Spiderman retires

Chapter 10: How did we get here [1]



The rain poured violently onto the city, reflecting the dazzling lights of New York in the puddles on the ground.

The night was filled with shadows and threats, and Spider-Man, in his black suit, stood on the roof of a broken building, frozen between anger and doubt.

On the other side, Green Goblin stood on his glider, holding a gleaming sword and a glass cage containing a cloned version of Mary Jane. But on the far edge of the building, She-Hulk was sprawled on the ground, unconscious after a fierce battle that had preceded this moment.

"Where is the real Mary Jane?" Spider-Man shouted, his eyes blazing with rage.

"Oh, she's here, one way or another!" Goblin replied with a mocking tone, gesturing to the cloned version inside the cage. "This version is the best-stronger, smarter. And perhaps... more loyal."

**Flashback**

Norman Osborn stood before the glass capsule containing the altered version of Mary Jane, a clone that had become stronger and more loyal than ever before. 

Their experiments had yielded a model free from doubts or hesitation-a version that followed commands without question.

"We've succeeded in modifying her as required. She's now more loyal than anyone or anything else. Free of the emotions that could weaken her. And we've programmed her to be the ultimate weapon against Spider-Man."

A faint voice came from the shadows. "But will she always remain under control?"

Norman smiled confidently. "She has proven effective by breaking him emotionally, and I've ensured that everything is under my control. We've added advanced technology to enhance interaction and response while eliminating any chance of deviation from her path. She won't think about anything but execution."

"And what if she becomes a weapon out of control?" the voice asked again.

Norman turned his back for a moment and said, "No. That can't happen. We've removed every element of doubt or personal choice. When this clone is ready to strike, it will be the ultimate weapon, executing all our plans."

He turned back to the capsule once again. The clone showed signs of technological stimulation, green lights shimmering from within as its systems worked efficiently.

"Peter Parker will face a hell he's never known. And without even the slightest chance of winning. He won't stand a chance against such a finely tuned weapon."

The voice came again, cold and detached: "And if we fail?"

Norman smiled manically as he took one last look at the capsule. "We won't fail. This is our final goal, and this time our plan won't be defeated. We are stronger than any enemy, stronger than any force that opposes us."

The screens around the capsule lit up, showing the systems operating with perfect efficiency. The future was now within their grasp.

"Total loyalty... without resistance. This is the weapon that will bring Spider-Man down."

The voice in the shadows did not respond, but the signals were clear: Trust the plan, and don't worry about the outcome.

Norman smiled again, knowing that the game had now begun.

**End of Flashback**

At that moment, the cloned version opened her eyes. Her gaze wasn't filled with fear but with hatred. "I was an instrument, Peter," she said in a cold voice. "But now I'll show you what true deception looks like."

Spider-Man was taken aback, but before he could respond, the restraints around the glass cage shattered, and the clone surged out like an evil shadow, her eyes glowing an ominous red.

"This isn't Mary Jane!" Spider-Man shouted as he pulled back.

"Of course, it's not," Goblin said, laughing madly. "But she's the best weapon to use against you!"

The fight erupted between Spider-Man and the evil clone, who was unexpectedly fast and strong. Every movement was fueled by hatred and betrayal, and it seemed as though she knew all of his weak spots.

While fighting, Spider-Man heard a faint voice coming from the other side. She-Hulk, barely regaining consciousness, extended her hand toward him. "Peter... it's a trick... the real Mary Jane... is somewhere else..."

But her words were lost amid the chaos of the battle. The evil clone charged at Spider-Man, wielding a small sword covered in green energy. He barely managed to evade the attack, but part of the sword struck his side, leaving a deep, bleeding wound.

"Peter, is this all you've got?" the clone mocked, her face growing more cruel and sinister.

"Where is she?!" Spider-Man shouted again, now facing her head-on.

"You'll never reach her," she answered with an evil grin. "But I'll be the last thing you see."

At this moment, Goblin attacked again, striking Spider-Man from behind with glider bombs. The explosions shook the building, forcing Spider-Man to retreat once more.

"Feeling powerless now, Peter?" Goblin said, slowly approaching. "I've taken everything from you. And now I'll take your life, too."

But Spider-Man wasn't ready to surrender. Using a moment of distraction, he lunged toward Goblin, grabbing his black webbing and pulling himself toward the glider.

"This game is over, Norman!" he shouted as he yanked the glider toward him.

But the evil clone intervened again, delivering a powerful blow to Spider-Man, sending him sprawling toward the edge beside She-Hulk.

"Don't give up..." She-Hulk said weakly, reaching her hand toward him. "She's in... the underground lab..."

Spider-Man heard her words, but there was no time to think. The evil clone and Goblin were closing in on him, ready to finish him off.

"I can't let this continue," Peter said to himself, struggling to his feet. "If the real Mary Jane is there, I'll find her."

With all his strength, he leapt toward the evil clone, using his black suit to enhance his power. The attack was fierce, sending her flying toward Goblin and causing both of them to fall.

Taking the moment, he picked up She-Hulk and leapt from the building toward the street. He had to find the lab before it was too late.

"You won't escape so easily, Peter!" Goblin shouted from above as he regained his balance on the glider. "The fight isn't over yet!"
