The Rift
Chapter 1: Prologue
Disclaimer: I have no claims to Marvel.
AN: FYI this has The Amazing Spider Man 2 spoilers in it, beware. Also I'm choosing not to acknowledge the part in the movie where Harry Osborne gets visited by one of his thugs, I'm just going to pretend he just spends those five months without any visitors (so any scenes with him when he was in Ravencroft shown in the movie will not acknowledged). Also, quick side note, this story takes place right after Spider Man returns. Enjoy!
Hello America, Welcome to Good Evening America, this is Jeff Sparks, your favorite host!
(Applause)
(Member of audience) You're the only host!
Yes, thank you. Now, here's the scoop, my sources have alerted me that Spider Man has come out of hiding.
(Applause and Cheering)
Yes, yes, thank you. Well, just in case you didn't know, Spider Man is a masked "super hero" that first appeared when one of Oscorp's leading scientists, Curt Connors, intentionally turned himself and others into a human-lizard like hybrids. This unusual incident resulted in a big victory for the man behind the mask and the police force, although most recently, he had to defeat the alleged Electroman and Harry Osborn, also known as Green Goblin. These two men were both ex-workers of Oscorp, Harry being the CEO, and inheritor, Electroman being an engineer. Currently, and Mr. Osborn (although Mr. Osborn's final sentence is still undecided) are behind bars while Electroman is ash at the bottom of the city's power plant. But surprisingly, after Spider man defeated these foes, he went into hiding, and it seems as if all unusual crime did the same. Some anti-Spider Man citizens claim that he should stay hidden because he seems to be more of an invitation to these unusual forms of crime, rather than a deterrent. Supporters of Spider Man shrug this off and claim that it is only a silly coincidence and it is a blessing he had helped us in the past. Although now it seems to hardly matter what any party thinks because Spider Man has returned, and we couldn't have chosen a better time than when he did folks because he stopped a mass bank robbery from occurring that would have taken the last of the city's funds to help complete the rebuilding of some of the devastated districts of New York. But surprisingly, ever since our favorite web slinger returned, the more unusual crime this city tends to have hasn't made an appearance. That's right folks, if you've been on a vacation, you haven't missed much.
(Laughter)
Ha, ha. Thank you. Although, I do have one crime mystery for you, the viewers, to solve, and you can post what you think on my web site on the pole bar at the top. But first, here's some background information. Previously, Harry Osborn, a.k.a. Green Goblin, was put in Ravencroft, as you all know, for, a few mental issues. There, he was inspected by, ironically, a few doctrine scientists from Oscorp, who were able to put his "little Green Goblin" transformation into submission. Which may help prove his claimed, innocence.
(Gasps)
(Mumbling)
(Members of the audience) What about his disease? Will that change the court's verdict? Is he still mental?
Ah, his disease you ask, well apparently when he put on a highly advanced suit, manufactured by his late father, why he did so is unknown, it had the healing capabilities to cure him of his condition. Also, my sources do tell me that the fact that he is no longer blinded by his disease and transformation will be considered. But, the FBI is looking into the possible reasons why he put on that suit and how he became, the Green Goblin. But he's not the only one under government eye. So, let me be the first to tell you that Oscorp is being prosecuted against for fraud, human experimentation, and worker neglect.
(Gasps)
More at eight. As for his sanity, the team of doctors and scientists who studied him claim that his insanity was caused by the neglected feelings he nursed as a child and the idea that he was dyeing and he couldn't seem to stop it. Will this factor in the court case, it's hard to say once you consider what I am going to tell you all tonight. It's so big, it might even turn the tables in Mr,Osborn's favor. Here it is. Three days ago, the exact time is unknown; someone, ones, or something broke into Ravencroft with a sinister intent. Who this person or thing works for is unknown, it could even be a government scandal, that is also unknown, but one thing is for certain, Harry Osborn's memories, have been stolen.
AN: I intend to submit a new chapter soon that will further explain what happened. Most of this story will be told from Harry Osborn's perspective, but third person interludes will occur from time to time. This story will be written in a past-present format where one chapter will be about his current dilemma, while the next chapter will be about his past, and so on (like in the third delirium book if you understand that reference). Although, this pattern isn't set in stone, I may mix it up, but I will tell you when each chapter takes place and what format it is in an AN at the top of a chapter, so no one will get confused. Feel free to review, favorite, and/or follow me or my story.
