I'm sorry for the really long delay. I had the past chapters already written, and time caught up with me so I needed to find the time to keep writing this story and it takes a long time to write.

After Peter and Felicia's run in with Sable at the Demons headquarters, they went back to looking around the city when Yuri calls them.
"Hey, Sorry about that Sable thing, I was gonna tell you guys, but it all happened so fast." Yuri explains.
"It's okay, sorry if Cat was making the situation worse with her arguing." Peter apologized for Felicia.
"She didn't help, but didn't make it worse, trust me. Anyway, Sable has the mayor's ear and unchecked authority. We searched the address Black Cat sent and we got plenty of evidence of a bomb plot, but nothing that could possibly lead back to Martin Li." She explains and hangs up as they know that means they still need evidence to stop Li from doing more damage .
"Okay, we have the auto parts lead and we need to deal with evidence on Li. What do we do?" Peter asks Felicia as they think of their options.
"How about we split up?" Felicia suggests to him. "You head to F.E.A.S.T. and see if you can find any evidence for Yuri to pin him to the wall, and I see what they have going on at the auto shop." She suggests and Peter sees no problem with that.
"Okay, Just stay safe." Peter warns her and gets ready to swing away.
"Say 'hi' to May for me." Felicia says and leaves to see what she can find.

Felicia makes it to the warehouse and sees something she wasn't expecting. Men that aren't working for the Demons are working on something big. "Yeah. We build this war beast for Li, Li finances the boss' new venture." Felicia hears one of the men say.
Felicia looks to see a giant car being built from scratch with tires that would make a monster truck jealous. She stays in th shadows and looks to see military grade hardware.
"This is bigger than we expected." Felicia whispers to herself as she makes her way to the main office and hears a fight.
"Come on, boss. Li will never know!" A worker yell befor getting thrown through the window of the office and Felicia sees the man in charge.
"Tombstone." Felicia says in hock, thinking when she and Peter busted this guy a while back.
"Your right. He won't notice." Tombstone tell his man as he crawls towards the gun on the floor when Tombstone picks him in and slams him into the ground. "Because it won't be there."
"I said I'll fix it!" The man tells Tombstone and raises the gun to Tombstone's head.
"You've got stone, Rock. Let's see if they break." Tombstone states and plants the gun against his head. Felicia wishes she could do something to stop him, but she knows she's going to need Peter to even stand a chance against Tombstone. Tombstone pulls the trigger and the bullet bounces off his head.
"Such a disappointment." Tombstone tells Rick and Felicia looks away knowing the next part and hears a skull cracking under Tombstone's boot.
"And now I need a new welder." Tombstone states and starts walking away from his office.
"Thanks, Tombstone." Felicia whispers and sneaks into his office and see the blueprints for the vehicle. "I have a bad feeling for why Li needs a armored vehicle." She states and finds something else that look like GPS trackers.
"This could be useful to stop you later, Tombstone." Felicia states and quietly sneak out the back door before he comes into the office and contacts Peter.

A few minutes earlier, Peter sneaked into Li's office and found a secret room he was hiding behind a portrait of his parents. Inside the room is a bunch of newspapers dedicated to Norman Osborn and the masks the Demons are wearing. Peter picks up one of the swords and sees it glowing.
"How does Li imbuse These with his powers?" Peter asks out loud and finds a recorder on the table in the middle of the room. He plays it hoping to get some answers.
"I can feel pay power growing, feeding off my anger. Father would say I lost the path of balance,but he could never understand. The only way to stop a monster, is to become one." Li says and it finishes.
Peter then looks on the table more and sees the folder that was stolen. "This is the folder MJ found at the auction house." Peter states and opens it to see why it's so important. All that's inside is a red dot in the center of New York. Peter takes it and places it safely in his jacket, when he moves off a platform on the floor he didn't see before and his spider senses go off and he sees the floor is electrocuted and leaps onto the ceiling.
"Li has a burner room designed to destroy the evidence ." Peter realizes and uses his taser webs to shut down the electric box on the wall and finds a way out from below the platform.
"If the police found this first, they could've been killed." Peter states and makes his way out through the blocked door. As he exits, Li is standing outside the room.
"Hello, Peter." Li greets him and Peter is surprised he's here since he was supposed to be out of town.
"Mr. Li. I thought you were out of town." Peter states as Li moves closer to him.
"Find what you were looking for?" Li asks Peter when May sees them.
"Martin! You're back." May says, happy to see him. If only she knew the truth. Peter thinks to himself.
"And heading off again shortly, I'm afraid." Li informs May. "Just needed a few things from my office."
"You must've heard about city hall." May asks Li. "Yes. Tragic." Li responds, not showing much sympathy.
"Peter here was very lucky." May states since Felicia told May about what happened that day.
"At an Osborn rally?" Li asks Peter surprised. Didn't know you were a fan." Li states since Peter isn't a fan. "Well what matters is you're both safe." Li states to them.
"But the bombers are still out there." Peter states to see how Li responds. "Who knows what they've planned next."
"I'm sure you and may have nothing to worry about. Just as long you stay away from places you're not supposed to be." Li replies and starts heading out again.
Peter then leaves to see Li getting into a taxi and his senses go off in time to see some people outside of F.E.A.S.T. start trying to fight Peter off and. He quickly stops them and tries his best not to hurt them and sees Li used it as a distraction to escape.
Peter then gets a call from Felicia and tells him to meet back up at their place. On his way he gets called back to the labs with Otto and helps him out quickly before making his way home.

Felicia explains what she found and saw to Peter who isn't exactly happy about her run in with Tombstone, but knows she can handle herself so it's best not to tell her not to do it again, because she's likely to still do it.
"Okay, I know better than to tell you don't ever do that again, just don't try fighting Tombstone without me, please." Peter begs her.
"Don't worry, I know when to fight and run from a fight. Unlike a certain someone who likes picking fights he can't finish." She mocks him and he mockingly laughs at her. "So, what did you find in the file?"
"Li clearly has issues with mayor Osborn, I just don't know why yet. But his next move seems to involve this devils breath stuff. Whatever it is." Peter explains to her and hands her the file.
"Maybe we can get MJ to look into it." Felicia states when Peter's phone goes off. "Oh, it's you're crime system thing." Felicia tells him and hands him the phone.
"Attack being held on Charles Standish." Peter reads the report.
"That name sounds familiar." Felicia says as she looks him up quickly. "Oscorp's CEO. You don't think Li is involved, do you?" Felia asks when Peter tosses her suit to her. She looks and sees Peter's already ready to go.
"We better go before they get away." Peter tells Felicia and they head out.
