"You've played enough with your lab mouse. Now let it go!"
Harry sauntered around the cage with a glass of bourbon, "I will, not yet. I want you to present my wonderful project to the world. I'll give you lines to read. After that, you're free to go."
She slapped her arms together, folding them, "Do I have your word?"
Harry tipped his glass against the cage, "Absolutely. Osborn's always keep their word."
"Then I'll do it."
He smirked, "You have to do what I say no matter what. I got the key to your freedom. Try to remember that." Harry snapped his fingers and the lights went out. Only the mysteriously glowing belt's light was left on as he disappeared into the dark and out the warehouse's door.
Aqua Arachnia sat in the dark. She placed her hand on her belt and pressed a button. An automated sound beeped over again. Realizing that the arms were under her control she called them out.
"Arms come out." The slinky metallic special alloyed arms instantly came from her belt. They were held infront of her face, seemingly unformed. She concentrated on each arm. Like clay, they formed tentacle claws. She focused her mental energy on each claw. Unlike Ock's, each tentacle had slender hand-like claws at each of the points.
"Bam!" The cage's door bent apart as metal pieces flew in every direction. She stepped out onto the ground. She inhaled proudly.
"I think Mr. Osborn that your offer has expired. As much as I'd love to expire, I have to go do something else."
The sun's rays touched May's eyes with a fury. She moaned in her bed and rolled over. The curtains had been opened a while for her to go to school.
"I'm getting up," she mumbled in her sleep.
She later got up and was ready for school. The bike ride to school wasn't bad, but the hot sun seemed to be all against her.
In school, May's friend Audene slept at her desk. May took the courtesy of poking her to get her up.
"Let me sleep."
"If I do that, Mr. Perkenworth will have a fit. You don't want to go to detention. It's the worst in the world. He'll make you copy words out of the dictionary then test you on them."
Reluctantly, May's argument was strong. Audene lifted her head, but her eyes still remained droopy as their mop-headed teacher arrived. Audene noticed that it lookeda little odd and started snickering. May's attention was drawn to Audene's laughter and looked over at her. Audene covered her mouth.
"He's got a toupee on," she whispered to May.
May smiled as Mr. Perkenworth turned and noticed their amusement. " I never know that History was such a funny subject."
May witted, "It is very sir," she watched his brow raise, "I heard that myth about some President had wood teeth and I think that's funny."
He smiled, "We shall get to that later. Open your books to page 114. We will go over the states motto's."
The entire day moved slower than a snail and May and Audene couldn't wait to get home. Audene craved sleep like chocolate and May craved webslinging. She couldn't' let her great physical shape start to slack now.
After rounding the corner on her bike, May heard a commotion in the fishing district. "Yay, I finally get to kick butt today. There hasn't been crime in a whole week and I think I've gained like six pound from the junk food I've been eating."
May leapt from her bike in the alley, ripped off her school clothes and changed into her styling Spidergirl outfit. The noise continued on
"I just hope my dad hasn't covered this one. He ruins my fun. I did my homework early, so I can have the night to websling. After all, I don't have homeroom anymore!"
She leapt onto a wall and backflipped in the air. She webswung before she would hit the ground. She whipped through the city like a zooming rocket. The ruckus was getting louder. Her Spidersense was going off like crazy.
"I hope it's not a bomb. Usually it's only mild for a bullet."
Like a slow motion movie, something came out from the side of the building flying at her. She flipped on her side in the air. It wasn't enough to get clear. It hit her foot like a hammer and she hit the side of the building landing on the roof. As she looked up she saw a strange person in a trench coat. His coat whipped around at the lashing wind. Glasses hid his eyes. A sharp smirk poured onto his face.
"Who are you?"
Ock's tentacles lifted up and out. "You don't know me. I thought all freaks know me. I'm the ominous Doc Ock. You're oddly dressed. Halloween's not anywhere close. " A tentacle slinked near her face.
"So are you? Who wears trenchcoats in this weather? Isn't it like 60 degrees?"
Sensing danger from behind her, she turned, seeing only fire crackers. She turned back, to receive a strong blow to her face and her vision darkened soon after.
