Spider-Man 547 Universe X : Face Of Death 1 of 5
Peter Crouched ontop of the building next to the monstrous looking gargoyle looking down on the streets below. The white emblem on spiderman's black suit seemed to glow in the shadows.
It had been two weeks since he had buried his aunt who had been like a mother to him. He had beaten the Kingpin of New York to a sensless pulp.
He swore to the kingpin that he'd finish the job if anything happend to May.
Every bone in his body told him to back and finish the job. He knew that if he did, it would disrespect everything his aunt and uncle raised him to be. He thought adjusting his black mask.
The Civil war beetween the heroes was at it's end. Peter thought thinking back to Steve Rogers death. How could he have been so stupid revealing his identity to the world.
MaryJane was in worse danger then she ever was. Even if he did leave her to protect her, she would still be in danger because of her connection to him Pete thought swinging across to the next building.
Just as he reached the rooftop, a fist slammed into his face sending Spidey flying thru the air crashing into the brick wall of the building on the otherside. A familiar hum filled the air as Spidey feltlblood from his mouth seeping into his mask.
"Day dreaming again Pete! You really should watch where your going." You never know when a goblin might show up and hit you in the face."
The Green Goblin cackled, his glider hovering above him.
"Look Harry, Im in no mood for your games. Spidey shouted angrily, clinging to the side ofr the building.
"Harry Osborne you say. I must say he is a great man indeed, but I am much more than a old man with a multiple personality disorder. No, Peter Parker.
I am everything you ever feared come to life. The Goblin said laughing.
"I am going to take everything from you. Just like you did to me."
"What are you talking about?" Spidey said flinging his body towards the goblin only to be stopped by a exploding pumpkin filled with dust sending Spideys body plummeting to the cars below.
"Relax, Peter Parker. I am not going to kil you! Not yet, anyways! What's the fun in killing you if you dont suffer. The goblin shouted flying off.
A crowd of people surrounded Spideys aching body as he struggled to get up from the smashed car. Spidey Jumped up onto the side of the glass building, slowly scaling up the side of it. 'who the heck was that? Peter thought taking off his mask, using it to wipe the blood from his busted lip.
"Thats just what the world needs another Green Goblin. Peter mumbled swinging off towards his hotel.
"No, Peter. There's much more to me then Osbornes toys." The Goblin said reapearing from the shadows of the building.
Peter stumbled into the window of his hotel room calling out to Mary Jane.
"Mary Jane, Why are all the lights out?" Peter asked turning on the lights.
"Noo! Peter yelled in horror as Mary Jane lay in the middle of the room, face against the floor, bloody and beaten.
Peter rushed to his wife's side praying that she was alive.
"Peter? Mary Jane struggled to open her swollen eye.
Peter said picking up his wife and swinging out the window.
"The goblin Peter." Mj mumbled, tears flowing from MJ's eyes. Peter grinded his teeth in anger, rushing his wife to the hospital.
"You did well." Harry said congratulating the new Goblin while his new comrad entered his study taking off the pointed eared mask staying in the shadows.
"It was almost to easy." The new goblin said laughing.
"You are truly the son I never had. Harry said with a grin.
