Midtown School
Arthur was walking through the school, full of thoughts about recent events. But he was especially worried that today S.H.I.E.L.D. might find the fractal that was at the bottom of the sea.
«Arthur," he heard and looked up.
Felicia was standing in front of him, but this time with light make-up, which gave her charm.
«'Ah, Felicia... Hello...' Arthur said.
«Why so glum, is something wrong? - she asked, coming up from the side.
«No, just thinking," he smiled, but then blushed when he saw the button undone.
«Well, why don't you share your thoughts with me at the café tonight? - She asked, hugging his arm.
«Well... Why not... - Arthur looked up, blushing even more.
Hardy only smiled. Then Evans suddenly saw Leo ahead of him.
«Sorry, I'll be right back - said the brown-haired man ran forwards.
He ran towards Morris.
«レオ!やめる!(Reo! Yameru!) - he shouted.
«そして,Sperkorはどうですか?またはそのようなもの?なんでしょう?(Soshite, Sperkor wa dōdesu ka? Matawa sono yōna mono? Na ndeshou?) - The dark haired man looked at him while he hid his bandaged arm, fire heat was coming from his body, he also had a checker with a blinking light bulb around his neck.
«スペクトル.?レオ,混乱しないでください,私はアーサーです...私はあなたのすぐ後ろに座っています (Supekutoru. ? Reo, konran shinaide kudasai, watashi wa āsādesu... Watashi wa anata no sugu ushiro ni suwatte imasu) - Arthur replied.
«すみません,どうやら私は間違っていました(Sumimasen, dōyara watashi wa machigatte imashita) - he replied, scratching the back of his head.
«Are you alright? You don't look so good," Evans said in his native tongue.
«I... I don't feel well... - he answered.
«Do you want to go to the infirmary? - asked the brown-haired man.
«Oh, yeah..." said Morris.
«'Or maybe you could ask Mr Colson for an excuse? - he asked.
«'Mg...' replied the Japanese man.
Suddenly the checker began to absorb the heat and the dark-haired man exhaled.
«Okay, I'll see you around, if you need anything," Arthur moved on, walking past him.
Leo looked back and saw that from the back Arthur looked like Spectre. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked again.
«既視感(Kishikan) - said the dark-haired man.
***
Arthur walked towards the exit of the school, putting his hands in his pockets. He looked at the time. The mission started at 18:00 and it was now 15:06.
«Three hours..." said Evans.
«Arthur! - he heard and turned round.
Felicia came running up to him with her rucksack behind her.
«'Ah, Felicia,' said Evans.
«I thought you promised me a conversation in the café - she smiled.
«Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot - he replied, smiling.
«Hey, Arthur! - Laura and Gwen came running up this time.
«Bro, my aunt called, she said to hurry home," Kinney said.
«Arthur, can I come with you, because my father can't pick me up, and I'm a bit scared myself? - Gwen asked.
«I guess I'm just dreaming of a holiday," Evans said, scratching the back of his head. - Laura, can't you take Gwen out?
«Are you going to send two defenceless girls off alone? - His cousin asked.
«You know, knowing what kind of hook you have, you're not defenceless at all..." he replied.
She just looked away, crossing her arms over her chest.
«I'm sorry, Felicia, I guess some other time," Arthur smiled.
«Okay, but next time you'll come under any circumstances," she said.
He just nodded. Then Arthur was led by his cousin and childhood friend. They glanced at Felicia with a glare.
***
Arthur sat and looked at the fractal shard he had received in the portal. The shard of the sword of eternity was in a glass of water.
«How do you pick up a piece of metal that you can't touch with your hands...? - he asked, then tilted his head sideways. - A piece of metal...?
After a second it clicked in his head and he began to solder what device.
***
Dark-haired guy was walking to the dormitory at Midtown High when he heard different footsteps. This caused him to change from his usual stride to a run, and before he could turn around, he crashed into a Hydra soldier. Behind him was a soldier Avm, and suddenly they began to fight for the boy. Suddenly, however, a familiar robot appeared - A-01. He knocked out two of them by knocking their heads against each other. The robot had apparently gone through another upgrade that affected his chest and limbs. His forearms became slightly more massive, as did his shins and feet.
«Obstacles removed... Target... - Small suction cups flew out of his chest and touched the guy's chest. - Captured.
A second later, Morisse was electrocuted, causing the guy to pass out. Leo was just about to collapse, but a robot picked him up, then took him on its shoulder and flew away.
18:00. By the wharf
The submarine S.H.I.E.L.T.A. was standing next to it, Daisy crossing her arms over her chest. Spider-Man flew in first on a spider web.
«Hi, hope you're not too late. - The spider asked in his usual manner.
«You'll be the first - replied Johnson, looking at the time.
Spectre landed right after that, too, with a waterproof rucksack-container on his shoulders.
«Sorry I'm a little late - he said.
«Okay, what's with the rucksack? - Daisy asked.
«Company secret - answered Evans.
«Okay... Here come the battle chiefs - she said, looking behind the guys.
The guys turned round too and their jaws dropped open on their own. Aria was walking towards them in a white suit with a backpack and armed to the teeth.
«M-Miss Evans?! - Parker asked.
Arthur was in shock and stupor at the same time.
«I'm aware that you go to Midtown, and I'm aware of who you are spider-man, so you're going to turn me in to my son... - she showed me a coin, then bent it on bare strength. - Am I making myself clear?
They just nodded.
«Well, let's go then - Aria climbed onto the sub and jumped into the hatch.
Spidey, Spectre and Daisy followed her. Silver-Haired closed the hatch, for he was the last to get in.
***
Leo woke up on Z-01's shoulder. Flying in straight over the city.
«鉄片!行かせて!(Teppen! Ika sete!)" shouted Morris.
The robot only followed the request and the guy started to fall. Then Z-01 caught him by the arm.
«手放す?(Tebanasu?)-he asked.
Morris only gritted his teeth. True after a second, suddenly a sewer manhole flew into the robot's head and he let go of Leo. Then a second later the dark-haired man was caught in his arms.
«Hey, are you okay, are you alive? - heard the Japanese man and opened his eyes.
He was held in his arms by a jade beauty, Jennifer Walters, aka Hulk Woman.
«Hey! Brother! Thor! Catch the iron! - she shouted.- No problem, Goldilocks, hit it back! - The Hulk threw another hatch at Thor.
«Sure thing, my friend Hulk! - Odinson replied and smashed the hatch with his hammer.
The hatch, covered in lightning, flew at Z-01. Turbines sprang from his back, which made him stop in mid-air and then caught the hatch.
«Whoa, tough guy," said the Hulk.
Then the robot started spinning in the air and launched the hatch back. Thor arrived iron to tarmac with a hammer.
«Lucky you, I met with my defendant, okay, wait here - Jen put Leo, then jumped into the robot.
He turned round and got hit with a fist. After a second though, its torso opened up in front.
«Oh, Shit... - said Walters.
The robot, on the other hand, fired a beam similar to Iron Man's uniboom, but more massive.
«Jen! - Shouted the Hulk, then leapt at Z-01.
The robot turned its head 180°, whereupon its eye sensors widened slightly. He similarly unfolded his arms and fired missiles from them. But then he was unexpectedly hit in the side with a hammer.
«Hulk, don't forget that I'm here too! - shouted the god of thunder, then nailed the robot to the ground with a hammer blow.
The robot stopped firing and sparks began to fly from it.
«Hulk, smash! - shouted the green big guy, and then started hitting the robot.
The robot began to be mauled, but the body didn't even bend. At one point the robot was able to get out of the way by shooting a beam out of his arm. Then he kneeled down, leaning on his hands.
«Error! Error! Self-repair process initiated! Turbine recovery time, three minutes! Go on the defensive! - and then the robot rose to its stance.
«I'm gonna break you! You damn thing! - The Hulk flew at the robot.
But at the moment of impact, the robot parried his fist and grabbed it and threw it over him. Then he ducked under the impact of Jen's legs.
«Well, then, test the wrath of Asgard! - Thor raised his hammer, followed by a lightning strike.
The robot took the blow in his hands and concentrated it at one point between his arms.
«Odin's beard... - Thor said.
After that, lightning bolts flew at him. The robot then quickly flew up to Leo and knocked him out with a punch to the stomach. A-01 caught him on the shoulder and flew from there.
***
Spectre, Spidey and Daisy sat in the submarine that Aria was guiding.
«Help... - Arthur heard abruptly and looked around.
«Was something wrong? - Johnson asked.
«Must have heard it from the pressure drop.... - he replied, scratching the back of his head.
Meanwhile Evans lifted the collar of his suit and looked at his fractal, which resonated. Arthur reached into his rucksack. In it were six small discs with buttons, a dive mask and a GPS locator. The silver-haired man switched it on, making the settings. It showed a signal a few hundred metres away.
«Um... Miss Evans, can you turn right? - Arthur asked.
«Why? - His mother asked without turning round.
«A hunch... - he replied, adjusting his glasses.
«Okay - she replied, redirecting the submarine.
Spidey looked in his backpack and saw a homemade locator. Spectre, on the other hand, showed him his fist. Spidey nodded. When it wasn't far to the power source, suddenly the submarine shook.
«What happened! - Daisy asked.
«'My money's on Attuma,' replied Arthur.
«You're right - said Aria, then switched on the autopilot.
Later, diving suits appeared from the wall.
«Well, let's fight - said the brown-haired girl, pressing the bracelet on her wrist.
A diving mask was placed on her head. She drew her pistols. Spider at the same time put on a diving suit over the suit. Arthur did the same. The brown-haired man left his gloves open for comfort. The floor revealed an exit to the sea, which they used. Immediately afterwards, a trident flew past them. They looked in the direction from which the fork had come and saw Attuma and his soldiers.
«What have you mortals forgotten in my waters! - asked the king of the sea.
«Oh, gotcha... - said Arthur.
«We'll get through - replied Arya, and then opened fire.
Attum was neither hot nor cold from the bullets. At that time his minions swam at the others. They were tied together by the spider with its web. Daisy had a melee with the ones who had come in behind her underwater, and in an instant had knocked them back with her vibrations. Spectre at this time took advantage of Attuma's distraction and bombarded him with white energy. The Sea King was literally covered in salt crystals. Then Arthur punched him, using the acceleration of his flight and kicked him one last time.
«How dare you! - Attuma asked, after which he burst out of the salt.
The silver-haired man was within his reach. He ducked and then kicked below the waist with his foot. The spider seeing this somehow wrinkled his nose.
«How dare you use such nasty tricks against the king of the sea! - and then Attuma's fish flew at Spectre.
«AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! - Arthur flew away from them, straight towards the power source.
«Stop! Where?! - Aria asked.
«So, are we going to wait? - Daisy asked.
«Yeah, sure," she said. - Without him, he'll suffocate from lack of oxygen.
At the same time, the spider had tied Attuma's web tightly.***
Arthur flew underwater away from the sea creatures until he stopped and shot white energy at them from a U-turn. He was able to concretise them with salt. Spectre exhaled in relief, crossing his legs. The guy then pulled out a locator and two button discs. The closer the guy was to the source, the more his fractal glowed. Evans saw a rift in the ground where the light was shining. The hiker swam down and saw the fractal. It was quite large and resembled a crystal in shape. Arthur touched it with just the tip of his finger, but it was immediately covered by the fractal's energy.
«AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! - Energy began literally trying to burst out of his body. Somewhere from his ribs, somewhere from his arms.
However, when he let go of the fractal, it all stopped. After that, Evans immediately grabbed his ribs and steam was coming from him like he was cooling off. The silver-haired man took off his mask and coughed up blood before quickly putting the mask back on. The hitman then pulled out two discs, which he positioned so that they were the buttons on the outside and the fractal was between them. He pressed the buttons and waves appeared that wrapped around the shard of the sword of eternity.
«Thank you Lord... - Arthur said.
True a second later someone threw him back, with a thud. Spectre looked over and saw a squad of soldiers in diving suits. They all had the Sigma symbol.
«Oh I'm in trouble... - said Arthur, then hid the fractal in his rucksack. - So, guys, shall we talk?
The soldiers only silently swam towards him, launching hand-to-hand attacks. He parried their attacks, which was difficult, being underwater. But he managed to scatter the soldiers, trapping them in a salt trap. Then a fractal was pulled out of his rucksack.
«Who?! - Arthur asked, turning round.
And he saw how in his hands, or rather in the manipulator, the fractal was holding a drone. The drone itself was shaped like a saucer, except for the back, which had two engines on it.
«Bring it back! - Spectre shouted and tried to fire black energy, but was knocked back by a wave of water from the engine as the drone turned and floated away.
«When I catch up, I'll take it apart for a coffee machine and toaster! - Arthur shouted, and then flew after the drone.
To his displeasure, the drone was several times faster than him and dodged the black energy shots perfectly. At one point the drone began to plunge.... And Arthur realised why when he flew into Attuma.
«You?! - asked the king of Atlantis.
«No, I'm a myth - answered Evans, and then continued to chase the drone.... He was about to do so, but Attuma caught him by the scruff of the neck.
«Where are you going? We haven't finished the land one yet!
Arthur only covered his head with a salt hollow sphere, forcing him to let himself go. Immediately after, he flew after the drone.
«Halt! - The King of Atlantis shattered the sphere and swam after it.
The chase resumed, but this time the drone began to swim upwards sharply, which Spectre was happy about at first. Once out of the water he could just cover a much larger area with white light... And then he realised it was a trap. In particular, his suit started to burst at the seams due to the extreme pressure drop.... Arthur naturally stopped, then blocked Attuma's blow, which sent him into the nearest cluster of dead coral. And he was left to watch sadly as the drone disappeared from sight....
«Ugh.
Evans coated himself with a thin layer of black energy, and applied a white one on top, creating an armour of salt. He did this to direct the pressure on the salt and flew upwards. After a second, the hitman broke free of the salt and flew after the drone, but it disappeared.
«Oh, Shit... - Arthur said, stopping. - I've got two fractals, Sigma has one.... And there's a hell of a lot more scattered around the ground.... I'm screwed. I'm gonna get buried by Fury.
«I'm not just gonna bury you! I'm gonna put you in jail! - suddenly sounded on his wrist.
Evans had a communicator on his wrist. And it was Nick himself talking to it.
«Oh.
«I take it the target was missed? - Fury asked.
«Oops... Sorry - abruptly Arthur pulled out his mobile phone, on which he had received a message.
The message was from Felicia, and with it was a Geo-location. And the message was a single phrase: "HELP ME!".
«Excuse me, Comrade Temporal Chief, I have an urgent matter - the silver-haired man destroyed the communicator completely and flew through the geo-location.
To speed up, he was covered in white energy.
***
Arthur flew straight to the detached house and without seeing any extra eyes, he became himself. The brown-haired man then ran up to the house, which apparently had Felicia in it. Evans immediately knocked on the door. When it didn't open for about five minutes, but the light was on, he started breaking in with his foot. Then a guy about his age opened it.
«Who the hell are you? - He asked.
«Where's Felicia?! - Arthur asked.
«Who the hell is Felicia, we don't have any, get out or I'll call the police! - replied the bloke.
«Help! - Felicia's voice suddenly came from the first floor.
He hurried to close the door, but Evans opened it with a kick, breaking the bastard's nose. Evans then stepped in and kicked the creep in the stomach, and dodging his fist, threw him over himself and the couch, right back on the coffee table. The guy tried to get up, but collapsed.
«Ugh... - Arthur exhaled, after which he ran upstairs.
There he found Felicia with her hands tied behind her back and a bandage around her neck. Her sleeveless top and shirt front were torn, revealing her breasts and bra.
«'Arthur,' she said with tear-stained eyes.
«Shh, shh, shh, I'll untie you now - he started to untie the ropes and discreetly broke the knot, coating his fingertip with black energy.
«Ryan. He--
«I know what he was trying to do," Evans answered, tearing the ropes. - You sent the message just in time, and I was right there.
«Arthur. - the blonde hugged him, starting to cry. - Thank you.
«Shh, shh, it's all right, there's nothing more to be afraid of.
After that they headed downstairs and passed the arsehole.
«Wait a second - Arthur said, throwing his turtleneck over her, then went back into the house.
The brown-haired man peeked out slightly to make sure Felicia couldn't see, then looked around. Evans put the china cabinet on top of him.
«Lie like that, you won't die," he then ran to Felicia.
Arthur's house
Arthur and Felicia went into the house to the former's house. It was dark as at night in a cave.
«Arthur, is it okay that we came to see you? - she asked.
«Do you want your parents to eat you alive for looking like that? And me, too, for my sweatshirt? - Evans asked.
«Yeah...
Just then the lights came on and Arthur's hair stood on end. The brown-haired boy turned round and saw his mum and his cousin.
«Mum... Laura... - Arthur said.
«Well, do I have to explain to you that I'm waiting for an explanation...? - Aria asked, yawning. - Hello, Felicia.
«Z-z-z-hello... - Nodded the blonde-haired girl.
«So what happened? - she asked.
«Well... It's... - Chestnut scratched the back of his head. - Stopping the attempted wear and tear...
«Wear out what? - Laura asked, tilting her head to the side.
The brown-haired man only pointed at Felicia with his eyes. His mum and cousin just clapped their eyes together.
«Laura, put the kettle on, let's have some tea," Miss Evans said.
«Yes - Laura immediately ran into the kitchen and switched on the light.
Aria picked up the phone and started dialling a number. She called Felicia's mum and by some miracle she convinced her that it was nighttime, far away, and that her daughter should sleep over.
«So, come on in, kids," the brown-haired woman said.
«Ah-ha... - they nodded.
***
Aria's veins swelled up in her head after a couple of minutes of talking about what had happened.
«I don't like bastards who think with their privates! - Aria shouted, hitting the table.
«All men are arseholes.... - Laura said quietly.
Arthur, who was drinking tea standing against the wall, almost choked at that moment.
«So I'm a goat too? - he asked.
And then a drop rolled down Laura's head.
«Thank you, I thought I was the hero of the day, but I'm a goat. Goat. - the brown-haired man put down his mug and headed for the stairs. - I'm going to bed before I get labelled again.
«Arthur, well, I don't mean you...'' - Kinney said, to which Chestnut waved his hand.
«There you go. Offended... - said Aria.
Arthur redirected to the hall and plopped down on the sofa to sleep.
To be continued...
