Wilson Fisk was in his penthouse sitting at his desk, smoking another Cuban cigar. He had stood up to take a walk but as soon as he took a step, jumping through the window was Spider-Man and the Black Cat.

"Well, if it isn't Spider-Man! This is a pleasant surprise. Rumors were starting to spread that you were dead, since your disappearance five days ago."

"I have been disposed, but it seems that I was not the only one who disappeared five days ago."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Dr. Octavius. Shocker has been seen there. Rumors have it that he is with you."

"I don't know what you are talking about, Spider-Man. I am a legitimate businessman! Where have you heard this heresy? Have you been listening to your new partner here? Black Cat, is it not?" Wilson Fisk approached Cat. "I know all about you. You have been a thorn in my side for the past six months. You have consistently tried to bring me to financial ruin. You have tried to falsely accuse me of crimes."

A young woman of about nineteen years of age entered the room. "Hey Wilson, I…oh, I'm sorry you have guests!"

"It's quite alright, Vanessa! Spider-Man, Black Cat, let me introduce you to my lovely wife, Vanessa Fisk!"

Vanessa nodded, intimidated by the presence of two famous superheroes. "I'll talk to you a little later. Everything is alright, I promise you!"

"You're not in trouble are you? You've promised me that you are legitimate."

"And I am, baby! There is just some confusion that needs to be cleared up here. I'll talk to you later." Wilson said, rubbing her back.

Vanessa turned and exited out of his office. His attention returned to
Spider-Man and the Black Cat. "I have a loving wife, and many successful businesses here in Las Vegas. Why would I need to live a life of crime when everything I want is right here!"

"Well, just to give you heads up, Fisk. Shocker was critically injured by someone. If you are in any way related to the disappearance of Dr. Octavius, that someone may come after you."

"I'll keep your warning in mind and have security heightened if that is the case. Now if you will leave as you came, I have business to attend to."
