(First PoV)
As I was heading to Dad's house, suddenly, my phone rang.
It was Gwen's.
"Harry, come to the hospital. There is someone suspicious lurking around."
"Got it."
I stopped the taxi, and went to an alleyway avoiding any cameras, taking out a suit from my bag. I had prepared it to use eventually, and well, it isn't really anything spider themed. But I will make do with it for now.
Wearing it, I realised that it is uncomfortable. I guess I have become taller.
Anyway, I slowly started running, shot a web at a building, and climbed it.
This is... exciting!
I have learnt parkouring, but not from such tall buildings!
Pushing away my excitement, I webbed another building, and holding my breath, jumped.
As I was midway, I webbed to another building, changing my direction towards the hospital.
I guess something has been leaked. It's best to move Extremis somewhere else.
Soon enough, I spotted a figure in a black white suit, clearly made out of Gwen's webs and sprayed black, leaving a black spider-symbol on the chest.
It's different from Spider-Gwen huh.
I swung by and landed close to her.
"It seems like Extremis was leaked."
She said, and I nodded.
We eyes a girl in black bodysuit, and white hair. It is clearly black cat.
She must be here to steal it.
Was that guy on whom we tested it related to her somehow?
How did he transmit the information without me noticing? I have been following him all day.
We tiptoed and went close to her, then I immediately webbed her up, capturing her.
"Who are you cosplayers? My competitors?"
She asked us, not even a bit scared.
"Alright. Spit out everything about yourself. And why are you here."
Gwen demanded.
"I plead the Fifth."
Black cat invoked the fifth.
"..."
Is she an idiot?
"Well, I guess you will not answer our questions so easily."
I pulled her and put her over Gwen's shoulder, and we ran towards a deserted building nearby that is under construction.
After making sure that there is no camera anywhere, I webbed her mouth, and dropped her from the building, hanging her by a web.
"Now interested in telling us everything?"
Now she was scared, and hastily nodded.
I pulled her back up, and removed the web from her mouth.
"Kingpin sent me here, to steal the Extremis."
Kingpin? I heard that he is a crime lord in New York. To be more precise, the lord of criminals.
Oh. Now it makes sense.
That patient must have entered US with his help.
I don't know much about Kingpin aside from him being in Spider-verse.
He could either be trying to steal it for expanding his crime business, or to save his wife.
Either way, he has decided to mess with me.
I took off black cat's mask, and remembered her face.
"Felicia Hardy huh?"
"How do you know my name!? Who the hell are you guys!?"
I webbed her mouth, eyes and ears, and knocked her out.
Then, I and Gwen had a talk.
"How did Kingpin find out about Extremis? Maybe, that guy is connected to him?"
I nodded.
"I have been following around that guy. I don't how he leaked that information.
But the question is, what to do about that guy?"
"We deal with him, of course. Kingpin and his goons have been giving the police a lot of trouble. My father's 'canon event' might be connected to him."
"Dealing with Kingpin wouldn't be difficult. But, we have to do it smartly.
If he does, or is arrested suddenly, all the criminals will start rampaging. Leading to even more casualties.
Going to court over him will be pointless. Otherwise, he would have been convicted long ago."
I have a blind lawyer, who has been trying to convict him for a long time. But, Kingpin has a lot of connections.
"How about we beat him up, and force his criminal Empire to be handed over to this thief? And then, safely dismantle it?"
"How do you know her anyway?"
"She was in a party organised by Dad that I had to attend, hitting on me. I got my watch stolen that day. It must be her."
"... Alright. Let's do that. You know about these things more than me anyway-"
*BOOM!*
Suddenly, an explosion went off. Around a km away, blowing up a skyscraper.
"Damn it! Can this get any worse?"
*BOOM!*
Another explosion went off, blowing up another skyscraper.
My vision and hearing became precise, and I saw something that shook my heart.
Green Goblin has appeared. And he is laughing insanely, flying on a hoverboard.
Damn it!
Damn the Spider's curse!
"Let's go!"
Gwen swinged towards him, and I followed her.
Just why did he turn into Green Goblin so soon!?
