-New York

It was dark, close to morning. By the harbor was a trail of ice in the water. They crumble to pieces. They inside a warehouse two men were talking. They were gang members.

Thug 1: man, can you believe the supervillains kingpin throwing at the spiders

Thug 2: I know, it was normal guys in tech like shocker and vulture, but then all of sudden we get the sandman and rhino. 

Thug 1 : yeah not to mention that sweet black cat, meow does she look good

Thug 2: shhh, you want the boss to hear

Thug 1: no one is hear 

???: on the contrary 

The thugs freeze in place as a figure looms over them in the shadow 

Thug: who's there

???: oh come no, don't tell me you forgot about me. I always had that steely glare

Thug: oh fuck, its iceberg

Thug 2: no way. Iceberg was put on ice 

Suddenly the person raise his hand and fires a blast of ice at the thug, freezing him solid. The other thug falls back as the figure walks close.

Iceberg: he really should've chose his words carefully 

Thug: h-h-h-hey iceberg, g-g-g-glad your back

Iceberg: it's good to be back. Now unless you want to end up like your friend. Your gonna tell me what I want to know 

Thug: like what 

Iceberg: LIKE WHERE I CAN FIND THE GUY WHO DECIDED TO PUT ME ON ICE, WHERE I CAN I FIND THE KINGPIN!

Iceberg looms over the thug with rage filled eyes.

-Sullivan Apartment

Through the floors of the apartment Jasper scurries around. She was panicking. She was being chased by something. She zigs and zags but the figure kept up. She tried to hide but it was no use. The cat, back against to the wall, hisses at the figure. 

Grim: for the last time Jasper

The figure was grim, with mittens covering his hands, snorkel and soap. 

Grim: get... back... in.... The tub

Jasper hisses. 

Grim: your know what the doctor said every week one of us have to clean you. And today is the day. Now we both wish it could be Penni but she's at the job. You put up a good fight but it's over.

RING RING

Grim and Jasper turn to see grim phone going off. Grim slowly looks and sees Jasper smug face. 

Grim: don't you dare..... don't you dare....... Don't you- fuck it

Grim web grabs his phone and pulls it back. He turns and sees Jasper gone, he looks and sees jasper tail in his cat house.

Grim: dammit Jasper. I hate cats. [picks up the call] WHAT IS IT LEO IT BETTER BE GOOD

Leo: DUDE, ITS YOUR MOM, SHE GOT ME PINNED IN A SEALED WAREHOUSE. I ALSO RAN OUT OF WEBS SHOOTER

Grim: WHAT, CANT YOU JUST VENOM/ELECTRIC PUNCH YOUR WAY OUT. WE DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT DAMAGE 

Leo: I tried that, but one glance and she got me all messed up, I can't even go invisible
