Chapter 70: Chapter 068 School fight
Chapter 068
As Peter knew that Dr. Connors already knew his identity, he sped things up in trying to get an antidote for Dr. Connors.
He called Gwen and asked her to go to Dr. Connors lab and access the cross species file to create a gene neutralizer serum.
She did like he requested and soon the antidote was completed. Unlike the movie, they still have a lot of time and because of that, Gwen was able to 'boil' the serum without worrying about a time limit.
As the serum was being made, Peter was worrying a lot about Dr. Connors leaking his identity or harming his uncle and aunt.
His worry was justified but Alex knew that nothing like that would happen.
Around this time, Dr. Connors would be busy preparing a machine that could release toxins all over New York, turning every human into lizard-like creatures.
His next appearance would be on Monday when the school resumes again after the weekend and that was also when Alex was gonna end this all.
That's why, on Monday morning, Alex was fully prepared.
"So, your wolf can envelop your body, right? When it's doing that, can you also shoot out energy balls from your mouth?"
Peter asked, hand on his chin. He had been asking a lot of questions about Alex's powers since he got to know his identity.
Although it was a bit annoying, he didn't mind it as he was just doing it to distract his mind from The Lizard.
"I can't. I mean, I can try to but I don't think I can do that yet."
"That's sad. You would look like a game character if you could do that." Peter said, thinking about a hunter character from an RPG.
"I'm fine without it for now."
"I still don't understand your powers. You have a wolf linked to your soul and a name like Lycan but you can't transform into a werewolf."
Alex chuckled hearing that. Peter was still not over his disappointment after knowing that he can't really turn into a werewolf.
"You got your powers from a spider bite but you can't transform into a real spider or lay eggs, right?"
Alex shook his head while saying that as they walked towards their classroom.
'I need to get everything right today.'
He thought as he reminisced about the scene in which The Lizard will attack Peter in his school. Originally, Gwen Stacy was also present in the school but she was older than Peter in this timeline and hence, he won't have to worry about her safety.
But though she wasn't present in Midtown high, the other characters like Flash, Harry, MJ and Liz Allen were there.
He could only hope that everything would go well today.
"You bought the antidote?" He asked as they brushed past a group of cheerleaders.
"Yeah, Gwen gave it to me last night. It should work but are you sure Dr. Connors will try to attack me in school?" Peter asked, feeling a bit of restlessness in his heart.
"Yeah, there's a high chance. Like I told you before, the lizard genes probably cause a lot of mental damage to Dr. Connors. The Lizard is more of a split personality version of his. A more ruthless and crazy personality and it's affecting him."
Peter nodded, thinking back to how Dr. Connors wanted to succeed in his project to create a world with no outcasts. But after becoming The Lizard, that part of him had been twisted.
With resolution in their hearts, they entered their class and sat down at their seats.
There was nothing new going on in their class and Alex was already used to the cliques and teenage power struggle. As he was about to practice a meditation technique, he noticed Liz Allen get up from her seat and walk over to Peter.
Seeing this, he perked up his ears to listen in on their conversation.
"Peter, have you seen Harry lately?"
"Uh, no."
"He hasn't been coming to school lately and he's not answering his phone, so I'm really worried."
Liz said with a concerned expression. She and Harry were going out for a couple of weeks now, but Harry had been pretty off lately.
Though he seemed fine at times, he would become depressed suddenly and now, he wasn't even coming to school.
'Harry has been acting weird since his breakup with MJ.'
Alex thought as Liz sat back down at her seat.
He knew that it was not because of his breakup that Harry was being weird. He liked MJ because she was pretty and nothing more than that.
After playing around with her for a few months, he just got tired and threw her away and started chasing after her friend, Liz Allen.
It was just normal rich playboy behavior.
'He's probably been like this because of his father.'
Alex frowned, thinking about Normon Osborn and how he had died in Amazing Spider-Man and after that, Harry would become the Green Goblin.
This world was probably taking the same route somehow.
'I don't want that…'
Alex shook his head, thinking of the villains that may pop out in the future.
In the end, he decided to not think too much about it and focus on The Lizard crisis.
The classes went the same as usual with nothing much happening. In-between classes, Peter would send him glances or look outside the window.
It was when they were going towards their History class that Peter whispered to him.
"You sure he's gonna attack?"
"Yeah, just keep your eyes and ears open." Alex said, nodding his head.
"It's already close to lunch time. If Dr. Connors wanted to attack, he would have already done it."
"Just wait a–"
As he was saying that, he sensed a loud rumbling. He turned his head back to look up at the way the rumbling was coming from.
At that moment, one of the students suddenly screamed.
"He's here!"
Alex muttered as he prepared his heart.
