Thank you Nobel Six for writing this story with me!
Thank you for all of the support and reviews I am getting for this story!
Thank you "Nobel Six" for your review; Yeah this story is fun to write, but I also have a couple other stories I am writing...
Thank you "The Story's Shadow" for your review; No it is no problem, I enjoy it when someone takes as much time and thought as you do when you leave a long review. I appreciate it.
Agreed peace is hard to find in the midst of war, however it is not impossible...
Yup I myself did not see Sullivan and his lap dog coming. Do they have honor? Maybe in their own twisted way... But striking a surrendered prisoner and a defenseless woman is overcrossing. But Andrew had to be knocked out anyways...
Yes there is true cruelty in Sullivan's corner, but there is also a monster on the other side; Black Spider and Spider Demon. I am waiting for the right time to unleash the beast. When that happens... 'Nobel Six' will do damage control.
The story continues...

"Are you saying that half your operatives have been captured?" President Mason asked Director Fury over the secure phone line.
"Yes, Mr. President, Raymond Sullivan has captured half of the Academy, and has taken them only God knows where, and is doing only God knows what to them as we speak." Fury said. He had phoned the President as soon as he had witnessed the capture of the Academy student's on both sides who where attempting a meeting to end the Academy Civil War, only to be ambushed by Raymond Sullivan and the Diamondbacks, now Peter, Ava, Tandy, and Sam where missing.
"What can I do for you, Fury?" Mason asked the director.
"There is nothing we can do, we can't track them, as of now they are M.I.A., as sad as it is to say this, they are on their own..." Fury said ominously

(Meta's Point of View)
"Who the bloody hell tipped off the Diamondbacks!?" Marcus yelled as he paced back and forth. It had been several hours since most of heir friends had been captured, and Marcus was getting angrier every second.
I gave a low dangerous growl as I said "If I knew I would personally tear them apart..."
"We and SHIELD where the only ones who knew about this meeting, now both sides are in Sullivan's clutches." Marcus hissed.
I could feel my anger awakening my darker personality. I growled and punched the metal wall, I made a hole in it, oops... I said darkly "Let's see here, how many people would benefit? Who would have the most to gain?"
"That is a hard question to answer, we where the only ones, aside from Peter's group who knew about that meeting, nobody else knew."
"Trust me, if Peter wanted you guys, he would not even do the other... Tell me Marc, why would anyone here switch?" I said slowly walking towards him, I could feel my anger clouding me vision, but I could control it... barely...
"Nobody here would gain from aiding Sullivan, he's a bloody maniac, Andrew trusts us all, I am his third in command, and to make matters worse, I can't contact our agent on the inside." Marcus said angrily.
I growled, I could feel Perseus coming out, Black Spider was trying to come in, but now was not the time.
I gave a nod and said "Look over everything, pasts, money, trade, stock, everything. I have a few ideas of who it maybe Mark..."
"Who you think it is then?" Marcus asked impatiently.
I arched an eyebrow and said "Scarlet Spider was a traitor in my world... you are another one, and Shotgun Granny... I hate guessing..."
"You're accusing me, I wanted to be on the ground with Andrew, but he ordered us to be backup, Scarlet got captured as well, and Palmer gains nothing from helping the man she hates, your jumping at shadows."
I gave a dark chuckle and said "Scarlet would be an inside job, you would be the best traitor because what better spy than the right hand man? I just do not like Palmer, I have a bad feeling about her." I took a breathe and said "As I said before I hate guessing."
"Instead of guessing, lets try and figure out how we can find and save both parties who have been captured." Marcus growled at me with anger.
I growled and said "What is the point of saving them of we have a spy in our ranks? We ourselves would get captured! Trust me, I hate leaving a loved one behind. But first we have to take care of this rat."
I turned my back and said "By the way Chill Bane, you need to take a chill pill." I left the room knowing I ticked him off a little more gave me a small smirk.
Marcus just growled and began looking for possible locations of where they might have been taken to.
I sighed and shook my head...
I thought to myself 'Looks like I have a few rooms to check in...'

(At a Secret Prison)
"Welcome to your new home for the foreseeable future." a guard taunted Doreen as he shoved her into a prison cell and the door shut and locked with a mechanical hiss, which left Doreen alone with her thoughts in her surprisingly spacious prison cell, it honestly surprised her how big her cell was, it had two decent looking beds, a private bathroom, complete with a shower, and a window that showed a holographic display of her choice, complete with several options.
It almost seemed luxurious, at least it was until she saw the orange jumpsuit laying folded on her bed, which made her let out an angry sigh. She picked up her uniform and looked it over, it looked alright, although there was no hole for her tail, so she figured she'd be tucking her tail into the seat of her pants until she figured out a way to escape, or she could do something about it, as she used her sharpened nails to cut a hole in her pants large enough to let her tail fit through, as she stripped down from her heroine attire and changed into her prison outfit.
"Got to play for time, can't try fighting back on the first day." Doreen whispered to herself as she laid her heroine attire on her bed, her attire was missing her utility belt, and she assumed it had been removed when she was unconscious, and it kinda grossed her out that someone, or multiple people had been handling her unconscious body. Suddenly the door opened and in walked an armed Diamondback guard.
"I will be taking your heroine attire, so give it to me." the guard ordered her.
"What if I don't want to give it to you?" Doreen asked. The guard responded by pulling out a shock baton from his belt and hitting her lightly in the stomach with it, which made her drop to her knees as the wind was knocked from her lungs.
"That was just a minor warning, so that was the minimum voltage," the guard hissed as he walked forward and took her heroine attire, "next time you get out of line, I'll do more than knock the wind out of you." the guard threatened her.
"Screw you!" Doreen said in an angry whisper as she tried to ignore the pain. The guard heard that and raised his shock baton to strike her again, but this time a female guard walked in.
"Jenkins, that's enough," she yelled at Jenkins, which made him lower his weapon, "Sullivan does not want us to abuse our power, step out of line again, and you'll have to deal with Sullivan himself." the female guard threatened Jenkins. Jenkins unseen to her just rolled his eyes.
"Your dead, Squirrel Girl." Jenkins lowly hissed as he holstered his baton and walked out of her cell.
"I'm sorry about him, he gets out of line, my name is Cornelia, I'm you and your cell-mates supervisor, every prisoner has one." Cornelia explained as she offered a hand to Doreen, which she took, and Doreen was helped to a sitting position.
"His bark is worse than his bite." Doreen hissed.
"Maybe, but these batons are made specifically to deal with super powered individuals, they nullify your powers when you are hit, so that explains why your healing factor is not working right now." she said, which made Doreen's eyes widen.
"How do you know I have a healing factor, and why are you telling me this?" she asked the guard.
"For starters you have no chance of escaping, so that's one reason," she said as she paused to take a breath, "secondly we took a blood sample from you and analyzed your powers while you where unconscious, so we are equipped to deal with someone with your skill set." she said with a superior smile as she stood there and informed Doreen. Before Doreen could respond, Cornelia's radio went off, "Prisoner 312 is awake and is being transported to his cell, all available guards come for extra security." the radio operator ordered.
"Roger that, I'll be making my way to maximum security." Cornelia responded into her radio.
"By the way, your new cell mate will be here shortly." Cornelia said a she stood up and left the room, and moments later, Ava was pushed into the cell, and she looked pissed off to say the least.
"Great, guess your my cell mate." Doreen hissed.
Ava growled and said "Looks like it..."
"First Sullivan blasts me with sonic weaponry, then he sticks you with me, you'd think he's trying to kill me." Doreen said as she sat on her bed.
Ava sighed and went to a bed on the other side of the cell and claimed it as her own and said "It could be worse you know... Can we at least try to get along? If we want to leave alive, then we have to work together..."
Doreen said "How is that, last time I saw you, you wanted me thrown in a jail cell, and before that we had a fight on the docks."
Ava growled and said "You really want to bring up the past when WE ARE in prison NOW!"
Doreen stood up and took up a stance that allows her quick mobility in case things when south, "Why are we in here in the first place, we agreed to meet with you, someone on your end tipped off Sullivan." Doreen replied calmly.
"How do you know it was on my side and not your side? Maybe it was from both sides?" Ava said her voice was low but firm.
"Everyone on our side knew, but only four of us went to the meeting, the other two stayed back." Doreen said.
"Who stayed back? They may have been the ones that turned." Ava asked curious.
"Marcus and Meta, but both stayed back on Andrews orders, in case the meeting went sour." Doreen said
"The other Spidey and Chill Bane? Why those two?" Ava asked
"You'd have to ask... Andrew!" Doreen said suddenly in a panic, "Where is Andy!?" Doreen said
Ava said "Calm down, panicking will do us no good. They probably put him in his own cell, probably with the others males... oh boy, if Peter and Andrew are together..."
Doreen said "Lets hope that's not the case, I can't see those two getting along."
Ava gave a sigh and said "Maybe they need this to get the past behind them. Because if we try to get out and they fight, it will only get them and us killed or caught. Let them duke it out now and get along later."
"I don't think Sullivan wants to kill us, or we'd already be dead right now." Doreen said
Ava replied "Agreed... but I think he wants more than to have a pet in the cage... he may want to play... maybe see if he can turn us, or get Andrew to turn... the easiest way to kill a man in through the heart, those closest... meaning you and I... Andrew chose to save us, not one, not the other. Sullivan may end up torturing us to get to Andrew..."
"Bring it on then, I love Andy, and don't plan on breaking." Doreen said with conviction
Ava shook her head and said "No, you IN pain will break Andrew, he will do anything to keep us from pain and death..."
"We can't let Sullivan get the chance to enact his plans!" Doreen exclaimed.
"Agreed..." Ava said "But first we have to escape..."
"That might be easier said than done." Doreen said.
"Agreed." Ava said with a nod.
A few seconds later Ava asked "I noticed 'Meta' was different than Spider Man, he seemed... I can't place it, but he was not the same. Do you know more? He seemed open to me for some reason..."
"He's from another dimension," Doreen said simply, "One where he and your counterpart are married." Doreen explained
Ava blushed and asked "Really? How long?"
"Don't know, never asked him." Doreen said simply.
"Oh..." Ava said "Also this Meta guy, he was did have some points on killing, but WHY? You know how Peter is about killing. Why is Meta so open and actually encouraging murder"
Doreen said "First he does not condone Murder, killing is a different matter completely."
"Sullivan deserves Death Ava, he's killed to many people." Doreen said.
"That as it may or may not be so, that was not what I asked, why is Meta open to killing? That is very different from Peter and from what Peter told me, most Spider Men do not kill." Ava asked.
"Once again I don't have an answer to that, something happened to him, that's all he would tell us." Doreen explained as she laid down on her bed.
"I see... it must have been major for him to be as changed as he is..." Ava said as she sat on her bed.
Doreen turned so she could face Ava laying as she said "He's not a bad guy, nobody on our side is, we just want the death of Sullivan, nobody else, just him."
Ava replied "I never said Meta was a bad guy, all I said was something changed him from our Spidey. But from what Meta said, I do not think he would mind killing those around Sullivan if it meant to get to Sullivan quicker... Meta reminds me of Wolverine..."
"Maybe, but is he wrong?" Doreen asked.
Ava sighed and said "I do not like killing, but then again I would have killed Kraken if it was not for Peter stopping me..."
"You really hurt Andrew when you sided against him." Doreen said.
Ava sighed and said after several moments "I know... but I never met to hurt him..."
"Yet you choose Peter over your boyfriend, I would never stab Andy in the back, it's part of the reason we are together now." Doreen said.
Ava sighed having no words to defend herself, she drew the line in the sand. She made her bed now she has to lie in it.
"I don't know what you and Andrew went through, but I said nothing, even though I was jealous."
Ava gave Doreen a small smile "Thank you..." Ava sighed and asked "How was Andrew before this?"
"Before what, exactly?" Doreen asked confused.
"Before we were captured I mean..." Ava clarified
"He was actually happy, and willing to meet with you to end this Civil War, but I guess that's off the table now." Doreen's said sadly.
"Well..." Ava swallowed "At least you make him happy..." Ava added after a few seconds "Me and Peter got together..."
"We have been together for several weeks, Peter comforted me after Andrew and I broke up, our talks got longer and sweeter, so we decided to make it official." Ava said simply
"To be honest I could see that coming." Doreen answered.
"Neither did I... or Peter.. it just happened Unexpected." Ava said
"Well I hope you remain loyal to him." Doreen said
"I aim to be..." Ava said.
Doreen replied "Just as I aim to be loyal to Andrew."
Ava gave Doreen a nod.
"We'd better get some rest, I don't care what time of day it is, I have a feeling down time will be our saving grace. By the way, where did they put your amulet, as well as my utility belt?" Doreen asked
"Not sure about that..." Ava said as she laid down "But I agree, we need to rest up and be as strong as we can get."
"We need a plan, longer we remain in here, the stronger Sullivan gets." Doreen whispered.
Ava gave a nod to her fellow heroine and cellmate.
"I'm not one for thinking of plans, but first thing we need to do is locate the others." Doreen said.
"Agreed, united we have a chance..." Ava said with a nod, then she asked "I overheard something about neutralizing powers? Is that true?"
"Yea, they take a blood sample upon your arrival and analyze your powers, than they are equipped to counter them, I just got a shock baton to the guy, and it nullified my healing factor." Doreen said.
Ava frowned and asked "Chances are they did the same to the Scarlet and Peter... do you think it will work with Meta? Is he not the same as Peter?"
"Unlikely, he's got different abilities, he won't even reveal all of what he could do." Doreen said, before an announcement came over their cells PA system.
"Welcome to Diamondback prison Zecon, your home for the foreseeable future, to get along you've got to play along, otherwise your home could be a living hell, and don't even consider an escape, everyone who has tried... has been killed." The voice over the speaker informed them.
Ava smirked and said "There is always a first for everything..." A few moments later she asked "What new or different powers does he have that Peter does not have?"
"Agreed, lets see if we can escape, but to answer your question, Meta took a sniper round point blank range, and got right back up like nothing happened."
"Damn... I think the Wolverine comparison was the right one..." Ava said with a low whistle
"Indeed, he seems to have some striking similarities." Doreen said
"But if they can take away your healing factor, would it take his? Which reminds me, is yours running yet?" Ava asked
"No, mine is not working at the moment, I still feel a burning from where they sapped me." Doreen said as she rose her shirt slightly and showed Ava a small burn mark.
Ava winced and said "That looks like it hurt, how long ago was it?"
"Less than twenty minutes, it still burns like hell." Doreen winced.
Ava said sympathetically "Sorry to hear that, we need to keep an eye on it for two reasons, one for infection, and two, we will know how long we will be crippled."
"Agreed, wish I had something for pain though." Doreen said as she lowered her shirt and laid back down.
Ava said "As do I..."
"What did they do to you?" Doreen asked in a concerned tone, which surprised Ava.
"As soon as I arrived at the merging point I was jumped and subdued by at least twenty Diamondback elite commandoes, I think they broke something in my foot." Ava said as she took off her left shoe and showed her foot was in a splint.
"Sorry to hear that." Doreen said honestly
Ava sighed and said "At least they splint it up... and well it could be worse."
"It seems they want to take care of us." Doreen said in an observant tone.
"Perhaps, or they want us for something..." Ava said darkly.
"That was ominous, but want us for what?" Doreen whispered.
Ava listed a few reasons "One if we turn they have allies, two Andrew puts his team first, if they hurts us it hurts Andrew more. Three they maybe something deeper going on than meets the eye..."
"Agreed, but we have no idea what that is." Doreen whispered.
"Agreed..." Ava whispered back.
Suddenly a new guard walked in, "Here is the rundown ladies, mealtimes are at 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM sharp, you get free time in the afternoon, after you complete your work load, we will make sure it's completed, any questions?"
"What type of work will we be doing? Ava asked politely.
"You Ava Ayala will be," the guard paused as he took a check list off his belt, "Working in the machine shop, repairing stuff and the works, and Doreen, you will be working in the green house."
Ava gave a nod and said "I am not the greatest with machines.."
"Tough luck, it's the job the Warden has assigned you, you don't work, you don't get your privileges." The guard said with little care.
Ava gave a curt nod but offered no more words.
"I actually am not super powered, without "magic" for the most basic terms, I have nothing..." Ava correct him
The guard slapped her instantly for that comment, which made Doreen quickly rise, but he pulled out his shock baton and turned it on.
Ava spat some blood out and muttered "I am going to guess you are one of the mutant haters..."
"No, I just don't like supers, well those who don't get the big picture." He spat as he put his baton in a striking position.
"Really? What IS the bigger picture?" Ava asked trying to keep her temper in control.
"You'll figure it out soon enough." The guard spat as he walked out of the cell, leaving the two heroines in silence for a few seconds.
Ava wiped the blood off of her lip and said "He should be easy enough to rile when we want to escape."
"Agreed, you alright, you took a pretty big slap." Doreen asked in a concerned tone
Ava could feel a bruise forming and said "I've had worse, and your burn is worse than a slap."
"We got to find, Andy, and we've got to escape." Doreen said.
Ava sighed and said "Agreed..."
(Line Break)
(Meta's Point of View)
"You don't plan on snooping around do you." Cho called out as me, he must have over heard me talking with Marcus.
I growled and said "What if I was, what would you do?"
"Andrew trusts us, don't you?..." Cho asked
"And your point is? His "trust" got him captured." I said with a low growl.
"We don't know who is to blame here, and the last thing he would want is us killing ourselves." Cho argued.
I gave a dark chuckle, I could feel Black Spider waking and stirring.
I turned my back and said "What are you going to do? Nothing? I would rather be busy than doing nothing. If Andrew trusts us, than he would allow us to look around for a fail safe. He kept us behind for a reason. I for one would have rather gone with him to see Ava. But he ordered me back."
I growled as I walked towards the exit.
"Besides, who said anything about killing? A few broke bones wont kill..." I added with a cruel unseen grin as I voiced Black Spider's thoughts for the first time in a while.
"Palmer and I are working our asses off trying to locate this prison they've been taken to, but the search I fruitless so far." Cho said.
I said coldly "Palmer... Andrew said 'Palmer was the Best', you see if she was how did we get caught by SHIELD? How did they get captured? Why cant you find it?"
"The place is built with state of the art tech, stuff she had nothing to do with, it's a hard nut to crack." Cho explained, protecting Palmer.
I gave a low sigh and said "Try doing your own research without Palmer's inference... I do not trust just anybody, and that has kept me alive."
Cho nodded silently, and then walked in another direction.
I muttered "Finally..."
I walked towards the exit...
I called over my shoulder "Cho, trust your gut."
Cho just nodded without turning around
I gave a nod that went unseen, and I thought about my next step either looking around, or leaving the building.

And there is the end of the chapter.
Thank you "Nobel Six" for helping write this chapter.
I wrote a little more than just "Meta" this time, can you guess who I wrote?
(Nobel Six, you don't count! ;) )
Well until next time Death Fury and Nobel Six signing off!
