OfficialUSMWriter: That did get messy.
Sport21: Thanks, I tried to make it tense and funny. Not sure about the boxing gloves, that might end uglier. Odd, I'm not getting notifications for when you review yet I'm getting them for everyone else. Odd…oh well.

Chapter 20: Cat Got Your Tongue?
(New York City, Manhattan, S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, several minutes later)
Almost everyone was staring in shock.
(Guys…um…I seriously think me and Chomper Face just screwed ourselves over. *Gulps*)
Hulk grunted in pain, rubbing his face.
"I'm so sorry big guy! I…he…we…Please don't smash us." Spider-Man whimpered.
Death Cat rolled his eyes, growling softly in annoyance. Hulk stood up, shaking his head to remove his…discomfort. He opened his eyes, which narrowed at Spider-Man and Death Cat.
"E-Easy now, b-big guy! No need to act rashly!" Spider-Man stammered, fearfully.
"It's alright…this was a sparring session to work out your anger, I didn't expect this to be pretty. You already know what happens when I get angry." Hulk chuckled.
"Yeah." Spider-Man squeaked.
Hulk turned to Death Cat.
"You can really throw a punch, kid." Hulk said.
"Thanks." The mutant hybrid replied.
"I should be heading out. I think it would be best if you worked this out with one eye. Good to see ya, Bug Man. Good meeting you too, kid." Hulk said, then walked out.
Hulk began walking out the door, Wolverine standing by it.
"Not bad for a kid, isn't he?" Wolverine chuckled.
"Which one?" Hulk asked.
"The one with claws. You already know Web Head…this kid…he's something else. The poor kid, his…well…I won't bother you with the details." Wolverine answered.
"They call him a monster? Well, they use to call me one too, same as you." Hulk said.
"Look at us now." Wolverine chuckled.
"Yeah…look at us now. The jolly, green giant and the little, hairy man." Hulk chuckled.
Wolverine chuckled with his old friend. They had fought in the past sometimes, some of those times the fights were violent in nature.
"I'd like to talk to you, if you wouldn't mind." Logan said.
"I guess I could spare a moment or two." Hulk replied.
Wolverine nodded. They walked outside of the Academy.
"So what's this about?" Hulk asked.
"The kid…he's…well…I'm not sure about it…" Wolverine said.
"He reminds me of someone…" Hulk said.
Wolverine looked at him grimly at Hulk.
"…Same here…I just don't know if I should tell him…and if I do…I wouldn't know how to tell him…" Wolverine said.
"Who?" Hulk asked.
"I'm not sure you want to know." Wolverine answered.
Hulk sighed and nodded.
"The kid is in a rough spot…when this shit show is done…I…we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it. I just hope we get our vengeance. But things are getting worse than we'd hoped." Wolverine said.
Hulk looked at him in sympathy, having gone through fights with those who had hunted him in the past.
"I'm just worried about the kid. Both of us have been through so much shit we both know and don't know about…we're still well…you…the kid is just in the goddamn middle of this, and he's not getting a break…and if he does…it isn't long enough." Wolverine said.
"I don't know about him staying here." Hulk said.
"Director Fury has already tried to cage us up, it didn't work out. We have…a deal with him currently. But I don't know how long it will last." Wolverine said.
"Hopefully long enough for you guys to deal with whatever you're dealing with." Hulk said.
"We could use your help big guy, have the biggest big gun would be most appreciated." Wolverine chuckled.
"Sounds fun, but I've got other things to do. Maybe next time." Hulk said.
"Thanks for nothing, bub." Wolverine chuckled.
"See ya." Hulk said, then leapt away.
Wolverine scoffed, shook his head, and walked back inside. He walked back into the training room seeing Director Fury talking to both Death Cat and Spider-Man with the other students standing behind the Director. The man with the eye patch was not pleased with how things were happening, but he said the beginning of the sparring match was acceptable.
"Despite the fact no blood was needed to be drawn, the Hulk will heal. He's had much worse." Director Fury said.
"But that doesn't excuse…" Spider-Man started to say.
"Enough! I don't care if you don't like him! You are working together! You worked with Logan! So you will work with him!" Director Fury grunted.
Spider-Man turned to glare at Death Cat, but he was already walking away.
"Where are you going?" Spider-Man grunted.
"I know when and where I'm not wanted." Death Cat said, not even turning to look back at them while walking away.
Wolverine's eyes narrowed at the group.
"I'll catch up with you in a moment, kid." Wolverine said.
Death Cat nodded then walked out. Wolverine approached the S.H.I.E.L.D. group. Almost everyone looked nervous or even fearful.
"Trainings done for today." Wolverine grunted.
"It's done when I say it's done, Logan." Director Fury replied.
"We don't take orders from you. We're only here so we don't have to fight each other while we both go after Weapon X." Wolverine said.
Director Fury's one good eye narrowed in annoyance.
"Both of us are victims to those sick fucks. We will not let them get away with this!" Wolverine growled.
"By killing them?" Spider-Man said.
"For what they've done! They don't deserve to live!" Wolverine hissed.
"What about you two?" Spider-Man retorted.
"We don't enjoy what we do…but we know it's the only way of stopping them and all those allied with them!" Wolverine snarled.
"But you still do it." Spider-Man scoffed.
"if you think letting these pieces of shit deserve to live after to these other mutants! They've manipulated so many lives! To kill any who stand in the way of their sadistic goals! I will not let them get a damn slap on the wrist for what they've done!" Wolverine growled.
Wolverine growled, almost wanting to extrude his claws…but he didn't.
"Conversation's over." Wolverine grunted, then walked off to find Death Cat.
