The fight got intense quickly. Spider-Man stayed back with Wanda over his shoulder. The other heroes took the fight forward. The combatants closed in and war commenced.
Laura was the first to go at them. And her claws slashed away without mercy. Power man and Jessica bashed away as well. Peter wanted to help them but keeping Wanda safe was the most important thing for now.
"Help them Peter." "Are you sure?" "Yes." He set her down against the sewer wall gave one last look at her and then rushed in to assist.
He took to the air and struck a hand ninja as his sword bounced off power man's unbreakable back. Peter drilled the ninja with a masterful jumping side kick. And I'm not even a master! I am amazing though.
The blow landed against the side of the ninja's head and knocked him clear and away. "Thanks," said Luke while bashing away a few more baddies. "Sure thing." Peter then separately web lined two baddies and smashed them together. Love Spider-Man physics!
Sense alert. Peter hit the deck as a hand sword slashed overhead, just missing him. He then did a speedy flip kick that disarmed the baddie followed by a spin kick that took the ninja out in one move. Ha! I'm the master of the way of the spider; spider fu! Eat that!
He next shot a web blob onto a hydra hitter's face before fancy kicking him to smash him bodily into a wall. Peter heard many bones snap.
The hellish things, for lack of better terms, came in. The heroes met them head on as well. They all fought with an intensity that perhaps they hadn't thought they'd possessed. In any event, the fight continued. As Peter did his part he sensed that Wanda was still helping where she could. The goal was to give her the time she needed to do her thing.
As the fight continued in the sewer Peter felt like it was a stalemate now. Then they heard yahoos and other cheers. It came from behind the enemy.
I know that voice! And indeed Peter was proven right shortly later as Wade Winston Wilson, Deadpool, the merc with a mouth, Spidey's more vulgar counterpart—that knew he was fictional—cut hard into the baddies with double katanas moving like a blur. Where did Wade come from? He doesn't work for free.
In any event he was working though; and taking down all manner of baddies with solid ease. This bolstered the morale of the weary heroes and gave them the second wind they needed to push forward anew against the baddie attrition maneuver.
Wade cut down a few more before throwing a grenade at some of the hell things and sent them back to where they came from. "Hell yeah! In more ways than one," said Wade.
It was done. The heroes had won for now. "Hey Scooby gang. You're super fav is here." Jessica rolled her eyes. Wanda had recovered her strength enough and rejoined them. "We have to keep moving and find them." "That's why I'm here sweetie." Obviously he was on someone's payroll. Hopefully an ally. There was no time to debate it now. They pushed on.
Peter grew more confident at least for now that they could still rescue the mutants held down here somewhere.

In other news for Peter and his brave allies still to realize Captain America to the shock of all retired his longtime iconic mantle in place for the alternate alias of Nomad. Why? To him America was no more. Thus he now fought for freedom only; and would continue otherwise to serve and lead earth's mightiest heroes as before. The Wakandan kingdom had already gifted him with two Wakandan vibranium shields for past services rendered. But his days of symbolizing the red white and blue were over; uniform and shield. Nothing would ever be the same again. Captain America was now forever retired and part of history in this reality.
