Chapter 15: The Unbelievable Alpha Pt. 1
BGM: This Is How We Do It- Montell Jordan
["Honestly Talon, darling, you need to stop more crimes in daylight. We can't make profits if you don't show your face more, dear."] Joan said as Laura lied on her stomach as she held her phone to her ear. The feral was currently wearing nothing but a towel as a skilled masseuse tried to work her hands into the mutant's back.
"Every time I do, I end up being swarmed by paparazzi Joan, you know that." Laura sighed.
["Dear, you are the only celebrity that doesn't have to worry about bad press. Nobody is dumb enough to invoke your wrath so why not take advantage of it? Lord knows that New York positively adores you."] Joan questioned making the clone roll her eyes.
"Please quit exaggerating Joan." Laura said in exasperation making the agent snort.
["Exaggerate huh? I'm sending you a link now."] Laura quirked an eyebrow as she received a text with a link to YouTube. The clone clicked on it and had to stop herself from gaping as she saw none other than the mayor of New York and Spider-Man's number one hater, Jameson standing on top of the police station in front of a giant spot light.
["Well I say that it is about time that New York got a real hero! A brave young woman who doesn't have to hide behind a mask to show evil what's right! So I present to you, the Talon signal! It will allow the police to alert her whenever they need an ally!"] Jameson said passionately as the crowd cheered.
"Doesn't he think that I should have at least been told first?" Laura wondered dryly before leaving the video before he could begin another one of his long speeches about how good she was. (LIAG Fun Fact: Jameson made a "Spidey-signal" for the Superior Spider-Man in canon.)
(Bonus Fact: Jameson is in reality a pretty decent guy who always wrote on behalf of equality, mutant rights, and against prejudice of all types. Pretty good guy he just hates Spider-Man.)
"Okay, you weren't exaggerating." Laura drawled as she put the phone back to her ear. "I can get started now, but if I get stopped I'm answering one question and that's it."
["That's all I'm asking for dear."]
"I'll start my patrol now; I'll talk to you later." Laura told the woman before hanging up. "That's enough miss, thank you I feel great." Laura smiled making the masseuse nod.
-20 minutes later-
After leaving the room and getting dressed, Talon got into an elevator and rode it up until she reached the roof.
*Ding*
"Carol, I'm telling you now if you cut your hair it will be the single dumbest thing you will have ever done. Hair is a woman's pride-and hold on I'll talk to you later but don't forget what we talked about." Chun-li said before hanging up her phone.
"Chun-Li?" Talon called out.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you? This plan was amazing." Chun-Li said without looking back as she sun-bathed on the roof and read a magazine that had Team Amazing on the cover. "I think I finally understand what Crimson Viper meant. Besides the random Armageddons, this place is pretty nice."
"You only say that because you have only partied, entered MMA tournaments, and participated in photo-shoots since you've gotten here." Talon said dryly making the woman smirk as she approached her bike.
"You know you have a Talon-Signal now right?" Chun-Li questioned curiously making her sigh with a nod. "Does Peter know?" Talon shook her head causing a grin to appear on the fighter's face as she pulled out her cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Talon questioned curiously causing the fighter to look up at her innocently.
"Nothing…" Chun-Li said slowly with a smirk as she sat her phone down. "Three…two...one-"
"ARE YOU SHITTING ME!?"
Talon shook her head while Chun-Li laughed her ass off as they heard the web-head's enraged shout from somewhere inside the building.
"I'm going to start my patrol a little early since Peter has to show off his project for that high school that's visiting Horizon. I'll be back in a few-what the hell?" Talon trailed off with wide-eyes. Chun-Li raised an eyebrow and looked where the clone was.
"Oh yeah, you're having a movie coming out; gotta say, Joan is one hell of an agent. Apparently it's going to be a series starting from your origin with the group NYX." Chun-Li said nonchalantly making her team mate stare at her in shock. In front of them was a large poster hanging from the side of a nearby building that had a picture of India Eisley standing with her head bowed as two talons sprung from her right fist. Under her were the words "Talon: NYX"
"How could Joan do that without asking my permission?" Talon questioned in confusion.
"Don't get mad at Joan, I told her you said okay." Chun-Li said dismissively. "Payback for keeping you know what a secret from me this entire time." The fighter muttered and Talon had the decency to look embarrassed. Ever since the day after they had beaten Team Invincible, she and Peter had been trying to hide a BIG secret from Chun-Li in order to help her get used to their world. But sadly one accidental trip to YouTube had undone all of their efforts. What was this secret?
Street Fighter.
"My "World" is a damn video game here." Chun-Li said with a slight eye-twitch, Talon shook her head before getting on top of her bike. Taking one more glance at the poster, Talon sighed.
"India Eisley…" Talon trailed off before glancing back to her team mate. "At least it wasn't Kristin Kreuk." Talon said simply before flying off as Chun-Li sent numerous chi blasts at her. (LIAG Fun Fact: Kristin Kreuk played Chun-Li in the movie, Street Fighter: Rise of Chun-Li. Honestly she's probably a good actress but that movie was terrible…in my opinion of course.)
"MODOTTE KURE! (1)" Chun-Li shouted as the feral flew away.
BGM: END
Chun-Li took a deep breath before sitting down in a lotus position and closing her eyes. The gentle breeze of the air moved her hair slightly as a pink aura began to flow from her body.
*Chirp*
Opening her eyes slowly, she glanced at her right shoulder where a small dove had landed. Smiling slightly Chun-Li used her left index finger to rub its head before releasing a sigh.
"[The balance of the Earth's chi is shifting, preparing for a great change…something is going to happen today…]" Chun-Li thought with a frown. "[But…what?]"
-Midtown High-
A blonde haired young teen of about fifteen sighed to himself as he waited for his class to get onto the school bus for their trip to Horizon labs.
"It's just another average day for your overly average teenager, Andy Maguire." The teen thought to himself dryly as his class began to enter the bus. "I wish there was something that could happen to make this day better." Andy thought to himself as he finally managed to find himself a seat on the bus only to find himself next to his biggest crush. "Thank you God! I managed to get a seat next to Chrissy Chen!" Andy thought happily as he took a quick glance at the Asian teen. Chrissy had short black hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt that had a picture of Talon on it and a pair of black sneakers and black framed glasses. Chrissy was too busy looking something up on her phone to notice Andy.
"Okay class; remember to be on your best behavior when we get to Horizon labs!" The teacher ordered, but was blatantly ignored by the entire class. "*Sigh* Stupid dead-end job…" The teacher muttered before sitting down.
"Come on Andy! She's right there! She's just as into super heroes as you are, you already have a conversation starter so just say something!" But sadly, the young teen could not muster up the courage and settled for staring out the window, cursing his cowardice. It was then, with that single action that changed everything forever. For at that moment he looked out and saw a billboard that had a picture of New York's newest heroine Talon and under her was a single quote.
["If you don't try, how can you ever know what you can do or become?"]
Reading that simple statement during his moment of self-loathing hit Andy harder than he ever thought anything could. Clenching his fist tightly and releasing a deep breath, Andy turned around to Chrissy.
"H-hey C-Chrissy…so y-you're a Talon fan?" Andy managed to get out nervously making the teen turn to him with a smile.
"Absolutely! It's just that it's like her very existence if a constant reminder that no matter that no matter who you are, you can change yourself for the better. I have to be her biggest fan, and I don't think I have ever missed any of her fights or when she has appeared on television and-oh I'm sorry I'm completely spazzing our right now sorry." Chrissy said sheepishly with a slight blush as Andy stared at her with wide eyes as if he couldn't believe what had happened.
"I just got more from her than I have in the past two years!" Andy thought incredulously. "Oh no, please continue to spaz!" Andy said quickly making her look at him wide-eyes. Scratching the back of his head, Andy released a nervous chuckle. "Sorry, it's just that I know completely where you are coming from. I'm a total fanatic of the hero community."
"Oh?" Chrissy questioned before shaking her head. "Sorry I don't even know your name, I'm Chrissy Chen."
"I know-err- I mean, Andy Maguire, nice to meet you." Andy said as he shook her hand.
"So Andy, you're a fan of heroes too? Who's your favorite since you already know mine?" Chrissy questioned making Andy hum in thought for a second.
"Honestly? I'll have to go with Spidey. I mean he's been helping us for so long only to be hated for it-until recently- and that never detoured him once. I mean, who can honestly say that they can do that?" Andy questioned as he raised an eyebrow making Chrissy nod.
"I totally know what you mean, and that entire thing with his marriage was just terrible." Chrissy said sadly. "So both of our favorites are on the same team, you think they can beat Team Immortal? I mean they are facing Wolverine."
"After the last fight?" Andy questioned with a smirk. "Wolvie doesn't stand a chance against Talon, and that's if Spidey doesn't get to him first."
"If he had sex recently, Spidey could probably solo the entire team." Chrissy giggled. "Sex is his yellow sun; I bet that's why he's your favorite, you being a hormonal teen and all."
"W-what?" Andy sputtered in disbelief as his cheeks colored slightly.
"I'm just kidding!" Chrissy laughed and the two continued to talk animatedly throughout the entire tire ride to the labs.
~Horizon Labs: 45 Minutes later~
"Welcome to Horizon labs. I'm Peter Parker, one-time midtown high School student like you." Peter said enthusiastically as he stood in front of the students." I wanted you to see this today-to know that from where you are right now-literally everything in the universe is possible! This is my greatest discovery Reed Richard's found unstable molecules, Hank Pym, the Pym particle. Tony Stark, his arc reactor tech…but this is all mine, you are about to see Parker particles. A hyper-kinetic form of energy tied into the forces of universal expansion itself. Clean affordable, near limitless power."
"Well…that's sure to end a few wars." Chrissy muttered as she stared at the large machine with wide-eyes making Andy nod dumbly.
"Before I fire it up, because we are talking about power I have made arrangements to present to you a lecture on Power." Peter said with a smile making the students groan in annoyance. "Now none of that. I am not talking about power as in electrical or anything but the power each one of you holds as an individual." Peter stated confusing the hell out of them. "How about I leave the talking to our guest speaker today as I set up my machine." After a few minutes of silence, Chrissy finally spoke up.
"Um, Mr. Parker, what speaker?" Chrissy asked in confusion making some of the other students nod.
"The one behind you." A voice spoke up scaring the hell out of the teen.
"EEK!" Chrissy yelped and turned to see none other than Talon standing behind her with a smirk.
"It's a slow day for crime, so I decided to do Mr. Parker a favor in order to pay him back for the operation he gave me." The feral said simply as she tightened her fist. "Before I begin, how many of you heard the speech given by Squirrel Girl during the Latverian siege when Dr. Doom was dethroned?" When none of the students raised their hands, Talon nodded and crossed her arms. "Okay then listen up because I'm only saying it once."
-Insert the Greatest Speech ever- Charlie Chaplin-
-Minutes later-
The students stared at the feral with wide eyes when she finished the speech before breaking out into a loud applause.
"She may not be my number one hero, but she is definitely number two." Andy said in disbelief making Chrissy nod her head dumbly.
"Okay, Mr. Parker should be getting ready so I guess you should just mingle for a bit." Talon shrugged before frowning as her phone vibrated. "What's wrong Joan?" Talon questioned as she walked from the students.
["Darling, I finally figured out what your team is missing!"]
"What are you talking about?" Talon asked in confusion.
["Your team was already famous before you signed up with me; you just weren't getting any money then. Point is your team had a family thing going on that the public loved. Two adult heroes caring for their younger team mate. The public absolutely adored that…but since your growth spurt, you lost that image."]
"So what do you expect me to do about it? I don't exactly plan on shrinking." Talon said dryly.
["And I don't want you to dear! You might have lost the family image, but because you have become your own hero you all are just as favored by the public if not more than you were before."]
"So what's the problem?"
["What I'm getting at is if your team can take in another teen hero, your profits could potentially double!"] Joan revealed making Talon's eyes widen slightly.
"I'm not about to try to find another hero just for money. If a new person ever joins our little group there will be a legitimate reason behind it."
["Okay, but if you ever find another hero make sure to call me!"]
As Joan and Talon continued their conversation in front of Peter's machine, Peter himself was just about to fire it off.
"Not to toot my own horn, but if we can harness this energy we could change the world." Peter told the students as he pressed a button. Nearly instantly, the words "Safeties engaged" appeared on all the screens.
-Spider-Sense: Run you fool!-
"That's not good!" Peter shouted as his machine began sparking with green electricity.
*ZRAKKKKK*
"Come on shut down!" Peter shouted as he tried to turn off the machine only to bite back a curse when he relied that there was too much of a residual charge. "Take cover now!" Peter shouted as the students ran.
Chrissy and Andy dove behind a counter as they watched the machine destroy itself.
"Peter! What the hell is going on!?" The heard Talon shout as the energy blasted around her. The teens widened their eyes when they noticed a bright green light behind the feral. Andy suddenly found himself on his back as Chrissy pushed him off of her.
*BOOOOM*
Talon frowned when she saw a wave of green energy about to collide into her.
"Damn, this is about to hurt…" Talon frowned, before widening her eyes as Chrissy stood in front of her blocking the wave of energy in front of her. "No!"
*CRACK*
"*GAHH!*" Chrissy shouted as she was blown to her back. That seemed to have been the last blast as the machine began powering down. Talon wasted no time and kneeled next to Chrissy.
"Come on speak to me." Talon muttered as she checked for a pulse.
"Oh…what hit me…?" Chrissy muttered as she opened her eyes making the feral sigh in relief before glaring at the teen.
"What the hell did you think you were doing!? That blast wouldn't have killed me." Talon growled out as she tried to help the teen out.
"My body…just moved on its own-Look out!" Chrissy shouted as the machine began to fall towards them. Talon watched in morbid fascination as Chrissy's eyes shined bright green before the teen actually knocked her back and blasted a large wave of green energy from her left hand obliterating the machine instantly. Peter said nothing as he walked towards them in pure disbelief.
"I-impossible…its déjà vu…it's-"
"Unbelievable." Chrissy whispered as she stared at her hands while a faint green aura flowed around her.
"Chrissy…what?" Andy questioned as he walked up slowly making Chrissy turn to him with wide eyes. The speed at which she ran to him and hugged him should not have been possible.
"You're safe. I'm sorry I left you there, I-"Chrissy couldn't finish as she wept into his neck.
"She just became a super hero…and her first concern was about my safety?" Andy shook his head and hugged her back, only nowhere near as tight as the grip she had on him. "It's alright." Andy said awkwardly before looking at Peter and Talon as if to ask: What the hell happens now? Talon said nothing as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
["Hello?"]
"Joan I'm just going to be blunt with you, are you a mutant or Psychic in any way?"
["Uh…no? Why dear?"]
"Because, do I have a story to tell you…" Talon trailed off as she watched the hugging teens. The feral and her former mentor honestly couldn't understand how quickly the seemingly peaceful day had escalated. Little did they know…
The trouble was far from over.
(LIAG Fun Fact: Andy was originally supposed to be Alpha...and it later would have gone to his head and made him a total ass.)
-Later that Day: Team Amazing's NEW apartment.-
"Horizon, or specifically me, is getting sued." Peter groaned as he face palmed. "I do illegal crap every day as Spider-Man…and the first time I get sued is outside of the costume." Talon shook her head as she gazed at her team mates.
"What makes it so bad is that the girl doesn't even want to sue you, it's her parents if anything." Talon sighed. "It is understandable that they would be a little upset that their daughter nearly got disintegrated, so I cannot really blame them."
"Well look on the Brightside, we do have a pretty good lawyer." Chun-Li tried to offer making Peter shake his head.
"We can't use Joan. If we do then she'll no doubt find out I'm Spider-Man. We need to find someone both willing to help me out on short notice and crazy enough to take the case even though I am clearly at fault." Peter muttered.
"When is the court date?" Chun-Li questioned with a frown.
"Tomorrow." Peter answered making her head snap up in shock.
"What the-already!?" Chun-Li questioned with wide-eyes. "Wow…you are so screwed." Chun-Li muttered making Peter bury his face in his hands.
"I know-"
-Insert Ringtone: Spectacular Spider-Man intro-
"S-seriously?" Chun-Li muttered making Peter laugh nervously as his ringtone played.
"Don't judge, it's pretty catchy! Bet you wish you had your own ringtone." Peter defended as he answered the phone while Talon frowned slightly to herself.
["Yo Spidey! I heard you are in need of a good lawyer. I know a perfect one that will do the case for free! They got me out of so many jams it's incredible!"] Deadpool said from the other side of the phone.
"How the hell-"
["Don't think about it too hard you'll get a headache."] Deadpool interrupted making Peter rub the bridge of his nose.
"You know what? I don't even care anymore, sure why not?" Peter sighed as Deadpool began laughing on the other side of the phone.
["Oh this is going to be perfect! Alright, he'll meet you at the courthouse tomorrow."] And with that Deadpool hung up. Peter shook his head at this merc's antics before noticing Talon's expression.
"What?"
"That's your new ringtone?" Talon questioned making Peter raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"Uh…yeah, why?" Talon stared at him with half-lidded eyes before pulling out her own phone and dialing his number. The feral held her phone up towards him to show that she had dialed his number.
-Insert Ringtone: Catherine Love is over (Game over)-
! Spider-Sense: Oh crap!
"Oh crap…" Peter thought nervously as Talon just stared at him with a quirked eyebrow while Chun-Li frowned in thought.
"Actually now that I think about it that ringtone plays when I call as well doesn't it?" Chun-Li questioned skeptically. "Or when any female calls you, mind explaining why you didn't change your ringtone for us?"
"Well you see-Logan?" Peter questioned in confusion making Talon and Chun-Li turn around to see…
…nobody.
"He'll be gone when we turn around won't he?" Chun-Li asked without even looking back causing the feral to sigh.
"He's already down the hall." Talon said dryly.
-Courthouse: The next day-
"Where's your lawyer, Peter?" Max questioned as he turned to his fellow scientist. "The Chen's have hired the new up and coming lawyer that has been winning case after case; do you really think we can win this?"
"I have no idea Max." Peter sighed as he turned to look at an apologetic Chrissy as her parents continued talking to their lawyer.
"So do you really think we can win this Mr. Edgeworth?" Mr. Chen questioned making the man laugh to himself.
"Worry not. Justice will be served today, after all you have hired me and I cannot be bested in court. Especially not here." The man said confidently as he turned to the judge.
"What makes it so bad is that if the judge new who I was, I could probably get out of this." Peter thought dryly as he looked at none other than Judge Jennifer, also known as She-hulk.
"Mr. Parker, where is your attorney? I would like to get this underway." The Judge said with a small frown making Peter sigh and mentally curse Deadpool.
"I'm Sorry-
BGM: UMvC- Them of Phoenix Wright.
"Sorry I'm late; the traffic in this city is unbelievable." A voice said making Edgeworth's eyes widen.
"Impossible!" Edgeworth thought incredulously as he turned to see none other than Phoenix Wright walk towards Peter as that infernal assistant of his, Maya followed closely behind.
"It's good to see you again Edgeworth." Phoenix said with a small smile as the man gritted his teeth.
"Wright…" Edgeworth all but growled.
"Do not worry Mr. Parker, justice will be served today." Phoenix said confidently while Peter gaped at the fact that he was going to be defended by the greatest lawyer ever. (LIAG Fun Fact: Remember even in the very little free time Peter has, he still manages to play some games. In fact in canon he has a level 27 Rogue on World of Warcraft.)
-An Hour Later-
BGM: END
"As we look back at the accident we can see that Horizon is completely at fault! Ms. Chen is a victim of a major industrial accident!" Edgeworth finished before crossing his arms.
"How do you respond?" Jennifer questioned as she turned to her team mate. She hated to do it, but she could not show any favoritism towards Phoenix and had to treat him as a regular Lawyer. Maya opened up a suitcase and handed a slip of paper to Phoenix. The blue-suited lawyer frowned as he read it over.
"So you say that your client read the permission slip with her family and was expecting to go on a simple field trip?" Phoenix asked Edgeworth carefully, making the man nod. "Hmm…"
"As you can see your honor, Horizon is guilty the children were expected to be safe from all dangerous equipment-"
*SLAM*
"OBJECTION!"
BGM: Phoenix Wright: Cornered
"What!?" Edgeworth shouted in disbelief as Phoenix smirked and handed Jennifer the paper.
"Your honor, what I have given you is a copy of the permission slip, please note that the slip explicitly states that the students must stick together and refrain from any reckless behavior in order to prevent them from being injured from any possibly hostile equipment. Nowhere does it state that the inventions were safe."
"Hmm, this is true…" The green skinned woman said as she looked over the paper.
"And now I would like to bring a new witness to the stands…Talon!" The layer shouted as the mutant hero walking into the room causing the courthouse to whisper to each other animatedly.
"OBJECTION!" Edgeworth shouted. "What help could she possibly-"
"She was there as you so passionately pointed out when reviewing the security tapes!" Phoenix interrupted making the man sweat heavily.
"I'll allow it." Jennifer stated as Talon took a seat.
"Now Ms. Talon, you are a hero is this correct?" Phoenix asked making the feral nod. "So it's safe to say you are somewhat of an expert on reckless behavior are you not?"
"Yes, I guess you could say that." The feral said with a small frown. "Being a hero is very reckless, but someone has to do it. Hell Spider-Man spends his days jumping off buildings and swinging off skyscrapers at two-hundred miles per hour."
"Now Ms. Talon if you could please explain just what all your powers consist of?" Phoenix asked making the feral hum in thought for a bit.
"Well…I'm immortal." Talon said bluntly. "Unbreakable vibranium skeleton, Adamantium claws, a retractable foot claw that can cut through anything, Pheromone control, heightened senses, slight control over canines; my nails can extend into claws, a super healing factor, and finally a petrifying roar." Talon finished as some of the people gaped at her.
"So, you're a close range combatant?" Phoenix asked making Talon nod again.
"Yes I am."
"What would you say was your worst injury ever?" Phoenix questioned making Edgeworth slam his hand down.
"Objection! This has nothing to do with anything."
"Objection overruled." Jennifer stated simply. "You better be going somewhere with this Mr. Wright."
"Oh I am. Now will you please answer the question?"
"Well before my powers got to be as strong as they are now, I was cut in half." The feral said nonchalantly while everyone, including She-hulk, winced slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, BEFORE her powers got to where they are now she was cut in half, yet here she is still standing. Her immortality is well known by everyone and by being her self-proclaimed number one fan; Ms. Chen should have known this." Phoenix said simply. "Yet despite knowing this, what Ms. Chen didn't know was how powerful the energy beam was after all it was stated to have ties with the force of universal expansion itself."
"Objection! This still isn't proving how Horizon is innocent!"
"Horizon is more than innocent; in fact if anyone is guilty today it is Ms. Chen for breaking her contract!" Phoenix said loudly.
"Objection overruled." Jennifer said simply.
"Now, was there any possibility that the blast that contained the power of the universe itself could have possibly killed you?" Phoenix asked carefully.
"I have yet had the chance to attempt to survive complete disintegration so the possibility is there." Talon frowned to herself.
"So, Ms. Chen could have potentially saved your life?" Phoenix asked again.
"That is correct."
"So what exactly does that make Ms. Chen?" Phoenix smirked as Talon finally caught on and smirked herself.
"My hero." Talon said as she glanced at the wide-eyes hero.
BGM: END
BGM: BGM: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney OST: 06 - Phoenix Wright ~ Objection! 2001
"And isn't that reckless behavior?" Phoenix asked simply. "Not only did Ms. Chen engage in reckless behavior by attempting to save her hero; she had to break off from the group to do it and when she did she was hit by a device that was never stated to be safe. She broke the contract, what happened to her was nobody 's fault but her own."
"Objection! I was hoping to come up with a question by objecting your honor." Edgeworth said seriously. "…I didn't"
"No one can change the past." Phoenix began passionately, but for some reason he seemed to only be talking to Talon. "The only thing we can do is strive to make up for our mistakes. Because in doing so...we can find our way back to our path. And after that, we can move on from our past mistakes towards a brighter future. Your honor, I rest my case."
BGM: END
-An hour later-
"Has the jury reached a verdict?" Jennifer questioned as a man stood up.
"We have your honor, Peter Parker and Horizon labs are not guilty." The man stated causing the scientists and Chrissy to sigh in relief. Jennifer nodded and slammed her gavel down…
…only to decimate her desk in the process.
"Oops."
As Phoenix and Edgeworth held on to each other while looking at the green-skinned judge in complete horror, Talon walked up to Chrissy and her family.
"Chrissy, I meant what I said when you jumped in front of the blast you became a hero." Talon said seriously. "And now you are a confused young woman with powers she cannot comprehend trying to find her place in the world." Talon said as she held out a hand to the teen as her parents looked at the feral hesitantly. "The scent of power coming from you is overwhelming; even now you are much stronger than me. Let me teach you how to channel that power and make you become a true hero, and legend. You will be at the top of the pack, an Alpha." Chrissy gaped at her for a bit before eagerly accepting the hand.
"Thank you!" Chrissy shouted as she suddenly hugged the feral, making her wince in agony.
"I-I'll make sure that she is able to grow into her new found strength. I will protect her." Talon promised as she tried to pry the teen off of her.
"We…just want what's best." Mrs. Chen said sadly making the feral nod.
"And that's what will happen; I've started to stop believing in chance. I'm not going to lie, the blast should have killed her, but here she is better than ever. She is supposed to be a hero." Talon said seriously.
"Just take care of her." Mr. Chen said seriously.
"I will." Talon nodded when she finally got the teen off of her. "Every day after school I will take her with me when I'm on patrol in order to train her. Hopefully she's a fast learner. I'm going to have the Avengers run a physical on her tomorrow and I want you to come. If she wants to be a hero then it'll be good to know the people that have your daughter's back. Either way I will still train her, her powers need to be controlled." Talon said seriously making the parents nod. After all they do want to be able to hug their daughter again one day without the threat of being crushed. "I'll see you all tomorrow."
"Seriously…thank you." Chrissy told Talon making the hero shrug.
"Someone went out of their way to help me, the least I can do is pay it forward." The feral said as if it were obvious.
"Where will we meet up?" Mr. Chen asked in confusion.
"Meet me at Avengers Tower tomorrow; we should have everything set up then." Talon said calmly as they nodded their heads and walked away.
-Later that night-
"So let me get this straight, you are about to actually train someone like Peter trained you?" Chun-Li asked as she sat on a large white sofa with her team mates.
"Isn't it kind of soon Laura? You just got started as an official hero." Peter asked skeptically making the feral sigh.
"I know but you once said something that even though I do not agree with it, it had some merit." Laura began seriously. "You trained me because you doubted that you would ever see forty. The life expectancy of heroes is terribly short this means that in order to keep the super-hero community thriving the newer generation of heroes will come faster than expected."
"Oh?" Peter asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"There's the age of heroism that you are in with the other Avengers, and then there is mine with myself and those of Avenger's academy. Chrissy is potentially the first of the age after mine. She has to succeed if we really want the hero community to stay strong. I will make sure that she succeeds, now excuse me it's time for my patrol." The feral stated simply as she left the room. A few moments passed before Chun-Li finally released a long breath.
"Peter, she's trying not to show it, but there's a deeper reason for her to want to do this; any ideas?"
"I went over it countless times." Peter muttered as he handed Chun-Li a folder. The fighter frowned as she skimmed through it for a bit before eyes widened in horror.
"How is this possible? That girl should be dead." Chun-Li gasped out.
"The energy being released could have either fused with whoever it hit or disintegrated them completely; those are the only two outcomes." Peter began seriously. "However, the chances of a successful fusion are so low that calling it a fluke is asking too much. To put it simply it was an act of God that the girl lived, not even Laura could have survived it."
"And she knows this." Chun-Li whispered. "Oh God, Laura could have died right there today. She owes her life to that young girl."
"And if Laura is anything like Logan, she will make sure that the debt is repaid. Logan may be ruthless, but he is loyal, easily one of my most trusted allies."
-The Next Evening: Avengers Tower-
Mr. and Mrs. Chen sat nervously in a conference room with Talon as they awaited Chrissy's return from the training room.
"Do not worry, your daughter is safe." Talon said awkwardly in an attempt to calm them down.
"I know it's just- a mother cannot help but worry, you know?" Ms. Chen asked helplessly as Talon frowned slightly.
"Honestly I don't…" Talon muttered making the woman's eyes widen as she realized who she was talking to, but before she could apologize Mr. Fantastic, Spider-Man, and Tony walked in with a grinning Chrissy behind them.
"Chrissy! Are you okay!?" Mrs. Chen asked nearly instantly making Tony smile slightly.
"Do not worry; we just had her perform a few exercises to see what we are dealing with." Tony assured the woman as Chrissy held up a small black book.
"And look! I managed to get their autographs!" Chrissy grinned making her parents shake their heads, they truly had no idea where she got her interest for super heroes from.
"We went over the notes that Mr. Parker had given me about his research on his Parker Particles. Turns out that he wasn't the first one to discover them after all." Spider-Man said as he laid a folder down, Talon had to suppress a snort as she heard how put off her team mate sounded.
"They were really something that I had discovered a few years back, but left alone because I felt some things should not be bothered." Reed said as he looked at the parents. "Inside of your daughter is currently energy not unlike the very energy that keeps our universe growing infinitely. There is no limit whatsoever on her power."
"She exhibits super speed, flight, super strength, the ability to create force fields and she is able to shoot energy blasts from her hands" Tony revealed to the wide-eyed parents. "However due to Reed's analysis of the energy we had her re do the tests approximately one hour later and what we noticed is well unbelievable."
"What do you mean?" Chrissy questioned in confusion, she was confused as to why she had to do them more than once.
"Well for example…" Spider-Man began. "When we first started you could lift one-hundred tons and run one hundred miles per hour, however, when you re-did them the numbers had changed dramatically." Spider-Man said seriously to the wide-eyed family. "The universe grows at a constant pace and every hour your power increases by a set amount, what I'm trying to tell you Chrissy is…" Spider-Man trailed off not really knowing how to put it. "Your strength will increase by multiples of one hundred every day for the rest of your life. Without limit."
*Thump*
"Mom!" Chrissy shouted as her mother fainted. Her father didn't seem to be faring as well either as he began swaying slightly.
"Ms. Chen." Reed began. "When we have threats such as the Phoenix or a hulk we call them Omega level…you are the first Alpha level threat ever."
"But-"Chrissy began but stopped when he raised a hand a looked at her apologetically.
"Threat was the wrong word, we know you mean no harm but it is inevitable if you don't receive strict training. Eventually what you will assume is a playful punch could be quite deadly to your peers, they already are infact. We will assign someone to train you until you know how to maintain a normal life by yourself." Reed finished making the young teen close her mouth.
"I understand. So who will you assign to me? Talon said she would but-"
"-And I will." Talon said coldly as she gazed at the other heroes as if daring them to try to stop her.
"Laura I know you mean well, but are you sure that you can handle being a teacher?" Tony questioned carefully, but before Talon could respond Spidey intervened.
"Of course she can, I taught her everything I know! Besides she's not alone Chun-Li and I will be more than willing to assist her if she needs it." Spider-Man told the armored Avenger. Seeing that he was losing Tony shrugged and nodded.
"Alright Laura, she's your responsibility now." Tony said simply before walking out of the room with Reed.
"So…" Chrissy began awkwardly. "Does this mean I get to be an Avenger?" The young teen asked hopefully making Talon shake her head in wonder.
"First we help you control your strength; the other stuff can come later." Talon said seriously before quirking an eyebrow. "Besides do you even have a name figured out?" Chrissy's silence was all that she needed to hear. "Might be good to have one of those before you try to join a team of super heroes. I'll do what Spider-Man did for me; when I feel you're ready I'll give you one. How does that sound?"
"Great!" Chrissy cheered as she fist pumped…
*BOOOOOM*
...only for a ray of green light to shoot out and decimate the ceiling.
"Uhh…sorry. I don't have to pay for that do I… I mean Iron-Man is rich and all." Chrissy asked fearfully as the dust settled.
*SMACK*
"This is going to take a while…" Talon thought after she face-palmed."...damn that hurt I have to stop doing that."
Day 1
-Midtown High-
"So you're finally going to start training with Talon today?" Andy questioned making his new friend nod happily. "I feel safer already." The blonde said good naturedly making Chrissy pout.
"Quit being mean Andy!" Chrissy laughed as she gave him a light shove…
…which sent him spiraling towards a locker.
*BAM*
"I-I'm okay!" Andy gasped out as he struggled to stand up as Chrissy covered her mouth in shock.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" The super-powered teen said frantically as the blonde waved her off.
"Don't worry about it; it'll go away in a few days." Andy managed to get out as the students stared at her in shock.
"Well I guess it's good that we start today." A voice said and the students turned to see Talon staring at the two teens with a raised eyebrow. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Andy managed to get out as he stared at her with wide eyes.
"Time to start Chrissy, come with me." Talon said bluntly as she turned around and began walking away. After getting over her shock, Chrissy apologized once more before running after the hero.
-Later: Team Amazing's Apartment: Roof-
"Okay the first thing you need to learn is how to control your strength, I mean you wouldn't be a very good hero if every punch you sent at a purse-snatcher could make them explode." Talon said dryly as she raised her hand towards Chrissy. "We'll start with this; try to grab my hand without bone shattering force."
"Like…this?" Chrissy asked hesitantly as she held the feral's hand making Talon wince a bit.
"No…the force you are using could cripple somebody for life." Talon deadpanned making the younger girl look at her in horror. "Try to lighten the grip."
"H-how about now?" Chrissy asked making Talon shake her head.
"Still much too tight."
"But I'm sure I lightened it!"
"Your powers are constantly growing." Talon reminded her. "Even as we talk u are getting levels stronger, keep that in mind when we do this exercise. Try again." Chrissy nodded her head and tried to loosen her grip. Talon sighed in dismay when she noticed that her hand began to bleed, much to the younger girl's horror. "This is going to take a while…"
-Hours Later: Chrissy's room-
["So how did it go?"] Andy's voice came from her phone, which was on speaker due to the fact she didn't trust herself to hold it.
"Terrible, absolutely no progress whatsoever and when I wake up tomorrow I'll be even stronger." Chrissy said sadly. "This is ridiculous I can't even do any homework because I keep shattering my pencils."
["That's messed up, but don't worry you'll get it eventually."]
"I hope so; speaking of homework did we have any today?" Chrissy asked as she began to think about how much her grades were about to suffer.
["Just in Psychology-wait! That's it!"] Andy said suddenly making Chrissy look at her phone in confusion.
"What?"
["The answer to your control problem!"] Andy said energetically making her eyes widen. ['I'm texting you my address meet me outside!"]
-Minutes Later-
Andy had barely managed to step outside before Chrissy landed in front of his house, leaving cracks on the side-walk.
"Well…that was quick." Andy muttered making Chrissy scratch her head sheepishly.
"Sorry, I came as fast as I could."
"I can see that…" Andy trailed off before shaking his head. "Anyway, give me your hand!" Chrissy frowned as she did so.
"How is this supposed to control my strength?" Chrissy asked skeptically making him smirk.
"You'll see, now I want you to attempt to give me a handshake." Andy told her making her stare at him incredulously.
"No! You'll never be able to use your hand again!" Chrissy shouted horrified making Andy wave her concerns off.
"Trust me!" Andy told her firmly. "I believe in you, now you need to do the same. You won't hurt me; now try!" Seeing his determination, Chrissy closed her eyes as she slowly gripped his hand. After a few moments she opened her eyes to see Andy smiling at her.
"What?" Chrissy asked in confusion as she stared at their hands.
"Well I figured that being such a big Talon fan that you knew that you couldn't cause any permanent damage to her, this meant that deep down you knew no matter how hard you gripped her hand nothing bad could happen…however…"
"…It's different with you." Chrissy finished breathlessly. "I could have actually hurt you so I tried my hardest not to."
"Now you got it! I told you I believed in you-"Andy was cut off as he found himself enveloped in a non-literal bone crushing hug.
"Thank you so much!" Chrissy said as she held on to her new friend making pat her on the back.
"Chrissy…you're hugging me…" Andy told her making her release him instantly.
"Sorry-"
"-No, don't you get it?" Andy said with a smile. "You hugged me and I'm alive."
"Your right!" Chrissy realized with a bright smile. "Andy you are too many kinds of awesome, if anything you should have been the one to get these powers." Chrissy said seriously making Andy snort.
"Nah, knowing me it probably would have gone to my head or something." Andy chuckled before glancing to the side awkwardly. "You know, this is a big change and a lot of people are going to be looking at you differently…if you want someone to just have a regular conversation with-"
"-You'll be the first one I'll call." Chrissy interrupted him with a small smile before hovering off of the ground. "I have to get back home; I have some homework to finally finish." Chrissy told him making him nod before blasting off towards her home, leaving behind a smiling Andy.
Chrissy's return trip took two minutes less than the original trip.
Day 2
-Team Amazing's Apartment: Roof-
"Okay, this will be much harder than yesterday because your strength has no doubt risen dramatically." Talon told Chrissy with a sigh as she raised her hand. "Let's hope for some progress" Chrissy said nothing as she grabbed the feral's hand, making Talon widen her eyes in disbelief. "What? How-?"
"Practice." Chrissy said simply before looking at Talon seriously. "I've recently noticed that I have some pretty incredible people in my life, in fact this morning I hugged my mother for the first time in weeks." Chrissy said softly.
"The accident only happed a couple days ago." Talon said with a small frown.
"Exactly, it wasn't until I was unable to hug her that I realized how much I missed it. This morning after I hugged her she actually cried. That is the last time I wish to be the cause of her tears." Chrissy said firmly. "Please help me make that wish a reality." Talon said nothing for a while but slowly a small smile appeared on her face.
"Well then…let's get started." Talon said before pointing to the sky. "As high as you can go, now." Chrissy nodded her head and shot to the skies at blinding speeds leaving a trail of bright green behind her.
-With Chrissy-
Chrissy frowned as she neared the end of stratosphere, the cold temperatures were nearly unbearable it didn't take long before ice began to form on her causing her to pause in mid-air, realizing that she reached her limit before blasting back to Team Amazing's roof.
*THUMP*
"Well?" Talon asked as the teen panted heavily.
"I made it to the edge of the stratosphere before the temperature became too much." Chrissy gasped out as she pulled off her glasses. "Damn these things fogged up-"Chrissy paused as she realized that she could see perfectly well without her glasses now. "Well… that's gonna save me some money." The teen muttered with wide eyes.
"Heightened senses?" Talon asked making the teen nod. "Figured as much. Here, I got you a present." Talon said as she tossed a bundle of clothes at the teen. Chrissy raised an eyebrow as she looked at them and nearly instantly her eyes widened in shock.
"Aren't these…?"
"My old uniform back when I went by X-23, they don't fit me anymore but they should be close enough for you. You're going to need something comfortable to fight crime in for now, we start practicing on criminals today." Talon said as her fan held up the top of her uniform with a small smile.
Day 3
"What do we do with regular crooks?" Talon growled out as she pounced on a man wearing a black ski-mask.
"They get regular punches right?" Chrissy questioned as she punched another thug in the face, sending him sprawling on his back.
"You're learning." Talon smirked viciously.
Day 4
"What about super-villains!?" Talon shouted as a man wearing blue and black armor charged Chrissy. The young hero in training quickly brought her hands together.
*KA-BOOOM*
"GAHH!" The man shouted as the thunder clap sent him flying back and into a wall.
"They get Super attacks?"
"Exactly…" Talon answered as she she crouched on all fours.
Day 6
Spider-Man and Talon were both currently rescuing people from a burning building when the feral suddenly shouted.
"Tell me what you've learned so far!?"
"Rule one saving lives always comes first!" Chrissy shouted as she pulled groups of civilians out of the building.
"Not bad but does she know rule two?" Spidey quipped as he sat some of the people down.
"See rule one!" Chrissy shouted towards him as she landed.
"Rule three?" Spidey asked again.
"With great power comes great responsibility." Chrissy said with practiced ease making Spider-Man cross his arms.
"Oh she's good, but what about rule four-"Spider-Man was cut off as the sound of a man screaming reached their ears. They turned to see a man falling out of one of the windows and screaming himself hoarse. Before Spidey could even move a bright green blur appeared under the man and Chrissy smiled as she caught him effortlessly.
"Everybody gets one."
"Talon, you are one hell of a teacher." Spider-Man said clearly impressed.
"What did you expect, you taught me." Talon said seriously as if it were obvious why she trained Chrissy well.
"Aww shucks! You're making me blush-Hey where did the fire go?" Spidey asked in confusion as he noticed that the flames had disappeared.
"I put it out while you two were having a moment." Chrissy said cheekily making the heroes sputter incredulously. Spider-Man was about to say something before he placed a finger to the side of his mask.
"The Fantastic Four need help, I gotta go." Spider-Man said suddenly as he ran off.
"Should we go too?" Chrissy asked Talon, making the feral shake her head.
"He didn't ask for assistance so it shouldn't be anything they can't handle. I've learned to read his body language and he seemed confident; come on we have to finish our patrol." Chrissy nodded her head and followed Talon.
Day 6
-Team Amazing's Apartment: Roof-
*THUMP*
Chun-Li, Spider-Man and Talon all stared at the smoking form of Chrissy in disbelief.
"Umm, can I have some clothes?" The teen said embarrassed as she attempted to cover her privates while the heroes continued to gape at her.
"Just how far did you go?" Talon asked as soon she found her voice Chrissy just shook her head.
"If I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Chrissy deadpanned. "I think I still have my gym uniform in my back pack, can one of you grab it for me?" Talon nodded her head and walked over to the girl's backpack. As she searched for the clothes she frowned when she noticed that the backpack was filled with maps of various countries and neighborhoods.
"Chrissy…what are all these? I know I told you to memorize New York, but where did the rest come from?" Talon questioned making the younger girl look down sheepishly.
"Well…it's just that I don't want to help New York." Chrissy began making their eyes widen slightly. "I want to help everyone." For a while nobody said anything until Talon turned to Spider-Man and nodded her head; the two seemed to have a silent conversation before Spider-Man ran off into the building. Moments passed before Chrissy finally said something. "Uhh…Clothes?"
"Don't worry! I got them!" Spider-Man shouted as he ran back and handed Talon a bundle of clothes before turning away from the females. "Have her change in to those." Spidey told Talon making the feral nod as she handed Chrissy the bundle. After putting them on, Chrissy widened her eyes in shock as she found herself wearing what looked like another one of Talon's X-23 outfits only it has a black and neon green theme to it. The "X" on the Belt buckle was replaced by a golden "A" and there was a bright green "A" on the left breast of her top.
"What…?" Chrissy questioned making Talon smile slightly.
"Honestly; the speed at which you adapted surprised even me. You have the maturity, you have the power, and most importantly you have the heart to be an excellent hero." Talon began as Chrissy turned to her with wide eyes. "The Avengers might disagree, but you definitely have become a hero this week. So to hell with what they may say you graduate. There is just no real reason for me to deny you the chance to help everyone."
"I was skeptical at first I'll admit it." Spider-Man began. "I also might be a bit biased considering I started off as a teen hero, but you're gonna go far kid."
"With powers as great as yours, you are definitely going to be at the top of the pack one day…" Talon began as she placed a hand on the stunned teen's shoulder. "Alpha."
"So…I'm finally done?" Alpha questioned making Talon nod. Team Amazing all frowned slightly when they noticed that the girl didn't seem as happy as they expected.
"Hey what's wrong kid? I thought this was your dream." Spider-Man questioned making Alpha turn to him with a sad smile.
"No it is! And I can never pay you all back; it's just well I'm going to miss hanging out with you guys that's all." Alpha said making Spider-Man chuckle.
"Kid, as soon as Talon began training you, you became a part of Team Amazing. I mean sure, you won't be able to help us in the tournament but that doesn't mean you can't hang out with us." Spider-Man revealed as his team mates smiled at the stunned girl. "Besides, out agent has been trying to get her hands on you for a while now maybe we can set up a meeting between you two."
"Besides it might be nice to have a new little sister to torture." Chun-Li smirked making Alpha turn to her in horror; she had borne witness to many of the fighter's and Talon's exchanges. She had been walking on pins and needles around the fighter in fear that Chun-Li would be able to get some dirt on her as well.
"You will do no such thing Chun-Li." Talon said coldly making Alpha sigh in relief. "You already torture Spider-Man and I; don't get greedy this one is mine." Talon smirked viciously and once again Alpha found herself feeling terribly frightened.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Alpha thought in fear as Talon seemed to tower over her menacingly.
To be continued…
Sorry no tier 6 just yet but is that really so bad? The closer we get to tier 10 the sooner the story ends lol. I'll make it up to you with this new teaser for a future mini-arc within the untouchable Spidey arc. Going over what I have of the arc so far it's safe to say that it could actually be a fic by itself.
Untouchable Spidey Tie-In: Alpha & Omega: The Beginning and the End
BGM: Ironing-Two Steps from Hell
The war to decide the fate of Peter Parker forces the pinnacle of the Super-hero community and the pinnacle of mutant kind to work together to stop a common enemy.
ALPHA!
Alpha glared up at her opponent who was holding her face tightly.
"All the power in the universe…yet you can't beat me." Her opponent said as cold green eyes glared at her. Alpha couldn't even mumble a retort before she was thrown back towards the earth at blinding speeds. The young heroine closed her eyes as she saw the ocean getting closer and closer.
*BOOOOM*
A large tidal wave erupted from her point of impact that raced towards the destroyed New York City.
PHOENIX!
Heroes and mutants alike watched the sky as a large flaming bird flew into the sky.
"You won't get away with this!" Jean roared as the phoenix emblem over her right brightened with an unimaginable intensity. Her green eyed opponent just yawned before catching her by her neck.
"Let's see how many times you can be reborn."
They have to work together…
"Don't' hold anything back!" Alpha shouted as both she and Phoenix charged their opponent inside a large flaming green bird that completely blocked the earth from the powerful being's view.
…If they want…
"GAHH!" Alpha shouted as she was slammed into the moon as Phoenix was kicked away. Back in New York Talon watched as a large crater appeared on the moon causing a bead of sweat to slide down her face.
"This isn't a fight…this is Armageddon." Talon whispered in horror.
…To survive.
Nobody said or did anything as Andy stood in the water with the downed Alpha in his arms as tears fell from his face.
"Why her…she just wanted to help… DAMN IT!"
