{The Next Day}

You sat in J. Jonah Jameson's office, as he looked at the newspaper that was shipped out this morning. It included a picture you took of your encounter with the Goblin. The headline read:

Times Scare! Spider-Man and Green Goblin Attack City!

Of course you didn't agree with that.

JJ: The Green Goblin....I made it up myself. You think I should copyright the name? A quarter each time somebody says it would make me a fortune.

You ignore his question.

You: Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city, he was saving it from the Green Goblin.

He points at you with a grin.

JJ: You see? You said his name. That would give me a quarter.

You roll your eyes.

JJ: Now get outta here. I pay you to take the pictures not make up headlines.

You get up, and leave the office.

JJ: How many costumes freaks is this city gonna have?

Suddenly, the wall behind JJ explodes, sending him flying forward.

The Green Goblin appears on his glider. He picks up JJ by his throat.

Goblin: Jameson, you slime! Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man?!

JJ: I don't know who he is! His stuff just comes in the mail!

Goblin: You're lying! He's the one who can bring me to him!

JJ: I....I don't know who he is!

Goblin brings up his fist to punch JJ.

Goblin: You're useless!

Then, you rappel down the wall and show up at the blown up wall. You're hanging upside down by your web.

You: Settle down, you green meanie.

The Goblin lets go of JJ, and turns to you on his glider.

Goblin: Speak of the devil....

JJ: Spider-Man! I knew you two were in this together! You-

You web up Jameson's mouth before he can finish.

You: Hey kiddo, let mommy and daddy talk for a minute.

The Goblin then sprays out a vapor from his gloves, and it starts to make you lose consciousness.

You: Wh....what?

Immediately, you pass out.

~~~

You start to wake up, but you can't move your body. You're in a state of paralysis.

Goblin: You're not dead....yet.

You open your eyes, and see the Goblin in front of you. The two of you are on a rooftop.

Goblin: You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.

You: I'm not like you. You're a murderer.

You think of those Oscorp executives and the three police officers at the fair.

Goblin: Well....to each his own.

The Goblin begins to tell you about how the city doesn't care about what you do. Why bother saving them? He makes you the offer of joining him....so the two of you can be unstoppable. Or the two of you could keep battling, and possibly cause the deaths of thousands in the city.
