You'll Only Find It in New York

"You okay?" Foggy asked, turning his attention from the "Daily Bugle" to his friend, Matt. Matt had always been a strange one to Foggy, even though he was a blind man.

"Yeah I'm okay," Matt replied, tracing the rim of his coffee mug, which bore the words "Moondance," the title of the diner they were at, on its side. It had been just a little while after Elektra's father's funeral. She had left the event in a bitter and vengeful mood. Who knows what a woman like Elektra could do in a mood like that.

"You seem a bit out of it," Foggy pointed out as he took a bit of pancake from his plate with his fork and stuffed it in his mouth.

"Just feeling a bit lightheaded."

"Whatever," Foggy sighed after he swallowed his chunk of breakfast. "Hey, listen to this. 'Witnesses report that Dr. Simons' new experiment with a space substance from an asteroid had mutated into a living being. With the efforts of the masked vigilante, Spiderman, everyone from the building had been evacuated."

"Spiderman?" Matt asked as he leaned back into his seat.

"Yeah, you know that crazy freak that runs around the city in red and blue tights saving people."

"What about Daredevil?"

"Ah, he's small time. He's only been seen around Hell's Kitchen. Spiderman is in the big leagues."

"You don't have to be so comparative," Matt spoke as he lifted his coffee mug to his lips and drank some of his black coffee down his throat.

"You're defending that weirdo?"

"No, I'm just saying…" Matt then went silent and sipped at his coffee again.

Peter laid his head on Mary Jane's lap, letting the redhead soothingly move her finger's through Peter's hair. They were at Mary Jane's quaint apartment, staying with each other on the bed.

"You sleepy Tiger?" Mary Jane whispered as she ran her left hand along Peter's chest. She then rested it on his stomach.

"No, I just like what you're doing," Peter answered back softly.

"You're so sweet. Hey c'mon, let's watch some TV," Mary Jane said as she reached for the remote sitting next to her.

"Okay then," Peter said as he got off Mary Jane's lap. Mary Jane pressed a large green button on the top of the roof, causing the TV in front of the bed to turn on. The TV screen soon lighted up reveal a movie, "The Princess Diaries," playing.

"I love this movie!" Mary Jane squealed as she leaned her head on Peter's shoulder.

"Do we have to watch this?" Peter whined.

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I missed this movie last time for your basketball game."

"But you've already saw this!" Peter explained.

"Well I want to watch it again!"

"Women," Peter murmured. Mary Jane heard this however and grabbed a pillow and smacked it into Peter's face. Peter didn't budge as he turned to face Mary Jane and tackle her off the bed, turning at the last second so that he took the fall. The two then put their lips together for a long time. Their emotions were running wild like animals as their lips broke and met and spread apart and back every second. Then, all the power, including the TV and lights suddenly went out.

"What's going on?" Mary Jane asked as the two broke apart from their kiss. Mary Jane then broke from Peter's embrace and walked over to her window, looking out of it. She noticed that a wide area of the city was blacked out. There were only a few lights on the far side of the city that were still illuminated. Peter quickly joined Mary Jane in looking out of it.

"I think I should check this out," Peter said as he moved away from the window and removed his shirt, revealing his Spiderman outfit's top.

"Are you sure?" Mary Jane asked, her face crossed with worry.

"Yeah, don't worry, it's not like some monster is sucking the life out of the city."

Meanwhile, the black substance from the NOVA institute was at a power plant, all the workers gone in fear. The substance slithered over to a large generator and spread itself over it, absorbing a little bit of its energy. However, it started to take in more and more and more of the electrical energy, causing several lights emanating from the nearby buildings to cease. The slime move to another generator, following the same procedure it had done with the last generator.

"Can't help yourself? There's an all you can eat buffet nearby you know." Spiderman called out wittily as he crashed in through a window at the top of the wall opposite the slime. The slime turned around and screeched. It then leapt toward Spiderman, who just landed on the floor. Spiderman rolled to the side as he shot a web up to the ceiling, drawing himself upwards. The slime tried jumping at it but Spiderman quickly shifted movement to avoid it. Spiderman then shot another web from his free hand at a nearby box and pulled it straight toward the slime several feet behind him. The box took the hit but it immediately recovered and shot out a tendril, grabbing him by the ankle and throwing him into a wall.

Daredevil sat upon the top of a twenty story building, sighing as he removed his mask. The mask gave away to his blank eyes that were starting to form tears. It had been only a few hours since he had defeated Kingpin. It had also been several more hours since Elektra died.

"I'm sorry Elektra, dad," Matt murmured, letting one stray streak flow down his cheek. Before Matt could even move to get up, the neon lights below him quickly faded, leaving only the head and back lights of the hundreds of cars below him. It also lead to the shouts and curses coming from below him.

"What the hell happened to the power!" Matt heard one man say.

"The lights?" Matt pondered, slipping his mask on and setting the strap on it. He then got up, using his "radar" to outline his surroundings. He then got out his billy club and shot out a grappling hook, connecting to the flagpole of a nearby building and swung off into the night.

"Ow my head," Spiderman commented as he rubbed at his scalp up, having just smashed into a wall. The black slime responsible for his misfortune quickly zigzagged toward the spandex wearing man. Spiderman jumped up and stuck to the wall and quickly pressed off it. He then stuck to a large pillar and shot a large web at the slime, smacking hard and forced the slime to separate and regroup elsewhere. "God, this thing won't stop." Spiderman then propelled himself off the pillar, shooting several webs at the slime. This time, the web balls were shot much harder, having a bit of an effect on it. The slime retaliated with two tendrils, slamming him straight into a metal object, causing it to scrape against the floor, making a screeching sound. The sound caused the slime to screech itself and also writhe in pain before running away. Sadly, Spiderman was unconscious.

Spiderman arrived at Mary Jane's apartment through her balcony an hour later, a splitting headache his only souvenir from the battle with the black goo. He removed his mask, and flopped onto the couch, putting his hand over his forehead.

"Peter?" Mary Jane asked into the dark of her living room as she walked into the pitch black room. She tripped on a sock, falling straight onto Peter's body sprawled over the couch.

"Ow!" Peter yelled, dropping the mask he held in his right hand.

"I'm sorry!" Mary Jane apologized as she got off of Peter's body. "I tripped on a sock."

"You know you're getting clumsier everyday?" Peter joked as he got off the couch. Mary Jane giggled and aimed her lips for Peter's. Mary Jane had kissed Peter's chest. She got up and aimed again. This time, she had reached her target.

Matt had arrived to his secluded apartment, removing his mask and throwing it against the wall. He then went into his shower room, unzippering his costume's top as he turned on a shower. He then removed the rest of his costume and throwing it into the corner, not caring where it went. He stood alone silently in the flowing hot water, letting it hit against his chest. After several minutes, he found his way to his isolation tank, opening it and slid into the water filled chamber.

As the top of the tank slid over him, he whispered, "Elektra."

Two medical workers arrived to the battle scene where a blonde woman dressed in a blue battle suit lay, dead. One grabbed the woman by her arms and the other lifted the woman by her legs. They then gently moved toward the door, which lead to a staircase.

"Whoever did this did it good," the man holding the woman's legs said.

"You ain't kidding," the other replied. As they approached closer to the door, a black substance moved swiftly toward the three and leaped at the dead woman.

"What the…" The black substance then covered the woman, forcing the two men to drop her. The substance seeped into her skin and in an instant, a heartbeat had begun and the woman's eyebrows snapped open.

Elektra Natchios was reborn.

The zombie like woman rose to her feet and leapt onto a nearby roof. She quickly jumped from roof to roof, with agility in an entirely different league than Spiderman's.

As the two medical workers, lay on the roof of Elektra's revival, one of them muttered, "I'm moving to Jersey."

Spiderman swung over Hell's Kitchen, pondering over the events that transpired over the last several days. Elektra was thought dead and then was thought to be alive. The Kingpin had been revealed as Wilson Fisk and now there was some crazy black creature was moving about through the city. It was disturbing that New York attracted the weirdest things. He then heard several shouts coming from northwest and a crash.

"Better check that out," Spiderman muttered as he shot out a web and swung toward the area of the sound.

Daredevil ran quickly along a rooftop, running along it with incredible speed. He had just finished a run along a drug raid at the back of an abandoned ware. It had been a long fight and now it had cost him. He was running late for a meeting with Foggy.

He then noticed something that he hadn't expected. A heart signature. The heart signature of Elektra Natchios. The blonde woman leaped toward Daredevil, stopping him in his tracks.

"Elektra?" Daredevil asked.
