Peter quickly threw on his new clothes and grabbed his revolver belt, hat and coat "oh my mask" he gasped as he doubled back for his mask and changed on the run.

Marek and the others heard the screams from the bank and had already made their way towards it Sasha perched herself on the inn roof with her rifle pointed at the bank entrance. While Laura ducked back in an alley leaving Marek, Colt and Rawhide with their pistols drawn to enter the bank "this really isn't our problem you know" Colt said,

"Maybe not but still its principal" Rawhide replied.

Peter dawned his mask and jumped over to the bank dropping down beside the others "where was my invite?" he asked,

Colt jumped at the sight of Peter's mask "god damn it get rid of that thing those eyes freaking terrifying" he shuddered.

"Oh shut up you two" Marek hissed as he barged into the bank, "reach for the sky!" Peter shouted. The bank fell silent as all eyes including his friends all turned to him all of them stunned that he said something so stupid "ok you go sit over there and be quiet" Marek ordered.

"Ha-ha still picking kids as partners…pathetic Marek as always"

Marek turned back to the open vault only to see a man in a black cloak carrying a saddle bag his face exposed he was identical to Marek, "hello Miles" Marked deadpanned cocking his revolver but the man he addressed as Miles smugly scoffed at him "my name is Shade and if you want your little blond piece of tail to live you'll drop those weapons" he calmly stated in a matter of fact tone.

Colt and Rawhide brought their guns up and cocked them "you're in no position to threaten us!" Colt snapped, Shade smiled still "you would think you boys would be shocked to realize I knew you were coming"

The atmosphere changed and an unsettling wave washed through the bank "my men have Sasha and the Winchester broad… very crafty Marek never would have figured you taking the help of a Winchester sister but still my men have them and every vantage point on the bank covered so again drop your weapons or die in a hail of gun fire and be slaughtered like sheep" Shade finished.

Marked fixed him a hate fueled scowl his hands white knuckling the pistol in his hand but Shade remained undeterred "what's it going to be little brother save the girl or take revenge and doom your entire team because I don't think you'd survive being shot again"

Marek kept Shade fixed his eyes darkened with absolute desire to pull the trigger when Peter placed his hand on his wrist "Marek not here not like this he has the girls we can't risk it…" Marek's arm remained locked. "Kid this might be my only chance to end this!" Marek snarled, "Marek were Parkers we make our own opportunities…you'll get another one" Peter whispered.

Marek gave in and lowered his pistol letting fall to the floor and the others followed his lead their revolvers hit the floor with heavy thuds and Shade walked out with his bag in hand stopping right next to Marek "still unwilling to make sacrifices, you'll never stop me by being weak little brother I thought you would have learned that when I put 4 bullets in Billy's chest…since I'm not a complete asshole…this wasn't a bank robbery by the way I'm taking the girls as insurance you can pick them up in a few days follow me and they die" he finished with an almost frost bitten voice and left the bank with a cocky swagger.

And then Marek did something peculiar, he started smirking "he thinks he's won…" Shade stepped across the threshold and a bullet narrowly missed his head blasting splinters of wood from the door, he doubled back inside ducking behind the open door.

"I always come prepared Miles you bring an army I bring an immortal man with claws!" Marek boasted picking up his revolver, Shade slung the saddle bag over his shoulder and drew a double barrelled shotgun and fired on the group Colt and Rawhide dove for their guns while Peter jumped to the roof more bullets started punching through the walls it was like a hail storm of lead inside. As more men stormed inside brandishing guns off all calibers ("guns, guns and more guns this is not a good day") Peter fired his web snares first trapping several men Rawhide and Colt were quick on the trigger gunning down anyone within their sights Marek tried to work his way towards shade who was working over to the door firing scatter patterns Colt and Rawhide were eventually pushed back behind the teller counters.

Outside James was picking off Shades snipers one by one his claws dug deep into one man's spine and just as the his partner came to help James pulled the man into the line of fire at the last second he cast him aside and dug his claws into the attackers throat an animalistic rush consumed him he relished in the adrenaline, the smell of blood soaked fear.

Sasha and Laura kept picking off straggler gunmen but Shades army was infinite so it seemed, then a metallic click sounded from a rifle Sasha ran out of bullets. "Crap! Hope the boys can handle things from here" she shouted over to Laura.

The bank lobby filled with dust and smoke as the smell of burnt powder and hot lead filled the room soon there was a wall of smoke Colt and Rawhide were pinned, Marek was out of Peter's line of sight bullets whizzed by his ears even with his spider sense guiding him there was always another bullet from another direction, debris was blowing off the walls the room was in chaos and Peter just caught a glimpse of Marek diving out the door "Colt, Rawhide you guys ok?" Peter shouted,

"A little stuck, any suggestions?" Colt shouted back.

Peter dropped to floor snatching one of Shades men and threw him into the wall when he noticed the pistol that he dropped the barrel was long and sleek with a smooth cylinder the handle was off set from the frame with black and gold trim and the words python 44 engraved on the barrel "nice" Peter whispered to himself. He tucked the pistol into his belt and picked up a nearby table to use as a shield while he backed over to Colt and Rawhide "Spidey express final boarding call!" he laughed.

Colt and Rawhide looked up at him with an amused partially exhausted expression "you…" the counter top was blasted into splinters forcing Peter to drop it and roll beside the others "…they have a cannon" he gasped "do we have cannons?"

Another destructive blast devastated another section of the teller counter blowing a part of the wall out "kid where's Marek at?" Colt shouted over the continuing gun fire, but just as he asked Shade rode by on a grey horse catching him off guard "steal?" he choked.

Peter & Rawhide looked over as the color faded from Colts face "that was my father's horse…that bastard has my horse!" Colt whipped around the counter guns blazing every shot found a target, one by one Shades remaining men were blown off their feet. Colt was possessed seeing Shade on what he believed to be his horse vexed him he wasn't fazed by the bullets ricocheting by his feet.

It happened so fast that there wasn't much time to process but when the smoke cleared Colt in the middle of the street the road and porches riddled with bodies and blood soaked clothes.

"HOLY SHI…" Laura exclaimed as she and Sasha came into view and saw Colts handy work, but Colt didn't stop to socialise he ran to the post where their horses were tied and rode after Shade and steal with the others pursuing him.

They rode at full gallop following Colt into a small canyon pass when something made him stop. Long enough for the team to catch up, he was staring at the enclosed plain rocks, dead trees, shrubs all surrounded by canyon walls a perfect spot for an ambush. "Oh man, idiot!" Peter heard Colt hiss to himself.

Marek finally joined them staring at the canyon pass "what are we waiting for he's in there isn't he?" he asked anxiously, Colt nodded but then pointed to the canyon itself and Marek's determination faded "ambush alley great" he sighed.

"Ambush alley?" asked a confused Peter

Everyone began discarding their empty casings and reloading their weapons "this narrow canyon is a prime place to set up and easily dispatch travelers, high walls low valley…fish in a barrel" Rawhide said.

"And we're going in there? Man I don't even need my spider sense to tell me that this is bad plan!" Peter retorted, but his protest fell on deaf ears as the team rode into the canyon ("ok when I get back home first thing I'm doing is asking Ava how she managed to get her point across because seriously nobody even acknowledged my protesting") regardless Peter followed after the team into ambush alley it wasn't long before his spider sense went haywire "awe man I hate when I'm right about these things, run!" he shouted.

Bullets started raining down on them scaring the horses causing them to throw their riders off into the dirt, and ran off leaving the team scramble for what little cover there was "brilliant plan Parker!" James growled.

"Oh like you had a better plan?" Marek spat back, more bullets assaulted the canyon floor Colt was the first to fall victim, the first bullet tore through his shoulder the second pierced his abdomen then Colt fell to the ground his blood soaking the dirt.

"Colt!" Sasha cried fear gripping her heart as rivers of blood ran from Colts body his eyes squinted as he fought to remain conscious, she crawled over to her friend using the brush as cover but even in hiding the bullets found her like snakes tracking mice. Two bullets ripped through her leg Sasha laid there inches from helping Colt but unable to do so, Sasha was normally a tough girl but as she laid there watching her friend bleed out she realized that everybody was going to die here and that she was going to leave this earth with only a life half lived and she began to cry.

Before Colts eyes closed, Rawhide was the next to fall the hot lead burned as it passed through his body his blood sprayed over the weeds and rocks the final bullet took his hat from his head and the wind carried it through the canyon.

Laura tried to help but tripped and hit a rock knocking her out.

Because of his Spider sense Peter was able to dodge everything that came him,

Marek and James stood back to back trying to get a vantage on the shooters but it also made them easier targets, a bullet punched through James chest and into Marek's back. Peter was alone as he dodged each and every bullet "come on Spidey the team needs you and dancing around isn't helping anybody" he told himself "live today save the team fight tomorrow" with that Peter took a deep breath he would heel after a good night sleep but he had to save the team so Peter turned allowing a bullet just to wing his arm giving the impression of being hit.

"they're all dead boss" said one of the men upon the cliff edge looking down on the team, Shade knelt down to observe the carnage his men created "well done Bull" he praised patting the man on the back "leave them for the buzzards…we have a meeting to attend in Louisiana before we meet the boss in Kansas"

Peter waited and watched through silhouettes of his lenses as Shade and 12 other riders rode away as he sat up to see James pushing himself off the ground "for once I'm glad that you heal instantly" he choked "give me a hand these guys need help quickly!"

the team is down! caught in ambush even with Peter & James still awake to help will they make it?

Shade & Marek are brothers with a blood stained past,

and Shade has a boss, who does a blood betraying, homicidal gunslinger obey?
