[color=6ecff6]"Peter, dear boy, with all due respect, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!"[/color] Otto shouted at him. In the room was Peter, MJ, Michael and Otto, only the ones who were in on the secret of Spider-Man's identity.

[color=ed1c24]"I just wanted to get a feel for where everyone stands."[/color] Peter replied.

[color=6ecff6]"Peter, I could have told you that."[/color] He sighed, a robotic tentacle reaching up to rub the bridge of his nose. [color=6ecff6]"Now you've put Max and Adrien on the defensive not to mention how i am now going to have to pretend i'm still bitter about it so i can keep my credit with the other bad guys."[/color]

[color=92278f]"I don't think your street cred is the most important thing right now."[/color] Michael sighed.

[color=f49ac2]"Ok, well, i'm hearing complains, let's hear solutions?"[/color] MJ replied. [color=f49ac2]"Scorpion gave us an unequivacle NO, but that's probably because of his deal with the state tying him to Oscorp rather than any actual loyalty to Norman. So, who else we got contact info for?"[/color]

[color=92278f]"I know a guy who knows a guy who could get us in contact with Chameleon, but-."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Max hates him almost as much as Peter and I trust that guy as far as i could throw you."[/color] MJ smiled sarcastically. [color=f49ac2]"Hard veto on Chameleon."[/color] Peter put his hands up as a show of submission.

[color=ed1c24]"Ok, Chameleon's off the table. Anyone else?"[/color] He asked. Otto was the one to respond this time.

[color=6ecff6]"I... I'm in contact with Rhino..."[/color] He replied.

[color=ed1c24]"Would have been great to know before."[/color] Peter stated.

[color=6ecff6]"Look, he's in no position to work with us at the moment. He's in constant pain, he's agitated, that suit is starting to cause even more feverous discomfort. If we bring him in, he's not fighting for us, he's getting out of that suit and then paying his debt to society. I never swore a hypocratic oath, i'm not that kind of doctor, but i still believe in a doctor doing no harm to their patients. And anyway, he won't come in, because he knows we'll turn him over to the cops afterwards, but i still feel it's my duty to try and help him out."[/color] Otto sighed, sitting down, his tentacles forming into a supportive chair for him. [color=6ecff6]"My whole reason for doing this is to help mankind and that includes Aleksei."[/color] Peter got up and walked over to Otto, before patting him on the shoulder.

[color=ed1c24]"Hey, never apologize for trying to help people. It's the reason you were the first one i came to with this whole crazy scheme."[/color] He then looked over at Michael [color=ed1c24]"No offense."[/color] Michael smiled a little.

[color=92278f]"Oh really? I assumed you didn't come to me first because you were still mad about the Fisk Foundation Science Fair."[/color] The three men laughed for a second, but MJ rolled her eyes, before snapping her fingers in the air

[color=f49ac2]"Boys, back to the task at hand. So far we have a no on Rhino and Chameleon. Come on, who else?"[/color]

[color=92278f]"Well, to be perfectly honest, during my time on the streets, i specifically tried to hunt down a few... Priority targets for my feeding. Yes, i know we don't kill here, but i need to feed and i thought it would be better to feed off of those that could do the most harm until i could get my blood substitute serums working properly."[/color] He pulled out his Spyder phone and spent about a minute whisking through his own files. [color=92278f]"Here we go."[/color] He brought up the files on the holo projector in the middle of the table. [color=92278f]"Quick run-down on the list."[/color] As he started listing off names, their portraits became front and center in the holograms. [color=92278f]"Herman Schultz, AKA Shocker - Unknown, rumours range everywhere from operating as a mercenary in Madripoor to working for anti-mutant groups right here in NY. Quentin Beck, AKA Mysterio - Unknown, that man has faked his death more times than i care to count, i gave up on him quickly. He'll make himself known exactly when he wants to be. Mister Negative, AKA Martin Li - Operating with the Maggia, Had a few run ins with him, but none ended very well for me. Carnage AKA Cletus Cassedy -"[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"[/color][color=f49ac2]P[/color][color=6ecff6]A[/color][color=ed1c24]S[/color][color=f49ac2]S[/color][color=6ecff6]"[/color] The other three all groaned in unison.

[color=ed1c24]"I hate to say "Beyond redemption" But that guy blew up a bus full of kids and laughed about it on TV. Nope, no, hell-no."[/color] Peter responded. Michael nodded with agreement.

[color=92278f]"Hey, i'm just telling you the info, up to you what you do with it. Anyway. Sergei Dimitri Symostivych Kravinoff, AKA Kraven the Hunter - Currently in Africa working with the Congolese government to hunt down warlords."[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"Good for him."[/color] MJ Smiled.

[color=ed1c24]"Damn, i was kinda hoping for Kraven, good morals, even if he is a sociopath."[/color] Peter sighed.

[color=92278f]"Norman Osborn- we all know about that."[/color] He quickly went to the next slide [color=92278f]"Curtis Connors, AKA The Lizard - Cur"[/color] But Peter butted in before he could continue

[color=ed1c24]"Veto, that guy is only interested in getting close to me and stealing my blood to improve himself."[/color] Peter said with a frown.

[color=92278f]"But he is a doctor of Neogenics, he could help me and Alistair considerably in our-[/color] Michael began, but Peter butted in again.

[color=ed1c24]"VETOED! Next slide!"[/color]

[color=f49ac2]"He gave Pete some pretty big trust issues."[/color] MJ replied.

[color=6ecff6]"Curt was never the same after he lost his arm."[/color] Otto sighed. [color=6ecff6]"Before, i'd have recommended him for our program, but i think The Lizard has gotten too far into his brain.."[/color]

[color=92278f]"Can we continue?"[/color] Michael asked. [color=92278f]"Stop butting in, it annoyed me back at University, it annoys me even more now. Aaron Davis, AKA The Prowler - 2 years into a 12 year stint in Rikers for 7 count of Burglary, 3 counts of Assault with a deadly weapon and 2 counts of resisting arrest."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"Yeah, that guy does not like me, but to be fair to him, i've never seen him go after anyone with lethal intent. Guy just likes to crack safes and knock over rich fat-cats."[/color] Peter said.

[color=f49ac2]"Yeah, but now WE'RE the rich fat-cats."[/color] MJ reminded him.

[color=ed1c24]"Point is, the guy has potential."[/color] Peter concluded.

[color=6ecff6]"Yeah, but what would he even do here, the man is a career burglar. He's not a scientist, he stole all of his super-equipment and bungled it together into a super-villain persona by me and a few others."[/color] Otto asked.

[color=f49ac2]"True-"[/color] MJ retorted, looking at her phone [color=f49ac2]"But he seems to have a head for computers. Hacked his way through most of those fat-cats security systems. Could always hire him to help develop software for the Spyder line, or maybe put him in charge of our Cyber Security."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"I'm with MJ on this one, even if he's not going to be in our Six, i want to give him a chance at Parker Industries nonetheless. I see a guy who can be better than he currently is. Anyone else?"[/color] He asked.

[color=92278f]"I..."[/color] Michael shuffled nervously. [color=92278f]"I also have a contact number for Screwball..."[/color] The picture in the hologram showed Screwball's profile on her social media and the others quickly took note of the page having activated hyperlinks only available to her premium subscribers. The 3 stared at Michael for an uncomfortable minute, before they all responded in unison again.
