Michelangelo smashed the wall, leaving deep cracks. It was clear: Spider-Man had not held back at all.
His three brothers wore expressions of shock similar to the yellow-masked turtle.
They looked Peter Spider-Man up and down, unable to believe that such a seemingly underdeveloped body could unleash such terrifying power.
They all knew Michelangelo's strength well enough.
If Spider-Man could knock out "Mikey" with a single punch, he could just as easily do the same to them.
"This is terrifying!"
"Is he even human? How can a human be this powerful?"
"I think he's a robot disguised as a human!!"
The other three turtles exchanged glances.
Even Splinter, who had anticipated some of this, was surprised.
Though he was prepared, Spider-Man's performance still amazed him.
"Come on."
Spider-Man grinned and waved at Michelangelo. "This time, you don't need to go easy on me!"
"Just the words I wanted to hear!"
Michelangelo flipped and rushed toward Spider-Man on the arena.
The previous punch had hurt him little, but the insult was great. He had to regain his pride from this kid.
The yellow-masked turtle became serious. Indeed, Spider-Man was a formidable opponent.
Especially given Spider-Man's lack of technique despite his strength.
Their powers were comparable, but against Michelangelo, who was almost a martial arts master, Spider-Man could only defend.
He moved and dodged, occasionally counterattacking.
However, Michelangelo's shell gave him incredible defense. Spider-Man's attacks barely scratched him.
Soon, Spider-Man fell behind.
After thinking for a long moment, he couldn't resist — his wrist shot out webs, entangling Michelangelo.
This revealed his identity.
All four turtles, including Splinter, now knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man and understood why Anton had brought him here.
"Looks like I don't need to introduce him again."
Anton shrugged, smiling. "Strictly speaking, you've met before."
At the end of the Green Goblin incident, Spider-Man and the turtles had crossed paths once.
"So he's Spider-Man!!"
The turtles finally understood.
Splinter's eyes lit up. He was even more impressed with Spider-Man, knowing Anton had brought him a remarkable student.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Using webs to grapple, Spider-Man finally managed to defend himself and gradually gained the upper hand.
But to Anton and Splinter, he still had a long way to go.
"He's a promising kid," Anton remarked. "Train him well. This talent cannot be wasted."
"I will," Splinter said with a faint smile.
Anton saw Peter's future in that smile and couldn't help but feel that Spider-Man would have little time for dating.
Soon, the fight ended.
Michelangelo, panting, was wrapped up in a giant web "cocoon."
"Waaaahhh!!"
He groaned muffled within the web cocoon.
"Mikey, that should shut you up!"
The other three turtles laughed heartily, not sympathizing, but relishing in his plight.
Spider-Man collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
This sparring had drained a lot of his energy.
Looking at the remaining three turtles, he finally understood why Anton had brought him here.
Since gaining his powers, his pride had begun to fade slightly, and he started thinking about his weaknesses.
"Peter, from now on, come train here every week," Anton instructed.
"Your teacher is Master Splinter. He trained the ninja turtles in front of you. He is the best teacher in this world. Don't let me or Master Splinter down."
"Got it! I won't disappoint you!!"
Peter perked up.
Thinking about future battles, training alongside the turtles, even becoming as skillful as Batman, he could no longer be the mere "bouncing little Spider-Man" in people's eyes. He looked forward to it eagerly.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind Anton and Splinter.
It was Connors.
"Norman knows you're here. He wants to see you," Connors explained. "I just gave him an injection to stabilize his mind."
"Alright."
Anton nodded and walked to a dungeon-like area built by the turtles for the Green Goblin.
Here was the temporary prison holding the Green Goblin.
Although the Green Goblin's body had been enhanced, the makeshift cell couldn't hold him. But Connors had developed a serum that could temporarily suppress the Goblin's powers, turning him into a normal human for a few days of rest.
Of course, this serum couldn't fix Norman's inner negative emotions. That would require new research.
Today, the serum's effect had worn off, and it was time for a new dose.
Only at this time would the Green Goblin's negative emotions briefly subside, allowing him to revert to Norman Osborn.
"Anton."
Seeing Anton, Norman's expression grew complex. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How is the Osborn Company doing?"
"Not well. Harry is working hard for you," Anton replied candidly.
"He probably knows, right?" Norman asked suddenly, his voice dry. "If he went to the Osborn mansion, he should have figured it out… He's a smart kid."
"You're quite the father. He came to see me today," Anton said. "Don't worry, he seems motivated. Hearing you're alive has given him even more determination."
"Help him."
Norman looked at Anton, pleading seriously. "Anton, I beg you!"
"I can't interfere with Osborn Company," Anton said.
"Norman, don't pretend you don't understand. Your company is backed not just by politicians, but the military as well," he added.
"But you must at least protect Harry from being threatened!"
Norman gritted his teeth. "I know those people. They would stop at nothing to get what they want. The Osborn Company is a big prize… Harry is just a kid. It won't be easy for him to protect it."
Pausing, he continued gravely, "Help him — and me. I don't need you involved in the company's affairs. Just guarantee his safety. The rest, you can ignore. Tony Stark ran Stark Industries at 21. Harry is younger, but I believe he's just as capable!"
"If it's really for your son's sake, I suggest letting him give up on the company," Anton said.
"Even if he wanted to, they might not let him go free," Norman smiled bitterly. "Without you, I'd let him give up everything and be a normal person."
What? Is he making himself a babysitter? Anton squinted, about to refuse, but Norman continued:
"No matter the outcome, Osborn will be your most steadfast ally! Think about it, Anton! I beg you!"
Here, "Osborn" clearly referred to the Osborn family, not the company.
"I have a private armed force — essentially mercenaries. Since Harry has learned the truth from the mansion, he has likely already met some of my people."
Norman's expression was both worried and relieved.
"I understand Harry's determination. It's not that I don't want him to give up — he insists!"
Anton looked Norman in the eye, seeing the love of a father and confidence in his son. He slightly revised his opinion of Norman.
"I can guarantee Harry's safety," Anton finally said, then turned to leave.
"Thank you!"
Norman brightened, his voice slightly emotional. "Thank you, Anton!"
Anton waved behind him and left the area.
In fact, he had a good impression of Harry. Since Harry was Spider-Man's friend, if he could help, he would — even without Norman asking.
After all, he now had an autonomous agent at his disposal.
With the growing support of the Green Arrow's fanbase, it could sustain Green Arrow's brief activities in New York.
So he could let Green Arrow's name be more widely known without diminishing his image.
Batman had to remain aloof, but Green Arrow didn't.
In this world, Green Arrow was seen as a low-budget Batman. Protecting Harry or getting involved with the Osborn Company wouldn't be embarrassing.
Otherwise, when the New York war came and the Justice League became known, few people would even recognize Green Arrow.
