Incoming Hunt

As both of us meet up with Black Cat and Ironfist, we started helping out the firemen and police officers with the clean up of the damage properties due to the fight with Abomination. After dealing with their matters Daredevil, Powerman, Colleen and Spiderman soon arrived to help us out with the clean up.

The Defenders action in helping with the clean up help give us a good public relationship to the people in New York as we lift rubble out of the way and ensure the safety of the surrounding buildings.

As I was lifting a huge debris, I suddenly had an idea of a new business "Oracle, I need you and Bernard to help establish a construction and demolition company that is specializes in repairing the property damage caused by conflicts between superheroes and super villains".

"Sure no problem. I will inform Bernard to help start it up, what do you want to name your new company as?" Oracle asked.

After thinking for awhile I replied "Lets call it 'Stan Damage Control', what do you think?".

"Not sure what is your obsession with the name Stan but I think it seems to be okay. By the way the peoples that is tracking you this few weeks are back again. It does not seem that they are planning to approach you yet. I think they are more interested to find out your real identity and our base, Nightwing" Oracle informed as she displayed the location of the peoples that is tracking me on my mask's HUD (head-up display).

"Since they want to track me, lets purposely make it difficult for them again" I smiled to myself "So what is your result of your surveillance on them?" I asked Oracle.

Proudly Oracle informed me "They are called SHIELD. I have determine their current location base in New York, they put a lot of effort to hide their tracks but nothing can stop me. The two person that is tracking us now is call Coulson and Fitz, they are planning to use drone to track you this time".

Oracle continued "Their hacker Daisy is good, so I had to be very careful to avoid her detection. They have May and Simmons put up a surveillance on Captain George Stacy. They have pulled out Romanoff from tracking you for another mission and they will be replacing her with someone call Ward. I only got got their name based on their communication, give me some time and I will be able to get all their personal information".

The name Daisy surprised me, looks like the she join SHIELD much earlier than expected. I am impressed they bring in a lot of effort to track me and find out my identity.

"No need Oracle. After I meet with Charles Xavier to help determine my mutation, I have to set some time to meet up with the SHIELD agents face to face. Lets see what they want" I replied as I wonder how I could use this to pull off a prank on Ironman.

"Bernard also want me to inform you that there is a new source of energy research that might interest you in the company, he want to know whether we should sponsor the research" Oracle informed me.

Hearing this I got a bad feeling, I asked "What is the name of the researcher?".

Oracle replied "His name is Otto Octavius, he is the current leading nuclear scientist and he want Stan Enterprise to funds his fusion power research to create a new source of energy".

Hearing his name, I decided to make countermeasures and make use of his research so that it can bring advantage of the company.

30 minutes later

"Damn it! He vanish without a trace again! We even use drone to track him" Agent Coulson cursed to himself.

From Agent Coulson's earpiece, Daisy Johnson at home base said "Wow, he is amazing! The video image of how he move is like a performance art. The way he fight that monster makes me so nervous. Hope that girl is not his girlfriend, anyone that can put their hand ....." with Agent Coulson interrupting her "Daisy, stop! Not on this channel".

Fitz complained "I don't understand! I use heat signature and infra red but I can't find him. Is he a mutant?".

"It is okay, Fitz. Don't worry we will get him soon. He will surely make a mistake!" Agent Coulson reassured him.

"Looks like we have to focus on the other members of Defenders and Captain George Stacy to find out more about him. I wonder does he have special training to reach this capability" Agent Coulson say to himself before continuing "Hope the others have better luck in finding out Nightwing's identity"

Agent Coulson is annoyed that Director Nick Fury wanted to know Nightwing's identity and base rather than meeting with Nightwing face to face. The only reason that Coulson could think of is that Director Fury want to be in control and to show off SHIELD's capability when establishing contact.

"Damn it! You can't escape forever, Nightwing. No one else is able to track a person better then SHIELD" Agent Coulson said determinedly to himself. "

John F. Kennedy International Airport

The private jet landed on the runway and a large man standing 6'4 (1.94 m) with muscular build exit the plane. He is wearing a lion skin vest with military pants, combat boot and a necklace made of assorted animals.

As he enter the airport lounge, it is filled with cameramen and reporters that greeted him since he is one of the biggest stars on television. His name is Sergei Kravinoff aka Kraven The Hunter. Kraven claim to be the greatest hunter in the world and like to take down large dangerous animals with his bare hands.

Kraven have consumed a mystical potion that give him enhanced strength, dramatically slow the aging process, ultra instinct that is similar to a weaker version of spider sense and durability better than most human.

The potion also enhance his sight, hearing and smell to superhuman levels, with his impressive tracking skills nothing can avoid or hide from him. Kraven is an peak level athletic, a gifted tactician and an impressive combatant with knowledge of pressure points that can incapacitate powerful opponents or animals.

As all the cameramen and reporters swarmed around Kraven to find out why he come to New York and what is he going to hunt next for his next show. Kraven greeted all of them and as he raise his hand everyone went silence "I have hunted and captured all known best known to man, now I want to challenge myself mentally and physically against a new adversary".

"What is that?" asked one the reporter in the lobby.

"If you want to know, you have to watch my next show but I will say it is a challenge that no one will be able accomplish ever again" Kraven say with a huge smile as entered the limo waiting outside of the airport for him.

...

As all of us sat together in the cafeteria as Ned excitedly say "Hey, did you guys hear about the famous hunter Kraven being in New York City".

"Kraven is here? I love his shows" Peter replied with excitement.

"How could you like his show? What the man do to those animals that he hunt is animal cruelty. He is a bad influence to children, his action will cause extinction of all the rare animals in the world" MJ complained.

"I never thought of that" Peter replied as he considered MJ point of view.

Felicia commented "But there is nothing to hunt here in New York unless you go to the zoo or who knows there might be a crocodile in the sewers".

As I hear Kraven's name, I started wondering who is he planning to hunt and which marvel version is he good or bad guy. Looks like I need to warn the others to be careful.

Ned argued back "Kraven does not kill all the animals that he hunt, he only kill them if they have taste human meat!".

"It is not all the animals fault, human also has to blame for this issue. Because each time mankind expand or built new buildings and road the animal's food supply diminish. So due to hunger animal might attack human for source of food" MJ replied back feeling frustrated.

"What you think, Harry? What is you opinion on this is issue?" Felicia asked me in concern since I didn't respond to the discussion as I sat in silence deep in my thought thinking of Kraven's targets.

Peter looking at me in concern "Harry, are you okay?".

"Huh...Oh sorry! Can you repeat the question again. I was just thinking of something else" I say feeling a bit flustered since I was not paying attention to the discussion.

Felicia holding my hand gently and asked cautiously "Is it about your father?"

"No, nothing like that. I was just thinking about why Kraven is here if it is not to hunt dangerous animal" I replied them as I smile reassuring at all of them. As I patted Felicia's hand gently, Felicia realizing that she was holding my hand became flustered as she quickly pulled away her hand acting as nothing has happen.

Dramatically Ned said "Maybe he is here to hunt the most dangerous game, Man!" which draw laughter from the others as Peter commented "I rather believe he become a vigilante compare to a man hunter".

Felicia laughed "The way you keep defending him make it sounds like you have a huge crush on him" as all the others laugh along as Peter keep denying.

Looking at all of them, I wondered how they will feel if only they knew that they are really close to the real answer. I wonder how should I warn the others of the incoming danger.
