Spider-Man had worked with Dare Devil previously, but no adventure they had been on before related to a cool action film like this one did. The walk down the creepy tunnel was a lot shorter with company, company that had a tight red leather outfit, but company nevertheless.
"This is the base? Looks more like the Temple of Doom." Dare Devil whispered. Spider-Man shushed him, trying to listen to the sound vibrations coming their way. Spider-Man leaped onto the ceiling, sticking to it, and grabbed Dare Devil tightly and stuck him to the ceiling with his webs so that the person coming would not see. Dare Devil didn't like this, but stopped complaining when he saw Chameleon come his way.
The Chameleon was cautiously holding the end of a leash to a huge black cat, afraid of being eaten. "Why should I walk these beasts? They're Kraven's! The fifthly little animals!" Spider-Man waited to laugh until Chameleon was out of sight. He and Dare Devil blurted out laughing at the same time, even though Dare Devil was still stuck top the ceiling.
"Change-o's on pet duty!" Spider-Man said hysterical. Dare Devil couldn't help but be rid of his usually serious self and show a smile. "Dude, I hope the cat pisses all over him!" Dare Devil added. Spider-Man nodded and tried to control himself. "Okay…heh…okay…. lets focus…. dude that cat must take a huge dump man!" Spider-Man and Dare Devil finally calmed down after laughing more, even though the situation wasn't that funny.
The whole place was empty, except for Kraven and Jameson, if we was down here. "This place is like a huge maze! How the heck are we supposed to find Jameson down here?" "Maybe…He's not down here…" Dare Devil thought. "That's insane! Where else would he be?" Dare Devil gave a smirk. "With the King Pin?" Spider-Man shook his head. "Hell no. Fisk wouldn't risk his King Pin identity to a fucking owner of a news paper!" Dare Devil agreed and apologized in sarcasm. Spider-Man's response was, "Hell yeah you better be!"
Spider-Man knew he was right about the Jameson's location, but Dare Devil's idea made him wonder. They passed a large stone door. Dare Devil exclaimed on about how stone doors were never ever seen before. "Okay, nerd lets go!" Spider-Man said impatient. "Ooh I'm the nerd?" Dare Devil said as he opened it. The room was a prison cell. Huddled in a corner was J. Jonah Jameson.
"Well, J.J., I would have thought that you'd be boasting on and on about your terrific paper!" Spider-Man laughed. Just then, Jameson stood up and punched him out. Spider-Man's head spun round and round, finally he fell flat on the floor. The last thing he muttered was "Damn!"
Spider-Man awoke barley conscious. The room was blurry, and he could feel the sting of laceration all over his body. He didn't know where he was, what had happened, all he remembered was "Jameson!" "What?" Someone responded. Spider-Man turned his head. Jameson was sitting on the floor next to him. "You double crossing, little pussy!" Spider-Man swore. "It wasn't me, you invertebrate! It was the Chameleon! I've been down here the whole time. They threw you down here a second ago. Personally, I liked being isolated alone, thank you." "Well, sorry to be punched out and held captive." Spider-Man said sarcastically. He sprang up to the ceiling and looked for a way out. "No air vents or anything…" He said. He tried the door. It was so thick! "It wont budge, Spider-Man. I tried it. We're stuck." Spider-Man spun around. "Don't worry, I'll figure a way out of this." "I'm not worried. They want me for ransom. I donno 'bout you, though." Jameson told him.
Spider-Man knew most people who held him captive wanted to kill him. So, he took a wild guess. "They're gonna kill me." He said half laughing. Jameson didn't understand Spider-Man at all. If he knew he was going to die, he'd be frantic. "Spider-Man," He said. "Why are you laughing?" "Me? I've been in much worse situations, J.J. Trust me. Once they pull us outta here for ransom videos or some shit like that, we'll be home free."
The huge door creaked slowly open, and Kraven peeked his head through. "Ah, gentlemen. Please, step this way." Spider-Man got up and walked with Jameson. Jameson looked as Spider-Man in that when-are-you-gonna-kick-his-fucking-ass way. Spider-Man nodded as they walked down the corridor. The Chameleon was waiting at large boardroom table. "Please, sit down." He offered. "No thanks, I'd rather stand." Spider-Man said. "Suit yerself." Kraven said, locking the door.
"Now, Jameson, you know you're not prone to any harm now. We merely need some money, and what better way than you? But, as Spider-Man knows, it's not that easy. We know Spider-Man has a plan to attack us at any moment, because that's in his nature. However, Spider-Man, we have another motive for you," The Chameleon clicked on a large television. It showed Dare Devil tied up in a room similar to the one Spider-Man and Jameson were just in. "Dare Devil dies if you do anything funny. All I need to do is press a button, and the room fills up with gas."
Oh Shit, Spider-Man thought. Dare Devil! "Spider-Man, you will transport Jameson back to the Daily Bugle. Bring the money back here, and Dare Devil will not be harmed." "What about after that?" "Play it by ear. If you are not back her in two hours, he dies. Now, go. The police are expecting you." Spider-Man felt so trapped as he and Jameson walked down the corridor towards the exit.
They walked silently, eyeing each other clandestinely. Finally Jameson broke the eerie quiet. "Well?" "Well what?" Spider-Man sighed. "Wadda mean well what? Well, do you have a plan?" "What plan? If I screw up Dare Devil's a goner. Face it, J.J., we can't win this one." Jameson was shocked. Spider-Man always had a plan. He's Spider-Man!
As they exited through the secret passageway that he and Dare Devil had discovered. Spider-Man held him as he raced up the wall of the Daily Bugle offices. He held Jameson in his office once they entered an open window. Police officers were scattered all over the place, and once they saw Spider-Man they reacted with panic. "Arrest him! Arrest him!" "No, shoot him!" "Get him!" "What about Jameson?" Spider-Man put his hands up in a peaceful gesture. "Hey, dudes! Look, Kraven and Chameleon need the ransom money now, or...uh…J.J. gets it!" Everyone went quiet. "Easy, Spider-Man!" A police chief said. "Look, I need the cash. What the hell do you think I want with this guy? He hates me!" An officer handed him a case. "Open it!" Spider-Man ordered. He did. It was real, all right. "Okay. Now listen closely. I'm taking Jameson somewhere safe. He'll come back to you, unharmed. I swear it." Before the officers could argue, he dove out the window with both the loot and Jameson.
Spider-Man landed with a thump and hid down an alleyway. He shushed the nagging Jameson and told him to hold the money. Spider-Man reached into his mask and pulled out what looked to be an earpiece. "What?" Jameson asked. "I knew that they were bugging me. So, I played along. I really do have a plan Jameson. Lets go explain it to the cops." "Usually, Spider-Man, I would have you arrested. But these coots kidnapped me, and they're gonna pay." "Hell yeah."
Jameson and Spider-Man reentered the Daily Bugle offices. The cops immediately withdrew their guns. Jameson gave them the cash and told them their story. The policemen didn't buy it at first when Spider-Man said it, but to hear a man stick up for Web Head when he literally despised him kind of gave away the truth. "Look. Chameleon and Kraven are working with the King Pin. They've got an underground hideout under this building!" Spider-Man told them. And he devised a plan.
A few moments later, Spider-Man walked into the boardroom where his employers were waiting. He laid the cash down on the table. "Ah, good, Spider-Man. Please join Dare Devil in isolation now." "I don't think so, Changeling. I did my part. I want Dare Devil free." "No." "No?" "No." "Alrighty then. You're both under arrest!" "Says who?" They chuckled. "Says me." Said a familiar voice behind them. It was Dare Devil!
"What! How? Who? When?" They fumbled. "Before I dropped in to see you dudes, I decided to make a pit stop. It wasn't hard to find him. Plus, with the help of NYPD, it was easy to get him out. Now, will you come quietly or…" "NO!" Kraven said, holding the case of cash. "Ooh, don't worry about that, its all fake. Come on, I'm Spider-Man! THE Spider-Man! You should have known I'd think of a plan!" As they ran for the exit, a group of police officers blocked their way. "Ha Ha!" Spider-Man laughed. As the two evil villains turned their heads to sneer and curse Spider-Man, he pointed and smiled so wide, you could see it under his mask. "You got punk'd!"
