I DON'T OWN ANYTHING
Chapter One: Chameleon in the Shadows
Oscorp, within the dark office of its CEO Norman Osborn, the said man was looking at dozens of news footage of the heroes Spider-Man and Red Elf. Ever since their arrival, the man had almost been obsessed with finding out who they were as they had one thing he needs; physical power. See Osborn was dying of a rare blood disease and his doctors stated he has one year at least to live.
"Who are they *cough*?" Osborn asked himself before he had his usual coughing fits, he looked to his hand as there was a small amount of blood.
"You called Mister Osborn?" A man in shadows asked behind him with a thick Russian accent.
"I need to find out who these two are before its gone, you use to be a spy so do what you do best." Osborn orders as the man in shadows gives a bow and leaves but not before his body shape flashes in a blinding light and a security guards walks out the office with a wicked grin.
The next morning.
In a small house in Forest Hills, Peter Parker was getting ready for his and his sister's final year of school. He puts his backpack on and turns to see Lucy's now full grown dog, Rakkī, waiting for him as he whined.
"Lucy's still asleep isn't she?" Peter asked as he kneeled down to pet the dog and his head. Rakkī's response was a bark.
Peter chuckled and made his way to Lucy's room across the hall. He stops to see her door closed and her "golden rule" of knocking three times before entering is still engraved into the door.
"Well it says knock three times." Peter muses as he knocks on Lucy's door three times and enters his adoptive sister's room. Once in he could see the girl passed out on her bed. Deciding to wake her before they would be late for school, he noticed that she had he sketchbook out and must've been drawing after their patrol. Looking at the sketch, it depicts him and her when they were younger.
"Hey wake up sis." Peter gentle shakes his sister.
"Go-bu ijō..." Lucy mumbles in her sleep in Japanese.
"Well, if you want to be late on our first day." Peter joked as he had a plan to get her up quickly. I didn't take long for Peter's words to register in Lucy's mind as she instantly bolted out of bed and ran to the bathroom to get changed.
"I'll be downstairs when you finish." Peter calls out as he leaves her room. He remembers how Lucy use to be very shy once she moved into America, but over time she broke out of her shell and that was before she found out about her "gift".
Once downstairs, Peter looks to see his Aunt May cooking breakfast. Despite the death of Uncle Ben, Peter and his family tried to live in his name instead of mourning his lost.
"Good morning Peter! Where's Lucy?" Aunt May asks but not before getting a kiss on the cheek by her nephew.
"She's getting ready, pulled an all nighter drawing again." Peter answered as he sits down.
"I didn't pull an all nighter!" A female voice yelled as the two Parkers look to see a fully dressed Lucy as she walks down the stairs. "It was only two hours."
"Well enough fussing you two, breakfast is ready and your lunches are in the fridge. Last thing we need is you two being late for work." Aunt May told her nephew and niece.
"Yes Obasan." Lucy said with a smile as she sat down as well. Eight years have past since she was adopted and was glad to be in a loving family. She wondered what would've happened if she stayed in that horrible orphanage.
Meanwhile across New York City, specifically in biker bar, several men where having drinks and talking, what's usually seen at a bar.
It was then a man in a heavy cloak walks in and has a seat in the booth. The mystery man's very presence gives those in it a bad feeling.
"A simple shot of vodka, nothing too fancy." The man said as the bar tender nods and gives the man his alcohol. "Also I heard that this bar was saved by the heroes Spider-Man and Red Elf correct?"
"Uh yeah? They saved this place when a bad bar fight broke out. You a reporter?" The bartender asks.
"No..." The man responded bluntly "...just one looking for information..."
It was then one of the bikers had enough of the mystery man and got up.
"I can tell you Russian and we don't take kindly to your kind." The biker growled.
"Now now, no need for a scuffle." The bar tender tried to calm the biker down.
"... and new faces." The man grinned as he revealed his face, only that to be a blank white face mask. He then pulls out what looks like a gun and pulls the trigger and instead of a bullet, the bikers face was covered in a sticky, green substance. The biker tries to pull the substance off his face, but it seems to become tighter and tighter until he suffocates from the lack of oxygen.
"The nanites must be working, facial recognition is complete." The mystery man said to himself as other people looked in horror to what had happen.
"W-who the hell are you?" The bartender asks in fear.
"The Chameleon." The man proclaimed as in a flash of light, his appearance changed to that of the deceased biker "And I will be the one to sneak up on the heroes."
Back with the heroes, Peter and Lucy managed to get to school on time as the were opening their lockers to get their supplies.
"Peter! Lucy!" A familiar voice yelled behind them as Peter's girlfriend and Lucy's best friend Gwen Stacy came and gave Peter a kiss and Lucy a hug. "So anything crazy happened on your last night of summer?"
"Nothing too crazy...me and Luce decided to finish our summer night job." Peter said trying to be slick on his answer as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Did that involve a lot of physical work?" Gwen asked with a sly grin as she knew what her boyfriend meant. She remembers how not long after they started dating, the siblings revealed their super powered alter ego and at first she was scarred, she now fully supports their decision as she saw how they helped the people of New York.
"Maybe." Lucy joked as she plays along.
"Well if isn't it the Parkers!" A loud voice yelled behind them as former bully now school goof off Flash Thompson appeared behind them.
"Well isn't it the big lug himself Flash!" Peter mocked as at first him and Flash hated each other's guts, but since his Uncle's death, Flash showed he has a heart and the two can be described as "frenemies" as they tried to prank and poke fun at each other. That and Flash seems to be scarred of Lucy as the pink haired girl used to be very protective of Lucy as her "death stare" became infamous to the entire school.
"Well it's a new year and I got so much planned for you and just because I've showed I can be a nice guy, I will not show mercy and I won't be scarred of your sister." Flash proclaimed.
"Really Baka Flash?" Lucy smiled sinisterly that made Flash back away a little bit.
"Also where's Harry?" Gwen asks.
"You know I was going to ask the same thing. Maybe he's still on his world tour vacation?" Peter asks as he noticed his best friend is missing.
As it turns out Harry was with his father at their dark mansion who was recovering from a coughing attack.
"It's getting worse Dad..." Harry said grimly.
"I know that boy." Norman said darkly. "But I won't die, an Osborn never looses."
"Look Dad, your stressing yourself over Oscorp, especially ever since Mom's death-" Harry tried to until Norman grabbed his wrist hard.
"DON'T. YOU. DARE. Emily's passing is not killing me. This damn disease is and I won't stop finding a cure." Osborn said with a dark determination "And nothing will stand in my way."
To be continued.
