Chapter 1: Showdown At High Noon

Author's Note: Greetings true believers and thank you so much for visiting this story. So far I don't have much to say other than catch you up in a few little details in Peter's life. He's dating Gwen Stacy and he's been Spider-Man for 8 years. Other than that, you'll figure everything else out slowly! If you have any questions about this universe and story I will gladly answer it if it's spoiler free! Also some Spider-Man terminology for the non gamers since I stole some words.

Web-Zip: Kind of like grappling to a surface instantly

Other than that Enjoy and please review and I present to you Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!


New York City. Home to various movie stars, music icons and the infamous Spider-Man. Amazing. Spectacular. Friendly Neighborhood. For years Spider-Man's webs thwipped all across New York and left a web shaped shadow every day. But with such a force good, evil is bound to show it's horrid and ugly face again. Or it could be big round and stubby, like Wilson Fisk A.K.A The Kingpin Of Crime. For years he's had NYC under control and he's been pulling everyone's strings with his stubby fingers but not any longer. Not while Spider-Man exists.

"Calling all units we have a 444 at Fisk Tower. Additional units needed immediately. Multiple officers down."

Peter quickly slipped into his costume and leaped out his apartment window and into the streets of New York.


As he swung through the city pedestrians cheered and waved and cars honked. The cold breeze was almost intoxicating and the view from above was incredible. Spider-Man followed the police cars that sped down the road quickly. His suddenly his mask interface was changed when he saw George Stacy was calling and he answered.

"Hi Mr. Stacy I'm kind of busy like trying to stop Kingpin can we put a pin in this conversation, no puns intend-"

"Save it Peter. Just don't go after him. It's too dangerous. Every single time you've tried taking him down you've either come back barely in one piece or he got out of jail the next day."

"Captain, I have to stop him! I've been trying to get this overly sized penguin off the street for 8 years! It's now or never."

"Kid you need to understand that this is also having an effect on Gwen! You know she worries about you being Spider-Man. She'd rather Fisk be out here than you be six feet under. And so do I so please don't try to go after hi-"

The line crackled and there was a loud explosion before the phone was disconnected.

"Captain? Captain! Damn it!" cursed Spider-Man.

Spider-Man swung over to a nearby rooftop top and shot two webs at the edge of the roof and aimed himself for Fisk Tower. He then put himself in front of the webs and catapulted himself into the air. He soared through the air and crashed through the window of Fisk Tower. He landed on a desk, right in front of Kingpin.

"Willie! Pleasure to see you again old friend!" Spider-Man extended his hand for a handshake but Fisk ignored it and Spider-Man threw his hands up in annoyance. "Fine then, be like that. Don't come crying to me when I don't save you a slice of cake for your going to prison party. So, do you like the new suit? Had to make a new one after our last "playdate". Really? Still giving me the silent treatment?" Spider-Man hopped onto Kingpin's desk and he sat cross-legged.

Kingpin's face contorted into one of anger and he got up and grabbed his cane. "We have been doing this too long Spider-Man. I'm getting tired of your antics" he spat out distastefully. Kingpin walked away from Spider-Man and towards the door. He grabbed the doorknob and suddenly a web was fired at his hand and Kingpin looked back in annoyance at the wallcrawler.

Kingpin's hand curled into a fist and he yanked the web and Spider-Man came right with it. He then punched Spider-Man in the head, picked him up and threw him into a nearby shelf.

"You know I'm insulted you'd use the good ole' punch n' throw on an old friend like me? Don't tell me you're hero cheating on me? At least not with Daredevil!" Spider-Man sidestepped a punch and kicked the side of Fisk's head but he didn't flinch or show signs of pain.

"Will you just shut up for once?!" Kingpin through another punch that landed in Spider-Man's gut and another that was delivered to the jaw.

Why the hell isn't my Spider-Sense going off? thought Spider-Man.

Fisk ducked one of Spider-Man's kicks and delivered a flurry of punches to his chest, knocking him down to the floor. "I bet you're wondering why I'm dominating this fight right now. For eight years, I've studied you. Learned from every fight. Every talk. Every time you've saved everyone. You think I would risk everything in a unfair fist fight with you?"

Spider-Man quickly hopped back up to his feet."Well at least I knew it wasn't those Zumba lessons that was benefitting you in this fight."

Spider-Man charged at Kingpin and he went in for a kick but Kingpin sidestepped it and slammed him into the table. Kingpin grabbed Spider-Man's neck, picked him up and drove him through the table. Kingpin stood over Spider-Man, scowling and ready to finish the fight when suddenly a gunshot went off.

"Wilson Fisk, hands on your head and get on the floor now damn it!" ordered Captain Stacy. His gun was focused on Fisk as he slowly entered the room. Kingpin stayed still, still glaring at Spider-Man.

He then turned around unimpressed and annoyed at the officer. "Captain George Stacy of the NYPD. Father of Gwendolyn Stacy who currently is employed by Martha and Curt Connors. Do you truly want to do this? It won't end well for you whatsoever." He walked towards Captain Stacy who was now trembling before the crime lord. "Trust me when I say you will regret this. Hold your family close Captain. Especially Gwendolyn."

Tears welled up in Captain Stacy's eyes as Kingpin became closer to him. His hands were shaking and he was losing focus. "Y-you stay the hell away from Gwen you here me?! Stay away from her you bastard!"

Kingpin grabbed Stacy's gun and yanked it out his hands. "Oh Captain...your daughter's death will not be my own doing. No, no, no. It will be the arachnid's doing or it will be yours."

Kingpin tossed the gun to the floor and grabbed Captain Stacy by the neck and began to choke him. Stacy's face began to resemble the outside of an tomato and he was losing consciousness quickly.

Suddenly a web pulled Kingpin away from Captain Stacy and another web landed right on his face. "Ooh, sorry about that Willie I'm a premature webjaculator! Can't help it unfortunately."

Kingpin ripped the web off of his face and picked up the gun. He then turned to Captain Stacy and fired. Stacy fell to the ground, clutching his stomach, Spider-Man ran to Captain Stacy, and Kingpin ran out the door.

Spider-Man webbed Stacy's wound and knelt next to him.

"Oh-oh God. Captain Stacy I'm so sorry. Just stay awake okay? I'm gonna get you hel-"

"Peter... I'm gonna be fine. I've dealt with stuff like this before. Go be Spider-Man."


On the helipad of Fisk Tower, Kingpin is entering a helicopter when suddenly the blades were webbed up completely. Spider-Man was posed on top of an vent. He then hopped off of it and delivered a jaw breaking punch to Kingpin who stumbled. The crime boss then retaliated with many punches to the mid-section.

Spider-Man cracked his knuckles and stood in a cowboy like stance with his web shooters impersonating duel pistols. "There's only enough room in New York for one of us pinhead. And I ain't planning on leaving no time soon."

Kingpin only sighed in response and rolled his eyes. "Do you EVER do anything other than talk about nonsense like this?"

"I web up guys for a living and make quips. And I'm all out of quips."

Suddenly Spider-Man's Spider-Sense went off and he backflipped and noticed somebody had swung a sword at him. He landed in front of his attacker who was identified as Taskmaster.

"You too Taskmaster? Is every criminal and crooked cop in the city on Fisk's payroll now?" Spider-Man dodged another slash and delivered a punch to Taskmaster's jaw. He then shot a web at the sword and yanked it out of Taskmaster's hands. The hooded criminal lunged forward and jabbed Spider-Man and delivered a roundhouse kick that momentarily stunned the wallcrawler. Spider-Man then slid under Taskmaster's legs as he was getting back the sword and shot two web lines at his feet. Spidey pulled the webs and Taskmaster fell flat on his face and Spider-Man webbed him up.

Suddenly the helicopter was in the air and was beginning to leave but Spider-Man shot a web at it and tried to pull it back.

"Come on Spider-Man! I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this!" The costume began to rip as Spider-Man pulled the helicopter back. He screamed out in agony as the helicopter was forced back down on the helipad. Spider-Man collapsed to the ground and Kingpin stepped out the helicopter.

He immediately rushed Spider-Man with a brutal knee to the head and a punch to the stomach. Kingpin then picked up Spider-Man and threw him off the building. Last minute, Spider-Man shot a web and he pulled Fisk down with him. For what seemed like hours they fell from Fisk Tower, leaving everyone in awe.

Spider-Man woke up midair and began to panic. "Holy crap! I'M FALLING. Think Parker think!" As they fell closer to the ground Spider-Man focused on Kingpin. He then a shot a web bomb that hit Kingpin, sending him into the side of Fisk Tower. Spider-Man then landed on a nearby firetruck where he collapsed once again.


Moments later Captain Stacy approached him and nodded. "Good work kid." He then looked to Officer Watanabe and smiled while she was putting Kingpin in a prisoner transport car.

Spider-Man looked up breathless and tired and put a single thumb up.


One Hour Later

Gwen Stacy was glued to Peter's couch, watching the news coverage of the takedown of Kingpin. She grabbed another tissue from the tissue box, blew her nose and went back into the fetal position. Suddenly Spider-Man entered the room and a single tear fell from her eye. Spider-Man tore off the tattered and damaged mask, revealing himself to be none other than Peter Parker and he fell into Gwen's arms as they both cried silently.
