Ch. 4 "Superior"
Location: New York City
The normally shining sun was clouded by thick grey clouds that seemed to mimic the feelings of almost everyone at SHIELD and the Avengers. The rain falling from the heavens flowing just like the nonstop tears of one May Parker. It's been a week since the death of Spider-man, the team and his friends are dealing with a heavy blow and trying their best to deal with the grief the one hit the hardest was Ava who hadn't come out of his room since returning. Her friends check on her but mostly leave her to her own devices. Fury gave them the week off and seemingly enough nothing really bad happened while they took the time to grieve. They mostly stayed in Ultimates Tower and the Avengers and even Aunt May visited them throughout the week.
The world was not yet aware of the Spider's death and they wanted to keep it that way for now. On Friday they held a memorial wake for their fallen comrade, with only the Ultimates (which include Harry and MJ), Fury, the Avengers, Coulson and Mrs. Parker were all in attendance. Tony was the first to speak.
"When I first met this team I knew they had the potential to become future Avengers, but I knew most of all Spider-man had the heart and the morals to truly understand what the Avengers stood his fashion sense still with standing."
Cap went next "He had a bright spirit he was truly an amazing soldier for justice"
"The Man of Spiders truly had a warrior's heart and is worthy of a place in Valhalla" Thor spoke next
"The kid was a hot mess, but he was a great hero" Hawkeye added
"Bug-man was a great friend" Hulk chimed in sadden at the loss of his friend
Soon everyone else had a chance to tell a story they had or shared about the wall crawler. Aunt May who sat next to Ava was sadden but proud of her son and all that everyone had said about him.
Later in the night
After everyone had left Danny and Sam decided they needed some air and set out to go on patrol. Upon arriving to the hanger they saw Luke already there prepping his Power Bike.
"What's up Powerman you joining us?" Sam asked
Luke shook his head no "Not yet I'm going to check on Jessica"
"Would like for us to join you my friend" Danny offered walking up to his best friend placing a hand on his shoulder
"Its ok guys I kinda need to clear my head with everything that's been going on but I have Jocasta to alert us of any trouble so if anything happens I'll join you" Powerman replied
"Where are you guys going it's close to midnight" Ava asked standing at the entrance of the hanger wearing her robe the guys all turned around to see her suprised not thinking she'd join them
Luke walked up to her placing a hand on her should "Im going to see Jessica and they were going on patrol its...it's what he would want us to do...you don't have to come if you don't want to..."
She opened her robe to reveal her outfit, tossing the robe away she put on her mask "Like you said Powerman...it's what he'd want us to do!"
Smiling the team sprang into action making their way through the city enjoying the fresh air as it finally stopped raining yesterday. Luke was on the ground on his Power Cycle headed toward the Midtown Hospital, meanwhile Nova was in the air and both Danny and White Tiger sprinting on the rooftops, Tiger making use of her claw line swinging almost like her boyfriend.
Elsewhere
A lone figure quickly runs across the New York sky line. Upon reaching the edge the figure lept off the building and dove head first for a building with the name Oscorp on it. Upon reaching the roof he graceful corrected himself and landed with a tuck and roll, he quickly kept moving to crawl through the air duct into the building. The figure searched until he found the armory, tearing the hatch off he dropped down into the armory and found what he was looking for a thermal blaster.
With Luke
Luke Cage could be considered a gentle giant, strong and courageous on the battlefield but all in all a caring and fun loving person. So to have just lost his friend and to now be sitting next to the girl he cares so much about who is in a coma fighting for her life every day.
Luke reached out to take her hand it was so cold he sighed "Jess…I miss you come back to me I know you can…I…I can't lose you too"
'Pardon Master Cage me but there seems to be a robbery in progress at an Oscorp research lab, a silent alarm was just triggered' Jocasta said through his com
"Thanks Jocasta…" he switched coms "…did you guys catch that?"
"Yea we are on the way"
"Understood I'll meet you there" Luke ordered as he headed for the door not before leaning over to kiss Jessica on her forehead he then left the room not noticing the small twitch from her lips
Back at Oscorp
After grabbing the device he quickly exited the building the way he came preparing to escape until Nova flying in the sky arrived first and spotted the perp.
"Got eyes on the target he's on the roof going to engage" Sam said charging up his power
"Nova wait" Luke ordered but of course Sam ignored it already knowing that he switched his bike to hover mode to get there faster
The figure with his prize in tow began to run to the edge to make his escape when it was blocked off by Nova's blast, he quickly began to run the other way until he's blocked again by Ironfist and White Tiger and soon Powerman who made up by way of his bike.
"You've got nowhere to go drop whatever you stole and come quietly" Ironfist stated his fist glowing
They all stood there as if in a stare down waiting for someone to make the first move, soon the clouds that covered the moon receded they all received a massive shock when they find out that the culprit is none other than...
"Spider-man?" Ava asked softly her guard dropped being in total shock
The team looked in disbelief as they saw their leader, their friend or...someone dressed like him standing before them. This so called Spiderman wore a streamlined black suit with a red upside down triangle pattern from his mask to his chest, a similar web pattern covering it and a giant black spider covering it. He also wore two gauntlets on each forearm; this suit was...Superior to the originals design.
"No way..." Powerman said not believing his eyes
"Webhead...you're alive?" Sam asked almost excitedly
Ava was in shock could it be could Spiderman...her Spiderman was still be alive her body began to move on its own approaching him. What happen next shocked them all as he held up the thermal blaster and fired at her and narrowly missing thanks to Nova getting her out of the way. The guys were about to make a move when he quickly produced 5 Spyders and threw them toward them, they exploded on impact and covered him with smoke and fire. The Ultimates only were able to watch as this Spider-man's shadow faded away.
White Tiger sank to her knees her heart heavy 'Slinger...'
Location: Undisclosed
Someone sits in the shadows watching the footage of this Spider-man's theft and meeting the Ultimates.
"Welcome back...Spiderman..." the deep menacing voice called out to the shadows surrounding him. Spiderman walked out of the shadows pulling his mask off "...or should I say Peter Parker"
One Peter Parker stood there an angry glare on his face as he stared at the skull faced man before him "Grrr stow it Taskmaster here's the stupid blaster" he handed him the blaster
Taskmaster got up and stood in front of Peter, his facial expression hidden by his mask he spoke in a calm tone "I'd watch that tone young man, you forget that with the push of a button I can end the lives of your friends and family unless you continue to do as I say!" he said holding up his wrist with the button control on his gauntlet
The scowl never left Spiderman's face as he faced the villain "Sooner or later you'll let your guard down, I will get that controller and the instant they are out of danger...I'm taking you down!"
Peter could sickly tell Taskmaster was smiling behind his mask as he walked behind him towards the lab "Hmph that sounds like a threat...a very good one actually. Betrayal, destruction, revenge we do have a lot in common Parker..."
His boiling point met Spiderman growled and tried to quickly spin around to grab the remote on Taskmasters wrist, but like he should have guessed since the last week the combat chameleon was ready to counter it and grabbed Peter's wrist twisting it behind his back.
"I monitored your vital signs during the mission. Elevated heart rate, adrenaline you try to hide it, try to fight it...but deep down inside on some level you enjoyed stealing for me it was a thrill wasn't it." Taskmaster finished as he released the teen hero
"You're going to keep getting that thrill with each mission I give you and soon you will appreciate being my apprentice...who knows I might even become like something of a father to you" the villain said as he finished the upgrades to the blaster and attached it to Spiderman right gauntlet
Peter looked up to the only visible window and gazed into the night sky "I...already had a father"
Location: Ultimates Tower
The team having returned home distraught as they try to figure out what's going on. Harry and MJ saw them as they entered the monitor womb and could already tell something was wrong as he saw White Tiger run off towards the living quarters and Luke nodding to MJ to follow her. When Harry asked Luke what happened he wished he hadn't.
"Luke please tell me you're joking" Harry asked hoping this was some kind of sick joke
Luke sighed "Wish I was Harry...but we were attacked by Spider-man or someone dressed like him" as he said the the footage from his Power Bike was replaying on the screen
"Man this is messed up in so many ways" Sam commented as he sat in a chair holding his helmet in his hands
"Agreed what do you think is going on?" Harry asked any of the trying to figure out what happen to his best friend
Danny remained silent for a moment before he spoke "I'm...not sure but what I am sure of is that he was our Spider-man I sensed his chi"
"How's Ava taking all of this?" Harry asked
"She's taking it as hard as you'd expect..." Luke replied
Living Quarters
Ava having only removed her mask stood looking out the window as the bright lights of the city shined bright, she was in his room...she'd slept there for the week trying somehow to remain close to him but it only furthered the pain she felt not having him there with her...now she was truly confused on how she should feel right now. Happy that the man she loves could still be alive or angry that someone is running around dressed like Spider-man committing crimes. She sighed as she heard the footsteps get closer she knew who it was by her scent.
MJ knocked on Peter's door "Ava...are you in here?"
"Yea" she replied as she heard the door open and clothes
Mary Jane sat on Peter's bed giving Ava her space while still trying to comfort her "How...how are you feeling right now"
Ava turned to face her friend tears threatening to fall "MJ I...I don't know how to feel right now" she wrapped her arms around her waist wishing so bad that it was Peter's arms
"Do...do you think it's really him..." MJ got up placing a hand on her friends shoulder yes she was best friends Peter...but she could tell this whole thing was affecting Ava on a whole different level on some small level she was almost jealous
Ava dried her eyes "I know it's him...I could never forget his scent...the way he moves..." she looked up "...MJ that was our Peter...my Peter he's alive and I think something is seriously wrong!"
"Well then what are you going to do about?" MJ said in her tough tone trying to bring her friend out of her funk
Ava turned looked out the window 'No more crying I know he's out there' she clenched her fist "I'm going to find him MJ, Im going to save him and bring him home. No matter what mess he's gotten himself into I still love him and I'd go to the Ends of the Earth to have him back right here beside me!"
MJ smiled "Atta girl now come on lets go get the guys and bring our friend home maybe Fury can help"

"Ha"
"Hiyaaa"
These grunts came from Spider-man as he and Taskmaster engaged in a heated sparring session. For Taskmaster it was training gradually increasing his ability to copy Spiderman's moves, for Peter it was his chance to express his anger and rage at the situation. While he could go full strength and end Taskmaster he was too worried about his family and friends so he'd play Taskmaster's game until he finds a way to save them and make a move. Peter executed a triple kick to which Taskmaster blocked the first 2 and countered grabbing his leg and tossing him away.
"You're still telegraphing it's like you want me to see your moves" Taskmaster grumbled
"Hmph" Peter grunted as he landed on the wall remaining silent as he went in for a quick speed combo and wasn't surprised to see Taskmaster becoming more proficient at predicting his moves.
"Still angry good you can use that aggression for your next mission...Parker" Taskmaster smiled underneath his mask as he stopped the sparring match and pulled up the target and what Peter saw enraged him
On the screen in front of him it showed a picture of one Nick Fury with the word terminate under it "No...No fuck you Taskmaster you can't make me I refuse..."
"If you don't I will blow up Ultimates Tower and make you watch" Taskmaster growled cutting him off as he pulled up footage from inside the Tower
Peter watched as his friends all sat in the lounge area discussing something. "...Good they are all in one area it will be easy to kill them and all I have to do is push a button" he said holding his hand up his thumb inches away from the button
Spiderman looked back and forth from the screen to the trigger and gritted his teeth. "Stop...I'll do it"
"Wise choice little Spider...for your next mission I want you to kill Nick Fury"
So yay he's not dead you can stop hating me lol
Chibi Spidey: Well we can still hate you for what you're making him do
