Chapter 27: Reactions from the Shadows

Kingpin's Lair

Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime, sat in his opulent office, eyes fixed on the massive television screen. The footage of Spider-Man's battle with the Sinister Seventeen was playing. Fisk's brow furrowed as he watched Peter Parker's new powers and his brutal treatment of the villains.

Fisk: "So, Spider-Man was the one who shut down my operations. The one who cost me millions and disrupted my network."

His hands clenched into fists, his jaw tight with anger. He remembered the mysterious figure who had systematically dismantled his operations, costing him untold resources.

Fisk: "Noir. I should have known."

As the footage continued, Fisk's anger turned to a cold, calculating rage. He saw the terror in the eyes of the Sinister Seventeen as Peter tortured them, heard Peter's chilling message to the villains of the world.

Fisk: "This... this is unacceptable. He's stronger than before, more ruthless. He's a threat to everything I've built."

His mind raced, plotting his next move. Despite the fear that crept into his thoughts, he shook it off. Fisk was not one to be intimidated.

Fisk: "We need to find a way to neutralize him. He's disrupted too much already."

He turned to his lieutenants, who stood silently, waiting for his orders.

Fisk: "Double our efforts. We need new strategies, new alliances. And bring me all the information you can find on these new powers of his. We must understand our enemy to defeat him."

The lieutenants nodded and left the room, leaving Fisk alone with his thoughts. He stared at the screen, watching Peter's message replay once more.

Fisk: "You may have won this round, Spider-Man. But the game is far from over."

In Latveria

In the cold, imposing halls of his castle, Doctor Doom sat on his throne, watching the news with a steely gaze. The footage of Spider-Man's battle with the Sinister Seventeen, his new powers, and his brutal tactics played on the large screen before him.

Doom: "So, Parker has returned. And with newfound power, it seems."

He watched intently, remembering the last time they had faced each other. Peter had not only defeated him but humiliated him, making Doom call him "Dad" in front of his subjects. The memory stung, but what stung more was Peter's warning about Susan Storm and her children.

Doom: "He dares to threaten Doom. But perhaps... he has something more to offer."

Doom glanced at the card Peter had left him, promising help with his disfigured face and body. His hand instinctively touched his mask, bound painfully to his scarred face.

Doom: "If Parker truly possesses the means to heal me, then perhaps... a temporary truce is in order."

His mind raced with possibilities. Aligning with Peter, even temporarily, could provide the opportunity to regain his honor and perhaps more.

Doom: "Very well, Spider-Man. We shall see if you can deliver on your promise. And if you can... you will have earned an unexpected ally."

The Brotherhood Hideout

In a hidden lair, the Brotherhood of Mutants gathered around a television, watching the news of Spider-Man's return and his battle with the Sinister Seventeen. Magneto, Mystique, Destiny, Red Queen, Psylocke, and Lorelei stood in silence as the footage played.

Magneto: "So, it was Parker who raided our hideout weeks ago. I should have known."

Mystique: "He's become quite powerful. Perhaps even a mutant."

Destiny: "His new abilities are extraordinary. We underestimated him."

Red Queen: "Exciting, isn't it? Imagine having someone like him on our side."

Psylocke: "Indeed. His skills and powers would be invaluable."

Lorelei: "And he's already proven himself by defeating us and helping the children. He has shown an appreciation for mutants."

Magneto: "Peter Parker could be a great addition to our cause. He's proven his strength and his willingness to act."

Mystique: "He's a good kid. Misguided, perhaps, but with potential."

Destiny: "We should approach him. Show him that our cause aligns with his goals."

Magneto: "Agreed. Let's extend an offer to Parker. With his power, we can achieve much."

The Brotherhood shared a sense of excitement and determination. They saw in Peter a potential ally who could help them in their fight for mutant rights and survival.
