Ashely (Ash) J. Williams. The chosen one, he has managed to face off against, hoards of deadites, the Necronomicon, and an evil version of himself and lived to tell the tale (over and over again). And he's managed to put things back to normal...for the most part. He's traveled through time and all across the world searching out and destroying deadites. More recently he survived a couple of days in a world filled with super powered zombies, he and a few hundred other survivors were sent to random universes by the good Doctor, Doom. Ash only had one request of his new world "a world with no damn zombies" and surprising as it is he got his wish.
Now Ash is in another version of New York, in another Marvel universe under the full moon. Being chased down by a group of super powered werewolves. He carefully considered his options, turning and using the only weapon he had, the hand he stole off a Doom bot, and blasting at them until it ran out of power, (while saying every profanity he could think of,) or running his ass off hoping his dumb luck was outweighed his bad (while saying every profanity he could think of). It wasn't a very hard decision.
Fortunately Ash's 'plan' actually payed off, while running a women in a white costume, with long white hair appeared from nowhere and began running right alongside of Ash. She pulled two small metal spheres from her bag she handed one to Ash, and threw the other over her shoulder. Neither of them looked back to see the sphere break open when it hit the ground, neither of them saw it releasing a huge cloud of silver dust, which made most of the werewolves turn and run the other way to avoid making contact. The Hulk-wolf was the only one with another plan, he did a mighty jump and landed several dozen feet in front of the pair. When he turned Ash was already very close to him and seemed to be attempting to deliver a right hook to the beasts jaw. The Hulk bit down on Ash's hand and then he threw Ash into a building several feet away like he was a chew toy. The Hulk swallowed the last bit of Ash that was left in between his teeth. When he began advancing on the women in white, after a single step though he began to howl in pain, smoke began to flow out of his mouth, and he vomited back up Ash's metal hand. He looked where the woman had been then to where he'd tossed Ash, but they were both long gone.
"That was incredibly stupid!" The woman whispered with a slight accent while dowsing Ash with a spray bottle. They were hiding in an ally a block or so away.
"Hey it worked didn't it!?" Ash whispered back.
"Yes it distracted him, it also did a good job of pissing him off. Listen we need to return to my temporary base until the sun comes up."
"Yeah that sound swell let's just skip to your house while the were-heroes sniff us out, and who are you to call the shots sweetheart I've been in some pretty tough spots before."
"You really are an imbecile aren't you, what did think the spray was for. It conceals our sent that's why they didn't find me. And as for who I am, I am Silver Sable, international mercenary, oh and if you decide to make a remark about my name being silver and werewolves being after us, I will castrate you. Now that I've introduced myself, we have to move, stay quiet, and stay alert."
"Just give me a second doll face I don't fill whole just yet," Ash pulled the metal hand he stole from the Doom bot out of his shotgun's carrying case and slid it on his arm. He was able to wiggle the gloves fingers just fine, "nice still gonna miss the old one, we had some good times together." Sable gave Ash a questioning look, "that is not what I meant."
"I honestly don't care right now, I'm leaving, if you want shelter for the night I suggest you keep up."

Do to the special spray, Sable's skills, and her infrared goggles, they were able to make it back to her hideout with only one unfortunate encounter. Luckily Ash was able to fry the furry lizard beast with two shots from his power glove, and without alerting any other attention. The hideout was a hotel room in a mostly destroyed single level hotel complex. The complex was clearly a dive before the 'heroes' ravaged it looking for food. The room however was more then adequate for Sable's purposes. When they knocked they were met with the business end of four rifles. There were three men and a women in the room two of them dressed in normal street clothing, while two of the men were in some kind of uniform. The two of the men in uniform ushered them in guns still raised, the women closed the door behind them. Then she and the other man each pulled out a knife and walked toward Ash and Sable respectively.
"I don't think so kemo-sabe." Ash said taking a step away from the man coming at him with a knife.
"Relax, they are only testing to see if we are infected." Sable commented, as the woman placed the side of her knife against Sable's face.
"Welcome back miss Sable." The women said sheathing her knife, the man guarding Sable now had his gun turned toward Ash.
"Heck of warm welcome," Ash grumbled, but still allowing the man not pointing a gun at him, to push his head back to place the side of his knife against his throat.
"Dude's human, Ms. Sable."
"Thinks for the newsflash Einstein. If I weren't I be covered in fur wouldn't I?"
"It's a necessary precaution these shapeshifting werewolves can become their wolf form whenever they want and can appear to be whom ever they desire even under the full moon fortunately they retain their weakness of silver."
"Yeah that's fascinating." Ash walked past them and looked around, all the walls were covered with what looked like aluminum foil, and the window was boarded from the outside. Ash noticed a bunch of boxes on the side of the room, some had canned food, some had ammo, some had silverware, one was full of backpacks and duffel bags, and others had weapons sticking out. Ash smiled grabbing a double barreled shotgun.
"What do you think your doing punk?" The man without a uniform asked.
"I'm replacing the old boom-stick, for the second time this week I might add."
"Who the hell do you think you are?" The same man asked.
"Ashely J. Williams, Williams or the Chosen One to a stupid talking book, Ash to everybody else. World traveler, time traveler, recently dimension traveler, S-marts unofficial smart ass of the month for over five years straight, and all around zombie ass kicker." The man opened his mouth to talk. "And if you're going to say, 'there's no such thing as zombies,' might I remind you that you live in a world full of super powered freaks, and werewolves."
"That's quite enough Mr. Williams, and Eric let him have the gun. He already has a laser blaster, that makes the shotgun seem like a tinker toy." Sable said calmly.
"See laser blaster." Ash said while giving Eric the finger with his metal hand. Sable sighed.
"Mr. Williams let me introduce the Wild Pack. You've met Eric." Eric was a skinny African American that put the knife to Ash's neck. "This is Alison," Alison wasn't in uniform but she was an experienced policewoman. "This is Ivan and Bruno they were part of my team pre-werewolf," Ivan and Bruno were generic military men, muscular, and had flat tops, "there were five of us then."
"There's five of us now." Eric commented which resulted in a slap to the back of the head courtesy of Alison.
"She means her original team, idiot." Alison turned to Ash, "we were brought in because we were hiding here before they showed up, we would have been dead by now if it weren't for them."
"So the whole worlds overrun with werewolves, huh?" Ash said thinking to himself out loud.
"No man, just New York." Eric interjected.
"Eric is correct, fortunately Mr. Fantastic sealed the world off from New York with one of the Baxter buildings force fields, long enough for SHIELD to construct a proper barrier. Unfortunately the force field and the barrier that have kept the werewolves from escaping have had the same effect on us." Sable sighed and continued. "Some of the worlds greatest super heroes were here and are now...infected. We'll be heading for the Baxter building at sunrise. When the sun is up they still have the hunger and animal abilities, to a lesser extent of course but we still must be careful."
"So why did you hang around here if it's always dangerous why not leave before the full moon? Don't get me wrong I'm glad you didn't."
"Because we needed supplies Mr. Williams, that and Mr. Fantastic thinks that the werewolves will be weaker after they revert back to their human forms, well perhaps not weaker, no exhausted, groggy, and they may have headaches. They should simply be drained from being in their wolf forms."
"That's it, your waiting through a full moon because they might be hungover in the morning?"
"That and the fact that they finished off Galactis the kind. They shouldn't be hungry after that, not to mention they have hundreds of people they keep in the Avenger's manor to feed on. After this big hunt they'll probably just relax feeding off their food supply for a while." Sable informed him.
"And what do we think about their 'food supply'?" Ash said looking around the room.
"Dead!" Eric stated flatly.
"We could still save them." Alison countered.
"We've discussed this, we will save them, but not until we're ready. Now It's time you four took a rest Mr. Williams and and I will be on watch for the next few hours."
"I'm honored."
"Don't be, she's normally on watch alone," Eric commented, "though she might talk a little more then these guys."
"They don't speak English." Alison said as they all laid down on the floor a few feet away.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
It was only a half an hour before Sable's curiosity got the better of her. She asked how he ended up with the glove, what he was doing out in the open, in a world filled with bloodthirsty super heroes, and what he meant by all the stuff he said to Eric. Ash (as always) was happy to tell his tale, he even stopped looking for new toys in the box full of weapons. He told her about The Necronomicon, his girlfriend and what was supposed to be a quiet weekend in a secluded cabin.
"That certainly sounds like a zombie movie to me." Sable commented
Told her about the how the deadites stopped his escape at every turn, and how his girlfriends severed head bit his hand infecting it.
"Why didn't it affect you the same way it did the others?" Sable said which made Ash think she was trying to disprove his story.
"I've thought about that and it was either because their evil power had been forced out of me that morning, I'm the chosen one, or because the spirits of the Necronomicon like to watch me squirm."
Then he told her about being sent to the past leaving out no detail, not even the unflattering ones.
"So you were sent to retrieve the book and you for got the words to the spell? That is hilarious." Sable said with a smile.
"Hey I didn't forget the words, I forgot one word." Ashes said in his defense.
"Yes but who were you trying to convince?" Sable let out a giggle but quickly suppressed it.
"You know for a mercenary, you've got a nice laugh."
"You realize I was laughing at you, and don't change the subject Ash, I find the retelling of your psychotic episodes quite amusing."
Ash didn't defend himself, and he didn't point out that she had called him Ash. He continued eventually telling her how he died. He didn't remember how exactly it had happened, but he told her about walking toward the light some baggage checking angle telling him he had to leave his chainsaw, and then being bitch slapped out of heaven, into another dimension, by a costumed zombie after giving him both barrels with him not even flinching.
"And that's how you got here that still doesn't explain the hand."
"I'm not finished yet. That didn't send me here but it sent me to a universe just like this one."
He told her how a superhero attacked him and how he in turn mistakenly helped a supervillain escape, How he warned the Avenger of their impending doom.
"In hindsight I guess I shouldn't have shot their speaker," Ash admitted, "Thor, I think it was, bent my shotgun like it was made of rubber, and they all thought I was nuts."
"I wonder why."
"Don't get smart with me I was right, kind of, but no one believed me until it was too late."
Ash was going to continue about how he met Frank Castle better known as The Punisher but abandoned him when he tried going ballistic on the zombie's. Since Ash knew it was pointless though he did take Castle's goody bag. He was going to tell her how he, Dazzler, and Scarlet Witch saw a corpse which was that's universes Ash and how they all went to Latveria in search of the Necronomicon only for him to find out that it was useless endeavor. He was going to tell her how he summoned an army of the undead to stand against the army of flesh maddened zombie superheroes. Allowing Von Doom the time to save the Latverian refugees and Ash by sending them to other dimensions. He was going to tell her, if it weren't for Wolf-Spider sticking one of his fist through the wall.
"Wake the others now." Sable commanded. Wolf-Spider pulled his hand back and screamed.
"Silver!!! Sable you," Wolf-Spider said with a mix of anger and sever pain, "hey Silver, Sable." Wolf-Spider managed to say in a friendlier voice, before wincing while pulling the sticky silver foil off his arm. "I miss not having a obvious vulnerability." Wolf-Spider got a whole in his stomach thanks to Ash's shotgun.
"Your obviously vulnerable to that."
"I told you to wake the others." Sable hissed.
"They're awake...now." Eric and Alison were in fact awake and were on their feet, but the other two continued to sleep, do to the fact that they were trained to get as much sleep as possible when they could, and to ignore disturbances mainly gun fire. Alison and Eric were waking them when Wolf-Spider's hands came crashing threw the window.
"Here's Spidy!"He yelled and began coating everything in his way with his web. "That bullet wasn't silver but it still hurt! But soon you'll be in this wolf spider's web."
"Wolf spiders don't have webs." Sable retorted, she had tackled Ash and they were safe under the window. "Are we hunting alone now Spiderman?"
"It's Wolf-Spider and never hunt alone that's something you're little group taught me." Wolf-Spider said and stopped spraying his web. Just then the door was knocked off it's hinges, standing in the door way were two female werewolves, and a male one. The first female had red fur and was wearing normal torn designer clothes, the second had white fur and was wearing an all black getup, with (oddly enough) white fur on it's V neckline, and the male Ash recognized from his first moments in the last universe, thanks to the fact that he was still wearing his red leather suit with the horns, even if it was torn up.
"My wife and I decided to go out to diner another couple this evening." Wolf-Spider said looking through the whole he made in the wall.
"Here's you appetizer." Ash reached for Wolf-Spider's head with his metal hand, but he quickly darted to the other side of the building and was standing with the other werewolves.
"Good news, Ash these are the only ones here." Sable told him.
"Yeah I decided to keep my family together, except poor, old, delicious Aunt May."
"Can we stop chatting Spider, I'm starving." The white furred werewolf said.
"Eat this, bitch." Ash fired a large laser blast. The white furred werewolf ducked out of the room. The two males lazily leaped out of the way to the other side of the room. The red furred wolf on the other hand didn't jump out of the way and was hit directly, the blast burned the flesh off her bones.
"Mary Jane! You son of a bitch! I'll kill you!" Wolf-Spider jumped at Ash, who brought up his shotgun instinctively. He didn't get the chance to fire though, since Sable sliced off Wolf-Spiders head.
"Go after Black Cat, I'll handle Daredevil." Ash listened and ran outside, Daredevil didn't even try to stop him. "How did you find us?" Sable asked taking a fighting stance with her blood covered swords.
"Partly because of Wolf-Spider's improved spider sense, but mostly because my super hearing got pushed up another notch. Don't feel bad you just had to be breathing for me to find you."
There was a flash outside and then they heard Ash yelling.
"No, it can't be out of ammo not yet." Daredevil smiled.
"Sounds like he'll be gone soon, then it'll be just you and me and Cat makes-" there was another flash and Ash walked in.
"Check your math, and like I said it couldn't be out of ammo, and it wasn't," he raised his shotgun, "and neither is this."
"Smart, now wait until my signal." Sable charged Daredevil, forcing him to jump back. Sable was leading him into a corner, so he began go on the offensive, slashing and biting blindly (pardon the pun). Sable dropped her swords and did a back flip to get away. "Shoot him."
Ash did as she said and fired the his shotgun's remaining round into Daredevil's chest. It didn't do much damage, but it managed to push Daredevil into the corner Sable was forcing him into. Daredevil new all most everything about that room before they entered, but one thing he never found out was that the color of the walls were silver. Every wall was coated with paper thin sticky silver foil, and Daredevil had been pushed into a corner. The burning pain was so strong he had forgotten about his 'prey' and was now tearing off lumps of his skin to remove the silver.
"Hey Fido." Ash was standing over Daredevil holding one of Sable's swords, he then started hacking at his head and spine. Sable walked over and stopped him, she took the sword she looked down on the pain stricken face of werewolf Daredevil's face.
"These things can't come back without a heads." She told him raising her sword.
