The Spider of Earthrealm (Male Spider-Man Reader x Mortal Kombat)

Chapter 22: The Beginning of a War

Steve and Tony were together as they were talking.

Steve: Status update.

Tony: Things aren't going great, Steve.

Tony looks at Steve with sadness on his face. His armor is disengaged as it is badly damaged against the battle between them and Rhino who had new armor supplied by Otto. Rhino took down Tony, Hulk and Wolverine until he escaped. Otto knew the heroes were there and sent Rhino to finish them but Rhino escaped and returned back to Otto, who was in Avengers Tower using it as a base of operations. Too make it worst, he has taken over the Raft freeing more villains and in return they will stand beside him in the war against Norman. They tried to get Avengers Towers back but the forcefield wouldn't let them. Thor tried to use his lightning along with Captain Marvel and Iron Man but the shield blocked it as thousands of drones came out and attacked the heroes, causing them to flee with their lives all while Viper launched an attack on the heroes Hydra who beginning to take over more parts of the city.

They eventually got intel that Otto is planning on taking over Queens, Y/N's hometown and with the numbers of criminals he freed from the Raft, not counting the villains who are alongside him, the We-Warriors couldn't even stop him. Natasha had infiltrated Otto's forces, barley escaping with her life after she was found out, but got the intel they needed.

With that intel, Tony showed him a display of the world, as it zeroes in on Latveria.

Tony: Doom is pissed. The Fantastic Four is fighting Carnage as the Inhumans are helping them. They made somewhat of a progress in stopping the battle, but they have not found his location yet. They don't even know where to start. They reported that Carnage is infecting people with his symbiote. There has been a spree of crimes and mass murders there, I'm not sure how much longer they can hold out.

Steve stares at Carnage as Tony swipes it away and brings out a hologram of Genosha.

Tony: Genosha is currently under attack by Otto's forces. The X-Men, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are helping Magneto fight off the forces. Thankfully, Y/N who was there, helped Magneto improve his defenses which is holding off the aircraft that are trying to get in, but even so, it will not hold and will be destroyed soon.

Tony then shows New York.

Tony: Things aren't going well in New York, either. Queens is getting more and more dangerous every passing day and every other city is under fire. We've established a perimeter five streets in every direction from the Baxter Building, but so have the other guys. We had to pull back when Electro showed up. He almost killed Silk, electrocuting her until her heart stopped. Otto has gone silent but from what we can gather from Natasha's work, he is planning on invading Queens. The real concern is Osborn. He was never really a stable guy, but now that he has actually gone round the bend, we have no idea what he is planning. AIM thinks his next step is taking Queens, just like Otto, and if that's so, they will be a civil war between the two.

Steve knew Osborn decided to fight people other than Spider-Man, the entire hero community had to come together to stop him. He was a genius but also a psychopath. It was impossible to know what he was thinking in that lunatic's mind. Now, they lost the only person who'd beaten him, time and time again, now this was going to be much harder.

Steve sighed massaging his head, he winches in pain as he had been stabbed by Scorpion.

Steve: We need to do something, Tony. We can't just sit here and wait.

Tony: What do you want us to do, Cap? We're outnumbered here, and Octavius is too smart, especially now that he has access to our files. Our biggest guns have contingency plans against them, because of the information we gathered. Reed and I are working on plans for some of theirs, but it is slowly going. They got some bright minds over there. Goes to show, how smart Y/N was, if he was able to routinely able to beat these guys again and again. Speaking of which, where the hell is Strange at nowadays? We could use his help.
