Peter and Ava were continuing their date, although now things have escalated to the roof tops, as Spider-man and White Tiger sprinted across the roofs "this is your idea of a date!" Spider-man exclaimed. He leapt over a gated balcony and sprung upward "exercise is not my idea of a good time Tiger" he panted.
White Tiger cartwheeled onto the upper balcony landing beside Spider-man. "too bad web head I'm having a great time" Tiger replied happily. They took a minute to stop and look over the city scape the lights bounced off the windows of nearby buildings "city always looks so peaceful from up here" she sighed, memorised by post card image before her.
"yeah, usually does…until you hit street level" Spider-man responded "that's actually why I prefer to swing so high so for a few seconds a day I don't have to see New York's under belly"
Tiger turned to look at Spider-man she had come to know a fair bit about him, his character and reasoning among other qualities, so she didn't take a bite at him for implying he ignored the city once in awhile. Without warning Tiger hopped onto the balcony ledge and jumped for the scaffolding on the other side of the street. She grabbed a support pole swinging around before launching onto a lower building. Tiger set of in a dead run taunting Spider-man to run after her it was time for her favourite game, the hunting Tiger. The building was unfinished and empty, much to Tigers delight, it was dark and dusty mostly dark. Her hunting instincts took their role letting her see in the veil of the darkness waiting for the web slinger.
Spider-man followed in shortly after her back flipping from his web line to a perfect landing "ok Tiger this is a little unnerving it's dark and abandoned, every horror movie I've seen the funny guy always get it in an empty dark place" he yelled.
"Ahaha your scared web head?" tiger maniacally laughs from her hiding place "you should be! But for the record you wouldn't be the funny guy in a movie…you'd be the hopeless nerd who somehow survives the massacre"
"and she would be the creepy murder hiding in the bushes at the summer camp"
Realising he was a disadvantage due to Avas tiger eyes Spider-man activated his night vision lenses "here kitty kitty" he taunted.
A low aggressive growl resonated from Tiger as she swiftly crawled along the vent ducts sneaking over Spider-man ready to pounce like a tiger on the hunt for its prey. her claws slowly extended, her vision isolated solely on her target "ok web head here I come" she whispers to herself. Tiger was ready when Spider-man spun on his heels firing a web glob right at her, "damn it!" Tiger threw herself backwards to dodge the web glob dropping to the floor instantly pouncing at Spider-man who simultaneously leapt to the roof. The two looked at one another, trying to figure out how they were going out due the other in this game of cat and mouse (or rather Spider in this case).
"one way or another web head were going to resolve this so you may as well come down here and man up" Tiger ordered "cause if I have to come up there you won't like what happens!"
"oooh feisty kitty" Spider-man teases wagging his finger at her "it's not nice to threaten people young lady"
"smart ass" tiger scoffed "well don't say I didn't warn you!" she jumped at Spider-man slashing her claws, not at him but the water main next to his face, cutting through the pipe unleashing a strong burst of water unto the wall crawlers face. The water pushed him from his perch to the cold hard ground only a mere 5 feet from where Tiger stood, "so I guess it's true then? The song about the spider and the water spout?" she lightly chuckled staring down on him.
("ordinarily I'd resent nursery rhyme jokes. But you gotta give her this one, hell she used a water prop to make it work")
"not bad Tiger not bad at all but you forgot something" Spider-man grinned.
"oh? And what's that web head?" Tiger asked, she was genuinely curious. his tone suggested that he somehow, soaking wet and all worked out a plan to win at her game.
The lenses on his mask slightly narrowed as his shooter slowly arched toward Tiger "well see tiger the thing is I am a science guy and one of the most experimented topics of a young scientist, and young scientist heroes is well…electricity" he unleashed a short jolt of electricity from his Taser webs into the slowly growing pool around tigers feet. The surge hit Tigers feet sending her straight for rafters like a scared monkey.
"you jerk! Ah ouch that really hurt Parker!" she hissed "damn it!"
"so…I win?" Spidey laughed.
"grrr" Tigers beastly growl filled the room chasing the atmosphere into danger territory "run bug breath, as fast as you can run cause now I'm not playing nice!" she roared.
(chibi spidey stood wide eyed and petrified "run away! run away!")
*gulp* "bye!" as fast as his legs could carry him Spider-man ran for the window opening at the end of building. An animalistic roar erupted shattering the silence sending chills right through Spider-man, like a lightning bolt of ice shooting through his heart into every inch of his body. He didn't need his spider sense to alert him to this impending threat he could her the growling clear to long island and it was terrifying.
"oh god no!" Spider-man dove from the window racing straight down to the pavement. Debating what was the more painful way out, the pavement or Tigers claws. The street was getting bigger and bigger 100 feet, 65 feet, the wind was whipping past his ears but he still wasn't backing out 50 feet enclosing.
"WEB HEAD!"
Finally a web line found its way to a nearby gargoyle and Spider-man was rapidly swinging into a far launching arc. He landed on the side of toomes electronics building without cracking a single window "phew…kinda fell asleep on that one" he nervously laughed to himself "but at least here I'm safe from Tigers wrath"
While Peter endured the hunt in the concrete jungle of New York City Taskmaster was on his own hunt in central America. Through countless pages of S.H.I.E.D personal files he had found enough information to attain his target. In this small costal town was a tiny graveyard, while most of the neighbourhood was in ruins of poverty the cemetery seemed to be well maintained, respectfully. The tombstones were scrapped and brushed to near perfection, this was a place of great respect by the people around it.
The White Tiger burial ground, a sacred site in Rio the hero of the people and the hero was always held in highest honours. Taskmaster browsed the headstones he needed one name, one name in particular finally he stopped at a grave site "here. Dig it up recover what I need and make sure the good Dr. is ready I will witness his Neo-genetics theory first hand"
His men began plunging their shovels into the tough soil working to uncover their masters target. An hour slowly passed when finally their shovels struck something solid "sir we have it!" one of the men eagerly shouted. Taskmaster approached the grave a sinister smile formed under his mask he looked down at the pit and tomb below him. he was getting closer to completing his objective. "secure enough usable samples and lets go"
The men did as their master instructed collecting as much samples as they could before vacating the grave. The grave stone read, HECTOR AYALA.
(Oscorp industries daily bugle press conference)
Harry Osborn has called a press conference at his new training facility, the super criminal containment police force, he was unveiling his new investment in combating super powered humans.
"as you can see ladies and gentlemen my new SCCPD force is equipped with every advantage and technology required and unlike SHIELDs hero program my unit is made of former military and police. Average everyday heroes! You saw their effectiveness against Electro, fast, fluid and effective my new task force contained, captured and neutralised Electro of his enhanced powers without damage to the city, and while he may still retain his genetic alteration Oscorp is working to correct his ailments. Because at Oscorp we want to help rehabilitate our former civilians unlike Nick Fury and SHIELD whose agenda is too just capture and lock them away. so to the people of New York City…my people I say this we don't need super heroes involving themselves and destroying our homes!"
A slide show of a city lifting high off the ground flashed behind Osborn's head followed by a heli-carrier crashing into Washington State then multiple scenes of New York City in destruction.
"The Avengers destroyed a city in Skovia because of Tony Starks arrogance in creating a robotic replacement! Captain America leveled most of D.C because Shield was infected by Hydra agents! And Spider-man along with the Hulk cause mass damage on a regular basis! People can we really keep trusting super powered beings who refuse to be able to be accountable for their actions? They were masks to hide from responsibility! My men are here training we offer walk in and school tours so you can meet your protectors and know that Oscorp will be footing the bills not you the tax payers!
And now without further ado ladies and gentlemen the SCCPD or for the more accurate namesake the TASKMASTERS"
A squadron of the armoured enforcers took the stage carrying different weapons, "first is our knuckle buster brawlers these suits are designed to absorb the impact shock of the hulks charted strength and the gauntlets let the wearer fight on equal grounds"
"next is our mighty eagle flight suits, based of Adrien tombs Vulture flight suit Oscorp has tweaked it to fly faster and higher than Falcon"
"you've all seen our e.m.p bullets enough pulse power to shut down a legion of these!" Harry boasted as a giant suit rose to the stage, the sheer size dwarfed the Ironman and war-machine suits "this is Oscorps iron enforcer armour is 3 times denser than ironman and war-machines weapons are calibrated with smart technology they strike what the wearer commands, no more collateral damage."
"at Oscorp we've only begun to crack the limit of powers we can replicate and place in more capable hands so I ask you the people of this great city should Nick Fury hand over the files of his Avengers initiative for our soldiers to allow us better grounds of combating the super criminals of equal abilities or do we keep letting these so called heroes run amuck?"
The crowed exploded in a cheer and chant "Taskmasters, Taskmasters!" their chanting brought a snake like smile to Harrys pale face if there was anything he good at it was getting what he wanted.
Taskmasters men have dug up the Grave of Hector Ayala, whats his reasoning for this? why hector?
Osborn has revealed his new SCCPD or Taskmasters demanding Shields files to further their development and some people are in agreement
Peter and Avas date seems to have gone...would you say it went well?
