Peter began swinging to the warehouse surprised at how quickly he was getting used to this. While the people looked up in astonishment and he quickly made it to the location of the warehouse as he perched himself on top of a higher building to look down. He found his target; Carradine running to the entrance and Peter then leaped and stuck to the outside wall of the building as some other masked guards came to greet him in the entrance.
"Carradine... What the hell... We just got a message from Spike saying that you killed some guy and now some costumed lunatic is on a rampage... Left Spike on a rooftop and now he is on his way here..." yelled one of them agitated as Carradine waved it off as he got his ski mask out.
"Don't worry about it... Just some crazy nut... Overreacting because some mook didn't know when not to stick his nose where it didn't belong..." Carradine replied nonchalantly as this got Peter mad at how dismissive he was about the whole thing and his victim. Peter then aimed his wrist at Carradine's back and shot out to Carradine's back and dragged him up to the rooftop screaming.
Peter glared harshly at the man as he took him by the shoulders; "Please... Let me go... Give me a chance..." Carradine pleaded terrified as Peter was thunderous behind his mask.
"What about the man you killed... You didn't give him a chance... He was probably just another face in the list of people you killed... Wasn't it..." Peter retorted right in his face and thought that he could probably easily throw him off and have him land on the ground dead. Or try snapping his neck. So many ways he could kill him...
But Ben wouldn't approve...
Peter then calmed down and sighed as he then shot web at Carradine and then went down as the men there had gotten guns and were aiming at him. "Don't move freak!" yelled one of them as Peter then looked at them and remembered Jameson's words.
"Who are you calling freak? At least I put thought into my suit while you all probably went to the same store for your masks and clothes? Not even a theme for your criminal gang... Why not go for something like they did in Warriors?" Peter then mocked as they looked at him incredulously.
"Looks like we got a funny man..." snarled one of them as Peter felt his extra sense go off and jumped as they then began firing but winced as they saw them fire at Carradine. He would have preferred to send him to the police after he had calmed down...
Peter then got down landing on the back of a guy with his arm around his neck with him yelling and Peter managed to take him down. "Worst piggyback ride ever... 0 out of 10... Would not recommend!" Peter taunted the guy as he then ran through the door before the men could fire at him again.
Peter then saw the tables and the completed sample of drugs being loaded up and soon guards began screaming about an intruder. They then began firing and Peter began dodging to his sense. "Let's try this..." Peter said shooting out a web out and managed to yank a gun out of one of their hands. Peter then yelled as he felt as one of them managed to get close enough to attack him with a lead pipe.
Peter groaned as he felt his arms being held by some of them ne and a large muscular man came up to Peter and then punched him hard in the stomach and he definitely felt that as he gasped. "I will will snap your neck and then rip your head off your tiny body... Then I will rip the mask off your skull..." said the bigger man as Peter then remembered when he was in this predicament and then gathered up his strength.
He ripped his arms from the gasp of the men and then hit a hard sucker punch onto the big man's face and the man yelled in pain as he broke his nose. Peter grinned and taunted him saying "Not so fun when your victim can fight back; is it?" Peter taunted as he began dodging the firing guns again. The big man was furious and charged at Peter and Peter then managed to catch him and lift him up and throw him right at some men knocking them over.
Peter was in awe that he was that strong and the men were bewildered but soon they kept firing and they hit some barrels and they seemed ready to explode. Peter then got to a table of drugs with the chemicals on there and wondered how exactly to dispose of these chemicals used to make drugs; he paid attention to his science classes and they never taught him how to do this... Peter felt his... 'Spider-Sense' he decided and then jumped out of the way as the table was lit up in fire.
Soon along with the exploding barrels and chemical fires on the tables; police sirens came and the men started to panic and some decided to try shooting at Peter again as he dodged they ended up hitting containers with the completed product in it. Peter felt his Spider-Sense going hard as the men started escape but the police cars came up.
Peter then decided to make his escape by jumping out of a window as the place went up in flames and began web singling away.
Peter went to the alleyway on his web and found the alleyway which was a crime scene; luckily he decided to hide his backpack by webbing it up on the walls. He got it and changed on the roof top before sneaking down at another alleyway once he jumped down.
He got back to the apartment and found May sitting down with police officers there with her head in her hands while in tears. Peter went up as they explained the situation to them. Peter and May let themselves have the tears go out as the officers looked with sympathy and one of them got a call on a radio. "If it makes you feel any better... The killer has been identified and it seemed that he was caught in the crossfire of an incident... He is dead now..." they said as they gave them their peace leaving.
"Why doesn't it feel better with him dead..." Peter asked as May sighed.
"It can only help us find peace in time Peter... Vengeance doesn't make us feel better but at least he can't hurt anyone else..." May told him as they just embraced.
Peter had his head down as people were whispering looking at him and he even got pity looks from Flash and his cronies; "Hey man... If you ever need to talk..." Eddie told Peter as he had been awkwardly walking with him to school and then came up Mary Jane who put a hand on his shoulder. Peter sighed but then went through the door as there was Jameson looking soft at him. Peter thought that he didn't have to go through this alone.
"My door is always open Parker..." Jameson told him in an uncharacteristic soft tone as Peter gave a small smile.
Fisk was in his office in his own headquarters; Fisk Tower as there was his assistant a man in a suit with glasses James Wesley. Fisk was silently fuming in his desk as Wesley gave him the details "...We should be able to get most of the men off on technicalities or on parole with bail..." Wesley told him as Fisk looked closer at him.
"The product Wesley. How much is salvageable." Fisk demanded as Wesley looked uneasy but a hard glare forced Wesley to look at his notes.
"...None sir... The warehouse was the only place where it was being made... The chemicals were rare and all samples and ingredients were ruined in the fire... It can't be traced back to you thankfully as the place was owned by a shell company and trying to track down the owner would be a dead end..." Wesley replied as Fisk angrily banged his fist on the desk.
"This drug was to make 6 million dollars over time with me having a monopoly of this addictive product but now it's ruined! Osborn is going to be on my tail for this public display and someone messing with any part of my empire can't be tolerated! Who is this Spider-Man!" Fisk demanded as Wesley then coughed.
"Just some street performer by all accounts..." Wesley said as Fisk tried unsuccessfully to calm himself.
"I want him dead... With this stunt; he has made an enemy of me and enemies don't live long after becoming one!" Fisk then ordered as Wesley then nodded and left. "This is my city and his death will show as an example of those that try to mess with the order that I created..." Fisk said to himself.
Techtronics East and Octavius practically shoved a Daily Globe newspaper in the hand of Connor who looked at it. The headline article talking of street performer Spider-Man causing a secret drug manufacturing plant to literally go up in flames. Criticisms of police officers on the scene as well as some city officials were listed in the article.
"This is one of our intruders... The spider must have bit him... He should be found and studied..." Octavius told him and Connors raised an eyebrow.
"How do you plan on accomplishing that Otto?" Connors asked as Octavius was silent as he walked away.
A week had gone by since Ben's death and Peter got to school and the students were talking about the videos taken of Spider-Man slinging by. There were a couple of nerds talking about the physics of what he was doing and Peter had Eddie show him on his phone a video of Spider-Man having catching a bodega robber and then the police officers came and told him to get down on the ground. Peter looked unimpressed as he tossed them the robber and said that he was doing a citizen's arrest before leaping up and slinging away.
"People are abuzz about this guy... Thought he was some weird performer but now people are acting like he is some sort of superhero..." Eddie told him in disbelief as Peter decided to just shrug his shoulders. "But this gives me an idea... My first big story I can break once I find it..." Eddie said with a grin as Peter raised an eyebrow.
"Another interview... Since your last one got so many views..." Peter said and he wasn't lying as Eddie's videos showing what had happened with the short interview and then Spider-Man slinging off to Carradine's getaway car and then taking the driver up the rooftop. plus his first web sling became easily the most popular thing posted on Eddie's news blog.
"Not quite... I am going to find the guy underneath the mask... This will be my big break story!" Eddie said confidently as Peer grimaced but faked a smile.
"Good luck with that..." Peter said as they saw Mary Jane's limo come by and then to their shock was Mayor Norman Osborn coming out with Mary Jane.
"This is my guide Peter Parker... Peter... This is my... My dad... Norman Osborn..." Mary Jane greeted Peter who was shocked to see the mayor looking down at him with a big of a smile.
"Mayor Osborn sir..." Peter said as Norman nodded.
"Mr Parker... Mary Jane said that you are something of a science whiz... I consider myself one as well... Maybe your presence will go to her and help improve her grades." Norman told Peter as Mary Jane looked uncomfortable. Norman offered a hand to Peter who took it. "Please keep Mary Jane out of trouble here. I finally relented in taking her off homeschool and have her go to an actual school. I hope I don't regret it." Norman said with a side eye to Mary Jane before going back to the limo.
"So that was the Mayor..." Peter said as Mary Jane just nodded as they went to the entrance of the school.
Spider-Man has now gone from street performer to crimefighter with him not knowing that he has Fisk and Octavius after him. Taking a small break from this story to gather my ideas and see about other stories I have in mind or want to update.
