Next Day
Naruto was sitting on the couch, looking at his fathers briefcase, since he found it he hadn't really looked through it, but now was a better time than any, leaning forward he examined the briefcase and after a moment found a secret pocket that contained 2 tapes, a broken glass phial, and a folder of his father's equations, the main equation is marked with the symbol of two zeros crossed with diagonal lines, "What is this?" he asked reading from the notes in the file, "Zero, zero, Decay Rate Algorithm."
Naruto looked through the file and saw the decay rate algorithm was the only thing that looked important, unknown to Naruto the box that he had stored the briefcase into had a passenger that was in the phial, standing Naruto walked to the all the equipment he had and found an old tape recorder,
Walking over to the couch, Naruto popped in a tape, and watched as Richard appeared and put his hand over his mouth before he began to watch, unaware of the common house spider with a red 42 on its back scurrying toward him, but it quickly hid as Naruto stood up and walked to a news paper on Oscorp and saw the mystery man in his dads photo, "Curt Conners."
With a frown, Naruto left the house being watched by the spider that crawled up the wall in a corner and stayed there
OsCorp
Naruto walked into the co many, and gave a whistle before a receptionist got his attention, "Excuse me?"
"What?" Naruto asked walking over
"Can I help you?" the receptionist asked
"Yes, I'm here to see Dr. Connors." Naruto smiled
"Right. You'll find yourself to the left." she said
With a raised eyebrow, Naruto looked to the left and saw badges, with a shrug he swiped a name, Edward Pike, "Thanks."
Naruto headed upstairs in OsCorp Tower where he found where the group of interns gatherd and Gwen introducing herself to them, "Welcome to OsCorp. My name is Gwen Stacy, I'm a freshman at Empire State University, and I'm also head intern to Dr. Connors, so I'll be with you for the duration of your visit. Where I go, you go. That's the basic rule. If you remember that, all will be fine. If you forget that, then..., ' at that moment everyone heard the real Edward Pike shouting his name as he's being dragged away by security, as Naruto tried not to laugh, "Well, I guess I don't need to tell you what happens if you forget that. Shall we."
Naruto stayed in the back watching his friend, confidently give her tour, before Connors appeared and addressed the interns
"Welcome, my name is Dr. Curtis Connors. And yes, in case you're wondering, I'm a southpaw." Conners said causing the interns to laugh, "I'm not a cripple, I'm a former scientist and I'm the world's foremost authority on herpetology. That's reptiles, for those of you who don't know. But like the Parkinson's patient who watches on in horror as her body slowly betrays her, or the man with macular degeneration who's eyes grow dimer each day, I long to fix myself. I want to create a world without weakness. Anyone care to venture a guess just how?"
One of the interns puts up their hand, "Yes?" Conner's asked
"Stem cells?" the intern asked
"Promising, but the solution I'm thinking of is more radical...No one?"
"Cross-species genetics." Naruto said causing everyone to turn and look at him at the back of the group, Gwen looked at her list of intern names, and smiled at Naruto, "A person gets Parkinson's when the brain cells that produce dopamine start to disappear. But the zebrafish has the ability to regenerate cells on command. If you can somehow give this ability to the woman you're talking about, that's that. She's curing herself."
"Yeah, you just have to look past the gills on her neck." an intern said as the ither laughed but Naruto ignored that
"And you are?"
"Naruto Parker." Naruto said as Conners looked surprised
"Naruto." Conner's whispered before he waved away from the group, "Care to talk?"
"Sure." Naruto smiled
Naruto winked at Gwen who held down a smile before she focused on her interns as Naruto followed Conners into his office,
Moments Later
Naruto was sitting across from Conners, "I read your book."
"Oh?" Conners asked impressed
"Yeah. It's something. So you really think its possible, cross-species genetics?" Naruto asked
"Yes, of course. But for years your father and I were mocked for our theories, not just in the community at large, but at OsCorp as well. They called us mad scientists. And then your father bred the spider and everything changed. The results were beyond encouraging, they were spectacular. We were gonna change the live of millions, including my own. Then it was over. He...he was gone, took his research with him. And then I knew without him I...I...I was angry, so I stayed away from you and your family. And for that I'm truly sorry." Conner's said
"I understand completely." Naruto sighed, getting a bid from Conners, "Say...say it worked. Say you got it to work. Like how much would the foreign species take over? What could the side effects be?"
"It's hard to say, considering no subjects survived. The problem was always..." Conner's began
"Decay Rate Algorithm?" Naruto asked
"Right." Conner's said confused on how Naruto knew about it
"Right. Can I uh..." Naruto trailed off pointing to a pencil and paper
"Of course." Conner's said pushing the pencil and paper over to Naruto who wrote out the algorithm from his father's notes and passed it to Connors, "Extraordinary. How did you come up with this?"
"Remember my dad slaving in his office over this equation before someone broke in and trashed his work." Naruto said causing Conners to frown slightly
Later
Naruto was leaving when he saw Gwen walking away from the interns over to him, "Hi. How you doin', Edward?"
"Oh, yeah." Naruto smiled looking down at his badge
"What are you doing here?" Gwen asked
"Needed to talk to Conners, he and my dad worked together." Naruto said causing Gwen to look surprised
"Does he know what happened to them?" Gwen asked getting a shake of the head from Naruto
"Ima let you get back to work, call me later?" Naruto asked
"Sure." Gwen smiled before Naruto handed her his badge and left while Conners watched him and looked down to the paper, an obsessive glint in his eyes as he resolved to work on the equation tonight when everyone was gone
Later
Naruto returned home, and picked up one of the tapes, and watched it for a moment before with a sigh he stood up and got a old video camera before he popped in a tape, and frowned as his father appeared,
"Test. My name is Richard Parker. Whatever lies will be told about me, I would like the world to know the truth. OsCorp was already a leader in genetic research, I was given a mission to work undercover when with my help Oscorp tried to perfect the Super-Soldier Serum for S.H.I.E.L.D.. Over time we developed a drug known as Oz. We used various animals in our experiments including spiders. When Norman Osborn made a deal with a covert military organization to continue funding my research, and I discovered what they were going to use it for. Weapons, biological weapons, of course. So I refused, and now to eliminate me from the picture, I suspect that Norman Osborn has falsified evidence against me in order to take control of my work."
Naruto glared his eyes turning into a fully matured Sharingan, "It doesn't matter because there is something else that Norman doesn't know. The Human DNA that I implanted in the spiders wasn't human. It belonged to my boy Naruto who is from a race that hails from Asgard, which means that without him, without his bloodline, OsCorp can never replicate or continue the experiments.
Naruto's eyes widened, "I have destroyed as much as possible from the archives, but I didn't have time to kill all the spiders. So as a former spy, and scientist my choice is very clear now, I have to disappear, I have to get as far away from here as I can. But as a father, it means I may not see my boy again and nothing is as important to me as my son, Naruto. Nothing in this world. But I have a responsibility to protect the world from what I've created and protect him from what I know Osborn is capable of. People will say I'm a monster for what I've done. Maybe they're right. I always thought that I'd have more time."
Naruto paused the video as tears filled his eyes, and gave a small smile knowing that his father loved him, reaching for the other tape he brought it forward but his eyes widened when he saw a spider on his hand that bit him, "Bitch!" Naruto hissed in surprise before lightning erupted around his hand killing the insect
Naruto looked at the 2 bite holes in his hand, surprised that the spider could pierce his skin, as his wound sealed itself together leaving unmarked skin behind,
Next Day
Naruto was out on patrol when he saw a burning building and heard the yells of a mother about her baby being inside, falling from a roof to a street lamp, Naruto swung his body over through a window into the building
Everyone looked up waiting anxiously especially the mother when the room next to the one Kitsune went into exploded causing her to scream as glass rain down on her, and the fireman before Kitsune appeared in a red flash with her baby
"Here you go mam, your baby is fine.' Kitsune said handing the woman her baby watching as she hugged the babe close to her
"Oh, my baby! God bless you, Kitsune. Bless you." the motber said as Kitsune watched her before her friend gasped
"Oh, my God, there's somebody still up there!" the lady said
Kitsune jumped to the building and ran up the wall before he made it to the window and stepped in, looking around Kitsune heard sobbing but sensed negative emotions as well and narrowed his eyes at the figure in a coat standing in the fire
"I assume you started the fire?" Naruto asked causing the figure to stop sobbing and turn to him revealing the man from the festival that the public has taken to calling Green Goblin
"I wanted to talk." Goblin said a bit ticked that he wasnot able to take Kitsune by surprise, "You're an amazing creature, Kitsune. You and I are not so different."
"I'm not like you. You've murdered innocent people." Naruto said
"Well, to each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you. Why bother?"
"I'm not doing this for glory, Im doing it because its right." Naruto said causing Goblin to laugh
"There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me we're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now."
"You're welcome to try." Kitsune said
"I'm offering you a choice. Join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together. What we could create. Or we could destroy. Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle again and again and again until we're both dead. Is that what you want?" Goblin asked
"This will not be a cycle, that will keep repeating. If your existence is a danger to the people then you will die." Kitsune said
"So your saying no?" Goblin asked
"Obviously." Kitsune smirked
"Wrong answer!" Goblin yelled tossing a yellow orb that broke apart into 6 razor bladed projectiles that flew at Kitsune who took a deep breath and blew out a gust of wind so strong it snuffed out the flames, sent the razor bladed projectiles towards Goblin who was sent flying out the building down to the streets below but his Glider saved him and took him away from the scene
Kitsune watched him go, but saw unconscious people and decided to help them,
Later
Naruto walked down the road and saw Mj leaving work, "Hey." Naruto called causing her to turn around and smile brightly as the two embraced, "So how was your audition?" he asked
"They said I needed acting lessons. A soap opera told me I needed acting lessons." Mj said sadly as Naruto frowned and looked thoughtful
"Why don't you go to school and study drama?" Naruto asked
"I don't have the money for that."
"Well lucky you have a lifelong friend that can splurge." Naruto said
"I can't ask you to do that." Mj said shaking her head
"You're not, I'm doing what a friend is supposed to do, help a friend achieve their dream." Naruto smiled getting one in return, "C'mon, I'll get you a cheeseburger."
"I'd like a cheeseburger, but I'm going out to dinner with Harry. Come with us." Mj offered
"No, thanks. I don't think it's a good idea to be around Osbornes at the moment." Naruto said
"Why?" Mj asked
"Tell you about it some other time." Naruto said waving down a cab, before he opened the door for Mj, who smiled but Naruto felt a single at the back of his head that he's been feeling since he was bit by that spider and he began to wildly look around and his eyes widened seeing the missile headed for them
"Run!" Naruto yelled at Mj as he opened the door to the taxi and yanked the driver out pushing him and Mj away as the missile struck the taxi and it exploded sending everyone running while Mj and the taxi driver flew back
Mj groaned before her eyes widened she saw Naruto a bit aways from her, "Naruto!" she screamed getting up and running over but she was grabbed by her jacket as Goblin cackled,
"Hello again, my dear!" Goblin greeted as Mj screamed in fear, "Let's have a chat, shall we?!"
Naruto groaned as his ears rung watching as the Goblin made off with Mj, before he stood up shaking his head, before he ran to the driver who had a broken arm, and made sure that he was alright, before glaring in the direction of the Goblin
Queensboro Bridge
Mj woke up dazed before her eyes widened when she remembered what happened and quickly got up but oaised and observed her surroundings,
Horrified Mj saw that she was atop of the bridge and tries to look for a way down, but quickly ducked when the Goblin on his glider almost took her head off before he made his way to a Roosevelt Island Tram car full of children alongside the bridge and cackled heading away
"The little trickster fox.
Went up the water spout
Down came the goblin
And took the fox right out"
Goblin sang as he fired a missile at the controls of the tram car causing it to explode and the tram car to fall but he caught the cable
Kitsune landed on a building and narrowed his eyes looking at the chaos Goblin was creating and with a growl he pushed off the building and landed atop of the bridge as Goblin held Mj over the edge, while also holding the cable that held the children over the river
"Kitsune! This is why only fools are heroes. Because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice: Let die the innocent woman you saved before or suffer the little children."
The kids screamed for Kitsune to save them, "Make your choice, and see how a hero is rewarded." Goblin said as Kitsune glared, "We are who we choose to be. Now, choose!"
"No!" Kitsune yelled as Goblin released Mj and the cable, quickly Kitaune ran for Mj and jumped after her, before he placed his hands in a cross, "Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"
Clouds of smoke appeared behind Kitsune as he dove and caught Mj as clones appeared and grabbed each others ankles while the last one used chakra to stick his feet to the bridge as Kitsune caught the cable
"What?!" Goblin yelled seeing the clones before in frustration he walked to his glider
Kitsune was trying to figure out what to do with the tram car when a voice shouted "Ahoy up there! We're gonna bring the barge right under you." a man said into the megaphone
Kitsune and Mj looked up when the glider took off, "He's coming back!"
"I need you to climb down before he gets here." Kitsune said getting a nod from Mj who climbed to tbe cable and began to shimmy down to the tram car
The Goblin headed for Kitsune who looked at him and as Goblin was about to punch Kitsune, the masked vigilante spat a large fireball at him
Goblin quickly dodged the fire ball and cackled, "Your just full of surprises, aren't you!?"
Goblin turned around and headed for Kitsune again with a grenade in hand but a oipe hit his hand causing him to drop it before he looked up to see the civilians tossing objects at him
"Come on up here dumb goblin!" a woman yelled tossing a wrench at Goblin, "We're gonna kick your freaking ass!"
"I got a little something for ya." a man yelled tossing a tire iron, "Leave Kitsune alone. You gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?"
"Oh I got something for your ass!" a dread-head yelled tossing an tire iron, "You mess with Kitsune, you mess with New York!"
"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!" the man yelled as they gave Kitsune enough time to let the tram car onto the barge and cheered
Kitsune growled and soon as he released the cable the clone with his soles stuck to the bridge whipped the clones around sending Kitsune at Goblin who scored a mean hook that sent Goblin flying off his glider which was sliced in half by a blade of wind
Goblin was sent crashing into an abandoned building on the edge of the river as Kitsune landed on the surface of river and stood up looking at the house before he leaned forward and blurred forward kicking up a large blast water as he did
Goblin exited the house just as Kitsune appeared on land and immediately he tossed a grenade at Kitsune who caught the orb allowing it to explode in his hand, and unmarked skin was left behind
"Huh?" Goblin asked before Kitsune appeared below him and kicked him in the chin, sending him into the air,
Kitsune appeared beneath Goblin and was about to wrap his arms around Goblin but to his surprise chains of chakra burst from his back and wrapped around Goblin, before Kitsune grabbed onto the thick cacoon of chains and spun at a high speed before he slammed Goblin into the ground causing an large explosion to occur
Kitsune landed a bit away and waited for the dust to settle and his eyes narrowed when it did, a large crater was in the ground on the shoreline with a cracked green helmet being all that was left behind
Walking forward and picking it up Kitsune frowned in annoyance, but he heard cheering and looked up to see the people on the bridge cheering for him
OsCorp
Conners was videotaping himself as he was prepared to use the equation he got from Naruto, as he focused on the hologram, "What you see here is a computer model of lizard. Many of these wonderful creatures are so brilliantly adaptive that they can regenerate entire limbs at will. You can imagine my envy. We're trying to harness this capability in transferring into our host subject, Freddie, the three-legged mouse. I will enter the algorithm now."
Conner's entered the equation, "Preempt the protein. Preempt the immune response."
After several failed attempts for the mouse to regrow a limb, the computer finally declares the regeneration has been successful and the mouse has regrown a limb, Conner's smiled at the hologram that read successful, "Extraordinary."
Finished
