Ch: 131 [It’s Clobberin’ Time]
[Hideout]
Frank was fixing his car when I stepped into the hideout as usual. A beer bottle was on the ground and he was under the car. I looked around. Not much has changed except that this place looks a bit clean. The cars that we secured back then were all there, lined up in a row. Frank covered them with a white cloth, probably for protection.
"Still fiddling with that junk?" I asked as I walked to the fridge and took out a soda can.
"Not junk!" Frank said as he pushed the cart he was lying, out under the car and sat up, "Vintage, Spidey." He corrected me with a serious expression.
"C'mon, look around you, man, there are nine cars lined up around you, two vintage models too... And yet, you keep fiddling with that one. How many hours have you spent working on that car alone?" I asked exasperatedly.
"Let's just say this one holds some good old memories and it's special," Frank said as he sighed nostalgically while taking a sip from the beer, his eyes fixed on the vintage Honda CRX.
"If you say so." I shrugged nonchalantly. "So, how have you been? Get into any trouble while I was gone?"
"Just..." His face turned somber as he looked at me, "I'm glad to see you alive. And speaking of trouble, that new officer Yuri Watanabe keeps getting in my way... Way too frequently. Lady put out a warrant on my head last month..." He sighed with a frustrated expression. "So, you gonna tell me how you survived that explosion and came back after almost a year?"
So, I told Frank everything that happened after that explosion day when Norman's dead body blew up in that warehouse filled with explosives along with me. Took quite some time to explain, but he listened patiently to it till the end without interruptions. He even stared in disbelief a couple of times hearing a particular part.
"...So, that's the full version of how I survived," I finished explaining with a tired sigh, leaning against the sofa behind me.
"That girl from the docks save you, huh? And Kamar Taj... Figures... It was a good choice to let her go instead of handing her to the cops," Frank nodded understandingly while resting his back against the hood of the car.
"I wanted to contact you and my family, but I wasn't ready back then. I knew I had to master my power without any distractions or anything. I couldn't let another incident like that happen. So, I suppressed my emotions and completely focused my mind on learning magic and my Spidey power. Then when I thought I was ready, I came back," I said after emptying the soda and throwing the can in the dustbin at the end of the room.
"Damn, boy... Your life never gets boring, does it?" Frank chuckled with amusement as he continued. "Well, I also kept myself busy as usual. Took down Tombstone's gang, but then the new lady stopped the war. She's now controlling everything in place of Kingpin. Her name is Emma Frost. Lady's a mutant, a powerful one at that. Rumors have it that she's an Omega-level mutant." Frank nodded gravely.
"Emma Frost, huh! She's gonna be an annoying opponent to deal with. Telepathy, Psionic energy, Telekinesis, Organic diamond body... Seesh... She'll be a tough one," I said, remembering her details from the comics and movies.
"And you know about her power... Why am I not surprised?" Frank snorted with a sigh.
"Never meet an enemy unprepared, Frank. The first rule in battle is to never underestimate an opponent, no matter how strong or weak you are. I just happened to come across some classified data in the past, now, it'll come in handy. Anyway, she can wait, right now, we are going to track down a bigger fish," I said as I walked toward the table on which a couple of energy guns were lying.
"Which is?"
"Black Cat broke into Baxter Building and took some data. Now, she's going to meet up with whoever hired her. We are gonna nab whoever that it is before that unknown person does something stupid with that data. Oh, and Ben and Wanda are gonna join us this time," I explained while picking up a couple of blasters.
"Really? A team-up..." Frank looked surprised.
"Yep," I nodded while examining the plasma gun, "Ben is just a temporary ally as for Wanda, I'm thinking of adding her to our team. She's good and I want her to enjoy outside life a bit more...Show her around the ropes," I told him about Wanda.
"Fine by me. But we are gonna need a car good enough to fit in The Thing," He said while cleaning his greasy hand on a cloth.
"Who said we are going by the road?" I asked him with a grin as I moved my finger in the air, drawing a magic inscription, "We are going to jump right in the middle of the party and crash it," I said as a circle appeared, before disappearing with a flicker.

[3rd Person POV] [Jersey- Construction site]
Black Cat arrived at the meeting location in due time. It was a construction site from the outside, but in reality, it was Kingpin's hideout. Two days ago, his men shifted him there. There were armed guards around the place and some cameras that overlooked the street. Gangsters dressed as civilians were all around the place, keeping their eyes alert for any sneak attack or danger that might put a surprise on this meeting. There were also drones deployed in the surrounding area.
Felicia was sitting in the waiting room and wondering who this person was who paid her that much money to steal the data. She has already pointed out the escape routes on her way up to the top floor, just in case they try to silence her and she has deployed multiple button-sized explosives around the place while the guards were escorting her to the top floor through the stairways. A small push of a button on her wrist is all it would take to bring this place crashing down.
And if these precautions aren't enough, then she'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way.
After a few minutes, a tall man in a suit and glasses entered the waiting room. She raised a brow when she noticed him enter the room. At a single glance, she could tell that the man before him is unarmed and weak as fuck. She smirked in amusement.
"James Wesley," the man introduced himself as he entered, "I represent a group that had put forth a...significant financial reward, as you are no doubt aware," He told her casually as he moved across the room.
"So, which little corporation do you work for, huh?" She asked him mockingly with a slightly mocking smile as she inspected him from top to bottom, "Baron Siebberen? Kingpin? Sable?" She guessed with a bored tone.
"Well, I think it would be better if we keep our business relations within a certain limit. We pay, you deliver," James told her with a simple smile and a business-like tone as he took a seat in the chair in front of her.
Felicia snorted. "Fair enough... The flash drive," She took out the flash drive and placed it on the table, "Where's that thing? I assume we are finished talking now, and I want that blue diamond, as per promised." She answered with an impatient voice.
James only smiled and waved his hand. At his signal, three muscular bodyguards wearing bulletproof armor entered with a black briefcase on a wheeled table. He flipped the latches and opened the suitcase revealing a single blue glowing diamond, surrounded by multiple anti-theft mechanisms. The table was locked down with a keypad, and a cage sealed the precious gems.
Her smile turned a lot wider upon seeing the thing. She leaned forward as James unlocked the security mechanism.
"A moment, please," He took the flash drive and put it in his datapad, and checked the data. After ten minutes of examining the data with his experts online, he gave her a nod.
Felicia took the diamond in her hand as she stood up and held it near her eyes, facing the light, to see how pretty it was, before putting it into her pocket.
"You can count on a repeat of business," Felicia replied.
"Do excuse me for a moment," James got up as his phone rang and went near the windows, not giving Black Cat a moment of care or importance.
'Run!' A familiar voice echoed in Felicia's mind. She threw a smoke grenade. James' men immediately got down. Black Cat leaped out of the floor, grappled onto the next building and began running on the rooftops.
Before the smoke even started to spread, a big portal opened on top of the building...
"It's clobberin' time!" The Thing jumped down the portal, crashing through the roof and landing into the room.
