Plan Formulated. Awaiting Execution.

"Alright J.A.R.V.I.S, get me up the floor plans for Oscorp's main tower and throw in any extra 'Off the record' schematics you can scrounge up while you're at it" Tony said, sticking his spoon into the tub of ice cream he was eating.

"Dude, that can't be good for you" Peter said, eyeing up the cookie dough ice cream with a suspicious eye.

"Ice cream makes me a happy boy, you're not gonna take that away from me are you?" Tony asked "Oh, and before you answer remember that the turrets still operate down here"

"Well then, let's let Tony be as happy a boy as he wants to be" Peter said, holding his arms up in surrender.

"Good decision" Tony nodded, bringing up a hologram of the floor plans of Oscorp Tower, seeing that every detail was mapped out down to the electric current direction and laser lines of the automatic doors "Now this is a floor plan"

"Did you get this thing off the internet?" Peter asked "Because it seems kind of suicidal to have the bare bones of your high-tech company available on Pinterest"

"Well, not exactly off the internet... more like Norman Osborn's Cloud service" Tony chuckled.

"And this is why I don't trust the Cloud to store anything" Peter sighed "Too many loopholes and access points for anything secure to be kept in there"

"You're worried they'll find your freaky porn?" Tony asked.

"Isn't everyone?" Peter asked in response.

"True" Tony nodded, turning back to the hologram, pointing his middle finger at a small, dark area on the hologram "And here is what we're looking for"

"Wow, a section of Oscorp that is literally off the books" Peter said in an impressed tone "How do they hide it from the tax payers?"

"I can search for that if you wish?" J.A.R.V.I.S asked from the speakers.

"No thanks bud, maybe later" Tony said to his friend, giving a thumbs up sign.

"Very well" the A.I responded kindly.

"So this is the spot we're looking for?" Peter asked "Seems like a very glaring flaw for the plans to show this area"

"I know... unless..." Tony said, humming with thought "J.A.R.V.I.S, can you get me the original blueprints for the tower when it was commissioned?"

"Of course sir" J.A.R.V.I.S said, going quiet for a second before an image popped up on the computer screen, getting both men to look at it. Tony browsed through the different pages before he came to the endoskeleton of the tower, seeing what he was hoping for.

"Here we are, the original plans say that this big space on the hologram is where the power station was gonna be built" Tony said before pointing at the top of the tower on the hologram "But as we can see from the directional indication of the power currents, they start at the top of the tower and make their way to the bottom... you know what that means?"

"That they lied about the position of the generator and moved it to the top, leaving a very large, open space in the basement for all kinds of evil schemes to take place" Peter nodded "But there's one thing I'm wondering"

"Which is?" Tony asked.

"The tower was commissioned by Norman's Father, Grandaddy Osborn, before Smythe was even alive... so why would he leave an enormous space in the bottom of his tower for evil schemes that hadn't even started yet?" Peter asked.

"Preparation for evil schemes?" Tony suggested "I have no idea, and it doesn't seem relevant right now... say, did you get a a chance to talk to that thief friend of yours did you?"

"Nope, sorry" Peter said with a shake of his head "I can't find her anywhere"

"Damn... so its just gonna be you going in there" Tony sighed.

"Whoa, whoa, hold up" Peter said in a surprised tone "When did we say it was me going in to begin with?"

"I never brought that up?" Tony asked.

"Not that I remember" Peter said, crossing his arms "What exactly am I gonna be doing?"

"Right, so what we've managed to figure out is that Smythe is storing all the data he has on the Iron Man suits in a secluded server that only operates inside the Oscorp tower" Tony explained.

"Which is why I need to go in" Peter nodded.

"Wow, and they say the younger generation is full of idiots" Tony said in a faux impressed tone "How wrong were they?"

Peter glared angrily at Stark for a second before the older man chuckled and continued to explain.

"Yes, that's why, and once you're in their you're going to use the small program I've written up to hack into the mainframe of the tower, which is linked into all employee accounts, to gather all the data on the Iron Man suits" Tony said "And then you're going to delete it all, once that's done the program'll create a Trojan Horse virus that'll replace the data, so the next time he accesses the files for the suit it'll release the virus and cripple the Oscorp system, letting Stark Industries get a nice little profit boost and the price of our stock's should go up a smidge"

"That's... That's really dickish Stark" Peter said in a surprised tone.

"Rule number one of business kid: Take any chance you can to get ahead of the competition" Tony chuckled.

"Alright... so how am I gonna go about getting in?" Peter asked "I figure they're not just gonna let me waltz in and give me access to their mainframe"

"Right you are, that's why you're gonna go in dressed for work" Tony nodded "There's an access tunnel... well, a ventilation shaft that's used to circulate cold air from outside around the building to keep the wire-work cool and functional"

"Huh, good to know that the Oscorp Tower has the same weakness as the Death Star" Peter nodded.

"Not exactly, its in a place that no normal human should be able to access" Tony said, flipping the hologram around to show Peter where the vents were, on the underside of the landing pad installed on the roof of the building.

"Pfff" Peter scoffed "Like that's gonna stop me"

"That's what I like to hear" Tony nodded.

"Then what's the plan for the exit after I'm done?" Peter asked.

"The same way you got in if it all goes well" Tony answered "If nothing fucks up you should be in and out within ten minutes, tops"

"Good... no security to speak of?" Peter asked, making sure to cover all the bases "Cameras, lasers?"

"None, the ventilation tunnel runs straight down to the main hub of the building where the servers are kept, supposedly out of reach to humans" Tony answered.

"Well then, it'll be good to prove them wrong" Peter chuckled "I'll go suit up, how soon can you get your virus ready?"

"Thirty seconds at most" Tony responded.

"Good to hear" Peter grinned "I'll be back" Next Chapter: Smythe's Plan Estimated time remaining: 5 Hours, 43 Minutes
