Fisk Tower one of the highest buildings in all of New York City which had seen better days as all security personnel were put into overdrive trying to find an intruder who was picking them off one by one. In the main office looking down out of the window as if he was surveying his own kingdom was a bald headed behemoth of a man in a white suit, Wilson Fisk whose rise to power was reaching its downfall.
Born Wilson Moriarty both he and his mother were horribly abused by his father who was a violent man and has political aspirations as well as ties to crime groups. Determined to never suffer again he began working out and studying, he had ended up as an assistant and bodyguard to Don Rigoletto who was the feared head of one of the top Maggia crime families in New York who still commanded respect despite his advanced age. His first assignment was to deal with a getting on in his years loser who owed Rigoletto quite a small fortune, the peas of mercy from the elder Moriarty fell on deaf ears as Wilson had a sinister smirk on his face parroting the man's words back about how only weak and pathetic wastes of space asks for mercy.
The act of patricide was not slow nor was it painless.
Years of loyal service and Rigoletto was losing respect from the groups in the crime cartel and Wilson knew it, he had access to the old man's files and all his private information. He got away with moving a lot of the man's fortune and assets to a new fake identity. One snap of the old man's neck and a helicopter ride later, he was in his seat setting off explosives destroying the man's tower. Wilson Moriarty died along with his boss so that Wilson Fisk could live.
In the ensuing crime war he introduced himself to society as an entrepreneur and gained the support of powerful city figures. At night he commanded the services of a private military company that he had hired him to take control of several areas of crime, forcing gangs into his service and eliminating several Maggia families. After some months the crime cartel for the city were forced to surrender and bow to him as the new Kingpin and rival crime lords such as Silvermane from one of the last Maggia families and the Fixer who tried to assist were taken care off.
His criminal enterprise grew and just about every counterfeiting operation, scam and protection racket on the island answered to him. He had senators working for him, he had a huge stake in a new company called Oscorp by scientist Norman Osborn and he had senators and military personnel in his back pocket. He had met a museum worker by the name of Vanessa Marianna when he was eying a blank white painting reminding him of the white wall that his father made him look at for hours on end.
Conversations turned to dates which turned to marriage. The birth of their son Richard was the happiest day of his life. However he was just 8 when in a limo ride with his mother, some men working for a rival had shot the tires causing them to crash and they dumped gas onto the car and then strapped canisters to it. A grenade later and nothing was left to recognize parts of his wife and son.
He was on a warpath afterwards ordering that all men involved would be found and savagely murdered, along with their boss as well as all family members involved. After the example was sent, he allowed his rage to turn to grief. After mourning for his family all sense of compassion and love died and all what was left was a stone cold killer.
20 years afterwards he had gotten word that a man decked in combat attire along with a dark purple mask and goggles started targeting his operations, killing off criminals leaving a bloody red rose in. Fisk saw this 'Blood Rose' vigilante (J. Jonah Jameson founder and publisher of the Daily Bugle wasted little time in copyrighting that he had dubbed the individual) as nothing more of a nuisance but he had targeting and seriously damaging his operations. Cargo ships went up in flames and several of his front company buildings exploded and he was furious to find out that the insurance companies found no record off his claims.
He ordered this man taken care off but somehow his forces had trouble trying to track him down. His allies began having investigations put against them with strong evidence. Executions of witnesses began failing more and more with the heads of their would be assassins being sent to his office along with the bloody red rose calling card. His police officers on the payroll were reported as missing only to find their corpses in a basement with the blood rose there. His governor candidate had a video at a campaign rally but the planned video was replaced by one of him cheating on his wife and then showing him hiring someone to kill the daughter of the currently running incumbent. A lab gone up in flames where he had been backing scientists trying to reverse engineer lab notes that were found on Project; Rebirth with Fisk hoping that super soldiers could be made that would serve in a private military company that he had ownership of.
The investigation and divorce hearings forced him to drop out to the fury of Fisk who had already put in 5 million dollars to the campaign fund.
Then the Blood Rose somehow managed to get away with blowing up the embassy building whose ambassador was a close ally with several important figures of the country inside with him having falsified evidence that lead it back to some of his most important allies as well as implicating most of his companies. His legal team who never broke a sweat dealing with his legal for years was hard at work struggling to see if there was anything to salvage.
Fisk sat faced away from his window in the tower built in the spot of the former headquarters of Don Rigoletto as the doors busted open was the Blood Rose finally appearing to him in person. "The authorities will be here in a short time after the spectacle that you just started." Fisk told him calmly taking off his jacket and dress shirt.
"Plenty of time to finish off my life's work. I have spent years learning to wield every sort of gun there is as well as all of the hand to hand combat arts that had been invented. I worked my body to its limits, learned from the best killers in the world and took experience in one of the deadliest private military companies on the world. All to prepare me for this war on you." The Blood Rose told him and Fisk found this fascinating.
They charged at eachother with Fisk fighting with all his strength and the blood Rose was no slouch, he probably wanted to finish this with his fists but let his hubris be his downfall. Even while getting on in his years Fisk's strength was nothing to disregard and he had got some good marks using his sharp cane weapon.
Soon the blood Rose prevailed and slammed Fisk down to the ground injured, in pain and with a black eye. He took off his goggles and unmasked to reveal a face that Fisk didn't recognize nor did he expect to. He knew trying to pinpoint who would have enough of a grudge to become the Blood Rose would be fruitless as there were probably thousands of suspects.
"You took my mother from me, have a look at this..." the Blood Rose said as he took out something from his pouch pocket and tossed it at Fisk.
He picked it up and was stunned as it was a photo of him smiling with his wife and son while ripped around the edges. It was the last photo taken off his family and there was only one copy of it ever made, he had given it to his son Richard before he set off on the limo ride that ended his family's life.
"Mum died in the crash but the assailants pulled me out, they told me that my father needed to be put off his high horse thinking that the Kingpin was untouchable. They took me away while they were strapping the barrels to the limo; I learned what my father was doing behind the backs of my mother and I. I put myself on the path to make you pay." He explained as Wilson was open mouthed as he stared at the man who was his long lost son.
"Richard... I kept you both separate to keep you safe. I didn't want you both to be caught up in the dangers off my work. I avenged your deaths and I mourned you both every day..." Fisk told him trying to find the words to say to him. Richard however spat in his face.
"We got caught up in the dangers anyway, you never thought that while you were making enemies as the Kingpin the danger that posed to us your family. You loved being in power more than you cared for us or our saftey. You never thought to give up this life for your family's sake." Richard said as he brought out a rose and punched it on Fisk's cheek taking the blood which he then put in his shirt.
He then took out the detonator to the explosives he set up in the tower, "Richard please... We could run away and restart our lives anew somewhere... I own different islands we could go to... This doesn't have to end this way..." Fisk pleaded but Richard looked back to him and then to the spot where the mask and goggles was discarded.
"There wasn't any other way this could have ended father..." Richard replied before entering the balcony and set the detonator off.
He jumped down from the fire escape as the Fisk Tower went up in flames, just like the tower that was in its place before. The first tower ended the live of a crime lord along with his empire and same with the second tower.
He made his way to the apartment of his secret ally in a CIA agent who helped make most of it possible, without her he wouldn't find the evidence to take down his father's allies and supporters. She invited him into her apartment and tended to his wounds. They showed their passion for eachother and woke up in eachother's arms in her bed all natural while the news on the TV was talking about Fisk's Tower being set in blaze with the corpse of Wilson Fisk being found in the wreckage. "What now?" Richard's lover asked him and he smiled.
"Richard Fisk and the Blood Rose are now dead. I start a new life with the beautiful woman in bed with me. A nice normal life without the baggage of my old life, a family being started without having to worry about them being threatened or having anything to do with masked vigilantes. I hope you don't mind me wanting to take your surname for myself if you will have me be your husband May Parker?" Richard asked and she smiled.
Wilson Fisk's son started a new life after causing the death of his father.
There was a bald headed Watcher watching from outside the universe who noticed the irony in it. He bemused on the story that would begin not long after this one ends when the couple ends up having their son Peter.
I have wanted to do an idea after realizing that Kingpin's son and Peter's dad had the same first name for a while. It only occurred to me while typing this author's note that I could have done something similar to the Martha thing in Dawn of Justice.
