(Peter: POV)
Waiting to give my statement to the police, who were now at the coffee shop in full force, since the moment Harry was taken away by his kidnappers almost everyone in the coffee shop dialed 911, I started plotting my rescue of Harry from his kidnappers.
The Inner Demons, led by none other than the criminal Mister Negative.
Meaning his origin story is likely the same as it was in the Insomniac Spiderman game. The man having gained his powers from illegal genetic experimentation performed on him by Oscorp Industries and Norman Osborn himself. Leading Negative to seek revenge.
Unlike in the comics in when he gained his powers from the designer Drug D-Lite.
Which means the superhero team Cloak & Dagger likely won't be created from their comic origins either.
Especially since the Roxxon Energy Corporation exists in this reality.
The same for Forest Hill High School which Felicia mentioned earlier.
Which is the same school Tyrone Johnson, also known as Cloak was student council president of in the ultimate comics.
However unlike in the ultimate comics Tandy Bowen, also known as Dagger doesn't go to Midtown like she did in the Ultimate Universe.
Either way, where there's Cloak there's Dagger and vice versa.
So that means I'll be keeping an eye out for the superhero duo/couple.
But I can focus more on them later.
Right now I need to get Harry back safely and kick Mister Negative ass, while also bringing down the Inner Demons now to make sure they don't become as much of a threat as they did in the Insomniac game.
'Looks like I got my work cut out ahead of me.' I thought.
Just as I did a police car pulled up and then put came none other than captain George Stacy. Who ran right up to Gwen and secured her in a tight and loving huge.
"Gwen, oh I'm so glad your safe." George said.
"Yeah, I am dad. But the man who attacked the coffee shop..they...they took Harry dad." Gwen cried.
"It's okay honey. It's okay." George said. "We'll get your friend back."
"Yeah Gwen, I'm sure everything will be just fine." I spoke. Especially because I was going to make sure it was using my own hands.
"Yeah Gwen. I'm sure Harry will be back safe and sound and making corny jokes with us again soon." Ned added.
"I don't really know Harry yet, but I agree with Ned and Peter." Felicia said.
"Ah, thanks guys." Gwen said. Giving us a small smile.
Meanwhile captain Stacy gave all of us a once over with his gaze. "I take it these are your friends?"
"Yeah, they are. Guys meet my dad. George Stacy. Dad meet my friends. Ned Leeds, Peter Parker, and a new transfer student to our school, Felicia Hardy." Gwen explained. Introducing us to each other.
"Nice to meet you sir. Though I wish it were under better circumstances." I said.
"Likewise son. Likewise." George said. "So, have you kids given your statement yet?"
"None of us have." I replied.
"Then we'll fix that right now." George spoke.
Watanabe, Morales, front and center!" George shouted.
When he did both Yuri Watanabe and Jefferson Morales of all people walked over to us.
As they did I had to resist the urge to smirk with all my might.
For it seems the universe is pushing together wtih police officers heavily resulted to Spiderman today.
"Yes, captain?" Jefferson asked.
"I need you to take the statements of my daughter and her friends. Then make sure all of them get home okay." George ordered.
"Understood sir." Yuri replied.
She then turned her gaze to us. "Hello there kids. My name is sergeant Yuri Watanabe and the person standing beside me is my partner, sergeant Jefferson Morales." She explained.
'Oh wow. So Yuri and Jefferson are partners in this reality.' I thought.
"You all are friends with the victim and the closest to him when he was taken, correct?" Jefferson asked.
We all nodded.
After we did the duo took our statements, and then after we were done each of us was placed on a squad car and taken home.
Where the moment I arrived at mine May burst out the front door and enveloped me in a tight hug.
Understandable.
Given I contacted her and Ben on my way home and explained what had transpired earlier with the help of the police.
"Peter. I'm so glad you're okay!"
"Yeah. I'm fine May. But Harry's not." I said.
When I did May pulled back and then patted my shoulders gently. "It'll be okay son. Harry's going to be fine."
"Your aunt May is right Peter." Ben spoke. Walking down the steps. "Just believe and everything will be okay." He said.
"Don't worry. I am." I said.
Yes, I'm believing in myself.
After giving me a few more words of encouragement we headed inside.
I then went straight to my room, telling Ben and May I was tired from all that had happened earlier.
After getting inside I used magic to create a simple doppelganger that would alert me the moment May or Ben came to check in on me.
With that done I then portal'd to the Spiders Den and summoned my suit.
I then started using a tracking spell to trace Harry's location.
Prepping for my first true super villain face off as the magic did its work.
------------------
(3rd Person: POV)
"Get all our personnel on it! Otherwise what am I paying you for!" Norman Osborn shouted into his office phone, before slamming it down on the receiver.
Having just finished speaking with his head of company security.
Who he had ordered to mobilize all resources to locate Harry.
'My son! Kidnapped! Norman thought angrily.
He had no delusions he was a perfect man. Hell, Norman Osborn knew he slightly bad. But men like him didn't get to be in his position without dirtying their hands a little.
However not once had he ever involved Harry or Emily in his nastier affairs.
But now someone else had.
And Norman promised himself that as soon as he knew who that someone was they were going to pay dearly.
No sooner after Norman thought this than his cellphone rang.
But with his son missing, and his wife so distraught over it she has to be injected with a sedative to calm down, he ignored the call.
Only for his phone to immediately start ringing again.
"Oh for the love of-" Norman shouted. He then reached for his cellphone and answered it. "What!?" He shouted.
"Now, now, Norman. Is that anyway to talk to the man who has your son?" A distorted male voice replied from the other end of the call.
"Listen whoever you are, today is not-" Norman began.
"Dad!"
Only to stop when he heard Harry voice.
"Harry, is that you son? Harry!" Norman shouted in worry.
"Dad. Please help me. These guys took me from the coffee shop where I was at with Peter and the other! Please dad, I want-" Harry spoke. Until he was cut off.
"Harry! Harry!" Norman shouted. Only to get no response from his son.
"Well, I hope now you know you can take me seriously." The distorted voice said after Norman stopped shouting.
"Listen well whoever you are, if-"
"-No, Norman you listen." The voice interrupted. "I think you're forgetting. I am the one in control here. Not you. So listen and listen well. Don't bother trying to trace this call. It'll do you no good. Also, no more police. Reject any and all of their help. Because if my people, and yes I have people watching you, see even a hint of a blue uniform assisting you, then you'll have your son returned to you piece by piece. Now, how would your lovely wife feel about that I wonder? Having her precious baby boy mailed to her in boxes?"
Hearing the voice speak Norman gripped his phone so right his knuckles began to turn white. "Do not-"
"-Norman, what did I just say? Hm?" The voice interrupted again, this time with a threatening undertone. "If you can't follow simple orders then perhaps you require a demonstration? A finger or a toe, you pick."
"No!"' Norman shouted. "Please. Don't hurt my son. I beg you. I'll do what you say."
"Yes, you will." The voice replied. "So listen and listen good. I'm about to text you an account number. It is where you will transter one billion dollars. Once I have confirmed the transfer I will text you a location where you can retrieve your son. It is also where you will bring me a sample of your GR-27." The voice explained.
Norman feeling a small chill race down his spine at the mention of GR-27.
For it was a secret project Norman had started using his company funds, in the hopes of a creating a cure of the genetic disease his wife and son suffered from.
But the project didn't end well and thus was scrapped. Yet this person he was speaking to knew of it.
"How do you-"
"-You don't need to know that Norman." The voice interrupted him yet again. "Just get down what I want and you and your wife won't have to put your child back together like a puzzle for a funeral. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." Norman gritted out.
"Good." The voice replied. "And remember no police. Also none of your corporate security thugs either. Do this alone or your boy dies. Try and trick me and your boy dies. Actually, do a single thing I don't like and your son dies. I hope the message has been made clear enough Osborn." The man said.
He then hung up the call.
Immediately after he did Norman received a text within account information.
Looking at it he couldn't help but feel utterly frustrated.
Yet he already knew what he was going to do.
Getting up out of his seat Norman left his office, in order to get his son back.
------------------
As the call ended the man on the other end of the line, couldn't stop a smirk from forming on his face.
The man in question having a unique appearance.
He was dressed in a pure white suit with pure white shoes to match, and he also spotted pure white hair and eyes. Though his skin was completely black in color.
The name of this man is Martin Li, also known as Mister Negative.
[Insert Image of Martin Li/Mister Negative Here]
The leader of the Inner Demons and the one who had Harry kidnapped.
Leading back in the chair he was currently sitting in Li clasped his fingers together. "I wonder Norman, will you come through for your son or not? Either way is fine with me. Because no matter what you'll end up getting exactly what you deserve." He spoke. A shape edge in his voice.
--------------------
While Li basked in his glow of victory Peter was on the move.
Having finished his preparations for his face off with Li and the Inner Demons, and his tracking spell having located Harry, he steeled his resolve.
"Alright. Go time." Peter muttered.
He then opened a portal near where the tracking spell he used to find Harry pinpointed his location and stepped through it.
After which he immediately closed the portal behind him, before taking in his surroundings.
Which was a roof on a warehouse by the docks.
'Well in the game Li did make his fortune in shopping so I guess it makes sense his base of operations would be the docks.' Peter thought.
Oh and speaking of Li Peter wondered if his powers would be in line with the Insomniac game, the comics, or a combination of both.
But even if none of this is true he's staying on his toes. Considering Li is connected to both the Lightforce and Darkforce dimensions. Both of which are deadly on their own. But together they are even more formidable.
Still Peter isn't going to let that stop him from rescuing his best friend.
So with that in mind he started moving across the rooftops of the dock warehouses, until eventually he found the one being used as a base by Li and his Inner Demons.
Stopping, Peter surveyed it from afar. Finding all entry points and even the windows guarded by armed thugs.
But for him this was no issue.
Casting an invisiblility spell Peter's form disappeared from normal sight.
Once this happened he jumped onto the roof of the Inner Demons base and then began and then crawled through a open window he found on the warehouses second floor.
Where two Inner Demons were taking a smoke break.
After entering the building Peter scaled up for the ceiling and looked around, hoping Li and his goons would be dumb enough to have Harry out and in the open.
Unfortunately for Peter they weren't.
Seeing no sign of his friend he started moving across the road until he managed to get down to the floor.
Once this happened Peter then began moving through the warehouse.
Taking note of how the Inner Demons moved, all while he searched Harry.
Eventually finding his friend unconscious in a back room.
Where thankfully no guards were watching him.
Then again considering how tight the security Li put in place is Peter understood why he had no one assigned to personally watch over Harry.
Li also probably thought no one would be able to get past his security.
Too bad for him Peter wasn't just anybody.
Gently closing the door behind him Peter then cast a spell to make sure there were no recording or listening devices in place inside of the room.
When his spell gave him the all clear he moved over to Harry and checked on his friends condition.
Where other than a few bruises he seemed perfectly fine.
Seeing this Peter breathed a quick sigh of relief.
He then opened up a portal and moved through it with Harry. Bringing his friend to a vacant office building he had discovered during one of his nightly patrols a while ago.
After this Peter cast a quick spell on Harry to make sure he didn't wake up for a while longer.
At least until Peter finishes dealing with Li and his men.
"You'll be safe here friend." Peter told Harry.
He then stepped back through the portal and closed it shut.
After which he began cracking his neck from side-to-side.
For he was about too take out the trash.
