Chapter 281: Spiderman
Inside Oscorp’s genetics lab, Peter Parker followed the tour guide with a mixture of curiosity and hesitation. His camera clicked as he took snapshots of genetically modified spiders spinning webs inside their reinforced enclosures.
"This is insane," he whispered to himself. "How did they even do that?"
As he leaned in to snap a closer photo, he didn’t notice the small red-and-blue spider descending silently on a thin strand of silk, directly above him. A moment later—sting!
"Ow—" Peter flinched, brushing the back of his neck. "What the...?"
He turned, glancing around, but saw nothing. Just a faint red mark on his skin.
"Probably just a regular spider..." he muttered, rubbing his neck and continuing the tour.
Later that night...
Peter stumbled into his bedroom, kicking the door shut behind him.
"What a weird day," he mumbled, dropping his bag. He collapsed onto his bed but immediately sat up again.
His skin was burning.
"Okay... what the hell?"
