Normie sat in his room loudly tapping away at his computer. He heard the sound of his window opening slowly and frowned, but continued tapping. His ears had pricked up and he was following the telltale sounds of May's pattern of sneaking up on him. She was powerful and stealthy, but she was still too young to appreciate that people learned from her mistakes. The notorious *Fwip* As she attached her web to the ceiling and slowly lowered behind him.

[color=6ecff6]"Hi May"[/color] He said, not breaking his stride.

[color=f6989d]"NO FAIR!!!"[/color] She cried [color=f6989d]"YOU ALWAYS KNOW I'M HERE!!!"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"You've got your Spider-Senses, i have my own super senses"[/color] He smiled a little, continuing to tap away at the computer.

[color=f6989d]"Whatcha doin'? Lookin' up weird video's of Daddy and Elsa?"[/color] She asked, cocking her head to the side. She didn't particularly understand what the absolute monolithic line of code. [color=f6989d]"Or are you watching The Matrix?"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"You wouldn't understand even if i told you"[/color] Normie sighed.

[color=f6989d]"I'm not dumb!"[/color] She punched him in the shoulder. Probably a little harder than she was supposed to, since she knocked him off the chair, but quickly shot a web with her other arm to grab him before he hit the floor and pulled them back onto his feet. [color=f6989d]"I'm REALLY sorry, don't tell Mommy!"[/color] She begged. Normie stared her in the eyes for a long minute. [color=f6989d]"DON'T!!!"[/color] She yelled. He then shook his head before starting to tap away at the keys again.

[color=6ecff6]"I'm writing a combination Keylogger algorithm and trojan program to sneak into the backdoor of a company."[/color] He sighed. May spent a few minutes going over what he just said in her head.

[color=f6989d]"So, you're making a Ninja Horse?"[/color] She asked. Normie doubled over laughing at this response.

[color=6ecff6]"Yeah, i'm writing a ninja horse."[/color] He laughed. She sat staring at it

[color=f6989d]"Computers are WAY cooler than i thought..."[/color] She said, her mind clearly blown away by this information. The lines of code that he was writing suddenly started going nuts as the algorithm started its work on cracking into the system he was looking at. [color=f6989d]"So, which company are you hacking into? I heard that Burger King has this gold card that gives you UNLIMITED burgers."[/color] She giggled. [color=f6989d]"But that's illegal and then daddy'll have to beat you up"[/color] She said.

[color=6ecff6]"I'm not going for Burgers... I've got something a little better in mind."[/color] He replied. It was at that point that Oscorps logo popped up onscreen. [color=6ecff6]"And i... am... in..."[/color] As he finished typing. He then saw a mass of files pop up in front of him and he smiled. [color=6ecff6]"Now, time to get what i need..."[/color] He started to search the files, but quickly found a problem. [color=6ecff6]"No..."[/color] He said with a worried look on his face. [color=6ecff6]"No this can't be right... I'm in... I'm on the server, this is where the documents should be."[/color] He rubbed his face.

[color=f6989d]"Out of the way dummy"[/color] May said, dropping down and [color=f6989d]"I've got an idea"[/color] She grabbed the mouse from him and clicked the search bar before typing 'files that normie wants' getting no responses [color=f6989d]"Wow, this security has to be like... at least 7 times better than daddys."[/color] Normie shoved her out of the way before starting to check his coding.

[color=6ecff6]"It's... It's correct, not a single number of asterisk out of place..."[/color] At that point, the window closed and a new one opened. It was a video call prompt with an accept or reject button. It rang once, then twice. Normie looked at May-Day. [color=6ecff6]"Stay down, let me do the talking. Do NOT say ANYTHING under any circumstances."[/color] She quickly webbed up to the ceiling and lay flat on it. Normie cautiously pressed the accept button. At that point, the unmistakable face popped up.

[color=8dc73f]"Greetings Normie... My god you look just like your father."[/color] Norman Osborn sat on his sofa in his house, sipping whiskey, he was wearing his white shirt without a tie and the top button undone, his black trousers and solid gold wrist watch being the only other visible clothing. [color=8dc73f]"I'm very glad you decided to try and do this. I had a feeling. As for how i knew what your trojan would look like? Oh, i tracked a few of these some time ago, turns out it was your father trying to keep tabs on me. I knew he would teach you his hacking skills."[/color] Norman smiled. [color=8dc73f]"In all seriousness, i am very glad to meet you. Your father sent me a few baby pictures, but he kept you well hidden."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"You killed my father. Don't try to get all jolly old grandpa with me."[/color] Normie replied. Norman continued to smile, but shifted, Normie could tell he had hit a nerve. Norman took a swig of his whiskey and clearly tried to re-rail his train of thought after Normie's blitz attack on his act.

[color=8dc73f]"He was your father, but he was my son and i knew him FAR longer than you did. It wasn't ME who killed him, it was that Spider-Freak. But you didn't come hacking into Oscorp files to try and find out little things like that, did you?"[/color] Norman replied. [color=8dc73f]"Tell Grampy what you're looking for and i'm sure i can get it for you. I'm an open book."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"Pity i can't tear out the pages."[/color] Normie replied. Norman laughed.

[color=8dc73f]"Ah, dad taught you the Osborn wit very well. Yes, i have seen that defiant look FAR too many times in his youth. When he stole cookies from the jar, when he set fire to the rug, when he told me he was running away."[/color] Norman pointed at him with the hand he was using to hold the glass of whiskey. [color=8dc73f]"My son, your father, lives in you."[/color] He smiled.

[color=6ecff6]"Spare me the Lion King speech, tell me what you want?"[/color] Normie demanded. Norman laughed again.

[color=8dc73f]"Amazing, you ignore my ask for what you want and try to turn it back on me, but let's be fair, you were the one that came to MY files. And whatever it is that you want, i'm more than happy to give it to you, but i need to know what that something is."[/color] He leaned back on his sofa, his thumb hooking comfortably into his trouser pocket to give a reserved, relaxed posture.

[color=6ecff6]"No, you're the one who lured me in, you wanted this, so you tell me what you want? If it was just about the files, you would have left them for me to find."[/color] Normie pointed out.

[color=8dc73f]"Frankly, i wanted a conversation with my favourite grandson."[/color] He smiled. [color=8dc73f]"Is it so unbelievable that i actually want to talk to you and get to know you?"[/color] Normie simply stared at him without moving. Norman finally relented. [color=8dc73f]"Alright, you got me. I wanted you to know that i'm here for you. And i wanted you to know that it specifically was me that was giving you the info. No strings attached, i just want you to know you always have family at Oscorp."[/color] Normie could tell that Norman was still hiding his main objective, but he did believe that part of this was some kind of trust building exercise. Trying to build some kind of give and take rapport. Well, if he was giving, then it was time for Normie to take.

[color=6ecff6]"I am looking for the files on Oscorps old battle-suit technology... I..."[/color] Normie began, at that point he saw the only genuine look of concern on Norman's face he had seen all night.

[color=8dc73f]"Your dad told me about the complications."[/color] Norman replied. [color=8dc73f]"I'll have a few blueprints sent over to you immediately, the leg servo's in that wouldn't be too difficult to adapt to help you walk better."[/color] He tapped away at his keyboard for a second, before pressing send and a popup appeared, indicatng that he had received an email. This also tipped a bit of Normans hand that he was spying on Normie, knowing his email address without any prompts. [color=8dc73f]"Anything else?"[/color] Norman asked with a smile.

[color=6ecff6]"Do... You mind if i add you on Facespace?"[/color] He asked.

[color=8dc73f]"By all means. If you need ANYTHING from me, please, message me. I'm not a monster, no matter what... Uncle Peter would have you believe."[/color] Norman replied, before closing the chat.

[color=f6989d]"WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!?"[/color] May-Day yelled the moment Norman hung up. [color=f6989d]"First you're all 'You killed my daddy, granddaddy!'"[/color] She said in a gruff voice. [color=f6989d]"Then you're all 'I love you grampy!'"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"You ever heard the phrase 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?'"[/color] He asked.

[color=f6989d]"No, because it's stupid, why keep people you hate close to you? I'd take you over your stinky grandpa any day."[/color] She proudly said. [color=f6989d]"Wait, we gotta tell Mommy."[/color] She said, realizing exactly what happened.

[color=6ecff6]"Tell her and i'll tell her you pushed me."[/color] Normie threatened. He saw the gears turn in May's head as she tried to figure out what to do. She clearly wanted to tell MJ about what had happened, but she REALLY didn't want to get punished for punching him.

[color=f6989d]"Fine, i'll keep your secret, just like Daddy being Spider-Man."[/color] She sighed.

[color=6ecff6]"Thanks."[/color] Normie replied, before opening up the attached document. There was a few designs for robotic support suits... But then there was another one. Originally, Normie had been going in there to get information about something else, but he didn't want to tip his hand too much to Norman, hopefully getting something small now and opening the way to slice back in for the thing he ACTUALLY wanted later... But looks like Norman was a step ahead of him... "Goblin-Formula-research.zip"
