"Ah, Peter. Good of you to finally join us." Otto sneered, clutching a squirming Mary-Jane in one massive claw and a more collected, wide eyed Gwen in the other.
"This is between me and you Otto! Let the girls go."
"Really poor choice of words, Parker."
Mary-Jane slipped from his grasp with a scream only to be caught by a lower robotic arm moments later. Peter stayed perched on the building; trying to figure out how to save them both. If we went to Gwen Otto would surely drop MJ to her doom and vise versa. He couldn't risk it.
"Why are you doing this? I tried to help you!"
"Help me?! You ruined me! My plans - my revenge on that asshole Norman?! I had to build new, better arms and now that their ready I'm going to destroy everything you've ever loved!"
Otto lifted Gwen higher in the air.
"If you hurt her I'll kill you!"
The villain expelled a maniacal laugh as Gwen rose higher and higher above them.
"You don't have the stones boy!"
A spray of webbing hit Otto in the face suddenly; causing his head to snap back and the wiggling Mary Jane to slip from his grasp again. A blur of black and red flew past Peter as more webbing shot from of his company; surrounding MJ and swinging her safety to a lower building. Spider-Man could only stare in confusion before returning his attention to Gwen who was holding on with everything she had.
"Didn't know you had a side kick, Spider. No matter - red was just along for the ride - we all know blonde had the key to your heart."
The masked vigilante in red and black turned his attention to Peter suddenly.
"Otto, please don't hurt her. She's.. pregnant."
Peter's voice cracked with emotion as he watched desperately as Otto's mechanical arm stopped rising and his eyes turned to Gwen. It seemed like everyone was watching her now - especially Mary-Jane who's eyes gave away everything; especially the heart broken look that she'd never have a chance with Peter again.
"Spider-Man! Now!" The black and red wearing vigilante yelled - bringing him out of his desperation as Peter flung his web into the air - swinging himself closer to Otto as his accomplice attacked - kicking the robotic man backwards on the roof top. Peter flung himself to Gwen as she fell hundreds of feet towards him; scooping her into his arms and spinning them around so he landed hard on his back.
"Ace?" Gwen whispered, pulling his mask up to look at his face. Peter groaned, opening his eyes to meet her bright blue hues - he forced a smile. "I'll always catch you, beautiful. You and mini-Gwendy."
Gwen grinned, reaching a trembling hand to touch his face.
"I'm sorry. I know this isn't ideal but we'll make it work. I love you Peter."
"Don't you dare apologize. I am a complete dick and I'll spend the rest of my life making up for it."
Gwen kisses him suddenly; causing his gloved hands to snake into her hair.
"Uh, Peter! A little help!"
Gwen looked up as the new Spider-person punched their way out of Otto's grasp.
"Shit. Forgot about them for a second. Come on." He picked Gwen up gently, throwing his webbing out to swing her down to safety before going to MJ and doing the same. Once the girls were safe on the street he turned and joined his new side kick in the fight; mostly getting his ass kicked for his trouble.
