This story is being written as a request from Swansong of Riverclan, basically he/she asked me to do a story about Iron Fist and Power Man's relationship. Now from the review I have a feeling they were angling for a romantic type of relationship, however I'm not doing that. Only because I see their relationship as best friends/practically brothers.
For Swansong, there are a couple of fics that focus on 'power fist' as you call them. There is a good one called 'Balancing Acts' by Misato. I have also read a couple of fics about their comic counterparts. If you are interested just type in Luke and Danny fics or their hero counterparts into google.
So, let's get to the disclaimer. I do not own Ultimate Spiderman or anything associated with it.
When observing Danny and Luke people tended to think of their relationship as being brotherly. They would protect each other and trusted each other completely, Danny even allowed Luke to throw him at people – how much more trust could you put into someone?
They were best friends and acted like they had been all their life, when Peter first joined the team he'd asked them how long they'd known each other, expecting the answer to be something along the lines of 'Oh since we were young'. It came as a shock to him to learn they'd only made friends a year previously, and considering the whole team had only known each other six months at that stage Peter had to get Danny to repeat it to make sure he wasn't going deaf.
It might have been because of the way they acted that people never thought that they were capable of hating each other. But they were and they had when they first met each other. Luke could still remember that day…
He was walking down the street when suddenly he heard the sound of fighting, nothing new, you got that kind of stuff all the time in New York, but still he decided a little investigating wouldn't go a miss.
It was a couple of teenagers, older than him, picking on a little kid who was probably about 10. Luke felt rage creeping up him. He hated bullies, they hadn't noticed him, neither had the kid who was too busy begging. Luke didn't even think, just slipping on his sunglasses to give his eyes a bit of protection before running towards them.
"HEY! PUNKS! PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE!"
They turned which gave Luke the perfect opportunity to connect his fist with the leaders face, breaking his nose instantly. There were two other guys who started on him as well, Luke focussed on getting them away from the child who by now was standing unstably.
Just as he was swinging one of them into a wall he heard a "K-YAH!" and turned just in time to see a green foot sail past him and knock out one of the guys, who Luke assumed had been about to knock him out.
The foot was attached to a boy who was about a head smaller than him and wore a green leotard, by the looks of it, with a dragon on it, and a green mask covering the top half of his head. He barely had time to ask what the boy thought he was doing when he heard the pitter-patter of feet and he turned to see the child running away.
'Nice to be thanked.' Luke thought to himself.
"Are you alright?" A voice said and Luke suddenly realised the guy in the leotard was next to him.
"I'm fine." He said shortly. Of course he was fine, he'd grown up on the streets, he was used to this kind of stuff.
"A fear of weakness only strengthens weakness." Was the reply he got. Luke understood what he was saying immediately and he didn't like it.
"I ain't week! I'm strong! Did you not see me throw that guy into a wall!? You know what – never mind. I don't need this, I'm outta here." And with that Luke stormed of, not even looking back at the other guy, a feeling of resentment and hate bubbling up in his chest.
That was the first time Luke and Danny met.
