Seeing nothing, I stepped forward trying to peer into the gloom. "Strange?" I asked then my Spider Sense went haywire.
Less than a second May and me dodged out of the way as energy blats rocketed toward us. We took various covers as the blats hit home knocking holes twice the size of us in the wall and ceiling.
"That's a heck of a greeting," I muttered from my hiding place and looked over at May.
"We doing this Ben?" she asked and I nodded.
"Oh yeah we're doing this but don't hurt him," I said and we darted out f hiding.
We dodged and flipped over numerous attacks at us and at one point; I was force to form a shield using my webbing. "STRANGE LISTEN TO US!" I shouted skidding back as a spell hit the shield then spinning I flipped over another hurling the shield at him.
It froze in mid air then launched back at us nailing May in the chest throwing her against the wall and the webbing frame came loose and pinned her. I hesitated when I saw this, in that was nailed by a spell, and after being launched off my feet was thrown against the wall next to her. That is when Strange his cape billowing slightly stepped out of the shadows his raised hands glowing slightly.
He glared at us. "WHO ARE YOU! SOME AGENT OF MEPHISTO! WHAT MORE DOES HE WANT FROM THEM!" he shouted.
I glared back at his accusation. "May…?" I said.
"Oh yeah big bro the kiddy gloves are coming off," she said.
I closed my eyes for a second concentrating and opening them I brought my hands together severing the spell. Next to me the webbing holding May burst into black flames and she remained hovering in the air as I dropped to the ground and crouching low spun in a circle and hurled a ball of fire at him from between my palms. Strange blocked my attack with a shield spell by was nailed in the shoulder by an energy blast from May.
I dive rolled under another attack then incasing my webbing with energy hitting him in the ankles. Pulling hard he's launched off his feet onto his back and spinning onto the ground may fires her webbing hitting the wall behind Strange. A small black light from the webbing cuts a large square of the wall and pulling it the section fell onto Strange who phased though it.
I leapt at him my hands incased in energy, grabbed him in his ghost like state, and drove him into the wall despite his phasing spell. Then I leapt up and a spell from May launched from her hands and landing next to her and added my spell to hers. Both of our muscles strain as we struggle to keep him there as he struggles.
"I… think… we… need… more power," I muttered struggling and we reach out and take each other's hand I felt our power merge and his struggles slowly die down.
"You got him," I said breathing hard.
"Yeah he's not going anywhere," she muttered back and the two of us stepped forward. Still holding hands.
"Are you going to be a good boy and listen to us," I said.
He glared at us. "Do I have much of a choice," he growled back.
"Hey you're the one who attacked us!" May barked.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! This arguing isn't going to solve anything! Now if we let you go will you listen to us?" I asked again and after giving me a set of dagger eyes, he nodded.
Slowly we lowered our hands, the energy died away, and he lightly fell to the floor. "The two of you had better have one hell of an excuse or I will not hesitate to kill you both," he muttered.
"Well then let's get one thing straight to the point first Mephisto didn't send us you did," I said and he stared.
"What?" he said in disbelief.
May stepped forward. "We're the son and daughter of Peter and MJ Parker from the world the reality they originally came from. You saved us from obliteration then raised and trained us especially when you found great power in us. When you thought us ready you sent us here to undo what Mephisto did to them," she said.
He looked from me to May and back again. "That is a hell of a excuse but how do I know your tell the truth," he muttered.
"Why would we lie about this?" I asked.
He looked at me. "I can think of a few reasons but if what you say is true then Mephisto knows you're here as well. But I warn both of you now Peter and MJ are my friends and if you two lied to me today you won't live to regret it," he said and I nodded then whipped around extended my hand and a unseen person as thrown against the wall.
"Always were one for surprise attacks Wong," I barked as he appeared out of thin air.
I then turned to Strange. "All we ask is that you trust us even if it's a little," I said.
He nodded and I released Wong who walked over to join Strange at his side. "Remember my words and also remember what this also means," he said then in a wisp of smoke vanished.
"We won't ever forget Doc," I muttered as me and May held each other close.
THE LAIR OF MEPHISTO…
Mephisto watched the events take place as the image floated before him as he sat on his throne of skulls. As he watched, Strange vanish and Ben and May leave the warehouse remasked he sprang to his feet roaring with anger whipping the image away with a wave of his hand.
"YOU MEDDLING WIZARD! I have come too far! I will not allow this to happen!" he roared and some of his minions ran in their terror.
