The man chuckled, "you wouldn't dare. I know you hero types, you're all the same. You hurt, but you don't kill!"
I looked down, "we're standing on two standard sized frater crates...around fifteen feet each. That's thirty feet….hm, the highest point a human can fall from and not die is forty feet….yeah, let's risk it," I let go.
"ARGH!" he cried out.
I shot out a web line and caught his ankle as soon as he passed the second crate. He looked up at me, revealed. And then I let him go once again.
"ARGH!" he cried out in pain as he landed on his legs, nothing broke, he was just in pain. I landed next to him, grabbed his curled up figure by the neck once more before pinning him to the metal crate, "where. Is. Fisk?"
"H-he's in a warehouse up in the Bronx! We were supposed to bring him the people in one hour!"
"Where?" I asked.
"It's on Hunts point! He's waiting for us there with a couple of hundred guys!"
Immediately Sexy pulled up a display on my HUD marking the spot, "I see. Thanks," I let him go, walking away, Hunts point...again? Hm, same spot, different crimes in different worlds. What a coincidence.
"Sexy, call the police and notify them about the human trafficking ring we discovered."
"Right away Spider. Shall I inform them about Fisk as well?"
"No, not yet. First I want to have a little chat with him," I saw the man I just interrogated get up and try to make his escape. I turned around and fired a web ball at him, pinning him to the crate, "yeah, I'm not letting you go that easily."
An hour later:
BOOM!
Richard Fisk flinched, "what the hell was that?!"
Boom!
The door to his office flew off its hinges as one of his men came flying through body first, crashing into Richard's desk, knocked unconscious.
Immediately Fisk's heart rate began to increase, he couldn't believe what was going on, no one was supposed to know he was back, no one! He drew a handgun for protection, aiming it at the long open corridor that lead to his office door.
"You know, when I decided to let you go that time, it was only because Mrs. Hardy asked me too," I spoke as I webbed his gun and pulled it out of his hand.
Fisk turned around, his eyes widening in fear. I climbed through the window and into his office, "you were told never to return Fisk...why risk that?"
"This city is my birthright," he gulped as he slowly backed away, "I am-"
Thwip!
I webbed his mouth, "not interested."
Skit!
I grabbed him by the collar and smashed him into the wall of his office, the stingers on my right hand pressed against his neck, "now then, let's have some fun."
"ARGH!" he cried out. I didn't kill him, no, I didn't even cut him with my claws. But I did break a few fingers, which felt nice.
Around six in the morning I swung my way over to Strange's place, it was early in the morning and the sun was barely up. The city that never sleeps, that is true. But from up here, the city looked very very peaceful. Not a thing was wrong. It was perfect. Which wasn't true at all.
I knew this city...it was sick, May and Felicity will have their hands full. But, I did them a solid in getting rid of Richard Fisk, so at least they don't have a complete shit hole to protect.
Eventually I made my way to the Sanctum Sanctorum. I climbed inside through the attic and went into the kitchen finding him sitting on the dining table reading the paper. "Long night?" he asked.
"I stopped a human trafficking ring and caught Wilson Fisk's son from reforming the Kingpin empire in New York," I shrugged as I sipped my coffee, "oh and I destroyed the costume Peter lent me," I pointed at the bullet holes I had gained, "damn cheap shit."
"You can wear these robes then," he said throwing a set of red robes at me.
"Hey! My robes! I thought I lost them," I grumbled glaring at the offending piece of cloth.
Strange smiled, "yes, apparently they grew legs and leaped up onto my chandelier and tucked themselves in tight. Now," put the paper down, "how are you coming along with your weapons conjuration?"
I clicked my fingers, forming my magical focus to create an ethereal rod made out of golden red glowing energy. I grabbed it and spun it around, "it's not bad but….still too slow to form."
"Well...it's decent enough. Come, we'll move onto the next stage," Strange replied as he got up left the dining hall. I sighed as I followed him to his study and watched as he moved the furniture to the back.
Strange held up his hands and placed them facing each other. Suddenly a magic circle was formed between his hands, Strange slowly pulled them back, creating a line of magic that looked like it was being weaved by Strange's will.
He caught the strand with his right hand and flipped it around, making it curve around in the air like it was alive. "This is the whips of Vastha, very deadly and very powerful, if you know what you're doing," he had the whip turn into a lasso which he then used to grab a lamp and throw it across the room.
Strange then shoot the whip over his head causing it to fly up and strike the ceiling. He pulled himself up showing how powerful the whip truly was. "It can be manipulated to do several things, including creating an adhesive property quite similar to your webs. This is the next weapon I want you to master."
I was definitely interested, "I can use this in cases of emergencies," I murmured, "no more worry about running out of web fluid for me."
Strange nodded, "yes. Of course, it doesn't have a solid staying field, so you can't use it to tie up criminals or other things, but I'm sure you'll fdn it's limitations very soon," he picked up a book and tossed it to me, walking out of the room, "learn it quickly, I have much more to teach you."
I sighed, guess I'm not going to get any sleep today, "for the record, you're one hell of a slave driver."
"I'm aware," came the man's almost dull reply, "I expect you to be able to do it by tomorrow night. Sleep well Apprentice Parker."
I sighed, well at least he isn't completely heartless. I think.
