Peter and Wanda arrived at the bustling subway station, joining the throngs of people commuting through the city. As they stepped onto the train, they scanned the crowded carriage for available seats. A stroke of luck was on their side as they managed to secure two seats next to each other, albeit in a tightly packed corner.
Settling into their seats, Peter and Wanda found themselves pressed closely together, their shoulders touching due to the limited space. Despite the discomfort, they exchanged understanding glances and shared a lighthearted smile.
As the train began its rhythmic motion, the noise of conversations and the gentle hum of the train enveloped them. They sat in companionable silence, their thoughts drifting away momentarily. Every now and then, Wanda's head would unintentionally rest on Peter's shoulder, causing her to startle awake and quickly readjust her position, a sheepish smile dancing across her lips.

"Wow, Peter, these exhibits are incredible!" Wanda exclaimed with wide-eyed wonder. "I really like this section on quirks. It's cool how they added it."
Peter nodded in agreement, a smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, it's great that they've included a section. But you know what? I saw on the map that there's an Oscorp exhibit. They have a guest speaker, and I think it would be cool to check it out."
Wanda nodded as she considered Peter's suggestion. "That sounds fun! So we can go if you want."
Peter's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm as he responded, "Let's go then!" Without hesitation, he reached out and gently clasped Wanda's hand. Their fingers intertwined, their palms pressed together, creating an unspoken bond between them.
With an instinctive pull, Peter guided Wanda through the museum, weaving through the crowds. His excitement propelled him forward, but his grip on her hand remained gentle.
As they raced towards the Oscorp exhibit, the wind brushed against their faces, carrying with it the thrill of the chase. Wanda couldn't help but feel her heart race not only from the exhilarating sprint but also from the touch of Peter's hand in hers. A soft blush crept up her cheeks, colouring them with a delicate shade of pink.
Unbeknownst to Peter, Wanda stole glances at him as they ran side by side. His infectious enthusiasm, the way his eyes gleamed with wonder, captivated her.
Upon reaching the exhibit, they found themselves surrounded by state-of-the-art displays showcasing the technological wonders of Oscorp. Illuminated panels displayed intricate diagrams, accompanied by informative descriptions that detailed the company's cutting-edge research and development.
As they delved deeper into the exhibit, the buzz of anticipation grew. An auditorium awaited them, its seating filling up with eager visitors who were equally captivated by the promise of knowledge and insight.
Finding their seats, Peter and Wanda eagerly awaited the guest speaker.
Emerging from the shadows, a figure took the stage, commanding the attention of the audience with his presence. His right arm was noticeably absent. As he began to speak, his voice resonated with confidence and conviction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, welcome to our exhibit I'm Dr Connors," he declared, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "We stand on the precipice of a groundbreaking era in genetic science, where our experiments and research have the potential to reshape the very fabric of society."

The audience listened intently, captivated by Dr Connor's words. The significance of the moment was not lost on them, as they contemplated the immense possibilities and potential consequences that came hand in hand with such groundbreaking research.
As Dr. Connors concluded his captivating speech, a wave of applause rippled through the crowd, acknowledging his insights and expertise. He graciously acknowledged the appreciation, a smile gracing his face.
"Thank you all for your attentive presence," he expressed, his voice projecting gratitude and humility. "If any of you have further inquiries or would like to delve deeper into the subject matter, please feel free to seek me out at the exhibit."
The applause slowly subsided, and Peter felt a surge of excitement welling within him. He turned to Wanda, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and eagerness. "We have to talk to him," Peter exclaimed, his voice brimming with determination. "I have so many questions!"
Without waiting for Wanda's response, Peter swiftly manoeuvred through the dispersing crowd, making a beeline toward Dr Connors. He skillfully navigated his way through the bustling exhibit, catching up with the esteemed scientist just as he was about to disappear behind a display.
"Dr. Connors, wait!" Peter called out, his voice filled with urgency. The scientist turned his brow furrowing in mild surprise.
"Yes, young man? How can I assist you?" Dr Connors inquired, his gaze resting on Peter's earnest expression.
Peter took a moment to compose himself, his heart pounding with excitement and a tinge of nervousness. He cleared his throat and mustered up the courage to address Dr Connors.
"Firstly, I just wanted to say that your talk was mind-blowing, like seriously," Peter expressed, his voice betraying his awe. He paused briefly to collect his thoughts before continuing, "I know you work at Oscorp. And, well, it's actually about my dad."
Dr Connors arched an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Your father, you say? What was his name?" he inquired, his tone laced with genuine interest.
A mixture of pride and melancholy washed over Peter as he replied, "Richard Parker, sir. He used to work at Oscorp."
Dr Connors' face softened, a flicker of recognition crossing his features. "Ah, Richard Parker. A brilliant scientist indeed," he acknowledged, his voice tinged with nostalgia. "I had the privilege of working with him. He was a dedicated and passionate researcher."
Peter's eyes widened, a spark of anticipation igniting within him. "You knew my dad?" he exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and longing.
Dr Connors spoke, "So you must be Peter then I remember when you were about this tall," he chuckled himself as he put his hand down, "I'm sorry about your loss" Dr. Connors nodded, a gentle smile gracing his face. "Your father was a visionary, always striving to push the boundaries of scientific exploration. We shared many projects.

Dr Connors placed a reassuring hand on Peter's shoulder, a gesture filled with understanding and empathy. "You remind me of your father Peter," he said warmly. "Your passion and determination reflect his spirit. I'm honoured to have known him, and I'd be more than happy to share what I know about him with you." He paused, "Two weeks from now I'm completely free, let me show you around Oscorp!"
Peter smiled, "I'm free, I'd love to go!'
"PETER, THERE YOU ARE!" Wanda's voice echoed with a mix of relief and concern as she hurriedly approached him. Her eyes scanned his face, searching for any signs of distress. "I thought I lost you..." she trailed off, her voice laced with worry. However, her attention shifted as she noticed Dr Connors standing nearby.
"Hello there, young lady," Dr Connors greeted Wanda warmly, extending his left hand for a handshake. With a friendly smile, he shook her hand gently. "It's a pleasure to meet you. So, are you Peter's girlfriend?" he inquired, a hint of curiosity in his tone.
Wanda's cheeks flushed slightly, caught off guard by the question. She exchanged a quick glance with Peter, a mix of surprise and amusement dancing in her eyes. "Oh, um, no, we're just friends," she replied fast, her voice tinged with playful embarrassment. "Peter and I have known each other for a long time. We're like partners in crime!"
Peter grinned, appreciating Wanda's response. "Yeah, we've been friends since we were kids," he added, his voice filled with camaraderie. "Wanda's always up for an adventure, just like me."
Dr Connors nodded, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Ah, I see," he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of wisdom. "Having someone who shares your passion and supports you along the way is truly special."
Wanda and Peter exchanged flustered glances, their cheeks tinged with a light shade of crimson. Sensing the need to break the tension, Wanda spoke up with a nervous chuckle. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Dr Connors, but we should get going," she said, her voice slightly rushed.
Without wasting another moment, Wanda reached for Peter's arm and gently tugged him away, leading the way. Peter managed to wave a quick goodbye to Dr Connors, a friendly smile still lingering on his face. "Bye, Dr Connors!" he called out, his voice filled with warmth. Dr Connors returned the gesture, waving back at Peter with a nod.
As they walked away, a mix of emotions filled the air—embarrassment and the lingering presence of the unexpected encounter. Wanda and Peter's steps carried them forward, leaving behind the momentary awkwardness.
"So, uh, what did you guys talk about?" Wanda asked, her voice slightly nervous as she tried to ease the awkwardness between them.
Peter scratched the back of his head. "Oh, you know, just some stuff about my dad and his work at Oscorp," he replied, his tone a little uncertain. "I was curious to see if Dr. Connors had any insights or stories to share."
Wanda nodded, her eyes glancing around for a moment before focusing back on Peter. "That's cool. Did you learn anything?"
Peter shrugged, a small smile playing on his lips. "Yeah, some memories. It was cool to hear about my dad from someone who knew him, I've got an appointment with him in a few weeks."
The tension began to dissipate as they exchanged small talk, trying to steer the conversation away from the lingering awkwardness. They delved into other topics, like the exhibits they had seen earlier.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS CHAPTER NEXT IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH HIM GOING TO OSCORP YOUR RIGHT BUT LEAVE A COMMENT AND THANKS
Maximum rhapsody: I hope this Peter is not an alternate version of izuku with all the stuff about becoming a hero besides being a crybaby, besides admiring Ironman he could also admire other heroes and scientists like Captain America, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, etc. On the land of the story I think they should not be to demanding with the rules that could be applied in that world to differentiate a lot from BNHA, it would also be nice to see more characters related to spiderman like Harry Osborn and Gwen Stacy as examples, expand and modify what is known about the marvel universe and change it from what is known about BNHA
Well I actually am doing some of that stuff trying to broaden it out and with the suggestion of admiring other scientists I've adapted my story line sadly i can say gwen won't appear and that is a 100% thing as I'll be having Gwen Poole (even though they are different people) but some other faces will 100% show up but thank you for the comment really made me rethink what I was doing to Peter as a character.
