SPIDER-MAN

It was a hot and humid June New York night, hotter than it should have been in early June. Made even hotter for Jack Murdock by his foul mood.
“Come on Bob get this truck started so we can get out of here.” Jack was running almost an hour behind and his boss would not be pleased.
“I am going as fast as I can Jack. You think you can go any faster you are welcome to get down here and try.” Bob snapped back. He was looking under the truck’s hood trying to find the source of the problem.
“If we had not taken on of your shortcuts we could have just called the boss to get another tuck out here.”
“Try it now.” Bob ordered. Turning the key the truck started right up. Bob got into the passenger’s seat.
“What was wrong with it?” Jack asked.
“That last bump shook some of the spark plugs loose. This truck is a piece of junk.”
“Let’s hope the boss let’s us go on that.” Jack drove the truck for about a half an hour. He stopped in front of a gate at a warehouse located in the New Jersey Harbor. Jack was let through the gate and parked it inside the warehouse. He noticed his boss walking toward the truck with his bodyguards on each side. His boss did not look pleased at all. Jack and Bob got out of the truck and walked over to meet them.
“What took you so long to get here?” Their boss demanded.
“Well Mr. Osborn we were caught in traffic.” Bob tried to explain.
“That is a lie Bob. Some of my people went looking for you and did not see you on any of the main roads. Now I will ask again, where were you?” Jack stepped up and spoke.
“The truth is Mr. Osborn that the traffic was so bad Bob decided to take a shortcut. We hit a large pothole on the road and the truck stalled out.”
“Is this true Bob?”
“Yes sir it is. But if Jack would have..” Norman Osborn held up his hand, letting the man know to shut up.
“I have these routes planned out for a reason.” Osborn started walking with both men close behind. “What do you think would have happened if a police car pulled up and stared snooping around on that truck and found the illegal waste inside those barrels. They would have taken you in. Now I can trust Jack here not to talk he and I are old friends. But you Bob, you would have talked. And I can not have that.” Osborn stopped talking.
“I would not have said anything boss. Honest.” Bob pleaded. One of Norman’s bodyguards gave him one of his guns.
“I think you are lying Bob.” Norman fired his gun and shot Bob in the chest three times. Norman turned to his bodyguard. “Clean this mess up.” He turned to Jack. “Go and unload the last truck. You will find your son is hard at work.” Jack started to walk away. “And Jack, next time a new driver wants to take a short cut do not let him. Or it may be you my men clean up.”
“Yes sir.” Jack walked off to find his son. He was not to worried about the threat that he had just gotten. He and Norman were old friends. Still Norman had to put on a show in front of the other guys, after all he could not have people thinking that The Kingpin had gone soft.

[spideyrules99]

Jack walked over and saw his son Matt loading the barrels from the truck he just drove in and putting them onto a loading platform. The platform would rise up taking the barrels to a large boat waiting to dump them out in the open sea.
“What took you so long old man?” Matt joked as his father walked up to him.
“There was a problem with Bob.” Jack said to his son helping him with one of the barrels.
“Yes I heard the shot. Guess you will have to find another driver.” Both men started to finish loading the barrels onto the platform. They stopped as they saw Mr. Osborn coming their way.
“Jack I just want you to know I do not blame you for the late shipment. I gave Bob orders that he did not follow.”
“Thank you sir.”
“I am going to have a late dinner, do you and Matt want to come with me? We can talk about you moving up with in the organization.”
“Me sir?”
“Yes why not. You have been with me for a very long time and I think you need to have a reward for that. Come find me when you are done and the three of us will go to dinner and talk.”
“Yes Sir. We will.” Norman walked away.
“Well how about that. We had better get moving, We must not keep Mr. Osborn waiting.” Jack said as he grabbed another barrel. After about thirty minutes they were finished loading everything up.
“I will go tell Mr. Osborn that we are done.” Said Matt as he pushed a button sending the platform up to the ship.
“I will be right there I have to tie my shoe.” Jack said as he bent down to tie his shoe. Matt heard a noise and looked back. One of the barrels had fallen off the loading platform. Matt did not even think, he ran as fast as he could and knocked his father out of the way. The barrel crashed into Matt’s back sending him to the ground. Jack stood up and looked back, he saw his son laying there on his stomach and a line of the waste coming from the barrel on down onto Matt’s face.
“MATT!!” He yelled as he ran over. He bent down by his son and rolled him over. He saw that the waste was eating away at his son’s eyes. “SOMEONE GET SOME HELP!!” He yelled back. The fumes form the barrel were to much for Jack to breathe in, the fumes over took him and he fell to the ground.

[spideyrules99]

Jack awoke and found that he was in a small hospitable bed. He must be in one of Norman’s clinics. He had them all over the city just in case something went wrong in one of his operations. And tonight something had gone very wrong. He looked around the room and saw that Norman was standing there.
“Jack you are awake?”
“How long have I been out?” He asked.
“About three hours.”
“And my son?”
“He is being looked at by doctors right now. I have some of the best in the world on staff I am sure your son will be fine.”
“What was in those barrels Norman?”
“Waste products you know that.”
“What kind? I saw the stuff eating at his eyes. Was it radioactive? Was it waste from one of you plants that use radioactive material?”
“Yes Jack it was. But it was watered down waste, mixed with other things. It is not harmful.”
“You tell that to my son.” Jack snapped. There was a knock at the door, and a doctor came in the room.
“How is Matt?” Norman asked.
“I will be honest Mr. Mudock, it is not good. Your son has extensive damage to his eyes and the skin around his eyes.”
“His eyes?” Jack was in a small daze as he listened to the doctor.
“I am afraid that your son will never see again. There was just too much damage to his eyes. Now we can perform a surgery to reduce the amount of scaring on his face and eyes. Now he will have scars but he will not be as disfigured as he is now.”
“Perform the surgery. And do what you can.” Norman told the doctor.
“When can I see him?” Jack asked.
“We are doing a few tests, give us about 30 minutes.” The doctor left the room.
“Jack I will be back in awhile I have to take car of some things at the dock.” Norman left the room. Jack sat back in the bed. He could not help but feel this was his fault. His son was only sixteen years old he had no right in this job. But Matt had begged him to let him work with him. Jack should have put his foot down. But he saw no problem with letting him work for Osborn. After all Jack and Norman were old friends. They have known each other since high school, and when Jack and out of work third rate prize fighter found out he was going to be a father than Norman was the first with a cigar and a job. But Jack did not know Norman was transporting Radioactive waste through the city. Than again what the hell else could it have been? Still Norman should have said something he would have never let Matt in on this job. Norman did not even care, he just left for the docks to clean up his mess. The doctor walked back into the room.
“We are done with our tests early. You may see your son now.” Jack walked into his son’s room. He started crying at the sight of his son laying in the hospitable bed, his face bandaged up. Matt walked over and took his sons hand.
“Don’t worry son I will do something to make this right. I will do something. I swear it.”

[spideyrules99]

“Peter, Peter dear it is time to wake up!” May Parker yelled up the stairs. Ben Parker sat reading the kitchen table reading the morning paper.
“Let him sleep May. We still have an hour before we have to leave.” Ben said to his wife.
“He would have been up by now if you did not let him stay up late watching those monster movies.” May told her husband as she poured him a glass of coffee. There was a knock at the back kitchen door and Joe Robertson walked in, just like he did every morning before he went into work at The Daily Bugle.
“Good morning friends.” He said as he got a glass out of the cupboard. He sat at the table and may poured him a cup of coffee as well.
“Good morning Joe.” She said cheerfully. “Big day at the bugle today?”
“Not for me, I am off today. I am letting Robbie play hooky from school today and am taking him to Central Park. You and Peter should come May.” He said.
“No such luck. School first.”
“Oh well it was worth a shot.” Joe took a drink from his coffee. May stood up from the table and walked back to the kitchen stairs.
“Peter dear it is time to get up.”
“In a minute Aunt May.” Peter yelled back.
“That boy is harder and harder to get up in the morning.” May said.
“Well there goes my day off, this story is to big to miss, 10 year old boy does not want to get out of bed.” Joe joked.
“Shocking.” Added Ben. “You better not print that no one will not believe it.” May gave both men a playful slap. The phone rang, and Ben got up to answer it.
“Hello.” He paused as he listened as the man on the other end talked to him. “Ok I will be right there.” Ben hung up the phone. “May you will have to take Peter to school today I have to go.”
“What’s up?” Asked Joe.
“Someone called in a body. I have to go check it out.”
“I’ll go as well.” Joe said. That is one good thing about having a New York City Crime Scene Investigator as a friend, he got a lot of stories before anyone else.
“I thought this was your day off.” May said to Joe as he and Ben walked out the door.
“Crime does not take a day off.” Joe replied in his best Joe Friday voice.
“I can’t believe you just said that.” May said as the two men walked out the door. Peter walked down the stairs.
“Where is Uncle Ben?” the boy asked.
“Well dear he had to leave early so he could not take you to school today.” May answered. She saw the boy was disappointed, he loved his morning drives with Uncle Ben listening to his police stories. May decided to cheer him up. “How would you like to skip school today and spend the day with Robbie and Joe at the park?” The boys face lit up.
“Yes of course I do.” The boy hugged Aunt May and ran up stairs to put on some play cloths. May was happy to see the smile on Peter’s face. The boy is so smart one day off of school to make Peter happy would not be so bad.

[spideyrules99]

Joe and Ben watched as the men from the City Morgue loaded up the body into the van.
“So what happened?” Asked Joe.
“Well the man was shot in the chest three times. Judging from the state of the body, it happened last night. He was shot and dumped here.” Ben answered. “I will know more later.”
“Thanks Ben. I will go call this in and head to the park.” Joe walked away to call The Bugle on this body. It was not a huge story, stuff like this happened all the time in New York.


TWO MONTHS LATER

Jack Murdock opened the door to his small storage shed. He had rented this under an assumed name so he could store things here with out his boss knowing about it. And what was he storing? Papers and documents that told of shipping dates fake cargo. As well he had a few tubes of the waste products that Osborn was dumping off. There were also other documents that told of other illegal things that Osborn had going on. He promised his son Matt two months ago that he would do something about what had happened, and though doing this will never give Matt his sight back, it will bring down the man that did this to his son, Norman Osborn. It took Jack a lot of time and effort to get all of these things. And more than once he was almost caught. Jack only shared his plans with his son. Though he was blind he seem to see and hear things that others could not. He had been a big help in getting these things. Now it was time to get this were it was needed. The police could not be trusted as Norman had many people on the police force in his pay role. He needed to get this to one man he knew he could trust. This cities greatest crime reporter Joe Robertson of The Daily Bugle. He had a reputation for breaking hard hitting stories. He would know what to do with this information. All Murdock had to do was place the call.

[spideyrules99]

Joe Robertson sat at his desk looking over a few police files. He was working on a story involving the rising crimes in the city. The phone at his desk rang.
“Robertson here.” He stated as he picked up the phone.
“Listen carefully I do not have much time. I have information here on a man that is doing illegal dumping and other crimes. Even murder.”
“When do you want to meet?” Joe asked. He knew this was a good story if it panned out.
“Six p.m. A bar on the corner of 25th and Main. Sit in the corner booth and wait for me. I will be there with all the information you need to bring the man down.”
“Who is this man?”
“I do not want to say over the phone. Just meet me.” The man on the other line hung up the phone. Joe would be there at six. He had to see what all of this was about.

Jack hung up the phone, he had made the call. Joe would meet him and that will be end of Osborne. Jack into the apartment that he rented after his son Matt’s accident. He wanted one closer to the doctors that Matt saw for his face. The chemicals had done a great deal of damage to Matt’s face. His eyes had been eaten away and there was a great deal of scaring on the upper half of his face. But despite all of that Matt had made a great deal of progress in his recovery. In fact his son Matt was home and sitting in a chair, and Jack was shocked to see Norman standing next to him.
“Well Jack I am glad to see you are back.” Norman said dryly.
“Norman what are you doing here?” Jack asked. Jack was nervous to see his boss standing there. He had only been to the small apartment one time.
“Well after Matt here told me about your call to that reporter than I felt it was time to talk to you.”
“What reporter?” Jack asked trying to cover his tracks.
“Don’t play dumb dad. I told him about what you are trying to do.”
“That is right I even know about your storage shed. Well it will not help. It is being cleared out even as we speak.” Norman said. “I knew about your plan for the past month. I just wanted to see if it was you or if your son was in on it as well. He came to me when you told him about what you were doing.”
“Why son. After what happened to you why would you help Osborne?” Jack pleaded.
“That waste hitting my face was the best thing that ever happened. I may be blind in the sense that I can not use my eyes but I have gained much more. I can hear people blocks away. I can smell things for miles.”
“And with these new powers I promised your son a big step up in my crime family. All he has to do is one thing to prove that he is truly loyal to me.” Norman reached into his coat and produced a knife and handed it to Matt. “Go ahead Matt kill your father.”
“No Matt don’t. I did this for you. Please don’t.” Jack begged his son.
“Look at you begging for your life. You make me sick. Good bye father.” Matt raised the knife and drove it into the throat of a pleading Jack. Matt twisted the knife bringing an end to jack’s life. Matt turned to Norman.
“What about this reporter?” He asked.
“I see no need to kill him. He knows nothing about me. Killing the best known reporter in the city will bring on to much heat.” Norman walked to the door. “Come on. My men will clean this mess up. We have to plan your future and figure out how your powers will best aid us as we take over the city.” The two men walked out the door leaving the body of Jack lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood. Now The Kingpin can focus on taking over all the mobs in the city. And with Matt and these powers he was sure he could handle that task.

[spideyrules99]

SIX YEARS LATER

May, Ben, and Joe sat at the kitchen table drinking their morning coffee like they had done for many years. Joe and Ben were engaged in a debate this morning over the existence of a crime boss named The Kingpin.
“You really believe that this Kingpin is real?” Ben asked Joe.
“You saw the same figures that I did Ben. Gang wars are down but organized crime is up in the city. I think this Kingpin took over the gangs and is now using them to beef up the crime.”
“I think that it is just a rumor. And no offense just a media creation.”
“What about the men in jail who are afraid to talk for fear of this man?”
“Fear is nothing new in crime circles.” Ben answered.
“But for a man to do life over talking about this man. I don’t buy it.”
“O.k you two knock it off for awhile Peter will be down here in a minute and I don’t want him to hear you two arguing over this nonsense.” May butted in. For the most part she did not bug the two men when they debated crime and law in the city. It was a way for Ben who had been forced into early retirement thanks to budget cuts, to handle it much easier than he otherwise would have.
Peter Parker walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
“Good morning dear.” She greeted him as she gave him a kiss on the check.
“Hello Pete, you ready for the big day today?” Ben asked Peter as he sat down and poured himself a glass of juice.
“I sure am Uncle Ben.” Peter said. He turned to Joe. “Thank you Mr. Robertson for getting me this job at the Bugle.” He said.
“It is no problem. Mr. Jameson liked the idea of having a younger science reported on staff. He thinks it can bring a young edge into the field and maybe bring in a few new readers.” Joe finished his coffee and turned to Peter. “Well young man we had better get going. Don’t want to be late on your first day.” He said. As he opened the back door he turned to May and Ben. “Don’t forget the dinner with Wilson tomorrow night. He has a big surprise for you.” Peter grabbed his camera off the table said good bye to his and uncle and left with Joe. He already knew what his first assignment. Today he was going to a science demo on a new radioactive power source. He was very excited. He had read many papers on this subject. Today was gong to be a great day.

[spideyrules99]

Osborne sat in his dinning with his son when Matt Murdock walked into the room.
“Matt good to see you have some coffee.” He pointed to a chair for Matt to sit down. Norman’s maid poured a cup for him than left the dinning room.
“So Matt do you think you can handle Mr. Lambert?” He asked. Matt took a drink of the coffee that Norman’s maid poured for him.
“I am pretty sure I can. Thanks to you scientists and this little ring.” Matt pointed to a ring on his right hand.
“What does that do?” Asked Harry. Harry is the son of Norman. He was not the criminal mastermind his father was, but Norman insisted that he learn the ins and outs of his operation.
“This ring has a chemical in it that will enter Lambert’s body and strike his heart. It will make it look like he had a heart attack.”
“What if it does not work?” Harry asked.
“That is why Matt here is going in. He will know if the chemical takes effect or not.”
“It’s just a shame I can not use that colorful new costume you had made for me.” Matt joked. The costume he spoke of was a blood red suit with the letter D in the center of the suit with another D overlapping that. Norman wanted Matt to become the hit man called Daredevil. Matt did not see the need for that, he could do his job without the costume he had after used his powers to kill many men, but Norman was the boss, so Matt did what he was told. Matt stood up.
“Well Norman I have to be at Riker’s Island in just a few hours. I will call you when the job is done.” Matt walked out of the room. Norman smiled to himself. He was not sure if Lambert was going to talk or not but he had to be sure. Lambert knew too much about Norman’s dealings. And besides what good was it having a blind lawyer with superpowers if you never used him.

[spideyrules99]

Matt Murdock made his way trough the security check points. They took extra care with him because he was “Blind.” That is why Norman had sent him to law school after the accident that gave him the powers he now has. Being a lawyer he could help get his men out of jail and with these powers and people thinking he was blind he could hear things that other lawyers would not have.
“O.K. Mr. Murdock you know the drill wait here in the conference room until we bring you Mr. Lambert.” One of the guards told him.
“Yes sir.” Matt said. He opened his briefcase and got out a few papers. He had to make it look like he was getting ready for Mr. Lambert. After a few minutes a guard walked in with Mr. Lambert in front of him. Lambert took his seat and the guard walked out of the room.
“Thank you for coming Mr. Murdock.” Lambert said as he shook hands with Matt. Matt smiled as the needle on the ring stuck Lambert’s finger.
“Ow.” Lambert said as he drew his hand back.
“Sorry about that. A new ring. Must have a snag on it.” Matt sat down at his chair.
“Now I have seen the charges and they are shaky at best.”
“I don’t know, The D.A. says they have a good case. They want me to roll on Mr. Osborne.”
“And of course you told them no.” Matt said.
“I told them I would talk to you and see what you said.” Matt listened and heard Lambert’s heart beating out of control. That chemical had taken effect pretty fast. In fact Lambert only had seconds to live before his heart exploded in his chest.
“Well Mr. Osborne will never let you talk. In fact you won’t have the chance.” Matt said. He saw Lambert sweating badly and reaching for his chest. He bent down.
“Osborne said you are fired Mr. Lambert.” Matt stood up and yelled for the guards. “I need help in here!” The guards rushed in and tried to revive the man. Matt stood back and smiled. No one messed with The Kingpin he thought to himself.

[spideyrules99]

Peter walked up the stairs of the Empire State University Science Center. He had his camera and press pass ready to go. He walked into the room that the event was taking place. If this experiment was successful than it would be a big step in solving the nations power problems. Peter took his place along other people waiting for the demo to start. Two men stepped forward.
“Good morning Ladies and gentlemen.” The man opened. “Today you will witness a life changing event.” Peter listened as the man gave his opening speech. Peter looked around the lab. Inside one room were people putting up small electronic panels. That is the main part of what was going to happen today. “And inside the room to my right my assistants are putting in the electronic power panels.
“Those panels that you see in there have been modified to receive the energy from a low lever nuclear beam. This will hopefully increase the power out put by a factor of 100.” The crowd whispered and talked among themselves for a few minutes. “Now we will all have to go into this next room due to the small amount of radioactive byproduct that will be put out. But with this clear screen we can see everything that happens.” The man led the crowd of people into the next room. All of the workers had also left the room, due to the harmful waste left by the beam no one was allowed in the room when it went off. But no one seemed to notice a small spider in the corner of the room.

[spideyrules99]

Osborne sat in his office waiting for Matt to come out with his new costume on. He wanted Matt to wear it when he was in the hidden upper levels of Norman’s building. Norman had made the Daredevil his head of security and wanted his men to see that. No one but Norman knew Matt and Daredevil were the same man. Matt can out in his costume.
“It looks good on you Matt.” Osborne said.
“I still do not know why I have to wear the thing.” Matt said felling the two small horns on the top of his mask.
“I told you. I want Matt to be my lawyer and Daredevil to be my main enforcer. The costume adds that touch of fear I like to have my victims to have before dying.”
“I guess I can get used to it.” Matt replied.
“Good. Now there are a few things that I want to go over with you and..” Norman stopped talking as Matt stood up.
“What is it Matt what is the matter?” Norman knew that with Matt’s powers he may have heard something going on that he never would have.
“Get into the safe room. Someone has broken into your upper rooms.” Matt ordered. Norman has what he called a safe room very well hidden inside the wall. How could anyone have gotten into his upper rooms. No one even knew they were here. The upper rooms were two floors above what most people thought was his top floor office. It was here that he did most of his illegal dealings.
“Who is it?” Norman asked before Matt closed the room off.
“I do not know. Whoever it is he is well armed and every shot he fires hits with deadly force and..” Matt stopped taking and slammed the room shut. Who ever it was he was now on his way up to the office. Matt had sensed his every move from the moment he got onto the upper levels of this place and began his attack. He was able to take out all fifteen of Norman’s guards before they knew what hit them. Every shot killing a man, or in on case three men at once. This man knew what he was doing.
“Good.” Thought Matt to himself. “I know what I am doing as well. And this man will regret coming up here.”

[spideyrules99]

Peter stood in front of the crowd to get a better view of what was going on. He had taken a lot of notes, he would be busy tonight trying to turn it into a story. After the nuclear beam was shut off it took about 20 minutes to decontaminate the room. After that was done two worked went in and got the electronic panels and put them into place.
“Now ladies and Gentlemen we will see if it has worked.” The lead scientists said.
“If you look up at the screen you will be able to see the percentage increase in the power output.” Peter waqs about to take more notes when he felt a sharp pain on his arm.
“OWW!” He blurted out. He looked down and saw a small Spider walking off. When he looked up everyone was looking at him. “Sorry.” Peter said embarrassed. He went back to taking his notes. His arm still tingled from the spider bite but Peter was sure that it would go away soon.

Daredevil stood in Osbone’s office facing the man that had come to kill his boss. The man wore an all black costume with white trim, and on the forehead of his mask was a bullseye.
“Nice costume red. May I ask who you are before I kill you?”
“The name is Daredevil. And who are you?”
“My name is Bullseye. On account of the fact I never miss.” Bullseye reached behind his back and pulled a knife from a holder there and threw it at Daredevil. Daredevil sensed the movements and knew the attack was coming. He jumped to the side and the knife stuck in the wall where Daredevil was standing.
“I, I, I, missed?” Bullseye asked in shock.
“Yes but I won’t.” Daredevil said as he jumped in the air and landed a kick on the face of Bullseye. Bullseye was to shocked from missing his target for the first time in his life did not have time to move as the kick sent him to the ground.
“I do not know how I missed you but I will not this time.” Bullseye pulled a small hand gun form its holster on his leg and fired three shots at Daredevil. Daredevil felt the air ripple around the bullets the second they were shot and was able to tell where they would hit. He ducked down and the bullets went over his head with no danger to the blind man.
“NOOO! IT is not possible!” Bullseye yelled as he stood up and rushed Daredevil in desperation. Daredevil punched him the face as Bullseye ran at him. Daredevil grabbed Bullseye by the back of his head and slammed him face first in Osborne’s desk three times. Bullseye fell back to the ground.
“Tell me how I missed.” He demanded.
“You will go to your grave never knowing that.” Daredevil placed his right hand on Bullseye’s neck so with a little bit of pressure he would break his neck.
“Wait Daredevil do not do that just yet.” The voice was of Norman who had come out of his safe room.
“Sir you should not be out here. This man is dangerous.”
“You should listen to your lackey Osborne.” Bullseye said as he reached into a hidden part of his costume and threw a dagger at Osborne. Before Osborne even had time to react Daredevil reached up and grabbed the knife just inches away from Osborne’s face. Osborne reached and took it from Daredevil’s hand.
“As you can see Bullseye you can not hurt me or my bodyguard.” Osborne walked back to his desk and started putting papers that were knocked off in the fight. He had his back to Bullseye his way of showing him he was not afraid of the man or of what he could do. “Now I have heard of you and what you can do. So I think I can use you in my organization.”
“And why should I work for you?” Bullseye asked.
“Because I am the Kingpin and if you do not I will kill you.”

[spideyrules99]

Bullseye sat in a chair across from Osborne’s desk, Daredevil standing right next to Osborne in case Bullseye tried anything thing.
“Now Bullseye this is a simple little deal here. You tell me who hired you to kill me, than you will go kill him at double your fee.”
“That sounds good to me.”
“Good and once you are done you will return here and await future jobs.”
“I don’t think so pal. I am a freelancer.”
“No you were a freelancer. That ended the second you walked into my building.” Osborne leaned up on his desk. “If you decide to double cross me you will not live long enough to regret it.”
“Now who hired you?” Daredevil demanded.
“A man named Justin Hammer.”
“Well I was beginning to wonder when he was going to make his move.” Osborne said.
“You have had dealings with him before?” Daredevil asked.
“Yes. He is trying to take over some of my interests. I of course told him it was a bad idea. I did not think he wanted in bad enough for him to hire you. I mean you are top dollar.”
“What now?” Daredevil asked.
“Now our new friend here goes to kill him.”
“Why him? I can take care of him just as easy.”
“I want to test him.” Norman looked at Bullseye. “Now go and return here when you are done.” Bullseye stood up to leave. “And do not fail me.” After Bullseye left the room Daredevil turned to Osborne.
“Why do we even need him?”
“Because I would like to have another man on my payroll. Besides he came here to kill me and now I have turned the tables on him. It is all about control Matt. Besides you can always kill him later if he turns on us.” Norman smiled. Soon Hammer would be out of the way. It is not like Hammer was a huge threat to him, but he was someone that needed to be taught a lesson. No other crime boss in the city would try and kill Hammer like this. Hammer was to well known as a friend to the city, and killing him would bring up to much heat. After others saw that The Kingpin was not scared to kill such a man than they would all fear him. And fear was the best form of control The Kingpin knew.

[spideyrules99]

Peter stepped off the elevator and into the Daily Bugle’s main floor. Here is where it all happens, decisions are made about stories and what goes on the front page. Reporters put the finishing touches on their stories, and choose pictures for their stories. Peter was still amazed by it all. Or at least he would be if he were not feeling so dizzy. He had not been feeling well since that spider bit him. And Peter could not understand that because the spider was not poisonous. He walked over to Joe’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Joe said without looking up from his desk.
“Hello Mr. Robertson I have the notes for the power source story.” Peter said weakly.
“Good have a seat here and work on the story.” Joe looked up and saw Peter.
“Pete you don’t look so good.”
“I am glad you noticed I would hate to feel this bad and no one notice.” Peter joked.
“Here have a seat and I will get you some water or something.” Peter began to walk to the chair but he never made. He passed out and hit the floor. “Peter! Peter!” Joe ran to Peter. “Hey someone call a doctor!” He yelled out the door. “Come on Pete wake up.” Joe hoped that help would get here soon.

[spideyrules99]

Peter awoke in a hospital bed and looked around. He saw his Aunt May and Uncle Ben standing there with Joe.
“Oh Peter that heavens you are ok.” May said as she went to him and hugged him.
“Easy May you don’t want to crush the boy.” Ben said jokingly.
“I’m fine Aunt May.” Peter said a bit embarrassed by the attention. He looked over at Joe. “I am sorry for passing out like that. And on my first day. I bet Mr. Jameson won’t have me back.”
“No it’s ok Peter. Every good reporter has to have a first day horror story. On my first day I had to leave a crime scene because I lost my lunch.” Joe said trying to cheer the boy up. It seemed to work as Peter had a smile on his face until the doctor walked in the room.
“So doc what is wrong with Peter?” asked Ben.
“Well all the tests came back and showed nothing. It would seem the boy just had a fainting spell. Or just a mild reaction to that spider bite on his arm”
“Oh man are you kidding?” Peter groaned.
“Relax Pete at least it is nothing major.” Joe said. “Now we had better get you home you have a story to write.” Peter knew that Joe was trying to make him feel better, but his arm was still tingling. And he felt just a bit different. He did not want to say anything to the doctor because they all said he was fine. He started feeling bad after that spider bit him. Peter could not help but wonder what that spider did to him.

ok gang for those still reading this story I am posting again. I moved over seesaes for a bit. Am back with a new comp. I hop people still want to read andf enjoy the story.

________________________________________________

Bullseye rode his motorcycle back to the home of Justin Hammer. He still could not get over how he missed Daredevil, not just once but every time he tried hitting the man. This job had gone very wrong for Bullseye, but he knew that was a risk. He had heard about The Kingpin before he took the job and what might happen to him if he failed. But his ego made him take the job, his pride in the fact he could not miss. He missed all right, now he had to work for The Kingpin. Well for now he had to work for The Kingpin, as soon as he figured out Daredevil’s secret he would kill him and The Kingpin. No one went up against Bullseye.

Justin Hammer sat in his living room reading the paper, two bodyguards standing near by. He had decided that he would stay home from the office today. It would be much easier to coordinate his attacks on the late Osborne’s forces from his own home. Hammer had decided two years ago to force his way into the New York mob scene and he had done a good job of it. Only this Kingpin had a real chance to stop him. But thanks to his underworld contacts he had found out who The Kingpin was and sent the best hitman in the world after him. Once Osborne was dead than he would bring in his men from Chicago and take over. Hammer would have been more that happy to let Kingpin live if not for that messy deal in Hell’s Kitchen awhile back.
“Mr. Hammer Bullseye just pulled up.” A man from another room said.
“Good show him in.” Hammer said. He lit a cigar and looked at his two men. “You two stay in here. There may be trouble.” Bullseye walked into the room took a quick note of the two bodyguards and stood in front of Hammer.
“The job is done I assume. That is why you are here after all.” Hammer said to the man.
“It is done. Osborne had a new bodyguard that gave me trouble but you will not have to see Osborne again.” Bullseye said.
“Good sit down I have something to talk to you about. Bullseye sat in a chair and looked at Hammer. “I want to move in on Osborne’s interests right away. But I am sure his men will fight me on it. I want you to stay on and work for me as a full time enforcer.”
“Well Mr. Hammer that would be great, but I have another job that would make what you want impossible.”
“What ever job that is I will double your pay.” Hammer said.
“Sorry but that will not happen.”
“Why is that?”
“I will show you.” Bullseye stood up and in a flash he threw two knifes at the bodyguards, both fell to the ground dead. The knifes sticking out of their eyes. Hammer sat in his chair wide eyed.
“What are you doing?”
“I got a better offer. The Kingpin sends his regards.” Bullseye said as he pulled out a gun and shot Hammer threw the heart. Hammer feel to the ground dead.

Bullseye rode back to Osborne’s office. He hatted killing Hammer like that. It was not his way to kill the man who had employed him in the first place. But he had to stay on The Kingpin’s good side until he could strike Daredevil. No one made Bullseye miss. No one.

Peter woke up and got dressed in a hurry. He was feeling much better than he was yesterday and he was in a great mood. Tonight while his aunt and uncle were out at dinner he would be hanging out with Robbie and Mary Jane. Peter had a crush on Mary Jane for years and the two had become good friends. Any time he got to spend with her was great. He ran down the stairs and into the kitchen where he saw Joe eating with his aunt and uncle.
“Hey Pete you got the story finished?” Joe asked.
“Sure do Mr. Robertson.” Peter said as he handed a disk over to Joe. Joe took it and put it in his pocket.
“So what are you three kids going to do tonight?” Asked May.
“I don’t know maybe catch a movie or something like that.” Peter replied. “So who are you guys going to have dinner with tonight?”
“He is a close family friend named Wilson Fisk.” Bed answered.
“I have heard you talk about him before. What is his deal?” Asked Peter.
“He was a kid that tried to rob us years ago. Instead of turning him in Ben helped the boy turn his life around. And Joe got him his first job at the Bugle years ago. He wants to talk to s tonight but he did not say what about.” May informed him.
“Joe knows why but he is saying nothing.” Ben said.
“I promised him I would not say anything.” Joe said as he stood up to leave. “I have to go. A car will be here to pick you two up tonight at seven. Be ready.” Joe left the house. Peter had a smile on his face. He always got that smile whenever he thought about Mary Jane.

Joe walked into the Daily Bugle newsroom and saw it a flurry of activity. He saw J.J. standing by his office door.
“Joe get over here!” He yelled in that voice that told Joe something was up.
“What going on?” Joe asked when he got over there.
“Police just found Justin Hammer and two of his bodyguards dead in his house.” Joe’s jaw dropped. Justin Hammer was one of the best known and well loved men in the city. Despite the rumors of underworld dealings. “I need you at police HQ and get whatever info you can.” Joe walked right back out of the newsroom. Hammer had some powerful friends in the city only someone not scared of the police would take him out. And Joe thought of one name. The Kingpin.

[spideyrules99]

Osborne smiled as he read the morning paper. It was all over the news, poor Hammer found dead in his house. He had already told Matt to start buying off Hammer’s stuff. The police were still looking for clues and when they find them it will lead them to a homeless drifter. Thanks to the lead detective being one of Kingpin’s men. The underworld knew better however. In fact two smaller gangs had already called Osborne and told them they were no longer going to fight him. Thanks to the murder of Justin Hammer Hammer Osborne now called the shots. Matt walked into the room.
“I see you are reading about your poor friend Hammer and his untimely demise.” Matt said to him.
“I always find it odd when I hear a blind man use the phrase ‘I see’.” Osborne joked.
“Well in truth I can ‘see’ better than most men.” Matt sat in a chair. “Why did you call me today?” He asked.
“Two reasons. The first I want you to start looking into buying Hammmer’s businesses. I want to take over as fast as I can.”
“And the second.”
“There is a reporter for the Daily Bugle it seems he has been writing a lot of sotries about The Kingpin lately.”
“And you want him killed?”
“Not yet. I think killing him so soon after Hammer’s death would look mighty funny. Wait a few days. If he does not back off than I want him dead.”
“And who is this man?”
“Joe Robertson.”


Joe, his wife Marla, Ben and May Parker entered the fancy upscale restaurant.
“Excuse me sir, Mr. Fisk is waiting for you and your party.” A man said as he led them to a large table. Sitting there was a very large bald man.
“Wilson Fisk.” May said happily as she hugged the large man.
“May, Ben it is great to see you again.” The group took their seats.
“So Wison what is this big surprise you have for us?” Ben asked.
“There will be plenty of time for that after dinner my friend.” Wilson said. “But first I want to catch up over dinner.” The group of old friends sat and had dinner while catching up on old times. After dinner the conversation drifted to Wilson and Joe talking about The Kingpin.
“I think he had something to do with the death of Hammer.” Joe said.
“Oh and why do you think that?” Ben asked.
“The rumors of his underworld dealings. And the fact that the police have already claimed to have caught the man this fast makes me wonder what is up.”
“Well that is not to shocking. Whenever a well off person even gets mugged in this city the police are all over it.” Wilson said.
“I saw the crimes seen pictures of the crime and read the reports thanks to my contacts at the station. There is no way a homeless man would have done this and not stolen anything. And the fact that the shots were dead on. The work of a pro not a drifter.”
“That is a good point.” Admitted Ben.
“Well you can print what ever you like just remember don’t do anything that will get my paper sued.” Wilson said.
“Your paper.” May said in shock.
“That’s right. I am now the owner of the Daily Bugle.”
“That’s great!” Ben chimed in. Everyone talked in an excited tone.
“And that is not all.” Wilson looked over at Ben and May. “You two helped turn my life around. If not for you two I don’t know where I would be right now. And as a small token of my gratitude I have something else to tell you.” May and Ben looked at each other. “The house that you two live in. The one you opened to me is now yours. I went to the bank and paid of the mortgage today. And I have set up a collage fund for peter. I want him to have everything you two have given me.” May and Ben were overcome with joy. May started to openly cry.
“I don’t know what to say Wilson.” May said between tears. Joe lifted his glass.
“A toast my friends.” He said. “A toast to good days ahead.” The small group sat and talked about everything. Things were good for the Robertsons and The Parkers.

[spideyrules99]

Mary Jane, Peter, and Robbie all three walked out of the movie they had just seen.
“Who wants to stop for ice cream?” MJ asked.
“I do and in fact it is my treat.” Peter answered.
“The working man wants to spend some of that cash.” Robbie joked.
“Won’t we be late checking in with your Aunt Anna?” Peter asked.
“Yes but only by a few minutes. Come on we can save time by ducking down this side street.” MJ said as she ran a head of the guys and turned a corner.
“Hey MJ wait up.” Peter yelled as he and Robbie ran after her. But when they turned the corner they saw MJ standing there, two men in front of her both with knifes.
“Well it looks like we have two more.” One of the men said.
“OK you two do not move. Just hand us over your money and you will be fine.” Peter reached into his pocket and gave the man his money Robbie did the same.
“Maybe we take the girl to.” One of the men said as they looked at MJ.
“You have your money just go.” Peter snapped.
“Oh we have a hero here. I will take care of that.” Peter felt a tingling on the beck of his neck as the first man lunged at him knife first. Peter was shocked to see everything looked as if it was going in slow motion. Peter stepped aside and grabbed the man’s wrist and twisted his arm back. The man screamed in pain as he dropped the knife. Peter punched the man in the face and the man dropped to the ground. Everyone stood there and looked at Peter in surprise. Before the second man could move Peter grabbed a hold of him and pushed him back into a wall knocking him out. Peter got there money back from the man.
“Peter how.. How did you do that?” Asked MJ in shock.
“I don’t know.” Peter said. He was also in shock, he had never done anything like that before.
“Maybe we should head home.” Robbie said. The three teens made their way home. MJ and Robbie talking about what Peter had just done, but Peter was not saying a word. How did he know what that guy was going to do. And how did he move so fast to stop them. Peter was more worried now than he had been the day before. Something was happening to him, but what.

Hey, checking out your story here. Good job. My only immediate feedback is to suggest adding spaces between lines/paragraphs. As is it's a little hard on the eyes.

[spideyrules99]

It had been two days since Peter beat the two men trying to mug him and his friends. In that two days Peter had come to learn some amazing things. First off when he tested his blood he was that it had mutated somehow. He also found that he had all kinds of new powers. He could jump over two stories high. He could lift over 1000 pounds, (Maybe even more than that he has just not tried) he could climb and stick to walls, and he had this little twinge in the back of his neck that warned him when something was going to happen. It had come in handy when he played a game of paint ball with his family and friends. A game that Uncle Ben loved and thought to Peter. Whenever he was shot at he sensed it and dodged everything shot at him. He won the game for the first time ever. The best he could figure was that somehow he gained the powers of that spider that bit him. He had all of these new powers but he had no idea what to do with them. Just for fun he made himself a red and blue costume just like the heroes in the old days. Peter did not think he would go fight crime but it is still a cool thought. All he needed now were some webs. It would not take long for him to design and make a small web shooting device and fake webs. But even with them he still had no idea what he would do with these new amazing powers.


The large church was packed full as it seemed that everyone in the city came to pay their final respects to the late Justin Hammer. Everyone from businessmen to city council men and even the mayor had come to say goodbye to a friend of the city. Joe looked at all the people in attendance and saw Norman Osborne sitting in a seat a few rows away from him. Joe in his digging the past few days had begun to think that Osborne was part of The Kingpin’s crime family he may even be The Kingpin himself. There was just a lot there to look at and a lot of it pointed to Osborne. He would not go public of course not until he had evidence linking the men. But that did not stop him from writing as many stories about the kingpin as he could. He had even written that he believed that Kingpin had Hammer killed and the police may be covering it up. He was able to get a hold of many police files thanks to Ben using his friends in the force. Norman turned and looked back at and looked at Joe. He gave Joe a fake smile and wave.
“Keep smiling Osborne.” Joe thought to himself. “Soon I will have all the evidence I need to bring you down.”


After the funeral the crowd of people filed out of the church. Joe was standing there talking to Wilson when he looked and saw Osborne walk up to the pair.
“Mr. Fisk.” Norman said as he took the large man’s hand. “I just wanted to congratulate on your purchase of the Daily Bugle.”
“Thank you Mr. Osborne.”
“Please call me Norman. Now as a new person business world let me give you some advice. If I was you I would not let loose cannon reporters keep posting stories on some urban legend like the Kingpin. You never know who is reading the paper.”
“Well I think that my paper has the responsibility to make the public aware of what is happening in the city. And this Kingpin is a real figure.”
“Than your reporter should be more careful. If the Kingpin is real than he would not like all of the attention given to him as of late.” Norman warned as he looked at Joe.
“Is that a threat Mr. Osborne?” Joe shot back.
“Why would I threaten anyone. I am just trying to avoid trouble. It would be a shame for the cities most loved newsman to have something happen to him because he did not know when to back off.” With that Norman walked away. If Joe needed any more proof that Osborne was in with the Kingpin he just got. Now he just had to prove it.

[spideyrules99]

I have started to post on the Superman story again I figured I would post the Spiderman story as well to finsih it up. Give me some feed back if you like.

“All I am saying Joe is you should be better with police protection.” Ben told Joe who was sitting in the living room with May and Joe.
“I am not going to change my life just because someone wants to threaten me.”
“If this guy had Hammer killed like you think he would have no trouble killing you.” May added.
“Look that speech today proved to me that Osborne is dirty and I am not just going to let this go. If you forgot I am a crime reporter and it is my job to go with the facts.”
“Yes that is right you are a crime reporter Jo0e not some super hero. Let the police deal with the Kingpin?” Ben asked. Joe looked at his watch.
“Look I have to get going. We can talk about this later I guess.”
“Joe be careful.” May said as she hugged him goodbye.
“I will.” Joe left the house and left May and Ben in the living.

Peter who had listened to the whole exchange came down the stairs and into the room. He looked like he was confused.
“What’s up Pete you look like you have something on your mind?” Ben asked. Peter sat on the couch next to Ben.
“I was listening to you and Mr. Robertson talking. If he and Mr. Fisk were threatened by Osborne why do they just not stop reporting the stories on him?” Amy looked over at Ben and decided to leave the two alone to talk.
“Well Pete it all comes down responsibility. Joe and Wilson think that it is their responsibility to make people aware of what is going on in the city.”
“Why is that?”
“A lot of people feel that things are going down hill lately. They complain about it but that is all they can do. Most people do not have the power to change things. Joe and Wilson have the power to change things so they feel they should do that. Osborne has power as well. But he has chosen to use his power for the propose of hurting people and making him self money.” Ben looked right at Peter. “You must always remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Joe and Wilson remembered that and they are trying to help.”
“I think I understand Uncle Ben thanks.” As Peter walked off he felt a little bit guilty. Joe and Wilson were doing what they needed to do and they had no powers. Peter had received great powers and was doing nothing with them.
Peter walked back into his room and opened the closet door. He stood there looking at his costume that he had made. He was thinking of using it to go to the wrestling show across town and make some money.
“That is the best thing you can think of Pete?” He asked himself. He took the costume out and put it on. He looked in the mirror he had in his room. Standing there reminded him of the old superheroes like Captain America who used his powers to do great things. He also had powers and it was time for him to do great things with them. He thought about how easy he had taken out those two would be muggers.
“With great power comes great responsibility.” It was time for Peter to put his powers to use.

Carol rushed to get home. She was running late from the movie and she was sure that her mom and dad would freak. They said she could go out with her friends but now she was over an hour late. She knew a short cut though a side street but she did not know if she should take it this late at night. She looked down at her watch and decided it was worth it. After a couple of seconds she noticed that there were two men walking behind her. One of the men pointed at her. She stepped up her pace and looked back. They had also walked faster to keep up with her. Carol broke into a full run and was horrified to see that they were both now running to catch up to her.
“HELP!!” She yelled as loud as she could.
“Ain’t no one going to help ya girl.” One of the men said as he grabbed her from behind and threw her against the wall. One of the men reached down and grabbed the girl’s purse. “If you’re lucky this is all we will take.”
“Let here go!” The men heard. They looked up and saw a man stuck to the wall above them.
“What is that?” The first man asked in a panic.
“Me. I’m Spider-Man.” The man on the wall said.
“Your dead is what you are.” The second man said grimly as he pulled out a gun.
“Can’t have that.” Spider-Man said as he shot out a web line from his web shooter he made. It stuck to the gun and Spider-Man jerked it out of the man’s hand and into his own. Spider-Man did a back flip off the wall and landed behind the two men. “Don’t want to wake the neighbors.” Spider-Man joked as he bent the barrel of the gun in his hand. The first man swung at Spider-Man and he easily ducked under it and upper cutted the man in the chin knocking him out. The second man tried to run but he did not get very far before Spider-Man shot out a web line at his feet causing the man to fall. Spider-Man pulled on the line and dragged the man back to him.
“Can’t have you running off before my friends get here.” He said as he shot more webbing onto the man pinning him to the ground. Spider-man turned to leave but the girl stopped him.
“Who are you?” She asked.
“I’m just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.” He said as he jumped into the air and swung away.
“Man my parents will never believe this.” Carol said to herself as she heard a police car in the distance.


Peter got back into his room a couple of hours later trying not to wake his aunt and uncle. He was as happy as he had ever been. In the course of the night he had stopped a car jacking a liquor store hold up, a mugging and a high-speed police chase. And tonight was just a start, this city was going to hear big things coming from Spider-Man in the days to come.

[spideyrules99]

Joe walked into the Daily Bugle and saw it was alive with activity. He walked into Jameson’s office.
“What’s going on JJ?” He asked. Jonah looked up and saw Joe standing there. He took the cigar out of his mouth, Joe found it funny that Jonah always smoked the thing despite all the no smoking signs in the building.
“What’s going on?” Jonah repeated back.
“That’s what I asked you.” Joe said jokingly as he poured himself some coffee.
“You tell me. You are the best crime reporter in the city yet you have no knowledge of this nut in a costume swinging over town last night fight crime?”
“What?” Joe asked.
“Reports from all over the city. Some nut job who call him self Spider-Man ahas been stopping hold up police chases you name it.” Jonah threw him some police reports from the night before. “I want you to get a story on this nut. And get me a picture of him. I want to be the first person in town with a scoop on this guy.” Jonah said.
“I’m on it JJ.” Joe went to leave the room.
“And Joe I want something by the afternoon addition.” Joe left the office. He had a lot of work to do before that deadline. Reviewing police statements and he wanted to interview witnesses to this Spider-Man guy.
“That’s what I love about this city.” Joe said to himself. “Never a dull moment.”


“Did you read the headlines today boss?” Asked one of Osborne’s men as he placed a paper in front of Daredevil. Daredevil picked up the paper and ran his hand across the headline. None of Osborne’s men knew that the Daredevil and blind Matt Murdock were one in the same, to them he was Daredevil head of Osborne’s security so he had to appear to be reading the paper. In truth he was feeling the ink imprint on the paper to find out what it said.
“Masked hero foils hold up.” Daredevil read to himself.
“Some nut job in a costume playing hero. Can you imagine?” The man stopped him self as he looked at Daredevil. “Not that is anything wrong with being in a costume it’s just that..”
“Shut up.” Daredevil said as he cut the man off. He stood up and went to Norman’s office.
“Ah Matt.” Norman said as Daredevil entered the room. “I see you have read the paper on the cities newest hero.”
“Yes I did. So what do you think is he just some nut or is he for real?”
“I don’t really know. Could be just trying to get in the paper.” Norman looked at the front page headline. “And it would seem it worked.”
“But if he is for real he may try and break up some of our activities.” Daredevil said.
“Look this man has only done this one night. Chances are well may never hear about him again.”
“But if he does want to play hero and comes after us..”
“Than you and Bullseye will take care of him.” Norman jumped in. “Besides I think it is all a stunt or something. Trust me this Spider-Man will not be a problem to us.” Daredevil wished he felt as confident as Norman sounded. He did not know why but he had a bad feeling about this Spider-Man.

“Blast it Joe it has been three days since this wall Crawling menace appeared in the city and we do not have any idea who or what he is.” Jonah complained. “We don’t even have a good picture of the man.”
“I am doing the best I can JJ. But no one has a picture of this Spider-Man.”
“Put the word out that The Bugle will pay top dollar for a picture of Spider-Man. But we need a good story to go with it. Joe you are still doing Kingpin stories, maybe this guy works for The Kingpin. And the crimes he is stopping is his way of taking out others so Kingpin can move in.”
“Jonah I am not going to print unfounded rumors in my stories. Besides it could be this man is just trying to help the city.”
“I don’t buy that at all. No Joe there is something going on with this Spider-Man and I will not rest until I find out what it is.”


Peter read the ad in The Daily Bugle.
“Will pay top dollar for Spider-Man pics.” Peter put the paper down and went down stairs to find his Uncle Ben.
“Uncle Ben do you still have that camera around here somewhere?” He asked.
“Yes I think it is up in the attic.” Peter ran for the attic and dug around until he found the small camera and pulled it out of the trunk.
“No sense in anyone else getting the money for Spider-Man shots when I am out there and get them much easier.” Peter began to think about having his picture in the paper. Maybe it would be better if people just thought of Spider-Man as just an urban myth. “No. Never mind.” Peter said as he looked down at a comic book “Someone else has that covered.” Tonight when Peter went out he would not only help in the war on crime but make a few bucks as well.

Daredevil stormed into Osborne’s office and threw a newspaper on his desk.
“Do you see this. That reporter is still writing stories about us.” Daredevil said to the man.
“I know I saw the paper.” Osborne said with no hint of anger in his voice.
“You should have killed him when he was talking to my dad.” Daredevil sat in a chair.
“Yes I should have. But I can’t change that now.” Osborne picked up his small phone. “But I can fix the problem now.” He looked away from Daredevil and spoke into the phone. “Get in here now.” Bullseye walked into the office and stood next to Daredevil.
“What do you need boss?” Osborne gave the paper to Bullseye. “I see. You want the reporter dead. No problem.” Bullseye went to leave.
“Hold it Bullseye. I do want Robertson dead but Daredevil here will take care of that. You are going to kill someone else.”
“Who?” Daredevil and Bullseye asked at the same time.
“Robertson has a friend who used to be on the police force helping him out. Bullseye your target is Ben Parker.”

Peter put the film in the camera and clipped in on his belt. He was going to get the top dollar reward that Jameson had promised for pics of Spider-man. Peter put on his mask and jumped out the window and swung down the street. It was time for him to make a few bucks off of Spider-Man and if Robertson was not careful than Peter would be the new top crime reporter in the city.

“Honey I will be home as soon as I can. I am working late on a story.” Joe said into the phone, his wife on the other end.
“But I have dinner ready to go. This was going to be our night alone with Robbie at the movies with MJ.”
“I will be home as soon as I can. I have to get back to work. I love you.”
“I love you to.” His wife said as she hung up the phone. Joe hung up his phone as well. He felt really bad right now. His wife worked hard to get their special night ready and he had hurt her by staying at work.
“You know what the story can wait.” Joe said as he stood up. It was their special night and he would not waste it at work. “On the way home I will stop and buy some flowers.” Joe stepped onto the elevator. If he hurried he could still make it up to his wife and have a great evening.


Bullseye stood next to his bike with Daredevil on a cell phone next to him. Bullseye was upset by the fact he had such a soft target but right now Norman had him.
“New orders.” Daredevil said as he got off the phone. “You are not just going to kill Ben but his wife and nephew as well.”
“So now I have to kill some old bag and a punk kid?”
“To much for you?” Bullseye got right up on Daredevil and stood toe to toe with him.
“As soon as I am free of Osborne I am going to kill you.” He threatened. Daredevil turned his back to walk away. He turned back at Bullseye.
“You tried that once and failed. Any time you want round two I will be here. But tonight we have jobs to do. I suggest you stop your sad little threats and get it done.” Daredevil stood there while Bullseye got onto his bike and drove off. As much as Bullseye wanted to kill Daredevil, Daredevil wanted to kill him as well.
“Maybe Osborne will reward me for this Robertson job by letting me kill Bullseye.” Daredevil joked as he got into a waiting car.
“Drive to Robertson’s house.” He told the driver. He would think about Bullseye later. Right now he had a job to do.


Daredevil’s car parked on a street about two blocks away from Robertson’s house, he did not to get any closer to that in case someone called about a strange car. He got out of the car and walked to the driver’s side.
“Leave here and wait for me at the pick up site.” He ordered the man.
“Right boss.” The car dove off. Daredevil took his mask off so he would not attract unwanted attention. He had a long coat on over his costume so he could just walk the two blocks he needed to go.

Daredevil stood outside of the Robertson home and used his senses to tell him what was going on inside. There was only one person in there, a woman.
“His wife.” Daredevil thought to himself. He could smell cooking on the stove so maybe Joe was on his way home for a late dinner. Daredevil made his way to the back of the house and slipped his mask back on his face. He may as well take car of his wife now.

Marla Robertson sat on the couch in the living room watching tv and drinking a glass of wine. She was still a little upset at her husband for working this late, but she was the wife of a crime reporter and he had done this in the past. He would come home with flowers and say a few sweet words and she would no longer be upset, of course she would play it off like she was. In fact after her phone call she was sure he was on his way home now. It was a game they played over the years, in fact she was very proud of Joe and all the things he had done over the years.
Marla had heard the noise of the back door opening in the kitchen. It was not rare for Joe to come in the back way as the subway let him off about a block behind their house.
“Time to put on my game face.” She said to herself as she stood up from the couch. “Well look who finally decided to come home.” She said as she walked towards the kitchen. When she got to the door however she stopped in her tracks. Standing there was a man in a red suit and he had an evil smile on his face.
“I am afraid you won’t be able to join your loving husband for dinner tonight.” He said with an evil grin as he produced a small knife. Marla did not even have time to scream before the masked man was on her.

Bullseye parked his bike a few houses away from the Parker house. His mood was not good at all. He was Bullseye the man who never missed, the man who has killed powerful men, and here he was stuck killing some on man and his wife. He opened his coat and pulled out his gun and made sure the silencer was on. He did not want the whole town to hear him kill this poor fools.
Bullseye walked to the back of the house and slowly opened the kitchen door. The kitchen was empty but he could hear the tv on from the other room.
“Man it is hot in here.” Bullseye said to himself as he closed the kitchen door.
“Peter is that you?” Bullseye heard Ben yell from the other room. Bullseye got his gun ready to shoot the man. Bullseye heard someone start to walk into the other room. Ben stopped when he got to the door.
“Who the hell are you?” Ben demanded. Without answering Bullseye raised the gun and shot Ben in the throat. The man fell to the ground dead.
“BEN! NOO!!!” May screamed as she saw her husband fall to the ground. She turned to run out of the house but fell over a footstool at the end of Ben’s easy chair. She rolled over onto her back and saw the man who just killed her husband slowly walked toward her, his gun raised. May knew she only had seconds to live.

Daredevil stood in the living room of the Robertson home waiting for Joe to return.
“Where is he?” Daredevil asked himself. It had been five minutes since he killed Marla and he wanted to get out of here. Daredevil decided to use his powers to see if Joe was in the area. Daredevil could not sense the heartbeat of someone that could be Joe.
“..Right next door… I think you should send police to..” Daredevil heard the bits of a phone call next door. The man on the phone sounded panicked.
“Damn he must have seen me come inside.” Daredevil cursed himself. How could he be so careless? He decided it was best to leave as he heard a police car off in the distance thanks to his hearing power. From the sound he knew it would be a few minutes before it got there but he did not want to wait around. Daredevil walked out the back door and was about to jump the fence in the backyard to get away when he sensed the man next door staring out his window. Daredevil pulled out his small knife and threw at the man hitting his eye killing him. Daredevil smiled to himself. He may not have killed Joe but he did send the man a message with the murder of his wife.

Peter walked down the street to his house. He was in a great mood. The pics he took tonight of Spiderman stopping that car jacking he would be able to sell to Jameson. As Peter turned and started walking down his street he saw a lot of police cars in front of his house. Peter feeling something was wrong ran to his house. A policeman stopped him before he could get to close to his house. Peter knew the man as one of his Uncle Ben’s friends.
“Sorry son I can’t let you in there.” The policeman said as he held Peter back.
“WHAT IS GOING ON?” peter asked in a panicked voice. Peter saw Wilson Fisk walking out of the house. He broke free from the cop and ran to him.
“Mr. Fisk what is happening?” Wilson lead Peter to a police car and kneeled down beside the boy.
“Peter I have some bad news for you. You Aunt and Uncle had been murdered.” He sad grimly.
“YOU LIE THAT’S NOT TRUE!” Peter yelled. He was a bout to run into the house when he noticed two stretchers coming out of his house with two bodies on them. Peter fell to the ground crying. He knew it was true. First his parents and now his aunt and uncle. Peter never felt more alone than he did right now. He made a silent vow right there that he would find however did this and take them down.

[spideyrules99]

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN JOE IS STILL ALIVE?!” Yelled Osborne.
“The man next store called the police. I had to get out of there. I killed his wife.” Daredevil answered.
“Great give him more of a reason to come after us.” Norman said. He stopped as Bullseye walked into his office. “Well how did it go for you?” He asked.
“I killed the old man and the woman.” Bullseye answered.
“What about the Parker kid?” Norman was more than annoyed right now as it seems that no one followed his orders.
“The Parker kid was not there so I bailed.”
“What is the matter with you two? I give you a job to do and you both mess it up.”
“You want me to try and kill Robertson again?” Daredevil asked.
“No you fool. So soon after all of this, it would bring on to much heat. It will be all I can do to stay out of trouble for this. Trouble I would not have to worry about if you two did your jobs.”
“Relax boss.” Bullseye said. “What harm can and old reporter and a punk kid do to us anyway.”
“Bullseye I have a feeling that we will soon find out.” Norman said as he left his office leaving the two men standing there. Daredevil knew his boss was mad. And he knew he was right, Robertson was going to be a lot of trouble for him in the next few weeks.

[spideyrules99]

It had been two weeks since the murder of his aunt and uncle and Peter was still in a small daze. Not only were his aunt and uncle that were killed but Robbie’s mother as well. The police claimed they did not know who committed the murders but Robertson and Wilson seemed to think it was the Kingpin. A warning to back off the stories they had been working on, his uncle was killed because of his help. Peter looked at his Spiderman costume hanging in the closet. He had to make a small hole in the new closet to hide his costume from Robbie and Joe whom he now lived with. Wilson had bought the three of them a new house to live in, a house away from the painful memories of what happened in the other houses. Peter took out the costume and put it on. It was time for him to make the Kingpin pay for his crimes.

The Prowler stood overlooking a warehouse. He knew it belonged to The Kingpin, a place where he stored his illegal goods. After reading every thing he could about The Kingpin, those newspaper stories that Joe Robertson had done, and he used his computer skills he hacked into the police data bank and learned all he could about what The Kingpin owned. It was time to hurt The Kingpin.
The Prowler stood on the roof of the warehouse his plan was simple, he was going to bust in take out The Kingpin’s men and burn the place to the ground. None of the stuff in here would make The Kingpin any money. The Prowler would see to that.


There were five men in the warehouse, all five were sitting at a table three were playing cards and the other two were reading the paper.
“Man I am bored.” Said the first man named Leo.
“Look all we have to do is sit here and guard this stuff. Man it has to be the easiest gig in the world since Kingpin has the police paid off. So stop your complaining.” Shot back the boss of the men named Bill. On of the men taped Bill in the arm.
“I think it just got hard.” The man tapping him said. Bill looked up from his paper and saw what the man meant. Standing there was a man in a solid black costumed with a blood red cape and mask. He had metal gloves on his hands.
“Who are you?” Bill said as he stood up and pointed a gun at the man. The Prowler raised his right hand and shot a small dart out hitting the gun hand of bill knocking the gun out of his hand.
“My name is The Prowler. And you men have five minutes to get out of here.”
“Oh really and why is that?” Leo asked. The Prowler raised his left hand and pointed it at a large wooden box. A flame shot out and engulfed the box and set it on fire.
“Because it will take about five minutes for that fire to spread and set this whole place up. Now if I were you I would get going.” On of the man ran at The Prowler. Prowler shot a blast of compressed air out of his glove and sent the man flying back.
“You don’t know who you messin with man.” Bill said.
“Yes I do. I am messing with murdering scum. Who get rich off the pain of others. You tell The Kingpin that this will happen to everyplace he owns until I finally get tired of playing and take him out for good. Now go.” The five men saw the flames spreading and decided to get out while they could. The Prowler smiled behind his mask as he to decided to leave.
Prowler stood on a rooftop watching the warehouse burn. He smiled as he thought of all the money that The Kingpin was losing in the fire. But The Kingpin was going to lose much more than money before this was all over.

[spideyrules99]

Spiderman stood on the roof of New York 1st National Bank, he had a small piece of paper in his hands that told him this was the right place. As part of Joe’s research he had a list on all the known and suspected places The Kingpin had. This bank was used after hours to ‘clean’ The Kingpin’s dirty money. No one had been able to prove it of course. Thanks to The Kingpin’s inside man the police had never been able to catch them. They had to bust them red handed to make anything stick but they had not been able to. Tonight they would.
Spiderman walked over to a vent on the roof and tore off the cover. He climbed down the three stories until he was on the first floor. He tore of the cover to that vent and jumped onto the floor. Spiderman knew that all of the alarms were off for two reasons, first if Kingpin’s men were running around here than they would not want to trip them off. Second his ‘Spider-Sense’ that little buzzing that let him know when someone was watching or that something was about to happen had not gone off. Spiderman knew they were in the basement but he also knew that he could not just walk right down there. He had to come up with a plan.
“Maybe I should have done this before I entered the bank.” Spiderman said to himself. He was about to think about his next move when the bell from the elevator broke his train of thought. Spiderman jumped onto the ceiling as the doors opened. Spiderman watched as a man stepped off the elevator carrying a large bank bag. Spiderman shot out a web line and snagged the man by his shoulders and pulled him up. He webbed the man’s mouth so he would not scream out. Spiderman webbed the man to the ceiling and tore open the bag and saw a large amount of money.
“Little late for a deposit friend. How many men are down there?” Spiderman demanded. The man held up his middle finger. “Well if there really is only one man down there I will have an easy time with this.” Spiderman webbed the rest of the man to the ceiling and jumped onto the floor. He had a plan now, he was going to take the elevator back down, and hopefully they would think it was the man that just came up than he would beat them all and call the cops.
“OK Pete may not be the most thought out plan but hey it may work.” He said to himself as he stepped onto the elevator.


Four men were in the basement, Two counting money and two guarding the place. All four men looked up the elevator stopped on their floor.
“Kenny ain’t posed to be back yet.” One of the men said. When it opened and the room was empty the men were a bit confused.
“Go check it out.” The first man said to the second. The second man raised his gun and walked into the elevator. He heard a small tapping on the roof of the elevator.
“Something is up there.” He yelled back to the others.
“Than shoot it you fool.” He did not have time. Spiderman came crashing off the roof and landed on the man, the force of the fall knocked the man out. The first man was about to shoot at Spiderman but the hero shot out a webline and snatched the gun away. Spiderman jumped into the air and landed in front of the shocked thug. He landed a punch on his jaw and sent him down. The great thing about his Spider-strength is the fact most guys go down after one hit. Spiderman turned to the two counters and shot out a webline pinning each to the wall.
“This is The Kingpin’s money. You touch one cent and you will be dead in a few days.” One man threatened.
“I don’t plan on stealing this dirty money. I plan on calling the police and having them arrest you all.”
“Go ahead. The cops around here are on Kingpin’s payroll anyway.”
“That’s right I need to have all the police here don’t I.” Spiderman picked up a cell phone laying on the table and dialed 911. “Hello 911 I have and officer down.”

Spiderman changed back to Peter Parker after leaving the bank. He stood with a crowd of on lookers as the police loaded The Kingpin’s men into cars. Peter was right that officer down call brought police from all over the area. There was no way Kingpin’s men could deny this. Peter thought of all the money that The Kingpin had lost this night. But this was just the tip of the iceberg, Peter still had much more to do.

“HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!!” Osborne yelled after hearing the news about his warehouse fire and bank losses. “Who is this Prowler? Is he part of another gang?”
“I don’t think so Sir.” Daredevil answered. “He seemed to have something personal against you.”
“Find out who he is, than give him a reason to hate me. What about this Spiderman? Are they working together? What is his deal?”
“He has been in the papers before for fighting crime. It would seem he wants to stop fighting small stuff and move to you.” Bullseye said.
“Well we need to show him how wrong he is. Find these two men and kill them. Kill their families, friends, people they say hi to on the subway ANYONE THAT KNOWS THEM!! You two have till the end of the week. Now go.” Daredevil and Bullseye filed out of the office. Daredevil knew that Spiderman would be trouble for them. No matter at the end of the week he would be dead.
