Peter walked in and watched as Steve punched through a bag filled with steel pellets. The bag shook as it was ripped from its hinges and thrown into the wall exploding in a spray of metallic bead-sized pellets.Peter nodded his head as he thought to himself, "He does look a lot stronger than Steve from any incarnation I"ve seen before. Although he still has the looks of the MCU"s Captian America."
Steve saw Fury enter and said, "What another mission?"
Peter walked up to him and held out his hand, "Hi, big fan! Did you ever get a chance to punch the real Hitler? My dad and uncle used to tell stories of how our grandpa saw you in that show you put on to boost morale, right up to before you rushed out to fight in the war." Peter then pulled out a pen and a picture of his grand father"s. It showed the moment when Steve was supposed to punch the actor playing everyone"s most hated Geman Leader.
Steve started laughing, and after signing it he said, "I haven"t thought of that stupid act in a long time, actually after going out to fight, I really did end up punching the real Hitler, unfortunately, an old foe showed up to save him before I could do anything else. So your grandfather was a soldier in the fight? Anyone, I know?"
Peter laughed as he said, "That would defeat the purpose of wearing a mask, Mr. Rogers."
"Please, call me Steve or Captian, seeing as your the new recruit Fury"s been talking about," Steve replied and pointed to the ring. "Car to try me out?"
Peter jumped into the ring and said, "I think I can match you."
Steve laughed and said, "You"re right Fury, he really does hide his feelings behind his jokes."
Peter looked to Fury who was grinning at him, Peter turned back to Captian America and held his hands out in a boxing stance. Steve smiled as he mirrored him and the two started to fight, Peter stood still to test Steves speed and began dodging with great accuracy, only moving an inch away from his attacks, Steve continued to change up his tempo in order to confuse Spiderman. However, his Spidey sense made him untouchable, Peter had to admit though, without his spidey sense he might just lose this match, Steve"s experiences were bountiful and his fighting style impeccable and without waste, and Peter was absorbing all just from looking, and learning.
Seeing he was getting nowhere with boxing, Steve started to put in other martial arts, Peter smiled and countered with his own, the two fought back for a while, when Peter managed to score a takedown and put Captian America in an Arm Bar lock.
Captian tapped the floor and as Peter let go and the two stood back up, "Point for me."
"How did you?" Captain America was amazed, he had never been so thoroughly defeated before when Peter explained, "I have a danger sense of sorts, that alerts me to your real attacks, no matter how good you are with feints, you"ll never be able to fool my senses. However, if we both fought for real and I suppressed this ability, then maybe you would"ve won."
Peter held out his hand and said, "I look forward to you being my instrutor, I"m sure there is a lot for you to teach us."
MJ hopped up, and said, "My turn next!"
Captain America laughed as he once again experienced defeat, MJ also saw how crazy good at fighting Captian America was, she could only compare him to Shang just a little less experienced, but the strength he had was actually a bit stronger than the two of them.
Peter asked why he was training his muscles when Captian America said, "Actually during the war, I never really worked out, however, after being thawed out of the Ice, I started working out to pa.s.s the time. At first, I didn"t notice any change, but after a few years of continuing to do so, I could feel myself getting stronger."
Peter nodded his head as he listened, it appeared this Captian America discovered the secret to his super muscles sooner than the Ultimate Captian America.
"So is their a way to remove that special sense while I train you?" Steve asked,
Thanks to their Symbiote"s abilities they could indeed suppress their Spidey-Sense, and after informing him that they"d done so, Steve"s Spartan-like training began. The two were constantly being beaten up without the aid of their senses, and thanks to Steve"s regiment they spared for 8 hours straight. The two felt like pupils again and when Steve noticed that they had a good healing factor he pushed them even harder.
After the physical training, they began their spy training by learning from Black Widow, a.k.a Natalie Romanov, after reintroducing her self as a shield agent, she began teaching them about the trade, such as hacking, infiltration and stealth tactics. The two soaked up the information like sponges and continued to do this routine for a week. They still couldn"t defeat Steve even when working together, but it was time for the vacation.
They invited Harry and Liz to go out to the beach with them for the weekend, they would rent a nearby hotel and spend some time together before school starts, he even invited Johhny to come and play as well.
The group agreed and spent the whole weekend playing on the beach, MJ questioned Liz about her hiding the fact that she was dating Harry relentlessly, when the two started gossiping, Peter nudged Harry on the back with his elbow and said, "You should have told me too!"
Harry responded, "Sorry, I know Liz used to pick on you with Flash, I thought you wouldn"t approve."
"Nah, that was all Flash, sure she laughed, but it"s not like she made fun of me as well," Peter said casually, "Liz told me she felt bad about how she acted and said she wanted to better herself, one thing led to another, and we started dating."
Peter laughed and asked, "So you like her?"
Harry nodded his head, "A lot."
As the group enjoyed their vacation Harry asked, "I still can"t believe you know one of the Fantastic Four."
Peter waved his hand seeing Johhny strike out on hitting on ladies, they apparently didn"t believe he was the Human Torch. After activating his flame on ability, however, the ladies were crowding around him in h.o.a.rds.
It was the last night before school started and they were sitting around the bonfire they made on the beach, Johnny was bragging on how they fended off Galaticus and saved the world from being eaten; when they noticed a girl in the distance start screaming, Peter, MJ, and Johnny looked to see a red-headed girl bursting into flames.
They ran over to see nonother than Angelica Jones the original Firestar manifesting her power, Peter was in awe, when Johnny shouted, "Calm down!" as he entered his Flame On mode.
Seeing this Angel started to calm down, Johnny began coaching her on how to control her power, when she managed to land and withdraw the power into her body, MJ sudden; covered Peter"s eyes, and Liz"s Harry"s. Angel was looking at her hands when Johnny quickly covered her with a towel with a flushed face.
Peter was still shocked that he"d meet Angelica here of all places, in the Ultimate timeline, it was Liz who transformed while on the beach, it appeared there was another major difference in this world, as Angel didn"t exist in the Ulitmate universe, or at least she remained an unimportant character.
Angel"s friends had all ran away while calling her a demon, and a freak. Even her boyfriend gave her a disgusted look when she found out she was a mutant. Peter sighed when Johnny explained that she was a Mutant, rather than a mutate like him Liz showed a face of disgust for a moment; when Peter frowned and said, "Something bothering you Liz?"
"No...I mean, she"s you know a mutant!" Peter frowned from her response and said, "So What?! Every living thing on this planet is a mutant, you, me, the plants, animals, every life on his planet grows and evolves, the word mutant is nothing more than an explanation for evolution. If you"re afraid of her, then what would you do, if someday, your child or grandchild mutates to become a powered person, will you scorn them too?"
Liz was taken aback by Peter"s speech, and forced to do some serious reflection, while Angel seemed to be thankful for his att.i.tude smiled at him and said, "Thank you, Peter." Tears started to come out of her eyes when MJ smiled and held Peter"s hand before saying, "Angel, how about you join us, I"m sure Liz won"t mind you rooming with us."
MJ glared a bit at Liz, when she nodded her head in acceptence, Angel was reluctant but couldn"t resist the pull of MJ"c charisma, after spending some time with her and getting to know her, Liz started to see Mutants were no different than herself and started opening up to Angel. Johnny was making googly eyes at her all night which left Peter and Harry laughing as they teased him.
Johnny gave Angel his number and address before they went to bed, that night a loud explosion of noise that shook their hotel room and tore off the wall the ladies" bedroom. Peter, Johnny, and Harry heard the noise of the girls shouting and shot out of their beds like bullets, Peter and the rest ran to their room to see Magento floating outside the hotel.
Peter knew he was in trouble because the two couldn"t suit up in front of their friends, Peter gave Johnny a nod and watched as he activated his Flame on form, taking Harry and Liz out of there Magneto attempted to stop him, Peter and MJ, however, activated their suits and webbed him pulling him to the ground. Luckily Johnny was moving so fast they couldn"t see.
Just before Magneto hit the ground he stopped and floated before the ground and looked to Peter and MJ before saying, "That"s odd I wasn"t expecting more mutants."
Magneto changed where he was looking to Angel and said, "I was sent by your father, as a fellow member of the brotherhood I promised to take care of you should you ever uncover your powers."
Magneto controlled a series of sc.r.a.ps and sent them after MJ and Peter to restrain them, but Johnny had returned to and melted them down to slag before it could get near them, Peter was so glad Magneto was an idiot, if he had even half of the intelligence that Peter or Prof.X had, then he would be far more powerful then he ever realized. Magneto controls magnetics, the atoms that exist everywhere are held together by a magnetic field, and if he could manipulate them he would be like a G.o.d.
Technically Magneto should be cla.s.sified as an above omega level Mutant, but his failure to understand his own power was one of the biggest reasons he wasn"t cla.s.sified as such.
If he mastered and fully understood it, the only beings that would be a match for him would have to be on the same level as Owen Reece, also known as Molecule Man. If there was one power Peter wanted, to copy, it would be Magneto"s.
Peter stared down Magneto and made to reign in his emotions, right now he couldn"t even get close to him, much less subdue him, suddenly Johnny shouted, "What if she doesn"t want to go?"
"Johnny, what is the Brotherhood of Mutants?" Angel asked when MJ said, "I"ve heard of the Brotherhood of Mutants, they"re a group dedicated to the cause of mutant superiority over humans. Throughout its various incarnations, the Brotherhood"s agenda gravitated towards either subjugating the human race to the will of mutants or eradicating humanity altogether."
Peter grabbed his chin and said, "So they"re modern day n.a.z.i"s!"
Magneto looked like he was about to pop, "We are not n.a.z.i"s!"
Peter looked back to him and shouted "Explain how you"re not a n.a.z.i if any of what he says is true. Humans are Humans, no matter the mutation, or emerging power. A single change in our biology isn"t the only thing that makes us the same species. You say you want to enslave mankind because you view all mutants as a superior species, Hitler thought the same thing; you want to kill simply because some people are lacking the X gene, the n.a.z.i thought the same thing about the Jewish. Face it Magneto, you"re a modern-day n.a.z.i. And a hypocrite too if you think otherwise."
The ground beneath them started to shake achieving what Peter wanted to do, p.i.s.sing him off so that Xiaver could locate them, causing a small tumor like this was sure to alert him.
