Ch: 118 [Kingpin and Otto]

While Peter was enjoying his reunion with his girls, the news of his survival reached some people's ears who were after his incomplete project.

Kingpin's body was already broken down. The poison in his body affected his nervous system and bones, corroding them. He searched for mutants with poison abilities and tried to extract the poison, although they succeeded in extracting some of it, the toxin in his body had already done the damage and had penetrated every organ in his body. Even his blood became poisonous.

Regular blood transfusion extended his life for a few months, then organ replacement also helped, but there's only so much a human body can endure. He spent a lot of money and precious items in search of cures, but not even one was able to heal the wounds of the corrosion, just stabilized it and slowed down the process of its deterioration.

Fisk was at his limit and a mere inch away from his imminent death. His once big, powerful, and majestic frame, was nothing, but a mere shadow of the body he once was. A dying patient lying on his deathbed was all that remains of Fisk.

The advanced life support was the only thing keeping him alive. The doctors concluded that Fisk barely had a year of life left before his end. That realization made his blood boil and his mind numb in agony. When faced with his mortality, he fell into the sea of despair and misery, looking forward to his death to free himself of this suffering, this endless cycle of torture.

Despite his grave condition, Fisk was able to retain his consciousness through sheer willpower. He wanted to tear apart Osborn, but when he heard that Spiderman and Osborn got caught up in an explosion during their confrontation and how they both died, the last bit of strength he could summon was expended in his fit of anger. He failed to strangle Osborn to death with his bare hands, that's the only regret he had left in his mind at the moment.

As Fisk was waiting for his death, one of his trusted doctors gave him news of new implants that might be able to help him extend his lifespan. According to the doctor, if they somehow manage to get their hands on the complete blueprints of the implants, or the product itself, they will be able to operate on him and graft his body with the cybernetics, preventing any further decay of his body.

However, Fisk will lose his humanity and become a cyborg and since the technology is unfinished and new, the chance of his survival after the operation would be less than twenty percent, but considering his situation, that twenty percent was much better than his nearing end.

He ordered his men to do whatever was necessary to get their hands on that technology. Then, they tracked down Peter Parker, only to discover that he got caught up in an accident and is now in the Fantastic Four's care. To make things worse, Susan Storm closed Peter's project and hid it somewhere safe.

Kingpin understood that getting his hands on the implants would be nearly impossible as long as Sue was protecting them. But he didn't give up. He sent many mutants and his veteran people to find it, but the security placed within the Baxter Building was too much for them to handle and they were either caught or killed.

Finally, when he was at his wit's end and had barely a month or two left to live, the news of Peter Parker waking up reached his ears. He immediately ordered his henchmen to kidnap Peter Parker and bring him in. If they failed to capture Peter, then they were ordered to go after his family, friends, girls anyone close to him.

"Wesley, failure isn't an option. I couldn't finish Norman, but the one who put me into this state is still roaming out there and it hurts my soul, thinking of leaving without bringing that scum to his knees and tearing him apart, then killing everyone that matters to him. Leave nothing behind of his life. The pain he's inflicted upon me, ten times, no, a hundred times more, should be returned back to him. But I can't do it in my state. I need Parker's help. Bring me Parker or his family. Do whatever is necessary," Fisk said through the respirator connected to him while speaking into the intercom.

"Yes, boss, just leave this to me," James Wesley answered before leaving the room.

On his way, James dialed Emma's number, "Miss Frost, capture Peter Parker, alive, without any harm, and bring him to our main base. Failure isn't an option. Do whatever is necessary. You have 1 week."

After giving his order, he disconnected the call and called a dozen of Fisk's finest assassins to kidnap Peter's family, friends, and girls. In case, Peter refuses to help them, he can just threaten the lives of Peter's loved ones to bend him to his will. With the life of his boss at stake, as his right-hand man, James refused to let him die or watch the downfall of the empire he helped to build up from scratch.

...

[Location: Otto Octavius's house]

After the failed experiment and the sudden power outage, Otto's tentacles got permanently grafted with his spinal cord. He's been trying to remove them and disconnect them from his spine, but his previous failed attempt to separate his tentacles from his body. Although he can't move his body anymore, the four tentacles on his back act as an extension of his body. But the thing is they don't listen to his commands and he has been hearing weird voices in his head.

The worst part isn't only that.

When Otto was examining the inhibitor chip on his neck, he noticed that the chip was partially damaged and he suffered partial brain damage. He tried to recreate the chip, but the voices in his head sabotaged him.

They began whispering weird things to him, about controlling the world and helping him reach his true potential. The voice even urged him to trust it and open up.

To clear his mind, Otto drank alcohol and slept, only to wake hours later and realize that he slept for one full day. The voices were gone, but the tentacles still refused to listen to his commands. He could tell that he hadn't got much time. He could suppress the voices and his tentacles for a limited time by giving himself EMP shocks, which helps him calm the voices and return control over his mind. But the pain was too much.

He needs a neural implant, the superior version of his inhibitor chip that Peter was working on before his accident to completely remove the influence of the tentacle in his head. But just like Fisk, he also failed to infiltrate the Baxter Building. He barely escaped after a failed attempt and almost got exposed, that's why his attempt at obtaining that technology was cut short.

Just like Fisk, Otto is desperate to get a hold of that technology to free his mind from the control of the metal tentacles. That's when he heard that Peter Parker woke up from his comatose state, a ray of light shined upon him. He knew that Peter wouldn't be sharing his inventions with him and in the past he had also refused to work with him, so, Otto decided to kidnap Peter and force him to create a neural implant for him and after achieving his goal, he planned to kill Peter, of course not before torturing him to death.

"I'll kill that kid. Yes!" Otto looked at one of his tentacles, "Yes, I know. He is too dangerous to be left alive. But yes... Yes, you are right... Why don't we make him work for us in confinement? We can also nab his family and force him to work for me. He will invent and I'll take them as my own... Brilliant... Amazing..."

As Otto was talking with one of his tentacles, the voice whispered a different set of ideas and plans in his head. He thought he was in control, but he didn't even realize that it was his mechanical arms that were using him as a host to gain back their full control and autonomy. They were also the reason behind the voice Otto had been hearing and also the ones who planted the false idea that his brain was damaged and he needed a neural implant to stop the voices.

Otto knew that it wouldn't be easy to capture Peter because now that he woke up with the Fantastic Four's help, he might be working with them. This means, there will be tight security around him. He needs to approach the situation with caution.
