Norman Osborn was looking at the latest email regarding a replacement for the Goblin Glider when the assistant messaged him.
“The Fourth Vigilante is here to see you, sir.”
“Let her in.”
“Yes, sir.”
A minute later, the Enigma stormed in, with her hands glowing faintly.
“I know why you’re here, Sandi,” he said after the doors were closed.
“Do you?” the Enigma asked, as the glow intensified.
“You’re going to ask me why I am having you and the others followed. The answer should be obvious.”
“That you don’t want us to be in your way as you plot to gain more control over Lawndale?”
“That is a strong word,” Osborn said.
“That is what you’re doing.”
“You don’t have proof of that, and I know you’re not in the school paper.”
“I’m not, but, like, I am still investigating what you are up to, along with whatever else in Lawndale that you may not be responsible for,” the Enigma sot
“So, you’re not seeing the hand of Oscorp in everything?”
“No. There is a line between suspicion and conspiracy theories.”
“But I’m sure you’re engaging in the latter regarding SpiderGirl,” Osborn taunted.
“I’m not! She is overhyped, playing up the fact that she is Lawndale’s first superhero, and getting the credit for everything.”
“That is why I am doing what I’m doing!”
“No it isn’t,” the Enigma shot back. “You want to bring her down, as well as Ninja Talon, the Shadow and Dafoanairi.”
“I neither confirm nor deny, but I say that you are a variable that I could capture right now.”
The Enigma raised a forcefield. “Not without a fight and a lot of damage to this office, and you would have to explain to Harry why his friend disappeared.”
“That’s true. But that doesn’t mean I can’t try, or make something up.”
“You’re going to test me? You think I haven’t prepared?”
“I know you have some ace up your sleave, but yes,” Osborn responded become pressing a button and a panel opened revealing several of those pumpkin bombs.
Dafoanairi was ready, especially when she saw the window of the office open and one of the Enigma’s energy projections was shot out. She quickly moved to the window as the Enigma ran out.
“I know someone else is there,” Osborn said from inside the office.
Dafoanairi remained silent; she didn’t want Osborn to try to identify her from her voice, even if she was disguising it by pitching it higher. She let down a rope to a lower ledge.
“Let’s go. I did what I came to do,” the Engima said.
‘Which wasn’t much,’ Dafoanairi thought.
