Chapter XIV: Enemy
June 28 2023
Desmond was at F.E.A.S.T helping Miles and Harry as he was still upset over what happened at Coney Island. He couldn't stop Anne from stealing the power pack and he couldn't stop the heist that was happening while he was fighting Anne. Desmond also met Gionna and her friends as he was still thinking about it.
Desmond began remembering all the times he had spent with Gionna as he sighed to himself. He remembered the first time he met her. He was still walking through the streets until Gionna dragged him to a convenience store and lied to Mrs. Chen that he was her boyfriend and even made her pay for her items. Desmond smiled to himself remembering that memory.
However His Smile faded away when he remembered what happened in the airport as he remembered the look on her face when he told her that he didn't love her, He closed his eyes in anger until someone touched his shoulder as he turned around and saw Harry looking at him.
Harry: You alright man?
Desmond: I'm fine Harry, I'm just tired but I'm alright.
Harry: You should take care of yourself. You look like you haven't slept well.
Desmond opened his phone's camera as he looked at himself, He had dark circles on his eyes and he looked dull and tired.
Desmond: Yeah I'll try resting up after I'm done.
Harry: Don't overwork yourself man, Its not healthy.
Desmond: Right.
Harry smiled to him as both of them carried some boxes and walked towards the kitchen as they saw Miles unpacking some of the things and placing them on the table.
Desmond: You need any help?
Miles: I got this, Don't worry about it.
They nodded as they continued carrying the boxes towards the kitchen as they began talking to each other.
Harry: So is anyone in a relationship?
Miles: Not me, What about you Harry?
Harry: I'm not in a relationship too.
Miles: I see, Desmond?
Desmond: I'm not dating anyone.
Harry: Then We should start a club then.
Miles: *Laughs* Your right about that.
Desmond was silent as they continued talking until Miles said something to Harry.
Miles: So Have you heard about what happened a few days ago?
Desmond: What?
Miles: Magnus Erikson brought Oscorp. What do you think Harry?
Harry: I honestly don't have any interest with Oscorp.
Desmond: Wait Someone brought Oscorp?
Miles: Yeah and The Grand Reopening is next week.
Harry: Well I'll let Magnus do whatever he wants with that company. I have no interest with them as long as they stay away from my Mom's research stations.
Desmond: Research Stations?
Harry: Before Mom passed away, She set up a couple of research stations around New York for environmental checkups, security and many more. After she passed away, I started taking care of those research stations.
Miles: That's nice Harry.
Harry: Yeah, You know a few years ago after my dad died, Oscorp Board Of Directors wanted me to take over as the next CEO of this company, I however declined that offer.
Desmond: I understand your decision Harry.
Harry: Thank you, Its just after everything my dad has done. Nobody will trust this company anymore, That's why I stayed away from that company for years and focused more work on F.E.A.S.T.
Miles: I'm sorry to hear Harry.
Harry: Its okay, You know I should looking back at the past and focus on making a better future for not just for myself but for everyone else.
After hearing Harry say all that, Desmond was thinking about it. He was right about one thing, Everyone will need to move on from their past and build a better future for themselves. So many questions begin to surround him,
Should he just move on and let Gionna be happy?
Miles noticed Desmond was thinking about something as he snapped his fingers as he looked at him.
Miles: What's the matter bro?
Desmond: Its nothing honestly, You know Harry your right about what you said.
Harry: Thank you Desmond, You know your an awesome guy and I'm glad I've met you.
Desmond: You too Harry.
Miles: Hey! What about me?
Harry: Including you Miles *Laughs* In all seriousness, I'm glad I met you two.
Desmond and Miles smiled at him as they all took three cans of soda and began drinking as they decided to continue their work.
Meanwhile Magnus was at the bioengineering room as he was talking to some scientist until his assistant spoke to him.
Assistant: Sir, Ethan just gave us more money for our work.
Magnus: That's good to hear.
Assistant: I have a question sir, Why are we forming a partnership with Ethan anyways?
Magnus: You know what I've been observing for the last few days?
Assistant: Is it the gang war?
Magnus: Exactly. Anne, Fisk and Tombstone are in my way and I'm planning on getting rid of them. The Underworld needs someone better then them.
Assistant: Oh. . . I see.
Magnus: And If your gonna ask, What about Spider Man? He won't be a problem at all.
Assistant: Oh Okay then. What about Harry?
Magnus: Harry doesn't care about Oscorp. He only cares about the research stations. He wont get involved in our work.
Assistant: And Ethan?
Magnus: He will be out of our way soon.
The Assistant nodded as Magnus smiled at him as he looked at the scientists working on something as he fixed his hair and continued watching them.
Meanwhile Gionna and her friends went back to their home as they were exhausted and tired. Gionna sat down on the couch as the others went to freshen themselves up as Ethan spoke to Gionna.
Ethan: What's the matter?
Gionna: When I was helping Spider Man, I felt something strange about him.
Ethan: What is it?
Gionna: It's like. . . . I know him and I wanted to protect him.
Ethan was confused by what Gionna said as she continued looking at the ground.
Ethan: You should rest up.
Gionna: I will.
Ethan left to freshen himself as Gionna looked at the ground and continued thinking about it.
Meanwhile in Auction house shows someone stealing a diamond as she smiled to herself and grappled back to the rooftop as she smiled at the diamond.
Felicia: Hello Beautiful.
Black Cat saw a train passing by as she grappled towards it and got on the top of the train as she smiled to herself and looked at the city.
She eventually made it to her penthouse as she saw her cats on the balcony as she smiled at them.
Felicia: Don't worry, I'm back.
She entered her penthouse and placed the diamond on the table as she checked on the cats until she heard a voice.
Unknown: Nice Place.
Felicia immediately turned around as she saw who it was.
Cloaked Man: Hey Kitty.
Felicia: Who are you and what are you doing here?
Cloaked Man: Well I need you to help me with something.
Felicia: And What is that?
Cloaked Man: Kill Desmond Ketch.
Felicia: Who is that?
Cloaked Man: Don't play dumb, You already know who he is.
Felicia: I don't even know who he is.
Cloaked Man: He is someone that is putting his life on the line.
Felicia was confused by what he was saying until her eyes were widen when she realized who he was.
Felicia: Desmond is Spider man?
Cloaked Man: We have a winner! Hahahahahaha.
Felicia: I'm not interested in helping you.
Cloaked Man: I had a feeling you will decline.
Felicia threw a smoke bomb as the cloaked Man noticed Felicia was gone as he said something to himself.
Cloaked Man: You can't hide Kitty! I will eventually find you.
The Cloaked Man continued looking around as he was throwing objects around the penthouse until....
The Cloaked Man was trying to sense the danger until....
The Cloaked Man was in pain as he saw Felicia with a gun as she smiled at him.
Felicia: That's gonna hurt.
Cloaked Man: You are gonna regret this.
The Cloaked Man threw a sofa at her but she dodged it as Felicia tried to hit a swing kick at her but the cloaked man also hit her too.
The Cloaked Man threw a chandelier at Felicia as she fell down on the ground as she was in pain until the cloaked man surprised her with a...
Felicia hit the wall as she was in pain until the cloaked man used another move on her.
Felicia couldn't get up as the cloaked man was smiling at her as she tried to get up but...
Cloaked Man: You know I had a feeling you care about him and I understand that.
Felicia: Why do you hate him?
Cloaked Man: Oh You don't want to know.
Felicia: I'm not gonna help you.
Cloaked Man: You will one way or another. I'm gonna Unmask the truth about Desmond Ketch.
Felicia: What are you talking about?
Cloaked Man: I'm gonna show the world who he really is. Desmond Ketch, A Liar and a traitor and you are gonna help me.
Felicia's eyes were widen as The Cloaked Man let out a sinister laugh as lightning began to flash.
