Chapter 19: The 'Jaune' Arc...
*Yawwn* Oh man, that was a nice break...um, where are we at again? You're at the Jaune Arc. Oh Christ, did we actually use that joke? Alright, on with the story.
Peter
A couple weeks had passed since making his deal with Blake, and Peter was already feeling good about himself. Thanks to his double training with both Blake and Yang, he's been able to really mix up his fighting, and even Yang has admitted to Peter being a bit of a difficult fighter, as she doesn't know what style he's going to use since his stance is so...unique. This has been great! Peter thought, There have been minimal crimes in Vale, I've had multiple training sessions now with Blake, and she says I'm really quite the natural! he smiled as another thought crossed his mind, I bet I could even take Iron Fist on in a fight. Peter continued on his way to the chem lab, where he had also spent a lot of his time upgrading his web shooters in secret, all the while making more web-fluid. Things seemed to be doing alright for him.
He got a message on his scroll from Blake, 'Hey, you gonna eat lunch or what? It was bad enough you weren't in Glynda's today, don't bail on us during our social time.' Peter chuckled at the irony and quickly made a 180 to go towards the cafeteria, "Good thing she said something, I probably would've forgot to eat today." he laughed at his foolishness, "You know, I should really abuse the buffet they have here, I get so hungry fighting crime, and then it's not like I get those calories back." he pinched the skin on his arm and frowned, "I was always scrawny, but I think I've lost weight since I've been here."
As Peter began to round a corner his Spider-Sense went off, and he didn't know why until he ran into someone. The women fell back, but before she hit the floor, Peter caught her by her hand. "Hey, watch it bozo!" she said in a commanding tone, Geez, I kinda wish I let you fall, Peter thought with a smirk.
"Sorry about that, it was an accident...honest." Peter apologized as he picked up her shades that fell off of her head when the two bumped into each other. He looked at the girl and her compatriots, she had brown hair that had one streak of orange in it, on top of her head was a black beret. She was wearing a black scarf around her neck that was on top of a tan long sleeve shirt with what Peter thought was a black armored girdle around her waist. She had black probably leather pants that had a slanted belt with ammunition on it. She also wore high boots and was carrying a case of some kind with ammunition as a strap.
Her teammates were a little different, one Peter recognized, he came to watch some of the first years fight, for some reason he always noticed him watching his matches. His name was Yatsuhashi Daichi, he wore a long short sleeved robe that was a pale drab green color. He also had a black cutoff shirt underneath that. Everything else about the guy screams Final Fantasy Peter thought with his one armored arm and long hooked sword. Even his huge size and quite nature. The other one, however, was a mystery. He wore a orange sleeveless shirt and had red hair and darker tone skin. The weird thing were his eyes, they were just white, it didn't look like there were any pupils, Wonder if he's blind, Peter thought, and if so, is his semblance an ability similar to the Daredevil's?
The girl snatched the shades and put them on quickly regaining her calm, cool composure, I've seen her before, Peter thought, but where? The girl smiled, "Oh hey, Parker right?" Peter straightened his body in surprise, What? How does she know me? I don't even remember if I know her! he was screaming mentally not knowing what was going on. The girl huffed in annoyance as her two teammates that were accompanying her stood idly by, she tilted her shades down to look Peter into his eyes, "It's Coco," Peter still had a slightly confused look, "Adel?" she continued.
"The singer?" Peter joked smiling afterward, causing Coco to groan.
"No, we are in Advanced Dust Use together? I was your partner last week." she said hoping to jog his memory. "You know. The second year?"
"Dust Use, Dust Use..." then it came to him, he remembered that day fondly. He remembered because he did all of the work while his "Partner" talked to Weiss about clothes, he never caught her name though so, she was easy for him to forget, "Ohhh, right, you were the girl that did nothing, while I got us an 'A'." Peter said in a slightly annoyed tone.
Coco frowned, Who does this guy think he is? Talking to me like that, "You could have asked for help." she spat, "I even offered, but you said 'nah'."
She had Peter on the ropes, but he wasn't taking this lying down, "I'm sorry, but honestly I think Weiss giving you fashion advice was a better idea, I mean, who wears shades indoors?" Oh, stupid mouth, I can't believe you have done this. You've seen some of these older years pick on first years for stupid things before. The incident in which he is referring too happened about a week or two ago. He didn't know how it started, but it ended with some third years picking a fight with the first years, since the third years pulled out their weapons and the first years decided it was best not too, Peter helped out the first years. Thankfully Glynda showed up only a little bit after he intervened, if things started getting hairy he didn't want to have to hurt them that bad.
Coco looked at him seriously, her eyes staring into his soul. Her lips began to quiver, then smile, then she broke out in laughter. "Uhhh, what?" Peter asked.
"I didn't think you had it in you, to talk to someone like me. But I can see that you'll back up what you say with jokes!" she kept laughing, "Weiss? Give me advice? Are you joking? She was asking where I had gotten my top!" she patted Peter on the shoulder, "Well this has been real fun pal, don't be a stranger. If you want to tell more jokes come by anytime. Just know that next time, the punchline will be aimed at your face!" Coco walked away with her teammates following behind, before the one with red hair stopped and gripped Peter's shoulder.
"She let you off easy, don't expect it to happen twice, even though we are only a year above you, we still ask for respect." he then left with Peter getting a shiver down his spine, Wonder what her problem was? I mean, other than me.
While Peter was dealing with the 'Just ran into Coco, hope it doesn't come to a brawl' fiasco, his friends were sitting in the cafeteria, trying to enjoy their lunch, or catch up or tell stories. "There we were," Nora started her story with everyone from JNPR and RWBYS, minus Peter, listening...kind of, to her tale, "it was the dead of night!"
"It was day." Ren interrupted. Yang leaned in as she was intently listening, so mesmerized by Nora's story, Ruby was eating cookies, Blake was reading a book, Jaune was playing with his food, Pyrrha was eating a salad, and Weiss was doing her nails.
"We were surrounded by a pack of wild Ursai!" Nora continued.
"They were Beowolves." Ren chimed in.
"Dozens of them!!"
"Two of them."
"In the end, they were no match, and Ren and I made a boatload of Lien selling Ursa skinned rugs! Haha!" Nora finished.
Ren sighed, "She's been having this dream for almost a month straight." Pyrrha and Ruby decided to divert there attention from the rest of the group to Jaune, who looked down in the dumps.
"Hey Jaune, are you okay?" Pyrrha asked. Jaune looked at Pyrrha with a defensive look.
"Yeah, I'm fine." he responded.
"Yeah well you just seem a little not okay." Ruby added. Making Jaune fluster.
"Guys, I'm fine. See?" Jaune gave a thumbs up and put on an unconvincing smile.
"Jaune that Cardin has been giving you a hard time all year." Pyrrha reminded him.
"Who? Cardin Winchester? He's not so bad." Jaune defended.
"He's a bully." Ruby said sternly.
"Please, name one time he's ever 'bullied' me." Jaune mentioned.
"Well there was that time with your shield." Ren mentioned.
"Every time he knocked your books out of your hands." Ruby mentioned.
"And that time he shoved you in your locker and you went flying off." Peter, who seemed to come out of nowhere, said.
"Augh Peter, when did you get here!?" Ruby asked startled.
Peter took a bite of his apple, "Oh, I've been here."
Pyrrha continued with the Jaune problem, "Jaune, if you need help, just ask us." Jaune sighed.
"Oh, oh, we could break his legs!" Nora exclaimed.
"Guys, it's fine. It's not like I'm the only person he gives a hard time." the group all turned to Cardin's team. Cardin Winchester, one of the bigger students in the first year had Red hair a black shirt that was covered by Arthurian armor, or at least that's how Peter saw it. Cardin and his team were currently picking on a bunny Faunus girl, with Cardin pulling her ears. The group could tell she was in pain through the constant cries and saying "Ow" Peter saw this and immediately thought of Flash Thompson, only difference is that even Flash wasn't a bigot. Peter put his apple on the table and approached the group.
Ruby noticed this and tried to call out for him, "Waugh, Peter, what are you doing?!" but Peter was already by Cardin. The group saw that Peter did something to have Cardin let go of the girl, because now Cardin was completely focused on Peter. If the group payed closer attention they could hear what was going on.
"-some kind of Faunus lover?" Cardin said to Peter causing him and his team to laugh.
"No, I'm just not some soulless ginger who feels he has to hurt pretty girls to make himself feel better." Peter retaliated.
"What did you say?" Cardin asked seething in anger.
"You heard me Repeater, take your friends and leave this girl alone."
"Alright, whatever you say," Cardin smiled and looked at his teammates before returning to Peter's gaze, "Puny Parker." Cardin began to laugh and soon his team followed suite. Oh my God, does that name just follow me?
"Oh no," Yang pinched the bridge of her nose, "those guys are so screwed." she smirked.
"Oh, real original, like I haven't heard that over 616 times." Peter chuckled, "You know why don't you and your monkey friends just leave now, actually, scratch that, I can't call you guys monkeys. That would be an insult to monkeys everywhere." that joke made th girl Peter was protecting stifle a giggle and Cardin just gritted his teeth. "Come on, I'll take you to your team." as Peter turned around and grabbed the girl's arm his Spider-Sense went off, Oh, this idiot. Quickly Peter moved his head slightly to his right to avoid Cardin's punch, he then quickly jerked his head back to headbutt Cardin in the nose.
"Augh!" Cardin yelled out as he held his nose, his aura protected him, but is still felt like he got hit by a brick. Cardin looked at Peter who was giving him a smug smile.
"You know, you're not really good at this." Peter said with a chuckle as he moved the girl behind him. Cardin growled as he sent a punch to Peter's chest, and even though Peter knew the danger was coming, he found it strange that his Spider-Sense didn't alert him to move, but following base instincts that he gained from his multiple spars with Cap back on Earth, Yang here, and Deadpool...always, he simply just moved and dodged the attacks that Cardin would throw. Man, he throws punches, like, really slow, Peter thought as he kept laughing at Cardin getting more and more irritated. Cardin threw a punch directed to the center of Peter's face and he leaned back putting himself at a ninety degree angle. Like Neo, in the Matrix.
Yang's eyes widened, "He can do that? How can he do that?" Blake smiled, It's because he has a bit of a bug problem. she thought to herself with a chuckle.
When Peter came back up he didn't have time to move from Cardin's next punch that landed directly on Peter's chest, and the girl's winced. Cardin however pulled his hand back and was holding his knuckles which were now red. Peter looked at Cardin, Wait, is that why my Spider-Sense wasn't alerting me? I didn't feel anything. "Holy crap!" Peter started laughing, "That's it? Oh, and here I thought getting hit was gonna hurt!" Cardin kept rubbing his knuckles as he growled at Peter making fun of him. "Tell you what dude, why don't we not do this. Okay? We'll draw each other in Glynda's eventually, amiright?" Cardin slowly backed away and left with his team without saying a word.
"How did you do that?" Ruby asked.
"Ugh, he obviously used his aura to protect himself dunce." Weiss responded.
"I wouldn't be so sure, Peter is the one of us that actually doesn't know how to activate his aura shield." Ren mentioned and the others nodded.
"I told you," Peter smiled, "I have a weak aura, I guess I've just gotten used to taking hits from Yang." Peter turned to the bunny girl, "Hey you-" but she was gone, "Oh." he frowned.
"Ooo, what's the matter Peter, have a crush?" Yang teased.
"No, I juat wanted to make sure she was okay." Peter shrugged, "Hey Jaune you-" but he was gone too, "What the hell is it with people and bailing on me." Peter said under his breath. He picked up his apple took another bite and threw it away. Whatever. Peter left the cafeteria because he really only liked talking to Jaune, Ruby asked a lot of questions, Yang only teased him, Weiss could care less, Blake always has her head in a book, Ren doesn't talk, Nora is...Nora and Peter only talks to Pyrrha when they jog together, but it's been a lot of questions about his universe and it's been boring to answer for him.
As Peter rounded the corner to head to his next class he ran into Coco Adel, literally. Peter once again caught her before she fell, "You know, we really need to stop running into each other." he joked.
"Awe, just the person I wanted to see." she mentioned as she wrapped her arm around his shoulder.
"Uh, what?" Peter asked.
"Shh, shh, shh, child, all will be revealed soon." they continued walking and Peter felt uncomforable, not because of the gesture Yang did stuff like this all the time. No, he was uncomfortable with the height difference, he was already self conscious when around Pyrrha, but Coco being taller than him by a full four inches was bothering him too. He glanced down quickly and noticed her heels, Oh, okay. But that still makes her probably two inches taller than me! Coco led Peter to a room marked CFVY on the door.
"Um, what?" Peter asked again.
"Shut up." Coco opened the door to the room to reveal the rest of her team.
"Oh God, your gonna beat me up?" Peter asked genuinely concerned.
"No, we want to thank you." Yatsuhasi explained. Peter was silent.
"You see," Coco started, "you helped our teammate, Velvet, in the lunchroom."
"The bunny girl?" Peter asked and received nods from the team, "Oh, it was nothing." he said with a wave of his hand.
"Nonsense!" Coco exclaimed, "Here, take this basket of goods," she handed him a basket with muffins, "some coffee," Yatsuhasi handed some expensive coffee, "a badge that officially makes you one of our 'in' group," she handed him a badge with all their contact information, "and a kiss." she kissed him on the cheek and scooted him out the door. "Bye now, take care of Velvet." she said before she slammed the door.
Peter stood in the hall with the basket in hand, "What the hell just happened?"
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Peter walked into Ooblek's class with his basket of sweets. What am I gonna do? he saw Velvet in the front center row, Well, I guess they said watch over her Peter walked to Velvet ignoring Blake trying to call him. "Hey Velvet." Peter smiled as he sat the basket he had on the desk and sat next to Velvet. Velvet looked at him and looked all around until she landed her eyes back on him.
"Me?" she asked with a blush.
"Well yeah, you ARE Velvet, aren't you?" she nodded slowly and sat in silence as Peter tried, and failed to start small talk. "So, how are your classes?" no response, "Is it fun being a second year?" still no response, "Do you like your leader? I'm a little torn on her myself." only a slight smile and a grunt, "What's it like being a Faunus? I mean, aside from the discrimination stuff."
Velvet closed her note book, took a deep breath and turned to Peter, "You don't shut up, do you?" she asked in what was possibly the nicest way ever.
Peter smiled, "Eh, depends on who you ask."
Behind the two Blake slightly growls as Velvet laughs at Peter's comment. "Easy Blake, he's just being friendly." Pyrrha mentioned, Blake turned and gave her a glare, "Or, you don't feel that way about him." Pyrrha said laughing nervously. The two saw Jaune walk in and Peter call him over, the three sat by each other and they saw Velvet laugh at something Jaune said while making introductions and Pyrrha balled her fists crumppling a piece of paper in the process.
Blake smiled, "Easy Pyrrha, maybe he's just being friendly." Blake said in a mocking tone.
Velvet was laughing, "I can't believe that was your first impression with some of your friends!" Velvet talking about the 'Puking' incident that Peter talked about.
"Look, air sickness is very common." Jaune defended.
"Yeah, and so is not looking over the edge when flying." Jaune stammered his words and ultimately couldn't get a sentence out.
Class was about three quarters done and it was about what you'd expect. Jaune was quickly falling asleep Velvet, as Peter found out, is a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to notes and would have a miniature panic attack when she couldn't hear, see or remember what Professor Ooblek was saying. Doctor. Peter was just trying to pay attention because they were talking about the Great War, Art is important, though I guess it's safe to say that the TWO we had, were much worse.
Behind the trio was Cardin Winchester, who noticed Jaune wasn't sitting in front of him today, so he tried taking pot shots with spitballs instead.
"Now who among you have been treated badly due to your faunus heritage?" Ooblek asked as this question pertained to the lesson. Not many raised their hands, but Peter did see Velvet raise her hand, and couldn't help but feel sorry, I may not know how you feel, but I have had friends that are going through the same thing you are. Peter thought, "Dreadful, absolutely dreadful, it's this sort of of ignorance that leads to violence. I mean-I mean, just look at the White Fang!" Ooblek said as he zoomed around the room. Peter thought he was a strange man, with his green, messy hair and unkempt shirt, not to mention the two different shoes he was wearing today, but he couldn't argue with his intellect. On top of that he is a former Huntsman, so Peter naturally thought he was stronger than his students. "Now who can tell me on what could be considered the turning point for the war?" Weiss raised her hand, "Yes Ms. Schnee?"
"The battle of Fort Castle." she answered with a smile.
"Yes, yes exactly! Now, who can tell me the crucial mistake that General Legume made when attacking the faunus?" Cardin shot a spitball at the back of Jaune's head that actually landed and he shot up from surprise, "Ah! Mr. Arc, finally contributing to class I see, what is your answer?"
Jaune gulped, Oh no! Why didn't I study? How could I forget something like this? ...Okay, I would totally forget something like this but- "The...answer...to what the Faunus have...to beat General Legume was..."
"Any day Mr. Arc, we are on a tight schedule." Ooblek said tapping his watch.
Peter covered his mouth to imitate a yawn, "Nightvision." he whispered.
"Uh...um, Nightvision!" Jaune said proud of himself.
"Excellent work...Mr. Parker." Peter shrugged, "The next time I ask a student for an answer, I expect them to answer, not one of their friends." Peter gave a two fingered salute and nodded.
"Oh, go figure, the Faunus lover knows all about them." Cardin mocked.
Peter turned his head towards Cardin, "I wouldn't say I know more about them. Just enough to know it's dumb to pick on one when the fight that follows will be one you can't win." Peter smirked.
Cardin slammed his fist in anger and stood up, "What'd you-"
"Mr. Winchester take your seat." Jaune snickered at Cardin's expense, "I wouldn't find this funny Mr. Arc, I need to see both you AND Mr. Winchester after class." the class gave a subtle 'ooo' and Jaune hung his head.
"Ah, damn." he whispered.
Ooblek looked at his watch, "It appears we are out of time students, please remember to read the assigned chapters and do the essay portion of the homework, I've had too many people forget to do the essays and it brings their grades down tremendously!"
The class was walking out and Peter and Velvet walked passed NPR, "You guys coming?" he asked.
"I'm gonna wait for Jaune." Pyrrha said and the others nodded.
Peter looked at Velvet, "Come on Velvet, Blake and I will walk you back to your dorm."
Blake cocked an eyebrow at Peter volunteering her without her approval, "What, you can't go it alone?"
Peter leaned in and whispered, "I don't want people to think we're dating, if you're with me it should be different." Blake was confused but agreed anyways.
The trio walked to the other side of campus where they saw Team CFVY training. "Hello guys, I've returned." Velvet called out. The rest of her team turned to her.
"Velvet, sweetie," Coco said as she approached the trio, "I see your new boyfriend walked you home." Velvet blushed and Blake frowned, "Oh...I see that there's another girl...awkward."
"Nah, it's part of my religion, I can have up to five mates at once." Peter joked and the three looked at him, Velvet was covering her eyes with her ears to avoid embarrassment, Blake nudged his shoulder and Coco was getting uncomfortably close with a seductive lip bite, "kidding, kidding!" Peter defended, "Man, I haven't felt that awkward since the time I gave a girl CPR and she slipped me tongue."
Coco laughed at his comment, "So you DO get around!"
"Only after they have a couple of drinks, or if they think I'm someone else, like, if I wear a mask or something."
"Oh man, you are just too much, I almost regret not going after you." Coco lowered her shades and sent a wink.
Peter nervously laughed, "No that's okay, my luck with girls isn't great."
"Aren't you in a dorm full of girls?" Velvet asked.
"Yeah, and I have to close my eyes when I walk around the room in the morning, or wake up earlier."
"Oh, so hard." Coco mocked with a pouty face.
"Yeah it is pretty hard." Blake mentioned and Coco sent her a grin that made Blake blush immediately, "N-Not like that! I wouldn't know this guy changes in the bathroom!"
The group was silent now and Peter could taste the awkward in the air, "Yeah, so things got weird, Imma leave."
"Wait!" Coco grabbed his arm, "Thank you again, I hope our teams see a lot of each other, maybe I'll even convince Goodwitch to have us spar." Peter and Blake nodded and left.
"Speaking of sparing." Blake mentioned and she cocked an eyebrow with Peter, which he picked up on immediately.
"I'll call Yang a-"
"No!" Blake blurted out and regained composure instantly, "I mean, let's just train, you and I. You could use your abilities."
Peter frowned, not really seeing the sense in that scenario, "But Blake, I'm trying to learn a new skill, not use the ones I've perfected." Peter's logic made more sense to him then Blake's, I mean, what's the point of just the two of us sparing if I have to learn from Yang too.
Blake gave a blank stare and responded with a nervous laugh, "Yeah, right, duh. It just makes sense." Peter smiled and walked towards the dorm, but what he didn't see was Blake frown, Oh, Peter you oblivious fool. Blake thought as she too followed Peter back to the dorm.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Peter walked back into the dorm to find Yang and Ruby and Weiss playing Jumbling Towers with Blake's books. Naturally he held back a laugh as to not be rude.
Ruby was concentrating extremely hard and Peter could swear she was sweating, "Come on, come one," Ruby slowly pulled out a book and the whole tower collapsed leading the other girls to cheer, "NO!!" Ruby yelled.
At that moment Blake walked in and at first wasn't sure what was happening, "Peter when are we- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY BOOKS!!"
"Ummm...Jumbling Towers?" Yang said sheepishly. Blake could only sigh.
"Come on." she waved Yang and the three went to the rooftop to train, on their way there they passed Jaune who was looking sort of solomn.
"Hey Jaune, you feeling good dude?" Peter asked.
"All good." Jaune smiled and gave a thumbs up.
Peter looked unsure at first but smiled anyway, "Okay then!" Peter, Blake and Yang went up to the roof to begin their, well Peter's, training.
Deadpool
"Oh, good to see we weren't forgotten about!" Yeah, seriously.
"Deadpool!" Roman called.
"What is it Mr. Haddock?" Deadpool asked with an almost William Shatner delivery.
"Wha? Nevermind, look, Electro is getting on my nerves and he's not exactly playing by the rules."
Deadpool cocked an eyebrow, "What do you want me to do?" Kill him-er- I mean, silence him...Yeah, that'll work.
"Take him out." Roman said with a throat slice.
"Woah, woah, WOAH! That is too far Sunburst."
"Then what should we do, all mighty mercenary?"
Deadpool had to think for a moment, Wait, why don't we- "I'm thinking we make a call, and have some Hunters handle him. This way we don't get any bad looks from everyone else, and we don't get our hands dirty."
Roman thought over the proposal and nodded, "That's not bad Wade." he took a puff of his cigar, "Make the call." Deadpool gave a salute and pulled out his scroll.
"Hello, Glynda Goodwitch? Yeah, it's me Deadpool. I have some information for you..."
Peter
When the Peter, Yang and Blake returned after training Peter was shocked to see Mrs. Goodwitch waiting at their door. Ruby poked her head out and pointed at the trio, Goodwitch turned and called Peter over. "I'm not in trouble am I? 'Cause, that drawing was NOT mine!" Goodwitch deadpanned at Peter for trying to make a joke, "Okay, not funny, I get it."
"Come." was all she said as she walked away.
"She said Ozpin was looking for you Pete, you better go." Ruby mentioned and Peter nodded in appreciation.
Catching up with Glynda, Peter remembered why he didn't like her: she didn't talk! It was like having a conversation with a brick wall, Well I guess she is pretty STONE faced. he joked mentally. "Ozpin has requested your assistance on something." she finally said.
Peter cocked an eyebrow, "What, does he need more coffee?" Peter joked and he swore he saw Glynda's lips ever so slightly purse upward. The two entered the elevator.
"No, and change into your suit." she pushed the button that led to Ozpin's office. Peter shrugged and did as he was told and pressed the center of his chest to turn into his Spider-Man outfit. When the doors opened Spidey was shocked to see Team CFVY in the room as well, "I've retrieved the final piece." Glynda said while tapping her scroll. Ozpin turned around and smiled.
"Hello Slider-Man, glad to make your acquaintance again." Ozpin smiled as he took a drink from his mug.
"Um..." was all Spidey could say as he pointed to CFVY.
"Ah, yes. I've called on your help with a mission my second years will be enduring. Against an enemy who I'm sure you know."
Coco approached Spidey with her hand out ready for a handahake, "Hello there Spider-Man, name's Coco, leader of Team CFVY and we can't wait to assist you on our mission." Spidey shook her hand and she whistled, "Damn, despite your small-ish size, you've got a hell of a grip."
Spidey cocked a lense, "Um, thanks? So...do...you?" Coco smiled and now Velvet was the one to talk.
"How did you do that?" she asked.
"Do what?"
"Your eye thing, with your mask." Velvet said pointing to Spidey's lense.
Spidey leaned in close and whispered, "Ancient super hero secret." making Velvet frown in annoyance.
"Ahem," Goodwitch gained the attention of the group, "We have reason to believe that one of your rogues gallery is stationed at the Vale power grid."
"Power grid?" Spidey asked.
"Yes the the city of Vale runs off of a power grid that harnesses Dust and powers the whole city. If it were to fall the whole city would be without power for who knows how long." the one with the red hair mentioned.
"Thanks, uhhh..." Dude, what's his name?
"Fox." he mentioned.
"Oh. Is your first name Grey?" Spidey asked.
"No, it's Fox."
"Oh."
"The tip came from your mercenary ally, so it is rather reliable." Goodwitch continued.
"Agreed." Spidey said with a thumbs up.
"For this mission we would appreciate it if you could be a team player Spider-Man. So listen to Ms. Adel, she may be young, but she is just as qualified to be a leader as any."
"I hope so." he joked, getting a tap on the shoulder by the woman in question.
"Now, any questions?" Spidey raised his hand and Goodwitch sighed, "Yes, Spider-Man?"
"Can I use the bathroom before we go? I've had to pee like, all day." again Goodwitch sighed and she pointed Spidey to a bathroom. He gave the 'OK' and went to do his buisness.
"He's an odd one." Yatsuhashi mentioned.
"No kidding." Coco agreed.
"His scent is familiar." Velvet mentioned gaining the attention of her leader, but that would have to wait as Spider-Man returned.
"All right!" he deepened his voice, "Auto-bots, transform and roll ou-KUAGH GUAHAH." he coughed, "Oh God, remind me to NEVER be a voice actor!"
The team all nodded and they left for their mission, all of them receiving an update on their scrolls.
'Status Update, Team Name: CVFYS'
'Objective: Search and Destroy'
"You've heard it from the top guys," Coco started, "like it or not, we're a team now. Eh, Spider-Man?" the group got on the Bullhead and Spidey gave them a thumbs up and began playing music on his scroll.
Music Que: Paralyzed
"So, do you know who we are up against?" Velvet asked.
Spidey was silent for a moment before he could come up for a definitive answer, "Don't know, for all wee know it could be a trap set up by Roman Torchwick." the others nodded, "Best case scenario, it is the Electro."
Velvet blinked a few times, "And the worst case scenario?"
"What?"
"She asked what the worst case scenario would be." Coco repeated.
"We all blow up right now, never to be seen again." Spidey said rather dryly.
"Why do I get the feeling you're serious." Yatsuhashi mentioned.
The Bullhead landed and the team approached the front entrance to the Power Grid, "No opposition, something isn't right." Coco said as she tried to open the door. Locked. "Well, we could find a key...split up, Velvet you check East, Yatsuhashi and Fox check West, I'll check South and Spi-" Coco turned to see that Spider-Man was gone, "Where the hell did he go?" in that moment ths door from the other side opened and out came Spidey.
"Hey guys, doors unlocked." Coco looked in disbelief and was about to ask how he got in, but Spidey beat her to it, "Skylight." he said pointing to the open window that he entered through.
The team traveled through the Grid looking for any kind of opposition, only to find none. Even the security cameras were out! "Weird," Velvet mentioned, "why are the cameras all out?"
"Because someone is already here." Spidey mentioned already putting two and two together. The team reached a door that was slightly ajar and voices could be heard.
"You fool, you think you could betray me and get away with it? Well not anymore, I'm tired of being the butt of the joke, tonight I show you just how scary I can be." Spidey recognized the voice immediately, it belonged to Electro, no surprise there since this is like a power plant.
The other voice was also recognizable, a little too recognizable, "Look man, I know you're pissed, hell if I were you I'd be pissed too. You know since you're like a D-list villain and all." Deadpool Spidey thought.
"Shut up, shut up! I will not stand for this!"
"Well you're gonna have to because I think this place is out of chairs." Deadpool quipped.
"What did I just say!" Electro sent a volt of electricity at Deadpool and the whole team could hear him scream in pain.
"Is this torture, or did I just walk in on one of your 'Fifty Shades of Gray' sex dungeons?" Spidey quipped, announcing his presence.
"Spider-Man? Oh, this is too perfect!" Electro laughed. Spidey tilted his head in confusion, "Because of this," Electro placed his hand over a terminal and absorbed all of the electricity inside of it and Spidey's Spider-Sense told him that Electro just got a Dust fueled upgrade, "I am more powerful than ever!" Electro's classic outfit was now changed to his whole body turning blue, "Now, I am Ultimate Electro!!" he laughed harder as he began to charge up his power.
"Hey look, Doctor Manhattan!" Deadpool quipped.
"Hey Spidey, what do we do?" Coco asked.
"We pray now...a lot."

That was a bit time consuming. Well here's the new chapter for you guys. I don't know if it is fitting, but I've been wanting for Spidey to team up with CFVY for awhile now, especially against Electro. Will they have an easy time? Well, who knows.
