"Ah New York City, a city of magnificence and the perfect hunting ground" a man said as he looked at an article in the Daily Bugle about two new Maltese Tigers being donated to the zoo. This man placed the paper down and smiled as he picked up a blade and gripped the handle making the blade turn blue before he put it in his belt "But they are not mu only targets" he said pulling out a small knife and flicked it into the eye of Spiderman "This hero fascinates me, more so then the Panther King" he said grabbing a spear and then opening a window and exiting out of it
"Yes, yes it certainly is impressive, but remember we have been invited here for this special event out of every school in New York, so don't wast it" Dr Octavius said as he lead his science class around the zoo after hours
"Who's idea was a sleepover at the zoo anyway?" Kenny asked
"Mine" Dr Octavius said "Plus it will be fun, otherwise what else would you be doing on a Friday night, clubbing, gaming, canoodling"
"Who says Canoodling anymore?" Gwen asked
"Such an old fashion term" Liz said
"I agree" MJ giggled
"Who knows maybe you can Canoodle with your boys tonight" Anya said
"Oh by the way, you lot will be sleeping in two different places, so no canoodling" Octavius said making the students stare at him stunned
"WHAT!" they all shouted
"Rules are rules" Octavius said "And tomorrow you will be spending the whole day helping the zookeepers tend to different animals. And next Friday I expect a full report of this experience" Octavius said "So have fun and I'll see you all tomorrow"
"Where are you going?" Flash asked
"I've got to do something, but you'll be safe with the zoo staff here, so goodnight" Octavius said
"Sketchy much?" Peter asked
"So what do you think I'll find around here?" Peter asked wondering off by himself, he was bored and didn't really want to talk to anyone, just enjoy the night sky; even though he couldn't see the stars up above, he then turned to see one of the new Maltese Tigers near him examining him while he looked at it, he chuckled to himself and took a picture of it with his digital camera making it growl at him before stalking off, he smiled before he continued to walk around the school
"You shouldn't be out here alone Pete" Ben said
"I know, I just wanted to get a picture or two" Peter said
"I know, but safety in numbers and what not" Ben said
"Then what are you doing out here?" Peter asked
"Looking for you" Ben said
"Hey Benny you find Parker" Flash shouted
"Over here dude" Ben said as Flash Thompson ran over
"Getting some good shots?" Flash asked
"A couple" Peter said before the three freeze up at the sound of a growl. The three suddenly stood back to back looking around until the growl got louder
"Oh, hello boys" a wise voice said making the trio jump revealing Dr Connors in his newly obtained Lizard form
"Oh I'm sorry about that" Curt said
"What are you doing here?" Ben asked
"Well, SHIELD brought me here to work in a lab in an encloses specialised location hidden in the Reptile house, where I'm also help with the school based guided tours" Dr Connors said
"And right now?" Peter asked
"I'm out of Hot Cocoa in my lab and this is for some reason the only vending machine where you can get if from, I mean you can get some from the coffee shop but its closed, so I have to wait for the agent liaison I have to refill my supply" Curt said holding up a cup
"I see" Ben said
"At least we know why Dr Octavius left us here, since Doc Connors is here" Peter said before his spider-sense went off.
"Maybe we should head back" Ben said
"Sure thing" Peter said as he walked back to the group.
Once the students were asleep Peter quickly changed into his costume and started to patrol the area. He maintain a vigil over the zoo when he saw something in the car park
"Okay men, spread out and keep your eyes peeled, he's got to be around here somewhere" a female voice said making Spiderman turn to see a bunch of SHILED agents with a girl a few years older them him in Captain America garb
"Okay so who's the Captain America fangirl?" Spiderman asked
"Ah, Spiderman I was wondering if you were going to show up, I'm Agent Jennifer Rogers aka American Dream" she said
"The granddaughter of Captain America?" Spiderman asked
"I am, and as long as you're here; you can help us out" Jenny said
"And that is?" Spiderman asked
"Sergei Kravinoff, a Russian big time hunter who eventually was a part of the attempted Wakandan Uprising" Jenny said
"Wakandan Uprising?" Spiderman asked
"A former US Black Operative decided to overthrow the throne of Wakanda, this Operative was Eric Steven aka N'Jakada. The government gave him the codename Killmonger due to how many kills he had gained" Jenny said "Anyway Kravinoff was Killmonger's second in command during the uprising, but once that failed, Kraven fled into the wild after taking a couple of pieces of Wakandan militaristic technology, which he uses in his hunts to help him bring down his prey" Jenny said
"So what would he be for?" Spiderman asked
"How about a pair of Maltese Tigers" Jenny said admiring the grey coloured Tigers "these two are some of the last breeding partners in captivity"
"I see, why not trying to make a new breed, we can call them the American Tigers" Spiderman said getting a look from Jenny "What! If Australia has their own Panthers then America can have our own Tigers" Spiderman said
"Anyway we believe these two are Kraven's next target" Jenny said
"It would be a shame to see such beautiful animals die" Spiderman said before his spider sense kicked in and he stopped a crossbow bolt an inch away from Jenny's head "He's here"
"Spread out!" Jenny shouted pulling up her mask and pulling out a pair of collapsible shields with a patriotic paint scheme, glaring at the night sky
"Ah American Dream and Spiderman, two of the greatest young heroes of this century" a voice said as a man dressed in jungle camo pants, black bracers, a brown leather belt with a sickle like weapon on it and a vest made out of a lion
"You sick bastard!" Spiderman exclaimed
"What is it?" American Dream asked
"He skinned Simba and is wearing him as a vest" Spiderman said making American Dream groan once again
"Fury told me you like to joke" American Dream said
"Prey with a sense of humour, that's an original concept; now originally I was going to turn these rare Tigers into pelt for me to sell, but I now have new prey" Kraven said
"Oh that's good" Spiderman said
"The granddaughter of a war hero and the human spider" Kraven smirked
"That's not" Spiderman said as he dodged a swing of the blade Kraven was using. Spiderman quickly acted by shooting web at Kraven's eyes and grabbed American Dream "COME ON!"
"Where are we going?" American Dream asked
"Away from the Tiger" Spiderman said
Kraven finally ripped the web off and started to smell the air
"You may not know it Spider, but I have the powers of the animal kingdom, the strength of the lion, speed of the cheetah, agility of a jaguar; so it will be easy from me to track you" he said before he smelt something sweet in the air
"Peter, Peter!" a female voice was calling out to him "Peter, come on man; why does it have to be my turn to look for him, thought to be fair it was Ben's last time. Come on Peter I'm out here in my PJ's and quite frankly they're skimpy." she shouted as Kraven rounded the corner to see Cindy wearing a spaghetti strap tank top with neon blue boyshots and her Ugg boots "Seriously where are you" she shouted
"Excuse me young one, are you looking for someone?" Kraven asked
"Um...my friend Peter he wasn't at the boy's sleeping area" Cindy gulped nervously
"Well then, I guess I'll have to help you find him" Kraven said
"No thanks, I'm good" Cindy said backing away slowly before running, she was about 10 meters from him when she crumpled to the ground, Kraven walked over and picked her up, slinging him over his shoulder before walking away while singing a Russian song
"So where should set up our ambush?" Spiderman said
"We're not going to ambush him, we're going to take him out quietly" American Dream said "And we have to go this quickly"
"Why?" Spiderman asked
"Because he is a skilled hunter and warrior, plus if we don't then those Tigers are dead" American Dream said
"That's not the only thing we would have to worry about" Spiderman said frowning
"What?" American Dream asked
"There is a group of Teenagers here" Spiderman said
"What, WHY!" American Dream asked
"A sleepover field trip, now most of them should be asleep, but one of their members" Spiderman started
"You" American Dream said
"Tends to go missing a bit" Spiderman said "Wait?"
"Yes, I do know, in fact I'm one of three people who actually do" American Dream said
"And the other two?" Spiderman asked
"Classified" American Dream said
"Okay, so what should we do now?" Spiderman asked
"Well the threat of Kraven has just increased" American Dream said "From not just us bout to us and those teenagers" she snapped
"Yes ma'am" Spiderman said as he jumped
"Where am I?" Cindy asked before she heard a lion's growl making her recoil in fear
"Ah, you're awake" Kraven said holding a spear
"Let me go!" Cindy said
"I can't do that especially since you're bait for Spiderman" Kraven said
"KRAVEN!" Spiderman shouted as he spotted Kraven and Cindy "LET HER GO!"
"Ah Spider, come and get her" Kraven taunted
"Gladly" Amercian Dream said connecting her shield together so they turned them into a smaller version of her grandfather's shield and threw it at Kraven, who used the spear to knock it away, then jumped at American Dream who jumped out of the way and fired a sonic blast at Spiderman just before he got to pull out his crossbow and aimed it at the two teenagers before shifting it over to where Cindy was being held
"Now if you want the girl to go free, then surrender" Kraven said
"And if we don't?" American Dream said
"Donner Time" Kraven said as he pulled up a lever making several Lions prowl out
"Oh dear" Spiderman said "I'll deal with Kraven you get the girl out of there"
"What?" American Dream asked
"Just do it" Spiderman said as he leapt into the den and landed in front of Kraven "Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty"
"That is just insulting" Kraven said firing his spear at Spiderman
"Whoa, is that a Wakandan Sonic Spear?" Spiderman asked
"Yes it is Spider" Kraven said
"Cool" Spiderman said yanking it out of Kraven's hand
"Miss, are you okay?" American Dream asked landed next to Cindy after grabbing her shields again
"Yes" Cindy said
"Okay, hold on" American Dream said as she held onto Cindy tightly before jumping out of the pit and onto safe ground. Upon letting go of Cindy she flagged down several of her agents to defend the girl while she jumped back into the fight seeing Spiderman dodge Kraven's energized blade while shooting webs at the hunter. Kraven then stopped and pulled out a vial of something. American Dream quickly combined her shields and threw it at Kraven's hand, but Kraven heard the shield and jumped back before he could drink the contents of the vial which he tried again, only to have Spiderman kick him in the head. making Kraven recoil long enough for American Dream to knock the vial out of Kraven's hand and onto the ground
"You will pay for that American" Kraven said as he grabbed the sonic spear and fire a blast, knocking the young heroine back as Spiderman leapt over her and wrapped the hunter up in webbing before jumping into the air and kicking Kraven in the head making him stumble
"You okay?" Spiderman asked as he helped his temporary partner up onto her feet
"Yeah I am" American Dream said as she went up to the bound Kraven, who was about to rip his web binding. "Night, night" she said slamming her shield into his head making sure he was out cold. "You're under arrest" she said hauling him to his feet and slapping some cuffs on him
"Very well, but don't think this is the end, I will see you again" Kraven smirked
"We'll see" American Dream said
"So what are you going to do now?" Spiderman asked
"Well, I'm still on guard duty but I'm beat" Jenny said lowering her mask "So think the girls will knock me back if I ask to join them?"
"I don't think you will" Spiderman said "Now I better get back to my group" Spiderman said as he looked to see Kraven smirking as he was put into a paddy wagon
"Good, I think I'll get changed and join the girls" Jenny said stretching before walking off after being handed a bag by one of her team. Spiderman looked to the skies
"Why do I think something is coming that I won't like?" he asked hoping he was wrong.
G'day Guys Grizz here So that was my take on Kraven, he was one of the characters I was most excited to write especially since I wanted hium to be someway linked to Wakanda and I did just that which might be a new fic someday and will probably be a bit longer then the Legacyverse Black Panther fic I did, and I also introduced American Dream who is Peggy Carter's niece from an AU (the same one as Mayday Parker/Spider-Girl) here as Captain America's granddaughter with twin shields which can combine as for the name change, no idea why I chose Jenny
Now out of the fic can I say I am HYPED for what is next for the MCU movies including the surprise news of Thor 4! featuring the Mighty Thor that is going to be awesome and a new Blade movie as well, man talk about a surprise and the Disney+ shows which I hope will be able to watch one day
and since Phase 4 has been announced I would like to announce several characters for some potential fics that will fit in with this series which are: Captain America, Ironman, Guardians of the Galaxy, Cable, Black Widow, Daredevil and the only fic I have named: Avengers International!
anyway enough geeking out and until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
