Lexi was nodding along with what Peter was saying before Harry dropped a very unexpected bombshell on the couple. Her jaw dropped open in surprise and she jumped to her feet dropping the book onto the coffee table, the thud echoing throughout the silent house before Harry began to speak again. The idea of Doctor Octavius working on finding something within Spider-Man’s (Peter’s) blood to cure Harry’s disease made her stomach turn. She didn’t like the idea of someone having Peter’s blood… but she didn’t like the idea of Harry dying either.

“Kinda I mean, he just shows up.” She said softly, her gaze moving to Peter as the two men began to talk. She watched Peter pace back and forth; he was probably weighing his options much like she was. The death of their friend or the discovery of Spider-Man… it was an uncomfortable stomach turning situation and when Peter said that he would tell Spider-Man the next time he got the chance, her knotted stomach grew tighter, oh this wasn’t good. Placing her hand over her mouth she swallowed back a sob as Harry left the house.

Slowly, she walked over to Peter and gave a small sigh as she let her hand fall off of her face and land on her lap. She than reached over and took Peter’s large hands in hers, her eyes were watering due to the situation at hand but she took a deep breath and began to speak. “Peter,” She began softly, “I think you should talk to Mister Osborne about doing a meeting with Doctor Octavius. Don’t mention to Mister Osborne that you know of this, but talk to the Doctor about it. Find out exactly what he intends on doing with your blood.” She gave Peter’s hands a squeeze, “I know you want to do what’s right, especially when it comes to helping Harry but you have to keep in mind the risk you’d be taking. If Doctor Octavius gives any, [i]any[/i] sort of sign that he might use your blood for something other than helping Harry; you can’t do it.” She took in a deep breath before continuing. “To many people rely on Spider-Man and not only will Aunt May and I be at risk if anyone discovers that you’re you but you’d put yourself at risk. And if Harry does survive he’ll be at risk because he’s your friend.” Her eyes went wide. “Oh my god if they caught you, Spider-Man or Peter, and started doing experiments on you…” Her eyes watered again, her face cringing and her right hand left his covering her mouth to keep herself from sobbing at the thought of Peter getting tortured for genetic experiments. Hopefully she got her point across even though she had small streams of tears going down her face. This… this was a lot in one day.
