Shadow Of The Scourge

It has been 15 years since the original Scourge organisation was put out of business by USAgent.

For the past 15 years the criminal underworld has been living in fear of the return of the Scourge organisation in fact some criminals are so paranoid that if you bring it up in a conversation with a criminal he will try to change the subject or if said criminal was up for a little "fun" the criminal will kill you where you stand; however all paranoia was dismissed as most past organisation operatives had either died in prison, reformed or had disappeared upon release from prison.

That is until know.

Bar With No Name, Medina County Ohio

19:00

The Bar with No Name, a name that sends chills up any criminal's spine, the sight of the Bar With No Name Massacre where 18 criminals where eliminated by a Scourge Agent disguised as the bartender, the real bartender was found later with a lot of bullet wounds, they tried to save him but he had lost to much blood.

Today the Bar was still in business but because of it's link to the original organisation it wasn't as popular with the criminal underground, today the Bar was the sight of a meeting between costumed criminals the criminals in attendance where:

Tombstone AKA Lonnie Thompson, a childhood friend of Robbie Robertson who became a hit man for the Mafia with his skin toughened by a chemical accident, he was among the best well known of Spider - Man's C - List villains.

Stilt - Man AKA Wilber Day, a disgruntled ex employee off Carl Kaxton, he stole plans for Hydraulic legs and used them construct a battle suit that a loud him grow to any height, he is among the most obscure villains in Daredevil's rouges Gallery.

Shocker AKA Herman Shultz, one of the oldest of Spider - Man's villains he used vibro shock gauntlets to open safes.

Aqueduct AKA Peter Van Zante, he controls water mentally and was originally known as Water Wizard, he almost a victim of the Bar With No Name Massacre but escaped thanks to a flat tire and went on to help Captain America capture the first Scourge.

Shotgun AKA J.R. Walker, Junior, an agent for an unknown secret service with questionable methods and enough weapons to invade a small country.

Right know they are talking about their recent defeats, little did they know that one of them was going to die.

"Stupid Spider - Man, stopping my bank robbery before I even got to the vault." Stilt - Man muttered.

"At least you don't scream like a little girl whenever you here a gunshot." Tombstone said smugly looking over at Shocker.

"I can't help it, I was this close to pushing up daises courtesy of a fake Scourge Agent." Shocker replied glairing at Tombstone.

"At least you didn't bump into Hulk whilst looking for this place, I had to use up half my grenades just trying to slow him down." Shotgun added.

Aqueduct stood up and went outside for a cigarette, little did he know that it would be his last.

"Any spare change?" Came an elderly voice, Aqueduct turned around and saw an elderly homeless man. "No, and even if I did I wouldn't waste it on you." "I have something for you though." The man said as he pulled out a Sawn off Shotgun, before the Super villain could make a move to defend himself the man shot him through the chest with an Explosive Bullet.

"Justice is served." The man, in reality a new Scourge Agent in disguise took off.

Cringe Worthy High, Queens, New York.

One of the most hated High Schools in New York because off the selfish principle, Cringe Worthy High had one of the highest drop out rates in New York, it's actual name was Crindory High it gained the nickname from not only the students but the media.

The focus is on a 17 year old Asian girl with Raven hair going down to her shoulders, she was wearing a black tank top, blue jeans and black boots, her name was Katrina Shung Low, known as Kat by her family and friends she came from a Wealthy Family, her mom owned a chemical company called Shung Chemical which was a business partner of Stark Enterprises.

When she turned five it was discovered that she was born with a genius level IQ, it was found out when she completed a complex puzzle that the teacher was trying to solve, a quick IQ test confirmed that her IQ was 240 and was transferred to a privert school in the city, Cringe Worthy High was latest in the long line of Schools she had transferred to having transferred a week ago.

Right know Kat was having trouble with her locker which was refusing to budge despite her best efforts and it was making her late for her class, finally the school janitor walked past.

"Excuse me." Kat asked, the janitor turned around. "My locker's stuck and it's making me late, can you help?" The janitor muttered and gave the locker a hard kick mirlacriosly opening it. "I'm going to have to remember that for next time." Kat quipped showing her sense of humour, she grabbed her books and ran towards her final class of the day Geography

She reached room 117 pretty quickly and entered unfortunately the teacher was their already. She explained why she was late and sat down, the class was over after an hour and Kat was on her way out when a male voice called out. "Hey Kat." Kat turned around and saw a tall boy her age with short dark brown hair and blue eyes, he was clad in a green jacket, with a black muscle shirt underneath, blue jeans and black boots, his name was Marco, he was a hacker and an excellent one at that but that was his only talent, he was nowhere as smart as Kat and as a result she helped him with his homework when it was required. "Yeah?" "Any chance of you helping me with my Science Homework?" "Sorry but my mom's showing me and Tony Stark around one of her factories." "Isn't that risky?" "My mom knows safety precautions like Ritchie Sambora knows how to do an excellent guitar solo. Plus Iron Man will be there so there's no risk unless a super villain bursts in."

"See you tomorrow then?" "It's a date." With that Kat walked towards her family's limo. "If only that wasn't her joking side." Marco sighed as he walked towards his dad's car.

Shung Chemical plant, Downtown Manhattan.

16:00

The limo pulled up at the massive plant, Kat stepped out along with her mom, she was the splitting image of Kat accept she was Caucasian, the two women entered the plant and waited for Tony. "Know Kat I want you on your best behaviour." "When have I never been on my best behaviour?" Kat asked jokingly. "Give me another five years and I'll have the list done." "Ha ha very funny."

"Ladies, so glad you could make it." It was Tony Stark AKA Iron Man, he walked towards the two and kissed Sandra's hand. "Where's Iron Man?" Kat asked plainly. "He's outside making sure there's no trouble."

Just then the far wall exploded and the former SHEILD agent known as Constrictor walked in. " Tony Stark, prepare to die." "Sandra, get Kat somewhere safe, I'm off to get Iron Man." With that Tony ran out, a few minutes later Iron Man came in. Constrictor grinned. "I was hoping to have some fun."

Next time on Shadow Of The Scourge.

Iron Man battles Constrictor but it goes wrong when someone outside off the battle is hit with a repulser blast but who?

Footnotes:

In this fic the Scourge controlled by Henry Peter Gyrich has been long since forgotten about.

Marco has a crush on Kat but is too embarrassed to tell her.

Kat gets her Asian Skin from her dad who's Chinese, he'll appear later in the fic.

I was originally going to use the High School Spider-Man went to but I forgot it's name.
