"Caught in the Web of the Spider."

Why? Why did I make this. It's just like that time I began this whole hero business. MJ told me heroes were needed, and I spent a week perfecting my first ever pair of web shooters. A whole week. And for what? A chance?

I took my empty mug, I need more coffee. I walked into the lounge and found Ben watching the NEWS. The man was looking with his jaw open at the image displayed before him. In bright red letters it read 'Otto Octavius escapes! 10 killed in the process!'

What followed was a video of Otto rampage in thought the city, he was throwing aside cars and trucks like they were nothing.

"What is this guy?" Ben asked.

"About an hour ago, former head of Oscorp's pure energy division woke up from his coma. He was found injured after the Oscorp energy incident nearly a week ago. Doctor;s said he wouldn't have ever woken up since his brain showed reason to do so. But he did. We are getting reports that nearly 10 people have died before he finished his rampage of death. The police began a shoot out with him in public and lost him a little over ten minutes ago. If anyone sees this man, do not approach him, he is armed and very dangerous."

The footage went back to Otto yelling out, I squinted, I could barely make out what he was yelling, 'Where is my wife?!'

My eyes went wide as I gasped. "Hey Pete, doesn't this guy's arms kind of look like yours?" Ben asked, he turned around, but I was already running away, "hey! Where're you going?!"

I ran into my lap and grabbed the gun tucking it into my jeans. I took the elevator down and drove off as fast as I could. There was a chance Otto found out where Rosie was, the man was a genius, he could have just hidden for a while and do a simple Google search. Rosey's accident was all over the news, the papers reported exactly where she was.

I reached the hospital in record time. The lifts were too crowded, not enough time. I went to the stairs and ran them two at a time.

I reached the floor just as Bobbi walked in with a cup of steaming coffee. She blinked, "Parker? What are you doing here?"

"He's coming here," I told her, running to Rosey's room not waiting for her to catch up.

"What? Hey! Get back her" Bobbi threw her cup away and began to run after me. I ignored her, I reached Rosey's room, I grabbed the door and threw it open.

A metal arm lunged at my face, it's claws about to crush me when a calm voice called out, "no". The arm stopped. It slowly pulled back and turned around, "he's a friend," it nodded almost like it understood him and moved back.

Otto stood over Rosey's bed wearing nothing but a trench coat and a pair of sunglasses. The hospital gown he had underneath was covered in dirt and a little bit of blood. His arms hanged around him like tentacles, looking everywhere he wasn't.

"Otto," I whispered, slowly moving forward, "you're awake."

"Yes," he nodded before gulping, "she...is she okay?"

"A blood clot in her brain," I told him, "it's kind of ironic, if she didn't get hurt when she did the doctor's never would have found it. She's stable but-"

"-Stop right there!" Bobbi cried out as she leveled a gun at Otto, "get down on the floor! Now!"

"No!" Otto roared as he turned to her sending all his arms at her.

"Stop Otto!" I yelled jumping in front of Bobbi. The arm stopped inches away from me, my breathing quickened, fear slowly seeped away.

"Get out of the way Peter!" Otto cried out.

"No Otto, I can't do that," I told him, definitely meeting his angry gaze, "if I do that you'll kill her, and Rosey wouldn't want you to be that."

"What are you doing?!" Bobbi hissed.

"Shut up and don't do a thing, or I'll have Fury take your damn badge!" I hissed at her before turning to Otto and sighing. "Please Otto, you need to stop this. Those arms, they are messing with your head, they-"

"-They aren't doing a damn thing!" He cried out smashing one into the one next to my face. He pulled his arm out and brought it next to my neck, "you better watch your tongue."

"I saved you and your wife," I told him, "I helped you, I am your friend Otto, and now you're threatening to kill me. Would you really do something like that? Would the man Rosey married do something like that?"

Otto looked at me, his eyebrows rose behind his sunglasses in surprise. His arms started to move around his head, almost like they were talking to him. He held onto his head and shook it, "no, no that's...no! He's a good boy! He saved Rosey!"

"Fight them Otto," I urged him, "please."
