MJ glanced around the lobby, her eyes searching for any signs of trouble.
And what she found only confused her. A barefoot man in monk's robes and a group of beaten guards alongside a woman with tear-stained make-up.
Yet none of these people answered her question.
She approached the front desk, with Lily following closely behind her, where a few employees whispered to each other, including the receptionist who called the police in the first place."What's the emergency? We heard there was an fight." MJ inquired, wondering what was going on.
Just as the question escaped her lips, the elevator doors slid open, revealing a man slightly older than Joy and Danny.
Ward Meachum, the CEO of Rand Enterprises, his face etched with a mix of urgency and determination.
In a swift motion, MJ turned her attention toward Ward, her gaze narrowing.
She instinctively positioned herself between him and the Monk-looking man, feeling the bloodthirsty anger Ward was sending the oddly dressed mans way.
"Are you in charge here?" MJ asked, her voice laced with suspicion.
Instantly, Ward's anger disappeared as he smiled charmingly at the two female heroes. "Yes, I'm the CEO of Rand Enterprises. Ward Meachum. Thank you for coming." He says as if he were the one who called.
"Okay, what's going on?" MJ asks as Lily glances back at the monk behind them.
Ward's eyes darted around the lobby, the remnants of adrenaline coursing through his veins.
He knew the truth about Danny Rand, having witnessed the events from his office through the surveillance cameras.
Luckily, his guards alerted him to a disturbance in the lobby so he decided to take a look out of curiosity and thankfully he did.
Or else he wouldn't know about the major sh*t storm that appeared on his doorstep.
Although he wasn't there when Danny kissed his sister, nor was he told about it, he certainly remembered them sneaking off to the park all those years ago.
The speech convinced him that Danny was, in fact, the long-lost heir to Rand Enterprises, a threat to the empire he and his family had carefully built.
But Ward was not one to shy away from a challenge. Determined to protect his family's legacy, he had no intention of letting Danny regain control.
With a deep breath, Ward locked eyes with MJ, his voice dripping with a mixture of concern and deceit. "There's been an altercation, a misunderstanding. But don't worry, everything's under control."
As he spoke, Ward sent a knowing look toward his sister, telling her to keep her mouth shut with a single glance.
MJ's brow furrowed, skeptical of everything coming out of his mouth.
She took a step closer to Ward, her instincts not allowing her to let the situation slide. "Misunderstanding or not, we're here to help. You need to tell us what happened."
Ward's mind raced as he tried to think of a plausible explanation.
He couldn't let the Avengers interfere. Or else Danny's chances of taking back the company could skyrocket.
"I appreciate your concern, but trust me when I say it's best if you just leave." Ward responded, gesturing behind her. "The police have arrived, and they'll handle it from here."
Just as Ward's words hung in the air, the sound of approaching sirens filled the lobby, growing louder with each passing second.
The police were closing in, ready to restore order. And they would certainly take his side in the situation.
After all, his family owns the building, so they would have to throw any trespassers out. And if said trespasser were to disappear soon after, then wouldn't that just be tragic?
Lily exchanged a knowing glance with her mother, a silent agreement passing between them. They were feeling nothing but bad vibes from this guy since the beginning they arrived.
With a determined nod, MJ looked back at Ward. "We won't leave until we know everything is resolved. We're here to help, whether you like it or not."
Before Ward could respond, the lobby doors swung open, and a few police officers rushed in, hands placed on their holstered pistols.
"What seems to be the-" The leading officers spoke, though he froze as soon as he laid eyes on Silk and her short unknown partner. "Silk?!"
He and the other officers stared in shock.
"Ahem..." The Officer cleared his throat. "Ma'am, we can handle the situation from here." He spoke respectfully.
He, like almost every police officer in New York, held a great amount of respect for the heroes that patrolled the city alongside them.
But this was a normal disturbance/assault call. Nothing that they couldn't handle themselves.
"Hmm..." MJ hummed as she turned to eye Danny, who stood near her, both confused and quiet. "Alright, we'll go."
"But..." Lily spoke up, as she didn't expect her mother to fold so easily.
"It's alright." MJ reassured her daughter as she turned to Danny. "Come on, you're being detained for questioning."
"?" Danny looked at her in shock before turning to the police, wondering if they'd allow some masked woman to kidnap him.
"Sorry, Mr. Monk." An Officer answered his silent questioning. "But Avengers business is above our pay grade. I advise that you go along quietly and cooperate as much as you can."
"Wait!" Ward exclaimed. "That man assaulted my security staff. We'll be pressing charges." He said, hoping to give the police a reason to interfere.
"Eh..." The officers glanced at one another, shrugging at what little power they held in situations involving the Avengers. "I'm sorry, sir. But you'll have to wait until the Avengers are done with him." One said with a shake of his head.
"!" Ward stood there fuming, unable to get what he wanted.
"You know, Ward." Danny spoke up for the first time since the mother-daughter duo arrived. "I hated you as a kid, but I might hate you even more now."
Ward glared. "I don't know who you think you are, or who you think I am, but we certainly don't know each other." He said, hoping to plant a seed of doubt.
"..." Joy remained silent, unsure of which side to take, her brothers or the boy she once loved as a child.
"Come on!" Lily turned to Danny, smiling under her mask. "We'll find you some shoes and a change of clothes." She offered, thinking he was probably homeless and in need.
Which technically he was.
Danny stood in contemplation for a moment before nodding his head. "...sure." He agreed and followed them out.
He did what he came to do. Reveal that he was alive to the people that mattered.
Of course, Ward wasn't on that list, especially after the stunt he just pulled.
But before he stepped out of the door, Danny turned to Joy and smiled. "I'll visit again soon, okay?" He said as he was pulled out of the door by an over-excited Spider-Girl.
"Let's go!" She yelled. "You can flirt later..."
——————————————
The dimly lit interior of Sister Margaret's School for Wayward Children was buzzing with activity as mercenaries and misfits from all walks of life gathered to drown their sorrows or celebrate their latest victories.
After their little conversation with Kingpin, Wade roped Peter into having a drink together.
Peter sat at the bar, nursing a glass of whisky, which he drank through his mask, while Wade downed shot after shot of tequila.
In front of them, Weasel leaned against the counter, wiping down a glass with a grim expression on his face. "You know, Wade, I've seen you f*ck with some sketchy dudes like that time you killed that Irish guy's mother-"
"Hey! She was shooting at me with an AK-47." Wade defends himself.
"Well, he was the leader of the IRA..." Weasel revealed. "But pissing off the Kingpin? That might be worse..."
Wade chuckled, raising his shot glass in a mock salute. "Hey, I like to keep things interesting. Besides, ol' Kingpin's been begging to get his sh*t kicked in for years now. I'm just giving the people what they want."
Weasel's eyes widened, and he leaned in closer. "You do realize who you're dealing with, right? Kingpin may not have superpowers, but he's got money, resources, and an army of loyal goons. And most of all, you don't even know who or where he is."
Wade smirked excitedly. "That's what makes it fun... I live for the danger, the thrill of the kill, that high pitch sound every guy makes when you shoot his c*ck and balls off. You know, the finer things in life. And besides, I've got Spidey here to watch my back, don't I?"
Peter raised an eyebrow, glancing up from his whiskey. "Sure, but I won't always be available. I'm probably the busiest Avenger you'll meet, but you can ask other members for help as well. I can assign you and whoever you want into a team. As long as they agree, of course... Daredevil might be interested in taking on Kingpin..."
Weasel looked at Wade in shock. "Wait! Are you an Avenger?" He asked scandalously.
But before Wade could answer, Peter's ghost phone buzzed on the bar counter.
He picked it up and glanced at the screen. "It's Silk," he muttered.
Wade leaned in, his curiosity piqued. "What's that sexy woman of yours want?"
"Wait... Spider-Man and Silk are dating?" Weasel asks incredulously.
Ignoring him, Peter read over the message. "Nothing that you two have to worry about..." He said as he stashed his phone away, finished off his drink, and stood to his feet.
Wade whined like a child as soon as he saw this. "Come on... You're leaving already?"
"Yeah, bye!" Peter called out as he paced out of the bar.
"The p*ssy calls and you just go running, don't you?!" Wade yelled as he left.
And seconds after those words left Wade's mouth, a portal opened up under his stool.
"Huh?!" He grunted in surprise as he fell through and landed in the dumpster out back. "F*ck you too!" He yelled, hoping Peter could still hear him.
