Cayden's Pov

(Four days later)

It's been four days since the Unity Festival attack and I've been looking for the Green Goblin as I called him that and now everyone as they named him that on the news. But I haven't seen him since as I let go of a web and dropped down onto a rooftop ledge.

Cayden: The hell is that jolly green freak? How can I not find him? His on a glider that let out smoke every time he flies!

I pinched my nose as I tries to calm myself down until I hears my phone ring as I pulls it out and saw it was my mom calling as I answered it.

Cayden: Yeah ma?

Donna: Where are you?

Cayden: Just out. Need some air that's all. Need something?

Donna: I.....I was just checking up on you....

I was quiet a bit as my mom was being more and more protective towards me, Anthony, and the brat as I sighs a bit.

Cayden: I'm fine ma. I know uncle's death is still affecting you more than the rest of us. But I'm doing okay. Anthony is going to be fine at his job and that brat is living. All three of us are going to be okay.

Donna: O-okay. Thanks Cayden...I'm sorry for being a mess.

Cayden: It's fine ma. 

My spider sense then went off as I heard an explosion as I looked as the explosion came from the Daily Bugle.

Donna: What was that?

Cayden: Uh...Have to call you back ma.

Donna: Wh-

I quickly hangs up the phone and put it away as I runs off the ledge and started making my way towards the Bugle. After a minute or two I made it as I repel down on a web line as I saw Goblin holing J. Jonah by the throat.

Cayden: Oi green elf let go of the Jonah.

Goblin drops him and turns to look at me.

Green Goblin: Speak of the devil.

Jonah: Spider-Man! I knew the two of you were working together! I-

I fired a web at Jonah's mouth shutting him up.

Cayden: Hush now. Let the grown folk talk now. Alright?

Green Goblin: Sleep.

He then hits my with gas as my vision started to get blurry and my body started to feel weak.

Cayden: You mother.....

I felt myself drop as I passes out from the gas.

(Two hours later...)

I started to open my eyes to see I was on a roof and tries to move my body but couldn't.

Green Goblin: Wake up, little spider. Wake up, you're not dead...yet. Just paralysed, temporiarily.

I looks up and sees Goblin standing there.

Green Goblin: You're an amazing creature Spider-Man. You and I aren't so different.

Cayden: I'm nothing like you. I'm not a damn murder.

Green Goblin: Well to each his own. I chose my path. You chose the way of the hero. And the city loves you. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall or die trying. Despite everything you've done for them, eventually they'll hate you. Why bother?

Cayden: Because it;s right you fuck....

He walks over and slapped me on my head.

Green Goblin: Here's the real truth kid. There are eight million people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the fee exceptional people onto their shoulders. You and me, we're exceptional.

He got down to my level and grabbed my by the throat.

Green Goblin: I could squash you like a bug right now. But I'm offering you a choice here. Join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together, what we could create. Or we could destroy.

He then gets up and walks away.

Green Goblin: We could cause the death's of countless innocents in selfish battle again and again and again, until we're both dead. Is that what you want? *gets on his glider* Think about it hero!!

Goblin then flies away as I tries to move as I slowly got up a bit but dropped to my knees.

Cayden: Come on body. You dealt with punches from bullies and whooping from ma! You can work out this shit.

I punched the roof as I rose up to my feet stubbling a bit.

Cayden: Alright....Don't need to swing fast until it's out of my systems fully. I'm not joining that fucker even if I'm on my death bed.

I walks to the edge as I took a deep breath and let it out as I jumps and fired an web and started swinging back towards my house but in a slower pace than I usually does.
