House Evans
Arthur and Laura stood in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing their teeth with mugs in their hands to rinse their mouths. They were wearing black t-shirts, jeans and slippers. Then they rinsed their mouths and spit. From the outside it looked like they were identical twins. Then "brother" and "sister" went into the kitchen and sat down with sleepy faces. Aria grinned when she saw them.
«What? - they asked in sync.
«'No, nothing,' she replied, setting down mugs of tea and coffee. Laura had a mug with her character from Aria's game and a latte, and Arthur had his jester and a mattya tea.
They started drinking. Then the hitman's mother set out plates of food. On them was omuraisu. The schoolchildren began to eat with both cheeks. When they had eaten, they went to put on their shoes and get dressed. Evans put on a white hoodie while his sister put on a jacket. They grabbed their bags and headed out.
***
Arthur and Laura walked towards the school, sipping soda from cups. When they finished they threw it in the trash can, which was three steps away.
«Three-pointer, said Arthur.
«Wasn't it a two-pointer? - Laura asked.
«What's the difference? - he asked.
«'Well, yeah... Okay, let's go, bro? - she asked.
«Yeah," Evans replied.
After that, they walked into the school grounds.
«Arthur! - they heard and turned round.
A beautiful girl with blonde wavy hair, fair skin and brown eyes was running towards them. She had a hoop in her hair and was wearing a pink sleeveless shirt over a white shirt, a black short skirt and shoes. In her hand were three textbooks.
«Felicia, hi - the chestnut smiled.
«Hi, long time no talk, how are you? - The blonde asked.
«Yeah I can't complain.
«Good - she smiled.
Laura looked at both Arthur and Felicia.
«Arthur, who's that? - The dark brown-haired girl asked.
«Oh, Laura, this is Felicia, a friend of mine," Evans replied. - Felicia, meet my cousin Laura.
«Hi - said Hardy.
«Yeah, you too, Kinney said.
«Sister, what are you doing? - Arthur asked.
«No, nothing.
«Okay, I'll see you later. Evans moved on.
«Yeah, bye," Felicia smiled.
Laura followed her brother.
Class
Arthur and the rest of his classmates sat in the classroom. Laura was chatting with Gwen and Lena. Peter and Flash had come down with the flu and Harry had gone on holiday.
«Yeah... It's going to be a fun week," Evans said, exhaling.
Then the bell rang and everyone sat down. Then Mr Colson walked into the classroom.
«Hello guys, I'm here to introduce you to a new student," Phil said and then looked at the door. - Come on in.
A guy with medium black hair and not natural for a person with red eyes walked into the classroom, dressed in a red jacket, light jeans. Behind his back was a one-legged rucksack on his hand was a black and red watch something remotely resembling an epalvoch or fitness bracelet (In appearance and so ordinary watches). As he came closer to the man he looked at the class with a lifeless or aloof look. Arthur looked at him questioningly.
«'Introduce yourself,' Colson said.
«Kon'... Oh... Hello... I'm Leo Morris - the words were clumsy, the guy seemed to have trouble pronouncing the words as if he didn't know how to pronounce them.
«Japanese or something? - Arthur asked.
Then the dark-haired man turned to Colson and whispered in his own language and said everything he wanted to say.
«同志,あなたは英語に問題があります? (Dōshi, anata wa eigo ni mondai ga arimasu) - Arthur asked in Japanese to the surprise of everyone.
«コーソンさんこの男の子は誰ですか?(Kōson-san kono otokonoko wa daredesu ka?)- asked the principal ignoring the boy's words.
«これはアーサーです,彼は学校で最も賢い人と見なすことができます,少なくとも,成績はそれについて語っています.(Kore wa āsādesu, kare wa gakkō de mottomo kashikoi hito to minasu koto ga dekimasu, sukunakutomo gakunen wa sore ni tsuite hanashimasu.) - Colson replied.
«You're overpraising me...' replied Arthur.
«I'm telling it like it is, even though you're swimming in chemistry and social studies... - said the headmaster.
The brown-haired man made a sour face.
«Okay, have a seat, Leo," said Colson, pointing to a free desk right in front of Arthur.
Leo took a seat and then the teacher came in. The lesson started and Arthur was looking out the window with his hand on his head.
«Evans! - the teacher suddenly shouted.
«What's the matter...? - he asked.
«Stop counting clouds and get to the blackboard! - she shouted, pointing to the example.
«3x²y⁶ - Evans replied after a moment of looking at the example.
«You... Yes you are..." she glanced back and forth at the board, then at the trainee.
Arthur, on the other hand, hid behind Leo. But leaned slightly to the side.
***
In gym class the girls were doing gymnastics and the guys were playing basketball. Leo sat on the sidelines, ignoring the coach's shouts. Arthur noticed this and when he had the ball, he threw it at Morris. It was a bit of a struggle, but Leo reacted and kicked the ball away.
«Don't you like basketball? - Arthur asked, then tossed the ball with his foot and caught it with his hand.
The dark-haired man only looked at his hand and the spot where the ball had hit when he kicked it.
«You... do... this intend to? - he looked at Arthur with the same look he had given the class that time.
«Who knows? - Arthur asked, then gave him a pass. - Shall we play? He silently threw it back, then stood up and walked out of the gym, but no sooner had he opened the door than it was kicked in by the body of Spider-Man, to which Strange flew over worriedly.
«Spider-Man, are you all right? - asked the High Magician.
«I hit my head, but I'm fine," the spider sat down, holding his head.
Then the brainless from Dormammu burst into the hall.
«Oh you hedgehog... - said Arthur and while everyone was distracted ran away quietly.
«Okay, I'm sorry, fellow brainless, but I'm not going to let you break this school - the spider started shooting webs.
The Mindless began to break through the main weapon for now. Strange conjured chains that held the Mindless back. But then a portal opened and more golems came through.
«Oh, Shit..." said the spider.
Suddenly, however, Spectre broke through the wall and created an escape route.
«What are we waiting for? Who are we waiting for? - asked the silver-haired one to the other students.
They ran.
«Wait, where's Arthur! - Laura and Felicia asked.
«Who called me? The holy spirit? - asked the hero. - He's safe, let's hurry up.
Leo, on the other hand, sat behind the bleachers. The rest of the schoolchildren ran away.
«What happened? Where did the muzzies come from? - Arthur asked, landing next to the spider and the mage.
«Dormammu, Strange replied.
«A fire head, if I remember correctly, and an ugly face? - Spectre asked.
«'Yes,' replied the High Mage. - We need to hold out until I normalise the rifts in space.
«Okay, we'll figure something out," he said, and then he coated his fist with black energy and blew the heads off the mindless ones, sending a torch flying. - Thank goodness they're not flesh and blood.....
«Get on with it, Doctor, we'll hold them off," said Peter, and then began firing webs at the bastards.
The Doctor, on the other hand, started drawing magic circles, assembling hand seals. After a few brainless ones, one of them found Leo. He tried to grab it, but the creep's arm was blown away by black energy.
«What are you doing here?! - Spectre asked, and then smashed the oakman.
He was silent, but his expression showed surprise or fright, but before he could say anything he saw a hole in the wall, from which a magical beam flew out and knocked Spectrum into the wall, and the spider was grabbed by magical chains that emitted lightning.
«How unwise to weaken your defences, Strange," said Moreau, firing a couple of magic projectiles at him.
«Ouch... - the silver-haired man crouched down, crunching his neck. - Doctor, how soon is it going to be?! Give birth already!
«I can't, there's something in the way... Some big power source,' Strange replied.
«A power source? - Spectre asked, then noticed his fractal was glowing. - Evano how...?
Immediately after, the hitman hooked Moro's legs using a white kind of energy and flew towards the portal, taking a bottle of water.
«Cover me, I'll be back! - he shouted, flying into the portal.
«Spectre! - shouted Spider, breaking free of the chains.
«Who's the daredevil? - asked the Doctor.
«Don't get distracted! - Moreau began to conjure again.
Parker covered his mouth with webbing and pulled Leo down with webbing, saving him from the big guys' grip.
***
Arthur flew through the portal, looking around.
«Where are you, where are you, my fractal? Spectre has been looking for you..." Evans looked around.
Abruptly, brainless ones flew at him. The silver-haired man dodged them as best he could.
«Who are you?! - Suddenly a face of fire appeared before him.
«Me? I am but a humble hero, he replied.
«Bow down before Dormammu, you miserable mortal! - and then the Lich began firing magic.
«Ouch! - the fallen man began to dodge until he spotted a shard, Parisian said in this space. In shape it resembled a quarter ring in diameter, which would be about five centimetres. - You are my joy.
He then quickly walked over to the fractal, dodging Dormammu's attacks and placed the shard in the water.
«WHAT?! DON'T LAUGH! - Fire Face aimed a fire glowing magic at him.
Evans, on the other hand, hurriedly flew out of the portal.
***
Spectre literally flew out of the portal, covering his head. A stream of fire flew out, hitting Leo.
«AAAAH! - The flames began to enter his eyes and mouth.
Energy from the new fractal began to flow through the flames.
«Close it! - Arthur shouted.
The Face of Dormammu then appeared in the portal, but Strange closed the portal earlier. The fractal stopped emitting energy into the flames. Leo collapsed, his eyes burning with fire, his other arm covered in a full burn as if it were cracked, as if instead of muscle under the skin it were magma or lava and the skin itself a kind of earthy rock that floated on it.
«Shit! - Moro hurried to get away.
But suddenly a spider web bound him, and Spectre concreted his body up to his neck.
«"Fuck you," Evans said, then flew over to Leo. - Hey! You okay?
He wasn't even breathing.
«Fuck! - shouted Spectre, then started thinking fast. After a second, he hit him in the chest with his fist like a hammer.
Leo flinched a little and after a moment he inhaled. He started coughing, crouching down.
«Alive..." the spider crouched down.
«Well, yeah... Once a year and a stroke saves the day... - said Strange.
«'Well, that's about it,' Arthur replied. - How are you?
«Sick... Body burning! - Morris answered breathlessly, letting the steam out of his mouth.
«Be thankful you're alive, said Spectre.
«The heat... I can't bear to burn like hell - said the dark-haired man screaming in pain.
Then suddenly the fractal in the bottle glowed again and began to absorb some of the flame until Leo stopped screaming. The appearance, however, remained.
«Evano like... - Arthur said, examining the shard. - And you will be kind...
«What is this? - asked the doctor.
«It's nothing. A harmless pebble.... - replied Spectre, hurriedly hiding the bottle in one of his belt pockets.
«What was that? - Leo asked.
«Blew you away - he replied, then saw the aircraft carrier. - OH, S.H.I.T.... Well, I flew.
Just as he was about to fly out, Daisy jumped off on a cable just in front of a hole in the wall.
«Spectre, Spider-Man, Fury wants to see you, she said. - If you refuse, I'm allowed to detain you.
«Not in time. Late... - said Spectre.
«What do you need me for? - asked the spider.
«You'll find out from Fury, the agent replied.
The silver-haired man just sighed.
***
Spectre and the spider were sitting at the same table in the interrogation room eating donuts. There was a window to the left, beyond which was the lab where Leo was being examined.
«What's he going to be tho...? - Peter asked, munching on a donut with white icing and a sprinkle.
«Yeah, kinda new to the school, at least I have a good memory for faces - replied Spectre, munching on a caramel donut.
«I see... - he replied.
Just then, Fury entered the room. Both of them almost choked immediately.
«Greetings, heroes of the day - said Nick.
«Hi... - they answered at the same time.
«May I ask what happened to the guy? - he asked.
«It's... Fire flew at him and that's what happened to him - Spectre answered, then looked at the spider. - Yes, spider?
«Well, yes - replied Peter.
«I see... And who started the fire? - asked the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
«Well, that one, Dormammu, maybe because of that? - Evans asked.
«It could be, although Dr Connors will explain it to us in a moment.
«What? The Dr Connors? - Arthur and Peter asked at once, but then coughed sideways.
«Do you know him?
«Of course, he's a genius, said the silver-haired man.
«'He's a genius,' added the spider.
«Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, well, that's good to know," said a man with dark blond hair, fair skin and brown eyes. He was wearing a lab coat over a shirt, trousers and shoes. He had both hands so far.
«Mr Connors! - Shouted the two rookie heroes, before rising and bowing. - Hello!
«Hi - he smiled.
«Connors, what's up with our "patient"? - Nick asked.
«Well, let's say that his body was absorbed by the flame under the influence of some external factors, and now he became either an elemental or an ifrit.... - replied the professor.
«Yeah, an inferno according to Dante, said Arthur.
«Well, something like that... I suggest that he be monitored, but not locked away from the world in a cage, Connors said.
«If my vote is valid, I support this decision - said Spectre, raising his hand.
«So do I," said the spider.
«Well, all right, but for me to do you that favour, you'll have to do me another," said Fury.
«Oh, I don't want to have to sell my soul to the devil," said Arthur. - said Arthur.
«Can he make-? - asked the spider.
«I hope not.
«So, a few days ago there was detected a burst of energy at the bottom of the sea, and for this mission I want to use you - Fury pointed at Arthur and Peter.
They looked up, then looked back at each other.
«Do we have a choice? - Spidey asked.
«I think not - answered Spectre.
«We agree - said the two.
Fury only smiled, and it was not a kind smile. The two heroes just sighed, lowering their heads.
