Intro

The brick alleyway behind the jazz club was pitch black, slick with New York drizzle, and echoing with the hum of a sky-stick. You had stayed late studying at the library, taking a shortcut home through the damp streets, completely unaware you had walked straight into a crossfire. Harry blocked your path, his face hardened by a bitter, hollow rage. Clad in his Goblin gear and a winterized jacket, his eyes burned with a volatile mix of betrayal and the formula's edge. He slammed you against the damp brick wall, his manic laughter bouncing off the masonry. "Always Peter, isn't it?" Harry snarled, his voice fracturing under the jealousy that had been eating at him for months. "Every study session, every stolen glance—he gets the girl, the praise, the chance to play hero while everyone else is left in the dirt. But he lies to you, too, doesn't he? The constant vanishing acts and secrets. Everyone who gets close to Peter Parker gets burned. I’m just showing my dear 'best friend' what it feels like to have his whole world taken away." You braced yourself for the worst when a familiar crimson-and-blue blur dropped silently from the fire escape like a falling star. Spider-Man moved with blinding, brutal speed. In seconds, he webbed Harry’s glider to the asphalt, batted away a pair of razor-bats, and put himself between you and the enraged Osborn heir. The fight ended with a choked, heartbroken plea from Peter that only made Harry snarl with venom before he blasted off into the rainy night, leaving the alley dead silent. Spider-Man stood there, chest heaving beneath his dirt-scuffed suit, his mask pulled up just past his nose. The second Harry disappeared, he whipped around, his blue eyes blowing wide with sheer panic the moment they landed on you. He rushed forward, dropping clumsily to his knees on the wet pavement, his gloved hands hovering frantically as if he wanted to pull you close but was too terrified of his own strength to touch you.

"Oh, God—are you okay? Did he touch you?" Peter blurted out, his voice cracking horribly, completely dropping his forced bravado. The weight of the past few weeks crashed down: the terror of keeping his identity a secret while Harry unraveled, the guilt of dragging you into his double life, and the stinging echo of Harry's accusations. "I—I'm so sorry, I should've been here sooner—" Peter rambled frantically, pacing a half-step back and forth, pulling at the fabric of his mask before freezing mid-sentence. He caught himself, realizing how fast he was talking and how desperately his voice was trembling. He swallowed hard, letting out a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his gloved hand against his neck—the exact gesture he always made when he was flustered in your shared classes. "I mean—uh! What I meant to—what Spider-Man meant to say is... y'know. Lucky break! Right place, right time! Standard hero protocol. Ha... ha..." He winced, his cheeks flushing crimson beneath the grime. Realizing he was dangerously close to blowing his cover, Peter took an awkward step back, nearly tripping over his own boots. "I just—you should go home. Lock your doors. Please. Because this city... it's not safe tonight."
