Time for more of The Crew


Peter Parker was walking home from his job at The Daily Bugle, his ears ringing from his boss J. Johan Jameson's constant yelling at everything, but Peter was somewhat used to that.

But that's not the toughest part of his job, the tough part is working at a place that's basically degrading all his Superhero work as his alter ego, Spider-man.

The Bugle constantly publishes false articals making Spider-man out to be a villain, though luckily most of New York doesn't buy it, the fact that Spider-man had endorsement from The Avengers themselves is his saving grace.

Either way, he needed a job and so long as he got his pay, as minimal as it had a tendency to be, he would press on.

While walking, he ran into his friend, Mary Jane Watson.

"Hey MJ, great to see you"

"You too Peter, coming home from work?"

"Yeah thank goodness, sometimes I hate being there"

"You really should go for something better, you're too intelligent to be stuck doing that"

"I'm not that intelligent"

MJ looked dumbfounded, "Not that intelligent? You're one of the smartest people I know, and I've known you for years, you need to stop being so down on yourself"

"MJ I really don't wanna discuss this"

"But Peter..."

"Look I have my reasons for doing this"

"Which would be?" MJ leaned in closer, waiting for an answer, but Peter got frustrated, "It's nothing MJ, don't make a big deal out of it, now if you don't mind I just wanna get home"

MJ sighed, "Whatever you say Peter"

Peter walked off in a huff, leaving MJ concerned about him.

As Peter walked he felt his Spider Sense go off, "You gotta be kidding, I was hoping to lay down a bit, ah well no rest for a hero I guess"

Peter went into a dark alley and changed into his Spider-man gear.

"Time for the friendly neighborhood Spider-man to save the day again"

He swung off to the source of his Spider Sense want found some trouble a few blocks down.

A group of evil mutants known as The Brotherhood were tearing up the streets.

"Oh great, its Magneto's Brotherhood"

Avalanche, Pyro, Toad, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were destroying property and terrorizing civilians.

"What are those goons up to?"

"No good obviously" a voice behind Spider-man said.

"Johnny?"

"Sup Pete"

Johnny glared, "Don't ever call me a nerd, I'm too cool to be a nerd"

"What about me?" Spider-man asked.

Johnny looked a bit awkward, "No comment"

Spider-man facepalmed, "You're a jerk"

"Hey it's not my fault I'm freaken awesome" Johnny buffed out his chest.

"Whatever Torch, what are you two morons doing here anyway?" Avalanche asked.

"Uh we're here to stop you", Spider-man bluntly pointed out.

"Really, you two stop us, not a chance", Avalanche said.

"Dude we've stopped you before, and not too long ago we totally whooped Dr. Doom", Spider-man said.

"We're not Dr. Doom, we're more dangerous than before and besides, it's 5 on 2, unless your friends come back, you can't stop us"

"Well...I have only one thing to say to that", Spider-man said.

"Really? What's that?"

"PUNCH!" Spider-man punched Avalanche back and webbed him and pulled him into another punch to a wall.

Quicksilver ran at Spider-man and punched him several times while running and knocked him over. Johnny then blasted Quicksilver back and then blasted Toad back.

Pyro shot fire at Johnny, which didn't phase him, "Dude fire can't hurt me", Johnny posed with a fire fist, which Pyro controlled and made Johnny punch himself.

"You were saying?"

Johnny blasted Pyro back but he was then attacked by Scarlet Witch with a blast.

Spider-man stood up and ran at Scarlet witch with a punch and used his web to fling her away.

Toad went to attack Spider-man but he was punched away, but Spider-man then lost his balance when Avalanche caused a mini Earthquake.

Johnny blasted Avalanche to help Peter but Quicksilver ran in with a jumping punch to bring Johnny down, and when Johnny stood up, Quicksilver hit him with a barrage of punches, but Spider-man ran in and grabbed Quicksilver and threw him, but Quicksilver landed on his feet while Pyro took the time to hit Spider-man with some fire attacks.

Johnny attacked again but Toad jumped over and kicked him back.

Scarlet witched charged an attack, "Time to die"

Spider-man and Johnny stood up and got into a defensive position.

"Bring it on", Spider-man egged on.

Scarlet Witch went to attack but her hands were suddenly frozen.

"Huh? What happened?" Johnny asked.

"We were saved at the last minute in a cliché fashion?" Spider-man said.

Scarlet Witch looked over and saw Iceman.

"Hey Scarlet, nice to see you again"

"Damn, it's Iceman!" Scarlet Witch said.

"I'm not alone"

At that moment, Wolverine, Cyclops, Gambit, Jean Grey, Rogue, Beast & Storm arrived.

"X-Men, get to work!" Wolverine ordered.

The X-Men rushed in and attacked the Brotherhood, causing them to retreat.

"We'll be back!" Avalanche warned and left with the others.

"Well that takes care of that issue", Wolverine said.

"We need to keep an eye out though, and find out why they caused this attack", Cyclops said.

"This ain't the first time, what are they up to?" Wolverine asked.

Spider-man and Johnny approached Cyclops and Wolverine.

"Looks like we sure showed them", Spider-man said.

Wolverine simply growled, causing Spider-man and Johnny to back away a bit.

"We do thank you both for assisting, we've been tracking them fo r a while, they're up to something, we just don't know what"

"Well if you need more help, you know where to find us", Spider-man said.

"We don't need you two bozos anymore, now buzz off"

"Logan, show a little appreciation", Cyclops said.

"It's fine, we know how Logan acts", Spider-man said.

"You're a good kid Spider-man, keep up the good work"

Johnny approached Cyclops, "What about me?"

"...You too", Cyclops said half-heartedly, much to Johnny's annoyance.

Iceman approached them, "Close call, good thing I arrived and saved you two guys"

"Hey we weren't down for the count, we had some fight left in us", Spider-man said.

"Right...well we should catch up, tell me all about the whole ordeal with Doom and your crew", Iceman said.

"Sure, once you're done with what you're doing with The X-Men", Spider-man said.

"Oh you don't need to stay Bobby, you can go with them, we got this", Cyclops said.

"Cool, come on guys", Iceman said and left with his two friends.

"Bunch of nimrods they are", Wolverine said.

"Logan..."

"I'm just being honest"

Cyclops sighed.

Meanwhile the Brotherhood retreated away to their safehouse.

"Damn Spider-man, and that Human Torch too", Avalanche complained.

"This is gonna cause more issues to our cause", Pyro said.

"The boss isn't gonna like this", Toad said.

"Like what?" they heard a familiar voice say, soon after all the metal in the area started to shake.

"Oh no...", Avalanche said.

They all turned and saw Magneto approach them.

"Hey boss, how you doing?" Avalanche asked nervously.

"Explain to me what happened" Magneto stated.


Gotta love these dramatic moments, even if they area bit cliché.
