Suggested by underworld_stories
Peter Parker is a college sophomore. Attacks come daily—precise, coordinated, personal. Behind it is Otto Octavius, working with Tombstone, pulling strings across the underworld. Together they form the Sinister Six: Doc Ock, Kraven the Hunter, Scorpion, Beetle, Venom- who took Flash Thompson, and the Green Goblin—Harry Osborn, broken and furious, wearing the suit again to destroy the friend he blames for everything. Peter knows it’s Harry. The battles never stop. On rooftops, in subways, through crowded streets, Spider-Man is hunted. Peter knows Flash, the strongest of them all, is also the one who can still be saved. At an Oscorp power plant, Peter pushes Venom to the brink, overloading the symbiote long enough for Flash to fight back and take control. Venom turns, standing with Spider-Man. Flash takes down Kraven and Beetle. Peter faces Scorpion alone. He remembers being a terrified freshman, nearly killed by Mac Gargan. This time, he doesn’t run. He wins. Doc Ock and Goblin remain. Peter outsmarts Otto, tricking him into destroying his own arms. Then it’s just Peter and Harry. The fight is brutal, desperate, raw. Peter talks. Harry breaks. He says he’s too far gone. Peter tells him he’s still here. They hug. The suit sparks. Burns. Harry collapses. Tombstone stands nearby, holding a switch. He planned this. Harry is dead. Peter webs Tombstone’s head and snaps his neck. Then he drops to his knees, holding his best friend, and the city goes quiet.
