Chapter 26.
Hey everyone. Back with another chapter.
This chapter will cover the highway fight from 'The Winter Soldier', so I hope you're all excited for it.
To differentiate between the two Spider Men, Andrew Garfield's version will be called Peter while Tobey Magirure's version will be called Benjamin.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed or favirouted this fic so far.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters and elements you see in this fic. I only own Jason Stark and any other OC's and worlds you see in this fic.
On with the show.
Aragorn II Elessar: Thanks for the review. Glad it is amazing. It sure is nice to see Astra getting a redemption arc. Glad you loved Tobey and Andrew's Spider Men showing up. Are you sure you aren't reading my mind? Because an Andrew's Spider Man/Sinthea romance was exactly what I was thinking. You will get a conversation between the two this chapter. Yes Tobey's Spider Man and EMH Clint should be Paragons. Glad you are looking forward to more.
SupergodzillaSailorCosmos: Thanks for the review. No spoilers for how Cap and Natasha react to EMH Clint.
OmniUIShaggyOverexagerated: Thanks for the review. Agreed on She-Ra. Sinthea is Red Skull's granddaughter. Totally agree with you on Astra.
No One's POV.
Following the fight at the temple, Rebecca, Lex, Doreen, Clint, Peter, Astra and Benjamin were in the Quinjet, flying towards Washington DC.
Clint was flying the Quinjet as he was a pilot back on his Earth.
"How long till we reach DC?" Lex asked.
"Five minutes" Clint replied.
Rebecca nodded.
Rebecca had managed to track Steve and Natasha down to the house of a man named Sam Wilson.
Rebecca only hoped that they believed her.
The Quinjet landed a few miles outside the house.
"Okay guys, Peter, Doreen, Astra, Clint. I need you guys to stay here in the jet in case we need backup. Lex, Benjamin, you're with me" Rebecca said and they nodded.
After making sure they had all there gear on them, Rebecca, Lex and Benjamin left the Quinjet.
"The house is this way" Rebecca reported.
The 3 of them made there way over to the house.
Rebecca walked up to the door and knocked twice.
A few seconds later, a tall, dark skinned man opened the door.
"Hi, you're Sam Wilson right? I'm Rebecca Potts-Stark. I know that Steve Rodgers and Natasha Romanoff are here. Tell them that I'm here to help them" Rebecca said with a smile.
Sam looked hesitant but did so anyway.
"He says you're legit. Come in" Sam said and let them in.
"Hey Cap" Rebecca greeted him.
"Hey Rebecca. Are you okay?" Steve asked in concern.
Rebecca sighed and nodded.
"Who are you two?" Natasha asked.
"Lex Luthor" Lex introduced himself.
"Peter Parker" Benjamin said.
Natasha frowned at the two of them as she had a sneaking suspicion on where they were from, but she didn't voice it.
After catching up Rebecca, Lex and Benjamin up on recent events, they began discussing what to do.
"We know that Jasper Sitwell is HYDRA" Rebecca said.
Natasha sighed in realization at that.
"Well then how do the 2 most wanted people in Washington abduct a SHIELD agent in broad daylight?" Natasha wondered.
"The answer is, you don't" Sam said, putting down some pictures.
"This is Bakhmala, the Khalid Khandil mission" Natasha said in realisation.
"I read about that. They couldn't bring choppers because of the RPG's" Rebecca also said.
"Sam, you got out for a good reason" Steve warned.
"Dude, Captain America needs my help, there's no better reason to get involved" Sam argued.
"Well then, let's go abduct a SHIELD agent" Lex said with a wicked smile on his face.
A Few Hours Later.
Rebecca, Lex and Benjamin were sitting at a nearby café, waiting for Sitwell to show up.
Rebecca and Lex were in disguise while Benjamin didn't wear any disguise as he wasn't from this Earth.
Sitwell opened his phone and paled when he looked around in horror.
Rebecca, Lex and Benjamin smirked at that.
"I'm looking forward to killing him" Lex growled.
Later Sitwell was pushed on top of a roof as Steve, Natasha, Rebecca and Lex approached him.
Steve asked him about Zola's algorithm but Sitwell denied everything.
"Listen dude. You don't start talking, I'm gonna blow your kneecaps out" Rebecca threatened.
"Yeah right Ms Potts-Stark. Shooting me isn't your style" Sitwell scoffed.
Rebecca just smirked.
"You're right; it's his" Rebecca replied as Lex used his powers to blast Sitwell off the roof.
He screamed as he fell down only to get webbed up by Benjamin and caught by Sam, who was now wearing the EXO-7 Falcon suit.
A terrified Sitwell began talking about Project Insight.
"Who are some targets?" Benjamin asked.
"Steve Rodgers, Rebecca Potts-Stark, Bruce Banner, Stephen Strange, a TV anchor in Cairo, and anyone who is a threat to Hydra, now or in the future" a terrified Sitwell rambled.
Rebecca gasped in horror at the revelation that she was one of its targets.
"How does it know about the future?" Steve asked.
"The 21st century is like a digital book that Zola taught Hydra to read. Bank records, medical histories, emails, phone calls. Zola's algorithm evaluates peoples past to predict the future" Sitwell revealed.
"What happens next?" Benjamin asked.
"Pierce will kill me" Sitwell muttered.
"Insight Helicariers scratch people's names off the list, a few million at a time" Sitwell revealed.
Later, Sam drove everyone to the location on a highway.
"Hydra doesn't like leaks" Sitwell protested.
"Maybe stick a cork in it then" Rebecca said dryly.
"Insight launches in 16 hours" Natasha said to Steve.
"Yes, we can get the access codes to bypass the security" Steve replied.
"What? Are you crazy? That is a terrible, terrible idea" Sitwell exclaimed.
Right at that moment, the window burst and Sitwell was dragged out and thrown into a passing truck, killing him.
"What the hell!?" Benjamin exclaimed as Rebecca and Lex stared in horror.
Natasha jumped into Steve's lap to avoid the gunshots fired from above.
Benjamin grabbed the control stick and shoved it forward, sending the assailant flying where he landed smoothly, using his metal arm to slow down.
He was the Winter Soldier.
All stared in horror at him.
Suddenly, an armoured car slammed into there car from behind, pushing it forward while Lex was thrown out of the car window and beyond the Soldier and landed brutally.
As the car moved forward, the Soldier flipped and landed on the car.
Rebecca frantically tried to attach a nano gauntlet on while Natasha fumbled for her gun.
The Soldier moved forward and tore the steering wheel off, horrifying Sam.
"Shit!" he exclaimed.
Natasha fired several bullets into the roof, but the Soldier dodged and leaned on the armoured car.
Without a steering wheel, the car went haywire and another shove from the armoured car, sent it flipping.
Steve grabbed Natasha, Sam and Rebecca and pushed them against his shield.
"Hang on!" he shouted and they flew from the door, the shield acting as protective padding.
Benjamin fired a web and leapt out of the car just as it went tumbling.
He flipped a few more times and landed gracefully.
Steve, Natasha, Sam and Rebecca got up as the car opened, several Hydra operatives emerging from the car.
"Clint, we could really use that backup now!" Rebecca said urgently.
"You got it boss" came the reply.
The Hydra soldiers began firing there guns while Natasha, Steve, Sam and Rebecca ran to take cover.
An energy blast was fired as Lex emerged onto the scene, battered and injured but still standing nonetheless.
Rebecca fired her nano gauntlet but the Soldier dodged.
An arrow went sailing past and exploded at the car.
Clint Barton codename Hawkeye of Earth-8096 ran onto the scene followed by Doreen and Peter who swung onto the scene.
Astra flew onto the scene and rammed into several Hydra soldiers.
The Soldier took out a device from his pocket and pressed a button as the collar on Astra activated.
Before she could do anything, green gas erupted from the collar, as Astra began choking on Kryptonite.
Astra fell down, badly weakened.
Peter fired a web at one Hydra solder, pinning him down to the car.
One soldier took out a rocket launcher and fired it as Peter, Rebecca and Natasha were sent flying over the bridge.
Steve jumped over as well.
Benjamin swung down to avoid a missile shot and staggered when he landed.
"Scatter!" Rebecca urged as everyone hid.
As the Soldier slowly approached the bridge, gunshots rang out.
The Soldier turned to see Sinthea Smidht codename Sin appear with a rifle in her hand.
The Soldier glared and rushed to engage her.
Sinthea easily blocked all of his strikes, having trained with the best hand to hand fighters in the world.
She then leapt and kicked the Soldier in the chest, causing him to stagger backwards.
She then shot him off the bridge.
Peter ran and turned to look at Sinthea, old feelings for his deceased girlfriend Gwen returning briefly.
"Go I got this!" Sinthea shouted to him.
Peter nodded and fired a web onto a nearby traffic light, before dodging another missile shot.
Doreen grabbed a Hydra soldier and knocked him out.
Benjamin leapt and kicked another Hydra solder down.
A dozen Hydra soldiers fired grappling hooks and landed on the ground.
One fired a missile that sent Steve flying into a bus.
Lex fired a breach to avoid the bullets.
Rebecca and Natasha took cover behind a bus as one Hydra solder fired a railgun at them.
Peter flipped and kicked the Hydra soldier down before catching a punch and incapacitating one other.
Steve got out of the bus and threw his shield which knocked out the Hydra soldier with the rail gun.
Sam and Sinthea were providing cover fire from the bridge above.
The Soldier appeared down below and attacked Rebecca, kneeing her in the face and throwing her away.
Lex tried to attack him but his arm was twisted and he was thrown aside.
Steve threw his shield but it was caught by the Soldier who threw it back at him.
Natasha moved forward and kneed him, but was outclassed.
Benjamin flew in and kicked him backwards.
The Soldier tried to punch but Benjamin caught it.
"Dude you have a metal arm? That is awesome dude!" Benjamin exclaimed as the Soldier looked at him.
The Soldier slammed Benjamin's head to the car, dazing him.
Peter punched the Soldier but he dodged and decked him with his metal arm.
Steve began fighting the Soldier, using his shield to block his attacks.
The Soldier eventually knocked him aside.
Sinthea landed and kicked him backwards where his mask fell off.
Steve looked shocked on seeing him.
"Bucky?" he asked in shock.
"Who the hell's Bucky?" The Soldier asked in confusion.
He then was kicked by Sam.
Several Hydra agents emerged.
"Get down on your knees!" they shouted.
But a man in a golden helmet appeared all of a sudden.
"Fate has declared you will not hinder these heroes" the man said and made all the heroes including the weakened Astra vanish.
When they reappeared, they were in a hospital.
Nick Fury was lying in a bed, still recovering from being attacked.
Steve and Natasha were shocked while everyone else were exhausted and in Astra's case, near dead.
Peter collapsed with Sinthea near his side.
A Few Hours Later.
Natasha was standing in a corridor, outside the hospital wing.
"Hey, you okay?" Clint asked as he approached her.
"I'm good. Who are you though?" Natasha asked.
"The name's Clint Barton. I'm just not from this Earth" Clint introduced himself with a smile.
"I figured that much" Natasha replied.
"You know there is another you on my Earth. My old partner" Clint said wistfully.
"What about your wife and kids?" Natasha asked.
"Me married? Are you crazy?" Clint asked.
Natasha looked at him.
"Looks like some things are different on your Earth" he mused.
Clint just chuckled.
"You seem way too calm for meeting your partner's doppelganger" Clint noted.
"I'm familiar with the Multiverse" she shrugged.
Clint laughed and patted her arm.
Meanwhile, Peter had taken a seat away from the hospital to recover.
"Mind if I sit here?" Sinthea asked.
"Sure" Peter replied.
"Do you mind telling me why you looked like you had seen a ghost when you saw me?" Sinthea asked.
Peter sighed.
"You just remind me of someone I loved" he replied.
"This Gwen lady" Sinthea asked.
Peter nodded.
"She's dead isn't she?" Sinthea asked.
"How did you know?" Peter asked her.
Sinthea grinned.
"I can read most people like they are an open book" she replied.
"I failed to save her" Peter said miserably.
"I'm sure you did your best. It wasn't your fault" Sinthea comforted him.
"I just can't stop thinking about her though" Peter confessed.
Sinthea nodded in understanding.
"You will be fine my friend, don't worry" Sinthea comforted.
"Thank you" Peter smiled.
"Anytime" Sinthea said.
She then hugged him to Peter's shock and soon comfort.
All was quiet for now.
But the final battle was incoming.
And Chapter 26 is done. I hope you all enjoyed it.
I hope I handled the highway fight scene well with all the additions and now Sinthea has joined the heroes. And I don't think anyone's gonna miss Sitwell, he was a bit of a prick.
I hope you all enjoyed the Natasha/EMH Clint moment together. Personally, I believe that Natasha would not be that shocked given how she is already familiar with the Multiverse thanks to Jason.
I also hope I handled the Peter/Sinthea moment well, and I am setting up a romance between the two as Emma Stone plays Sinthea in this trilogy and also played Gwen Stacy in 'The Amazing Spider Man' and its sequel.
Next chapter will cover the whole final battle and ending, so I hope you're all excited.
Until next time, review, follow, faviroute, stay tuned and tell me what you think of this chapter.
