The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Chapter 40: Time Is Ticking

⚠️BLOOD⚠️

"I found something that can help me fight Norman" Peter announces after Abe shows them the creepy note he received today on March 4th.

"No way! Really?!" Ned gasps.

"How?" Flash wonders.

"Was it something in a note or whatever?" Charles asks.

"Yes actually" Peter nods when it dings to him. "Wait..if he's...I don't think Norman is the one who wrote that note."

"What note?" Betty questions.

"Otto?" Mj guesses.

"Otto" Peter agrees while he grabs the note and puts it on the table for everyone to see. "He told me that everyone was hiding something from me about my parents. May had this box from them for me and she let me go through it. I found a bunch of stuff about them like how they were Shield agents."

"You're parents worked for Shield?!" Cindy whisper shouts.

"Yeah, working for Oscorp was a mission. They knew something was up and that something was Norman combining himself with the goblin. He's been wanting the radioactive spider my dad made ever since but he knew something was up. My dad put his own blood into the spider so the powers would only be given to me. Normans been wanting to get it from me for years and it's another reason why he killed my parents with the plane crash and then he killed my uncle" Peter confesses.

"Holy shit, we're sorry dude but also like your parents are badasses!" Abe apologizes.

"Ya...well anyways, my parents knew he was going to be unstoppable with the goblin and spider dna mixed together. They wrote down a ton of formulas until they found the perfect one to extract the goblin away but I had to make a few modifications in order to also get rid of the spider dna. I started to work on it in the lab last night. If Otto gave me that note, that means he knew what my parents were doing" Peter explains.

"Like how he felt bad after sticking that needle into you that one day" Ned recalls.

"Exactly! He never wanted this to happen! He even helped me with a few things and kept apologizing to me about what he had to do and even told me Norman was after you guys. The thing is if Otto knew, there is a small chance Norman knows or will find out and there is little time. He wants to kill me soon but good news is that I think the serum will be done tonight or worst case, tomorrow night" Peter exclaims.

"So that serum is just going to grab the dnas that aren't his and just...suck it out?" Sally questions.

"Yep!" Peter nods.

"And he wants to kill you like really, really soon?" Abe asks.

"When I was going through my parents box, there was a note on the window saying "tick tock". It's the same words I got a little few notes before I got kidnapped" Peter recalls.

"Same with us" Mj agrees.

"Can we help you in any way?" Betty wonders.

"I don't think you can. I talked with Nat on Saturday to ask if she knew some things about my parents since they both worked with Shield. This is my fight. My parents knew it for years and Nat had told me how everyone knows it's my fight. I'm going to have to be the one to put an end to this" Peter declares.

"Can you at least let me be the guy in the chair? I don't want you to do this alone especially if he wants to kill you and has Beck on his team and Otto to force" Ned sighs.

"Yes you can still be my guy in the chair and yes, you can all be on a FaceTime call" Peter agrees.

"Do you know when he's going to try and attack?" Mj asks.
