Peter hitched up his back pack and started unclipping the second place ribbon off of his chest.
He wasn't bitter that he'd lost to Gwen Stacey, he knew his heart hadn't been in it this year and her experiment out-shined his by a mile.
He'd always have the satisfaction of last years win anyway.
He was on his way to the lecture hall in Midtown Highschool, there were a few presentations by some local scientists he was interested in. There were a few on genetics and genealogy presented by some Oscorp scientists, one about theoretical mathematics and one that he found himself interested in despite himself on local birds and conservation by a guy named Dr. Dreiberg. The only quote they had from him in the pamphlet said "Please don't put down doctor, I'm just a guy who really likes birds."
Peter had laughed and figured he might be an interesting local figure he could at least get some photographs of.
Turning the corner to the lecture hall he found himself face to face with Dr. Dreiberg who was talking heatedly on a cell phone.

((Pre-Greece for anyone keeping score))
"I am not going to skip out on this lecture I've been preparing for it all week! It literally starts in 10 and a half minutes" Dan paused and exhaled hard enough that the other person on the phone was sure to hear it "bullets are bullets, what do you want me to do? Create bullets with a force field? I can do it, but what the hell kind of use would it be?"
He looked up from the phone to see a young man staring at him "All right Ms. Wilde, I've got to go, I'll contact you later." Dan hung it up looking a little frazzled. Regina was asking him to help create some more weapons and Dan was not liking the areas she was looking in to. It was becoming a little more offense than defense.
"Hi, you here for the lecture?"

"Yea, you must be Dr. Dreiberg."

Dan furrowed his brow "Did they really put the doctor in there?" He pulled the pamphlet out of his pocket and sighed.

"Makes me look like an ass" he looked up at the kid "you're Peter Parker right?"

"I was a judge on the panel today, for the record I thought your experiment was top notch. Ms. Stacey has a firm scientific grasp on molecular theory but I think you took a chance by focusing on the specifics of biophysics. I'm just not sure that the other judges quite... understood exactly what you were going for."
He smiled "Also you're Uncle gets his car worked on by a good friend of mine."

"Hollis is a very good friend of mine, he's helped me a lot over the years, kept me from getting in to trouble."
It was a lie, Hollis was very much involved in getting Dan in trouble constantly.

"Didn't he used to be a super hero or something?"

"That's cool man."
It was still weird to him that he grew up in a world where super heroes existed. I mean he had a Ozymandias figure somewhere that his Aunt bought him when he was young, he didn't have the heart to tell her that he didn't like Ozymandias costume. But he figured he'd hold on to it because it's probably worth something now.

"Nah, my Uncle has though, he said it was pretty uncompromising."
