Chapter XXIV: Reflection
July 14 2023
Gionna and her friends were at Tay's house enjoying the party as Liv was on her phone texting Ethan as he immediately texted her back saying that he's at Erikson Corporation with the police as they were investigating what the goblin stole. Gionna texted him back to take care and let her know if he needed anything. She put her phone back at her pocket and sat down on the couch as she saw someone walking towards as Gionna immediately recognized her.
Gionna was already upset as Leah began walking towards her as she had a huge smile on her face.
Leah: What's up Gionna?
Gionna: What are you doing here?
Leah: What? Can't meet my loser friend?
Gionna: Shut up.
Leah had a huge smile on her face as Gionna saw Leah's friends Robert, Nick, Natalya and CJ walking towards her as Liv was angry.
CJ: Leah, Why are you talking to this loser anyways?
Nick: Yeah Leah.
Leah: Oh nothing, I just came here to tell her that I'm better then her.
Gionna: *Sighs* Your own ego is your downfall.
Leah was staring at Gionna as she was gonna slap her until Tay grabbed her arm and pushed her as Gionna's friends were standing in front of them.
Maria: Get out now or we will beat you up.
Priscilla: And the guests are gonna watch the fight too.
Tay: Who invited you Leah? Get out of my house.
Leah: Fine, The Party was boring anyways.
Dori: Because you and your friends are here, that's why this party is boring.
Leah was upset as she told her friends to leave the party as her friends began taunting them.
Robert: Hey, Where's your other loser friend?
Leah: He probably ran away because that's what he's good at and he's a coward too.
Gionna was irritated as she slapped Leah in the face and threw water at her as she was shocked. Leah's friends helped her leave the party as the others were looking at each other.
Tay: Come on guys. Ignore them.
Chris: Yeah. . . . She's right.
Anna: If they even bother coming back. We will give them something worse then a slap.
Michelle: Damn right.
Gionna nodded as she sat down and drank some soda as the others decided to play some Mortal Kombat as Gionna was watching them.
Tay and Anna were watching the others play the game as they saw Gionna taking the controller and began playing as they spoke to each other.
Anna: Is Desmond alright?
Tay: I just texted him, He hasn't responded back yet.
Anna: Probably he's busy at the bugle.
Tay: Tomorrow is the parade that Me and Gionna set up. There, I want to talk to him about something.
Anna: What is it?
Tay: I want to know what's bothering him. He hasn't been eating well and hasn't slept well. He was also sad when we asked him if he was dating anyone. I'm really worried about him.
Anna: Me too, Hopefully he can open up to us tomorrow.
Tay: I hope so too. I hate seeing him like this.
Green Goblin: Why don't you just give up?!?!
Desmond's spider senses alerted him of a danger as the Goblin threw three Pumpkin bombs at him but he immediately jumped off the platform and began swinging away as a huge explosion was seen.
Desmond jumped on another platform as the Goblin threw another pumpkin bomb on him but he dodged it as he was talking to the Goblin.
Desmond: Keep laughing, I already know who's behind that mask.
Green Goblin: We all wear masks Spider man but which one is real? The one that hides our face or the one that is our face.
Desmond was angry as he shot multiple cobwebs at the Goblin but he dodged the attack as he threw four Pumpkin daggers at the spider but he dodged them as he continued swinging.
Desmond dodged another pumpkin bomb as he was standing on the railing as he spoke to the Goblin.
Desmond: I know your Magnus Erikson.
Green Goblin: *Laughs* Am I?
Green Goblin: Impressive webbing. Now try this!
Desmond was confused until he saw the glider aiming a weapon at him as it began shooting at him as Desmond dodged the attacks.
Desmond continued swinging around the refinery as the Goblin was chasing him as he continued shooting at him as The Spider was dodging the attacks.
The Goblin continued shooting at him as Desmond continued dodging the attacks as he threw a barrel at the Goblin but he dodged the attack as he continued chasing him.
The Goblin saw Desmond swinging around in the refinery as he looked at his wrist and activated something.
Desmond was falling as he was moving through the derby as he tried to shoot a web line until....
Green Goblin: How do you like my gobwebs? *Laughs*
He continued dragging Desmond around the refinery as he hit multiple obstacles along the way as Goblin spoke to him.
Green Goblin: Now let's see what breaks first? My gobwebs or your bones.
Green Goblin: Well that thought is nothing. Perhaps a more drastic experiment is required.
He began flying high in the sky as Desmond was struggling to break free as the Goblin was laughing at him until he dropped the spider.
Green Goblin: Happy landing!
The Goblin watched as Desmond began free falling as he was struggling to break first until he had an idea in mind.
Desmond: This better work.
He continued falling as he hit multiple obstacles on the way down until he managed to break free as he was on the ground.
Desmond: Okay. . . . All this pain. . . At least this proves I'm still alive.
The spider heard the Goblin laughing as he threw a pumpkin bomb at him as he shot a webline and threw it back at him and then....
The glider crashed on the ground as the Goblin was holding his injured leg in pain. Desmond saw Goblin getting up as he was holding his injured leg. He tried to shoot a cobweb at him but....
Desmond: Dammit.
He immediately jumped down and tried to attack the Goblin but the goblin got on the glider and immediately flew away as Desmond gritted his teeth in anger.
Desmond: Keep running, I know where you live.
Meanwhile Otto was at the hospital as he paid the medical bill and entered a room as he saw Rosie. He was feeling sad seeing her like this. Otto sat down in the chair as he was holding Rosie's hand.
Two years have passed and she hasn't woken up, Otto was hurt and he even hated Desmond for not saving her but. . . . He was worried about him and he felt upset at himself for blaming Desmond.
Otto sighed to himself as he was holding her hand until he said something to her.
Otto: I'm so sorry. . . . .
He closed his eyes as he noticed a picture on the table. Otto picked up the picture as he looked at it.
It was a picture of Otto and Rosie standing next to Desmond holding a robotic arm as he was looking at it. When they first brought Desmond to their homes. They were teaching him everything about robotics and more. By two months, Desmond created a robotic arm and it was successful, Since then they took this picture to remember that day.
Otto felt sad looking at the picture as he put it back on the table as he was talking to Rosie.
Meanwhile Desmond made it to Magnus Penthouse as he saw the Goblin removing his mask until he saw who it was as his eyes were widen.
Desmond: Dave Crawford?
Dave: Wait, You-
Suddenly Dave was holding his injured leg in pain as Desmond was shocked. Suddenly Magnus entered the Penthouse as he saw Desmond and Dave.
Magnus: Spider Man? Dave? What are you two doing here?
Desmond: Wait your leg is fine.
Magnus: Of course it's fine. What's going on here? *looks at Dave and notices a serum on the ground* Dave. . . Where did you get this?
Desmond: Wait what is that?
Magnus: Military Performance Enhnacers. An early stage which causes split personality along with displaying psychotic and violent actions.
Desmond: Oh my God. Just like-
Magnus: Just like what happened to Norman. Why did you use the enhancers Dave? Why-
Dave grabbed Magnus as he had a sadistic smile on his face as he threw Magnus but Desmond saved him as they both looked at him.
Dave: I wanted to destroy you Magnus! I wanted to rule New York! That's why I did all of this.
Magnus: Spider man, That's the Goblin talking to us, Not Dave.
Dave's smile faded away as he was feeling dizzy as he sat down on the couch as Magnus spoke to Desmond.
Magnus: Dave is my business partner but he's also jealous of my work. When I brought Oscorp, I made sure to get rid weapons that will endanger lives. However Dave must have stole the glider along with the Goblin tech
Desmond: So he attacked Fisk and Lincoln at Cassie's Engagement party.
Magnus: Yeah, He also stole a prototype exhibitor. Probably to fight you.
Desmond: But why is Dave attacking Fisk and Lincoln then?
Magnus: I think he wants to take over as the next kingpin of crime. He had to eliminate the competition before anyone gets in his way.
Desmond: I see.
Magnus: But listen you have to let Dave go. He wasn't in control of his actions and the serum made him crazy.
Desmond looked at Dave as he began laughing to himself as he looked back at Magnus.
Magnus: I'll help Dave, I'll even destroy the weapons right now.
Desmond was thinking about it as Magnus looked at him until he sighed to himself and gave his response.
Desmond: Okay, You take care of Dave and destroy the weapons.
Magnus: Okay, Thank you.
Desmond nodded as he left the penthouse as Magnus was helping Dave.
Desmond: I guess that's the end of the Goblin. I hope it stays that way.
He immediately began swinging around the city but unknown to him, The Cloaked man was watching him as he said something to himself.
Cloaked Man: This game ends here Desmond.
