Chapter 11: Reckoning

It had been a few hours since the Green Goblin attacked the neighborhood in Queens. There were police searching the entire neighborhood in search of anything they could use to find the culprit responsible for the destruction. So far there was nothing and it the whole situation was getting plenty of attention from the press and the public.

The next day, the Daily Bugle had published a new headline reading 'Giant Green Goblin and Spider Menaces terrorize local Queens neighborhood.' Despite the headline, the spiders and Death Whisperer knew exactly who was behind the whole thing from the beginning. They knew that Norman Osborne had started Project Onyx to make a new Super Soldier, and they now knew that without the catalyst the experiments wouldn't go according to their original plan.

Even though today was Thursday and Peter was the only one out of the spiders to be attending school for the past month, this didn't stop Aiden and Ariel from searching for an ally. The two went to Manhattan by themselves in their costumes and were on the hunt for Nightshadow. Since this would be the one of first times they would go out in broad daylight, they kept themselves high above the ground so nobody would see them. That didn't stop crime from happening down on the streets below.

They swung by every known location that they've interacted with Nightshadow, but despite their best efforts, they still couldn't find her anywhere. They stopped and landed atop one of the buildings overlooking Central Park.

"So when we don't want to see her she shows up," Spider-Chick started in a frustrated tone, "but when we actually look for her, she's impossible to find? WTF Arachnid. Just, WTF."

Arachnid, trying not to laugh, nodded to her and sat down on the ledge. "You'd think since her sister was attacked and we showed up to stop it all, she'd be eager to talk to us."

Spider-Chick shrugged it off and laid down on her back on the ground next to him. "Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to us. I mean last time we were all together, her and whats his name were attacking us, Kingpins men were shooting at us, and you made off with her sister while all she could do was get herself out of there."

"Well when you put it like that." Arachnid said as he watched the city and its people walking to wherever they were going. It never surprised him how the people of New York took the actions of super heroes very lightly.

The two stayed there for a while before deciding to search some more. They checked at Fisk Tower after a few more failed attempts at finding Nightshadow. They were surprised that the tower was still completely intact even though she took Fisk's weapons not to long ago.

They went to the top of the tower to check exactly if something was going on. To their surprise there was no one at the top floor or outside the room. Since that was the case they went inside through a window they opened. Once inside, they searched the entire room to find that it was completely stripped clean of anything that used to be in there. The two went to the exit and peeked out for an instant. There was nothing Spider-Chick could see that could hurt them, and everything was completely dark.

"Maybe big, fat, and bald forgot to pay his electric bill." Spider-Chick joked.

Both of them walked down the hall and searched every possible area of the top floor, but couldn't find a single person. All they could find was empty and messy rooms. It wasn't long before they stopped in the hall to wonder where everyone was. They were cutoff when they heard the sound of a man screaming in pain. The spiders ran down the hall in search of where the sound was coming from. Once they were close, Spider-Chick used her spider sense and saw two people behind a wall not to far from them. She informed Arachnid and the two broke through the wall to find Wilson Fisk and the woman from the night Spider-Chick saw Alexa in the tower. Fisk was tied down to a cast iron post embedded into to the floor, and he was missing his right arm. The woman was holding one of the weapons from Fisk's smuggling operation.

The woman had her hair down and had a very crazed look on her face. Almost as if whatever she was doing to Fisk was enjoyable. She got one good look at the two spiders and pointed the weapon towards them.

"YOU TWO ARE NOT RUINING THIS FOR ME!" She shouted at them. She fired the laser at the two, but they dodged the wide beam and managed to get the weapon out of her hand with Arachnids webs.

Spider-Chick used her speed to her advantage and kicked the woman out of the room through the hole in the wall.

"You take care Fisk," she said to Arachnid, "she's mine."

Spider-Chick ran to the downed woman only to sense that she had multiple weapons on her person. The woman rose up fast and had another one of those weapons in her hand. She fired at Spider-Chick and frantically tried to hit her, but Spider-Chick was too fast for her to catch.

"No you don't," the woman said once Spider-Chick started to make her way closer to her. The woman pulled out a detonator and pressed the button. Suddenly the entire building began to shake as the bottom level began to cave in.

"What did you just do?" Spider-Chick asked her frantically.

"Fisk ruined my life," the woman started while throwing her weapons away, "now I'm going to end his."

"Nightshadow," Spider-Chick said as she was trying not to fall to the crumbling floor. "We know what he and Osborne did to you, but killing him and hundreds of innocent people won't change that."

"Whoever said I was killing hundreds of people. The building was evacuated twenty five minutes ago."

"Then what do you have to gain from all this?" Spider-Chick asked while making sure Arachnid was okay.

"Peace." Nightshadow said. "I know what my sister and you three did last night, and I'm going to do what I did to Fisk ten times as worse to Osborne." She ran to one of the crumbling offices and jumped through the wall and out to a rooftop.

"Dammit."Spider-Chick started. "Can you get Fisk?"

"Well if the collapsing building doesn't kill him first, the blood loss will." Arachnid had Fisk over his shoulder but was having no luck carrying the massive man out of the building fast enough.

Spider-Chick ran over to him and picked Fisk up over her shoulder with ease. They both made their way to an opening and swung outside. Once they were in a safe area to set Fisk down, all they could do was watch as Fisk Towers came down on itself. Despite Nightshadow's best efforts, Fisk was still alive but barely.

"Someone call an ambulance." Arachnid said while they were being watched by the people on the street. It didn't take long for the police and fire department to show up to try and sort this all out.

"Freeze!" One of the officers yelled at the two spiders. The police had them nearly surrounded and were prepared to take them down.

Before they could let off a shot, both Spider-Chick and Arachnid leapt up and swung away from them in search of Nightshadow. They swung with Spider-Chick ahead using her spider sense to try and track her down. It didn't take long for her to find Nightshadow leaping from building to building heading straight towards Oscorp.

"Got her." She said to Arachnid.

The two swung down and landed around her. Spider-Chic stood in front while Arachnid stayed behind Nightshadow.

"Fisk is probably not dead is he?" Nightshadow asked them.

"An ambulance is going to take care of him." Arachnid started. "What exactly are you going to do to Osborne?"

"Kill him, and end all of this."

"You really think just because you take out Osborne that the whole project will just end?" Spider-Chick asked her.

"I'm not just taking out Osborne." She pulled out another detonator from under her skirt. "I'm destroying everything he stands for."

Suddenly and without warning, Arachnid lunged at her and attempted to grab the detonator, but she was too fast for. She kicked him and sent him flying off the building. Luckily for him he stuck tot the wall just in time.

Spider-Chick then proceeded to lunge at her as well, but since she's fought and beaten Nightshadow before, avoiding her attacks was easy for the orange spider. She gabbed at Nightshadow's hand that had the detonator. The two stared each other down for a split second before fighting each other. Despite only having one hand for now, Nightshadow was still a very dangerous foe, even in a skirt.

"You're not killing hundreds of innocent people for the actions of one dude!" Spider-Chick yelled at her in anger.

Nightshadow didn't respond as they both continued to clash again and again. Eventually Arachnid made his way back up to the roof and began to assist his partner. They were both more than a match for Nightshadow and soon after overpowered her. Spider-Chick was able to get the detonator out of her hand, and Arachnid caught it at the last second right before it went off the edge.

"Well that was close." He said.

"Why," Nightshadow started, "why won't you two just leave me and my personal business alone? Why do you protect men like Fist and Osborne, and Alexa?" Her voice cracked at the mention of Alexa's name. It brought her down to her knees and she started to get teary eyed. "Oh, what she think of me now?"

"I'd think that you should have left with me when you had the chance." A voice said from behind the spiders.

They both turned around and saw Death Whisperer standing right behind them in full costume. She looked at them and walked passed the two toward Nightshadow. She knelt down to her and started to talk to a surprised and crying Nightshadow.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it Trisha?" She said to her.

While Death Whisperer was conveying onto her sister, Arachnid's spider sense went off. He saw the Green Goblin leaping for an attack behind them in a few seconds.

"Spider-Chick, behind us." He said to her. They both turned around and saw the Goblin leaping from Oscorp straight to them.

They jumped out of his way and prepared themselves for another fight with the Goblin.

"So now you truly show yourself Death Whisperer." Goblin said with an evil grin. "Or do you prefer Alexa?"

Death Whisperer stood up and faced him. "You really think that just because I threw that life away years ago, that I forgot or forgive any of you for the things you've done?" She took off her mask and looked the Goblin right in his eyes. She didn't back down her gaze even for a second. She gave him that glare that was again too familiar to the spiders, and once again sent chills up their spines.

"I already know how this whole thing is going to end Osborn." She said as she pulled out her own detonator from behind her. Both the Goblin and the spiders were surprised at what she was about to do. "It ends with my reckoning."

She pushed the button and explosions inside the tower were visible to everyone. The explosions weren't at the bottom of the tower though, they were on certain floors of the building. Goblin turned to his tower and screamed.

The spiders and Trisha looked at Alexa in shock and confusion, but Alexa's gaze was still on Osborne and didn't strafe away even with all the explosions.

Goblin turned toward her in anger and rage, but all Alexa did was stand there and she said to him. "You know exactly what rooms those were Osborne. All that research, on those samples, all those experiments, all of that data, and all of that backed up data, gone. Lost to all of you, forever."

"I'LL BURN YOU ALL! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!" Goblin jumped to them, but he was cut off by Spider-Chick, Arachnid and a web line that came from an incoming Spider-Man. The battle between them was now about to ensue.
