Chapter 25: Making New Plans
(New York City, Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, several minutes later)
The Quinjet had landed outside the Academy. The students walked to the conference room, but Peter found and put on his suit on before meeting the others. He walked into the room.
"Glad to have you back, Mr. Parker." Director Fury said.
"Thanks, glad to be back." Spider-Man replied.
The others agreed, smiling. They were all relieved to have their leader back. White Tiger gave him a hard time on the way back, but there was no doubt in her happiness to see him back.
(Phew, glad I'm out of there.)
"Did you learn anything while you were a prisoner?" Director Fury asked.
"Mostly I heard mad cackling, but…Harry said this one thing: everything will look better or green…something like that." Spider-Man answered.
"He plans to unleash the Goblin gas across the city." Fury groaned.
Some of the students began yelling in panic. Some of them knew first hand how dangerous and destructive if the city became the Goblin's playground.
"What do you suggest?" Power Man asked.
"Mr. Parker, Mr. Cho, perhaps the two of you could duplicate the antidote the Goblin virus. One that will keep everyone from changing, and change back our foes back to their…normal selves." Director Fury answered.
The two nodded.
"We'll have to increase the range of the effects. I'm thinking some kind of dome. It will keep the virus from taking effect inside it, and completely reverse the effects of those already changed." Spider-Man said.
"I'll start working on the transference of the energy. We'll have to be able to have the device to greaten the energy's power." Iron Spider said.
Spider-Man nodded.
"Sir, shouldn't we go bring them down?" White Tiger grunted.
"Unfortunately, they have most likely have moved their headquarters. I will send a detail of men to check for any sign of them there, and possibly search for clues for where they've left to." Director Fury sighed.
White Tiger growled in annoyance, claws twitching angrily.
"Relax Ms. Ayala, we will not allow them to get away with what they've done. Taking one of my agents hostage is something I do not take lightly." Director Fury said.
White Tiger nodded, but grimly.
"So he knows who you are now, huh? Great…I'm glad we moved your loved ones out of the city when the Goblin came back on the scene." Director Fury said.
"Again, thank you for that." Spider-Man replied.
Director Fury nodded.
"What about the city's citizens? Shouldn't we…you know…move them out of the city?" Agent Venom asked.
"That decision…well…S.H.I.E.L.D. if we used mass transportation to move the citizens out of the city, the Goblins could hide the virus within our transports. Even with our security, we fear that the Goblins could very well achieve this. They were able to break into our Tri-Carrier without much challenge." Director Fury sighed.
Agent Venom rubbed the back of his neck, nervous at the thought of what could happen if…he didn't even want to finish the thought.
"I'm still having patrols continuing. You must be more careful now, for the Goblins could have stationed their new base anywhere in the city. This meeting is over." Director Fury said.
The students nodded then laughed.
(Northwestern Manhattan, several moments later)
The Goblins had gathered in an abandoned theatre. There is a power plant nearby that Goblin has been leeching energy from to help with his…exploits. The Green Goblin and Hobgoblin stood on the stage, lights from above flickering like in a horror movie, and their henchmen muttered under their ragged breaths. They weren't pleased they ran from their previous headquarters.
"Father…" Hobgoblin started to whisper to the Green Goblin.
The Green Goblin raised his left hand to silence his son.
"SSSHHHUUUTTTTPPP UUUPPP!" The Green Goblin roared, his voice shaking the halls of the theatre.
The Goblin henchmen were suddenly silent. All sickly eyes were now on the Goblin.
"We were cast out of our last headquarters! That will not happen again! S.H.I.E.L.D. shall not think to look for us near such a populated area!" The Green Goblin said.
The crowd was quiet, unsure of what to say.
"I have gained the weapon I desired, and I have plans to raid Oscorp to obtain the means to greaten its power. Of course S.H.I.E.L.D. will have tight security there, but I have enough power to bring them to heel!" The Goblin growled.
Some of the Goblins chuckled, wicked grins spreading across their hideous faces. Despite all of them originally being gang members of various backgrounds and stories, the Green Goblin had found their mass numbers to be useful in his fights.
"You all now know who Spider-Man is! His family and friends are either hidden away or with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters. The Academy where the children are stationed, is a future target of ours to reduce to rubble. For now, we plot for the next phase of my plan." The Goblin said, his voice snarling and dripping with anger.
Hobgoblin's demeanor changed as well. He thought Peter Parker to be a powerless, pathetic young man. But when he learned the truth…when he learned that 'Puny Parker' had always been Spider-Man, he found it to be hilarious. He had gotten a great laugh from it. He thought the wall crawler being someone who could be beaten up by an elderly man with a pair of glasses was one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top agent and the world's masked heroes. But there was also a part of him that enraged him. Hobgoblin believed himself to be clever, brilliant even…but not being able to see through Peter's charade…it felt like a stab in the back
"We will take this city! S.H.I.E.L.D. may stand for now, but they are merely an obstacle to be overcome!" The Goblin grunted.
The Goblin henchmen chuckled, their sickly excitement could be heard in every breath of theirs.
"The power plant next to us has enough energy for me to power the machine I am building. It will not be long before the weapon is complete, but I need more resources to build what is needed." The Goblin said.
The henchmen nodded, jagged smiles now faded in almost serious nature.
"Be ready!" The Green Goblin said as he began to walk off the stage with his son behind him.
The Goblins watched as their leader began to walk off, all of them could see and even feel the anger boiling off him.
"The next phase begins!" The Goblin grunted before he and his son walked out of sight.
To be continued…
