What if the story had planned things differently for your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man? Especially the source of his powers. What if Spider-Man got his powers from the Venom symbiote instead of the radioactive spider bite? Find out in this fanfiction

 Location: Bridge:

Time: 7:45 PM

Spiderman arrived at the bridge where green goblin held MJ and a few children captive as hostages. Spiderman! the green goblin said as he saw the hero arrive. only fools like you become heroes. Tonight lets, see what you choose between love and duty.

Let die the woman you love or suffer the little children he added.

Spider-Man! Save us!

Save us! the children scream as panic consumed them.

Make your choice, Spider-Man and see how a hero is rewarded green goblin responded.

Don't do it, Goblin! Spiderman said in a loud voice.

We are who we choose to be green goblin said.

Now, choose! he added as let of the cable car full of children and MJ so they could fall to their death.

No! Spiderman screamed. Spiderman jumped and grabbed Mary Jane. He then used his organic webbing to swing to a safe spot before shooting more of his webs to prevent the cable car full of children from falling. A boat came by. Just hang in there spiderman the person in the boat said. We'll help you he added as he offered space to the children in the cable car. spiderman held on to the cable car.

The children in the cable car got into the boat. Spiderman let out a sigh of relief as the cable car was finally empty. Listen up Mary Jane he said. You have to climb down to get to the boat. No! I can't MJ responded as she was too scared to think.

Off course you can Spiderman responded. You have to trust me MJ Spiderman said in encouragement. He needed her to trust him in a life or death situation.

MJ was scared and could think. Spiderman did not want to say it but the situation was a desperate one. If not for yourself then so it be for Harry Spiderman said.

MJ realised that Harry would want her to survive so she finally agreed to it. Alright I'll do it she responded to spiderman. Good then live Spiderman responded. MJ climbed down through the webbing and landed safely into the boat without being harmed.

With MJ and the children in a safe position spiderman could finally focus on the green goblin. So you saved them all the goblin said in his menacing voice. Impressive as always, he added.

Spiderman swung his way and landed in front of the green goblin. The green goblin threw his pumpkin bombs at spiderman but spiderman dodged them all. He then shot his webs toward green goblin.

The webs landed on the villain's helmet temporarily blinding him. The goblin pulled the webs off his face but before he could regain focus spiderman packed a two-legged kick to the stomach knocking the lunatic off the glider.

The green goblin summoned his glider to himself and regained focus as he stood again. He then charged at the spiderman and attacked him with a blade slashing his gut.

The damage was not effective as the Venom symbiote healed the wound in no time. Spiderman packed a punch, but the green goblin caught it and twisted the hand. Spiderman screamed in pain as he felt the pain. The goblin then gave him a different explosive sticking onto his right ear.

Before spiderman could analyze the object, it exploded without flames. Instead, there was supersonic sound wave. Peter's ears got hurt with the deafeningly loud noise. The Venom symbiote felt pain revealing its weakness to loud noise. Ha ha ha ! the green goblin laughed in his mad voice.

The sound wave eventually wore off. The Symbiote regained his focus and healed Peter's wounds. Spiderman got ready for another fight. This time the green goblin charged first and delivered a devastating punch but spiderman caught it in surprise and twisted it making the goblin scream. Spiderman snatched a pumpkin bomb from the goblin's belt and shoved it onto the villain's butt and shot web on it to stick it.

He then moved away as the explosion caused pain and damage to the villain. Ouch! my backside the goblin screamed in pain. Now that's a hot ass spiderman taunted the villain. The green goblin came gliding with the glider and used his blade.

He went for the forehead trying to slit it but spiderman avoided the brutal attack and shot his web at goblin's feet pulling him away from the glider and throwing him away.

Green goblin crashed into a building wall which was under construction. The impact of the crashing caused Norman to regain his consciousness. What have I become? he questioned himself in remorse. I didn't lose anything, I just gave everything for the sake of power and now that power has brought me here only to be pushed to the brink of madness he thought

No! Now is not the time for remorse. Now is the time to understand and focus on making things right Norman said to himself knowing that the goblin perosna wouldn't approve this act of realising the mistake. Suddenly Norman lost his mind again as the goblin personality took over again.

Spiderman arrived there to finish him off. The green goblin delivered a punch to the face which spiderman bent over to avoid before packing his own punch to the chin as an uppercut.

The green goblin regained his focus and readied his blade. Spiderman jumped at the green goblin and delivered a punch, but the villain managed to dodge and slashed spiderman's back. Again, the damage healed in no time, but Venom felt slightly more pain as small part of the symbiote fell to the ground.

The green goblin tried to stab spiderman in the chest but spiderman caught the wrist and gave a karate chop causing the villain to drop his blade. Spiderman then twisted the hand. He then picked up the goblin and slammed him to the ground.

The villain lay motionless. Spiderman picked him up and began punching him in the face. He was determined to put an end to the villain at any cost. But the determination had blinded spiderman who was not giving it a damn thought regarding the true identity of the villain he was desperate to stop. spiderman punched green goblin in the face followed by another punch. Spiderman was not stopping and didn't hesitate to cross the line.

Spiderman delivered a third punch which hit harder on the head causing Norman to snap out of it and regain consciousness.

Spiderman stop!! Norman begged. Its me Norman Osborn. Peter stopped as he realised that he was going too far. I was doing this stuff because of my evil goblin personality Norman explained. I know what I have become and that I don't deserve mercy, go ahead kill me he added sincerely getting ready to accept and face the consequences .

No Peter said. I am not going to kill you he added.

Why not? Norman asked. Because it would be the wrong way Peter responded. Also, you said that I am like Harry's brother and that makes me family and besides family does not kill family Peter said. Venom understood Peter's command and uncovered his face.

No way Norman said in reaction. See I won't kill you sir Peter said. I would rather encourage you to fight that evil personality he added as he extended his hand towards Norman to support him even in that moment of pain and suffering.

Tears came out of Norman's eyes as he was moved by spiderman's merciful ways and no kill rule. This monster can be stopped only in death Peter Norman said as he begged Peter to kill him. But Peter was not going to be a murderer as that would go against the responsibility that Uncle Ben had taught him. 

No! Peter said in a firm and serious voice. Fight he added. Fight against your inner demons and win, overcome and survive Peter said. Fight for you mind no matter what even in death even after he added trying to knock some sense into Norman.

Feeling defeated Norman accepted Peter's hand. Norman got up but sensed the goblin persona being about to take over again. If you don't kill me then I'll kill myself Norman said as he summoned his glider.

Norman caught his glider as it came and revealed 2 super sharp blades.

In the original timeline it was the green goblin who summoned the glider to kill spiderman but spiderman backflipped. However, in this timeline remorse drove Norman to attempt suicide. No Peter screamed in horror as Norman stabbed himself in the stomach hoping to die and end the green goblin. Norman felt pain and passed out.

Peter wanted to help Norman and so before the wound could get any worse he quickly removed the glider. Peter took his hand checked Norman's pulse. 

Thankfully it was still going. Not going to let you die Peter said.

Peter took the green goblin costume off of Norman's body. Alright Venom I need you to heal Norman's wounds regardless of the consequences.

Don't you think he is better off dead? Venom responded. He tried to kill MJ Venom added.

No Venom Peter responded. He did not do it on purpose he added.

Alright Venom finally agreed. Venom then quickly bonded with the now unconscious Norman and healed his wounds. Venom then bonded with Peter again.

Scene Break:

Location: Hospital:

Date and Time: 2:00 pm 2002.

Glad to see you have recovered Uncle Ben Peter said with a positive smile on his face. Uncle had recovered. Peter was extremely happy that his beloved Uncle Ben was as good as new. He knew that every that happened was finally over without any death.

Off course I would recover Peter Uncle Ben responded cheerfully. After all I have you such a wonderful nephew to be proud of for coming so far in life to be who he is he added.

It was thanks to your support and teaching that this had come to be possible Peter responded. Had you not been there I would have misused the gift I had leading to a dark path he added. 

Well then let's get going Uncle Ben responded. May is waiting he added. Right let's go Peter agreed as the Uncle nephew duo got going. Uncle Ben had finally been discharged from the hospital.

Oh, thank God you are ok Aunt may responded in relief as she was worried. Don't worry I am right here in front of you as good as new. Uncle Ben responded. You guys talk I need go see Harry Peter said before going to talk to Harry.

Hey Harry Peter said as he found his friend who was waiting to know about how his dad was. In the original timeline Norman Osborn was responsible for his own death but here in this alternate timeline/universe thanks to the Venom symbiote's incredible healing factor Norman Osborn had survived and been rushed to the hospital by spiderman leading to Harry being grateful rather than being hateful and thirsty for revenge due to misunderstanding.

How is he? Peter asked

Don't know Pete Harry responded. But I came to know that spiderman rushed him to the hospital and so I am grateful to him he added. Well, I hope thing will be ok Peter responded.

The nurse came out of Norman's room. How is my dad? Harry asked immediately.

Don't worry the nurse responded. He is out of danger now. You can visit him if you want to she added. Oh thank god Harry responded. Go ahead Harry Peter said. He needs you he added. You really don't wanna come in with me? Harry asked.

I figured it would be only polite to give both of you some privacy Peter responded. Harry appreciated the gesture. Alright will be back after a while Harry responded.

Harry entered the room. Hey dad Harry said to Norman who lay in his bed. He was worried and afraid of what hell would be brought upon the world if the goblin persona is ever to be awakened. Hey son Norman responded. Dad I am glad that you are ok Harry said.

The doctors said that I will be discharged within 2 days Norman responded to deliver the good news. Oh, thank God Harry said as he felt relieved. Harry I am aware that you have found out my secret Norman said.

Yes, I do Harry responded making direct eye contact. I am so sorry Harry for the monster I created Norman said in an apologetic voice as he shed tears. It's ok, its ok dad I forgive you Harry responded holding his beloved dad's hand. Whatever happened withing these few weeks is now finally over. He added.

I promise you that such horrible stuff will never happen again Harry Norman promised his son with crystal clear intentions of fixing the stuff that happened and set sights on a peaceful life ahead.

I know dad, I know Harry said in an understanding voice. At that moment the goblin persona took over but pretended to be Norman. He starred at Harry for a while with an evil smile on his face.

Harry noticed and perfectly pretended not to have noticed a thing. Now I would love to take some rest the green goblin said. Oh yeah off course Harry responded. The green goblin fell asleep and closed his eyes.

Harry took out the bottle containing the blue liquid Harry had been researching. Without being noticed at all Harry put all of that blue liquid in the IV Solution Containers.

You won't be able to take my dad away now Harry said under his breath as the liquid entered Norman's system neutralising the goblin serum. The blue liquid was an antidote for the goblin serum. Harry knew that this was the last he would see of the green goblin as the antidote is capable of neutralising not just he physical effects of the serum but also the intangible effects such as the split personality. Harry Waited and only left after ensuring that the whole antidote had been entered into Norman's body.

The antidote took effect and within a few seconds on the monitor the whole heartbeat and pulse returned to normal as if nothing had happened. That was the que that Harry needed to confirm that the green goblin was finally gone once and for all.

Harry left the room. So how is he? Peter asked.

Oh great, he is awesome and going to be just fine Harry responded. Oh, that's great Peter said. Well, how about we go outside and kill some time while he recovers Harry suggested.

Yeah, sure Peter responded. It will be good to go out and get some fresh air he added. Right! Harry said and both the friends went out to enjoy. They both Knew that nothing bad would come to haunt them. Even if something went wrong, they knew that the friendly neighbourhood spiderman would be there to save everyone.

Scene Break:

Location: The construction site:

Time: 11:00 PM Date 2002:

The construction site was deserted. Every inch of the place was silent as if time had stopped. On the ground was the piece of Venom Symbiote was lying down. The offspring developed by the sample had been developing. It had developed a red colour and it had intentions that had malice. The red offspring symbiote began to crawl out and away from the construction site. It was the meaning that the story would still plan to go differently.
