New chappie! Also go to a site called it's got funny little strips on when Spider-man and Doc Ock were kids!
New York continued its day as usual. Crime spread throughout the city, or citizens going on with their daily life. But a rude interruption was about to take place.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes..."
"Just making sure. Remember the plan?"
"YES! You've been reminding me the whole entire week!" snarled Jack. It had been two weeks since the the generator accident and both had got accustomed to each others presence, with a few accidents here and there. Octavius grinned and looked around the corner. The University stood looming next to the Museum of Science. Students and professors walked in and out of both buildings. Octavius's heart gave a small lurch as he remembered that his friend Dr. Curt Conners works here as a scientist.
Friend of yours?
Octavius frowned remembering that Jack could hear his thoughts.
"Yes as a matter of fact! Now stop listening in on my thoughts!"
"But it's fun!"
"Shut up I-see-dead-people-guy." snapped Octavius. Jack glared at him. It had been a while before Jack had the courage to tell the doctor about his special gift. At first, Octavius hadn't believed him but he thought about it again when they went back to the cemetery and Jack asked him to step on a grave. There was hilarious consequences when a corpse popped up. Octavius jumped back three metres, despite carrying four metallic tentacles, clutching his chest to prevent his heart from popping out. Unfortunately, he had also landed on a grave and was nearly dragged down when a fat lady corpse jumped on him. And to further his embarrassment he had screamed like a girl. He still suffered the teasing of Jack and his actuators.
FOCUS!!!
Jack and Octavius winced as the upper right actuator's voice cut through their minds. They could hear the the other actuators giggling in their heads. The upper right actuator looked at them with its scarlet eye, like a mother. Both boys grumbled their sorry before looking at the University.
"Let's go." smirked Octavius. The smart arms voiced their enthusiasm by a small shriek and a nudge on the boys shoulders before hiding underneath Octavius's long coat.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker rushed through the crowds of students as he hurried to get to his teacher's next class.
"Parker!"
Peter turned around, slipping over in the process. The person who had called out was Curt Conners. He had light brown hair, with brown eyes, wearing a white lab coat. One sleeve was shorter than the other since he only had one arm.
"Dr. Conners!" sighed Peter. He quickly got up. "I'm so sorry but I can't talk now. I really must get to Mrs. Wood's class."
"Don't worry about that old hag." grinned Dr. Conners, waving the sentence off. "I'll tell her that you've come with me." Peter looked surprised.
"What do you want me for?"
"Your brilliant but lazy mind." smiled Dr. Conners. Peter shuffled his feet nervously as he remembered Doctor Octavius. He hoped that he survived the generator attack like he had survived the Green Goblin's attack. He had regained consciousness as he was carried off by the Green Goblin and was able to escape. But he heard that the generator had exploded and when people came to check out the damage, Otto Octavius and his "nephew" weren't there.
"So, could I just borrow you for a few hours?" asked Dr. Conners hopefully. Peter thought about it and nodded his head.
"Good! Follow me." said Dr. Conners, already walking away. Peter followed after him. Dr. Conners took him towards the University halls down to the laboratory areas. Using a swipe card provided by Dr. Conners, both entered the large room. White benches sat against the blue walls, with students calmly doing experiments. Peter looked at them with envy. The students here were Dr. Conners's favourites and he used to be a favourite. They walked amongst the students, stopping every now and again for Dr. Conners to examine their work. Finally, they arrived to another door. Peter widened his eyes. THIS wasn't just any door. It was a door that led to Dr. Conners's PRIVATE labs!
"Be proud of yourself. You are my first student to ever see this room." Dr. Conners said. The door opened, showing another set of lab benches much like the ones the students were working at. These though had an unlimited amount of test tubes, all filled with different coloured liquids, and cages with lizards.
"You never told me this existed!" said Peter in awe. Dr. Conners couldn't help but look proud. He took Peter over to his desk. It had to be since it was the only one that was piled high with papers.
"All this is for a worthy cause! If this succeeds, then all my work would would haven't gone to waste!" said Dr. Conners.
"What is it?"
To this Dr. Conners looked at Peter with a grin before walking to a nearby test tube rack. He examined the test tubes before picking one with green liquid.
"This Parker..." he said, showing the green liquid to Peter. "Will re-grow any limb." Peter looked at the liquid and then at Dr. Conners.
"Does it work?"
"Of course! I tested it on a rabbit."
"And?"
"Both ears grew back!"
"What had happened to the old ears?"
"I thought they were hairy carrots..."
Octavius walked amongst the corridors with Jack trailing behind him.
"What are we getting anyway?" asked Jack.
"Inside these labs there is a certain machine that I need."
The coffee maker!
"A coffee maker?! Can't you just get it from some shop?!" Jack questioned. All this for a coffee maker?!
"Mine broke down and this one does real good coffees." answered Octavius. "Don't worry I also need to access the files of a student."
Peter Parker!
"They guy that is secretly Spiderman?"
"The very same."
We will kill him!
"One of your actuators is very enthusiastic."
"No kidding. I think it's on a permanent sugar high."
"I say we name them."
"No."
Jack groaned. The pair went past the labs when one of the actuators starting acting up. Possibly the one with sugar high.
Father, Peter Parker is the labs! Along with someone else! Can we go kill them?!
Calm down you enthusiastic BIMBO!
Take that back smarty pants!
BE QUIET!!!
No need to yell.
HI JACKIE!!!
Great, one of them is warming up to me...
Can't we just do this?!
Jack and the actuators went silent. Octavius gave out a small sigh of anger."We'll go greet Peter..."
YEA!!!!
Octavius sighed again. Then, with one quick order, the actuators revealed themselves from under his coat. They grabbed the steel doors, tearing them from the wall. Jack walked into the room staring at the scared students.
"Okay peoples! You've got three options: You can leave now in single file, you can scream and immediately get killed by my friend here OR I can paralyse you all with my taser then my friend can peel the skin off your bones. Which do you choose?" The students looked at them for a while longer and calmly walked out in a single file.
"No one chooses the taser!" sighed Jack looking down on the taser's polished black surface. It had a small knob, showing the two stages the electrical bolt's power could achieve: paralysis and death. Jack was very proud of this since of course he made it. Unfortunately, he didn't know if it worked yet.
"Now, you go grab the coffee maker and I'll have a small chat with Parker..." grinned Octavius.
"Can I come see?" whined Jack.
"Fine..." groaned Octavius. Jack's smile stretched to his maniacal grin as Octavius tore yet again another door. Jack guessed that Octavius did this is because maybe a door did something to him once, maybe fall on him or something.
"Hello Peter and... Curt?!"
Dr. Conners and Peter looked at the newcomers with mouths wide open. Jack glanced at Dr. Conners then at Octavius then at Peter. Octavius's brain was racing. There was no way his friend was getting involved in this. Better get him out of the way safely, this was between him and Spiderman.
Jack.
Yes...
Shoot Curt with that taser of yours. See if it works.
Jack immediately took out his taser, shooting with precise aim at Dr. Conners' leg. Peter blinked with surprise. That was a quick shot. Dr. Conners looked at his leg then at Jack. His legs wobbled, making him fall backwards. His mouth widened in horror.
"No!" he yelled when the test tube he held was thrown in the air. It came down again, spilling its precious liquid in Dr. Conners mouth. He gagged at the awful taste. The room remained quiet the only noises coming from Dr. Conners. Peter looked at Octavius, knowing he couldn't attack lest he reveals his super powers. Suddenly Dr. Conners started convulsing.
"Shit, the guy's having a seizure!" Jack yelled. Octavius took a step back, his face an absolute blank. He noticed something different about Curt though. He looked at Curt's arms. There were two of them. Two working arms. Two working arms that were going green?
"The experiment worked..." breathed Peter. It worked too well. Dr. Conners' face went green and his jaw protruded and grew sharp teeth. A long green tail appeared tearing through his purple trousers, and green feet, each armed with four sharp claws. After the transformation was complete, Dr. Conners lay still.
Wow, he turned green! Do all humans do that?
Octavius didn't reply. He stared at his transformed friend lay motionless on the floor.
"Curt?" he whispered. He slowly approached his friend with caution. As his hand went nearer to his friend's arm, his actuators pulled him away in a second as the tail slammed into the spot he previously stood. The lizard stood up, its tail slamming into a bench. It screeched before staring at the other occupants in the room.
"Great, I've created another Chase Young..."
Hehe, had to be done. Also it isn't visible yet but the tenatcles have separate personalities. The top right hates Jack and everything that defines humans. The top left is in love with Jack (kinda like a little sister). The bottom right is bit blonde and on a permanent suger high. The bottom left likes to kill things.
I like the idea of two human lizard thingies...
