Spoiler warning for Homecoming and (obviously) The Defenders. After Peter decides to stay a street level hero, a mysterious organization enters his life and makes his life as Spider-Man harder.... The Hand. Things get even weirder for Peter when he...
Peter, Matt, Jessica, and Luke were walking together, avoiding police cars and being alert for sirens. A police car was headed their way and the 4 hid in an alley behind a parked van as Jessica cursed. As the car passed, Matt made sure to pay attention to the voices in the car. "They got an APB out on us" Matt informed the others. Matt then scoffed. "They think you guys kidnapped me and Peter" Matt said. Peter sighed. "It gets better and better doesn't it?" Peter replied sarcastically. Jessica scoffed. "Yeah, this is just great" Jessica said just as sarcastically. "We're still 20 blocks away from Midland Circle" Luke reminded the others. "Yeah, we need to stay off the streets" Matt said. "That would be easy if it were just me and all, I can just web swing and use the rooftops to stay out of sight but how will you guys be able to do it?" Peter asked. "Maybe we could take a cab?" Jessica suggested. Matt sighed. "They kept my wallet" Luke said. "Yeah, me, too" Matt replied. Peter sighed. "I didn't even think to bring my wallet to begin with" Peter said. "Well shit" Jessica whispered. "Whatever we do, we need to do it fast" Matt pointed out. Jessica pulled some money from her pocket. "Umm" Jessica said showing the others the money (and making sure to crush it a bit for Matt to hear the money). "That should be enough to get in the subway" Peter said. "Train it is" Matt said, before walking the others following him.
Peter, Luke, Jessica, and Matt sat next to each other on the train in silence, each with something on their mind. Jessica then noticed a drunk, poor looking man knocked out in the seats in front of them. She saw that the man brought a bag full of beer cans and she grabbed one. Peter and Luke gave her a look that said "Seriously?" as she opened the can and drank it. Jessica then noticed Peter and Luke looking at her. "It's been a long week" Jessica told them before starting to drink the beer again. The train soon opened and the 4 exited the train.
Peter and Matt found an alley and got into their hero clothes before meeting up with Luke and Jessica outside Midland Circle.

Jessica looked at the two and looked at Luke. "There it is again" Jessica said in a low pitched voice, mocking them a bit. Nobody commented on Jessica's taunt. "All right." Jessica said, indicating she was ready to go and the 4 heroes walked toward Midland Circle.
As Daredevil led the way, down some stairs, he stopped. "What's wrong?" Luke asked. "We're not alone" Matt said. "Daredevil is correct. There are 3 potential enemies waiting for you down the stairs" said Peter's AI Karen. "Oh they are enemies alright. They are armed" Daredevil replied. Luke looked at Spider-Man in shock. "Your suit talks?" Luke asked. "It's a suit made by Mr. Stark. Of course he'd put in an AI" Spider-Man replied. 'Though, I didn't originally know that either' Peter thought. "Guys focus" Daredevil said. "So... it's just 3?" Jessica asked. "Not just any 3" Daredevil replied. The 4 continued down the stairs and saw the door they wanted to open. "Is that the only way in?" Jessica asked. "Unfortunately" Luke replied. Spider-Man sighed. "It's never easy is it?" Spider-Man said. "We do outnumber them. 4 against 3. We could use that to our advantage" Daredevil pointed out. The 4 then walked together to face 3 of the Fingers of the Hand. Madame Gao, Murakami, and Bakuto.
