Caty got to her lecture with Professor Otto early. She was way too excited and it helped that she could swing across the city and reach ESU in no time. It felt liberating being able to swing and not worry about any random criminals. With the Avengers and Young Avengers being more present daytime crime was rather low. People weren't willing to risk getting jumped by two superhero teams over a purse or jewelry, especially when one of them were a bunch of teenagers who were way too happy to use their powers and dinosaur. She honestly loved Old Lace. She wondered if she could mate asexually like Blue from Jurassic World. That would be so awesome. Caty was thrust from her thoughts into reality at a wonderful smell. She turned her hair to see a young boy around her age. She recognized him from her date with Liz. Wow. He had some amazing cologne. [color=E137E3]"Hey, I know you."[/color] The boy looked at Caty recognizing her instantly. [color=7f0faf]"Oh, yeah! From Coney. I'm glad to see you're okay. That girl chasing you seemed crazy."[/color] [color=E137E3]"Oh, her? Nah. That's my cousin, we had some differences that we had to figure out. We're all good now."[/color] Caty said. She wasn't exactly lying. They had decided that their clones would be their cousins and definitely needed to figure out their differences. [color=7f0faf]"I'm glad. You were pretty awesome back then. I'm glad we have this class together. When my school offered the chance to study with THE Otto Octavius I had to sign up."[/color] The boy said excitedly. [color=E137E3]"Wow. It's like looking in a very handsome mirror."[/color] Caty thought out loud. [color=E137E3]"Wait, I'm sorry. I meant to think that."[/color] Caty started to blush a very deep red unable to believe that she actually said that out loud. She started to put her hood over her head and pretend that neither she or him were there. The boy placed his hand on hers, stopping her. [color=7f0faf]"You think I'm handsome? Thank you. I think you're gorgeous. I actually haven't been able to stop thinking of you and your lavender hair since we met."[/color] Caty couldn't believe what she was hearing. She put her hood back down revealing that she was blushing even more. [color=E137E3]"Thank you. I do and that you're the best smelling boy I've ever met, and you're clearly very smart, but I have a girlfriend."[/color] [color=7f0faf]"I figured you weren't single. The girl I saw you with before?"[/color] [color=E137E3]"No, she's my ex and funnily enough she's dating my cousin now."[/color] Caty said feeling a bit more at ease. [color=7f0faf]"Wow. And y'all are still good now?"[/color] The boy asked intrigued by this daytime tv drama. [color=E137E3]"Yeah. It's not a big deal. We grew apart and they grew close. I'm happy for them."[/color] [color=7f0faf]"You're the most mature person I've met. I'm Hobie by the way. It's a pleasure to officially meet you."[/color] Hobie said extending his hand for a shake. [color=E137E3]"Caty."[/color] She said extending her hand in return and grabbing his. [color=E137E3]"The pleasure's all mine."[/color] Footsteps are then heard approaching the front of the lecture hall. [color=cc0000]"Alright, class! I hope you've enjoyed your summers. The time for relaxation is over. The time for work is now. For those of you who don't know I am your professor for this semester, Otto Octavius. Welcome to Electrical Engineering."[/color] [hr] Harry was also having a half-day. Due to this being his senior year Norman wanted his son to focus more on the company and get more practical hands on science so when it was his time to takeover the family business he'd be ready. So Harry was spending his work study at Oscorp. He wished Gwen could be here with him, but she ended up getting a work study at Dr. Connor's science research facility. He didn't know how she got in, but he was happy for her nonetheless. That's something he knew that she always wanted and if he were to be honest she was probably safer away from his dad's company after all of the psychos that attacked it. He also wasn't sure that he completely trusted his father. He had been acting stranger than usual ever since Caty and Danny got their powers. Harry walked into his father's office to see that he wasn't there, but that his desk screen was on. He walked over to the desk to see what was on the screen. He saw many different video files of Spider-Woman and Spider-Man all at once. Them swinging through the city, their fights, their interactions with people, everything. It was like the work of an obsessed fan. What was his dad up to? He decided to snoop around and find out. First he needed to find out where his dad was so he wouldn't just walk in on him snooping. He checked the security cameras and saw his dad on one talking to a man dressed like a soldier, but it was clear that he wasn't part of any branch of the American military. He must've been a mercenary. Harry turned on the audio. [color=green]"I need everything to run smoothly."[/color] Norman said. [color=green]"I'm dosing you with a serum that'll make you stronger than your wildest dreams. All you have to do is pretend to be me under the mask when I can't or when I need someone to take the fall. You will lead my operations. You will move as I would move and do as I would do. I need all of New York under my control and I won't let the likes of Kingpin, Cottonmouth, Tombstone, Bushmaster, Purple Man, or Mr. Negative stand in my way. God, their names are terrible, but to be taken seriously in this topsy turvy world we must join the wave. From this day forward we will be The Green Goblin and New York will know to fear the name."[/color] "Whatever. All I care about is the money and this bonus power. It'll make doing my other jobs a lot easier. Anything I should worry about?" [color=green]"The other leaders shouldn't be too much of a problem. But you do need to worry about Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, otherwise known as Daniel and Catherine Davis. If they get in your way you have complete authority to kill them."[/color] Harry gasped. Kill his friends? What should he do? Should he tell them? Find a way to stop his dad? Then he remembered something. That serum... What if he could gain the power to save his friends instead?
