Chapter 168

Chapter 185

I panted as we stepped back, watching the human shaped glass structure land onto the middle of the ground with unmoving sand surrounding it.

"That….was exhausting!" Johnny cried out.

"You're telling me," I sighed, I looked over and saw a hand sticking out the sand, a hand with three metal claws attached to it.

I went over and pulled Logan out of the sand, he gasped and spat out enough sand to make a castle, "I hate the beach."

"Why? Can't swim?" I asked. In response he just growled at me, glaring hateful daggers.

"Son!" I saw Richard run into the hangar with my gauntlets in hand.

"Son?" Cap asked surprised.

"Yeah, guess today's the day when all dad's somehow come back from the grave," I sighed as he approached us, looking at the glass encased Sandman.

"You did it," Richard panted as he looked in awe.

"Hey, we helped," Johnny smirked.

"Thanks for the gauntlets dad, they were amazing," I took them off and gave it to him, putting my own on in exchange.

Richard then turned and gasped at the sight of Cap, "y-your Captain America."

"In the flesh sir," Steve extended his hand.

"I-I've been following your work since I was a boy!" Richard quickly shook his hand, "I base my entire life's work on you."

Steve smiled, "Peter told me what you did, it takes a brave man to stand against evil, especially the way you did."

"I-I didn't do much, I just ran and...oh God," he turned to me with realisation in his eyes, "you fought aliens?!"

I blinked and looked around, "are you talking to me?"

"Yes! You fought aliens! And you're an Avenger! How-Does May and Ben know about this?!"

"No!" I cried out, "and you can't ever tell them! They would freak out!"

"What about me?! I'm your father!"

I shrugged, "think of it like a father son bonding experience. After all, a family that fights evil Nazis together, stays together."

"I think I'm having a heart attack," Richard rubbed his forehead.

"Huh, so that's where he get's it from," Johnny whispered.

"Spider!" I heard a familiar voice. I turned to see Felicia running out of a tunnel entrance with her father, Nat, May and Ben.

"Cat!" I cried out, spreading my arms out.

"Not the time honey!" she yelled. I looked over he shoulder and saw a squad of those animal hybrids chasing them.

"I got it!" I leaped over them and leveled my repulsors at the animals, blasting them back into the tunnel. I kept firing them back down every time they tried to get up, until finally they were all unconscious.

"Ben?" I heard Richard ask.

"Oh my God," came a faint voice. I watched as May fainted on the spot. Walter immediately caught her, while Ben just looked like he was doing his best to not faint as well.

"H-how?" Ben asked.

"It's a long story," Richard sighed.

"One we don't have the time for," Nat grabbed Ben's arm, "you're coming with us, let the others take care of this."

"But I-" Richard looked at me.

"It's fine Dr. Parker, we got this," I gave him a thumb's up. Nat, Walter carrying May, Richard, Ben and Felicia and ran to the exit, Richard throwed me a final look of regret, but I just waved him ahead.

Just then Cyclops and Jean entered, "we got them all out, SHIELD agents have them," Jean informed me telepathically.

"Got it," Cap nodded, "professor, can you get a fix on Wyndham?"

"I have been trying so for the last half an hour captain, I believe he's three floors down," Xavier responded. Huh, I was wondering where he went.

"Alright, you heard the man, let's move!" Cap ordered as he, Logan, Johnny, Scott, Jean and I all followed his lead towards a hallway that lead to a staircase.

They ran down, while I jumped over the side, free falling three floors before shooting a web line and swinging down into the door, slamming it open with my feet.

I landed on my knees and looked up, "woah."

The others quickly came in behind me and stopped in awe. The room was a large corridor filled with ten feet tall vats of blue liquid of some sort. The surface of the vats were frosted over, we couldn't see through their translucent glass surface.

Johnny lite his hand on flames and approached a vat, cleaning away the layer of ice, showing a mangled face underneath.

"What the fuck?!" Johnny cried out s he jumped back. I narrowed my eyes, I etched the face into my memory, Wyndham….you monster.

It was the face of a 12 year old child, blond hair, blue eyes. His mouth had no lips, his face swollen into itself with it's forehead jutting outwards. It was diseased, I prayed it wasn't alive in the first place to begin with, no one deserved such a life.

"Don't feel too bad," Wyndham's voice came through the speakers, we looked around but didn't find him anywhere close. He must be monitoring us through a camera. "They felt no pain."

"Y-you sick bastard!" Johnny cried out, "you twisted son of a bitch!"

"Language Mr. Storm," Wyndham chuckled, "surely you, a child born to a family of scientist can understand that sacrifices have to be made?"

"T-they are dreaming," Jean said with closed eyes, "he's brainwashing them, trying to make them loyal to him...to HYDRA."
