After he sealed off the hallway, Archer turned around and ran towards the Goblin. He drew his knives, and jumped onto the wall. As he ran, he got onto the ceiling above the Goblin, and with a roar, jumped off, driving his knives straight into his back.
The Goblin gave a howl of pain, and swatted him off. Archer crashed through a wall and landed beside a scared little girl. Her eyes widened, and she stood next to two dead adults- her parents, presumably.
She started sniffling, and suddenly screamed. Goblin, who had just knocked Spider-Man into the room, had entered, and was looking straight at her.
"Hello, little girl," he drawled.
She started crying. As this was happening, Spidey started getting up.
"Parker," he whispered, "get the girl outta here. I've got big, green, and ugly." Spidey looked at him, before grabbing the girl and swinging out the window. Archer turned to the monstrosity in front of him, and snapped his bow into it's full glory.
The dark red bowstring was the only part not midnight black, and it seemed to be made from Hell itself. It glowed with an untold power, and when he drew an arrow back, you could hear souls screaming in agony.
"Let's play," Archer growled. He released the arrow.
Goblin moved out of the way, but Archer shot a web at it, and redirected it into his back. The explosion threw him through the side of the building, and out onto the street. Panicked civilians screamed, and many ran from the soon-to-be fight zone.
Goblin roared and turned, to be met with a hard metal boot to the face. He spun, and he was aware of blood coming from his mouth, back, and face. This child is turning from a nuisance to a problem, he thought. He drew a bomb from his belt, and turned to throw it.
"PEEK-A-BOO, I SEE YOU!" Archer screamed, releasing enough arrows to make a Spartan wet himself. What was worse was that they were heat-seeking- and the Goblin was a huge mass of heated flesh and blood. He screamed in terror.
They tore into him, some going right through his body. Others got stuck half-way, or just pierced the arrowheads into his skin. Some were were explosive, some were electrocution, some were firebombs, and some were plain arrowheads. All hurt.
He flew into the same building, and his glider was smashed beyond recognition. He coughed up blood, and tried to open his eyes. What he saw scared him.
Archer was standing above him, emitting an aura of power, fear, and terror. He was probably hallucinating, but he would later swear he saw black angel wings, black flames, and the Devil Himself standing behind Archer, licking his lips.
"You won't hurt or scare anyone ever again," Archer growled, whipping out his knives. Goblin spluttered and pleaded for mercy. He gave none.
[Line Break]
Spidey finished gathering the civilians, and was now on the Tri-Carrier for debrief.
"... we just scanned the site, and the Goblin is nowh-" Suddenly, a loud thump interrupted Coulson's disturbing yet monotonously boring speech. All heads turned to the doorway. Several SHIELD agents cowered fearfully before Archer, who stood above a lump of green flesh and a blue/grey jumpsuit.
Holes were visible in his suit, and those that were open showed his internal organs, including his heart.
"By God, I swear..." Coulson gasped. Fury's mouth was agape, and he stared at Archer with a mixture of awe, fear, terror, disgust, and pride. The team was green and sick, but still in awe.
"Fury," Archer said quietly, "I take it none of these guys were there when it happened?" The team looked confused, along with the SHIELD agents, excluding Coulson. Coulson and Fury were pale as paper.
Suddenly, his wounds healed, first on the inside, then out, leaving red scars and welts, before being covered by the black suit. Tiger wasn't sure, but did someone turn up the heat in here?
"N-N-No, they weren't," Fury finally stammered, before his face hardened. "You know none of them are here."
The mask was peeled back, and his face was revealed to the others. He had a twisted grin on his face, and a glint in his eye. "I'm very thorough. You know that, Nick," he growled.
"Sir?" one of the agents asked, who was very thankful for her helmet covering her red face. "Stand down... You can't hurt him, much less kill him," Fury sighed. The agents lowered their now-empty plasma rifles, much to their disbelief.
"Team," Fury started, turning towards them, "I'd like you to meet Daniel McKenna, nickname Poet. Also known as Arachnid Archer. He is a current on/off SHIELD agent and... the product of and one of the 3 only survivors of SHIELD's Weapon X project."
