As Dr

As Dr. Connors wrote more notes pertaining to his work on lizard DNA, his mind was on the performance enhancer serum Horizon Labs received from Oscorp via the Hardy Foundation. Not only did Felicia Hardy deliver the serum, but files on notes about the serum, including the serum's formula. Why would Wilson Fisk willingly help a competitor like Horizon Labs, Connors would not know, but his mind was racing with the possibility of getting to incorporate Norman Osborn's work into his project. Sure, Norman Osborn was not a man Connors was very found of, but even Connors could respect that the man was a brilliant scientist who showed the world the power of science in things from military weaponry, to nanotechnology. There was no denying that Norman was a brilliant man, who could now possibly help Connors heal many with his work. In a world where people are so enhanced that they could inherit the lizard's ability to regenerate entire limbs. Connors grabbed a file from Norman's performance enhancer project, preparing his pitch to Max Modell in his head on how he would utilize Norman's work in his project.

As Peter Parker was working on a new project with Felicia Hardy, he noticed Felicia giving him a few seemingly discreet glances.
"Peter, let me ask you something.... are you still holding out hope for your ex girlfriend to come back to you?" Felicia asked curiously. Peter shrugged.

"A part of me is, if I am to be honest... but at the same time I feel it's been good for me to be single for a few years.... it gave me time to better understand who I am as a person." Peter explained.

"And who are you as a person?" Felicia asked curiously.

"Someone who tries to be responsible but has trouble juggling his responsibilities. Over time it gets easier, until something major happens in life that throws life off balance all over again... then it's back to juggling... but you move forward." Peter replied, remembering all the times when Ben and May had been financially struggling while raising him. They had to balance all of their responsibilities and keep moving forward. Same as Peter... even if said responsibilities were more of the outlandish life threatening kind. Before Felicia could comment on Peter's statement, they saw Dr. Connors run by their door towards Max Modell's office.

"What do you think that was all about?"
Felicia asked. Peter shrugged.

"Maybe he had a meeting with Mr. Modell and is running late." Peter replied.

Max Modell had not been expecting anyone for a while. Suddenly a frantic knock was on his door.
"Come in." Modell said calmly. Connors entered the office and shook Modell's hand.

"You need something, Curt?" Modell asked.

"Not need necessarily... but I would like to see if I can incorporate the performance enhancers we received from Oscorp into my lizard DNA project." Connors answered. Modell fought the urge to sigh. He knew there would be request from scientist in these labs to use Norman Osborn's work, but he never expected Curt Connors to the one asking. Not with his history with Oscorp.
