Chapter 29

Dustin did his best to breathe easily, trying to keep himself from panicking. Yet he was nervous, he couldn't help it.

'I...I need to, I know how I feel but...but how do I even tell her.' He thought. 'I know I'm in love with Suzie and I want to tell her, but how can I...what if she doesn't, feel the same way, what am I going to do?'

He couldn't help it, he knew he had to take the chance. Even as he stood at the doorway leading into the cafeteria, watching Suzie as she sat at her usual table, having lunch. Swallowing back his nerves, he readied himself and entered the cafeteria himself, making his way to her table. As he walked over he spotted his friends at their usual table. Seeing him and noting his direction they all smiled and nodded, sending silent encouragement his way. Emboldened by that he approached the table at last and smiled.

"Hi Suzie."

She looked up and smiled brightly. "Hi Dustin, what's up?"

He felt himself falter but quickly recovered. "I um...I've been meaning to tell you something."

"Oh?"

"I just, um...well, we've been…" He stammered, cursing himself. 'Urgh yeah, real smooth Dustin, real smooth.'

Suzie however had her eyes going wide. "Oh, you...Dustin are you, are you saying you have a crush on me?"

He felt himself going bright red, reminding himself how smart Suzie was, he should've known that she would work it out all too easily.

"I um...yes." He admitted at last. "I'm sorry if you don't-"

"Dustin, don't even go there." Suzie laughed. "I have been feeling the same way."

With that she pulled him in close and they kissed, Dustin's eyes widening in amazement and delight as the kiss finally confirmed the start of their relationship.

Norman paced around his office, clearly in a panic, he kept looking at the computer on his desk, his phone, his watch. He was certainly not in a good place right now, the staff at the Mayor's office had seen this and actually did their utmost to stay away and avoid him. Only one person was unperturbed by this and actually entered the Mayor's office. Brenner was more than a little taken aback by Osborn's behaviour as he approached. He finally decided to just speak up.

"Is this a bad time sir, I can come back later?" He queried.

Norman turned sharply. "Everything is a bad time here. You haven't heard?"

Brenner raised an eyebrow. "Heard what sir?"

"Harry." Norman burst out. "He...his condition has gotten worse, he's had to be moved to hospital. I don't even know if…"

"Ah...I understand sir." Brenner remarked. "I'm sorry...I'll, I'll head over to Oscorp right now and explain things to them. You, you just wait for news."

Norman nodded and finally sat down.

"Yes, yes thank you, Martin." Norman said, managing to calm down slightly.

Brenner nodded and then turned and left the office. It wasn't what he was expecting but it certainly could work to his advantage.

Within his base, with his people readying their weapons and checking the vehicles they'd need in order to reach their intended destination, Mr. Negative stood over what he'd stolen, putting everything together at last.

"Finally." He growled to himself. "Soon it will be our chance, our chance for vengeance will come. Osborn will pay and we will strike a blow to him by destroying his greatest treasures...they are all gathered in one place which makes our plan all the easier."

He turned to his gathered men and showed his completed weapon.

"Now we will show everyone just how spineless and worthless Osborn is, the real one who should be buried in the dirt and treated like the scum he is." He announced.

His men all raised their weapons and cheered, ready to begin their mission now that their ultimate weapon, a powerful, specially modified and designed, bomb.
