"I-I can't destroy it..." Otto lay in the river, his fusion reactor... his dream was burning as bright as it had ever been, it was so bright. He turned to look back at Peter Parker, Curts student, brilliant, but lazy... Apparently, he was Spider-Man, maybe he was right, maybe Peter-
He's trying to stop you! He wants you to fail! Look at the smug look on his face! His actuators spurted out sparks irritably, now that Otto looked at Peter, he did look smug... How dare he!
"I won't!" he growled, one of his actuators choked Peter, to think that this boy could-
"Y-you once spoke to me about intelligence..." he choked out. Ottos frown faltered. "That it was a-a gift to be used for the good of mankind." he did say that... didn't he?
Otto nodded "A privilege..."
"These things have turned you into something you're not... don't listen to them." Peter pleaded.
One of Otto's actuators hissed at him No, no he cannot ruin your dream!
"It was my dream," Otto muttered."Sometimes... to do what's right, we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most." Peter stared into Otto's eyes sadly "...even our dreams."
Otto's brow furrowed, it-it was his dream, he was supposed to... Rosie's face flashed in his vision, the look in her eyes... the reactor did that, it killed her. Why did he think that building another one would help? Obviously, his calculations had been off, did he even bother to check them? No, no he didn't he was too...
"He's right," Otto told one of his actuators, who screeched in response.
No! No he's not, LOOK at him! Can't you-
"Listen-" Otto started.
NO! No, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't be alive! If it weren't for us you-
"Lis...Listen to me now." he pleaded, he was so tired... They were so, so loud.
Peter smirked.
See? See!
This is what we have been telling you-
This is just another one of his plans-
He's just a boy, what does he know?
You built us-You can trust us-
TRUST US!
"W-why are you smiling?" Otto asked, his face darkened."W-What?" Peters's face fell... he lost him.
"You were smiling, you were smiling what are you doing? What is your plan here? To watch me fail is that it?!" Otto was getting worked up, the actuator around Peters's neck tightened, he clawed at the metal that was slowly suffocating him.
"What no I-I didn't mean it in that way you were taking your mind back-"
"My mind is still intact I am still intact! THEY have not changed me-"
"Doctor please-" Peter pleaded."No, no I'm done playing your games Parker. " he seethed. "My reactor will work, it can't be stopped! It's self-sustaining! It will keep on going and it will provide clean sustainable energy like it was designed to do and YOU will never stop me!" he swore.
"Doctor you have to listen-"
SLUNK!!
Otto looked at Peter, blood trickled down the boy's mouth, and he coughed up hot, sticky blood into his face, Otto didn't go to wipe it off, he stared in horror as half of the boy's body fell to the ground, a metal plate... from the warehouse it had sliced him clean in half...
