Dumb, Purple, Leotard

Getting back to the lunchroom, I see Flash and Kenny looking over, before instantly looking back seeing me glare at them. Then I brought over Aleksei to Gwen's table, she seems pretty accepting and cool about everything so she and him would well together as friends.

"Hey Gwen. sorry I took awhile, but look! I've charmed yet another person into becoming my friend!" I said proudly, before they both shared a look.

"Anyways! Gwen, this is Aleksei, Aleksei, Gwen." I introduced them to each other.

"Hey, nice to meet you. Another victim I see?" Gwen says while offering a hand across the table.

"Nice to meet you too. And sadly yes, but also it keeps guys like Flash off my back, so I don't really mind being a victim." Aleksei said while taking her hand.

"Hey! You're not a 'victim'! I don't have 'victims'! I've never 'victimized' anybody!" I said exasperated, to which they shared another look, and laughed, though I hope not at me.

But it brought a smile to my face, after all Ben always taught me to help others, and that with great power came great responsibility. Sure my time in a gang may have twisted me and taken a lot of that away from me, but in the end it was for family, so I'd gladly do it again. And this is kinda my repentance for that time, even if only to make me feel better about myself, it still helps someone in the end, so it's fine, right?

The day went on, I was able to very smoothly get Gwen's number, totally, and work went on as usual, except Gwen being there. And when came time for my shift to come to an end, I yet again only walked Gwen out the building before deciding to go work on the glider. Sure Norman gave us time off, but it's like my baby, along with the OZ formula, and I'm sure the other guys felt the same.

Going down, I hear the jet engine of the glider on, surprising me, but I hurry on down. I arrive to the sight of a grotesque green, goblin? In some dumb purple leotard with a man purse. I see the place thrashed, a scientist thrown off to the side, all our formula and equipment minus the glider he's on, gone. With what also seemed to be all our notes on fire.

"Who the hell are you?!" I yell, getting his attention. He then flew over, before glowering at me from above where I can't reach. I see a certain tongue come out the glider though as he lowers, and I immediately ran under and behind him, knowing it's knockout gas. But surprising me, he instantly turns the glider, smacking me in the head as everything turns black.

Swinging ahead the cop cars, I see a figure disappear into the sky, seemingly the one who caused all this chaos, but I ignore him, civilian lives come first. Arriving at the scene, I'm surprised to see with my heightened senses Peter being wheeled out of Oscorp on a gurney with a visible injury on his head, bleeding through the bandages on it.

Quickly putting two and two together, I slingshot off in the direction of the douchebag who attacked the place I work at and hurt my friend. Hearing the APB put out on a "Green Goblin" was only a bonus.

Opening my eyes with a groan, I quickly close it again from the bright light and allow my other senses to take over for a bit.

"On other news, the search for the 'Green Goblin', who attacked Oscorp and killed a scientist while hospitalizing others, is still active." I hear from the seeming news, but ignore whatever that is as I feel a certain weight on the side of the bed I'm on. Opening my eyes again, but slowly this time, it adjusts as I see myself in a typical hospital room, fitting the sterile smell.

I also see one Aunt May, sleeping with her arms on the side of my hospital bed from a pulled up chair. Despite my reluctance, I decide to wake her up to explain why I'm here, but she does it naturally.

"Mm, Peter?" She seemingly questioned herself while slowly waking up, until she jumped awake.

"Peter!" She exclaimed while hugging me which I instinctively reciprocated.

"Hey! Aunt May, what's wrong?" I asked joyously, as she instantly pulled back.

"You forgot dear?" She asked while holding my shoulders.

"Forgot what?" I asked back, to which she then instantly pushed the nurse button, as not even a minute later one came, to only see me awake and go back. To then only come back again with a doctor in tow as they immediately started doing a check up on me.

"So tell me Peter, you don't remember anything as to how you got here?" The Doctor asked with a pen light in my eye.

"No." I answered simply as he turned it off and gave a sigh.

"It seems like you have amnesia." He explained.

"W-well what will happen then?" Aunt May asked nervously.

"I'm not sure, it seems he only forgot the reason of why he's here. You should ask him some questions about himself that would seem obvious just to make sure. But I'd recommend to not mentioning how he got here, it could simply be from the injury, or his mind locked it away to keep him safe. There's no way to tell, so let it come to him naturally, and if in a week it doesn't come to him, ease him into it." The Doctor explained to her.

"He seems completely fine, so he can get discharged tonight if he stays well. Take care." The Doctor said as he left with the nurse, and not even a minute after, this is getting old, arrived my brother and friends.

"We came as soon as we heard." Harry said, and looking at my brother out of breath, I could tell, but he instantly came and bear hugged me.

"Woah, I appreciate the love, but you're acting like I've been out for a week." I said with a laugh while I reciprocated his hug.

"You've been out since Monday bro." Flash said.

"What day is it?" I asked sheepishly.

"Thursday." Gwen answered, turning me more sheepish.

"Eh... the good thing is that I'm alive, right?" I asked, and they all sighed but I felt my brother nod in the hug, and my shirt getting slightly wet, but I ignore it.

"Alright, so what I miss?" I asked with a grin this time.
