SHOCKER

Why do I get the feeling that was a shot at me?

PROWLER

Because it was.

(Beat)

Anyway, I know the people she's attached to. It's not hard to draw her out.

SCORPION

Then tell me who to kill!

PROWLER

Her dad works in the police force. But-

SCORPION

Then that's what we hit next!

PROWLER

NO! My brother also works there, I can't just let you kill him!

SCORPION

Aw, poor Prowler! Get a grip! Help me kill Spider-Woman or I kill EVERYONE in the police department.

PROWLER

Her dad's the police captain...

SCORPION

FINALLY! Some progress! What's his name?

PROWLER

Look that up yourself.

Scorpion swings her stinger, smacking into Prowler and sending him flying. Before he can get up, she pounces over to him and jams her stinger into his shoulder.

SCORPION

I'm getting sick of this! TELL. ME!

PROWLER

It's Stacy! George Stacy!

She pulls out the stinger.

PROWLER (cont'd)

Damn... Thought we could, maybe, give it a minute.

SHOCKER

To be fair, we would be assaulting the police department ALONE. I think we should gather a little cult following maybe?

SCORPION

You have friends in high places, Herman. You do it.

SHOCKER

Sure, whatever, I get the boring jobs then, I guess.

Shocker leaves. Scorpion turns to Prowler.

SCORPION

If you do that, "I don't wanna tell you nothing, I wanna play a little game!" nonsense again, I will kill you and your family. Slowly.

PROWLER

Yes, boss...

INT. PARKER RESIDENCE - DAY

The doorbell rings. May answers the door to find Gwen.

MAY

Gwen! How are you, dear?

GWEN

I'm good, May. You?

MAY

Oh, I'm doing fine. Come in, come in, what are you doing here?

GWEN

Well, Peter wanted me to come over, so-

MAY

What? Peter never told me about this!

GWEN

He said he'd tell you...

MAY

PETER!

Peter's footsteps hurry down the stairs.

PETER

Yeah?

MAY

You didn't tell me Gwen was staying the night!

PETER

Oh, sorry, I forgot...

MAY

She can, but don't spring things on me like that.

She rolls her eyes and lets Gwen inside, closing the door behind her.

May walks off to the kitchen and Gwen practically chases Peter upstairs to his bedroom.

They enter Peter's room and shut the door.

GWEN

So, what are we doing?

PETER

Actually, I wanted to show you something. You'll love it, close your eyes.

Gwen shuts her eyes as Peter shuffles around his room.

PETER (cont'd)

Okay... Open!

GWEN

Woah.

On Peter's bed, neatly laid out, is a bunch of files and test tubes.

GWEN (cont'd)

Where'd you get these?

Gwen looks closely and reads the logo as Peter speaks.

PETER

Oscorp.

Gwen gasps.

GWEN

PETER!

PETER

What? I was curious so-

GWEN

So nothing! You STOLE confidential files from the leading science corporation in the world!

PETER

Yeah...

Gwen looks at him in shock.

PETER (cont'd)

But give it a chance, just read through.

Gwen opens the first file. "Spider Project".

PETER (cont'd)

I got an internship at Oscorp and swiped whatever looked cool. There's one about the spiders we saw, and one about a lizard project. But that's not really the one I wanted to show you the most.

Peter hands Gwen another file. She opens it to find something horrific.

GWEN

My god...

Pictures of people in test chambers. Their bodies modified and mutated. Detailed descriptions of their conditions are typed up underneath.

GWEN (cont'd)

Human experiments?

PETER

Yeah, I felt kinda sick too. We should give this to the Daily Bugle, expose Oscorp for how inhumane and corrupt they are!

GWEN

You're playing with fire Pete...

PETER

Yeah, but someone has to! Maybe I could get them to Spider-Woman. She could help, right?

GWEN

What, her biggest hater will just accept stolen files from her and NOT paint it as a framing?

PETER

Come on, Jameson's not THAT bad. Look, we need to do something about this. Give it to your dad? Please?

GWEN

I-I can try, but it's really a double edged sword, Peter...

Gwen looks back at the bed.

GWEN

What's with the vials?

PETER

That's the "Lizard" serum.

GWEN

AND you stole chemicals!

PETER

Look at what it does, though.

Peter takes Gwen over to his computer and logs on.

He inserts a USB and pulls up a video.

PETER (cont'd)

Recognize this clip?

The hologram video that played at the Oscorp museum plays.
