Omega, an Ultimate Spiderman and Heroes of Olympus crossover

Chapter Twenty-Two

Peter

We're defiantly feeling more confident today. We have a solid plan, and a backup plan. Though we don't have a second backup plan, so I hope we don't get to that.

Right now we're trying to find Omega so we can negotiate with them and hopefully recruit them. "I got them on the Upper East Side, it's Charm and Tempest," Luke says through our COMs.

"I got Inferno," Sam says.

"Archer and Mist," Ava says.

"Ghost and Huntress," Luke calls.

"And I just spotted Riptide and Intellect," I reply, "Follow them, and make sure you don't lose them."

"Ok," comes the simultaneous replies. I stealthily track the duo through the city. We end up near the wharf and they stopped. Soon, all their other teammates joined them, so I knew my team must be nearby.

"Everyone, stay where you are," I whisper into the COMs. I jump and land softly on the ground behind Omega.

Riptide turns around, "Look who finally decided to show themselves," he smirks.

"I've come to make a deal. No fighting, no arguing," I state.

"Ok, what's your offer," Intellect asks.

"A job with S.H.I.E.L.D., however this time you won't need to reveal your secret identities," I state.

"What will you do if we say no?" Intellect counters.

"Nothing," I reply smoothly.

"Really? No tracking us, no killing us? Fury must be really happy today!" Riptide exclaims sarcastically.

"You wish," I mutter.

"What would we do as part of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Intellect asks.

"Well you would do what you do now, except S.H.I.E.L.D. would conduct what you do and when, and you would also go on missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. and stuff," I try to explain.

"Could we join, then quit if we want to?" Intellect asks.

"There will probably be a lot of paperwork, but it might work," I say hope that Fury agrees with me.

"OK, we'll do it, on one condition," Riptide starts, "You don't know who we actually are, until we want to tell you. If you break that agreement, we'll tell the whole world who you are." Ok, Fury's not going to be able to get around that deal.

"Deal," I say sticking my hand out for a shake, "Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D." As soon as I say those words a Quinjet swoops down to pick us up, my team already inside. We all board and takeoff to the Helicarrier giving me a strange sense of déjà vu. When we arrive, Fury is waiting. He and Riptide glare at each other while everyone else exits the Quinjet.

"I see you came to your senses and decided to cooperate," Fury remarks.

"I'm not sure about cooperating, but we'll defiantly work together," Riptide smirks. Something about him is so familiar, I swear I must know his civilian identity but I just can place my finger on it.

"First thing we do to new recruits is test to see their abilities. Agent Coulson here will be assessing you," Fury says gesturing to our undercover principal. A quick look of recognition crosses Riptide and Intellect's faces before they start whispering with each other. They must recognize Coulson from the school, but how? They're probably too old to attend, and I think I would notice if one of my fellow classmates was missing school as much as I was. Now where could I know then from?
