The Void

Chapter 39 - Deals

(Your POV):
"You know, I didn't peg you as the cheating type," Harry spoke as he walked into his office to find me gazing out of one of the picturesque windows.

I turned to face him, "that's because I'm not."

"You could have fooled me, calling me up to my private office in the midst of a celebration for me. Isn't this the part where you crash your lips onto mine and confess how much you love me?"

I smirked, "you wish. Unfortunately, I asked you up here to deal with professional matters."

"Oh yes? And what would those be?" He inquired, taking a seat behind his desk and resting his feet on top of it.

"We have decided that it is time that you find out that your father didn't just run Oscorp, he was also running and funding an organization called H.A.M.M.E.R."

"As in Hammer Industries? I thought that died out after Justin Hammer set a bunch of murder bots loose at the Stark Expo?"

"Oh god no, I'm not talking about Hammer Industries, I'm talking about something much more reputable. Your father built H.A.M.M.E.R. from the ashes of H.Y.D.R.A. Now I know that that sounds bad, but I can assure you that the goal of H.A.M.M.E.R. is to clean up the world, make it a better place. Right now we are living in a world where at any moment the Avengers could take over and rule us all. The power needs to be balanced, which is why your father put such precedence on human experimentation. We need to be able to fight back against the Avengers and tip the scales towards balance."

"That's what your parents do, then?" Harry asked, rising up in his chair as I spoke. "I met your father the other day, he's quite charming. I'm really not looking forward to having him as my advisor."

"He's mostly there to make sure that you don't screw up too badly, but yes, my parents do most of their work in the H.A.M.M.E.R. sector of Oscorp. Though I must warn you that only the highest ranking member of Oscorp, which is now you, and those working for H.A.M.M.E.R. know of its existence."

"So then how do you know about it, you're their youngest employee?"

"Actually, I am. You've actually probably heard of me. I was born to become their most skilled assassin, and that is what I have become," I replied, activating my suit to prove to him who I was. "I am my parents' greatest creation. Heightened eye sight and hearing, telekinesis, superhuman strength, and, my latest trick, electricity."

A let a few bolts of electricity dance around my hand as a demonstration, watching a look of fear and awe pass over Harry's face. He looked up to me and raised his eyebrow, "and why are you telling me all of this?"

"Because it is our hope that you will follow in your father's footsteps and lead H.A.M.M.E.R. as well. You don't have to be actively involved in decisions if you do not want to be, but we would greatly appreciate Oscorp to continue funding our programs so that we can build our strength and attack the power-wielding Avengers."

"What if I don't agree to this? What if I tell the authorities what you're up to? I am sure that they would love to find out about a criminal organization such as this one," Harry threatened, getting up from his seat and circling me.

"You won't go to the cops."

"Why not?" He challenged, his lips nearly brushing my ear.

"Because H.A.M.M.E.R., and me in particular, have a personal vendetta against Spider-Man. You want justice for your father, then we're your best bet. I've actually caught him once, but unfortunately the slippery little bastard escaped. But I swear that if you let H.A.M.M.E.R. live on, then I will personally deliver you Spidey's head on a silver platter," I replied, showing him my ace card with confidence that I had him convinced.

"You can get me Spider-Man?" He inquired, his eyes flashing a green color. I nodded as I stared at his eyes, wondering if had simply been a trick of the light or if I had imagined it. He then held his hand out for me to shake, "Well then, tell your father that he has just gotten himself a new sponsor."

"Of course, though I must ask you a favor, as friends, in regards to my parents," I replied, changing back into my formal attire. "You will most likely be in contact with them often in your new position and I was wondering if you could refrain from mentioning my relationship with Peter while you are around them."

"They don't know, do they? How rebellious of you. But of course I can understand why, they don't seem the type to allow you to date."

"Would you be willing to keep this from them? I really don't want to make Peter H.A.M.M.E.R.'s next target."

He gave me a dashing smile and nodded, "of course, (Y/N), your secret is safe with me. I'm assuming that Peter's also in the dark? Or have you told him that you're the Void?"

I shook my head, "do you think the innocent Peter Parker would be willing to date the murderess Void? Peter doesn't know anything and I would like to keep it that way, if possible."

"With all of these secrets I'm keeping for you, don't you think I should be getting something in return."

I smiled as I leaned in towards him, "oh but you are getting something, you're getting to live."

"Is that a threat? If I tell anyone, then you'll kill me?" He asked, leaning right back into me. God I was thankful that this office was private because if anyone walked into this sight they would believe something very inappropriate was going on.

"Yes, of course, though you would already be dead if you didn't agree now, I would kill you before you had a chance to tell anyone. But now that you've agreed, you just have to keep your promise if you want Spider-Man."

With that, I left his office and returned downstairs to Peter, who was looking a little out of place. He gave a relieved smile as he saw me and asked, "Are you all set?"

"Yep, I just had to enter some data for them. The computer was being a bit uncooperative, but everything is good now," I assured him, grabbing my coat as we left the building. "Shall we go get that hot chocolate?"

"Yeah, I would love to," he replied, taking my hand in his.

(A/N): so now Harry knows your secret. Do you think that he'll tell Peter or will he keep his promise not the tell anyone? I hope that you enjoyed this chapter!
