Chapter 151 - 147
This sudden attack was something no one—not even someone as unhinged as Typhoid—could have anticipated. She quickly dodged to avoid the incoming table, but the interruption broke her concentration and disrupted her gravitational hold, a weakness in her ability.
Seizing the opportunity, the Green Goblin managed to enter a remote command, summoning his glider to his position. He jumped onto it and quickly sped away into the distance. His mission—to eliminate several key executives—was complete, and seeing the tide turn against him, the cunning Green Goblin knew better than to stay and fight.
The glider's speed and maneuverability allowed him to escape swiftly, putting considerable distance between himself, Spider-Man, and Typhoid.
"Aw, man!" Spider-Man muttered in frustration.
Just as he was about to give chase, he heard terrified screams from above—Mary Jane, Harry, and others were on a collapsing balcony. A recent explosion from the Green Goblin had weakened the structure, leaving only a small, unstable section holding them up. Mary Jane lost her grip and began to fall.
With Harry shouting in panic, Peter Parker instantly abandoned the pursuit. He fired a strand of webbing, swinging in a swift arc toward Mary Jane. As debris crumbled around him, he reached her just in time, catching her around the waist and guiding her gently to the ground with the help of his webs.
Mary Jane stared up at Spider-Man, wide-eyed and speechless. Her gaze made Peter's heart skip a beat; he felt himself melt under her look. But snapping out of it, he quickly remembered the Green Goblin. He released Mary Jane, glancing into the distance only to see that both the Green Goblin and Typhoid Mary had disappeared.
Peter's heart sank. He had let the Green Goblin escape—a dangerous madman who would likely return to cause more destruction. If he'd only stayed focused, he might have stopped him. Thinking of the potential future harm, Peter's mood grew somber, even as he held Mary Jane safe in his arms.
"Hey... Spider-Man!" Mary Jane's gentle voice reached Peter's ears, snapping him out of his thoughts. He glanced at her, then suppressed his emotions and focused. One by one, he used his webs to safely rescue Harry and the others who were still clinging to the damaged balcony. Just as he finished, he heard police sirens in the distance. Firing a web, he swung away, leaving Mary Jane, Harry, and the others with mixed feelings.
Meanwhile, Leon and Wanda, who had been watching the whole scene unfold, exchanged bewildered looks. Wanda, her expression unimpressed, asked, "What... was that?"
Leon sighed, almost feeling his heart skip a beat. "All I can say is, it's very... Spider-Man."
