5. Silk

Even now, I didn't have anyone from the SHIELD or such trying to contact me.

Today, I decided to sneak into Oscorp again to contact Dr Connors.

Since I have told him that Oscorp is conducting human experiments, he might go too far and get killed.

And well, I am somewhat interested in the Lizard's regeneration.

While I myself don't need that, since stacking powers, especially of different species, may be very risky, getting that ability for my future endeavours will be good. If perfected, I can even get it for my family.

"Dr Connors."

I greeted him in his bathroom as the CIA Agent.

"...uh, hello."

"Did you find anything?"

"...No."

"I heard you made a breakthrough in Lizard's regeneration?"

"Yeah. But I won't do any human experimentation, I swear. I will use it on myself only."

"Prepare an antidote beforehand, in case you turn into a lizard and start trying to turn everyone into a lizard."

"I am not that foolish-"

"There will be DNA changes, right? We humans only have slight DNA difference from Chimps. And that is enough for our intelligence to be so far apart. I believe you shouldn't take risks.

Why don't you get a prosthetic arm instead? I believe Stark Industries' prosthetic is as good as a normal arm?"

This always baffled me. He had just lost an arm. A prosthetic should do the job. Why would he try to take such a dangerous path, injecting lizard genes into himself?

He shook his head.

"I want perfection."

"..."

Well, he is a crazy scientist afterall.

I sighed.

"Well then, I will continue investigation on my own. If you think your drug is good enough, fish out information to see if Oscorp is willing to conduct human experiments on others.

If they are willing, investigate to see if you can find the secret facilities.

And when you are about to use the drug on yourself, prepare an antidote beforehand, and I will contact you in a month. Don't try it without supervision."

Saying that, I left.

As I swung through the city, it was quite peaceful. Well, if you put aside all the traffic and angry people arguing.

After practicing my swinging more, I decided to play cat's cradle on a bridge, to tell the people that my monkier is Silk.

As I shot the webs, starting to write my monkier using them, a car pulled over, and came a reporter.

"Excuse me? Can you please tell us who you are?"

"I am Silk."

"How did you gain your extraordinary abilities?"

"From a spider delicacy I ate in Australia. Taste: 1/10. Looks: (-100)/10. Wouldn't recommend it."

"What is your purpose?"

Purpose? I can't really say protect family here, can I?

"World Peace, I guess?"

Afterall, I am going to take over North Korea after getting Mind Stone. I am not going to stay in USA during the time of Civil War storyline.

That will provide me diplomatic immunity, and free the people of North Korea, so a win-win.

That will also be my base for superpowered people in the future, probably. If there are mutants in this world, I should be able to find them with mind stone.

Before the reporter could ask any more questions, I completed my cat's cradle, and left the scene.

After changing my disguises several times, going through various alleyways and webbing up some criminals along the way to lead the investigation in other direction, I returned home.

As I took a relaxing bath, I thought about what to do when the events of first Avenger movie happens.

It is currently 2011, just some time after the events of Iron-Man 2, which played out exactly like the movie.

So, it's safe to assume that Loki's attack might happen soon.

Both Space and Mind Stone will be in one place.

I am sure that I can survive the radiation from atleast one infinity stone. While obtaining the power of space travel is tempting, I don't want to carry around the Tesseract which Thor will want to take back to Asgard.

Mind Stone, on the other hand, will certainly be able to amplify my Silk Sense, and there is a chance that I will get telepathic powers.

I may not even have to carry around the sceptre.

Then, I will find where Wanda and Pietro are, and they will be good addition to being my subordinates.

Though Wanda may be dangerous, she is powerful. I am sure I will be able to take care of her mental health.

At the very least, she, at her full power, will be a very tough opponent against Thanos.

Thinking about my plans for future, I finished my bath, and started drawing the next chapter of Love is War.

It's popularity has surged as the anime has started coming out.

I am sure the Hollywood and Netflix guys will be after me so that they can create a live-action adaption of it, though there is no way in hell I am allowing that to happen.

They will ruin it.

Instead, I will create a K-drama industry in North Korea so that it can have an image change under me, and get some money.

Anyway, after posting the latest chapter, I started typing an application to the school for early graduation. I was only there for getting powers, and there is nothing left for me to get there.

Ugghhh... I will finally be free from school!

After writing it, I turned on the TV.

"Spider-Man has been beating up people in the alleyways! That menace!"

Well... that person was webbed up by me. And he was trying to sell drugs to kids.

"We have another menace to the society! She vandalised a bridge today, and wrote her name, SILK!"

Wouldn't this bridge become a tourist attraction then?

"She has answered our questions. So, I will directly show you the interview that the Daily Bugle has managed to get before any media house!"

Oh shit. I should have asked that reporter about which channel does she belong to.

I boosted the TRP of the channel which calls me a menace to society.

My interview was just three conversations. I had white hair as usual during my Silk outings, with my face fully covered in a mask.

JJJ heard my short interview, and said, "Does eating a spider delicacy in Australia really grants such power?

No!

Kids, don't try to follow the lead of these deviants, and don't try to eat spiders!

These two freaks are just gymnasts who have gotten hold of some sort of webs.

Anyone who calls spider a delicacy is not in their right mind!"

He kept on babbling, so I just changed the channel to watch some Naruto.

Well, atleast I have given myself the correct name now, Silk.
