Trusting Peter Parker/Spider-Man, the four dragons go to the building where he's waiting for them. What they didn't expect was finding a man in blue wearing an eyepatch.
"Spidey, who's that guy?" Jake asks.
"I am Nick Fury." The man in blue answers. "Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"What's this shield?" Lao Shi asks. "And how come you're alive? I've read about your death several months ago."
"That's what I want the people to think." Fury answers. "About the S.H.I.E.L.D., I can fill you about it back in our headquarters. Please follow me.
The dragons stare at Spider-Man like they were waiting for his approval. After he nods, they agree to follow Fury. While Fury uses his jet-pack, the dragons fly after him with Spider-Man riding on Jake's back.
"Can't you simply use your webs?" Jake asks.
"They can't take me where he's going." Spider-Man explains, much to Jake's confusion.
The dragons are surprised as Nick Fury leads them to a flying fortress. "Welcome to the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D." Fury says as they enter the base. "We are a government organization. We're so secret our existence is kept hidden from both the CIA and the FBI. We've been aware of the existence of dragons ever since the Huntsclan unsuccessfully tried to obtain information from a Jonathan Long back in 1986."
Sun, Lao Shi and Haley glare at Jake upon hearing this.
"We have been following Jonathan Long since that day until the moment we found out your secret, Luong Lao Shi." Nick tells the eldest dragon, shocking him.
"You knew it?" Lao Shi asks.
"Why did you never try to capture us?" Jake asks.
"Did you want me to do that?" Nick Fury asks in reply.
"No." Jake sheepishly answers.
"Anyway, our orders were only to spy on you to be sure whatever you posed a threat or not." Fury explains. "And based on our evaluations we'd better not to interfere with your lives unless it became necessary for the world's sake. And I believe that's the case given the humanity's newly acquired knowledge of the existence of dragons."
"A very wise decision, Agent Fury." Lao Shi comments. "But what can we do? The Kingpin is holding my grandchildren's parents hostages to coerce us into burning down the Statue of Liberty."
Nick Fury is shocked at this. "We can try to rescue them. In fact, our intelligence had figured out the Kingpin was planning something big so we brought some extra help."
Four more figures appear and Spider-Man seems to recognize them. "Daredevil? Iron Man? War Machine? Black Kat?"
"Daredevil and Black Kat have their own reasons to hate the Kingpin." Fury explains. "And War Machine and Iron Man already help us on occasion."
"Really?" Spider-Man asks. "I thought the last two only worked for Tony Stark."
"Stark Industries has a big contract with the government." Fury explains.
"I see." Spider-Man comments.
"And we brought an extra help." Nick Fury adds. Jake is particularly shocked when he learns who the extra help is.
LINE BREAK – The Kingpin's Lair
"Everything is going like I planned." The Kingpin comments. "I will soon take over the world."
"You'll need more than an evil fire-breathing dragon and her clones." Jonathan bravely replies.
"I agree." The Kingpin calmly says. "That's why I've brought some reinforcement." He introduces them as they enter. "You already know Rhino." Jonathan and Susan angrily glare at him. "These are Shocker and the Vulture. They kept Spider-Man and that son of yours from interfering with Miss Chang's assault on the Empire State Building." He notices Jonathan and Susan's looks. "Don't worry. He's all right. For a while. This is the Scorpion. He's a neogenically changed individual who hopes of someday becoming a normal human again."
"Why would anyone so powerful want to become a mere human being is beyond me." Chang comments.
"This is Dr. Octopus." The Kingpin says as another villain appears. "These are five of the original Insidious Six. Chang is now the sixth insidious."
Chang is now worried. With all these villains around it'll be harder to overpower the Kingpin. Suddenly an alarm rings. The Insidious Six (minus Chang) leave the Kingpin's office to search for intruders.
"Why didn't you go with them?" The Kingpin asks.
"Because I have a better plan." Chang answers. "With an army of dragons on my side I don't have to obey a human like you. Give me the command of your organization or else."
"Or else what?" The Kingpin asks, not seeming to be worried.
Chang tries to command her clones to attack him but she feels some kind of pain.
"Miss Chang, did you really believe that neural interface was merely a way to help you to control your clones?" The Kingpin asks with a malicious smile and Chang seems to understand his point. "It was also a way to keep you from betraying me."
Meanwhile, our heroes are inside the Kingpin's Lair trying to find and rescue Jonathan and Susan Long. Suddenly, someone tries to hit the Daredevil from behind him but the blind hero is able to feel his attacker's presence and defends himself.
Who do you think that attacked the Daredevil? Who's that extra help? Does anyone think I'm adding too many characters? Please review.
