Leo landed on the roof of the building adjacent to the old Oscorp tower, his mind racing with anticipation. The sound of police sirens and the commotion below indicated that something significant was happening within the abandoned structure. The tower, once a symbol of power and innovation, now stood as a silent sentinel of its former glory.
As Leo surveyed the scene, he noticed the perimeter of the tower swarmed with law enforcement, their guns drawn and their expressions tense. They were on high alert, guarding whatever lay within the confines of the building.
A flicker of suspicion crossed Leo's mind. Could it be the return of the Goblin? But that couldn't be possible. The Green Goblin, once a formidable enemy, was supposed to be locked away in the high-security prison known as the RAFT.
The RAFT was a maximum-security facility specifically designed to house super-powered individuals and dangerous criminals. It was known for its state-of-the-art technology and heavy surveillance, making escape nearly impossible. Leo knew that the chances of the Goblin resurfacing were slim, but he couldn't ignore the possibility entirely.
Lost in his thoughts, Leo contemplated his next move. He knew that the best course of action would be to investigate the tower. Perhaps there was something or someone inside that could shed light on the situation. With a resolute determination, Leo prepared to breach the tower, searching for any crevice or opening that would grant him access.
Just as he was about to swing towards the tower, a group of armed thugs burst out, opening fire on the police below. The chaos provided the perfect distraction for Leo to slip past undetected. He seized the opportunity, launching himself towards the tower, his mind focused on uncovering the truth that lay within its walls.
As Leo swung onto the building, the sound of another web-shooting echoed in the air. He looked across the street, he spotted a figure clad in a familiar red and blue suit—Spider-Man. It seemed that Peter had also joined the fight, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. Leo knew he had to act quickly and discreetly if he wanted to uncover the truth before Peter noticed his presence.
Without wasting any time, Leo rushed into the building, his senses heightened. He followed his instincts, leading him to a door vent. As Leo pried opened the door vent, climbing through the narrow pipe, he made his way deeper into the structure. After a few minutes of navigating through the ventilation system, he found an exit and dropped, silently and directly into a storage room.
The room was like a forgotten chamber, filled with cleaning appliances covered in dust and crawling with spiders and other filthy pests. It had an eerie, abandoned atmosphere that sent chills down Leo's spine. Ignoring the unsettling ambiance, he focused on his mission.
Moving towards the door, Leo's ears caught snippets of a conversation from the other side. A man was speaking, his voice laced with authority, and it was evident he was instructing his subordinate to open the lab door quickly, fearing Spider-Man's imminent arrival.
Leo cautiously opened the door slightly, peering into the room where the conversation was taking place. To his surprise and concern, he recognized the familiar figure, Scorpion, a formidable enemy of Spider-Man, accompanied by a group of henchmen. There was also a scientist, wearing a white coat and struggling to open the lab door. Leo's mind raced with questions. Why was Scorpion here? And what could they possibly hope to find in the now abandoned Oscorp tower?
Fortunately for Leo, he had fortuitously landed in a cleaning closet located conveniently close to the group. It seemed luck was on his side, but he needed to find out what their motives were. He pondered the fact that the government had already confiscated all the experiments conducted at Oscorp, leaving him puzzled as to what could be left to salvage.
Putting his thoughts aside, Leo decided to tail behind them and seek the answers he desperately sought. The lab door finally cracked open, and Scorpion, accompanied by his henchmen and the scientist, entered the laboratory. Two of the thugs were left stationed outside to ensure Spider-Man's arrival.
Seizing the opportunity, Leo quickly devised a plan. He silently climbed up to the ceiling, directly above the unsuspecting thugs who were engaged in idle chatter about their boredom. Listening to their conversation, Leo gained some insight into their presence but was still unsure of the full picture.
Without warning, Leo dropped down behind the two guards. In a swift and precise motion, he retrieved a knife from his pocket and swiftly incapacitated them both. The first thug had his tendon sliced, rendering him immobile. Leo swiftly turned to the second thug and silenced him by slicing his throat. Before the last thug could even react, Leo shot a web into his mouth, effectively preventing any sound from escaping, and then swiftly ended his life by cutting his throat.
With the guards neutralized, Leo moved into the lab, his focus now solely on following Scorpion.
As Leo climbed around the ceiling, silently observed the scene from his vantage point, his eyes fixated on Scorpion and his entourage as they made their way through the lab. They came to a seemingly plain wall, devoid of any markings or indications of what lay beyond. Leo's curiosity intensified as he watched the scientist stroke the wall and deliver a precise punch to a specific spot, revealing a small portion with a keypad.
The scientist swiftly entered a code, causing the wall to slide open, revealing an untouched laboratory within. Leo knew he had to act quickly if he wanted to sneak past them unnoticed before the wall door closed again. The stakes were high, and any misstep could expose his presence and jeopardize his mission.
As the group walked into the lab, two guards positioned themselves at the rear, their faces scanning the area for any signs of an impending attack. Leo assessed the situation and formulated a plan. He needed a diversion to create an opportunity to slip past the guards without raising suspicion.
With calculated precision, Leo swiftly moved across the ceiling and shattered all the lamps, plunging the area into darkness. The sudden absence of light startled Scorpion and his men, as they suspected the arrival of Spider-Man. Sensing an opportunity, Scorpion ordered two guards to investigate, their rifles equipped with flashlights.
Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the broken lamps, Leo maneuvered quickly and silently, entering the second lab through the opened wall door. He moved along the ceiling, utilizing his spider-like agility to stay out of sight. The guards, unaware of his presence, closed the wall door, sealing off the first lab and leaving Leo hidden in the shadows.
With his heart pounding in his chest, Leo cautiously navigated the ceiling of the second lab, observing the activities below.
As Leo listened from his hidden position on the ceiling, he overheard Scorpion commanding the scientist to locate the Superhuman serum, also known as the Goblin formula. Leo's mind raced with questions. Why were they searching for the serum? Could someone be attempting to create an army of Goblins?
As Leo contemplated the implications, Scorpion engaged in a conversation with his henchmen. Their voices echoed in the dimly lit lab, their words carrying a sense of urgency and ambition.
"Once we retrieve the Superhuman serum, we will be rich! Fisk will pay handsomely for it!" Scorpion said eagerly to his henchmen.
The mention of the name "Fisk" by Scorpion ignited a fire within Leo. The memories of his sister's tragic death at the hands of Fisk flooded his thoughts, fueling his rage. The desire for revenge and vengeance surged through his veins, overpowering his rationality.
In a moment of impulsive determination, Leo decided to confront Scorpion directly, disregarding the risks involved. Without a second thought, he dropped from the ceiling, landing in the back of Scorpion with an imposing presence. His voice dripped with menace as he demanded, "Where is Fisk?!"
The henchmen surrounding Scorpion quickly reacted, their rifles aimed at Leo. The tension in the room escalated as the henchmen prepared for a confrontation, their expressions hardened and ready for a fight.
Leo's heart raced, but he stood firm, undeterred by the threatening guns pointed in his direction. His eyes locked onto Scorpion, waiting for a response. Every fiber of his being was focused on uncovering Fisk's whereabouts, ready to take down anyone who stood in his way.
