Watching as everyone dodged the balls that were shot at them, I took notes on all of their strengths and weaknesses in their movements. Daisy was given an assignment that she couldn't turn down so she couldn't be here. Seeing America punch a ball back, it broke the training drone, ending practice. "Whoops!" America said as she looked at me, not really caring about it.
"Ok everyone, take five!" I said, with me pulling out my phone to see that Gwen had just texted me. "Will you come to our gig tonight, if you can?" I read aloud, with someone jumping onto my back.
"Gig, Gwen's got a Gig!?" Squirrel Girl said, taking my phone from me and sending her a reply. I didn't try to stop her, because I knew that she was into concerts and stuff like that. "We are so there?!" She said, smiling at me as she held my phone out to me, with me taking it.
"Its the battle of the bands, and if anyone wants to go, they better be ready for it." I said, with them nodding as I looked at the others.
"Yes, count me in!" Inferno said, pumping his fist up with a grin. "Haven't been to a goon concert in forever!" He said, with me nodding while looking over their results in their training.
"Hey, I'd love to go with you!" Ms. Marvel said, with me looking up at her as she flirted with Inferno, something that she had to work on as she got distracted with training, but during combat that was another thing. "I mean, I'd love to go, because I've never been to a concert before, so of course I'd love to go-"
"Hey, its cool!" Iron Heart said, stopping the girl from embarrassing herself even more. "I haven't been to one either!" She said, reassuring her.
"What, you've never been to a concert like, never ever?! My poor babies!" Squirrel Girl said, walking over to them with her arms extended like she was going to give them a hug. "We should all go, and support Gwen and rock out at the same time!" She said, acting like she was playing a guitar.
"Before we all go, I want everyone to get cleaned up and ready, and just incase any trouble happens, bring your uniforms." I said, with them looking at me. "It wont be until tonight, but I would prefer to be there before it starts to be in the front row!" I said, with them nodding, then running out to go get ready. 'Of course, its never that easy, is it?' I thought, following them to get ready myself.
Later
"Formation Beta!" I said, using my glider to fly through the city. Dropping Inferno onto the roof with the crane, I took notice of Gwen trying to stop it. Diving for the streets, I caught a person before they could get crushed by some I-beams. Seeing more falling down towards up, I moved out of the way and picked up some more, with me seeing America punching the I-beams, destroying them in the process.
"We have to work on out call to action-"
"We shouldn't have one in the first place, we're supposed to be covert!" I interrupted Squirrel Girl as I passed her as she was helping pulling people out of cars.
"I agree!" Iron Heart said as she blasted the I-beams out of the way of some civilians.
"Ya, like we're covert!" America said as she punched another one, taking notice that no more were falling.
"Ok everyone, get that crane under control!" I said, placing the people down and flying up to where Gwen was. Landing next to her, I grabbed the web and pulled with her. "So, how's your day been?" I asked, with us getting some serious help from America as she pushed it back into place.
"Well, I missed sound check, and forgot dads dry cleaning, then this happened, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be late!" She said, with me nodding as that was most likely going to be the case.
"Ya, this isn't the first incident like this today, someone is causing this!" I said, shocking her as we got the crane stable, where Inferno started melting metal onto it, with Iron Heart welding it together. "You were here when it happened, could you explain everything?" I asked, with her nodding.
"I heard a loud boom right before this happened." She said, with me seeing America bringing Squirrel Girl up to the room.
"Same thing as the other place, the people cant hear a thing!" Squirrel Girl explained, with me nodding.
"They were close to the source, so they have temporary hearing loss." I said, thinking on who it could be. "All sound base villains are accounted for, unless its someone new or its not sound." I said, looking down the street as we all heard a loud boom. "Iron Heart!" I said, with her taking to the sky.
"Five blocks west!" She said, with me hopping onto my board with Inferno.
Few minutes later
"Secure the train and evacuate the civilians!" I said, with me dropping Inferno onto the tracks. Making my way to the train cart, I picked up a man and made our way to safety. Setting him down, I watched as Ms. Marvel had a child in her hands, setting him down next to the man. Seeing the train cart break from the others, I watched as America caught it. Looking around, I narrowed my eyes. "Ghost Spider, make a catching net to speed this along!" I said, with me seeing her jump off the cart and do just that. "Inferno, Iron Heart, how's it going up there?" I asked as I watched the people jumping onto the net.
"Almost got it... got it!" Iron Heart replied as we watched her fly over to the front of the train and push it back onto the tracks, with me looking around.
Seeing the others landing next to me, they started talking to them selves about how we could resolve this. Seeing someone, about three blocks away or so, I narrowed my eyes as it looked like they yelled. They didn't look normal, and then came the boom. "GRAB ONTO SOMETHING?!" I yelled, stabbing my glider into the ground in front of me with me grabbing the emergency strap. Seeing cars and other things fly past me, I gritted my teeth as I took notice to the ground breaking, with me getting pushed back as well.
Opening my eyes, I sat up and tossed the board to the ground, with me stepping on it. "We were hit by solid sound!" I heard Iron Heart, with me moving over to them, seeing everything shaking. Stopping next to them, I shook my head and everything went back to normal.
"Few blocks that way, I watched a female scream!" I said, pointing down the road, with them nodding and taking off. Placing my hand on my ear, I looked at it and saw blood. Gritting my teeth, I took caught some paper that flew by and used it to clean my ears. Pulling out my ear piece, I switched it with my back up before I flew after the others.
"I'm getting similar report from Hells Kitchen and Midtown!" Iron Heart said, with me stopping next to Iron Heart.
"Pull up a map of all of the locations hit!" I said, with her doing just that. 'There isn't anything to go off of just yet.' I thought, narrowing my eyes at that. "Everyone, we're going to have to split up, Iron Heart, keep adding the other spots to the map to see if there is anything that the roads connect to." I said, with her nodding. "Ok, lets move!" I said, with Ms. Marvel jumping onto my glider as I took off.
Later, Hells Kitchen
"This is the last one!" I said, landing on the ground next to the fire fighters, with Ms. Marvel setting a man next to them. Seeing them extend the ladder, I watched as they started putting out the fires.
"Come on, lets go see if the others need any help!" Ms. Marvel said, with me nodding as she jumped onto my board as I took off.
"Iron Heart to Secret Warriors, we've found a connection!" We heard, with me placing a finder on my ear. "All of the roads that have been hit all lead towards one place that is having an event. The Battle of the Bands." She said, confusing me on why they would do this for some band?
"They must be a band member trying to sabotage the concert so that they could win!" I said as it hit me. "Iron Heart, ask Gwen if there is anyone who was wearing green? I remember the person wearing a green like dress!" I said, with it going silent for a bit.
"Only one person, and you know her from when she was into punk rock." Iron Heart said, with me narrowing my eyes at that.
"Screaming Mimi." I said, remembering my run in with her.
Flashback
"This is so awesome!?" I yelled, rocking out with Gwen and Peter, who wasn't that into music, but was willing to hang out with his friends. Gwen and Peter weren't that into it, but who cared? It was amazing to see people preform here!
"I'm sure our parents would get mad at us for sneaking out!" Gwen said, with me looking at her.
"Relax, the bouncer thought we were older than what we looked, so what? Not like they will do anything!" I said, looking at a sick Peter. "Hey, you're not looking so good!" I said, with him throwing up on the person next to him, shocking the women.
"You, fool!?" She yelled, grabbing Peter by his shirt. "Do you have any Idea how much this leather coat cost!?" She yelled, with me recognizing her from the performance earlier.
"Mimi, sorry, he doesn't do very well in crowds!" I said, grabbing her arm before she could punch Peter in the face.
She looked down at me, then headbutted me, with me backing up with a busted up nose. "If you want to take his place, then so be it ya little shit!?" She said, grabbing me by my head and punching me in the face over and over again.
Flashback end
'This is Karma.' I thought, heading to the last road that lead to the concert, the subway station.
Later
"Surround her!?" I said, with all of us surrounding Mimi, who looked shocked. "Screaming Mimi, you are under arrest, stand down, or we will put you down!" I said, pulling out my sword and holding it in front of me.
"You know me?" She said, with me narrowing my eyes at her. "Of course you do, I'm me, this must be great for you Avenger Rejects!" She said, with me narrowing my eyes at that. Seeing her take in some air, she yelled at Gwen, with me running in as Gwen went flying.
Slashing at the sound that flew at me, my sword started shaking, with me rolling out of the sound and slashing at her, with her jumping with Iron Heart flying up just in time to get away from my attack. Seeing her flying, I watched as she shot the others away, with me narrowing my eyes at her.
"Take her down!" I said, with Inferno creating a large fire in front of her. Jumping through the fire, I punched her in the face, knocking her back. Seeing her hit a car, she yelled again, with me moving out of the way, her voice putting out the fire.
"That all you got Chika?" I hear America, with me looking at her as she jumped, only to get knocked away.
"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots!" Mimi taunted, then screamed at Iron Heart. She was knocked away, knocking into me and taking me with her.
"Shut her up!" I said, with me landing on the ground wile holding Iron Heart. She took off, with me seeing Gwen web her mouth closed, then webbing her to the ground. Mimi screamed and broke free, with me watching her scream at Gwen. "Iron Heart, I want to know what's causing her to scream like that, scan her!" I said, with me slashing at her, but she jumped away at the last second.
"Her neckless, its vocal amplification tech!" Iron Heart informed, with me finding her weakness. "We have to get it off her!" She said, with me jumping out of the way of a scream.
"I'm on it!" Ms. Marvel said, running up to her and bringing her fist down, but Mimi created a dome around her to stop her.
"Out of the way!" America said, trying the same thing, but it did nothing.
"Is that all you got, Chika?" Mimi taunted, placing her hands on her hips.
"It may be all she has, but its not all that I have!" I said, stabbing into the dome and breaking it, shocking Mimi. Grabbing her choker, I ripped it off as she looked at me for a scream, where I then headbutted her, knocking her onto the ground. "Shows over!" I said, with her sitting up, her nose bloody and looking at the sword that was now aiming at her.
"What kind of sword is that?" She asked, with me smirking at her.
"The kind that beats sound!" I said, with the others joining me.
Few moments later
"Come on, we're going to miss it!?" I yelled, fighting to put on a shoes while running up to the back stage with the others. We came to a stop, with us seeing Gwen revile herself to her band mates, with them looking at me. "Hey~! Did we make it?" I asked, with MJ looking at each and every one of us.
"This is why I'm always late, and I figured that it was time that I told you guys." Gwen said, with us standing by. "I love being in this band, and I love being a hero, and I don't want to chose between the two." She said, with me walking forward and placing a hand on her head and rubbing it while pushing her down a bit.
"You don't have to, each of us has a life outside of being a hero." I said, with her frowning at that. "Ok, not all of us, but you get the picture." I said, looking at the others, then the stage. "Get going, you're on!" I said, with Gwen smiling and running off to get changed.
Later
Standing by the door, I was leaning against it while I watched them walk on stage, with the crowd cheering. Seeing them get ready, I smiled at them as they started playing. "I may not have a life out of a hero, but you're living it for me." I said, closing my eyes with a smile.
"Ready, set, time to be a fighter! Don't look down, keep on climbing higher! Be yourself, 'cause heroes shine in different ways, and when your voice can't make a sound! Just know we hear you all around! Don't need to fit into the crowd! To be a force of nature!"
"You know, that was your dream, wasn't it?" I heard, with me opening my eyes and looking to my left, seeing Detective Stacy standing there.
"'Cause we're gonna be, we're gonna be, we're gonna be the best! They're gonna see, they're gonna see that we were born for this!"
"It was, but I'm fine with her living my dream." I said, looking back at the stage. "After all, I wanted it to be the three of us. A dream that I will never get to live, but a dream all the same. No matter how small or how big, she can do it for me." I said, with me seeing Gwen looking over at us, seeing her smile grow.
"So if it takes forever! We'll save the world together! We were born ready! We were born ready, yeah, yeah, yeah, and if your heart surrenders! We'll hold it up together! We were born ready! We were born ready! Don't care if the world ain't ready for me!"
"You don't have to put everything into hero work, you know?" Detective Stacy said, with me looking at him. "You're still a kid, the same age as Gwen, it pains me to see you hurting like this." He said, with me smirking as I looked forward.
"You always knew me best, even after all these years." I said, where I lost my smirk. "We both know that a normal life is out of the question for me." I said, leaning my head against the door frame.
"So if it takes forever! We'll save the world together! We were born ready! We were born ready, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"While that is true, don't forget that you are still a kid. Have fun with your life, and don't take everything too serious." He said, with me nodding as I wasn't one to have a lot of fun.
"And if your heart surrenders! We'll hold it up together! We were born ready! We were born ready! Don't care if the world ain't ready for me! Don't care if the world ain't ready! Don't care if the world ain't ready for me! We were born ready! We were born ready! Don't care if the world ain't ready for me! Don't care if the world ain't ready for me!"
Later
Walking into the prison, I followed a guard, with me stopping at a cell with him. "Screaming Mimi." I said, with her looking up at her with a glair.
Come to mock me, Hero? Mimi said with venom in her voice.
"S.H.I.E.L.D. has use of you." I said, her eyes widening as I held out a file to her. "This is project Thunderbolts, named after your band, we want you to lead a team of reformed super villains in Colorado." I said, with her taking it and looking it over.
"Just like that, I'm free?" She asked as she looked over the file, then at me. "What's the catch?"
"You will spend a year in here to get yourself straight, after that, depending on your behavior, you will either be released or spend the remaining time here." I said, with me turning around and walking away. "Your choice." I said, with the guard following me soon after.

To the response to Peters Death. The snapped neck was the Police Report that they had to do to cover up Inhuman existence. Then there was how he died. As for the Death thing killing him, he didn't, once he saw Gwen become Ghost Spider, he knew that Peter was going to die as they can not live in the same universe without the other dying. The Marvel's Spiderman show on Disney XD forgets that and makes me a bit mad, but I like it all the same. I know I made that a bit confusing, so I thought I would cover that here.
