81: Level-Up! [02]

—

Norman Osborn was sitting on his chair, his arms rested on the armrests, and his finger and foot tapping constantly.

He was taking deep breaths to calm himself, but everything seemed to be in vain.

He was in utter shock and disbelief.

He had never seen anything like this. But he was sure it was done by some sort of superhuman organization.

His entire Oscorp tower had been wiped clean in under five minutes. Every valuable piece of research was stolen, and only a few pieces of junk were left behind. Whoever was behind this, left nothing of value behind, and took everything with them.

From research to equipment.

His hard work… gone just like that…?

Normal took in a deep breath.

Let's calm down for a second.

Who would do such a thing? Why would they do it? And how did they do it?

It had to be someone who was greedy for his research, they might have been in need of high tech. Their research on supersoldier serum. Norman could think of many benefits they could get by stealing everything.

But the question was, how did they do it?

Norman was one of the top figures of society; so of course, he would know about Mutants.

And he was certain that it was their work. After all, they had all kinds of strange powers. Maybe some frsk with space abilities appeared and made mass teleportation possible?

Yes, that was pretty logical.

Now, Norman just lost everything, he wasn't sure what he would do, what could he even do?

His life was ruined.

Oscorp was everything he had.

Even if he wanted to rise back up, he wouldn't be able to.

The government… they will now ask questions about where all his research went. They'll charge him. After all, his research ass extremely dangerous, it could very well be used against the country.

And governments wouldn't like that.

Normal had no choice available to him.

He didn't know what he could do anymore.

– Click

A click resounded, and the door to his office creaked open. Norman didn't look up, he knew who it was, it was his son, Harry Osborn.

To be completely honest, Harry was an embarrassment to his family. Norman knew that. That is exactly why he always wished to have a son like Peter.

That kid was brilliant.

So much potential.

A son he could never have.

Norman had even proposed the idea of coming under his wing once, to Peter, but the kid had refused.

Norman respected the decision, after all, Norman respected smart individuals.

Harry wasn't smart.

But he was his only son too.

So,

"Harry," Norman said tiredly, his eyes wandering off to look at the secret door of a secret lab.

There was a secret something inside there.

Which might just be his last hope.

Norman looked back at his son.

"I'm retiring."

In a well-lit basement, a single man was standing near many tables and other stuff.

The tables were full of strange creatures and technology, and the man was focused on nothing but blood.

Peter was working on the blood samples, researching on them so he could create a version of the supersoldier serum for his girls.

He had realized recently that he was not going to be with them all the time, and during that time, they could get themselves in danger.

Yuri's situation was proof of that.

He also needed to start training them in combat.

His girls needed to be strong enough to hold their own against future enemies, he didn't want them to end up as his weaknesses. He didn't want some random shmo to use them as a way to threaten him into doing shit.

No, Peter wouldn't let that happen.

He was smart enough, so he could definitely create something.

Say, for instance, he made huge progress with the arc reactor, and might even be able to use it soon if he found a good enough conductor for the energy generated inside the arc reactor to travel.

He had nothing right now, but he had a plan to use Electro's blood.

He'd collected it back when he fought him and She-Hulk ruined his fun, but it seemed that the blood would be quite useful to create the conductor.

Anyways, Peter continued working for a while, but he had to stop when he heard a noise.

– Thud

The sound of something falling down.

Peter frowned and stopped his work, thinking if Yuri was awake.

He quickly put everything away.

He'd already put all the non-living things he'd stolen from Oscorp inside his [Inventory], but the alive stuff was out for now.

Say, the spiders for instance.

There were a lot of them, and Peter was sure they had some sort of powers too, although he would need to experiment first.

Anyways, after he was down putting everything but the living inside the [Inventory], Peter moved up, toward where he'd put Yuri.

It had been a while, and he'd already informed George that the criminal was dealt with, and that Yuri was perfectly fine.

Peter was certain that George knew he had killed the criminal. Peter hadn't said anything on the matter, so George was free to assume anything. Though, from how the talk with George went, Peter knew that the latter was quite satisfied with his work.

Peter ascended the stairs, and got to the ground floor. There, he started looking for Yuri.

She wasn't anywhere, which was really strange now that Peter thought about it. She definitely got up, where could she have gone without telling him?

She always told him if she was going to go home or something.

Peter's spider-sense blared warnings at him, and Peterndodged out of the way as a red creature fell from above.

Although Peter was able to dodge the first attack, the humanoid creature was too fast, and it tackled him down on the ground in an instant.

And when he finally got to take a look at it, Peter's stomach fell, and he recognized her.

It was Yuri, but she was covered in a red symbiote.

'What the fuck is going on?!'

Peter pushed her away as she tried to take a bite out of his head, Peter only used a bit of strength since he didn't want her to get hurt.

She tried to pin him down, and Peter tried to subdue her, make her calm down, so that he could do something about this shit.

But she was strong, even stronger than Carnage and Venom.

Peter was having a difficult time.

While he was wrestling on the ground with her, Yuri, on the other hand, was busy with something else entirely.

– 5 Minutes Ago –

Yuriko was startled when she heard a voice inside her head. A very distinct deep and raspy female voice.

'Calm down, I'm… Toxin,'

'Who are you?! How can you talk inside my head?!'

'First of all, please calm down, I mean no harm,' the voice, Toxin, said. 'I am as confused if not more than you are.'

Of course, Yuri wasn't able to calm herself that quickly; how could she? She was just a human with some training. She had just woken up a little while ago, and now this deep and raspy voice was inside her head.

She didn't even know why it was there.

'I want to know that too,'

The voice, as if reading her mind, said to her.

'You can read my mind?!'

'Yes…'

It seemed Yuri's training was kicking in now Yuri was getting calmer by the second, so she took in deep breaths to calm herself and when she was calm enough, Yuri focused on this Toxin person.

'What… are you?'

'I am curious about that myself. You see, I was just born a while ago. I had no clue as to what I'm. But I went through all your memories, so you could say we are one and the same person, but I have obviously derailed from what you are. Then, we are different beings. But we are quite the same too. I was born of someone, and was supposed to be inside you.'

'Take over you, eat you, and move on…'

Yuri stiffened.

Eat her?

'But after living through your memories, as you, I have come to live with you, and that person you love. I cannot, and do not, want to part from you.'

Yuri frowned. What the fuck was even going on?

Live together?

Love her and Peter?

'What, are you?'

Yuri asked her. She was a female, right? Her voice was of a female.

'I am… I do not know entirely. But I do know what I can do. Oh, and no, I'm not a female, I'm not a male either. My race does not have genders, how do I know that? I do not know. But it seems that I am a female if we consider your opinion. I would have been a man if I got into a man first. Now, I'm a female, though I can be with a man, but it would be weird for me.'

Yuri wasn't sure about any of this… she should go and ask Peter about it, he knows about this stuff the most.

'What can you do?'

Yuri asked Toxin.

'It is not what I can do,' Toxin chuckled. 'It is what we can do.'

Then, Yuri felt something come out of her. Something red, with a tinge of green in it. This, whatever it was, enveloped her entire body, hugging her figure.

Oooh, it feels weird.

Yuri felt weird. What even was this?

'Let me give you a basic rundown. I can do a lot of similar stuff as our man,'

Yuri's eyebrows twitched.

"Our?"

She asked to the thin air, moving forward. But it seems she wasn't used to the strength of this thing, and so, Yuri slammed into something, and it fell down with a loud thud.

– Thud

"W-what?!"

Yuri panicked.

"Calm down!" A feminine-shaped head came out of her body, and started wriggling in front of her. "It's me, Toxin-"

– Bam!

Yuri slammed her fist into it, and was about to scream, but in a moment, Toxin forcibly entangled her whole body.

"Calm the fuck down," Toxin said, and jumped up to the ceiling as she heard footsteps.

Who could it be?

Toxin thought, and when the man came into view, an unbridled hate erupted from within her, and she lunged at him.

Toxin didn't know why she felt so much hate for this man, but she was certain that it had something to do with her parent.

She knew that memories and emotions could be passed down, and she also knew that there was no way to avoid them.

She could just hope that Peter could put her in her place.

And put he did, even though it took some time, he managed to put her in place, dominating the fight.

Toxin's raging emotions calmed down, and she fell on top of him, huffing.

"I… huff, I'm sorry."

Then, she felt Yuri take over. The symbiote over the face got pulled away, and Yuri lunged at Peter, slamming her lips into his, kissing him passionately.

Toxin decided to move back for now, she'd messed up pretty badly. She just hoped they wouldn't hurt her.

'We won't,' Yuri said to her. What? She could hear her too?

'Yes, I don't know how, but when you lashed at Peter, I kind of got connected with you. It's strange to describe. But anyway, we won't hurt you. I won't let him do it.'

'Thanks…'

'No Probs.'

Yuri continued kissing Peter even as Toxin completely got sucked inside her body, and Yuri was left behind, butt naked.

Yuri ended the kiss, and pulled back, looking at him dreamily. There was a bridge of saliva between them, and Yuri was feeling extremely horny.

So, she grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him toward the bed.

They were going to fuck for the upcoming hours.

And she would make sure to enjoy every second of it.
