Chapter fourteen A transformation and the Black Cat

We pulled up to Oscorp and raced inside. There were people running and screaming everywhere, then someone collided with me and sent me to the ground. After we got untangled from each other I got a good look at him. He was about thirty five and had dark skin and brown eyes. His hair was in a comb over and his lab outfit was crinkled. The name on his tag read Max Dillion. The moment he regained his senses and realized who I was he began to talk in a terrified tone and said,"Mr. Osborn it's terrible, your father was on the edge of death when he barged in and demanded we inject him with a incomplete genetic serum." My hand came up to halt his speech and I said, "Slow down, What serum?" He took a breath and straightened his glasses before beginning to speak again,"As you know Mr.Osborn, your father is very sick and there is no cure." I nodded my head and he continued, "He forced us to study gene recombination. We were finally able to produce a serum that would not only repair damaged genes and prevent the disease from being passed down. It would also give the user super powers. I tried to tell him that it was incomplete but he just knocked me out and injected it into himself, then. He began gesturing around and said, "All of this happened." My tone was inquisitive as I said, "Is the formula finished now?" He nodded his head and said, "Yes, Mr.Osborn. It was finished a couple of hours ago. It will still give you powers and change your appearance. You will look much better than your father however and it won't affect your mind. We have a sample prepared if you and Ms. Hardy will come this way" This was my chance to beat my father at his own game and save my life. I nodded my head and he began to lead us down stairs and up to a hidden elevator. We steeped in and Max said, "Secret projects authorization Max Dillion" The doors closed and we started to descend.

We were then taken down about ten floors and each one was visible from the walls of the glass elevator, there was something illegal going on around each floor. Weapons, bio research, body armor, cloning. You name it. We arrived at the very bottom floor and then the doors slid open. We walked forward and then we were bathed in a green fluorescent light and there was a metal case sitting on a pedestal in the middle of the room. It had a sign above it that said Retroviral Hypodisplyasia serum. A small hand fell on my arm and when I turned to look at her she had a tiny smirk and began to talk in a warm tone, "Harry this is probably going to be very painful for you but just be strong. I have something to take care of in the bio labs big cat section come find me when your ready." My arms wrapped around her and pulled her in for a long and drawn out kiss. After releasing her lips I began to speak in a soft and hope filled tone, "Felicia now we can have the life that we dreamed about. You won't have to worry about our future children being sick with a genetic disease. The pain will be worth it and after this I have to stop my father." Licia smiled and laid a hand on my cheek and gave me another kiss before saying, "Harry you are one of the strongest people I know. You are going to get superpowers and be a hero after this but perhaps you won't be alone" Before I could ask her what she meant she turned and dashed back to the elevator. That left Max and I alone. He cleared his throat and said,"Mr.Osborn before we commence you should remove all of your clothing that you don't want destroyed. There will be significant bone and muscle growth and it will be excruciatingly painful. We have a pair of stretchy boxers made from the same material Doctor Bruce Banner uses. To cover well you know. After getting undressed and putting on the black stretchy boxers it was time to begin. Max walked over with a needle the size of a flag pole and injected a light green serum into my arm and then dashed out of the room. I felt fine for a moment and then the pain hit like a crashing wave, it brought me to my knees. My whole body felt like it was on fire and a sickening cracking was heard. My screams resounded off of the hollow chamber walls. My nails transformed into claws that could shred metal. My muscles gained from all my years of martial arts grew further and it felt as if I could lift an elephant. My ears began to burn slightly and my canines grew sharper and then it was finally over. I leaned against a table for support and in dashed Max with a full body mirror. My eyes fell on the reflection in the mirror and I was pleasantly surprised. My looks were in much better shape than my fathers. My skin was completely smooth and not goblin like at all. The only noticeable differences were that my skin had a light green tint to it and my eyes were now a blueish green color, my ears were also slightly pointed. My height had increased a foot bringing me up to seven foot ten and my canines looked as if they could do serious damage. I turned to face Max who was shaking in fear and he said, "What do you think Mr. Osborn?" My now gigantic hand landed on his shoulder and my tone was calm as I said, "Thank you for all of your help, now I have to go find Licia in the bio lab" Max caught my attention and said, "Before you go Mr.Osborn you should suit up properly" We went back to the elevator and Max said, "Body armor please" The elevator rose and stopped on the floor beneath the bio lab. There were many different types of armor being made some for combat others for better living purposes. They could protect you from everything from radiation to rocket launchers. Max walked over to a ten foot container and beckoned me over. He then typed in a code and underwent a bio scan, the door slid open slowly and what was revealed was incredible, it was a dark blue suite of armor with Oscorp written across the chest. It was exactly my current height to. It was the most advanced thing that Oscorp has ever built to my knowledge. Max saw my surprised look and said, "Do you like it? This is the finest adamantium suite we have ever made. Your father is running around in a prototype made of cheaper material but this is the real deal.We are also working on a military glider you can ride but it still needs fine tuning. The suite belongs to you just put your hand on the scanner and it will read your vital signs and register them. I placed my hand on the scanner and a red light ran over it. The suite opened and then slowly closed around me after I steeped in. The inside was full of technology and a button caught my attention. I pressed it and a round object came rolling into my armored palm it was a round object that looked like a pumpkin. Max was shaking as he took it out of my hand and sat it on the table and he said, "Mr.Osborn it would very much appreciated if you refrained from playing with the pumpkin bombs. Also the glider is fine tuned and ready for you to use. Bring that mad man down for me and all of us here at Oscorp." I nodded my head and walked to the elevator with my new glider and said, "Bio lab please" Max disappeared from my sight and now it was time to set things right.

My metal boots clanked against the grated floor of the bio lab, there were several different branches of this floor, there were fish, insects, reptiles and mammals. I headed left at the mammals section and that took me to the big cat enclosures. There was everything from lions to pumas. As I walked in however the lights cut off, the only thing I could see was outline of the pacing cats. My heart rate picked up slightly after I heard a giggle. My enhanced hearing picked up on the sound of claws scratching against metal but there was no way to pinpoint the direction it was coming from. Then all of a sudden something grabbed me from behind, my martial arts instincts kicked in and I threw what ever it was. The lights in the room were voice activated so I said,"Lights on" The sight that was waiting shocked me there were shredded remains of what looked to be a gray t shirt and jeans along with a bra and pair of lace underwear . That's impossible though my eyes quickly fell on the thing I had thrown. My mind began to race and say, "Oh, man you've done it now idiot, Licia's going to have our head." My inner voice was interrupted when I heard a high pitched voice say, "Harold Theopolis Osborn, how dare you throw me across the room after everything I did for you" That was Licia no doubt about it. My eyes scanned her from head to toe she was even more beautiful than before. She was wearing a black form fitting body suite with the chest unzipped to just below her breast. It had Oscorp on the left side of the chest. It hugged her body marvelously, it was like a second skin that just happened to be bulletproof and resist blunt force trauma as well as being uncuttable. She had a collar around her neck and the charm hanging from it read Oscorp. She had a eye mask on but her eyes still showed through. They no longer had round pupils in their place were the slanted eyes of a cat. Her muscle had become more toned and she had gained a chest size. She now stood at six foot eight and had claws that looked as if the could shred steel. Her teeth were mostly the same with the exception of her canines they now looked like those of a cat. Her hair was no longer a deep ebony, it was now a gorgeous silver color that seemed to bend the light and give her a halo. My tone was shocked as I said, "Licia what have you done to yourself" She cartwheeled over to me with inhuman grace and smiled and said, "I invented a serum that would give me superpowers like you and Pete. I couldn't let you have all the fun and besides you need someone to bail your sorry butts out. I will explain on the way to the clock tower where Peter and your father are going at it now hurry up. She was out the door in a heartbeat dumb super speed. I was left to follow her like I had been doing my entire life. Hold on Pete were coming with that final thought I was out the door
