Chapter XXVII: Breaking Point
November 30 2020
Desmond was wearing his casual attire as he was walking back home while looking at the time on his phone. It was Six Fifty two p.m and he needed to get back home fast, Otto and Rosie were worried about him and didn't hear any response from him too as he was worried of the reaction he'll get when he reaches home. It's really hard for him to balance life as Desmond Ketch and Spider Man but he's doing everything he can to balance right.
Desmond made it to his house as he opened the door and saw Rosie and Otto standing in front of him as Rosie gave Desmond a hug as they began asking questions.
Rosie: Where were you?
Otto: Are you alright?
Rosie: Did you get hurt?
Desmond: I'm fine, I didn't get hurt at all.
Desmond saw the relief spread through Otto and Rosie's face as he looked at them and continued talking.
Desmond: Sorry if I couldn't answer your messages or calls. I didn't mean to worry you all.
Otto: Desmond, When we heard about the University Attack. We had this strange feeling.
Desmond: What feeling?
Rosie: It's like. . . . . Something bad happened to you.
Desmond was staring at them as they continued talking to him.
Otto: We couldn't shake that feeling off so we tried to call you several times.
Rosie: You didn't responded to our texts and calls so we almost called the police until you came back.
Desmond: I'm sorry, I didn't mean-
Otto: It's okay kid, I'm glad your alright.
Rosie was fixing Desmond's hair as she hugged him again as Ketch sighed to himself.
Rosie: Please don't scare us again.
Desmond: Don't worry, I won't do that again.
Desmond kept thinking about those words from them, He was worried about what will happen to them if he dies? He loved Otto and Rosie so much and didn't want them to get hurt. The Words continued to get into Desmond's mind as he had a thought.
(Maybe When You Stop The Big Man, You should give up being Spider Man.)
He was thinking about that thought but however he had another thought.
(If you stop being Spider Man, Who's gonna protect New York? The People need a light in their dark world. What if Roxxon couldn't stop the crimes?)
Desmond began to have a headache as he decided to take a nap and rest up. He eventually fell on his bed as he was gonna close his eyes until he had one more thought.
(Remember To Liv, Laugh And Love)
December 5 2020
Desmond was walking through the streets of New York as he was making his way to City Hall for the press conference happening there. He was fixing his jacket as he looked at his outfit.
Desmond eventually made it to City Hall as he looked at the Press Conference that was about to happened as he was looking at his phone and the time was Five Forty Two p.m. The Press Conference eventually began as Rio was on stage giving a speech about the rising crimes in New York.
Desmond was hearing the speech until he received a text message from someone as he opened his phone and it was a message from Gionna.
Gionna: Hey, Where are you? We need to talk.
Desmond: Sorry, I'm a little busy. I'll talk tomorrow.
Gionna: Can't that work wait? We need to talk seriously.
Desmond: What's the matter? Is Everything okay?
Gionna: Desmond, You've been acting odd for the last two months. What happened to you?
Desmond: Nothing happened to me.
Gionna: Don't lie to me, You said five days ago that we would talk tonight but you didn't show up then you disappeared on me after that.
Desmond: I'm sorry Gionna. It's just I've been busy lately.
Gionna: Like What?
Desmond: Work related stuff.
Gionna: Okay I understand that but at least talk to me about it. Second of all, Are you getting into fights?
Desmond: No, I don't really pick fights.
Gionna: I've noticed you have scars in your hands.
Desmond: I was just working on some prototypes in the lab and all of them backfired.
Gionna texted Desmond as he was gonna respond to her until his Spider Sense went off as he looked around and saw nothing as he was confused. Desmond continued hearing the speech as he left the conference and changed into his Spider Man suit as he was watching the conference from the rooftop while texting Gionna.
Desmond: Look I'm sorry Liv.
Gionna: And One Last Thing, Why does Priscilla hate you so much? What did you even do?
Desmond: It's something.
Gionna: Can you tell me?
Desmond was gonna text her until a huge explosion happened on the trucks as the crowd began running away. Rio and Simon along with the guards were looking around until Desmond noticed something under the stage.
There were multiple bombs under the stage ready to explode. Desmond jumped towards them and threw all of them off the stage but Desmond was too late to save himself.
The Crowd was shocked that Desmond was caught in the explosion until more explosions began happening. In the distance some of the civilians were walking until they noticed more explosions in the distance.
Meanwhile Gionna was upset that Desmond didn't responded to her again as she sighed in anger and looked at her phone.
Gionna: And He disappeared on me again.
Gionna continued trying to call Desmond until she looked at Today's news and was shocked by what was happening. There was an attack on City Hall and it was chaos.
Meanwhile Otto and Rosie watched the news as they tried to call Desmond but it was no use. He told them that he would be at City Hall to attend the conference until the explosions happened. They were worried and scared now.
Meanwhile In A Rooftop, Desmond managed to survive the explosions as his whole suit was damaged.
Desmond was trying to catch his breath as his mask was also damaged from the explosion.
Desmond tried to get up until he heard something from the police broadcast.
Officer: All Units, We have a breakout at the Raft. The Raft is out of control, Requiring assistance.
Desmond: As If This Day couldn't get any worse.
Desmond shot a web line at the helicopter as he followed it to the Raft.
Twenty Minutes Later, Desmond made it to the Raft as he looked at his phone and saw multiple notifications from Otto, Rosie and Gionna. Desmond didn't have time to answer them as he entered the Raft main hallways and stood by the guard rail.
Desmond saw the destruction happening until his Spider senses went off as he turned around and some one kicked him knocking him to the ground as he saw who it was.
Desmond: Ah Great, Why can't Spiders and Cats get along?
Felicia: Funny.
Felicia tried to attack Desmond but he dodged the attack as he shot multiple webs at her as she dodged it.
Felicia: Don't get your goo on my hair.
Desmond: Wow, That is not PG.
Suddenly Both Felicia and Desmond saw some prisoners leaving their cells as they looked at them.
Felicia: Hey You know the rules of the nature right?
Desmond: Kill Or Be Killed.
Felicia: So How about The Spider And The Cat work together for once?
Desmond and Felicia began fighting the prisoners as one thug grabbed Desmond as another one was gonna hit Ketch until he kicked him back.
Felicia: Oooh My Kitty Senses are purring~
Prisoner: That's hot.
Desmond: You do realise I'm still here.
One Thug landed on the table as Desmond jumped up and shot two web lines on two prisoners and knocked them down.
Desmond and Felicia were looking at the prisoners as more charged towards them until Desmond hit a.....
Felicia: Your Good, I like you already.
Desmond: For your information, I have a girlfriend.
Five thugs tried to attack Desmond until he jumped over their heads and hit a...
Desmond jumped to the wall as he began shooting cobwebs at the thugs.
Desmond jumped down and looked at Black Cat as she was talking to him.
Felicia: Partner, Watch out.
Desmond's Spider Senses were going off until someone grabbed him as he saw who it was.
Felicia: Hey Scorpion.
Mac: Finally I got my hands on you. You know Kid, You shouldn't act like a hero.
Desmond shot a web at Scorpion as he was stunned until he punched him until he heard something as he turned and saw....
Desmond: Oh Great, Hey Sparkles. Miss me?
Electro shot a lightning strike on Desmond as he went flying to the other side of the prison as he saw more prisoners surrounding him as he jumped over their heads and fired multiple cobwebs at them until he dodged a knife as he saw who it was.
Desmond: Wow Spidey, Your making a lot of new friends today.
Mysterio: Hahahahaha Welcome to Hell Boy.
Mysterio shot multiple knives at Desmond as he dodged them until Mysterio used another trick.
Goblin: Squash The Spider!
Goblin: Yeah Let's kill him!
Goblin: Hurry the hell up and let's Squash him!
Desmond saw three bats shooting lasers on him as Mysterio, Electro and Scorpion tried to kill Ketch.
