Better intentions than the big sciencey corporation in my world. Oscorp, it's- [ her eyes widen and she shakes her head a little bit, finally standing up straight again, even if she keeps her hands on his shoulders. she's not even actively making a point to be touchy or handsy, she's just- comfortable with him. she'll clue into it later, maybe. ]
They're the reason behind most of the crime and corruption in my city, but they never take responsibility, never face the consequences. They get away with murder, sometimes literally. [ she huffs, and she doesn't mean to be fidgeting or poking him with her hands on his shoulders, but her fingers are drumming a bit, as always. she doesn't notice it anymore. ] I get that people make mistakes, but they seem to hold the record for using that excuse every time something goes wrong.
But you're not like Norman Osborn. At all. Maybe that's the difference. I don't know the first thing about running a big lab, but it's pretty easy to see that it depends on the type of person running the show to determine if they're going to stand for something terrible or great. When it stops being about helping people and starts being about money and power.
[ there's a long pause, then- ]
People suck, sometimes. [ her thumb taps his shoulder a little more deliberately now, like she's finally zoning back into the actual moment and not where her brain went, jeeze ] You'll figure it out though, I know it. And when you do, maybe you can stop by my world and run Oscorp out of business. That'd be nice.
