[Location: Safehouse] [New York City]

  Frank and I were gearing up for the hunt. We are gonna hunt Green Goblin tonight.

  "Aliens, robots as high as the sky, mutants, human experiments... Haaa..." Frank grumbled while gearing up, "Oh, not tet Gods and uer people. Isn't the list getting way too crazy by the time?" He shook his head and started putting the Kevr armor over his shoulders.

  "I knht? They are nuts. Nowhere is safe in this world. You don't even know when an alien ship might crash down on your house and blow a crater. Or when one of those captured supervilins escapes and wreaks havo the city," I said while activating the suit, "Or those gover programs that duct human experiments in some shady research facilities and turn them into some freaky cybs and whatnot. Oh, and the list tinues..."

  "At least you have superpowers," Frank snorted.

  "Hey! You also have enharength and speed thanks to yadgets. You don't give yourself that much credit," I told him while turning around to face him. "And don't fet those high-tech guns capable of blowing out aire neighborhood, if aimed correctly," I added, grinning.

  "Okay, okay," Frank chuckled, "If you put it that way, it doesn't look so bad," and double-checked his guns.

  Frank came a long way from that gruff lotitude to opening up with his thoughts to people. But his killer face while fag those criminal scums? Still as cold as ever. The man's a damn pro. He sure knows how to torture and kill someone in style. He was keeping himself busy, killing those gang members, taking advantage of the chaos I created. For now, those gangs have called a temporary ceasefire thanks to Emma Frost who took over Kingpin. I guess, I'll just have to stir the hor once more.

  "Ready?" I asked him after a long pause.

  "Yeah. Let's do this," Frank nodded and strapped his gun to the thigh holster, and put his two bat knives behind the holsters near his knees. He checked the wrist watch which I had figured to show his on charges and armor dition. It's like a mini hud but with just those few importaails.

  We ehe garage.

  "What's that?" I poioward the old rusted sedan that was sitting in the garage.

  "Our ride," Frank grinned as he went into the driver's seat and turned on the engine.

  "Really, man? What about those cool spots cars and those brand new SUVs we swiped from that drug cartel's warehouse? We could just choose any car we wanted a, iece of junk that is rusting by the sed?" I told him as I frowned.

  "Because there's no fun if someoices you riding a nice car in such a fucked up neighborhood. And we are going inito. We won't have to worry about cops stopping us at the checkpoint and uhe rust, I've added some parts. From the outside, yeah, it a trash, but uhe hood, that's a different story," he stated proudly.

  "Why do I feel like you are taking revenge for making you explode your mini-van?" I took the side seat as Frank started driving out.

  "I couldn't possibly hate you because of that. Even though I spent months w on that van and upgraded it to the max, and that it's been with me for years and you happeo have me explode it on our very first mission... Nope. I five you for that, Spider-Man," Frank smirked while driving.

  "Yeah, right," I rolled my eyes behind the mask.

  We drove out of the underground parking lot a out onto the streets.

  "Alright, let's go hunting," Frank accelerated as we sped out onto the highway.

  I activated the tracker on the mini pad and located the green goblin signal.

  "Where's the freak?" Frank asked me as he drove.

  "He's heading north toward Manhattan Bridge. Just keep driving straight ahead," I said as I zoomed into the map.

  "Got it."

  After half an hour of driving, we arrived at the bridge. It was nighttime so there weren't many cars on the road. We stopped the car at a nearby gas station and waited for him to show up. He is nearby acc to the tracker.

  A couple of mier, a flying weird green hoverboard thing passed by us above the bridge.

  "That must be him," Frank ented as he watched the figure fly past us.

  "Yup! Norman aka Green Goblin," I replied while trag the board as it flew further away from us. "Let's see where's he headi.

  Frank started the car as we followed the figure. I kept trag Green Goblin's movements, making sure we stayed a safe distance behind him.

  "He's heading towards Midtown," I informed Frank who kept driving, "Looks like he's not in a hurry. Probably up to something."

  Frank nodded, his grip firm oeering wheel. "We'll stick with him. Let's see what he's pnning."

  As we followed Green Goblin, I noticed that he was slowing down as he approached a street full of buildings. I zoomed into the mini pad and saw that it was a shopping mall.

  "A shopping mall?!" Frank stopped the car around the er from the mall entrance. "What does he want to steal in a shopping mall?" He looked fused as he stared out the window.

  "He is stealing food and other supplies, duh!" I pointed out.

  "Right... Even he needs food and supplies to survive, huh?" Frank scratched his . "Anyway, let's go inside and stop him before he causes trouble."

  "And blow up the entire mall in the process? Nope. Let's wait and follow him back to his hideout. Then we attack him and blow up his ir instead," I suggested.

  Frank thought about it for a moment. "You got a point. Let's do that."

  As Frank and I waited in the car, keeping a close eye orance of the shopping mall, Green Goblin emerged after a while, carrying a rge bag filled with stolen goods. He hopped onto his hoverboard and flew off into the night. Frank quickly started the car and chased after him.

  We followed him through the streets of Midtown. The road was almost empty and we were keeping our eyes peeled for any sudden moves from the freak. Green Gobliually led us to an old abandoned warehouse oskirts of the city. There appeared to be nothing else around it except for some dipidated buildings and abandoned factories.

  "This looks like a perfect pce to hide out," Frank parked the car far enough so Green Goblin wouldn't notice us.

  "Alright, time for some re," I took out my spider bots and drones from the back of the car and prepared them for deployment. "Here goes nothing!" I released the spiders and drones into the air. The little things scattered across the area, scouting the area for traps.

  I trolled the spider bots while Frank took over the drones. We sed every inch of the warehouse and surrounding areas. Soon, we discovered several booby traps hidden around the perimeter of the warehouse. Some of them were simple tripwires while others included explosives or poison gas bombs.

  "Damn! Just how many traps did this guy install here?" I mumbled as I began to disable each trap individually using the spider bots. "Good thing he didn't use motion sensors otherwise I would have triggered all of these traps already."

  Frank flew the drones over and around the building, "Multiple turrets and ser beams. Military-grade locks. Wait! That's too much explosives... This guy is really paranoid."

  "No shit! Look at all those crates of ons lying around the warehouse," I zoomed into the drone feed, "There's enough firepower io level down a small army."

  Frank whistled in amazement.

  "You are thinking what I am thinking?" I asked Frank.

  "Take half as always and blow up the rest?" Frank answered without looking at me.

  "Yep!" I nodded vigorously.

  We tinued dismantling every trap Green Goblin had installed around the warehouse until only one remained.

  "This one is going to be difficult," I checked the infrared ser readings. "It appears to be some sort of pressure pte ected to a bomb underh the grouh this spot. A little trip, we'll trigger the explosion and everything else will follow suit. But the problem is the hollow spader this pressure pte. If we try to remove it without knowily what kind of meism he used then it might set off the whole thing off."

  Frank scratched his thoughtfully. "Hmmm.... He's hiding something in there if he has gohat far to protect it."

  I pondered upon Frank's words. "True. Guess, I'll go in and check it out." I looked toward the s, "Look at that bastard. Chugging d eating steak like there's no tomorrow."

  "Wait!" Frank stopped me as I was about to go out. "Look here, closely." He zoomed into the building.

  "Motion sensor?! A new version of motion sensors?" I excimed as I saw multiple circur objects pced on all the floors. At first ghey appeared to be mines but upon closer iion, I realized that they were actually motion sensors. They were emitting sound waves in a straight stream and are ected to each other via that sound wave frequency. Origgered, all of these motion sensors will create a rea causing them to explode simultaneously destroying everything within their range.

  Frank sighed deeply. "You have to be careful on this one."

  "Don't worry. You just keep an eye on him. And snipe him in case I fail," I patted Frank's shoulder.

  "Roger that," Frank aowledged and readied his sniper rifle.

  I left the car and sneaked up towards the warehouse.
