While Connor is speaking, Anthony casually moves his hand down to his pants pocket. "That's good advice, Mr. Stark. I'll be sure to remember that." And with that, his hand moves toward Connor's neck in a flash. After the hypodermic needle, held in Anthony's hand, was expertly placed in the side of Connor's neck, Anthony presses the plunger, releasing a small amount of Ben's venom into Connor's bloodstream. As paralysis sets in, Anthony slides from underneath Connor and says, "Remember your promise, no hard feelings. Also, don't worry about the fact that you can't move your limbs. The amount was so small that the effects will only last a few minutes." Anthony draws on the strength training that John had been giving him, and hoists Connor onto his shoulder. After depositing Connor at a desk in the classroom, Anthony fetches his clothes and gets dressed once again. He then returns to his seat next to Sue, keeping the deep satisfaction he felt hidden behind a mask of nonchalance.
