Business Proposal (Part 2)

By: Hunter

"Our first guest tonight is the owner and president of Osborn Industries. He has discovered a new way to create artificial life it will move Osborn Industries into the new millennium. Please welcome Norman Osborn."

Norman watched his appearance in awe on the television in the lobby of the Daily Bugle. He stood there remembering; backstage he had met some movie stars that hadn't given him a second glance. If they only knew the truth--that he was really the super villain Green Goblin! Then, those big shots would pay even more attention to him?

"You were great last night Mr. Osborn." Said J. Jonah Jameson's secretary as Norman walked past her into the large office. Norman muffled something to her in return.

"What can I do for you Norman" Jonah asked

"Well I needed…"

BRRRIIIINNG!

"Just a second" Jonah said as he answered the phone.

Norman continues to stare at the television in Jonah's office. He had handled the interview well, he thought.

"Now what did you want?"

Norman grinned. "Well I was wondering if you would like to invest money into the artificial robots development."

"Let me think that over Norman it's a big decision" Jonah said thinking to himself.

"That it is Jonah" Norman said.

"Well call me when you come to your decision then," Norman said as he walked out of Jonah's office

"How many are dead?" The man speaking was the captain of the police, and he didn't want to be seeing this.

"Two," the officer said. "Two guards, John Roberts and Craig Jones." The officer tried to remain calm, but the stink of rotting flesh unsettled him, to say the least.

"Notify their families," the coroner said. "What condition are the bodies in?"

"They seem to be burned by some sort of an explosive."

"What were they guarding?" The coroner shuddered.

" Secret government location documents"

The Green Goblin sat in darkness, pondering the situation. He couldn't help but feel some remorse, though. The two guards he had killed were merely doing their jobs. But they stood in the way of the documents and had to be removed one way or another.

"Well, I have to get back to central park in time for my appearance" Norman said to himself as he removed the Goblin out fit and put on his usual business suit.

Norman looked out into the crowd. There had to be at least 400 people in attendance. And all of them were focused upon the speaker. The speaker was getting ready to introduce Norman. Soon, all eyes would be on Norman Osborn.

"...And now, without further delay, most possibly mankind's greatest thinker, Norman Osborn!"

They motioned to him, and Norman approached the podium. The audience roared.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Norman Osborn The creator of artificial life I've successfully created a robot who thinks for its self"

All of the people watching Norman were filled with hope upon seeing him--all but one, who had a very different agenda. The man stood in darkness, watching the press conference from afar.

"Have there been any downsides to your so-called 'new life, Mr. Osborn?" the reporter asked.

"The doctors are still running tests. They don't know the full scope of things yet. They should have answers by next week at the earliest"

"I'm sorry I can't answer any more questions but I've got an appointment to keep"

Norman left the podium and stepped into his limousine.

"Osborn Industries" Norman tells the driver

Norman soon arrives at Osborn Industries and goes directly to the secret door in the far corner of his office. He types in the code and the door slides open revealing an arsenal of Goblin weapons. Norman puts on the outfit and jets out of the opening door on the ceiling.

Norman goes directly to his hideout in an old rundown motel the hideout is located behind the fold down bed.

"The Green Goblin I presume" asks a man who is hidden in the shadows.

"What the…?" Norman turns around and stares into the face of Mysterio.

"How did you find me?"

"That does not matter now, What matters is that we must destroy Spider-Man"

"I agree but why me? I may have my own plan to destroy that cursed web-head!"

"I came to you because you can get Norman Osborn to help us, with my special effects devices and Norman's robots we could finally kill Spider-Man"

"Alright go to Osborn Industries at 10 am Norman will meet you there in his office"

"And you?"

"I have other things to attend to"

"Norman Osborn?" Mysterio asks a man surrounded by computers

"Ah yes, Mysterio the Green Goblin said you would be coming. I've been waiting for you I've finished two robots for you that is all I can make you I'm on a budget."

"If you could show me a lab where I can make my holo cubes"

Two days later the Green Goblin and Mysterio are going over their plans at Osborn Industries.

"It's time to put this plan into action" Norman chuckles.

A crowd has gathered around Mysterio as he creates one of his little illusions.

Norman comes down on his glider "Where are you Spider-Man we're wait…

Norman didn't get to finish his sentence. Spider-Man had made his presence known. The crowd panicked because of the action, and would surely trample themselves to death if they tried to run.

"Alright, people. Consider this little get-together crashed...courtesy of the Green Goblin and Mysterio!"

Norman groaned. "People always panic at the most inopportune times," he thought, While Mysterio continued to terrorize the crowd.

Spider-Man was becoming frustrated. "This ends now Goblin!" he yelled.

"Now?" Mysterio yelled.

"Now!" Norman yells back as he pulls out a remote control "Lets see what you got Spider-Man"

"What are you two talking about?" Spider-Man spun around to find himself staring into the stale eyes of a robot.

"What is this one of Mysterio tricks?"

"No trick Spider-Man" Mysterio said. "This is the real thing"

"You're dead web-head!" Norman yelled jetting around Spider-Man.

"Oof!" Spider-Man grunted as one of the robot's elctro blasts connected. The padding in Spider-Man's costume protected him from much harm, but it did nothing to shield him from the impact. Spider-Man was thrown off the side of the wall he was sticking to. "Heh! This is going to be easier than I thought." Norman said as he watched the action above everyone.

"Can't you two do your own dirty work" Spider-Man asked, sternly.

"It's just easier to destroy you if someone else does it" Mysterio responded

"Destroy Spider-Man" the robots chanted in a cold robotic voice while they were charging up another blast. As they were about to fire, Spider-Man caught them off-guard with a web line around the legs. The Robots doubled over and fell into pieces as they hit the ground.

"Blast you Spider-Man" Norman yelled throwing a pumpkin bomb.

The bomb landed beside Spider-Man and exploded Spider-Man was caught off guard and he slipped on the robots pieces, falling to the ground Mysterio throw out one of his holo cubes creating a jungle scene.

Unfortunately for Norman, Spider-Man could still see him. Spider-Man fired a web line, but Norman dodged but lost his pouch while doing so. He couldn't get to the pouch quickly enough, so he used his glider as a weapon. Norman continued his assault. Spider-Man retaliated with his webbing, a powerful web line. Norman fell from his glider, as Spider-Man closed in and delivered one super-strength punch to Norman's torso. "Urk..." Norman groaned as he fell to the ground in an unconscious heap. Spider-Man felt satisfied. "One less bad guy on the streets," he said triumphantly.

Mysterio felt a tugging at his cape. He turned around. It was Spider-Man.

"Um. And where do you think your going? You're headed for a one way trip for prison"

"No Spider-Man, Your not taking me to prison not this time" Mysterio pulled his cape from Spider-Man's grasp, he then ran into the tall grass.

"No you don't" Spider-Man said estimating where the holo cube is "if I remember right it was about right here!" Spider-Man said as he crushed the cube ending the jungle scene.

"I've got you now Mysterio." Spider-Man said webbing him up from head to toe.

"Noooo!" Mysterio muffled through the webbing.

"Now to get the Green Goblin," Spider-Man said as he ran back to where he the Goblin.

"He's gone," Spider-Man said to himself.

"Not quite Spider-Man" said Norman as he threw his last remaining pumpkin bomb.

Spider-Man dodged it once again and as he was about to shoot a web line he turned to see the Goblin had disappeared.

The police soon came to take Mysterio away to prison where he would remain until he either served his time or escaped once again.

It had been an eventful day. Norman sat in his limousine, watching TV and basically getting some well-deserved rest. He was thirsty. He pulled out a bottle of water.

As he opened the bottle, he heard the cell phone ring. He picked it up.

"Yes" Norman, said into the phone

The conversation continued for a few minutes as Norman put down the phone he told the driver to go to City Hall.

"Yes sir!" said the large man driving the limousine.

"May I ask why sir" said the man.

"Just business." Norman replied.
