"After Harry, no one really knows what Oscorp stands for anymore. Someone asked me the other day if we're working on the hand wash that eradicates 100% of germs."
"What did you say?"
"Hard no."
"Shame."
The moment the press catches wind of Peter Parker comforting prodigy Liliana Osborn at her older brother's funeral, the media is a blur.
With Lily's new promotion to the head of Oscorp and Peter struggling to keep his job with the new allegations made against him, the two aren't expecting to find themselves confiding in each other for their few short moments of grief. It doesn't help with the constant sightings being photographed and shared for the entire world to see, questioning whether those fleeting hours of comfort are worth the hate thrown at both of them in the harsh dissonance of real life.
Then again, Lily's always managed to maintain the false smiles and confident aura in front of the press, having done so for her entire life. After all, it isn't easy to be the golden girl hiding in the shade of her father and brother, always equipped with a smart comeback or blunt one-liner for those that underestimate her.
But when Oscorp begins to collapse and Lily finds out the lie her closest friend is hiding regarding the mysterious deaths in her family, it might finally become all too much for her to handle.
