Chapter four is here guys and also I have been having fun playing Spider-Man PS4. It's cool to be able to swing around the city, going up high, and then coming down before swinging to the next building. The only downside…as a hero you have to go fight crime. So, I don't get a chance to have some more fun swinging around.
Oh well, that's the price I get for playing as Spider-Man. Not gonna lie too…it's a lot like Arkham. Like the way you are fighting and getting items is a lot like the Arkham games. Except instead of being Batman you are…Spider Cop! Who sadly had to retire so soon just as we got to know him.
Anyways, last time we found out the Avengers are being called upon to help Batman. Who will end up going to join Batman fight against Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight? Will they be enough to help fight against these bad guys? Or will the Arkham Knight be one step ahead of the Avengers?
Tune in today to find out. Also thanks to everyone for the awesome support. I appreciate it so much guys and also thanks to my friend AVP5 for the help as well. I appreciate all the support and love you guys. I also appreciate the help from my friend for doing this and also for those asking about his Predator/Star Wars story…be patient please.
Now then, let's get started with the disclaimer. I don't own anything from Marvel or DC. I also don't own a certain character from a universe far, far away. I only own my OCs, which are the kids of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now, enjoy the chapter!
Chapter IV
New York City, New York (Year: 2036)
Ben brought the Avengers together after receiving word of what is going on. He told the others how last year he went to another universe, which was similar to the one Jason and the others live. However, what was different about this universe he went to was this universe the Joker was still alive and their Superman isn't evil. Abigail named this universe the Arkham universe.
She named it after the prison city Ben landed in, while naming the universe Jason and the others went to the Injustice universe. Originally the main universe Kara came from, but that got changed later by Abby. Once Ben and the others helped defeat the Joker they gave Batman a communicator to use to contact them in case of trouble.
Since then Abby has decided to try investigating other universes to see if she can find one that can get Ezra home.
Now though, Batman's friend Oracle contacted Ben. Letting him know that Batman needs help and provided him all the information he needs to be aware of the situation. Once he got it he passed it on to Abigail. Letting her know what is going on and so she can explain this to the others.
"Okay, so here's the situation. Gotham is being held hostage by a criminal named Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow. He forced the citizens to flee the city by threatening them with a chemical attack, which he calls Fear Gas…" Abigail shows a hologram of the gas and what it can do. "The Fear Gas causes the victim to experience nightmarish hallucinations. Prolong exposure to it can also damage the victim's psyche and break their mind."
"Essentially he makes fears appear realistic to the victims," said Christopher who sees the chemical compound of how this was made. "I've never seen a gas this powerful before that could cause such powerful hallucination. Is there a cure for it?"
Abigail shows the new compound Scarecrow appears to be using. "Batman has made a cure for it, but doesn't know how much of the Fear Gas the Scarecrow has. It has to be a large amount though if he forced the city to be emptied."
"Why would he empty it though?" Luna asked as she sat near the others. "Why didn't he unleash it on the people and cause the people to go all loco on everyone?"
"We don't know, but we do know one thing…" Abigail shows the different images of the criminals Ben recognized. "Ever since the people evacuated Two-Face, the Penguin, Black Mask, Harley Quinn, and other enemies of Batman have used this chance to take over the city. There is police presence in the city, but they are outnumbered and can only do so much to stop them."
Abigail also shows an image of another criminal group. "We also have this guy. The Arkham Knight, a new guy who has to Gotham and joined up with Scarecrow. He brought with him a large army to help maintain control of the city. And they brought with them some expensive toys."
Ezra looks at the images and how bad things look right now. "So, essentially they need our help. What are we waiting for then? Let's go and help them."
"It's not so easy as that," said Abigail as she shuts off the holograms. "Maria Hill needs us for an assignment and we are spread thin as it is. I am sending three of us to go to assist her and join with Thane. While we send the rest to assist Batman. Ben already volunteered to go, which means I need some volunteers."
"Wait, you aren't going?" Lyra asked surprised that Abigail isn't going.
"Tempted, but I'm needed for the upcoming mission. I could use your assistance too Lyra, if you don't mind," Abigail explained.
Lyra sighed as she nods in response. "So, who else wants to join Ben?"
"I'll go," Kymera volunteered. "I've been to the city before and I wouldn't mind returning to help the Batman."
"I'll go too," said Ezra as he volunteered next. "I wouldn't mind visiting this other world and meeting the Batman."
Abigail nods in response as she turns to the others. "That's two down. Need two more to go. Who else?"
"I'll go," said Luna as she puts her hat on. "Should be fun and this will allow me to get loose."
"Hold on, not so fast," said James as he spoke up next. "You aren't going. Abby, no offense but we both know if Luna goes to a city full of dangerous psycho killers what are the chances she'll end up trying to kill one?"
"Hey! I have rider under control," said Luna as she argued with James. "At least, most of the time."
Abigail sighed as she rubs her head. "Just take her along. I think you'll need some muscle in order to help fight against these guys. If Luna does go crazy you can knock her ass out."
James sighed as he turns to Luna and then to Abigail. "Then I'll go too then. The five of us should be enough for this mission. Provided we get all the information needed for this."
Abigail nods in response. "Okay, but before you guys go I'll provide you some equipment needed. Something Kymera and I have been working on. Ezra, you first."
The others took off to get ready for their mission, while Ezra follows Kymera and Abigail. "So, what do you guys have for me? A new blaster, a new jetpack, or maybe a shield like the one James has?"
Abigail turns to Ezra as the door to the lab closes. "In reverse, no, no, and maybe…" she turns to Kymera who begins opening a case to show a mechanical arm.
"Abigail and I made some upgrades to this new arm we made. I think you'll like it," said Kymera as she goes over to her friend who began removing his shirt revealing some scars along his right arm.
"Hopefully it will be less as painful as the last one you two gave me," said Ezra as he began removing his right arm revealing it to be a prosthetic limb.
When Ezra arrived to this world he got injured. Losing his right arm and was given a new one thanks to Kymera. He didn't mind the new arm, especially how it felt like his old arm. Kymera made sure the new arm would feel like it was real and allows the user to move it like a normal arm.
"So, what new upgrades have you two mad scientists come up for me?" Ezra asked used to the inventions the two women have made for him.
"Other than the arm giving you a big of super strength?" Abigail shows the new arm's equipment. A miniature torch, recorder, electrical charge, tracker, able to hack through security doors, a computer panel, and a little something special. "A repulse blaster."
Kymera has the new arm get attached to Ezra before he can test out his new abilities. "I recommended keeping the repulse blast out since you won't need it, but Abigail wouldn't stop trying to add it in."
"I like it," said Ezra who didn't mind if it was added in or not. "I think it will come in handy in Gotham. What about adding in a shield?"
"You get it with the wrist gauntlet we got you," said Kymera as she hands Ezra the newly charged wrist gauntlet. "So, how does it feel?"
Ezra stands up and begins testing out his new arm. "Like I have my old arm. Thanks guys, I appreciate this."
"No need to thank us. Just make sure not to scratch it," said Abigail as she begins receiving a message. "Hey, Kymera. Dakari is trying to contact you."
Kymera nods as she turns to Ezra. "If you have any questions just ask Abigail and I'll be right back."
Kymera leaves the room and goes to her bedroom where she turns on the TV to show Dakari waiting for her. Dakari is the son of M'Baku and a good friend of Kymera. Ever since peace between T'Challa and M'Baku was made, Kymera has been trying to work with Dakari to bring his tribe back with the rest of Wakanda. Dakari may be older than Kymera, but vowed to help her become queen and she promises to help his people.
Dakari has short black hair, blue eyes, dark skin, and wearing his Jabari/Wakanda Vibranium armor chest, wrist gauntlet, boots, and helmet in shape of an ape.
Dakari bows his head to Kymera and crosses his arms together across his chest. "Princess Kymera, it is good to see you again."
Kymera sighed as she smiles a little. "Dakari, its fine. We're friends. You don't have to be so formal."
Dakari begins smiling and chuckled. "I know, but it doesn't mean I won't keep doing it once in a while. I also wanted to let you know that we rounded up the last of the mercenaries. Wakanda is now free of these dangerous criminals."
Kymera convinced her father years ago to help unite Africa together to end this endless fighting. So that its people will finally come together and work as one. It took time, but they were able to rally the people behind them and help bring the countries together. With Wakanda as its capitol.
"I am pleased to hear this. Unfortunately I won't be able to return home soon. I am going to be leaving soon for a mission," Kymera explained.
"I see..." Dakari was disappointed to hear this since he was hoping Kymera would be here for the ceremony. "Will you be gone long? I'm sure your father would want you back for the festivities."
Kymera knew if things are fine now then it will take them three days to get the festival ready. To celebrate the unification of Wakanda. "Hmm, the mission we are should not take us long. However, if things go bad…do you think your father would mind if I ask him for a favor?"
Meanwhile
Ben returned home where he went to pick up some things. He explained to his mom where he is going, which she did not like. She was glad he was able to help someone when they needed help, but she didn't want him to leave again, especially that world that was similar to the one his friend is living in. Ben though reassured his mom it would be okay and is going with his friends.
They won't be long and will return. His mom eventually accepted this, but she wasn't happy with it. Ben goes to his room where he got his utility belt, which thanks to Abby she made for him. It contains extra web cartridges, tracers, miniature camera, cryo cubes, and a flashlight on the belt buckle. He goes to his closet where he grabs his backpack for some chocolate bags.
"Getting a snack for Sym?" Ben turns around to see his mom standing by the door. She walks over to her son and sighed. "I'm not happy about you going off to another universe to fight someone else's fight. But, I know if I was in your position you would have gone as well. So, please be careful, okay? And please come back without getting hurt."
Ben nods in response as he closes his bag. "Mom, I'm sorry for making you worry so much. I know you don't want me to go. To be honest, a part of me doesn't want to go either and would rather be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. But…I need to do this because it's the right thing, but I'm glad to know if you were in my position you would go."
Gwen let's out a small laugh and shakes her head a little. "You are a lot like your father. In so many ways. You have such a big heart and you are willing to help other people even if you get scared. That's why…" she soon took out a bag from behind the bed and hands it to her son. "Abby send this to me a few minutes ago. The note says she didn't want to wait to give it to you so, once you finish show me what she made."
Ben nods in response as his mom begins to leave the room. Once she was gone Ben took out what was in the bag and smiles.
After a few minutes he came out wearing his new costume. It was his red and blue costume, but this one has a big white spider symbol on his chest and back. It was a lot like the Symbiote white symbol, except the color is the same red and blue color. There was also attached white parts to his web launchers on his wrists, his boots were also different with white markings along the ankles and on the sole of his shoes, and he didn't make any noises when he came out.
"How does it look?" Ben asked as he turns around to show his mom his uniform.
Gwen smiles as she approached her son. "I think if your dad was here he would think this looks cool."
Ben chuckled as he took his mask off and puts on his utility belt. "Thanks mom. I just hope I won't get this dirty like the last one Abby gave me."
"As long as you make it alive I don't think she'll care. And if she has a problem with this then she can deal with me," said Gwen who didn't care if the costume got ruined as long as her son makes it out alive.
Ben nods in response. "I know mom and thanks," he replied before noticing the time. "I need to get going," he leans over and gives his mom a hug. "I love you mom. I'll be back soon."
Gwen returned the hug and held her son close. She always held him for a long time fearing it would be the last time she ever held him. "I love you too and just be safe."
Ben nods and once a minute passed the two broke the hug. Gwen kisses his son on the cheek and Ben begins to leave. He goes to the window and faces his mom one more time before he leaps out. He fires his web and begins heading back to the others.
All while Gwen felt a small tear falling down her cheek. She wipes it away and turns to a picture of her husband. She sighed as she begins looking away and heads to her room. She knows he'll be okay.
Ben is a fighter like Peter. He'll come back and then she won't have to worry about him going back to that universe. Until the next time something happens. It was then she goes to her room and goes to her closet.
She stopped when she realized what she was going to do. "He'll be fine. He doesn't need me looking out for him anymore. He isn't a little kid anymore. And besides Spider-Wo…you're retired now."
She knew if her son needed her he would let her know. He wasn't afraid to ask his mom for help, but it has been a year since then. He's fine. Has proven it time and time again.
"For now just wait for him to get home and hope he'll be okay," said Gwen as she goes to grab her things and head out to work. Hoping this will keep her mind off of what is going on and pass the time till her son comes back.
Later
Abigail finished getting things ready for Christopher to help get the team to the Arkham universe. It took some time to combine Christopher's magic and Abby's technology to make this work. She combined his magic with her portal so that way they won't end up going to the wrong universe. Not that they would, but it never hurts to play it safe.
She turns to see the team is already ready. James wore his new armored Captain America uniform. She gave it some upgrades so it can protect him from any bullets, including armor piercing kind. She also made sure to include the two Wakandan Shields that Kymera brought with her to give to James. All while including his utility belt, grappling cable, but no gun due to Batman's rules.
Luna got her motorcycle upgraded since she didn't feel like getting any other some of upgrades for her clothing. All except body armor because she may be bullet proof in Ghost Rider form it doesn't mean her human form won't get hurt. Her motorcycle is able to go faster than it used to go, its tires can fix itself in case of being punctured, comes with its own shield, and GPS because Luna isn't good at directions. Other than that she didn't get anything else, except her guns, which she plans to bring anyways.
Kymera didn't need any upgrades on her Black Panther suit since her aunt already upgraded the hell out of it. However, it can automatically appear to protect her in case danger occurs without shredding her clothes. She also has her Kimoyo Beads to communicate with her friends, while also using EMP Beads to disable her opponent's vehicles, dagger, and a utility belt that contains medicine for her to use in case of injuries. Kymera always likes to be prepared in case someone gets hurt.
Last was Ezra as he finished testing out his new arm. He seems to be getting used to it, which didn't surprise Abigail. He has with him his communicator, utility belt, lightsaber, blaster, and his cloak, which was given to him by Kymera. The cloak was fire-proof and would provide camouflage to blend its surrounding area. Very useful when they don't want to be caught.
"So, is everyone ready?" Abigail asked as Christopher came into the room.
"All of them seem ready, except Ben. Where is he?" Christopher asked.
"Probably letting su mama know he is leaving," said Luna as she sat on her bike. "They are both real close you know."
"I know and I figured he would be over there to see her. That's why I am making sure everyone here is ready for the mission," said Abigail as she reminds the others the job. "Gotham isn't like the cities we've been to. The criminals are running the city, the police are outnumbered, but the good thing is there will be no civilians. So, you are free to do what is needed to take these guys down. As long as you don't kill."
"So, should I leave my blaster then?" Ezra asked as he gets a 'no' nod from Abigail. "So, I assume you want me to set it for stun?"
"Would be better…" Abigail then turns to Luna. "Remember, no killing, loca. We don't need the Rider going all nuts in the city."
"Relax, I got it all under control," said Luna who reassured her friends she's got this. "I also know the plan. Go in, take out Scarecrow, Arkham Knight, and the bad guys. Simple."
"Nothing is simple in Gotham," said Ben as he arrives to join the team. "I've been there long enough to know that city holds a lot of surprises and dangers. Don't lower your guard for a second and we'll make it out in one piece."
"As long as we all make it out, play this by the book, and don't get cocky," said James as he turns to Kymera. "And if we have to we'll go all out in order to subdue the bad guys."
Kymera nods in response. "To respect the wishes of the Batman, we'll do this. Now, let's go and help our friend."
Abigail nods before she begins activating the machine. All while Christopher uses his magic to keep it steady and make sure where they are going is the right place. The five Avengers get their things as they prepare to head to the Arkham Universe. All knowing the dangers that await them as the portal.
"All right, Avengers. Go out there and kick some ass," said Abigail as the team head through the portal and begin heading their way to help the Batman.
That's the end of the chapter and yep Ben is wearing the Advanced Suit from the PS4 game. I like the new suit, but I want to try wearing the others suits I pre-ordered like the Iron Spider Suit. Oh that one is so awesome.
Also, we got now my OCs: Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Ghost Rider going to the Arkham Universe. All while being joined by Ezra and his new arm. I am planning to do a prequel on what happened when he arrived, but that later down the road. For now, this is what we got.
What is going to happen when the team arrives to help Batman? Will they be enough to stop Scarecrow? Will they cause more problems than good? And will Gwen later assist her son to fight some bad guys?
Tune in next time to find out how things will go. If you guys like how this went then please leave a review. Just nothing negative guys. Hateful reviews are not welcome here.
Also, if you guys have any questions let me know and I will reply to them. Also, no story request guys. Okay? Not to be rude, but I got too much on my plate right now and can't do more stories.
BYE!
