Jaws of Death

Chapter 27

The Jigsaw had already dashed downstairs to rally the remaining men. Marcus was alone with Alex.

"You mean, he followed you here?" Marcus Lyman's voice was devoid of any emotion. The rumours were true. The man really was incapable of feeling emotions.

Alexander paced the room as outside the window, the men were fighting an armed invader. They could also see Spiderman making their men dangle upside down.

Alex breathed menacingly. "Yes! That pest! I'll teach him a lesson."

He donned his metal armour and rushed to the window. Marcus was still watching the scene calmly, his fingers playing casually with the knife in his pocket. There was a sense of deathly silence about him that Alex respected and disliked. He turned to look out the window.

I'm coming, you little pest.

Alexander jumped out of the window.

While in mid-air, he squeezed a button on his armour. With a definitive slash, wings sprouted out of his armour and he was air-borne. The wings propelled him forward and he surged up, racing towards the figure in the sky.

Spiderman saw him coming. Before he could react, Alex dashed him right in his sternum. The impact made his victim groan out in pain as they both were launched into the air. He grabbed his neck, choking him while his other hand pummelled every inch of Spiderman he could reach. He hammered his gut with his fists repeatedly.

"I told you not to meddle with my affairs, you insect!" He bellowed.

With a straight uppercut, he tossed Spiderman down towards the half-finished terrace of the Warehouse. He saw his flailing body fall downwards through the air...He waited for the body to hit the cement floor hard...

Spiderman shot out a web out of his hands and swung himself to safety, before using the web's momentum to catapult him into the air.

Towards Alex.

He grunted in frustration. This wasn't going to be a short fight.

As Spiderman neared, Alex grabbed him. With a relish, he pressed a button on his armour that boosted his wings. With a surge of fire, he flew onward, holding Spiderman in a choke hold.

He flew towards the sea.
