What Science Had Wrought (RWBY x Male Spider-Man Reader)

Chapter 2

The lab that (F/N) mentioned was hosting their tours. Where families would gather with their children to show the advances of science, and how it will help the world! But, like some other science facilities in any media (*cough cough* Oscorp *cough cough*), there was something else going on within.

Before (F/N) arrived at the lab, there were a few people gathered in a room of a lab. There was one man, dressed in a lab coat, and examining some data on a small laptop. He typed away, examining the formulas and data.

"Doctor Liz," someone spoke up. The man in the labcoat, Doctor Liz, turned to the source and saw some rather peculiar people walking in. The man, like the two other people with him, wore a white mask, with little red marks on it. It was a kind of uniform that was well-known throughout the world; the White Fang. And the person there was, none other than, Adam Taurus. He led the group that was based in Vale, and his presence in this lab was a sign of something terrible.

"Adam," the good doctor replied as he calmed his nerves. "What are you doing here? I thought we had a deal."

"I understand our deal, Doctor," Adam began, approaching him calmly, giving off rather menacing vibes in his careful steps. "However, I'm sure you understand how cautious we need to be with this kind of transaction. And that involves ensuring that we're not being double-crossed." He stood directly in front of the doctor, staring down at him with stern eyes, though they can't be seen through the mask.

"That's not my intention at all! But you must understand that this project you've decided to fund does take time!"

"Then perhaps you can give us a status update," Adam replied, leaning over the doctor's body some more to show the power-difference between the two. Sensing the hostility, Doctor Liz held his hands up in surrender and calmly shifted over to a cabinet against a wall. Pulling it open, he revealed different animals and insects, each known for their venom.

"As per your requests," the doctor began, "I've been looking into synthesizing a serum to mix within the specimens venom stream. Take this spider for example." He reached in and grabbed a case containing a spider. "Within their bodies are sacs used to store the venom. This spider in particular has had its venom synthesized with the serum."

"And this method of applying the serums is the same across the other specimens?" Adam asked, grabbing the spider from the doctor's hand and examining it.

"Unfortunately, no," the doctor replied, "this spider was tested on to see if it was possible to perform, but applications over a wide majority, like you'd ask, has been impossible to perform."

"But it can be done?" Adam asked. Doctor Liz spoke up to give an answer that would satisfy Adam while also prolonging the deadline.

"It can be," he replied. Adam placed the canister on the table, but dangerously close to falling.

"Then see to it that you hurry up with your application. The owners of the lab have found out about one of your colleagues, and it would be bad for you to be thrown out of this lab." The doctor sighed before nodding his head, when he suddenly noticed the time.

"Well, rest assured I'll be doing my best, but if you'll excuse me," he said as he walked over to the door they walked in and held it open for them. "I have a tour to give." Adam gave no retort, only complying with the doctor's request and leave, followed by his "guards". But before he disappeared, he looked back at the doctor one more time.

"You'd best better hide that tail of yours, before you're spotted." With that, Adam departed, disappearing without being seen by any of the security guards or passerby.

Once they were gone, Doctor Liz looked behind him, seeing a long, lizard tail sticking out and getting close to touching the floor. He just shook his head and slammed the door shut, hurrying to give the tour.
