Chapter XXII: Lightning

July 9 2023

Montana managed to make it back to the safe house as he saw Anne along with Ox and Fancy Dan carrying some boxes as they noticed him standing as they spoke to him.

Anne: Did you take him down?

Montana: I failed to beat him and now my suit is damaged.

Anne: It's okay, We'll get him next time.

Ox: But We can find him and-

Anne: I said We'll deal with him later. We anyways have the Diox 3. All I need to do is enhance the serum.

Fancy Dan: After that?

Anne: We will begin making our criminal empire and take over all of New York.

Montana: Good plan boss.

Anne: Also I will give you three some upgrades to help you take down the arachnid.

Montana: Okay then.

Anne: I'm gonna takeover the underworld and no one is going to stop me. I'm the authority around here!

The Enforcers smiled at her as Anne looked at the pictures on the wall which showed Tombstone, Fisk and Spider Man as she smiled at the pictures and began working on something.

Meanwhile Desmond was standing by the mall as he was fixing his hair and looked around. Tay and Anna are coming to the mall and he was waiting for them. He was also tired from his fight against Shocker and was thinking about everyone's next moves but unknown to him, Someone was watching Desmond.

The Cloaked Man continued watching Desmond who was on his phone as he smiled at him until he noticed two people walking towards Desmond as he saw who it was.

The cloaked man was looking at Anna and Tay as they were talking to Desmond as they entered the mall as he began following them.

Tay: It's so good to see you Desmond.

Anna: How are you?

Desmond: I'm doing alright. What about you two?

Tay: We're fine!

Anna: Same here.

Desmond: That's good to hear.

Tay and Anna smiled at him as they continued walking through the mall but unknown to them, The cloaked man was following them as the trio were talking to each other.

Tay: Hey Desmond, Are you dating anyone?

Desmond: No, I'm not dating anyone.

Anna: Hope you find the right one Desmond.

Desmond: Yeah. . . . .

Tay noticed the expression on Desmond's face as he was sad about something. The cloaked man also noticed the expression as he continued watching them.

Tay: Is everything alright?

Desmond: Yeah everything is fine.

Anna: You looked sad when I said I hope you find the right one. What's the matter?

Desmond: It's nothing, Don't worry about it.

The cloaked man looked at them as he said something to himself.

Cloaked Man: He misses Gionna.

Tay: If something is bothering you, You can talk to us.

Anna: We're here for you.

Desmond: Like I said it's nothing.

Tay and Anna were worried about Desmond as he fixed his hair and began walking as they were following him. The cloaked man smiled at them as he continued following the trio.

Tay and Anna were buying some items from a shop as Desmond was looking at them. Suddenly he noticed the cloaked man staring at him as he smiled at him before He began running towards him as Tay and Anna looked confused and began following him.

Desmond began looking around and noticed the cloaked man was gone as he was confused and continued looking around until Tay and Anna spoke to him.

Tay: What happened to you?

Anna: Is everything alright?

Desmond didn't answer them and continued looking around as Tay and Anna heard Desmond say something to himself but they couldn't hear what he said as he looked at them.

Desmond: Sorry, I thought I saw someone.

Tay: You look like you seen a ghost.

Anna: What did you saw?

Desmond: A man in a cloak but he looked familiar.

Tay and Anna looked at him as Desmond sighed to himself and fixed his hair and spoke to them.

Desmond: Must be my imagination. I'm sorry for worrying you two.

Tay: It's fine, Dont worry about it.

Desmond was silent as he continued walking as Anna and Tay were following them. The Cloaked Man was watching them from a far distance as he said something to himself.

Cloaked Man: Desmond, I'm gonna be your worst nightmare.

Meanwhile Ethan returned back from work as he entered the house and noticed Gionna sitting in the couch as he was gonna speak to her until Gionna stopped him.

Gionna: Where have you been?

Ethan: I was at work and-

Gionna: Ethan! First of all, You need to stop lying to me. I know your gambling and I need you to stop.

Ethan: But-

Gionna: No Buts Ethan! I want to know one last thing, Are you getting into anything dangerous?

Ethan: Gionna, I'm fine.

Gionna: Don't lie to me! Tell me the truth!

Ethan: Gionna, Everything is alright.

Gionna was silent as Ethan looked at her and spoke to her.

Ethan: I'm sorry Gionna and you are right, I won't gamble again.

Gionna stared at Ethan as he looked at her until she sighed to herself and spoke to him.

Gionna: It's okay. . . .

Ethan: I'm really sorry Gionna.

Gionna nodded as she hugged Ethan as he hugged her back but she kept thinking about Desmond as she was sad.

She didn't know what happened to Desmond and how he is. She missed him so much but she also hated him for what happened two years ago.

Meanwhile Fisk was at his office working on something until Wesley entered the office as he looked at him.

Wesley: Goblin's men took over one of the construction sites.

Fisk: That Maniac, Any leads on the Goblin?

Wesley: The Goblin Tech belonged to Magnus Corporation.

Fisk: I have this doubt that Magnus is involved in this.

Wesley: I say the same thing sir.

Fisk: Keep an eye on Magnus, Let me know whenever you find something.

Wesley: Will do.

Meanwhile Tombstone was at his office as he was angry about Anne attacking one of his warehouses and stealing the Diox 3. The Goblin also attacked one of his warehouses which had weapons as he said something to himself.

Lincoln: I will win this war.

Meanwhile Dave Crawford was at his home looking through some files from Erikson Corporation as he said something to himself.

Dave: I will expose you Magnus. I will destroy you.

He saw a lot of Oscorp Tech on the files as he thought about collecting more data so that he will begin his plan soon.

Meanwhile Tay along with Anna and Desmond were walking back home as Tay spoke to him.

Tay: Hey Desmond, After a few days I'm gonna be having a costume party at my house and I was wondering if you can come there?

Desmond: I'll see about that.

Anna: Awesome, See you Desmond!

Tay and Anna said bye to him as they went inside their home as Desmond walked away but unknown to him, The cloaked man was watching him as he smiled at him and left the scene.
