The Search For Molly Concludes

[cute_hats]

There was a loud BOOM, which was quickly followed by a wall crumbling. The guards inside looked surprised and then terrified when they looked out and saw Iron Man descending from the sky, his hands held out from where he had just shot the volly that leveled the wall. Behind him Wolverine landed from jumping from a hovering aircraft and popped his

Spider-Man landed neatly in front of a metal door with a name placard that read "Molly Hayes" Without looking, he dodged backwards as a bullet went by where his head used to be. In the same motion, he stretched an arm out and shot webbing at the guard who'd come racing after him and gooped up his whole arm. Grabbing the line with his other hand for leverage, he swung the guard so that he slammed into the wall and got knocked out. Then he turned back to the door and tapped the name placard.

"Convenient. Obsessive compulsive bad guys make me happy. It makes things soooo much easier. Yikes!"

He leapt straight into the air as a ninja with a katana swipped at his legs from behind. In the air, he flipped so that he landed behind the ninja and lashed out with a kick. The ninja, of course, dodged off to the side and reassumed a stance facing Spider-Man.

"When did Weapon X get ninjas?! Man, I want a ninja! Seriously, I need to go to the Good Guy Headquarters and demand a raise so that I can afford ninjas. This just isn't fair."

The ninja didn't seem to care about Spider-Man's bantering and he began his attack again, lashing and stabbing at Spider-Man with his sword. Spider-Man dodged this way and that, throwing his own punches and kicks as he could.

And so the battle against a ninja for Molly's freedom commenced.

"Ninjas," Vanessa snorted. "Why is it always ninjas? Whatever happened to well trained soliders?"

"Mother?" one of the Six said, pausing in her duties.

"I wasn't talking to you, just indulging in a bit of monologuing." She wiggled her fingers in her daughter's general direction. "Bring me some tea. And tell the fat fool that I'm busy, when he calls. In fact... don't answer him. Let him stew for a while."

She knew she shouldn't be cheering for Spider-Man, but she was. Anyone who could defeat the Morlun deserved to be cheered. When all was said and done, she fully intended to make several clones of the arachnid based super-hero to act as her body guards. Just in case.

Ironically, Spider-Man was wonder just that same thing as he flipped and dodged around the ninja. A few nice, well trained soldiers would have been so much nicer and easier to dispatch, but nooo...he had to get the ninja. Ah well, that was what came with being the first to the target he guessed. Iron Man and Wolverine were probably getting all the fun well trained soldier extras. That would explain why, even several minutes later, he was the only one fighting the annoyingly hard to dispatch ninja.

"Seriously, could I get a little help here guys?" He said this to no one in particular, and predictably the ninja answered with another stab at him. "This isn't your average garden variety ninja here! What are you, a lieutenant ninja?" Stab. "Ack! No..um...a major ninja?" Stab. "Geez...I didn't mean any offense...a general ninja?" Swipe. "Okay okay, I give up. What are you, really?" Swipe, stab, slash. "Never mind, then..."

A giant laser blast came from the side and sent the ninja flying. No, seriously. This laser blast had to have been bigger than his head. Check that, it had to have been bigger than three of his heads. The ninja flew back, slammed into the wall, and slid down, his uniform charred in the front. Spider-Man glanced over his shoulder to see where it had come from, but he pretty much knew before he even looked.

"Stop playing with the ninjas, Spider-Man. We've got a job to do." Iron-Man stood in front of a wall that he had carved his way through.

Spider-Man tilted his head at Iron Man incredulously. "That looked like playing?! Man, I know you guys say I'm never serious, but now I have no idea how to be the kind of serious you want!"

Iron Man was already moving to the door. He looked at it for a few moments before saying, "Adamantium." Then he looked at the keypad. This would have to be a hacking job; they weren't getting throught that door. He started fiddling with the keypad until he was able to take it partially off. Then he began working in the wiring coming out of the wall. As he worked, the hall was eerily silent. Suddenly, Logan was standing behind them.

"Almost done, shiney?"

"Yes...is anyone coming?"

"Nope. Got rid of all of them."

Spider-Man looked up. "Now by 'got rid of', do you mean--"

"I stabbed them until they were dead."

"Oh."

"Got it." Iron Man stood back as the door slid open. Inside, Molly lay either sleeping or passed out on the cot. There was a pallor to her that didn't look good, but other than that she wasn't damaged in any visible way.

"Jesus, kid..." Wolverine growled. If he could kill all of the Weapon X goons again, he would

Spider-Man walked in and picked her up. "Alright, gentlemen...I think this is a big mission accomplished for us!"

"Let's get her and move out." Iron Man spoke into his wrist. "We're coming out, Spider-Woman. Be ready for us, alright?"

"Sure thing, Iron-Man."
