*Back in New York at Oscorp Industries, a scientist named Mendel Stromm was giving a demonstration of a flying glider and techno suit to a military General, Slocum as well as members of the board of Oscrop, Fagus and Balkan.*
Stromm: We've solved the horizon glide and the multi-G balance issues.
Slocum: I've already seen the glider. That's not what I'm here for.
*From a platform above, Norman and a bunch of Scientists arrive.*
Norman Osborn: General Slocum, good to see you again. Mr. Balkan, Mr. Fargas.
Fargas: Norman.
Balkan: Mr. Osborn.
Norman Osborn: Always a pleasure to have our board of directors pay us a little visit.
*He walks down the steps and walks with the General and members.*
Slocum: I want to see the progress report on Human performance enhancers.
Stromm: We tried vapour inhalation with rodent subjects. They showed an 800 percent increase in strength.
Fargus: 800 Percent?
Balkan: That's excellent.
Slocum: Any side effects?
Stromm: In one trial yes.
Norman Osborn: It was an aberration. All the tests since have been successful.
Slocum: In the trial that went wrong, what happened? What were the side effects?
Stromm: Violence, aggression, and insanity.
Slocum: What do you recommend?
Norman Osborn: That was only one test. With the exception of Dr. Stromm our entire staff certifies the product ready for human testing.
Slocum: Dr. Stromm?
Stromm: We need to take the whole line back to formula.
*Unimpressed and visibly disappointed, Slocum pinched the bridge of his nose and walked to the right a bit. Norman looked at Stromm, shocked and upset.*
Norman Osborn: Back to formula?
Slocum: Dr. Osborn. I'm going to be frank with you. I never supported your program. We have my predecessor to thank for that.
Balkan: Norman, the General gave the go-ahead to Quest Aerospace to build a prototype of their exoskeleton design. They test next year in the summer.
Slocum: And if your so-called performance enhancers have not had a successful human trial by that date I'm gonna pull your funding. I'm going to give it to them. Gentlemen. Ladies.
*Slocum and the others walk off. Norman is desperate to make the project work. He's left thinking of a way to save the company. Back at Hogwarts, Peter meets up with Hermione and Ron who are in the courtyard, sitting on a bench, studying.*
Ron: I thought you were supposed to be practicing today.
Peter: Needed a break. Besides, I gotta catch up on my classes.
*He sits down next to Hermione. Just then, his Spider-Senses went off. He looked around the courtyard to spot nothing. Hermione and Ron spot his confusion.*
Hermione: What's the matter?
Peter: I don't know. Something triggered my brain on high alert.
Ron: What was it?
Peter: Not sure.
*Peter then spots the Slytherin team confronting the Gryffindor team.*
Peter: I spot trouble.
