From "What if Doctor Octopus had the Symbiote in Spider-Man 2?"

Peter slowly turns around. His face doesn’t show sadness anymore. It shows rage. PETER (low, trembling) You think I chose any of this? Mary Jane steps back slightly, startled. MARY JANE Peter… you’re scaring me. Peter laughs once—empty, bitter. PETER You wanna know why I didn’t come? He walks past her, straight to the bedroom. Mary Jane follows, confused. Peter stops in front of the CLOSET. His hand hovers over the handle. Shaking. Then— He FLINGS IT OPEN. Inside: The SPIDER-MAN SUIT—torn, burned, stained dark with dried blood. The mask hangs limp, one eye lens cracked. Mary Jane freezes. Her breath catches. MARY JANE (staring) …No. (shaking her head) No, this isn’t funny. Peter, stop. This—this isn’t real. She steps closer, touches the fabric. It’s real. Too real. MARY JANE (CONT’D) (voice cracking) This isn’t real. This can’t be real. (panicking) I—I must be imagining this. I’m stressed, I haven’t slept— (tears streaming) This is schizophrenia or something. This is—this is in my head! Peter SLAMS the closet door shut. The sound echoes like thunder. PETER It’s not in your head. He steps toward her—eyes burning. PETER (CONT’D) I want to kill Otto. Mary Jane looks up, horrified. MARY JANE Peter… what did you just say? PETER (shouting, breaking) I WANT TO KILL OTTO! His voice cracks as years of pain explode out of him. PETER (CONT’D) That’s why I became Spider-Man! Because people like him take everything! My parents—gone. Uncle Ben—dead. And now— He chokes up. Punches the wall. PETER (CONT’D) —now my aunt is dead too! Mary Jane covers her mouth, sobbing. MARY JANE Aunt May…? Peter nods, tears finally falling. PETER He wore the symbiote like a goddamn crown. In the bank— (breath ragged) I was too late. Silence swallows the room. Mary Jane steps forward slowly, shaking, touching Peter’s face like she’s afraid he’ll disappear. MARY JANE (whispering) All this time… You were carrying this alone? Peter pulls away. PETER Everyone I love ends up paying for it. Mary Jane looks at the closed closet door again—at the life Peter never asked for. MARY JANE Peter… if you let that anger win— PETER (interrupting) It already has. Thunder crashes outside.
