Chapter 111: Bigman of Crime
(The next day)
Y/N's P.O.V
So, after a night of searching, I didn't find Felicia. I don't know whether that's good or bad.
I'm in the Spider Cave now seeing if I can use street cameras to get a line on her.
Y/N: Where are you, Felicia?
Just then I see Harry come in.
Harry: Hey, man. You find your ex yet?
I sigh.
Y/N: Nope. She's... I don't know.
Harry: Where's Kate? I thought she'd be here.
Y/N: She's helping Natasha figure what's on that drive Felicia stole. The only thing we know about that drive is that there's more than one.
Harry: Oh, great. And those drives belong to the old Maggia Crime Families, right?
Y/N: Yep. So, they could have anything on 'em. We also need to learn more about this Bigman. And we know just as much about him as we do about that drive.
Harry: Don't worry, pal. We'll figure it out.
Y/N: Yeah, I know.
I look around.
Y/N: Where's Ben and Tara?
Harry: Tara's out with her sister and Ben's moving himself into my place, he said he wanted to do it himself.
Y/N: Fair enough. Thanks for letting him stay with you. I mean Kate and I offered to let him stay with us, but he... you know.
Harry: Yeah. I do. And it's fine. It'll be nice to have a roommate again.
As I start to think I get an idea.
Y/N: I think I know how to find out more about the Bigman. I have a friend at the Bugle who can tell me something.
Harry: Who?
Y/N: You remember Robbie, right?
Harry: Yeah.
Y/N: Well, he knows alot about what's going on in the streets. If anyone knows anything about this Bigman, it'll be him. I'll go see him.
Harry: Okay. I'll stay here and keep an eye out for you ex.
Y/N: Thanks, man. Let me know if you find her.
After that I suit up and go to the Bugle.
(Fifteen minutes later)
Right now I'm climbing up the Daily Bugle building to get to the top floor and see Jameson.
I get into the supply closet and change out of my suit.
After that I open the door and see that the place is ruined.
I see Rhino is here and threatening Jameson.
Jonah spots me and gives me a signal to leave as it seems the Rhino is looking for me.
I nod and leave the room.
After that I suit back up and swing around to the window on the other side.
Rhino: Do you think I'm stupid?
I shoot a web at the rhino's head.
Y/N: Well, you are dressed stupid, Alexei.
This causes him to drop the desk he's holding, I swing in a save Jonah before he's crushed.
I then attach a web to him and stick him to the ceiling, I stand upside down on the ceiling.
Y/N: It's for your own safety, sunshine.
I jump down and land infront of the Rhino.
Y/N: What do you want here, Alexei?
Rhino: You, just you. I'm here to kill you.
Y/N: Yeah, that sounds about right for you.
He then grabs a desk and throws it at me, but I jump up and over it.
I shoot out two webs to two different walls and launch myself at Alexei, but it doesn't work.
Before he can crush me I move out of the way and web up his hands, but he tears right through them.
Rhino: The webs are useless now, Spider.
I jump onto the wall.
Y/N: Man, who the hell broke Rhino out of jail?
Before I could finish my thought I get hit by Rhino and knocked into the office.
Y/N: Well, that hurt.
I stand up then backflip onto the wall behind me.
Y/N: If I can't stop this bruiser, then maybe two feet of concrete can.
Rhino runs at me and at the last second I frontflip over him and he goes through the wall and into the street below.
I turn and shoot out webs to catch him and slow him down, but the webs snap and he crashes into the ground.
(Five minutes later)
I take my fight with Rhino into the city.
As we fight I decide to take Rhino down into the sewers underneath the city.
He attacks me but I dodge his hits and he bursts pipes, which make it hotter for him.
Rhino won't be able to keep going for much longer.
This causes him to eventually pass out from the heat.
I go over and jump on his chest, I then put my hands in the air.
Y/N: Come one, come all! Before your very eyes! The world's largest dehydrated turtle!
I kneel down and see that Alexei is in and out of it.
Rhino: I'm gonna crush you, Spider. Promised the Bigman I would. Crush you, crush you, crush you.
Y/N: Are we losing it a bit, Alexei?
Rhino: Only mama calls me Alexei. You're not my mama! Not my mama, not my mama.
I chuckle.
Y/N: Yes, I think we are.
Rhino starts sobbing.
Rhino: Mama! Do I have to go to school?
I realise that now might be best way to get information on the Bigman.
Y/N: So Alexei. Tell mama. Who's the Bigman?
Rhino: We don't ever use the B word. Call him Mr. Lincoln.
After finding out what I needed to know I come out of the sewers and see Joe show up with other cops.
Joe: Hey, Spidey. You okay?
Y/N: Yeah, I'll live. Rhino is passed out down there. You might a crane to get him out.
Joe: Got it. Well, thanks for stopping him.
Y/N: Look, I'd like to help, but I need to talk to someone about something important.
Joe: It's fine. You go. We'll take it from here.
I nod.
After that I go back to the Bugle to see if Robbie knows anything about this Mr. Lincoln.
(Ten minutes later)
I've just made it back to the Bugle and I see the aftermath if my fight with the Rhino.
I can hear Jamson ranting about Spider-Man and Rhino.
I go over to Robbie and talk to him about Mr. Lincoln.
Y/N: Hey, Robbie.
Robbie: Y/N Drake, as I live and breath.
He and I hug.
Robbie: It's good to see you again, kid.
Y/N: You too, man.
We pull away.
Y/N: Sorry to just drop by like this, but I could use your help.
Robbie: It's no problem. What can I do for you?
Y/N: Well, I was wondering if you knew anything about a Mr. Lincoln?
Robbie: Our Sixteenth president?
Y/N: No, not that Lincoln. This one might also go by the name Bigman.
Robbie: Ah, you must mean L. Thompson Lincoln. Rumours about him have surfaced about a year ago. They said he's some kind of crime-lord. But I checked it out, Lincoln looks a little odd, but he's one of the good guys.
Y/N: Really?
Robbie: Yeah, he's as straight as they come. Hey, if there is a Bigman out there, his name's not Lincoln.
(Three hours later)
After my talk with Robbie, I called up Nat and ask her if any of her old S.H.I.E.L.D contacts can get me an address for L. Thompson Lincoln.
I've just gotten his location and I'm going there now.
Once I get there I swing into the main office and see two goons standing there.
Goon: Spider-Man! Get him.
Y/N: Really? "Spider-Man, get him." That the best you got?
They try to shoot me, but I shoot webs at them and drag them towards me.
I then kick them upwards and I stick them to the ceiling.
After that I do a spin into a backflip and land on the desk that overlooks the city.
There's someone in the chair looking out at the city.
Y/N: I'm here to see Mr. Lincoln.
???: Then you should make an appointment.
He spins around him his chair and I see a man in a suit.
(A/N: Now, I've said this before, but I think Idris Elba would make a good Tombstone. He's my fan cast for a live action Tombstone, though it'd probably never happen.)
???: But perhaps we'll make an exception for the hero of the day. I am L. Thompson Lincoln.
Y/N: Please, you're the Bigman.
He stands up.
I gotta say, he's alot taller than he looks.
???: In my life I've been called many name's. My favourite is Tombstone.
I stand up too.
Y/N: Back off! I just took down the Rhino. Some douchebag in a suit doesn't...
Before I could continue he hits me in the face knocking me back and to the ground.
I spring off my hands and backflip back onto my feet.
Tombstone jumps over his desk and lands infront of me.
I go to punch him, but he catches my hand and uppercuts me in the stomach and this sends me into the air.
He then hits with a right cross and I hit the ground hard.
Before I could get up he pins me to the ground with his foot.
Y/N: You a Super Soldier or something?
He gets closer to me.
Tombstone: Or something. Now, don't move, boy. Just listen and I'll teach you the facts of life.
I try to hit him with a pool ball, but he catches it and crushes it in his hand.
Y/N: Damn.
Tombstone: The Bigman, whomever he might be has nothing against heroes. No hero can fight enough crime to dent his income, but you. You frightened criminals off the streets entirely, except when you're off battling the likes of the Rhino.
He let's me up and goes back to his desk.
Tombstone: Then the Bigman's petty army of thugs think themselves beneath Spider-Man and his team's notice.
I stand back up.
Y/N: So, as long as my team and I keep fighting crime. You keep making bigger and badder...
Tombstone: Now you're starting to get it, but there is a way out.
Lincoln then offers me money and offers me a job, as long as I look the other way on occasion when it comes to crime.
Y/N: I can't ever look the other way. Now, let's finish this.
Tombstone: Ah, if you insist.
He hits a buzzer and two cops come in.
Tombstone: Officers, arrest Spider-Man. He has trespassed on my property, assaulted my employees and threatened my person.
Y/N: Wait, you can't listen to him. He's the bad guy, he's the...
The cops see the two thugs I pinned to the ceiling and point their guns at me.
Cop: Freeze, Spider-Man! You're under arrest!
Y/N: Damn it!
I shoot out a web and attach it to a chair. I throw the chair at the window and swing out of the broken window.
I swing away.
(Thirty minutes later)
I'm now back at the Spider Cave and I've told the other's what happened.
Katie lightly touches the bruise under my eye.
Kate: Are you sure you're okay?
Y/N: Yeah, I'm okay.
Ben: So, you met the Bigman, huh?
Y/N: Yeah. Apparently he goes by the name Tombstone.
Ben shrugs.
Ben: That's better than Bigman.
Tara: So, he's like Kingpin?
Y/N: Kinda. He wants to rule over New York like Kingpin, but everyone sees him as Philathropist trying to help New York.
Harry: And it's all a persona.
Y/N: Yep.
I stand up.
Y/N: Look, I don't know how we're gonna deal with him, but we will.
Harry: There's still Black Cat to deal with too.
Y/N: True. Speaking which...
I look to Katie.
Y/N: Kate, have you and Natasha figured out what's on the drive?
Kate: Nat's still working on it.
Just then her phone goes off.
Kate: Ah, her ears must have been burning. One second.
She goes to take the call.
Y/N: We gotta deal with Felicia first, then Tombstone. Tara, Ben, we're going out into the city to look for her. Harry, you're our eye in the sky from here.
Harry: Okay, got it.
Harry sits in the chair, while Tara and Ben suit up.
I know Felicia is out there and we're gonna find her.
