Chapter 067 New assignment

Chapter 067 

"So, let me get this straight. You are Lycan, the vigilante that defeated that monster in Harlem and helped take down the drones at the expo. You have a wolf attached to your soul and some other cool skills. Is that all?"

Peter said, an expression of disbelief still on his face. His wounds had already healed quite a bit by this point. But he wasn't focusing on that.

It was a huge shock to him that his friend had superpowers.

"That's all for now, I guess. Anyway, Peter, I know me not being normal is shocking to you. But let's focus on the important stuff currently. We can talk about our powers later."

Alex said, not wasting any time. They will have all the time in the world to discuss each other's powers after they dealt with the Lizard.

At least all the time in the world before an alien army came crashing down from the sky.

Peter also understood the meaning behind his words and nodded his head.

He released a sigh as his mind focused on Dr. Connors again. Somewhere in his heart, he blamed himself for what Dr. Connors has become.

"Dr. Connors… Well, I made him like that."

He said, looking down on the ground.

"What?"

"I gave him an equation… that made all of this possible. Something my father had been working on, you know." He frowned. "Secretly. Now I realize why he kept it a secret."

"But we can't stop him by punching or killing him. I don't think it will work." Alex said, thinking back to Lizard's increased strength. "Like this, he will probably keep using the serum to get stronger."

It was not only that.

Alex knew very well that the chemicals Dr. Connors was injecting into his body were messing with his mind. He had probably already developed several mental illnesses like schizophrenia.

If he was left alone, maybe he would never be normal again.

"I know that well but I can't think of a way to make him normal. Those lizard genes must have messed up his genes. We need to find a way to reverse the effects somehow without killing him."

Peter said and thought back to the cross genetic mutation research that Dr. Connors was doing. At that moment, Alex suddenly opened his mouth.

"Can you do that? An antidote?"

Knowing the plot well, he just needed to make sure Peter got his hands on the antidote earlier.

So, he was trying his best to direct the conversation to that.

"Do you mean something like a gene neutralizer?" Peter asked as he thought in his mind that this was definitely possible.

"Yeah, Oscorp would have all of Dr. Connors' research right? Do you have a way to get there and make an antidote?"

Peter shook his head and sighed.

"I don't have access now." 

"Do you know anyone who has the access?"

"Yes, my girlfriend. Gwen has access. She works in Oscorp." Peter said with a bright smile.

Gwen Stacy was one of the most brilliant minds in this universe and because of that, Dr. Connors valued her a lot and had given her a pass to access his lab in Oscorp.

"That's nice. Get her to start working on the antidote. We need to hurry as The Lizard is getting more and more ferocious. And there's one more thing..."

Alex began and Peter tilted his head, wondering what he wanted to say.

"What?"

"When The Lizard was running away, I saw him snatch the camera away from the wall. That was yours, right? So, there's a high chance he already knows your identity."

Peter's eyes widened when he heard that and he realized that indeed, his camera wasn't with him. He wanted to get proof of The Lizard to show Captain Stacy but his actions had just put his identity in danger once again. 

Second time in one day!

He could only sigh and spew out a curse to release his frustration.

Phil Coulson moved towards Director Fury's office with a stinging pain in his head. He had been busy due to the events in Mexico till now, but during his mission, he was called back to deal with something going on in New York City.

Apparently, a giant lizard had appeared out of nowhere and Shield was being asked to handle it.

"Director Fury."

He greeted Fury as he entered his room. Fury was looking outside the window and when Coulson entered, he turned back and sat down on his chair.

"How were things in Mexico?"

"A little crazy... Our suspicions were true. Even gods are becoming real."

"I won't call them that. They are more like aliens. It's better than people treating them as the reason for their existence. Fate can become a little crazy. We already saw that with Hydra in the past."

Coulson nodded his head and started going on over why he was called to New York on such short notice.

"So, a giant Lizard?"

"See this."

Fury slid a file to Coulson and he opened it to see some photos. They were the photos of Alex and Peter fighting The Lizard on a bridge. The photos were a bit blurry but he could still see the giant tail and sharp claws of The Lizard.

"Another monster after Blonsky." He said with a frown. They are becoming too common now.

"This time, we can't find the source of it. At least not yet. Alex and his friend are handling the monster but we don't know when it will get out of bounds."

For record, Peter was already on Shield's radar. Though he wasn't chosen for Avengers Initiative, he was still included in the Index.

"You want me to investigate it?" Coulson asked.

"And stop it. At the same time, monitor over Alex and Peter Parker. Both of them can go a long way with our guidance. I want you to help them if it gets out of control."

"Understood."

Coulson said and nodded his head, preparing himself for yet another mission.
