Norman was meditating a moment in his room, last night had been the first time he had done anything resembling a slaughter, so he was taking a little time to relax.

Last night he had followed the petty thief who had dared to enter into his company and rob him, on the other hand the Osborn had thought of murdering him, but after learning who he was he thought that he could certainly have a use for him in the future, and it was because of that thought that he kept his life.

As for the other men Walter met at the pier, they were not as lucky as he was, most of them were killed by Norman in a quick manner, the other part served as his test subjects.

Reason why he could not sleep at all the night before, first he made sure to find out who was the person in charge of everyone and only got the name Kingpin, now that surprised the Osborn a little, but after thinking about it a little no doubt it had been a very logical step.

He made a mental note to try to find out a little more about the version of Fisk in this universe, but that was on the back burner, the really important thing was undoubtedly to test the Connors Formula on the guinea pigs he had just gotten.

As a precautionary measure he took his experiments to the outskirts of the city and thanks to the help of his teleportation he was able to do so relatively easily, plus he now knew that he could transport other people with him no matter what state they were in, that was a welcome discovery for Osborn.

Once on the outskirts of the city it was a bit disappointing that the first two attempts turned out to be a great failure, as it only took a few minutes before the madness took over them however there was no bodily transformation, so he continued with his experiments once he killed the defective test subjects.

The third turned out to be a little more encouraging, as he was able to fight his instincts for 30 minutes until he could no longer and like the others the madness consumed him.

At that moment Osborn realized that the will of the person could be the key to control the madness and aggressiveness that the serum gave them.

Undoubtedly the most encouraging of all the tests was the last subject, it was undoubtedly the information the Osborn was trying to obtain, the test subject had not succumbed to his madness and was even able to use the power he was given, unfortunately he had to kill him before he became too difficult to control.

However, he had really benefited from the events of last night, still for the moment he decided not to inject himself with the Connors Formula, he had confidence in his will, but he would rather not have to deal with a problem like that every moment of the day.

So he would keep researching the Formula until it was perfect, the good thing was that he now knew where to get a constant supply of volunteers.

And it was all thanks to one of his employees, he really didn't think anyone would dare betray Norman, but they did, although it was a good thing after all it had many unexpected benefits, it really was a good idea not to murder the informant as soon as he discovered it however as he was no longer of any use it was just another one of last night's deaths, although it was quick, as at least it had helped him a little.

With that thought the Osborn began to leave his room.

…

Norman left his room, the chef should probably have breakfast ready, so he would eat a little before going to work.

When he reached the kitchen he noticed Bernard's presence however little Harry was nowhere to be seen, that fact made Norman a little uncomfortable, usually Harry was the first one at the table, so his absence was a little unusual.

"Bernard, has Harry not woken up yet?" he asked his butler: "No Sir, however it shouldn't be too long before he does, besides he stayed up late last night waiting for you, so it's understandable that he slept a little longer" he answered calmly.

"I will bring him, otherwise he will be disappointed if we don't eat together," mentioned the Osborn to which the older man only nodded.

A quick trip to the little boy's room and he quickly found his son still in bed, curled up with his sheets: "Harold, it's time to wake up" mentioned the older Osborn calmly.

However, even with his call he did not wake up, this time Norman approached him, and it was when he realized that his son's little body was trembling: "" Bernard! Call the doctor!" the scream was heard throughout Osborn Manor.

…

The doctor soon arrived and began to treat Harry, from what Norman could understand it seemed that his son's immune system was a little weak, so a little care had to be taken.

Last night Harry had waited for him in the living room of the mansion without any kind of covering to give him some kind of warmth, it wasn't until Bernard found him that he took him to bed, but neither of the men really knew how long he spent in the room.

That was new information for the Osborn, since old Norman didn't know about his son's condition, he really hated that bastard for the attitude he had towards his own son.

After prescribing a treatment the doctor left the Osborn manor, although he mentioned that he would come again in the evening to check on Harry's condition, for the time being Harold went back to sleep a little after a bit of persuasion from Norman.

The Osborn left his son's room followed shortly after by Bernard: "What kind of father doesn't know about his son's condition? asked Norman to nowhere.

Bernard did not answer the question knowing well that his master did not want an answer, Norman let out a sigh: "Call Miss Watson and tell her that her presence is not required today, I will stay to take care of Harry so there is no need for her to come" mentioned the Osborn.

"Understood, sir," Bernard replied.

An hour passed since Norman decided to stay and take care of Harry, but because some work had piled up he couldn't be with his son at all, so he had a laptop to do his work right outside his son's room, that way his response time would be quick.

Soon he felt a presence approaching rapidly in his direction, so he brought his gaze to the direction of the hallway where he felt the presence.

Soon a somewhat disheveled redhead came into his line of vision: "How….is…. Harry?" she asked falteringly.

…

It was a surprise to Norman that Mary Jane had decided to pay a visit to the mansion herself because of the concern she had for Harry.

"Miss Watson, Harry is rested, and I will take care of him properly, on the other hand you shouldn't be here" mentioned the Osborn, since the Watson should be at the university.

The redhead looked a little embarrassed as she understood the Osborn's warning: "I got the call from Bernard and I just couldn't calm down after that" she answered quickly.

"Miss Watson, I appreciate your concern for my son, but I am not happy with the fact that you have left your classes just for that reason" he mentioned with sincerity and a bit of reprimand in his voice: "Now I will ask one of our drivers to take you back to the university and this is not a request, it is an order" he mentioned seriously.

Mary Jane's silhouette became a little lower as Osborn spoke, she felt as if she was being reprimanded for being a bad girl, just when Norman finished speaking and raised her head to talk to him, she could hear the sound of a door opening.

It seemed that Norman heard it too because he turned his head quickly to see a Harold dressed in blue pajamas, his vision soon saw the two people and his eyes began to glow: "Dad!" he shouted, and before he could run Norman had already approached him and was holding him in his arms.

"Harry, Doctor William mentioned that you needed to be at rest, in your bed" the older Osborn mentioned softly as he entered the room.

"But it's boring just to be in my bed," he pouted, and it was at this precise second that he noticed the red-haired woman "Miss Watson!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Harry!" replied the redhead as she entered the room after giving the older Osborn an apology smile: "But it's not time for you to come yet" mentioned the little boy, as Norman placed him on the bed.

"I know, but on my way to class I saw this in a store" she mentioned as she pulled some sort of box out of his bag and Harry's eyes began to sparkle.

"MONOPOLY!" he exclaimed excitedly, 'A board game' thought Norman as he witnessed the interaction of the two other people in the room.

"That's right, I remembered that you had shown great interest and I thought you might want to play it" she mentioned with a smile: "Of course, if Mr. Osborn gives his permission" she added quickly while looking at the black-haired man.

Norman just looked at the excited and enthusiastic look his son was giving him: "Bernard prepares a few snacks to accompany during the game" mentioned the Osborn and the redhead was about to tell him that Bernard was not there until: "Of course Sir" the reply came from outside the room.

"Well, let's play" said the black-haired man as Harry stepped aside and motioned for both adults to sit on the bed.

That's how a whole day of family games was spent, at least that was Harry's feeling.
