Chapter 27: New Members
Hey everyone I'm back. Now I appreciate all of you sending me ideas on who should be on the Avengers which inspired me to get this chapter out. I hope you like the first members I chose in this chapter. Please Review and Enjoy.
From beneath his mask Spider-Man had a look of panic on his face as multiple missiles were coming towards him.
Firing his webs Spider-Man grabs onto one and changes its path so it crashes into the other missiles creating an explosion.
However, flying through the smoke was Tony Stark in a red and yellow metal suit with a glowing center, this was Iron Man.
"Come kid at least make this a little entertaining." Iron Man said as he punched Spider-Man knocking him to the ground. "If you want to be an Avenger you gotta step up your game."
"Oh you mean like this?" Spider-Man fires a web hitting Iron Man in the face blocking his view as Spider-Man leaps at him and throws a series of punches of kicks knocking Iron Man backwards.
Ripping the webs off Iron glares at Spider-Man. "Not bad kid."
Firing two webs they latched onto Iron Man's chest as Spider-Man activates his electro webs zapping him.
As Iron Man screams in pain he reaches down and grabs the webs ripping them off. "Uh oh." Spider-Man said in fear.
"My turn." Iron Man yanks Spider-Man in by his own webs and punches him in the gut knocking him onto his back.
Spider-Man tries to get up but before he could recover Iron Man grabs him by the arms and throws him across the room and crashing into the wall.
Spider-Man opens his eyes to see Iron Man having multiple red lights aiming at him.
"If this was a real fight you'd be dead." Iron Man said before taking off his helmet to reveal Tony.
"So this is how strong an Avenger can be." Spider-Man groans as Tony walks up to him.
"You're good kid, but not enough to beat me. You are in dire need of backup." Tony said.
"I know, but it's not that easy. There's a ton of students here and I need to choose from all of them." Spider-Man said.
"You're not picking friends for a game of dodgeball; you're picking people who can help you save the world. Think about who you've fought alongside and which ones you work best with." Tony said before walking inside. "We're done for today. Hopefully, by tomorrow, you'll find someone."
After training, Jaden took off his mask as he slowly made his way to the cafeteria for lunch thinking about Tony's words.
'Let's see I've fought alongside a handful of the students here, but even so that's still a lot. Out of all of them who can I trust to have my back?' Jaden thought as he looked out to see all the students eating lunch and talking.
There was Ms. Marvel hanging out Harley, Poison Ivy and Zatanna, Diana talking with Bumblebee, Starfire and Iron Fist, and Barbara with Cyborg, Beastboy, and Flash.
As he looked around he came to a stop when he saw Black Panther walking to a table and he realized he and Panther have had lots of practice fighting together including when they defeated Electro and Kraven. He'd make a great Avenger.
"Hey Panther!" Jaden calls out getting his attention as he deactivated his mask to reveal T'Challa.
"Jaden? To what do I owe the pleasure?" T'Challa asks as Jaden sat down across from him.
"T'Challa, I need your help with something." Jaden said getting his attention.
"What's the situation?" T'Challa asks as Katana walks by.
"Saving the world kind of situation." Jaden said causing Katana to stop in her tracks as both she and T'Challa grew interested.
"I'm putting together a team and I need people I know I can count on and can fight the battles others can't." Jaden said.
"Interesting. What's our team called?" T'Challa asks.
"The Avengers." Jaden said as a grin appears on Katana's face while T'Challa grins.
"I'm in." T'Challa said as they shook hands.
"Meet me in the training room tomorrow at 1 and we'll have our first training." Jaden said.
"I'll be there." T'Challa said as Katana walked away.
'And so will I.' She thought wanting to see what the Avengers were all about.
The next day, Spider-Man and Black Panther were facing Tony as he got into his Iron Man suit.
"So, you finally got a teammate?" Iron Man asks as Black Panther nods in acknowledgment.
Little did they know the back door was open just a crack and Katana was peeking inside.
"Hope you can handle two of us." Spider-Man said as he and Black Panther took a fighting stance.
Raising his arms Iron Man fired multiple blasts at them.
"Look out!" Firing a web Spider-Man swings out of the way while Black Panther does a series of backflips dodging the blasts.
Extending his claws, Black Panther charges forward and slashes at Iron Man who quickly takes off into the air.
Swinging in from below Spider-Man shoots two webs at Iron Man's feet and tries to pull him in, but Iron Man was much stronger than him and pulled Spider-Man up into the air with him.
"Sorry kid, but this flight is for one person only and that's me. Happy trails." Coming to a stop Iron Man sends Spider-Man flying downwards and crashing into the ground causing Katana to gasp.
Running at Iron Man, Black Panther leaps at him, but Iron Man dodges the attack and blasts Black Panther sending him crashing next to Spider-Man.
"If you guys are the Avengers, we're in serious trouble." Iron Man said as he aimed missiles at them and fired.
Without even hesitating Katana rushed in through the door and slices the missiles in half with her sword.
"What in the?" Black Panther asks standing up.
"Katana? What are you doing here?" Spider-Man asks.
"I'm here to sign up for the Avengers." She smiles turning towards him.
Spider-Man was speechless hearing this, but he was happy to hear that he had some backup.
Offering him a hand Katana helps him up.
"Well it's clear we can't beat him going at him one at a time. We gotta work together to get even close to him." Spider-Man said.
One of us will have to keep him busy while the rest of us goes in for the attack." Katana said.
"I can draw his fire my suit gives me protection from most attacks." Black Panther said.
"Alright Avengers let's go!" Spider-Man said as the three of them charged.
"Alright, now we're talking." Iron Man said as he flew in and fought off all three of them.
As Black Panther slashed at him with his claws, Iron Man blocks them before grabbing Black Panther's arm and blasting him at close range.
Charging in Katana swings her sword, using his other arm Iron Man catches the sword keeping both heroes at bay.
"A for effort kids, but not good enough." Iron Man said.
"I think you're forgetting someone." Katana smirks as Spider-Man swung in and kicks Iron Man in the chest knocking him to the ground.
Iron Man tries to get up and fly, but Spider-Man and Black Panther leap at him and grab his arms pinning him down as Katana points her sword at his chest.
"Looks like win." Katana said.
"Yeah sorry to tell you this but no way in hell." Iron Man said as his chest core charged up and fired a beam sending Katana flying back.
"Katana!" Spider-Man gasps when Iron Man blasts both him and Black Panther to the ground.
"See how much of a difference having a team has? Maybe next time you kids will do better." Iron Man said as the three of them groaned in defeat.
"Alright Avengers, assemble up and get some rest." Iron Man said leaving.
'Avengers Assemble…I like that.' Spider-Man thought.
That night Jaden was sitting down with T'Challa and Tatsu as they clinked their sodas.
"Well Avengers, I say we did pretty good together." Jaden said.
"Agreed, with a little more training we could be a force to be reckoned with." T'Challa said.
"And when we find some more members." Tatsu said.
"We'll find some in the meantime we'll just have to work hard to manage this and our school schedule." Jaden said as they finished their drinks.
"Good night fellow warriors." T'Challa said going to bed leaving Jaden alone with Tatsu.
"Hey Tatsu, I was wondering, how did you know about our Avenger training?" Jaden asks.
"I may have overheard you talking to T'Challa and thought you could use some backup just in case." Tatsu admits.
"Well I'm glad you came, it's thanks to you we did great. I think you'll make a great Avenger." Jaden smiles causing Tatsu to blush.
"Th-Thank you." Tatsu said as Jaden hugs her.
"I'll see you tomorrow partner." Jaden said playfully punching her shoulder before walking away leaving Katana with a big smile on her face.
'Jaden called me his partner. Maybe being an Avenger has its perks.' Tatsu thought.
