Dancing with Cats
In the jungle areas near Rio…
Ava had made her way back to the city after Kraven had discovered her hut and nearby hiding places and had set up ambushes for her. She had had a few close calls with the hunter, but she was actively avoiding trying to bring him out to a confrontation.
The Jade Tiger Amulet was forcing her to revert to her primal instincts more and more each day, making her fear that she might lose herself to the Tiger, without the power to control her actions.
She was running out of options, and it didn't help that Kraven had tracked her to the outskirts of the city after he realized that she wasn't going to take the bait in the jungle.
By the dawn of the next day, she found a small truck garage on a back road that seemed to be closed on its day off to hide in.
She was thirsty, her lips dry, and in need of water after the chase back to the edges of Rio. In a fridge in one of the side-rooms of the garage, she found a partially cold bottle of water and gulped it down, examining her surroundings as she did so.
Tired, she leaned back on a wall and sat down. With her constantly on the run, it was getting increasingly harder and harder to find time to stop and rest.
For the moment, it seemed she had found time.
After massaging her feet, sore from the constant running and jumping, she slowly closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around her legs and slumbered.
Down the road, Kraven's hunting party stopped several miles west of Ava's location. Kraven had gotten out of his truck to examine a pair of human footprints on a patch of dirt several feet away from the main road.
"Boss," one of his scouts called out from the lead truck, "Someone at S.H.I.E.L.D. is on the phone for you."
Kraven rolled his eyes as he retreated from the dirt patch and back to the truck. Snatching it away from the scout, he pressed the phone to his ear.
"What do you want?" He angrily inquired.
"Now, now, Sergei. That's not the way to talk to your strongest supporter," a man's voice sharply answered.
"You've got me in the middle of the hunt. She is close."
"I see. Well, you better find her fast. My spy contact in R.O.G.U.E. tells me that Specter Haven, The Avengers, the X-Men, and Spider-Man's team are on their way to Rio. That will complicate things for our operations in that region."
"Once I have the girl's head on a dish and her amulet in my possession, then I can help you stop them," Kraven fervently claimed.
"You're running out of time, Kraven. I will send my men to secure our mutant/mutate camps in the region and begin to subject them to my master's will."
"Wait, h-he's coming?" Kraven's voice shook for a moment.
"He wants to accelerate the plan. Rio is in his crosshairs. The invasion of the city will commence soon. You have the day to find Ava Ayala or let her perish in flames along with the rest of the city."
With that, the phone call ended and Kraven hesitated to put it down, glancing over to his men.
"Find me a trail. I want her dead by the end of the day."
Outside the Vampiric League clubhouse…
Selena and Wren bought inconspicuous clothing so to not attract attention to themselves on their trip out into the jungle. Once they were ready, they headed over to the clubhouse and saw a formation of bikes stationed in front of the club, ready to head off on their blood run. Outside, Dracula and a few of his followers were waiting for them already.
He respectfully greeted them on their arrival.
"I was beginning to think you weren't going to honor our deal," Selena darkly remarked.
Dracula chuckled.
"That is offensive, my dear. I will bring the information you've provided to me to the rest of the Underground today. Collectively, we will make the decision as to how to deal with this… threat."
"Then we thank you, Lord Dracula, for your assistance in getting us to the location we need to be," Wren graciously responded.
"I just hope you both find what you are looking for. My men will take you as far out as a few miles east of your coordinates. The exact location is hidden deep in the brush of the jungle. Our bikes can't go through. Don't let the wildlife eat you."
"Thanks, we'll do our best," Selena sarcastically answered, "Good luck to you guys. You'll need it once the war shows up."
With that, they loaded up in the two separate sidecars attached to the middle two bikers in the 10-vampire formation. The crowds of the local populace watched as the formation drove off towards the principal highway out of the city.
Back on Alpha Base…
Hours before the rise of the sun on the Pacific Ocean, the teams readied up their gear, their weapons, and their plans tackling Rio. Director Hill went over the plans several times over, not getting an ounce of sleep, with Coulson, Steve, Tony, Professor X, and Phantom. The Super Electrode was ready to deploy, with another, more refined one on the way. They were going to modify it into the main engine drive on-board The Eidolon and activate it should the RSF show up.
"This better work, Tony," Steve remarked as the two Avengers marched off to brief their team.
"I hope so too. It'll be a short battle if it doesn't," Tony answered.
Wolverine, Gambit, and Professor X will take the X-Jet and begin scouring the locations of their suspected mutant/mutate camps and pinpoint the areas. Half of the Avengers will then move forward and help them in liberating those camps. Additionally, they hoped to find Wanda in these camps, someway somehow.
The other half will go directly to the city government and convince them to begin mass evacuations of the city. If not, they'll do so anyway. R.O.G.U.E. stationed five larger heli-carriers out in the ocean to facilitate the evacuation, and to not bring out the S.H.I.E.L.D. heli-carrier stationed within the city into a conflict.
Daredevil, Jessica, Colleen, and Frank will join Specter Haven on their rendezvous mission with the Underground, to which Black Widow was able to set up a meeting with at their nightclub. Formal wear mandatory. Deadpool also insisted on going and bugged Coulson until he allowed him to go with.
The Guardians would provide aerial patrol in case the teams needed a quick extraction in their new and improved Milano II, capable of space-travel, which was just a modified space-worthy Quinjet.
Spidey, Luke, Danny, and Sam would accompany them as well, to see if they had any information on the whereabouts of Ava.
While they waited for the Aven-Jet, the X-Jet, and the Eidolon to get prepped and ready to deploy, Phantom caught up with Peter in one of the lounges.
"I bet you're anxious," Phantom remarked upon seeing Peter sitting, shaking his knee.
"A little!"
Phantom sat next to him and subtly chuckled.
"I hope I'm there to see your reaction upon seeing her again. I know how much she means to you."
Peter slowly nodded, staring off at the Plexiglas window in front of them with a view of a coral reef.
"I'm just… I'm nervous as to what I'll say to her, you know? Like, will she still feel the same way? Will she hate me? Will she have met… someone else? I'm worried about that."
"I know how that feels," Phantom sympathized.
"Yeah but you lost Maria. It doesn't help my case here, man."
"Thank you for the reminder, web-head," the specter sarcastically answered, "No, I meant before my days at S.H.I.E.L.D., when I was in the Marines. I'd always wonder if Maria would be there for me at the end of every deployment. The letters helped when they could. But, I always had a shred of doubt lodged in my mind, never in my heart."
"I'm… I'm sorry that she's not with you anymore, Phantom,"
"What I'm trying to say, Peter, is that your love for her is here," he pointed at Peter's chest, "…in your heart. Your doubts are up here, in your head. No matter what happens in Brazil, your love for her will always be there, and that's something not even the universe can deny you. Ever."
Peter closely listened, understanding what the specter was trying to tell him.
"Thanks, Phantom. I'll… I'll try doing that."
He knew what Phantom was trying to tell him, and it helped his situation a little. Not really removing the whole cloud of doubt, but it made him feel confident in what he felt for Ava.
But, he wanted to change the subject.
"So, you and Fox?"
"What about it?"
"You've got great advice about relationships and all but I've yet to see you practice what you preach when it comes to her."
Unbeknownst to them, Fox was walking around the hallways, carrying a dress suitable for the rendezvous meeting with the Underground. She heard her name be called and she turned invisible and listened in.
"Fox is… a special woman, Peter. I care for her a lot as you and the rest of the world has unnecessarily observed…"
"…But?" Peter pressed on.
"…But it's what I feel for her that makes me fear having my heart shattered again. Or, for that matter, shattering hers. I've endured one heartbreak that drove me to working with the likes of Taskmaster, I don't know what I'd do if it happened again. And… I couldn't bear to break her heart if anything happened to me."
"…But, if she cares about you, then why not?"
"It's not that simple, Peter."
"Phantom, it is that simple. You're sitting here telling me about listening to my heart before my mind but you're sitting there living your life by your mind and not your heart."
"I… I just don't know yet, Peter. Perhaps… in time… I'll tell her how I truly feel."
"Well, we're running out of time, Phantom. The world's kind of ending, you know?"
"I know."
With that, Phantom left to prepare his own dress-attire to meet with the Underground. Fox contemplated on what she heard and returned to her own room as well.
Before Peter left the lounge, Luke and the rest of his teammates showed up.
"You guys got your suits ready yet?" Peter curiously asked upon seeing them.
Luke sighed, sitting back, relaxed on one of the couches.
"Something like that. They're trying to find material sturdy enough to match my size."
"Figures you'd need something like that! We needed to fix the doorways of our heli-carrier when we first joined up the team years ago because of your tall stature!" Sam joked.
"For the most part, yes, we all have our dress suits ready," Danny kindly answered Peter's question, "I believe yours is ready on-board the ship too."
"Man, I hate suits," Peter complained, "We'll have our costumes on underneath, right?"
"Duh, webs, of course!" Sam snapped, "Well, you guys do. I don't need one! Just need this here helmet, you see."
"Cheater," Luke murmured.
"Not even! Just a smart costume idea!"
"We can't all be cosmic warriors here, Sam," Peter remarked.
"Pfft, you guys are just jealous. You always were! Say, speaking of dress suits, you guys should've seen Danny over here gawking at Colleen when they gave her a dress!"
"She looked very beautiful in that dress, I cannot deny that,"
"You weren't staring at her front, Danny!"
The human fortune cookie slightly blushed.
"That's nothing," Luke sat up, "I saw the two of them laughing over lunch the other day in the mess hall. Danny was talking up a good game to make her giggle so much."
"Well, she is a lovely woman!" Danny protested.
"That's true," Sam enthusiastically agreed, "What about you, Luke? You and that Jessica chick like… banging? Or just kissy kissy terms?"
"Man, Jessica would rearrange your face for that type of smack, Sam," Luke humored, "She and I… we're just together. That's all I'll say on that subject."
"I remember you had a thing for Selena back when we were heading up Island M two years back," Peter brought up, "What happened with that?"
"You mean besides her just straight up disappearing?" Luke emphasized his question, "I moved on, web-head. There wasn't a whole lot of commitment or feelings in that one, but I still worry about where she might've gone nonetheless."
"That's true," Peter retracted the question, "What about you, Sam? Found anyone in your life?"
"Me? Pleeeeease, Parker. I'm doing just fine riding solo."
"He means that he has not found a woman willing to put up with him and his mountain of problems," Danny sarcastically joked.
They all laughed at Sam's expense.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up losers! If only Ava were here to tell you guys to shut up and say 'ugh, boys' or something along those lines!"
"Then web-head over here would just take her to a secluded room and they'd make out, completely voiding that!" Luke added.
"Oh boy, just you wait until he discovers the 'doing it' part," Sam laughed, crossing his arms.
"Who are you talking about, buckethead?" Luke questioned, "It's not like you've gotten any action!"
Sam neither confirmed or denied it.
Just then, the call went out and ordered everyone to the docking bays according to the team they corresponded with. The jets loaded up and exited the docking bays in formation and out towards the direction of South America. With their speed, they'd get there around dusk.
From the landing bays, Cable, Director Hill, and Coulson watched as the docking bays closed behind them, knowing that this would be their biggest joint operation yet.
"Godspeed, teams," Hill told them over their communicators.
Upon arrival, the X-Jet, carrying the X-Men, Vision, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Falcon & Ant-Man, would change its course to begin investigating the camps in the Amazon Rainforest a way's away. The Aven-Jet, carrying Captain America, Black Panther, Bucky, and Dr. Strange would go the opposite way, towards the government center of the city to appeal to their leaders to begin the evacuation process.
Black Widow remained on-board The Eidolon to serve as their liaison between them and the Underground, who had agreed to meet them.
Peter couldn't contain his nerves, anxious to be in the location where Ava is supposed to be. He knew she wasn't far away now and trembled in knowing that.
In the truck garage…
Ava awoke to the sounds of someone trying to crowbar their way through the garage door. She could hear boots stepping outside, as well as sensing Kraven's presence amongst them.
They'd found her!
On her feet, she snuck down to the ground and crawled to the rear door that led into the forest behind the garage. Her heart raced as she got closer.
Slowly opening the door, she peered over both corners to see if anyone was nearby.
Nobody.
She stepped forward only to step right onto a snare trap that tightened around her ankle and pulled her up into the tree hanging over the door's entrance.
"Shit!" she exclaimed.
Hanging upside down, she tried pulling up to cut the cable that held her by her right ankle, but it was reinforced wire. Hard to cut.
She heard a dark and familiar maniacal laugh nearby, followed by the slow clapping of hands.
Kraven emerged from the forest beyond, grinning from ear to ear.
"At last, the tiger has been caught. You're a sneaky one, Ayala."
"Let me go, Kraven! I swear, I'll rip your face off if you don't!"
"Touchy, touchy," he taunted as he approached her, looking up, "You've made me work to find you. Instead of hiding deeper into the jungle, you return here? My, my, you have become naïve."
"W-What do you want?!"
He gazed at the beaming green glow of the Jade Tiger Amulet wrapped around her neck, hanging down as though it was offering itself up for Kraven.
"What I've always wanted, Ayala."
"You're going to have to take it off my cold dead corpse!" she threatened.
Kraven chuckled as he withdrew a long, serrated silver dagger from his back.
"That's the plan. Now, stay still, this will only hurt for just a little bit."
He approached her, aiming to stab her right through the heart for a quick death. She panicked for a few seconds, knowing that she had only a second to react.
Kraven raised the dagger, ready to sink the dagger, but she swiftly slashed her claws across his face, drawing blood. He reached down to cover his face, giving her enough time to pull herself up and grab the cable with her hands.
She gripped it as tight as she could, climbing it while the cable dug into the skin of her palms.
"Shoot her!" Kraven ordered his men who was just now showing up.
They began firing off shots at her from their AK-47 style rifles.
She quickly got to the top of the tree and undid the cabling on her ankle, jumping off out of view into the patch of forest behind the garage.
"Don't let her escape!" Kraven growled.
"She's headed into the city, sir!"
"After her!"
That night in Rio…
The Eidolon landed in an abandoned lot on the far side of town and remained cloaked as to not attract attention. The Underground sent a limousine to take them to Black Cat's black-tie nightclub in the wealthy district of the city.
Phantom dressed up in a black suit with a black dress shirt underneath and a white tie. He wore the same color dress shoes as well. On his back, he had his sword sheathed and strapped, hidden underneath the suit.
He was waiting for the rest of the team to show up to the command deck. Peter, Luke, Danny, and Sam showed up wearing different colored suits: Peter a blue suit with a red tie, Luke a black suit with a yellow tie, Danny an olive-green suit with a yellow tie, and Sam with a black suit and a yellow undershirt and red tie.
They congregated to the side while Sam started roasting everyone's choice of dress suit.
"Hope this won't be like the clubs on Oceanside, eh, Cruz?" A familiar voice called out from behind him.
Frank appeared in an all-black suit.
"Frank. Haven't seen you in a suit since my wedding," Phantom greeted him.
"Yeah, I'm not liking this. I hate suits."
"You don't say? You armed?"
Frank opened up the coat to show an assortment of concealed handguns.
"Was that a serious question?" Frank joked.
Wolfe and Firewalker showed up from one of the side rooms on the command deck. Wolfe was wearing this dirty grey suit and hadn't even done his tie. Firewalker stayed classy and wore an all-black suit with a neon red tie.
"God. I can't believe you pricks are making me wear this," Wolfe complained.
"My only issue is that this shit ain't fireproof, son," Firewalker added, "I can't go flaming red in this!"
"Not to worry," Phantom assured them, "The Eidolon will deploy a cache with our gear the moment things go south."
"Which is a question of when, not if," Frank corrected.
Phantom agreed.
Daredevil ended up joining them in a black suit with a mask covering his head, which, wasn't out of place since Phantom continued to wear his mask as well. It just seemed like they were part of a theme.
Suddenly, the elevator lift opened, and the women filed out in their dresses, almost instantly catching the attention from everyone on the command deck.
Black Widow wore a more formal black dress than the others, with conservative shoes and a waist belt with the red hourglass clasp.
Peter and the others were wondering if Colleen had stolen Danny's heart with her olive green top and short black skirt with heels. She had her katana sheath grasped with her right hand but it almost seemed like her and Danny had planned on matching.
Jessica opted for simple black dress pants and a black top that covered her shoulders, looking like she was going to a business meeting. She rolled her eyes as she walked towards Luke with Colleen. It was obvious she didn't want to be dressed like that.
Lastly, was Fox,
who definitely stole the spotlight,
as well as Phantom's full attention.
She wore a form-fitting white dress that hugged at her curves and exposed her back and shoulders but was held up with two thick straps around at her neck. The dress stopped a few inches above her knees, showing her well-toned legs.
She carefully walked down on silver high heels and smiled when she saw her team.
Nobody could see it, but Phantom's jaw had dropped upon seeing her dressed so beautifully, it sent his heart madly racing.
"Wow, she looks really pretty," one of the female specialists observed.
"Yeah she does, now concentrate, Cruz," Frank murmured, "We've got work to do."
Fox walked up to the team.
"You look good, kid," Wolfe grinned ear to ear.
"Thanks, Wolfe. You look… stylish?"
"That's my style!" The hunter phantom laughed.
"Damn, girl, that dress is definitely rockin' you good," Firewalker added, "Specter Haven gonna enter that club in styleeee."
"You know it!"
Just then, a loud gunshot was heard from the other side of the command deck, prompting some of the specialists to withdraw their weapons. Everyone turned to see Deadpool in a black tuxedo, looking impatient, holding up a smoking gun.
"Relax, people!" He called out, "It's just a blank! Are we ready to go? This isn't America's Next Top Model now!"
The team started heading towards the ramp exit but Phantom took a quick minute to say something to Fox.
"You look… really beautiful, Fox," he mustered his courage to tell her.
She slightly blushed, playfully rolling her eyes.
"You don't look too bad yourself, tonto."
He couldn't take his eyes off her beaming hazel eyes, seeing that she had done her make up on. They seemed to sparkle.
"Hey, lovebirds!" Deadpool heckled, "There'll be plenty of time to shag later! Now let's go!"
"Ugh, I'm going to kill him," Phantom sternly murmured.
Fox giggled in response.
The team reached the front ramp and loaded up on the limousine that drove them out of the empty lot and towards the nightclub.
A little while later…
They reached the nightclub and filed out. Security at the nightclub practically rolled out the red carpet for them to exclusively enter the club ahead of the long line of well-dressed clubgoers who gawked at them as though they were celebrities.
Inside the Black Cat's nightclub, they entered a huge atrium of several open levels. The ceiling was filled with a mixture of neon strips and black club lighting. On the bottom floor of the atrium was the main dance floor, where hundreds of well-dressed people were dancing to M.I.A's "Bad Girls".
Exotic dancers were dancing on poles on the edges of the DJ's booth and the smell of smoke and alcohol filled the air and made Sam cough up a little bit.
Security escorted them to the highest level of the multi-story nightclub, where the music was shut out. They opened the doors to a sleek black circular table, where four well-dressed individuals sat.
Peter examined each of them closely upon entering.
There was a black-haired bearded man to the right of a beautiful, young blond-haired woman. To her left sat a young brown-haired girl, and another good-looking, brunette-haired, stern-faced woman to her left.
"Welcome, Natasha, Specter Haven, friends," the blond woman kindly greeted them, standing up.
The others around the table stood up with her in greeting.
"Thank you for taking the time to meet with us under these… interesting times, Felicia," Black Widow returned the greeting.
"Anything for allies to our cause. Please, sit."
Deadpool had his eyes glued to Felicia, seeing that she was wearing a little black dress that complimented her slightly tanned skin and well-toned body.
The team sat down around the table and security closed the door to the room on their way out.
"Introductions," Felicia started, "I am Felicia Hardy, Black Cat, to those who don't know me. I'm the leader of the Underground collective here in Rio. The collective is in charge of managing business operations pertaining specifically to mutants and mutates across this region."
"I am Lord Dracula," the handsome dark-haired man next to her greeted, "I run the flow of blood in this city. Vampire blood for human blood."
"Talk about a cliché…" Deadpool murmured.
"Hiiiii, I'm Doreen, but you guys can call me Squirrel Girl!" the teenage brown-haired girl happily greeted them, "I help out the young mutant or mutate kids without moms or dads get settled and help them find a home here! They do jobs here and there for the Underground to help them get supported!"
"Admirable," Phantom commented.
"And I'm Psylocke," the stern woman to Doreen's left greeted, "I speak on behalf of all the mutants in the region who are on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D."
"She's hot," Deadpool whispered to Frank, who almost shoved his face away.
Black Widow briefly introduced the members of the team and quickly forwarded the conversation to what they were there for. With the onslaught of Reaper's Forces coming to Brazil soon, they hoped to gather whatever allies they could from the Underground to aid in a push to stop the Reaper entity on Manhattan Island.
Peter quickly spoke up and added that they're looking for a woman named Ava Ayala, White Tiger, who was supposed to be in hiding somewhere in Brazil. The leaders of the Underground all glanced at Doreen upon hearing this.
"Was she about yay-tall, really tanned skin, really pretty, and long dark brown hair?" Doreen curiously asked.
"Y-yes! That's her!" Peter anxiously answered.
"Well, I've got good news and bad news," Doreen tried to calmly answer, "Good news is that she's here, alright. I helped settle her here a little over a year ago and found her a job and a place to stay at. Bad news is that… ever since Kraven showed back up, she's been on the run. We lost track of her weeks ago. I'm so sorry!"
Peter's heart did a jump and a fall after hearing that. He turned to Phantom.
"We need to find her, Phantom! She might have gotten caught! Damn it… that bastard, Kraven!"
"Settle down, Peter," Phantom calmly pleaded, "If she is here then we will address it directly after this meeting, I promise."
"Listen to him, son," Dracula added, "Kraven is a masterful hunter. My men have tried to stop him before but he's cunning, he knows how to ambush. You need to be ready to face off with him."
Danny placed a hand on his friend's shoulder to try and calm him down as the meeting continued.
Phantom then brought up that they're also searching for a woman known as Phantasm who is believed to be in the region. Dracula seemed to perk up upon hearing this, saying that she and another entity known as Grey Ghost approached him a day ago to secure transport out to coordinates out in the Amazon Rainforest. He briefly mentioned what she had told him about Reaper and his coming invasion as well.
"Is… did she look fine? Safe?" Phantom worriedly asked.
Dracula nodded.
"Her and her partner seemed fine to me. They were more worried about getting here," Dracula reached into his leather coat and pulled out a set of coordinates, handing them to Phantom.
Phantom's eyes widened as he realized where it was.
"What is it, tonto?"
"It's… it's The Archive."
"Are you certain?" Black Widow questioned.
Phantom nodded.
"But, what's left there?" Luke wondered.
"She didn't say," Dracula answered, "She only said that she needed to be there soon. That there was something there that would help against Reaper."
"Ain't that where they stuffed you for 16 years, Cruz?" Frank quietly asked.
"Yes, that's the place."
They spoke a little longer, adding what Dracula knew about the coming invasion into the mix. Natasha informed them about what Iron Man and some of the Avengers are conducting out in the jungle alongside the X-Men, which peaked Psylocke's attention. Liberation of these camps gained great favor with both her and Doreen.
Black Cat knew that there were things in motion beyond her understanding. She pledged the full support of the Underground in whatever they needed, adding that Steve Rogers should pull back from trying to contact the local government, as they largely won't help in evacuating the populace. They barely had control of the factions that truly controlled Rio.
They discussed the details further until Star-Lord got on the radio, interrupting them.
"Uhm, hey guys?"
"We're in the middle of something," Phantom answered.
"I know that. Just wanted to let you know that the S.H.I.E.L.D. heli-carry, ferry, carrier, whatever it's called… it just disappeared, out of sight."
"Wait, what?"
"Yeah. It's not there anymore and… Oh… shit (static)…"
"Quill? Quill?!"
The radio went silent into static.
On-board Vengeance…
Reaper watched as a red hologram of Earth appeared before him. On the South American continent, he watched as another wave of Sentinels descended from Asteroid M on the city of Rio de Janeiro.
