Chapter Text
In a home in Hell's Kitchen; a woman and her tall muscular husband were just done watching the show in horror. "Glad that Lisa and Junior are in bed and didn't see this..." the woman muttered as she turned the TV off.
"He has some points..." the man admitted as the woman then looked at him aghast. "I am not saying that we need a police state or that the rights of the innocents shouldn't be protected... Just that we would be a lot safer if certain criminals were done away with... I didn't lose any sleep when I found out that members of that Serpent Society were killed in City Hall." the man then admitted.
"I would prefer it if our city wasn't like a warzone Frank." the woman told her husband chidingly.
"Believe me Maria; I know what a warzone is like and I don't want you or our kids near one but... It seems that the city is becoming more like one every day..." Frank said to Maria who smiled at him and pulled him closer.
"Good thing that we have people to look after us. The kids and I especially have my decorated war hero husband at our side to protect us." Mari said as Frank smiled.
Frank then told her softly "You know that I would never let anything happen to you all... If I did then I don't know what I would do..."
Daredevil was hard at work dealing with some muggers in an alleyway; beating them quite badly with his billy club. He then swung at it at a fire escape and used it to swing himself over a big one and kicked him in the back of the head and then got his billy club bakc. Using the cable to strangle him and knocked him out with a punch.
"You are safe now." Daredevil then said to the victim who nodded and then started running away. Daredevil looked to the unconscious muggers and then picked up something; police sirens who and officers rushing to their car. "Looks like I am needed elsewhere..." he then said to himself as he then started swinging away.
Back at the studio; Scorpion's eyes widened at what happened and the crowd started yelling in horror and getting off their seats to make their way through the doors. The feed was cut as Gilbert took a look at Scorpion and then made a break for it.
The PDNY officials then ran to the stage as Scorpion was still in shock. "What the hell Mac... What happened out there..." Powell demanded as Scorpion was stuttering.
"I don't know... I wanted him out of the way but the tail... He was in the way..." Scorpion muttered as the officers gave him looks of judgemental. "Oh come on... That Gilbert guy was ambushing me... Don't think that you all haven't thought what I have..." Scorpion shouted out loud causing the officers to take a step back.
"That's not something that you say out loud... Especially not on a live TV show with millions watching... You just made the whole thing a bust... What were you thinking running your mouth like that..." Powell retorted as security came closer and the officers reluctantly put their guns up to aim at Scorpion.
Scorpion noticed Mary Jane looking terrified with Rabin who was in shock; "Octavius was right... It made him all out of control..." Rabin muttered and Scorpion caught it.
"Mac... Stand down and listen to our instructions... We will have spin doctors get a story about that you were stressed and the tail was because of the fawlty suit and it's affecting your mind..." Bullit told him softly but Gargan got his tail to pushed htem all back.
"Yes... It's the suit and Rabin knew... He knew what it could do to me..." Scorpion ranted as he leaped up and got to Rabin. "You did this to me... Your stupid tech got stuck to my body and affected my mind... My career is ruined because of you..." Scorpion ranted picking up Rabin by the collar and then saw Mary Jane started running to safety.
Scorpion got his tail to grab at Mary Jane with her yelling in terror; "MJ!" Rabin yelled as Scorpion tossed her aside.
"I am going to make her wish that she was never involved with you and then I will be making sure that your end will not be quick or painless..." Scorpion snapped as he started running away.
Spider-Man was slinging to the TV building and he got a call incoming from Octavius; "Hey Doc... So you saw the show and know that we were right? I kind of hate that we were in this case..." Spider-Man muttered as Octavius then sighed.
"I saw something like this coming but it didn't make me any more ready for when it came. Be careful as he is dangerous but I will tell you this... I have looked at the footage of his training and noticed something that will give you an advantage." Octavius answered him and Spider-Man was interested.
"Any advantage will be welcome Doc..." Spider-Man replied and Octavius cleared his breath.
"That goes for most cases... But in this case; I noticed he hasn't been adequately prepared to fight someone like you. You have more experience fighting superhumans than he has in that you have actually done so." Octavius informed him and Spider-Man grinned.
"Will take note of that Doc thanks... Leave it to me..." Spider-Man then said as he noticed a figure swinging on a building nearby.
"I will. I will be rooting for you but I want to get some work done; take advatnage of this farming XP glitch before it gets patched out... I mean valuable work!" Octavius then said as it was then ended.
Spider-Man then saw the swinging figure was in red; "Looks like I will defintely have help..." Spider-Man then said grinning.
