Felica Hardy AKA the Black Cat is missing, presumed dead. She had partnered with Maggia Don Hammerhead to blackmail the other families' leadership. Hardy betrayed Hammerhead. Using appropriated Sable weaponry, he retaliated. Both Hardy and the blackmail material were lost in his attack. Now Hammerhead is out for blood. Blackmail no longer an option, he's gone to the mattresses, hoping to eliminate the other Maggia dons by force. To do this, he's continued to appropriate the heavy arms Sable left when they pulled up stake. The police impounded as much of Sable's equipment as they could, but it may not be enough. It's an all-out gang war, and New York is caught in the middle. The Maggia have Hammerhead pinned in the old Harlem Sanitarium.

Y/n perched on the edge of a building, his legs swinging idly as he absorbed the chaos unfolding below. Rain pattered around him, mingling with the sounds of laser fire from Sable's weaponry and the incessant gunfire from the Maggia. The grim news from Yuri still echoed in his mind: Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, missing and possibly dead, a victim of a brutal gang war ignited by Hammerhead's ruthless tactics.

Below, Hammerhead and his family were locked in a fierce firefight with rival Maggia factions. The old Harlem Sanitarium, now a battlefield, was thankfully encircled by brick walls, offering some semblance of protection to the innocent bystanders.

Yuri and Pete were alongside Y/n, crouched and alert, their eyes fixed on the pandemonium below. The situation was dire. With Hammerhead using heavy Sable arms against the other dons, the violence had escalated to dangerous levels, turning New York's streets into a warzone. Y/n, Yuri, and Pete were poised on the brink of this chaos, ready to intervene and prevent further bloodshed.

The tension in the air was palpable as Pete exchanged a final, knowing look with Yuri. "It's getting bad down there." Pete said.

"Ready when you are." Yuri's voice cut through, steady and sure.

"Copy that. I'll get them looking the wrong way. You gentlemen ready?" Pete nodded, his gaze shifting to the small squad of officers arrayed behind them. They were a tableau of readiness, clad in the dark, imposing gear of the SWAT team. Among them, Y/n rose from his perch at the building's edge

One officer, Lieutenant Drake, caught Pete's attention. "Spidey, check it out," he said, a trace of boyish excitement in his voice as he brandished his wrist. There, emblazoned on his watch, was Pete's iconic mask.

"Nice." Pete acknowledged with a brief smile.

Y/n leaned in, curiosity piqued by the unique timepiece. "Do you think they have one for me?" he mused aloud, his eyes tracing the design. After all, his own heroics in the city's defense surely merited such recognition.

Pete responded with an encouraging nod. "I wouldn't see why not; you did help save the city."

Yuri, ever the voice of authority, interjected with a note of mild reproof. "That's not regulation, Lieutenant." Her eyes, too, were drawn to the watch.

Lt. Drake offered a sheepish yet unapologetic explanation. "Sorry Captain. Birthday present from the kid. Not every day you run ops with the man." he said, nodding towards Pete before correcting himself with a glance at Y/n, "Or well, mans, I guess."

Yuri's response was firm but not without understanding. "I'll let it slide. This time. Now get back to the ready line."

Lt. Drake retreated with a chuckle. In the next breath, Pete and Y/n exchanged a silent nod. Y/n's movements were fluid, as he shot a web to the neighboring water tower. With a deft flick, another strand of webbing latched onto an open window of the Harlem Sanitarium, creating a makeshift zipline.
