Spiderman Oneshots

✯The New Villain ✯ part 2 ✯

As I'm sitting in history class, I can't help but zone out. I had enough proof to make the conclusion that Ned is Shadow, but I don't want to, everything else apart from my logic-side wants me to just ignore the signs, but I can't.

"Earth to Peter!" Ned calls and I shake my head in surprise. "Dude, I've been calling your names  300 times already!" he says in a playful tones  but his face shifts to worry. "are you alright?" Ned asks and I nod. "Yeah! I'm fine, just tired as I didn't get much sleep last night" I tell him, hoping my lie isn't too obvious. "Whatever you say Pete" he says and I shoot him a tired smile. Hopefully he bought it. 

Later that night I swung out, hoping not to meet my best friend in a fight, knowing I wouldn't be able to figth him, but him not knowing my identity, he would not hold back with killing me. I sink a couple of times in order to remove the lump forming in my throat. 

Much to my dismay, a familliar figure was running around, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I sigh and change my course to follow him, staying behind him, purposfully not catching up, in order to avoid a violent confrontation. He leeds me to an abandoned warehouse and I chuggle to myself, warehouses are seriously the most dull place to be as a villain, I would've thought Ned was better than that. I swing inside the building and stand still on the concrete floor, readying myself for the inevitable confrontation. My spider-sense alert me of an incoming danger from the top of me and I swerve to avoid Shadow trying to jump me. ned tries again with his katanas, but theres something uneager about it, maybe he wasn't mindcontrolled then, but that just made it worse, if he was mindcontrolled it ws against his will, him doing this out of free will - even if it was half-heartedly - was still him wanting to do this. I groan as a sword grazes my leg, blood slowly running down my thigh now. I still try my best to dodge and avoid his hits, not being able to fight back against my best friend. 

Ned starts to become more and more tired while I jump around, up on walls, on the ceiling and all in all not getting hit by his swords at all, I can see him getting more and more frustrated and less and less strategic with his attacks, so I lower my guard for a moment to catch my breath. Unfortunately he notices this and quickly strikes, tackling me down on the floor and then stabs me in my abdomen with his sword. 

I'm blinded by pain and my vision goes completely black for a second before it returns, I can't hear myself scream but I must be screaming, my mouth is open and the pain is unbearable, I need to force myself to stay consious. I breathe quickly and then I just feel warm, my whole body is warm and I can't feel my body at all, not the pain and I feel as if I can't move at all. 

"Ned..." I mutter under my breath, why did I have to fight my best friend of all people?

"How do you know my nickname!? How do you know who I am!?" He yells and I muster a weak smile under my mask. 
"Your name is Edward 'Ned' Leeds, your a big fan of LEGO and Star Wars, you are good at school, especially AP physics" I tell him with a choked voice and blood starts drooling out of my mouth. 
"HOW DO YOU KNOW!?" Ned yells and pushed his sword deeper down into my stomach, this shit hurts as hell and I can't help but scream as the pain grow
"Y-your bestfriends name is Peter Parker, he is also good at science, he also likes LEGO and star wars" I manage to yell in between my groans of pain as Ned twists the sword inside of me. Fuck. This shit hurts, why can't I fight back, killing him would be easy if I had just put all of my strength into the fight before this, but I couldn't do that to my bestfriend. I inhale shakily as black dots start dancing in front of me. "Tell. Me. Who. You. Are!" Ned sneers and somehow this makes me giggle, yep, I must be losing a lot of blood. "Peter has a secret, h-he's been keeping from you" I said and Ned looked intrigued, letting go of the sword, still inside my stomach "and what's that?"
"He. Is. Spider-Man. I. Am. Peter. Parker" I manage to stutter out and I pull off my mask, the sudden movement making my dizziness increase. Ned quickly pulls out the sword from my stomach and drops it on the ground.
"No! This can't be true!!" Ned yells and I manage to smile a painful smile before fainting, hoping in the moment, that he wouldn't end Spider-Man right then and there.
