Capture the Flag
A week has officially passed since Danny join the team and you were all now gathered at a paintball area. Why? Hell if you knew. Widow didn't explain anything but told you all to bring your combat gear. So, here you were. Widow had actually called in Cap and Spidey as well so the three heroes were going to overlook whatever was about to go down.
Widow: Alright kiddos, I figured since you all have successfully completed three missions, we should have some fun.
Spidey: Not a paintball war. That would be pretty cool though.
Widow: No. No paintball guns. Instead we will be breaking up into two groups and play a game of capture the flag.
Sam raised his hand.
Widow: Yes?
Sam: Who's the team captains?
Widow: That's what Spider-Man and Cap are here for. They will be picking the teams as well as the team leaders. The objective is simple, get the other team's flag.
Marvel raised her hand.
Widow: Yes?
Marvel: Are powers allowed?
Cap: Powers will be allowed though we ask you to try not to hurt each other too much.
Widow: Actually I'm glad you brought that up. Y/N.
You looked up.
Widow: You will only be allowed three powers.
Just three? But you have like 6!
Y/N: Just senses count? Cause I can't really turn that off.
Widow: Senses don't count.
Nice! Ok. If this is a combat situation then you might want that extra power. Strength, claws, and fire. Or, would Ice work better? No. Kitty and Viv can morph through solid objects. Fire it is.
Widow: Alright. Time to pick teams.
Peter stepped forward first.
Spidey: I want Miles!
Sam: Of course.
Miles shrugged and walked over to Spidey.
Cap: I'll take Riri.
Riri stuck her tongue out at Miles and walked over to Cap.
Spidey: Going for the brains huh? Alright then. I'll go for the brawn. Marvel.
Marvel cheered a bit and skipped right over. This went on for a bit longer until the teams were decided.
Team Spidey:
Miles, Marvel, Sam, Danny, and Kitty.
Team Cap:
Riri, Laura, Viv, Gwen, and you.
Y/N: I really got all girls huh?
Widow gave your team blue pieces of fabric which you tied to your arm. Gwen had her's on her ankle, Riri on her head, Laura around her belt loop, and Viv on her wrist. You were walked over by Cap to your team's side where he gave you the brief run down on the rules.
No flying to the other side.
No unnecessary violence.
Keep the swearing to a minimum.
Keep it above the belt if possible.
Don't kill each other.
Simple enough.
Cap: Now I'm supposed to assign a team leader. Looks like it'll be you Y/N.
Y/N: Me? Isn't literally anyone else better qualified?
Cap just crossed his arms with a smile.
Cap: I'm curious. After all, you did beat the Wrecking Crew on your own before you even knew how to use your powers.
You smiled at the praise like a child getting candy. You turned back to your team and placed your hands on your hips. On the table was a map of the arena.
Y/N: Alright. Well, if this is accurate, then we can make a path by going around. Of course we'll need a distraction. Riri, Laura, and Gwen, you girls will head straight to the enemy and provide that distraction while me and Viv sneak around to the flag.
Riri: How did you come up with this plan so fast?
You blushed a bit as you scratched your cheek.
Y/N: T-TV.
All: Of course.
You lowered your head.
Y/N: It can still work.
--------
After the 15 minutes for preparation was up, Widow sounded the alarm to signal the game starting. The plan was a simple one. The three girls will force the other team into a fight while you and Viv snuck around to the left. You will be in charge of dealing with any strays that showed up. Viv was designated as the "flag grabber".
Y/N: I really hope we don't run into Danny or Marvel.
The three attackers ran, swung, and flew into action as you and Viv started on your way through the side. So far so good. The arena was an interesting layout. It had a few mock buildings and towers as well as one three story building. It also had plenty of cover and even a trench area. Plenty of environment to play around in.
Y/N: Any hostiles nearby?
Viv scanned the area.
Viv: Negative. There are four hostiles heading towards Riri, Gwen, and Laura.
Y/N: Four? Where's the fifth?
Viv scanned again.
Viv: Unable to find a fifth hostile.
Unable to find them? Who could that be? You decided to press on and the two of you rounded the corner just as an explosion erupted somewhere to your right. Must be Riri's rockets or Sam's blasts. At least the plan was working somewhat. Still, it was a pretty big area.
Y/N: How far is the flag?
Viv: 30 yards that way.
She pointed a bit to your right. 30 yards? Alright then. You turned to Viv.
Y/N: I'm going to go to that tower and see if I can spot the flag. Keep an eye out.
Viv: Copy.
You nodded and ran over to the tower that was nearby. You quickly made your way up and found yourself with a perfect view of the entire arena. You spotted your teammates engaged in the fight which looked like it could be going better. You then scanned the area for their flag. Bingo.
It was completely unguarded, just like yours. You also looked down to see if you could find a path to it without running into the fight.
Y/N: Perfect.
???: Not so quite.
You turned around as your body tingled just as Miles kicked you against the wooden railing. You recovered just I time for your senses to go off. You dodged a hit and tried to deliver a flaming kick. You missed and flew back a few feet. That explains why Viv didn't pick up a fifth signature. Miles laughed as he turned invisible.
Y/N: I really want that power.
Miles: Pretty neat huh?
Your senses went off but Miles was quicker. He swung from the roof and kicked you right through the wood. You were suddenly falling from the tower but you ignited your feet and kept yourself from hitting the ground. You turned to Viv.
Y/N: Go ahead. I'll hold him off.
Viv: Copy.
She flew off towards the flag's location while Miles swung down to meet you. He moved to try and catch Viv but you stopped him by firing off a fire ball near him.
Y/N: This is our fight.
Miles got into a fighting stance and bounced a bit.
Miles: Alright then.
You ignited your hands and moved in to attack but Miles leaped over you and fired off webs which covered your hands. You popped your claws out instead which broke through the webbing. Miles simply dodged your attack and stuck on a nearby wall.
Miles: Alright then. Let's get serious.
Your senses went off but Miles turned invisible just as he touched your shoulder. You felt a jolt of electricity spread through your body and suddenly you were flying back. You crashed through a wooden wall.
Y/N: Can I not get thrown through a wall for FIVE MINUTES?!
You jumped back up and ignited your hands enough to burn away the webs. Miles chuckled as he continued to toy with you.
Miles: Too slow Y/N. What's the matter? Can't touch this?
Y/N: Not that I would even want to. Now stay still so I can smash you like the bug you are.
Miles and you began to laugh as he swung away. You gave chase with your firy feet and the two of you ended up in the three story building. Of course it was bare in the inside but that only gave the two of you enough room to mess around with. You decided to use your strength to bounce and leap off the walls while Miles continued to avoid you the best he could.
Miles: It kinda blows that we both have Spidey Sense! We can't even land any hits!
Y/N: I know! Maybe I just need to move faster!
You began to up the speed by using even more strength but Miles just moved faster as well. You suddenly felt something weird. It was like your whole body was vibrating. Not in a sense kind of way either. This was more like what Miles did to you. You suddenly stopped leaping and looked at your fingertips.
Y/N: Miles, get out of here.
Miles: What?
He looked at you and saw that your were looking down at your hands. He got the memo and quickly leaped out of a nearby window just as your hands began to get coated by electricity. You tried to calm it down but instead it grew stronger. It kept expanding until it covered your whole body and then, BOOM!
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over to where the bolts of electricity were coming from. Widow and Cap looked at each other while Peter grabbed his head.
Spidey: He can control electricity to?!
You collapsed to your knees once the electricity calmed down and returned to your body. New power, cool! You don't know how to control it, shit! You tried to bring it up again but you only got a few sparks. You focused the energy on your hand and got some more but you couldn't bring it out.
Y/N: Shit. Well, at least I got time to test it out later.
You stood back up and looked around. There was a massive hole above you that went through the other two floors. You could now see the blue sky. Actually, most of the building was gone.
Y/N: Ok. That was powerful.
You suddenly recalled what you were doing and quickly rushed out. Miles looked at you in awe as you ran past him and towards the flag. You eventually reached Viv, who was holding the flag with a smile on her face.
----------
Widow: Well done everyone. You all performed excellently.
Spidey: Even if we did have a shocking turn of events.
Everyone groaned.
Cap: Bad puns aside, congratulations on the winning team.
Marvel: You're only saying that cause it's your team.
Cap: Maybe. Spidey would have done the same.
Peter just grinned. Miles turned towards you.
Miles: So, new power. What's it like?
Y/N: I don't know. I can control it like the ice or the fire. When I try I only get a few sparks.
You gave it a shot again but the result was the same.
Widow: We'll have time to learn about it later. For now you guys can go play another game or we hang out at the main lounge. We have the place rented out all day.
Spidey: We thought it would take longer for some reason.
You were all excused to do whatever you wanted. You moved away a bit to try to control your electricity but still had no luck.
Y/N: Well son of a shit.
Viv: I do not belive that is the right wording.
You jumped at the android's voice and spun around to find her standing right in front of you. Like, right in front of you. A bit too close.
Y/N: H-hey Viv. Good work earlier.
Viv: Thank you. You did remarkably as well.
You just smiled awkwardly a bit while she just stood there.
Y/N: D-did you n-need something?
Viv: I would like to speak to you in private.
In private? Your mind suddenly flashed to the last time the two of you were "in private". You didn't want a repeat of that moment but you agreed to follow her regardless. The other decided to go another round with new teams.
Sam: Are you two not joining?
You pointed to the main lounge.
Y/N: We'll hop in on the next one. Just gonna take a breather.
Sam looked at you then at Viv and gave a suggestive face and a thumbs up. Marvel's eyes also suddenly had stars.
Marvel: A new story!
You chose to ignore them and followed Viv to the main lounge. Once the two of you were settled, you grabbed a Gatorade, Viv turned to you.
Viv: I have a request.
Y/N: No I'm not kissing you again.
Viv: That's a different request.
You didn't want to know.
Y/N: Alright. What's this request?
Viv: I want to aquire your assistance on a project.
A project?
Y/N: What project?
Viv: How to be a human.
You just about spat your Gatorade out. Was she asking you to teach her what it means to be human? Why the hell didn't she just ask anyone else?! You hardly even interacted with people up until a month ago!
Y/N: Uh, I'm curious. Why me?
Viv: You have suffered the most out of everyone in the program. I would like to aquire data with a individual who has experienced both hardships and accomplishments such as you have.
Oh. That explains a bit. As far as you knew, everyone knew their parents at least. If not then they had some kind of family to speak of. There was also the fact that you were practically on your own trying to survive the streets.
Viv: Those who have struggled the most know what it truly means to be human. By father told me that.
Y/N: So you want my help because you think I know what it means to be a human best?
Viv: Correct.
You had to smile at that. It was a bit harsh but it was true.
Y/N: Alright. I guess I can teach you how to be human.
Viv: Not just that. I want to teach me how to be a human teenager.
Y/N: That might be a bit harder. I'm still down though.
Viv held out her hand and you shook it.
Viv: The deal has been sealed as they say.
Y/N: Do they?
Viv: I have been told. Now I have a second request.
Another one?
Y/N: Go ahead.
You began to take a drink of your Gatorade.
Viv: Kitty has showed me a interesting concept on the internet. She referred to it as porn and I would like to learn more regarding the acts which were displayed.
Y/N: What's porn?
Viv: My data reports that porn is where two or more parties engage in sexual acts and are recorded.
Now you spat out your Gatorade.
Viv: Can you teach me....
Y/N: NO!
