HELLFIRE CLUB PT2- Infiltration

[3rd person POV]

The front of the Hellfire Club is a stripper joint, appropriately titled The Doll-house, complete with neon-lit signs flashing images of female dancers on a sign that resembles an actual house with its shutters raised. As is typical with the X-Men's many villains and those who consider themselves their allies, there is a whole other world hidden just beneath the surface. Behind this seemingly innocuous nightclub are actually several underground floors packed with a variety of laboratories, living quarters, a full-blown computer room, holding cells for prisoners, and much, much more. There was quite a lot of stuff to gather but first, it's the Hellfire Club security protocols. It should have their meeting and planning locations. Maybe even something interesting.

Spiderman webbed his backpack on the roof of a nearby building. Then he scouted around, found a ventilation shaft in the far back, jumped on it, and pulled himself inside, trying his best not to make noise as he moved. The dust and webs were all over the shaft, which was a bit suffocating, but he continued moving forward. It was dark, but he could see well through the pitch-blackness, making it easier for him to move without any problem. After a few minutes, he came close enough to the other end of the ventilation shaft.

He peeked through the grills and watched as a couple of workers continued their daily chores without noticing his presence, even when they were literally less than a few meters away. It was a storage area, filled with stacks of boxes upon boxes that probably contained food supplies for the organization and, just a few steps ahead, two of them, casually talking.

"Ya hear about the news?" asked one of the workers as he was rearranging the boxes on the far right, near a fuse box, "Word is Spidey killed the Ice Jane, last night. The boss put her in charge of the assassination and she got herself killed by an insect."

"Spidey doesn't kill," said the other worker, pushing another set of boxes on a forklift and transporting it to the side, "The best he does is beat up the thugs and break a few bones. You sure she died at Spidey's hand?"

"How would I know? I'm just telling you what I heard when I went to clean the garbage in Boss's room. Kingpin is angry as hell, I tell ya," He pushed a crate before a nearby small elevator, and pressed the button.

'Fuck! Kingpin is the boss of Hellfire Club. What about Emma Frost? Don't tell me she's working as a stripper or she could be with the X-Men. Well, I'll know soon enough,' Spiderman thought as he slowly opened the vent and webbed onto the ceiling. He then crawled over to the guy who was waiting before the elevator, and looked down, 'Well, if he can go in and out of Kingpin's office, I might just well ask him for a tiny favor.'

Spiderman looked around for any cameras, but luckily the only surveillance equipment seemed to be the small glass domes with a camera pointed near the entrance. Then he looked at the other guy who was busy working. The elevator arrived at their level. It's the perfect moment... He softly jumped down from the ceiling behind the guy near the elevator and followed him inside as he pulled the cargo in.

As soon as the door closed, Spiderman webbed the guy to the elevator wall and webbed his mouth shut. Then he pressed the stop button and started asking his questions, "Look, this is going to be quick and painless, alright? Where's the security room? Not the outer one, the main room where all the controls are?"

"UGH! Nnnng!" The guy's answer was muffled by the webbing covering his lips.

Spiderman removed the web from his mouth.

"I don't know anything," the worker gasped out, "Let me go, goddammit. You think the club will stand idly while you sneak into their base? Do you even know who you are messing with?"

"Do you?" Spiderman simply raised an eyebrow under his mask as he watched the worker looking at him.

"C-come on man! Let's talk about this. I've always admired you. I-I can help you get what you need," The guy laughed, "You didn't really kill the Ice-Queen, did you? Please, just- Just let me go. I'm begging ya!"

"Oh, come on. For someone with access to the boss's room, you are telling me you don't know the main security hub? Really, now? Don't make me hurt you," Spiderman replied as his eyes went toward the guy's hand, "Humm... Is that your wedding ring?"

"Yeah. Man, look. I got a family alright. Boss will kill me if I open my mouth," the worker begged.

"If you don't open your mouth, I'll kill you. Then what would happen to your wife? Ah! What would happen to your daughter after your death?" Spiderman threatened as his eyes fell on the small Barbie neckless around the worker's neck. It screams of a little girl, maybe six or seven. "Look, you tell me what I want to know, and no one will find out it was you who gave me the info. You can just continue to work as if nothing happened. So, for the sake of your wife and daughter, do tell me the location of the main security hub and Kingpin's room."

"Alright, alright! The security hub is on the lowest floor. The elevator doesn't go there because only a special card can open its way. And even if you somehow reach the lowest floor, there are armed guards..." The worker quickly answered.

"How many are we talking about? Give me an approx. number," Spiderman asked.

"Uhm... More than 30, I guess? Like I said, I don't really have anything to do with security. My job is to make sure that the upper and lower floors are maintained with daily necessities," the guy quickly answered. "As for Kingpin's room, it's on the top floor, with more security than the main hub. I swear, man, that's all I know."

"Come on, now. There can't possibly be only one way to get down, so, spill out the location of the second one," Spiderman whispered. "And don't lie to me because I'll know right away, believe me."

"Right. Well, there's a stairway going to the floor down," The worker nervously said. "But there are laser triggers, so if you were thinking about going to the main hub on foot, you'll have to be careful. The moment you trip one, it will activate the automatic turrets and alert the entire base. The only way to deactivate them is at the lowest level. You can't do anything about that from up here."

"Thanks. Now, if you want to see your family, slip out of the backdoor, or just work at the main front where you should be able to easily escape, well, in case, things go south," Spiderman advised as he pressed the resume button and tore apart the web, releasing the worker.

"Of course, yeah. You bet," The worker replied nervously.

[Tingle!!] Spiderman's senses tingled. The worker he just released, his fist is right around his neck. A pointy needle on his wedding ring. A punch! Spiderman grabbed the worker's wrist and crushed it with his right hand. Before the worker could scream, he webbed his mouth with his left hand. Then he twisted the broken arm and pierced the worker's neck with his own needle ring.

"You just had to do it, huh? I tried being reasonable with you, and you... Seesh! How very unoriginal, pal," Spiderman complained as he pulled out the ring with the needle attached, the guy was already down, unconscious. "I know there are some loyal people working for Kingpin, either out of fear or respect... I wonder, which category you fall into. Guess we'll never know, now."

He opened one of the boxes, 'Alright, big enough to hide this fucker.' He broke the worker's limbs and squeezed him inside the box, before locking the crate. He then opened the small hatch on the top of the elevator and jumped up.

'Don't know if I can trust this guy's info. Well, only one way to find out...'

After a few seconds, the elevator came to a stop.

Spiderman decided to crawl down the elevator path. Since he doesn't have a special card, and the stairway is supposed to be riddled with traps, the best route is to just crawl down to the lowest level. Eventually, the path will lead him to Kingpin's main security hub.

'Ok, what if I jump and webbed to the wall just before reaching the bottom? I've to time it perfect... Well, here goes nothing' Spiderman, thought as he jumped. He could see the bottom floor after falling for a few seconds. "Humff!" He quickly webbed to the wall and sighed in relief. He took a deep breath and continued moving down. 'Alright, the bottom floor.' His eyes fell on a small ventilation grill on the wall on his left. 'Bingo! It feels like a game level... Haha... All these ventilation shafts appear whenever I need to sneak past... Just great. Well, better move before anyone finds that guy's body.'
