It's been 84 years...
From this chapter on, I'm gonna try to include little references to movies, shows, and maybe even YouTube videos. Kudos to you if you find it. Once I finish the book and each one is found, I'll reveal to everyone what the reference is.
Good luck.
[Spidey swings through the city and calls MJ.]
Spider-Man: Hey, it's me.
MJ: This curry is legit.
Spider-Man: So what do we know about Charles Standish?
MJ: Let's see-- Chief Financial Officer at Oscorp. Single. Known for his art collection.
Spider-Man: If Li's after him, it's got to be related to Devil's Breath.
MJ: I'll run a search on everything in that file.
Spider-Man: Let me know the second you find something. I think Li might be planning something even worse than City Hall.
MJ: So are we partners now? Cause it sure feels like we are.
Spider-Man: Partners. Sounds good.
"From lovers, to friends, to partners, to lovers. Very poetic." Tony said
MJ: Okay! See ya, Partner!
Spider-Man: Police look like they could use some help.
[Spider-Man starts fighting the demons.]
Demon: (Stand fast, Mr. Li rewards courage!)
Demon: (You are shameless and less than human!)
Demon: (Stop screwing around and kill them!)
[Spidey defeats the demons.]
Police Officer: Friggin' terrorists. Thanks for the assist, Spider-Man.
Police Officer: Someone radio dispatch; we need a wagon.
Spider-Man: There's probably more of them inside. You guys stay here. (enters the parking lot) Somebody was in a hurry...
[Some security guard calls Spidey.]
Man: Spider-Man!
Spider-Man: You're hurt?
Man: I'm okay, but you gotta find Mr. Standish, fast. Those guys in the masks kidnapped him and forced him up to his place he lives in the penthouse. Top floor.
"Kidnapping someone to bring them to their home isn't kidnapping, more like... I dunno." Someone criticized
"Also, why did he need to say the penthouse was on the top floor, isn't that what a penthouse is?"
Spider-Man: Okay, sit tight.
[Spidey fights more demons.]
Demon: (Take him down!)
Spider-Man: So glad you're here. I can't find my car-- could have SWORN I parked on this level.
Demon: (Get in close!)
Demon: (He's in the air!)
Demon: (Defeat is unacceptable!)
Demon: (Back away from him!)
Demon: (This city will know the truth!)
Demon: (Time to end this.)
Demon: (He's just a man -- get him!)
Demon: (Let's see how tough you really are.)
Spider-Man: Wait, you guys work here too? This building is SERIOUS about parking enforcement.
"No comment about my puns, Miles?"
"No point in it."
[Spidey wins.]
Spider-Man: Good fight. A for effort. Elevator won't work, they know I'm here. But maybe I can sneak up through the elevator shaft. Should be able to make it up to the penthouse from here.
Spider-Man: Okay, almost there... Stay out of the light... Nice and easy... Tall building...
Demon: (There he is-- kill him!)
[They start throwing balls of fire down the shaft.]
Spider-Man: Fire bombs? Seriously? Move!
Demon: (He's climbing up the walls!)
Spider-Man: Uh-oh. Not good! There's Standish.
[He is held hostage by several Demons.]
Charles Standish: Okay. Now what?
Demon: Enter your password.
Demon: (He's dead, right?)
Demon: (Don't underestimate him. Keep an eye on the elevator.)
"Good idea, make sure you stay near the elevator filled with fire."
Spider-Man: He sounds nervous...
"I wonder why."
[He starts webbing up Demons when they aren't looking.]
Spider-Man: Okay, all clear. Hope Standish is alright.
[More Demons arrive.]
Demon: (Break him!)
Demon: (What was that thing?)
Spider-Man: Let's try this again... (to Charles) It's safe now. What were they after?
Charles Standish: Just-- financial records.
"Didn't know they were a bunch of accountants."
Spider-Man: About Devil's Breath?
Charles Standish: How do you know about that?
"I know, and see, everything!"
"What am I doing then?" Tony says, touching his temple with his fingers.
Peter started to turn his head, but MJ stopped it.
"No no, you don't need to look, what's he doing?"
"Damn you..."
Spider-Man: Why do they want it?
Charles Standish: I don't even know what it us. Mr. Osborn's been pouring money into it for years, but he keeps the whole project a secret. I'm the only one who has any record of it.
Spider-Man: Not anymore. Looks like they copied some records to a secure server payroll information... on a Doctor Isaac Delaney. Who is he?
Charles Standish: I honestly don't know...
"I feel like he's lying."
Charles Standish: C'mon, c'mon! (punches the elevator button)
Spider-Man: WAIT, the elevator's--
Charles Standish: Aahh! AAAHHHH!
[He falls into elevator shaft. Spidey jumps to the rescue.]
"Does he survive?" Loki says
"Yes."
"Okay, then that looks stunning!" Loki says again, referring to the fire everywhere.
Thor punched him.
Spider-Man: Hold on! Almost got him! Try to fall slower! Gotcha! You okay?
Charles Standish: Yeah-- I think so.
Spider-Man: Good. Good. You know, as elevator shafts go, this is pretty nice.
"What other elevator shafts have you been in?"
"No comment."
[Next scene. Spidey calls Yuri.]
Spider-Man: Hey, Yuri.
Yuri Watanabe: You okay?
Spider-Man: Yeah, but I didn't get much out of Standish before these Sable guys stepped in and told me to back off. What's the deal?
Yuri Watanabe: I get the sense all they care about is keeping him quiet.
Spider-Man: Because he knows about Devil's Breath.
Yuri Watanabe: Right. Whatever the hell *that* is.
Spider-Man: I'm working on that-- I think I just got a lead...
Yuri Watanabe: A lead? You sound like a cop...
"I know where this is going..."
Spider-Man: Don't you mean... Spider-Cop?
"There it is!"
[Yuri hangs up.]
Spider-Man: Yuri? That's fair...
MJ: What happened with Standish?
Spider-Man: He's safe.
MJ: Okay, good. And the Demons?
Spider-Man: They were looking for a name. You got a pen?
MJ: Yeah. Go.
Spider-Man: Dr. Isaac Delaney.
MJ: Who is he? What's his deal?
"How would he know?"
"Didn't he just tell her...nevermind."
Spider-Man: I was hoping you could tell me.
MJ: I'm on it. Just gimme a few - oh and before I forget. You left that tracker from Tombstone's at my place. I'll drop it at Dr. Octavius' lab. Let you know what I find on Delaney.
Spider-Man: Message from Doc...
"This sounds familiar."
Otto: Sorry to call so late, my mind's bursting with ideas. We've been thinking too small. Peter, Why replace missing limbs with facsimiles when we can improve upon them? People who've lost an arm understandably want it back. But we can give them something BETTER! The human body doesn't need to be our default. We can go so far beyond it. Just some thoughts to conjure with!
Spider-Man: Doc's really giving it both barrels... hope he doesn't burn himself out... (calls MJ) MJ-- what'd you find out about Isaac Delaney?
MJ: Check out the picture I just sent.
Spider-Man: Which one is Delaney?
MJ: I don't know. Guess you'll have to go to the party to find out.
Spider-Man: Good thing I already have a costume.
[Spidey swings to Empire State University. Almost everyone dressed as Spidey's famous antagonists.]
Spider-Man: Halloween party. Guess I don't have to change... Delaney's dressed as one of my greatest foes. Let's find out which one...
"I'm calling it, he's the lizard dude."
"You win something."
Man: We'll go out early to Midtown. There's plenty of cops there.
Woman: I don't know. They seem to have their hands full right now. You just don't want to cook.
Man: Ha! Not true. I'm fine with cooking and staying in!
Woman: Grilled cheese is not cooking. Fine. But we are S0 ordering out.
Spider-Man: Everyone's in costume. My people. Dr. Delaney is here somewhere. I have to find him before Li does.
Fake Spider-Man: Hey! Look at us, we're Spider-Bros! Check out my moves. Fshew-fshew-fshew!
"He seems charming...and in need of a diet."
"That's rude."
Man: I swear I forgot it was Halloween until I walked in here.
Mysterio: Come one, come all, to Mysterio's diabolical Hall of Mirrors!
Spider-Man: Excuse me, are you Dr. Delaney?
Mysterio: Ah, Spider-Man, my nemesis! You won't catch me this time! (drop a smoke pellet and runs away)
Spider-Man: (coughs) Oh no. Smoke. What ever will I do?
Mysterio: This is the end for you, Spider-Man! Now I have you!
[Spidey "defeats" Mysterio.]
Dr. Stratton: Hey, what's wrong with you? I worked on that helmet for a week!
Spider-Man: I need to find Dr. Delaney.
Dr. Stratton: He's out in the party somewhere. Who are you?
Spider-Man: I'm your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Dr. Stratton: Ha, smartass. Looks okay. I guess. It's got a crack in it. Could probably just buff that out.
Vulture: Ca-caw! Ca-caw! Eat! Eat, my little children! Let me hear you SCREAM!
"I'm calling it, that guy is a pedopohile!"
"Why would you say that?"
"Did you not hear what he just said?"
Spider-Man: That guy throwing down candy could be Dr. Delaney. Gotta find a way up there.
Vulture: Some for you... some for you... some for you...
Spider-Man: I'm looking for Isaac Delaney.
Dr. Hagen: Uh. I think he's on the dance floor... There he is-- the lizard in the lab coat.
"I KNEW IT!"
Rhino: Hey look, it's Spider-Boy. Since I'm one of your nemesis's, we gotta fight. What's the matter, Spider-Wimp? You afraid of my mighty horn?
"What a jackass."
[Meanwhile a Demon grabs Dr. Delaney.]
Dr. Delaney: Hey! Who... what are you--?
Spider-Man: Hey!
Man: Fight! Fight!
Rhino: RRAWWRRRH!
Man: Kick his ass, Spider-Man!
[Spidey uses his powers to defeat 'Rhino'.]
"He had it coming."
Man: What the hell?
Man: Oh snap!
Woman: Oh my god, is that the real Spider-Man?
Dr. Delaney: What do you want?!
[Demons takes Dr. Delaney out of the party. Spidey goes after him.]
Man: This is a joke, right? Those aren't real guns...
Demon: Back! Now! (hits the man)
Spider-Man: Let him go!
[Spidey fights the demons.]
Spider-Man: Now, where'd they take Delaney? There's Dr. Delaney.
Dr. Delaney: Where are you taking me? Who... who are you?
"Hey, Peter?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Sure."
"Let's say you draw something in chalk, and you erase it. Do you know where it goes?"
"How is that a personal question?"
"Just answer me."
"It goes into the brush."
Martin Li: You recently began working with someone at an Oscorp lab.
Dr. Delaney: H-how do you know that?
Martin Li: We don't have much time, Isaac. Tell me his name.
Spider-Man: Show's over Li.
[Martin Li transforms int Mister Negative.]
Spider-Man: Apparently the show's *not* over.
[Mister Negative infects Dr. Delaney with his energy.]
Muster Negative: His... name...
Dr. Delaney: Doctor Morgan Michaels.
Mister Negative: Thank you.
[He gives him a gun. Dr. Delaney shoots himself in the head.]
"Shit!"
Spider-Man: No!
[Mister Negative leaves. Spidey breaks free and kicks some Demons ass.]
Spider-Man: That's all of them. Gotta fund Li!
[Mister Negative infects the people at the party.]
Spider-Man: Gotta stop them from hurting each other. You'll be okay later... What did Li do to these people? Not that guy again... If it helps-- I felt bad doing that. Apologies.
[He calls Yuri.]
Spider-Man: Yuri. I need your help.
Yuri Watanabe: I've got reports of shots fired at ESU--
Spider-Man: Yeah, that's me. I'll explain later. But right now you need to find a Dr. Morgan Michaels. Martin Li's coming after him.
Yuri Watanabe: Copy that. Spider-Man... who is this Dr. Michaels?
Spider-Man: I thunk he's the head scientist on this Devil's Breath project. Did you find him?
Yuri Watanabe: Yes and no. Sable says they have him under protection at a safehouse somewhere in the city. But they won't tell me where.
Spider-Man: I thought you guys were working together?
Yuri Watanabe: So did I.
Spider-Man: Okay. I have an idea on how to find him. I'll let you know if it works.
There's another chapter, don't expect a new one soon. As I said on my community post, I'm quitting writing soon. If you want all details, check out my community post.
