章節 92: Chapter 91

Felicia didn't like it, but she understood. We talked for some time before the doorbell rang.

"They're here," Felicia's mother, whose name I learned was Valeri, quickly walked to the door. She turned to me and Felicia, "remember you two, be on your best behaviour."

"Yeah mom," Felicia rolled her eyes.

Valeri's eyes landed on me, her unspoken order hanging in the air. I nodded, "understood."

"Good," she turned to the door and put one a big smile as she threw it open, "Norman! So glad you could make it!"

"Thank you Valeri," a tall man in a business suit walked in, "you have a lovely home," he turned around and glared at someone behind him. He pushed the figure forward revealing Harry, "you remember my son Harry?"

"Hello Mrs. Hardy," Harry gave a sheepish smile, "you have a lovely home."

I couldn't believe it, Norman freaking Osborn...fuck! Again?! AH! This guy's like herpes! I can't just seem to get rid of him! And if it's like this now one can only imagine how it would be when he goes all crazy and green!

"Welcome Norman, please, come in," she smiled as she invited them in, "will anyone else be joining us tonight?"

"No, just us three and-" he looked over at me and Felicia standing in the distance. His eyes fell on me and immediately he laughed, "well I didn't think I would see you here!"

I put on a smiled as well, "heya Dr. Osborn, how have you been?"

"Fine Peter, just fine," Norman smiled turning to Felicia, "and that must be your daughter right Valeri?"

Valeri snapped at her confusion at Norman's addressal before nodded, "y-yes, Felicia, come here please." Felicia let out a quiet groan as she stood next to her mother who gave her a one arm hug, "my pride and joy. I understand she and Harry go to the same school yes?"

Norman nodded, "yes, I belive so."

"Oh how wonderful!" Valeri smiled, "Felicia, why don't you show Harry around the house."

Harry gave of a pervish smile, "that would be lovely." I so wanted to punch his fucking teeth out of his fucking skull.

"Peter," Valeri turned to me with a smile, "don't you have somewhere to be?"

I glared at her, "do I?"

"Ah, yes, you did say so didn't you?" Valeri looked angry, but fuck it, no way in fucking hell am I leaving Harry Osborn and his fucking fingers anywhere near my Cat!

"No, I don't think so," I growled.

"Oh, were you leaving Peter?" Norman asked surprised.

"Yeah, I was, work called, but I told them I was busy," I moved next to Felicia glaring a hole into Harry's skull. I wrapped an arm around her, suprising her with my protectiveness, "so I'll be right here."

Valire looked outraged, Harry looked a little nerous, Felicia smiled at me and Norman gave a hearty laugh, "that's wonderful! I've been meaning to talk to you for some time now Peter, I'm so glad we can do so now."

That made Valerie escape out of her stunned look. She blinked, "I'm sorry, but what do you mean? Do you know Peter?"

"Know him? Why Valeri, this boy here single handedly saved my company!" Norman laughed.

"What?!" Harry asked shocked, an expression matched by Valeri.

"What is he talking about?" Felicia leaned in and whispered.

"I prevented one of his science experiments from going supernova and destroying half a block," I whispered back.

"Oh...as Spider-man?"

"Nope."

"You are so telling me that story."

"Yup," I popped out the last syllable.

"Now Peter my boy, what are you doing here? I must admit I was surprised seeing you here," Norman smiled.

"I was just visiting my girlfriend," I squeezed Felicia's shoulder, "I didn't really realize I was interrupting your dinner plans though, sorry about that."

"Oh it's fine, I'm glad you did. And might I say a fine choice," Norman nodded at Felicia, "I'm sure she'll grow up to be a beauty like her mother one day."

Felicia didn't really take to the compliment, she replied icily, "thanks."

"Excuse me Norman, but I still don't understand, how do you know Peter?" Valeri asked once more. Oh so now she knew my name? Figured, the moment she realises I'm worth something I am worth remembering.

"Well to be honest that has a lot to do with the fresh energy contract actually," Norman explained, "it's was during the Christmas party, I had invented Peter here as a thank you for saving Harry's life during the Stark Expo, if I recall correctly he also saved your own daughter's life too?"

Valeri's eyes went wide, "what?!" She turned to Felicia, "what happened?!"

Felicia rolled her eyes, "I told you mom. A couple of those Hammer robots went mad and tried to kill us. Shesh, it's like you don't even listen."

"And if I recall correctly Peter here made sure none of our children got turned into cheddar cheese," Norman chuckled at his joke.

"Really?" Valeri said turning to me.

I shrugged, "was nothing."

"Either way, he had my gratitude," Norman continued, "so I invited him to the party to show him what Oscorp was going to achieve, in a way to….persuade him into leaving his current employer."

"Never going to happen," I grinned.

"Well you can't blame a man for trying," Norman chuckled.

"I'm sorry? Current employer?" Valeri asked, "where does Peter work?"

"The Baxter Building," I supplied with a smug tone of voice. I usually wasn't this petty, but this bitch thought I was basic white trash, fuck you cunt!

"T-the Baxter Building? With the Fantastic Four?" Valeri stammered.

"Yeah mom, he knows them too," Felicia smirked, "heck, he even has Johnny Storm on speed dial. Which honestly kind of pisses me off, I mean I'm not even on your speed dial and I'm your girlfriend!"

"Hey, I don't have him on speed dial, that was a long time…" I pulled out my phone and saw Johnny's number saved on speed dial, "...huh...forgot about that. Sorry Kitten."

Norman chuckled, "well, anyway, I invite him in and like everyone else he was unaware as to why the event was happening. But he takes one look at Otto, and in seconds he figured out my evening plan. I have never seen anything like it. And then he takes it a step further and points out a flaw in Otto's machine so significant it could have potentially derailed the entire branch's launch. Peter here effectively saved me from going bankrupt and having to deal with my hostile board members."

I blinked, I didn't realise it but he was right. I had stopped him from going under pressure by his board members, did I somehow prevent not one, but two of my mortal enemies? Did both the Green Goblin and Doc Ock die that day? God I hope so.
