Down at Osborn Industries, Harry came by to find his father. He had not been home for a few days after the big game. Perhaps absorbed into his research again, Harry thought. He even tried to contact him by calls and text but would always be unread or straight to voice message. Worried, he went down that evening to skip school. But as he got there, he found the place deserted and the doors were left unlocked. Harry knows his father was there because his car was parked outside. Along with a few other cars, including Doctor Octavious as well. He walked down the unsecured area. No one was around to stop him. Until he heard his father's voice echoing through the empty halls.
"Everything checked and double checked?" He asked his loyal scientist, Octavious, who had these strange machine-like arms belts around him as they mechanically moved on their own through the control room.
"We are good to go," he said as he was about to flip on the nearest switch.
"Dad?!" Harry gasped, "What's going on?"
Everyone stops in their tracks and turns at the teenage boy. Norman was wired and strapped into a chair-like machine that hooked around his arm. He didn't seem happy seeing his son. "Harry, this is not a good time," he looked over at one of the nuclear suit scientists, "Do you people know the meaning of the word: Clamp Down?!" he gritted his teeth, "The lab is off limits to unauthorized personnel! And that includes him, for god's sake!" He then turned his attention to Justin, who was still by his side, "Get him out of here, right now!" The blond young man nodded and quickly rushed to Harry to escort him off the premises.
"I'm sorry young Mr. Osborn," he said calmly, "But I needed you to follow me out. This is not safe for you," he gently placed a hand on his shoulder and led him down the hall.
Harry refused and wanted to know what was going on. He kept looking over his shoulder as they left the room.
"We are still good to go," said Octavious, still waiting to flip the switch.
Norman settled back into the chair as he could feel the needles clamp into his veins. He took a few breaths before giving out the single.
"Let's do it,"
Octavious made a slight unnoticeable grin on his face as he flipped the switch, "As you wish," he said as he stood by and watched.
The machine cut on and the green Oz cordial down the tubes into Norman's veins. The tense pain increased and doubled once Oz burned through his blood system. He moaned and twisted into his seat.
"Stop! Stop it!" he groans, "Make it stop!" He was now begging, trying to rip the wires off him.
Octavious was straggling behind the control panel. "It won't shut off!" he called out. Unable to shut down the machine. Soon an alarm system went off. "Damn it," he cursed, "Everything is shutting down! We are losing control!"
The pain increased. He wanted it to stop to the point he was clawing at the brace with his free hand. His body started to change as his veins flared up. He screamed that slowly became a massive roar.
NRAAAAAAAGGHH!!!
Down the hall, both Harry and Justin froze in their tracks.
"Dad!!" Harry screamed out as he rushed back to the laboratory. Justin chases after him.
"Harry! Sir!! Come back!!!"
As Harry dash through the door. A shock of horror struck him in place. Everything around the lab was destroyed and on fire as a monstrous beast stood up before him. Clinging to the helpless doctor in its grasp. He growled in a low tone.
"HaaArrrry," It steps forward as it tosses Octavious across the room.
Justin steps in and shields the frightened boy, "Run!" he pushes Harry out of the way, "Get out!! Go-" he was cut off as a claw ripped through his chest and tossed him across the room like a rag doll.
Harry froze in fear at the beast that crawled up to him, "HaaARrry!" it groan. The machine behind them started to set off as an alarm before an explosion took over.
