#➳ Kate & Peter; We could be heroes

[offeatherandbone]

@talesfromthevoiid​ sent in ““…Do we always end up on top of each other?” // from Peter to Kate lol”

“Basically, yeah.” Kate panted as she rested her weight on him, straddling his hips. She used the back of her hand to wipe the sweat off her brow. “I’m getting the feeling you like me on top.” She teased with a playful smirk. Training with Peter was always fun, though she knew he was definitely taking it easy on her. To be fair, only one of them had super strength.

Ultimates (2024) #1

OHMYGODDD Ultimates #1 was fantastic! I have so many thoughts that I had to turn it into a post lol.

Poor Steve 😂 I'm very interested to see Steve's journey, though, because he's now the captain of a country that doesn't exist. How is he going to navigate that? I'm also looking forward to Steve and Tony's dynamic in this universe because Tony's a kid, which changes things a lot. He's a kid with the burden of the world on his shoulders, trying to undo everything that the Maker did, and Steve knows that as well. Plus, if they know about all the events on Earth-616, they also know about Civil War. I hope it's brought into the conversation soon.

NOOO IS CAROL DEAD?? MY GIRL This is brutal as a Captain Marvel and Hawkeye fan. Spider-Man is thriving for now (surprising, I know), but Carol is probably dead, and Clint has given up being Hawkeye. But even Spider-Man was near rejection as Peter was thinking about giving up until his daughter convinced him to be Spider-Man. The Maker really fucked up this universe, huh. I'd love for a certain archer to find the uniform and take up the Hawkeye mantle and then Clint to get inspired by Kate in this universe. I think it'd be a fun twist, especially since Tony also mentioned that they can find near-perfect substitutes. He eventually realized his mistake later on the issue, but I really do think Kate could have a big role to play.

Hehe, a fun little wink to Tony eventually becoming Kang the Conquerer.

This version of Tony is so interesting to me because he’s a kid, and making him the center of all this works very well because of it, especially his relationships with Reed and Steve. Reed is more pragmatic and cold, while Steve is idealistic, and seeing both of them influence Tony is fantastic. Tony himself is more idealistic than his 616 version because he’s much younger. Steve grounds the two and makes Tony and Reed understand that whatever they're doing isn't an experiment but a revolution.

While I love all the other characters, the standout in this issue for me was Hank Pym, which I didn't expect. He knows what kind of person he turned to be on Earth-616 and he doesn't want to turn out that way. I think that's a very compelling story arc.

Ahh, I love this. What Steve says is right; Hank can choose to be different. It's also interesting if we compare Peter and Hank because, in Ultimate Spider-Man, we're told that Peter always felt that something was missing from his life, and then he learned the truth about what the Maker did and became Spider-Man, which fulfilled his life. On the other hand, Hank was happy running an extermination business with his wife. (How Janet went from rich heiress to this is also something I'm wondering). Hank was happy, but now he's being told he was supposed to become Ant-Man, create Ultron, and hit his wife, whom he loves more than anything. I felt bad for him, honestly.

616 Tony should say this to his father, too lol. But this part is probably my favorite part of the issue because of the insight it gives us into Tony's mind, who is the center of the new Ultimate universe. As I've mentioned many times, Tony is a teenager in a world run by fascists, a world that his father was complicit in making. He's angry at Howard, but he also loves him. I think an argument could be made about Tony representing today's generation that's also dealing with the effects of (poor) decisions made by our parents and grandparents, and feeling the anger from it. "It's quite a mess you made, Dad. And now we have to clean it up. What choice do we have?" "If there's any hope of fixing things...it won't be enough to be as good as the heroes of that simpler world. We'll have to be better. I don't know what that looks like yet. But we're going to figure it out." "You were the smartest man in the world. You should've known better. And that is failure.”

Chapter Four | Serie Masterlist | Chapter Six

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

[Earth 717]

Silence was drowning out the entire complex. Wanda and Natasha didn't leave your bedroom; they spent almost all their time crying. Your aunts were not better. Kate tried to keep the team together while Yelena was pacing on the rooftop.

All the avengers were deadly silent. The only noises that could be heard came from Morgan's lab, where she was trying everything and checking the same data for god knows how long. After your moms and America came back, it was like time had stopped.

Tony was about to see his daughter when a portal in a wall caught his attention. Doctor Strange was finally back, and with him a little hope. It didn't take more than five to gather everyone in the meeting room, where Peter and America explained everything to the sorcerer.

Strange always told you to be careful around people who manipulate the time, and of course, usually, he would be a little angry that you took a big risk like that, but not today.

"How can I help you?" He asked.

"Actually, we don't know. We tried everything, but nothing seemed to work." America said.

The magician was intensely thinking before something came to his mind. "I think I have an idea. I can't promise that it will work, and if so, I don't know if it will help, but at least we will know if something bad happens to little Maximoff." Now every gaze was on him, wating for his idea. "But first we need to go somewhere else." He finished his sentence before opening a portal to Kamar-Taj.

The heroes were following him, a little unsure of what was on his mind. Once they reached a spacious place, he sat down.

"I'll need America, Wanda, and maybe Peter and little Stark." He said while he crossed his legs and waited for them to sit with him. Once everyone was ready, he started to explain his plan. "So, we know how much Y/n is usually connected with Wanda, and we also know that she's not in this universe anymore, which is why I need you," he said, referring to America.

"And why us?" Peter asked.

"You were among the last ones who were the Y/n when she disappeared, so you still have a fresh memory of her. I'll use my power to mentally teleport us back to the accident, and then with Wanda and Y/n's connection and America, we should be able to track her more efficaciously in the multiverse."

Everyone held their breath while a mix of orange and green auras started to cover the group. The memory of the incident started to play in front of everyone. They all looked at that until the moment. You were approaching Khrono after he pinned America against a wall. You lifted your knife, and when you were about to throw it, everything froze.

"Strange, something is wrong with America." Natasha said.

The brunette had her eyes totally shining, but not like when she used her power; it was different. It felt like she didn't control what she was doing. Wanda tried to reach her, but she could not do anything. The younger woman collapsed on the ground.

[Earth 616]

Fury was leaving your room before seeing Maria Hill and Dr. Cho.

"Sir, you made two big discoveries; you need to see that." The doctor said and gave him an iPad while they made their way to his office.

"What is this?" The man asked.

"Scarlet's genetic code." Maria said while they entered the room. "Don't you see something strange?" she asked before showing the same thing on a big screen.

In front of the man's blank face, Cho started to talk. "I analyzed her DNA like you asked. I found two interesting things in her DNA. First the most obvious one," she typed on some bouton on the tablet, and two other genetics were now surrounding yours, "her DNA is the exact same as Wanda Maximoff and Natasha Romanoff. It's like…"

"It's like she's their biological mother." Fury said, and Maria nodded.

"But's that not the only weird thing; look at this," the doctor said before showing the genetic code of every Avenger. "Don't you see something different?" she asked him, and when he shook his head, she started again. "I don't know how to say that, it should be impossible, but there is no trace of any male DNA in hers."

"What do you mean?" the man asked, visibly curious and surprised.

"Usally, when two people decide to have a kid, there should be some trace of both genders DNA in their kid's DNA, whatever the gender." Maria said this time. "Even when a couple decides to go through IVF. But she doesn't. At first, we thought that her dad was someone who wasn't registered in the SHIELD or SWORD data base, but even if we compare with the international data bank, we have no match."

"It doesn't look special like that, but it's impossible even for us or any organization to do something like that. So we exclude Hydra and the Red Room from the list of potential places that she's from." Cho said.

"For a moment, we thought that she might be from another planet, but according to the data that Carol Danvers sent us, there is only one type of alien who can reproduce like that, but their DNA is closer to snail than human." Maria explained.

Fury was staring at the screen, totally unsure of what to say.

"Oh, and before we leave, I need to show you that." The doctor changed the screen. "This is a scan of Scarlet's power; at first, it's okay, but if we look closely, we can see some inconsistent gaps in her energy."

"Which means?" Maria asked this time.

"Two option. Option one, and maybe the most accurate, is that she's losing control over her power, which can explain why she almost kills Sam and the others while she seems totally non-aggressive toward them. And two, even if it's maybe the most crazy one, is that she may be slowly losing her power. The spider boy told me that he saw her falling from the sky just after a red aura around her disappeared." The doctor explained.

"Well, that's more than I imagined. Don't let anyone know about that. Not yet." Fury said, and the two women nodded before leaving the room.

~~~~

Peter was on his phone while a portal opened in his apartment. "Hey, America. What are you doing here?" He asked the young brunette.

"Peter, I think I just found something weird." She replied. "I was curious, so I traveled through the multiverse to find this girl; you know, to try to learn more about her. But there is my probleme I--" She couldn't finish before feeling a big headache.

"America!" Peter caught her before her body hit the floor. "Hey, America, wake up! What should I do? I can't go to see the avenger; I can't—Strange, I need to call Doctor Strange." He picked up America's body and gently laid her on his couch before grabbing his phone.

~~~~

You were staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out what happened, before you heard the door open again. This time, you sat up immediately and stared at the woman in front of you.

"I bet you didn't see that coming, right?" Wanda said before taking a chair and sitting in front of your bed. She stayed like that, saying nothing, just analizing you. "They didn't lie when they said you looked like me and Natasha."

"What are you doing here?" You asked.

"I can ask you the same question." She shrugged. When you didn't talk, she said. "Actually, I saw your fight; you're pretty good, even if you still have some things to learn."

"What do you want?"

"Me, nothing. But you, what do you want, Scarlet?" She smirked. "That's a pretty good name, no? I love scarlet; it's the same color as our power. And even more crazy, it's sound like Scarlet Witch." Her expression suddenly became more dark, and she stared at you. "Now come on, tell me, who are you, Scarlet?"

[ricks-fallen-angel]

So instead of just lumping all the of the young MCU heroes together into the young avengers (bad, incorrect idea) I have a proposal (good, correct idea open to suggestions):

1. A Champions mini series of 6 or 8 episodes consisting of Ms Marvel and Peter Parker (I know he’s not a champion in the comics but we need to do something with him and the group could use an older “authority” figure [aka college kid keeping track of the babies]). As new characters we introduce Nova and Miles Morales. They fight a minor villain and come together as a team, end the series with the looming threat of Kang

2. A Young Avengers mini series of 6 or 8 episodes consisting of Eli, Billy, Tommy, Cassie and Kate (again as the college kid pay for/keeping track of things). As a new character we introduce Teddy (finally). They fight a minor villain and come together as a team. Towards the end Nathanial Richards shows up begging for help in the fight against Kang

3. Avengers Next Generation (insert better movie title here) both teams are trying to track down Kang. The Champions are lead to the Young Avengers by mistake(?!) they VERY BRIEFLY think they're on opposite sides but by the 30 minute mark without much damage they realize they're on the same side. Peter makes a quip about them working out the issues without destroying an airport. They fight Kang, its is revealed that Nathanial is the younger version of Kang and formed the team to stop him future self (the Champion's source leading the Young Avengers was right all along!) They beat Kang (maybe Nathanial kills him?) but Nathanial goes into a rage in the process leading him down the path to becoming Kang

The End

(please add your suggestions and adjustments)

[loganwritesprobably]

Just mentioned this in dms w someone but I wanted to put it out into the world

Monkey D. Luffy is what Scott could've been

Now hear me out! I like Scott. I like him a lot as a protagonist. But when I first started one piece after being hyperfixated on Teen Wolf for like a year and a half I just thought "oh, this is how that type of character is supposed to be"

Luffy isn't perfect and he is never portrayed as it, and he actively has flaws that he acknowledges. He does good for selfish reasons, and he does it in the name of his primary goal. He actively denounces the title of hero and feels no obligation to anyone except his people.

Scott could've been like him. Scott could've felt obligation only to those in his own circle. Scott could've been put on less of a pedestal. Scott could've had a moral code we could actually support that made sense ("we don't kill" except Peter.. and Kate.. and nearly Gerard). Scott could've had a clear cut goal other than "survive".

It's been a while since I've revisited Teen Wolf canon so if I'm vague or you're confused, take what I've said with a pinch of salt. There's also a certain amount of fandom to be blamed for some of Scott's less likable traits that are perpetuated.

But my point stands

[buckybarnesss]

on fire: a teen wolf novel chapters 10-13 chapters 7-9 here chapters 4-6 here chapters 1-3 here

after a little break i am back with a new installment i'm doing 4 chapters today because this book only has 19 chapters.

once again: kate argent is her own warning.. there's an entire flashback chapter of her and derek when he was a teenager. she explicitly grooms him.

Our intrepid heroes are still in the goddamn woods. We shall never leave. Allison is cold and so Scott snuggles with her to share body heat. Classic trope but I have read many missing persons cases. Hypothermia can happen even when you don’t think it can. 

And we have yet another example of Derek being characterized as kind of a dick. He and Stiles find a campfire as Derek tries to track the scent of the Alpha and/or locate Scott. Stiles is just having a bad time as he’s winded from trying to keep up with Derek. Derek leaves him there. I reject this. No. Derek never left Stiles anywhere like this. Especially not with danger afoot. It very much stands in contrast to Wolf’s Bane when Derek crawls over broken glass and fights Peter, distracting him from Stiles.

The Queen has finally arrived. We finally get some Lydia narration. She also comes with Danny and some random dude Damon. 

It had been kind of annoying Danny hasn’t been involved that much considering he is Jackson’s best friend.

Have I mentioned that I don’t particularly care for how Danny is handled in this book? First you have Stiles assuming they should send Danny to the pay-by-the-hour motel because he’s gay and now Lydia’s narration is stereotyping the poor guy. “Dark-haired, with that cool Hawaiian vibe he had.” Danny was right to leave y'all.

Danny says he doesn’t have Lydia’s phone number which I sincerely doubt. 

I want to throw hands with this line “He gave her a completely non-sexual once over.” It’s giving gay-best friend trope vibes which to be fair was at its height in the 2010s and let’s face it this is how Lydia was often written pre-character development (and even after). Especially in the Sterek fandom. Don’t y’all try to tell me otherwise. I was there, Gandalf. 

There is this little section of Lydia’s I think deserves some commentary. The way this book has a subplot for Allison and Scott revolving around how they want to sleep together and the way Jackson and Lydia think of their relationship, especially their sexual relationship is interesting. Now, I’m no pearl clutching Puritan on this subject but the way that sex is handled in this narrative strikes me as too adult for their age. But this passage makes me change my perspective a little. These are kids acting too adult because they feel pressured in other areas of their lives to be adults without the experience and emotional capacity to do so. That fits in with Teen Wolf’s narrative. 

“Are you going through his stuff?” Danny queried, and she have him her best patronizing look, “Please,” She said, “You must know that I have a drawer here.” Damon looked even more impressed. Very few teenagers could claim the very adult perk of having a drawer containing their belongings at their boy -- or girlfriend’s house. Not that many teenagers had the need. It spoke of changing clothes, spending the night. Adult stuff.  Sex.”

Jackson’s computer wallpaper is Lydia which is sweet but then she says she picked it out herself which is less sweet. 

Jackson’s computer password is fucking Captain. You deserve to be hacked, Jackson.

Now Lydia brought Danny and his hanger on Damon from her house to Jackson’s because they’re looking for a CD Jackson apparently burned for Damon to use to DJ for a party. The 2010s of it all came out and kneed me in the solar plexus. Even Lydia was wondering why Jackson didn’t just make a shared playlist. But she searches through Jackson’s stuff stalling a little so she can snoop. This is all important because we finally get to the actual plot of why Jackson was lured away and missing in the first place. People want to rob the Whittermore’s while they’re out of town. Jackson at this point is still being held at gunpoint over in the preserve. 

The would be robbers -- henceforth referred to as Thing One and Thing Two -- assault Lydia and threaten her demanding to know if there are other people in the house. Lydia truly gets a raw deal no matter what.

Meanwhile, Derek’s left Stiles and is trying to follow the scene of the Alpha. He uses the word “shedding” to refer to how he left Stiles. I cannot impress enough how he would not fucking say that.

Derek’s out of luck though because the scent he comes across is old. He is at the place he found Laura’s body where he has a Moment of Anger before he moves on he picks up on Jackson’s scent. He recalls how he dug his claws into Jackson back in Magic Bullet and feels a tiny bit bad. He finds a half burned article about Jackson and does what I deem a Derek thing to do and that’s pocket it because he’s “keeping tabs on Jackson”. It’s stalking, Derek.

Narration switches back to Stiles and of course he gets weird quickly and Stiles what the fuck? Stiles doing something like this during the later seasons wouldn’t be out of the norm. He’s paranoid, hyper vigilant and suspicious at that point but here? Season 1? Stalker.

“He had tried calling Scott a couple more times, then Allison, then Lydia. He’d had her phone in his possession when he deleted the picture she’d accidentally taken of the Alpha. Of course he’d also inputted her number into his own phone; how stalkerish was that?”

Derek reappears and scares Stiles. Stiles observes “He was kind of sweaty, and he looked glummer than usual.” Stiles refuses to be normal about Derek. 

They have a little tiff except it’s them being worried about the same thing but in opposite directions. 

“Stiles crossed his arms and hunched over, shivering and trying to make himself inconspicuous, in cast the Alpha spotted Derek and decided to attack him. But Derek was a Beta werewolf too, like Scott. Why wasn’t he part of the Alpha’s pack? Maybe he is. Maybe he just hasn’t told us, he thought. “Or maybe it’s some kind of trap,” Derek said, “Something the Argents cooked up.” “You mean that Allison’s in on it?” Stiles asked, sounding incredulous.  Derek slid a glance at him. “Why do you sound so surprised? You know what the Argents are. What they do.``

And so we have arrived. The part of this book I remember the most. The Derek Hale Flashbacks. We go six years into the past. 

This is definitely where the idea of Kate Argent working at Beacon Hills High comes from and it makes a lot of sense. It even works even better given the context of season 2 where the Argents actually infiltrate the school as a tactic. 

Holder puts Derek on the swim team which is funny in retrospect because of how the swim team is important to the story of season 2 but Derek is established in season 3 as having been on the basketball team like Peter.

Holder also does a little world building on werewolf customs and pack dynamics here which the show lacks in detail. The way Holder does it is far more patriarchal than what the Hales actually are in the show. There’s a focus on Derek’s father (unnamed even here), the contest/rivalry between him and his cousin Josh, entrance into manhood and Uncle Peter. 

I am still deeply amused by Holder making the Beast of Gevaudan an ancestor of the Hales when the show took the route of making it far more deeply connected to the Argents.

The deepest of sighs at this : “Unlike Laura, who was popular, he didn’t have any human friends, and he didn’t want any.” I just have the hardest time with isolationist, anti-human Derek. Season 3 Derek called and told Book Derek to fuck himself. Derek had a posse of generic human friends.

Kate preys on Derek while she fills in for the main coach as he’s on paternity leave. Also Kate’s up here just brassily using her actual name.

Like Derek’s about 16 here so I can easily buy him noticing a pretty young woman in close proximity to him but Holder does a good job in making it clear that while Derek’s attracted to Kate superficially her interest in him makes him uncomfortable. Derek’s narration says things like “Flustered, even a little frightened.” and “He practically ran out of the school, looking over his shoulder.”

Holder then parallels Scott and Allison once more which is a, um, choice by describing Kate’s hair in the moonlight and Derek almost wolfing out. 

Apparently Laura and Derek shared a Subaru Forester. Which Hale lesbian bought this?

Now up until this point I’ve mostly avoided talking about Laura and her presence in this book because I was saving it for this scene. Laura Hale is a ghost in the narrative in the show. She’s seen maybe three different times outside of being a corpse. She’s never actually named in any of those short appearances and no one talks about her. Here she’s mentioned several times by Scott, Stiles and Derek. Plus now she’s shown in Derek’s flashbacks. I don’t like her all that much here and I think this might be where some of Laura’s fanon characterization comes from. 

Anyway, Derek and Laura are at a diner together eating hamburgers. Derek drinks Diet Coke. Look, I don’t see him as a Diet Coke drinker but that’s not the point here. Derek mentions Kate and how he thinks she’s so beautiful. Laura has this moment where she seems concerned:

“Is this...woman a student?” Laura asked. “No. She’s the new lifeguard. Ms. Argent.” Mr. Braswell’s replacement.” “School lifeguard?” she said, looking mildly shocked. “A teacher?”

After this though Laura’s characterization takes a nosedive. She refers to Kate as a slut when at this point in time Kate hasn’t really done anything necessarily wrong. Derek only really tells Laura of thinking she’s pretty. Laura’s never even met her.

She goes on to tease Derek about his crush -- the word mateable is used 🤮 -- and Derek shuts down. “Suddenly, he didn’t feel like talking to her about it anymore.”

I hate it here.

The next scene is another flashback I recall vividly. Melissa and baby Scott being abused by Mr. McCall. This fuckface trying to convince Scott that his asthma attack isn’t real and it’s all in his head. I want this man to die. Interesting that later when Rafael McCall is introduced he’s still The Worst.

Catch these hands. “Scott didn’t want him to yell at his mom because Scott had asthma. It wasn’t her fault. It was his, Scott’s.” 

If Melissa McCall had killed him no would have charged her. 

Back in the present we return to Scott and Allison. They’re still cuddling but realize they’re supposed to be looking for Allison’s keys. Her phone rings and they have a mishap which sends Allison down the incline. She takes him with her.

They recover but Allison has now lost her keys and phone. Bad day all around for Ally A.

Scott finds Allison’s phone using his wolf powers but he can’t let her know that so they use his phone to call hers. 

Her ringtone for him is apparently a band called Kids of 88. I had never heard of them so after a quick search their biggest hit was in 2009 My House. Which again -- sex.

Scott went to get her phone but he’s prevented by an invisible barrier. Wolfsbane. He makes up a lie about his leg being hurt because like how else do you explain not being able to touch a bush?

They sit down and Scott’s having thoughts like “Oh I wish Derek were here” so you know it’s not great. Allison talks a little about how she’s close to her parents.

They are fucking kissing again. Stop it. It’s not the time. 

Scott decides to text Stiles and says Stiles knows his username and password. We all know. It’s the ever iconic Allison. Jackson and Scott truly deserve each other.

I forgot Jackson was still being held at gunpoint while all this has been going on.

Jackson makes an attempt to escape but yet another guy is waiting at the Porsche. How many people are there? Two here, Cassie probably and then the two at the house. So 5 people in total it appears. Geez. 

His escape fails and he’s taken hostage. Jackson never has a good time. 

All of Chapter 13 is Kate and Derek. Shall we brace ourselves?

“One by one the other swimmers left, and he’d remained behind, torn between disappointment that she hadn’t done it again, and complete and utter relief that she was staying away from him.” Holder writes young Derek having the instinct to know Kate’s attention isn’t good.

Now Holder does do some interesting bits of worldbuilding but like I said earlier it seems so patriarchal. Surrounding challenges and fighting. His view of humans in the book is one of paternalism. 

Kate is going in for the kill now and I’m crawling up my own spine. She makes herself come across as demure. She’s playing meek and turning the whole thing back on Derek giving him the illusion of choice as she grooms him. She purposefully is coming across as more of a peer than an adult figure with authority. 

“She swirled her fingers in the water. “And this isn’t really my style, you know?” I don’t come onto men like this.” Men. She thought of him as a man. He licked his lips, completely tongue-tied. “I wish you’d say something,” she murmured. “I’m kind of dying about it now. I’m sorry if I misread your intentions. I won’t bother you again.” “I know we’d have to be careful. Outsiders might not understand.”

Excuse me. Earlier Derek mentioned his rival -- his cousin Josh -- apparently Peter’s sister-in-law’s kid. Here he mentions Laura had made out with Josh the previous Wolf Moon. Did Laura make out with their cousin?!?!?!?!?!? There’s no other Josh in this book. Like I get they’re not blood related if Josh is Peter’s sister-in-law’s kid (which lol okay bro) but what is happening here on this day?

Kate wants Derek to come home with her for privacy -- ew. So Derek calls Laura to negotiate. Hence the whole conversation about Laura making out with cousin Josh. Laura says “This is so you can do something slutty.” I deeply dislike this characterization of Laura.

And now we’re in Kate’s narration for the flashbacks. I need a shower after reading her thoughts. God, I hate Kate.

Holder goes into detail about her ideas on werewolves. It’s interesting. There’s competition for rank within the pack, challenges and rituals. I want to do a post specifically about it maybe, but I am offended on Talia Hale’s behalf here. It’s very focused on males. The automatic assumption that the Alpha is Derek’s father.

 I cannot say fuck Kate enough. “Some kids in high school are babies and others are all grown up, ready for the real world. Like you.” The classic manipulation tactic of oh but you’re so mature for your age or oh they’re such an old soul. 

Wishing Kate Argent a go ahead and die.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Review

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️SPOILERS BELOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

This is not a simple review. It will contain specifics and loud opinions.

———-

I just need to start this off by saying that I fucking love Hobie. He is definitely one of the best parts of the movie. I am so happy that the rumor I heard about Hobie liking Gwen and creating a “love triangle” was not true. I very much dislike “love triangles.” I was screaming the entire time Hobie was on screen. He’s an anarchy genius.

Pavitr is the sweetest lil bean. It was such a relief seeing a happy Spider-Man. I really loved seeing Indian culture represented in a simple everyday way.

The Morales family is amazing and I only want the best for them. Mr. and Mrs. Morales are trying hard to be good parents and it shows.

Peter B. Parker what the hell are you thinking bringing a child into a violent fight?? I can sort of forgive the first one but then lying to MJ about it. You were literally carrying MayDay in a bjorn on a bullet train going skyward. I understand that you want Miles to see MayDay and see the good he brought you but a violent environment is not the time or place.

Speaking of bad parenting, Gwen’s father is an immature ass. When Gwen said, “You’re a good cop, Dad.” I wanted her to follow it up with, “but not a good father.” Why can’t superheroes condemn their parents?

Superhero movies don’t allow characters to hold their parents accountable because they’re objectively made for children to enjoy and children aren’t meant to question or judge their parents. When a parent missteps the child is required to meet the parent where they stand by accepting that everything was done out of love. How the child feels and how the slight effected them isn’t discussed. Marvel did this with Howard and Tony as well as Odin, Loki, and Thor. It’s insane that Sony and Marvel deny children seeing their heroes protect themselves and set boundaries with the people who are supposed to care for them above all others.

Miles is truly a King. He’s better than all those other spider-people and right now I don’t think they deserve the good he’s gonna bring them.

I’m not the biggest fan of Gwen’s actions or the romance between her and Miles. I would have preferred to see Tiana Toomes with Miles but Miles does go the furthest with Gwen out of all his girlfriends, opinions can be made as to why that is, so Gwen and Miles makes sense. I feel that their relationship is still in the crush stages and after her betrayal it could be the end of it. Maybe we could see Tiana, Kate, or someone else in the future.

I’m sure Miles is going to forgive Peter and Gwen but I at least want him to make them sweat more or for them to admit in full why they betrayed him. In order for Sony and Marvel to stop showing their audiences that unconditional forgiveness is required characters need to communicate and reach an understanding that isn’t one person deciding to be the bigger person, especially the child.

It’s fascinating to me that spider-people are so willing to rationalize their losses that they will all follow Miguel when he is clearly wrong.

Miguel that world fell apart because you were in it not because a canon event didn’t happen. Canon events, termed by Miguel, are just common themes that have/will lead to similar events because of course they will. Someone not dying in one instance is not the same as someone making roots in a universe that is not their own. The universe is resilient and it will correct itself. If a person’s death is more important than their survival then don’t worry the universe will make sure that they die.

Unlike the spider-heroes who are rationalizing their loss via acceptance, Spot is resorting to anger. He’s just focusing on the brightest string, like the Maximoffs did with Tony.

I found Miguel’s theory of Miles being an anomaly to be interesting. As I previously stated the universe will only go along with things it agrees with, Miguel learned this lesson pretty traumatically, so I believe that 1610 Peter was going to die that night. And if spider-42 hadn’t been brought to universe-1610 then there wouldn’t be a Spider-Man in 1610. So I think that the universe agreed that 1610 Miles is meant to be Spider-Man. I mean as we have seen multiple times in Across alone, Miles is a good force in every universe. I’m wondering if in 42 Prowler Miles is considered an anti-hero instead of a villain. I mean it’s more likely that they will go with the storyline of Miles meeting the evil him to strengthen his own morals, reminiscent of Billy. But I think I’d prefer the first storyline. It fits the narrative of “fuck canon/the box you want me in.” Also does Miguel just not care about universes without Spider-Man because he could have figured out a way to save 42 if he wanted? I’m so excited to see what happens with 42 Prowler and the final fight.

Absolutely loved all the cameos. All the spiders were perfectly done. Someone correct me if I’m wrong (pls pls send me screen grabs) but I didn’t see 199999 Peter in the holograms. Miguel mentions him in a derogatory way but that’s it. I might be reaching since 199999 Peter is my favorite but I think this is because Miguel groups Miles and Peter together. Miguel is okay with not saving everyone which is something Miles and 199999 Peter refuse to do. 199999 Peter’s main motto is “If you have the power to stop the bad things from happening and they happen anyway then they happened because of you.” Honestly, Peter holds himself to this way to tightly but Miguel does the exact opposite. He doesn’t even try to help people and then absolves himself from guilt. Peter literally almost destroyed the multiverse trying to help people and then lost everything fixing it, again Miguel did the opposite.

My final thoughts about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are fuck Miguel, I’m disappointed that so many spider-heroes would want to rationalize their trauma so bad that they would intentionally hurt one of their own, and of course the animation is breathtaking. Can’t wait for Beyond the Spider-Verse!

ps. I saw a tweet where someone said they want RiRi to get the Miles treatment and I totally agree. I would die to see RiRi Williams in 2D animation! She’s phenomenal with a great story, plus we’d get a young Tony Stark in 2D. RDJ would voice him no question. We’d be winning winning.

Ok so I watched She-Hulk and I gotta say I don't understand why people hate it! Like yeah the cgi is...something and maybe the lawyering could be better but it's MCU.

I saw a guy on tiktok say that he thought the jokes fell flat and that it was stupid how they weren't making her serious. But like why does the MCU have to be serious all the time, comics arnt! Plus I think their falling flat for some people because we are used to seeing the hero side of the MCU. The first 1-2 phases of the MCU were focused on the hero but now new projects we're seeing more civilians. Jen isn't an Avenger, she's not in the military, she a civilian (so were Peter, Kamala, Shang-Chi and Kate) so we're seeing their view of the world. The MCU is stupid and crazy and has a different normal to us. Shape shifting Elves are a Monday to them, So are people who have powers, portals opening in front of you, and the sky suddenly being messed up. I love seeing the civilian pov, "yes that guy in red and blue spandex just jumped off a building BUT I have to get to my 9-5 and it's really inconvenient that the road is closed because alien tec was found in a building" Like that's funny af!

'I got it! I got it!!!!'

Pairings - Avengers x platonic!gn!Reader, Steve Rogers x Reader

Summary - It is team bonding time! This time the avengers are playing cricket on a Sunday afternoon. Just some fun and chaotic times. And somehow you ended up on a date with Steve.

Warnings - swear words, reader is 25/26 years old, the reader ogling steve (and bucky, like once), steve kinda ogling reader😉, reader takes their top off (girls don't worry, you can imagine them with a tank top on underneath), reader's got some rizz, descriptions of a broken nose?, no they do not end up kissing.

sidenote - if you're reading this as a guy and are not into guys, i apologize cause the reader and steve act flirty w/ each other in this. you may very well skip this fic if you wish.

It was a warm afternoon. The kind that either made you want to cozy up in bed for hours or go for a walk outside, each option depending on person to person. Although you wanted to do the former, Steve and Tony decided it was perfect weather to spend some team bonding time.

Even though the sun was out, and you wanted to stay in, you soon forgot about all your earlier protests of it being too hot and you wanting to finish a book you were reading, when the playing actually started, and your slight competitive nature came out.

So here you were, 45 minutes into the game, covered completely in sweat but still having the time of your life. It was probably no surprise when the two teams formed were namely Team Cap and Team Ironman. When you heard the names the teams you face-palmed yourself, but then again it was Tony who suggested the names.

Under team Cap came of course the Captain himself, Steve 'America's Ass' Rogers, the most likely vice-captain, Sam Wilson, the one who was forced to play to get 'social time', Mr. Bucky Barnes, the one who was excited to play because she played it with her brother and their friends when they were younger, Wanda Maximoff, the one who was excited just to be included in team bonding, Kate 'Clumsy' Bishop, the one who was over-the-top joyful to be there, Thor Odinson, and the little one who wanted to join his mom, Billy 'Mama's boy' Maximoff.

Under team Ironman was the self-proclaimed captain, Tony 'Showoff' Stark, the levelheaded one who is actually the captain, Natasha Romanoff, the one who doesn't know what to do but will gladly join for the fun, Vision, the one who is excited for no apparent reason, Peter 'I will not fail you Mr. Stark' Parker, the one who will be kicked off the team if he uses his powers, Pietro Maximoff, the other little one who wanted to play with his dad and (real) uncle, Tommy 'I'm the faster twin' Maximoff, and the one who would've preferred to stay inside but was dragged to play, one Y/N Y/L/N.

Playing the role of the umpire to this game was Rhodey, and bless this man's soul of being able to have patience with the Earth's Rowdiest Mightiest Heros, cause the game was just chaos entirely.

Team Ironman was batting first. The first ones up were Peter and Vision. "Remember keep a firm grip on the bat! We don't want it flying like last time!" Tony was yelling from the sidelines as Peter was readjusting the bat in his grip. At the same time Tommy was cheering on his dad with a "You got this dad! We can beat mom's team!" which was honestly really cute.

Where normal matches would've had 20 overs, the Avengers decided on having just 10. After confirming Peter was ready, Sam took a bit of a running start before throwing the ball. Keeping his eye trained on the ball Peter swung his bat hard, only to have it be flung over 25 yards (roughly 22 meters) from his hands. Just as Peter's hands immediately go to cover his face in embarrassment, Tony's hand ran down his face in frustration. "This is just what I told you not to do kid," Tony said while shaking his head, then turning to look at you he said, "Can you believe this kid?" "Nope, but you still love him" you responded.

"That I do"

Once Wanda returned the bat to Peter, the game resumed, and this time Peter actually held on to the bat and hit the ball scoring a 4. Nice. After another hit done by Peter, it was Vision's turn. He turned out to be surprisingly good at this game despite it being his very first time. Two balls later and Peter was out. Next came in Tommy and to make it a little easier for him to hit the ball it was Billy who would be throwing them for his twin. It was adorable watching the kids play along with their father like that. A sight like this was rare at the Avengers Compound lately. But sadly, Tommy too got out and had to leave. Next up was you along with Vision, who was surprisingly holding his own pretty well.

After promising Tony for the 100th time that the bat would not fling out of your grasp, you finally got to play. Your start was not that strong, but after a couple of balls you were getting better. Because you and Vis were both good players, Rhodey agreed to give you a tougher bowler. So instead of having Kate bowl, it was now Steve. And good god was this man frustratingly good at cricket. He was really making it hard for the two of you.

"Hey Rogers, mind making it easier for us here? It's kinda hard to hit a ball with you throwing it so fast," you said after completing a run.

"Kinda the entire point of me throwing them, sweetheart. Kate was making it easy for you." damn Steve and his constant use of nicknames. OK WE'RE GOING OFF TRACK. Steve took his stance again and began jogging. Your eyes followed his thighs as he stood and started jogging towards you...putting it plainly you were distracted. He threw the ball, which came hurling at you at lightning speed. You somehow managed to hit it, only for Kate, out of all of them, to catch it mid-air. Sighing in defeat, you made your way back to the bleachers handing the bat over to Pietro.

"You did good kid. Out of all of them, I think you've played the best." Tony said pulling you into a side-hug.

"Really?". Tony nods his head.

"You're on my team, and let's be honest, a Stark's choices tend to be the best."

"Next thing you know, Morgan will be using that when she brings a boy over," you say with a chuckle. To which Tony replies, "There's still time for that, she's not growing up that quick." he said more to himself that anyone. You nodded your head, stifling a laugh while Tony brought you in for a side hug. "Looks like Maximoff's out. Red, you're up."

It was now down to their last two players. Nat went up to the pitch that had been created by pulling out the grass. You see, when it's the Avengers playing, they don't care about safety equipment. Only the two kids were wearing knee pads and a helmet. But other than that, nobody was wearing something that would protect themselves. And that would make a clear path for some accidents to make themselves home.

Thor was bowling when Nat joined. "Alright, let's do this!" he exclaimed with a lot of enthusiasm. First missed red flag. Thor insisted on not doing what he called the 'pathetic little run'. He said he'd be fine without it. He took his place while Nat took her stance holding a bat that was a bit too heavy for her. It was meant to be used only by Peter, as he was physically stronger than the others on his team

Second missed red flag.

Thor threw the ball. Nat swung her bat hitting the ball, but not without hurting her wrist with the weight of the bat. But being the trained ex-assassin that she is, her face remained neutral. Hence why no one could tell she was in pain and continued the game.

After completing 2 runs Nat took her stance again. Thor was holding the ball in his hand, tossing it and catching it. When the average person plays cricket, they would normally use either a rubber ball or a much softer yellow tennis ball. But the Avengers are not normal. When Tony ordered the kit online, he didn't realize that he ordered the Season Kit. THIRD MISSED RED FLAG!

The ball that Thor was playing around with was a season ball, a ball much heavier than a rubber ball and much harder than a tennis ball. And in all his excitement, he one: got too into the game and two: forgot to check whether Nat was ready.

She wasn't.

He threw the ball at her without warning. She was not expecting it and it hit her in the face, hard. So now not only was Nat's wrist injured, but she almost definitely had a broken nose. When her wrist got injured, she acted as if nothing happened. But when the ball made contact with her face a loud squeal was heard from her.

Because of how rare it is to hear such a sound come from the world-famous widow, almost everyone ran to her the second her hands flew to her face. Tony's 'we are gonna win' smirk dropped from his face and his legs started moving forward.

"Ow. Tony what the hell is that ball made of?" Nat yelled when she saw him, sending him a terrifying glare. Rushing towards Nat, you knelt down in front of her. Her hands and face were coated in blood. Everyone crowded around her while Peter took the bat from her. You had already taken your t-shirt off and started wiping the blood from her hands and face. Steve had come back with an ice pack.

Now, the team has seen you without a top on countless occasions. So did Steve. But that didn't stop him from staring at you, his jaw slightly dropped. Maybe because your muscles became more defined since the last time he saw you shirtless. You, of course, didn't notice it since your focus was on Nat.

"Thanks y/n/n" she said, sounding very nasally. Her nose really was broken. "Can someone get me to the bleachers?" Before you could react Sam effortlessly picked her up and carried her to the bleachers. Nat kept your shirt with her to absorb any more blood which dripped out of her nose. Steve had not moved from his place as his eyes followed you. Bucky came up behind him, smacked him in the back of his head, took the ice pack and walked away with an all-knowing smirk on his face.

Steve shook it off and walked up to where everyone was coddling Nat. You were next to the group of people already on the phone with Dr. Cho and in the other slightly bloodied hand you held a hand towel, wiping the sweat from the back of your neck. Quite a sight it was for the Captain who could not keep his eyes off of you, eyes following where the towel went to wipe up sweat. That earned him a quiet whistle from Bucky in his ear and a smirk from you who knew he was staring.

Once everyone finally left Natasha alone and in the care of Dr. Cho, team Ironman finished all of their overs (which meant that Tony was forced to play against his will) and it was team Cap's turn to bat. Peter had already offered you an extra t-shirt of his which he carried with him, and that made Steve a little jealous.

Most of the game went by soon. Turns out majority of team Cap were pretty weak batters. But then Sam came onto the scene, and everything changed. The only score he seemed to be getting were 4s and 6s. Thor got out pretty quickly. And in came Bucky Barnes. He and Sam were among the last players but were the strongest at the same time. The score team Cap had to beat was 104. It proved a bit hard in the beginning, but eventually got easier.

You were currently stuck playing wicket keeper. Originally Tony wanted Peter to do it, but Rhodey didn't allow it when he saw Peter had his webshooters with him. No one else wanted to be put in a crouched down position, and you were pretty good at catching things, so it ended up being your responsibility.

Because of the earlier batters being so sadly poor at the game, you were able to score 7 wickets by the time Sam came along. 3 more and you would win. Pietro was bowling, while Sam was batting. It was starting to get really hot, so much so that Bucky even lost his inseparable leather jacket, entire metal arm on display. A sight that got you staring for a few minutes until Tony cleared his throat catching your attention.

Pietro took a short jogging start and threw the ball. Sam hit it sending in far enough to be considered a six and took off running. You couldn't hear your own yelling over Steve's. His authoritative voice overtook yours as he yelled at Sam and Bucky to run faster. Not gonna lie, you found that hot. Peter yelled your name and threw the ball to you. You caught the ball and hit the wicket just as Bucky's bat made its ground. Everyone looked at Rhodey, "Safe". Rhodey had called that out when Steve started wolf-whistling. With wide eyes you turned around to look at him, just like everyone else.

"You might wanna save those sounds for later Cap" you say with a smirk, knowing exactly what Steve will say next.

"Oh, and what might 'later' entail?" he asks as you toss the ball over to Pietro. "Later entails me and you in a pool at sunset" you call over your shoulder with a wink. Steve's red face from running around earlier had cleared leaving him back to his normal shade, but a bright shade of scarlet started creeping up along his cheeks. Yep, you just got Captain America flustered. You heard Nat chuckling from the bleachers. Her nose was bandaged up and she came back to watch the match.

The plan was to play a sport during the afternoon and then spend time in a pool during sunset. Not just you and Steve but the entire team. Though, you knew them well, they all would probably make some sort of excuse to leave you and Steve alone.

There were a few more overs left now it was just Sam and Steve who were batting. The ball was thrown and just as Steve was about to hit it with his bat, you whistled loudly right in his ear. This caused him to lose focus and hit the ball wrongly. It also was the reason you got a disappointed look from Rhodey but a proud and approving one from Tony along with a thumbs-up.

The game continued and soon they were down to their final ball. the score was 100, 9 wickets. You called out to Steve, "Aye Cap, wanna bet? Loser has to buy the winner anything they want." Steve turned around to face you. With a smile on his face he said, "Sure. We beat the score, I win. You hit the wicket, or I miss somehow, you win." You nod your head and you both shake on the deal, "Though there will be a price limit of $200." you say.

The bowler got ready and started running. He threw the ball. Steve hit the ball. It bounced on the field. Peter caught it. He threw it to you. Steve saw it and had to make a sharp turn to dash back. You caught the ball. You hit the wicket. You yelled, excitement in your tone. Steve was looking down but there was a smile on his face. It didn't matter to him that his team lost the match or that he lost a bet, all that mattered to him was that there was a smile present on your face.

Peter came running over to you and you both collided in a hug with chirpy squeals. Everyone started shaking hands. You walked up to Tony, "I guess a Stark does make good choices after all." He pulled you into a side hug and said, "We do, but you are a hell of a player kid. Good job, you did well. Now go claim your prize, the captain is waiting." and he shooed you away with a wave of his hands.

Steve came up to you with a grin on his face and held out his hand for you to shake, which you took. "So, Rogers. Where are we going for dinner?" "Why would we be going for dinner?" "Because you have to buy me whatever I want and what I want is a date with you, tonight." Should you start a counter for how many times you got Captain America to blush? Because once again Steve's cheeks started to turn pink. "So, Cap, am I gonna get what I want?" "We did make bet, didn't we?"

Just as you had predicted earlier, everyone slowly started leaving so that it was just you and Steve alone in the pool, at sunset. The atmosphere was serene. Being tired from playing all afternoon you just sat in the jacuzzi next to Steve, head resting on his chest while his arm was holding you. When you first came out to pool where almost everyone was, he stopped to take a good look at you. He would rarely get to see you in your swimsuit. You had tied your hair up, not wanting to get it wet since you'd have to wash it and were frankly too tired to do so. But now the sun had set, and it was time for your and Steve's date. It felt like it had already started while at the pool, but you both agreed to have a casual date.

You dressed comfortable and wore slip-on shoes. Steve was waiting for you by his bike. Offering you a helmet he said, "Is there any food you are craving right now?" you answered no and put the helmet on. "Where are we going?" Steve didn't reply. All you saw was a smirk before he pushed his helmet visor down hiding his beautiful face. He was in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt which was probably too tight for him, not that you minded.

You moved to sit behind him on his bike, one hand around his waist while the other rested on his thigh. And the two of you were off. After a 20-minute-long windy journey Steve stopped the bike in front of a local burger joint. They were a bit on the pricey side, but their food was delicious. You both got off and got some food.

Back on the bike he drove to a secluded location and stopped. You got off once again but this time in a grassy area. Walking slowly, you looked up to admire the stars that were now visible in the sky, like freckles dusted on a person's face which enhances their beauty even more. Your eyes moved back down to Steve when he called out your name.

"A picnic at night?" you questioned with a smile, "Now that's not your average date." Walking closer to him he holds his hand out to you and gently pulls you to the ground next to him. You and Steve unwrap your food and eat in silence, the tiredness from the day catching up to you. Until you out of nowhere you perk up with a random question, "Have you ever drawn the night sky?"

He looks at you a bit confused. So, you try to clarify. "Like have you ever drawn the moon, the stars, a comet flying in the background, maybe the shadows of some Christmas trees and mountains?" He seems to be understanding what you mean and chews quickly to reply.

"Yes, I have. I was sitting at my window when I got hit with sudden inspiration and pulled out my sketchbook. That night I not only drew the sky, but I also drew a picture of a very beautiful star which I also saw from my window." "How do you draw a star? Especially one which you saw outside." you asked, your mouth full. That made Steve chuckle, even more so when you covered your mouth to chew, hiding your grin.

"It was easy," he said, leaning in a bit closer. "I drew you." This time it was not the captain who blushed, it was you. You could feel your cheeks slightly hot and faintly hurting. Since your hands were filled with food, you leaned forward rested your head on his chest with a soft thump.

You softly squealed into his chest which elicited a deep laugh from him, whose vibrations you could feel. You looked up at him and he pulled you closer with his free hand. "I draw you quite often. Every time I look at you, I feel inspired to draw your portrait and have the urge to frame it on my bedroom walls. My favourite picture of you that I have drawn it one where you are laughing. I added a flower to it, an amaryllis tucked behind your ear."

At this point you were just looking at him with utmost adoration. He was looking straight while talking but your eyes were glued to him and how he looked while talking about drawing you. When he finished and set his gaze back on you, the two ended up just looking at each other. The electricity could be felt and the urge to move up a little was there, it didn't feel like the right time, so you settled for tilting your forehead against his, noses touching.

The moment felt like it was going forever but eventually you both finished eating, packed up and drove back to the compound. He walked you to your room and just before leaving you he gave you a soft kiss on your cheek before bidding you goodnight. Just before he disappeared behind his own door you said, "I enjoyed spending time with you Steve. I wanna do it again."

"How about we make a bet?"

Rest assured you were squealing into your pillow for the rest of the night.

A/N- So after working on this forever (September 20, 2022) I have finally been able to post. I am in the middle of writing 4 different posts rn and have started exams (i have a paper in a few hours). Just wanted to gift my 60-something followers a fic so that they know I have not died.

Apologies if i accidentally mentioned any specific pronouns for the reader, please let me know if i do, i will make the changes.

You were quickly thrown into the portal, luckily on a couch.

"Y/n!"

"Woah- hey- hey." Y/n chuckled, being swamped by Kate and Peter.

"I thought you were dead! And I went looking! And Called your house!" Peter started, jumping up and pacing around, "I thought maybe you Portaled back here ya know with the wooshy! Wosh! Portal stuff! And I begged any of them to portal me there, but noo! So i went to see Mr.Murdock. And he was gone! And Mr.Stark's gone! And- have I told you I love you? I love you man."

Y/n got up, "Hey..hey lets-"

He was hugging her in relief in a matter of seconds, Y/n sighing, patting his back.

"Hey. We'll be okay." Y/n told him, pulling back to hold his shoulder.

"Yeah. Yeah. Wow...is it hot in here Im hot- are you hot Kate-"

"Its called stress." Kate informed getting up, "But seriously. I totally knew you could handle...whatever came your way. And was not totally worried I'd be at your funeral."

Y/n raised a brow, "Okay! Okay! I was worried! But! In my defense! I was...not as worried." Kate informed.

They were both extremely worried for you

And about Frank and the others. And the list went on and on.

Loki was more worried about Max

"Is she alright?"

"Loki who?"

"Who? Who the hell do you think!?" Loki argued, "I know you can decently handle yourself! But.-"

"But?"

"You know Midgaridans!? Especially a red head! Blue eyes colder than a frost giants soul-"

"Max."

"Yes! Max! She enjoyed the gift yes?"

"Max..." y/n let it sit in, "MAX! THE KIDS!"

"Yes yes the others. But Max-"

You ran off so quick for Strange,

You tried explaining to him you need to go back

"And why in the hell would I?"

"Stephen! Please! Please! Steve! Billy! Max! The kids!"

"Not important at the moment. Earths Heros are going missing and your worried about some boy you slept with." Stephen spoke, looking hastily through spell books.

"Woah! Woah!" Kate argued, "You slept with someone!?"

"Was it Steve?" Peter asked.

"Steve Roggers?!" Kate asked.

"Harrington." Stephen corrected causing Kate to 'oh'

"Why does it matter who I slept with!?" Y/n argued.

"I mean. You did get caught." Kate defened.

"Big time caught." Wade told, "Luckily you werent doin the deed as we whatever the fuck we did to get into your room."

"Listen! Give me my sling ring back. Let me just warn them!-"

There was a knock on the door everyone turning there heads.

"Stay. Put." Stephen ordered, he walking his way towards the front room.

You all of course followed him standing at the top of the stair case watching Stephen.

The loud knocking contuined for so long Stephen even had to shout he was coming

He barely made it to the door though. It being broken down by the sight of smoke. They planted a small thermite.

And when the smoke cleared, Stephen was by the throat in the air,

Tony Stark- Iron Man had him by the throat.

And in came Wanda, with a well Suited up Daredevil and Punisher.

You pushed everyone behind you

"Y/n. Y/n. There's the little city bird." Wanda smiled.

"What the hell are you doing!" Y/n shouted.

"Taking what should of been his long ago!" She demanded.

Stephen's cloak out of all things was able to slap Tony across the helm with enough force causing him to drop Stephen.

"Go!" He ordered.

"What no way!" Y/n ordered.

"Listen to him!" Kate demanded pulling Y/n away, Peter quickly webbing up what he could of the enemies feet and ran with the two of them

You think it's just the small group, unknown why or how- but you turn a corner running into Loki and Deadpool scaring the shit out of everybody.

"Fuck!" Y/n shouted.

"Yeah! You can fuck later!" Wade argued, "We have to go! Now!"

"This way! Come!" Loki ordered now leading the group.

You're really just trying to find your sling ring. To teleport out the damn city.

But leave it to you to all get split up, due to the hulk and Captain America literally smashing through the roof

Of course you end up isolated, and alone

"Get out! We'll meet you with Max!" Loki shouted,

"We better get going or thors gonna shove his hammer up our ass!" Wade argued.

"Fine!" Y/n shouted, rushing away down the hall, the two Avengers hot on her tail

You were luckily you had trained with Bruce and Roggers on your own time.

It gave you something to work with but not to win.

You knew you'd have to isolate yourself with Roggers for the best shot.

And you needed that sheild.

You made it to a familiar room, a teleporter room. Doors leading to different areas within the world.

You were quick to twist it to see Hulk running straight for you from down the hall.

It was dumb luck getting him in that door and closing it, changing it before he could go back.

"You forget about someone-"

Turning her head she was knocked to the floor, a sheild sucker punched across her face.

Her face cut, her mouth bleeding.

"Fuck..."

She was grabbed by the back of the shirt and brought up into the air.

"You will please him-"

Barely letting him finish his sentence, Y/n headbutted Roggers as hard as she could, he dropping and stumbling back as Y/n took the sheild from him. Kicking him back and hitting him across the face with the sheild. Knocking him down.

The roof caved in again, Y/n backing up in time covering herself with the sheild. The smoke blocking her view and filling her lungs she coughed violently waving it away before the dust settled and Cap was gone. A clear sear in the debris meaning Thor had most likely taken him and gone off.

You panted heavily, and after a breath, quickly changed one of the doors to Hawkins.

Quickly you went in closing the door behind you it disappearing as soon as you walked out and a few feet forward.

You were just outside of your Home, where you quickly rushed inside.

The place? Ransacked a mess.

Things thrown across the room. Broken glass.

Shells on the ground

Whatever is happening. It was forceful

Most of the shells were Franks, there not being enough for two people, and not shells of two diffrent guns were found, plus. Engravings you had done still littered his bullets

You went in your room, grabbed your over the shoulder backpack and started packing.

Its mostly weapons, you change out your shoes for combat books and changed jeans for your usual cargo pants will a better belt.

You kept Billy's jacket though

You grab your bike keys, just to realize those are the spare. And your bikes at harringtons place.

So your walking to the Harrington house. Quickly too

Getting on your bike and starting it your rush off.

Steves most likeky at work. Billy and Max are your priority

You make it to there house and knock.

Susan answers.

"Oh..how can I help you?"

"Max home? Billy?"

"No. No." She answers.

"Where can I find them?"

"Uh. Maxine is at her friend's. I dont know where Billy is sorry."

God. Parents are usless.

So you go off to The Wheelers.

That seems like your best option

Your pretty quick to knock on the door.

"Y/n!"

"Woah! Holly what are you doin answering the door?" Y/n chuckled kneeling down, "Hey. Im looking for your brother. And Max. Any idea where any one is?"

She shook her head no.

"Holly are you answering the door again!"

"Better go before you get in trouble." Y/n told, "here take a candy bar, all the way from New York."

You watched her happily take it and run off, you leaving to go find the others.

Joyce would know where her kid was, especially after the whole Upside down incident.

So you went to her house, knocked, and got no response,

You spent the whole day running around for answers, none, and it was getting dark, and you were getting frustrated.

At a loss now, you sat back on the steps of your home, bag by your feet and sighing in response running your fingers through your hair trying to remember the day's events.

A group of superheroes had attacked you, including your dad, a "he" was implied quite a bit during the arguments...so who was He?

Hydra? Sokovians who wanted Revenge? King Pin? Was it Maya? Abomination

You got up, going inside, maybe you could at least call people now and while doing so you start an investigations board on the wall

You called Harrington first, no answer, the Wheelers, Sinclairs, Hendersons, no one. No one at all. Until you called the Hargrove- Mayfield Residence.

"What!"

"Billy!" Y/n spoke excitedly.

"City Bird?" Billy questioned on the other end of the phone, "Look I know sound just as good as I look but don't gotta get so excited to hear my voice."

"Thank god I got a hold of you." y/n responded pinning up personal photos she had of missing people, ripped sticky notes blocking out non-missing people.

"You sound worried," He spoke, "Don't tell me Harrington got you pregnant."

"My dad's missing," Y/n explained.

"What?"

"And then I found him, in a way, and he started attacking."

"Woah, Woah, Woah," He started, "Context would be nice."

So Y/n laid it out for him, she had stayed the night at Harringtons, and got woken up by a Doctor Douche and yeeted to New York through a portal, not long after you were attacked by a group of people that knew how to bite the bullet and survive.

"I'll come over," Billy explained.

"Don't change your plans because of me, just keep your head out of your ass and look both ways." Y/n explained, "I don't know what's happening, I think it may be a mystic arts thing, I'm not sure, but whoever knows people I hang out with all too well. It's too suspicious and coincidental that all the Midnight Sons went missing after they trained me. Not to mention Matts gone missing too, whoever this wants me to go after them as well, it's kinda obvious, I just. I need you to keep in contact with me, and watch Max, seriously: one of you could end up hurt."

"So I'm coming over, see you in 15."

Y/n sighed as Billy hung up the phone.

Billy never made it to the Castilligone Cabin.

You waited up the whole night but ended up falling asleep with a gun in your hand,

You woke up, not realizing what day or time it was.

"Mhm." She groaned, cracking her bones looking around rubbing her eyes.

She picked up the phone dialing Billy's number.

"Hey."

Y/n turned her head, "Shit!"

Quickly taking aim with her gun her brother stood infront of her.

"Woah! Woah!" He stopped her, hands up, "Put the gun down, put it down. It's okay."

"Get the fuck out!" Y/n shouted at Russo, "How did you know I was in Hawkins!"

"Y/n. Y/n. City Bird come on-"

"Dont fucking call me that!" Y/n shouted, "fuck you! Make a move and I'll shoot! Now answer my question!"

"Okay okay! You're in New York...ya know.. Home. Hell's Kitchen."

"What- No! No! I am in Hawkin's! Where the fuck is Hargrove!"

"I have no idea who that is." He responded.

"Billy Fucking Hargrove! He calls me-"

Y/n paused, "he calls me...city bird-"

She dropped her gaurd, Russo coming in closer, "Hey. Hey. It's alright. Lets just go back to bed-"

Y/n looked back at him lifted the pistol and pulled the trigger.

She woke up the next moment, sweating bullets. Looking sround she was around side and barefoot, but the Cabin was right there.

"Hey! Hey!"

She turned her head seeing Steve Harrington.

"Hey! Are you alright!?" He shouted rushing towards her on the ground, "what the hell happened...look at your nose..."

"What?" Y/n asked touching her nose, feeling warmth, feeling below her nose, she was bleeding.

"Come on." Steve told her getting her up, she leaning on him for support, "You're freezing cold. What are you doing out here in shorts and a tank top?"

What? When had she changed chlothing?

"T.thats not possible. I was fully chlothes last night."

"It's called Pajamas Y/n." Steve informed, sitting her down carefully on the couch, wrapping her in blanket going to grab a med kit."

She stayed still, confused and dazed, a window was left open, where a crow flew in and perched itself on the windowseal.

Y/n stared dazed at the bird, Steve intruppting her staring as he kneeled infront of her.

"I got so worried. It's been days. And I figured. Oh well she's in New York."

"Where am I?" Y/n asked.

Steve looked up at her, "your in Hawkins." He spoke softly, holding her hand.

"Remember we went on a date?" Steve asked, "then uh. You slept over. But Your friends had to get you. Loki?"

"Loki." Y/n spoke, what happened with Loki.

The raven from before squaked and loud, she looking up, and getting up.

"Hey. Hey. No. You need fo stay down-"

Y/n stood in silence looking at the bird.

"Its a bird." Y/n spoke.

"Yeah and by the looks of it he's been near the cities with how big he is-"

'Little City Bird' 'City Bird come on-' 'City Bird?'

Why was Wanda calling her City bird? How did Russo know about that? They could only get that from Hargrove, and neither of them knew Hargrove...

"Fuck!" Y/n shouted rushing to the phone.

"Hey! Hey! Woah! Let's take a mintue. Come on." Steve tried to tell, taking her from the phone, "Come on lets sit down."

He sat her down, "But I-"

"Let me patch up some of these cuts first. And clean your nose."

He sar next to her,opening an alcholol wipe and started wiping her face.

She had small cuts everywhere, and on big one across her nose.

"You got pretty beat up out there. What happened?"

"I was sleeping by the phone. I remember that." Y/n told.

"By what phone?"

"That phone." Y/n pointed to the red phone on the wall.

"Here?"

Y/n nodded.

"Y/n you've been gone for three days." He told her, "I called the house. Maybe you'd be back. But I found your bike on the side of the road." Steve informed, wipping away dried blood from her nose.

"My bike?"

"Your motorcycle?"

"What about it? Its parked outside."

"It was on the street Y/n." Steve told, "Did you hit your head? Does your head hurt?"

He felt around the back of her head for lumps, dried blood, or fresh, bur found nothing.

"I remember being gone for only a day." Y/n told him, her face held disappointment and discontent, anger almost, she felt stupid, not being believed and not understanding what was going on: she felt stupid for not knowing what was happening when she was usually ontop of everything.

"Hey. I believe you." Steve told her, "I believe you. I do."

He rubbed her hand in a loving matter, "Just worried. Its not everyday your girlfriend goes to save the world."

Y/n nodded.

"Come on lets get you in the shower and then bandage everything up."

Y/n nodded as Steve helped her up, worried she'd fall or slip, helping her undress and running a bath for her to sit in and left her to rest for a moment.

Y/n leaned her head against the edge of the tub.

You were confused, very confused

How did you end up outside? Why was your nose bleeding? How did you loose three days of time?

You were quiet, sighing, what had happened?

Steve came in not to long after, telling you he make a hot cup of tea, so you got out of the tub, he stopping you

"You sure you didnt get into a fight?" Steve asked, looking at your bruised side.

"What? Yeah why?"

He touched her side, causing her to wince.

"Yeah. That." Y/n sighed, "Steve fucked me up with his sheild."

"The one sitting in your room?" He asked, "broken?"

"What?" Y/n asked wrapping a towel around herself and walking into her room, the sheild left on her bed broken in half, it left her in shock.

"Damn! Be careful! I am hurt!"

"Yeah well blow it out your ass Princess."

'This is her house!"

Y/n walked towards the door, opening the door she stood on the porch, in a towel.

"Y/n!" Peter cheered, his face cut up along with some parts of his suit, Strange leaning on him, the group had grown slightly but not much.

Peter let go of Stephen and rushed up to hug her, even if she was only in a towel, and then pulled away, "Y/n. You have."

Y/n looked at concerned, "Aunt Mays gone, MJ and I-"

"Hey. Hey its okay." Y/n responded, "Come on. Everyone comes inside quickly."

The group was rushed inside, and she rushed to get dressed in her room.

Meanwhile whoever wasnt injured helped in patching up the injuried.

"Becareful-"

"Yeah I know how to do this." Y/n told Stephen, she trying to get a bullet out of his leg.

"Theres a-"

"I Know." Y/n complained, carefully pulling out a bullet from his leg, and started to sew him back up, "What happened?"

"Seems whatever's controlling our friends. Got way more than we think." He sighed, Y/n looking at him, "Wong."

It was quiet betweent the two.

"Christine."

There it was, Y/n was silent as she finshed up the stitches.

"Oh..." she spoke softly, keeping her head down.

This was her fault. It had to be...how could it not?

"I." Y/n spoke up, "I'm sorry."

Stephen looked at her, "this. All of this. Its my fault."

"This is not your fault." Stephen told her.

"So it's coincidence? All the sudden that people Im only close to get hurt?" Y/n asked, "You told me coincidences don't exist."

Y/n wrapped the bandages around his leg.

"You'll be fine." She spoke getting up to throw away everything and move on to the next person.

Meanwhile Steve was Helping Peter with his own wounds.

"Steve right?" Peter asked.

"Yeah." He told, "Peter Parker?"

Peter nodded, "Yeah-"

Peter hissed in pain, "Sorry" Steve apologized.

"Its okay. You semi- get use to it." Peter told with a chuckle, "Never gets old."

"Yeah. Im. Im just getting use to it." Steve told.

"Takes a few times." Peter told watching Y/n tend to America.

"Your..starin pretty hard." Steve told him.

"What?" Peter asked, "no. Nothing like that. It's uh...worry really. Whatever this is went after my aunt and MJ, just worried about her."

Steve banaged the last cut, "You're done."

"Thanks."

"So what exactly happened?" Y/n asked the group.

"Well Im sure you remember the Sanctum incident." Stephen explained handing him a cup of tea, "thank you...the avengers as we know them are gone. They're not attacking New York but they are going after heros, and its not Wanda or Wong."

"Why would you think it'd be Wanda or Wong."

"Because its a collective Hive Mind." He explained, "I hit one the other goes down. It hurts everybody. I would assume it was induced by the Mystic Arts, or Dark Magic. Its not."

"Your saying it Physical?" Y/n asked.

"Perhaps, But I've never run into something so difficult to Pinpoint." Stephen told the group, "It's hard to get to where ever it is."

"What about not hard to get to, but gaurded?" Loki commented, "Heavily Gaurded."

"Gaurded by what?" Wade argued, "The tooth fairy? And a Unicorn?"

"Magic." Stephen told.

That caused Kate to chuckle, "ah thats a good one-"

Everyone looked at her, "Oh thats..Thats not a joke?"

"Whatevers happening they have a strong mental hold on there territory." Stephen explained.

"What happens if its not Magic?" Steve asked.

"Oh my god." Wade spoke, "You're the guy!"

"Wade." Y/n stoped, "Shut the fuck up- you know what- Can't you call I dont know. Call the X men?"

"Thats not a bad idea." He spoke, then looked towards the readers, "But that would leave things too easy and we all know the Author likes to kill of the main characters. I'll give ya all a hint it's gonna be-

"Wade!" Y/n intruppted him.

"What?! Oh come on!"

"He always like this?" Steve asked Peter.

"Yeah."

"So what do we do?" Y/n asked.

"Right now? Nothing."

"What?" Y/n asked, "Nothing?! They have my dad!-"

"What do you want me to do!?" Stephen asked watching Y/n storm off into her room slam the door shut, just to come back out with Steve's Sheild.

"This!' Y/n argued, "That thing broke this! It left me knocked out for Three days!"

"Is that Caps sheild?" Peter asked confused get up, "Its broken."

"Exactly."

"What does that mean?" Kate asked.

"Vibranium doesnt break." Peter told.

So they can break Vibranium and there Magic

Wonderful

So.

You tell what ever loving girlfriend tells there boyfriend

For Steve to get the fuck out.

He's pretty upset about it

He doesnt want to leave, especially after that group conversation.

"You have to go."

"Why?"

Y/n sighed they standing on the porch, "Because you'll be safe-"

"And what about you? You'll be safe?"

"Thats not the point."

"What is the point."

"The point is that you're blood wont be on my hands." Y/n argued, "so go home Steve."

She turned around to walk back inside.

"Time really doesn't change people." He argued.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"That Means no matter how many people try to help you you just push people away!"

"Im not pushing you away! Im trying to save you!"

"Why? You're not a hero. You said it yourself! You dont want to be a hero. So why even worry." Steve argued, "Why act like something you argue so hard not to be."

"Get off my porch," y/n told, opening the door to go back insidem

You went back inside to deal with the situation at hand.

“Kinda think you’re obligated to say something nice since I make out with you.” Fighting back the soft smile that was threatening to pull at her lips. Being generally optimistic, it was rare she got this down about herself. After visiting her mother at the prison, the long train ride back gave her a bit too much time to think about what her mother said. Eleanor loved her, that much she knew. However, putting her own mother behind bars definitely tested that love. It was the right thing to do, but it also felt like the wrong thing to do. Her mother’s frustration was understandable. After all the wrongs she did, Kate tried to remind herself that her mother’s judgement shouldn’t hold such a weight...but it did.  “She’s angry, I’m trying not to take it too personally.”

Far Far From Home

by aiki_sweetie Peter was a decently normal person, right? I mean besides the fact that he's a superhero that works with the Avengers. In his defense, that is pretty normal where he lives. How many people have powers and don’t become a hero or villain? So someone could also argue that the situation he is in now is also perfectly normal. It's perfectly normal to wake up in an alleyway in his suit, Karen completely offline, covered in blood. That he's pretty sure isn't his. The only thing that's a bit confusing, is that he was just with Doctor Strange, asking him to make everyone forget he is Spider-Man. ----- Superheroes [2,682,196 Results] Thank you.

March! This was very close to being 3 hours, 31 minutes but then some cool new tracks released so they were added and we ended at 3:35.

Anyway, obvi the primary goal here was to include 'Brutus' by The Buttress as track fifteen. Ides, babyyyy. Really tried to work a lot of Ides of March and March as Spring in here. I felt very clever opening with De La Soul's 'The Magic Number' (it's three like the month). 

I encountered some new and old faves this month, always stoked to find new bands and to discover new covers - Grace Slick covering 'Nature Boy,' do you KNOW how amped teen me would have been??!! Overall this might be the most "concept album" of monthly playlists I've done and I'm quite pleased with it! Also this cover is maybe my current favourite thing.

You guys The Power of the Doctor was fucking phenomenal. I had so many fears and so many doubts, but that was beautifully done and my heart is so full right now.

Random rambles off the top of my head:

- Yaz is so beautifully confident and competent! Like folks talk about Doctorification as a bad thing but my god hers is excellent.

- Ace my love my love my love. Ace calling 13 Professor. Ace stashing her jacket in UNIT HQ. Ace with a big fuckoff gun. Ace with HER BASEBALL BAT. Ace jumping off a building with a parachute. Ace going “of course I can single-handedly take out a volcano full of Daleks, I’m not a wimp”. Ace meeting Graham! Ace having a sweet heart to heart with Seven oh my days my heart. 

- For some reason I didn’t expect Ace and Tegan to sound like they used to. They obviously look different, and I dunno, I guess I was expecting them to feel different too. But the second Ace opened her mouth I damn near cried. They sounded exactly the same as ever. 

- Tegan my love my love my love. Tegan being a big damn hero, completely of her own volition, and always managing to feel hard done by about it. Tegan telling off every Doctor she sees. Tegan refusing to leave Kate Stewart in the fight alone. Tegan fighting her way through an entire building full of Cybermen. Tegan having an incredibly sweet heart to heart with Five, and Five understanding and validating her trauma. Five saying, of course seeing Cybermen again reminds you of Adric, of course seeing Cybermen again takes you back to that horrific experience (because even before Adric died that was a pretty terrible story for Tegan). Honestly I can’t say that enough. Five looking Tegan in the eye and understanding her pain, in a way that he was always too exasperated to do back in the day. And ugh the parallels between this and Earthshock, with Tegan fighting through masses of Cybermen and being insanely brave, except this time it paid off and she didn’t lose anybody important to her.

- Oh my god all the Doctors. Fake William Hartnell, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann... I yelped seeing them all. The boy band from the alternative 50th anniversary haha. They all care so much about this show, it’s such a pleasure to see them all back. And 8 refusing to wear a cloak was funny.

- “Last time I saw you you were part cat” omg Ace. I didn’t expect them to reference that quite so openly lmao

- The Master. Dance party. Ra Ra Rasputin. While Daleks and Cybermen watch. I mean it’s up there with Cassandra and Toxic, or Simm-Master and I Can’t Decide. Genuinely think I scared my neighbours I was howling so loud with laughter.

- Kate Stewart you tough legend. I’ve never been particularly invested in her before, but nah she’s pretty good.

- Omg the Master in 13′s costume. Sacha Darwan making those pants look like shorts. 

- The Journey’s End throwback with all the friends piloting the TARDIS together my heart.

- That support group at the end. All the friends coming together. JO GRANT. MEL BUSH. IAN CHESTERTON. I’m so glad we finally got an appearance from Ian, no matter how short. 

- The regeneration was so sweet and gentle and peaceful. We’ve had a lot of traumatic and dramatic regenerations of late. I’m so glad 13 got to go so kindly. The ice creams on top of the TARDIS. The last sunset. The way she held it off for a while so she could have a few more beautiful moments, then willingly embraced the future.

- “Tag, you’re it”. Perfect last lines for this Doctor. I’m sad to see her go, but that was a good exit.

They managed to bring together all these characters, and all these plotlines, and give each of them sufficient weight and value. Nobody felt shorted or extraneous. Jodie was on top form, and she got a damn good send off.

[princeescaluswords]

Currently doing a rewatch of Teen Wolf and picking up on so many things I missed the first time especially now that I'm older. I'll start with Jackson being obsessed with making a name for himself and how it reflects Gerard who ends up controlling him later.

And also Gerard telling Allison "you remind me of her (Kate)" and how it's him clearly manipulating her probably in a similar way to how he molded Kate years ago. And Kate ends up with a creature's claws at her throat much like Kate did.

Teen Wolf paid special attention to the idea of identity (much like any bildungsroman, to be quite honest) and it did it through the lens of recursion. The same choices lead to the same consequences. For all the mistakes that Jeff Davis made, his use of narrative tropes and visual parallelism brought this point home again and again. Identity in Teen Wolf is not solely determined by self-definition; one of the subversive themes of the show, which I appreciate, is that identity is also a function of choices and environment. Peter can shout and strut that, "[he is] the alpha, that [he's] always been the alpha" but his choices and the reactions of the people around him to those choices make a different determination. Scott doesn't want to be a werewolf, he doesn't want to be an alpha, but his decisions in the face of danger and the reactions of the people around him to those choices determine that he's "not just an alpha, but a True Alpha."

Western European-American civilization has embraced concepts of self-determination as a fundamental aspect of manhood (I'm not being sexist here, these concepts are nearly universally tied to male identity alone. Davis analyzing them with regard to female characters is also subversive) with such ideas as Henry Clay's "self-made man" and the Byronic hero, protagonists defined entirely by their interior life without regard for exterior environment. Davis in Teen Wolf said that's not only untrue, but also leads to corruption. From the epitome of the Byronic Hero, Seasons 1-3A Derek Hale, to the horrific and egomaniacal self-regard of Sebastien "I am the famous and feared Beast of Gevaudan" Valet, any attempt to create identity through self focus alone leads to pain, tragedy, and madness. Relationships to a group, whether that be pack or family, is required in this narrative for a truly positive development of identity.

Looking at your two examples, we can see how they ended differently because of the relationships with the people involved.

Both Jackson and Gerard sought to determine their own identities in reaction to perceived inadequacies. Jackson's obsession with his dead biological parents pushed him to extreme measures to establish value for his life on his terms and his terms alone. But for all his roles as lacrosse star and big man on campus with perfect hair and a perfect car, he rejected the relationships that could have helped define him (his parents, Lydia, Derek's pack). He tried to have complete control and it wasn't enough. He decayed, bleeding black blood and becoming a monster, and he died for it. Gerard's obsession with survival in the face of cancer pushed him to extreme measures to establish value for his life on his terms and his terms alone. But for all his roles as hunter and mastermind, he rejected the relationships that could have helped save him (his family -- Kate, Chris, Victoria, and Allison). It would never be about helping others but about "securing his own legacy." He decayed, bleeding black blood and working with monsters, and he died for it.

But Jackson ultimately survived while Gerard didn't. What's the difference? When Lydia offered Jackson her love, he accepted what he once rejected. He turned to Derek for help, relinquishing control. So he got back up. Gerard couldn't do either, even though as Chris said "your family is right in front of you," and so in the end, he won't be getting back up from that.

Kate and Allison end up in the same place as well. Kate has Peter's claws at her throat because she trusted Gerard and did what he told her to do. Allison has Jackson's claws at her throat because she trusted Gerard and did what he told her to do. Surprisingly enough, while it looks like Allison survives and Kate does, their fates don't diverge until afterward. Allison rejects Gerard and his corruption of the Code, acknowledges her mistakes (though some people wish she had done more) and more importantly seeks to change thing for the better. She dies from a wound to the stomach, but Scott is there to hold her, her father is there to carry on her work, so many people to remember her. "She would have been with us." "She still is." Kate also dies from a wound to the stomach (Gerard shooting there was not a coincidence) but she dies in horror and violence, off-screen.

I can't wait to see what the movie is going to do with this next recursion of Allison's story.

"Oh my god!"

"Kate, calm down—"

"Why is that counting down? And why is it only ten minutes long?!"

"It's okay!" Cat raised her voice, her ears were still buzzing. She tried to use her powers, but they were unresponsive. "Oh, shit."

Spider-man tensed. "What?"

Something cold slipped down Cat's back. "My inhibitor's been activated again."

"Then turn it off," Kate turned to Spidey. "Turn it off!"

Kurt coughed, he tried to get up but he fell, he was severely malnourished and beaten. They needed to get him treated as soon as possible.

"What's that noise?" He mumbled.

The use of his powers in such a weak state drained him for the rest of the night. Probably the rest of the week. Cat picked up her beeper and stared at it without knowing what to do.

"C..." Peter's voice was getting higher. "It doesn't turn off!"

"They must've made a backup... those assholes may be animals, but they have brains—"

"Cat if we don't do something, you're going to blow up the whole building, including us!" Kate urged her. "Think!"

Cat could feel their wide-eye gazes, and her body reacted before she could think it through. Peter's senses seemed to catch up, cause he tried to reach out for her at the last second.

"Don't—!"

The mutant kicked him away and got up, running as fast as she could in the opposite direction with the young man closely following behind. Kate screamed at her, but she wasn't running, the archer had stayed to help Kurt, and she hoped Spider-man could handle Copycat alone.

Peter tackled her, and Cat fought to get out of his grip. She realized then that they were on Midtown High's rooftop.

"STOP FOLLOWING ME!"

She snatched E.D.I.T.H. out of his face with one hand and punched his nose with the other, the hero lost balance and Cat crawled away from him. Back on her feet, she slid down the emergency ladder, jumping off and landing on the grass. She then put on the Stark glasses.

"Hi, C.C."

"Hi, babe," she panted, still running. "Russo's location?"

A map appeared in the lenses only for her to see, she could hear Spider-man still chasing her. Russo was moving fast, he was far, if only she could be faster... if she could have her powers back for just a second...

"Stop trying to die!" Peter said, swinging from a building.

"I promise this is the last time!" She yelled, rounding up a corner.

The beeper was still firmly in her hand, and it was making strange choppy static noises. Cat pressed the comm button and spoke close to the artefact.

"Hi, Webs three!" She stumbled but quickly gathered herself up. "If you're hearing this—" a big piece of junk flew over her head, she glanced over her shoulder. "Stop throwing stuff at me!" Cat turned back ahead, running straight to an open street. "Anyway, Parker, go back to your universe—!"

The collar was triggered and an electric shock made her lose her footing. She'd crossed the street without paying attention, and if Harley had seen her, he would've yelled "I told you so". A truck was about to run her over, Cat closed her eyes out of instinct...

Spider-man lifted her up just in time, he wrapped his arm firmly around her middle and she wrapped her legs around his hips, now he was swinging them forward following the street below. Cat gasped for air, and the cold filled her lungs without M.O.U.S.E. there to protect her.

"Listen!" She shouted, opening her eyes little by little so the air didn't hit them abruptly as well. Spider-man's logo was the first thing she came face to face with. "Peter..." she froze. That was spider-man's logo, just not the one from her world. Cat looked up with her mouth wide open. "Parker!"

The young man had his attention elsewhere. "Am I trippin' or is my other self chasing after you with a brick in his hand?"

The Stark glasses began to make noise, they were approaching her target. Russo's car was right ahead. "Let go."

"What?"

"Drop me!"

She hit him on the stomach, Parker loosened his grip but he was fast to seize her wrist just as quickly before she could fall any further. Cat hissed and scratched his forearm as hard as she could with her free hand. Parker yelped but he didn't release her, he kept swinging, and now they were right above Billy's car and about to leave it behind. She searched in her boots and found a pocket knife.

"I'm sorry!"

She stabbed his hand. Spidey let go of her shouting.

"Motherff—!"

Cat didn't hear the rest, she fell on the roof of a taxi.

"Jesus!" She grunted.

Cat pushed herself up with difficulty and looked around, tightly holding onto the top of the moving vehicle. E.D.I.T.H. guided her attention to a limousine a few cars ahead. The taxi driver was yelling, she'd ruined his car but she didn't have time or interest in apologizing.

The mutant jumped from one moving car to another, her knee pulsed horribly but she did her best to ignore it. One of Russo's men pointed their gun at her, but she threw the knife before he could shoot, stabbing him in the forehead.

Copycat reached the black vehicle and looked upside down through the passenger seat, she pulled the man's body out the window to have a clear view, she'd run out of weapons, but she was so angry that it didn't matter. She hated when things didn't go the way she wanted them to. Even more, if it was a man's fault.

"What's up!" Cat said in a wildly invigorated voice, stealing the corpse's gun.

Her collar got activated a second time. Cat pushed herself up on time even though she could barely control her twitching muscles, a blast of bullets missed her by only a few inches, and a piece of her hair was cut clean by one of the projectiles, she watched it fly away in the frigid wind.

The mutant entered feet first through the car's window, Cat bent a little and used the man's gun to shoot at the other two companions on each side of Russo. Once she was seated, she shot the driver in the head, before he could pull out his weapon.

They started to move erratically, Cat shot at the windshield and kicked it out of the way. She crawled up on the headboard to get out but a bullet grazed her thigh, and another one went past her ear.

"Fine! I'll stay a bit longer!" She huffed, pointing her gun at Russo.

He didn't try to shoot again, Cat was in a terrible mood: Kraven wasn't there.

"You didn't think I'd go without saying goodbye, right?"

She raised her voice so he could hear her above the traffic noises. Cat kept the steering wheel steady so they didn't crash yet. Billy was pale, and the scars on his face had never looked as red and bulky as now.

"You have one minute left," he announced, trying to look unbothered. "Is this really how you wish to end things?"

"Yeah, not a big deal."

Russo smiled at something over her shoulder, and she frowned.

"I'll tell your friends you said hi," he said.

The roaring of an engine startled her, the mutant looked back in the direction Billy had been staring at a second before: Kraven was riding a large motorcycle a few spots ahead, and he was pointing at Cat with her own spear. He threw it so fast she could only see a swirl of colors as it flew through the traffic.

"CAT!"

Parker picked her up a second time, saving her from getting impaled. Her inhibitor started blinking repeatedly, beeping so loudly it was wounding her already hurting eardrums.

Sparks started to come out from around her, for a brief second she had the impression the explosion had somehow come from outside, given that she could still see Spider-man in the middle of the cloud of fire and dust... but that wasn't a normal explosion.

A blur of colors and noises confused her. Parker held onto her tighter, she could no longer tell which way was down and which was up. There was no skyline, suddenly everything took form again and Cat was thrown out of the young man's embrace.

She rolled across the street in a haze, she wasn't in pain, which is what one would expect after blowing up. In alarm, she got up and ran away from the busy street, Parker shouted at her to come back but she didn't listen.

"Where are we, Edith?" She asked, but the glasses didn't reply to her.

She spotted the Brooklyn bridge ahead and Cat kept on running, not even stopping to consider she wasn't so close to that area a second ago. Russo was out of sight and so was Kraven, at least she could try and get away from the city so no one could get hurt by the explosion.

Out of desperation, Cat tried to teleport forgetting she couldn't... and it worked.

She slipped and put her hands forward to stop her face from meeting the pavement, Cat saw her claws come out as she landed. Slowly, she reached up and seized the collar around her throat, pulling as hard as she could. The inhibitor broke in two, no longer making noises.

Cat looked around, the cars had slightly altered designs than the ones she would usually see in her city. The mutant teleported again to a random street and walked deeper into town. There was no sight of hero propaganda.

Where the Stark tower had been for more years than she could remember, was now a tall, dark building. Cat took off the E.D.I.T.H. glasses with a horror-struck gaze. A logo could be seen at the very top, right in between two pointy ends resembling cat ears... or a goblin's:
