(14th September 2004)
"Everyone, we will be going to Oscorp Bio-research centre today-"
I sighed as this moment finally arrived.
17 years ago, I was reincarnated into the world of Marvel after getting hit by Truck-kun while I was lost in the nostalgia of classic Spider-Man after having just watched No Way Home.
And when I opened my eyes, I saw Norman Osborn looking at me with love.
I cried a lot due to the cursed scene.
Soon, I came to realise that I was reincarnated as Harry Osborn, the 'friend' of Peter Parker.
And from what I know until now, this universe is a weird mix of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man, and MCU.
I, Peter, MJ, father, and Dr Octopus look like Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, while Gwen looks like Amazing Spider-Man one, and there are people like Tony Stark who look like MCU.
I just hope that this universe doesn't have mutant or some shit.
As Harry, I never had any shortage of money in this life. Yet, I used my pocket money, which is a lot more than normal people's salary, to open Harry Investment Firm and became an angel investor for companies like Amazon and Google, having 20% ownership in each of the two companies, while also investing significantly in Apple, Microsoft, SpaceX and Tesla.
It is 2002, and Google has started taking off, making me worth around 5 billions.
Yet, I was largely ignored by father, because I didn't really had a knack for any sort of science. I performed well in the school initially due to my mature mind while compared to the little kids, but now that I am in High School, I get around B grades in the science subjects, A in economics, and C in useless subjects like history.
I don't do drugs or drink alcohol like OG Harry, and have a sane and healthy mind. Still... father has been showing signs of deterioration of health, and is possibly researching on the Goblin Serum.
As for myself, I don't see any signs of illness for now, but knowing that it is genetic, I will have to think of something soon.
I have decided that I won't get bitten by the radioactive spider. What if I sprout extra limbs from my back? What if I get overtaken by the spider instead? And Spideys are never lucky.
I have gotten a hold of Maya Hansen to join Harry Hospital under me, and am funding the Extremis research. And perhaps even without Tony Stark's help, Peter and Gwen can complete it?
Maybe it will cure both father and my genetic illness that will start to show later in my life.
I had watched the movies in my previous life, but was not a nerd who would remember the address of Kamar Taj.
Well... some sort of magic might be a better option for me than injecting some drug with the risk of going insane or turning into a lizard.
If nothing, I will get the symbiote. An insane and angry Eddie Brock was able to cope, so I sure will be able to. And I have all the money in the world for chocolates.
"What are you thinking so deeply about?"
Gwen asked me as she sat beside me on the bus. I have just met her some months ago in High School, and we hit it off great with her future aspirations to work in Oscorp, and she has been studying under Maya Hansen who is my employee.
"About a new project, and how to convince Peter to stop simping for the gold digger and join the project as the technical assistant head."
I looked at MJ who was sitting with Flash, the infamous bully. He hasn't been able to do anything to Peter because of me, but he does target others. Yet, she is his girlfriend knowingly.
Yeah. As if it isn't a gold digger behaviour. I don't understand why Peter and so many people were crazy after that bitch in the movies. She gave Peter more trauma than all villains combined.
Despite having his landlord's daughter showing obvious signs to him, he simps for MJ.
No wonder so many people go through terrible divorces and have to pay child support despite the wife cheating.
Comic MJ may be different, well, I have never read the comics, but this MJ is definitely a bitch. She was even trying to flirt with me first before Flash.
And the future Spider-Man and my money maker is simping for her.
Gwen looked at her with a complicated expression. Afterall, both are in the same band. And Gwen doesn't want to have a fight with her.
Thinking about it, there is a possibility of Gwen getting bitten as well, since I have heard about Spidergwen and some stuff about an issue of comic, where MJ Carnage is trying to kill Gwenom because she apparently always skipped the band practice and stuff.
I have to make sure that symbiote doesn't spread to crazy people, especially people like MJ.
Well... whatever the Spidey is will become clear today.
I won't interfere with fate and stuff, and just try to protect both Gwen and Peter regardless with my money and making sure that villains don't come out of Oscorp constantly.
"Wait!"
I heard Peter's voice from outside the moving bus.
"Driver! Stop the bus for a moment!"
As I shouted, the bus stopped, and Peter got in while panting.
"I won't give you attendance today, Peter!"
"Sorry!"
The teacher yelled at him, threatened with attendance, and Peter entered the bus after apologizing.
"Peter, come here!"
As Peter came and sat on the seat I have been keeping for him, Gwen looked a bit displeased for some reason.
Did she want to sit with me alone?
Well, that's quite possible.
The bus started again, and we started talking about random stuff.
"Peter, clear your schedule in the evening. Come to my house and we will discuss the plans."
I plan to create a separate tech company. Since I already have a 20% ownership in both Amazon and Google, and with Peter, I should be able to create a smartphone.
Oscorp will be riddled with scandals after scandals. The board of directors are probably thinking of selling the company to the competitors, and mainly, it is too riddled with military, SHIELD, and by large, HYDRA.
Just being a billionaire isn't enough in this world.
For research, and to keep myself and the people I care about safe, I will need a lot of money. Afterall, money is a superpower.
Just investing money in companies that were successful in my previous world won't work. What if after Stark Industries shift focus from weapons to tech, and the companies that I invested in go bankrupt due to competition?
"Alright class! We have arrived!"
As the teacher announced, we got off from the bus, and at the same time, father arrived in his limo.
I live alone instead of living with him. What if he might go insane one day and kill me? And my father is actually not really a good person. While not being outright evil, he is a arms manufacturer, and has been conducting human experiments behind the scenes.
It's best to not involve myself too deeply with him.
"Yo, Dad."
"Don't 'Yo' me. I heard that you barely passed in your surprise quiz yesterday?"
He grumbled at me, and returned the greeting of Gwen and Peter while smiling.
"Dad, this is Peter, and this is Gwen. My friends. They are geniuses in science-"
"Then why aren't you? Just throwing money at some companies and getting lucky won't bring you much far. Come join Oscorp to get atleast some management experience. You must have a solid base bla bla bla."
He started lecturing me, probably taking out his frustration of his worsening health, and preparing me to take over Oscorp just in case his experiments fail and he passes away.
And judging by him not taking much interest in Gwen and Peter, he must already know about them. Afterall, I am not a complete douche like the og Harry, so he still cares about who I associate with.
"Dad. I am starting a real company soon with Peter and Gwen. After I show you the prototype of a real product, that I will have a significant hand in, please be the first investor personally and give your reviews."
Dad is someone who is the main scientist of the company, and does a lot of things himself. While all I have done is throw money at the startups and Google has been showing results, and I don't interfere much in their work despite holding a very significant part of the company.
He expects a lot from me, and maybe that's why he is disappointed too.
"... Alright. I will go first then."
After glancing at both Peter and Gwen again, he left.
"Alright. Let's go to inside too."
We sighed and entered the research centre.
And Peter took out a camera, and was looking for MJ.
This guy...
"Peter, no cameras allowed here."
"Huh!? But I asked the teacher yesterday-"
"It's only for the specimens. Not bitches. And you know what, in the evening, bring your landlord's daughter with you too. Tell her that I want to open a restaurant, so have her bring samples of her cooking for us."
"Huh? Alright."
I have to somehow tie down Peter with Ursula, or else he will ruin his life simping over a bitch.
I looked at Gwen, telling her about my intentions with my eyes.
She nodded, signifying that she understood my intentions.
As we talked and went through the specimens, with Peter snapping pictures, and Gwen closely studying the patterns of the spiders, I noticed one of the glass container missing a spider. And the CCTV in the room was not ON.
Afterall, this research facility is going to be closed, deeming the research done here useless.
I wonder who the Spider will bite, Peter or Gwen-
"Harry!"
Gwen suddenly shouted at me. I felt a sting, and she slapped my hand, where something bit me, and then, shouted "Ouch!", before stomping at the spider that bit us.
Oh no. Can this get any more cliched!?
