Time Square, New York

People moved around aimlessly. The footpaths were overcrowded. The roads were the same, crowed with buses, cars and taxis. One man stood at a corner with a hot dog stand. Two people were fighting over the last one.

Sitting on a bench below one of the massive neon signs was a man wearing a red jacket and brown trousers. Under the red jacket he wore a black shirt and on his hands he wore black, fingerless gloves. Beside him on the bench was a brown bag.

He was waiting for someone. He had received word from a contact to meet him there for an assignment. As soon as he'd been contacted he'd left for New York.

'Dante I presume?' A man in a white suit asked. He was a large bald man and his body looked strangely bigger than his head.

Dante looked at the man. 'Yeah and you are?'

'My name is Wilson Fisk I have a job for you.' The man said.

'OK. I figured that from your phone call. What do you need done?' Dante asked.

'Ah1 I like your attitude I can tell you and I are going to get along just fine' Fisk replied.

'Whatever, what's the job?' Dante asked growing impatient.

'Please not here get into my car and I'll explain all' Fisk said

Dante reluctantly stood up with the brown bag and followed Fisk to the car. A chauffeur was waiting by the door.

'May I take your bag sir?' he asked Dante.

'No thanks I'll keep it with me.' Dante replied as he climbed into the car.

The car started moving. Fisk poured himself a glass of whiskey. After a few minutes he spoke.

'Your assignment' he said as he handed Dante a folder. 'Read through it and tell me if you are willing to accept it.'

Dante quickly read through the folder not bothering to look at the pictures within. He waited for a second collecting his thoughts. The assignment was simple. Eliminate two targets. One was a superhero, Spiderman. The other a creature called venom.

'You're kidding right? I mean superheroes. They don't exist. It's stupid.' Dante said

'No. Spiderman is quite real and he has been a thorn in my side for too long. He needs to be terminated.' Fisk said.

'OK I'll destroy the big scary man' Dante said in a mocking voice. 'What about this other one?'

'Venom, or Eddie Brock as he once was, is a man who is being controlled by a symbiotic suit. Now he is nothing less than a raging beast and he threatens to destroy all of New York. The police can't do anything so I've been forced to take action against Venom.'

'OK I accept' Dante said 'but first there's the matter of payment.'

'As detailed in the folder $10,000' Fisk said

'Deal your practically giving the money away.' Dante said hurriedly.

'OK you will be staying at my personal penthouse. Anything you need will be payed for by me.' Fisk said

'Sweet free pizza for one' Dante laughed as the car stopped.

'As I said anything you need. If you need any information on the targets do not hesitate to contact me.' Fisk said

'Yeah OK' Dante said as he climbed out of the car with the bag and the folder.

He closed the door and watched as the car pulled away. Then he ran up to the penthouse.

He found a Credit card and a note on a table.

'This credit card is for ordering

your meals Dante. Do not lose it'

Wilson Fisk

'Sweet' Dante shouted as he picked up the phone to order a pizza for his dinner. 'Roll on an easy 10,000.'

He began to laugh as the phone continued to ring.

Ann Street, New York

'Send an ambulance' the police officer said 'there's been another killing'

'What was the cause of death?' the person on the other end asked

'Unknown but from the look of the area Venom was here' the officer said

'OK we'll send an ambulance and all available officers. Watch your backs he might come back.'
