The raider was aiming towards another employee when his gun was yanked from his hand with a web. Peter swung forward and kicked the unarmed Hydra agent. Another one of the agents tried to shoot Peter. But Peter's spider-sense activates, and he weaves his way through the gunfire. Then, he slingshot himself forward with his webs, knocking out two more Hydra agents. He sees one of his employees with a bullet hole in their leg and goes to treat them. He applies a tourniquet made of webbing. All of a sudden, his spider senses activate, and he sees a hydra soldier aiming towards him.
"BAM '' a shield hits the soldier in the face. The shield bounced around and went back into the hand that cast it. Steve nodded at spiderman and went forward. One of the armored verticals tried aiming its top-mounted turret at the two. They were about to move when a comically small rocket hit the armored car. Then the armored car blew up in a controlled explosion. They turn and see Tony standing there in his armor.
"Where are the other ten ?" Tony asked.
Peter looked at him. "Being handled by security turrets in the field."
Cap looked at them. "Where are the other Ten?"
Peter pulled up the security video on his visor and scrolled the theme as fast as possible. He sent that same video feed to Tony so he could help look. Peter answered, "It seems that five of them got taken out by security, and the other five retreated into the city. The rest, well they seem to be strewn around. In Multiple Places."
Steve nodded. "Can you get a beat on the other armored vehicle ?"
Tony answered, "Well, considering that they probably want to get airborne as fast as possible and the Queens Midtown tunnel, as well as Williams Berg, is closed for construction. They're probably rushing down 5th Avenue.
Peter spoke up, "If we cut through the city, we can cut them off at the bridge ."
Cap agreed: "Tony, alert the police, tell them to set up a blockade at the end of the Manhattan bridge and to block off the Brooklyn bridge in case they try to weasel their way out, and Spider-Man, try to find the five that escaped into the city."
Peter got angry at those words. "Cap that kid is my responsibility. I can't just abandon him and find five goons ."
Cap stared at Peter." Spider-Man, no one knows these alleys better than you. If those agents are out there, lives could be at risk, and you have the best chance of finding them. I promise I'll get the kid back. Come on, Tony, give me a lift." Tony flew off into the air, caring for Cap.
Peter just said one thing: "I'll hold you to that cap ".Then, he webbed the nearest building and began his search.
Izuku was sitting in the back of an empty armored vehicle except for what seemed like a robotic mannequin. The cabin looked to be separate from the driver's cabin. Izuku tried to sneak close to the door. Maybe if he opened it he could roll out. The pain from hitting the asphalt would probably hurt less than what he experienced from Katsuki, especially if he used his backpack as a shield to cushion himself from the brunt of the fall. He was about to reach out for the door when a voice with a german accent spoke up.
"I suggest you don't do that, boy."
Izuku looked around surprised, maybe he imagined it and was reaching out for the door. When a metal fist went by his face, barely missing his face and smashing his hand. Izuku felt the pain surge through his body, stifling a yell as his bones were broken. He turned and saw the metallic-looking mannequin standing, cleaning the blood off of its fist.
"I suggest you sit, boy, and by the time this trip is over, I promise you'll have both your legs."
The mannequin that Izuku now realized was an android gestured to the seat in front of him.
"Who are you?"Deku struggled to say through the pain as he sat down. Sure, he had gotten it stepped on by Katsuki before, but it had never broken this bad.
The android faced him, and suddenly, a screen of light could be seen. Surprisingly, it wasn't the face that was smooth and featureless; instead, the screen shone from the abdomen. On The Screen, a face appeared.
"The name is Arnim Zola, a pleasure I'm sure."
Izuku had no idea who this man was—Android?AI—was, but he seemed self-important. The Face on the screen looked normal, and Izuku could make out a pair of thin-framed glasses.
"What do you want with me? I'm just a useless kid," Izuku said in a self-deprecating
Zola Looks At Izuku."You know I thought that about you too Until agent Akio Sent over your information ."
Izuku was concerned "The Intern is one of your agents?"
"Was one of our agents. She no longer had anything to offer." The android shifts its seat to get a better line of sight on Izuku."As I Was saying I was included to agree with your former statement, why would Hydra have to need a kid? But then I saw your medical charts ."With your mutation, we could have an army of enhanced soldiers. Our medical bay will advance by years, Not to mention our espionage, we could find someone with a transformation mutation and make it temporary. The biology of your body is amazing. Your life will be forfeit so Hydra can thrive. So if anyone was to truly call you useless after learning that, then they would be an idiot."
Izuku processed what he just heard. Had the man lied to him about him having a mutation? It's probably the English word for quirk, and he swore he remembered the doctor saying he didn't have one. It had been the cause of the split between him and his mother, after all. The android in front of him would have no real reason to lie. Maybe he had a quirk that could only manifest itself if he got a separate quirk somehow given to him. "It would be amazing if I could somehow get a quirk. But sadly, that's impossible." His quirk was just like him useless. Then he thought a second longer. Maybe these people have a way of extracting and gifting quirks. (I'm Glad there's no one like that back in Japan.)If it weren't for the insinuation that he was going to die, Izuku would be happy right now.
Cap and Tony were above the Manhattan Bridge, Flying towards their target, the armored truck, and were about to engage it when the energy turret on top of it shot at Tony. Inside the armored vehicle, Zola yelled, "Fire at the hangers." The turret powered up again, hitting the support hanger and causing it to snap. The bridge started to sag and creek as one of the main support hangers was torn. Tony dropped Cap.
"You go get the kid; I'll try to stop the bridge from collapsing or at least slow it down so everyone can evacuate ."
Tony flew towards the torn support hanger and grabbed it keeping the bridge up using his repulsors at full blast. Cap started weaving his way through the cars, helping people up and evacuating the bridge until he saw the armored vehicle. The energy weapon started to charge up again when Steve threw his shield, jamming it into the energy turret, causing it to fire and rebound the energy back at itself and disabling it. Steve approached the back of the armored vehicle and was about to open the back door when the door burst open and launched Steve back.
Seven minutes earlier. Izuku was listening to the commotion outside of the vehicle. Suddenly, he felt the tuck shift a bit, and he held tight onto his backpack. He looked at the android and noticed it wasn't moving as if it was expecting the vibrations. All of a sudden, Izuku heard an explosion overhead and felt lucky that it had not affected the cabin. Suddenly, the android stood up, walked close to the door, and swung his fist forward, forcefully bursting the door open. Even though he was in America, he still hoped it was All Might.
"Aw, Captain America. Be it the war or modern-day, you have to interfere with Hydra's Business as if it were in your D.N.A." Zola swung forward with his heavy fist.
Steve dodged and tried to hit back. The metal was solid and didn't even make noise when he struck it. "Zola, I thought you blew yourself up."
Zola made a noise that could be misconstrued as laughter. "Just for the namesake of my Organization, I have more than one head captain ." Attempts to slam down on Steve.
Cap dodges a slam from Zola's running and uses him as a springboard to end up on top of the armored vehicle. He pulls his shield out of the destroyed turret, tightens it on his wrist, and jumps down, striking the android in the head with the shield, making it stager.
Zola Spoke Up: "That's not just for show!" The head transforms into what looks like an optical camera, but the lens shines red and aims a beam at Steve. He stands his ground, using the shield to block the beam and redirect it into the air. The intensity of the beam starts to push Steve back. Until Steve redirects the laser back at Zola, slicing the android's arm off and throwing it off balance. Steve charges the android with his shield, knocking it over. Steve doesn't give the android a second to breathe and stands over it, striking the head repeatedly until he decapitates it. Finally, lifting the shield and slamming it into the chest, disabling the android.
The android starts to power down. "You may have defeated me today, but remember this, Captain: You cut off one head, and another one takes its place. Hail Hydra. " The Android shuts down and lies on the floor, powered down. Steve steps towards the armored vehicle, looks inside, and sees it is empty, but Steve notices on the side a kid with green hair hidden behind a car writing down notes.
Izuku had just seen what he assumed to be an up-and-coming pro from so close. He had so many questions. What was his quirk? What was his name, and what was that shield made of, or who made it? The costume color coordination looked good; his flexibility was also taken into consideration. The hero was walking up to him. Izuku fumbled, threw his backpack, and looked for a pen. As soon as the man tried to speak, Izuku took the opportunity.
Izuku held out his notebook with the pen."Can I have your autograph?!
Steve looked at the kid strangely. "Um, Shure." Cap took the notebook from the kid. He saw the kid's black-and-white drawing of him and signed it. The kid's drawing wasn't bad for just having seen him in costume during the fight."Are you ok, kid? Cap handed the notebook back to the kid.
Izuku looked at the towering man in front of him. He didn't know why but when he looked at the man he felt respect towards him. "Yes, sir !"
Steve looked at the kid strangely. "Sir? "
Izuku shuffled his feet. "I heard the villain call you captain ."
"Just call me Steve. Are you sure you're alright? What's your name?" Steve noticed his hand. "Your hand looks purple?"
Izuku looks at his broken hand. "I'm Izuku and I've dealt with worse than this. "Izuku told Steve to try to convince himself more than Steve.
Steve shook his head. "Let's get you some medical attention come on kid."Steve looked at Tony Welding the bridge cable back together he seemed just about done and it seemed this excursion had gone off with minimal damage and the kid relatively unharmed.
Erik Saltz was just one of many Hydra members that had taken part in this mission. The rest of his squad had gotten captured by dam Spider-Man. Now, he was on top of One Manhattan Square, aiming at Captain America through the scope of a high-powered rifle. If they couldn't fulfill the mission objective then at least he could be the Hydra agent that killed Captain America. He was about to pull the trigger when a web stuck to the gun. He pulled the trigger to get the shot off. "Bam''! The shot rang out as he was knocked out by one of Peter's Punches.
A few seconds earlier.
Zola had rerouted emergency power to the movement. Sure, he wouldn't have enough power for his backup drive, but the master copy was still out there, so it was worth the sacrifice. Zola dragged himself towards the armored vehicle. He reached inside the mini armory and grabbed a Carbonadium Grenade that they had packed because they had heard the Wolverine was going to be in attendance. Zola pulled the pin and threw the grenade with the last of his battery. "Auf Wiedersehen dear Captain ``.The robot had completely shut down.
Steve had made it to a crowd of people with the kid in tow. Some kids were asking for an autograph. "Bam '' Steve had gotten shot in the shoulder. He pushed the kid over in case the gunman fired a second shot. The crowd tried to disperse, but panic had set in, causing mayhem. He wasn't sure where the shot had come from, but then he heard something metallic land nearby. They were just ahead of him. A grenade landed near a woman and her child. Where He wouldn't be able to reach his shield in time, he would try to jump and take the brunt of the explosion. He was about to leap when he saw a flash of green hair run by. It was the kid Steve was wondering what the kid was doing when he saw him jump onto the grenade using his backpack as some sort of buffer. He was about to try and grab the kid when ."Boom"
The next few seconds were in slow motion for Steve. He wasn't sure if it was from the sound of the grenade or what he had just witnessed. The kid had jumped on top of the grenade, and Steve swore he heard the kid say, "Get Away, Get Back !" The kid had been launched back with the explosion and was knocked back into a car. Steve ran up to him. His hands and legs were blown off. He had a puncture wound in the neck. The shirt he was wearing was destroyed. His entire chest was purple, and you could see little shrapnel puncture wounds. His ears were bleeding. He was losing a lot of blood. Steve put a hand on the puncture on his neck.
"Why did you do that kid!"
Izuku looked past Steve at the mother kissing her son on the forehead. Steve saw what he was looking at. Izuku tried to speak, but his mouth was filled with blood. He was starting to feel cold, and he was losing focus ."I just wanted to help them." Izuku knew what was happening to him. He had hoped maybe the backpack would absorb more of the blast but he knew the risk. His consciousness was fading, but Izuku had one last thought. (I finally got to be a hero mom. Sorry, I won't be able to come home and tell you about it ). He closed his eyes, and everything went black.
Back In alternate Japan.
Inko was passed out with dark circles under her eyes. Then, suddenly, she was woken up by what felt like thunder running through her system. She didn't know where her baby was, but she knew something had happened to him. All of a sudden, there was a knock on her door. She opened it and saw Detective Naomasa standing there with a man with what looked like a scarf wrapped around him. Inko felt hope that maybe they had news about her son. Maybe he was at the hospital waiting to see her right now. But then she saw the look on their faces.
"Ms. You might want to sit down for this."Said Naomasa
Inko took a seat and listened intently.
"We Found traces of the kidnappers' ring. We were able to shut down the one where we theorized your son was located. Unfortunately, when we questioned the smugglers we arrested, they said that any teens they had were sent off yesterday. But that none of them were alive. Sorry for your loss."
Inko's heart shattered, and she fell to her knees. Tears ran down her face as she processed what she heard. Her baby, her one and only son, was not missing but gone. She would never see that smile again. She would never be kept up by him obsessing over a new hero. She would not even be able to bury his body in a proper funeral. Then she got angry.
"My Baby is gone because you didn't do your job. You let a kidnapping ring go unnoticed until a victim came forward asking about her already missing son. Now he's gone because of you!"Inko stood up. "All my boy wanted to do was help people. He was a sharp student, and now he's dead ." All the silver wherein the room started to lift, then the lamps, and then even the couch were all being affected by her quirk. Then the man with the scarf stared at her, and it all came crashing down. Inko fell to her knees again and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Just get out; I want to be alone. "
The detective and the scruffy-haired man walked out. Outside the door was All Might wearing a big frown, and then Shota spoke up.
"You're going to have to tell her your part in this eventually."
"I know." The three men walked away from the house, where continued sobbing could be heard throughout the night.
