A new text message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[We need to talk. - Black Widow]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent ignored it. \"Busy.

Dr. Connors injected himself already?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent! Come help me!\" Gwen shouted from the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent smiled and walked out in his swim trunks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen emerged from the water, holding a massive lobster in one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impressive,\" Vincent gave her a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was truly a Spider of the Sea. Diving that deep without gear, ignoring the pressure... only a super-soldier could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed the lobster with one hand and pulled Gwen up with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Water cascaded off her body. She looked like a goddess emerging from the surf. Vincent stared, mesmerized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen rolled her eyes. She knew that look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's got a stomach full of bad intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally understood how he wrote Fifty Shades. The man was... experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about last night made her hips ache. Phantom pain, mostly. Her healing factor had already repaired any damage, but the memory lingered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This lobster is huge,\" Vincent said, breaking the tension. \"I'll make Lobster Thermidor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope your cooking lives up to the hype,\" Gwen challenged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom? I'm fine... wait, what? I'll be home in a few hours. Okay. Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen hung up, her face pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong?\" Vincent asked, sensing the shift in her mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Lizard monster attacked the Manhattan Bridge last night,\" Gwen said, her voice trembling. \"156 people died. 78 were kids on a school bus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Vincent, tears welling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad... he was on the scene. He's injured.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent dropped the lobster tool. He pulled her into a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'll be okay. We're going back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He headed straight for the helm and turned the yacht around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can mess up New York all you want, Connors. But injuring my future father-in-law? That's personal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York. Oscorp Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha Romanoff, having failed to reach Vincent, switched gears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Fury's intel, she zeroed in on Dr. Curt Connors. The missing arm was a dead giveaway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She donned a press badge and headed to Oscorp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Dr. Connors is ill. No interviews,\" the security guard blocked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A handsome young man with expensive hair and a winning smile walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm Harry Osborn. If you want to know about Oscorp, I can give you a tour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was a notorious flirt. Seeing the stunning \"reporter\" at the gate, he couldn't resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi, Harry. I'm Natasha, from the New York Times,\" she said, shaking his hand. \"Are you Norman's son?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's me.\" Harry winked at the guard. \"Let her in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha followed him inside. She charmed him effortlessly, asking questions about the company. But she quickly realized Harry knew nothing. He was just a figurehead sent to calm investors after the death of the VP, Menken (killed by the Lizard).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an hour, Natasha left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a woman,\" Harry sighed, watching her walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked into the secure lab sector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped in front of a display case. Inside was a sleek, green battle armor and a glider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminded him of Iron Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was envious of Tony Stark. Not just for the wealth, but for the lifestyle. Stark slept with supermodels. Harry just slept with gold diggers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Goblin Armor...\" Harry muttered. \"Prototype.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sewers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Connors woke up in the damp darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reviewed his video log.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched himself transform. He watched the monster rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guilt washed over him. But then... a cold, sibilant voice whispered in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why feel guilty?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The serum works. The arm grew back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone was like us... there would be no sickness. No weakness. No amputees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"William Menken deserved to die,\" Connors muttered, his eyes dilating. \"He pushed me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can create a perfect world,\" the Lizard persona hissed. \"A world without pain. A world of apex predators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plan formed in his twisted mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to disperse the serum. To evolve the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York Presbyterian Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent followed Gwen into the hospital room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain George Stacy was sitting up, his arm in a sling, looking grumpy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Gwen, his face softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he saw the man standing behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man his daughter had spent the weekend with. On a boat. Alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George's eyes narrowed into slits of pure, protective rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forgot about the Lizard. He forgot about his injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he knew was that this boy had \"defiled\" his little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen rushed to hug him, oblivious to the murder in her father's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad! Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent stood in the doorway, feeling the heat of the glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great, Vincent thought. The Lizard didn't kill him, but I might die right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Get The FULL NOVEL at Once at 30% OFF!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Limited time only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>@patreon.com\u002FAuthorizz\u003C\u002Fp>",835,"2026-06-06T16:16:52.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","c99e5e551c664ae538bce27ce3d3dff7e3c3cc4d5f4ea070a66a5fdba64ba409","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-36","marvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-chapter-34",116,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-starting-with-the-ice-ice-fruit-cover.jpg"]
