Chapter Two: The Great White North
"Hey, bring that over here!" We see an armed man with a purple sweater and bulletproof vest on yell across to a similarly dressed man who is carrying boxes out of a truck labelled 'Fisk Industries' across the side, he walks over the man leaving his friend alone and open for a surprise attack from Spider-Man who pulls the guy towards him with his webs and sticks him to the roof of the building.
"Okay Clint, you're up next" Spidey says, as Hawkeye sits on another rooftop waiting for a chance to strike, using his goggles tech, he can see through the walls and waits for the soldier carrying the load to turn around, and as he does he shoots off an arrow that propels the other soldier backwards into the opposite wall and causes a loud thud, hearing this the other guy turns around and notices his friend tied up, he's about to call for help when he gets a fist to the face from Daredevil who was waiting in the dark. "Sorry!" Hawkeye exclaims over the earpiece as he and Spidey meet with Daredevil inside the small shed. "So, here we are. What are looking for again?" asks Clint. "Anything you can find that gives us an idea of who is behind all of this. Now start opening boxes" The three men start searching through everything, and find nothing but stolen tech from multiple companies, including, Oscorp, Stark Industries, Fisk Industries and Rand Industries. "Why do they have all of this stolen tech?" "No Idea, but when we leave, we should alert the local police so they can come and ransack the place" The men continue looking but don't really find a lot, as they are about to leave, they hear a familiar sound pass the shed and land. Vulture, Peter looks to his friends and tells them to be quiet. "Ya know, Boss man is too paranoid, why in the world would Spider-Man and his 'Amazing' friends follow us all the way up to freaking Canada?!" Vulture says to an unidentified person. "Well with the Avengers and FF gone, they are the about the only ones left that really give a damn about our business. So, Boss mans got a good reason to be concerned." The mystery man says. He has a military buzzcut and is wearing a dark green striped shirt with cargo pants on, as well as what looks to be dog tag around his neck. Daredevil looks to Spidey, "Who is that guy?" "No Idea, but I don't want to find out." Spidey, Hawkeye and Daredevil start to leave but Clint knocks over a box which falls over and the contents crash out of it. "Oops…" Clint says, as the mystery guy outside the shed looks behind him "Go around the back, I'll go in this way" Vulture takes off as the man walks inside the building. "Hello? Wasn't there supposed to be guards here?" The man looks around as Spidey and his friends hide, he notices the guy tied up to the wall. "Hey Toomes! Someone's been here…" as he says this his arms turn into sand, followed by the rest of his body, he forms a sandstorm than sends everything flying around the room, the centre of the storm has two eyes that are searching the room and spot Spider-Man, Hawkeye and Daredevil. "There you are" His voice now echoing throughout the building, his makes a fist and brings it down on them all as they jump out of the way. "Woah, how are you doing that? Is it some sort of illusion?" Peter asks as he's running away from him, until he gets hit by a flying sand ball. "Okay, maybe not." Peter swings into the head and tries to kick him but goes straight through. "God damn, I can't hit him!" as he says this Vulture flies in and tries to grab Peter from behind, but his senses warn him, and he quickly ducks and proceeds to swing towards Vulture. "Hey Big Bird, any idea on how to beat this guy?" Vulture chuckles "You think I'd tell you! That's very stupid of you." Vulture and Spidey clash mid air and brawl, hitting each other in the face repeatedly, until Vulture's Wing-pack gets hit with an arrow. "I got bird brain; you figure out how to beat the main problem." Spidey nods to Clint and kicks off Vulture and swings away. "Hey Matt, I'm going to lure the Sandman outside, so we have more room to deal with him, wanna give me a hand?" He asks over the earpiece. "Sounds like a plan." Spidey and Matt lure Sandman outside using some tricks and have him in an open space. "Alright Matt, now you keep him occupied whilst I figure out what to do, I'll be helping but I need you to do the majority." Matt nods. Spidey swings around avoiding sand attacks, whilst thinking back to high school, and realizes in about half a second. "Water!" He yells into the earpiece, "What?" Matt and Clint both ask confused. "We need to get him wet, both of you look for some sort of water source, there has to be like a fire hose or something around here. I'll distract him." Matt leaves to search as Spidey comes face to face with the Sandman. "So, how did you get your ability? Born with it? Lab Experiments? Some otherworldly being grant your wishes?" Sandman angrily sends a fist flying towards Spidey who dodges out of the way. "Oh my god, did you get bitten by a radioactive sand bug that gave you the ability to turn into sand?" Sandman ignores all these questions and keeps attacking Spidey who just dodges each one. After about eight minutes of this, Matt says over the earpiece "Lure him to me, I've found some water pumps." "Coming your way… Hey Sand freak, let's got for a ride!" Peter swings towards Matt's location and Sandman follows and Matt tightens the pressure on the pumps, causing the pipes to burst, and they watch as the Sandman solidifies, and becomes a Sand Statue. "Wow, that is the biggest sand sculpture I have ever made" Peter says. "Uh, guys. I need a bit of a hand!" As Clint says this he falls right in front of them and is followed by Vulture, who looks around and notices Sandman's state. He looks and sees the three Defenders standing at the ready. "I think we've danced around enough for today. I'll see you all again soon." Vulture zooms off leaving them there with a defeated Sandman. "Okay, I don't know what to do with this guy. We can't just leave him here." Matt says. "Well, we could-" Peter stops mid-sentence and falls to the ground, covering his ears as a deafening sound rings through his head, he looks around and notices Matt and Clint are both doing the same. All of a sudden all three men fall unconscious, and an unknown amount of time later awaken at a table, with an unfamiliar man sitting across from them. He's African American, bald and has a black eyepatch over his left eye. He has a goatee and a symbol adorned on his suit that looks like an eagle. "My Name is Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D and we need to talk."
