3 Days Earlier
"What's up Fury." Spider-Man strode into the debriefing room, shoulders thrown back. He was walking with his usual cocky swagger.
"Spider-Man," Fury glowered. "You're late."
"Sorry Fury, got distracted."
With a slight frown, a boy with long blond hair and a skin tight green suit with a dragon on the front glanced up at Spider-Man. "Arriving late is a way of saying your own time is more valuable than that of the one waiting for you."
"Thanks for the fortune cookie Iron Fist… Minus the cookie."
Nova laughed and White Tiger rolled her eyes under her mask, "He has a point though Web-Head. What were you doing anyhow?"
"Well if you must know, homework."
"Homework?" Nova sneered. "Since when do you do homework?"
"Since… Always."
"Alright, alright, enough you two." Fury, one eyed director of shield interrupted their spat with a tone of finality. "I called you here to inform you, Scorpion got away."
Iron Fist's eyes flashed and Power Man stood, "All right, let's go take him down?"
"No."
"What!?" Five outraged voices protested.
Before their protests got out of hand, Director Fury raised his hand to quiet them. "I know you are all itching to punch something, but we don't know where he is yet. I just thought you all should know now."
The others all suddenly got very interested in the wall, none wanted to look at Iron Fist. They all knew why Fury was telling them. Scorpion had been raised with Iron Fist. They were pretty much brothers, and Scorpion had tried to kill him to take the throne. For Iron Fist was supposed to be the next ruler of the mythical city of Kun 'Lun and Scorpion had been jealous.
"Peter, Ava, Luke, Sam, Danny," Fury looked at each of them in turn. "You had better get going. Colson won't be happy if you are late to school… Again."
"Yes Sir!" They all jumped up, glad for the distraction.
Ten minutes later, they were all walking together down the road towards Midtown High. Glancing back, Peter noticed Danny lagging behind the others and slowed down to wait for him. Throwing one arm around the blond boy's shoulders, Peter ginned. "Hey Danny, you doing alright?"
Pushing his arm off, Danny shrugged. "Fine."
"Don't give me that! I think I know you well enough to know that something's wrong. Is it about Scorpion?"
"Scorpion? Why should it be?" Walking faster, Danny left Peter behind, but his mind was spinning. Of course it is about Scorpion. He almost killed me, and he is filled with so much hatred, he will do anything for revenge. I'm afraid, afraid that he will come after my friends… My family… To get back at me.
