Cherreads

Chapter 24 - The Miserable Parker

Somewhere in New York.

Norman Osborn sat silently in his chair, eyes closed, looking exhausted.

Across from him—

Harry Osborn calmly sipped red wine.

His wounds had already been treated.

And more importantly—

He had accepted the truth.

He now understood:

Norman's coldness was protectionEverything was for curing the Osborn family diseaseKidnapping Peter Parker… was to save him

So—

He accepted his father's sins.

Even though guilt remained—

He chose blood over friendship.

"Don't think about it."

Norman spoke without opening his eyes.

"That serum isn't stable."

"I won't risk you."

Harry looked at the syringe on the table—

Then slowly set it aside.

"Sora Yukihara is destroying our research."

"We're just letting him?"

"Not letting him."

Norman replied calmly.

"We simply… can't stop him right now."

"But I've already contacted certain organizations."

Harry smirked.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.?"

"You think they'll help us?"

Norman didn't answer directly.

"Just letting certain people know."

Harry changed topic.

"Our stolen research?"

Norman replied coldly:

"We rebuild."

"We have all the data."

"Time and money—that's all we lose."

Harry nodded.

Then—

A phone call came in.

Norman listened.

"Understood."

"If possible, capture him."

"If not—kill him."

He hung up.

Harry asked,

"He found the place?"

Norman nodded.

"Can he be killed?"

Norman shook his head.

Silence.

Then—

Harry spoke slowly.

"It's time we step into the superhuman world."

"I'll handle it."

Norman opened his eyes.

"You should."

"Start simple."

"The Lizard serum—convert it into gas."

"It's highly infectious."

"Our tests were successful."

Harry's eyes darkened.

"Yes… father."

That conversation—

Cold.

Casual.

Monstrous.

Harry had changed completely in just one day.

Not because Sora Yukihara or Norman influenced him—

But because—

He had always belonged to the darkness.

A remote island in a New York lake.

Once a prison—

Now abandoned.

Secretly purchased by Oscorp.

Officially: a research facility.

In reality?

A place of horror.

In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Electro was tortured here.

In the first film—

Human experiments were conducted here.

And now—

It held Peter Parker.

SHING!

Sora Yukihara's thread bullet pierced through two guards' heads instantly.

Clean.

Efficient.

His thread attacks—

Stronger than bullets when focused.

Weaker when spread—

But still deadly against ordinary humans.

He took a security badge—

Walked straight inside.

To him—

Everyone here deserved death.

No mercy.

No hesitation.

He advanced.

Minimal resistance.

All eliminated.

This place—

Relied on isolation, not defense.

Even in the movies—

Harry could walk in with just authority.

To Sora Yukihara—

It was nothing.

"Is it this one?"

He killed another guard.

A reinforced door stood before him.

He broke it open.

Inside—

Not a lab.

A prison.

Two giant cages.

Inside them—

Two unconscious Lizard mutants.

Locked down with heavy alloy restraints.

"…Damn."

"They really use humans as experiments."

Even Sora Yukihara—

Felt anger.

And something else—

Caution.

Enemies like Oscorp—

Had no bottom line.

That made them dangerous.

Extremely dangerous.

He thought coldly:

"After I save Parker…"

"I'll wipe them out completely."

"Only dead enemies are safe."

He turned and left—

Continuing deeper.

Then—

He saw it.

A sealed laboratory.

He broke in.

And froze.

There—

On the table—

Was Peter Parker.

Unconscious.

Barely human.

His body—

Destroyed.

Flesh torn apartJoints exposedBone visibleSkin missing in places

Everywhere—

Cuts.

Dissections.

Experiments.

If not for the spider mutation—

He would have died a hundred times.

Sora Yukihara's eyes turned cold.

Very cold.

Then—

A voice echoed through the speakers.

"Sora Yukihara…"

Harry's voice.

Calm.

Almost amused.

"Isn't this… beautiful?"
