Marina sat once again at the lab table. The same liquid she had put in the freezer the night before was now sitting on the Bunsen burner. The liquid was boiling but the steam rising was very light. What Marina did not know was that the steam was denser then the air and she was breathing it in.

Marina started to feel light headed and she turned off the Bunsen burner and walked out into the hall. Her vision blurred and she stumbled. She vaguely heard some one laughing and saying something about "the mutant can't stand straight".

As Marina passed out Doctor Osborn rushed forward and told someone to call 911.


Four Hours Later

Roderick stepped onto his glider for the first time. His costume had yellow skin and a red hood and cape. The tunic was also red as were the pants. The boots and the gloves were black. The suit came with a sack to carry all of the bombs that Strom had provided. The glider was navy blue with streaks of dark green.

As he turned it on there was a light humming. He smiled beneath the mask, which already had a menacing grin on it.

"Who do you want me to kill first?" Roderick asked Fisk.

Fisk held forward a picture. Roderick instantly recognized the picture.

"You want me to kill Doctor Otto Octavius?" Roderick asked.

"You must," Fisk said, "he is developing these mechanical arms made out of adimantium. These arms can be sold to police and then they would have a great upper hand. You must kill him before he reveals these arms to the world in his press conference next Monday."

"I see," Roderick said nodding. "You realize for such a job I'll need higher pay, greatly."

"Oh yes," Fisk said. "You get one million now and two million upon return."

Roderick smiled under the mask. With one little kick the glider started to hover. The roof above them opened up and Roderick accelerated upward. As he reached the open skies he accelerated forward.


Peter Parker lay down beside Gwen Stacey, their hands entangled in each others.

"You know Pete?" Gwen said propping herself up on one arm. "Holding hands is great and all…"

"I know," Peter said absentmindedly.

"Maybe a little more?" Gwen suggested.

This jerked Peter out of his daze. "Huh?"

"Please sir may I have some more?" Gwen asked moving towards Peter slowly.

"More?" Peter asked. "You want more?"

Their lips had almost met when suddenly there was a crashing noise.


Three Hours Earlier

Marina woke up in a daze. After an hour of Doctors telling her what was wrong. She barely paid attention, except at the end when the Doctors told her to take it easy. She did notice completely, however, when Felicia came in.

Marina smiled weakly. "Hey baby," Marina said weakly.

"Hey," Felicia said brushing back Marina's hair with her hand. "The doctors say you can leave today! They said there wasn't anything wrong with you, you just passed out. Still a lot of money from the insurance agency though. In an hour, oh and you boss told me to pass it along that you have a month off work."

Marina's smile brightened.


Two hours and 45 minutes later Marina and Felicia got out of the bed in their apartment. They were finished celebrating. Marina put on some underwear and then lay back down beside Felicia.

"Oh I forgot to tell you," Felicia said. "I already made you that costume."

"That was only yesterday!" Marina said shocked.

"What can I say?" Felicia said. "I work magic. Besides, lying beside you at night, who can sleep?"

Marina blushed and looked away. "You realize we're past the flirting part of our relationship."

"Doesn't mean I can't still do it," Felicia said seductively and putting an arm around Marina's collar bone.

Marina chuckled. "No, not now. I want to try on this costume on now."

Felicia frowned and then got up and rummaged through the closet, pulling out the costume.

"It's just black…" Marina said.

"No look," Felicia said pointing out some features. "It's supposed to look like a black cat."

"So… I'm the black cat?" Marina said uncertainly.

"Yeah!" Felicia said.

"My powers have nothing to do with cats!" Marina said.

"But it's cute," Felicia said with a frown.

"Awww, you know I can't resist your face," Marina said, "no fair."

Felicia smiled. "Try it on hun."

Marina smiled and pulled on the costume. It was skin tight, full legs, full arms. Around the cuffs of the gloves was white fur. The costume opened up V-neck to show a slight bit of cleavage, most of which was covered by the same white fur. The mask only covered around her eyes.

Marina stretched arms over head.

"Meow," Felicia said, "I'd like to get with that."
"You've already been with that," Marina said. "So how do I find out whose ass to kick?"

"We use the TV," Felicia said walking into the other room and turning on the TV.

As if some higher being had heard; the comment the Soap Opera in progress was interrupted.

"Doctor Otto Octavius' suite has been bombed minutes ago…"

Marina ran out the window, using the powers to lift her. She knew that Octavius' suite was one of the many buildings surrounding central park. She flew at the full speed that her powers allowed her.

She arrived at Central Park and looked around to get her bearings. She finally found Octavius' apartment building and flew towards it. She flew at it and just as she was about to reach it a man with yellow skin flew out, cackling. She flew at him and knocked him over. They man did a barrel roll standing on some sort of platform.

The man up righted him self and put his hand into a pocket. He pulled out a blue sphere. The man threw it at Marina and it let out a bright flash that blinded her momentarily. She could hear the man flying around her but she couldn't see where. Suddenly she had a new sensation. She could feel the air molecules being pushed up against her as a punch form the man on the glider came right at her. She flew up and kicked him in the face. The man just shook it off with no effort.

The man looked her up and down behind his yellow lenses. "Very pretty, very strong," he said and with no hesitation his hand shot out and hit her across the cheek.

Her head snapped sideways. She put a hand up to her face and felt the red mark.

"That was my pretty cheek!" Marina said jokingly, but in a serious tone.

She reared back her fist and shot it forward and hit his mask. He flew back slightly but shook off the punch with little to no effort. He threw a bomb at her that she blocked with her powers and shot back at him. It blew up and some shrapnel went through the costume and blood dripped out.

The man growled and threw out a hand to clench her throat. She turned to the side so it missed just barely. She then grabbed his arm by the wrist, but her other forearm under the elbow of the same arm, and flipped him upside down so that he spun out of control towards the ground. He gained back stability and started to fly away over the park.

She flew after him, barely keeping up. After five minutes she caught up with him but he threw a bomb behind him. It released a loud high pitched sound which caused her to stop and plug her ears and shut her eyes closed. She slowly sunk down and once she finally heard the sound dull out.

She opened her eyes and looked around. The man was no longer any where to be seen.

Damn it, she thought flying back towards her apartment.


Peter scowled. He was about the kiss one of the most beautiful girls in school, and it was interrupted by some idiot in a goblin costume—at least that's what he guessed it was.

"Peter honey," Gwen said pulling him off the ground, "let's go home."

"Well I can't get a ride for a while longer," Peter said.

"Well I guess we could walk around New York for a while longer," Gwen said.

Peter took her hand and led her away.


Roderick landed in the same ware house and went to the video phone. He dialed a number until a familiar voice appeared on the other side of the line at the same time as Wilson Fisk's picture appeared.

"Kingpin, this is Hobgoblin," Roderick said taking off his mask.

"I trust the deed is done Hobgoblin?" Fisk asked.

Roderick nodded. "I threw a bomb in there," Roderick said. "If he's not dead he will be soon."

"Good," Fisk said. "This had been good work Hobgoblin, come and receive your pay in two days. Kingpin out."


Felicia watched her girlfriend undress. Marina put on a white skirt and white t shirt which greatly contrasted the black halter top with black jeans that Felicia wore.

"How did it go babe?" Felicia asked already knowing the answer.

"Bad," Marina said with a sigh. "The guy got away."

"Well you can't win them all," Felicia said shrugging.

"Great words of encouragement," Marina said bitterly.

"I'm sorry hun," Felicia said. "I'll cook you a special lunch 'kay?"

"A little late for lunch," Marina said with a light smile.

"Well it's way too early for dinner," Felicia said.

Marina's stomach growled.

"See I knew it," Felicia said smiling broadly.

Marina grinned back. "Okay fine. But I want to cook."

Felicia shrugged. "Okay baby," she said. "Just make sure not to use so much hot sauce this time."

Marina smiled and shrugged. She looked for a butcher's knife to cut up some vegetables. She wasn't able to find a clean one. She picked up a spatula and rolled her eyes. The spatula was metal and had a cutting edge.

I guess this will have to do, Marina thought. Wish it was a knife though.

Marina lowered it to slowly cut through the vegetables. When it came into her sight she saw she was holding a knife. She let out a quick scream and dropped the knife.

"What is it baby?" Felicia asked rushing out of the bed room.

"I was holding a spatula, hoping it would be a knife instead…" Marina trailed off and pointed at the ground where the knife was a few centimeters away from her foot.

"That's not normal…" Felicia commented.


Gwen sat in the car beside Peter as Uncle Ben drove them both back towards Queens. Gwen had Peter's hand in her own. The silence went on the whole ride until they arrived at Gwen's house.

"Bye Petey," Gwen said winking.

"See ya tomorrow," Peter said.


Well there it is... Once I'm done the fifth issue, which is the last in the intro volume, ill post both 4 and 5, then ill post new ones every month.
