Harry Osborn: Rebirth
Chapter 10 - Discovery of a Monster and the bad news
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter the incident with Luna, me Twilight and Peter were left in a room. An awkward silence started, but I had a lot of questions and it was a perfect time to ask them.
"So, Peter. How did you get to this life? And how did you meet Twilight?"
Peter smiled, remembering the moments of the past.
"Well, I can say straight away that it wasn't my choice. It happened to be a usual day when a portal popped up in the midair of New York City and sucked me in with no way out. It was Twilight who summoned me. She was in quite a trouble with a dragon destroying Ponyville."
For over several hours Peter talked about his time and adventures in Equestria and how he traveled back to Earth.
"Wait! Is auntie May here too?" I asked surprised. I really liked her and she was a person that I would like to have by my side.
"Yeah... And she is Pegasus." Peter replied. Twilight burst out laughing by his side. "What? I want wings too! I want to fly!" I've never seen Peter whining, but it seemed to be his weak spot.
"Don't worry. One day I will carry you on my back." I joked over him, earning a push in a shoulder from Peter and smiles from ladies.
"I'd prefer to stay on ground, thank you very much." He murmured.
"Well, that seems great. But I wish I could beat my father myself. Family business." I added, after mentioning the look Sunset gave me.
"Harry. What about your son, Harry Jr.?" Peter asked, touching the wounded place of my heart.
"Um... Em..." I was lost and asked mentally Sunset for help. But it looked more like a S.O.S. scream.
Sunset smiled, but did nothing. Or I thought so, before she replied mentally
"You can't tell the truth yourself to your friend?"
It was a push I needed. Well, I won't die anyway.
"You see, after you saved him, he changed."
I started telling the story, but Peter cut me sharp.
"You couldn't have known. You died."
I could see pain in his face.
"He died? You told me he moved to abroad." Twilight gave Peter a sharp look, making him laugh panicky.
"You see... You were pregnant and I didn't... Well... Um.... I didn't want to tell you the truth when you weren't ready for it." Peter seemed to calm Twilight, but she gave him an "I will kill you" look and gave me a nod so I continued.
"Peter is right. I did die that day. But he didn't lie to you, Twilight. I was going to move abroad the day when that disaster happened." I sighed, remembering that day. "I sent him away. We were no longer friends. Even more, we were enemies. I was a new green goblin and he was Spiderman. I had family, he had job. I was married and had a son. But then things started to fall apart. Liz, my wife died of cancer, leaving Harry Jr. with me. Then was the time when I needed Peter's help. I was not a good father and I was a paranoid of anyone else looking after my son when I can't. So I asked Peter for help. He needed money, because bugle wasn't paying enough, so he agreed. Harry adored him!" I smiled remembering Harry's face when Peter was coming.
"Yeah. He used to call me Mommy!" Peter laughed. But no one seemed to be smiling. They were listening to me, so I continued.
"But then, we had to move, so I decided to push Peter away. That day when we were leaving, Peter went after Harry at school, for the last time. And that was the time I started going nuts. Green Goblin took over, pushing all the humanity out of me. By that time Peter was with the Harry at OSCORP. I was just destroying everything. Spiderman came to stop me, but he was a bit late. I threw the huge bomb into OSCORP where my son was. When I saw him, Green Goblin left, leaving me on a glider in the middle of the chaos and with a falling building. Spiderman went to save people in the building, but it was falling apart. I was the only one who could at least help Spiderman and my son. I tried to hold the building, pushing myself to the limits. But my glider... Well, it was to much for it. I tried to hold the building, just to give Spiderman some seconds, before building fell, burying me under it."
I made a pause. Everyone was listening and didn't interrupt, but I saw that there were some questions. "Last thing I saw, Spiderman taking out Harry Jr. I didn't really had a chance to thank you, Peter. I know it's a bit late, but thanks for kicking my butt and saving Harry." I smiled to him, as he scratched his back head, smiling.
"Well, it was my job after all."
"Harry?" Twilight looked at me questingly. "How did you survive it?"
Peter and Sunset looked at me with a similar gaze.
"Well, I know some parts. My brains are still a mess." I tried to escape, but it didn't quite work out. "In fact, it was Harry that saved me. I suspect that he took a charge over company, spinning off the medical wing, while I was in coma. It was long after I woke up. I suspect about twenty years." I sighed, remembering the man that was my son. How could I be so... Retarded?! "He cured the Green Goblin, but he also did something, so now I have super heroes powers. I suspect that with time, he hated me. I can't blame him. I betrayed him. He deserved a better father." A pause. I needed to take a breath. "However, he needed power in order to rule the company, so he went on Avengers. OSCORP was taking their powers, putting them into the one who could never threaten its director, but also could manage keeping their powers in one body. Apparently, the person they chose was me. They gave me super powers of other Avengers. The Avengers realized the betrayal to late and, well... It was a battle that they couldn't win." I sighed with a sudden pictures coming to my head. Captain America, Hawks Eye, Thor, Tony Stark and...
"Oh God..." I screamed in my head.
"Everyone! Get away from me!!" I said out loud, moving away from them.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Sunset tried to go after me, but Peter held her.
He understood.
"Don't. It's to dangerous. He is to dangerous." Peter said, letting her go.
"What's going on?" Twilight asked surprised by the situation.
"Looks like we have a trouble here. Harry has a ..." Peter tried to say, but a flash of light pushed him before he could finish his sentence.
Luna appeared, holding Celestia on her shoulder. Luna had a wounded leg and I could see it caused a lot of pain, but Celestia...
"Quick! We need help!!" She screamed, disappearing and reappearing closer to us.
Celestia looked awful. She had blood dripping down her lips on a floor. Her fur was scratched and dirty. Her left wing was bent the wrong way. But the worst of all...
"Oh no..." Twilight said before she fainted.
Celestia had a long sword sticking out of her side.
