MSM 2017 Story: Secret Identities, Love Stories, Goblins, and Spiders

"Spider-Man"

POV: Harry Osborn

I was watching the news. "Apparently there is a new hero named Spider-Man swinging around the city, defending everyone in need of heroism. In fact; here's Spider-Man now!"

I saw a red and blue hero crawl up the buildings. "Spider-Man? Why aren't you swinging?" The news reporter asked. "Oh, uh... my web fluid ran out on me."

"Is there anything you'd like to say to the audience Spider-Man?" The reporter asked. "No, thank you madam. Now I gotta go." Spider-Man said. "Already?" asked the reporter

"Sorry. Personal civilian stuff. Gotta go." apologized Spider-Man, then crawling away. I realized he sounded so much like my boyfriend Peter... In fact there's Mr. Science now, texting me!

Hey Har. Sorry I'm so late to our meeting, something came up and... Yeah. I'll be there soon. 12: 05 PM

Dang it! The Meeting with Pete!

It's fine, Pete, I kind of forgot myself...
3:08

Then out of nowhere- the TV that was on turned off. I looked up and saw my father Norman Osborn. "Abomination! Abomination; that hero!" he scowled.

"What do you mean abomination dad?" I asked. "An abomination is a thing that causes disgust or hatred. And that Spider is an abomination! An abomination; I tell you!" repeated Father. "I don't believe he is," I declined.

"He is made from Raymond Warren's Spider Army, and is the first spider soldier." established my father. "I don't have time for this; I have to go meet my boyfriend, Pete." I groaned, stretching as I did so, getting up from my position on the couch.

"Tell Peter I said hi" said my father. "I will dad!" I smiled.

POV: Spider-Man (later Peter Parker)

Oh dang it Spidey! You have to go meet your boyfriend at Joe's and all you can do is just make a fool of yourself in front of paparazzi?! First things first; meet up with Har, before he loses patience and never talks to you again.

I saw Harry down on the streets, walking to Joe's. He was about to cross the road when suddenly, a car charged toward him. "I won't let my first day as Spider-man be my boyfriend's last!" I established, shooting a web and using my spider strength to block the vehicle, with it taking a lot of my strength and energy to do so. I shot a giant web at one building and another giant web at another as I used that to keep my balance so I don't absolutely make a fool of myself and clumsiness takes me over. I managed to stop the vehicle just in time for Harry to have cowered in fear, only to see me standing in front of him, in which I was completely out of energy, panting in exhaustion.

"You saved me." said Harry. "Of course Ha- I mean *ahem* young man. Of course I would save everyone in this city." I smiled. "Thanks Spider-Man! I was just going to meet my boyfriend over a this restaurant. If you want you can change out of your costume, and-"

"What? No! I can't do that!" I said in disbelief. "What? Why? The Avengers let everyone know who they are." asked Harry. "It's called a 'secret identity' and 'protecting the people you love' because if anyone found out about my secret identity everything I know and love can be destroyed, so... sorry. Have fun with your boyfriend." I waved bye at him, before shooting a web.

"Bye!" called Harry.

When I got to an alleyway, I sighed in relief. No one got hurt from my webs or that racing car. I would never forgive myself if even one innocent person got injured and|or murdered. Especially Harry, or Anya, or Gwen, or Miles, or even Max.

"Tell me I didn't make a fool of myself..." I muttered to myself, slowly getting off the costume and changing into Peter Parker, then walking towards Joe's.

"What... a...day"
