PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR THE WAIT
Location: Parker Safe house
June 29 2014 6:30 PM (10 hours later)
She laid there and watched as her friends...her family were murdered one after the other by him...unable to move she watches him walk up to her standing over her his face not visible not able to see the look in his eyes...he lines his web shooter up to her head…
"No…No…No…Peter don't do this…Peter nook"
"Ava…Ava dear wake up" a gentle voice tries to soothe the young woman
Ava shot up out of bed taking ragged breaths...she looked around and what she saw surprised her. She and her friends were…alive, they were in the Parker safe house medical bay. May Parker was standing beside her bed trying to get her to calm down, soon the other Ultimates began to wake up.
Sam sat up holding his head "Ow…ok that really sucked…I'm just gonna ask once what in the actual hell is going on?"
"I believe I can answer that question" a voice responded to Sam's question through the PA system
The team looked around and soon a door opened and revealed… "Fury!" they all called out
"In the flesh" the one eyed eagle responded walking in the room stoic as ever but nonetheless happy to see his team awake
"But…Coulson…he said you were dead?" Luke questioned helping Danny sit up on his bed
"I was…so to speak and all of you were shot and or blown up yet here we are" the director went on
"Ok I'm with bucket head with this one give us some answers Fury what the hell is going on" Harry asked rubbing the spot on his forehead where a bullet was supposed to be
Fury sighed slightly but kept his stoic look "Parker...is not really working for Taskmaster he's a double agent, that's the only reason we are still alive it's because he's on a deep cover mission"
"You mean the mission we went on during our 'vacation'…" Ava inquired
"Yes that was a true mission but Parker had his own compartmentalized mission, we suspected Taskmaster might be training Hydra's soldiers so he went in with the mission to take him down by any means necessary"
"You sent my nephew on a suicide mission!?" May asked furiously glaring at Fury
Fury remained stoic "With all disrespect mam, not at all he had a way to get off the island but it didn't go as planned. So as any good agent does he had to adapt, as he continued his mission and offered to join up with him Taskmaster tased him and escaped with him to a previously unknown location"
"And how do you know all of this?" Ava asked in a…less then jovial tone her concern and anger steadily rising
"Spider-man was the one that 'killed' me…" he paused when everyone gasped "…his plan went off perfectly he shrouded my office with smoke screen when he did he passed along a micro drive that was filled with the information I'm relaying to you now and more but most of it Parker predicted and planned. He gathered from his previous encounters with Taskmaster he knew he would take him under his wing either by force or willingly, he knew he would want to use Spider-man against us just to spite. He deduced that he would have 2 possible targets one of them being me and the other being all of you!"
"Wait…wait…wait I'm confused…" Sam exclaimed
"…if he 'killed' you, how are you or any of us alive for that matter?" MJ continued standing next to Sam's bed
Fury continued "I used a LMD with blood pockets in the head and heart where Parker shot and stabbed me as for you…" Fury pulled up a holoscreen that showed a bullet on it "…this is a specialized bullet built by the Cages it's comprised of 2 capsules. Upon initial contact the tip of the casing injected you with Tetrodotoxine B a drug that slows the pulse to one beat a minute, Dr. Banner developed it for stress. It didn't work so great for him, but we use it for other means..."
"Faking an agent's death?" Danny questioned
"…that among others things, once the drug was injected it triggered the 2nd capsule which released a blood spat to simulate the shot being successful he picked up the bullets while he snuck through the building on his way to me"
"So a little Hollywood misdirection…sounds like something my little Petey would do" May exclaimed
Sam snickered "Filing that nickname away for later"
"And the explosion how did we survive that?" Ava asked still glaring at Fury
Fury face palmed giving a heavy sigh and pressed a button on the computer "Get in here!"
The team looked around wondering who Fury was talking to…until Deadpool just teleported in the room.
"What's up BITCHES your super sexy kinda friendly neighborhood Deadpool has arrived!"
Deadpool turns to the readers "Hi everyone I bet you thought you wouldn't see me in this fic well here I am...and you it's about damn time you put me in this story ShadoKing I mean you've kept everyone waiting long enough for this final chapter while you build your little Marvel Universe and other stories, going off and filming short films and what not. Geez I mean come on half this story is based off my episode in Season 2 and the other half is based off of the much better Teen Titans show but I guess you wanted to add me in to please the fans anyway carry on you fucktwat!"
Everyone looked around the room and then back to Deadpool wondering who the hell he was talking to while Fury just shook his head and continued "I hired your old friend Wilson here to get you out…I would have asked Nightcrawler of the X-men do it but they were off on another mission"
"Aw come on Nicky tell the truth you missed me didn't you" Wade runs up and hugs Fury
"Wade…" Fury growled as the merc with the mouth continued hugging him
"Ok can we get back on topic…so Deadpool saved us and Spider-man is not a traitor is there anything else we are missing?" Harry asked as he checked his armor
Fury sighed "There's more..."
June 29th, 2014
Location: Taskmaster Island
Time: 7:30pm
Upon returning to his Island, Taskmaster sent his men and Spider-man off to rest after a successful mission. Upon completing a training course he went off to a secret room. Upon entering he walked up to a console and input a sequence of commands seconds later several holoscreens appear in a circle surrounding him.
"Report Taskmaster" one of the figures on the screens spoke
"Project Superior is a success I've managed to completely turn Spiderman, he has proven himself by killing his former teammates, Nick Fury and single handedly taking down the Avengers save for Thor who wasn't present at the time" the mercenary reported
"Truly impressive and where are the Avengers now?" another figure asked
"We have them captured and awaiting orders for what to do with them" the skull faced man responded
The man in the middle screen remained silent for a moment "We will send our operative Crossbones to collect the Avengers prepare to send them and the boy to one of our other facilities we will deal with the Asgardian in time"
"Understood Taskmaster out" he bowed before the screens disappeared as Taskmaster left the building he failed to notice a Spyder on the wall high above the door its mechanical eyes having just recorded everything
Elsewhere in the Base
While Taskmaster met with his superiors Peter Parker sat in his uncomfortably small room going through the day's events how he hoped his plan for his team went off smoothly and they were safe in the…well the safe house. It was the next mission Taskmaster had for him that really pissed him off.
Flashback
June 29 2014 12:00pm
Spider-man and Taskmaster sat in the helicopter with the rest of their squad while Ultimates Tower was burning from the explosion. Peter could hear sirens headed toward the large building.
Taskmaster placed a hand on Peter's soldier bringing him out of his thoughts "I'm actually proud of you Parker you actually went through with it but I wonder can you handle your next mission with the same ease?"
Peter growled "What more would you have me do I killed Fury and my friends wasn't that enough"
The villain smiled beneath his mask "Believe me we are just getting started…now I want you to take down the Avengers"
"WHAT!" Parker yelled
"Defeat and capture the Avengers and your Ultimate Test will be complete"
Location: Avengers Tower
June 29 2014 1:30pm
Spiderman snuck through the halls of the tower looking for the Avengers thinking of how he was going to take them down hating himself for even having to think about it. He stopped in the shadows as he made his way to the living room he watched as they dragged themselves in and flopped down on the couch or a seat. He took note that they were tired possibly just coming home from a battle, he noted that Tony was already out of his armor no doubt in his lab for repairs, Hulk had reverted back to Bruce Banner he knew he'd have to take him out first lest thing get difficult, the others were still in their battle gear but looked worse for wear whatever battle they came back from must have taken a toll on them this would work for his advantage he also noted that Thor was not present.
'No doubt the battle must have taken place in Asgard.' he thought
Upon his arrival he hacked Jarvis' systems and now he was ready to put his plans in motion. He spoke into his communicator "Mr. Stark you wanted me to inform you if anything happened at Ultimates Tower"
"Yes Jarvis what is it" Tony asked letting his body relax on the couch next to Bruce
"An explosion occurred while the team were eating breakfast I have not been able to locate any life signs"
The Avengers all remained silent with the news they just received they were getting ready to bolt for the Quinjet but soon the door was blocked by a large glob of webbing. Before they could process what happened Banner yelled out in pain and fell to the floor beginning to turn but it stopped they then saw a small Spyder pull it mechanical fangs out of the Bruce's back.
"What the hell is that?" Hawkeye
"Ahhhhh" soon Tony began to yell out in pain as his body convulsed being shocked with electricity and then he fell to the floor knocked out another Spyder was attached to him
"We're under attack stay sharp Avengers" Captain America stated grabbing his shield
"Yea but who's attacking" Sam asked activating his wings
"I have an idea" Widow stated looking around the room he stingers armed and ready
Soon their questions were answered as Spiderman dropped down in front of them.
"Spidey y…you're alive?" Sam asked as he let his guard down slightly
Spiderman said nothing and he lunged at Falcon who narrowly dodged him flying up. Peter anticipated this and shot a web line attached to Sam's flight pack pulling himself up he shot two web globs into the thrusters of the pack and then as Sam was falling kicked him down further so the landing knocked him out. Spiderman quickly jumped up dodging Cap's shield and as he landed he ducked the shield again. He saw Widow coming for him the two quickly engaged in hand to hand combat and while Widow was damn good Spiderman was faster. She tried to shock him but he turned her arm back to her and make her shock herself dropping her.
He sensed it before he even fired it, Spiderman caught the arrow and tossed it up in the air so it could explode. Quickly he jumped up webbing up Sam and Widow as they lay there and headed for Hawkeye, Cap was in the way but he jumped over him and caught two more arrows tossing one away and the other back at Hawkeye who caught it as well but didn't see the Spyder attached to it as it shocked him he was met with a swift kick to his face knocking him out. Spiderman stood up to see that all that was left was Captain America, the two stood silent for a moment waiting on the other to make a move.
"Spidey…if you are the real Spider-man I don't know why you're doing this but it ends now"
Still remaining silent Spiderman using his right hand shot a web directly at Cap causing him to block with his shield which is exactly what he wanted, using his left hand he shot a web at his foot and pulled both with all his might dragging Cap across the floor. In quick succession he let go and shot two webs at the wall and pulled himself closer to Cap kicking him in the face knocking him against the wall. Cap quickly tried to get up and go for his shield but Spidey webbed both his hands holding him back, but this was Captain America we're talking about. He brings his arms together yanking Spiderman close to him and kicking him away grabbing his shield but as he looked up he was met with Spiderman's boot to his chest he got up again and the two engaged in hand to shield combat Spidey easily dodging Cap's swipes and blocking his punches while quickly jabbing him left and right soon he saw his opening and he caught the shield as Cap swiped it at him again and flip kicked the soldier back hard against the wall landing on one knee holding the shield with his right arm. He heard Cap about to get up so he quickly tossed a Spyder on to him and shocked him knocking him out.
Spider-man stood in the middle of his handy work and it really made him sick to his stomach as he radio's in. "It's done Taskmaster prep for pickup"
"Well done Taskmaster out"
Present Time
June 29 2014 7:45pm
Spider-man sighed remembering this event it wasn't part of his plan, however this part of the plan was the real wild card he had no idea how it was going to go from here on out but he knew this…it ended tonight one way or the other. While he sat there lamenting over his thoughts his Spyder came back into his room he reviewed it and knew that now was the time to strike. As he put the mechanical spider away, his door opened up to reveal Taskmaster.
"Parker on your feet its time…come with me" as he said this he left the room prompting Peter to follow him
"Where are we going?" Peter asking in an annoyed tone
"You've proven yourself and it time for you to meet our benefactor" Parker remained silent as they travel causing Taskmaster to speak again "I told you when I first met you that I could offer you something better than the life of a hero was I not right"
Peter clenched his fist and deepened his voice "Yes you were...I am far superior than I was thanks to your training"
Taskmaster smirked beneath his mask "I'm glad to hear you say that because your brighter future starts now" he stated as the two continued to walk through the giant base
Location: Quinjet En Route to Taskmaster Island
June 29 2014 8:00pm
The Ultimates all sat in silence as they headed to their mission, throughout everything going through their minds one thing was clear: They were going to bring their friend home!
Ava looked out of the window still unclear of how to feel about all of this, she takes a deep breath and closes her eyes.
Ava looked around and saw the darkness surrounding her she then saw the green light of the Tiger Spirit and walked toward it. The Tiger knew she had a visitor and wasn't pleased.
'YOU ACTUALLY GRACE ME WITH YOUR PRESENCE I WOULD BE HONORED IF I WASN'T TRAPPED WITHIN THIS FORSAKEN AMULET' she let out a shallow growl
"Look…Tiger I didn't lock you into this amulet and I wouldn't even know how to let you out…and I'm sure not one of the others holders of this power has ever thanked you for gracing them with your power but I come to you now to say…thank you for giving me the power to save lives and protect so many people…"
The Tiger spirit was speechless in all the years being imprisoned in the amulet no one has ever thanked her for her power. She spent centuries loathing the amulet holders and here is a young girl in a line of men thanking her for the power
Ava got on her knees and bowed her head "…and I come to you now asking…begging to please bestow upon me the strength to protect the one I love"
Taken aback by this the Tiger asked 'WHAT WILL YOU DO IF I GIVE YOU THIS POWER?'
"I will find him and save him…I will use the power you give me to continue to protect the earth"
'I WILL CONSIDER THIS...LEAVE ME TO THINK HUMAN'
Ava opened her eyes and regained her senses. Danny who was sitting in the seat adjacent to her laid a gentle hand on her shoulder
"Are you alright my friend?" he asked sincerely
Ava smiled and nodded her head "I will be once we bring him home" Danny smiled at this and nodded
Luke was in the cockpit focused on the mission at hand aiming to bring his friend home and hoping...praying that Jessica woke up soon. Jocasta alerted him that they were getting close. "Ladies and Gentlemen we are 15 minutes out from the target prepare what you need, our stealth tech will hide us from any anti-air weaponry but I'm sure we'll hit some ground forces upon landing."
"Finally I'm itching to unalive some skullfaces" the team all stared at him "Geez lighten up kiddies were only going into a dangerous island filled with hydra goons, henchmen and who knows what other deadly weapons it's gonna be a blast" Deadpool called out much to everyone's annoyance
The heroes sighed but prepared for battle Ava then thought back to the briefing…
Flashback
Location: SHIELD Safe house
June 29 2014 6:45pm
"He what!?" Ava yelled at Fury
"Taskmaster ordered Spider-man to take down the Avengers and he did" Fury responded
"Ok yea no…us I can understand but taking down the Avengers not even Spider-man could do that alone I mean come on they have a Hulk" Harry exclaimed
Fury in order to stop further outburst played the footage he took from Avengers Tower. The team watched on in awe as they watched their friend...take down the Avengers alone. Deadpool sat in front of the screen watching while eating a bag of popcorn he pulled out of god knows where. Once the footage ended there was silence...
"Whoa..." was all Nova could get out and the rest of the team simply nodded
"The Avengers had just returned from a battle in Asgard and Spiderman took advantage of their fatigue even if they hadn't been tired I think the result would have been the same." Fury paused "The only one who wasn't present was Thor who is here now and along with War Machine they will assist you in rescuing Spiderman and the Avengers"
"Aye young heroes we must hurry if we are to save our friends" Thor stated standing in the doorway with War Machine behind him as they walked in
Deadpool leaned over to Nova "OMG its Thor dude think he'll sign my butt?"
RECORD SCRATCH
"Really ShadoKing sign my butt is that all you can think of for me to say for shame"
"Team gear up and prepare to head out thanks to Spider-man we have the location of Taskmaster's base it's time to bring our boy home" Fury ordered
They all began to prep for their mission. Harry got in his suit and ran another check with War Machine helping him out and commenting on how cool his suit was, Luke went to prep the Quinjet, Danny mentally prepared himself while Nova put on his helmet and felt the energy flow through him! He floated over to Mary Jane who was at the computer running checks on the islands defenses.
"MJ you staying here?" he asked
"Yes I wouldn't do much good on this particular mission even with my small amount of SHIELD training" she stated typing away at the computer
"Who are you kidding you'd kick all their asses!" Sam exclaimed smiling trying to get her to smile even with all they've been through today
Mary Jane stopped typing and giggled turning to Sam and standing up in front of him. "Sam please be careful!"
"I will MJ...I will" he said bringing her into his embrace she pulled back and the two shared a passionate kiss before Sam floated away headed to the hanger
Ava walked up to her boyfriend's aunt and hugged her "Mrs. Parker we're going to save him...to save them…I'm going to bring him home"
"I know you will dear please be careful" she said as Ava nodded and headed to the Quinjet
As the heroes got strapped in a holoscreen appeared with MJ and Aunt May looking at them
"Ultimates the island is heavily fortified, you'll run into perimeter checks almost as soon as you land but I have marked a secure area to land the Quinjet, it will take roughly an hour to get there" MJ said as he typed into the computer
May looked at them all "Please all of you be safe!"
Ava smiled looking to Power Man as he fired up the engines "Yes mam Ultimates let's go!"
"RIGHT!"
The team blasted off through the long tunnel of the hanger and exited in the Hudson taking off into the air headed to save Spider-man and The Avengers!
Location: Taskmaster's Island
June 29 2014 8:15pm
Spiderman followed behind Taskmaster as he received a call saying that Crossbone was on approach as he led him to an unknown room. Upon arrival he saw it was a door and the two entered. It was a dark room with only a single circle of light in the middle they stood in the middle of the light
Soon a solo screen appears and a figure appears on it shocking Parker.
"You're M.O.D.O.K of AIM" Spider-man exclaimed
"Well aren't you well informed little spider, Taskmaster tells me that you've done what no other villain has done before…I must commend you on this achievement"
"Yea thanks..." Spiderman tried his best to hide his disgust
"Which is why you should be the one to bring them to me, Crossbones should have arrived by now he will escort you to me we have much more plans in store for you young one…we will meet soon" M.O.D.O.K cut the feed as Peter turned to Taskmaster
"Follow me to the hanger Parker"
Peter stood motionless in the light "…No"
"Excuse me…" Taskmaster turned around
"I said no this game is over Taskmaster I have everything I need" Spiderman responded
Taskmaster growled "You don't want to do this…you would betray me Parker"
"Betrayal, destruction, revenge…maybe you trained me to well" Spiderman quipped quickly kicking Taskmaster back catching him off guard but he was quickly back on his feet
"You ungrateful…" Taskmaster in a fit of rage drew his sword and lunged at Spiderman who sidestepped and kneed him in the gut then spin kicked him away.
"Do you really want to do this you still realize I hold the trigger and can kill your Aunt right now"
Peter slowly walked towards him "You have nothing to hold over me anymore!"
At the moment the building shook as explosions rang out throughout the island. Taskmaster had reports of his soldiers being attacked coming in through the coms in his ear. "What have you done Parker?"
"Simply put Tasky…I played you…I've been playing you this whole time and now…I'm not holding back anymore" Peter lunged at Taskmaster who repeated the motion kneeing Spidey in the gut and elbowing him in the back knocking him down to the ground. He followed up with a quick slash to which Spiderman dodged and sent an uppercut to TM's chin knocking him back
Location: Taskmaster Island
June 29 2014 8:10pm
The team landed on the island and just as MJ said went on the attack, Tiger and Iron Fist stealthily taking out the guards that first spotted them. Then as they made their way through the dense jungle surrounding Taskmasters base they take down more guards all while trying to prevent Deadpool from… 'unaliving' anyone. Upon reaching the outer perimeter Warmachine and Harry picked up that they were about to be met with a veritable army of Hydra Soldiers, Taskmaster's elite and Dreadnaught death robots.
"Alright Power Man you've lead us this far now what?" Tiger asked as while she was still 2nd in command Luke was still in command since Peter's 'fake death'
"Alright listen up Iron Patriot, Tiger get inside and find Spiderman the rest of us will handle these guys and then find the Avengers, Thor and Warmachine take care of the Dreadnaughts but alternate with everyone else you all got the plan?"
"Aye tis a fine battle strategy" Thor agreed
"Alright then Ultimates, Avengers…Deadpool GO!"
The team burst out of the jungle and went on the attack. Iron Patriot, Nova and Warmachine laid down heavy cover fire from the air, meanwhile Deadpool, Iron Fist, Thor and Powerman open up a path for White Tiger who took out a couple soldiers before entering building, Harry broke off and joined her.
Elsewhere
As the battle wages on outside Spiderman and Taskmaster continue their fight. Taskmaster discovered that the entire time he had been training with the wall crawler he had indeed been holding back. His skill to mimic anyone's ability was being pushed to the limit as he tried his best to keep up with a no holds barred Spiderman. The explosions around the base cause the lights in the once dark room to come on and gave more space for the two to fight. Peter landed several successful strikes to Taskmaster only to have him counter the two going back and forth like rivals.
With Tiger and Harry
The two made their way through the base using the Jarvis satellite in space they found a lock on both Spiderman's and the Avenger's positions. As they rounded the corner they come upon more Hydra goons Harry watched as Ava increased her speed and mowed through them using her enhanced strength in conjunction with her SHIELD Tiger Claws to slice through guns and armor.
Harry flew close beside her "Hey Tiger situation aside are you alright?"
"I'm fine Iron Patriot I'm just focused on saving the Avengers and bringing him home…by any means"
Harry was slightly taken back on the way she sounded when she said it and was about to continue the conversation when Jocasta chimed in.
"Iron Patriot you are closing in on the Avengers location"
"Thank you Jocasta…Power Man you catch that?"
Luke was outside walking through gun fire "Yes go free them the more players we have on the field the sooner we can end this"
"Understood…Tiger will you be ok going in alone?"
Tiger smiled beneath her mask "I won't be alone…" she then whispered the last part "…I'm never alone" at this her amulet begin to glow
He nodded and as the two split up Harry found himself in a large hanger and saw Crossbones and several Hydra soldiers trying to load the Avengers up into transport vehicles.
"What is this Jr Avengers day get him" Crossbones ordered
"Oh no you don't" he readies his replusors
'Impact incoming' Jocasta sounded off
Harry was caught off guard and he was knocked back by the giant fist of a Dreadnaught. He got up and prepared to fight off 2 Dreadnaughts and several guards.
"Well this is gonna be fun" he unleashed a barrage of weapons
Outside
Thor swung his hammer in the air summoning a large gathering of lightning "FOR MIDGARD" he yelled aiming the lightning at a squad of Dreadnaughts destroying them. Warmachine took one of the Hydra tanks and slammed it down on a Dreadnaught and then unloaded a barrage of bullets and missiles onto another one. Iron Fist made quick work of another squad of Hydra goons alongside Power Man who was simply knocking back more goons and then headed to attack another Dreadnaught. Deadpool was to the annoyance of Nova riding on his back like a surfboard, having had enough Nova rolled him off and continued fighting firing a blast at a hydra tank destroying it.
"Hahaha he did a barrel roll uhoh now I'm falling"
Deadpool took out his Katanas and aimed them straight down stabbing them in the head of a Dreadnaught and then it exploded in his face knocking him back.
With Spider-man
He and Taskmaster were still going at the latter was starting to barely keep up with him. Taskmaster threw a punch to which Spider-man jumped over and landed behind him then dodged the villains kick and several more of his punches. Spiderman threw a punch only to have Taskmaster catch it, elbow him and flip him over his shoulder only to have the webhead land on the wall and leap back towards him and kick him back. The two now separated stood panting but still standing at the ready.
"You could have been on top of the world; you have the power to destroy but you'd rather be a foolish hero" Taskmaster growled out
Peter smirked "Why does everyone say that first Ock now you geez I'd rather be a foolish hero than an assassin or a villain I learned time and time again how to use my power to be responsible to take down scum like you and now that I know you're working for someone else I'll take them down to"
"You have no idea the storm that's coming if you continue down this path" Taskmaster stated cryptically taking out his shield and threw it at the boy knowing he would catch it or stop it
Using his waldoes Spiderman simply knocked the shield down in front of him "Is that all you've…what" he spider sense went off again and he braced himself but it was too late as the shield exploded knocking him back hard into a wall the suit took most of the force but it was still damaged in the blast the waldoes were destroyed. Peter pulled his mask off and could feel the blood running down his face his spider sense went off again as he saw Taskmaster lunging a fist at him and he dodged rolled out of the way. The villains fist connected with the ground leaving an imprint he simply stood up and cracked his knuckles like nothing happened.
Spidey tried to stand up but a piece of the shield was lodged in his leg and hurt when he tried to move it, he saw Taskmaster coming for him again and as fate would have it the explosion fried his web shooters. Before Taskmaster could land a final blow he was kicked hard in the face and sent flying back into a computer console.
Peter smiled seeing the familiar white clad curves in front of him, White Tiger stood there claws at the ready her eyes and amulet glowed the brightest green "LeavE HIM ALONE!" she called out her voice mixing with that of the Tiger Spirit catching Peter off guard.
With Harry
"Ok that one hurt" Harry said as he got up and fired a tank missile in to the mouth of one of the Dreadnaughts as it exploded he noticed that the goons were almost done loading up the Avengers he had to time this right or it wouldn't work.
He was aware of the last Dreadnaught coming for him but he aimed for Captain America's transport pod anyway hoping it worked. As he was knocked aside by the robot his blast landed its mark knocking back the guards and freeing Captain America who after a few seconds took note of his surrounding and took action going after Crossbones. After kicking him back he went to free his team.
With Tiger and Spiderman
"Am I glad to see you!" Peter smiled looking at his girlfriend
"I don't know if I wanna kiss you or kill you right now for putting us through all of this" she said slightly turning her head to look at her boyfriend her eyes still glowing
"You can decide once we're alone tonight" Peter quipped trying to stand up having just pulled the shard out of his leg and letting his healing factor do its thing…slowly
She smiled beneath her mask but then turned back to look at Taskmaster who slowly getting up "Rest slinger…I'm going end this"
Taskmaster wiped the dust of his suit "I must admit you caught me by surprise little girl that will never happen again what makes you think you can stop me!"
"Because I would go to the ends of the earth and back for him, because I love him something you'll never know Taskmaster RRAAWWRRR" Ava roared as her amulet began to glow more as white energy began to pour out of it. Peter watched in awe as his girlfriend began to levitate as the energy begins to form around her in the shape of a tiger, the energy was a bright white light surrounded by a green glow. The Astral tiger leapt quickly swiping at Taskmaster who side stepped but didn't expect the astral tail to come quickly smacking him hard against the back wall. He drew his pistols activating laser mode and opened fire only for them to have no effect. He then drew his sword activating its laser mode and lunged slicing an astral claw off as it faded away.
"TIGER!" Spider-man called out but he soon stopped as the claw grew back
Ava roared "I AM UNHARMED...TASKMASTER YOU'VE HURT AND ATTACKED US LONG ENOUGH NO MORE I WILL NOT LET YOU HAVE HIM OR HURT ANYONE ELSE YOUR END IS NOW"
The Tiger continued to pounce at Taskmaster eventually catching him in its mouth and slamming him in the ground several times then releasing him tossing him into the corner of several boxes.
Location: Undisclosed
June 29, 2014 9:00 pm
All of these events were being broadcasted on a screen at another base. "It would seem that things have gotten out of Taskmasters control would you agree heir Strucker?" M.O.D.O.K stated
Strucker sighed "Indeed this will be the 2nd Island that fool has cost me…being the self-destruct sequence"
"Yes sir" a random hydra agent replied before typing away at the computer
With Spider and Tiger
Peter saw Taskmaster wasn't getting up anytime soon he was knocked out, he stood up able to move his leg again when Ava roared so loud it could be heard throughout the whole building and outside it combined with the explosions causing the base to shake. She then stalked over towards the villain growling preparing to end him until Spider-man steps in front of the astral white tiger.
"Ava stop you won its over"
"YOU WOULD STOP ME AFTER EVERYTHING HE'S DONE TO US" her voice sounding completely bestial
"Yea he's a piece of shit but we don't kill he needs to be locked up to answer for his crimes…" she roars in response "…you did it Ava you took him down with this amazing new power but now it's time to calm down"
She kept roaring beginning to swipe and the walls and ceiling causing mass destruction. A piece of debris falls down and Spiderman moved out of the way and without thinking he lept into the aura heading towards her. He was floating like she was, at first it felt weird but then he felt it the warmth of her presence the same warmth he feels when he's around her. He floats towards her wrapping her in his embrace slowly beginning to calm her down as her roaring stopped. He held her close he lifted his head up and lifted her mask up just above her nose and kissed her passionately. She wrapped her arms around him getting lost in the kiss this causes the aura to dissipate and the two slowly are lowered to the ground. One the aura was completely gone the two separate to catch their breath and Ava stumbled a bit only to have him catch.
"Are you ok kitten?"
"Yes Im alright that was the first time I've ever used that power…didn't even know I had it but it takes a lot out of me" she smiled just happy to be back in his arms as she passed out
The building shakes again as Peter picks her up bridal style, he took the com link out of her ear and wrapped her arms around his neck and began to make his way out. "Hey guys its Spiderman Im headed out with Tiger…Taskmaster is down"
With Harry and the Avengers
Harry teamed up with the Avengers to take down the remaining Hydra goons but Crossbones managed to escape from Captain America again.
Ironman who was without his armor was using a very poor designed in his opinion Hydra plasma rifle walked up to Iron Patriot.
"You work well with that armor kid good job when we get back bring it to the tower for some cool upgrades
"Thanks Tony…hang on" Harry paused having heard his best friends message "Alright Spiderman is back"
"Great now let's get out of here before this place comes down on all of us" Black Widow called out
Outside
Powerman gave a powerful uppercut to Dreadnaught knocking it in the air and Thor came down with a hammer smash destroying it as Warmachine and Nova blasted the last of the tanks. Iron Fist slammed the ground dispatching the last of the hydra goons. As soon as they were done they all received the message and proceeded into the building but…soon the entryway exploded knocking them back.
"Damn it hey Nova fly around and see if you can find another way in and…" Luke ordered as he looked around "… wait has anyone seen Deadpool?"
With Spider and Tiger
The whole building began to explode in multiple sections. Peter was running trying his best to shield Tiger from stuff that was falling as they reach an exit his spider sense went off. He turned around to see a broken and bloody Taskmaster holding his gun up aiming at them. Another explosion went off surround them in a ring of fire.
"You'll never escape you know to much they won't let you leave, they've set this place to blow and if Im going to die you're both going with me"
"You're foolish Taskmaster no one has to die we can get you out they were willing to sacrifice you" Peter pleased
The building continued to shake and explode around them "ENOUGH…" Taskmaster sighed "…I've served my purpose and what has been set in motion not even you can stop I can live with that." He took his gun and pointed it to his temple
"What are you doing" Spiderman cried out
Taskmaster smiled beneath his cracked mask "Going out on my own terms goodbye Spiderman…I'll see you in hell"
As if by a cruel twist of fate, the gun never fired even through multiple tries. Suddenly a large light fixture fell on Taskmaster crushing him in an instant. Spiderman was frozen in horror and sank to his knees surrounded by flames. Soon Deadpool came rushing in with a fire extinguisher.
"Come on bugman get your girl and get out of the fire this place is coming down"
Spiderman holding Tiger, and Deadpool rushed out building to see the Quinjet and several SHIELD jump jets hovering above the beach. The explosions begin to grow out of control and they rush toward the Quinjet which has it ramp down. They reached the ramp and took off closing the door. Spiderman holding Ava close and Deadpool lay panting on the hard floor of the Quinjet, Peter quickly got up and took Ava to the medical table aboard the craft. As he did he turned to see his friends looking at him wearily.
"Guys I…" he started before he was tackled by all of them exclaiming how happy they were to have him back. "…you guys aren't mad at me?"
"Dude Fury explained everything" Harry started
Luke punched him in the arm "That's for throwing me out of a window but…I know you had to make it look convincing"
"Yea ya bastard that stupid bullet hurt but it was genius" Nova stated rubbing his chest
"Indeed my friend we understand why you could not clue us in for the deception to work we could know nothing" Danny stated
"Guy I really am sorry for putting you all through this…" he turned back to where Ava was sleeping "…I only hope she can forgive me to"
As the team headed back the Holoscreen activated it was MJ "Guys Im so glad you're ok and…Peter oh my god I'm so glad to see you!"
"Hi MJ I'm glad to see you too…where's Aunt May"
"Im right here Peter" the older woman peered through the screen looking at her son and his friends "I am glad to see you all are alright and…wait where's Ava?"
"She's ok Aunt May she's just sleeping off a Power boost…" she along with his team looked at Spiderman like he grew a second head "…I'll explain when we get home"
"Alright dear I love you"
"Love you too Aunt May Spider out…" he cut the line and turned to his friends…and Deadpool…lets go home"
"Didn't you blow up your home?" Deadpool stated
The chimp sound went off in Peter's head "Oh crap…"

June 29 2014 10:30pm
Both hero teams met up at the Tricarrier. Deadpool shortly after landing met with Fury who hands him an envelope and them disappeared. Spiderman gathers the Avengers in the court and explained everything that happened.
"I'm really sorry guys I made this my mission and it could have gone horribly wrong at so many times"
Captain America walked up to him placing a hand on his shoulder "Son you did what you thought was right and in doing so you took down a great threat, were all just glad to count you back among the living. You and your friends you are the future and someday you'll be better than all of us"
"So how about next time you trust your team and your friends and get the job done together…you know instead of attacking us again" Tony stated rubbing the spot where the Spyder bit him.
"And don't think 'dying' and then coming back makes up for missing your training session now it's gonna be 50x as hard as it was going to be" Widow stated walking up and kissing him on the cheek
Peter didn't even register the kiss still in shock at the fact that she just pretty much said the Avengers were going to kill him during the next training session.
Meanwhile up in the Court's command hub stood Luke and Ava watching their friend as the Avengers filed out of the court headed home. The rest of the Ultimates left and went to their spare rooms in the safe house leaving just the two heroes.
"How are you holding up Ava?" Luke asked
"Im better now but I'll have to train in order to control that kind of power" she responded never taking her eyes off of Spiderman
Luke shook his head "I meant about the whole situation and having him back"
Ava turned to her friend "Oh sorry I was spaced out…I don't know Luke a part of me wants to be absolutely furious with him. He lied to us…to me, made me think that he was dead that's a heartbreak that will never go away even if he is back…"
Luke nodded in understanding as he ushered her towards the hanger "And the other half?"
Ava smiled as they started walking "The other half is extremely happy that he's home, relived that he's alive and glad that Taskmaster was taken down"
By this time that had made it to the hanger and stood by his Power Bike. Luke turned to her placing a gentle hand on her shoulder "Listen I know it's hard having to deal with what has happened over the last few weeks all I can say is that if you love him which I know you do then you have to decide if you want to forgive him or not it's all up to you sis"
Ava smiled and hugged Luke, they ended their embrace "Going to see Jess?"
He got on his bike and revved it up "Yea having Peter back gives me hope that she'll wake up soon"
She smiled at the thought of someone the gentle giant loves very much "Hey Powerman you were the right choice to lead us during his absence you're a great leader remember that!" Ava complemented
"Thanks Tiger" Luke smiled as he put on his helmet and sped off into the night activating his hover mode

Mj sat on his bed holding his helmet in her hands. Everything that had happened over the course of the week and it made her realize life is way too short, she was very proud of her friends and all they accomplish and was proud to be a part of their team...apart of something bigger.
The door opened and Sam walked in wearing gym shorts and a tank top, he was drying his hair having just got out of the shower. He removed the towel to see Mj sitting on his bed.
"Hey Mj...what's up" Sam asked slightly puzzled
Mary Jane said nothing and simply walked up wrapping her arms around Sam's neck and passionately kissed him. It took Sam a couple seconds get into the kiss and he dropped the towel and wrapped his arms around her waist. The two took a short breath and broke the kiss staring into each other's eyes. "I'm just glad you're home" They reengaged the passion intensified, Mj grasped at his tank top and removed it. She then began to lead him to the bed, pushing him down she climbed on top of him removing her own shirt and then quickly began kissing him again. Sam knew where this was going but wanted her to be sure and as she slowly began to kiss from his lips to his neck he took the time to ask.
"MJ are you sure about this?" he asked
MJ sat up and looked at him softly "Yes I am I love you Sam Alexander...I almost lost my best friend...could have lost you I want to live in the moment and I want to live those moments with you"
Sam smiled "Mj I want the same thing...I love you beautiful"
MJ smirked and leaned down to kiss him once again now that it was confirmed Sam's hands roamed her body. Two spent the night in the safe house.

With Fury 10:45 pm
Director Fury sat at his desk having been chewed out slightly by Stark and Rodgers. He knew where they were coming from but it had to be done. He heard a knock on his door and pressed a button to open it, Spiderman walked into the room removing his mask and the door shut.
"Fury..."
"Parker, report"
Peter reported everything that he saw, heard and experienced during his time under Taskmasters tutelage. He then got to the point with the most important information.
"The only one I actually talked to was M.O.D.O.K but there were more during this meeting." Peter showed Fury the footage from his Spyder
Fury stroked his beard worriedly "Something big is happening here something dangerous"
"Agreed should we notify the Avengers" Peter asked worried about what was to come
"No not right now at the moment let's keep it between me and you and soon enough we'll figure out what is going on hopefully before something really bad happens for now good work Parker"
Peter sighed knowing that was going to be the answer "Understood...sir I have something I want to say..." Fury nodded knowing where this might go "...I'm glad the mission was a success but the cost of victory was too high I know they have forgiven me but everyone's trust in me has been shaken. I know I can gain it back but now the thought is there in their heads. I'm grateful for all the training and experiences I've learned while being an Agent of SHIELD but I am not a spy I'm a hero and I have to be that and only that I will no longer be doing any more spy missions of this caliber for you I'm sorry I..."
"Peter stop..." held up a hand and stood up walking over to Spiderman "...I understand kid and for what it's worth I am sorry for what this mission has put you and your friends through I am proud of you all for remaining strong throughout, and I'm proud of you most of all not because the success of the mission but because of the man that you've become in my eye you've past your ultimate test...in my eye you've become the Ultimate Spiderman I know your Uncle Ben would be proud of you!"
Peter smiled and hugged the Director not fearing being beaten or killed but was surprised when Fury simply patted him on the back. "...Ok now get off before I drop you out of the hanger again"
Location: Hospital
With Luke 10:55 pm
Luke was able to make it in time for a quick visit and he sat next to Jess holding her hands praying for a sign that she would wake up soon. He looked up and noticed she had a smile on her face even though she still slept.
"I know you'll pull through Jessica I'll see you soon" he said gently kissing her hand
Location: Safehouse
With Peter 11:15 pm
Peter knew where she was and knew why she hadn't talked to him since they came back. He betrayed her trust, made her think he was dead he couldn't imagine the pain that must have caused her. As he stood in front of her door in the safe house, he was about to knock...
"Come in"
This would have shocked Peter if he didn't know the attributes that the amulet granted her. The door opened and he stepped in and saw her sitting on her on the bed waiting for him.
"We need to talk..." she said looking him dead in his eye
Peter sighed "Yes we do let me start by saying..."
"Stop I don't want to hear another 'I'm sorry'...Peter I get if you needed to fool Taskmaster. It was a part of our SHIELD training I'm not mad that you lied...I'm really not mad at all I was scared...scared that you really were gone that I would never see you again, never be able to feel your embrace again..." he took her hand and gently squeezed it as tears began to flow "...and then you came back and I was scared that some way somehow you had truly turned against us."
"Ava I would never..." he started as she took her hand away
"But you did even though it was planned and you made sure we were safe it was YOU attacking us...I love you Parker I really do but now I don't know how to move forward from this"
"Ava I love you so very much and I never wanted to hurt you...any of you and I'll never hurt you again all I'm asking is for a second chance let prove how much I love you..."
"Peter...I don't know if you can"
