"Caught in the Web of the Spider."

I shrugged, "it's fine, you're too skinny for me anyway," I picked up my drink and walked away. I don't know who the hell that chick is and I don't want to know.

I waited for around half an hour, I honestly wanted this stupid thing to just get over with. But then, just as I was growing impatient, a stage was brought forth and Norman got on it.

People cheered and clapped and he thanks them all. He smiled, "thank you all for being with us today. As some of you already know, Oscorp is striving to be the leading edge in clean green energy for some time now, sadly Tony always seems to take the limelight from us on that one," people chuckled, they were amused.

"But now it's our turn to show you what we can do. And while Tony's light for the future twinkles like the distant stars, ours burns like the sun," he smiled, "it took us some time to get people on board. But I am glad to say thanks to my team's efforts and the open mind of many good people Oscorp will now be supplying fresh clean energy for the whole city of New York!"

People gasped as slowly they all began to clap in excitement.

"And we will begin that promise tonight! When my lead scientist Otto Octavius flips this machine's switch the energy transferred into the city will come from this facility alone! And it will run indefinitely for at least a hundred years! So, without further adieu! Otto! Bring us to the future!"

I'll give him this much, he's one hell of a performer. Otto got on stage with Rosey right behind him. He said nothing, he took off his coat and gave it to his wife, revealing his four giant tentacle arms attached to his back. He was still using that mechanical device to connect his nerves to his machine, not good.

Rosey walked off stage and the moment she did the entire stage got up, slowly lifting Otto up. I spread his arms out, they moved independently. They reached down, Rosey held up a wooden box. One arm opened the box while took reached inside and took out a glowing purple stone.

My eyes went wide, 'no,' I ran towards Rosey, I watched as Otto put the stone in the middle of his machine and slowly start the machine.

"You have to stop him," I told her.

Rosey blinked, "Peter? What are you-"

"-that stone, where did you get it?" I asked her looking at the large fusion reactor.

"N-Norman gave it to us, we tested it Peter, it's safe to us," she told me reassuringly.

"No," I told her, "it's a ticking time bomb! Did you ever test it on this machine?"

"We...no, not-"

"What the hell is going on?!" someone from the crowd yelled out.

I turned to the machine, the rock had mutated into a glowed red sun, something was off. Suddenly it pulsated outwards sending a shock wave that pushed people back and had our hair's standing up straight.

"Rosey! I can't hold it! Shut it down!" Otto cried out as he tried to use his arms to hold back the small sun. Wow this guy's stupid.

"Right!" Rosey ran away.

"No!" I chased after her. She reached the switch, but just then a strong flare of solar energy came rushing at her. My spider sense went off but I didn't care, I jumped at her and pushed her out of the wave.

The energy wave passed over us and hit the ground, blowing up pieces of concrete. I looked around, people were running away, I could see Osborn being escorted out by his protection detail.

"Peter?" Rosey asked in confusion, before she snapped out of it and realised what was going on, "we need to stop it!"

"Right! Stay down!" I ran at the switch and looked around quickly finding the off switch. I pulled the lever down and immediately the magnetic stabilizers kicked in and shut the sun down. But it had grown too large, too strong. It wasn't going away quietly.

It sent out a blast of energy right at me. I couldn't get away in time. It hit me and sent my flying across the hanger. I regained control in mid air and back flipped, landing on my feet.

"Rosey no!" Otto cried out as a wave of energy came flying at his wife. He jumped off his platform and used his arms to reached her. He came before her, using his body to protect her from the blast.

"ARGH!" he cried out in pain, I saw the metal arms heat up, slowly fusing into his spine.

"Otto!" Rosey cried out. He was sent flying away, crashing into the warehouse wall. Rosey got on her feet and ran towards him.

Groan!

The entire roof around Otto was collapsing, and she was heading right towards it. 'Shit!' I reached into my pocket and pulled out my web shooters. I sent out quick bursts of web fluid holding up portions of the ceiling and wall.
