Luna threw her now empty glass against the wall, tears rolling down her face as a slew of unwanted memories came flooding back to her.

R&L, Oscorp Medical Labs, Non-Functioning Equipment, Time-Withered Body, R&M and their runaway

She closed her eyes and tried to steady her breathing, her hands tightly clenching her shoulders with her fingernails digging into her skin. Her make-up had began to run down her face as the cold tears refused to stop. Haunting sounds of laughter, glasses connecting, church bells and screams pushed out from her subconscious and began to drive her insane. The heartache, the feeling of embracing another and the warmth of love mixed and battled with the cold feeling of being alone, the rage of being abandoned and the heart-swelling feeling of love that sent every part of her mind and heart into a frenzy.

"Stop it..." she whimpered "Please... stop it..."

Luna felt herself slip into unconsciousness but before she slept she allowed one, hateful word to slip from her mouth. A single name. A name that brought forth more hate than any other could.

"Mary"

Peter remained standing at the balcony, hearing Shining talk to him as he walked up behind him, presumably holding drinks.

"There you are dude, what happened?" he asked as he handed the drink to Peter "You and Luna both disappeared by the time I got back"

"Yeah, sorry about that" peter said, hiding his previous emotions from Shining as he took the drink with a smile "We had a bit of an argument and she left, she wasn't very happy"

"She hasn't been lately, we're not sure why" Shining sighed "We've tried talking to her but I don't think we're getting through to her"

"What's she been doing?" Peter asked "She hasn't been having any, like, mood swings or anything has she?"

"That's... very specific Pete, why mood swings as a specific?" Shining asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"No reason, I just thought that that was a common thing with girls" Peter said, taking a sip from his drink. Shining appeared ready to say something but his attention was attracted by something behind Peter.

"Whoa, what the hell's going on there?" he asked. Peter turned around and saw what he was talking about, a constant fluctuating light over at the power grid for the city with a barely audible static noise going through the air.

"Max?" Peter thought to himself, now happy he'd decided to put his costume on underneath his party suit.

"Hang on Peter, I'm gonna go make a few calls" Shining said, setting his drink down on the balcony and heading back inside, pulling his phone out as he did so. Peter waited until Shining was clear and nobody was looking out onto the balcony before putting his own drink down and leaping over the edge, falling down and shooting a web-line to the nearest building.

"Twilight, are you gonna act like this all night?" Harry asked his angry girlfriend.

"I don't know, why don't you go ask MJ?" she snapped.

"Come on Twi, don't be like that" Harry sighed "Do you want me to get you a drink?" Twilight didn't answer but Harry got up and went for one anyway. Twilight stared down at the ground angrily for a long moment before she heard somebody else sat down next to her. She looked up, expecting it to be Cadance, but was horrified to see Mary-Jane sitting down beside her.

"Hey there, its Twilight right?" she asked "I'm Mary-Jane Watson"

"Yeah, I know that" Twilight said in a salty tone.

"Oh, I recognize that kind of reaction" she said with a smile "Its about a guy isn't it?"

"No... its none of your business" Twilight said coldly.

"I'll take that as a yes" she chuckled "Look girlfriend, if you've got a stake in for somebody I'll back off and let you have it, just give me the word" Twilight hesitated but slowly looked up at Mary-Jane, seeing a kind, gentle and friendly smile on her face.

"Its... its not that I've got a stake in for him, I've already got a boyfriend, its just that..." Twilight began, unable to find the correct words.

"Its just that you're very protective of your male friends" Mary-Jane finished "And that friend would be Peter, wouldn't it?"

"M-Maybe" Twilight said. Mary-Jane laughed quietly and placed a hand on Twilight's shoulder.

"Look, I know you think that I'm just some red-headed bimbo whose going to sweep in and steal your friend away but don't worry, I'm not going to" Mary-Jane explained "As of right now I'm not looking for a boyfriend, even somebody as great as Peter... you don't mind me saying that do you?"

"No, not at all" Twilight nodded "After all, he's not my boyfriend" Mary-Jane was quiet for a second before she smirked.

"Do I detect a hint of longing in your voice their Miss Twilight?" Mary-Jane questioned.

"No, not at all"  Twilight said quickly.

"Don't worry, your secret's safe with me sister" Mary-Jane nodded "But if I were in your shoes I'm sure I'd feel the same, torn between two choices that you wish would be just one"

"W-What d'you mean?" Twilight asked.

"Well its easy to see really, both of them have great qualities that any girl would love for her man to have but neither of them has even one of the others, which is what makes it hard to make a final choice. Harry has the money and the authority, he's got billions of dollars and fancy things in his future, something that every girl dreams of having in their life. Peter has the looks and attitude that a girl wants in a man, strong, confident and knows how and when to laugh at himself. Harry's rich and powerful while Peter's charming and funny, you want them both but you know you can't" Mary-Jane explained "You know if you try to have both of them, the price afterwards will be much larger than the benefits, so you remain unsure, wanting what the second offers but not wanting to lose what the first one's got"

"MJ, can I ask you a question?" Twilight asked.

"Shoot" Mary-Jane nodded.

"How are you able to read my mind?" Twilight asked with a grin.

"Its more obvious than you think... at least for a woman to see, men are much different creatures" Mary-Jane chuckled "Men are simpler, for better or for worse, and they don't take much training to be able to handle, I just feel sorry for them when it comes to figuring out how we work as a gender"

"I don't think Harry's very good at it" Twilight sighed.

"Neither does Peter, but he's not as bad as some" Mary-Jane smirked "He's got a little game but he's hardly a trained expert"

"You can say that again" Twilight laughed, looking up at the red-head again "You know something MJ, you're quite fun to talk to"

"You too Twilight" Mary-Jane nodded "I think we'll get along just fine"

"I hope so, you seem to understand me much better than I do" Twilight joked "You'll be handy to keep around"

"We all have our uses girlfriend, some better than others" Mary-Jane said, looking around the room for a second "Speaking of Peter, where did he get to?"

"I... I have no idea" Twilight said, having a hunch as to where he went but not wanting to vocalize it to Mary-Jane "I'll go outside and call him in a minute, after Harry gets back with the drink he went for"

"Good plan" Mary-Jane nodded.

Spider-Man landed quietly on the building next to the power plant, scoping out the area for any sign of Max. Finding none he opened a window and crawled inside the building, feeling a tense knot in his stomach form as his anxiety grew.

"Alright Spider, stay calm" he whispered "We just need to see if Max is in here and if he is we stop him, call the police and get out quicker than a-" His sentence was cut off as his Spider-Sense began to ring, warning him of an incoming attack. He threw himself down to the ground with a loud grunt, the now yellow lightning bolts chasing after him as he moved.

"Spider-Man!" Max yelled "I was hoping to run into you again, I believe we've got a score to settle?"

"Yeah, something like one nil to me if my memory's working" Spider-man said, web-zipping onto another wall and bolt after bolt was shot at him "Now are you gonna come along quietly Maxy or are you gonna make me work for my two nil victory?"

"I'm gonna make you fry web-head!" Max boomed, charging up another bolt and firing it at Spider-Man, missing again.

"Wow Max, your aim's almost as bad as your banter and your name!" Spider-Man laughed, using his webbing to grab a barrel that he swung into Max, knocking him off the ledge he stood on and into the air. Spider-Man leaped forward, slamming his foot into Max's stomach, being able to hit him without fear of electrocution due to the lack of grounding he had. He dropped down to the ground, booting Max in the back just before he hit the floor and sending him flying into one of the generators.

"Yeah... about the name" Max snarled as he stood up "I'm changing it, what was it you called me again?"

"Sparkles?" Spider-Man asked.

"No... Electro wasn't it?" he asked, standing up and rolling his neck "I'm Electro, bitch!" He pressed his hands together and fired a yellow stream of electricity at Spider-Man who dodged to the side, webbing up to the ceiling and just barely outrunning Electro's beam.

"Electro bitch?" Spider-Man asked "Are you sure you don't want me to call you The Pink-Man instead?"

"W-What?" Electro asked in confusion.

"Yeah... I think that joke would've worked better if you'd seen Breaking Bad" Spider-Man said, both of them stopping and remaining still, Spider-Man sticking upside down to the ceiling "Then again, I haven't seen it either... so... yeah"

"W-What are you... just stand still and fucking die!" Electro hollered, firing at Spider-Man yet again. Spider-Man attempted the same trick with the barrel but Electro saw it coming and was able to vaporize the barrel.

"Whoa!" Spider-Man exclaimed "If you can destroy the barrel that easily then why aren't you just burning everything I can stand on, keep me on your level?"

"That is... a great idea web-head, thanks!" Electro grinned, increasing the power of his beam once more.

"Oh that's a great move Spidey!" Spider-Man groaned, throwing himself down to a lower section of the wall and slapping a palm to his head "Why don't you just tell him your secret identity while you're at it? After all, you've just given him a better way to kill you!"

"You talk way to fucking much man" Electro snarled "Its annoying"

"Yeah I know, you're not the first person to tell me that" Spider-Man nodded, scratching his chin "And somehow I get the feeling you won't be the last" The two continued to fight, Electro continuing to blast the walls and the ceiling, leaving very artistic-looking patterns in the walls.

"Huh, you know this would make a lovely postcard" he said, looking at the burn marks "I should take a picture of-" He slapped his hand to his face and groaned, remembering that he had forgotten his camera and wouldn't be able to take pictures.

"Argh, I could make a killing off this fight" he growled "Oh well... next time for sure" Electro fired another charged bolt at him, hitting one of the girders in the walls and the whole room began to shake.

"Be careful Max, you're gonna bring this whole place down on our heads!" Spider-Man yelled.

"That sounds like a plan!" Electro grinned, firing more and more charged bolts at the support beams he had exposed.

"Maybe I should just, like, shut up for the rest of my life" Spider-Man sighed, leaping at Electro and trying to kick him in the face as a desperate effort to not destroy the entire place. His feet were less than a metre away from Electro's face but he pointed his arm out and blasted Spider-man in the chest, sending him flying through a wall and into some kind of office.

"Great... there's another five bucks wasted on suit repairs... owww" he groaned. He got to his feet and prepared to leap out of the room before his eyes landed on a rack of strange looking gloves. He looked at the sign above them and saw that they were specialized non-conductive gloves.

"Oh, now that's almost too good to be true" Spider-Man said, grabbing two of the gloves and pulling them over his hands "And now that I've got the dungeon item I can beat the boss, get the Pendant of Courage, collect a heart container and pull the Master Sword from its pedestal in the Lost Woods" He realized that with the area the gloves covered he would be unable to use his web-shooters so he had to sacrifice one of the gloves in favour of webbing ability, and then leaping back into the room with Electro.

"Alright Electro, get ready to..." he said confidently before realizing that Electro was nowhere to be seen and that his only company was a small army of police officers aiming weapons at him.

"Freeze Spider-Man!" one of them yelled.

"Did you guys see where Electro went?" he asked, only to receive the sounds of weapons priming in response "No? Okay then" He threw himself forward, web-zipping out of a hole in the roof and giving chase after Electro. He threw the glove away and made his way deeper into the city.

"I need to find this son of a bitch" Spider-Man growled, now being pursued by a news and police chopper.

"Stop right there Spider-Man, you're under arrest!" the man in the chopper yelled down a megaphone.

"Can't. Busy!" he yelled in response "Looking for my friend, he gets scared when he's out alone, you'll know him when you see him, he's got an electric personality!"

"He is not getting away this time... get snipers on every roof in the fucking city of you have to, I want him caught and I want him alive!" the man yelled down a radio.

"Yeah, good luck with that pal" Spider-Man chuckled. As he was swinging he was able to see a large amount of squad and SWAT cars chasing him on the streets, a smug smile underneath his mask as he knew that they would never catch him. His attention was gained however as his Spider-Sense began to weakly buzz, wanting him to look down.

"Huh?" Is Electro nearby?" he asked himself. For a split second his Spider-Sense blasted but it was far too late to react, a sharp object punctured his leg and he immediately felt his muscles give way. He released the web-line in the lowest point in his swing and he was thrown through the air, slamming through a small office building's lower floor window, out of the other side and smashing into a yellow taxi cab.

"No... get up web-head!" he thought as he heard the sirens get closer to him "No no no no" He tried his hardest to move, put everything he had into it but it was no use, his body wouldn't listen to him. He felt a hand grab hold of the back of his costume before he was dragged off the cab and thrown to the floor, squad cars pulling up with SWAT teams exiting their APCs, all weapons, cameras and eyes were on him as he was pulled onto his back side, had his hands bound behind him and his mask pulled off his head.

"Now then Spider-Freak, let's see who you really are..." the officer said, placing his hand under Peter's chin and trying to force him to look up. Next Chapter: Secrets Revealed Estimated time remaining: 9 Hours, 11 Minutes
