THIRD-PERSON POV:

Location: Oscorp Labs, Norman Osborn's personal Lab
10:00PM

"What's going on?" Harry Osborn asks his father as he enters a lab.

"Harry, this isn't- Do you people know the meaning of the words, 'clamp down'? The lab is off limits to unauthorized personnel! And that includes him, for god's sake!" Norman, who's sitting on a chair, his arm strapped on to some kind of machine, exclaims angrily.

"But what's going on? Why are you-?"

"Will you please remove him from the premises?" Norman orders.

"What's going on?" Harry questions again as he's being escorted out.

"Mr. Harry, now is really not the time."

"We are good to go, sir?" the scientist says.

"Everything checked and double checked?" Norman asks.

"We are good to go." The scientist affirms.

"Let's do it."

A few seconds after the machine starts, Harry hears his father screaming in agony and he runs back towards the lab...

Location: The Osborn Mansion, Harry Osborn's bedroom
2:00AM

Harry is fast asleep, as it is the middle of the night, but...

"HARRYYYY!"

A sudden scream wakes the boy up in horror, as he tries to make sense of what's happening.

"What the-"

Harry quickly runs out of his room, to locate the source of the scream, which belonged to his mother, only to find out that the entire house is on fire.

"Mom! MOM!" Harry says, as he reaches his mother's bedroom.

He opens the door to see his mother, lying underneath rubble, with her right hand being the only thing visible.

"MOM!"

The entire room is on fire, and a figure floats high up in the sky, with a sinister smile on its face, and a hand-grenade in his hand.

"Mom...?"

Harry looks up at the creature, and his eyes widen in fear. The creature throws the hand grenade, and Harry quickly runs out, making a beeline for the main door.

"Oh god! Ah! Ah! Please- Somebody! SOMEBODY HELP!"

As harry reaches his garden, he sees the creature fly off into the night with the help of its wings...

Who is this mysterious creature?

Why did he destroy Harry Osborn's house?

Why did he kill Harry's mother?

Will anyone be able to stop his madness? OR will they become a victim of his sadistic schemes?

The next day...

"Today, class... I want each of you to design a poster that clearly identifies the voting practices in your home country of nationality and compares them to the voting practices in the United States."
