92 Chapter 92

[Third Person's PoV]

"This is going to be a little tricky to navigate. If I'm being honest, I don't see a way to save your father.

If I do go over and steal the Lizard Serum, he will get in trouble with Hydra, which would mean he would be on their bad side, which could end in his death.

But if we don't do anything, it would mean the death of who knows how many, which wouldn't be good for anyone," Peter said with a serious expression, looking at Harry as he started calming down from his earlier panic attack.

Normally, Peter wouldn't try to help Norman and would let him face the consequences of his actions, but above all else, he values his friendship with Harry a lot more than his feelings of hate towards Norman.

Harry had a hand on his forehead as he sat down on a chair and looked down with widened eyes and a look of contemplation.

He bit down on his lip and pondered what to choose: the life of his cold, uncaring father, or the lives of strangers he doesn't know.

"Answer me this, if you were in my position, and it was either Uncle Ben or Aunt May, what would you choose?" Harry asked, trying to gain a different perspective.

Peter, knowing that Harry didn't mean any ill will towards the question, sighed as he answered, "Without a doubt, Aunt May and Uncle Ben, but our situation is different…"

Harry knew what Peter was trying to say. Before letting out a sigh, he slapped his cheeks together and looked at Peter with a serious expression.

"Do it…" Harry said, nodding his head.

"Are you sure?" Peter asked with an awkward smile.

To which Harry nodded, "Yes… My father is planning on doing something nefarious. It should be no brainer on what I should choose. But I can't help it, he's my father, he's the only family I have left after all. But just because he's my father doesn't mean I have to let other people suffer and excuse his bad actions. So do it, go and take back the Lizard Serum so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands."

Gwen went and hugged Harry as she knew it was a very hard decision he was making. Peter put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him with a serious expression.

"If something does happen to your father, you aren't going to be alone or without a family. We grew up together for fuck's sakes, you're like a brother to me. So you are never going to be alone."

Harry just let out a sigh as some of the tension left his shoulders, "Thanks, you guys."

Peter nodded and went to get dressed in his Spiderman outfit. He looked at the gadget he finished building and pondered on where to bring it with him to use before sighing and deciding not to.

'It would be caught. I didn't add the light reflection panels on it, which means it can't turn invisible yet,' Peter thought before shaking his head and putting on the mask.

"Wait a minute…" Peter muttered before rummaging through his work desk and grabbing an empty USB which he connected to his computer.

His fingers practically blurred as he started typing away, holographic keyboards then appeared at the side as his arms blurred while he solely focused on the monitor which showed green text flashing down the screen.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked curiously, even with the mask on, anyone looking at Peter could immediately tell he was serious, but Peter never replied and was solely focusing on typing.

Gwen, seeing this, sighed, "He isn't going to answer you. He is in what he likes to call 'The Zone'. It happens when he has an idea and he doesn't want to lose his thought process. When he's like this, Aria is the only one who knows what he's doing, so Aria, what is he doing?" Gwen asked.

"Based on what he's typing and encrypting, he's creating an undetectable virus. The virus doesn't look like it does anything except watch, so it won't be discovered. I believe he's going to switch the USB instead of just stealing it from Norman. He plans to spy on Hydra with this virus, so instead of them receiving the Lizard Serum, they will just receive something that watches over them and spies on them so they could never be one step ahead of him, or so I believe."

After a few more seconds, Peter let out a sigh as he hit the enter key and extracted the USB. "It's exactly as Aria described. It came to me when I put on the mask and was about to turn invisible. Anyways, I better get going before it's too late."

Peter turned invisible before a strong wind hit both Gwen and Harry, ruffling their hair and clothes and causing some of the papers around them to fly all over the room.

"Peter!" Gwen shouted in anger before grumbling and picking up the paper, with Harry helping.

To alleviate the awkwardness, Gwen then asked, "So how are you and Liz doing? She must be pretty disappointed that her party didn't get to happen."

"Yeah," Harry chuckled, glad to think and talk about anything else that isn't his father, "Although she's disappointed, she's thinking about doing it next week as a way to throw one big party just before the midterm exams start. Speaking about Midterms, have you guys decided where you're going to intern?"

Gwen nodded. "It was a tough decision. It was between either Stark Industries or the Baxter Building."

(A/N: Can someone fucking tell me what the name of their stupid organization is called before they were the fantastic 4, Baxter Building just doesn't sound right to me for some reason)

"And what did you two decide on?" Harry asked curiously.

"Well, Peter at first wanted to go to Stark Industries, but then realized they don't really deal with biology, and it's mostly about technology, so we decided to go to Baxter's since it offers both. Plus, Peter is really excited to meet Reed Richards. He said he wanted to test which one between the two of them is smarter since it's been said that Reed is one of the smartest men alive," Gwen explained.

"Huh? Why didn't you just go to Baxter's and he go to Stark's? Wait, don't tell me you two just want to be together?" Harry asked with a weird look on his face.

Gwen blushed and looked to the side, "What's wrong with that?" she pouted.

"Are the two of you ever separated?" Harry teased.

Gwen teased him back, "Why? So you can take him away from me? No way, Jose." Gwen pointed her two fingers towards her eyes before pointing them back towards Harry. "I'm watching you, Osborn. He's mine."

Harry shivered with a disgusted look, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

Gwen just started giggling before realizing that Peter had now entered Harry's home as she watched the monitor.
