After school Peter was in the courtyard and was passed by Adrien who was still giving him a look. "Sorry about my bud Adrien; he has too much of a blind soft spot for Chloe. I'm Nino." said a black boy with glasses and a hat giving Peter a friendly smile. Peter waved to him as he then walked up to where Ganke was with Alya and Marinette.

"We were just discussing the heroes you guys have in America; so what do you like?" Alya asked and Peter thought he could get into the conversation and see if it leads to him learning anything about Ladybug and Cat Noir.

"Well I love the Avengers; especially Captain America with his physic defying shield. In fact there is a bigger Cap fanboy in this guy called Coulson who works at the company I intern at." Peter explained and then there were people shouting. People said they saw on their phones there is now an Akuma villain down the street of the school.

Peter and Marinette grew alert and Peter shouted "sorry I have to go and meet my Aunt May..." Peter said running to the exit with Ganke looking at his direction oddly.

"I have to go meet my parents at the bakery..." Marinette told them running to another direction. Alya sighed already used to this with Marinette but it seems like Peter was like this as well.

In an undisclosed underground base it was the headquarters of HAMMER; a group of rogue SHIELD agents who were disillusioned with the organisation or had been dismissed for various reasons. They had allied with several mercenaries to promote their agenda which was anti SHIELD and anti superhumans.

In the main office seated a man in a wheelchair and grey hair; he was HAMMER's leader and founder former SHIELD agent Felix Blake. He had resigned from SHIELD in anger following a permanent back injury when he was against a terrorist cyborg. It had caused him to become mostly wheelchair bound and soured his view on enhanced humans; led to him going on his campaign.

He had a new plot which involved a supervillain he had hacked some databases to allow her to be paroled by one of his HAMMER spies in the NYPD; she had been giving back the confiscated tech that she had used. He had gotten word that Fury had sent Spider-Man to France to research the heroes using the Miraculous' there.

He knew he was choosing correct in the villain they were using for this job; she had faced the masked spider freak before and had almost killed him.

He had himself wheel chaired out to the main lobby of the base; there was a long black haired thin woman with octagon shaped goggles and a dark green bodysuit. She had an electronic harness and connected to it from the back were four clawed limbs made from soft robotics.

"Welcome to HAMMER; Doctor Octavius. I'm Commander Felix Blake the director of HAMMER and I hope we can trust you on the mission we have for you." Blake told the woman.

Doctor Olivia Octavius or Doctor Octopus as she was dubbed by the media had been a scientist who worked at Alchemax but turned to crime when she was fired for dangerous experiments. She had fought Spider-Man and was the first to give him a serious battle.

"Please Felix; call me Liv as its what my friends call me." Octavius told him with a big smirk as she had been thinking of what she could get up to now that she was free.

"We have our Quinjets ready to take you to Paris, France. The so called superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir and the villain Hawk Moth use magical objects called Miraculous and we want you to research and capture them. As an added bonus Spider-Man is there and you can crush him." Blake explained to her and she grinned in delight.

He heard of the legends of the Miraculous and he knew HAMMER could make better use of the powers of creativity and destruction than a couple of stupid teenagers. With their power plus the power of Hawk Moth's Miraculous to create villains; they could crush the Superhumans of the world.

They would be able to take down SHIELD and he would have himself installed as the public face of protection people from Superhumans with him as Director of HAMMER.

For this mission he would be going with Octavius to supervise her. If she failed then he had a backup plan. They had stolen Stark Tech bought from the mercenary known as the Ghost and he had Agent Anne Weaver use it to create a weapon to take down the so called heroes himself.
