46) The Battle Begins

Everyone left the room and went to their separate sections to prepare themselves for the upcoming battle. Peter walked up to Stark as he began to walk towards the elevator down the hall.

"Excuse me, sir? I don't know if I'm ready for a full-blown battle for what might lead to the destruction of the entire country. I don't know if I can do this, what if I mess this whole thing up? I'm just a dumb kid Mr Stark." said Peter.

"Look kid, I wouldn't have picked you if I didn't think you were ready. You've shown heart and determination to save lives before what makes this so different? Yes, the scales are larger but you're not alone on this one. You don't think everyone else is scared or nervous, cause I'll tell you one thing they are shitting bricks just like you. Everyone is nervous when you have people to protect but we don't let it consume us, we use it to get shit done. You need to have more faith in yourself kid, especially when your job right now is saving lives and I know you can do it." replied Tony.

 Peter couldn't respond and looked away from Stark wondering if this was something he could do. He was used to normal superpowered criminals, but a war with the entire city at stake. He felt he was being thrown in the deep end of the pool after just tipping his toe in the water.

"Go get yourself a new suit, we can't have you go out in battle in that" added Tony pointing at the claw mark on Peter's suit, before continuing his walk towards the elevator. 

"Thank you, Mr Stark," replied Peter. 

"No problem, you got this." replied Tony putting his thumb up, and continuing to walk away. 

30 MINUTES LATER 

"I see they still haven't responded. I'll take their silence as retaliation, what a shame. I really hoped they wouldn't choose this path." said Vulcan sitting in his chair outside this coffee shop with a hat and shades. He began to dial a number on his phone and placed it next to his ear, "Kill all the members of the Avengers, except the ones mentioned before. Soon we push the world into a new improved era, good luck my friends." he added.

AVENGERS TOWER

"Alright everyone, this is probably the biggest and most dangerous situation you've ever dealt with, but this time you're with others to help you throughout this ordeal. You don't have to do it alone this time and don't try to be arrogant for the spotlight, this is not the time, especially with people's lives at stake. I trust that you're all ready for this, Avengers Assemble." Capt told everyone.

BOOM

The top of the tower exploded in a ball of flames with the top of the building slowly collapsing. The loud boom shook Peter as the people stuck in traffic trying to escape yelled in fear. More explosions could be heard from the distance all around.

As the large rubble of Avengers Tower began to fall on the people and heroes Quicksilver started to move the civilians out of the way the best he could. 

"Save the people, quickly" ordered Capt, as the group used their powers to try and save as many as they could in the little time they had. 

The rubble was falling quickly and Peter slung a woman and kid into safety on his back. The others do the same dropping off the last bunch as a large cloud of dust waved across them. 

"Spider-Man and 3D-Man head south, Behemoth and Hawkgirl head southeast. Tigra, and Shadow head East, Iceman and Black-Bolt go northeast. Me and Hawkeye will go North. Iron Man covers the West with Quicksilver and use your tracking systems. It's no or never people, Let's get this done" said Capt. 

"Leaving all the work to me, as usual" added Tony.

"You never change" replied Capt. 

"Calm down lover boys we have a superpowered maniac to beat" added Hawkeye. 

"Very funny, talk to me when your entire stick is no longer shooting arrows when guns are a much more effective alternative." retorted Tony.

"Let's put it this way, anyone who's pointed a gun at me is either in jail or in a coffin" replied Hawkeye.

"Sure, pal, nice tough guy act," replied Tony while patting Hawkeye's shoulder. 

"Do you usually do this during a war?" added Peter.

"We've had our fun now everyone, let's actually do our jobs," replied Capt before running towards his direction.

"Let's get going," said 3D-Man to Peter, while pulling out a large thin piece of paper in the shape and color of a motorcycle. He placed it on the floor and his hand on it before in a cloud of smoke the motorcycle became 3D. 

"You can do that? What else do you carry around with you?" asked Peter.

"Oh, I have a lot of fun little bits and bobs I can use" replied 3D-Man.

"Bits and Bobs? I don't think I've heard anyone say that in a sentence, you clearly from an older generation," replied Peter

"What's wrong with bits and bobs? I like it, it adds a little funk. You get me?" replied 3D-Man.

"You're clearly senile," added Peter.

"Wow, going there are we? I see, I'll get back to you soon enough just you wait. But we better start heading off," replied 3D-Man. 

"You're probably right, Let's get going," replied Peter before swinging off as 3D-Man revved his engine and started following. 

QUICKSILVER

Quicksilver started to run through the streets of the chaos, stopping periodically to make sure that the civilians were all safe. A loud screech came from the intersection in front of him followed by a car flying into view heading toward a mother holding her child.

Quicksilver ran and lifted the two out of the way as the car came in closer before crashing and rolling ahead. He kneeled, "Are you ok?" he asked as the woman nodded while holding in her tears and her child.

Standing where the car came from was a woman with long and straight ginger hair and a green headband. She had long black boots, a green latex suit, and a black latex waist jacket with two green bands holding it tight around her. She also had green gloves and the jacket had a little badge on it.

"Hello, Quicksilver," said the woman.

"And who are you?" asked Quicksilver standing up and facing her.

"I'm Siren, but that isn't what's important right now," replied Siren.

"I'd say it is" replied Quicksilver entering a start position, with his hand on the floor.

"I've come to offer you one last chance to join us, your brother and sisters," she replied. 

"I feel like we've skipped a few steps in our relationship" replied Quicksilver. 

"Операция «Гайя», we know what they did to you Quicksilver as they did the same to all of us. If you have a family who would be if not us?" said Siren. 

Quicksilver's eyes opened wide, surprised. Before his face became angry, "I'll ask you again, who are you?" he said.
