Chapter one
The hooded team mate
The last six months have been kind to our friendly neighbourhood Web-Head; true, he still had to fight dangerous super villains and the Trapster, but life is all good for one Peter Parker. School life has been great for him and he's been hanging out with Mary Jane and Harry more - ever since the carnage incident they have been trying to rebuild their friendship - and home life with Aunt May is as good as it ever has been as Peter is still trying his best to support her dating Principal Coulson, no matter how weird it is. As for the team and life as Spider-man, it's been win after win after win after win. They are in the zone of awesomeness and Spidey loves it as right now the team are in an old Oscorb warehouse facing The Wrecking Crew and the Frightful Four.
"So, tell me Wizard, how does the freckly four get to team with the whippy crew? Let me guess, you all met in the super market? Am I right?" Spidey jokes as he dodge's his attack.
"Do you ever shut up?" replies the Wizard, frustrated.
"No, he doesn't. Trust me, I tried, it's impossible" jokes Nova as he hit both Bulldozer and Thunderball with a laser blast.
"What are you talking about Bucket-Head?" Says Spider-man as he jumps on to the wall, still dodging Wizard's attacks."Everyone knows that you have the biggest mouth here!" he finishes.
"That's for damn sure" laughs Power-man in agreement as he counters Piledriver attack and made his own.
"Told ya! - aww" says Spider-man as he is attacked by Klaw. Spidey falls and crashes into empty wooden crates.
"Spider-man are you okay?" asks White Tiger, worry in her voice.
"I'm fine... why do I have the feeling the we are having trouble with this losers?" asks Spider-man as he jumps to his feet.
"We're outnumbered, it's eight on five that's why" answers White Tiger as she dodges a powerful punch from Thundra.
"We have to battle on, are chi will guide us to victory" replies Iron Fist as he attacks the Wrecker only to get reversed and get attacked instead.
"Iron Fist... okay, everyone regroup. Back to back, now!" orders Spider-man.
As the team do this they help Iron Fist by getting Wrecker off him and helping him to his feet.
"Dude, are you okay ?" asks Power Man, sounding concerned.
"I'm fine. What's the plan?" asks Iron Fist as all five team mates stand back to back. As they stand like this the Wrecking Crew and the Frightful Four surround them.
"We stay close, stick together and…" just then his spider sense went off.
Oh man, what's going to happen now? thought Spider-man.
"Stick together you say? That's just what I was thinking" says the Trapster from above as he fires his glue cannon and traps the team together.
I so should have seen that coming thought Spider-man,
"I take it back, webs. You've got the biggest damn mouth" says Power-man angrily.
The team is struggling to break free and all eight super villains are laughing at their misfortune. I can't believe that I made such a stupid mistake and fell for a stupid trap thought Spider-man angrily.
"I've been meaning to stick it to you kids for quite some time" says Trapster proudly.
"Dude, tell me you did not just say that" replies Nova in a mocking tone.
"You're not going to get away with this" shouts Spidey
"Think again, Web-Head. We've just won" laughs Wrecker
"And now to get our just rewards!" laughs Thundra as the Wizard reaches for Spider-man's mask. Spider-man cannot do a thing because he is stuck to White Tiger. He is completely helpless!
"No! Don't!" shouts Spider-man to no avail. The Wizard just laughs an evil laugh, enjoying the moment. He reaches he arm out.
"I think it's time we found out who you are! - aww" He screams before three silver shuriken stab Wizard in the arm.
"That was way to close! Wait, where the heck did those ninja star thingies come from?" asks Spidey. He was the last to notice a person standing on the ledge of the upper window.
"Yo, what's with all this drama" shouts the mystery man as he flips down and lands between the young heroes and the villains. As the team gets a better look at the mystery man, Spidey notices that he is about same height and build as him. He look like he is wearing a pair of black boots, men's black skinny jeans, a pair of fingerless black gloves with what looks like a pair of silver metal gauntlets, a belt that had a pocket in the back and had two black escrima sticks and a zipped up white and red jacket with short black sleeves and a white hood up covering his face.
The villains just stand there just staring at the hooded man as he crosses his arms.
"Listen up! I'm giving you one chance and one chance only to turn yourselves in right now otherwise things are going to turn very ugly very quickly. Understand?" asks the hooded hero in a very intimidating voice. Both the Wrecking Crew and the Frightful Four stand in silence for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
"Ha! Who the heck are you making demands like that, kid? Haha... ooof!" Trapster says before he gets hit with a hard right hand.
"The names Azrael and I'm the guy who just knocked you out" replies Azrael to an unconscious Trapster. Nova, Power-man, Iron Fist, White Tiger and Spider-man watch this unfold in amazement as the now seven super villains start to attack Azrael.
*"What in the name of Odin is going on here? That's right, I said Odin! I mean it's cool that this hooded dude is stopping Wizard from taking off my mask and revealing my secret identity but still this - what's his name? Azrael! - has just taken over our mission! What's up that?!"*. Says Spider-man breaking the fourth wall as he watches on. By this point Azrael has already knocked out Trapster, Wizard, Klaw and Piledriver with the greatest of ease and he is dodging and blocking every punch given to him by Thundra in a mocking fashion.
"Babe, it's a good thing you're hot because you can't land a hit to save your life!" jokes Azrael as he takes out both of his escrima sticks and counters one of her attacks with a five hit combo, knocking her down. The others - still stuck - watch on.
"What is this guy? A ninja or something?" asks Power-man, annoyance in his voice.
"He named himself after the archangel of death, not a ninja. However, he is greatly skilled" Iron Fist replies, nodding to himself.
Azrael has now moved onto Thunderball and the Wrecker and he looks like he is having lots of fun.
"Wait… I have a question. If Thunderball is stuck with the old ball and chain does that make you his wife or his Husband?" Azrael asks Wrecker.
Wrecker gets mad and starts throwing them left and right. Azrael grabs one of his big fists and does a back flip kick in the face. When he lands back on the ground Thunderball swings his huge demolition ball and tries to hit him but Azrael dodges and rolls out of the way. He places both hands into his belt pocket and throws the shurikens in his hand; Thunderball drops his demolition ball and uses his arms to cover his face. Azrael only stops when he knows that he has run out of them and that the cost is clear. The second he refills his face, however, Azrael runs full pelt towards him and delivers a wicked right hand to the face, knocking him out.
"And they say that you are the brains of the crew ….ha!" jokes Azrael.
"What's with this guy?" asks Nova. "He's faster than White Tiger, knows more fighting styles than Iron Fist and makes better Jokes than Spidey and I!" he answers himself.
"Hey! That poser is not faster than me! Got it?" snaps White Tiger.
"You're right about his jokes being better than yours, though" Jokes Spider-man as he watches on.
"Okay seven down and one Bulldozer to go" says Azrael as he looks straight at him
"Don't count on that you stupid punk kid" he growls as he runs straight at him head first. As he runs Azrael flips over him, grabs the back of the head and flips him over, making him land face first.
"Punk kid, huh? Well, this punk kid just beat the living crap out of you and your team! Who da man?!" brags Azrael raising his arms only to have an awkward silence. "Oh… I'm never saying that again".
"Great, now he has Power-man's strength" grumbles Nova
"No he doesn't!" replies Power-man angrily.
"I can't believe that one guy took out both the Wrecking Crew and the Frightful Four! It seems almost impossible!" says White Tiger in amazement. Azrael drags all the villains into a pile as Spider-man watches his actions.
*"There's something off about this guy… I can't really explain it but I feel like this Azrael guy is hiding something… you feel it to, right? I mean for example how did he know where to find us? Why did he help us in the first place? Most importantly why the heck am I still stuck like this?!"* says Spidey.
The team struggles to break free from theis sticky prison and Azrael, seeing this, can't help but chuckle a little"What are you laughing about?" snaps Nova angrily. Azrael simply ignored the question and taps his right gauntlet.
"Hey, space pirate you better bring the cleaning crew 'cause your team messed it all up. However all targets are down, there is minimal damage in the area and before you ask me don't worry your pretty little bold head, no one's dead. So, did I pass ? Asks Azrael as his gauntlet becomes part of a communicator.
"Well done rookie, I am impressed. Now, help the team and meet me back in the Helicarrier. Then we'll talk. Fury out" commands Nick Fury as he turns off the communicator.
"What a minute, who the heck are you ? You work for S.H.I.E.L.D?" asks Spider-man in shock.
"Did Fury send you to save us or something?" asks White Tiger.
"Forget that man, are you going to help unstick us or not?" Asks Nova, still trying to break free from the glue. Azrael walks up to them and starts to laugh again. The team weren't liking the laugher that they were hearing.
"Oh man I can't believe that you five fell for such a stupid – huh?" Azrael is interrupted by the sound of the Trapster coming to. He now looks like he has a broken nose and he looks around to see his team mates all knocked out, before looking up at Azrael.
"Ah!" he screams still sitting on the floor.
"I think you should surrender now" says Azrael to the Trapster.
"wh-whys th-that ?" asks Trapster timidly. With that Azrael unfolds his arms to his side so that Trapster could see. Then out of nowhere sharp, silver blades come out of both of his gauntlets. Spider-man and the rest of the team watch wide eyed. However no pair of eyes were as wide as Trapster's, as he looks at both of the hidden blades and for the first time straight into the eyes of Azrael. The Trapster gives a look of pure fear.
"Let's just say I really don't want to get this new costume covered in stains if you know what I mean" says Azrael in what almost sounds like a murderous tone of voice. Trapster just sits there scared out of his mind before passing out.
*"I don't know about you right now but I may have webbed my shorts a little"*. Says Spidey as he continues to watch.
"Pffft, what a loser. Now to 'unstick' you lot" says Azrael using the same world as Nova. With his two hidden blades he is able to cut the glue and cut them lose. In the end they all get free and brush themselves off, Azrael offering to help White Tiger up from off of the floor by extending his hand. She slaps his hand away and helps herself up.
"So is everybody all nice and clean?" asks Azrael, mocking the heroes.
"We're fine, now who the hell are you?" demands Power-man.
"What?! No 'thank you for saving our butts' or 'for cleaning the mess that we obviously can't handle ourselves'?!" asks Azrael, still mocking them. The whole team is staring at Azrael, a death glare in each of their eyes which Azrael returns.
"Why you little…!" says White Tiger, walking towards him only to be stopped by Spider-man.
"Easy Tiger" he says to her before looking at Azrael. "You're right, we should thank you".
"Pffft, whatever. Like I really give a damn," says Azrael to the young heroes. "Oh and to answer your question from before, my name is Azrael and I'm your new team mate.
To be continued…
