Alright everyone with my computer getting repaired for the next two weeks this will be the last update until the release of chapter 6. You'll have to go a few days without anything but I thank you all for understanding. So here's the finale of this part of the story!
The future Peter Parker had found himself a nice little hideout. An abandoned warehouse on the docks near the George Washington bridge. The seclusion made an excellent place for him to relax and plan his next moves.
"I think I'll play around with my friends while I'm here, and I might as well say hello to Fury along the way. Who knows, I might take over the Tri-Carrier and make it mine!" Peter knew he was strong enough to beat any of his former teammates along with anything S.H.I.E.L.D. could throw at him. "If I'm gonna do it, I might as well do it in style."
Peter got to work making himself a costume. He'd decided to ditch the red and blue and take some inspiration from Venom. His new suit was black with white spider wrapping around his waist and over his shoulders. His mask retained his classic pointed eyes however. Peter made allowances for "his" claws and slipped his web shooters over them.
"I do love it when a plan comes together."
The team was growing restless. With Ava still recovering, the guys were left alone to do nothing, just like Fury had ordered them to.
"I hate this! I feel so useless right now!" Sam yelled, breaking the silence of the Parker home.
"We know Sam, we all feel the same way." Luke reassured him.
"It is not wise to act with so little information about our foe." Danny tried to bring Sam to his senses. "We were also given direct orders not to pursue."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't be mad about it." Sam responded, he was pissed that he couldn't do anything.
"I'm going out, don't try to stop me." Sam went upstairs and grabbed his helmet.
"We're coming too." Luke and Danny were already in costume waiting for Sam to come back down. "That guy ran into Ava, she wasn't trying to find him." Luke said.
"So that means that either it was dumb luck…" Sam added as he put his helmet on.
"Or he was searching for her." Iron Fist pondered. "Whoever this man is, he may be looking to single us out and pick us off one at a time."
"I've got an idea." Powerman started, "Nova, you go fly around by yourself. Iron Fist and I will stay back and out of sight. With any luck, he'll attack you."
"Remind me why getting attacked is a good thing?" Nova wondered, clueless as usual.
"If our mystery man shows himself, it'll be three-on-one." Iron Fist filled him in.
"Right, Tiger and webs fought him alone, together we can beat him!" Nova finally put two and two together to get four.
The three of them then headed out for the city.
Once they'd gone far enough into the urban jungle, the team began it's plan. Nova flew around, in and out of random streets and between buildings. He did this for a solid fifteen minutes, then he started to get bored.
"I'm already starting to hate this plan, I feel like bait." Nova said to himself.
"Just keep flying, we'll give him another half-hour. If nothing happens by then we'll call it a night." Powerman said over their comms.
"Whatever, I'll just keep flying in circles."
Five minutes passed and still nothing.
And then another five,
and another five,
and another five.
Thwip!
Nova felt his body come to a sudden halt, a web line was attached to his foot. A man dressed in a black suit with a spider on it had tether him to a rooftop.
"Guys! We got company!" Nova informed his team. "He's on the roof across from me!" Nova blasted the webs to free himself then flew at his assailant.
The future Peter jumped out of the way and clawed at Nova's back, ripping his suit.
"Come on buckethead is that all you've got?" Peter taunted him.
"Spider-man I swear if that's you!" Nova was angry now, he flew back at Peter just as Powerman and Iron Fist arrived on the scene.
"Nova we're here!" Powerman yelled.
Peter jumped up and web-zipped into Nova, kicking him into Powerman and sending them flying into a watertower.
"I'm not the Spider you know, I'm better than he is." Peter stood above them, enjoying the feeling of overpowering his enemies so easily.
Iron Fist jumped out of the water and lunged at Peter, his glowing hand headed straight for Peter's face.
"HYAAAAH!" Iron Fist let all of his might rush into this one attack. "No...how can you?"
Peter had stood still and caught his hand, Iron Fist's punch had been intercepted and caught with no reaction from the man who had done the impossible.
"Iron Fist, you shouldn't have done that." Peter looked at him and applied pressure to the blonde teen's wrist. Then he pushed.
Snap!
Iron Fist lay there on the ground, his hand broken and bloody. Powerman looked to his side and saw Nova, unconscious. He was all that was left.
"You monster...I'm gonna end this right now. You're not taking me down." Powerman was infuriated at what had happened to his friends. The rooftop beneath him cracked as Powerman dug himself in. Using all of his strength, Powerman pushed off and rushed Peter.
It happened in an instant. Powerman threw out his punch, slamming his knuckles into the black-suited man's stomach.
He had to feel that, just gotta keep going! Powerman kept burying his fist, and wound up for another.
"You put up a good fight Cage, but our little dance is over." Peter said, although it was strained and weak.
Peter used his claws to dig into Powerman's arm so he'd release his attack. Using his webs, Peter blinded the hero.
"Now for the finishing touch!" Peter took advantage of this oppurtunity and thrusted his knee into Powerman's chest, knocking the wind out of him.
"Hard to fight me when you're fighting to breathe." Then he punched Powerman in the face and threw him across the rooftop over to where the rest of his team was.
"Whew, that was fun guys. I hope I didn't scramble your brains too bad, I wanna play again with the lot of you some other time, laters." Peter jumped off the rooftop and headed back to his warehouse. "That was fun, although I underestimated Powerman, that actually hurt."
Back on the rooftop, Powerman stabilized his breathing. The others were still out cold.
"Powerman to S.H.I.E.L.D., we need immediate medical attention at my location. I repeat, immediate medical attention." Luke called for evac, before long they'd be seeing Ava and getting an earful from Fury. "Today did not go as planned."
Future Peter managed to take his old team out of commission single handedly. Spider-man was still lost in another world, trying to find a way to save his home, but will he make it back in time (see what I did there?) to use what learns?
