Looking at the camera recording from the laptop. I had a wide smile painted on my visage.

"Hello, future Peter or anyone seeing this video. This is Project: Lizard Serum, experiment #1. Today we will inject mice with the Lizard Serum. The perfected and the imperfect serums, both. Its main use is to regenerate or regrow limbs. Known side effects- 1)Turning into a Lizard. 2)Persecutory behavior. 3)Aggressive if threatened. 4)Lack of empathy, cold-blooded in nature. 5)Passive aggressiveness. 6)Becoming dumb like a lizard and 7)Mental Problems, this can lead to the formation of a corrupt alter ego. With the new serum, we are looking to curb all side effects except for side effect 1 which is turning into a Lizard."

Saying this, I loaded the serum in an injection. Peter had an extensive laboratory. Not at the professional level but it was good enough. It seems he had stolen a lot of lab materials and equipment from the chemistry lab in school.

A chuckle escaped my mouth as I thought of it. Truly a good idea. No wonder Peter was a 250 IQ genius.

Lab material is expensive. Although I did not purchase a lot of stuff from the chem store, they were relatively pricey. Costing me at least 80$ which I bought on credit.

It seems Peter had a good reputation because the clerk actually let me. Understandable, since Peter has done many experiments and used to buy materials and ingredients frequently.

"Hypothesis: The Perfect Lizard Serum will turn the one injected with it, into a Lizard without any side effects and grant the one drugged passive regenerative abilities."

The main purpose of the Lizard Serum, the reason why it was created in this universe was not to regenerate a lost limb as Dr Connors wanted to do.

The situations are completely different. Dr Connors had not expected to turn into a lizard while Peter of this dimension wanted to turn into a Lizard or gain abilities like one.

I carefully set up the two injections in a tray, labeled A and B. The former was non-perfect and the latter was the newly perfected.

"Independent Variables in this experiment are- The Serums. The Dependant variables are- the mice. Since this is a laboratory experiment, all variables are controlled hence leading to increased validity. Test subjects are mice hence can not be generalized to humans. Quantitative and Qualitative measures are taken leading to increased objectivity and subjectivity. The observation period for three days is for increasing accuracy."

I glanced at the two white mice. Which one should I choose for serum A? I know for a fact that whoever gets injected with it is probably gonna turn into a terror.

Okay, I have a good idea. Pointing my finger at Mr. Bobo and then Mr. Poopoo, I used random allocation by singing inky pinky ponky.

....and the unlucky one is Mr. Bobo. I shook my head. Please forgive me, Mr. Bobo. Then I held the mouse in my hand and injected Serum A into him.

As soon as that was done I put him in a special container I had bought from the chemistry store. This was a transparent glass made of very high material. After placing the mouse inside, I put the container into another steel container.

From my memories, I knew that this mouse would go full-on Mouse-Lizard and cannibalize its own species... maybe even humans. Hence extra protection was necessary for my safety.

I remember being half traumatized due to that scene in The Amazing Spiderman played by Andrew Garfield.

Picking up the second mouse in my hand, I injected him with Serum B. Then I placed him inside a similar box with that too going inside a metal container.

Taking a scalpel I cut a leg each from the two mice and left the two mice bleeding in the box. Sealing it properly, I carried the boxes to the dining table for further observation and heated a box of pizza.

While eating, I examined them for any abnormalities and surfed on the internet to learn more about this world.

Seeing that there were no abnormalities, I paid the mice no attention. A few videos of Gwen surfaced around but other than that it was seemingly calm. [Spider Save: Costumed freak pulls pedestrian from the arm, true motives unknown(Click to watch footage); Bandit Boogies with bodega booty(Click to watch video).]

Then one video captured my eye on the screen. [Human bird with long nose flies to the sky(Click to watch video).] A stoic expression surfaced on my visage. This must be the vulture, it seems he has not made an official appearance yet.

Shaking my head, I glanced at the mice. It seems that both of them were regenerating their cut limb. The blood that had been flowing had long since stopped and none of the two had gone berserk or cannibalistic yet.

Taking my notepad, I began to scribble down.

"Observation 1. Time: 2:37 am. The mice seem fine. Serums seem to be working. No problems. Conclusion: Lizard Serums are working, they are 100% effective."

I was pleased with myself.

Up till now, it is going well, neither potion has shown their side effects, which means that it will indeed take a few more days under observation.

Lowering my notepad, I yawned. It is very late and I have had a long day. Sleep is necessary, tomorrow is a school day, after all, I can't afford to be late nor can I afford to bunk.

Packing my bag up, I headed to my room. Using strips of paper, tubes, and a bottle of Sprite. I made a potato gun using Peter's IQ.

This will help me battle bullies if they attack me tomorrow. If they persist, I will buy a real gun and have my glove eat them after they die or use them as human trial experiments.

This is the United States anyway. Some may even hail and respect me for pulling up with real guns. Although I doubt I have enough money to buy one.

Eh, I can create one.

A smile surfaced on my face. I can feel it. Tomorrow will be a good day. With that, I quickly cleaned my room up and dumped all the chemical garbage I did not need.

Can't have Gwen suddenly pop in and see the drugs that I am cooking. She is my neighbor after all. As for the mice, I was wondering what I should do with those little runts.

In the end, I put both the cages in the fish tank and sealed it from above with the purifier switched on for air to breathe.

I am excited about their results tomorrow. Heading toward my bed, I lay down. Looking at the ceiling, I began to think of what else I could create.

Super Serum? Take a vial of blood from Gwen somehow unnoticed and give me spider powers somehow after research?

There were many things I could do. I also liked the ability of Spot in Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse.

Since I know that I am an anomaly that will hinder Gwen's character development... there is a super high chance that I will attract Miguel O Hara's attention.

I gotta find ways to make money as well, to regain my previous life's lifestyle and fund my experiment. Especially experiments. I will make all my nine generations go bankrupt at this point if I keep experimenting seeing how costly they are.

Maybe I can rob a bank as the lizard... that would be fucking hilarious. A dead lawyer going against the law. I would pay good money to see that.

As my thoughts drifted, my eyes started to get heavy, and before I knew it. I was asleep.
