"Molly, you ready?" I asked my 13 year old cousin as we prepared to face out with the five X-Men sent to capture us(Iceman, Anole, Mercury, Rockslide, and Surge).

"Yeah," she nodded.

I shot a web blast at Rockslide's face then jumped out of the way to avoid a wave of ice that Iceman sent at me. Mercury turned her arms into giant blades and started slashing at me while Anole went for Molly.

"Giant knives? I thought your body could take on any shape you want, why can't you be a little more original? But it's not a bad choice, Terminator 2 was my favorite. The new one with Christian Bale's a little lack-luster. I expected so much more. Care to share your thoughts?" I taunted Mercury as I continually dodged her attacks while Molly fought Anole. My spider sense went off: Rockslide had ripped off the webbing and was coming for me. I jumped into the air, causing him to punch Mercury instead. My spider sense went off Iceman. I fell to the ground with my arm frozen. again, Surge sent an electric blast at me. I spun midair and barely avoided it but was then hit by an ice blast from

"Oh, I see how it is. Four on one?" I said as I landed and saw Mercury, Rockslide, Iceman, and Surge get ready for another attack. Molly was still fighting Anole who looked to be gaining the upperhand. I needed to change that. I shot a blast of webbing at Iceman and Mercury then shot a stinger at Surge. I smashed my ice arm into Rockslide's face and then tackled Anole.

"Hey! That was my guy Jason!" Molly complained.

"All yours," I punched him once in the face and returned my attention to the other four X-Men. "I think I have my hands full anyway."

Rockslide charged me and attempted to punch me. I sidestepped it and sent an uppercut at his jaw. I knew that if I kept it close to Rockslide only Mercury would make an attempt to jump in unless Surge or Iceman decided to physically help. I sent a flurry of punches at Rockslide's stomach then roundhouse kicked him before I sensed Mercury to my right. I shot a quick shot webbing and tried to duck as my spider sensed blared in my head. Mercury turned her arm into a shield and blocked the webbing while Rockslide punched me in the face then kneed me in the stomach. I back-flipped and kicked Rockslide in the jaw then shot a webline at Mercury's leg and yanked it, tripping her.

My spider sense went off, I jumped back avoiding attacks from Iceman and Surge but ended up getting hit by second attacks they sent at where I jumped. I kept moving, knowing that if I stopped this could be the end of it. Unfortunately Iceman managed to get my legs frozen. As I attempted to free my legs he froze the rest of my body up to my neck and Surge electrocuted me once more. I started to struggle to break the ice but it wasn't working.

"It's over," Surge said. "How are things going for you Anole?"

I looked over and saw that Anole had Molly pinned to the ground. From the look of things we were out of luck. I kept struggling hoping I could somehow break the ice and save Molly. Lucky for me Molly had things under control: she kneed Anole in the balls and got out of his grip. I managed to crack the ice enough to break it.

"Later," I mocked the X-Men as I grabbed Molly and jumped off the building, swing away. I knew they'd try following but only Iceman and Surge actually could. I needed to move fast, they wouldn't need long to catch up. I swung around the corner as my spider sense started go off.

"Jason, they're behind us!" Molly told me.

"I know," I replied swinging faster. I let go of my line and fell then kicked off a building to avoid attacks they sent at me. I swung around the corner into an alley, thus making my best decision in quite a while: Pixie appeared in front of us. "You're still not with them, right?" I asked.

"I'm helping you, aren't I?" she asked as she teleported us away just as Iceman and Surge turned the corner.

---Meanwhile in Queens…--- "Did you really think we wouldn't come looking for you guys after you took our name?" Patriot asked as he and the rest of the Young Avengers faced Stature and her team.

"Considering you guys didn't register and I did, I think that gives me the right to take the name," Stature said.

"I can't believe we're listening to this crap," Speed jumped in. "We're the real Young Avengers! We didn't abandon our team! And we're about to kick your team's ass!"

The two teams of Young Avengers clashed with each other. Patriot VS MVP. Thor Girl VS Wiccan. Armory VS Vision. Stature VS Hawkeye. X-23, Hulkling, and Speed VS the Scarlet Spiders.

"MVP? You couldn't think of a better codename?" Patriot asked as he punched MVP in the jaw.

"Considering it's true and those are my initials, I thought it fit," MVP sent a kick back at Patriot but he blocked it with his shield. Patriot kicked him in the stomach and hit him with his shield. MVP kicked Patriot in the shin, knocking him to the ground.

Patriot kicked both his legs up and hit MVP in the jaw. MVP stumbled backward while Patriot got up and threw a fistful of throwing stars at MVP but he recovered from the kick he recieved and was able to dodge them then countered the attack by throwing a nearby garbage can lid. Patriot raised his shield, just barely blocking the garbage can lid from making contact.

"You're gonna have to try harder than. This isn't one of your lame ass training simulations," Patriot punched MVP hard in the face and knocked him into an alley. MVP got up to punch Patriot but missed when Patriot jumped up and grabbed the ladder to a fire escape and kicked MVP in the face. All of a sudden the alley became covered in a cloud of steam.

"This is gonna be fun," MVP said as he got up.

Armory shot an energy blast at Vision but he dodged it. "That's an interesting weapon. If we weren't fighting I'd ask to examine it," Vision said as he looked over Armory.

"Guess you're out of luck then," Armory replied as she shot another blast at Vision that missed.

"No. I said I would ask if we weren't fighting, since we are I didn't," Vision explained. "The Tactigon. Interesting. Unknown alien technology that seems to adapt depending on its enemy. Let's see how well it fares against 31st technology." Vision sent an energy blast at the Tactigon that caused it to start sparking.

"AHH!" Armory screamed. The Tactigon started to change form rapidly before blasting several shots randomly into the air that missed Vision completely. Vision took the opportunity to land on the ground and punch Armory several times before the Tactigon managed to restabilize itself.

Armory shot Vision but he phased himself through and thrusted his arm through Armory and then the Tactigon causing Armory to shout in pain. The Tactigon started to spark and this time Vision screamed and was sent flying, resolidified. Vision got up and sent a fire blast at Armory. She sent a wave of water at it which created a cloud of steam that spread through the street.

"You're being a bitch Cassie!" Hawkeye yelled as she shot an arrow at her former teammate.

"Because I'm following the law?" Stature asked as she dodged the arrow by shrinking slightly.

"Because you think stabbing your friends in the back is completely fine, that's why!" Hawkeye punched Cassie in the face.

"You guys just have to register and-"

"And then we work for S.H.I.E.L.D. as costumed cops. Thanks but no thanks," Hawkeye sent another punch at Stature but she caught it and kneed Hawkeye in the stomach. Hawkeye stumbled back and Stature took the opportunity to grow to about 10 feet. Hawkeye lept out of the way as Stature attempted to pick her up.

Hawkeye shot three arrows at Stature who tried blocking them by raising her arm where one hit her in forearm, another scraped the edged of her ear. The street became engulfed in a cloud of steam suddenly as Stature shrunk to her normal size. "Good luck hitting me with an arrow now, Kate!" Stature called. "You're good but you're not tha- ARGGHH!" Hawkeye snuck up behind Stature and grabbed her by the hair.

"Did you really think these sunglasses were just for show?" Hawkeye asked. "Guess your Initiative training didn't pay off."

"Okay Spiders, we're trained for this. Attack plan beta," the lead Scarlet Spider instructed. The 3 spiders fanned out in unison heading for X-23, Hulkling, and Wiccan.

X-23 and Wiccan dodged out of the way while Hulkling stood his ground and was punched in the face by a Scarlet Spider but countered it by grabbing him by the face and slamming him to the ground. X-23 ducked a kick then kicked the second Spider in the back against a wall. Wiccan shot a lightning bolt at the third to stop the webline that was shot at him.

X-23 got close to her Scarlet Spider and started slashing at him while he narrowly managed to avoid being cut. "Whoever you are, you really shouldn't pretend you have Spider-Man's powers," X commented.

The Scarlet Spider punched X in the face but was cut in the arm in the process. He kicked her in the stomach and shot some webbing at her but missed when she grabbed and twisted his arm before he shot the web.

"Come on, if you're going to use one of Aracnor's moves at least be subtle about it," X said as she punched him in the face. Scarlet Spider countered this by attacking X with 4 mechanical spider legs from his back. X was cut by two of them and jumped back away from the Scarlet Spider who now was shooting webbing at her. X wove through lines of webbing and revealed the claws in her feet as she lept at the Scarlet Spider and cut off 2 of his mechanical legs with her foot claws.

Wiccan shot several lightning bolts at his Scarlet Spider but he managed to dodge every one of them. Wiccan raised a force field as the Spider prepared to attack him with his mechanical legs. "Crap," Wiccan muttered when he saw another Scarlet Spider coming at him.

To his great surprise however the Scarlet Spider hit his partner instead. "Thought you could use a hand," Hulkling transformed back into himself.

"Did I ever tell you you're the best boyfriend ever?" Wiccan asked. "Let's finish this up." The street became covered in a cloud of steam making it impossible for them to see where their enemies were. "Great," Hulkling muttered.

X-23 used the cloud to her advantage and snuck up on a Scarlet Spider before stabbing him in the leg with her claws and punching him in the face. "It's a real shame you don't have spider senses, those would've been really helpful around now," X said before kicking him into the side of a building.

*Meanwhile on a nearby rooftop...* "Great. How'd that happen?" I asked rhetoriclly.

"Guess we'll have to go down there and look for them ourselves..." Pixie said.

"Yeah, I guess. Wait... the steam's starting to clear, give it a few seconds," I pointed out.

We didn't need to wait long though because a bolt of lightning struck the ground and cleared the steam as Thor Girl materialized. Both teams of Young Avengers stopped fighting and looked I looked at Pixie who grabbed my arm and teleported us in front of our team of Young Avengers.

"Play time's over, you're all under arrest," Thor Girl stated.

"I've got a better idea, let's play a new game," I suggested. "Hide and seek." With that Pixie teleported us away before any of Stature's Young Avengers had a chance to move.

"Did you guys seriously go and pick a fight with them?" I asked as we appeared back in the safehouse.

"Well yeah, we started the fight I guess but we didn't actually go out looking for Cassie's team," Eli explained.

I sighed with relief, "I was actually worried for a sec that I was gonna have to read you the riot act. Same thing happened to me... kinda. Some of the X-Men ambushed me and Molly. Pixie saved us then we dropped Molly off here," I motioned to the room where Molly was watching tv, "And then we came and got you guys."

"Looks like we owe Pixie one," Kate said.

"It's not a problem but if you insist I kinda need a new place to stay. I left the X-Men when some of them started working with S.H.I.E.L.D. We're supposed to be staying out of this but clearly that isn't happening so I left," Megan(Pixie) told us.

"Well the Runaways are clearing out so there should be room, plus I'm going with them for a few days with Miu," I told her.

"No way! You get to go to LA again?" Tommy complained.

"Yeah, only so I can actually spend a few days with my girlfriend uninterrupted. I saw her like 5 times all summer," I pointed out.

"Good point," Tommy agreed.

"Try not getting arrested while I'm gone."
