Things just don't go according to plan sometimes
X-23 had started to approach Spider-man.
"Now Laura, I know you're happy to see me and all but you need to consider the fact that-"
X-23 lunged at Spider-man and tried to stab him.
"Come on! Is it cause I call you 'The Wolverette', we can talk about this!" Spider-man said, trying to keep the claws away.
Meanwhile Sabretooth and Wolverine are still fighting, Wolverine noticed X-23 trying to attack Spider-man.
"Laura! What the hell are you doing!?" Wolverine shouted.
"Like it punk? This was our plan, get her under our control, make her the weapon you were suppose to be"
Wolverine growled, "How dare you! I'll fucking kill all of you!" Wolverine shoved Sabretooth back and slashed him a few times, Sabretooth returning the favor.
Spider-man managed to monkey flip X-23 off him but she immediately got up and started slashing at him, Spider-man dodging most of them but getting a few cuts along the way.
"I hope my blood doesn't count as hazardous radioactive liquid", Spider-man said.
Back with the others, Iceman is still trying to fight off Agent Zero, Deadpool is slashing at Johnny, but Johnny is returning the favor with several fire blasts.
Omega Red has his tentacle wrapped around Venom's neck, attempting to crush it but Venom managed to destroy the tentacle and go in for a punch.
Deathstrike is slashing at Black Cat, who is using any high ground she can to avoid it and kick Deathstrike, though she brushed it off and slashed Black Cat on the legs, and then again on the chest area, ripping the top of her suit.
"Quit messing up my suit!" Black Cat punched Deathstrike.
Meanwhile X-23 & Sabretooth are battling Spider-man and Wolverine back to the lab area, covered in scratches, though Wolverine's healed faster.
"I envy your healing abilities", Spider-man said.
"You can heal quicker than a normal human too", Wolverine pointed out.
"Yeah but not in the span of a few seconds!" Spider-man said.
The two opponents rushed in to attack more, generating the attention of the teammates.
"Is that Laura? Why is she attacking Spider-man?" Iceman asked while dodging some punches.
"Did you piss her off Spidey?" Johnny asked while trying to blast Deadpool with fire.
"No! She's being controlled by Stryker!" Spider-man said.
"Must kill enemies if Stryker", X-23 said.
"I knew this was a bad idea!" Johnny shouted.
"Yeah you're all pretty much fucked", Deadpool said, earning a blast in the face from Johnny for his efforts.
Black Cat and Deathstrike continued fighting, Deathstrike had cut Black Cat's suit to the point where her upper body started becoming visible, though covered with some blood.
Wolverine fought off Sabretooth and turned to Spider-man, "See if you can find the source of the control, maybe there's something on her!"
"Right, on it", as she tried to attack him he grabbed her hand and flipped her down, he checked over her quickly to see if he can find anything, though he didn't have time to finish because she lifted up her leg for a kick to his head.
"Kid, you're gonna have to really hit her hard", Wolverine said.
"I don't feel right doing that", Spider-man said, dodging her slashes.
"I know", Wolverine stabbed Sabretooth, "But it's the only way" Sabretooth then punched Wolverine back.
Spider-man nodded and turned to X-23, "Forgive me for this", he started to attack her again but she blocked the strikes.
Omega Red knocked Venom to a wall and started punching him a few times.
"Your symbiote is no match for technology!"
As he punched again, Venom had caught it and returned the punch and knocked Omega Red back, then ran in for a shoulder tackle.
"You were saying?"
Omega Red stood up and rammed into Venom managed to grab Omega Red and toss him to the side, then grabbed his head and smashed it into a shelf.
Meanwhile Zero is still attacking Iceman, even knocking him down and attempting to shoot him but Iceman blocked it with ice and froze his gun, then froze his feet, then got up and encased his hands in ice and punched Zero a few times to knock him out.
"Boom!" Iceman said, then saw Venom's fight with Omega Red.
Omega had picked Venom up with the tentacles and rammed him against some walls and tossed him to the floor.
"Now I finish you", he went to attack but Venom shot him in the face with some substance and Venom got up and quickly tackled Omega Red to the floor and started punching him several times, then picked him up over his head.
"You're the one who's finished!" Venom shouted, he threw Omega Red against some tables, then approached him in a menacing way, intent on finishing him off before Iceman stood before Venom.
"Easy Venom, don't lose your temper", Iceman said.
"Out of the way Drake", Venom said and shoved Iceman aside, as Omega Red got up Venom punched him to a wall, then Venom approached him and punched him a few more times before Iceman grabbed his arm, "Bro that's enough! It won't do good"
Venom growled, "I can finish him off! Just let me continued the assault!"
"He has a healing factor, you're basically just waste-AH!" Iceman said, he was just slashed in the back by Sabretooth, who had a moment ago thrown Wolverine across the room.
Venom went to attack Sabretooth but he was also slashed and then tossed away.
Iceman struggled to get up, though the scars on his back caused pain, with blood dripping out of the cuts.
Sabretooth picked Iceman up by his neck, "Looks like I get to finish one of Logan's pets first", he raised his claws with the intent to strike.
Wolverine got up and noticed the situation and rushed in at Sabretooth and stabbed him to save Iceman, Venom also got up and slashed at Sabretooth on his back.
Sabretooth knocked them both away but Iceman in a desperate move shot ice in Sabretooth's face, causing him to stumble back.
Wolverine then ran in and jumped on Sabretooth and started slashing at him, splattering blood all over, Sabretooth then slashed Wolverine in the face, causing Wolverine to fall off.
Meanwhile Deadpool is trying to slash at Johnny.
"Man I really need more screen time in his fic, people wanna read about me! And I'm just being used as a random lacky! Where'd my agent?"
Deadpool tried to stab Johnny but he moved and accidentally stabbed Deathstrike through her back, the blade popping out through the chest, causing her to scream in pain.
"Wilson!"
"Whoops, sorry about that!" Johnny then punched Deadpool.
The sword stayed in Deathstrike's chest and she struggled to get it out, but Black Cat then kicked the sword to deal more damage and removed the sword and kicked her several times before using the sword again to impale her to a wall.
"That's for messing up my suit, bitch", Black Cat said.
Deadpool got up and saw his sword impaled through Deathstrike, he wanted to remove it but Johnny spoke, "You get too close to her and she'll kick your ass for stabbing her in the first place"
Deadpool thought a moment, "Yeah you're right, I'll get it later"
At that moment Spider-man was thrown against the wall nearby, then X-23 ran in and slashed at both Johnny & Black Cat, cutting them a few times, even completely damaging the top of Black Cat's suit so her shirt was pretty much gone.
Johnny managed to grab X-23's arm and then flipped her over, then Spider-man grabbed her and tossed her away.
"Hey, you two doing-um Felicia...your top", Spider-man said, thankful that his mask, or what's left of it since X-23 cut his face a few times, was able to hide his blush.
Black Cat looked down, her boobs were bare and open, "Oh my, awkward"
X-23 stood up and noticed the situation.
"How come I don't have boobs like that?"
That garnered confusion from the heroes.
"Oh so she snaps out of it for that?" Spider-man asked.
"It's a girl thing Peter, don't worry about it", Black Cat said.
"Wonder if she likes what she sees", Johnny said with a grin.
Black Cat glared, "Yeah, in your dreams"
Spider-man removed the top of his suit and gave it to Black Cat, "Here, this should cover your top"
Johnny also removed the top, it was easy for both since their clothes were slashed, "This could help too"
Both made it so the tops were able to cover torso.
"Thanks guys, you're the best, despite your quirks", Black Cat said.
"No problem", they both said.
X-23 went in for a stab but Black Cat grabbed her arm, Johnny quickly grabbed the other, "Spidey quick, search her!" Johnny shouted.
Spider-man quickly scanned around the restrained X-23 before she broke free, then he noticed something in the back of her head under her hair.
"I see something!" Spider-man said.
"Good, get rid of it so-" X-23 managed to escape to a front flip so she can flip down Johnny and Black Cat.
X-23 then kicked Spider-man, with her foot claw pointed out, while he dodged the kick, the claw still hit him.
"I swear I'm gonna need a blood bank soon", Spider-man said.
Johnny quickly grabbed a radio, "Cloak! Dagger! Get here now!"
At that moment a portal opened for Cloak and Dagger to arrive, they noticed the scratches and dripping blood.
"Oh my, you're all bloodied up!" Dagger said.
"Yeah no kidding, listen we need your help with X-23, we need to keep her restrained enough to remove a mind control device from her", Johnny said.
"On it", Dagger said.
"What about him?" Cloak asked, pointing to Sabretooth who was busy fighting Wolverine, Iceman & Venom.
"Once we get this device off Laura, we can help them, lets go!" Johnny said.
X-23 attacked everyone that came near her, between whacking Johnny down, then monkey flipping Spider-man and Judo tossing Black Cat, then she slashed Dagger's arm before elbowing her down.
When she ran at Cloak he quickly teleported her to the ceiling and caused her to fall, the other heroes then dog piling on her.
Spider-man grabbed the device and started to pull, though X-23 whacked him in the face with her elbow and then escaped the dog pile and tried to stab them all but Johnny grabbed her wrist and then tossed X-23 down.
X-23 got up and kicked Johnny in the face and then tried to stab him while he was down but Spider-man webbed her and tossed her to a wall, Dagger tossed some light daggers at her, impaling her arms and legs, before Spider-man grabbed her and slammed her face down on the floor and went for the device again, this time he was able to budge it, and as he pulled, X-23 screamed in pain as the device came out, though there was a long plug at the end that was apparently lodged into her brain.
Spider-man managed to pull it out, causing a lot of blood to squirt out her head and X-23 to start screaming.
Sabretooth noticed that the others freed X-23, and also upon noticing his team was down for the count, he figured staying wasn't the best choice.
"Well my work here's done, wee you chumps around!" he said as he punched Wolverine, Iceman & Venom, and then tossed a desk at Spider-man's group to knock them off balance, then he ran off.
Johnny groaned, "Damn Sabretooth"
Wolverine got up, "Where the fuck did he go!?"
"Not sure, but look, we managed to help X-23", Spider-man said, and pointing to a wounded X-23 who was rubbing the back of her head.
Wolverine helped her up, "You ok Laura?"
She nodded, "Yeah I am, thanks everyone, would have been stuck under their control if it weren't for you"
Wolverine looked around, "Well most of these punks have been dealt with, now all we need is to find Sabretooth and Stryker"
"And we can help", Spider-man said.
"You all need to get X-23 out of here, you've done your fair share, but I can handle it from here", Wolverine said.
Spider-man groaned, "Seriously? I mean do you expect us to stop now? We're just gonna come back anyway so might as well just let us help now", Spider-man said.
Wolverine sighed and rubbed his head, "Look just sit back, I'm gonna go on ahead, if anything happens then rush in, but keep an eye on her, last thing we need is that they capture her again and use her as a weapon, otherwise my mission would be for nothing"
Spider-man nodded, "Sure thing, we'll watch her"
Wolverine ran off, X-23 rubbing her head, "So that was his main concern? I thought he'd just be worried for me, but I guess he's more worried about what I can do"
"Hey you know how Wolverine is, always tough as nails, I'm sure he cares, he just won't admit that in front of us, he's all macho like that", Spider-man said.
"Well I do thank you for the help, now if you don't mind, I'd like to just go after that bastard Stryker", X-23 said.
"Wait, you can't just go now, Wolverine says to look after you", Spider-man said.
"Well I'm going, I don't want any of you to stop me", X-23 warned.
"Why stop you? We want to help you, if Wolverine needs help, we all go in", Spider-man said.
"Yeah, The Crew's got this covered", Johnny said.
"The Crew? Right you all formed a Super Hero team", X-23 said.
"There's always room for one more, maybe you can be a member too", Spider-man suggested.
"What about me?" Deadpool asked.
They turned to him.
"Wow we almost forgot about you", Spider-man said.
"How can you forget me? I'm one of the most popular characters from Marvel, I'm not gonna end my run here losing to a fight, I want to join you and make a surprise twist!" Deadpool suggested.
The others looked unsure, Spider-man spoke up, "Well what can you contribute to us?"
The others gave Spider-man a panicked glare.
"Well I can shoot, stab and I know inside information", Deadpool said.
Spider-man turned to the others, "Well what do you all think?"
They all looked unsure but reluctantly nodded.
"We'll give him a shot, but if he screws up..." Johnny said.
"Hey I won't, besides if you can trust a crook like Blacm Cat or a villain like Venom, the you can trust the greatest mutant-"
"You're not a mutant", Iceman said.
"In the world", he continued anyway.
"Black Cat isn't homicidal, and Venom at least has a sense of justice", Spider-man said.
"And I can be those things too...sorta", Deadpool said.
Spider-man sighed, "Ok you can join us on a trial basis"
"Sweet! Time to rock this thing!" Deadpool said.
"First things first, we need to wait for Laura to fully reccuporaite, and not just her, we all took damage so we should patch up, and also we need to wait for Wolverine's word, until then let's make some plans just in case", Spider-man said.
Everyone nodded and simply waited for the right moment to strike, whenever that may be.
Wolverine was still storming the halls, looking for Stryker and Sabretooth, intent on dealing with them both.
The final showdown coming.
