You stirred your coffee as you waited at the Cafe for Wanda to show up. You felt a bit uneasy about leaving Anya alone, but she needed to rest. Besides, you could always just have Lily stop by and check on her later. Assuming she would answer your text.

It was dark outside due to the rain. You decided to not go on patrol for the day to avoid getting soaked.

Just as you let out a yawn, someone approached your table.

Wanda: Sorry for running late.
------------
Gwen landed onto of a building but kept running. She knew this was going to happen. Knew that they were hunting her. That they'd catch up with her.

But she was sick of feeling like a coward. Of hiding in the dark. In shadows where they can pretend that she wasn't like them.

She hid behind a wall to catch her breath. She could hear him getting closer and closer. She pulled something out of her pocket and held it tightly. She looked at the object and gritted her teeth.

She was sick of knowing that the only reason they chased her at all, was because they liked to watch her run.

Gwen: Enough.

She stepped out into the open and clenched her fists.

Gwen: ENOUGH OF THIS!

She watched as the figure slowly lowered to a stop a few yards away.

Gwen: You want to arrest me for what happened to Peter Parker? Fine. I'll go peacefully. But you're going to have to come down here and hear my side first.

The figure laughed. It was cold.

???: Arrest you? Heh. Who said anything about arresting you?

Gwen's eyes widened as she watched the figure fly up. This was no average robber or the Bodega Bandit.

This was Harry Osborn.

The Green Goblin.

------------
Wanda: Are you serious?

Y/N: Yes.

Wanda: Is this you flirting?

Y/N: No.

Wanda: And why not?

Y/N: What?

You stared at your classmate confused. She really was odd.

Wanda: I mean, you are asking me for my help. And here we are, at a Cafe, just the two of us.

Y/N: Right, but that's not what I called.....

Wanda: You didn't. I texted you to meet me here. Remember?

Y/N: Right. Sorry. Uh, for now, just forget it. What did you need?

Wanda took a sip of her tea while you left your coffee untouched. You didn't really want it. If anything, you wanted to hurry and get this over with so you could get back to Anya.

Wanda: I needed your help with my research.

You raised a brow.

Y/N: Research?

Wanda: Yes. I am looking into these spider people that have been running around the city.

She was researching you and Gwen? Why? For what reason?

Wanda: You see, I am studying genetics and I wanted to see if there was a way for me to find them. I would like to ask them some questions regarding their powers and such. To see what makes them tick.

Y/N: And you think I can help?

Wanda nodded.

Wanda: The way you spoke of that Spider-Woman gave me a sense of familiarity between the two of you.

Well, yeah. She was only your adopted sister. But how did she expect you to hemp with this?

Wanda: What do you say? A favor for a favor?

Gwen was an idiot. A child who lived in a fantasy world.

She ran from Harry as fast as she could. Why? Why was she even out here? Because the truth would set her free?

The truth was that Peter turned himself into a monster, and you and her were blamed for it.

The truth is, right here right now, that it was happening again.

And there was nothing she could do to stop it. Again.

All she could do was face the truth.

Harry Osborn was back and out for her blood.

Gwen: Listen to me, Osborn. I-I know who you are, okay, Harry? I know you were there when it happened. When your friend Peter died.

Harry hovered in the air and watched Gwen as she tried to plea with him.

Gwen: I know what you think. But I swear to you that I didn't know he was that monster. I didn't mean to hurt him. To push him so hard. I...

Harry: Liar!

Gwen flinched at his voice.

Harry: He begged you! Pleaded with you! And you toyed with him. Laughed at his pain!

Harry pulled out a handle which created a blade of energy in his hand. He flew down towards Gwen who had to flip over him. She could feel the heat coming off the blade. The rain that hit it sizzled to mist.

Gwen shot out a web, but Harry threw a sharp object that sliced it so that she would fall. She managed to catch herself on the side of the building. From there, she jumped away before Harry could catch up.

Gwen: This isn't working. He isn't listening.

She landed on another building and looked around.

Gwen: Where the hell is Spider-Man?
----------
Lighting struck with thunder following closely after.

The loud sound made Anya wake up with a start. She was sweating and trying to calm down her breathing as she looked around the unfamiliar room.

She sat in your bed for a moment before she climbed out. She began to walk around the apartment, amazed by its size and the decorations.

Anya: Wow.

She suddenly stopped when she heard something on the balcony. She slowly ducked behind the corner and peeked out to see who it was.

From the balcony came a figure dressed in black with silver hair.

Lily: The least he could've done was leave the door unlocked. If that rain messes up my hair, he's paying for it.

Lily rolled her head for a moment before she looked around the empty apartment. You had sent her a message asking if she could check up on Anya. She agreed, for a price.

She wanted a second date.

Lily: Hello? Little girl? Oh, wait. He said she spoke Spanish.

She cleared her throat.

Lily: ¿Hola? ¿Alguien ahí? ¿Hola?

Lily looked around confused, before she heard the sounds of quickly approaching footsteps.

She turned around in time to see Anya running towards her at full speed with a vase in her hands. Lily ducked under the vase when it was thrown, oy to still be tackled to the ground.

Lily: Hey!

Anya said nothing. Instead, Lily watched as a web like substance appeared from the girl's fingertips. Lily was suddenly stuck to the ground.

Anya: <Who are you!? Who sent you?!>

Lily: <Our mutual wall crawling friend.> The same guy who is definitely paying me for my hair getting messed up.

Anya stared at her for a moment before she got off of her. She then tossed Lily a knife to cut herself loose.

Lily: I got it. Thanks.

She popped out her claws and cut herself free. She sat up and rubbed her wrists. She then looked up at the girl.

Lily: Say, you a spider person too?

Anya didn't respond. She just stared.

Lily: Okay, then.

Lily got to her feet and looked at her. She noticed her hospital gown.

Lily: Do you have any clothes?

The girl shook her head.

Lily: Damn, Spider. You could've at least gotten her something to wear.

She looked around the apartment for a moment.

Lily: Alright. Wait here.
------------
Gwen: So, I hate to be all blogger on you, but what is up with the hover board, middle earth, Power Rangers getup you got going on?

Harry: Is that all you do? Talk?

Gwen: Hey, the kids dig it. Spider-Woman is for the kids, yo.

Gwen flipped away from Harry's attacks before she was able to actually swing away to create some distance.

They ended up on street level once Gwen landed in an alleyway. Harry jumped off of his glider and lifted his blade.

Gwen had to admit that fighting someone who actually knew what he was doing sucked. He had all the tech, all the gear. He had every advantage. How do you even beat someone like that?

Gwen held up her fists as Harry charged at her. He swung his blade but Gwen ducked under it.

This is where it all went wrong with Peter. She was angry then. Scared. Frustrated.

Sure, the Lizard tried to hurt her friends. But that wasn't it.

She just wanted to be happy. To have fun with her powers with no real responsibility.

And she was feeling the same way now.

She grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder. The Goblin crashed into the wall which broke. He ended up inside of the building and out of the rain.

Harry pushed himself up to his feet and noticed that one of his bombs landed near by.

Gwen: Time to stop this, Osborn.

Harry looked back to the hole to see Gwen walking through. Harry just lifted his sword.

Before he could react, however, Gwen leaped over him and shot out a web towards his helmet. She ended up pulling it off, reaching his head, before she landed.

Harry didn't say anything. He just lifted his hand and clicked a button. Suddenly, Gwen's senses went off.

But it was too late.

The bomb went off near Gwen which sent her flying across the room.

Harry then pulled out a glass tube filled with green liquid.

Harry: This is the end of you, Spider-Woman. The Lizard was his science fair project. Can you believe it? Peter Parker was always a smart guy. But before he got his hands on it, Connors used it for his tests.

Harry popped open the tube and quickly chugged down the liquid. Gwen groaned as she tried to push herself up.

Harry tossed the glass aside, shattering it, before his eyes began to change.

Harry: It wasn't until my work at SHIELD brought me to SILK that I found it. They jumped at the chance to recreate Peter's formula. They rounded up some of their soldiers along with Conners. Once it was done, they let the Lizards loose on a field test. The results were delivered right to my doorstep.

Gwen: Harry....this is cray! You saw what it can do.....why? You can't....

Harry suddenly grabbed her by the throat and lifted her up.

Harry: I can! I can control it! I am in control!

He threw Gwen across the room, breaking some empty selves in the process. Gwen was knocked out by the time she hit the ground.

Harry simply walked towards her.

Harry: I was never going to beat you with my tricks. But with Peter's help, I will. He did all of this all on his own. He became special, so I will to.

Harry grabbed Gwen's mask.

Harry: I am his greatest idea come to life. His hand reaching out from beyond the grave. And now, I get to see who the one responsible is.

Harry tore off her mask, but he froze when he saw who it was.

Gwen, now bleeding from her head, laid there unconscious. Unmoving.

Harry took a step back and looked at his friend with wide eyes.

Harry: No. It can't be. No. No no no no. NOOOOOO!!!
