So...instead of Misttale, this happened. And probably more of this will happen.
Uh...I'm sorry.

"I finished this thing in under 20."
"I completed mine in under 18."
"There's no discipline to his fighting technique. He's just thrashing around hitting things!"
"He has enhanced speed and agility, and yet he doesn't use it to move from one kill to the next."
"Yeah, but Fury says he's good for the team."
"Why is Fury testing a new candidate? I didn't approve this!"
"Heh, look who thinks he's still in charge. That's so cute."
"If Fury thinks I'm going to lead that lame-o in battle-"
"In your dreams you're the team leader!"
"He is rough around the edges, but not without potential."
"Yeah, but he named himself 'Spider-man'. How sad is that?"
"What was he supposed to call himself?"
"Something cool that didn't scream, 'Hi! I have low self-esteem and identify with bugs!'"
"Hey, one of my best friends fights with butterflies."
"You know what they say about a book and its cover."
"Dude, I'll clean this helicarrier for a month if he makes it."
"Toilets too?"
"Why are you betting on something like this?"
"Toilets too."
"You're on."
"I'm in!"
"Me too!"
"Daremoga kokode wa bakada."
"I don't understand, what is a 'learners permit' and why is it bad that he doesn't have one?"
"It means he has no training driving whatsoever, and he's currently speeding through New York."
"Oh. I can see how that's bad now."
"This is gonna leave a mark!" Spider-man yelled as he drove straight for what he knew would cause an explosion if hit. Out of nowhere, however, he felt something, or someone, grab him under the arms, pulling him into the air. "Let go, Bucket Head!"
"Calm down, Preschool," his rescuer snarked back. "We'll take it from here."
Within seconds, not only did the motorcycle not blow up, but it was also stopped by a woman wearing a white costume that had done a fairly impressive jump to land on it in the first place. Bucket Head put Spider-man down on the ground before going to float over by his other four teammates.
"I appreciate a hand now and then but I really didn't need to be saved by...who are you guys?"
The man in a green bodysuit with a large, black dragon on it went first. He bowed his yellow-masked head as he said, "Iron Fist. Namaste. Kung Fu master with fist of...well, iron."
Woman in white went next, her black ponytail swaying behind her slightly. "White Tiger. Acrobatic ninja with steel claws and cat powers. The big guy here is Luke-"
"Power Man," the large guy wearing black and yellow interrupted. "If he calls himself 'Spider-man', then I'm calling myself Power Man. It's cool and doesn't scream 'I have low self-esteem'. Super strength and bulletproof skin."
White Tiger sighed. "Ok...Power Man."
The tallest of the five, who almost looked like a magician in a standard tuxedo, minus the blue and silver highlights on the design and the fact that its entire body seemed to be one cohesive mesh of metal and flesh, save for the almost star-like lights on the inside of its tailcoat, bowed deeply. "Call me Limbo," it said in a feminine voice, tipping its hat. "Complete control over an alternate dimension, and also a ninja."
Spider-man blinked at Limbo, not fully processing what 'she' said, but going with it. "And I've already met Captain Bucket-Head, able to carry two buckets of water in a single-"
"Name's Nova, creep!" Spider-man's rescuer snapped.
"Nova Creep. Catchy."
"Nova: the human rocket!"
Spider-man stared like they were all crazy. "Ok...heh, now if you'll excuse me, I have to get this bike back to HQ. You see, I'm with SHIELD." He struck a pose, expecting to have them gushing over him.
"Small world."
Nova grinned widely, while Limbo merely put her head in her hand.
"...oh no…"
"No no no no no! I never signed on to be part of a team!"
"It's not a team, it's a program," Agent Coulson corrected. "If you'll just let me explain-"
"No! Nix! Nein! Nyet! Nuh-uh, no way, never!" With that, Spider-man stormed off.
White Tiger's eyes widened. "I win the bet! No toilets for the tiger!"
Spider-man sat grouchily on his building ledge, watching the helicarrier fly away. He wanted to be a member of SHIELD, sure, but Fury had gone and gave him a bunch of rookies to put up with. He just didn't think he could handle the responsibility if-
"Sup."
The spider themed hero nearly fell off the building in surprise. "H-how did you-"
"Climbed," Limbo said, smirking. "If it helps, I didn't really want to join either."
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah. It's funny, where I come from, you're either a loner, or you're in a group of four because you need the help. Here, people stay in groups by choice. I thought I'd be joining a clan, but instead, I got a squad that isn't mad at me for existing. I don't know about you, but if I can find people that are ok with people existing, I'd rather stick with them than abandon them."
Spider-man blinked at the robot magician, slightly confused, but understanding.
"Well, I've said my piece. Do what you want, man." With that, Limbo got up, faced the wall, and began repeatedly grabbing and pushing off of it, climbing straight up the sheer surface.
"What the...wait, spidey-sense?"
Limbo watched as the rest of her team fought the remains of the Frightful Four, irritated at Fury's direct orders for her not to get involved. For her to stay, she essentially had to minimize weapon use and refrain from using her abilities since it caused 'unnecessary stress' on bystanders caught in them. Heck, she couldn't even swoop in and make it so the civilians wouldn't take damage, even though she had done it hundreds of times before!
"Ordis?"
"Yes Operator? Are we leaving this - god forsaken - wondrous place?"
"Come pick me up. I feel like going to the Simulcron for a while."
"Of course, Operator."
Peter Parker smiled as he put his stuff in his locker. "Finally! Both school and Spidey life are back to normal!"
"Oh Puny Paaarker~" Flash Thompson, the school bully, yelled out, as if to confirm it. "Locker Knocker time!"
Peter sighed. "Unfortunately."
Flash charged at Peter, planning on shoving him right into the locker, only for someone to pull his target out of the way at the last second, ending with the bully getting trapped.
Looking up to thank his rescuer, Peter froze. "Wait, do I know you?"
The large man grinned, and four more people stepped out from behind him. Well, three stepped out, while the fourth moved her electric wheelchair around.
"Any of you?"
The sandy blonde kept an impassive face. "Say hello to your new classmates. Danny Rand."
"Luke Cage."
Luke lightly shoved the hispanic boy's shoulder to get him to speak. "Sam Alexander."
The girl in the wheelchair smiled widely, the dark sunglasses covering her eyes glinting in the light. Her shaggy, black hair reached her chin easily, and stood in stark contrast with her pale skin. "Nori Zariman."
"Ava Ayala. Think about it."
It took Peter a second to realize that four of the five transfers in front of him were the newbie heroes he had met yesterday. The fifth, on the other hand…
"Climbing."
Aaaand he knew who the fifth one was. "Huh?"
Sam smirked. "Oh, some idiot gave Fury the bright idea that we needed 'me time'. Away from SHIELD."
"FYI," Luke added, "don't sweat the secret ID. Code of silence, man."
Peter began pretending not to panic too much. "Hey, this...this is great! Really! Really...great! I just...gotta...go...talk to...a guy." With that, he bolted.
"He's trying to figure a way out of this," Nori stated.
"Fury's already got it covered," Ava replied.
Much to the confusion of almost everyone in the school, Peter Parker left the principal's office yelling several variations of the word 'no'.
So yeah. Yes, I realize it probably sucked. Yes, I realize that "OMG limbo sux y u use him", but I feel Limbo deserves some love. By the way, the Limbo that Nori has uses the Vasiona skin, but colored with black as primary, white as secondary, a very dark blue tertiary, silver accents, and dark blue energy. Also, Nori wears sunglasses due to the fact that Tenno Operator eyes glow, so the best way to hide it is to wear something that covers her eyes.
The reason why Limbo was ordered not to fight? Fury knows what the tenno are capable of, and doesn't want a mass slaughter on his hands.
Anyway, I'm sorry for vanishing off the face of the planet.
Please review maybe?
