then the more she won't be apart of the life I have now… and that she would stay alive with Harry. I know he needed her because she was the one person Harry can rely on. Hell, he loved Gwen as equally as me… as I used to be… but I can't have her. I can never have Gwen knowing I would be putting her life in danger because of my selfishness, because if she stays with me then she would have gotten hurt… or worse get killed even. I can't put Gwen's life at risk anymore, and I know she would be happy with Harry in her life. I just hope Harry is the only one that will make her happy. Hell with it both Harry and Gwen are far better of if I wasn't part of their lives anymore, because the last thing I need is more drama that can make everything go wrong for them. Move on Parker, just move on and focus on what's happening right now. Those guys, I've never seen them before, but Shocker got himself a strong set of fire power and Electro is there also with a new costume. This would mean Doc Ock is planning something big is going to happen real soon. A storm is coming and New York will be engulfed and alot of people are gong to get hurt. I need to get stronger. I need more power.)
Somewhere outside New York State
The chopper arrived at a large cargo ship, where the Vault is placed. Shocker and his group got aboard as they met with their boss. Doctor Octopus, along with his associates, Wizard, Tigershark, and Rhino
Doctor Octopus:Shocker. I'm glad you've returned in one piece
Tigershark:What took you long!
Rhino:About time you guys showed up
Electro:Hey we got the Vault didn't we?
Shocker:Well we had some interruption, namely the spoiled insect that almost got in our way
Wizard:Spider-Man
Doctor Octopus:Ah yes, the accursed arachnid
White Dragon:We almost had him boss. We could have finished him off on spot
Doctor Octopus:Patience White Dragon. First we must build our army if we wish to crush the competition
Rhino:Yeah. For me to crush the spider
Headhunter:Speaking of crush, we get this Vault open? Cause I'm dying to see the goodies
Speed Demon:Definitely
White Dragon:Just a peak boss before we put it away?
Doctor Octopus:Why not. A small peak wouldn't hurt. Wizard, you mind doing the honors?
Wizard:Why thank you Octavius
Shocker:You know how to bust it open?
Wizard:Please. Why do you think they called me the Wizard?
Wizard took out some disk and placed it around the Vault door, and used his visor to unlock it using its magnet control and successfully opened it. Revealing a huge pile of money and expensive jewels
Wizard:Open sesame
White Dragon:Whoa
Shocker:Will you look at that
Speed Demon:Cha-ching
Headhunter:Hehehe
Tigershark:So much goodies
Boomerang:I am so loving this job
Doctor Octopus:Gentlemen… We have begun… The Sinister Syndicate… will soon be fully… operational
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This took me some time because I had to do alot of rewrites here, but here it is people. The Sinister Syndicate. I thought about calling it the Sinister 12, but since they'll be more villain the Syndicate just sounds better Also Electro's new costume is based on the "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" movie because it looked so much better
On another note Peter Parker shunning off Harry and Gwen. This story did take place a year, so what happened within that since then his relationship with the two have deteriorated badly, with Harry being the worst as I'll point out later in the story but since then he's been more of a loner type of character as he was in the comics. Here while Harry and Gwen try to reconcile with him Peter purposefully became a jerk to them because he believes they are far better of in their relationship if he wasn't part of their lives. To him he believes he's keeping them safe, which won't matter since I already have a plan for that to go really bad
Another thing I've added is Whitney Chang and she will serve as a supporting cast who will interact with Peter later on in the story. I've really wanted to add this character since the Amazing Spider-Man game because she's been my favorite and I hope Marvel will make her an official character in Spider-Man's supporting cast. Maybe in "Superior Spider-Man"
Next chapter is who are the people in front of Peter's house, and what I have planned is something I thought about for a while but it's going to take some time and lots of rewrites
