THIRD-PERSON POV:

Location: Upper West Side Docks

The night draped over the docks, a canvas of shadows concealing the clandestine activities below. Zain, adorned in his sleek Spider-Man suit, perched atop a weathered shipping container, his senses attuned to the subtle movements beneath. Beside him, Tombstone, a looming figure in the darkness, exuded an aura of authority.

"This is the place, Lonnie. According to Hammerhead, there's a major shipment tonight."

"And we're here to throw a wrench in their plans."

The distant clang of machinery and the rhythmic lapping of waves set the stage for the night's operation. Crates, shrouded in secrecy, were unloaded from a cargo ship.

"Something's... off. This isn't your typical smuggling gig."

"Big Man's goons always up to something. Let's find out what."

Silently, the duo descended into the shadows, navigating the labyrinth of containers. The air thickened with tension as they approached the epicenter of the operation. Hired muscle, clad in darkness, hustled about their tasks, oblivious to the impending disruption.

"Keep it quiet, Lonnie. We don't want to tip them off."

"I'll be a ghost, Spider." Tombstone says sarcastically.

As they closed in, Zain's senses heightened, detecting the subtle nuances of the operation. The duo huddled behind a stack of crates, observing the illicit exchanges.

"This is where it gets interesting..."

Just as they prepared to intervene, a voice echoed through the shadows.

"Spider-Man and his... associate. How delightful."

The towering figure of Hammerhead stepped into view, flanked by a cadre of his goons.

"Looks like we got ourselves some party crashers."

"The fuck? How did Hammerhead get here?!"

"I knew your boy looked shady, Spider!"

"Wh– no! This isn't what it looks like! Hammerhead must've done something to him!"

The tension exploded into action as the goons turned their attention toward the unexpected guests. Zain and Tombstone, a formidable duo, readied themselves for the impending clash.

The docks transformed into a battleground as Zain and Tombstone engaged the criminal underlings. Acrobatics and brute force melded in a symphony of combat, each move calculated and decisive.

"These punks are in for a surprise..."

The confrontation escalated, the night echoing with the clash of fists and the crackling of bio-electricity. Zain darted between adversaries, his web-shooters unleashing strands of silk that ensnared the goons.

"Guess it's a bad night to be on Team Hammerhead. Taking L's after L's... Damn."

As the final thug crumpled to the ground, defeated, Zain turned his attention to Hammerhead, who found himself cornered.

"You're gonna regret this, Spider." Hammerhead grumbled.

"Regret's a two-way street, Hammerhead. What I am gonna regret is not punching you in the face sooner!" Zain charges up his bio-electricity and punches Hammerhead straight in the face.

With a swift web swing, Zain hoisted the defeated criminals, creating makeshift cocoons that dangled from a nearby crane. The visual statement was clear– justice prevailed in the face of criminal endeavors.
