New York
Arthur flew in Spectre form through the city, covering himself in white energy.
«Help... - he suddenly heard, causing him to stop.
«What?" the silver-haired man looked around, then picked at his ear.
Right after that, there was an explosion. The explosion was in a bank, a few metres away. Evans flew towards the can and immediately dodged the sound wave.
«Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Spectre himself has come for our souls! - A screaming Mimi appeared out of the smoke.
«Prepare to die! - Beetle flew out of the smoke and started firing lasers and missiles.
Arthur created a wall of black energy, destroying the lasers and missiles.
«Yeah... Anyone I thought I'd see, but not low-grade villains with a screaming name..... - he said.
«Who are you calling low-grade?! - Suddenly a giant hand burst out of the window in front of him.
Evans dodged the arm, but was hit by a laser blast from Moonstone. The paratrooper crashed straight into the wall, breaking through it. He stood up afterwards, crunching his neck.
«Bastard... - The silver-haired man spat blood to the side.
«Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! We made Spectre himself fall! - shouted Mimi.
«Jesus... What a nasty voice... - Arthur said, covering his ears.
«What?! Don't you dare say Mimi's voice is disgusting! - Fixer suddenly came out of the smoke and opened fire.
«Eh... - Spectre once again raised a wall of black energy.
After that, a Goliath in a giant form came out of the building, breaking through the wall.
«Uh-oh... - Arthur said, then flew out from under the giant's impact.
He then shot clots of white energy at Beetle. With that, Evans hit the eyes and the places where its arms bent. Spectre then got in front of Goliath's face and punched him with his fist. The giant began to shrink backwards and the hitman grabbed him by the forearm before hurling him at Moonstone, thus nailing them to the ground. Mimi, on the other hand, aimed a sound wave at him. The silver-haired man dodged it and suddenly looked away, as if sensing a call.
«What the...? - He asked, after which he dodged Fixer's shots.
Abruptly in Spectre's chest, a fractal lit up through his suit and energy covered him. The silver-haired man found himself facing the two villains and swung his arms. Fixer and Mimi were covered in asphalt. To Mimi, he covered his mouth. After that, the light disappeared and Fractall faded out.
«I'm sorry, but I don't have time for you," Spectre said, and then chained the others to the asphalt. - You should be a hero, you'd be more useful.
Evans flew to the call. He looked at his fractal, which began to glow. The light only grew brighter as he moved. The silver-haired so flew to the most unexpected place and not a particularly desirable one.
«'Oh, you're racing...' - said Arthur.
He flew to the sea.
«Don't tell me that the fractal is at the bottom of the sea..." said Arthur. - said popadanets, then took out his fractal and looking at it began to drive in front of him. In one direction the shard of the sword of eternity shone stronger. - Fucking hell and what am I supposed to do...? There's Attuma at the bottom of the sea.....
Arthur hovered in the air and began to think.
«There's no one to go to..... - he said. - What if... - Evans looked up at the Avengers' tower.
Spectre tried to imagine what might happen, and was horrified and changed his mind. Then he looked towards Stark Industries.
«No. He'll want to take it for himself... - he sighed.
There was only one option left. Evans scratched his nose, looking at Hallikerrier.
«Shall we risk it? - he asked, then sighed. - I was.
After that Arthur flew to the base of S.I.T.A. But the flight didn't last long, because of the explosion.
«I don't get it. - Spectrum flew into the noise.
But when he got close enough, he dodged a giant yellow energy beam.
«What the hell is that?! - the silver-haired man asked, raising his glasses.
The city's been wrecked by the Destroyer's armour. Evans' jaw dropped open.
«Where did that thing come from? - he asked.
With that, the armour noticed him. Arthur turned pale, then began to dodge its beam.
«Mother of my woman! Get off me, Uru piece of shit, what have I and the humans done to you that you're trashing the city! - Spectre asked, flying away from the beam but getting closer to Asgard's main weapon.
When he was close enough, he launched two beams of different energies at the Destroyer, which exploded on contact, shattering the armour. Then the Destroyer was suddenly in front of him, grabbing him by his arms and torso. The silver-haired man began trying to break free, while the Destroyer prepared to fire.
«Goodbye life... It wasn't a long one... - Arthur prayed.
True to form, a second before the shot was fired, someone hit the destroyer, causing it to shoot to the side and let go of Spectre. Evans immediately looked up at his saviour, holding the back of his head.
«Brave for a mortal to fight with the weapons of the gods," said the Asgardian warrior and Thor's sister Angela, standing in front of him.
«Well, thank you for the rescue and perhaps the compliment, but my duty compels me to fight all sorts of wickedness," Arthur replied, and then looked towards the Destroyer.
He was preparing to shoot Angel. Evans quickly flew at her, taking her on his shoulder, saving her from the beam.
«Now we're even," Arthur replied.
«Thank you," she said. - My name is Angela.
«Can I ask you a question, how did your Asgardian iron end up here? - he asked.
«Well. It just happened. - Sister Thor didn't have time to finish before Spectre put up a block of black energy, stopping the Destroyer's beam.
«Okay, I'll hear all about it later, but right now we have to defeat this pipsqueak," Spectre replied.
«What did you call the Destroyer?
«Let's drop it, hit him! - shouted Arthur.
Angela then got in front of the armour and struck it with her sword, knocking it back. After that Evans flew up and started to shackle the armour to the pavement, but it was pulling away.
«Okay, I haven't tried it of course... But I'll try to use this," he swung to hit the armour and just before it made contact, he coated his hand with two kinds of energy.
The destroyer flew off, smashing through several walls of the building. There was smoke coming from Arthur's hand and when he settled down, the sleeve on the forearm of his suit was torn and burns were visible. Angela, on the other hand, was stunned.
«Now that was painful... - Evans said, holding up his hand.
«How does a mortal have that kind of strength...? - Thor's sister asked.
«What are you standing there for?! I'm not sure your Uru piece is going to fly off with one punch! - shouted Spectre.
Just then, the Destroyer rose from the rubble and walked towards them.
«Fucking hell... - said Arthur.
Suddenly the Destroyer was thrown aside by some unknown object. Arthur and Angela looked over and saw Thor landing.
«I see you're having fun here, aren't you? - asked the god of thunder.
«Holy shit... Thor... - said Spectre with a sagging jaw.
«Brother! shouted Angel.
«Hello, sister and Spectre - said the vigilante.
«This is... А... Sort of... This is this... Hello," the silver-haired man nodded.
«I'm sorry, Spectre, but this is Asgard's business, so we'll handle it ourselves from now on.
«On the one hand I kind of understand, but on the other hand I don't," Arthur replied.
With that, the Asgardians and Spectre dodged the Destroyer's shot. Odinson rose into the air.
«Only you will be destroyed today! - The blond struck the armour with a lightning bolt, but it didn't care.
«It's made of the same metal as your hammer! - Arthur shouted, and then began to look around, thinking of a plan.
At the moment his brain was moving very fast and the gears were turning. He snapped his fingers.
«Thor! Angela! I've got an idea! - shouted Spectre.
«Huh?" they were distracted by him.
«First send it into the air, then on signal strike again! - shouted Spectre.
«What are you up to, mortal? - Angela asked.
«The third thing that came to mind, he replied. - RUN!
Thor nodded and unravelled Mjolnir and lunged at the destroyer. He fired several shots at the Thunder God, but the beam never hit. Then the destroyer received a powerful hammer blow to the chin, causing the destroyer to take off. After that, it was followed by a couple of blows from Angela.
«Now! Together! - Shouted Spectre, and then together with Thor and Angela hit the Armour with all his might.
The Destroyer flew straight into the sea. Arthur, on the other hand, landed and created a seat for himself.
«Phew... - he exhaled.
«Good plan, worthy for defeating the Destroyer - said Odinson, starting to laugh.
«Yeah - nodded Evans.
«And what did you say about the third thing that came to mind...? - Angela asked.
«Huh? You mean that. Well, the first two ideas that came into my head were to destroy the destroyer completely, and the other was to send it into the ground a hundred kilometres down - he answered. - So I had to choose the best one.... And, by the way, how did this piece of iron escape from Asgard in the first place?
«It's a destroyer armour! - Angela shouted.
«Iron - still answered Spectre.
«Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Decent tenacity and straightforwardness - Thor patted him on the shoulder.
«You'll break it, I'm not the Hulk.... - the silver-haired man rubbed his back.
«Sorry, I'll have to go to the bottom of the sea for the destroyer," said the god of thunder.
«Yeah, Attuma gets a big hammer blow for that," he replied.
«I will, don't worry," the blond smiled.
«Yeah... - Spectre said, and then he looked down at the shore.
To his surprise he saw Lena there. She was sitting on some wooden box and drawing something in a sketch pad. And to Spectre's surprise he had time to notice that they were drawing... Him. He recognised the sketch, for it showed his battle with Hornet and Bansi. And it looked almost like a photograph.
«Wow. Well, I'm off, find out from my sister where we got the iron from," he said, and then he flew away in a flash.
But he didn't fly home, he hovered over Lena. The silver-haired man was behind her, looking at the album.
«Beautiful... - he said.
«А?! - Startled Lena, after which she tried to turn around..... But fell off the crate.
«Sorry - Spectre landed, holding out his hand to her.
As soon as Lena took his hand Spectre helped her up.
«You did beautifully. - He said picking up the notebook and holding it out to Lena.
«S-thank you. - She replied slightly embarrassed.
«I'm not an artist, but I know a little something about it," said Spectre, fixing his glasses. - I can do that too, can I? - He asked her for a pencil and a sheet of notebook.
«Yes, here - she held out the notebook.
After that, the hitman twirled the pencil in his hand and started sketching. After a couple of minutes he finished and held out the notepad and pencil.
«Not Picasso or Davinci, but he did his best, Spectre said.
He drew a portrait of Lena in pencil, where she was smiling. And when he gave the drawing to Lena she looked at the drawing with some surprise (if not shock).
«Wow... - She said quietly.
«Well, okay, I'll fly, be careful, don't run into any villains, I may not fly through - silver-haired pulled out of his pocket a piece of steel, which he clenched in his fist, covering it with white energy, and then held out the "shooting star".
Lena took it and the Spectre flew away.
***
As soon as Arthur got home, he went to his room and fell into bed, starting to think.
«Eh... So many problems... Although life without problems is not life... - he replied, and lay down on his stomach.
Then he remembered that Laura and the one with the claws could be the same person. Which meant that she was hardly his cousin.
«I'm being deceived... - he said, and then he lay back down again and stared at the ceiling.
***
Nick Fury sat at his desk and looked at the screen, which showed a sudden burst of energy. It didn't last long, but you could tell it was coming from the bottom of the sea.
«Something is happening there... - he said, and then the pictures of Spectre, Aria and Daisy appeared on the screen.
