(Queens, New York. December, 2013. Y/N's age: 17)

Y/N's P.O.V 

Right now I'm out in the city as Spider-Man just watching over it.

Just then I get contacted by Harry over the commlink.

Harry: Y/N, we've got a problem.

Y/N: It wouldn't be us if we didn't, what's up?

Harry: There's a bank robbery two blocks from you.

Y/N: Okay, I'm on it. Stay on standby, just in case. This could be a diversion or something.

Harry: Got it.

After that I swing around the corner and head to the bank.

Once I get there I land on a rooftop near the bank and hear the alarm going off.

The doors burst open and sand spills out of it.

The sand forms into Flint Marko a.k.a Sandman.

Y/N: Marko again. Really?

Marko showed back up back in April with these sand powers.

I honestly thought he was still in jail.

I jump off the rooftop and swing down to him.

Y/N: Marko, good to see you.

Sandman: Hey, Web-Head. I thought this would get your attention. Though I'm surprised your buddy Batwing isn't here. I'd like to kill you both.

Y/N: You did this to see me? That's so sweet. I'm very flattered, I must say. And Batwing is busy.

Sandman: Though I'm surprised you and your friends aren't dropping cities from the sky.

Y/N: Okay, we didn't do that. Ultron did that.

Marko swings at me, but I duck down and punch him in the chest.

My arm goes through him though and gets stuck.

Y/N: Ah, crap. Not again.

I look up and he hits me, it sends me flying back into a wall.

Y/N: Ow. That hurt.

Sandman: I'm made of sand, Web-Head. You can't beat me like that.

I look up and see a fire hydrate.

That's how I beat him.

Y/N: You're right. I can't.

He tries to crush me, but I jump into the air and land next to the fire hydrate.

Y/N: Hey, Sandman! I'm right here!

He turns and break open the fire hydrate and cause him to get hit by the water.

The water causes his body to start melting down.

Y/N: You're made out of sand, Marko. You should know that water is your weakness.

Before I can get to him he uses his sand form to go down into the sewers below the city.

Y/N: Damn it.

I look over and see the bags of money.

Sandman: Ah, my money!!

I chuckle.

After that I take the bags of money back to the bank.

The manager comes over to me.

Y/N: Here you go, sir. I think this belongs to the bank. Well, not really, but you get what I mean.

Manager: Thank you so much, Spider-Man.

Y/N: Anytime. Just doing my job.

I leave the bank and web zip away.

(Fifteen minutes later)

I make it back to the Spider Cave and come out of the elevator.

I see Harry and Jenna at the monitor.

Y/N: Hey, guys.

They look at me.

Harry: Hey, man.

Jenna: Hey. Great job taking down Sandman.

Harry: It was quick though.

Y/N: Yeah, it was. Marko isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the tool shed.

Harry: True.

Jenna then gets a text.

Jenna: Sorry, guys. Gotta go. My mum needs help back home.

Y/N: No problem. See ya later.

Jenna: See ya.

She hugs us both before leaving.

Harry: Bye.

He then looks to me.

Harry: Man, it's really weird.

Y/N: What is?

Harry: We haven't had to deal with any big bad guys since Tombstone.

Y/N: Yeah, I know. And you're right, it does feel weird. But it's nice to have some peace and quiet.

Harry: Good point.

I sigh.

Y/N: Well, I better go too. I told Tory I'd take her out for lunch.

Harry: Alright, man. I'll watch over the city and deal with anything that comes up.

Y/N: Thanks, bro.

Harry: Anytime.

He and I fist bump before I go to change out of my suit.

I really hope this quiet lasts for a bit longer, at least until Christmas has come and go.

(Several hours later)

Third person perspective

Meanwhile at an undisclosed location, Hammerhead is in his office with his crew patrolling outside.

He has a guest on the way.

A moment later one of his crew knocks on the door and comes in.

Thug: Boss, your guest is here.

Hammerhead: Good. Send him in.

The thug nods and leaves.

After a few minutes the guest walks in.

It is Victor Creed a.k.a Sabertooth.

Sabertooth: Hello, Hammerhead.

He smirks.

Hammerhead: Hello, Creed. It's good to see you again.

Sabertooth: So, why did you ask me here?

Hammerhead: I need your help with something. I need you to join my crew.

Sabertooth: And why's that?

Hammerhead: I have a big mission coming up and I know that a certain hero will get in my way.

Hammerhead drops pictures on his desk.

Pictures of Spider-Man from the Bugle.

Sabertooth: Spider-Man. I've heard of him.

Hammerhead: Yes. When he comes for us, I need you to deal with him.

Sabertooth: Why me?

Hammerhead: You've killed plenty of people. What's one more?

Creed smirks.

Sabertooth: Okay, but I expect to be paid.

Hammerhead: Oh, you will. I promise you that.

Sabertooth: I'll also need you to do something for me.

Hammerhead: And what's that?

Sabertooth: Hold someone for me.

Hammerhead: Who?

He and Creed leave the office and go to Sabertooth's car.

Creed opens the trunk to reveal Laura Howlett, Wolverine's daughter.

Hammerhead: And who do we have here?

Sabertooth: Wolverine's daughter.
