Chapter 6: Escort.
A/N: I apologise for any spelling mistakes I make.
3rd POV: Peter stared up at the ceiling. He had been in his cell for 4 months, simply waiting and plotting. He's had visits from Sue and Natasha and Carol whenever they had the chance and simply talked, from how they were doing to what was happening out in the world. From what he was told, New York was under heavy lockdown, after the people protested and now the people were being treated with a lot of suspicion and were constantly under the threat of being arrested or even worse, beaten to near death, this just made Peter want to hurry up and end the civil war quicker.
Another thing that he found out, from Sue specifically, was that Reed and Hank shared the responsibility of leading the pro registration act and that they also now were in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D instead Maria Hill, which boggled his mind.
"Can't believe that she's not in control of S.H.I.E.L.D anymore." The symbiote said in its host head.
"Officially, she is, but unofficially, she isn't." Peter replied. "Any crazy scheme that Reed and Hank do that'll end up going wrong will have everyone pointing fingers at Hill since she's still seen as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the 2 'great leaders' get off scot free." Peter further added, a frown on his face. Whilst he and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D never have gotten along, he didn't like the fact that she would be blamed and continue to be blamed for the things that both Mr fantastic and Ant man would do.
Another thing that he also found out, from Black Widow this time, was that the Avengers tower was attacked once again, not from Captain America but from Black Cat. The wallcrawler wondered why the cat thief attacked the tower, and a small part of him wondered if she was trying to find his whereabouts before he denied the thought and came to a conclusion that since Stark was dead, she just wanted to get her own armoured suit and use it to help her steal and perhaps evade anyone pursuing her.
His thoughts were cut off by his symbiote partner.
"We got company." The venom symbiote warned.
Peter looked towards the door and saw 6 S.H.I.E.L.D agents standing on the other side of his cell. Sitting up on his bed, Peter watched as one agent opened the door, and the other agents brought out collapsible shields and stun batons. The agent who opened the door then held out a pair of power dampening cuffs.
"Spiderman, you are to come with us." The agent ordered. "Comd quietly, or we will use force." He said, offering a choice to the wallcrawler.
Peter, at the slight insistence of venom, decided to have a little fun and looked up in thought. seemingly, I thought about his choices, Peter smirked before abruptly standing up and rushing towards the agent with the power dampening cuffs and stood inches from the S.H.I.E.L.D employer, frightening him a little and causing the other agents to tense and get ready for a fight. It's a tense standstill between the hero and the secret agents before Peter lets out a small huff of laughter before bringing his arms out in front of him.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Spiderman questioned, and the S.H.I.E.L.D agent hesitantly places the power dampening cuffs on the wallcrawler and then gets behind him and stands aside and motions for Peter to start walking. The son of Richard and Mary obliges and begins walking forward, being surrounded by the agents with their shields and batons with the non weapon carrying agent leading the group to their destination.
As they go through the many halls of the triskellion, Peter glances at the many cells that litter them and can't help but frown at seeing innocent people locked up, looking hopeless and giving up.
'I'll break you all out. I promise.' Spiderman mentally promised.
Eventually, he spotted Black Widow and Captain Marvel conversing amongst each other before they paused their talk and turned their attention to Spiderman. Carol narrowed her eyes before walking towards the spider totem and his armed escorts, who stopped upon seeing her approach.
"What's going on here?" Carol danvers asked, her tone commanding.
"We're not at liberty to say ma'am." The lead S.H.I.E.L.D agent answered,
Sternly before slightly sweating at Ms Marvel's eyes, flash gold.
"Are you sure about that agent?" The blonde heroine asked, her tone monotone, causing the agent to slightly clear his throat.
"A-apologies ma'am." The agent said before amending his previous answer to her first question. "Mr. Fantastic has requested Spiderman to be taken to an interragtion room." He explained, making Spiderman raise an eyebrow in interest.
'What the hell could Reed be up to?' The hero wondered, his question being unknowingly echoed by the blond heroine.
"Is there a reason why?" Ms. Marvel asked, curious about why one of the co leaders wanted to take Spiderman to an interrogation room.
"Unknown ma'am, he wouldn't tell us." The agent answered honestly, even he didn't know the new leader of S.H.I.E.L.D wanted to speak to the webhead.
"I see." Ms Marvel said, more to herself than to the agent.
It is at this point that Black Widow stopped listening from a distance and walked up to the group of agents.
"At ease agents, Ms marvel and I will take spiderman." Black widow ordered.
"Ma'am?" The agent questioned, unsure about following the order.
"That wasn't a request agent." The redhead coldly replied. "We'll take it from here. Send the location to my communicator, and we'll handle it." Natasha ordered once more.
"Yes, ma'am!" The agent quickly replied, snapping a salute before grabbing his mobile device and sending the location.
The agent then snapped one more salute before heading off to report to his commanding officer, followed by the other 5 agents who put away their stun batons and shields, leaving Ms marvel and black widow to gently grab each of Spiderman's arms and leading him to the interrogation room by taking an elevator to the correct floor. The trio stood in silence, waiting for someone to break the silence. Peter decided to be the one to break it.
"So, how's everything going, ladies?" Peter asked.
"About as well as we can be all things considered." Ms Marvel said
"You have any ideas why I'm being sent to an interrogation room?" Peter asked, hoping for some kind of insight as to what might possibly happen.
"Don't know." Black widow answered this time. "You're not hiding any information, are you?" The redhead asked, her eyes narrowed on the wallcrawler who only shook his head.
"Nope, I've got nothing. Haven't spoken to Cap or anyone since I killed stark." Spiderman replied calmly.
"Maybe Reed thinks that you know something about the third party in this war." Carol danvers suggested.
"There's a third party?" Peter asked, surprised.
"Yes. They've made themselves enemies of the pro registration. They've even been using your spider symbol." Natasha advised the hero from Queens, shocking the spider hero.
"Awww, look at that. You have fans, Parker." Venom cooed in his hosts mind, creating the mental image of its smiling face in Peter's mind.
"Oh, shut up." Peter told the symbiote, only getting a chuckle followed by silence.
"Well, I won't be able to help with that. I didn't know there was a 3rd group until you guys told me." Spiderman explained.
"Well, you better tell that to Richards." Black widow said.
"Although I doubt he'll accept that answer." Carol added, getting romanov to ponder danvers' sentence before nodding her head, her face becoming sour, something that peter noticed.
"Is there something I should know?" The hero from Queens asked as the elevator reached it's floor and the doors opened, allowing the trio to continue their trek to the interrogation room.
"Richards has been acting different." Romanoff began, catching not only Peter's, but Carol's interest as she was wondering what the spy was talking about. "During the attack on the tower, black cat hit him with a unibeam blast. He practically got enveloped by it and hit his pretty hard after crashing through a couple of walls. Ever since then, he's been quick to anger, caused a few arguments with some people, and has even butted heads with pym over a few things." Natasha explained, as they turned right to another hallway. "He's also apparently gotten into a lot of arguments with his wife, most of them in front of his children." She further added, making Peter wince. Seeing your family argue with each other was never a nice sight, he should know, he's had to stop some arguments from parents who were close to getting into a physical confrontation in front of their children.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to wait and see what will happen when I run into him." Peter said, the conversation now ending and the 3 going back to being quiet.
After a few more minutes of walking, they eventually reached the room they were meant to be at. Black widow unlocks the door, revealing a room being lit by one light, a table was in the centre and 2 chairs, one on each side of the table, your basic interrogation room.
Spiderman wordlessly walks inside and takes a seat, putting his cuffed hands on the table and looks to the right, to see a one way mirror before discreetly looking to the top right to spot a camera looking in his general direction.
"The interrogator will be here soon, Spiderman, so wait there and no funny business." Natasha ordered sternly, making Peter mock gasp.
"But Miss romanoff, I would never do such a thing." Peter said, putting his hands on his chest as if physically struck.
This earned the upwards twitching of the black widows' lips and a snort escaping the kree hybrid.
"Behave spider." Carol said before she and widow walked out of the interrogation room and closed the door, leaving Spiderman alone in the silence of the interrogation room.
Well, not really alone.
"So what now?" Venom asked. "Because we're getting really sick and tired of staring at the same walls, and it's gonna slowly drive us insane. We do not want us to end up like carnage." The symbiote said, letting its thoughts be known about their current predicament.
"I don't like it anymore than you do. Once we do what we need to, we can then make our great escape. We just need to hold out a little longer." Peter said to his symbiote
"And how long is that exactly?" The klyntar asked its host, slightly annoyed.
"Well-" spidey began before he cut himself off. Straining his ears as he suddenly heard voices on the other side of the door. From what he could hear, it sounded like Mr. Fantastic and Maria Hill were having a heated conversation. He couldn't quite tell what it was about, but if Spiderman had to guess, it could be either about Reed and Hank taking S.H.I.E.L.D from her and running it into the ground, or the other could be about this third group that joined the civil war causing more trouble.
Eventually, the voices subsided, and the door opened to reveal Mr. Fantastic. Parker could hear footsteps echoing further and further away, indicating that Hill had walked away.
"Hello, Peter." Reed greeted, his voice calm and collected.
"Hello, Reed." Peter greeted back. Noticing, once the door closed, Reed didn't bother approaching coming closer to take a seat and stayed in the shadows. "Don't you want to sit down?" Spidey asked, his symbiote enhanced spidey sense suddenly going off, and he tensed ever so slightly as he caught Reed tensing and his hands clenching and enlarging before the leader of the fantastic four took a break and relaxed.
"Yes..." Reed began. "I suppose it's best that the 2 of us actually speak face...."
"To face..." The scarred Reed Richards said.
Peter wordlessly stared at the scarred face of the hero, trying to comprehend what happened to his former ally and the best way to describe the sight in front of him.
Venom seemed to have summed it up perfectly, though.
"Well ain't he an ugly motherfucker." Venom rumbled to his host.
Yep, summed it up perfectly.
A/N: Right, another chapter done. There's not much to say other than spidey will be free (hopefully) soon and that we will finally see the members of the 3rd party in this civil war.
A/N: Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter. Feel free to leave a review and, as always.....PEACE✌️✌️
