*Night time*

"The chemicals in this gasmask seem familiar. I might be able to figure out where they came from. The place feels close. It might be in Hell's Kitchen. I don't know what I would do when I find it. Maybe call the cops, have the place shut down. People will be seriously hurt with this stuff going around Hell's Kitchen. The people who use it look like they can't control themselves. I don't know if I'm ready to fight another one of those thugs. Maybe Brett was right, maybe I do need help with this...
Found it. It's a workshop in Hell's Kitchen, not too far from here. I gotta go." Matt thought as he jumped off of the rooftop of Josie's bar wearing his black suit.

As Matt gets close to the workshop, he stops and hears a gunshot. He can sense someone has already beat him to it.
He can sense a woman who is very strong, taking out Tombstone's thugs.

"What the..." Matt said, surprised. He chose not to interfere.

"Alright, asshole. Don't make ask me again. Where is he?" The woman asked for the second time.

Matt can sense a pale woman grabbing a biker by the throat.

"Impossible. He used the gas mask. How is he not doing any damage to her? She knocked out the whole workshop with no problem. I need to stop her before she kills them." Matt said before he dropped to confront her.

As soon as Matt dropped, the woman looked at him while still grabbing the biker.

"You?" She asked.
"No one needs to get hurt. Drop him." Matt said with a concerned voice.

The woman dropped the biker.
She walked to Matt and said "if I hadn't known who you are and what you're doing here, I would've beat the shit out of both of you."

"You know who I am?" Matt asked.

"Well, with the shit that happened yesterday, why wouldn't I? You were at Josie's bar, fighting Tombstone's men with that spider guy.
We're after the same person." The woman said.

Matt sensed a camera in her pocket.

"Who are you?" Matt asked.

"Jessica Jones, private investigator

"Jessica Jones, private investigator. My client's husband went missing 2 nights ago. The wife said that he mentioned that he had a deal with Tombstone. I tracked one of the bikers to this location. No sign of the husband." Jessica answered.

"The gasmasks they have, it gives them this energy, like a superpower. You managed to deal with them, but I can't let these dangerous people run around Hell's Kitchen. We should call the cops, have the place shut down." Matt said in an annoyed voice.

"What? This place isn't the only workshop Tombstone has. He has plenty scattered around New York. I was hoping for the husband to be here." Jessica said.

"I have to take down Tombstone." Matt said quietly.

The thug on the ground laughed while saying "YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE DOWN TOMBSTONE? Even if you can, you'll be dead by the time you get to THE MAN HE WORKS FOR. HAHA!"

Jessica knocked out the thug.

"Listen, don't go after Tombstone. This is an avengers level threat. By what I've heard from Josie, you can barely fight.
I'm just gonna find my client's husband and be done with this shit." Jessica said while walking away.

Matt stood there... Not moving an inch.

"Who's the man he's working for?" Matt asked in a serious tone.

"The Kingpin." Jessica responded.
