When Percy had said that he was sending backup, Danny didn't expect said backup to be in the form of a group of college students in orange shirts armed with bows and arrows. They were wicked shots, though, and apparently had to qualms with shooting the enemies in the groin. They shouted to each other but it wasn't anything of importance besides wondering if anyone knew how to tie knots because some people were being extra uncooperative.

"I do!" Danny beamed, bouncing over to a man about an inch or two taller than him with sun-kissed blonde hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a purple hoodie with a college logo and- Oh, God, that was the feral leader Percy had warned him about. "Hi, I'm Danny," he said conversationally because he honestly wasn't sure what one was meant to say while tying a bad guy in rope.

"Will." The guy responded, not appearing any sort of feral like Percy said but Danny knew that sort of shit was hidden within. "These are my siblings- except that bitch." He gestured to the other side of the warehouse littered in shadows. "That's my boyfriend."

Danny peered over at where the man gestured and realized that the shadows looked a little too long when one took in account where the sun shone through the windows. He blinked in surprise when someone walked out of the shadow with a sword and grabbed a HYDRA agent, falling back into where he emerged with the person.

Don't ask Danny if the agent was alive. He never saw him again.

However, Danny did get enough of a look at Will's boyfriend to guess that he was Nico di Angelo, Percy's cousin who was supposed to be dead but it didn't stick. Nico was wearing black tactical gear instead of the aviator jacket he was always described to wear and Danny thought it was the funniest shit ever when he realized that Will couldn't keep his eyes off of him.

"Thank you so much!" Danny beamed when all the agents were knocked out (or killed- jury's out there). "I know some of you guys came out during finals, so I wanted to pay for your lunches this week!" He bounced over to his duffle bag and pulled out his wallet, handing each person two hundred dollars- part of it for the lunch and the other as incentive to not kill him for whatever reason in the future.

College students were fucking scary, man. He heard the stories even all the way in K'un-Lun.

"This- We can't take this-!" Someone tried to sputter until they were back-handed by another's wad of cash, the person hissing angrily in Greek at them.

"Alright, enough." Will said calmly. One would have thought he had shouted the words, however, as everyone immediately closed their mouths and pocketed their cash as they waited to hear what their brother said. "Daredevil is in trouble. Let's fuck some shit up."

Everyone cheered, including Danny because he was a chaotic baby at heart, and Nico stepped out of a long shadow to smirk at them and inform them that he was ready to take them to the fight.

Having Venom as backup had to have been one of the coolest things Peter could have ever done for Wade. It certainly beat the "hermit crabs" the kid had gotten him that he swore up and down couldn't talk and weren't evil.

Wade lasted a good six hours before he was calling DD to "please pick them up, I fear." Matt walked into his apartment and stayed for a whole five minutes because he didn't trust the scuttling noises their legs made at random times. In the end, Peter had to come and pick up the "hermit crabs" because Wade had dramatically live tweeted him his plan to "get rid" of the "hermit crabs." Needless to say, he was trending for a good two days- but so were the fucking "hermit crabs."
