There was a moment of silence before another voice filtered through Peter's com.

"Uh, nope, I got one, too." Percy said, sounding completely done with the whole thing already. "And since this is HYDRA and AIM's fucked up baby mess, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that everyone's got one, too."

"You'd be correct!" Deadpool chirped happily even as everyone else confirmed the demigod's statement. "What should we do, Baby Boy?"

Peter looked up from where he was staring at the bomb, staring off into space for a second as he processed the words being said to him. "Wait, what are you asking me for?"

Jessica groaned and the teen could practically hear her eye roll. "You're literally the smartest one here. Figure it out."

"That's not- Wait-" The teen didn't get to finish his sentence as the woman disconnected the line, leaving the rest of the team to offer him awkward reassurances.

Peter sighed, re-examining the bomb. It wasn't like the others could do much anyways, not with them having their own explosives to deal with. Aside from himself, the only one who could probably disable it would be Wade, seeing as he dimensional-hopped constantly and picked up a few tricks during his travels.

"Can everyone describe their bombs to me- Wait- Shit- DD, fuck."

"I know that I'm basically no help here but would it be helpful to know that the only electrical currents are in the clock itself? There's none going from the clock to the actual body of the bomb."

Peter frowned, going over what the man said. "Wait, if that's the case..." He re-examined the explosive once more, taking care of how the wires connected and crossed. "There's no explosive charge here. Guys?"

"It's a hollow box!" Danny reported cheerfully and the others responded with something similar except for one.

"Percy?" Peter's concern rose until he heard Percy's exasperated groan over the line as the man seemed to be demanding something of someone.

"Look, I'm not- Yeah, Petey? What's up?"

"Can you tell me about the bomb?"

There was a distinct pause before Percy spoke again, sounding like he was speaking through gritted teeth. "No. No, I cannot."

Peter's eyebrows rose and, judging from the fact that no one said anything for moment, they were surprised, too. "No? What do you mean, no?"

"Peter. I'm a demigod. If this is actually a bomb, I could probably set it off just by going near it."

"Shit." Everyone chorused over the line. "Want us to send you backup?" Luke suggested, knowing better than to just automatically send some to the son of Poseidon.

"No, I got this. Hey, you-" Percy seemed to grab something (or someone since it seemed like he was talking to them). "I need you to go to that bomb and tell me if it's real or not."

The person seemed to say something.

"I'm almost 85% sure it's not real."

"..."

"Yes, I know that's low considering the circumstances but just work with me here. Would you rather I kill you or a bomb?"

"..."

"Good choice. Yell if it's real or not and, if it's not, bring the box over. I wanna keep it."

Peter gaped to himself, eyes wide. "Did you just convince some random person to mess with a bomb? What did you do to those people there?"

"Nothing too bad- Hey, what's that?" Percy's voice cut off as he disconnected the com link, presumably so he could investigate whatever it was that he saw.

"Great." Peter nodded once. "Well, that's... Sort of handled. Anything weird going on at your guys' end?"

There was silence for a moment as everyone took in their surroundings before Danny spoke up. "Um... So how many people are actually in HYDRA?"

"They're Nazis, your honor." Matt responded cheekily, though he seemed caught off guard by something. "Hmm... I understand your question now."

"What? What is it?"

"Look out the window."

Peter walked over to it and peered out. He blanched, scrambling to grab his burner phone from the duffle bag he packed, dialing the first contact. "Hey, uh, about that backup?"

"How many of us do you need?" Came a male's voice from the other end.

"Everyone. This is an ambush. Send the clones to me."

"What about Eddie?"

Peter bit his lip as he thought, keeping his eyes on the HYDRA agents making their way inside. "If anyone can deal with them, it's Wade." Once he hung up, he tapped his com to talk to everyone else. "If anyone has backup, now would be a good time to call them."

"Double D," Wade began. "I'm sending my best girl over to you. We all know you have shit luck, so maybe she can cancel it out. Jones, Castle's inbound."

Jessica Jones groaned but confirmed that she understood, sounding like she was already dealing with her share of the HYDRA agents.

"Danny, I'm sending some people over to you." Percy spoke, surprising everyone. They didn't think he'd have any backup since he specifically stated that he was in no way bringing any other Avengers into their mess. "I figured you could do without people with guns. Just don't look their leader in the eyes. I called him out right before finals."

"Uh... Okay?" Danny sounded rightfully scared but he pushed his feelings to the side in order to focus. "How would I know who they are?"

"Trust me, you can't miss them. They're very... Bright."

Deadpool chimes in cheerfully. "Honey bunches, I'm sending the future man to you."

"Oo, nice. Alright, guys, let's clean house. Everyone have the flash drives Spidey gave us?" When everyone replied with affirmations, the demigod continued. "Alright, good luck everyone. Try not to kill too many people. It's a lot of paperwork."

With that, everyone cut the com connection, focusing on their own hoard of Nazis. According to Karen, the AI in Peter's suit, his backup was fifteen minutes away. He would have felt bad about calling them but he knew that they wouldn't have ever said no about beating the shit out of Nazis.

"Come on, guys!" Spider-Man taunted as flipped over a group of HYDRA agents. "I thought you were supposed to be good!" Despite his words, the villains didn't react like the other people he was used to fighting. In fact, they seemed to be aiming to immobilize him rather than kill him, which was interesting to say the least.

"Backup inbound." Karen, his AI, spoke once he had a chance to grab a breather from the villains.

Just as she said that, two more spider-men swung in, each with wildly different types of suits.

The first one was actually a young girl with a blood-red suit and a large white Spider-Man symbol on the front. She had white lining her hips and on the finger of her gloves, somehow not getting dirty despite the fighting she was doing. On the edges of her red boots was an LED light that glowed a soft light whenever she activated it, perfect for times where she might need to lead someone through the dark. The most defining feature of her suit was the fact that her long brown hair was hanging out and tied in a messy pony tail.

The second Spider-Man looked more like the original one except that his suit was primarily black with red on his fingers, along his shoulders and going down his ribs, and the bottom of his shoes. Red also appeared around the eyes of his mask and lined the spiderwebs that surrounded his symbol, which appeared to be spray-painted on. Occasionally, when he fired a web he sent shocks through it to incapacitate his enemies, something the original Spider-Man was not able to do without some form of technology.

"You called, Boss?" Spider-Woman asked cheekily as she flipped a man over her shoulder.

"Not your boss." Spider-Man protested as the HYDRA agents floundered a bit at the appearance of two more spider-men.

"You kind of are." The other Spider-Man said as he landed next to the two on a high surface, looking down at what was left of the villains. "I mean, you are the leader of the group."

Spidey looked over at him, somehow managing to convey the action of raising an eyebrow through his mask. "What about Venom? They're older."

Spider-Woman laughed, shaking her head. "If they were a part of the team, you wouldn't have sent them to Wade."

"They're a part of the team." Peter insisted. "They just... Need more training?"

"I've been a part of Team Spidey for a few weeks, dude." The other Spider-Man said (and, really, Spidey needed to find a nickname for him. This was ridiculous). "Spider-Woman even less. Venom's been around for much longer. Sure, they eat people's heads-"

"Period. End it there."

"But they haven't done that in a while. Honestly, I'm on V's side here."

Spidey threw his hands in the air, gesturing to the HYDRA agents to wait a moment. "Alright, fine, we'll discuss this later. I think we're a little busy here?" He gestured to the villains, who looked a bit nonplussed. "Thank you for waiting, it's greatly appreciated." He frowned, tilting his head. "But I need you to go to sleep now."

With a snap of Spider-Man's fingers, the other two spider-men took off like a shot, knocking out any HYDRA agent with careful precision. They were merciless and the other Spider-Man had even taken to kicking one agent on the ground, berating him for joining HYDRA and he threatened to tell his mother that he joined a Nazi organization. It was very effective.

"How is everyone doing?" Spider-Man asked after he tapped his com twice to establish contact with the others.

"These guys are awesome!" Danny exclaimed happily over the sounds of fighting. "They have bows! We're almost done here, Spidey. We just have some leftovers to deal with."

"Sounds good. Luke?"

"Piece of cake. I told you all they had nothin' on me. Their bullets didn't even tickle."

Peter grinned. "Lovely. Jones?"

"As much as I hate the guy, The Punisher is a wicked shot. We're all good. We just need a cleanup crew."

"I'll have Karen send one over once we're done getting information needed. Wade?"

"I love this guy! They eat heads, Baby Boy! It's awesome! We've unalived everyone here and Eddie only threw up twice."

"Because they're Nazis, I'll let it slide. Tell Eddie I'm proud of him. There should be nausea pills in your right pouch. Percy?"

There was a moment of silence before someone spoke. It was obvious that it was not the demigod since the man speaking had a deep and gruff voice. "The name's Cable and we found our human trafficking victims. They're all kids."

Spider-Man cursed quietly and the other two spider-men didn't even rag him for it as they had heard what was said. "Age range?"

"Six to twelve. I don't think any of them are enhanced but we're going to go through the paperwork here for any information."

"Okay and how's Percy? Why isn't he on the com?"

"We had a few more HYDRA agents to deal with than expected. Since Jackson is basically allergic to anyone under the age of fourteen, he volunteered to hold them off."

"That sounds reasonable. Matt, how you doing?" There was silence. "Matt?"

"Holyshitholyshitholyshit-" Matt's voice exploded over the com links, startling them all. It sounded as though he was running, sprinting with all his life if his heavy breathing was any indication. "We need fucking backup!"

"Status report now!" Wade barked over the line, sounding very much like the Special Forces military officer he used to be.

It took Matt a moment to catch his breath enough to answer but, when he did, their blood ran cold. "I got Fisk and a fucking titan on my ass! Someone give us some damn back up!"

Everyone was cursing now, Peter ordering the clones (as he fondly called them) to comb through the warehouse for any vital information as he went to Matt's location. Luke had reported that he was ten minutes away from the lawyer, the others chiming in with something similar.

"We need to buy Matt more time." Cable said gruffly, sounding as tired as everyone felt. "We need the big guns."

Wade, the previous Special Forces and a man older than appearance, was the one to call the shot. He was the only one they felt could. "Tell Percy it's go time."

There was a moment of silence (aside from Matt's end where it sounded like he was praying under his breath as he tried to escape Fisk and the titan) before an explosion rang from Cable and Percy's end.

"...He's been informed."
