I LOVE YOU

PETER

We wake up, the sun shining through the stained glass on the roof of the tower. I notice that Gwen isn't in the bed. I glance around, not seeing her. 'Okay, she's gotta be pulling a trick.' I think. Hmm, where would she be? As I get up to look for her, I notice a note on her pillow. It reads "Spiderman, your loved one is with me. Meet me at 12:00 noon at the Brooklyn Bridge if you want to see her again. You don't give people hope, you take it away. So I'm going to take away yours. See you soon, spidey.
Signed,
Harry Osborn/Green Goblin
I'm officially panicking, my brain going into overdrive and sending adrenaline to my muscles. I pace the tower, not sure what to do. Harry?! What? I...I refused to give him my blood but...that was supposed to save him, he doesn't understand! Oh no, Gwen! I knew I shouldn't have...I should've listened to her dad and stayed away! But...I can't! I love her so much. I've got to save her! But I can't yet, it's only 10 a.m. I decide to go and tell Helen. I swing back to the apartment and walk in. Helen is awake and drinking coffee on the couch. "Helen! Hey!" I say, frantically trying to hold my panic down. "Hi Peter! Where's Gwen?" She asks cheerily. "Um, Ms. Stacy, she's been, ah, kid-kidnapped..." I stutter. Her face falls and she covers her mouth with a hand. I quickly try to explain. "Harry, Harry Osborn found us, I was asleep, he must have taken her...here here's the note." I give the nite to her to read. After she finishes she says "you're going to save her right?" "Yes! Of course Ms. Stacy! I'll die trying if I have to!" "It's Helen Peter. No need for Ms. Stacy. Well, you better get going. It's almost time." She says. I glance at the clock. 11:30. "You're right. I'll come back with Gwen, or not at all." I say as I take my clothes off to reveal my suit underneath. I then leap out the window and begin to swing towards the bridge. When the bridge comes into view, I see a figure on a glider approach the top and land. I swing towards Harry and land across the bridge from them. Gwen has her hands tied behind her back and her mouth gagged. Her eyes are frantic and she looks scared. Harry has a maniacal smile on his face and sneers at me. "So, Spiderman. You refused to give me your blood. I am dying, do you realize that? I NEED your blood. You wouldn't give it to me, so I was forced to get it the hard way. Special projects. The spider venom was never destroyed. I like the new me, what about you, Peter?" "Wait. Harry, I was trying to save you. See, look what it did. You're not you, let me help you! Harry this isn't you!" I tell him. "Oh, Pete, this is me. You don't give people hope, you take it away. So I'm gonna take away yours." He says, turning to Gwen. "Gwen Stacy, Oscorp intern who works for me. Haha. Sad to think that a pretty face like yours will be destroyed." Fire flares in my stomach. "What are you going to do Harry? What do you want? What do I have to do! Tell me!" I scream, frantic to save her. "Oh, you wish it was that easy don't you, Peter. Didn't anyone tell you the price of being a hero is high? Regretting it yet? You can always team up with me, be the villain. Do whatever you want." "No. I'm not like you. What do I have to do." I ask again. "Well. Look to the other side of the bridge." He tells me. I do, noticing for the first time a bus full of children, a school bus. It's hanging from the side of the bridge by a cable. "You always have a choice, right? Well, here's your choice. Save your darling Gwen, or save the citizens. Oh, by the way this is live on the NYC broadcast. He says, pointing to a helicopter above us filming the whole thing. "You have three seconds to choose. 1......" I mentally calm myself and think of what I'm going to do. "2......." I have a plan. I crouch on my toes an get ready. "3!" He says, and releases Gwen from the side. She free falls towards the ocean, hands still tied and still gagged. He then cuts the cable holding up the bus. I jump towards Gwen and grab her, cutting her hands free and taking the gag out of her mouth before continuing to swing under the bridge and towards the falling bus full of children. I grab the cable attached to the bus with my free hand. Gwen clings onto me. "Gwen! You've got to climb down the cable and onto the bus! Please! I need a free hand! Harry's coming back around!" I tell her. She nods and begins to quickly climb down the cable. When she gets to the bus I attach the web to the cable I'm hanging from as Harry comes flying at me on his glider. I let go of the web as he's about to hit me and cling to the bottom of the glider. (The bus is now hanging from the cable which is attached to the web, which is attached to the bridge.) the glider is unbalanced and Harry is having a hard time controlling it. I web wires and pull them out, causing the glider to malfunction and quit working. I release myself from the glider and swing back to the bus, Harry and the glider falling into the ocean. I reach the bus and use my webs to pull it across the bridge and to the mainland. Once I carefully and safely evacuate the people from the bus, Gwen is the last to come out.
