Chapter 37
The news crews buzzed with speculation, a crowd had gathered and cameras were rolling, the Oscorp board of directors were seated watching. In tribute to the late Harry Osborn, they had overseen the finalization of the one project he had been able to see to completion before his death. In all events were unfolding in a hopeful manner, Oscorp was taking a significant rise in PR following this unveiling and seemed to have taken the first step towards being a fairer, greener company while at the same time showing their remembrance and respect for Harry.
"The reaction if far greater than anticipated." One board member noticed.
Another nodded. "Yes, I think this shows us exactly where we need to go."
The third agreed. "So, we continue young Mr. Osborn's projects and take Oscorp in that direction."
"Martin Brenner won't like that, but nobody in their right mind would accept his radicalized notions." The final remarked sourly.
They were all in agreement of that and their plans for the future and watched, silently thanking Harry and wishing him peace. Also watching, disgusted and angry at his earlier rejection, Brenner glared darkly.
'Those fools, how dare they, how dare they reject me...I was giving us a chance, a chance to be the company we were supposed to be.' He thought angrily. 'Those mutant sluts need to pay, we have the means to do it, instead they want to put this crap on display instead, who cares about this nonsense.' He thought bitterly.
That was when he heard a noise and decided now would be a good time to retreat.
The cheering and noise of the crowd began to ebb away, the cameras began searching in wide arcs, as they all heard the sound, it sounded like some sort of engine. Then there were screams of terror as the newest Oscorp creation was destroyed in an explosion. Then the Green Goblin swooped into view while Sandman also made his entrance.
"Surprise, worthless dregs!" The Goblin yelled. "So, you dare, you corporate vultures and mindless masses dare use this for your own gain!"
People continued to scream and tried to run away, only to find the whole street area being covered in a thick fog and then Mysterio emerged from the fog.
"Going somewhere?"
Sandman laughed as he made himself grow to a larger height, reaching out to attack with his sand.
"I don't think so, time to crush some fools."
They both laughed as they began to attack the people in the crowd.
"What is this, no, we-" One of the Oscorp directors cried out.
He stopped short however, as did the others as suddenly the Goblin appeared on his glider, now hovering in front of the balcony on which they were seated.
"I should've known you'd do this." The Goblin snarled. "Stealing this for yourself, using Harry's death to your advantage."
"No that's not-" One cried out.
Another was even more shocked. "You, who are you, how can you possibly know that this is-"
The Goblin laughed and suddenly pulled his mask back. "I know all about you disgusting cretins!"
"Norman!?"
"No fools!" He snapped as he suddenly threw something at them. "The Green Goblin!"
At that point the Pumpkin Bomb exploded and wiped out the entire Oscorp board of directors.
From his hiding place, Brenner smirked as he watched the action unfold on the news, Norman had just exposed himself as the Green Goblin and wiped out the board of directors, his plan had finally come to fruition. After this attack ended and things calmed down, he could simply present the papers that had already been signed and prepped. Now Oscorp was his and he could do as he pleased, he could finally deal with things as they were supposed to be dealt with, particular in regards to those Mutants.
XXXXX
Seeing all this unfold on TV, Will was horrified.
'No way, no way, how could this...and Mysterio, that's gotta be Beck. He's back and Sandman is rampaging around too, along with Green Goblin.' He thought in horror. 'How can this be, they're all, they're all working together? Such chaos, so much death and carnage...not even Mr. Negative when he attacked the rally caused this much destruction.'
He knew that he really should hurry and get into his suit and hurry to deal with this threat. But this was bigger and far more dangerous than anything he had ever faced before. He actually had doubts, doubts about his chances.
"Will."
He turned to see his mother standing there, looking anxious.
"Mom, I...look at this, how-" He stammered.
Joyce stepped up, shaking her head. "I don't believe this...oh no, Will, isn't that…?"
He turned back to the TV and his eyes widened, there were his friends, all of them, they were present at the unveiling and were now trapped in the danger zone.
"No, oh my God, mom, that's…"
Joyce looked at him seriously. "Will please, you need to focus, they need help, they need a hero, someone to save them."
"But-"
"They need you." Joyce explained firmly. "They need to hurry in there and swing in to save them."
"Right." Will said softly. "Right I-"
He was about to head to his room to grab his suit when he froze in place, eyes wide. He turned to his mother and Joyce looked solidly back at him. Her words only now fully struck him and made sense and he realized right away what this meant.
"Mom...you knew?"
End of chapter, a startling reveal from Joyce and a terrifying attack, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
