"Rorek!" she says in surprise.

You're already kissing her neck and cheeks while squeezing those thighs. Her hands grip your shoulders then move up to your head to run her fingers through your hair.

"Naughty boy," she whispers into your ear as she places one hand on top of yours, encouraging you to squeeze tighter.

You squeeze tightly, then move from her neck to kissing her lips. She kisses back, that tongue of hers slipping in and out. Your hands move to the underside of her legs, and in one motion, you sit up and bring those legs up on either side of you. Raven lets out a little gasp with a big smile.

"I love these legs," you say as you smooth your cheek up against her calf.

"I know~," Raven says with a giggle. "And I love that you love my legs. But come back here and kiss me."

"But I am kissing you," you say.

You start kissing her calves and ankles while your hands squeeze her thighs. You even kiss the very back of her ankle and calf, and she lets out another little gasp. She then bites her lower lip as you move along her leg to the back of her knee.

As you into Raven's eyes, you also spot her midriff peeking out from under her top. You slide to lie down on the bed as you kiss her thigh and move a hand up her side to caress her bellybutton.

"Rorek~..." she mutters with a moan.

You look into her eyes, and they have that dreamy shimmer while she blushes and bites her lower lip in a smile. You kiss her thigh more, nipping at it tenderly as you inch closer to the innermost part.

"This is a really cute pair you have here," you say about her shorts.

You inspect the cotton shorts, which are in fact very short, with its elastic waistband and seams along the sides but lack of pockets.

"I wonder..." you say as you peek inside one of the legs.

"Rorek!" Raven scolds but with a giggle.

"Just curious," you smirk.

You go back to kissing her thigh, and run a hand along the other leg from thigh to knee to calf.

You toy with Raven a little more, kissing her thigh very strongly.

"Stop~," she giggles. "Are you trying to give my leg a hickey?"

"Maybe," you say between smacks of your lips against her skin.

"Well, could you maybe not?" she says. "It'd be really embarrassing if I had to put on my leotard and there was a big spot on the inside of my leg."

"Then how about a big spot on both legs?"

You move over to the other side and start kissing up and down that thigh. Raven giggles more as she smooths your hair.

"Rorek," she playfully scolds again. "You're making my thighs all cold."

"What? How? I'm giving you loving kisses."

"And those 'loving kisses' are sloppy and wet," she chuckles. "Are you sure you're not just licking me?"

"Do you want me to lick you?" you ask.

You then stick out your tongue.

"Rorek~...!" she says with another wide-eyed smile. "No~! No licking."

"Fine," you say as you kiss your way up this leg.

You go from her thigh to the back of her knee and up to her calf and ankle so that you're sitting up again. Raven bites her lower lip again as her hands play with your shirt and tickle your stomach. You take off your shirt to go skin against skin with her legs.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" you say.

"Oh, yeah," she chuckles. "Definitely."

She smooths her legs onto your shoulders and presses her calves against your neck. You give them kisses again, and even give a playful slap to her thighs. She gives another wide-eyed smile as she laughs. She sits up and even you laugh a little. Then as you calm down, looking into each other's eyes, she seems a bit down.

"We won't be alone to do even this much, will we?" she asks.

"Don't worry about that," you say. "We'll have lots of regular fun while we're there."

"I guess," she shrugs. "And it'll only be for a few days."

"Exactly," you say.

"In which case," she says as she leans back on the pillows. "Ravage me."

"B-Beg pardon?"

"Take me! Do what you want with me! We should have one more little go of it before we're spending time with your family."

"O-Okay," you say. "Though I should hope you understand, you're using too strong of an idiom."

"I just wanted to sound sexy," she says with a more embarrassed blush.

"You're plenty sexy," you say. "But since you gave me permission..."

You lie down alongside her and slip your hand up one of the shorts legs.

"Whoa!" she says. "Going right for it, huh?"

You grin as you nibble her ear while your fingers find your way to the very middle.

"Oh," you say. "How interesting. Are you wearing a thong?"

"Rorek, don't say it out loud!" she says with bright red cheeks.

You move your hand around to the backside, and feel up that juicy buttocks, and find no fabric.

"You are wearing a thong!" you say. "My, my! How adventurous, Raven."

"Stop talking about it and do something," she smirks.

You slide your hand back around to the front side and slip under the panties. You fiddle around, but that isn't a very comfortable position for your arm. You pull back out and loop around her leg to bring it up so you can get at her from below.

"Hold your leg for me," you say as your other hand cradles her breast from around her back.

Raven holds her leg around the back of her knee. You kiss her deeply on the lips while your fingers move in under the shorts and thong. Raven whimpers and moans as your fingers wriggle and probe around. Raven moans into your mouth as you slip and slide tongues together.

It starts getting very hot and wet down below as your fingers move back and forth, in and out. Your mouths separate and you both pant for a few seconds before going back for another round of kisses that grow increasingly hot and wet in their own right.

Your other hand brings Raven up so that you're both sitting right up against the headboard. Raven looks down to watch your first hand at work inside her shorts while your other hand finds its way inside her tank top. She has no bra, so you get right at bare breast.

"No," she says, her hand reaching for yours. "From this angle."

She redirects your hand to go up and under the top, and you cup the entire thing with a gentle squeeze. She lets out a little "Mmm" while you knip at her neck. She arches her back slightly as your hands work simultaneously. She lets out a squeal as you pinch one little nub and fiddle with the other.

You watch Raven squirm and arch and curl as your hands play with her. You keep the hand holding her breast in place while you focus everything down below. She breathes in sharper and faster, exhaling with squeals and moans as you look into her eyes. She keeps going back and forth between biting her lower lip and smiling open mouth while looking back into your eyes.

"Do it," Raven begs.

"Do... Do what?"

"You know what," she says. "Take me! Make me yours! Be my first!"

Your hands stop moving from how stunned you are right now.

"R-Raven...! W-What? N-No, it's too soon!"

"What do you mean it's too soon?! We love each other, don't we? And I want to. Don't you want to?"

"Of course!" you say a bit too quickly.

"Then rip off my shorts, and your pants, and we can do it!"

"Raven, we shouldn't do it now," you say.

"I'm not ready."

"You're not ready?" she says. "Oh c'mon. How can you not be?"

She reaches a hand down your pants and underwear.

"Raven!" you blurt out as her fingers make contact. "That's not the kind of 'ready' I meant!"

"Then what?" Raven says as she removes her hand. "Why don't you want to have sex?"

"I'm telling you, it's not that I don't want to have sex," you say. "Just not right now. It just doesn't feel like the right time, or the right place."

Raven looks around the room.

"Well... I guess a motel isn't really where I pictured this happening, either," she says. "N-Not that I ever thought about my first time. But, I see your point. Doing it here seems... cheap."

"Exactly," you say as the two of you sit up straight, hands to yourselves. "When we have our first time, I want it to be somewhere that feels much more special to us."

"Yeah," she nods. "It'll be better if we wait. But..."

Her hand creeps over while she has a naughty little smile on her face.

"We can still finish up our fun, can't we?" she says as she turns to face you.

"Well, I suppose we still could," you smirk as she gets face to face with you.

COIN TOSS

C, finish each other

You two sit up onto your knees as she reaches inside your pants again. You reach your hand down, and she guides it to go under her shorts' waistband. You use your free hand to bring her in for a kiss, and she does the same.

"Move closer," she says. "I feel like I'm gonna fall over."

You scoot in closer, and she quickly undoes your pants to give herself more room to get into your underwear. You feel the rush of pleasure as she grabs and pulls, and you do your best with just the one hand.

Things quickly get all sloppy again, and you hold Raven close while you break lip contact. She keeps kissing your neck while you take deep breaths, looking up at the ceiling.

"Does that feel good?" she whispers. "Do you like that?"

"Yes," you whisper back as you brush her hair behind one ear. "Let me give it back."

You accelerate the stirring, and Raven suddenly gasps in then moans out. You hold her up, and she breathes hot and heavy right on your neck and chest. She looks up at you and you kiss her deeply again. She moans into your mouth again as your fingers jiggle, wiggle, wriggle and joggle all around.

"Wait, wait!" Raven says as her aura starts to spark. "Slow down, slow down. I need to get you closer to the end."

She uses one hand to squeeze and tug while the other goes even deeper to cup and caress your "goolies". Now it's your turn to moan softly.

"Hold on," you say. "You... You might want to take this off."

You tug at her tank top.

"Oh, right," she says. "It gets a bit messy, doesn't it?"

She pulls her hands out long enough to pull her tank top right off. Without words, bring her in and kiss all over that bare bosom.

"Wait, I can't really reach," she says through giggling.

You end up on top of her, chest to chest and kissing mouth to mouth while your hand and hers work down below.

"Oh...!" Raven says. "Right there. Right there!"

You go after the spot you just touched, and focus on it with all your might. She breathes faster, her face is again enticingly twisted with the pleasure, and her hands feebly fondle you, growing numb from the rush going through the rest of her.

"Yes..." she lets out. "Yes...! YEEES!!"

She suddenly gasps and then *WHOOMF* that familiar tremor goes through you and the room, but not quite on the level of the tower shaker from a few days ago.

"Whoa what was that?!" someone in the next room shouts.

"Was that an earthquake!?" another shouts.

"Get under the bed in case there's aftershock!" a third yells, followed by the sound of fumbling on the ground.

You contain your laughter while Raven has a big smile on her face as she catches her breath.

"Okay..." she says. "Your turn."

She grabs hold of you and pushes herself on top of you now. Her hand moves so fast that you can't even think before the feeling wells up inside you.

"Is it happening?" she asks excitedly.

You can only shake your head, "Yes."

She suddenly yanks your pants down while sliding off the bed. She's on her knees while you're sitting on the edge, and she positions her bosoms to be on either side. Then she presses them together like a warm, soft vice.

"Just like Hawaii," you blurt out.

"Mostly," she smirks. "I feel like some goth pornstar, but I think I like it."

She uses those breasts to pump and press, and you fall back onto the bed as it all comes flowing out.

"Wow!" she says. "There's so much!"

"Should I say 'thank you' or 'I'm sorry'?"

She laughs.

"Well, I'm going to take a shower," she says. "You should decide what we do for breakfast in the morning."

"Oh, that's easy."

"We'll just have something on the plane. That'll save us time in the morning."

"Okay," she says as she gets up. "Be right back."

She goes into the bathroom while you tidy up in here. Firstly, you pull your pants up. Then you grab your shirt and put it back on, then set Raven's top with her luggage.

You patiently wait and listen to the sound of the shower while you switch channels to something less terrifying. You go with The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

"DESTROY US ALL!" Billy shouts. "DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! I'll have the chicken. DESTROY US ALL!"

Ah yes, Billy's fear of clowns. A classic episode.

"Happy place... Happy place...!" Billy mutters.

He goes inside his mind and it's a white void except for a couch he sits on. In walks a big round man in a trucker's hat, board shorts with sandals and a shirt with the letters "PPU" on it.

"Who're you?" Billy asks the man.

"I'm your inner frat boy, dude."

You chuckle at this part.

"Billy, just because someone looks different from you," the inner frat boy says, "or thinks differently from you, doesn't mean you should be a fraid of them. It means you should be angry with them! How dare they be different!! What?! My way of life ain't good enough for 'em?!"

"So you're saying I should beat them up?" Billy asks.

"Billy, fighting outside of a hockey rink is wrong. But I'm imaginary, so do what you gotta do."

"Thanks, inner frat boy!"

"No problem, Billy," he says as they hug. "Now, are you ready for your paddeling?"

"Umm, I think I'll pass."

"Oh, okay. Another time, then..."

You chuckle again as Billy leaves his happy place to use his new perspective on Mandy and Grim, who are dressed as clowns.

Judging from the sound of the shower stopping, Raven finishes her shower. She walks out a few moments later, wrapped in a towel.

"Alright, my turn in the shower," you say. "That way you can dress in peace."

"Thank you," Raven says as she sits on the bed.

You get up and go into the bathroom with your toiletries. You take your shower, and brush your teeth, and then wrap yourself in another towel. You walk out and Raven is dressed in a new tank top and pair of shorts. You shyly walk over to your luggage, and Raven smirks as she closes her eyes and turns away. You keep your eyes on her as you pick out new clothes.

Once dressed, you sit back on the bed and recline against the pillows. Raven turns around to rest on you as you watch television until you decide to finally go to sleep.

"Good night, Rorek," Raven says as she settles in.

"Good night, Raven," you say as you turn everything off.

Your alarm wakes you the next morning, and the two of you double check that everything is packed. You make your way out of the motel room and back to Shadowfax. You ride past the manager and say both good morning and good-bye as you pull out onto the street.

You make your way back to Ferris Air, the guard lets you in, and you return to Hangar 2, where the A380 is waiting.

"Right on time," Ms. Ferris says. "Let's get you aboard."

Raven and Ms. Ferris take the luggage while you help load Shadowfax into the garage section of the cargo. With Shadowfax secure, you join Raven in the cabin.

"The pantry is fully stocked of the same things as before," Ms. Ferris informs you. "Have you two not had breakfast yet?"

"No, we decided to save time and get here right away," you say.

"Well in that case, perhaps you'd like something a bit more than cereal and toast to choose from? We do have some time before take-off."

A) Special request for eggs

"Perhaps some eggs?" you ask. "I can just scramble them up myself."

"Alright, some eggs and a frying pan, coming right up," she says. "Oh, but we also need to settle payment before you take off."

"Oh, of course," you say. "I'll write the check."

"And while you do, I'll go get those eggs."

Ms. Ferris exits the plane while you take a pen and check and write it out for $30 million. You hand the check to Ms. Ferris as she hands you the eggs and pan, along with a small bottle of vegetable oil.

"Thank you," you say.

"And thank you," she says. "You two enjoy breakfast while I help with final preparations."

Ms. Ferris exits the plane again while you go to the kitchen. You grease the pan and turn on the electric stove and let it heat up while you scramble the eggs in a bowl. Raven joins you to pour glasses of orange juice.

You put the eggs on the pan and cook them up while Raven grabs plates. You divide the scrambled eggs evenly between the two plates while Raven finds forks in the silverware drawer. You each take a fork, plate and glass and go to the cabin. You two sit down and eat while watching television.

"In local news," the anchor woman says, "a reported 3.5 magnitude earthquake was recorded, but the epicenter was oddly found inside a Motel 6."

You and Raven snort and chortle as you laugh with mouths full of eggs.

"No one has any explanations as to what caused the quake," the anchor woman continues. "There are no faults near the motel, and there were no explosions. An investigation will begin to try and find the source of the phenomenon shortly. If you have any answers, please call the Coast City hotline number shown below."

You and Raven do your best to hold in your laughter, and part of that requires you to not look at each other. You just feel that if you look her in the eyes, you will lose control with laughing.

You spot the remote and pick it up. You decide to change the channel to something else so you and Raven can calm down.

A) Find sports
B) Find movies

You scan through the guide and find movie channels. You go with what's just now starting, the original Spider-Man movie with Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker.

"Y'know, I've never really watched a lot of these Marvel movies," Raven says. "I just don't see what's so great about these fake superhero stories."

"I dunno, I like how Marvel imagines their universe. A mutated spider injects its DNA into a human, granting the same abilities, while gamma radiation grants another person the rage-based powers to become a big, green behemoth."

"Would that even work, though?" she says. "A mutated spider bite might just give you a really bad spider bite, and radiation would just give you cancer or something."

"Raven, you do realize you're half-demon and I'm basically the Prince Charming of magic."

"Yeah, but-"

"And you come from a team of teenage superheroes, which include an alien amazon, a green shapeshifter, and a literal cyborg."

"Well when you say it like that..." she says.

You two chuckle again and watch the movie.

Peter Parker is bit by the mutant spider, and he feels sick. He gets home and the changes to his DNA begins.

"The difference in this Spider-Man is that he has biological web shooting sacks," you say. "Most Spider-Man continuities have Peter Parker invent his own."

"Then why would they have him get biological ones for the movie?"

"I'm not sure," you say. "Maybe they thought it made sense."

"This is your captain speaking," Sherwood says over the intercom.

"Oh, it's Sherwood and Forester again," you say. "Nice."

"We're preparing our approach," Sherwood says, "please turn off all electronic devices, secure loose items and fasten seat belts as we begin take-off."

You shut off the television and move over to the table. You and Raven strap in and hold on tight to your breakfast as the plane accelerates and ascends. The two of you watch the ground drop away as the plane flies East over the rest of Coast City.

"It's going to be a long flight," you say. "Ten hours at least."

"Wow," she says. "Good thing this plane is so fancy."

"Agreed," you say.

A few minutes go by and the plane is high enough that everything looks so small down below. The plane then levels out, and you no longer have to worry about your food and drinks.

"This is your captain," Sherwood says. "You are not free to move around the cabin."

You and Raven unbuckle and go back to the couch. You turn the television back on as you and Raven continue eating.

Peter Parker tests his ability to shoot webbing from his arms, but goes through several odd hand and finger positions to get the right one.

"You see, that hand sign," you say. "It only works that way in this movie because it's based on what the comics created. Peter Parker felt putting the web shooter on his wrists with a pressure lever on the palm would be the most efficient way to make it all work. And Stan Lee and Steve Ditko gave Spider-Man the web shooters because they were inspired by the American pulp magazine character, The Spider."

"Who?"

"The Spider was a noire style vigilante who would have strong but thin thread he'd use for various things."

"Oh. Well, wouldn't Stan Lee have come up with this idea even without that older series?"

"Not necessarily. Many things that were created because of inspiration wouldn't be what they were without what inspired them."

"Y'know, when you say it like that, it seems like it should've been obvious."

You chuckle while the scene where Peter Parker makes his wrestling debut and gets his name, "Spider-Man". He then has his shoot wrestling match with Bonesaw, played by Macho Man Randy Savage.

"Oh, the sad part is after this," you say.

After Spider-Man wins the match, the wrestling promotion's owner cheaps out on the prize money. But then a man armed with a gun holds up the owner and takes the rest of the money. Out of a selfish desire to let the owner get what he deserves, Peter lets the thief get away. However, when Peter gets out to the street, he sees a commotion and walks over, to find his uncle Ben was shot!

"Wait, his uncle dies?" Raven says.

"You didn't know that?"

"I told you, I've never really watched anythnig Marvel related."

"Well, yes, this is the tragedy that motivates Spider-Man to be a hero."

As you say that, Spider-Man hunts the man said to have killed Uncle Ben down to a warehouse. Spider-Man attacks the man, only to find out it's the very thief he let get away!

"No way...!" Raven says. "He... His uncle...? No...!"

"Yep," you say.

The thief panics and falls out the window, to his death.

"Whoa!" Raven says.

Raven is rather enthralled by the movie, from Norman Osborne becoming the Green Goblin to Spider-Man doging the Goblin Glider and it flying into Osborne instead.

"Don't tell Harry," Osborne says with his dying breath.

And then the film ends with Norman Osborne's funeral, and Peter having to keep two secrets from both Mary Jane and his best friend, Harry.

"It is my gift. It is my curse. With great power comes great responsibility. I, am Spider-Man."

"Wow," Raven says as the credits roll. "That was pretty good."

"Yeah? You liked that?"

"Yeah, I did," she says.

"In that case," you say, "we should track down the second Spider-Man movie from this trilogy."

"Wait, this trilogy?" she asks. "There've been more Spider-Man movies?"

"Of course," you say. "But we'll worry about the reboots after Spider-Man 2."

You use the cable's On Demand system to track down the 2004 sequel.

The movie begins with Peter Parker struggling to balance work, love-life, and being Spider-Man. Not only that, but those he cares for are struggling: Mary Jane's Broadway career isn't going smoothly, Harry Osborne is still dealing with his father's death, and Aunt Mae has been given an eviction notice!

All of this stress and guilt weighs on Peter's mind, and as he's swinging along, his webbing stops shooting! Spider-Man lands on a wall, but then his wall-crawling ability disappears and he falls! He smacks against cars parked below, and survives, but all banged up. Peter hobbles home in confusion.

"Whoa, did his powers just quit on him?" Raven asks.

"Yes."

"Oh, is that why they gave him organic web shooters? So those would be affected along with the rest of his powers?"

"That's assuming they thought that far ahead from the first movie," you say.

At a later time, Harry, now head of Oscorp's research division, is sponsoring a fusion power project by nuclear scientist Otto Octavius, and invites Peter. Peter meets Professor Octavius and the two become friends through their intellect. The professor becomes a bit of a mentor to Peter, along with Mrs. Octavius. They try to help Peter solve his romance problems, but Peter suddenly using poetry doesn't really work on Mary Jane because she knows he's not the kind.

During this period, Peter's powers fluctuate on and off, and he talks to a medical doctor. Peter uses hypotheticals and ambiguity to ask the doctor what he should do about being Spider-Man. The doctor says Peter needs to decide whether he wants to be Spider-Man or just Peter.

Peter and Harry attend a public demonstration of Professor Octavius' fusion experiment, along with his harness of powerful robotic tentacle arms with artificial intelligence. The AI is kept out of his own mind thanks to an inhibitor chip, so there is no danger to them taking over.

During a public demonstration that Peter and Harry attend, a power spike causes the fusion reactor to destabilize. Octavius refuses to shut down the reactor, which goes critical. The resulting small sun and its massive gravity field causes all kinds of damange, killing Mrs. Octavius and burning the inhibitor chip blocking the arms from his nervous system. Peter, as Spider-Man, shuts the experiment down, destroying it in the process.

At a hospital, doctors prepare to surgically remove Octavius' harness. However, without the inhibitor chip the arms have developed sentience and attack them. Upon regaining consciousness and seeing the carnage, Octavius escapes and takes refuge at a harbor. The tentacles start talking to Octavius, convincing him that he was not in the wrong. They say Harry Osborne and Spider-Man are the ones to blame for both the accident and his wife's death, and Octavius believes them. He decides to recreate the experiment, but knows that will require many things.

Peter and Aunt Mae go to a bank to work on getting a loan so she can keep the house. However, the bank worker says it's not so easy, because of various red tape requirements. He won't even give them the free toaster because of the fine print in the promotional deal. However, Octavius appears! He rips open the vault and starts grabbing up money! And when confronted by security, he attacks, causing quite the ruckus! Peter leaves, to Aunt Mae's concern and confusion, but of course he returns as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man confronts Octavius, but recognizes who he is. That and some minor loss of power complicates the situation, and Aunt Mae is taken hostage! Spider-Man pursues and things get harrowing, but Spider-Man saves Aunt Mae and forces Octavius into retreat. When the Daily Bugle reports on this, they eventually name Octavius "Doctor Octopus", with J. Jonah Jameson taking credit for someone else's suggestion.

Meanwhile, Peter's social life continues to spiral as Mary Jane has been dating and is not engaged to astronaut John Jameson, son of his boss, J. Jonah Jameson. Worse yet, Peter is made the photographer to their engagement party. Peter suffers an emotional breakdown over his inability to balance his life, resulting in him losing his powers completely. He abandons his Spider-Man identity, returns to his normal life, and attempts to reconcile with Mary Jane.

Requiring the isotope tritium to fuel his reactor, Octavius visits Harry to demand it. Harry agrees in exchange for Spider-Man's life. He tells Octavius to seek Peter, who Harry believes is friends with Spider-Man, but requests Octavius not harm him. The deal is made, and Octavius disappears into the night.

Peter meets with Mary Jane at a coffee shop and he again tries to talk to her about his feelings, but Dr. Octopus finds them first, and throws a car through the shop window! It is only thanks to the return of Peter's powers that he reacts in time to save himself and Mary Jane. However, Dr. Octopus still grabs Mary Jane, and gives the ultimatum to contact Spider-Man. Just as Jameson admits he was wrong about Spider-Man, Peter steals his costume back from the Bugle and goes after Octavius, in turn upsetting Jameson and making him take back his confession.

As Spider-Man battles Dr. Octopus, they fall onto a subway train. Dr. Octopus sabotages the controls and leaves Spider-man to save the passengers. Spider-Man uses web thread after web thread to attach himself and the train to the buildings along the track. The train is headed for a dead-end, but stops just inches from certain doom. However, this is a great physical toll on Spider-Man's body. When he faints from exhaustion, the grateful passengers save him from falling and bring him into the train, seeing his unmasked face. He wakes up and panics a moment, but everyone promises to keep his secret. Spider-Man puts on his mask but Dr. Octopus returns! The passengers bravely stand in his way, but they're not enough, and Dr. Octopus captures Spider-Man, whom Octavius delivers to Harry.

After giving Octavius the tritium, Harry prepares to kill Spider-Man, but first removes the mask. Harry is of course shocked to see it is Peter under the mask. Peter convinces Harry to direct him to Octavius' lair, using the fact the experiment will destroy all of New York like it did the lab. Harry gives him the information, and Peter leaves.

As Spider-Man, Peter arrives at the doctor's waterfront "laboratory" and attempts to rescue Mary Jane discreetly. Octavius discovers him and they fight once again as the nuclear reaction swells. Peter ultimately subdues Octavius, reveals his identity, and persuades Octavius to let his dream go for the greater good. Octavius finally commands the tentacles to obey him, and gives his life to destroy the experiment. However, because of the immense weight of the machine and the gravitational force made by the fusion star, Octavius cannot get away. Though he dies, he himself is comforted by the through that he will "not die a monster", but a hero.

Mary Jane sees Spider-Man's true identity and feelings, which he says is why they cannot be together. Peter returns Mary Jane to John, and leaves.

"Thankfully we don't have to worry about that stuff," Raven says. "We don't have secret identities so we can just be open about stuff."

"That's true," you say.

Harry is visited by a vision of his dead father in a mirror, Norman, who pleads for Harry to avenge his death. Refusing to hurt Peter, Harry argues with Norman, and in his rage, shatters the mirror, unintentionally revealing a secret room. Inside, Harry sees dozens of prototypes of the Green Goblin's equipment, from gliders to the pumpkin bombs. Harry realizes the truth, but is not afraid.

On her wedding day, Mary Jane abandons John Jameson at the altar and runs to Peter's apartment, determined to be with him despite the risks. After they kiss, they hear police sirens, and Mary Jane encourages him go and help them as Spider-Man.

"That was great," Raven says.

"Yes, the second movie was accepted as a very great sequel," you say. "Though, there is still a thing about the change to Doctor Octopus that bothers me."

"A change? What did they change?"

"Traditionally, the robotic tentacles don't have minds of their own. There wouldn't be any concern about them affecting his own mind. Octavius was completely in control of his robotic tentacles, not being manipulate by them to commit crimes. It was probably just the fastest way to explain Octavius turning from a legitimate scientist to a crazed villain."

"Why was he a villain in the origin continuity?"

"He dealt with an abusive father as well as bullies who mocked him for being the smartest yet pudgiest kid in class."

"I guess that'd do it," she says. "But also too much to explain in a movie."
