chapter fourteen•falling

Green Goblin starts releasing pumpkin bombs. He floats in the air on his glider, and Otto springs into action, grabbing bombs out of Strange's path. In the midst of all the chaos, Goblin swoops down and grabbed the box from Strange. In my opinion, there is one thing that needs to be protected more than the box.

Peter 1.

Otto grabs Norman's glider with one of his tentacles, holding him back from moving anymore. Strange grabs the box back. Meanwhile, Goblin slices through Otto's tentacle in anger. He drifts off a bit, angry that anyone would dare try and hold him back from causing chaos.

But he already has what he wanted.

Strange starts to manipulate the box with magic. But then I see the looks on the three Spider-Men's faces. They must know that something was off with their spider-sense.

Then, I realize what it is too. A pumpkin bomb is in the box. The same explosion that injured me and finished off May.

"Strange, no-" Peter starts to yell, being cut off by the explosion.

The bomb detonates, and the box explodes.

Fragments of debris hurl in every direction, and the magic from the spell within the box was released. The magic is unleashed and now unstable. Nothing good can come from this.

I wanted nothing more than to destroy the Goblin for doing this. For ruining everything in my life that was starting to come together again.

It ripples through the Captain America shield on the Statue of Liberty, and the shield breaks off and falls into the water. It hurtles through every level of scaffolding, causing an avalanche of twisted metal.

I suddenly backwards, screaming as I begin to fall backwards off the scaffolding. My heart beats quick and everything feels frozen in time. I'm terrified.

My powers... they aren't working.

I am trying my hardest to levitate and save myself, but it was no use. Why aren't they working? Was it the cure slowing down my powers, am I too tired, or am I just falling too fast through the air? Maybe the unleashed magic is tampering with me.

Either way, I a going to die. I start to close my eyes, ready for it to happen. I deserve it after all. But what about Peter? What about my new life?

I was just starting to fit in somewhere. The rage had finally left my body.

As I look up, I see  Peter 1 diving after me.

He is going to save me. Everything is going to be-

The Green Goblin flies toward Peter on his glider, slamming into him. He carries Peter off in the opposite direction. My eyes go wide in horror as I continue to plummet to the ground. This is the end.

I love you, my Peter.

Peter 3 has other plans. He swings down toward me. I feel a wave of relief wash over me as he catches me and brings me down to the ground.

My hand is on his chest. I open my eyes fully, seeing my hand on the fabric of a Spider-Man Suit. And then I look up to see a diferent Peter 3.

I gasp for air, adrenaline surging through my veins. "Are you okay?" Peter 3 asks with a sniffle.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Then I notice. Peter 3 has tears in his eyes, and he has bee. holding them back. He is deeply hurt, but also relieved at the same time. I know why. This same thing happened to him and his past lover, Gwen. She was falling just like I did, but he couldn't catch her in time and she died. Everyone knows the rest of the story.
