Once Tobey was done hogging the fabricator, as they can't fabricate more than one thing at a time, Andrew could finally get to work on his group. "Alright, is it my turn now?"

Norman Osborn, or rather the Green Goblin, stepped forward alongside him, his posture composed and his expression a mask of congeniality. Unbeknownst to Andrew, the villainous alter ego had regained control, concealing his true intentions behind a facade of helpfulness.

Norman extended a hand, his voice warm yet calculated. "Andrew, my dear boy, I've been doing some thinking. I want to offer you my assistance in your endeavor to cure us. You may not know this, but I was quite the scientist back in my universe."

Andrew raised an eyebrow, cautiously accepting Norman's handshake. "You're really willing to help?"

Norman smiled, a hint of darkness hidden behind his gaze. "Indeed, I'd like to know where I went wrong and be the one to truly cure myself. I understand the weight of my actions and the harm I've caused, even if I wasn't in control. If there's a chance for redemption, I wish to seize it."

Andrew studied Norman, searching for any signs of deception. Something didn't feel right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Still, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to save lives, even if it meant working with someone he had fought against before.

"Alright, Norman. If you're sincere, then we can work together," Andrew agreed cautiously. "I have a plan in mind, a serum that should counteract the effects of the Green Goblin formula, and get rid of that alter ego of yours for good. And for the Lizard, a specialized gas that will neutralize his reptilian transformation."

Norman nodded, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. "Fascinating. Do explain the specifics. I'm all ears."

Andrew took a deep breath, his mind focused on the task at hand. "For the serum, I've devised a combination of genetic modifiers and cellular stabilizers. It will target the altered DNA caused by the Green Goblin formula and gradually restore it to its original state. The process will require a single injection. I have to warn you that it's a bit painful, but it won't last long, I promise."

Norman's eyes narrowed slightly, a mixture of curiosity and wariness dancing in their depths. "Ingenious. And what of the gas for the Lizard?"

Dr. Connors joins the conversation. "Yes, please explain…" he asks, looming over the two of them.

Andrew continued, his voice steady. "The gas is a blend of specialized compounds that will act as a catalyst, triggering a biochemical reaction in the lizard DNA. It will counteract the transformation, reverting Dr. Connors to his human form. The gas will need to be inhaled, allowing it to directly interact with his respiratory system and distribute throughout his body."

Norman leaned in, his interest growing. "And the potential side effects? Will the serum and gas be safe?" He asked as Lizard nodded along, unwilling to take it otherwise.

Andrew contemplated his response, ensuring he provided a comprehensive answer. "I've already been through this with Dr. Connors here, but you know, time travel…" he states in annoyance. "As for your cure, it's already been used on the Harry Osborn from my universe. Now, I know the Green Goblin serum that you've taken may be different, which is why we need to run some tests beforehand and make some tweaks, but there shouldn't be any problem."

Norman's lips curled into a smile, his true nature beginning to seep through the cracks of his façade. "Excellent. It seems we have much work ahead of us."

Andrew nodded, a sense of cautious optimism filling his heart. He hoped that Norman's newfound cooperation was genuine, but he couldn't shake off the unease that lingered within him. Nonetheless, he would proceed with his plan.

"Let's get started then," Andrew said, a steely determination in his voice. "We'll need to gather the necessary materials and prepare."

Norman's smile widened, his eyes gleaming with malice hidden behind a thin veil of camaraderie. "Indeed, my dear boy. Let the cure begin."

As they got to work, taking possession of the fabricator, Peter sat on the couch, a smile spreading across his face as he watched his daughter, Lily, engrossed in otherworldly television show. (A/N: like dimensional cable from Rick & Morty) He enjoyed times like this, where Lily's eyes widen in awe as she sees something brand new to her. It's one of the joys of parenting. He gets to relive things through the eyes of his daughter.

Just as he settled into the peaceful atmosphere, Tom walked over, concern etched on his face. He glanced at Lily, ensuring their conversation wouldn't disturb her before speaking.

"Peter, we need to discuss our next steps with Electro's cure," Tom said, ready to get to work.

Peter nodded, as his cure shouldn't be too hard. After all, he already knew what would work from the movie, though he has to make it real. He motioned for Tom to take a seat beside him.

"Grab me some paper and a pen, would you?" Peter requested, his mind already racing with ideas. "I need to sketch out the device we'll be creating."

Tom nodded, quickly retrieving the requested materials. He handed them to Peter, who began to draw, his hand moving with a purposeful precision. As he sketched, he explained the concept to Tom.

"The key to extracting the excess energy from Electro's body lies in creating a device that can safely contain and redirect it," Peter began, his voice focused. "We'll need a combination of specialized circuits, conductive materials, and an intricate network of capacitors. This device will act as a containment and energy extraction mechanism."

Tom listened intently, following Peter's explanation. 'Weird…' He thought, wondering how they had the same exact idea.

Peter continued, his pen gliding across the paper. "The device will consist of multiple layers, each serving a specific purpose. The outer layer will be composed of a high-density polymer that can withstand the immense energy levels without deteriorating. Beneath that, we'll have a network of conductive filaments, strategically placed to absorb and distribute the energy. Finally, the core will house an array of capacitors, designed to store and regulate the excess energy."

As Peter finished his sketch, he looked up, meeting Tom's gaze. "Once the device is in place, we'll need to synchronize it with Electro's own energy patterns. This will allow us to control the extraction process and minimize any potential harm. After all, we need to leave behind a small bit of energy, or else he'll die."

Their conversation had drawn the attention of Electro, who had been lingering nearby, his frustration palpable. He grumbled under his breath, resenting the notion of being cured but trapped by the spell that Peter placed on him.

For a single moment, he wondered whether the spell placed on him would be the same as Dr. Octavius. Because if it was, he would only receive a power boost from the electricity, though he doubted whether Peter would be so stupid.

Peter noticed Electro's reaction but remained undeterred. He folded the sketch and handed it to Tom, a determined glint in his eyes. "We have a plan, Tom. With this device, we'll be able to safely extract the excess energy from Electro. Easy, right?"

Tom nodded, taking the sketch and studying it carefully. "Yeah, I think so." He says as he glances at the Fabricator, which was already in use. "But, I guess we have to wait…"

"It's fine." Peter shrugged uncaringly as he motioned toward the TV. "Can you explain this show to us?"

"Huh?" Tom turns to see a man in an arena, facing off against a car. "It's called Man Vs. Car. I don't get it either."

"Your universe is weird…" Lily comments as she flips through the channel, finding a commercial about something called Strawberry Smiggles.

Norman worked diligently alongside Andrew, keeping his intentions and plans hidden away from prying eyes. He had deceived everyone, disguising his true intentions behind a veil of helpfulness and redemption. While the others believed he was working on their cures, he was secretly altering the formulas, infusing them with a malevolent twist that only he knew.

With a sinister grin curling his lips, Norman tinkered with the vials, carefully adjusting the ingredients. He reveled in the thought of the chaos and destruction that would soon unfold, relishing the power that surged within him. As he mixed the concoctions, a mad glimmer danced in his eyes.

Soon enough, it came time to administer the 'cures', and Norman orchestrated the final act of his treacherous plan. Watching as Andrew gathered the vials, he joined Dr. Connors, who had unknowingly become entangled in Norman's web of deceit.

"The moment has arrived," Norman said, his voice dripping with feigned concern. "I'm a bit nervous, but I know this is for the best."

Dr. Connors nodded, unaware of the sinister intentions hidden behind Norman's gentle facade. The prospect of reverting back to his human form filled him with a small bit of hope.

"Are you ready?" Andrew asks as he loads both vials into their respective devices. A giant syringe for Norman and a breathing mask for Lizard.

Nodding, they prepared themselves, Norman's heart raced with anticipation. Taking the syringe from Andrew, he injected himself with a swift motion, a malicious smile spreading across his face, unable to hold himself back any longer.

A surge of energy rushed through Norman's veins, accompanied by an agonizing pain. His body convulsed, muscles bulging and contorting as he transformed. His skin turned a sickly shade of green, and protruding bones formed a grotesque exoskeleton, resembling his monstrous alter ego, the Green Goblin.

Simultaneously, Dr. Connors breathed in his own cure, unaware of the consequences, hoping for a cure but unknowingly sealing his fate. In an instant, the room filled with anguished screams as Dr. Connors' body grew, his bones elongating and reshaping. His transformation intensified, his mind succumbing to a primal, animalistic state.

The group stood frozen, their eyes widening in horror as they witnessed the catastrophic results of Norman's betrayal. Lily turned away from the TV, watching the two monsters alongside her father, who was genuinely surprised by this turn of events.

'Huh… that didn't happen in the movie.' Nonetheless, Peter remained calm and watched their transformation in interest.

Norman's laughter echoed through the room, a wicked symphony of triumph and malice. "Hahaha! This power… it's so… intoxicating!"

As the dust settled, the monstrous forms of Norman, now a hulking Green Goblin, and the mutated Dr. Connors, known as the Lizard, loomed over the room. The air was thick with tension, as Andrew, and everyone else, realized the depths of Norman's treachery.

As this was happening, Flash Thompson stood across the room, Venom lurking underneath his skin, observing the chaos and sensing an opportunity.

As Venom watched Norman's transformation into a true Green Goblin, a hunger ignited within the symbiote. The sight of the powerful and monstrous creature stirred its primal instincts. It saw in Norman the perfect host, one with immense power and darkness, a combination that enticed Venom's insatiable cravings.

Without hesitation, Venom seized the moment, sensing a a momentary vulnerability in Norman's transformation. The black, liquid-like form of the symbiote erupted from Flash's body, tearing through his clothing and revealing its horrifying presence. Its long tendrils snaked their way across the room and up Norman's legs, clinging to his body with an unnatural grip.

Norman's eyes widened in shock as the alien entity covered him, its tendrils seeping into his skin. The symbiote's dark essence melded with Norman's transformed state, merging into a terrifying union. Venom had found its new host, one whose darkness matched its own.

[A/N: If any of you can find a good picture for this, I'd be impressed. Bonus points for a picture of Lizard's new appearance as well.]

For a moment, Norman's brows furrowed as a silent conversation took place between the two entities before both sides seemed to come to an agreement.

A deep, resonating voice echoed from the merged form of Venom and Norman, their words filled with a mix of malice and triumph. "Together, we are reborn!"

The room trembled with the weight of their malevolence, as the newly formed Venom-Goblin turned its attention toward the stunned heroes. A sinister grin stretched across its monstrous face, razor-sharp teeth gleaming with wicked glee.

Beside him, the hulking lizards let out a monstrous roar, shaking the building with its voice alone.

—————————

Downstairs, a car pulled up to the front of the building and two figures stepped out.

"You're telling me Peter(Tom) was tricked by that loser Quentin Beck?" Tony asked, recalling the guy that used to work at his company. "You know I slept with his wife, right?" He blurts out, getting an accusing look from Rhodey. "What? This was before Pepper."

"I can't believe you…" Rhodes shakes his head in exasperation, realizing that Tony's cuckolding of Mysterio was most likely a big reason why he became a villain.

*Roar!* Suddenly, a deafening roar, similar to a T-Rex echoed in their direction.
