The hunt
*At the Daily Bugle*
Kraven slowly approaches J.J with a huge knife in his hand, admiring how beautiful it will work once its cover with blood.
"Look what do you want, I will do anything you ask!" J.J tries to bargain with Kraven while on his knees.
Kraven grabs him by his collar aggressively and growls at him. "Obviously you put a bounty up claiming whoever captures Spider-man will be paid handsomely. I'm here to tell you that you need to take that prize down because it will be me who will stomp that bug to death and obtain that reward with a bonus for wiping out the competition."
J.J eyes went wide. It's no secret he wants Spider-man behind bars, but he couldn't speak death towards him no matter how much he disliked the wall crawling menace. "That's not the deal, I will not work with murders like you, and even if you do kill Spider-man, I'm not adding any more money than I already had put out."
Hearing this did not make Kraven happy at all. "Is that so? Well, it looks like the hunter needs to make sure no one gets that reward and I will have to get it personally." With an evil smirk, Kraven raises the hand that has his knife in it and prepares to strike until he hears a too familiar voice, "See I told those zoo keepers to put extra locks on your cage for safe keeping."
Kraven quickly throws J.J away from him to face, as he would call him, the prey of the night. "You're in luck old man; you get to watch and see who's the real hunter and who's the prey." Both Spider-man and Kraven get into their fighting stances.
"Spider-man!? I ask for the police, and I get this?" J.J manages to blurt out right before Spider-man and Kraven attack each other.
The fight starts with Kraven attempting to slash at Spider-man, but thanks to his spider-sense, Spidey can dodge getting hurt until he shoots a web line at his weapon and webs it to the floor.
"You're slow Kraven; the mighty hunter lost his touch." Spider-man taunts, leading to Kraven to throw a mysterious bottle on the ground causing a yellow bear like aura to surround.
"You won't be laughing when I feast on your beating heart!" He roars activating his bear spell. He charges at Spider-man and spears him down though Spider-man kicks him off. Spidey notices his attacks are not as effective while Kraven has his bear shield up, so he switches to defense by allowing Kraven to strike at him only to reverse his strikes when an opening allows it. The bear spell finally wears out, but that doesn't stop Kraven from using another bottle that covers him in blue eagle like aura giving him the ability to soar.
Seeing how intense the fight was getting, J.J mutters to his self, "I'm out of here." and exits the room entering the other room hoping that he won't have to be caught up in action. However, while trying to attack Spider-man, Kraven misses him while doing a quick flight attack breaking through the door that J.J just went through hurting his self in the process.
"Where you going animal man, we not finish yet!" Spider-man chases after Kraven.
"Oh, but the end is near. Just you wait." Kraven throws his last bottle allowing his to now have a purple panther aura to him as his last effort to take down Spider-man for good. Thanks to the panther spell Kraven became much faster when it came to his attacks to where Spidey had a rough time avoiding his punches. Knowing that he needed to end this now, Spidey waits for the perfect moment and gives Kraven a huge uppercut following with a huge kick crashing him down to the ground knocking Kraven out for good.
"Yeah, I am so not going to the zoo anytime soon," Spidey mutters while catching his breath. He notices J.J hiding in the corner and walks over to check on him, much to his dislike.
"You okay over here in your hiding spot?" Spidey offers to help him up, but J.J isn't hearing it.
"I don't know what you're trying to pull by saving my life, but it won't work." J.J snaps at him.
"Yeah, because I so should have let Tarzan over there kill you, right?" Spider-man said with sarcasm as he backs away from the man who actually hates him. Out of nowhere, two police officers came in setting off Spidey's spider-sense. "You got to be kidding me."
"There he is officers, the man behind the science expo heist!" J.J points at Spider-man demanding they arrest him at once.
Suddenly someone else crashes through the building, stopping everyone in their tracks. "No one fires a single bullet!"
"Spider-woman!?" Spider-man yells in surprise.
Spider-woman quickly turns to him. "Go, I will handle this."
"How did..." Spider-man couldn't get his question out due to Spider-woman cutting him off, "Just go now before more shows up!"
"Alright, I'm going." Spider-man hurries out of the Bugle shooting a web line to web swing away from the building. Spidey starts thinking of Spider-woman helping him out just now.
"That was random, how did she know to find me at the Bugle." It was strange how lately it seems like Spider-woman was always at the right place at the right time when it came to him. His thoughts get interrupted when another hero jumps in front of him, not letting him pass.
"Hold it Spider-man. I don't want to believe that you pull off that heist, but I have to make sure, especially with that new costume." The man with no fear said firming catching Spider-man off guard.
"Daredevil? Look, I don't have time to explain. Though speaking of new costume, do you like the much improve suit?" Spider-man tries to strike a pose ignoring the fact that Daredevil is can't 100 percent see his new costume.
"I don't care. Just tell me your side of the story, then I will know if you are lying." Daredevil responds not in the mood for the childlike games from Spider-man if he is the real deal.
Spider-man gasps as he acts offended by the lack of interest from Daredevil concerning his costume. "Well with that attitude, how am I supposed to know you are the real Daredevil?"
"What?!" Hearing the shift in his tone makes Spider-man get back to serious mode. "Listen, it's true a Spider-man made off with Octavius tech, but that Spider-man is an imposter, while I'm the real one. Now why did the imposter does what he or she did, I don't know yet, but if you stop me, then it will be too late."
Without giving his argument a second thought, Daredevil swiftly tells him, "In that case, it looks like you need to go and clear your name fast!"
Spider-man blinks a few times not registering what just happen. "Wait just like that you believe me?"
"I don't have to believe you I know you aren't lying." Daredevil answers him calmly.
"How?" Spider-man asks still confuse.
"Just like you I can't explain everything right now, just know you have your superpowers, and I got mine. With that said I would help spread the word about your innocence around in the superhero community, not that it will help since the Avengers aren't around. Good luck anyways!" Daredevil explains before taking off.
"It would be nice to be part the Avengers right now, that way they could help clear my name." Spidey sighs as he turns to walk away only to be stopped by a police copper appearing right in front of him. "Oh crap!"
Author's note: No, I'm not dead or anything, just a lot has been going on this past month in my life concerning work, trying to pay for my class, and getting my future setup. Which why I haven't updated, and I somewhat had lost my writing groove, so hopefully I can get it back going. Not a long update but a filter is better than nothing. I'm not promising I'm back writing full time, but this was somewhat my way to let all of you know I'm not gone.
The next chapter will see an old enemy, who will play a significant role in the relationship between Peter and Jessica, and friend making their appearance.
