Computer Operations: [dice=100]/72
Peter sits down at the computer, and tries to connect to the program but none of it makes sense to him... "Umm...This program isn't written in Spider-ese, I can't read this nonsense!" Spider-Man headdesks and mumbles "Back to you Doctor Foster..."[rand=88698816906356382266702669611519430862882813472857666008640746576]

Foster sits at the console. "It's OK, it's still your first day, right?" He chuckles as he brings up the data. A few moments goes by before a driver's license photo of the man dressed as Goliath appeared on the screen - he had sandy blond hair and fairly attractive features - or at least as attractive as anyone with a DMV photo can get.
"Alright, so here's our suspected Goliath, one Jared Davis of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Waiter...aspiring actor." Foster reads down the list. "Who got passed over for the Arkon role by our own Mr. Williams."
Captain America shakes his head. "So, this is a feud over...an acting job?"

Standing behind Doctor Foster at the computer, Spider-Man stares at the picture of the new Goliath. "That's the guy. I could tell that jawline from a mile away. Or was it that his jaw was a mile wide... Anyway, what next? See if he's home and bring him some Spider-cookies with American flags on em that grow real big?"

"Next, I want to know more about this new so-called Baron Zemo." Cap responds, as he starts loading up video footage from the battle.
Foster looks quizzically at Cap. "How do you know it's a new one? With that mask it could be anyone. And it's not like headgames aren't a part of Helmut's gimmicks."
"It wasn't Helmut Zemo. This one was a full two inches taller. Didn't fight like Helmut either. And there was something...something about his voice that reminded me of the first Zemo I fought." Cap's eyes get that glassy look again, and Spider-Man remembers that the previous Zemo, Heinrich, had been one of Cap's archenemies in WWII, second perhaps only to the Red Skull. And the one that had killed Cap's partner Bucky. From what you heard, the elder Zemo had died some years ago shortly after Cap's return in combat with him.

"Zemo's a real serious one, right?" Spider-Man stands behind Cap at the computer. "And if there's a new one, who knows what kind of tricks they've got up their sleeves."

"It's definitely a problem, yes." Cap responds. "I need to start co-ordinating with local and Federal Law Enforcement. Dr. Foster? If you would like, you can give Spider-Man a tour of the labs, perhaps?"
"Sure thing. Right this way, Spidey? Can I call you Spidey?" The big man smiles.

"You can call me whatever you'd like, big man." Spider-Man follows Dr. Foster around the labs, paying attention to every detail. He was going to have to use the facilities after all.

Dr. Foster shows him into the first lab. "Call me Bill then. I've retired my tights."
The place is a technological wonderland - Stark Industries manufacturing capabilities and computers. Diagnostic equipment designed by Reed Richards (you recognize it from some articles you were reading on the subject) and Pym's biochem lab is just perfectly stocked for anything you can imagine, and a few things you can't.

"Ummm... Wow. Is there anything we don't have? Wait...where's the red vines dispenser?" Spider-Man walks around the lab like a kid in a candy store. Minus the snatching and breaking of things.

"Ah, an ESU grad, eh?" Foster chuckles. "Well, this is going to be as much your lab as mine, so look around, ask any questions you want."

"Was it that obvious?" Spider-Man asks the obvious question. "Can you give me a rundown? What've we got? What can we do? I see Stark, Richards AND Pym tech here? Geez..."

"We've got a full suite of chemistry/biochem labs that's equivalent to the best Oscorp has, a minaturized Stark robotic assembly line for quick mechanical work, and some of Reed's prototype sub-quantum computational array. A fully functioning crimelab and superhuman assessement center. And it's all run on Stark Solutions software, so no blue screen of death." Dr. Foster answers.

"Wow..." He looks over at the Stark robotic assembly line. "Maybe I'll have to build myself a better Spider-Man costume. One with robotic arms like a spider and chameleon capabilities! Where's Iron Man when you need him?"

"Well..." Foster leans in conspiratorially. "Scuttlebutt is that he and Cap are trying to expand the Avengers with multiple teams around the world, and that Shellhead is working with Stark to bring back the West Coast franchise before spinning up a new team in either Europe or Wakanda. But you didn't hear that from me. Cap hates gossiping." He checks on a few monitors on some projects. "Cap should just about be ready for us, unless there's something you want to do while you're here?"

"What, you mean after that display of the Amazing Not-Good-At-Computer-Man? Almost worse than the Amazing Paperbag Man... Let's go find Cap." Spider-Man shakes his head as he's walking out. "So, why'd you hang up the tights, Bill?"
