Chapter Three

Oscorp Tower

A full day has passed since Spider-Man and Black Cat went up against The Enforcers and the fight was trending on social media. Harry was sitting in his father's office looking at footage from the fight, he took a bit of joy seeing Spider-Man get shot. Gwen walked in looking for Harry "Harry did you forget about our lunch plans, hey what are you watching?"

Harry turned the monitor towards Gwen "just Spider-Man's latest fight and it even looks like he has a sidekick now."

"Oh my god he got shot, Harry I know you hate him but you have to remember he's saved the both of us more than once."

"How can you defend him Gwen, he's a murderer plain and simple."

Gwen placed her hand on Harry's shoulder "maybe we can talk about something else?"

"Like Peter's new girlfriend?"

Gwen started to pace back and forth "where did Peter even meet this girl, she looked like the high society type, I bet she's just using him."

Harry stood up out of his chair "woah easy now Gwen if I didn't know any better I would say you were jealous."

"I'm not jealous, just concerned for Peter I'm sure he has to be hurting after things went south with Liz."

"Gwen you and I both know Peter is tough, besides he would come to us if he needed to."

"Are you sure Harry, we shut him out most of the summer and I don't think your Uncle Ben comment helped."

"Ok I admit I let my anger get the best of me, but I will make it up to Peter maybe a nice gift card or a new laptop."

"Harry, Peter is our friend, not one of your dad's investors I know you've been helping within the company, but remember to treat us like people not numbers."

"You're right Gwen, I will apologize to him the next time I see him."

"Thanks Harry, now come one let's get something to eat, I'm starving."

"Sure thing babe, you go on ahead I have to finish one last thing before I head down."

Gwen gave Harry a kiss on his cheek as she was escorted out by one of the many guards in OsCorp tower. Waiting for a moment to make sure she was gone Harry pusher a button under his father's desk and the bookcase slid open revealing goblin weapons and more Goblin serum.

Harry drank an updated version of the Goblin serum "I hope you're ready to answer for your sins Spider-Man."

Felicia's Penthouse

Felicia rolled over in bed and noticed her boyfriend slash pillow wasn't there. She sat up and stretched before looking around "Peter?"

Felicia walked into the living room and saw Peter doing push ups in her living room on the ceiling.

"Peter Parker, you get down here." she yelled.

"Sorry about that, something about the ceiling helps me think" he replied sheepishly.

"How long have you been awake" Felicia asked.

Peter checked the clock "it's two in the afternoon now, so since around ten or so."

"This whole time, how do you wake up this early after fighting crime at night?"

"I'm used to it, imagine fighting crime until one in the morning and still waking up for school."

Peter's stomach cut the conversation short as it began to grumble loudly.

Felicia raised an eyebrow "let me guess, even though I am your wonderful girlfriend and wouldn't mind at all you didn't eat anything because you didn't want to raid my fridge."

Peter stared back wide eyed "I mean well now that you mention it yes."

Felicia laughed "Spider-man superhero who saves lives is afraid to go in my fridge, go relax while I get our late breakfast started."

"Are you sure, I mean you've done so much already with patching me up let me."

"Peter, are you saying you don't want to see your gorgeous girlfriend cook you breakfast in her undies and an apron" Felicia said with a flirtatious smile.

"Um, I am going to keep working on this new suit design" Peter said nervously backing away.

"So shy Spider, but don't worry you will come around" Felicia said before she gave Peter a chaste kiss on the lips.

Felicia headed to the kitchen to prepare something to eat while Peter looked over his ideas for a new or at least updated Spider-Man costume.

Fisk Towers

Wilson Fisk the new Kingpin of crime sat at his desk going over his recent acquisition over several OsCorp projects. After Norman's death the majority of the shareholders wanted to cash out their shares. Wilson Fisk appealed to the shareholders as a new interested party and slowly acquired assets from the company. Most notably a lot of their weapon projects and government contracts made their way to Fisk Industries. Wilson Fisk posed as a legitimate business man who made his fortune through stocks and shipping, the public unaware of his criminal organization. Wilson Fisk chuckled to himself his legitimate business was actually producing a pretty good profit. His intercom buzzed sighing he answered "who's here to see me."

"The Enforcers are here as you requested sir" a security guard responded nervously.

"Excellent send them in please" Fisk responded.

Shocker, Ricochet, and Ox walked into Kingpin's office.

"Gentlemen, I am most pleased with your last job" Kingpin said as he sat in his office chair.

"Not a problem Kingpin, you're an excellent employer" Shocker responded.

Kingpin noticed Ox seemed to be wrestling with saying something and Shocker kept giving him a look as if to silence him.

"Is there something wrong Ox" Kingpin asked.

"Ox, don't do it" Ricochet said.

"Now gentlemen if he has a concern he is able to speak freely" Kingpin responded.

"YOU SHOULD HAVE LET US KILL" SPIDER-MAN" Ox yelled.

"I see so that's what this is about, let me assure you Spider-Man is not yet my enemy which is why I sent him a warning" Kingpin responded.

"If you don't mind me asking boss, who is your enemy" Shocker asked.

"Now that is a troubling question, the only person who has done enough to be considered my enemy and still live, let me ask you what do you know about The Man Without Fear" Kingpin asked.

Streets Of Queens NY

Outside of an electronics store one Peter Parker had his arms full of different devices and electronics with his girlfriend Felicia Hardy by his side.

"Thanks again Felicia, with this stuff I can start making headway on some of these designs I have" Peter said excitedly.

"Your safety means everything to me Peter, are you sure all that junk is what you need, I only spent a little over a hundred bucks" Felicia said confused.

"I know you were nice enough to help me fund this project, but most of the parts I need can be found in household electronics, it's how I made my web shooters" Peter responded.

"Now I have to ask, Peter you're so smart, why aren't you in any special school or internship with a company" Felicia asked.

"I was at one point, I worked with Dr. Curt Conners and his wife, but things took a turn after The Lizard and again when Spider-Man and Black Cat stole the alien substance" Peter said with a smile.

"Peter I'm sorry I didn't know" Felicia said with a frown.

"Don't worry it also didn't work out because people need Spider-Man more than Peter Parker." he replied.

"Don't give up on Peter Parker, I know I met him second, but I love him more then I do Spider-Man" Felicia replied giving Peter a kiss on the cheek.

The happy couple continued their walk until they arrived at Peter's house. Peter took Felicia to his room as he began disassembling various electronics. Felicia just sat in awe at the speed Peter was working. Both of them were so distracted they didn't notice someone else had entered the house and made their way up the stairs.

"Peter I'm home early, oh well hello young lady I'm May Parker, Peter I didn't know you had a friend over" Aunt May said.

Peter almost dropped the electronics he was tinkering with as his mind went into overdrive thinking of what to say.

Aunt May crossed her arms ' Peter aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?"

"Aunt May this is my girlfriend Felicia, she's an old friend I made when I worked with Dr. Connors our paths crossed and we hit it off" Peter explained.

Aunt May raised an eyebrow letting Peter know he had some explaining to do "nice to meet you dear I was beginning to worry, after his breakup Peter seemed to be rather depressed this summer."

"AUNT MAY" Peter yelled in embarrassment.

Felicia smiled "I did find him moping which was very different from the guy I remembered I'm happy he's been perking up these past few days."

"I see, then I would like to thank you for bringing my nephew back" Aunt May replied with a warm smile.

Aunt May checked her watch "I'm starving, and if I know my Peter he is always hungry, why don't you join us for lunch Felicia I would love to exchange stories with you about Peter."

Felicia smiled "I would be honored Ms. Parker."

Aunt May laughed "Oh deary please call me May."

Hell's Kitchen New York

The sun has set and New York's criminal underworld gets ready to step out from the shadows. The Enforcers were geared up to follow the orders The Kingpin left for them. Their goal was to assist The Hand stealing artifacts from a museum.

Ox began loading artifacts until a crimson billy club struck him in the head.

"Who the hell are you" Ox yelled cracking his knuckles.

The mysterious figure emerged from the shadows "I'm your worst nightmare I'm The Devil Of Hell's Kitchen, but you can call me Daredevil."

Daredevil was clad in a dark red and crimson suit that had armor plating on the chest, arms and legs allowing him to hit harder and take more punishment. He also had a crimson red helmet with his trademark devil horns. (MCU Netflix Daredevil Suit)

Ricochet tried to sneak up on Daredevil while he was busy talking to Ox. Ricochet threw a kick which Daredevil blocked before delivering a back elbow without looking sending Ricochet to the ground.

Ricochet wiped the blood off his mouth "what the hell how did he do that, does this guy have eyes in the back of his head?"

"I wasn't just speaking to your friend, I was speaking to all three of you I am your worst nightmare" was all Daredevil said as he waited for their next move.

Ox charged forward ready to run Daredevil over, unfortunately Daredevil easily flipped out of the way as Ox crashed head first into some crates. Shocker began firing his vibration blast, but Daredevil continued to agily dodge and flip out of the way of his blast angering Shocker. Deciding to go on the offensive Daredevil pulls out his carbon fiber billy club and hitting the switch it shoots forward and cracks Ox in the face. Not stopping there he switches it into staff mode and rushes Ricochet and delivers several strikes knocking him out. Turning to Shocker Daredevil grins "I will ask you this once time where is The Kingpin."

Shocker to his credit didn't panic, "he told us you might show up tonight so he left you a present."

Before Daredevil could inquire further he heard the subtle sound of blades cutting through the air and quickly dodged the throwing stars that were coming his way. He was able to hear very subtle heart beats which could only mean one thing "Daredevil, Kingpin wanted me to reacquaint you with The Hand" Shocker said with a laugh. Dozens of Hand ninjas emerged from the shadows equipped with katanas and began to slowly surround Daredevil.

Parker Residence

After a lunch filled with laughs mostly at the expense of Peter, Felicia told them her mother would be returning to New York for a short time so she wanted to attempt to spend some time with her. Peter offered to walk her back which she declined saying she called a cab and that Peter should start on his project. Peter got the hint and told her he should hopefully have a prototype ready in the next few days. Peter walked Felicia to her cab and before he could get any words out Felicia pulled him into a deep passionate kiss.

Felicia whispered into his ear "stay safe Spider, this kitty still wants to sink her claws into you."

Peter's face was full on red by the time he walked back inside the laughter of Aunt May shook him out of his love induced space out.

"I must say Peter that Felicia is something, but I have to ask aren't you moving a bit fast with her I don't want to see you get hurt" Aunt May said with concern.

"Don't worry Aunt May I know I haven't been myself since Liz, Gwen, And Harry but Felicia is a good person and I'm happy with her" Peter replied.

Aunt May locked eyes with Peter for a moment "that's the Parker conviction I know, just like your Uncle Ben when you make a choice you stand by it I'm proud of you Peter."

After the short heart to heart with Aunt May Peter went to his room locking the door so he could begin work on his new Spider-Man suit. Peter spent two hours trying to build a suit and failed horribly. His laptop was just too slow to create the things he had in his mind and he slowly got more and more frustrated.

"This is hopeless I need a stronger computer" Peter said to himself.

"Felicia has already done so much for me I can't ask her for anymore help, maybe I can try to get an advance from the Bugle."

"Think Parker think where can I start."

Peter's phone went off and he want to check even though he knew who the text would be from, and he smiled as the contact read Felicia "Hope you aren't working too hard remember start small you said it yourself it's a prototype. Oh yeah my mother is here until the morning so I can't join you tonight :("

Peter almost dropped his phone "of course I've been trying to start big I need to start on a smaller scale."

Another hour and a half later Peter smiled at the prototype upgrades he added to his original Spider-Man suit. Peter added electronics to his suit to help him locate and fight crime easier. His mask was now upgraded and he could make and receive phone calls as well as having a police scanner built in. He made upgrades to his web shooters were he now could shoot two other types of webbing one being a web bomb and the other was impact webbing. Peter decided it was time to test out his new improvements so he donned his suit and quietly made his way out the window to fight some crime.

Hell's Kitchen New York

Spider-Man stopped three muggins in Queens before he decided to go to a seedier area of New York to begin testing some of his new gadgets. He was swinging around the city until his police scanner came to life. He almost laughed as the dispatcher said ninjas were attacking, but that laugh left his face as he heard The Enforcers were also there. Determined to settle the score Spider-Man began swinging to the warehouse.

Daredevil was having a bit of a tough time fighting the combined might of The Hand and The Enforcers. He had his billy club split into two escrima sticks and was doing his best to fend off the constant barrage of ninja stars. Daredevil always had a tough time fighting multiple Hand ninjas for the simple fact that he couldn't hear their hearts beat as well as he could others thus making pinpoint their location harder. Daredevil was focusing on the ninja he wasn't aware Shocker sent out another vibration wave that sent him into a wall. Thankfully his suit took the brunt of the punishment, but he was slightly disoriented. As a hand ninja moved in with his katana raised to finish Daredevil off a web line yanked the sword out of his hand "now now Mr. Ninja did you bring enough of those for the whole class" Spider-Man quipped. Spider-Man flipped through the air and landed next to Daredevil.

"Woah, you look like the devil" Spider-Man said eyes wide.

"I'm Daredevil, I see you're the Spider-Man I've heard about" Daredevil said.

"You know about me" Spider-Man asked.

"From what I've heard from Jameson as well as when the street scum think I'm you" Daredevil replied.

Spider-Man got a closer look "wait you're that Daredevil guy, sweet my second superhero team up."

The conversation was cut short as Shocker sent another vibration blast and both Spider-Man and Daredevil dodged out of the way. Spider-Man leapt into the air and began shooting web lines to try to take as many katanas away as he could. Daredevil had his billy club split into escrima sticks and began attacking the Hand ninjas violently.

"This is a good time to test out some of my new upgrades" Spider-Man said to himself.

Spider-Man set his webs to the electric setting and smiled as they successfully switched over. He took aim at a group of ninjas still holding onto their katanas and fired as the web connected the effect was instantaneous. The ninjas were electrocuted and fell to the ground to the cheers of Spider-Man. Daredevil used the distraction to keep attacking more Hand Ninjas, but was blindsided no pun intended by Ox. Spider-Man saw Daredevil go down and rushed over to provide cover he switched again to his impact webbing and fired off a few shots that connected hard sticking several hand ninjas to the wall. The Enforcers continued to load up the rest of the artifacts as the battle continued. The Enforces now finished their mission joined The Hand in attacking the vigilante duo. Spider-Man even with his spider sense couldn't dodge every attack. The cuts started to slowly add up, and as Spider-Man was dodging another ninja Shocker's vibration blast hit him full force, sending him to the ground where OX attempted to squash him. Thankfully Daredevil's billy club connected with Ox's jaw to buy Spider-Man time to move. Ricochet used the distraction to deliver a vicious kick to Daredevil.

"Hey Daredevil, The Enforcers are my bad guys, so if you could take the ninjas that would be great" Spider-Man joked.

"It amazes me you can joke right now even though we're looking death in the face" Daredevil said.

As the battle was nearing its end with Spider-Man and Daredevil on the losing end of the battle a loud yell was heard as a new fighter with a glowing hand punched the ground sending the ninjas flying. The mysterious fighter looked at Daredevil "I thought you were supposed to wait for the rest of us."

"What can I say Iron Fist I'm used to working alone" came Daredevils reply.

"Doesn't anyone wait for the god damn team" a deep voice said.

"No because they're all idiots, I swear Luke I don't how you got me to agree to this whole Defender thing" a female voice said.

Spider-Man now looked to see a very large black man who was about to be hit with a katana, the man never moved as the sword broke against his skin and the black man delivered a punch sending the ninja flying. The woman also seemed to possess super strength as she too sent a ninja flying with a single kick. Iron Fist once again let his hand with a yellow glow and hit the ground sending a shock wave that floored the rest of the ninjas.

Spider-Man was almost speechless "WHO ARE YOU GUYS"

Daredevil introduced everyone "that's Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage we're The Defenders"
