-Peter POV-

"YOU GAVE ME THE WRONG PENDRIVE YOU IDIOT, BRING THAT TO ME RIGHT NOW OR YOU'LL TASTE THE WRONG SIDE OF A BLIND MAN'S CANE" I wince as Matt's screaming dulls down and I felt thoroughly embarrassed about the whole ordeal.

I grab the correct pen drive and double-check it just in case before I head out to court. I walk instead of catching a bus or swinging because there it is still early in the morning so I can reach there in about an hour.

This one-hour walk will give me ample time to think and strategize about what is happening around me, which isn't much considering how much things calmed down after the criminals were arrested. The only crimes I am fighting are the small and petty ones. I would have even considered retiring if not for the whole Electro thing that happened.

The death toll came to 7 and 29 were injured. Respectable numbers for a villain with the powers of electro but the problem is that electro isn't supposed to be like that, he is supposed to be either black and a loner or white and a goober but in this fucked up universe he seems to be mind controlled through some device.

I have already faced three of the sinister six I have taken some preventive measures for Dr. Otto and the Vulture is nowhere near his origin story. The only other combatants left for Sinister Six are 'Scorpion', 'Mysterio' and 'Kraven the Hunter'. The 2nd one is supposed to be Tony's enemy going after me so that is out of the picture.

Kraven is the weirdest villain, yes I think he is weirder than Kiteman and the wall. In my mind a villain having no motive or a stupid motive is fine but having an actual serious ambition only to waste it away on trying to challenge yourself in hunting. HUNTING OF ALL THINGS. It's just ridiculous, it's better to not even have any goal rather than have a goal like that eww!

Lucky for me, that Abomination doesn't exist in this universe believe me I checked. Kraven is usually a career hunter with a lot of followers and fans. So I definitely know that he does not exist in this universe but Scorpion on the other hand is usually made or hired by JJJ which is.....

JJJ's voice comes alive on one of the side store TVs "HE IS A MENACE, A MENACE I TELL YOU. HE HAD HIS MOMENTS BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU INTO BELIEVING THAT HE CAN SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS. AT THE END OF THE DAY HE IS JUST A LYING, CHEATING, BACKSTABBING....." Yeah, it is very, very possible that he can be a reality in this universe. Jonah is sometimes sympathetic to what I do but most of the time you'll hear him rant about me in the news.

I think I can deal with Scorpion quite easily because, at the end of the day, his stinger is the only dangerous thing about him. If I can have contingency plans for Scorpion and Doc oc then I am set for a year unless something else comes up.

*BOOM* A distant explosion shakes the ground and I curse myself for zinxing it. I get into a nearby alley and put on my suit before swinging towards the explosion and thankfully it seems to be an empty one with no other explosions nearby. I swing closer and of course, it's a fucking bank that blew up.

I land on a nearby building and observe as people run out of the building hoping to catch the robbers using the oldest trick in the book, running out along with the victims but it doesn't seem like that's their plan. So I landed in front of the entrance and observed where the explosion came from.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

The explosion didn't spread outward all that much and there aren't many flames around here so they must have just used some explosives to blow up the vault door. I approach the door calmly walking as there seem to be no hostages for me to rush to save them.

The explosion seems to have kicked up a lot of sand. This would be hard to get out of my suit if I didn't anticipate this shit and made my suit sand proof. Yes, I am a genius kneel before me and all that...

Wait a minute, I am a dumbass because WHY THE FUCK IS THERE SAND IN THE BANK @#-_3#"!)/ *shsshdhsshshhss* The first thing I felt before the hit was the sound because millions of sand grains moving and rubbing against each other makes up for pretty Loud.

Even all the warnings in the world would not be able to help me dodge a LITERAL WAVE OF SAND so I let it engulf me as it tried to stay rooted to my spot, the sand flowed around me instead of harming me in any way as it left the bank I opened my eyes and looked behind me to find an empty bank. I groan and swing out of the building wondering why I didn't think of Sandman before he could be a part of the sinister six too.

-Osborn POV-

This company is cursed. Every single test subject that could have brought back the previous glory of Oscorp has either been trashed, hit a dead end, or escaped. The long list of failed experiments has a new edition in the form of Sandman. He wasn't even supposed to be our creation. He is a by-product of an accident and there seem to be a lot of accidents around here.

The accidental creation of Electro who we wanted to use as our arc reactor, the Rhino who we wanted to sell to the military, and the lizard who was supposed to be JUST A FUCKING HEALING FACTOR.

But nooooo, nothing can go right for poor old Norman and he became a Lizard. All of these messes have been piling up on my legacy. They will spit on it when they find out how much dirt I have stacked below me to get to the top. I get in the elevator to get to my OZ laboratory just as someone yells for the lift "Please wait" I hold the lift door open and none other than Dr. Otto Octavius arrives.

I give him a nod of respect because he is the only one who actually had the least lab incidents. He nods back and we stay like that as the elevator starts to descend rapidly, the silence is broken by Otto "I am almost finished with my project Mr Osborn once it is done I will be free to help you with yours" I raise an eyebrow challengingly as I ask him "Help me? What makes you think you can help me?" He smirks as he says "I heard your last few assistants got caught up in unfortunate accidents. I can probably do better considering I can give you a couple of hands hehehe" his little inside joke did not impress me.

Now I know why this man does not get more funding, his arms will not be that much of a commercial success considering their use case is very situational. They are good to have but not really required, they can probably be sold as prosthetics for the really rich but why would I do that. His arrogance needs to be curbed, If he thinks he can help ME, the person who created Oscorp from the ground up, he should learn his place then.

Once he got out of the elevator I called my secretary and informed her "Quietly take away funding from Dr Octavius." Nobody can look down on me. I will save Oscorp and I will have my vengeance.
