Marvel's Spider-Man 3

Chapter 3

Harry sat in his office going over several of his notes for today's press conference. He was interrupted when his assistant knocked on the door. He sighed softly and looked at the door.

"Come on in Val," Harry said loud enough for the woman to hear through the closed door.

"Mr. Osborn, someone is here to see you. Are you taking visitors?" Val asked with a gentle voice, she was still rather shy around Harry ever since he took over from his father.

"Yes, send them in please, I hope it is good. " Harry watched as Val left and a minute later a tall man with black hair and glasses entered, he was wearing a very nice designer suit and Harry was actually impressed.

"Mr. Osborn thank you for taking the time to see me, I would like to again pass along my condolences about your father. "

"Thank you for that, how may I help you Mr..." Harry trailed off hoping the man would reveal his name.

"Smythe sir, Alastair Smythe. "

"Well, Mr. Smythe, what may I help you with today? I have a press conference to get to later and I don't have a lot of time. " Harry stated as he put his notes to the side.

"Of course sir, well I would like to show you some stuff I have been working on, I think you may find them interesting and could be of use "

Alastair placed a couple of blueprints and notes onto Harry's desk. Harry had a glance at one of the designs and instantly took a liking to it. He looked closely at the notes and smiled at Alastair at seeing the name the scientist had come up with for his equipment.

"Going by the name I guess you don't like a certain vigilante?" Harry smirked slightly, the Venom inside of him was feeling the same emotions, this was something they could use against the wall-crawler. "

"I consider that he was at fault for the outbreak last November. I lost my own father to that sickness, the other men responsible are either dead or behind bars already, only one remains and that is Spider-Man. " Alastair had a look of hatred in his eyes if Harry wasn't out for his own vengeance, he might have been scared of the man.

"I think this is the start of a very profitable relationship If all goes to plan we won't have to worry about the Spider or his little girlfriend. " Harry snarled the last part, he stood up and started to pace, his eyes turning a dark black, the venom begging to be let loose but he managed to get his anger under control when he saw Alastair smirking at him.

"I think we won't have an issue, sir, I look forward to hearing what you say at the press conference. I will be in touch in a few weeks when I have the first prototype ready to go. Good day, Mr. Osborn. "

"Thank you, Alastair, I will see you soon."

Felicia & Peter's Apartment.

Peter and Felicia walked to the front door of their apartment. Peter took the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door so he and Felicia could get in with the food shopping that they were just doing. Once inside they put all of the shopping into the kitchen and started to unload it to its proper place. It was moments of normalcy like this that Peter enjoyed the most but he knew deep down his life would never be this normal, there was always something lurking in the shadows ready to strike.

"What's wrong Peter?" Felicia asked when she noticed his face had a slightly sad expression on it.

"All of this, I love how normal we are acting but it is still sinking in that I will never have a normal life, Spider-Man will always be needed and I won't be able to have the life I have always wanted. " Peter sat on the countertop and started to fiddle with his hands. Felicia walked up to him after listening to what he said and gently took his hands into her own. She smiled slightly when he looked up at her.
