Chapter 12
Harry sat down in his chair in his Maths class. He set out his pens and took out the books he required from his bag. Harry saw Peter walk into the class. He had a black eye. Harry assumed that Flash had been causing him trouble again. Or maybe they were self-inflicted due to yesterday. Harry could not get his mind off what Peter said yesterday. Was Peter right? Was Harry right? All of that remained unanswered in Harry's mind.
…
The school bell rung, symbolizing that school was over. Harry put his books back into his bag and exited the classroom. He exited the classroom towards the front entrance. Only halfway through the hallway, Harry saw someone that he hated deeply. Liz Allan. Liz was fairly tall and had long straight blonde hair that ended at her shoulders. She was always wearing makeup whether it be pink lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner and other products. But the main reason Harry hated her was because of her boyfriend Flash Thompson. Harry and Flash used to be friends up until Flash found out he was friends with Peter. Harry had to admit, Liz was attractive. But Harry always saw pass that. Just before Harry exited the school he heard a voice…
"Hey Osborn!" a man yelled. Harry turned around. It was Flash. Harry sighed.
"What Flash?" Harry asked with a bored tone.
"I saw you looking at my girl!" screamed Flash. Harry sighed.
"Look Flash." Harry replied calmly. "Would I really go out with a stack of hay?" Harry said sarcastically implying Liz's long blonde hair. This made Flash furious.
"NO ONE TALKS ABOUT MY GIRL LIKE THAT OSBORN!" Flash screamed. Now the whole area was watching him and Flash.
"Yeah whatever." sighed Harry who slowly turned around for the doors. It wasn't that Harry was scared. It was because he was bored. Suddenly, Harry felt a weird feeling in his spine, urging him to duck down. Harry did so. He turned around to see that Flash had tried to punch Harry. But missed.
"Huh." Harry said. "Member of the football team yet you can't even hit me." Harry joked. Now Flash had reached his limit.
"THAT'S IT! YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT!" Flash screamed. Flash went to punch Harry. If Harry didn't have his powers, he would have dodged. But this time, he caught his punch. Harry then proceeded to tighten his grip on Flash's hand with no expression. It didn't take a genius to see that Flash was in pain. Harry let go of Flash's hand and kicked him in the nuts. Flash fell on the floor. Clearly in pain. Harry smirked.
"Too bad Eugene." Harry said smiling. Harry proceeded out of the school grounds and onto the streets of New York. Halfway down the street, Harry got a call from an unknown user. Despite knowing that, Harry accepted the call.
"Hello?" Harry said into his phone.
"Is this Norman Osborn?" the Caller asked. He seemed to have a raspy voice.
"No. He went missing a few days back. This is his son Harry." Harry replied.
"Oh ok then." The caller replied. "Since your father is missing we need you to attend a meeting at Oscorp." The man said. "It's about the future of the company and what other things we will do." Harry knew that he could not just let this meeting go on without an Osborn attending it. So Harry politely accepted.
"Sure. I should be able to attend." Harry replied.
"Great." the man replied. "The meeting has been scheduled for 3:20 today" He informed. Harry looked at his watch. This meeting was going to occur in less than 5 minuets! Harry had to hurry.
"Okay thanks uhh..." Harry stopped since he did not know the caller's name.
"It's Max, Mr Osborn." The caller answered. "Max Dillon." Max ended the call.
…
Harry made it to Oscorp just in time. As soon as Harry had entered, he was utterly confused. The Lobby was very empty. And by very I mean there was no one there at all. Not even the Secretary. Harry came to the conclusion that they were all at the meeting. Harry walked through the empty lobby until he stopped at the elevator. He knew that the meetings all happened on the 60th floor so that's the button he pressed. The elevator opened and Harry went inside.
When the elevator doors opened once again on the 60th floor, he noticed that there was no one there either. No one on the table, chairs or anywhere else. Harry was now very confused and spooked. He walked in the direction of the table to see if there was anyone hiding.
"They are gone" a voice said from behind Harry. It was the same person from the phone! Harry quickly turned around. What he saw was a man in a black suit and blue glowing skin. He was also bald and had blue eyes matching with the rest of his skin.
"You're the caller." Harry said. "You're Max"
"No" Max replied "Max is no more. After what Oscorp did to me, it's now Electro…" Harry knew that he was in trouble. But kept his cool.
"What did you do with everyone else?" Harry questioned. Electro chuckled.
"Tied all of them up in the boiler room." Electro replied. "Even better, I have that whole room set to blow" Hearing these word's sent a chill up Harry's spine.
"Now you may be asking why I am doing this." Electro said. "Well, the reason is because of Oscorp. Your fathers company. It ruined me. Made me the shit I am now." Electro said aggressively. "My original plan was to murder your father along with his company. But when I heard you on the phone, I thought, why not make Norman suffer, not by death, but by killing someone close to him." Electro answered. Suddenly, a ball of electricity come out of Electro's hands. He then pointed his hands to Harry. As he did this, multiple bolts of lightning knocked Harry out the window…
Harry had to think fast. Clearly stunned by the bolts of lightning that hit him he remembered that he still had his web shooters on his hands. He quickly pressed the trigger. No webs. Harry suddenly remember Tony saying that they require a certain amount of strength to be activated. But Harry was too stunned for the required strength. Harry kept spamming his web shooters, all with no success. Harry looked down. He was only a few feet away from the ground. Harry knew that this was his end. Closing his eyes, he accepted his death. But just before he hit the ground. He found himself at safety. What had happened? Who or what had saved Harry?
I am having a poll for who/what saved Harry. All you have to do to vote is to go on my profile, and you should see it on top of the page. Be sure to vote quickly before I shut down the polls! Closing Polls on the 14th (13th for Americans)
