Chapter 50

As soon as I landed next to Daisy's car, she immediately left it and came toward me.

- Judging by the gun in your hands, and the tracking sensor that stopped working, the target has been successfully eliminated? - Daisy asked, a look of relief on her face.

- Of course, did you ever doubt me? - I made a face like I was offended.

- No, I was just asking! - grinned my partner, and then taking the gun from my hands, threw it into the back seat of the SUV.

- Well, Peter, now that we're done, I think I'll go and report to the one-eyed man on the successful completion of the mission.

- Yeah, good luck. - I slapped her on the ass, and then I flew away before she had a chance to get mad. And I did it for a reason, at that moment I put a transmitter on her, which Siri will use to infiltrate the archives of S.H.I.T.A. and find out where they keep the Diviner, because I was going to collect Terrigen's Mist for my own improvement in the future.

- Peter, you're back? - I heard Aunt May's voice as soon as I got home.

- Yes Auntie, I'm home. - I answered instantly and went to her living room where she was watching some melodrama.

- Did you go to OzCorp? How was it? - she paused the movie and instantly turned her attention to me.

- Not bad. The paperwork checks out. I'll have a pass by tomorrow, and then we'll have a shareholders' meeting at lunchtime, where I'll meet the top brass.

- Mmm, well, good luck with that. Because I'm sure they'll try to turn against you.

- Don't worry, Aunt May. I've got it all worked out, and I've already figured out how to counter them.

- That's good. Then go to the kitchen and eat your dinner before it gets cold. And get to bed early so you'll be awake tomorrow.

- Okay, Aunt May. I will. - I nodded at her words, and then went to the kitchen to eat dinner...

As always, after waiting for Aunt May to fall asleep, I left the house and started patrolling New York City to test my bioelectrics.

I found my first victims within ten minutes. They were two junkies sitting in an unlit corner of the park, doing something.

Somehow I didn't feel like talking to them. So I just landed near them, and touched the tops of their heads with my fingers.

A familiar feeling spread through my body, and immediately both guys fell down paralyzed.

- Hmm, quite a useful ability. I wonder if it would work against Thor. I feel like I'm going to meet him soon," I muttered to myself, and then I accidentally touched the bench while the bioelectric ability was still active.

I felt like I'd been electrocuted again, and it was strange, because it wasn't a person I'd touched.

In that instant, my senses kicked up an alarm, so I abruptly bounced from where I was standing.

- KABOOM! - There was a rather powerful explosion, blowing the bench into small pieces.

- Huh, what the hell was that!? - I was quite surprised, wondering if it was a coincidence or if my abilities had such an effect on an inanimate object.

Not going to puzzle over it, I just walked over to the next bench and repeated the process. A couple seconds later, another bench exploded like a fragmentation grenade.

- Incredible..." I let out a sigh of delight. This ability opened up incredible possibilities for me. In fact, I could easily destroy a lot of things with it. Although I should not run ahead of the locomotive, and first properly test the power of impact on different materials.

I decided to keep the tests quiet during the night. So for the next couple hours, all I did was break into med vaults and steal phenylethylamine. And that night I managed to get about 300 packs of Venom's drug of choice. Although I warned her not to enhance my body anymore. I wanted her to use the energy from the drugs to copy and transfer Thor's abilities to me.

Finished with these matters, I finally headed home. After all, these night walks were not badly depressing and pressed on the psyche ...

Since I didn't have to go to school today because of the OzCorp thing, I decided to get some sleep for once. As such, I woke up close to lunchtime. After eating breakfast and putting on some classic style clothes, I hailed a cab and drove to OzCorp.

The whole trip took me half an hour. After paying the cab driver, I entered the OzCorp building, where I immediately spotted Thomas Wilson, who appeared to be waiting for me.

- Ah, Mr. Parker! You're here at last! - exclaimed the man at the sight of me, and then hastily approached me.

- Hello Mr. Wilson, are you all right? - I greeted the company lawyer in a friendly manner.

- Thank you, everything is just fine. Here is your pass! - He quickly handed me an identification card with a chip.

- Great, are the shareholders here yet? - I asked, taking my pass from his hands.

- Yes, they are already waiting for you in the office. Let me show you out.

Having said these words, Thomas hurried to the passage inside, and I followed him. We quickly scanned our cards, and then the security system gave the okay and opened the door. Having passed through the doorway, we went to the elevator, and then on it we started to go up to the desired floor.

It took a full two minutes to get up. We were both silent, and at last there was a slight jingle, and the door opened.

Mr. Wilson hurried to the right office, and I followed him like a tail. After making a few turns, we stopped in front of a frosted glass office, which appeared to be the place where the stockholders usually met.

Through the glass we could see faint silhouettes, apparently they belonged to the five men who held twenty-five percent of the company's stock.

- Listen, Mr. Parker. As I said before, these people are not exactly pleasant. So if anything happens, please keep your cool and don't be provoked. They can play it up and get in your way.

- Hinder me? Mr. Wilson, I think you underestimate me based on my young age. As much as they'd like to right now, there's nothing they can do to me. As you said before, I own seventy percent of the company. So it's up to me to decide how and with whom to deal. - I grinned at the man's warning.

- N-but...

- It's all right, Mr. Wilson. I'm sure they'll treat me favorably. Let's waste no more time and finally meet them face to face! - Having said that, I didn't bother Thomas any more, and pushed the door open and went inside.....
