The Invincible Spider-Man

Chapter 11

Homecoming was tomorrow. The school was in utter chaos for preparation, as Liz organized everything. Harry, Gwen, Hobie and Flash were all running helter-skelter in order to put the banner up. Carl was there just to eat, while other students put up balloons and other decorations.

The only student missing, was Peter Parker.

"I wonder where Peter has gone off to? He always seems to be disappearing like this." Said Gwen.

"He just has a lot on his plate, especially after yesterday's meltdown. I'm sure glad the school forgot about that." Replied Harry.

"Figures. I was going to ask him if he was going to go to Homecoming with me. Guess I'm all out of luck." Sighed Gwen.

"Hey, don't look so down, Gwen. I'm sure someone will ask you out." Said Hobie, trying to cheer her up.

"Yeah. As much as I hate to admit it, I do feel bad for Parker." Admitted Flash.

"Wow. Now that's something I never thought I'd hear the great Flash Thompson say!" Chuckled Harry.

As all the other students were preparing for Homecoming that evening, Peter was watching them from the skylight above the gymnasium. He sighed as he saw Liz with Hobie, and put on his mask.

"Hobie's a great guy, but c'mon!" Sighed Peter, as he put on his mask and swung away.

"Goddamnit Fisk! How do I take you down?" Thought Peter, as he called up Captain Stacy.

"Spider-Man? What's wrong?"

"The gang war is escalating. I need to put Fisk away before it threatens all of New York. He basically owns half of the police force, so how do I get him arrested?" Asked Peter.

"You're gonna need hard evidence. Evidence that cannot be explained by his lawyers." Replied George. "And there's only one place you can get that."

"Fisk Tower. Well, looks like I'm headed for the belly of the beast! Hopefully, the belly is as big as Fisk's." Joked Spider-Man.

George chuckled and hung up. Spider-Man decided to call Daredevil and see what he was doing.

"Matt, I'm headed to Fisk Tower to get evidence to expose him. Where are you?"

"Peter. I'm heading to Chinatown. A restaurant called The Red Lantern is a front for The Hand. I'll call you once I'm done with them." Said Matt, as he cut the call and went through the top window of the restaurant, which was completely empty.

"Okay, but I'm sending a friend there just in case. You can trust him." Said Peter, as he cut the call.

Tables and chairs were arranged normally, with red lanterns hanging from the ceiling.

That's when Daredevil's Radar Sense went crazy, as he recognized a familiar sound. The sound of a Sai cutting through the air. Daredevil quickly moved to the side as the silent ninja's Sai missed Daredevil. Matt grabbed the arm of the ninja and slammed it to the table, breaking it, as the ninja yelled in pain.

"Where's Owlsley?" Asked Daredevil. "You've got 204 more bones which I can break. Now tell me where is he!" He threatened.

"Downstairs! But there's more like me!" Protested the ninja.

"I'm counting on it." Said Matt, as he slammed the ninja's head to the table, then made his way down to the basement.

Five more ninjas came, but Daredevil managed to take them all down with a series of kicks and flips. Soon enough, all 5 of them were groaning on the floor in pain, and Daredevil hadn't even broken a sweat.

Down in the basement, everything was silent. Matt couldn't hear a thing. But, he was able to smell gasoline. A lot of it.

That's when Matt finally heard something: A spark of fire.

Before he knew it, he was surrounded by flames, and he heard a heartbeat. A person was standing in front of him.

"Your time is over." Said the person.

Matt's eyes went wide. "Elektra?"

"I'm sorry for what I am about to do, but it has to be done for The Hand!" Shouted Elektra, as she stabbed Matt in the leg.

Daredevil groaned by the pain. He was overwhelmed by the sound of the fire, and since all of his senses were heightened, the warmth from the fire was making his hot, and gave him a burning sensation.

Elektra kicked him down. "You will pay for joining The Chaste!" Said Elektra, as she brought down her Sai on Daredevil's chest. However, Matt kicked the Sai out of her hand and into the fire.

He stood up. "Elektra please, snap out of it! It's me, Matt!" Pleaded Daredevil.

Elektra stopped for a second. "Who?" She asked.

"Matt Murdock! We were both trained by Stick, we fought crime and then The Owl killed you! Please remember, Elektra!" Continued Daredevil.

Elektra hesitated for a second, then took out a smoke pellet, and threw it on the ground. She vanished, leaving Matt in the smoke and fire.

Daredevil managed to make it out of the restaurant, gasping for air as he fell to the ground. Luckily, Spider-Man had sent a friend to help: George Stacy.

George quickly rushed to Daredevil's side and helped him up. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"It was a trap. Owlsley knew we were coming. Did Spider-Man send you?" Asked Daredevil.

"Yeah. He's headed to Fisk Tower to gather evidence on Kingpin." Replied George.

"Shit! He's in danger!" Exclaimed Matt, as he rushed away.

Spider-Man slowly crawled through the window of Fisk Tower, and to the main server room.

"Voila! The server room should have all of the evidence I need to put Fisk away." Said Spider-Man, as he approached the huge computer and inserted a pen drive, copying all of the criminal data in the server.

"Perfect, now to-"

Before Spider-Man could even complete his thought, he was swept into a wall by a huge wave of sand.

"Oh Jesus Christ, can't you give me a freaking break?!" Shouted Spider-Man, as Sandman and Vulture stood before him.

"Let's show this bug what it means to mess with The Kingpin!" Said Sandman, as he aimed a cannonball of sand at Spider-Man, who dodged at the right time.

"THAT'S IT!" Shouted Vulture, as he swooped towards Spider-Man, grabbed him and went through the glass building, out into the air.

"I've had enough of you!" Yelled Vulture, as he slammed Spider-Man's face to a wall, but this time Peter was ready. He grabbed Vulture's talons and pulled at them, causing Vulture to yelp in pain, and let go as Spider-Man fell to the streets below.

In the nick of time, Peter shot a web at a building and swung away, barely missing the street below.

However, he swung straight into a wall of sand, as Sandman grabbed his legs and threw him into a lamppost.

Just as Sandman was about to hit Peter, he backflipped out of the way. Spider-Man shot two webs, and they went through Sandman.

"That won't hurt me, freak!" Taunted Sandman

"I wasn't trying to!" Replied Spider-Man. The webs which went through Sandman attached to another lamppost, and Peter pulled them down, straight onto Sandman's head.

"Ungfff!" Said Sandman, as he fell to the ground.

That's when Vulture came swooping, aiming all of his metal feather-knives towards Spider-Man.

In an instant, all of the metal feathers from Vulture's wings were being aimed at Spider-Man, who managed to dodge most of them. He webbed up two of them, and swung them back at Vulture, hitting Adrian's wings.

"AAGH!" Shouted Vulture.

Sandman got up and aimed a barrage of Sandballs towards Spider-Man, who jumped out of the way.

All of the sandballs hit Vulture, who went flying into a car.

"You'll pay for this, you little shit!" Yelled Sandman, as he turned himself into a huge boulder of sand and raced towards Spider-Man.

"Oh shit!" Said Peter, as the ball hit him, and he went barrelling down the street.

Vulture got back up. "This is the end for you, Spider-Man!" He exclaimed, swooping straight towards him. However, Spider-Man jumped above Toomes and landed on his harness. Peter shot two webs, at Vulture's wings, and began to steer him, right towards Sandman at an insanely high speed.

"What are you doing?!" Blurted out Vulture.

"Sandies and old men, fasten your seatbelts!" Exclaimed Spider-Man, as he steered Vulture straight towards Sandman. Peter jumped off just at the right time as Vulture crashed into Sandman's face, knocking both of them out of the fight.

Daredevil landed next to Spider-Man. "It was a trap. I'm glad you were able to take those two down, though." He said.

Spider-Man chuckled. "Nice try, but that trick isn't gonna work again, Chameleon!"

Spider-Man shot a web at Daredevil's mask and pulled it down, revealing Chameleon's white mask.

All of a sudden, Shocker appeared out of nowhere and vibro-blasted Spider-Man with the biggest shockwave he had ever created.

Spider-Man was hurled straight to Central Park, and into a tree.

"Unhhh…goddamnit…" Groaned Peter, as he got back up to his feet.

Chameleon kicked Peter back into the tree. Peter tried to dodge, but Chameleon used the web shooters that he stole from Spider-Man in their last encounter to push him back to the ground. Shocker vibro-punched him down.

Spider-Man kicked Chameleon's knees and got back up. Then, jumped over Shocker, and kicked him away.

Chameleon swung over to Spider-Man and shot a web, but Spider-Man jumped out of the way, grabbed the web and pulled it towards him, kicking Chameleon in the face.

Shocker blasted another shockwave, but this time Peter moved out of the way and it hit Chameleon, knocking him out.

"Huh?! Oh shi-"

Spider-Man kicked Shocker in the face, cracking his helmet into two. He then brutally pulled the gauntlets off of Shocker, and delivered a devastating blow to his face, knocking out Herman.

"Bet you're shocked I was able to beat you, huh? Oh man, I think you cracked all of my ribs!" Chuckled Spider-Man.

That's when the real Daredevil showed up, and saw Chameleon lying unconscious wearing Matt's suit.

"He's got to stop impersonating me." Said Daredevil.

"Good news is, The Frightful Four are down for the count. Bad news is, Fisk is nowhere to be found." Said Peter.

"Same thing with Owl. We need to find them quick. Thanks for sending Captain Stacy to help." Said Daredevil.

"Thanks." Said Peter. That's when his phone started to ring. Gwen was calling him.

"Oh, I have to take this. I'll see you tomorrow." Said Peter, as he swung away.

"Hey Gwen, what's up?" Asked Peter.

"Hey Pete, I sorta had to ask you a question." She said, nervously.

"Sure, what's up?"

"I was kinda hoping you'd like… to be my date for Homecoming tomorrow." Said Gwen.

Harry was right next to Gwen, and he was jumping with excitement.

"Oh, yeah sure!" Said Peter. Never in a gazillion years did Peter think Gwen would ever ask him out.

"Cool! I'll see you tomorrow at 7?"

"Yep, sure!" Said Peter, enthusiastically.

Gwen hung up the call as Harry was squealing with excitement.

"Yes! Anyways, Harry. Who are you going for Homecoming with?" Asked Gwen.

"Believe it or not, Aunt May knew that you liked Peter and she certainly knew that Peter was gonna say yes to you. So, she actually found me a girl." Explained Harry.

"Aunt May found you a girl? What's her name?" Prodded Gwen.

"Apparently she's one of Aunt May's friend's niece. Mary Jane Watson."
