Scene Break
Date and time: 2004:
Location: The stage:
Peter sat in the audience section watching the play and drama where MJ does the role of a character. Mary Jane was interested in acting and always wanted Peter to watch her as she acted with talent.
MJ was unaware of Peter being spiderman therefore she did not understand why he never shows up to see her acting.
I'm not really wicked at all the male actor said to MJ as both were playing the role of their respective characters in a skit.
You mustn't think that I'm wicked he added.
If you are not, then you have certainly been deceiving us all in a very inexcusable manner MJ responded as she played her character.
MJ Noticed Peter in the audience section and felt verry happy and pleasantly surprised.
Hi Peter whispered from the audience section through his jestures and MJ responded. Both the lovers were now lost in thoughts and did not notice the reality of the audience staring at their lack of attention.
"I am glad the play anchor said in order to remind Mary Jane that she is still in her play.
No response
"I am glad the anchor whispered again
Again no response.
"I am glad a little louder this time and the anchor pulled MJ out of her thoughts and she finally paid attention.
Are you glad to hear it? the Male actor asked finally getting the attention.
I am glad to hear it MJ responded with a continued smile and satisfaction.
In fact, now you mention the subject I have been very bad in my own small way she added.
You were so wonderful that was such a great play Peter said to MJ as both of them walked on the street together. MJ was enjoying the surprise element that Peter had come to watch her play with full attention in a genuine way.
You could've told me you were coming MJ responded to Peter.
I was afraid you'd say Don't come Peter responded honestly.
You look different MJ said noticing the changes in Peter's behavioural pattern.
I shined my shoes, pressed my pants, did my homework Peter responded. I do my homework now he added.
You wanna get some chow mein? Peter asked MJ in an offering voice.
Peter l'm getting married Mary Jane responded reminding Peter about the fact that they both live in a different world now.
I always imagined you getting married on a hilltop Peter said trying to reconnect with Mary Jane.
And who's the groom? MJ asked.
You hadn't decided yet Peter answered.
You think just because you saw my play you can talk me out of getting married? MJ asked.
You once told me you loved me Peter said.
I let things get in the way before. There was something I thought I had to do. I don't have to Peter added as he explained.
You're too late MJ responded.
Will you think about it? Peter asked.
Think about what? MJ asked
Picking up where we left off Peter responded
Where was that? MJ asked.
We never got on. You can't get off if you don't get on she added.
I don't think it's that simple Peter said Of course you don't,
because you complicate things MJ responded.
You don't understand I'm not an empty seat anymore Peter responded.
I'm different he added.
I have to go MJ responded. I'm getting married in a church she added before leaving Peter behind desperate and doubtful of himself.

Dear, we agreed to put on a wedding not to go into bankruptcy Jameson said as he sat on his chair. Get some cheese and crackers, some of those little cocktail weenies he added.
Sir I got a garbage man here says he's got something you might want to see Betty said as she tried to get Jameson's attention.
If you have an extraterrestrial's head in there, you're the third guy this week Jameson said as he was not expecting anything special.
The garbage man put a box infront of Jameson and inside was the Spiderman costume.
In the original spiderman 2 timeline the garbage man brought the red blue comic accurate costume Peter had thrown away. But in this time Venom had taken the form of the black costume and ended up in the dustbin instead after being rejected by Peter for being careless and not sharing any important information about carnage.
Where the hell did you get that? Jameson asked in surprise as he saw his dream of crushing spiderman had been fulfilled.
In the garbage the Garbage man responded.
In the garbage? Jameson asked in surprise.
Thrown in the towel Jameson said. Abandoned his sad little masquerade he added.
I finally got to him. The power of the press triumphs Jameson added again in excitement as he knew that spiderman was now finally gone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, look, I think I deserve a little something for this the gabage man said as he demanded for his price.
Give you bucks Jameson responded.
I could get more than that on eBay the garbage man responded.
All right Give this man his money and throw in a bar of soap Jameson responded as he looked at the costume which he had no idea was actually as living creature disguised as a costume.
Your wife is still on that line Betty reminded Jameson. Flowers? How much? Jameson asked.

Date and time: 2004 4PM:
Peter sat in the room of his old house as he tried to deal with the fact that now Mary Jane was with someone else. He knew he was loosing her and many other thing added to the loss of his powers.
It was at this moment when he felt bad for rejecting the Venom symbiote as he realized he should have been patient and understanding towards venom instead of lashing out at his partner.
Peter was lost in his thoughts and wondering how he will get MJ back, how on earth he will make things right with Harry and most importantly how will he continue protecting the city. Peter knew he could not abandon being spiderman as it was the only way to keep Uncle Ben's teachings about responsibility alive.
Tears were now beginning to stream down his face as Peter realised what he did was what he shouldn't have done. Rejecting the symbiote out of impatience.
Peter was almost about to hit himself in disgust, when suddenly he heard a knocking sound on the door to his room.
Alerted by the sound Peter wiped his tears and dried his face. Peter got up and shoved his current thoughts about everything before opening the door.
It was Uncle Ben who had come to talk to him. In the original timeline Uncle Ben was appearing in Peter's dream to express his utter disappointment and remind Peter of his responsibility as spiderman.
However due to surviving the events of the previous fanfiction What if Spiderman got his powers from the Venom Symbiote instead Uncle Ben was alive and able to be there for him.
What is the matter Peter? Uncle Ben asked.
Its nothing Uncle Ben Peter said. Its just that a lot is going on. MJ left me, Harry is mad at me and I cant do my job properly he added.
I have just decide to give up Peter said suddenly.
All the things you've been thinking about, Peter make me sad Uncle Ben responded in sadness.
You promised me to avenge captain Stacy's death and now you are giving up? he added.
Can't you understand? Peter asked in response with tears in his eyes resembling a loss of hope. I'm in love with Mary Jane but she left me Peter added.
I have lost Harry who is hating me as spiderman because I failed to save Doctor Octavius Peter added again.
Peter, all the times we've talked of honesty fairness, justice,
Out of those times, I counted on you to have the courage to take those dreams out into the world Uncle Ben responded.
I can't live in your teachings anymore Uncle Ben Peter responded as he could no longer contain his grief. I want a to give up he added.
You've been given a gift, Peter Uncle Ben pointed out to Peter's responsibility as spiderman which he found out in the previous fanfiction What if Spiderman got his powers from the Venom Symbiote instead.
With great power comes great responsibility Uncle added Hoping that Peter will understand as the city needed its hero.
No, Uncle Ben Peter responded in a cold and disappointing voice. While you are right that With great power comes great responsibility, it also that the responsibility only stay while you still have that power he added.
What do you mean son? Uncle Ben asked out of concern.
I'm just Peter Parker Peter responded.. I'm Spider-Man no more he added as he revealed the loss of his powers to Uncle Ben who had hoped for the least worst.
Peter cried expecting Uncle Ben to be disappointed but Uncle Ben did not respond.
After a few moments of crying Peter noticed that Uncle Ben was not talking.
Uncle Ben, I am truly sorry for being a disappointment Peter said as he apologized. You have all the right to hate me he added.
Why would I hate you son? Uncle Ben asked. You may have lost that source of your power thing but it does not change who you are Peter he added.
In the Original Spider-man 2 Aunt May Had a conversation with Peter about Uncle Ben. At that moment Peter confessed That he Was responsible for Uncle Ben's death. He thought that she would be mad at him But she appreciated his honesty instead. But in this Uncle Ben The one he had conversation with instead.
you made a brave move in telling me your situation and for that I am proud of you Uncle Ben added.
But that brave move wont change anything Peter responded. It wont bring my powers back he added. I can never be a true hero Peter said as he began to see everything getting out of hand.
Yes you can Uncle Ben responded. The city needs a hero, Courageous, self-sacrificing people, setting examples for all of us he added.
Everybody loves a hero, People line up for them,scream their names Cheer for them and years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours holding hope in their hands The hope a hero brings he added again.
Peter realised that his Uncle Ben had not given up on him. He decided to look for the Venom symbiote and regain his powers. Peter knew that where he could find it.

Date and time 2004 7PM
Location: Osborn residence:
Harry sat in his room at his home. He was wondering whether spiderman was really gone or not.
I'm leaving for the night, sir Bernard said before leaving Harry alone
Harry responded. Good night, Bernard
Harry checked the newspapers to pin point how long has it been since spiderman disappeared.
Suddenly He heard some noise coming from the balcony of his house. He went to check what it was when suddenly Dr octavius's tentacle Grabbed him. Hello Harry Otto said revealing himself to have bonded with the carnage symbiote.
Otto. What do you want? Harry asked. Hold on you died ! he added as he reacted.
I am alive Otto responded. I want that precious tritium he added. But I need more of it this time Otto added again.
More tritium, are you crazy? Harry asked
You'll destroy the city! You're a hack! he added as he refused.
Otto grabbed Harry by the leg in response. He then threatened to throw him to his death. Harry panicked as he was getting scared as he did not want to die.
Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop! All right! Harry began to scream at the top of his lungs as he was getting scared.
All right, all right, all right Harry begged. Put me down We'll make a deal he added.
In the original spiderman 2 timeline Harry wanted to kill spiderman who he believed was the person who killed his dad Norman Osborn. However in this timeline Harry did not want to kill spiderman, he was just disappointed by spiderman.
He wanted revenge for a different reason. Harry had invested a big amount of money funding Doctor Octavius's fusion reactor which went as a waste because spiderman failed to prevent the destruction.
Harry was mad for that small reason which was not even a reasonable reason.
Kill Spider-Man, I'll give you all the tritium you need Harry offered.
On second thought, bring him to me alive he added as he intended to kill spiderman himself.
How do I find him? Otto asked.
Peter Parker Harry responded.
- Parker? Otto asked as he reacted.
He takes pictures of Spider-Man for the Bugle Harry responded.
Make him tell you where he is he added.
Have it ready Otto responded as he accepted the deal.
Otto got his whole body covered by the red carnage symbiote before leaving to search fo spiderman who he had no idea was gone.
With Doctor Octavius still bonded and attached to the carnage symbiote searching for spiderman as a bargaining chip what will become of Peter? Will he ever regain his powers and reunite with the Venom symbiote, will both of them really stand a chance against carnage? Or will they be helpless and watch the consequences of the fusion reactor due to being too late? Find out in the next chapter.
