Davis collapsed as the portal closed behind him. Wyatt surged forward and grabbed him, dragging him out of the line of fire.
"Karen, lock down MedBay and wherever MJ, Pepper, and Morgan are." Peter paused as he heard the steel doors closing over the windows and reinforcing the walls. After the bleed through event they had added a couple security protocols that had been implemented while they were in space. "Dad is still in MedBay, correct?"
"Affirmative Peter. MJ is with him. Morgan and Pepper are in the living quarters. Both areas have been secured."
Peter let out a sigh of relief, only to have the wind knocked out of him by his opponent. Bobby had done what he could to corral them but they were still in an open field. Regaining his footing he spun around and released a taser web, wrapping the woman up. To his dismay, the tasers did very little damage and she managed to untangle herself quickly. "We have got to figure out how to get the rings off of them."
"Yeah, I think the rings are making them super durable." Bobby didn't remember that being part of the intel but it seemed to track with what they had experienced so far. "Your backup is going to need backup soon if we don't figure this out."
"Johnny, how did you get the one from France?" Peter dodged another fireball.
"I distracted him and Wyatt and Nat took care of it." Johnny threw up a wall of fire to absorb the fireballs being thrown at them.
"Ok. We need to be strategic about this. We've got to split them up. Johnny, you're on Fisk. Where's Wyatt?"
Johnny looked around. "I think he's got Davis."
Peter frowned. "Take Miles with you. Bobby and I will take the woman."
Johnny nodded and started driving Fisk away from the woman. He was pleasantly surprised that Miles instinctively knew where to help. It still didn't mean they were making any headway. He manipulated a wall of fire that was met with a whirlwind that sucked his wall into itself, growing in size. If he weren't so exhausted he might actually be having fun. Fighting someone that could manipulate fire the way he could wasn't something he did often. He'd spar with Amanda periodically but that generally took a left turn somewhere and they'd end up definitely not sparing. He shook his head and took control of the whirlwind. If he didn't get his head back in the game he and Miles would both end up dead. He spun it down into a tight spear and threw it at him. Distracted, it allowed Miles to web his arms to his sides and try to get the ring off.
Infuriated, Fisk clinched his fists and forced his arm through the webbing. The force flung Miles back. Firing webs at his face, Miles tackled him in an attempt to get back to the ring. Instead, Fisk heated the ground below him, bursting it into flames. Miles somersaulted away from Fisk and landed next to Johnny and glanced over to see if Peter and Bobby were having any better luck. They weren't.
Feeling a pressure change in the air, they all looked up. Peter smiled as he saw the rear doors of the Benetar open revealing Quill, Rocket, Groot, Steve, Bucky, Nat, and Drax. All seven leapt to the ground, joining the fight.

Tony paced the small MedBay room, thankful he at least had gotten jeans and a t-shirt on before Peter had locked down the compound. Tablet in hand he tried another backdoor to the compound security protocols, only to be locked out. "I'm going to kill him."
MJ sighed. If she weren't so worried it would have been comical. Tony pacing like a caged animal was identical to Peter pacing on the walls and ceiling when he was frustrated. She had always known they had similar traits but right now she was understanding exactly how deep those similarities ran. Tony had even growled a little at the table which Peter also did when he was frustrated. "We can't get out. The protocol is there for a reason. It means nothing can get in too. Focus on getting everyone else here. Are Wanda and Vision still trapped with Morgan and Pepper?"
Tony glanced up, "Yes. Vision could phase through but Wanda can't." He was about to tell Vision to go when he saw a ship appear on the video feed he was watching. He frowned and looked back at the tablet, letting out a sigh of relief. "The Benatar just made it back, at least they have help now." He could leave Vision where he was for now which meant regardless of what else happened, Pepper and Morgan had protection.
MJ nodded. She felt some relief but wouldn't be satisfied until this was over and she knew Peter was safe. "How is FRIDAY doing with finding Michael and Carina?"
Tony frowned. "You could have a career as a police sketch artist. Using your drawings of them, FRIDAY has picked up multiple sighting of one or both of them. There are a couple concerning coincidences where Michael has been sighted in proximity to Fisk which makes me think he knows about Fisk's ring." Tony continued pacing, glaring at the steel panel covering the window.
MJ knew Tony needed a distraction. He wasn't used to sitting on the sidelines. She unfortunately was, although she usually wasn't this close to the action. She was starting to run out of things for him to work on. "Ok, how about the rings. We know he has two of them. What can they do?"
Tony took a deep breath and looked back over at MJ. He knew what she was doing and he appreciated it. What he wanted to do was to start hot wiring medical equipment to build something to get through the shielding. Knowing that wouldn't be taken well and it would leave MJ exposed, he went along with her provided distractions. "The symbols translate to 'Mind' and as close as Strange could figure out 'Electromagnetic Manipulation'." He smirked at the look on MJ's face. "I know, it's a mouthful. Strange tried to give me the translations in Mandarin too." He sighed. "There's so much we don't know about these damn rings. We tested the one that Strange had and I have a general understanding of how they work, at least as much as I can without taking it apart. I barely got away with deep scanning it."
"Electromagnetic...that could mess with Peter, right?" MJ crinkled her nose in worry. She was trying to keep a cool exterior because Tony was outwardly panicking enough for both of them. But the reality was Peter and the rest of them were in the middle of a fight with no clear path to victory other than simply overpowering them.
Tony thought through the battle on Moord. "Peter didn't have an electrical problem the first time we faced him." He frowned for a moment, "But he got into our heads which means he could again." He looked over at MJ and realized he needed to start acting like the adult in the room. If he got in their heads before it meant that he could see what Peter's weaknesses were. MJ definitely didn't need to know that. "He teleported away from the battle. That fits with electromagnetic manipulation and how Thor can get use what he calls the Bifrost." Tony started running through possibilities in his head. He opened up a text and sent a message to Brunnhilde. Too much help at this point would be better than not enough. He glanced back at the video feed. The added help was definitely making a difference. In a separate screen he pulled up the data from Afghanistan where the other ring had been triggered. He had a couple theories he wanted to check
