Peter had been out on patrol that afternoon in Hell's Kitchen and had interfered in an arms deal; taking on the criminals easily and soon they were down to the last guy who was taken down from behind by a set of billy clubs. "Getting better; still think that you should talk less but much better than how you were before I found you." Daredevil told him with an impressed look on his face as he came forward to his student.

"Hey you have your thing and I have mine plus my sponsors expect a certain quota of quippage in every fight." Peter joked back as Daredevil shook his head and then Peter looked up noticing Liz as Firestar soaring in and flying into the area. "Hey teach; I don't think you met Firestar yet, have you?" Peter told him as Liz came closer.

"Spidey; I saw you swinging here but it looks like you have it all sorted... Wait..." Liz stated with a smile but then noticed Daredevil and took a closer look. She gasped as she realised who he was and said "no way... You're Daredevil! I have been to forums that debate whether you are still alive... Do you know each other? How long?"

"Daredevil is actually kind of my mentor; he has been teaching me to fight ever since just after Jameson became the Mayor. Doesn't really come out into the field anymore but I bet he can still beat up an entire hallway of people just like in his prime!" Peter introduced as Daredevil sighed as they saw Liz take all this in.

"All this time and you haven't seen fit to tell me ever since we have been partners for a while now?" Liz asked with a huff and her arms folded as Peter realised that there still was a lot that he hadn't told her.

"Well to be fair you two don't exactly seem to be patrolling together as regularly as partners; you seem to be mostly involved in the supervillains and the rescues. Not to downplay any of that but do you even know how to fight hand to hand? I think that could be why you don't fight the normal goons; unable to do much without scorching them alive?" Daredevil asked and Peter had realised that he hadn't considered that point before.

"Well... No... Not exactly..." Liz admitted shaking her head but then her eyes widened as she got an idea. "Hey; you think that you could teach me as well? I may not have super strength like Spidey but learning to fight could be helpful too..." Liz asked and Peter looked pleased with the idea and Daredevil grunted as he nodded his head.

Peter and Liz took the criminals to the police when they arrived and then Peter showed Liz his usual sparring location with Daredevil to start her lessons; definitely a steep learning curve when she doesn't have the enhanced agility and strength that Peter had but it would be a start.

Then they heard a boom...


Fisk was in his trashed office having thrown underlings out physically after they brought him unfortunate news that representatives sent to Chinatown to make an example out of the Demons had their sliced off heads returned; how was so much things spiralling out of control. He was already ready to snap learning that his top henchman the Prowler was actually caught and arrested for the first time; he had been such helpful throughout his life as a crime lord and he could always count on him being loyal to him first and foremost even when he was taking on different clients.

The last person that he considered a friend or a loved one...

He heard commotion outside and heard the sounds of punches and kicks; he ran out and was furious to see the Goblin himself had invaded his hideout. "Wilson Fisk in the flesh; I think that the camera adds ten pounds and you wouldn't believe the goons of you I had to hold onto the air and threatened to drop from skyscraper height before I got enough info to track you down... You know that I must say that I expected better knowing that the Kingpin himself had escaped from prison and was going back to running things here in New York but I guess the man himself doesn't live up to the legend..." Norman remarked sounding disappointed and Fisk lunged at him with his cane but Norman was easily able to just keep dodging and dodging. "Wow; looks like you are past your prime, should make it easier to dispose you as the Kingpin..." yawned Norman in a taunting voice as Fisk grew more furious by the second.

"You are not the first upstart hot shot who thought that they could dispose me to become the new Kingpin; New York is my city..." Fisk ranted and Norman began giggling mockingly.

"What victories have you got against Spider-Man? He has been beating your goons and you have been struggling to keep things together; I know for a fact that the Demons don't take you seriously and I think the reason is that the New York you left isn't the same New York you entered... Times changed; Doc Ock was able to easily kill the Gentleman and take over his operations and bring the city to it's knees with his Sinister Six... The criminal element in this city needs to evolve and a new breed of criminal to take over... You know that you could give me pointers to pass the torch; especially since your Devil has been giving lessons to Spider-Man!" Norman told him and Fisk stood still in shock.

"No... He would never show his face... He is dead... YOU'RE LYING! DON'T LIE TO ME!" Fisk thundered as Norman ran out and Fisk saw all of his men beaten up on the ground thanks to Norman. Norman then called for his glider through the window and then jumped on it. He then threw a bunch of his grenades causing an explosion with Fisk unable to be thrown out of way by his bodyguards in time as they reached some explosive material and Fisk found his life flashing before his eyes up to a certain key event...


What seemed like a lifetime ago in Fisk Tower and Fisk was in his office overlooking sending his men to use all their weaponry to keep the authorities distracted and stop them from getting to him before he could clear his servers and escape; they had gotten enough evidence to call for a warrant for his arrest. He needed to escape and give put a plan together to beat the charges; lawyer up and restore his squeaky clean image. He had done it before but the servers had plenty of evidence that could do him in.

Right now he was directing his wife Vanessa and young son Richard to the helicopter to get them to safety; he would use another way to escape. "Wilson; what is going on... Why would the police be coming here..." Vanessa questioned as Fisk just pushed her and him inside shaking his head; all these years of keeping his other life away from her. He watched the helicopter go up in the air but noticed someone ambushing the pilot and opened up the window to jump out landing on the heliport.

Fisk noticed it was the smirking dark blue bodysuit wearing Benjamin Poindexter was a FBI agent that was investigating him that he corrupted into being his costumed assassin known as Bullseye; skilled enough to kill someone with the most basic of items as weapons and a master shot. He had tried to eliminate him as part of loose ends and Bullseye assaulted his men as he made his way downstairs and Fisk just focused on looking at the crashing helicopter with him shouting for his wife and son.

He watched in horror as it crashed into a building; the fire really lighting up the sky in the cold dark night and Fisk didn't allow himself to grief as he ran down to find and destroy Bullseye for this. He got him at the main computer room and Bullseye had downloaded all his dirty deeds onto a drive; "Put that down Bullseye!" warned Daredevil going into the area with his billy club ready and Fisk looked on in fury at his two most hated rivals.

"Why don't I kill you with your own club just like I used your ninja girlfriend's own sai to kill her?" taunted Bullseye and the 3 had a long bloody drawn out fight against eachother with Bullseye coming down first and Daredevil claiming the flash drive and then focusing on Fisk.

"Why did you force me to create Bullseye? All this is on you; my wife and son... Their blood is on your hands..." Fisk ranted getting him down and then trying to choke him to death by strangling his neck.

"There... There are no... Happy endings in your line of work Fisk..." retorted Daredevil as he pushed him back and got him knocked down with a club to the face and then put the flash drive into his bloodied jacket pocket. Then entered the authorities including police & FBI; Daredevil turned to leave and the officers noticing the Kingpin down allowed him to leave with no questions asked as they took Fisk into custody; the flash drive on his person would help seal his fate and the testimonies of his men...


Peter & Liz had found the exploded building as they were followed by Daredevil and looked in shock at it; even after all this time of being superheroes it was never easy thinking of the people in danger from fires. They went in and began getting people outside and they were stunned to find Kingpin struggling underneath debris. "The Kingpin? Was this his hideout and we were rescuing his men?" Peter asked shocked but criminals or not; they had a duty and helped to pick up the debris and Fisk noticed Daredevil and he was open mouthed.

"So... You are in league with him... The Goblin was right..." Fisk muttered as he pushed Peter & Liz back as they tried to help him up and tried to face Daredevil in a fighting stance. "You are going to regret ever putting on that mask again..." Fisk ranted as they looked at him dumbstruck as Daredevil tried to grab his arm only to get pushed back as he tried to fight Daredevil.

"Fisk; we need to get you out of here... The building is going to come down on us all..." Daredevil told him but Fisk kept trying to fight as Daredevil just grew more frustrated. "Be sensible... You are really going to burn here trying to continue a fight that ended long ago... There is no reason to fight..." Daredevil snapped at Fisk and Fisk roared at him.

"All the more reason to fight; Spider-Man took my best man from me and it was your fault that I lost my family..." Fisk ranted only to get webbed in the mouth and tied up in web by Peter who lost his patience and picked him up so that they rest could get the remainder of the people outside.

Peter brought Fisk to the police and firefighters as they were stunned as they recognised him; Peter felt his Spider-Sense go off and pushed everyone back as there Norman on his glider swooping down and picking up Fisk; they all heard a crack as Norman had managed to snap Fisk's neck and dropped him to the ground with them in shock as he flew away too fast to be followed.

"The Kingpin is dead... Long live the Kingpin!" Norman laughed out loud so that they could hear him.


School at Midtown was quite a buzz to hear that the Kingpin's hideout blew up and Spider-Man & Firestar had cleared everyone out including the captured Wilson Fisk himself; only for the Green Goblin to swoop in and just kill the Kingpin easily. A feared crime lord and his life had ended with a whimper and not a bang. Fear for the Green Goblin grew and Peter could hardly care about the Mayor once again ranting about Spider-Man helping to escalate the costumed freaks.

Harry himself was scared of this Green Goblin; another super powered terrorist like the six that had targeted his father and his company the previous year. Times were changing; this green skinned 'bigfoot' like creature that had first been spotted years ago in the wild kept getting more and more sightings and reports and there was this man who could fly and shoot lightning with his hammer and claimed to be the Norse god Thor despite been blonde haired instead of red haired (dismissed by most outlets as probably a fraud or someone with delusions). Things were silent between him and his classmates and Harry was kind of glad as he would want to put off explaining to Peter about the squabble that Harry had with Peter's girlfriend Liz.

Harry had gotten home with his chauffeur with less than stellar grades; he came to his father's study and heard his father arguing with the board of Vipers Worldwide, apparently they were wanting more results. Harry heard mentions of 'Stark' and Harry thought of the billionaire weapons designer who was captured by terrorists out of the country and had somehow escaped; getting a change of attitude and had decided to shut down his entire weapons program causing a lot of commotion. Pretty weird change of heart if you asked Harry considering the man with his moustache lived the perfect lifestyle with parties, drinking, dating models and being on first name terms with a lot of important people. The US Military & Vipers were strong clients of his company and would be looking to Oscorp to replace them and so Vipers were expecting quick results again.

Harry knew that his father hated him listening in to his business calls and would be furious if he knew about his dealings with Vipers.

Norman stormed out and found Harry holding out his test results; he snatched it away with Harry gulping as he knew that his father was in nowhere near the right mood to be looking at THOSE grades. "Besides dinner and shower; you are to be studying until bed time. I see grades like these again then I should be considering alternative heirs to Oscorp." Norman commanded Harry and he understood thinking that if he could talk to Liz about her family selling Allan Chemicals then it could help get his favour.

"Got it dad... Sorry..." Harry replied going to his room and Norman glared at him as he slapped his forehead.

"Have I taught you anything... An Osborn never apologises..." Norman retorted shaking his head as he left as he had a lot of work to do that night with Harry nodding at his father's direction before he left to his room...


That night Peter & Liz were being trained by Daredevil but things were tense remembering about the death of the Kingpin that they witnessed but things were alright; afterwards Peter went on patrol and found his Spider-Sense go off and there was Norman on his glider with his blade slicing through his web and Peter caught himself as he landed on top of a building.

"You have got to love Adamantium blades on this thing; Osborn was no Scrooge in putting this together!" Norman laughed as he jumped down and went to fight Peter with Norman fighting hard and brutal but Peter keeping up even as Norman moved like him. "You know we are not too different; the only major difference is the paths that we walk... You chose the path of the Hero and I chose my path..." Norman told him kicking him back as Peter groaned as he felt his ribs in that kick.

"You're a maniac..." Peter remarked and Norman looked his way; "What is your goal? Causing chaos..." Peter asked and Norman shook his head.

"You think that I killed Fisk just to destabilise the criminal underworld and purge the city into chaos? I am not a maniac; I am a builder. I am going to create a new New York city and a new criminal underworld in my image... But every artist needs a blank canvas." Norman retorted as he punched at Peter's face with him groaning in pain. "You protect these feeble people but what have they ever done to you? True they shout and thank you but what has this city ever given you? The Mayor hated your guts and his task force hunted you down like a rabid dog; you know the cops would love any excuse to start it up again and finish the job so why bother..." Norman told him looking like he was giving some friendly advice.

"I bother because... It's right..." Peter retorted and Norman shook his head.

"I see you and what you potential you have and it's like the son that I always wanted. I can show you that with our power we can take what we want; you saw how I was able to take Fisk out so I can take his criminal empire and they will fall in line soon enough. This entire city shall be mine and you could be right by my side; think about it..." Norman told him summoning his glider and flying off as Peter regained his strength.

"What no speech about how Obi-Wan didn't tell me what happened to my father and how you are my father... Oww..." Peter groaned trying to quip but felt his pain; he gave it a few minutes to heal enough so that he could web sling home and get some rest. The Green Goblin was strong and could move like him and he was after to corrupt him like Venom did; he needed to find a way to take the Goblin down somehow...

Goblin's speech about being a builder was inspired by the similar speech from Gotham & from the man who would become the Joker. Plus all the other speech parts inspired by the first Sam Raimi movie.
