The Young Avengers

A Run In

The constructs of the cops all began to charge the thief's gaining their attention. Quickly the four constructs quickly surrounded them lifting their guns. Most of the thief's seemed to freeze at the sight of the cops. However, one did not. He seemed to be slightly taller than the rest of them, more built as well. This man slowly stepped out of the center of the group making his way towards one of the cops. "Hey Webs, the cops are just constructs. If they try to attack them I'm not completely sure what will happen!" I whisper yelled into the comms.

"That doesn't matter. They're distracted, and it's given me time to web up the container without them seeing. Once they deal with the constructs that's when we will ambush them. Have the constructs begin an all out 'attack'. I will sneak over to you, and did you just call me Webs?" I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Yes I did Webs, and I'm on it!" I confirmed raising my hand up having the cops move in on them. The larger thief stopped for a second before pulling a pistol out raising it towards the first cop. Almost as quick as he pulled his firearm out he began to shoot through the construct. After three shots the cops body began to dissipate from where he stood. About the same time the other constructs were being shot at.

"They're all fakes! Someone is here!" The bigger guy yelled in a harsh raspy voice. Peter dropped down next to me leaning around the corner with the lenses on his costume dilated.

"I'm not getting any facial recognition on them. If we are going to stop them we are going to have to attack soon Wiccan." Peter informed me.

"Okay got it. What's the best game plan?" I asked him. He pulled away from the corner to face me before he shrugged and lept out from behind the container. "Spider-man?!" I whisper yelled, mostly to myself, as Peter webbed one of the thief's.

"How's it going boys? Nice night for a late night stroll isn't it?" I hear Peter ask the group of thief's. Of course he would try to come up with a one liner. I slowly step out from behind the corner and dramatically wave my cape. Using my telekinesis I made a heavy artificial wind to blow down the ally that we stood in drawing all the attention towards me.

"My apologies, didn't mean to wind up here. But now that I am it looks like I will have to blow you away!" I shouted lifting my hands towards them.

"Did the shortie just make two puns?" I heard one of the thugs ask. A few other had their hand to their face clearly annoyed by the puns. "I thought it was kind of funny." A different thief mumbled. Gaining a shut up from the rest of his group.

"Okay, yeah I'm done with one liners. Clearly I'm no good at them, but that is besides the point. We are here to put an end to this." I spat at the group.

"You two, against the seven of us? Doesn't seem like very good odds for you two." He chuckled. "Plus if my men can't take you out, I will with two hands tied behind my back." He grinned.

"Webs. You take the three in the back. I will take the rest, and after that, we take the big guy together!" I whispered into the comms.

"Got it Wiccan!" Peter shouted shooting a web at one of the thugs. Breaking their attention from me, giving me the opportunity to attack. Lifting my hand I imagine the static that coursed through my skin when I punched John. This time I pictured it leaving my hand, shooting towards the group. I opened my eyes' pushing my fist toward one of the thiefs the electricity shot out of my hand in a ball. The ball shot through the air hitting the thief with enough force to knock him off his feet.

"Bring it on!" I yelled slowly beginning to charge them. "You're all going down." I smiled cracking my knuckles. Running up to one of the thief's I swung my fist connecting with his face, electricity crackling as it transfers from me to him making his body fall to the floor and convulse after my taser punch. 

"Wow you're more powerful than I thought." The leader spoke walking towards me. "To think you might be more powerful than our boss."

"Who do you work for!" I yelled back at him.

"Oh wouldn't you like to know. Sadly I'm not allowed to mutter his name." He spoke through gritted teeth.

"Fine if that's how you want to act, I will just get rid of what you are trying to steal." I smiled lifting my hand focusing on the diamonds that are in the shipping container.

"What are you doing?" He growled clenching his fists. Closing my hand I pictured the diamonds appearing in the kitchen with a note.

"There, now there are no more diamonds." I smile back at him.

"Yeah right. Move out of the way!" He shouted as he pushed past the members of the group Peter was fighting. Getting to the door of the container he ripped the door off its hinges. "What?! What did you do with them?!" He shouted making his way towards me.

"I sent them to a safe place. A place impossible for you to get to." I smiled crossing my arms.

"You bastard!" He yelled making his way towards me. "That was the only way the boss would grant me a little power! You ruined it, so I will ruin you!" He shouted through a clenched jaw. He began to pick up his pace as he made his way towards me.

"Hey Spider-Man, can you slow him down a bit?"

"You bet!" Peter shouted as he swung around the leader and landing beside me. As soon as he landed he began to shoot webbing along the floor.

"You think this will stop me!" He shouted pushing through the fluid knocking over the few thieves that were left standing.

"I'm running out of web fluid Wiccan!" Peter yelled still trying to slow the rhino of a man. Frantically trying to think of something to stop him the world began to spin around me. Falling to the floor I look over to see Peter's web shooters begin to sputter and quit working. "No, no, no." I heard Peter mutter to himself as he smacked one of his web shooters. Slowly standing back up, catching my breath, I lean against Peter.

"We got the diamonds, we can leave now!" I whispered into his ear.

"We can't leave yet, he will get away!" Peter yelled as the man made his way closer to us. "I will not leave until we stop him."

"We won't ever be able to stop them if we don't survive Spidey!" I yelled back grabbing his shoulder.

"You two fight like a couple!" The built man smiled standing right in from of us. "That will be the downfall of you two one of these days." He spoke raising his hand in a fist ready to punch.

"We are not dating!" I yelled at him as he began to throw his punch.

"We may not be dating but we are partners!" Peter yelled catching his fist before it hit me. Twisting his fist Peter through the man to the side. "Fine Wiccan let's get out of here." Peter muttered grabbing my hand and dragging me with him. Looking back I could see the man standing back up, reaching over for something on the ground. Lifting the item up the glint of metal caught my eye.

"No!" I yelled lifting my hand up to guard Peter and I as the sound of a gun echoed.
