Y/N's POV

It has been months since the whole Green Goblin problem. High school is now done, today is our graduation. We got our certificates and pictures. I see Aunt May walk up to me.

May: I'm so proud of you, Y/N. You deserve this...

We hug each other.

Y/N: After everything that has happened throughout this year. I'm so glad it's now come to this.

I see MJ and Gwen running over to me and May.

MJ: WE FINALLY GRADUATED!!!

Gwen: Now we get to move on in our lives, time for college!

Y/N: You plan on going to college too?

Gwen: Yeah, of course. I want to be a scientist.

Y/N: That's not a bad job to have. I'll be rooting for you.

Gwen smiles.

Gwen: Thank you, Y/N, hopefully we'll be in the same classes.

Y/N: Maybe we will.

Gwen: What about you, MJ?

MJ: I want to be a actress.

Gwen: That's not a bad goal to have.

Y/N: Yeah, I know you'll be doing great.

MJ smiles.

MJ: Thanks, guys.

I see Harry hanging around by himself. He looks upset as usual. He hasn't been the same since Norman got arrested for his crimes as Green Goblin.

Y/N: I'll be right back.

I walk away from Aunt May, MJ, and Gwen to go see Harry.

Y/N: Harry?

Harry looks at me.

Harry: Y/N...

Y/N: You okay? It's the big day. You excited?

Harry: I know I should be... but I have bigger things on my mind...

Y/N: Listen, I'm sorry about your father...

Harry: No, don't be. You're not at fault.

He then has a glare look on his face.

Harry: It's Spider-Man... I promise that one day... he'll pay...

Y/N: I mean... your dad was the man behind Green Goblin. I know that's not sitting right with you. But if you ever need anything, I'll be here for you, ok?

Harry: I know my father did terrible things, but that's not like him, he should've been sent to a mental facility or something, where he could get help, and not suffering in jail.

I don't know what to say. But he looks at me.

Harry: I'm so lucky to have a friend like you, Y/N. I consider you the only family I have left...

Harry then hugs me, I hug back. But as we're hugging, I'm giving him a worried look, I'm the man he's after. I worry how he's doing mentally...

Timeskip

I am at the graveyard. I find Uncle Ben's grave.

Y/N's thoughts: I hope you're proud of me... Ben.

I then look at the two graves beside him, my parents...

Y/N's thoughts: I hope I was good enough to make you guys proud...

I hear footsteps. I look behind me to see MJ.

Y/N: Hey...

MJ: May told me I'd find you here.

MJ looks at the graves I'm by.

MJ: Thinking of them again?

Y/N: I wish they were here... to see me now...

MJ wraps her arm around me and lays her head on my shoulder.

MJ: They would be so proud of you if they were here.

Y/N: Thank you, MJ...

MJ: Of course... anytime, Y/N.

We stay silent, but I feel the need to speak up.

Y/N: Does anyone else know?

MJ looks at me.

MJ: That you're Spider-Man?

I nod.

MJ: No.

Y/N: Not even Gwen?

MJ: Your secret is safe with me, don't worry.

Y/N: Thank you.

MJ: I should be the one thanking you.

Y/N: Why's that?

MJ: I haven't thanked you for saving me... from Norman...

Y/N: You don't have to thank me, I'll always do what I can to protect you and the ones I love.

MJ smiles, and then has a look of concern.

MJ: Harry should definitely not know who you are...

Y/N: Yeah, he's not right at the moment, he wants revenge since I got him in jail. He just can't cope with how his father is now a criminal.

MJ: I hope he gets better.

Y/N: Me too.

We again stay silent, but now... I think now is the time to tell her.

Y/N: Hey... MJ...

MJ: Yes?

Y/N: Remember when we were at the hospital, and May was there. You said that you felt a special connection with me?

MJ: Yeah?

Y/N: I just wanted to tell you, I feel the same way. I think... I think I feel more... with you.

MJ smiles and blushes.

MJ: When I thought I was gonna die back there. I thought I was never gonna see you again...

Y/N: I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe... even if it means my end... MJ... I... I...

MJ cuts me off by grabbing my face and slamming her lips into mine. I kiss her back. We then pull apart.

MJ: You love me?

Y/N: Well, you kinda beat me to it, but yeah.

MJ laughs as she hugs me.

MJ: I love you too.

I have to keep her safe...

Timeskip

I am swinging around New York with my repaired suit. I am having a blast watching the city with each swing. I land on some walls and start climbing and swinging some more.

I will never forget these words...

With great power comes great responsibility.

This is my gift...

My curse...

I am Spider-Man.
