Late night at Toomes Industries lab

It was a late night at Toomes industries as the owner or head scientist was yelling at his understudy Dr. Otto Octavious who specializes in robotics and engineering. The head scientist was an old man with a bald head and a sort of long beak nose. His nose wasn't actually a beak, but it just looked like one. He had a normal human body (for an old guy) except for the bird feet that gave him talons. His quirk is just simply talons. He has talon like feet, sort of like what vultures and other predatory birds have.

Toomes: YOU!!! THIS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Otto: i-i-im s-s-s-orry m-Mr. Toomes.

Toomes: YOU CAUSED THIS. YOU were the one who suggested to invite Oscorp to our demonstration.

Otto: A-and I had the b-best intentions of doing t-that sir.

Toomes: YOU were the one who showed them my new flight suit and its schematics. WHICH allowed OSBORN to study MY IDEAS.

???: I-I'm sorry. I d-didn't want to-

Toomes: -AND NOW OSCORP IS STEALING MY IDEAS!!! Otto if I had more staff...I WOULD FIRE YOU!!!

Dr. Octavius was a bit chubby and short. He had no quirk that would be useful to him and he might as well be quirkless. But his lack of looks or powers meant nothing to his intelligence. He was a genius especially when it came to robotics and engineering. However he was an excellent scientist in all fields of study. As the employee of Toomes continued to be bereaved by his boss. Another voice emerged ending the one sided yelling match.

Osborn: Don't you dare apologize one more time Dr. Octavius. You did nothing wrong and neither did Oscorp.

Toomes looked over to the man speaking. Once he laid eyes on him his blood began to boil. It was the man who stole his work in the first place. Norman Osborn.

Toomes: yooouuu.... YOU stole my work!!!

Osborn: And what proof of that do you have exactly?

Toomes just stayed silent with a glare with an intent to kill. Knowing he couldn't prove he stole his designs.

Osborn: That's what I thought. Now those are some dangerous accusations you have made about me and my company so listen hear you old.timid.man.

Osborn then put a hand on the old man shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes that looked like he wanted to murder Osborn. Meanwhile Otto looked at the floor and coward with his knees bent and shoulders higher than his head.

Osborn: You have been at this for years in fact decades. Not once did you come up with a break through or even a success. If you didn't get it when you were young what makes you think they would believe you did it now.

Toomes: YOU... you will pay for this Osborn one way or ANOTHER!

Osborn: I'm sure I will but in the mean time get out of my lab.

Toomes: W-WHAT? THIS IS MY LAB!!!

Osborn: Not anymore. I bought it a half an hour ago. Your company was in severe debt. 2.7 million to he exact. Probably from all those lack of success in your years of building flight tech. A void of money gone in and never a return in sight. Your board members have lost all faith in you. So lets just say....I got a discount. Everything Toomes industries owns is now Oscorp's property.

Toomes: Y-you can't do this to me! I MADE THIS COMPANY FROM SCRATCH!!!

Osborn just grins with a devilish smile.

Osborn: I just did... and dont blame me because you failed to keep your company a float. You should be thanking me. I got rid of your debt. And it only cost you your lifes work....now Guards. Take this man off my property. He's trespassing.
