New York City

God I really hate Fury sometimes, thought Peter as he swung through the city with his webs. He had just had a colossal fight with Nova and the gang after they yet again almost ruined his friendship with MJ and Harry. But before a full on fist fight broke out, Nick swooped in and told him to patrol the city for signs of trouble.

"All I wanted to do was lie down and sleep. But after all, 'With great power comes great responsibility,' right? Oh well, at least I'm alone. Now I have some time to cool down, it wasn't entirely their fault after all. I should probably apologize later... at least tonight is quiet, no signs of any trouble." Peter sighed and was about to head back when all of a sudden his spidey sense was set off.

"Oh no"

Right in that moment, because life was just out to sucker punch Peter, a metal arm knocked him right out of the sky plummeting towards the ground. Before he could use his web shooters to attach back onto one of the buildings, the metal object that had hit him struck him again, slamming him right into one of J.J.J's news screens. The sheer force of the blow broke the screen, sending electricity coursing through Spiderman's body. As he began to lose consciousness, the only thing his ever sarcastic mind could think to do was mutter "Spoke too soon…."

Parker Residence

"Hey, good thing Web Head's gone. Right guys? He was getting kind of irritating. Don't ya' think?" Sam asked the gang who were all sprawled across the Parker's living room, watching the television. Ava and Danny just glared while Luke nodded in agreement.

"Well we did almost ruin the sacred bond of friendship between Peter and his two best friends." replied Danny.

"Yeah, I'm with Danny on this one. I mean, with the amount of times us "random new kids" drag him away without giving a good excuse, I wouldn't be surprised if they thought we were in a gang and selling drugs together." added Ava. Luke mentioned that he highly doubted that they would ever think that. Peter was too much of a goody two shoes to get into that stuff. Sam was about to throw in another joking insult, when the Daily Bugle News came on with "Breaking News"

"Aw great, what's it going to be this time? Another ridiculous baby name?" Luke groaned, but immediately stopped as soon as he heard what the story. J.J.J was raving about how witnesses claimed that Spiderman was "taken down" and that the "web headed menace was finally out of the city's hair".

"Ugh, I can't stand that man, always bashing on us, especially Peter!" Growled Luke. Sam vigorously nodded in agreement, completely abandoning his previous attitude.

"Are you serious!?" screeched Ava. "That is what you're focusing on?! Come one! We have to get to SHEILD and see what's going on."

And with that she walked out the door with Luke, Danny, and Sam trailing behind. Spidey better be okay. With all the madmen we deal with, god only knows who got their hands on him. I hope it was just a rumor. Thought Sam

SHEILD Base

Phil had just put some agents to work on the necessary work that's done for every arrest SHEILD makes, when the group of heroes came in looking extremely angry. He was about to ask what had them so riled up when they beat him to it and they all started gushing questions. He didn't get anything but gibberish.

"Whoa, slow down! One at a time." Phil immediately turned to White Tiger, the most reliable of the four. "What Happened?"

Ava took a deep breath and began her interrogation. "Where is Spiderman? There was a News story about how he was "taken down" by somebody. He wasn't at his house, obviously, and it doesn't seem like he's here. So tell me it was either a rumor or you know what happened."

Phil frowned. "What? He was only on patrol. I haven't heard anything about this. Have you tried his communicator?"

"Yeah, duh." replied Nova with a roll of his eyes. "He didn't answer. Now find our friend…Please" he said with an uncharacteristic hint of urgency and worry in his voice.

"Alright. Let me see what I can do. This seems like it might be serious." Phil dashed over to one of the high-tech SHEILD computers and pulled up the news story from before. After some web surfing, no pun intended, he pulled up multiple videos taken by witnesses. It had taken a matter of minutes.

"Whoa, you're good." commented Luke.

"That's why I get paid the big bucks." Phil smirked.

"This is not time for jokes my friends. Let us watch these videos so that we may find our missing friend." Said Danny.

The team watched the videos and they all exchanged a worried glance. In the video, standing over Spidey's unconscious body was no other than Doc Ock. And the worst part? He took Spider-man with him.
