“Is this antidote really going to work?” Mr. Osborn asked as he looked at the bluish green serum which was supposed to be the antidote of Green Goblin serum.
We were originally going to create a suppresant for the Green Goblin serum due to a lack of time but Magnus’ Chaos Magic changed things too much.
We just needed to come up with the formula and not the production process since Magnus could easily create the antidote by manipulating the chemicals using his Chaos Magic. Honestly, the Chaos Magic was too overpowered in the field of research, capable of creating results instantly.
“This antidote is theoretically as closed to perfect as we could create in such a small time.” This world’s Peter answered.
“Then, do it! If nothing else, it will at least hurt the Goblin.” Mr. Osborn said resolutely, finally having a hope for erasing his Goblin personality once and for all.
“Hope this works!” Peter prayed as he injected the serum into Mr. Osborn.
“Aah!”
Mr. Osborn let out a scream just a few moments after the serum was injected and then suddenly fell unconscious.
“Did something go wrong?” Mayday asked as she swung down from the ceiling on a web.
“It is just that Mr. Osborn's body is changing rapidly from the antidote which caused a backlash, this making him unconscious.” I explained.
“And would you please come down from the ceiling now, Mayday?” I asked Mayday who had once again clung to the ceiling.
“But it is less crowded over here.” Mayday whined. Seriously, this girl was a little too mischievous.
By now, I had a proper grasp of both Mayday and Magnus' personalities. Mayday was a mischievous girl who reminded me more of MJ while Magnus was a shy guy who reminded me a little too much of myself.
“Mayday!” Peter 3 aka the older Peter said in an assertive tone. Being the oldest Spider-Man among us, he was the most mature one, especially considering that he was already married to his MJ. Thus, Mayday listened mostly to him since he was the most similar one to her father.
“Alright! I am coming down.” Mayday said with a sigh as she dropped down upon hearing Peter 3’s assertive tone.
“It was not like I was doing anything wrong. Father does it all the time. I have even seen him kissing mom one time while he was upside down.” Mayday complained.
“Did you really do it?” I asked the other Spider-Men, quite surprised by Mayday's words.
“Did you, Peter?” Aunt May also asked this world's Peter.
“I have never, Aunt May!” Peter replied, quickly refusing.
“What about both of you?” Mayday asked, clearly interested.
“I never have. But then again, my Gwen had died after we had established our relationship.” Peter 2 aka the younger Peter said in a saddened tone as he was reminded of his Gwen.
“Sorry to remind you again of Gwen.” I apologised, feeling sorry for him.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
It had hurt me when I had heard of Gwen's fate in Peter 2’s world from him. He had not been able to save his Gwen and she had died in front of his eyes.
It honestly reminded me of how my on life would have ended if not for Spider Supreme's intervention. Dying because of my own stupidity by the hands of Gwen who would have carried that guilt for the entirety of her life.
“Actually, I have also kissed my MJ upside down.” Peter 3 revealed, lightening the atmosphere a little.
“Really! You honestly remind me even more of my father now. Don't tell me that you are my father from the past.” Mayday laid down a rather outlandish hypothesis.
“That can't be possible. My MJ is an actress while yours is a fashion designer. Moreover, the Avengers exist in your world but not in mine.” Peter 3 replied, refuting Mayday’s hypothesis.
“Everyone! Mr. Osborn is waking up.” Magnus said as he pointed to Mr. Osborn who was now opening his eyes slowly.
“Uhhh….” It seems that Mr. Osborn had not gained his bearings yet as he didn't say anything immediately.
He started to move his hands slowly and then his body as he slowly regained his bearings.
“How are you feeling, Mr. Osborn?” Emma asked once it looked like Mr. Osborn had regained his bearings.
“Like I used to feel before I stupidly took that Goblin serum. The Goblin is gone!” Mr. Osborn replied, his face brimming with joy.
Emma, however didn't rely on Mr. Osborn's words and immediately used her telepathy to scan his mind while he was distracted.
Mr. Osborn's eyes widened as he felt Emma's intrusion into his mind but he didn't resist even a bit as he realized by she was doing so.
“Is the Goblin really gone?” Mr. Osborn asked anxiously as Emma opened her eyes.
“Yes, he is indeed gone.” Emma replied, giving the final verdict.
“Thank you everyone! If it was not for all of you, I would still have been a monster.” Mr. Osborn thanked everyone with tears in his eyes, glad to be finally free from the Goblin serum.
“Since Mr. Osborn has been cured, we should also treat the Lizard. After all, only a few hours are left before the evening.” Magnus said as he presented the Lizard serum’s antidote which he had enhanced with his Chaos Magic.
When Peter 2 had created the antidote, it was a blue colour. But after Magnus had enhanced it with his Chaos Magic, it now had a trace of red within it for some reason.
“Sure! We should try it as soon as possible since we don't have much time left.” This world's Peter said, agreeing with Magnus.
*************************************
“Just whatever you thinking when you left this monster on the rooftop, Peter!” Happy said, adomony Singh Peter for leaving the lizard like this even though he was still unconscious.
“We had made sure that the Lizard won’t wake up. Moreover, I had put a warning spell as well as a barrier just in case.” I explained that there was no need to worry.
“Let's hope that this antidote works!” Peter said as he injected the antidote into the Lizard through its mouth as its scales were too hard.
The Lizard opened his eyes as soon as the antidote was injected. However, as it slowly stood up, its scales started falling, making it confused by this development.
Before it could take any kind of action, its body started shrinking rapidly and in just a minute, it had reverted into a human I knew all too well, Dr. Connors.
“I… I am back!” Dr. Connors said as he looked at his hands, still having difficulty that he had reverted to his human form.
“You alright, Dr. Connors?” Peter 2 said as he stepped forward since he was the only one among the three Spider-Men who knew Dr. Connors as well as his Lizard form.
“Huh…. You are not the Peter I know. None of you are.” Dr. Connors said as he looked at all of us, especially the Peters.
“It is a long story, Dr. Connors. But the good thing is that you have finally been cured.” Peter 2 said to Dr. Connors with a smile.
“It is indeed a good thing. But I need to meet the Peter I know. There is a lot of work I have to do.” Dr. Connors said, revealing his desire to return to his world.
“You will return soon enough, Doctor. I promise you!” Peter 2 assured Dr. Connors.
“At last, everyone has been cured. We can finally go home!” Mayday declared with a grin.
“Still, I wanted to tour this world a little. After all, this world is much technologically developed compared to mine. And our Statue of Liberty definitely doesn't have Captain America's shield.” Mayday said, having wanted to explore this world a little.
I tok wanted to explore this world more, even though it was only for the technology and information I could obtain here.
“Hey, I have a great idea!” Magnus suddenly said.
“How about we spend our last few hours at the Statue of Liberty? It would be a great place for a farewell.”
“That's a great idea! Now, it truly feels like you are my brother.” Mayday said excitedly as she hugged Magnus, making him blush a little.
