Spider-Man 2: With Great Power (Peter x Female Reader)

Night Terrors

3rd Person P.O.V
(Name) sat by the balcony of the apartment, listening to the police scanner. She was so tired that she didn't even realized the scanner had become muffled noises to her, as she starts to slept into unconsciousness. It wasn't long before she slump over, falling asleep and entering her worst nightmare....

(Name) was back in Otto's lab, working along side him like nothing ever happened. "Dr. Octavius!" The young intern said excitedly. "Yes?" Otto asked, turning to her with a smile. "I tune the arm's gyro to auto-orient. It'll help you maintain equilibrium while wearing them."

"(Name), that is amazing." Otto place his hand on (Name's) shoulder, like he normal does. (Name) gives a closed eye smile, feeling at peace. "But if you could do that..." (Name) open her eyes, to look at her mentor.

Her pupils shrieked as her eyes widen, and her body froze up in shock. "Why couldn't you save me?" Otto asked, with the mechanical arms hovering above his head.

The claws of the arms lunge at (Name), causing her to jump back to avoid the attack. But instead of landing on the ground behind her, the floor disappear and she began to fall into a dark void.

(Name) screams as she fell, trying to shoot a web out to save herself, but her Web shooters weren't working. Even if they did work, there's nothing to attach the webs to. Finally (Name) landed face first, into shallow water.

(Name) lifted herself out of the water, coughing, and pushing herself back to sit in the water. She looks around, seeing nothing but dark emptiness all around her. Then she look down at the water, that didn't really look like a water the more she stared at it.

The water was red... a crimson red. Suddenly it clicked in her mind when she was staring at, and leap to her feet, trying to shake the red liquid off of her. (Name) was shaken as she look down at the blood like water, that came up to her ankles. "Oh god..." (Name) held her hand over her mouth, feeling herself getting nauseous.

"I like you (Name)." (Name) look around in a panic, trying to find where Otto was. "I always have." He sounded close, but all she saw was darkness. "But now I'm not quite myself anymore... And it's all thanks to you."

"I'll fix this. I'll help you break free!"

"Always trying to shoulder the responsibility. Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You're a regular young Atlas, (Name). I'll miss working with you. I truly will."

"Please Dr. Octavius... let me help you. Stop running from me!"

"I'm not running from you. You're hiding from me."

"No.... I'm not."

"You don't want to face the monster you created. You don't want to choose between the city and me. You're a coward, (Name). A coward who rather let innocents die than fight me!"

"That's not true!" (Name) yelled. An image appeared before her. It was of that last moment she saw Otto. He knew she was Spider-Woman, and she had her web shooters on her... yet she let him get away. "Then why didn't you stop me when you had the chance?"

"I..." (Name) grab her head as she kneels over, as she begins to cry. "I'm sorry, Dr. Octavius.... I'm so sorry."

"Yes... you're sorry... and yet you let it happen. If I was really that important to you why would you let me destroy myself?"

(Name) lifted her head, looking around, trying to spot her lost friend. "I can still help you. The arms are controlling you! You can still come back."

"You mean the arms that you spark the idea of? The same arms you help create? The very same arms you help me tested and saw as our greatest accomplishment together? That hard truth is 'you' did this to me, (Name). Without you, I would have never done any of those terrible things..."

Rosie dead body appears at (Name's) feet, causing her to fall backwards in the bloody water and crawl back. "Rosie might even still be alive if it wasn't for you."

"Dr. Octavius... please stop. I didn't want any of this to happen. I just wanted to help you activate your dream. I know we should have listen to Peter... and I know I should have done more that day. But there's still hope. I'll find a way to help you. Help you take back control of your mind."

"Stop deluding yourself. You never help anyone. You are a poison, (Name). Everyone you touch suffers. I want nothing from you!"

Three figures appeared surrounding (Name), who stay sitting in the blood. The first was Rosie, bleeding from her eyes. The next was Harry, turning his back on her. And finally Mr. Aziz, ripping the sticker off of (Name's) helmet. "You're a failure! At Life, love, career! You bring nothing but pain!" (Name's) Mother appears in front of her, with a 'I told you so' look.

(Name) grabbed her head once again, hunching over and pressing her forehead to her knees. "No. Stop! I'm not giving up on you! Please just talk to me!"

"Talk about how you stood by as the containment spiraled out of control? How you did nothing when Rosie was in danger? How you still did NOTHING when I was electrocuted, destroying the inhibitor chip and fused the arms to my spine. To think I called you a friend! That Rosie and I considered you family! All you've done is destroy our lives!"

"No. Please Dr. Octavius! Please just stop!"

"I had such high hopes for you, (Name). Hopes that were just as impossible as making a Sun. You lacked will, always forgetful, always late."

"I tried. I wanted to do more but..."

"But, but, but what? Excuses! Endless excuses. I didn't take on an intern, I took on a lazy leech. A little girl playing to be a woman."

"That's not true."

"If you had turn off the reactor when you had the chance. Or saved Rosie when her life was in danger. Or found me sooner, before the arms could poison my thoughts. If you could have just EVER been there for me... maybe I wouldn't have lost myself so easily to the arms."

"But you're still in there Dr. Octavius. There's still time to turn back. Still time to heal."

"And do what? Go back to an empty lab, unable to see my dear Rosie again. Toss tennis balls with my incomplete intern? No! Now it's my time for greatness. You won't hold me back again. Stay away, (Name)! I won't be sabotage by you again!"

"Dr. Octavius? ...Dr. Octavius, please don't go. I can still make this right, please! DR. OCTAVIUS!"

(Name) jolted awake, hyper ventilating. She rip off her mask, to allow herself to breath easier, as she looks around her apartment, regaining her grasp on the world around her. She was back home, which meant Otto was still out there somewhere, unable to think for himself anymore.

(Name) looks at her Spider-Woman mask in her hand, glaring at it hard, before she toss is across the room. She wrap her arms around her legs, pressing her head to her knees, as she begins to cry into the silent night.
