Webs and Shadows
Chapter 06: The Curse of Fame
Harry spent the last couple of weeks actually looking for a place to live. His meeting with Homeland Security and the Immigration Services went well. Captain Stacy really pulled through. Harry explains he remembers being in Highland Scotland, then he woke up in New York City. With no memory of how he got there. They asked him if he wanted to go back home, but Harry said he rather stay in the city. He would return once he completed his education unless he found something to keep him in the states. So they granted him an F1 Visas but warned him he could only stay in the country as a student. If he wanted to stay in the states, he would have to stay out of trouble and show he was a good citizen if he wanted a citizenship. Harry promises to keep his nose clean and to stay out of trouble.
So after two weeks of searching, he finally found a place, with Captain George Stacy's help. Who got him in touch with a real estate agent once Harry's gold has been funded. Harry found a penthouse in downtown Manhattan. So Harry grabbed what little stuff he had and moved into his penthouse. Harry also got accepted into Midtown High for his senior year. Something that made Gwen happy because it meant they would spend time together.
Which Harry wasn't too sure was a good idea because the last time they got together, they ended up fucking each other all morning.
Harry wonder if Gwen got pregnant from the encounter. He hopes not. That would be a really strange thing to talk about to her father about. He was pretty sure Captain George Stacy would have hauled his ass to jail.
Harry enters his penthouse and knew he would have to get more stuff. His place felt so empty with so little stuff inside. He was never one to really spoil himself with things. Yet he always refined from buying what he wanted so he wouldn't make Ron feel so bad about being poor. Harry always had to watch Ron sulk with living so poor he had to wear his brothers hand me downs.
Yet Ron wasn't here. He didn't have to lower his expectation for someone else. Or anyone else for that matter. He could live his life to the fullest. Not caring about what people thought of him.
Yet Harry wasn't ignorant. He knew a part of Ron hated Harry for his wealth. Because he was swimming in Galleons while Ron was struggling to obtain a Sickle. Harry never hated Ron personally, but he was sick of Ron's jealous to the fact his parents were better off than his own.
Perhaps he was being a fool when he wished for things to mend between the two. Harry remembers wanting friends so bad, he accepted Ron without question. He was holding onto Ron because he didn't want to be alone anymore. He was sure Ron was doing better now. If he was recognized as a War Hero. Though Ron did have a habit of telling tales that weren't true. Harry still remembers the story of what Ron said after the Second Task when he attempts to fight his 'kidnapping'. Hermione disapproved of his attempts to get some fame. So much that he couldn't explain so many important details.
Harry shakes his head and knew he couldn't dwell on the past.
Harry leaps up and lands on the ceiling.
His new abilities were out of this world.
Harry begins to crawl on the ceiling and looking at the world upside down.
This was so amazing. Normally when a person was upside the blood would rush to the brain causing lightheaded and dizziness. In some cases, they would blackout. However, as Harry hung upside he didn't feel any symptom as he stayed upside down for nearly thirty minutes. This was truly amazing.
The doorbell rings and Harry jump down. He lands on the feet gracefully. Given how he just jump about twenty feet from the ceiling to the floor, Harry was surprised he didn't hurt himself. He knew the average human being, wizards including could only jump maybe five feet before starting to feel the effects of gravity on their legs and feet.
Yet Harry didn't feel any of the effects at all. Harry would further have to invest his abilities to land from different heights.
Harry opens the door and sees Gwen standing there.
"Hey, Gwen." Harry said as he lets her in.
Gwen was going to help Harry study. They've had few sessions. Thankfully, they didn't give into their urges and fuck each other brains out. Gwen was also working on a side project to help their abilities.
Gwen walks over and sits on his couch. She drops her bag beside her and opens it. She pulls out a sketchbook and opens it. She flips a few pages and showed him a sketch she did.
It was a drawing of a female costume hero. It had a unique design to it.
"Is the outfit you're going to wear?" Harry asks as he looks at it.
Gwen nods her head.
"Are you making it?" Harry asks.
Gwen shook her head.
"I can't afford to blow my allowance all on the materials for this outfit. It would cost me thousands of dollars of special fabric just to get it right. Not to mention all the trials and errors I would have to go through just to get it right." Gwen said.
"What are you planning on wearing? Spandex?" Harry asks.
Gwen smiles at Harry.
"Spandex is not a good idea. For one, they are meant to be skin tight. Not to mention they don't offer much protection. If we plan on taking on the underworld and the criminal syndicates that exist in the city, we're going to need some kind of body armor." Gwen said.
That made a lot of sense. Harry was no stranger to know what a gun or a knife could do to him. A well-placed hit could cripple or kill him. Harry half wished he had dragon skin. Dragonskin was incredible to wear due to the fact it could withstand most spells and even muggle weapons. Yet Harry knew muggles had many means of protecting themselves.
"What do you recommend?" Harry asks knowing Gwen would be more familiar with what they need.
"Well for one, we're going to need a suit that has Enhanced Durability. One that is highly tear resistant. Capable of withstanding bullets and anything else that is thrown at us. It can't weigh much, as the weight would slow us down. We need to move lightly and fast." Gwen said.
This was true. Weight would slow them down and make them vulnerable to injury. The only problem was, Harry didn't know any lightweight fabric that could protect them, without slowing them down.
"Is there anything we could use that give us those features?" Harry asks.
"The only thing that gives us a hundred percent guarantee is Vibranium." Gwen said.
This was something new. He's never hard of Vibranium before.
"What's Vibranium?" Harry asks.
Gwen looks at him in surprise.
"You've never heard of it? It's what Captain America's shield is made out of. An ounce of Vibranium cost billions of dollars. It's the strongest metal on Earth. Three times less the weight of steel, yet nearly ten times stronger." Gwen replies.
This was indeed useful. However there had to be a catch.
"I'm taking it we can't get our hands on Vibranium, can't we." Harry said.
Gwen shook her head.
"The only place on Earth that has Vibranium is Wakanda, and they guard it very tightly. They have their own special forces that defend Wakanda from outsiders. Vibranium is not for sale, and I know much of the World Powers have long sought to acquire Vibranium. There are rumors there are small amounts of it on the black market, but I rather not get involved with the black market." Gwen said.
"What else is there?" Harry asks knowing the idea to get Vibranium was out of the question.
"I'm not sure. I can't ask my dad to get me a bulletproof vest. So that's out of the question. I know OsCorps has some military contracts and are in the development of some newly enhanced body armor. How effective it is, remains to be seen." Gwen said.
Stealing from OsCorp was risky business. For one, there was no guarantee you could escape.
"Do you know where they keep this enhanced armor?" Harry asks.
Gwen shook her head.
"If that information would be anywhere, it would be in the executive files on the thirty fifth floor." Gwen said.
"Should I pay OsCorp a visit?" Harry said.
"You would break into OsCorps?" Gwen said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well we can't exactly ask them for the materials can we." Harry said.
"Don't get caught. If you get caught it would raise questions. Not to mention your visa would be revoked." Gwen said.
Harry smiles. He has snuck around Hogwarts many times after dark. He rarely ever got caught. Just the memory of sneaking around brought a smile to his face.
"What can you tell me about OsCorps security?" Harry asks.
"They have motion sensors and heat sensors all over the place. If a rat was running loose they would know. It's not an easy place to break into." Gwen said.
"I can manage. I've snuck into places before and gotten in and out of some of the toughest security places." Harry said.
Gwen looks at him.
"You're going to have to tell me that story another time. In the meantime, I did make something that would be useful." Gwen said as she reaches into her bag again. She pulls out two strange equipment. It had a large circle with a long stick hanging off. "Try these." Gwen said tossing the to Harry.
"What are they?" Harry asks as he looks at them in his hand.
"Web-Shooters. You put them on your wrist and it shoots out web fluid. I made the web fluid myself. Took me a couple of weeks to perfect it. It's really strong stuff. More than capable of holding your weight. Not sure how strong it is yet. We're going to have to test its tensile strength later. True is I don't know a place where we can successfully test it. Not unless you can start up your own company and we could use the company as a shell company to hide our activities." Gwen said.
This was an interesting idea. Owning a company would camouflage Harry's actives. Give him an alibi and no one would think of a CEO being a vigilante. Harry did have the money and resources behind him. So it wasn't a bad idea.
Harry looks at the web shooters and presses the circle on the long stick. It fires a line up at high speeds Harry pulls his head back in surprise. It touches the ceiling and holds. Spread out like a spider's web. Harry grabs the line and could see it was actually holding.
Harry grabs it and flips upside down. to his surprise, the webbing was holding him.
"How did you come up with this stuff?" Harry asks as he now looks at an upside down Gwen.
"OsCorps has study spider webbing for a long time. The BioCable. Engineered from genetically enhanced spiders, the BioCable is capable of pulling a jumbo jet from a small vehicle. A single pellet can store several hundred meters in length. However, all their tests have failed, the strain is too much for the vehicles to handle and it was thrown away. Not to mention if a normal human attempts to do what we do, they would tear their arms out of their sockets." Gwen said.
Harry was impressed.
"This isn't the same stuff as the BioCable is it?" Harry asks. Gwen shook her head.
"No, I had to modify it at school." Gwen said.
If she was able to make this stuff from school supplies. Harry hate to see what she could do in a professional lab.
"What did you tell your parents?" Harry asks.
"That I'm staying over with you tonight. They won't complain but they are concerned. Dad especially is concerned that I'm spending time with you but he's a bit happy. It will take some time for him to get used to you." Gwen said.
Harry never had to meet another girl's father before. The only other girl's father he's had to deal with was Mr. Weasley. He never met Cho Chang's parents. Though he was sure any parent would love to have him as a son-in-law due to the fact he was Harry freaking Potter.
However, he was now in a new world and his name didn't mean much. So he would have to earn her father's approved to date his daughter.
"How long does the webbing last?" Harry asks.
"Once it's released from the pellet. About an hour." Gwen said. "Have you been keeping up with your studies?" Gwen asks as Harry flips and lands on the ground.
"Doing everything like you said. I just have to take a placement test to see where they put me." Harry said.
Gwen nods her head.
"I told my parents I would be staying with you helping you study." Gwen said.
Harry smiles and looks outside. It was dark. The sun had long set.
"What time does OsCorps closed?" Harry asks.
"They'll be closed in ten minutes." Gwen said.
Harry went to his room and pulls out his vigilante outfit. He puts it on and walks back out putting Gwen's web shooters on. Gwen pulls out her books as Harry jumps out of his penthouse and into the city night.
Harry jumps down feeling the wind pushing against just like all those time he was in a Quidditch match. He loved this feeling. It felt so natural to him.
Harry knew the ground was fast approaching. Harry fires Gwen's webbing and it shoots out at a rapid speed. It hits the side of the building and Harry was pulled from the building in a swing. Harry zips over the cars and was enjoying it.
However, he was also being pulled into the building. Realizing he was going to impact the building Harry reaches out with his left hand and fires another line. He avoids the wall and swings towards the other side before repeating the process.
Harry continues to swing around the buildings. Until he got to OsCorp. Which wasn't hard to spot as it was easily one of the tallest towers in the city. Not to mention the large 'OsCorps' sign on the side of the building was a giveaway.
Harry lands on the side of the tower and begins to climb up the side of the building.
Since it was dark and he was wearing dark clothing, no one took notice of him.
Harry enters the thirty-fifth floor and easily opens one of the windows. He crawls in before closing it.
Because of the blackout, a lot of the systems were still down. OsCorp was in the middle of repairing its system meaning its security system was still down. For the past month, they've been ripping out the damaged wires and trying to replace them with new ones. It cost a fortune to replace them.
This meant until repairs were done… OsCorp was relying heavily on security guards to protect the building from intruders.
A sudden flashlight appeared. Harry turns to it and could see a pair of security guards walking towards the area he was in.
Wishing he could just simply hide he look for a place to hide.
To his amazement. The moment he attempted to find one, his hands had vanished.
Harry turns to the window and couldn't see his reflection. Harry places one hand on the ceiling and hangs from it. He presses the window with his other hand and the window couldn't show him his reflection, but it could still feel his touch. His invisible finger marks could be seen.
The flashlight shines in his direction and Harry flips himself up on the ceiling and holds his position as the security guards came in to check the doors were lock and the offices were undisturbed.
Harry crept silently as they went to the CEO office. They open it and Harry followed them inside.
"Nothing. Let's go." The big security guard said to his partner.
"Who do you think is going to win today?" the other security guard said.
"I don't know. Hopefully, the Knicks will win." The first security guard said.
"I don't know. The Warriors have the best record in the NBA. I bet you a hundred bucks they'll pull an upset." The second security said.
"You're on. The Knicks are going to win it." The first security said.
With that said they turn and lock the door and argue about who was the better team.
Harry drops down to the ground and his little camouflage ability ended. Harry walks up to the desk only to realized that there was no computer. No screen or keyboard.
Harry walks up to it in confusion. He notices a blinking light next to a cube and presses it.
The light immediately filled with screens and images. Harry could see everything was on here. Unrestricted access.
Harry reaches into his back pocket and pulls out the eight terabytes hard drive that he bought. The good thing about this hard drive was that it had a cloud access storage.
Harry begins to copy all the files and looked through them.
Harry pauses as he looks at the personnel file.
Doctor Otto Octavius.
Harry clicks to find out more about this man but another screen pops up.
Password require.
Harry ignores it and looks at another photo.
Apparently, it was a military weaponize armor test.
Harry looks at the image. One had a suit with four tentacles. It was code name 'Octopus'. Another was a flight suit with the name 'Vulture' underneath it. Harry flips the screen and realized this one was fully armored. Had a horn with several weapons capacities. 'Rhino'.
Harry looks at the information to understand what OsCorp was doing.
Harry looks at the information and could see that OsCorp had a contract with a military power. However, it didn't specify what kind of organization. Super Soldiers they were called. To create soldiers with untold powers.
Harry didn't like this. From what Harry was able to gather, it seemed OsCorp was up to no good.
Once everyone was copied, Harry removes his hard drive and closes the files. He then went to the window opening it wide enough then he jumps out.
Once again, because he was so high up, he could feel the wind pushing against his clothes. He was going to need better clothes because the cold air was making his skin have goosebumps.
As soon as he was level with the nearest taller building, he fires a zip line from his webs and swings away.
Harry returns to his apartment.
Gwen was on the phone with someone. Most likely her parents.
Harry drops down and removes his mask.
"Look, dad, do you want to talk to Harry. I swear we're just studying. He has a lot to make up if he attends Midtown High." Gwen said. She mouth's ' he's so concerned' to him.
Gwen then hands the phone to Harry.
"Hello, Captain Stacy." Harry said into the phone's mic.
"Harry, my daughter is instant that she stays over with you tonight. I trust there is going to be no funny business." Captain Stacy said.
"We're just studying. We're going over…" Gwen holds up a book. "Algebra at the moment." Harry said.
"If I hear there is any trouble. I trust you understand what will happen. Nothing personal." Captain Stacy said in a stern voice.
"I understand sir. Believe me, nothing is going to happen. However given it was late, I don't think it would be wise for Gwen to leave my apartment." Harry said in a slow voice.
Even though his neighborhood was 'safe' crime still went underway. Most criminals went to areas and spots they were familiar with but that didn't mean there were those that moved around.
"I understand. Did you two already eat?" Captain Stacy asks.
Gwen reaches over and holds a yellow bag with Chinese words on it.
"Yes, we had Chinese Take Out." Harry said.
"I'll be over first thing tomorrow morning." Captain Stacy said.
"I"ll see you then." Harry said. With that said, the line went dead.
"He's very overprotective." Harry said as he sets Gwen phone down. He removes his shirt and jumps down on the couch next to Gwen. Gwen hands him his tangerine chicken and he eats it like he's never eaten before.
"He can be like that. Most boys don't date me or talk to me because my father is a cop. A good cop at that." Gwen said.
"He's not planning on making an unannounced stop is he?" Harry asks.
"He might. But I'm sure my mother is trying to calm him down." Gwen said.
They said nothing more as they got ready for bed.
Norman Osborn walks into his office and stops immediately. His window was cracked open and he remembers it being closed.
He walks over to it and closes it. He then turns to his desk. He then places the cube on the desk to see the screen light up. He presses a few buttons to see what was going on. The one thing about his office and the floor he worked on was security had an independent power supply on his floor for more security reasons. That meant his security cameras were working while most of the buildings weren't.
Norman Osborn presses the security feed and returns to when the motion sensors came alive.
Late last night, around eleven o'clock. He watches as an intruder walks to his desk and copies files onto a hard drive. After he was done he then pockets the hard drive and turns to the window. Without pause or hesitation, he jumps out the window.
"Menken!" Osborn shouted.
Menken quickly came in to see what his boss wanted.
"What is it, boss?" He said as he enters the CEO office.
"We've had a break in. Check with security to see who broke in here." Osborn said.
"A break in? On this floor? Boss are you sure that's even possible?" Menken asks.
Osborn shows the footage of the person in black stealing files from OsCorp database.
"Right boss, I'm on it." Menken said as he turns to leave.
"And fire the security guards while you're at it." Osborn shouted at Menken retreating back.
Osborn looks at the footage and could tell this guy was a pro. He snuck in rather easy into OsCorps most secure floor, was able to steal from his office and get away.
The question was, who was he working for. He had a long list of rivals and competitors. If he actually sold it on the market, OsCorp would lose billions of dollars.
Should he get the police involved.
No, that was unwise. He couldn't even go to the feds. Much of what OsCorp was doing, was highly illegal if this information was obtained by the authorities. Then OsCorp would be under investigation. Already he had to deal with the lawsuit from that unknown party that knew about his genetically enhanced spiders. That was already a problem.
Super Soldiers were a money market these days than a nuclear warhead. People would spend hundreds of billions on the creation of one super soldier.
It was clear he would have his own personal look into this. Men he could trust.
Harry and Gwen woke up and quickly got dressed. They didn't kiss or anything because they didn't want to give Captain Stacy any reason to give Harry trouble.
They were eating cereal as a knock on the door broke their train of thought.
Harry gets up to answer it and wasn't surprised to see Captain Stacy standing there.
"Morning Captain." Harry said as he welcomes the police captain.
"Is my daughter awake?" Captain Stacy asks as he steps in.
"Yeah, we're in the kitchen eating breakfast." Harry said as he closes the door. Captain Stacy walks in and sees his daughter in her pajama's eating cereal.
Harry returns to his seat and eats his cereal.
"How was your study session?" Captain Stacy asks.
"It was good." Gwen said as she nods her head. "He learns fast dad. Still sucks at biology." Gwen said.
"I can never get into that stuff." Harry said. "I'm more into computers and it's technological wonders." Harry said.
"So you're tech-savvy." Captain Stacy said.
"You could say that." Harry said after spending the last month reading and learning all about software programming and it's capabilities. He was trying to get better with a phone as the phones he remembers were big and bulky house phones. Now that technology has had a leap forward, Harry wanted to be in the field.
"I still think biology would be better. Learning about human cells is…" Gwen began. Captain Stacy pats her with his hat a couple of times.
"We've heard this many times sweety." Captain Stacy said.
"Well, it could improve medicine there is today." Gwen said.
"You came for something?" Harry asks. He wasn't here for the loan. Harry already paid him back with interest.
"Just making sure everything is okay. I trust I don't have to tell you if you break any more laws…"
"Dad." Gwen said interrupting her father.
"I'm just doing my job." Captain Stacy said.
"It's nice that you're worried. But I'm doing fine. With my bonds and gold settle in I'm doing fine." Harry said.
This was true. Harry was now sitting on almost ten trillion dollars. He was one of the richest bachelors in the world. The only person who was considered to be richer than him was King T'Chala of Wakanda who was sitting on a ninety trillion dollar net worth. His gold alone was worth around thirty billion, but his bonds. His bonds were as old as they come and they started out in the thousands of pounds a couple hundred years ago. Since the 1700's. Meaning each bond was worth nearly a hundred billion dollars. When Harry paid back Captain Stacy, he gave him a couple million in payment. Needless to say, they were shocked, but Harry said it would help pay for their children's college education.
"Any plans on what you're going to do with all that money?" Captain Stacy asks.
"Well, I'm thinking of building a tower. Maybe own a company and do something. Otherwise, I'll end up being bored." Harry said.
"What about College? Aren't you going to get a degree?" Captain Stacy asks.
Harry never really thought about it. In the magical world, there were no universities. In fact, the universities stages were taken during the sixth and seventh year at Hogwarts. Though if Harry remember, there was something called Master that was optional, but few ever went that far to get a higher degree. If anything, they're happy just to have their N.E.W.T.s behind them. He was sure Hermione would have gone for her Masters. She was the type to continue to further study though she did hate it when others were better than her.
"I probably should attend. I do need a couple degrees in business management. I can think of several things I need to learn before I can start a business." Harry said.
"Oh, you going to start a business. What are you going to do?" Captain Stacy asks.
"I don't know. Something to do with technology." Harry said.
"Hopefully you won't do anything illegal." Captain Stacy asks.
"Dad!" Gwen said as she voices her disapproval of his behavior.
"It's my job." Captain Stacy said.
Harry smiles. Given how he met Captain Stacy he didn't blame him. Especially with Gwen spending all her time with him. Harry wondered if he was going to stick cops to him now that he was a citizen. Or just play that card because he wants to and his daughter was now at the age to date.
Harry briefly wonder how his father or Sirius would have done if they had daughters and were at the age they could date. Though Sirius did tell him about the time he pissed off the wrong father in his sixth year and he was cursed at the station. The Bone-Hexing Curse. Sirius said it hurt like crazy. His father would laugh about and Sirius learn not to flirt with another girl in front of her parents.
Harry also wonder what his relationship with Gwen was. Was she his girlfriend.
Then again he didn't really know. He's only had two girlfriends. If you call Cho Chang his girlfriend. They just kissed and spent some time together. They've only kiss once and their only date ended in disaster with Cho crying over Cedric. Their relationship was over after her best friend Marietta Edgecombe betrayed their group to Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic. She attempted to make amends during the Battle of Hogwarts and fought alongside them.
Then there was Ginny. Ginny Weasley, Ron's little sister. That relationship was rocky as Ginny was clingy to him and wanted to make out with him. Plus she was extremely jealous for any girl that would look at him. Harry wanted to end that relationship as soon as it began. Though Harry didn't know enough about how to break up with girls and the relationship kept on going. It was really frustrating for Harry as he wanted to end it without hurting Ginny and Ron. He finally got his chance when Dumbledore died and he broke up with her. Under the false assumption, he didn't want Voldemort to target her. In truth, he was happy to end it with her.
Thankfully, he wasn't famous in this world, or at least no one knew about his fame. He was glad too.
"Speaking of which, have you read the Daily Bugle?" Captain Stacy said as he lays it down.
Gwen unfolds it and she spits out her orange juice as she looks at the front cover.
"What?" Harry asks.
Gwen responds by handing him the paper.
Now it was Harry's turn to spit out his juice.
The front cover was of him.
Harry grabs the paper and reads it carefully.
It clearly stated he was Harry James Potter. One of Europes richest bachelors. Rumored to have a networth in the hundreds of billions. He was private tutor from a young age at a private estate, but for reasons that have yet to be discovered, he has decided to come to New York City to acquire his high school diploma. It wasn't stated why he chose to come to America, but it did state the police wrongly accused him of theft before the charges were dropped due to a misunderstanding.
Then it stated his family history.
Apparently, his family is well famous it's long history serving England and the UK. His family serving on Europe's front in both World Wars. His Grandfather, Charles Potter was also famous for working alongside Howard Stark and helping the British-American front against the Nazi and Hydra. His efforts in leading to their defeats earned him the Victoria Cross, the highest award possible and the only civilian in history to get the award. His grandfather also oversaw the reconstruction of Europe and was known for sending relief supplies to citizens during and after the world.
His parent's history was also listed.
Apparently, they met at a private school and it was a scandal even when they were dating. Due to his mother not having any noble or prestige blood. Having come from a middle-income family. However, his mother was intelligent had acquired a doctorate at the age of eighteen. She married James Potter and was making progress with medicine and was finding a way to combat cancer cells and other diseases while at the same time, she was running a hospital despite her young age.
She had Harry Potter at the age of twenty but tragedy would struck the family when both James and Lily Potter were murder outside a theater. The murder weapon was found in his father's best friend possession and he was charged with their murder despite his claim of innocence.
It wouldn't be until fifteen years, after Sirius Black death, that the real killer was caught. Instead of allowing himself to be arrested, he took his own life.
No statement was ever given by Harry Potter who was a mystery as he's had few public appearance. All that was known was he decided to finish his education in the New York City despite having a scholarship to Oxford.
Harry sets the paper down and buries his head in his hand.
"So why didn't you ever say anything?" Captain Stacy asks.
"Why do you think?" Harry said as he looks up.
Damn was he curse or something. Now he was famous in this world as well. So much for living with a low profile. Harry was trying to think about it really hard. He was trying to figure out why he had a history in this world when despite only being in this world for two months.
There was no mistake about it. The magic he did have with him did alter when he arrived. Did that mean this world's history also alter as a resort? He knew alternating the timeline could change history. Was it also possible to alter the past with magic by dimensional jumping? That would be the case in this.
He knew Hermione would be able to figure it out, given how smart she was.
"You never said you were famous." Gwen said.
"I've always hated my fame." Harry admitted. "I've tried to run from it as much as possible. I never wanted it. Truth be told I be happy to be normal with normal problems. Worry about rent, my job performance and just getting a good grade. My fame makes it difficult to do move around as well. Believe me, at a private school I attended, I had followers and admirers."
In saying that, Harry leans forwards and buries his head in his arms.
"Do you want a police escort for school?" Captain Stacy asks.
Harry picks up the newspaper and reads it again. It didn't mention what school he was going to attend but given that his picture was out there, he was sure all kinds of people were going to be looking into him. He was sure journalist and reporters would be investigating him and stalking his lifestyle.
"Reports are coming in. No one entered the building or was spotted by security. All security and sensors outside your office didn't pick up anything other than the security guards posted and they ran their shifts every hour. Though it does seem impossible. The timing of the theft was too perfect." Donald Menken said.
"Meaning?" Norman Osborn said.
Donald Menken presses several buttons on his tablet and Norman Osborn looks at the main screen in his office. Osborn saw his security guards check his office before leaving. Menken freezes the timeframe and shows the appearance of the masked individual and shows his timeline. There was a ten-second gap between the security guards and the thief.
"As you can see, the security guards should have encountered the thief when he enters your office. No one is that good." Donald Menken said.
"There is now. Find this thief. Also find out who he is working for. Look into all know competitors we have. Find him." Osborn shouted.
"Yes boss," Menken said. He grabs the newspaper in his hand and hands it to his boss. "You should see this." He said as Norman Osborn opens the front page. Norman Osborn stares at it and realized this was something unexpected.
"Found out about him. See what we can do to get him into OsCorp." Norman said as he reads the article.
"On it boss."
This was very interesting. One if Norman Osborn played his cards right, he would have in his pockets. The Wealth alone was astonishing for someone so young.
Yet it was because he was young, he was also naïve. Norman Osborn could easily befriend the boy and have him surrender his wealth to him. With no parents or guardian, he would be easy to manipulate.
Norman already was forming a plan to get him at his side.
