Chapter 2: Chase a Spider. Meet a Devil
Korra entered the old apartment building Mako and Bolin lived in. It had been two weeks since Chief Beifong had put out an arrest warrant for Spider-Man, and no one had seen him since. It seemed that knowing there was a full warrant for his arrest made the masked vigilante more cautious, as the police were still getting reports of people being saved by a mysterious figure. The Avatar couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty about trying to capture the vigilante who saved not only Bolin's life, but was saving plenty of other people's as well. Her thoughts were soon forgotten as a flash appeared in front of her face when she turned a corner. Korra tried to blink away the spots in her eyes, and looked at the source of the flash and saw a boy, roughly her age, holding a camera in his hands. He had jet black hair, dark skin, and blue eyes, clearly identifying him as Water Tribe. He wore a pair of circular glasses, a red shirt, blue pants, and dark brown shoes The boy smiled sheepishly and said,
"Sorry, my finger slipped. I'm still getting used to this new camera." Korra took note of the awkward look on his face.
"It's fine. What's your name?" Korra said, trying to ease some of his embarrassment.
"Pahka. I'd ask yours, but I knew the second I watched you come in." Pahka said, then instantly back peddled and said,
"I mean I wasn't watching you, I just saw you come in." Korra nodded as she looked him over.
"You don't have much experience talking to girls do you?" The Avatar asked as Pahka sighed and responded,
"Is it that obvious?" The two teens conversation was cut short however when a voice from one of the apartments called out,
"Pahka! Come quick there's a big spider on the counter!" The boy sighed and yelled back,
"Coming Aunt Mai!" Pahka turned back to Korra and said,
"Um, see ya around I guess?" Korra smiled and replied,
"Sure."
"I just don't know what to do." Korra said as Mako was busy cooking himself and Bolin some lunch.
"All I know is that Spider-Man saved my life! So what if he's a vigilante, he's doing stuff the police can't. He's a hero!" Bolin said as Pabu nuzzled the small scar on his owner's neck.
"Look, the guy is doing stuff outside the law and that's never okay. Chief Beifong even said he put people in danger, what kind of 'hero' does that?" Mako said as he stirred a stew of some kind, causing his little brother to go quiet. The young Avatar was about to argue that fact, when the sound of a window opening caught everyone's attention. They looked and saw none other than Spider-Man! Mako immediately got into a fighting stance, while Korra and Bolin just stood still.
"Relax, I'm not here to fight. I just wanted to tell Korra that I know she's been on my tail." Spider-Man said as Mako dropped his guard some. Korra was a little shocked, but then again she was asking around a lot if anyone had seen him so it wouldn't be hard for him to figure it out.
"I'm also here to say that I won't let you turn me in. I have a responsibility to these people, and I'd never forgive myself if someone got hurt because I didn't step in. That's happened one time to many." The masked man said as he turned to exit through the window.
"What do you mean it's you're responsibility? What gives you the right to do this?" Korra asked. Spider-Man simply turned his head slightly before saying in a dark voice,
"With great power, comes great responsibility." And with that the masked crusader leaped out of the window. The three teens rushed over to look out, but they didn't see him anywhere.
"Okay, this guy's good." Korra said as Mako and Bolin nodded dumbly.
LATER THAT NIGHT
Korra rode Naga through the streets of Republic City, heading back to the Air Temple. However, as she passed an alleyway she heard screaming. Immediately she leaped off Naga and ran toward the commotion. She reached the source of the scream and saw a woman being harassed by a group of men. Before the young Avatar could move to step in, a red streak came down from the top of a building and tackled one of the men down thus knocking him out. The red blur quickly struck two more men in the head, then threw a kunai at the man that was holding the woman and pinned his arm to the wall. He then rushed over and punched the would be rapist hard in the face.
It was at this point Korra caught a glimpse of the figure. It looked like a red demon, possessing horns and red eyes along with a crimson body. Korra could barely believe her eyes.
"Who are you?" The Avatar asked.
"Pass this onto Chief Beifong. Inferno's Kitchen is under Daredevil's watch." The red clad figure said in a deep voice as it then disappeared deeper into the dark alley. Korra stood frightened, but calmed herself as she said,
"The Chief's not gonna like this."
