As he rounded the corner out of one hallway and into another, leaving Loki alone to deal Kilgrave his gruesome end, Peter smirked as he leaned against the wall beside a certain black haired eavesdropper, who happened to hear everything that just transpired between him and Loki.

-Flashback-

When Jessica rushed out of the room, hyperventilating at the idea of killing somebody. Even if it was the man that made her life hell and defiled her body over and over, she still wasn't able to do it.

Saying your going to kill someone and actually doing it when they're helplessly brought in front of you is an entirely different thing.

Though, when she was waiting for the elevator, Jessica had some second thoughts.

'I should at least be there and see it for myself...' She thought and marched back with renewed confidence.

...

As she was only one hallway away from returning to Kilgrave's prison cell, Jessica overheard Loki and Peter taking about something.

"You and your brother are more alike than either would like to admit." She hears Spider-Man's voice say in amusement.

"I said you're mistaken." Loki sounded annoyed.

'Doesn't he hate his brother?' Jessica recalled.

"Oh really?" Spider-Man paused as Jessica heard a clicking sound. "Then you wouldn't mind the man that tormented and r*ped her getting off easy with a painless death, right?"

"!" Jessica never told either of them about that. 'How does he know? Did Kilgrave tell him?'

"It's what she wants." Loki didn't sound happy at all.

"Yeah, but she's not here, is she?" Peter says but Jessica felt like he knew otherwise. "Admit it."

'Admit what?' Jessica was confused by their conversation.

"...You win." Loki says reluctantly.

"Say it." Peter demands.

"I love Jessica."

'What!?'

-Flashback End-

"A dark banished prince is vying for your love." Peter says teasingly. "How scandalous."

"You knew I was listening." Jessica says accusingly.

"Well, I don't have super senses for nothing." Peter says with a laugh, as the sounds of a one-sided beating echoed from the nearby hallway. "He's really going to town in there, isn't he?"

Listening to the start of Kilgrave's torture, Jessica felt both uncomfortable and flattered in a weird kind of way. After all, a man loved her so much that he would torture her tormentor to death for what he's done.

"..." The two just stood there in silence, listening to Loki beat Kilgrave with a chair for almost five minutes.

When Loki ran out of steam, Peter left for a moment as he had to send over some supplies, but he soon returned to an empty hallway.

'Did she run off?' He thought as he heard the elevator opening and sprinted over.

Just as it was about to close, Peter dashed over and stuck his hand inside, causing the elevator doors to automatically open.

"Leaving so soon?" Peter asks as he steps into the elevator beside Jessica.

Returning home that night, Peter had dinner with his Aunt before heading off to bed, where he opened up his laptop and looked into another member of the Defenders, who he would recruit next.

Matthew Michael Murdock or Daredevil.

Matt Murdock is a lawyer who was blinded as a young boy by a radioactive substance that fell into his eyes from a crashed transport vehicle.

After some mobsters killed his father, Matt seemed to disappear off of the face of the earth, though Peter knew that was when he met Stick and his warrior training began.

Stick found that even though Matt lost his sight, his other four remaining senses were heightened to superhuman levels, so he recruited him to fight for the Chaste.

However, Matt's compassion for a certain woman led him to be rejected by Stick.

He then returned to Columbia University with his best friend and now business partner, Foggy Nelson to gain his law degree.

Matt dedicates his life to fighting injustice in New York City by day, as a lawyer with his law firm Nelson and Murdock, and by night, as a vigilante known as the Masked Man.

'Daredevil isn't his name yet, huh?' Peter thought as he read through some small news articles. "Should I just go and visit him now?"

Peter couldn't sleep, as his lovely body pillow wasn't with him tonight. MJ was spending the night at her own house since her father was visiting.

Thankfully, her mother warned her beforehand, as she didn't want her father showing up and threatening Peter with a gun once again.

Though Peter wouldn't mind.

Switching to his spider suit, Peter opened a portal and appeared on a rooftop across the street from Daredevil's apartment.

'Anyone home?' Peter thought as he surveyed the windows.

Just as he was watching the windows, a masked man in torn black clothing dragged himself up the fire escape.

'Is that him?' Peter wondered as he watched the battered man tumble into one of Matt's windows, before picking himself up and stumbling to the bathroom.

Putting a few spells on himself to cancel out the sound and smell of his body, Peter leaped over to the same fire escape and silently followed Matt inside.

Taking a seat on the couch, Peter waited as he listened to Daredevil painfully patch himself up in the bathroom.

'This must be early in his hero work.' Peter thought as he didn't even have his red suit with the horns yet.

After some time, the sound of the toilet flushing could be heard as the bathroom door swung open, revealing a haggard and unmasked Matt Murdock.

[Insert picture of Matt Murdock here]

"Sorry for the intrusion." Peter says surprising Daredevil into a frozen stupor. "I was patrolling the area and saw someone matching the Masked Man's description. It's always nice meeting other heroes, so I let myself in."

"I can't see you..." Matt mutters in shock.

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but..." Peter says as if he were a doctor breaking bad news to a patient. "You're blind."

????DONT FORGET MY STONES!????

????'Stones!' I thought, 'Yes Stones!'

I awoke and sprung to my feet

When I thought of the Stones

Stones, tormentor of my dreams

Much I marvelled the happy gems

In a kingdom full of rocks

I felt an unending hunger

On that day my soul grew ravenous????
