As the bullets came his way, Peter smirked under his mask and stood unmoving.
With a simple thought, every solid metal bullet was instantly changed into a foam nerf dart, which fell short of its target and hit the floor at Peter’s feet.
“?” Each Hydra Agent that just fired their weapons at Peter were utterly confused.
“That wasn’t very nice, but thanks for outing yourselves. It makes my job a bit easier.” Peter says as they try to shoot again...
Pulling their triggers, each Hydra operative watched with shock filled eyes as nothing but a weak stream of water shot from the barrel of their guns.
“Alright, enough fun and games. You're making a mess.” Peter says as he gestures to the wet floor. “Now line up against the wall like good little children.”
Everyone was completely dumbfounded by what just happened that a good portion of people actually followed his instruction and stood by the wall.
Suddenly, almost all of the outed Hydra agents bit down on something in their mouths.
“Nope.” Peter uttered as each of their cheeks expanded until confetti came flying out of their mouths. ”Suicide is never an option.”
All of them broke a fake tooth, which held enough cyanide to kill them in seconds, as all Hydra agents are brainwashed into doing when captured.
Sadly, Peter noticed and immediately used the Aether to turn the toxin into confetti, which they would spit out, saving their lives.
“Now against the wall, please. I don’t have all day.” Peter says as he motions toward the others.
“Y-Yes, sir...” Someone stuttered as everyone followed Peter's orders this time.
“Good.” Peter says as he webbed each of them against the wall. “I’ll be back.”
“Umm, sir?!” The woman from earlier calls out.
“What?” Peter asks as he turns back.
“I’m in charge of this base.” She says nervously. “If you want everyone to listen to you, I can help...”
“Sure.” Peter shrugs as the web holding her against the wall disappeared, sending the nervous Hydra agent/base commander tumbling to the floor. “Keep up.”
Scrambling to get to her feet, the woman rushed to catch up to Peter, who was already at the other end of the hallway.
...
With the base commanders help, Peter was able to capture everyone in around 20 minutes, saving him a lot of time.
If anyone was able to enter the building, they would find it littered with webbed-up Shield and Hydra personnel plastered on the walls.
As Peter finished up, he heard a voice in his ear.
“This is Charles. I’ve finished with my first location, though I may need assistance.” Professor Xavier called.
“I’m on the way.”
-Flashback-
-Charles POV-
Of course, Peter wasn’t the only one who tried the diplomatic approach, though he had much more success than Charles.
“He’s on the first floor! Go go go!” Armed agents were notified as they rushed to Charles’ location with assault rifles in hand.
Upon his arrival at this dimly lit underground bunker, Charles tried to explain just like Peter did, but they wouldn’t even give him a chance to talk before getting violent.
Of course, as the Professor didn’t like violence, he simply put them to sleep with thought and continued forward, hoping that the next group would listen.
Sadly, his actions were caught by the surveillance cameras, which started the situation he currently found himself in.
“He’s around the corner.” Agents matched one Charles’ location, ready to pump the unknown intruder full of lead.
Luckily, Charles could feel the presence of his enemies with ease as he casually walked through the underground hallways.
The second these armed Shield/Hydra agents turned the corner, ready to fire in the Professor's direction, each of them collapsed into a pile, leaving just enough room for Charles to pass by.
After repeating this over and over, Charles found himself in front of a locked metal door, which needed both a badge and facial scan to get through.
“Sigh...” Charles let out an annoyed breath as he lifted a nearby unconscious agent with his mind and slapped his face against the scanner.

The screen turned red as a robotic voice spoke negatively.
Tossing the man aside with a single thought, Charles levitated another limp body and planted their face against the scanner.

...
After four failures in a row, Charles found the right man and was able to open the door, though he didn’t like what he found on the other side.
Once all of the guards behind the door were sent to sleep, Charles walked in and found a long hallway filled with cells on either side.
In these cells were men, women, and children, though mainly children.
It didn’t take Charles long to realize what these people were.
Meta-Humans.
Seeing the horrible living conditions as well as the haggard and beaten states of some of them, Charles felt both pity and disgust.
Pity for the poor people who were subject to this and disgust toward those who held them here against their will.
‘No matter how much good the Avengers do, it feels like there will always be places like this...’ Charles thought dishearteningly.
Knowing that this was the last room in the bunker, Charles tapped a device in his ear and spoke.
“This is Charles. I’ve finished with my first location, though I may need assistance.” Professor Xavier spoke.
“I’m on the way.” Peter's voice replied.
-Flashback End-
Seconds after his reply, a portal opened up next to the Professor, and out came Spider-Man.
As Peter came walking in, everyone cowered at the back of their cells, while only one child held the bars of her cage and looked forward with eyes resembling a predator.
She looked to be around 8 or 9 years old with black hair and dark brown eyes. Although she could be seen as a cute kid, the deadly glare and killer aura that radiated off of her was covering that up very well.
[Insert picture of Laura Kinney/X-23 here]
‘She looks familiar...’ Peter thought as he realized why Charles needed help. “Are they all Meta-humans?”
“I think so...” Charles answers with a sad sigh.
“Alright, I’ll get them out of here.” Peter said as he opened another portal. “You can go to the next location.”
“Okay...” Charles sends one more sympathetic look toward his captured people before walking into the portal, which snapped shut soon after.
“Listen up!” Peter exclaims, getting everyone’s attention.
“Grrrrr...” The little predator at the bars started growling softly in his direction.
“Relax, I’m here to help.” Peter says as he walks over and yanks the door to her cell off with ease. “I’ll take you-”
Just as Peter was trying to explain that he would take them to the Professor's school, where they could be treated for any injuries, the rabid little girl launched out of her cell and jumped in his direction.
Watching her in amusement, Peter saw two bony claws extend from each fist before they came swiping in his direction.
‘Is she Wolverine's daughter?’ Peter wondered as he caught her outstretched wrist, stopping her attack with ease. “Being aggressive and defensive is good, as it can keep you alive, but I’m not here to hurt you. Calm down.”
The little girl in his grasp seemed to relax for a moment, though it didn’t last long.
Hoping to throw off her enemy, the young girl pretended to listen to Peter before using her free hand to stab her long claws into his stomach.
As the pointed tips of her claws made contact with Peter, the young girl smirked thinking she had won.
Sadly, unlike Wolverines, her claws were made of just bone. Sharp and pointy bone but bone nonetheless.
“Feel better?” Peter asks as he releases her wrists, allowing the girl to fall to her feet.
Thanks to the enchantments on his clothes, the girl's claws couldn’t even cut a single thread from his suit, let alone penetrate past it and into his stomach.
“Aggghh!” Angered by her failure, the animalistic girl starts slashing her claws at Peter's stomach and legs.
...
After allowing her to tire herself out, as her body wasn’t in the best condition, to begin with, Peter patted the angry child’s head as she panted to catch her breath.
“It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.” Peter reassured her as she looked up at him for a moment, studying his nonexistent facial features to see if he was lying.
As if confirming his words, the girl gave him a small nod before falling unconscious and crashing to the floor.
Of course, Peter caught her before she could get hurt and held her like a princess.
“Kids shouldn’t have to be like this...” Peter muttered as he turned to see all of the other meta-human children, cowering in their cages.
