20 The Defender's Base

The Defender's Base

As all the members entered the Defender's base they saw the weirdest scene where Nightwing is standing in front of the computer monitor with Spiderman hugging Nightwing's left leg and begging "Please don't! I swear I will be good!".

Just as they want to leave the base to give Nightwing and Spiderman their privacy, Nightwing quickly shouted towards them "Wait this is not what it looks like!".

........

Feeling the awkward silences from all the members, clearing my throat I decided to divert their attention "The reason I invited all of you here is because the recent increase in super villains and I know where they are coming from". Hearing my sentence all the members suddenly paid attention.

As I repeat my explanation of the situation to the members of The Defender, Daredevil can be seen to be struggling internally to control his anger. Finishing my story, Daredevil quickly interrupted me "Since you know Kingpin is involved why you didn't take action immediately?"

Colleen replied calmly "Action without thought will bring more harm than good" with Ironfist agreeing before quoting "Never let the enemy choose the battlefield. Always work from a position of strength".

Hearing this Daredevil calmed down before saying "I have some experience in dealing with Kingpin, he is very smart and tends to have contingencies to deal with any situation".

Jessica thinking to herself before saying "We need to do the same as how we deal with the crime syndicates but we also need to steal Kingpin data from his computer. People like Kingpin won't have hard copy of all his criminal activities and have it all in his personal computer that is not link to the internet network with high level security password"."It will be hard to get this without being detected or for Kingpin to be suspicious".

"Either me or Spiderman will be enough to break into Kingpin's building to gain entry to the computer, as for hacking I have Oracle to help accomplish the task" I replied.

Spiderman looking around before asking "I always hear from Oracle on my Wing Wave, where is she?"

Oracle answered while laughing "Actually I am an Artificial Intelligence in the Nightwing's base computer and I am created by Nightwing to assist all of you in all your crime fighting activities".

"You hacked us? That means you know all about our private lives?" Luke asked feeling irritated with all the others looking at me accusingly.

"Actually we didn't because we respect your privacy. I am only able to enter your Wing Wave device to check on the situation if you called Nightwing or that i report to you of an ongoing crime nearby" Oracle answered for me which help ease the tension.

Colleen looking around confused "Wait! You just said that you are at Nightwing's Base then what is this place?"

Spiderman answered excitedly "This will be our secret club house".

Daredevil looking irritated at Spidey asking "Seriously how old are you?" which Spiderman quickly divert the question by looking at me asking "So what is the plan?".

Laughing at Daredevil frustrated face I answered "Daredevil, Luke and Jessica all three of you will be following and investigating Norman Osborn for his Secret laboratory possible location"."Daredevil and Jessica will handle the investigation while Luke will provide backup in case of unforeseen circumstances."

"Both me and Spidey will be breaking into Kingpin's office to get access to the information of Kingpin's criminal activities". "Ironfist and Colleen will provide us backup to check on the surrounding and to follow Kingpin" I concluded.

Luke replied "Sound good to me but why am I backup when we are just investigating a normal man".

Looking at Luke in his eyes I answered "Never underestimate your enemies, he may be a normal human being but he is very smart". "If he become suspicious of any of you, he might release all his science experiments so please be very careful". "We will start tomorrow, everyone in agreement?"

Everyone nodded their head in agreement.

Before ending our meeting Ironfist suddenly stop us saying "I feel we should end all our meeting by saying our group oath for motivation and remind us why we are doing this".

Hearing this I can't help feel embarrassed and guilty while thinking to my (Oh no please don't it is so embarrassing) but they all agreed. So standing in circle with all our right fist in front (Decided by spidey. Damn Him!) we did the the oath (With me Blushing Red)

In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape our sight.

Let those who worship evil's might

Beware our power--The Defender's Might!!!!!"

"Yeah!! Lets do this guys!" Spidey said in excited tone as we get ready to leave the base

Hearing this Daredevil look at Spiderman asking "Seriously please tell me, how old are you?".

..........

As Spiderman exit the The Defender's Base, he is feeling depressed wondering whether or how he should tell Harry about his father criminal activities. Removing his costume, he changed back to his normal clothing and was planning to have a long relaxing walk to set his mind at ease.

Peter was feeling angry with himself for his incompetence and that he is not able to help his friend when suddenly his smartphone rang. Looking at the caller ID he saw it was MJ. "Hey MJ whassup?" He answered feeling relieved that he can hear from someone that might be able to distract him.

"Peter, Where are you? I came over to your house feeling worried since you said you were sick but you were not there. Are you ok?" MJ asked anxiously.

"MJ calm down! I am fine. I was feeling a bit better and my room feels a bit stuffy so I decided to have a long relaxing walk". "So sorry I was not around when you arrived and that I made you worried about me" Peter replied apologetically.

MJ flustered answered back "I was not worried about you, I just ended up being nearby to your place so I decided to visit you since I remembered you are sick".

Peter hearing her voice chuckled before saying "MJ thank you for always being there for me, hearing your voice really cheered me up".

"Of course, Peter. I am always here for you. See you at school on Monday" MJ replied blushing."Good Night".

"Good night MJ" said Peter as he ended the call, and feeling slightly better with himself.

Looking into the dark sky, he wondered to himself whether others superheroes has similar problems like what he is having at that moment.

MJ's Bedroom

MJ is lying down on her bed feeling confused on what she saw today, she knows in her own heart what she saw is that Peter is Spiderman. She feels excited to be the only person that know about his secret identity but now she is faced with another problem. Finding a way of convincing Peter to trust her with his secret identity.

...........

Norman Osborn's Secret Lab

Norman Osborn is checking on all the readings of the 'volunteers' in three chambers. The result is good but he is not satisfied yet, he is pushing more into improving his test subjects. Few of the scientist that helped with his research was horrified with the changes he made to the subject which turn them more monster than human. The result also shows that there will be problem in reversing the effect but Norman didn't care.

Seeing that the 'assistants' scientist might report him on his illegal human experiments, he informed Kingpin to get rid of them since they are useless to him. Yes getting rid means killing them but Norman didn't care, he only cared about the results and once he perfected his serum, his name will be forever more remembered in history.

Norman won't have to worry that his son will overthrow him in the future since by then nothing can erase the contribution he has made in improving the human evolution. There will be only one word suitable to represent himself in the future, he will be called... 'GOD!!!'....
