Peter smiled at Lexi's words, but how she could possibly think that Peter would have the nerve to dump her at any time! She was sooo out of his league it was ridiculous! She had the brains, the beauty and the personality. Not many people knew Peter's personality... As she left with Peter, he knew this was his moment to interview Doctor Octavius. "A very nice young lady you have, Peter. Don't take love for granted. It can do incredible things... even stupid ones..." He said with a smile. Peter couldn't believe he was talking to him. "Thank you very much, sir... She's being modest... I never really have been a ladies man. We've known each other for a while Can't see my life without her..." He said honestly. The doctor found his comment very sweet, as he gave a nod and smile of approval. 

"Mister Osborne has told me many things about your scientific accomplishments... Is it true that you made your own eco friendly generator in the sixth grade?" He asked him. Peter was smiling wide, not believing that his idol was staring at him with admiration. "yes, sir--"

"Please, mister Parker, its just Otto..."

"er, Otto... I was absolutely fascinated with your research on biological genetics and mutations... I saw Doctor Connors' work before he had his incident..." Doctor Octavius nodded. "Yes, well... He along with your father were very close associates with mine. We worked together on the subject. And between you and me... I have been working on a device that can be controlled by your brain with one little chip...!" He said excitedly. Peter was yet again amazed that the doctor was telling him his secret creation. 

He almost forgot about the questions of his own. "erm... Doctor-- Otto... Harry told me that you are here to work on a cure for his disease... I know i shouldn't really be questioning you, but science is all about questioning things... Do you think that if he really did get Spider-Man's blood, that it could be cured? Because there's a possibility--"

"That Spider-Man's blood will kill him within a matter of seconds, very painfully... unfortunately, yes... But Mister Osborne is very keen on keeping his family alive... and his company... if he were to create this serum, he could save thousands of lives..." He said, although he himself didn't sound too confident. Doctor Octavius then looked up. "You are the first of few people who understand this concept, Peter... I know i shouldn't, but as a favor to your father, and reward for your talents... would you like to help as an intern for me? It would be nice to have company with a man as smart as yourself."

Peter was speechless, although not quite like he was when he saw his beautiful girlfriend walk in to his room a bit ago. Peter nodded quickly, a huge grin on his face... He could help! He could help Harry, and be with his idol! "Yes--Thank you! It is such an honor, sir!" He said, then he realized that he kept bringing up his father... something Peter didn't really like to dwell on since it lead to Uncle Ben's death, and it also left many dead ends for every trail... Maybe he could ask him about it sometime while working--

"Hey, Pete!" Harry said, a hint of what looked like anger showed in his face. "Two geniuses finally getting together! What did i tell you, Doctor? Probably impressed you just by talking."

"Oh yes, Peter seems very intelligent. He'll get high in the science ladder some day. And I will look forward to hear his accomplishments when that day comes." Otto said with a smile. "Now, if you two will excuse me... I'll get a hold of you soon, Peter. Tell you when our first lab can begin. Have fun!" He said, then he was off.

He had to tell Lexi so much more now! Uncle Ben's murderer, Doctor Octavius' thoughts, how he was going to help, and how he might get a chance to save Harry! He looked around the area, scanning for the beautiful dark haired girl, hoping no one was hitting on her...
