A/N Hey guys, sorry for the EXTREMELY late update, but here's why: I didn't have time to type!

(Oh and the reason for the is cause my regular lines aren't working!)

Along Came a Spider

Chapter 15: Teamwork

It had been a couple hours since Peter had seen the ransom message on his TV screen via the videotape he had found on his doorstep, and it was still fresh in his mind:

Peter was intrigued by the tape, and he decided to put everything in his mind aside for a moment to watch it. Putting it into the VCR, he pushed play and sat down in front of the screen.

Harry appeared on the screen, accompanied by the ghost Danny had been battling the other day on the college campus. The ghost began to talk.

"Danny and Peter, I have something you may want," he said evilly as the camera switched to Sam, MJ, and Tucker, all of whom were tied up and struggling against the wall.

Peter then gasped.

"If you want them back, you will have to turn yourselves in to me and Harry here by tonight or they will perish," Vlad continued, as Harry just grinned evilly.

With that, the ghost suddenly turned back into an old man, the same old man that Peter had seen Danny with that day less than a week ago when they had first met.

He wasn't lying! Peter then thought to himself as the video continued.

"If you want to find us, we are at that building on the outside of town where we first met last week," Vlad concluded. Then the tape went black. Peter assumed it was done, but then something else popped up on the screen—Vlad again.

"Oh, and I know who you are," he said, then with an evil glare, finished, "both of you, so don't think you can try any funny stuff."

The tape then ended and Peter got up and quickly put on his Spiderman stuff and flung himself out the window.

"I've gotta find Danny!"

This had been almost three hours ago, and he still had no luck in finding Danny at all. Sadly, he was about ready to give up. There was just too much New York and not enough time, because if he didn't find Danny soon, MJ, Tucker, and Sam would definitely not see another day. He was also getting pretty tired and decided to take a break on top of a nearby building he spotted. He swung over to it on his webs and sat down.

He was about to fall asleep (he must have been really tired, as it was early afternoon) when he spotted out of the corner of his mask a white eerie glow coming from behind a small part of the building that was sticking out of the roof of the building (A/N you know like when they have those stairwell doors that lead to the roof, that's what this is). He was pretty sure he knew what it was too, so he decided to go have a look to be sure.

Danny was sitting on the top of his building He was doing nothing really, just sitting there with his head down and glaring at the floor. A sudden shadow above his head caused him to look up, though.

"Oh, it's YOU," was all Danny could say to Peter, who was standing there right behind him.

I should probably not tell him I know, Danny thought, and decided to listen to his mind for once.

"If you think I'm going to hurt you, you're wrong," Peter said to Danny, who was still sitting down, but his hands had begun to glow green in rage.

"Right…well, just leave me alone, okay? I kinda got a few issues to worry about right now," Danny told him angrily.

"Really..." Peter said back.

"Yeah, not that it's any of your business, but all of the people I thought were my friends have been lying to me, and I'm not about to forgive them any time soon."

"You really shouldn't keep stuff like that bottled up," Peter replied.

"So what? I told people my secrets and stuff, and they don't have the decency to tell me theirs, which I know they have," Danny said, really only thinking of Peter, who he knew was right in front of him, but that didn't keep him from speaking his mind.

"You're right," Spiderman replied, then pulling off his mask to reveal the person underneath, continued, "And I'm sorry." With that he put his hand on Danny's shoulder.

"Pete?" Danny asked, trying to sound surprised, when in reality he wasn't. Oh, well he was, but not at the Peter being Spiderman thing, more at the Peter revealing his secret by himself.

"Yeah, it's me. It's been me the whole time, and I'm sorry, but I tried to tell you and it never really worked," Peter confessed to Danny.

"So why are you telling me now?" Danny asked.

"Because Tucker, MJ, and Sam are in trouble and we have to do something..." Peter said to him.

"WHAT?" Danny almost yelled.

"I got a ransom tape from that ghost guy you battle all the time, and he's got Harry under his control and Sam, Tucker, and MJ held captive in that abandoned warehouse," Peter told Danny, sitting down next to him.

"So, let's just go kick his butt. Not like we can't," Danny said confidently.

"Yeah, but he said we had to turn ourselves in unless we want to see them die," Peter added.

"Oh..." was all Danny could come up with. "So what do you think we should do?"

"I think I should use my spider sense and you should use your ghost sense and we should think of something," Peter said to his friend.

"Does this mean you forgive me for everything yesterday morning?" Danny asked quizzically.

"If you forgive me for lying so long," Peter said, holding out his red-gloved hand for Danny to shake.

Danny grabbed it and added, "Let's whoop some ghost butt!"

By now it was around 6 PM and Vlad was getting very impatient.

"Why don't we just do it now? They aren't coming and you know it," Harry said to his boss for the third time that day at least.

"Because I really want to have them, too," Vlad told Harry, who was standing next to him.

"Who cares about...THEM," Harry said, thinking of Peter and Danny. "You don't need them to do what you plan on doing."

"But..." Vlad interrupted.

"But what?"

"But I need them out of the way," Vlad said with an evil grin. "So therefore, we wait."

Sam, being the only conscious, or awake, one of the three captives, heard every word of Vlad and Harry's conversation from her uncomfortable spot against the wall.

What is he going to do?

Just then MJ stirred next to her.

"Sa...Sam? Where are we?"

"Well, first of all, keep it down. They might hear us," Sam told her.

"They?"

"Vlad Plasmius and Harry," Sam explained. "And second of all, we're in an old warehouse of some sort and they're going to do something to us, but I don't know what."

"Us? What would they want with us?"

"I'm guessing it has to do with Peter and Danny, whom they're waiting for before they do anything," Sam concluded to her friend.

"Oh."

"Yeah so I suggest we figure a way out of here or at least some sort of plan of action, before we all turn into Harry," Sam said quietly but defiantly.

"Turn into Harry?" MJ asked. "You mean, like evil?"

"Exactly. I have a bad feeling that may be Vlad's plan."

"So do you have any ideas?" MJ asked.

"Nothing yet," was all Sam could say.

And Sam never got the chance to come up with anything either, for about five minutes later, Harry came over to them, mumbling.

"Why can't he just wait? 'Do it now, we don't need the others,' he says. Well I say we wait, but when has my opinion counted?"

He may have been mumbling, but Sam heard it all.

Do WHAT now? This can't be good...

And it wasn't, for Harry reached towards her and MJ, grabbed them by the collars of their shirts and began dragging them across the floor over to where Vlad was. He jarringly let go and went back for Tucker, whom he brought back the same way. Once they were all there, Vlad began to talk.

"Well, I see you are all still alive and well, just the way I planned…" he said to them with an evil voice. "Harry, bring me the pills!"

Harry came over to Vlad, carrying a tray with the same pills Vlad had used on him. He handed it over to Vlad instantly.

"You may be well now, but that's all about to change."

It was about an hour after Peter had found Danny on the roof, and they were still there, planning. Considering they had been there for an hour or so, they hadn't gotten much accomplished.

"I still say, I go invisible, you distract them, and then I attack," Danny said for the umpteenth time that afternoon.

"Right...and when I get captured, then what?" Peter said to him.

"Umm okay, forget that idea, but do you have any?" Danny asked.

"No."

"So that means..."

"I guess we should use your idea," Peter said with a sigh.

Twenty minutes later, they found themselves outside the warehouse. They knew it was the right one for sure, and sure enough, both of their senses went off.

"Whoa...that hasn't happened in awhile," Danny said as a blue mist appeared out of his mouth.

"Something must have happened to restore them...We've got no time to lose so should I go in?" Peter asked, not distracted by the fact his spider sense was back as well.

"Yeah, sure, that works, then once you've got them distracted, I'll sneak up from behind and attack them," Danny said.

"So you're sure this will work?" Peter asked his friend.

"No, but it's all we got right now," Danny replied. With that, Peter took off into the building.

Vlad was floating above the group, his task done, when he heard a crash behind him. He turned around to see Spiderman standing on the windowsill.

"So you decided to join the party. Where's the ghost boy?" Vlad asked evilly.

"Don't know, don't care!" was all Spiderman could say to Vlad. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Danny appear behind Vlad and get an ecto-beam ready.

"Ahh really? You think you would, because he's your only hope for survival now!" Vlad said, then turning around, added, "Right, Danny?"

"Wha...what?" Danny said, rather surprised.

"Yes, I knew you were there...But none of that matters now, because I can beat you in a heartbeat."

Upon saying that, he snapped his fingers.

"Get 'em!"

With that, both Danny and Peter turned to look as Sam, MJ, Tucker, and Harry all approached, evil in their eyes.

A/N I am the devil evil grin. Oh well was that good or what? Lol well I thought it was pretty good! Oh yeah, in case you are wondering about the senses being recovered, it's because they are no longer rivals so they no longer have headaches...get it? Good, lol. Also there should only be a few more chapters (2 or 3 may be) if it goes the way I plan. Oh well review please!
