Piper:

Chills ran down my spine as I stepped back inside the Oscorp tower. "Hopefully Mr. Towers is out," I mumbled, pushing through the revolving doors. 

"Welcome back, Ms. Smith," said a petite blonde girl with the preppiest clothing I had ever seen. 

"Hello, Ms. Stacy," I said faking a half smile. "It is so nice to finally meet you."  

"I happily announce that Oscorp will be a part of Project Intercept. Both financially and physically," she started. "I will be your lab partner." 

I opened my mouth to speak when a scrawny geek with an awful camera kissed her on the cheek. 

"Peter, I'm working!" She said bashfully. 

"Hello there," I said, extending my hand. 

He took it saying, "Peter Parker." His pubescent voice sounded familiar. My gut turned as the memory of yesterday's fall came to mind. "So, are you recovering well from your fall...I mean, I'm a reporter, I saw it." I smiled while my brain connected the dots. 

"I'm gonna go now," he said, kissing Gwen on the cheek then running out the door. 

"Sorry about that," said Gwen, blushing at the sight of her very awkward boyfriend. 

"It's fine" I replied. "He has a lot in common with my flatmate."

I hadn't realized until now how much I missed Hydra. I sighed as the familiarity of my workplace surrounded me. I ran to my lab station, pinning my badge to my white, coffee stained lab coat and giving a quick "Hail Hydra" before turning to Mindy, my co-worker and explaining my adventure at Oscorp.

"I can grasp being thrown off a building; but I still can't help but wonder why he called us evil," I said, signing a file. 

"That is quite weird," she said, tying her raven curls back in a ponytail, "We help the world, not destroy it like the Avengers."

"Exactly..." I started, when a dark shadow covered my desk. I jumped, startled by my boss who was wearing the usual tie his mother bought him. 

"Tomorrow. In my office. Nine o'clock" He stated bluntly. I nodded, returning to my files.
