Chapter 5

OsCorp

"We at OsCorp are dedicated to the sciences and technology of the new world!" The guide finished leaving Tony and Natasha in a daze from the boring tour they were given. The girly guide giggled and took her small tour group through the double doors and once Peter spotted the door to the spider research lab he tugged on Annie's arm and led her through the door just as a scientist walked out. He looked at them and quickly went back to scanning his phone for a number. Peter went though his mind of the doors he went through to getting into the lab and once he reached the white door to the area it was locked. He peered through the window and saw the lab was empty.

"Dammit!" Peter hissed and the two of them hid from approaching guards down the hall.

"What now?" Annie asked him.

"Harry must've hid them after he discovered I was Spiderman. He knew I would go back and destroy the experiment to keep him from getting the venom," Peter hissed and they walked back out to the tour group.

"Nothing?" Natasha whispered. Annie shook her head and Tony made a sour look before looking through his tour guide book and raising his hand. The tour guide blushed and picked on him once she realized who he was.

"Yeah hi, where is the spider experiments located? We heard OsCorp was performing special spider experiments for their venom," Tony replied and Natasha slugged him in the back.

"Idiot," Natasha replied.

"Sorry Mr. Stark, that experiment isn't opened to the public. You would need special permission from the board of directors to access the spider lab," The guide replied sweetly.

"Damn, well I'm going to have to ask Henry Osborne himself for access," Stark replied and the guide nodded at him before continuing on with the tour. Peter grabbed Annie's hand and pulled her away from the tour group once he saw the familiar door to the spider experiments. Stark and Natasha turned and watch them vanish.

"You think they found it?" Natasha asked him.

"No, more like a janitor's closet to make out in. I hate teenagers," Stark replied and grabbed one of the coffee cups from the nearby table. Natasha grabbed it and put it back.

"We don't steal," She replied.

"It's not stealing. I was just going to borrow it and put it back later." He grabbed the cup back from her and took a sip from it.

"You sure this is the place?" Annie asked once Peter shoved her into a small lab room consisting of tall containers that were empty.

"They were in here! They must've moved the experiment somewhere else…" Peter replied. They heard footsteps and the two of them jumped into the nearby closet and watched two scientists walk in carrying a small box.

"This used to be the spider experiment room. We moved it after Mr. Osborne's death into the secured area in the basement. The experiment is as we speak extremely helpful on our part. The spiders are producing fantastic results," One of them explained.

"Do you think their bites could produce someone to be like… for say… Spiderman?" The other asked. The doctor laughed. "Spiderman is just some silly boy in a costume with the ability to produce a web spinning gadget." The other doctor looked offended as his buddy left the room. Once the door closed Annie stepped out of the closet and looked at Peter.

"If only they knew," Peter replied. Annie smiled and her earpiece made a beeping sound.

"Yeah?" Annie asked.

"Annie? Yeah… Stark got kicked out of the group for stealing a radioactive vile and we're outside," Natasha cooed.

"I DID NOT TRY TO STEAL IT! I WAS JUST LOOKING AT HOW IT WAS ABLE TO-"

"OH SHUT UP YOU WERE CAUGHT TRYING TO PUT IT INTO YOUR POCKET!" Natasha screamed back. "Anyway, did you find the spiders?"

"Nope. They're in the hidden basement level. It's top secret now. I'm wondering if they got word that maybe Spiderman was bite by one of these buggers," Annie replied. Peter started shifting through the cupboards and drawers. A pen on the lab desk fell onto the floor and under the lab table. He ignored Annie yapping away with Natasha about plots to sneak in and his skin prickled. His attention went to the pen on the ground and he picked it up before looking under the table. It was pitch black and Peter turned on his phone's flashlight and yelped. Annie turned and looked at Peter searching under the table.

"Hand me a box or something!" Peter shouted. Annie looked around and saw a plastic container and handed it to him. A few moments later he pulled back and grinned at her. Inside the box was a small spider with a blue body and long black legs.

"Is that?"

"Yep, one of the famous experiment spiders. He must've escape and hid before they took his brothers downstairs. I feel bad for the little fella," Peter replied and he stabbed a few tiny holes for the spider so it could breathe on the lid. "Now we just need to sneak out with this…" Annie grabbed the box and stuffed it into her purse.

"Idiot," Annie said and walked out. Peter noticed a closet and nudged Annie. She looked over and glared at him. "Oh come on..." Peter replied to her glare. "You had enough after yesterday, don't even start with me, Parker," Annie snapped. She clicked on her microphone.

"We got a spider. Be out in 10." Natasha didn't reply and Annie checked her signal. She walked out with Peter and saw everyone on the floor looking out the window.

"What's going on?" Peter asked one of the helpers.

"IRON MAN!" One of the scientists screamed. The window shattered behind Annie and she covered her head from the falling glass.

"ANNIE GET OUT OF THERE! LOKI'S HENCHMAN JUST ARRIVED!" Natasha screamed into her earpiece. Annie opened her eyes and tried walking. Her vison was blurry and the world twisted and turned. Peter grabbed Annie's arm and helped her into the elevator where he quickly threw on his mask and tossed his belongings into his backpack. The elevator chimed and Peter held onto Annie as he rushed her out the door and into the black car waiting for them.

"She has the spider! Take her back to Fury!" Peter yelled and slammed the door shut as the car sped away.

"Are you all right, Annie?" Someone asked. Annie opened her eyes and saw Henry Osborne was sitting in front of her.

"What the hell is he doing here?" Spiderman yelled at Natasha.

"I don't know, spider boy! HOW ABOUT MAYBE BECAUSE HE'S SPYING ON US!" Natasha screamed and blocked a fireball heading her way. Spiderman shot a web and spun himself into the air as he followed Iron Man to the solider dressed in black. Where was Captain America? Spiderman dodged a fireball and fired a web, the solider turning it into dust.

"You're useless here, kid," Stark replied. Spiderman shot an angry look at him and spun himself to the ground. The soldier was firing fireballs all over the place aiming for Stark.

"HEY NOW! Come on you're going to set the whole city on fire!" Spiderman shouted. The soldier stopped and looked at Spiderman.

"Are you the one they call Spiderman?" The solider asked.

"You are?" Spiderman asked him.

"Master wants Spiderman dead. Master says Spiderman must be destroyed!" He threw a fireball at Spiderman and Spiderman ducked.

"COME ON NOW!" Spiderman whined.

"Fury has decided to offer me a post on the team if I give him all official records of OsCorp," Henry cooed as Annie glared at him. She felt the spider move around in its container inside her purse. Henry's eyes glittered in the sun and she looked away.

"You just info on Spiderman," Annie hissed at him.

"So what if I do? You can't be hard on a man who is interested in what makes a spider… tick."

The driver turned on the radio.

"Whoever is attacking the city is after Spiderman! There is a man dressed in all black throwing fire at Spiderman!" A witness shouted on the news. Annie froze. Loki found out about Spiderman and wants him dead. Henry looked annoyed as he listened to the report. Fury's assistant was sitting shot gun and noticed Zelda pulling out the small spider container.

"Give this to Fury. Don't let anyone else take it, understand?" Annie handed her the box and opened the car door as they stopped at a red light.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Henry screamed at her.

"Rescuing Spiderman!" Annie replied and tore down the street before hitting the alley where she changed quickly and transformed her necklace into her shield. She tested the air before using her shield as a board as she took off into the sky, an ice path following her. Annie saw a small explosion near Times Square just in time to see Peter rip through the air and smash into a nearby building.

"SPIDERMAN!" Annie screamed and rushed over towards him. Peter pulled off shredded glass and picked himself up.

"You better get Thor down here right now!" Peter yelled at her.

"Why?" Annie asked.

"Because Loki has finally made his appearance."

Harry was sick and tired of Peter's games. He sat and waited in Fury's office, the news of Loki's return addressed all over CNN.

"I'm very sorry about your father's passing. Is there anything I can, Mr. Osborne?" Fury asked Harry. Harry smirked and pulled his black glove off, his sickly green hand was still recovering from Peter's attack on him at the clock tower. Fury looked at the hand and slowly pulled out his phone from his pocket. He did not trust Harry.

"Oh put your damn phone away, Fury. I know what you're thinking. I killed Peter's stupid girlfriend but I'm not harming anyone anymore. I'm done with Spiderman's games around here. If he wants to be the little hero, fine by me but he already had a chance at fame. I deserve the spotlight now," Harry said. Something exploded from down the block and Fury quickly spun around to see Loki's right hand man sticking onto the glass. The window shattered and Fury covered his face before pulling out his gun and firing every bullet he could at the intruder. The man fired a sleeping dart at Fury and Fury slammed into the wall and fell to the ground.

"Well… look who we have here… if it isn't the little bird that brought us here…" Loki said as he entered the room from behind Harry.

"How…-"

"Oh he broke the window on the other side the floor, I killed everyone who saw so let's just make this quick… I won't kill you, Harry. I'll make you a deal."

"What kind of deal?" Harry asked. Loki snickered and looked over at his friend.

"If you kill Spiderman I'll give you this," Loki said and pulled out a small vile that was filled with a green liquid. Harry took the vile and studied it.

"What is it?" Harry asked.

"A memory eraser. Whoever drinks it will forget a certain person that they ever met them… I think a certain someone should forget a certain person, shouldn't they?" Loki asked as Harry looked up at the TV and saw Annie helping people out of the rubble from Times Square, Spiderman was beside her pulling chunks of cement out of the way. Harry's skin boiled. He hated Spiderman. He wanted him dead.

"Deal."
