(3rd Person: POV)
As the Oscorp Security personnel went off to get medical as Norman has instructed them to, he joined Peter and Gwen at Otto side.
Since for all their differences and disagreements Norman didn't want Otto to die.
Especially since he counted the man amongst one of his only true friends in the entire world.
Getting on his knees Norman joined Peter and Gwen in examining Otto.
As they did Peter instantly noticed the control chip for the mechanical arms had been fried.
"Okay, that's a problem." Peter spoke.
Leading both Gwen and Norman fo turn their attention to him.
Once they did Peter immediately pointed to the damaged control chip.
Turning their attention both Gwen and Norman instantly realized why Peter had just spoken up.
"No." Norman mused.
"This is horrible." Gwen said.
"Now, wait you two. We don't know anything for sure yet." Peter spoke. Leading both of them to look at him again. "I mean for all we know Dr. Octavious could wake up just fine."
"Such an optimist you are Spider-Man." Norman said.
"Thank you, it's one of mt best qualities." Peter shamelessly replied. "But back to the main topic. Did doctor Octavious and his wife create a back up control chip for his arms? Since I don't think anyone wants to see what happens if he wakes up and those things aren't under his control, right?" He rhetorically asked.
Even though Peter knew exactly what would happen if that occured.
"Right." Norman agreed. "And they did. Rosalie insisted on it, just in case the worst happened."
"Smart woman." Gwen mused.
Peter and Norman nodding their heads in aggreement with her words.
"Okay, if that's the case then let's install it before he goes to the hospital." Peter spoke. "Now, where is the other control chip?"
"I think it's in the lab the Octavious couples been using, however Rosalie would know better than me."
"Then let's not waste another second and go get her." Gwen said. Standing to her feet. "For I'd rather not have her see her husband in any worse a condition than he already is." She spoke.
Norman once more nodding his head in agreement.
Once he did he stood up and went to order some of his security to bring Rosalie front and center.
The woman arriving at her husband side a few minutes later.
After which she gained a look of horror and fear on her face.
But before she could break down Gwen went over to her and gently placed her arms on her shoulders.
"Mrs. Octavious. I know it's hard to see your husband like that. Believe me, if someone I cared about was in the same situation I'd also be feeling what you're feeling right now. However I need you to keep it together. Especially for Otto sake. I also need you to tell me where the spar control chip for the mechanical arms are, since during the experiment the current one was damaged, and I'm sure you have some idea what will happen if Otto regains consciousness without that in place." She spoke.
"I...I..do.." Rosalie managed to say.
"Good. Then please, help us avoid that scenario and tell us where the spare control chip is." Gwen spoke.
"It's in the lab Norman has been lending us. I can show you where." Rosalie spoke.
Gwen nodding her head.
Once she did she, Rosalie, and a few Oscorp security started heading towards the Octavious' couples lab.
While Norman and Peter remained with Otto.
Keeping a careful eye on him.
Even more so once medical personnel arrived and began working on him.
As they did Peter had his body coiled like a spring.
Ready to immediately knock Otto out again, should be and his arms wake up before Gwen and Rosalie returned.
But thankfully that didn't happen.
As such Rosalie was able to implement the new control chip into Otto before he was transported to the hospital.
Rosalie going right along with him.
As this occured Peter tasked some Spider-Bots to monitor the lovely couple, while he and Gwen slipped back into their civilian clothes and rejoined their friends.
"Peter, Gwen." Liz spoke up.
Having spotted them first as they approached the others through the crowd of people.
"Guys. Boy, am I glad to see you two." Ned said.
"Yeah." Felicia added. "On that note, what happened? When this shit started you two were right with us and then all of a sudden disappeared?"
"Got swept away with the crowd. You saw how it was." Peter instantly replied.
His words able to hold true.
For as soon as he and the others left the demonstration room they were followed immediately by a mob of fleeing spectators.
The perfect cover for Peter and Gwen to suit up and handle the situation.
"Well we're just glad you're both alright." Harry said.
Then right after he did the doors to the demonstration room opened and everyone turned their attention towards it.
Given that a still unconscious doctor Octavious was being wheeled out of it on a gurney.
Followed by both Rosalie and Norman.
"Though I guess the same can't be said for doctor Octavious."
"He looks like he was hit by a truck." Ned said.
"Well he was at the epicenter of the accident when it occurred." Peter said. "It honestly a wonder he's coming out on the other side of it as well as he is."
"And how do you know he's doing that well Peter?" Felicia asked.
"Let's just call it a gut feeling." He replied.
"Right." Felicia replied.
Though that didn't really satisfy her curiosity in regards to Peter's words.
However before Felicia has time to think on it further Norman walked up and stood in front of the crowd of spectators.
"Everyone, everyone, can I have your attention please?" He asked in a loud voice. Drawing all gazes towards him. "Thank you. Now, I'll keep this short. What happened here today was a tragedy. But truly it was no one's fault. This is par for the course when it comes to scientific discovery at times. I, as a scientist understand that better than most. That is why I'm imploring you all to try and give doctor Octavious the benefit of the doubt. And on that note I think we should bring this day to a close."
Once Norman did this he began having his security personnel immediately begin escorting people out of Oscorp Industries.
Where the police were waiting outside.
Who began working to get statements from the crowd of spectators who viewed the experiment as soon as this happened.
Since the NYPD still had to do its job.
While this occured Octavious was loaded into an ambulance, which then immediately left the scene and began taking him to the nearest hospital.
As this happened though one person observed the entire situation.
A man.
Who once he saw this slipped off to the side, and took out a phone.
Where he then dialed a number.
The phone only ringing once before it connected.
"Report?" A distorted voice asked from the other end of the line.
"The entire exposition turned into a disaster boss. However the technology does work, and the geniuses behind it are on their way to the hospital as we speak."
"Understood." The voice on the other end of the line replied.
He then spoke a few more words to his subordinate.
Once he finished the subordinate hung up and then immediately went to work destroying the phone in his hand.
Where once he was done he disappeared into a nearby alley.
No one any the wiser.

Surprise!
You guys really thought I was going to let Doctor Octopus make an appearance when I already decided to save him.
Nope!
No way, no how. Nada.
Yeah, I got you.
But there is still more to come from his story. As you can see at the end of the chapter.
What that is, well it's going to have to wait until next time.
Also in regards to Peter's lovers I've truly decided it will only be Gwen Stacy and Black Cat in this fic.
So no Wanda for Scarlet Witch simps.
Also about my hiatus. Unless I'm in the mood to write I won't. And I don't want to give you guys trash chapters like so many other writers I see on webnovel. So while I make take breaks I promise I will finish this story.
Especially since I love it myself.
So until next chapter.
