Chapter Thirty-Six: Is This a Game?

Peter's POV

I dodged a punch from one of the L.M.D.s before I gave two back in his jaw knocking him down. I shot my web to go swinging to get another one which I got down easily.

I shot two webs at two bots pulling the two together knocking them down as well hearing Danny say they're simplistic but entertaining after he knocked one down to. I heard Nova ask if we're that good because he's barely breaking a sweat 'something's wrong' I thought when Nova said that, he's right when he said that and this is supposed to be training.

"Something's wrong their eyes are purple" I said when four came up, Nova said it's time for Round 2 before he was on the ground because of one of them. I heard White Tiger say something's wrong because they just turned deadly making me sigh.

"I thought I just said that" I told her before I heard Danny say that we should retreat to assess something before the Training Room was on Lockdown. "Can't do that Iron Fists so might as well use brawn" I told him before Luke said that he's fine with that.

I jumped into the air when I was about to get Lasered by an L.M.D. before I shot a web which was good even if I got pulled to him by him. I side sweeped it's legs before kicking it's back so he went flying.

I shot two webs at his back before I pulled down slamming him into the ground making him smoke. He got up though which I didn't like before I heard Fury or what looks like Fury say that the session's over.

We went into the Ready Room before he told us that this was a 'test' by the Techno Terrorist Arcade who is apparently a Mutant. His Manifesto hit the Internet yesterday stating his 'childish' and 'deadly' intent before he said not to worry because they have his seasoned pro on it and will be arriving soon.

He said we only have twenty-four hours before he cracks the code for Nuclear Missiles which is what Danny had to ask about because he never said what until he was asked. Ava asked how serious this is before 'Fury' said Arcade was going to launch them at various global targets to start World War III as a sort of sick joke before Captain America came in saying it won't happen if he has a say in it.

Nova said the living legend returns before 'Fury' said he won't be living for long shooting at him. "Knew it" I said under my breath catching my teams' ears as well as Captain America's.

"What are you talking about Peter?" I heard Ava ask making me sigh "that's an L.M.D. not Fury" I said before I saw some Agents come in so I ran over to Captain America and the others followed. I saw the L.M.D. appear before it turned back to Fury's facade laughing at the same time before I heard Nova ask if anyone else was creeped out.

Captain America, the two Agents, and I were the only ones to not raise our hands at that. It turned back into an L.M.D. before a screen came up with Arcade's face on it as well as the decoded message that's required to send off the Missiles.

Captain America asked why he's doing this before Arcade asked if we're having fun yet which is weird. "Think that'd be a no but do you know about me?" I asked him before he said he does and that he's surprised I'm not hiding.

He asked if anyone likes fireworks before some were set off on his screen getting Power-Man to ask if this was a game or something to him. Arcade said that he takes his games 'deadly serious' before he said 'and Cerberus…' but was cut off by Fury making me frown.

I heard Fury say that he really needed that before we went up to the landing of the Tricarrier. "We don't have time for Diplomatic Channels but you'll be taking Spider-Man with you since he seems to be able to tell the difference between real and fake" I heard Fury say and I was surprised that I get to go with him.

"Just like old times except I get a partner, come on Spider-Man" I heard Captain America say and I nodded before I went with him into his Jet. The Jet got close to the water and I wondered why but didn't ask before I saw a city that looked golden with shadows at the edges.

It was beautiful so I asked if we were there yet "Arcade" I growled when my Spider Sense blared in my ears. "We're in danger then" he asked me making me look to his steering wheel which decided it didn't want to be used by Captain America anymore as it receded.

I heard Arcade tell Captain America something but I didn't pay attention because it didn't concern me. He told me to strap in so I did before I asked why Arcade's doing this but he answered by saying he's trying to crash the plane making me sigh.

"I know that I mean about why he acts so childish? Like everything's a game?" I said but he didn't answer only telling me to hang on. I didn't hang on but I did stay in my seat when they were catapulted out of the Jet which was fun before I heard Captain America tell me to unclip on his mark.

I saw him point down so I looked down to see three Jets coming at us before I unclipped when he said 'now' jumping down in the process. Captain America said to follow his lead so I did putting my arms at my side before I saw him catch a ride on one of the planes.

Instead of doing that though I just shot a web at a plane crashing it before I dodged some shots jumping on the one below me. He told me I have the idea before I told him it wasn't that big of a deal opening the Web Gliders before I landed right next to Captain America.

He told me to brace for more enemies and I nodded before he said to shadow him. "We cleared the level already Captain" I said when he walked past me before he said that he knows what a game looks like and this isn't one.

I shot a web swinging towards him before he told me it's time to fly silent before I landed hearing him tell me to follow close now. He told me to wait here until he says so and I saluted since I can read hand signs as well which he kept showing an impressed look at just like last time.

He ran across the street stopping at a door before he raised his hand so I silently ran over to him. He told me that the signals say this is the place before I nodded not smelling anything but bots and Wolverine which I almost groaned at.

I heard slicing before I walked in following Captain to see an L.M.D. being slashed by Wolverine before two others were slashed and six crashed through the window. I heard Wolverine say that Captains been upping his game before I asked Captain if he was taking that and he nodded running forward.

Wolverine punched three times before jumping and pinning Captain to the floor before he was kicked into the wall. "Do you guys really have to fight now of all times?" I asked them before Wolverine put his claws away asking what Captain America smells like.

"Cinnamon Aftershave and Vibranium" I answered simply before he nodded asking what he smells like then making me shrug. "Snow and Adamantium with a hint of fast food, I know the last time we met you had fast food wrappers all over your room but is that all you eat?" I asked him before he had his claws in front of my face.

"How'd Captain America get stuck with you by the way?" he asked me making me shrug "I could smell the difference between Fury and an L.M.D." I said making him put his claws away. Captain asked what he knows about Arcade before he told him that he can talk to any electronic thing big or small which he could've asked me about.

"How's your Healing Factor by the way? Has it increased or decreased?" Wolverine asked me so I nodded. "Life threatening five to ten minutes still, silver and obsidian thirty minutes instead of thirty minutes to an hour, and non-life threatening five to ten seconds instead of less than five minutes" I told him making him nod.

He asked me if I can smell Arcade and I nodded "he smells of ginger, pollution, and sewer bound rotten eggs, why has everyone since Deadpool smelled of more than one demonic hierarchy?" I asked mumbling the question but I know they heard. "How can you smell something I can't? What's this demon hierarchy thing you just said?" he asked me before Captain said not to ask questions right now so we can find Arcade.

My Spider Sense went off before I shot webs at Captain and Wolverine pulling them towards me before he walls were broken in. Arcade said 'it's a Duple Ganger surprise' before the whole room turned into a fight stage which didn't surprise me before I shot a web at Captain and Wolverine, I told both of them that it's so they know who's who getting praise from Captain America.

I heard Arcade say that we fight before I swung hearing Captain say that we don't give them an inch throwing his Shield at his Duple Ganger. I was close enough to see that our Duple Gangers had duller colors when I dodged a punch making me groan since if we looked at them we'd know they aren't our comrades.

I shot a web at his arm before I jumped over him slamming him into the ground before I webbed his Face Mask "I shouldn't have webbed you guys, they're darker than we are in appearance" I said before I jumped back almost hitting the corner of the ring. "Stop messing around" Wolverine told me before I asked him why when it's a game to Arcade and is made to be one.

"Guys I'd watch out" I yelled at them getting their attention when I shot at my Duple Ganger who was about to attack them. I threw him at the ring before I punched him in the face knocking him down before I said I won by knock out.

"Nice but don't get cocky" I heard Wolverine say making me roll my eyes under my mask before Captain said that Arcade infiltrated SHIELD so it's not surprising he has the older versions. "Greetings hero, Cerberus, and Wolverine" I heard Arcade say before I told him he's a jerk for not including Wolverine as a Hero and for basically sneering his name.

"That maybe so but at least I didn't bring chaos to the world in the form of bad intentions, sins, and villains" he told me making me growl at him before he added that it makes him better than me. He told us that we don't know what we walked into because worldwide mischief is his game before he said he's green with envy at our situation.

He welcomed us to 'Mad Land' and said the population was us and them referring to the three Hulks that appeared. "Mind the green while I get the Lasers?" I asked them and they smiled at each other so I'm guessing they don't mind at all.

I shot a web at the two Lasers before pulling them to face each other making them shoot each other before I saw +500 appear to the right of each of them. When I looked over to Captain I saw +10,000 appear on the right and left side of the Hulk that was sliced in two by the Shield.

I kept shooting Web Balls at the Lasers getting +500 to appear on the right of everyone I destroyed. I went over when I was done jumping on top of a Hulk destroying it getting odd looks for it before three Red Hulks appeared getting Captain to say we need to finish this because it's a distraction.

I shot a web at a Laser getting it to destroy the three Red Hulks one after the other "get in the hole unless you want to stay here forever" I told them jumping down it followed by Captain and a question laden Wolverine. "Level 3 everyone" I said before we jumped down from the building seeing fire everywhere before Wolverine said to watch out for the Hulks.

"They're not coming, do you really think Arcade who thinks of everything as a game wouldn't make this a game?" I asked them but they didn't answer before I followed Captain. "Level 3 but I am wondering why Cerberus is here? I didn't factor him into this" I heard Arcade ponder before I told him that Fury thought it'd be best I come along.

We continued walking before I heard Wolverine ask if this was seriously a game to him and I nodded saying it is hearing him say he has battle scars to prove this isn't a game to him. "Healing Factors erase scars so you don't have them to prove it" I told him before Arcade appeared.

"Concussions, bruises, and cuts oh my now isn't this the best game ever? The game of life… and death" he said and he sounded somewhat like Deadpool making me groan. Arcade asked if Mutants ever thought about what was to come of them before he said he did making a Centennial come out before Wolverine said it doesn't scare him because he's seen the real thing.

I told him not to attack but he was too far away to hear and it was too late because he got blasted before Captain threw his Shield making the Centennial fall down. "I told him not to, that wasn't a test for him" I told him before Captain told me we have to keep moving and I nodded before we were in the Shield of Honor game.

Tony and I played this together when he got it so I told Captain that we got this before he said the game's name. A horde of alien bugs came towards us before I saw a Gatling Gun handing it to Captain telling him to use it but he said he could manage.

When he went after them it didn't take long before he was covered in them, I was glad when I smelled Wolverine seconds before he appeared so I went over to him. I heard Arcade say '32-Hit Combo' and 'Power-Up' before I saw Wolverine's claws glow gold when we finished off the alien bugs. I heard something behind the wall before Arcade spoke from when he said times almost up before I saw a giant robot.

I heard Captain ask what that thing was supposed to be before I told him it was a Boss since every levels' got one. I shot two webs at Wolverine when he asked me what I was doing "trust me and I didn't ask because you wouldn't have listened" I told him before I spun and threw him at the thing destroying it.

He asked me what that was about after Arcade said players gained EXP so I told him that it was gameplay since he gained a Power-Up so I used it. He asked what was next before Captain said 'that' pointing to the sky.

I looked up to see a long line of alien bugs before I shot at two, I heard Wolverine ask what we do now calling me 'junior' before I told them this'll take forever so we'll need to cheat. Captain said that we don't have to follow Arcade's rules before he threw his Shield destroying two and making a hole before he asked what now.

"I'll be back in a bit I won't make the same mistake twice" I told him before I swung through the hole trying to find what I think we'll get us out of this mess. I plugged into the Centennial I found before I made it go through to where the others are.

"Level up extreme" I said before the Centennial's head moved almost making me fall. I pressed a button on the control pad activating the Laser Eyes before I moved his head to shoot the bugs behind me before I turned him around again.

I had him slam his hand on the ground destroying a multitude of them before I had him stomp doing the same thing before I activated the Flame Thrower in his right hand destroying more bugs. I activated the Laser Eyes again before I heard Captain America tell me I did good work calling me 'soldier' like he kept doing which made me smile under my mask.

We were dropped into another room before Arcade said 'cheaters never prosper' making me growl and my vision go purple "oh you're mad huh? You weren't even supposed to be here black dog" he told me before I said I'm a bonus character. Wolverine asked what we do now that Arcade's mad before I got into an offensive position saying that we fight before Arcade said 'Final Battle' and 'fight!' before we jumped off a glowing platform.

"Spread out and attack low, high, and the sides" I said before they ran and I saw rockets appear from a place above the Arcade Bot's ears. Captain said he's got them before he destroyed the three rockets getting a Power-Up "destroy the weapons but be careful of the forehead" I told them before Captain destroyed the weapon on the right side.

Wolverine destroyed the one on the left side slicing it long ways in half before the head hovered and the thing I warned them about opened revealing a Laser Canon. Captain and I jumped dodging the Laser Canon before he said that we need to do it quickly before it faced us shooting it again causing rubble to fly as we fell away from it when it came at us through the smoke.

All three of us were on it's head before I asked if I could borrow Captain America's Shield before he said that he doesn't mind. I shot a web at it before I hit it against the Laser Canon causing the head to explode.

"Game's Over Arcade" I said before I heard Wolverine tell me that my ending quip was 'nice' which shocked me before I heard Arcade say that he only needs one more code digit so I gestured to the door which Wolverine slashed. Captain hit the slashes with his Shield before I walked into a blue, bright green, and bright purple room.

He was being a real whiner about being so close to winning, so close to power, and so close to respect before I asked if he was Arcade making him cross his arms before he said the winner was Cerberus. Wolverine told him to cancel the Nuke Codes before he scrambled with the keyboard saying not to hurt him before they stopped.

I was able to call Fury before he said my name and asked if I was of any help to them or if I hindered them. "I think I helped, Arcade's captured by the way and you're able to come for clean up now" I told him before he nodded.

After a while the carriers arrived and Fury came out of one with Captain America saying that I did good work today. Captain America clapped me on the back saying I'm a natural before saying that seasoned soldiers could learn a lot from my experience making me blush from the praise since I'm more used to being called a nuisance, menace, and what not.

Wolverine cut in after saying that I called it as I saw it when they couldn't making me shrug telling them to stop since I don't like being crushed with praise before Wolverine asked if I'd rather be crushed by his fist instead. "Yes actually, I'm used to being called menace, nuisance, etc., not what you guys keep saying" I told him before he took his hand from under my jaw.
