Chapter XLI: Take Two
August 11 2023
The time was ten twenty three p.m. Desmond still left with more questions than answers and now. If Dave Crawford isn't the Goblin and Magnus Erikson isn't the Goblin then Who really is the Goblin? So many questions were in Desmond's mind as he continued swinging around the city. He shot another web line and continued swinging until he heard a notification from his phone. Desmond made it to a rooftop as he got his phone out and saw who messaged him.
Otto: Desmond, Can we talk?
Desmond was shocked when he saw that message. He was looking at the text as he was thinking about it. Desmond hasn't spoken to Otto since the incident at the bank. Desmond continued looking at the message as he was having memories of what happened two years ago.
He decided to respond to the message as he was gonna text Otto until he saw a phone call as it was Magnus calling him. Desmond immediately answered the phone as he spoke to him.
Desmond: What's the matter Magnus?
Magnus: Meet me at my penthouse. I may have a clue on who the Goblin is.
Desmond: Alright then.
He disconnected the call as Desmond shot a web line and began swinging towards Magnus's penthouse as he said something to himself.
Desmond: I'm getting really tired of these games now.
Meanwhile Gionna was with her friends at her house as they were eating dinner as Liv was thinking about everything that has happened in the last three days. The group noticed her as they were gonna speak to her until they heard a door bell as they looked at each other.
Thea: I wonder who that is?
Lexi: It's already late now.
Cassie: Let's go check it out.
The group went towards the main door as Maria opened the door as they were already upset by who was standing in front of them.
Michelle: What are you doing here Leah?
Leah: Look Is Gionna here?
Dori: Why? You want to make fun of her again.
Leah: No it's-
Jessica: We already know you Leah, You always like making fun of others and always pranking them.
Priscilla: There's no doubt you only showed up just to make fun of Gionna and piss us off.
Leah: Look I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to talk to Gionna.
Chris: We don't trust this.
Leah: Look I just want to check up on her. Can I please talk to her?
The group looked at each other as they sighed to themselves and let Leah in the house as she thanked them for letting her in. She saw Gionna sitting on the table as she called her name as Liv saw her and she was upset as Leah spoke to Gionna.
Leah: Look Liv, I know your already going through a lot but I just wanted to talk to you.
Gionna: *Sighs* What do you want?
Leah: First of all, How are you?
Gionna: I'm fine.
Leah: I heard about what happened to Ethan and-
Gionna: Don't talk about him.
Leah: Alright I won't talk about him.
Gionna: What are you doing here Leah? What do you want from me?
Leah was silent as Gionna was waiting for a response from her until she sighed to herself and spoke to Liv as she was listening to her.
Leah: I'm really sorry about everything I have done.
Gionna's eyes were widen hearing that from Leah as she tried to speak but Leah stopped her and continued talking to her.
Leah: I know I've done a lot of terrible things and I keep troubling you and your friends. I'll admit one thing, You were my best friend Gionna and I hate that I broke our friendship many years ago.
Gionna was silent as Leah continued speaking to her as she was listening to her words.
Leah: Despite what happened between us. You helped me at the parade when that maniac kidnapped me. I realized then I made a stupid mistake breaking up our friendship.
Gionna looked at Leah as she had a few tears in her eyes as she wiped it off as she continued talking to her.
Leah: I'm so sorry Gionna, I know you won't forgive and I understand. I just wanted to tell you this that's all.
Leah told Gionna that she was gonna leave as she was gonna walk away until Liv called her name as Leah turned around and looked at her.
Suddenly Gionna began walking towards her as she immediately hugged Leah as she was shocked and didn't know what to say until Gionna spoke to her.
Gionna: I forgive you Leah.
Leah was shocked by what she just heard as Gionna looked at her as Leah had tears falling from her eyes as she hugged Liv tightly as she hugged her back as she spoke to her.
Leah: I missed you Liv.
Gionna: I missed you too sis.
The group heard everything as they were smiling at them as Leah and Gionna smiled at each other until they heard a doorbell as they all looked at each other.
Maria opened the door as she saw Tay along with Anna, Diana and Elizabeth as she looked at them.
Tay: Can we come in?
Maria: Sure.
They entered the house as the group along with Gionna and Leah noticed them as Diana spoke to Gionna.
Diana: Hey Gionna.
Gionna: Hey there, Have we met anywhere?
Diana: You don't know me but You know my brother.
Jessica: Brother?
Cassie: What are you talking about?
Tay: Gionna, We need talk to you about something.
Gionna: What is it?
Diana: It's about my brother Desmond.
Meanwhile Desmond made it to Magnus's penthouse as he entered the house as he saw Magnus and Dave talking to each other as they noticed Ketch and spoke to him.
Desmond: What's the matter Magnus?
Magnus: I think I have a lead on who the Goblin is.
Desmond: Wait, Who is it?
Magnus: An Employee names Jeremy has been acting suspicious lately. When the Goblin stole the prototype inhibitor. Jeremy left the lab early before the Goblin attacked my company. Not only that whenever he goes somewhere, The Goblin always shows up too.
Desmond: Where is he?
Magnus: He's at 909 Barrow street, Top floor.
Desmond immediately shot a web line and left the penthouse as Magnus and Dave looked at each other before Crawford spoke to Magnus.
Dave: Come on, Let's follow him.
Magnus: If you say so.
They immediately went up to a rooftop as Dave and Magnus saw Magnus's helicopter as he got inside as Dave was the pilot while Magnus was the co pilot. Dave started the engine as he began flying towards Jeremy's location.
Meanwhile Desmond managed to get inside Jeremy's apartment as he noticed him carrying some boxes as he spoke to him.
Desmond: Leaving New York huh?
Jeremy: Spider Man? What are-
Desmond: Enough games Jeremy. I know your the Goblin.
Jeremy: What are you talking about? Who told you this?
Desmond was staring at Jeremy as he was gonna say something to the spider until.....
Desmond began coughing as Jeremy was feeling dizzy and immediately fell down on the ground as Desmond also fell down as he was struggling to get up until he heard laughter.
Desmond was holding his head as he turned around and saw the Goblin laughing at him as he looked at him.
Green Goblin: Hahahahaha You make me laugh sometimes Spider Man.
Goblin grabbed Desmond and threw him to the wall as he was struggling to get up as Goblin continued laughing at him. The Green Goblin was gonna throw a pumpkin dagger at Desmond until he saw a helicopter.
Magnus: Dave, What are you doing?
Dave: You'll see Magnus.
The gas immediately left the apartment as the Goblin activated the blade on the glider as he tried to attack Desmond but he moved out of the way as the Goblin let out a maniacal laugh and began flying around the helicopter as Magnus and Davd were looking at him.
Desmond managed to get up as Goblin began throwing pumpkin bombs at the spider but he dodged the attacks as he kicked Goblin in the face and shot two web lines on his leg and pulled him off the glider as both of them began free falling.
Desmond and Goblin began free falling as Goblin tried to attack the spider but he dodged the attack as he kicked him and shot multiple webs at him.
Desmond: So Jeremy isn't the Goblin?
Green Goblin: Jeremy? Seriously and you bought that.
Goblin broke through the webbing as he shot a laser at Desmond but he dodged the attack as both of them continued fighting each other while free falling.
Goblin pressed a button on his gauntlet as the glider began flying towards him. Goblin threw Desmond as he managed to get on the glider and began flying away but the spider shot a web line at the glider as the Goblin smiled at him and began flying faster through the streets as Desmond was holding on.
Goblin began flying even faster as Desmond was holding on as he began flying even higher as he threw three pumpkin bombs at the spider but he dodged the attack as Magnus and Dave continued following them.
Desmond was dodging some obstacles as Goblin was laughing at him as the spider was making his way towards the glider until the Goblin sliced the webline and then....
Desmond: Oh Crap, This can't be good.
He began dodging the attacks as multiple water towers began shooting at pumpkin bombs at the spider as he was dodging the attacks.
Desmond was dodging the attacks as he saw the Goblin shooting lasers at him as the spider was dodging the attacks as he continued swinging away.
Dave was dodging the pumpkin bombs as Magnus was watching the action between Spider Man and The Goblin as the fight continued to get chaotic.
Desmond noticed the Goblin was gone until his spider sense alerted him of a danger as he looked in front of him and saw ten water towers began shooting pumpkin bombs at the spider as he was dodging the attacks.
Desmond shot two weblines and boosted himself as he continued swinging away until he saw Goblins thugs pointing weapons at him as they began shooting at him.
Desmond: You gotta be kidding me.
Desmond was dodging the attacks as they continued shooting at him until he shot a webline at one thug and threw him to the other thugs as he jumped off the rooftop and shot another webline as he continued swinging until his spider sense alerted him of a another danger as he turned around and saw what it was.
Desmond saw multiple drones shooting at him as he was dodging the attacks and continued swinging until he saw the Goblin shooting multiple lasers at him as he was dodging the attacks and continued swinging away.
Desmond turned around and saw more drones following him as the fight began to get even more chaotic.
