EAS

Just as Savant was wiping his sweat, another ionic blast hit his bare back. He turned around and looked at the woman whose legs were shaking crazily and aiming her gum at Savant. Surprisingly, even though her legs were shaking, her hands were stable.

"So it was you? Don't you know research etiquette as a scientist yourself? You shouldn't disturb someone while they are conducting sensitive experiments. What if I had lost control and blown up this whole building?" Savant reprimanded the scientist as she slumped down to the ground.

"Anyway, I have marked all of you, so you have 24 hours to either report to the Earth Academy of Sciences as captive scientists or leave the solar system. And don't forget to take all the resources, research results, and everything AIM has collected in its lifetime. I can turn him back and I can turn you all into lab rats too so choose wisely." Savant warned and disappeared out of thin air.

There was a silence in the room for a long while before the woman who shot at Savant before stood up and started running to her office while shouting, "What are you doing, start packing up and get everyone. Fast!"

With her shouting as the cue, the whole of AIM began to move at a fast pace. Without any explanation, the scientists in the lower positions were hurriedly shoved into planes and flown to the EAS headquarters. There were already officials waiting for them there.

The scientists were then assessed for their criminal behavior and based on that they were made to wear security bracelets to monitor them inside EAS.

Spiderman was having as normal of a day as he could as a superhero in New York. He had only gotten halfway through his breakfast when he heard on his modified police scanner about the Lizard wreaking havoc in a research facility in lower Manhattan.

Spidey was frustrated at how many times he had to capture and send these guys to jail only for them to return within a week like they weren't captured at all. But as his uncle had said, this was his responsibility and he had to rise to the occasion no matter how frustrating it got.

Swinging through the high-rise buildings, Spider-Man reached the place just in time to see the Lizard running out of the building under gunfire while holding something. Probably some proprietary research related to bioengineering, Peter thought.

It didn't matter too much though, he just had to stop the rampaging monster and bring some calm to the city. He also had to finish his breakfast and get to the Daily Bugle to submit the photographs before Jameson chewed him out for being late.

Oh, I have classes too. I keep forgetting those, Peter landed in front of the Lizard while thinking.

"That's the end of your rampage! Hand over the briefcase and surrender or I will have to make you do that. I haven't had my breakfast yet so you don't want to upset me." Spiderman quipped at the big lizard.

The Lizard looked Spidey up and down before grunting a little and ran in the opposite direction.

"Hey! Stop!" Spidey chased after the Lizard and tried to web him in an attempt to stop the big guy but he felt the spidey-sense tingle and dodged just in time to miss Doc Ock's claws smashing through his chest.

"Good reflexes spidey-boy." Doctor Octopus smiled as one of his claws took hold of the briefcase.

"Oh no! Is this one of your villainous group thing again? Sinister six? Or was it five?" Spiderman mocked as he dodged the metallic claws while approaching Doc Ock.

Although Peter was just making fun of them, he heard the ominous laughter that made his spidey-sense go blaring. And lo and behold, the green goblin was flying down on his glider and shooting bombs already.

Peter almost swore as he swiftly did backflips to avoid the explosions and maintained the distance from the trio. "Now I'm really curious, what is in that briefcase?"

A new voice replied this time, "They think there is the prototype for Savant's Cure Serum in it but I'll let you in on a secret on account of us being best friends, it just has my semen."

Peter really didn't want to hear that voice this early in the morning. He wasn't ready for whatever craziness Deadpool was bringing along this time. It never was anything simple with him. Wacky adventures, demons, assassins, demonic assassins, dimension hopping, you can never tell.

"What do you mean by that?" Doc Ock asked in a confused tone and forced open the briefcase and found a vial there. On the vial, there was a large tag with childish handwriting. On it was written, Deadpool's swimmers. In his fury Doc Ock broke the vial and the liquid got on his claws.

"Yuck!" Spiderman gagged at that while the trio of villains just got angrier, especially Doctor octopus.

The battle once again started with Deadpool being the focus of the villains and Spidey trying to incapacitate them.

"Why did you even trick them in the first place? Why bait them out of hiding?" Spiderman asked Deadpool as they fought the trio.

"Oh, don't be jealous but I have this new friend who asked me to round up all of the scientists in your rogue's gallery. He said he'll give me a surprise if I do a clean job without causing any casualties." Deadpool answered and brought out a bazooka out of nowhere and fired it at the Lizard.

Spiderman who was tangled with the Goblin and Doc Ock noticed this and shouted, "This is a public place. What are you doing?"

Deadpool smiled a smile through the mask and replied, "Don't worry. This will end soon."

The bazooka did not actually explode as Peter had expected and actually only released a gas that made the Lizard unconscious. Taking advantage of the distracted villains, Deadpool fired two more tranquilizer bullets to bring down the other two villains.

Spiderman burst out in anger, "If you could do that all along, why did you wait until now? Couldn't you have done that before when I was distracting them? We wouldn't even have to fight them."

Deadpool shrugged, "I have to make it seem like I put in some effort at least. If it's too easy, he might not give me a big surprise."

Spiderman wanted to say something but decided against reasoning with Deadpool. "Who wants you to get them anyway? And why do they need these guys?"

Deadpool slung his hand around Spiderman and said in a low voice, "Didn't you know? The EAS has been aggressively recruiting scientists." He then turned to the three villains and added, "Some more aggressive than others."

Spiderman felt conflicted. He wanted to get into EAS too. The way it was advertised, the details about its infrastructure and everything about it that was known in the media had made EAS sound like the mecca for all scientists. He had been thinking of how to convince Tony and the others who were still very anti-Doom.

But, "They qre recruiting villains? Maybe Doom really is up to something nefarious." Spidey said out loud.

"He did say that heroes would say something like that if they saw me capturing these guys." Deadpool chuckled.

"He? Who are you talking about?"

Deadpool facepalmed, "Right! I forgot to tell you. My new friend is Savant."

"He is involved in this too?" Spiderman asked with some surprise.

"If any hero questions you about this, tell them to go see the EAS headquarters before starting another meaningless battle. I am far too busy to play-fight with people in spandex. Those were his exact words. Right! Why don't you come with me to see it?" Deadpool replied.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Deadpool had somehow managed to convince Peter to go with him on a visit to the Earth Academy of Sciences. In classic Deadpool fashion, they had teleported straight to the EAS grounds where they were greeted with automatic security systems which stood down once the intruders were identified.

"Deadpool." The female security personnel who had come out said in a practiced annoyed tone.

"Hey there, Betty!" Deadpool tried to play it cool but caved in under her stare, "Okay, okay. I won't teleport into restricted space again. Now can you let us out? I have a guest and three captives with me here."

Betty sighed and pressed a button on her remote and only then did Peter see the mesh of energy shield unfold around them. Seeing that Spiderman was looking intently at the energy shield, Betty proudly explained, "Containment force-field. Specifically used for unauthorized teleportation users. It's usually wasted on him though."

"Cool." Spidey whistled.

"You have seen nothing if you think just this is cool." Betty spoke and walked inside followed by the duo.
