8. Long Iron Arm of the Law

Okay, I need you guys to review my chapters in all honesty, I haven't really written that much on superheroes, and I would love some feed back, questions, anything you think wasn't explained well or could be better. As well as what you guys would like to see or you think would help in the story

LOS ANGELES

THREE YEARS AGO

Adrian and his blonde haired twin brother were leaping across the night sky of LA. They were not only younger, skin was far more tan from years of being out in the sun during the day. But They were doing flips and spins around the rooftops until they spied a Cuarenta ladrones thug with a gun holding it toward an old Mexican woman who was speaking hysterically in Spanish before both boys leapt down without a second thought. Adrian dropped down right onto the mugger grabbing the gun as his brother grabbed the woman pulling her out of the way of the bullet.

"His name was Jonas, for as long as I could remember it was just the two of us." Adrian said to Professor X who were looking over the alley like specters as they watched the old woman walk off as Adrian held the mugger down.

Both boys Spider-Sense flared as they looked back into the alley of shadows to see more of the Cuarenta ladrones walking out of the shadows some with guns others with knives. Both Adrian and Jonas looked at one another, Adrian smiled while Jonas before leaping toward them and a battle began.

"The two of you seemed unstoppable." Professor X said looking at the memory, "That's what we thought, or at least I thought it." Adrian said looking back at Professor X as the memory faded away and showed the two of them moving across LA. "How is it that word never reached New York about two super powered boys?" he asked Adrian who shrugged "You really think that any Cuarenta ladrones member would say two kids beat them up?" he asked "Plus the Pride was in control of LA, probably did something to make sure word never got around." Adrian added.

"Did you know?" Adrian heard Professor X asked him "Know what?" Adrian asked him as they saw a memory of both Adrian and his twin stopping outside a TV store. They could see a new story about the Avengers, spider-Man included battling some aliens. Jonas looked at with interest when Adrian slapped his brother on the arm for him to follow "That Peter was your father."

Adrian got silent as that memory disappeared too, "Yeah we knew." He grumbled "But I didn't care really, I mean at the time I thought if he didn't want us so we should stay in place that did." Adrian said as it showed the two boys at the Rodriguez house, the same family who helped Adrian in LA for a long time. "Jonas wanted to go, but he knew I'd never leave LA, and he'd leave me." Adrian said as they watched Adrian and Jonas running and leaping over the roof tops of Los Angelos during better days.

They looked at another memory of Adrian and Jonas stopping a mugging, the mugger had a gun to two people before the two boys leapt down off a wall, it was easy Adrian kicked the gun out of his hand and Jonas made sure the two muggees were safe. Before Adrian could hit the guy with a super powered punch that would surely cause damage Jonas grabbed his fist letting the mugger get away, beaten but unbroken.

"What happened?" Professor X asked, Adrian sighed as he took them to another memory, they were in a burning warehouse piles of metal wreckage were falling as both Adrian and Jonas wrestled with Rey de ladrones, leader of the Cuarenta ladrones. They fought viciously against him as he blasted and swung around a giant minigun ripping apart the inside of the warehouse. He was wearing heavy body armor spray painted with 40s and crowns on it "After enough work, we tracked down Rey de Iadrones to the Caurenta ladrones hideout on the docks, we knew that they had cops on the payroll and if we called them they'd packup and move." Adrian said as they watched him and Jonas wrestle the minigun away from him.

Jonas had both arms around the king of thieves neck as Adrian tackled him "We knew all the gunfire would bring the entire LAPD down on them but we know that Rey de Iadrones wouldn't go quietly…. But we didn't know he wouldn't go at all." Adrian said as they watched Rey de Iadrones rip off his flakjacket wearing a bomb vest and detonator in his hand. Adrian mental projection turned away as suddenly Jonas grabbed Adrian and through him right at the nearest window. Adrians younger self was helpless as Jonas leapt up onto Rey de Ladrones trying to get the detonator as Adrian went through the widnow followed by the entire warehouse exploding.

Later after LA's finest arrived putting the fire out and cops putting Cuarenta Iadrones in handcuffs and large prisoner trucks, as the fires raged burning the entire warehouse to the ground Adrian was sitting on top of another building curled up his eyes red and puffy from crying all the tears he could. "Jonas was always the better one." Jericho said looking at himself "He always was…"

THE X-MANSION

Suddenly Adrians memory fell to pieces, returning him and Professor X back into Charles's office. Professor X was sitting in his chair the curtains drawn the sun had just started to rise on a new day and Adrian was sat hands together holding them between his knees his head bowed hiding his face with his long hair "Please… can we stop." He said from under the curtain of hair.

"… of course Adrian." Professor Xaiver said as Adrian got up heading to the door, "Would you like to talk to your father we have a secure line in the basemen?" Professor X asked him "No… I don't want to talk to him yet." Adrian replied when he walked out, Fang his faithful half spider half wolf, dog was waiting for him. The eight legged boys best friend got up yawning and following after him closely.

In another part of the mansion, Wolverine was sitting on a couch in one of the mansions TV rooms with a beer, "Little early don't you think Logan?" Wolverine looked up to see the long white haired mutant goddess of weather, Ororo Munroe or Ororo Iquadi T'Challa, but more commonaly to the world as Storm. She was wearing a long white morning robe made of the finest silk with panthers and other wakandans symbols "It's five o'clock somewhere and I've got a healing factor that can beat any liquor so there." He said as Ororo wiped her long silver hair back as she reached down and summoned the winds around one of the beer cans to summon her one "Never said I didn't want one." She said as she sat down next to him as he turned on the TV.

"Anything good on television?" she asked him, "No its pretty much the same thing on every channel." He said as they looked at the TV.

It showed a news real of current events "Director Stark introduced former unlicensed Superhero, Prodigy, who was apprehended months prior for using super powers without a licensee in public and also for drunk and discordantly contact, along with various other charges, as officially reformed and being trained at SHIELDS superhero training camp in Virginia." The TV said as it showed many of the Shield, sanctioned heroes and Shield Agents with Iron Man. The image suddenly changed to show the broadcaster, "However, Stark has again refused to comment on what happened in New York with former Avengers Luke Cage and Peter Parker and if it had any connection to the Parker question."

"Parker Question?" Ororo asked Logan as she sat next to him, "Hmmm all that time in Wakanda has kept you out of the loop." Logan said sipping his beer "I wouldn't say I am out of the loop Logan, I'm wife to the King of Wakanda, politics have become my new adventure." She said smirking at him as the recording on the TV of Cameras being pressed in Iron Mans face "Director Stark, Director Stark, what happened a week ago in New York, are the reports of the Parker family still at large?" they asked him "No comment." Iron Man said walking through the crowd in his armor.

"So what is the Parker question?" Ororo asked Logan, "Families with super powers basically, what happens when stuff like the Parker family, registration on family members with powers too." Logan explained, Ororo scoffed at it all "So like for us, only now there talking about it because it was a non-mutant." Ororo pointed.

The Canadian drank his beer before replying "Sure like they weren't talking about it for years now, look try to keep this from Adrian, kid has enough-"

'Logan, could you come to my office' professor X's voice said through his mental powers "Hang on a sec Ororo Professor wants me." Logan said as he got up, "Yes he told me." Ororo said as she took a sip of her beer but gagged at it, "Uh… gross." She said looking down on it and taking a sip, she didn't notice Iron Man just receive something on his ear piece inside his helmet get his attention "Excuse me something has come up." Iron Man said before blasting off.

NEW YORK CITY

X-MANSION

Later, Wolverine was standing in Professor X's office, "So, what do you mean the symbiote can't be removed?" Logan asked Professor X.

The bald telepath looked back at him "Not by us it seems, the symbiotic bond is too heavily engrained his body and mind." Charles replied to him, Wolverine was wearing his yellow and blue X-Men suit. "What like it knows the right buttons to push?" Logan asked him to smoke a cigar.

"In a sense yes, do you know he had a brother." Logan heard Professor, Logan was halfway through his cigar when he stopped "Oh Christ…." He whispered to himself "He told me that he hasn't told anyone, not even Peter." Professor X said "Are we going to?" Logan asked.

Professor X was silent, "No, as much as I would this is a personal matter between Adrian and his father."

"So what's this got to do with the thing inside him?" Logan asked him "The symbiote feeds on aggressive emotions, but it also strengthens his body protecting it when it feels threatened." Professor X said walking over to a window seeing Adrian walking across the grounds with Fang at his side. Charles tunred back arms crossed scratching his chin "During our sessions the symbiote tried to block all memory of his brother." Logan tapped his lesser sharp claws on his arms and by claws his fingers "Guess that makes sense?" Logan guessed "I thought the same, the memory of his brothers death was one of great tragedy and pain, yet so are the other memories even the happier ones I saw, and even still these memories are ever present in the mind as if resisting at the symbiotes seams." Professor X said explaining it in further detail "….You lost me Chuck" Wolverine said going cross eyed as he not even his healing factor could heal that mind boggle.

Professor X sighed as he leaned forward "He doesn't want to forget, but the symbiote is trying to exterminate the memories, the pain, the fear, the helplessness, all traits of someone broken and the symbiotes sole purpose is to evolve the host to adept to survive." He said again to Wolverine who walked up and sat down in the chair "So the symbiote doesn't like the bad memories, wants to get rid of them like suppressed memories?" Logan asked trying to say it in his own words to simplify it.

"Yes and yet take note of the emotions Adrian has shown sense being infected with the symbiote, ones where memories of loss, like with the New Warriors, helplessness as the world he knew and loved changed so fast, fear as Captain America, a man he idolized is died to preserve that world in his eyes, and Iron Man and other heroes he grew with idolized, labeling him a danger and threat, while society labeled him a terrorist, he was all alone at first."

Logan scratched his chin "Sooooo… no you lost me again?" Wolverine grumbled his brain snapping "Fury, Colonel Nicholas Fury, a spymaster of Shield who has gone rogue used the boy who was at the brink and said he wasn't alone, he didn't need to be afraid and channeled the two." Professor X said to him "So, Fury knew?" Logan asked "Perhaps, but I knew that for Fury always had an interest in Spider-Man, everyone has, his spider sense the ability to predict a threat, that's something every man in power would want."

"What about the spy stuff, the infiltrating and breaking in to Starks stuff?" Logan asked him "Adrian I'm sure has told you that Fury told him they were going to change things, make it so that Shields new power and Starks new world order ended." Charles said to him "But so far nothing has happened." Charles said sitting down "So Fury was using him." Wolverine said sitting forward "In a way, but he also trained him, gave the boy everything he wanted, a way to strike back, a way to feel empowered, and the means to maybe even better himself." The Professor said.

"What are you getting at Charlie?" Logan asked him while Professor X looked back at Adrian outside, "The symbiote feeds on aggressive emotions and tries to take over the host by strengthen these emotions while removing any weaknesses." the professor said to him "What if the hosts weakness is also his strength." Professor X said getting up and walking up to the window "What?" Logan asked still a little lost.

Professor X spotted Adrian at the far end of the institute, Adrian was sitting under a trees shade with Fang next to him in the shade, at the very edge of the suns shadow on the tree between light and dark "His brother, Adrian doesn't want to forget his brother but the symbiote is trying to remove the memories and each time they both get stronger, Adrian is resisting the symbiote with the most painful and traumatic event of his life because it is the most defining moment of his life."

"Same way with the his dad and his uncle…" Logan said getting up and walking up next to him "So what do we do?" Logan asked Professor X, who replied "I have no idea, but I hope I know someone who can." Professor X said as he looked back to him. Meanwhile, in the gardens of the mansion Adrian sat under the tree. While even further away from him, was a man with dark black hair and wearing lions fur on his shoulders with a vest made out of his suit "Kraven here, I have spotted the spiderling, Director." Kraven said as he looked through a sniper scope lenses in some bushes, he had an ear piece in talking with someone "So he is at the X-Mansion." The director said behind the ear piece.

Kraven lowered his lens, "So, how much longer till Stark starts asking questions?" Kraven asked as spied into the X-Mansion.

"Today, I'm meeting with him in five minutes, thank you for your report Agent Romanoff, I'm sure Director Stark will like our new info."

NEW YORK CITY

Iron Man landed on Stark Towers walking inside, "Jarvis hold all my calls." He said to his AI companion "Of course, would you like me to reschedule your meeting with the Director of The Thunderbolts?" Jarvis asked Iron Man as he took of his yellow and red helmet as he walked into his office "Yes, I just got done analyzing this new data." Tony said as he headed to the bar "Now is that anyway to treat an old friend?" Tony looked up at the bar to see standing behind the bar was the Director of the Thunderbolts "Especially since he just made you a cocktail and a new intel on SHIELDS most wanted."

X-MANSION

Meanwhile, Adrian was looking back at the X-Mansion under the tree with Fang, before the dog lifted his head up and started to give light ruffs "If it's a squirrel go get it." Adrian groaned.

"I'd like to see it try." A voice said up to him, Adrian looked up to see Zenialla sitting in the tree, she had on a long green shirt with a dashiki design that had red and black stripes on it, she had an orange wrap on her head with shorts under the long shirt.

I don't need this.

"I'm debating to let him." Adrian said as the wolf growled at the girl who sat on a branch before dropping down doing a backflip as she landed on her shoes. "What do you want?" Adrian asked her, Zeinalla glared at him and the wolf "So how long?" She asked him, as she stood up "How long what?" he asked back "How long have you been Spider-Boy?" she asked him, "A year and a half?" he replied to her "So Jack Powers and his siblings are too aren't they?" Adrian glanced over at her "Come on at least your smart enough to wear a mask." She said smirking at him.

A smile he didn't share, "Look can you leave me alone?" he asked her "I just asked you a simple question?" Zeinalla asked back as she leaned on the tree "Well

"No it's not a simple question, nothing is simple anymore for me." Adrian said getting up, "You mean like how everyone is saying we need more laws to be safe?" she suddenly asked "No—yes." Adrian said looking up at her as she leaned on the tree "You think you're the only kid this is messing with?" she asked him "I… I mean my situation is a little different." Adrian said gesturing to him and then her.

"I know, everyone did at school." She said back to him.

That's right, I haven't even thought about Jack and Franklin or anyone from school.

He lifted his head instantly "Jack, Franklin what happened to them?" Adrian asked "Well Franklin Richards never came back to school, neither did any of the Powers children, soon I left too." She said as she looked at her shoes "Why'd they take you out?" Adrian asked her scratching Fangs white fur "My father and mother decided to withdraw me from my education in America." She said as she glared down at him "How come?"

"My father worked at the Wakandan Embassy, my mother too, they sent me back to Wakanda for my safety I believe." Adrian saw her sit down next to him "So what are you doing with Storm?" Adrian asked her "Her name is Queen Ororo Iquadi T'Challa, wife of the Black Panther and goddess of Weather." Zeinalla said back to him "Whatever, if your parents don't want you in America why are you here?" he asked her.

The girl frowned "Its expected of me, my family is very close to the royal family and only so many girls have the honor of being handmaiden to the Queen." She said as she looked down at her wrist where Adrian noticed an African bracelet, it had golden beads with thunder bolts and a panther on it. "So you met the Black Panther?" he asked her "King T'Challa yes, I have met him but only on formal occasions, he's often busy and… I shouldn't be talking about the king this way." She said as she got up "Why, so far you're the only other person I've talked to about anything in a while." Adrian said as she turned around.

"I thought you were talking with Professor Xaiver?" she asked him, "I don't know if you can call it talking, he more of just-" "Speaking inside your head with your own voice?" Zeinalla asked him.

"Queen Ororo has told me that's how it feels." Zeinalla said next to him as she sat back down, "So what did everyone say when I wasn't in school?" Adrian asked her, she curled her black hair as she looked at the grass "A lot of things, mostly wondering what you were doing but even more asking how many times you left school and if they were for superhero stuff or actually skipping?" she asked him.

The young boy shrugged "You know its kind of a mix, most of the time I was sneaking out of school but caught up in the superhero stuff."

"So that time at the museum that was-" "Captain America and I fighting Nazis." Adrian answered her, "I figured as much." Zeinalla snickered smiling at him.

NEW YORK CITY

SECRET SANCTORUM

Peter was looking out the window of his room inside Dr. Stranges mansion, the sorcerer supreme was using a cloaking spell to make it look as if the house was condemned when it really wasn't. He still wore his dark black spider suit, nearly identical to the symbiote suit but just simple cloth. His mask was off as he was safely inside and his identity already public knowledge. He wasn't the only one in the room "Your dressed already?", Peter glanced over his shoulder to see his wife Mary Jane laying in there bed under the sheets "I'm going to ask Dr. Strange to send me the X-Mansion, I'm going to bring Adrian back here to see we can handle this ourselves."

Mary Kane got up and grabbed one of Peters shirts putting it on as he headed to the door grabbing his mask "Peter, wait." Mary Jane said rushing between him and the door "I want Adrian back here too, I want him back, I want him in my arms too." She said as she put her hands on his chest "But maybe we should let Professor Xaiver try to help."

"I'm his father Mary Jane, I'm the only one who has the same powers and gone through the same stuff with the Symbiote." Peter said back urgently "Then you know by now we won't always be able to protect him." She said trying to calm him down.

Peter frowned at her "Its not the point about protecting him, but we need to be there for him, we're all he has and you two are all I have if Aunt May…" Peter started to trail off when he got to the topic of his Aunt. He pushed Mary Kane aside without hurting her "I'll be back, with our son." he said firmly walking out of the room and down the various halls and stairs to Dr. Stranges main hall of meditation. The second Spider-Man opened the door waves of purple and swirling magical light erupted from it with him walking in.

"Is there something I can do for you Peter?" Dr. Strange asked as he sat in the center of the room ten feet off the ground legs crossed hands on his knees as a flowing red cape blew behind him "Send me to the X-Mansion Strange." Peter said plainly "What for?" Dr. Strange asked him "I'm bringing my son home, now."

Dr. Strange shut off all his spell weaving and made the room appear like any other room in the secret hideout, "I thought you agreed on letting him go to Professor Xaivers?" Strange asked him "Now I'm unagreeing, send me there now or bring him back here." Spider-Man demanded "I could do that Peter, I could do a lot of things, but have you thought this through?"

"I shouldn't be there Strange, he shouldn't be anywhere but where I can see him." Spider-Man replied to him "I know your trying to be a good parent Peter, but so-" "BUT NOTHING STRANGE!" Spider-Man barked at him "I am sick and tired of all the parent talk, I am his parent, I am his father, and I-AM-GOING-TO-SEE-MY-SON!" Dr. Strange got quiet when Spider-Man roared at him "He doesn't want to see you." Strange said "… What?" Peter asked him "Before you walked in, I was speaking with Professor Xaiver, he says Adrian is at a critical moment right now and that he doesn't want to see you, not yet."

Spider-Man froze, holding up a hand "But-but why?" he asked the doctor, Strange lowered himself down and stood there on the floor with him instead of hovering over him as the Sorcerer Supreme. "Spider-Man, Peter, I was a surgeon you know, I always thought I could fix what was in people's minds just by opening up their heads and taking out the bad stuff and fix it with my own two hands." He said plainly "But Professor Xaiver is the man who can help you fix ourselves, I trust him, and we both know how little people trust one another these days." He said back to Spider-Man who curled his hand into a fist "One more day… tell Logan or Xaiver, they have one more day then he comes home." Peter said under his mask, uncurling his fist before leaving the room.

Strange let out a sigh of relief before returning to his meditation, "Whatever you plan to do Xaiver, I hope you do it fast."

X-MANSION

The sun had started to set on the X-Mansion as Professor X looked out the window off his office, as something cast a very man like shadow over the sun casting a shadow on the British Professor. Standing in the air outside the X-Mansion for both student, teacher and X-Men to see was Iron Man "Charles." Iron Man said under his helmet "Anthony." Professor X said seeing the armor, using his full name "Can I come in?" Iron Man asked, "… of course." Professor X said opening the window.

Just outside the school grounds, in Salems very border Adrian sat across the table of the dinner from Wolverine, "So Aren't you going to ask me about it?" Adrian asked as Wolverine Who munches in some bacon and eggs, he had on dark jeans, a red flannel and leather jacket with dark brown boots. "Nope." They were sitting in a dinner on the edge of the county, a motorcycle parked in the parking lot with Wolverines name carved into it.

"What do you mean nope." Adrian asked under his hat, Adrian had brought an extra one to wear over his head with his hood hiding his identity, and doing a surprisingly good job, just a zip up hoodie and a baseball cap.

"I mean I'm not asking about crap." Logan sighed "I thought that's why you took me out of the mansion?"

Wolverine shook his head putting his fork down "No I just wanted to get some food, not to mention that the food at the school is awful." Logan said back to him.

"But Professor X told you about what happened during out whatever talks, sessions, whatever?" Adrian asked him, "Aint my business, aint worth my time." Wolverine lied as he looked at his food.

Meanwhile, back at the Mansion Professor X had let Iron Man into his office, "I've always loved this office, wish the boys at Stark Industries would try to mix my office with that old timey feel." Iron Man said as he walked around the office "Is there something you want Stark, last time I checked we reached an agreement?" Charles asked as he sat down at his desk "We did Charles, no more sentinels guarding your school and no more mutants going off and doing vigilante stuff."

"If your speaking about Wolverine, he hasn't been here for some time?" Xaiver said to Iron Man who was looking around the office and at the many pictures of X-Men of the past. "That so, and how long till the rest of your X-Men break the door down?" Iron Man said looking through the door to see all the teachers and X-Men rushing to the door through the walls with his suits advanced x-ray technology "Give me a moment." Xaiver said pressing his finger to his head and signaling all of the X-Men to back off, immediately.

When Iron Man saw there X-ray forms go he looked back at Charles, "So we can finally talk?" Iron Man asked walking toward the desk "For as long as I see fit." Xaiver said leaning back in his chair "We both know why I'm here." Iron Man said back leaning on the desk.

Back at the dinner, Logan and Adrian ate there meal in silence, "I need to take a leak." Logan said getting up, and heading to the bathroom "Don't hurt yourself." Adrian joked as far away from them in the trees around the dinner, Kraven was watching "He's alone, want me to capture the cub?" the hunter asked the director through his ear piece as he sat in the shadows of the van looking at the monitors holding a drink. Meanwhile further away, in a dark black van with black clad Shield Agents in the car "Leave that for the task force, I think its time you do what you do best." The Director of the Thunderbolts said as Kraven smiled "And what it is I do, is less then pretty." He said jokingly using Wolverines own line.

When Logan walked into the bathroom he took a piss, before putting his tools away and heading to the sink to wash his hands when he sniffed something.

Somehow, some way, Kraven had gotten into the bathroom and was standing right behind Logan who could see him in the mirror reflection "Thought I smelled a zoo?" Logan said into the mirror at Kraven "I assure you it's not personnel, I'm actually a great admirer of your work." Kraven said as he took out two very long bowie knives with curved tips and jagged inside edges.

Logan turned around and unsheathed his metal claws letting out the wolverine "Bub, you just made the worst decision of your life."

Kraven held up the knives "You haven't met my wife."

Back at the X-Mansion, the sun had sun beneath the waves of the ocean overlooking the mansion. Iron Man was standing across Xaivers desk, "I know he's here Charles." Iron Man said back to him "I'm sure if you investigate you'll find plenty of traces of Wolverine here, but he comes and goes as he pleases." Charles said back to him as Iron Man wasn't detrude "You know I'm talking about Adrian Parker, how long as he been here, a few days a week?" Iron Man asked again.

Professor X didn't move from his seat "That's a serious accusation Stark, you and SHIELD have made it abundantly clear how dangerous and volatile an eleven year old boy is?"

"… I can also make it abundantly clear how dangerous and volatile an entire compound of highly trained mutant soldiers are too." Iron Man said back using Iron Mans own words against him. "Are you threatening me Stark?" Xaiver asked standing up against the Iron Man on the other side of the desk.

Elsewhere, at the dinner, Adrians spider sense flared as Wolverine and Kraven broke through the doors of the mens room more animal then men.

No!

Kraven and Wolverine got up blood dripping from there wounds, but Kraven had some ho managed to land a lot more cuts on Wolverine or the mutant with the healing factor didn't even care "That the best you got you lousy excuse for a white Russian?" Wolverine asked him "Plenty my Calgary Beaver, I'd be careful about those wounds." Kraven said twirling the knives as Wolverine looked at his scars seeing they weren't healing a fast as they were.

Holding up the blade Kravens eyes glistened in the metal "Shield gave me Adamantine blades, dipped in a neural toxin mixed with salt, fine tools for a fine hunt." He said as Wolverine licked one of his wounds.

"It tickles bub." Wolverine said before going back at it fighting there way through one of the windows, "Wolverine!" Adrian said rolling up his zip up sleeves to show his web shooters and shot two at Kraven webbing him up "Get out of her lil bub, get back to the mansion." Wolverine ordered as Kraven sliced through the webs "Go now." Wolverine ordered "I can stay, I can help." Adrian said back not moving an inch.

Wolverine grabbed him by the collar "Isn't about that, I don't know how much longer my healing factor can take of whatever he had on those blades." Logan said as he his wounds kept bleeding "Plus look at the trees."

Wolverine was right, as soon as I looked at the trees I could see shapes moving in the shadows of the treeline.

"The second I go down, they're going to come out guns blazing, NOW SWING!" Logan said throwing Adrian right in the direction of the school. Just as he did about a dozen shield agents on dirt bike motorcycles with extra men on some roared over the bushes after Adrian. The drove right past Wolverine and Kraven "Thought they'd never leave." Kraven said as he took out his earpiece "So we can begin." Kraven said holding up the blades walking toward him Wolverine did so to "If by beginning you mean I end you, sure thing bub."

Meanwhile, at the mansion, Charles and Iron Man were still staring each other in the faces "Okay Charles, if you want to play it that way fine we can-" suddenly Iron Mans helmet started to beep "Director Stark, we have the target in pursuit he's heading toward your location." The director of the Thunderbolts said through his own earpiece. Iron Man looked right at Professor Xavier "We're done here." Iron Man said walking toward the window opening it "Matters of state?" Xavier asked him and Iron Man stopped at the window "Charles you better hope I catch that kid." Tony said as he flew out and right at the treetops.

Already in the middle, Spider-man was swinging through the branches as the Shield Agents continued to try and chase after him, they rode their bikes through the trees and dirt trails with dead leaves and branches. "No bullets men, S.P.I.N. tech only." Iron Man said as he flew above the trees at top speed as the men riding the bikes reloaded their guns with the strange blue wrapped ammo packs. "I thought Wolverine was with him?" Iron Man asked as he flew around the forest. Back at the dinner, Wolverine kicked Kraven into the nearest car who spat blood "It's coming." The Director of the Thunderbolts said as they saw Wolverine and Kraven fighting through the cameras as the Thunderbolt agents handed popcorn around "Youtube will love this."

Adrian leaped through the trees shooting webs around them zipping from tree to tree as the bikes chased after him following bullets exploding around him.

Now they're shooting, lucky me.

The bullets tore through the leaves and branches, bouncing off bark too thick to be penetrated by them. Adrian web zipped through the branches and around the trunks as the bike soldiers chased after him. Adrian suddenly noticed a bee hive hanging from a tree and shot a web toward it.

Hope this doesn't create a super villain based on bees that one day seeks revenge

Adrian yanked the hive off the tree it was hanging from and through it right at a bike making the hive explode and the bees going into a frenzy against the soldiers. Another bike got caught in the swarm and flipped over as the bees started to sting them in furious vengeance. The other bikes started to halt before getting caught up in the crash blocking them and letting Adrian get away "Thanks guys, its BEEn swell." He said as he swung away.

Puns, I'm losing it.

The boy swung up to the tip of the treeline to see he wasn't that far from the school and smiled, but that smile shattered when his spider-sense flared and he looked up to see Iron Man "Got you." Iron Man said locking on and flying straight toward him.

He dropped down back into the trees but Iron Man tore right through the branches and top of the tree and saw the kids swinging away "Whats wrong Adrian, I thought you wanted to play with the big boys?" Iron Man asked holding up both arms and raising his laser cannons even the ones in his chest and shoulders when he suddenly lost sight of Adrian who was hiding behind a very thick tree.

I should rip that damn suit right off him and-

He gripped the bark tight almost crushing it in his palm

No, that's the symbiote Ruin talking, have to stay calm have to get back to the mansion, Professor you there?

Almost instantly Adrian heard Professor X's mental voice in his mind 'Always Adrian, I sense you are not far, if you get to the far left side of the Mansion there's a vent in the side of the wall, you should be small enough to fit in."

Vent, side of the seawall, go it. Have to move, have to keep moving.

Adrian climbed around the branches of the trees moving as slowly and as steadily as possible not to shake the leaves or branches Iron Man instantly started to scan the forest. Iron Man landed in the middle of the woods his thrusters kicking up leaves and dust from the dirt floor of the forest. Suddenly his earpiece rang and the voice of Ms. Marvel echoed as she was flying over New York, "Tony, I just got the report I'm on my way, ETA-" "Belay that Carol, this has to end, one way or the other." Tony said as he shut her out.

Whats he up too?

Adrian hovered over the trees, "I don't blame you for what' happens Adrian." Iron Man said as he started to walk, "I know the symbiote feeds on aggression and tries to take over the host, we'll get you help… Jarvis begins scanning body heat signatures." Iron Man whispered the last part to his suits AI that began scanning "I'm tired of this, I'm tired of chasing you and Peter, before all of this you were like family." Iron Man said as Adrian hid behind a tree, while Jarvis whispered in Iron Mans ear "Sir, I've located the boy he's hiding behind an oak tree five meters to your left." Iron Man stopped "I'm not asking you to give up, I'm not asking you to stop being Spider-Boy, hell I'll even give you a license to."

What?

The kid peaked around and saw Iron Mans back was to him, "… Jarvis, lock on and prime cannons." Iron Man whispered as he curled his fingers "It be legal, but it's more then that, you've proven yourself, Adrian, if you just stop this." Iron Man said to him.

"And if I do?" Adrian asked from the shadows, "Will people still have to register if they have powers, do I have to invade a country because some politician wants there oil companies stocks to increase?" Adrian asked as he moved around the trees as the moonlight shined through the clouds. "Target moving." Jarvis said to Iron Man who kept his eyes on his scanners but didn't move making Adrian think he wasn't looking for him "You'll answer to me, and to me alone, despite what people think Shield is, it won't be like it was under me." Iron Man said.

"But first we need to get you help." Iron Man said as he raised his metal arm "I've already spoken with Reed, Horizon Labs, the best xenobiologists in Shield we'll remove the Symbiote and then you'll start seeing things much…" his palm cannon started to power up "Much clearer, what do you say?"

….

Adrian slouched to the bottom of the tree 'Adrian what are you doing?' Professor X asked him mentally in his office.

What if he's right, what if I just need to cut this thing out

Professor X gave no response as Iron Man charged is canon "Adrian… this is your last chance." Iron Man said as Adrian looked at both hands curing them into fists as his eyes went red. 'Adrian you need to get out of there now!' Professor X mentally snapped at him.

"Tony…" Adrian said getting up, Iron Man held back the trigger softly "Come out quietly." Iron Man said as the boy got up slowly behind the tree digging his nails into it his eyes blood vessels starting to leak into his eyes "Your offer, I'm going to take it." Adrian said.

Iron Man kept his cannon trained on him, "I'm going to take it… AND IM GOING TO SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR THROAT!" He yelled ripping the tree out of the ground and throwing the roots end right at Iron Man.

"Jarvis full power now!" Iron Man barked as he blasted the tree to wood chips right before Adrian flipped over the blast "How stupid do you think I am Adrian!" Iron Man yelled, "You think you can pull my punches cause you're a kid?" Iron Man snapped as his scanners saw Adrian was behind him holding a very large boulder and smashing it right onto Iron Mans helmet "GRA!" Iron Man yelled as his helmet cracked under the shattering rocks making his scanners go offline. Adrian then web zipped up into, the trees brushing up against the leaves.

"Jarvis give me a scan." He ordered under his helmet as everything he saw was statically blurred "Apologies sir, the breach has disabled a majority of my abilities I will attempt to reconfigure them." The AI replied to the avenger. Iron Mans helmet kept scanning the darkened forest.

"Adrian listen to me, its over, Caps gone, I didn't want it this way, and I don't want it with you either but you're forcing my hand." Iron Man said as Adrian stuck to the wall above him "Think of your family, Aunt May was shot your dad is god knows where and so is Mary Jane." Adrian grabbed the top of the branches moving through the trees as silent as a sloth.

"I know you're in here because I've scanned hours of your combat data there nothing you won't do I won't know." Iron Man said as he held his cannons u. The arachnakid slid around on his web in silence, "So come on, you want to be a superhero like Captain America, then come on." Iron Man said holding his arms out wide letting Adrian have a free shot. Adrian had climbed to the upper branches before opening his mouth "You know I've had a lot of time to think Mr. Stark."

Iron Man looked around trying to identify the source of his voice "… About what?" He asked the boy.

Adrian crawled through the shadows as his voice echoed around the room "Lots of things, my dad, myself, the world... you." Iron Man walked into another room as Adrian crawled into it before him his voice echoing from it. "When I wasn't sure I did some research, read a lot of books here in their library and you know what, I found out I like poetry and there was one poem...one that reminded me perfectly of you," Adrian said behind a large piece of machinery before slipping away again.

"All... hail... the conquering... hero, On'e Perseant. The one who oppresses us all, Lording over our minds with honeyed words and sweet nothings." Adrian said crawling up the wall "All hail the conquering hero. Those who speak the truth against him are delusional fools." He added as Iron Man stopped in his tracks "I see what you're trying to do Adrian, it won't work I stand by my actions." Iron Man said behind his helmet as the boy continued.

I have to be quick he's not fast, but he can hit hard.

"His words and servants exploit the loopholes in our minds, to make himself greater than those he is actually equal to" Adrian said crawling onto the ceiling "All hail the conquering hero." He growled

He's alone, no Ms. Marvel, Yellowjacket, clone of Thor, he thinks I'll listen to reason or he can beat me.

"Who inspires inaction in our hearts, who spreads the plague of ignorant stupidity to all he can." Adrian's said moving like a predator stalking his prey from above.

I have to do this he needs to pay for what he's done.

"To keep them from realizing his tyrannical rule and condemn those who see the truth." Iron man's headlights scanned the lab for Adrian "All hail the conquering hero" he added his voice bouncing off the walls

To the Avengers, the country, my friends, my family, and to me.

"To him, the masses are not but fools, we to him are sheep to herd, livestock to slaughter." Adrian was breathing hard but quietly his voice was steady with each movement he made "This isn't going to changes anything Adrian, if you'd actually stop and listen to me you'd see that" Iron Man begged.

I can't let him get away with it.

"All praise the conquering hero whose mortal wealth exceeds the whole of man's combined, All praise our oppressor who fooled us into thinking he's our hero," Adrian said from the darkness.

He betrayed everything we fought for, everything Captain America fought.

"All praise our shepherd who controls our minds, all praise our new age for it is our hell and it is the devils of greed we praise."

Iron Man was just below Spider-Boy, "Are you finished." Iron Man said below him "Cause I've had enough of you trying to guilt trip me, I've gotten enough from the press, from any one of us too stubborn to realize that registration is what's best for the country and from Peter, and I won't take it from a spoiled little brat, it's time to wake up Adrian time to grow up."

"You should try looking up." Iron Mans head snapped upwards to see a Spider-Boy grab two sides of the ceiling tearing them off and smashing them right onto Iron Man. He didn't stay down for long, stark rocketed upwards tackling him up through the branches. Adrian slipped out of Iron Mans grasp and wrapped his arms around Iron Mans kneck pulling him off his flight pattern.

They smashed back into the ground where Adrian flipped off shooting a web around a tree and swinging back around, Iron Man saw him coming half his helmet smashed off. But Jarvis was back on "Sir, the target has used this straight on attack often, suggest throwing a fake punch, the target will flip over your arm and attack flank, suggest counter move by propelling upward." Iron Man heard him and did as Jarvis said throwing a fist right at the boy. Adrian saw him coming and shoved his hand out onto Iron Mans arm flipping over his arm. Iron Man ignited his rockets and flew up grabbing Adrian and tackling him through the branches of the trees.

Adrian dug his hands into Iron Mans arms trying to pry them open, "Jarvis

Prime SPIN tech." he ordered, "Yes sir."

Iron Man primed a small dart holding the nanobot and shot it in the neck of the enraged Adrian.

AAHH What the hell!

Adrian held onto Iron Man right "Activate." Iron Man ordered Jarvis and instantly the spider boys entire body was shocked making him yell before clenching his teeth "Feel that Adrian?" Iron Man asked as the shocking stopped and he started to feel weak.

Whats happening, his arms just became like Adamantium.

"That's' Super Power Inhibiting Nanobot Technology, we use it to depower heroes and villains alike who don't comply with the SHRA." Iron Man said as he grabbed Adrian's arms pulling him off. Adrian kicked and swung his legs into Iron man's metal suit and all he heard was a loud

CRACK

"GYAAAA!" Adrian screamed as his leg shattered against Iron Mans leg "It's no use Adrian, the nanobot is in your DNA now negating your powers, means your wall crawling, super strength and all that fiber in your bones." Iron Man said as he started to squeeze, Adrian felt his bones breaking arms first "AAAAAAHHH!"

Yep defiantly bones breaking!

Adrian gritted his teeth biting his lip, his whole face red from the pain "You'll pass out soon from this, you brought this on yourself."

He's right I… I-I... Can't…

Adrian's body went limp his bones almost crushed as he fell against Iron Mans chest, "I'm…I'm…" Adrian growled holding in the pain spitting up blood "You'll what?" Iron Man asked as Adrian raised is head the blood around his mouth turning black and stretching across his body, all wounds opened started to seep the black liquid of the symbiote and his eyes going red like his original mask but the black suit covered his whole body with the red spider appearing on his back and chest like the original venom with red squares on the back of his hands "I'm going to kill you!"

The voice of the symbiote growled Iron Man felt his arms pried open, "I thought that might draw you out you alien son of a bitch?" Iron Man said looking at it right in the eye. This one was different from the first time it came out, not as monstrous or feral, the symbiotes form still moved and bulked over the body. "I didn't even know my mother." It said he brought up both legs and kicked Iron Man right off him back to the ground. He shot his fist up and blasted a web-like tentacle. It wrapped Iron Mans chest and the Symbiote covered Spider-Boy pulled it toward him, Iron Man blasted his chest cannon incinerating the webs but Spider-Boy managed to dodge as he grabbed onto Iron Man and started to slash claws across the Iron suit making scars and sparks.

"Jarvis activate sound cannon." Iron Man said as the Symbiote started to coil around Iron Man suit, as its chest opened around the chest cannon and activated.

BWOOOM-BWOOM-BWOOOM-BWOOM-BWOOOM-BWOOM-BWOOOM-BWOOM!

MY EARS

The symbiote roared in agony and so did Adrian before driving both its clawed hands it ripped out the sound cannons one after the other "That the best you can do?" it asked him, "Not by a long shot." Iron Man said grabbing the Symbiote by the neck and ripping it off him and throwing it to the ground. Iron Man flew down landing on him "You all think I'm just a guy in a suit with a bunch of toys?"

The Symbiote covered Spider Boy clawed and thrashed as Iron Man held him down and smashed a rocket fist into him then holding down its palm charging his hand cannon "You think I got to where I am because I was a rich kid, well I don't have to prove a damn thing to any of you?" Tony said as he blasted into the symbiote burning away the alien flesh around the boy "Cause guess what freedom fighter?" Iron Man said as the Symbiote was being burned "All those so-called files that you and Fury took weren't for the prison."

What, no its a lie, how does he know?

"Fury used you because of how gullible you are." Iron Man said as the Symbitoe receded into him leaving Adrian panting hard burned and bruised under Iron Mans grip "The same amount of gullible that Steve had that got him killed, thinking you could beat me." Iron Man added as the SPIN tech nanobot burrowed deeper into Adrian "That spin tech feel good?" Iron Man asked as Adrians body started to go limp "It's got three sets of files on whose powers to negate Peters, Venoms, and Carnages…" Iron Man let go and held up his armored wrist to put his finger on a button "Enjoy." Iron Man pressed the button and a electroshock rushed through Adrians body. Even though he had survived other shocks like this never without the symbiote or his powers before he slipped into unconsciousness.

LATER THAT EVENING

STARK TOWERS

The New Avengers were all standing around in Stark Towers upper levels for the Avengers. "Where did Tony say he was going?" Wonder Man asked Ms. Marvel as the two of them stood next to one of the large thick windows "Tony said it was something important, he'll tell us when he get back if he needs to." Marvel said back to him as Sentry stood apart from them gazing out the window, Black Widow was standing by the elevator when it suddenly dinged and a Shield medical team came out "What are you doing here, we didn't order for a medical team?" she asked "Director Stark ordered us in Agent Romanov." A cape killer Captain with four guards said walking in speaking directly to one of the most dangerous women on the planet.

"Tony's here." Sentry said as they saw him fly toward the tower and land on the balcony outside and under his arm was Adrian battered, broken and beaten. The Heroes all looked at them with different and similar looks. Sentry barely turned his head, Aries, and Black Widow just cocked a brow. Ms. Marvel gapped at first like Wonder Man but she shut her mouth. "Can we finally move on to something else." Stark said as he carried the boy to the medical team that had a bed with iron clamps on it already set "Get him to the medical wing." Iron Man ordered the Cape Killer Captain who saluted "And Captain." Iron Man said handing him the codes to the SPIN tech nanobot in Adrians body "If that symbiote even thinks of coming out, fry it." The Captain took the codes and nodded "Yes sir."

As they took the boy away Iron Man removed the cracked part of his helmet and walked over to the bar and took out a bottle "Jarvis send a message to the press that Adrian Parker has been captured." Iron Man said pouring himself a drink "Alright, we have him you know that means Peter will come after us, maybe the others too." Ms. Marvel said to him.

"Good, we'll set a trap." Tony said sipping the drink "We should bring more people in on this one, no more of this one on one stuff." Black Widow said giving her strategic advice "Do it, they won't come at us for some time, they'll have to plan and prepare and so will we." Tony said looking back at them.

Everyone started to file out of the room by door or by window, all except Carol who walked up to him "So what do we do with him now?" she asked.

"We figure out how to get the Symbiote out, contact SWORD and look up all of Fury's old files on Carnage, Venom and Peter." Tony said as he didn't look around "Thats an order Captain." Fury said giving her the cold iron shoulder, Carol didn't look hurt but she was a bit taken back before she left seeing he wanted to be left alone. Later that night as the sun started to set Iron Man had finished the bottle "Sir?" Jarvis asked over the buildings intercom "Whatever it is it can wait?" Iron Man asked him "No Sir, I am only informing you about the unregistered Quinjet, whose trajectory is aimed directly at your current position in the tower sir." Iron Man shot up and looked back the Quinjet just as it touched the glass, It smashed through the glass and metal right into Tony exploding in firey flames and ripping apart the interior of the Avengers Tower, Iron Man pushed of a jets bow as the cockpit had opened and standing on top of it was Spider-Man. He looked right down at Iron Man under his black suit and said "I warned you."
