No. Not Kurt. He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't just abandon anybody. But as a rule, he doesn't teleport places he can't see. He did it once tonight, but is it possible he did it again?
Spider-Man didn't have time to think about it. Now, he is targeted by two deadly women, one of which he has never seen before, and he is not leaving the building until he gets the signal. The woman he didn't know was the first one to strike. She launched herself with her weapon ready to pierce the heart of the web-slinger. He dodged it successfully, but slowly. He's losing energy. He can't keep this up all night.
Spider-Sense.
He jumped unto the ceiling to dodge Cat, who charged at him from behind.
Spider-Sense.
He jumped off the ceiling to dodge the flying sai from puncturing his head and landed on the floor on all fours.
Spider-Sense.
He jumped onto the wall after Cat tried to sweep and trip him. He spun a web and tried to contain her, but it was no use.
Spider-Sense.
He jumped off the wall to avoid a punch in the face by the woman.
Spider-Sense.
He tries to jump out of the way of a knee aiming for his stomach, but wasn't fast enough.
Okay. He's done. He dropped to the floor and tried to catch his breathe. He didn't even see the fist heading straight for his mouth. He yelped in pain and laid down on his stomach. He was too tired. Too hurt. He needed to work out more.
He felt someone's knee into his kidney. He could be urinating blood for the next day or two.
One of the two grabbed him and flipped him on his back. It was the one he didn't know. She grabbed him buy his red shirt and pressed her said against his clothed neck. It didn't stop it from bleeding, however.
"Who are you?" asked to woman fiercely. Spider-Man didn't answer. He couldn't. He was still focusing on the pain in his kidney. It was a smart move thought...the kidney shot. He can barley move anymore, much less talk. "WHO ARE YOU?" Now the woman was yelling. Spider-Man had to say something. "Parker," he said softly. That caught Black Cat by surprise. She stared at him which is struggling voice ringing in her head. He tried to speak again, but talking could only hurt him. He had to whisper. "Larry H. Parker. You need an attorney? We'll fight for you.."
That comment earned Spidey a punch in the face. His left cheek felt like it weight 100 pounds. "Stop the bullshit! Why are you after Fisk?" She was losing patience quickly. Black Cat stared down at him with her arms crossed. She didn't say a word, she just watched him be tortured and questioned. Spider-Man saw this, and wondered why she befriended him the in the first place.
"I'm from Bernie's," Spider-Man began to whisper again. "He didn't leave a good tip, so I thought I should come by and-" receive another punch in the face. Know his left cheek felt like it weighed 200 pounds.
"You got some balls," said the woman after tightening her grip on the wounded Spider-Man. "You stay sarcastic after being in a bad position."
"Good thing I have your right hook to keep me in check," he retorted. She hit him again.
More of these punches and Peter would be looking at a broken jaw. He had to find a way out of this. All he needs to do is get on a wall of the ceiling and maybe he could have the upper hand again.
"Well, you should know Mr. Fisk has evacuated the building already," she spoke again hoping to damage Spider-Man's hopes. "So it looks like you did all of this for nothing."
Peter smiled underneath his mask. Too bad the women couldn't see it. "That's funny," he choked out. He could speak again, but it still hurt. "I don't remember ever saying I came here for Fisk." The woman looked surprised.
This was it. He spun a web onto the roof and pulled himself up, punching the woman in her jaw on the way. He then pounced onto Black Cat, which hurt him considerably, and pinned her down. And just like that, the other woman knocked him upside the head causing him to fall.
She didn't waste anytime this time. She grabbed his collar with one hand and spun her sai with the other.
Spider-Sense. Spider-Sense. SPIDER-SENSE.
She was ready to kill him right there...
Suddenly, a giant red flash hit the building causing the whole building to shake. The pulse knocked both Black Cat and the other woman over.
This is his chance. That was the signal. But did Kurt get the girl? He didn't have time to think, he just had to leave. Even though his body was full of pain, he pushed himself up and began to ran to the window. Black Cat saw this. She picked herself up and ran after him. She then jumped and planted a kick on his back sending him right through the window.
His shoulder had to be broken as he soared through that piece of glass.
Black Cat hit the floor hard watching Spider-Man fall from the building. She and her companion both quickly got up and looked down the broken window.
There was nothing. He wasn't on the wall. He wasn't on the street. He wasn't insight at all. All that was seen were people surrounding the building and cop cars approaching. The two both got away from the window to stay out of public sight.
There was a few moments of silence between them. None of them were sure if sending Spider-Man out the window would result in accomplish or failure.
"Interesting," said the brunette. Black Cat looked at her to find a curious look on her face.
"What?" asked Cat out of breathe.
"That kick," she simply stated.
Cat was getting agitated at her partner's incomplete sentences. "What about it?" she asked with impatience.
"He was hurt," the other continued. "He wasn't running fast at all. You could have easily jumped in front of him and stopped him."
"What are you talking about?" asked Cat as she folded her arms while her patience still evaporates.
"You should have known that kicking him like that would have him sailing out the window," the brunette explained. "In fact I'm positive that you knew that. You also knew that he could have easily swung himself to safety."
"Shut Up."
"Not to mention you're fighting," continued the brunette. Black Cat tried her hardest to control her anger. "You could have knocked him many of the times. You were making stupid mistakes...as if you weren't trying to-"
"Elektra!" Black Cat shouted. "Shut. Up."
llllllllll
He landed on a different building...just to make sure he wasn't seen. He's hurt. Badly. Maybe his shoulder isn't broken, but it feel heavy. Scott's car is in his sights, so are all of the rest of his teammates. They were waiting for him.
Spidey tried to move, but the pain was way too great. He did it anyway. He jumped and spun a web that allowed him to swing and land right on top of Scott's red convertible.
"Hey! Hey!" Scott shouted. "I just got it washed."
Spider-Man couldn't even hear him. He took off his mask, and the first person he saw with his own eyes was someone he did not recognize at first. A girl. A little blonde. Suddenly, Peter's face brightened up when he realized who this was. He looked at Kurt, who was also smiling. He knew Kurt couldn't have abandoned them. He regrets even thinking such a thing.
"Hello," Peter said calmly to the girl, who was staring at him from the back seat.
"Afraid it's no use," began Kurt was he put on his seatbelt and getting ready for the trip home. "Looks like she doesn't speak a word of English."
"Tan kyu," said a soft voice. The X-Men turned to realize that it was the Illyana who said it. Her voice sounded calm and scared.
"What?" asked Peter, not entirely sure what she had just said.
"Ta-Tank You"
llllllllll
"You like to be late, da?" asked Colossus. Spider-Man had just arrived at his meeting place with the Russian mutant his body still aches due to the events of the other day, but he was able to make a trip. The Russian also couldn't help but notice the cuts and missing pieces of costume on Spider-Man. "You've had a rough couple of nights, niet?"
Spider-Man laughed at the comment. He wasn't on the wall like usual, rather he was leaning against the wall. No it's really him, he was still exhausted. "You could say that," he said with a smile underneath his mask.
"Did you bring news about my sister?" asked Colossus getting down to business.
Spidey was hoping he would ask...but he did not answer. Instead, a figure irrupted from the shadows behind him. A small, childlike figure. Spider-Man could see the surprise and the happiness in the Russians eyes as he made contact with his long lost sister. He was also sure he saw a tear.
"Piotr?" said the girl soft and sweetly.
"Illyana!" Colossus irrupted with joy as his sister ran into his muscular arms. He embraced her tightly, and did not plan on letting go to soon. Peter's smile grew under his mask as he gazed at this tearful reunion. He almost had to wipe away a tear himself. Piotr turned to look at his sister's savior. "You..did this on your own?"
"I'm afraid not, Mr. Rasputin," said another voice who Colossus did not recognize. Professor Xavier and all of his majesty, and all of his X-Men, appeared just behind Spider-Man. "As it turn out, he had help with some of his colleagues."
"I know you didn't want the rest of us to be involved," started Spider-Man as she got off the wall and stood up straight. "But it necessary. You're free know, Piotr. Magneto no longer controls you."
Piotr Rasputin's smile grew after hearing this, and disappeared just a quickly. "If only that were true," Piotr said as he finally let go of his sister and stood up straight picking her up with him. "Our Mother and Father are still being held in Mother Russia. You freed my sister, and I thank you a thousand times. But, I must remain with Magneto, or he will personally see to it that they will perish."
"And it's you're former employers, the Russian Mafia, that's holding them hostage?" asked Jean Grey, who was standing right behind her mentor, the Professor.
"Da," he said simply and sadly.
"Well, fortunately for you, we have a flight leaving for Russia in 5 days at Xavier's Airport for Gifted Youngsters," said Cyclops with a smile. "Assuming you need to take care of some things back in your homeland, I'm sure we can make room for you."
Piotr felt overwhelmed. He was going to be a free man again, and his family will be safe from Magneto. More tears came to his eyes. "I don't know how I can ever repay you," he said choking up.
"There is something you can do," said Nightcrawler as a matter of fact. "Stop working for Magneto."
"Consider it done," Colossus said immediately. "In five days."
A swell of relief in the sea that is the sea that is my moods. But heart of stone to match the concrete wings remains. You gave that to me that day and now we've gone our separate ways. Good bye day sky, now that the struggle has gone. The clock is ticking but you cease to recognize. Where are you now? What this house meant to me? What does all this mean?
