Carlos put her through the last minutes of their intense sparring session and it ended in a draw. He looked at her proudly before giving her a nice large bottle with water. "You should probably go shower before you go to continue your tutor sessions with Peter," Carlos told her as he embraced her and kissing her, even kissing her neck to mildly tease her.
Peter had managed to catch-up to the Hobgoblin from behind. Rather than due any banter though, he webbed the Hobgoblin from behind before webbing them to their glider before slamming them down to break the glider and webbing them up. When the police arrived, they went to unmask the Hobgoblin.
"Ned Lee?!" Peter said in surprise. Some of the cops turned to him in confusion. "He works for the Bugle and according to Parker, he went missing some time ago," Spider-Man explained. Some know that Spider-Man was affiliared with Peter Parker, albeit in a loose professional manner. This led to Peter being suspected of being Spider-Man thanks to Venom. "He's right. His boss called us to investigate his disappearance and it appeared he was taken by force," Officer DeWolff said as she was taking him into custody.
Watching from the dying camera of the glider was a tall man in a white suit and a scientist. "Ned Leeds?" the tall man questioned the scientist. "Well, it wasn't the best idea, but it appears that the serum is improving. I certainly underestimate your knowledge. Though I suppose knowing perfume grants you some knowledge on chemistry," he said to the tall man. "Spider-Man is too close; we need to deter him," the scientist added.
The tall man stepping into the light, was revealed to be perfime magnate Roderick Kingsley. He managed to avoid getting caught when he attempted to purchase the Rhino blueprints. No matter. The scientist, Miles Warren, was given an envelope by the wealthy CEO. "His name is Morris Bench. He was a former demolition expert who worked for Osborn. However, he was fired for taking bribes and he turned to crime. Apparently, he was also a former aquaintance of Flint Marko, aka Sandman who has been AWOL for several months," the CEO explained. Miles looked over the file and smirked.
"He'll do nicely and I actually was inspired by something with what Marko did," he explained before showing Kinglsey. "Interesting... you basically turn him into some sort of giant ameoba or something and absorbing fluids," he noted. "While an oversimplified explanation, it works. He will be able to have a fluit state and manipulate water while doing so," he said. "Get to work. I'll have him come by your office," Kingsley explained.
