Chapter 6: Choosing sides

Back at Stark Tower, all of Tony's team is trying to recover from their wounds from the battle. In the lab, Reed Richards and a team of scientist are examining Thor and his hammer. Spider-Man walks up to Hank Pym and the Wasp. "You feel ok, Hank?" asked Spider-Man. "No, Peter, I'm not ok. I just watched a super human I helped create blow a hole in one of my best friends," said Hank, "Do you think I'm so remote—so detached—that this would make some impact on me?" "Peter… I'm sorry that he's feeling this way." said Wasp. "It's all right, Jan," said Spidey, "We were all freaked out. This wasn't exactly what we signed up for." "I can't believe we cloned an actual god," said Hank, "Did you know Tony had that strand of Thor's hair ever since the Avengers first formed. What kind of man combs his furniture for hair and skin cells?" "A man with a lot of foresight I guess." said Wasp. "But, I just don't understand why our Thor-clone killed a man. Is he missing a mortal mind?" said Hank, "Do we need to fuse him with a Donald Blake or a Jake Olson in order for him to function right?" Then, the Thor clone wakes up and looks at Peter, Jan, and Hank with a smile, which freaks Peter out. "Do you ever wonder if we picked the right side?" asked Peter. At Cap's base, his team was recovering as well. "Just get a chance? Are you nuts?!" said a Cap hooked up to a harness; "We got twenty more supporters, Dark Hawk. Tony's team is disappearing by the hour." "Who the hell cares? Bill's dead and half of our team's locked up at their new prison… this big complex that Reed Richards is building…" said Dark Hawk. "And you want them to get away with it, Kyle?" said Cap with a death stare. "The way I see it, they have no choice because Thor is on the government's side." said Cable. "That's not Thor," said Cap, "it's just some clone that they've been creating for their team. You think Thor would've killed Goliath?" "Bill died the second he thought he got close to him," said Dark Hawk, "Let's leave guys." "Where will you go, Kyle?" said Cage, "You going to wear a badge and let people boss you around? We are supposed to be volunteers." "No. We are supposed to be the good guys, Luke." said Dark Hawk. Kate Bishop looks at Stature and says "Cassie?" "I'm sorry Kate," said Stature, "But, I just don't want to become like Wiccan. I want to fight Bad guys, not SHIELD and other heroes." "Let them go if they don't care for freedom," said cap, "it's time we ditched this base anyways."

Back at Stark Tower, Wasp, Tony, Happy, and Reed walked through the lab. "How many people are we losing?" asked Tony. "More than we hoped for," said Reed, "a trio of Steve's team thinked about coming to us, but, they do have the advantage this time." "Why couldn't we do the 50 State Initiative like we planned?" said Wasp, "Wouldn't these new heroes help bring order again?" "Yes, but, they're still a month away from being done," said Reed, "We need to move fast and we need people with experience in Super Human combat." "You mean these Thunderbolts you've assembled?" asked Wasp. "After what just happened, it's the only thing action we can do Jan." said Tony. "Their involvement is temporary because they are supposed to catch cap's team, and then, they'll go to prison afterwards." said Reed. "Every single one of them will be chipped and tagged, they will be monitored by nanobots." said Tony. "They don't really look happy to team up with us…" said Jan as she sees villains lined up in the room.

Later, Spider-Man walks up to Iron-Man in his office. "Um…Tony can I talk to you?" said Spider-Man. "Sure. What do you need?" said Stark. "I want to say I don't want any part of this anymore," said Spider-Man, "I want to protect my friends and family and this whole thing might hurt or kill all of them. I hope you understand." "Oh, I understand…," said Iron-man as he flies and rams Spider-Man through a wall, "… TRAITOR!" "Tony… let me explain," said Spider-Man, "I don't have a problem working with SHIELD, but, putting people in the Negative Zone, your brainless cyborg killing Goliath? That's where I cross the line." "You think you'll be able to go back to your old life since the whole nation knows who you are?" said Iron-Man, "This isn't even about you anymore! What about your aunt? What about your girlfriend, Mary Jane?" Spider-Man punches Iron-man through another wall with anger. "You better leave them alone, Stark." said Spider-Man. "I'm disappointed in you, Parker." said iron-man as he tries to blast Spider-Man with his repuslers." As Spider-man dodges each blast, he says "Not as I'm disappointed as I am in myself." he rushes towards a window to escape, but it does not shatter. "Hey. Welcome to stark Tower, where all the glass windows are reinforced." said Iron-man. "Now… where did we leave off?" said Iron-man. But, SHIELD soldiers came in and fired at Spider-man, which knocks him out of the building. Iron-Man runs up to the hole in the wall to see Spider-man. "Damn it!" said Iron-man. Down below, Spider-Man lands on a hot dog cart. "Ow. That was just…ow." thought Spidey as he gets up. Iron-Man lands in front of him. "I trusted you Spider-Man; I took you under my wing," said Iron-Man, "And this is how you repay me?" "No…THIS IS!" said Spider-Man as he uppercuts Iron-Man. Iron-man grabs Spider-man and shoves him against a wall. "Peter, you don't need to run. You're registered now," said Iron-Man, "If you just come with me, we can forget this ever happened and…" Spider-man blinds Iron-Man with webbing and kicks him off and escapes into the sewers. "Tony thinks I gone somewhere in the city. and even if he thinks this might be it, I don't think he'll go somewhere with no space to move," thought Spider-Man in his slightly tattered costume, "Not to mention all these gas pipes waiting for a repulsor blast to go off in his face." "And I don't even know what I'm stepping in, eww," thought Spidey, "At least I'm in the clear for now. Unfortunately, the law will be after me, and with the entire Earth knowing who I am, the question is… Where do I go now?" On the SHIELD Helicarrier, Maria Hill talks to Tony Stark. "Tony, this is Hill. I got word that Spider-Man betrayed us. Remain there and wait for back up," she said, "I'm pulling every agent on the ground." "Maria…I just need to talk to him." said Iron-Man. "Request denied, Stark over and out." Then, she goes to the intercom. "T-Bolts division, I want 14 operatives activated on a sixty-minute trial," she said, "I know we are saving them for the final battle, but, this situation's critical. Invisible mode is essential at all times. Operation Thunderbolts is still top secret!" "Yes, Commander!" said one of the agents. "I knew we couldn't trust him." said Hill. Meanwhile, in the sewers, Spider-man is running for his life. Then, a SHIELD agent spots Spider-Man and sends people in. Then, a toy with a weird nose comes towards Spider-man and blows up, knocking him back. Then, a villain named Jester comes in and laughs. "Well, well, if it isn't Peter Parker," he said, "How does it feel to be the bad guy Pete? How does it feel for the Jester to be the good guy?" Then, the Hobgoblin flies in and tosses a gas pumpkin bomb and it explodes in Spider-man's face. As Spider-man chokes on the gas, Jester throws an explosive yo-yo at Spider-man, which knocks him back. As Spider-man, with enough damage to look like the suit's almost gone, tries to get up, Jester throws another yo-yo at Spidey on the back, which knocks him back down. Then, Hobgoblin comes in and shoves Spider-man against the wall. "At first, I thought this gig was stupid. Working for SHIELD and all." he said. "But when we got permission to kick the crap out of you… Well, what can we do?" said Jester, "We're only obeying orders right?" "I just wanted to do the right thing…" said a croggy Spidey, "Did you know my uncle got shot?" Then, two bullets go through Hobgoblin and Jester's heads, killing them. "Wait... I think I remember you… from a year ago." said Spider-man as he sees the figure in front of him. Later, at cap's secret headquarters, his team was discussing ways to get into the Baxter Building until Punisher buts through the door with a heavily damaged Spider-man in his arms. "WE NEED A MEDIC NOW!" he yells at Cap and his team as his costume gets soaked in blood.

And that's that. Spider-man is officially in Captain America's side in Civil War. Now, the real fun begins! Thanks so much for all the favorites and stuff. Really appreciate it. There will be a Spider-Man sequel for this story when I'm done. And read Spidey's prequel to this too.
