They set up a combination of mystical and technological wards to protect the house, and run into Blade there, who joins them.

First Aired: October 5th, 2013

Synopsis: Spider-Man and his team are waiting in a graveyard for a special agent when they're attacked by feral humanoids. They're saved by Blade, who reveals that they're shadow vampires.

Everyone moves to the helicarrier since Blade doesn't trust the team with the package he's brought - half of an ankh. Coulson explains that in the past the full ankh could raise the dead, and that Dracula is after both halves of the ankh since it will remove his weaknesses and make him immortal. He also explains that the other half is in a special area of the museum, which sends Blade heading off to retrieve it. Nick Fury forbids Spider-Man and his team from joining in, saying that he's underestimated how dangerous the mission is, but Spider-Man and his team follow Blade and join him anyway.
