Serpent Society : Part 2
Rooftop, somewhere in New York City
Anaconda shouted "Go up together! Be careful not to get hit by the electric stick in his hand!" as the Serpent Society's members engage in battle with me while disregarding their own injuries.
Even though I am in control of the current situation but I need to defeat these idiots first before I can find out who sent them to attack me.
Deflecting the darts from King Cobra with my electric sticks, I jump about the rooftop avoiding all their attacks.
Blocking Death Adder's talon attacks, I kick Death Adder's stomach sending him flying away.
After that I follow up my attack by throwing several electric wingding towards Rattlesnake.
Rattlesnake was surprised by my sudden attack attempt to dodge the wingdings but in hurry to avoid the wingdings he lost his balance causing the attack to hit him squarely in the chest.
As the electric wingdings electrocuted him, I quickly leap towards Rattlesnake and hit hit several times on the head with my sticks before delivering a powerful hit on his face sending him smashing into the ground unconscious.
"Rattlesnake!" Anaconda shouted in shock.
Seeing that Rattlesnake is knocked unconscious, Anaconda keeps attacking recklessly like a madman in an attempt to hit me and restrict my movement.
At the same time, King Cobra runs towards me and attempts to grab me from behind but I dodge him by leaping towards Anaconda.
Catching Anaconda off guard, I strike her hard in the stomach sending her flying and crashing beside Bushmaster. The hit knocks the air out of Anaconda causing her to drop unconscious beside Bushmaster.
Quickly webbing them up to the ground, I jump backward to avoid Death Adder's poison tail.
Backing off from Death Adder's and King Cobra's attack, I quickly shoot my webbing towards Rattlesnake to make sure he can't escape if he wakes up.
King Cobra shouted "Asshole, stay still!" as he delivered a kick towards my leg.
Avoiding King Cobra's kick, I move side to side to avoid Death Adder's claws and tail.
I counter Death Adder's attack by striking hard at his stomach and face with my sticks. As I continue hitting Death Adder nonstop preventing him from catching his breath, I also use my sticks to block King Cobra's attack at the same time.
"Stop ignoring me!" King Cobra shouted feeling annoyed.
Finally I stuck Death Adder's stomach with a fierce blow, he is sent flying at great speed while spouting a mouthful of blood toward unconscious Rattlesnake.
As Death Adder smashed into Rattlesnake, I quickly web both of them together.
Astonishment and fear showed up in King Cobra's eyes as he noticed that he was the last man standing.
Giving a smile at King Cobra intimidatingly, I said "Hehehe! You have my full attention now!".
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" King Cobra shouted nervously.
As I raise one of my sticks above my head intimidatingly showing that I am going to attack him. King Cobra said hurriedly "Let's stop fighting! We admit defeat! We surrender! Call the cops!".
I halted my step and stared fiercely at King Cobra as he kneel on his knees and raised his hands in surrender.
Holding the stick in a threatening manner, I asked "Who paid the Serpent Society to attack me?".
Shaking nervously as he glanced at all his companions before looking at me, King Cobra quickly answered "I really don't know! I swear I am telling the truth! If I know, I will surely tell you! The Serpent Society has the practice of not finding out about our clients and we never meet our clients face to face!".
Listening to his heartbeat, I know he is telling the truth. I asked "How did you get paid?".
"We are paid cash. The money is dropped at drop zones that we have selected" King Cobra answered.
Seeing that I can't get any more useful information from King Cobra, I stood there pondering who is pulling the strings.King Cobra looked at me nervously and after a few seconds of hesitation said "Er... Mr Nightwing...".
"What?" I snapped back at him since he disturbed my train of thought.
Flinching slightly, King Cobra hesitatingly said "Err... we will give you all the money, if you let us go!".
"How much is my bounty?" I said as I glanced at him seeing that King Cobra was squirming around nervously.
"$100 million" King Cobra answered before continuing "Err... so are you letting us go?" as he grin at me with slight confidence.
"Nope!" I replied immediately.
Without warning, I started electrocuting him with my stick until he dropped unconscious. "Arghhhhh!!!" King Cobra screamed.
Few minutes later...
After Oracle hacked through the jamming signal, I called Fury's wing wave.
"Nightwing! What do you want? Make it quick! I am busy right now, my phone is ringing off the hook!" Fury snapped as he picked up the line.
"I have some special delivery for you. What do you say about having some snakes in your plane?" I said
"What?" Fury said in a confused tone.
After explaining the whole situation to Director Fury, he sent a group of SHIELD agents to detain the Serpent Society.

Nightwing Base
I am sitting in front of the computer monitor doing my investigation on who might the new crime boss be and whether it is related to the attack by the Serpent Society.
Oracle distracted my train of thoughts, She said "Nightwing, there is some news regarding Ulysses Klaue".
"Good job, Oracle. So what is it?" I replied.
"He is still in hiding but his crew members have been discussing that their boss will be returning with a huge shipment within the last few days. They say they will be rich beyond their wildest dreams!".
"Hmm... Good! Once Ulysses Klaue returns to his ship inform me immediately! Once you detect his location, keep track of him".
"Very well" Oracle replied.
After a few minutes, I suddenly remembered something...
"Oracle" I called out.
"Yes, Nightwing?" Oracle answered.
"Please keep tabs in New Mexico" I said.
"New Mexico?" Oracle replied with a confused voice.
"Yes, New Mexico. If there is anything weird regarding an unmovable hammer or something falling from the sky, tell me" I answered.
"Do you have a premonition or something?" Oracle asked.
Chuckling to myself, I said "Something like that. Oh ya! Remember to keep tabs with a person called Jane Foster. If she meets someone call Thor, tell me okay".
"Err... Sure" Oracle replied

Tuesday Morning
Tony Stark's Mansion
Tony is in front of a hologram image of the 1974 Stark Expo deep in thought and trying to figure out the tips given by Nightwing when suddenly a voice calls out from behind him.
"So after a busy night of partying, you spend your time in the dark watching your father's work" Fury said with sarcasm.
Tony jumped in his seat in shock before grumbling "Damn... You nearly gave me a heart attack!". As Tony continued staring at the hologram he continued "It is just a lapse of judgement and I thought told you I don't wanna join your super-secret boy band. So what do you want to know?".
Fury stared at Tony for a long moment before saying "How is that working out for you being a solo singer? Crash and Burn like everyone else"
Looking at Fury, Tony answered "It's… It's… It's… I am sorry. I don't wanna get off on the wrong foot but do I look at the patch or the eye? Honestly I am a bit hung over... I am having slight trouble concentrating".
"That is not important" Fury snapped but as he noticed an injection gun on the table, he said "So you are taking drugs too... Didn't expect you to have a rock bottom!".
"What? No I am not taking drugs. It is..." Tony answered.
As Fury picked up the injection gun, Fury interrupted Tony by saying "I see. I stand corrected. Looks like you are using lithium dioxide to help control your problem".
"Why does everybody know about my problem!" Tony grumbled to himself before noticing a woman standing in the corner of the room.
"What are you doing here?" Tony said raising his voice a little in frustration and confusion.
Fury gestured towards her saying "Tony, I want you to meet Agent Romanoff!".
