Chapter 10: Angels and Vultures

He was pinned down underneath the rubble, he struggled to get up but the balcony that was on top of him crushes him with force. He pants heavily budging himself little by little to free himself from his death trap, he pauses only for a short moment hearing the footsteps of his archenemy approaching, and finally using all 10 tons of his strength he frees himself by web lining the opposite wall pulling his body free.

He rolls over panting hard, he struggles to catch his breath but he must continue forward, the spider struggles to stand but he is on his feet, he looks down at himself costume ripped in his stomach, his arms bleeding with gashes over his muscles, his pants near his near thigh ripped showing a large scratch mark bleeding from his shin to his knee. His mask nearly intact save for the fact that one of his eyepieces blown out.

Some of the costumes are left hanging in the back and finally, a piece of the chest reveals a blood-stained white shirt underneath. "Man! How in the world did Morlun get the drop on me?"

"It was a rather simple Spider, I just know you love playing the hero so I decided to blow up a building." The said man came out of the dust of the rubble with Black Cat hand gagged stopping her from saying anything, "I know you can't stand seeing lives in dangers so I waited until you did your hero thing before attacking you when you least expected however knowing that you will not be surrendering quietly I had to make a little incentive to make sure that you do."

"Of course a hostage situation…" Spider-Man drawled, "Can't you villain types come up with something original? Like…I don't know…maybe form a club or something? Oh, I got it how about League Of Super Evil Revenge Seekers because you guys suck!"

"Hardy, har, har…" Morlun rolled his eyes, "What's that you said about not talking and fighting at the same time?"

"So sue me!" He says exaggeratedly, "Look at me I'm Morlun I'm here because my mother got killed by Master Weaver and I'm fathers favorite son and I'm on a hunt for the all-powerful spider totem that ever so I can kill and make glue out of the other totems."

"…" Morlun blinks he was about to say something when everything goes to grayscale.

"Hey, why is everything so gray?" Spider-Man ask even though she should know

"Hey, wise guy why don't you write something coherent! I'm a guy, not a girl!" He pauses for a second, "Wait a moment am I in one of the fourth breaks?" He looks around everything grayscale and frozen in place, "They are? Well then…huh? OH hey, guys, I didn't see you guys there, man I didn't do a fourth break since chapter 3 or 4…"

It was chapter 7, you idiot.

"Hey, I take offense to that…"

"HEY, YOU JERKFACES." A new voice says, "What the hell? Seriously? Seriously! WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?! I have a right to cuss! I really hate you right now author dude…"

Oh no…not him…

"Yes me baby!" Deadpool comes in moonwalking, "Everybody's favorite Merc with the mouth with a successful movie under his belt …with a sequel out… is here…to tell you that only I get to break the fourth wall!"

Oh yeah? Well this is my fanfiction and he's the star of the show not you glory hog and I get to do whatever I want; including censoring you…

"*Gasp* you wouldn't dare you son of b****…" Deadpool shakes his fist, "I'm going to F****ing kill you…and your sensors…"

Spider-Man looks between Deadpool and the sky, "Listen fellas can't we just get along I mean I got to face a villain right now and this isn't helping."

"No can do copycat, you breaking the fourth is my gig, not yours." Deadpool pulls out comics of his issues with forth break, "I've been breaking the fourth wall since I was born." Deadpool pulls out a baby picture of him wearing diapers and gun, "Mommy Deadpool says I was old enough to even wield one. Number two reason…" He does a handstand, "Look what I can do."

"I don't see how this has anything to do with..."

No wait hold on he's got a point. Look at that handstand it's gorgeous.

Spidey scratches the back of his head before palming his face tapping the bridge of his nose, "Listen, guys, I need to get back to the situation at hand here so be gone now or however this thing works."

"Hmmm…fine but I'm not sharing my toys with you because I don't have too." Looks towards the author, "I have strong words to deal with you."

That'll work please continue.

Spidey shakes his head as they leave, "Anyway before I found myself in this situation how about I take you a few moments ago…"

Goes back to the dawn of time…

"NO, NO, NO!" Spidey pushes the panel away, "A few moments ago you jerk! A moment!"

A few moments ago….

"THANK YOU!"

Moments ago Spider-Man swinging as best he could with Black Cat on his back only stopping for a moment on another building near Woodside in 58th Street.

"Again with the resting? You really need to get into shape Spider I'm not that heavy to carry and I don't know why you are rushing to get to the Power Plant." Cat said stretching out her limbs

"Okay then; you do the swinging I'll hang on for dear life and you'll tell me if you're not doing double work or should I say triple. Beside…" He webs zip her close to him, she gives out a small 'eek' with an arm around her waist and her arms on his chest, "I do enjoy this lovely evening with a lucky girl who didn't know that Spider-Man even existed." He taps her nose

"Hmm…" A small smirk plaster while lightly smacking away his finger, "Down boy, I don't kiss on the first date."

"Aww…here I thought I was going to get that kiss, woe is me…" He feigned his hurt dramatically. A small giggle escapes from Black Cat, even though she couldn't see it a small smile underneath the mask of the not so rumored Spider-Man. As she looked upon him a thought gathered in her mind.

"You know…" She began, "With your powers and my own set of skills we could bring this city to its knees and I promise you all of this will be yours." Black Cat eyed him carefully as he let her go but she decided to latch on to his arm "Think about it we be the unstoppable duo, no one will be able to catch us and maybe we could know each other a little more."

"Tempting…" He said gently taking her arm off, "The offering is tempting, however, I already made up my mind on what I want to do with these powers, from the looks of it I assume that you must have done your first heist, that's why you were hanging around that tightrope before I crashed into you. What you've stolen is the question of the century."

"Aren't you the detective…" Cat said backing up

'Yeah all I have to do is get a cowl with a utility belt and have cave located underneath my mansion with a butler waiting for me every night for me to come home after I get myself beaten to death and one luxurious cat burglar as my potential lover...right….' It was a good thing that that this feline burglar or soon to be ex-burglar if he can convince her didn't see his eyes roll, 'I don't think now is the best time to be thinking about DC right now.'

They were silent not knowing what to say next to each other. Spider-Man looked over his shoulders every single time they stopped, Cat was curious about why he would such a thing, it was not like he was a wanted criminal or was he? The idea really set in her mind, if she could get him to work with her then this city would be cake but apparently, he would waste his talents trying to play hero.

She rolled her eyes, why would anyone want to waste time trying to play the hero when you could get what you with powers like that? She studied him, also recollecting from her memory the short conversation that they had when they've made a few stops. He seemed like the flirtatious type while keeping himself pose or was that just an act to let her guard down. After all, if he wanted to he could have taken the bag away fleeing with her probably tied to a wall with his webbing, a sudden shiver overtakes her thinking of things, still why was he glancing over his shoulder? It got her curious for the most part.

"Okay, I'm going to say it; why are you looking back at the horizon? Are expecting something to happen?"

"Mostly yes…" He replied

"So who did you piss off that you got you on the hit list?"

"Let's just say that this has something to do with a very unusual circumstance that more like Tom and Jerry's scenario do you follow?"

"No…"

"Okay…" He strokes his chin, "Basically, I'm Jerry and he's Tom Cat and he's trying to kill me because he wants my life force to basically live forever. The only thing is I know how to beat him but he's a lot faster than I anticipated."

She blinked, "Right…then I'm the queen of England."

"It's true…" He protested facing her, "I am being hunted for what reason I don't know. The only chance I got is to get over to the power plant and take it from there other than that I'm pretty much screwed."

"Well, …you must of have done something to piss this guy off." She replied brushing her nails on her leather suit.

"No, not really but I do need your help."

"Why?"

"Because I might need a little distraction."

Cats eyelids dropped halfway, she was not going to be bait for someone she just met. Whoever it was that was hunting the Spider was not her problem, she fulfilled her mission for tonight and might she add a lovely stroll of swinging in the Big Apple with this mysterious man. The thought of her being on the right side of the law didn't sit well with her, all her training had prepared her for this moment and she was not going to be subject of playing hero.

"Sorry big boy but this cat is going to have to call quits tonight." She said backing away to the ledge; Spider-Man didn't move only watched, "It's survival of the fit out there in the cruel world of reality so you just have to suck it up." She was on the ledge, "Though I have to thank you for tonight's stroll it's been exhilarating."

"Sure there's no way to change your mind?" he asked, "I'm looking for people to help, justice is always looking for new recruits."

Cat shook her sideways, "Playing hero isn't something I plan on doing, if you want to be goody two shoes that's fine but don't expect me to do the same."

"You won't know how it's like until you tried it."

"Same to you when you decided to a swing on the other side of the law."

"You know I can't do that."

"My response is the same."

A momentary silence hung in the air, 'There was no changing her Felicia is bent on doing a criminal career and I just can't let her go like this still I think the Anti-hero mantra would suit her nicely.' He thought then he smirked underneath the mask, "You know you might need this back."

Cat gasped, she looked back to where her backpack was supposed to be and instead found it in the possession of Spider-Man jingling it side to side, "Give that back!"

"Well let's see who it is that I'm facing…hmmm." Spidey jumped as soon she lunged for him, Cat screeched again this time he hand sprung over her shoulders causing her to stumble a bit forward, "Come on let's see who's behind the mask."

She paled as he soon as he went for the front pocket, which is where she kept her personal stuff still not to be deterred she raced towards him, using her acrobatics she was over his head sending a puff of smoke over him. She heard him cough violently before she swiped the leg causing him to yelp to fall to the ground.

She calmly walks over to him bending over to grab her pack, Spidey still coughing after the little stunt she pulled, "You just got crossed by the Black Cat handsome and before I leave." She kneels next to him pulling up his mask to his nose, she plants a kiss on his lips. Her eyes widen, 'It couldn't be…but these lips…'

'Oh snap, it's said that females don't forget a pair of lips will this kiss I hope she doesn't…' He panicked quickly he grabbed her head deepening the kiss hungrily

She let a surprised moan, they broke apart taking in deep breaths for different reasons, and Cat studied him while Spidey mentally scolded himself for falling for the shenanigan of the stunt she pulled.

Just when she was about to leave an explosion catches their attention, Spidey gets up pulling his mask down, "You sure don't want to come with?"

She throws her hands up high, "Ugh fine but I'm only doing this because I want to not because you asked."

They took off to where the smoke was brewing in the night skyline, not knowing the danger that lurked beyond their comprehension.

Elsewhere eyes shot open, a gasp escapes her lips as Cindy Moon awakens from her forced slumber. She scans her surroundings everything is white, she throws off the overs rubbing her neck; it still had some throbbing, she grits her teeth Peter was going to pay dearly for knocking her out.

The question on her mind is why would he knock her out, she could have helped him with this Morlun character, she needed to get out of here…but where was here? She walks up to what she supposedly think is a door to her locked room, she bangs on it waiting for anyone to hear her.

A few moments later the window is open to reveal Ben Parker eyes, "Hey kiddo how are you feeling?"

"Trapped, for the most part." Cindy replied sarcastically, "Where are we?"

"Ezekiel bunker underneath his office."

"Why would he do this to me?"

"He wanted to protect you." Ben said looking away from her, "He told you he was coming back for you, so just hold on Cindy."

"Mr. Parker you know that I need to help him, please let me out of here."

From the outside of the locked room Ben scratches his head, he would if he could, however, the door was way too high tech for dear old Ben Parker to figure out not to mention it would a fools work to try to sneak her out Ezekiel has cameras everywhere, "Sorry kiddo but this door is way out of my league to help you."

"Damn it!" Cindy punches the door, "When I get my hands on him, I'm going to kill him!"

"Cindy relax."

"How can I relax if Peter's out there fighting…that…that…thing!?" She says in disbelief, "I don't know about you Mr. Parker but Peter knows more than he's willing to share, I don't know what it is but I know he's hiding something and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure something is going on here."

"To be honest I get that impression as well, Peter has always been an open child. I would never have imagined that my own nephew would be harboring secrets." Ben rubbed his temple, "This superhero business is going to give more gray hairs than I could imagine for both my wife and myself."

A snort of a laugh escaped her throat, "I think that's the least of our worries right now."

"Hmm…" Silence consume them both then giving a small 'tsk', "I better check on Erika or should I say Elektra Natchios."

"Erika's here too?"

"Yup, we couldn't take her to the hospital due to the fact we knew nothing of her so Ezekiel decided to bring her where he can treat her, apparently he has his own medical staff and they are treating her right now." Ben sighed, "I'll be back with a snack would you like anything?"

"How about kicking your nephew's butt to the moon and back."

A small laugh escapes Ben, "Stay strong Cindy I'll be back shortly."

A small nod is given after he closes the visor, he walks to the medical wing to check up on his second tenant. Once he gets there he views the girl in hospitalization breathing with an oxygen mask on, he watches as her chest rises slowly up and down, she was out of danger the last he was informed.

The doctors said that the worst is over and it was a miracle she was still alive, they've managed to stop the bleeding from her inside and it appears that she was fighting for her life during the operation, that man who managed to hurt her did a number on her since she suffered from broken arms, and fractured femur among other injuries. They found out a little later that her real name was really Elektra Natchios after taking samples from her.

To the surprise of both Ezekiel and Ben she was the daughter of the Greek Ambassador, both men agreed that they talk to Peter before they would contact her father, Ben explained to him that Peter said they've talked over breakfast one day saying to them that she was his friend from Skype and that she had plans to come over the U.S. all the from Greece. Ben was sure that he nephew was telling him the truth however due to recent events he was unsure, even Ezekiel said that Peter was letting on more than he knew.

Ben places his hand on the window, sighing deeply; "Peter why are you lying to us? What are you hiding son?" He didn't know the answer to that question yet he hoped that soon they would understand the secrecy on what he was hiding. He continued to watch the girl's chest rise and fall, "Peter would have been devastated if he found out that Erika died yet here she is sleeping and out of danger." He walks away "Dear Lord watch over my boy, he's all that's left in memory of my brother."

In the city, not a word was spoken between Gwen or MJ as the duo swung from web line to web line. Gwen was too focused in locating Peter and he was far from them, Mary Jane looked at her friend as she made a pause on a building.

She flipped overhead landing graciously on an air conditioner, "What's up?"

"Peter seems to be having a major adrenaline rush, I don't know but I feel hot, hotter than normal." Gwen said lifting her mask up fanning herself, "It's weird, I can feel him, not just emotionally…"

"What does that mean?" MJ asked she hopped down from her position

"I don't know but something tells me that research is required to fully understand this spider-sense, maybe that spider did more to our genetic makeup then we care to indulge." Gwen said placing her mask back down, "From what I can tell Peter is pretty good at sensing us even long distance, I'm just starting to get the hang of it."

"Can we all do that?" The redhead asked

"It's a possibility but it definitely challenging my guess Peter been practicing ever since he got bitten which is why when he's been able to hone on anyone of us." Gwen said with a slight awe in her tone, "Wonder cease to amaze."

"Yeah we can think about that later didn't you say that Peter was in danger?"

Before a reply was formed a shadow overhead flew by, the two girls looked up to see a man with a green suit on cackling, "This is it I'm rich! I never have to steal again. Of course, if you're good at something why quit?"

Both girls looked at each other Gwen chewed her lips, "I want to help Peter but knowing that there was robbery and we have a chance to catch the culprit, do you think he'll be fine on his own?"

"I really don't want to know the answer to that problem but right now whatever situation he's in, I'm sure he can handle it at least for a moment." MJ was torn, she didn't like the idea of leaving Peter in whatever situation he was in, there was no choice if they were going to be heroes they would need…have to stop this crook and hopefully, the law enforcement would take care of him afterwards.

The Vulture cackled gleefully as he flew by with the citizens of the Big Apple screaming in terror of him or the sight of him, others were yelling to call the police. He laughed, did they honestly the police would do anything against him?

"It's almost too unbelievable, that's there is no single helicopter in sight, I'm home free!" Suddenly he felt a pair of feet connect with him. He cried out in from the sudden pain in his left side. Clutching it he looked to see a Spider-Man? No this wasn't Spider-man, this one was more feminine, "Ugh, another spider costumed miscreant, it was a nice shot but you're the one taking the fall not me! Say hello to the sidewalk for me, Spider-gal!"

A web-line attached itself to his foot, while the girl's voice rang out, "You to talk to sidewalks? You're crazier than I expected to be."

He let out a 'humph', "Fine let's see if you can hold on."

"I can't believe I let Gwen talk me into this is." She whispered colliding with a building with her back, MJ gnashed her teeth absorbing the pain but refused to let go of the old man flying, "You know I really hope that you don't have a driver license!"

Vulture took her for a ride purposely crashing the spider-themed girl into buildings as he swiftly made turns to avoid them. MJ gritted her teeth, this man was going to kill her if she didn't let go, slowly but surely she inched herself to his foot.

She knew she had to ground him, she only hoped that Gwen was ready to deliver the final blow once she did manage to ground him.

Peter was dodging debris from falling upon to avoid crushing him it wasn't easy, to say the least since he had a passenger on board over his shoulders, "I knew firefighter was going to be hectic in the city but I didn't realize this hectic."

He was careful not to step in fire hazardous material that was burned or being burned, it was a lot harder than it looked. His spider-sense rang and soon the floor beneath him gave way he spun a zip line quickly launching himself to the safest stable platform. He was coughing the smoke was getting to him, "Rule number one in firing fighter always stay low to the ground."

As he laid the victim down on the ground he concentrated to find a way out it was a few seconds before he found his escape route. His spider-sense screamed at him he looked up to see the ceiling falling, "Aw crud…"

Bracing for the impact he shielded the down man ready to absorb the impact of the debris, He closed his eyes regretting not being able to keep his promise to his friends to establish the crime-fighting unit, nor being to keep his promise to Cindy.

"I'm going home to where soul needs to be…"

"Yes but today is not that day." A voice said

Peter startled turned around, to face a man great in height and stature holding the debris with only a palm of his hand, there was gentleness to him, something more to him as he smiled.

"Who are you?"

"Peace and don't be afraid only believe."

A sudden calmness overcame him, the man spoke again, "My name is Joel, I've been sent to you by the One above all or as you humans known HIM as GOD to oversee and protect you."

"I don't understand."

"Nor should you, I've been instructed to keep you safe from harm especially from that Totem hunter Morlun but HE tells me that you know of a way to defeat him."

"I do…are you…an Angel?"

Joel laughs, "Yes, yes I am." He looked over at the unconscious body in pain, "Come HE doesn't like when HIS creation suffers."

"I don't suppose we could talk, by the way, my real name is Leon Ivan." He stuck out his hand, Joel shook it

"Pleasure, I will tell mysteries that you need to know." He said kneeling before the unconscious elder man, placing his hand upon his head, his wounds and health were restored unto him. He then carried the man out, "Follow me and you'll be safe from harm."

True to his word Spider-Man and the man made it to safety, they were on another building as the young man looked below the scene where they left the elder man to be tended to the paramedics. There was silence upon them, Leon not knowing what to say.

Joel then spoke, "I understand that you are an anomaly, that you don't belong here."

"It's true I really don't know how I came to be here." The young man replied, "One night I'm laying down in my own bed the next thing you know…BAM…here I am in the Marvel Universe with no clue with how I got here."

"He knows that too although you could have ended up in the sister dimension of this multiverse which is DC universe."

"Eh…cannot be too bad." He shrugged, "I mean I could have been Superman for all I care and really it's no trouble at all mastering those set of skills…having those power mean I could have saved the entire world…"

"While noble, having those godlike powers will go to one's head I know I've seen it happen to one of my brethren before, it was eons ago while the universe was finished being created." Joel sighed, "Enough about the past…" He paused, "I sense you worry for those people inside don't worry they will make it out."

"It's really nerve-racking knowing that I'm out here talking with you while those guys are risking their lives to save the people still trapped inside."

Joel reaches for his pouch taking a green ring from it, Peter only took a glance behind before staring back at the scene, he realizes a second later what the stone really was, whips around in utter shock.

"Is that…"

"Hold still." Placing a hand on his shoulder and snap of his fingers everything stops moving, Peter looks around; there was no sound, people frozen in place he notices.

"That's an infinity stone!"

"So you know what this is."

"That's the…the…the…ARGH….damn…"

"Watch your tongue little one, cursing is a sin."

"Sorry, sorry. Oh, my goodness, I can't believe I'm actually seeing this stone with my very eyes, I've seen it in cartoons but to actually see it in action like this really is truly incredible."

"Yes, I'm sure you are aware that there are six stones in all, each spread throughout the galaxy in various locations. Still, I must fulfill my mission, you want to talk let's talk."

Joel let him go as he unmask, "This is the will of Elohim for you Leon, you will have five years in this body until you are separated and this will be your sign an indestructible red wristband you will wear and when it reaches half white and red you know it will be time to be separated. As well there is coming a time for unification, a fracture and restoration, with a time of uncertainty you will have faced with the inheritors." Joel saw his gaze unmoving absorbing all the information given with a sense of uncertainty, "I sense that you have a disturbance within you, yet you have great faith always maintain your faith even when it's hard."

"Heard that one before, I've tried it, it's not easy."

"Doubt, you have." It wasn't a question but a statement from him, "Only believe and you'll see the hand of The One above all upon you."

"I do believe it just when trials come they're not my strong point." He rubbed his back of his head

"It's only through the trials will you learn to mature, without trials you never grow into the person you want to be, don't fret I will be with you and so will The One above all." He looked at the scene before him, "You must hurry your friend Felicia is fighting for her life."

With Leon putting on the mask he readies himself to get into the action, he turns to face the being, "Thank….you…." Joel disappeared, "So that's what that feels like, he pulled a Batman."

Back to the present

"Well to make a long story short, I came in the building, saving a few more people before I reach Cat who is fighting for her life then I come in kicking Morlun in the face staggering him, then he swats me like a fly into one of the pillars which collapse on me and then he takes her hostage…Fun time…"

Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

"Aw come I was having fun with this fourth wall break oh well." 'Peter' turns back to fight at hand with Morlun keeping the Black Cat in his possession Felicia she squirms underneath his grip as his fingers dig into her skin.

"I've had enough of this foolishness Spider, surrender or I will truly see if this kitty cat does, in fact, have nine lives. I know how much you care for this worthless feline so what will it be?"

Spidey looks between her and him, clenching his fist in ball his knuckles cracked. Cat despite her predicament remained calmed as possible not wanting to give anything away, whoever was behind the Spider Mask really made a powerful enemy, and he was a perfect example of power besting her combat despite her years of training. Yet his words disturbed her, what did he mean that Spider-guy cared about her? Did he know her or was this just a rouse to get him to let down his guard completely?

"You want me to surrender? Alright, I'll surrender…"

Morlun smiled, "Good now come over here…"

"Sure…WEB TO THE FACE!"

Morlun was immediately grabbed the webbing tearing it off though not without a little struggle, organic webbing was bit stronger than artificial webbing, finally, he tears it off growling lowly. "You're dead totem when I catch you." He sees Peter sprinting with Felicia on his back jumping out of the window before giving chase.

Spider-Man quickly zips line from building to the next using his acrobat skills to move fast, nevertheless, pained groans from his passenger sent alarm bells ringing to him that Cat was not okay.

"You alright back there?"

"Nothing more than flesh wound…hrmm…" Cat sucked in a breath

"What happened?"

"After saving a few bystanders…hmm…he caught me off g-guard…ugh…*pant*…when I went back in…" Felicia put her head on his back head, "We…fought for a little while before…you…ahh…came in to play hero yet he still got the best of us. Broke my ribs…"

"Darn it! I really wish now we made it to the Power Plant."

"What's so important…about the power plant?"

"It's his weakness to radiation that's why I need to get there or else I'm dead."

"Quite true."

"Oh boy…" Morlun punched him out of the sky crashing into another building, both Spidey and Cat roll to a stop in an office building, sitting up Spidey rubs his cheek, he checks over to his temporary partner, "Cat?" He crawls over to her, she is out cold, "She out light like a light."

His spider-sense blazes to life, he turns to face powerful punch to the cheek, he is knocked down on the ground then he picked up by the scruff of his costume as the hunter's glowing red eyes pierced into his lens, "Enough games tonight you die totem…" A hand smothers his masked face, "Tonight I feast on your life force!"

Suddenly a hand grabs his wrist before he can perform his ritual. Morlun is surprised as he gazes upward to find a man with dark chocolate hair, with crystal blue eyes looking upon him with fire in them, there was an athletic build to him, he had square face outline. Although he was handsome in appearance it was the type of clothing he wore that was quite a sight to behold, his armor was white whiter than snow, the waist his shoulder plates with this golden shine that appeared to be alive, his gauntlets a very bright yellow and at his hand that held his wrist a green ring.

"He will live so says Elohim." The man said with authority, Morlun then is backhanded away from the boy, he skids to a stop as he kicks out from being tossed out the building. He grits his teeth staring in pure hatred towards the man as he comes between him and his meal. The man pulls out a sword from his sheath in salute position proceeding to grab it with both hands.

"Hmph, if you honestly think that toothpick of yours is going to stop me than your more naïve than I thought." The hunter stands up cracking his neck from side to side "You may have gotten lucky with that backhanded strike however I'm more powerful then you can imagine."

The man in the armor said nothing, he dropped into a stance pointing his sword at him as fire overtook the blade consuming it even though the blade never melted.

"That's impossible…what are you!?"

"A servant to the one most high." He responded, "Your days are numbered, you and your family. Should you still want the boy you'll have to go through me first."

"With pleasure."

The last thing Peter saw from his blurry vision was Morlun leaping towards Joel, he didn't understand what they were saying since his ears were ringing, he tried to keep his eyes open yet darkness clouded his vision soon enough he lost the battle as his eyes closed.

The girls were having a hard time with Vulture, the elderly man was proving to be difficult since they were fighting on his terms in the air; Gwen and MJ were chasing him throughout the city hot on his heels.

"Hey, Vulture didn't your mother teach you stealing is wrong?!" Gwen shouted

"You two are persistent!" He shouted back, "These jewels are insured, the only injured here is the two of you in a moment."

Suddenly he started sending some feathers towards them at an alarming pace, both the girls started dodging them letting go of the web line to avoid being hit though Gwen felt one scratch her arm.

"Ahh!" Gwen shot a web she swung, "You know for an old he's pretty dangerous."

"Yeah, no kidding."

Vulture hovered over a sign, "This will slow the pests down. What will it be wall crawlers; a couple of jewels or innocent lives?" He destroys a billboard sign at the hinges sending a barrage of feathers.

"He's insane!"

"Quick before that thing crushes everyone below."

Both Spiders themed girls make it in time to stop the billboard from falling, shooting multiple web lines to the back. Simultaneously, the girls heaved to steady the billboard nonetheless it was MJ who proved her strength as she did most of the work steadying the billboard in place.

Vulture cackled flying away, "So long suckers!"

"I do wonder which one of us is stronger? I could do a study…"

"GWEN! Now is not the time to be thinking about testing, just stabilize the damn thing or else Vulture is going to get away!"

"No need to shout."

Gwen webbed the hinges together enough for it to be stable, MJ took her place.

"Go I'll finish up here."

"Right."

Gwen concentrated with her spider sense quickly locating the criminal, she swung after him in haste. At the same time, Vulture cackled, "Now that those two are kept busy I can finally make it home free."

"Not on my watch you're not"

"What the!"

Gwen stomped on his back, "That's for trying attempted murder!"

"My wings! You damaged my beautiful wings!"

"I'll be damaging more than that!" Gwen quickly descended after him as she followed the trail of smoke, "He must be using electromagnetism in order to keep himself airborne, for a pretty smart guy that could be helped with air travels in the future, instead he uses his intelligence for his own selfish ambitions. Too bad I don't have a can of EMP to stop him."

Vulture lands trying to fix whatever damage the girl damaged, "Ugh curse that female insect! I don't have the proper tools to fix the damage!"

"Aww is the poor baby Vulture cry? Maybe spending time behind bars will soften you up."

"Away with you!" Vulture sends out another set of razor feathers towards the girl, she dodges them by rolling underneath them. Once again Vulture tries again with two sets, Gwen dodges the first by jumping over them, then dives down to the floor.

Thinking quickly she web his feet together tugging it hard causing him to fall on his back, she quickly stands up walking towards the fallen criminal. Vulture is ready to send more of his razor feathers to her yet Gwen had other ideas.

"Oh no, you don't." A giant web keeps his left arm pinned to his body, "That's enough high flying daredevil stunts for you Vulture, you're going to prison!"

"Curse you, you insolent brat! I will not be defeated by a mere child!"

"Well, you just got served by two of them you old geezer." Gwen shrugged, "Now are you coming quietly?"

Quickly Vulture looked to his right, he smirked, "I won't go down that easy girl, perhaps I could serve the people of the Big Apple a drink, they are quite thirsty."

"What are you doing!?" Without warning more razor feathers fired upon a tank of water, Spider-sense blazed into action as Gwen pinned down the right arm of the old man. "And stay down."

She had to move quickly or else that tank of water will kill everyone below, so far the tank was only leaning back and forth, quickly though panicked Gwen zoomed around webbing the tank in place, finally, she stopped panting hard.

"Finally…" She leaned on the webbed tank, though the tank was not completely secured it started leaning forward, "Oh no…"

Down below unsuspecting citizens felt a few drops of water upon them they stopped momentarily to look up in the sky, it was clear then why was it dropping raindrops?

"Oh, my…that tank is about to fall!"

Panic gripped them as they started screaming and running for their lives. Meanwhile, the third spider-bitten girl tried frantically tried to pull the tank back into place yet her feet skidded upon the pavement.

"I got to…ergh…keep this thing from falling…too heavy…" Gwen didn't know how strong she was compared to Maryjane it appeared that she was strong enough to hold the billboard so many questions ran through her mind.

"Keep that water tank right there, I'll try to web it down."

Gwen turned her head slightly to see a familiar face, MJ arrived in the nick of time as Gwen's feet hit the edge of the roof. Quickly as she could she began jumping all over the place securing the tank the side of the building.

"Do you think that webbing is going to hold it?" MJ said finishing her work

"I don't know but it's worth a shot…ow…" Gwen rubbed her biceps, "Let's call the police and let them take care of this."

MJ went over to Vulture taking his prize away from him, "Now you old geezer, you can't go around taking things that don't belong to you what kind of example are you setting for those youngsters out there."

It was 30 minutes later that the police and utility workers came by to collect the old buzzard head and repair the tank one of the police notice the web the jewels hanging next to him.

He smirked taking the prize away from him, "Come on old timer, we wouldn't want you falling before we could book you."

Elsewhere MJ and Gwen talked on a separate building far away from prying eyes or anyone who could hear them talk.

"Now let's focus on Peter."

"Where is he?" Asked Maryjane, "You said that he could be in trouble so you do what you have to do."

Gwen placed a hand on her temple concentrating, "He that way due west, it appears that he is unconscious."

"You know what Gwen, let's call it a night I'm sure he's fine."

"But…"

"Gwen our families must be worried about us please let's just go home." MJ pleaded, "I've had enough fun for one night so please let's just go."
