Scarlet-Squad

Chapter 1

Co-Writer GreyKing46

We do not own these Marvel characters.

"Well that was a lot of stories we got through." Ghost sighed as they walked through the cinema of the multiverse.

"Yea. A lot of interesting ones." Grey nodded, following

"I'm glad you're letting me join you in this adventure." Weaver added. Weaver is the Grandmother of all Spiders, she is also the Guardian of The Web. Weaver has a shoulder length spider-web silver haired woman with tiger's eye coloured eyes, dressed in a mismatch of different era clothes: a red flannel shirt with light brown duster jacket and cowboy hat, blue working jeans, knee length leather musketeer boots and white tinted goggles around her neck atop a web motif bandana. She is beautiful with a kind motherly smile and DD-Cup breasts hidden behind her clothes and she sounds like Yubel from Yu-Gi-Oh GX.

"It's no problem. We'd like the company." Catherine answered to her sister-in-law.

"Plus we found this story a few weeks ago but never watched it. It's a treat for you." Luna smiled

"Really? Oh thank you." Weaver smiled "What's the plot?"

"It's a surprise, sis." Ghost answered as they approached the doors. "Ladies." He opened it politely

The three walked in, Weaver clearly excited

"Now let's begin the story. We don't want to spoil the story." Ghost smiled

"Fine." Weaver pouted as she sat down

*Start the story*

New York City, home of some of the greatest heroes in the world. But the one we're focusing on is coming in from JFK airport from Houston, Texas. He had short cut brown hair and hazel eyes while wearing a black tracksuit jumper and blue jeans and carrying a red carrier bag. 'Right...Where do I go now?' He thought before looking at his directions list. "Oh right...TAXI!" he called out

Not long after a Mercury Taxis cab pulled up "Need a lift mate?" The driver asked, he was a man with dark hair and eyes while wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.

"Yeah. This address." The first man answered handing over the directions to the taxi driver as he got in the car.

"Got it. I know the way." The driver answered

The man nodded, getting in the back

As they drove off, the man looked out to the city of New York. He wanted to get away from here, this was his brother's turf.

But... He was given a call. He was needed

He began to think back to that phone call.

*Flashback*

"Damn that was tough..." The man sighed getting through a window to an apartment, he was dressed in a Spider-Man like costume. It was predominantly red but with black shoulders, mask and fingers. As he took off the costume it was revealed to be the passenger in the taxi. He went over to the fridge and getting out a coke can, pressing it against his forehead to cool down while sitting in his chair.

That was when the phone went off.

"Hello?" He asked in exhaustion.

"Hello Mr Kaine Parker. We need the Scarlet Spider." A female voice said

"...Who is this?" The now named "Kaine" asked

"I'm with SHIELD. And I have need of your skills." The woman answered "You know me as Maria Hill."

"Maria Hill?...What do you want me to do?" He asked, feeling cautious

"... It is Norman Osborn." Was all she said

"... I'll be there tomorrow, email me the address." Was all Kaine said before he ended the call. Norman Osborn... The one who killed Ben Reilly

*Present Day*

"We're here." The driver spoke, pulling into the drive

"Thanks." Kaine answered handing over the money and got out.

He looked up at the SHIELD building.

Norman Osborn killed Ben Reilly... His brother... It was time for payback

As Kaine walked in he had that stare of a man who was willing to kill. But he headed inside to see Maria Hill. She knew what was going on and he didn't want to go in blind.

He saw a receptionist at a desk. It looked to be some female teenager playing on their phone

'...Really? THIS is who I'm greeted by?' He thought with disdain but then changed his tune when he saw her close up 'Wait...It...It can't be...' The look of the girl, her hair colour, her eyes...It couldn't be her...But...But it WAS. "Gwen...?"

The receptionist girl turned around and looked at Kaine with a small stumble and a smile "Oh sorry. Ahem. Yes, I'm Gwen." She nodded. She had blue eyes and short blonde hair with pink tips. "Gwen Poole. Nice to meet you."

Kaine just looked at her in shock, until he answered "Kaine...Kaine Parker..." He answered, this Gwen was different. She wasn't the one he knew in his heart but...He felt that connection.

"Nice to meet you. ...Are you feeling okay? You're kinda spacing out." Gwen spoke

"Yeah...Sorry...You um...You remind me of someone I used to know." Kaine answered "I'm here to see Maria Hill."

"Director Hill? Hang on...Err...Oh my notes." She spoke looking at her notes for the day. "Kaine Parker, REALLY important. Top floor. DON'T FORGET." She read off her handwriting "Okay... Oh Kaine Parker! Peter Parker's clone and the second Scarlet Spider!" Gwen suddenly gasped, slapping her forehead lightly "How did I forget that?!"

"Don't worry too much about it. You've never met me before." Kaine answered kindly...His heart still had feelings for a "Gwen" and this girl LOOKED like her...It was just hard making the distinction between Gwen Stacy and this new Gwen Poole. "Top floor; right?" He asked pointing upwards

"I need to go up to, I was waiting for you." The girl nodded, jumping over the desk and landing next to him "So I take it I remind you of Gwen Stacy." She said nonchalantly walking towards the elevator

"I-Yeah. Yeah you do...And it seems you show as much tact as Deadpool." Kaine answered as the doors opened

"I get that a lot." She answered

'And she seems to know every random bullshit thing that she should have no way of knowing just like Wade as well.' he thought, his eyebrow twitching at the elevator music

"How was Texas? That's where you live currently right?" Gwen asked

"I...It's fine." Kaine answered

Gwen hummed, her arms behind her back as she rocked backwards and forwards on her ankles

"So...Besides being a receptionist...What do you do here?" Kaine asked as they were half-way up the building to the top floor.

"Oh, I'm not a receptionist. I was called to see Maria to. She asked me to wait there and bring you up." Gwen smiled innocently, the girl clearly being about 16 to 18 Kaine wasn't 100% sure

"You weren't the receptionist? So WHY were you in the chair?" Kaine asked

"Bored." Gwen shrugged "This building is empty and I thought it would be cool."

"So the whole "While the boss is out, sit in his important chair and pretend to be him" thing?" Kaine asked

"Yep." She smiled

As the two reached the top floor, Kaine saw Maria Hill looking over the SHIELD agents and working on their missions. "Whoa...Upgraded since last time..."

"Ah, Kaine." Maria nodded, turning to him. Maria was a woman who seemed to have some Latin decent from her natural tan. She had short black hair and brown eyes with a curvy hourglass figure with a fairly large and toned ass and C/D cup breasts. She wore a skin tight black jumpsuit with the SHIELD logo on her shoulders, white gloves and white boots. She also had white straps and belts which, unfortunately, emphasised her figure more than the jumpsuit did alone

"Hey...What about me?" Gwen asked with a pout

"Of course, Ms Poole." Maria answered "Sorry about the wait. But follow me. I'll explain the mission." Maria spoke

The two nodded and followed her into a normal looking room

"What is this mission about?" Kaine frowned

"You'll find out soon enough." Maria said, closing the door... And then suddenly putting on a gas mask, gas filling the room extremely quickly

"GAH! F-Fuck!" Kaine shouted and coughed violently before

"Ooh...Dizzy..." Gwen fell to the floor

"G-Gwen..." Kaine reached out and then passed out.

*?*

"Urgh...Damn...Oh my...head..." Kaine groaned as he was now on a medical bed

"You're awake!" Gwen's voice smiled, a white masked face hovering over his face

"...Why do you look like HYDRA Bob?" Kaine asked as he saw through his mask lenses "And why do I have my mask on?" he groaned getting up

The face pouted, Kaine quick to realising it was Gwen Poole "I don't know." she frowned "I think they changed us before they put us in this room."

"Damn...Maria...Has got a lot of explaining to do..." He groaned

"...You're very buff..." Gwen blushed seeing him in his suit

"Well...yeah. Fighting bad guys DOES do that." Kaine answered

But then he heard some groaning. He sat up, looking around the room

Kaine and Gwen saw multiple people around them. All in costume. Most costumes he recognised, some were a bit fuzzy in his memory...But there were a couple of people who didn't NEED a mask, so Kaine got angry seeing those people.

"Oh...God...What hit me?" A woman's voice asked as she woke up. She was wearing white face makeup, a pair of white bunny ears, a blue tartan jacket with white gloves, a white bodice which held her curvy and C-Cup breasts; a pink bow-tie and fuzzy white boots. She was a natural strawberry blonde with blue eyes.

"Urgh...I'm gonna kill someone for this hangover...!" A male voice groaned next. It was...Wolverine! But...It wasn't Wolverine was dead. This was a second. He was wearing a mainly black costume with blue accents, large padded shoulder pads, kneecap-pads, arm guards and a bulky belt.

Plus this Wolverine's suit was sleeveless with tattoos on his arms

Others soon woke up. One was a man in a robotic scorpion like suit.

Another was a woman in a purple full body suit. Her arms, legs and bodice were purple with a purple domino mask; while the rest of her body was covered in a black costume. She had C-Cup breasts under her bodice.

Next was another woman, chalk white skin, save for a single black circle tattoo around her left eye. She was wearing a black body suit with several empty holsters and pouches, while holding back her B-Cup breasts. Her hair was short, black and unkempt.

Next was a full body costumed man, his costume was mainly black/blue, save for some white boots and gloves and a target shape on his mask's forehead.

Next was a woman, in a yellow and black costume, much like Hank Pym's Yellowjacket costume but it was made for this woman. She had B-Cup breasts behind this yellow and black costume.

"The hell?" Kaine grumbled, sitting up

"I dunno. But what are we going to do?" Gwen answered

"I'm not sure." Kaine answered "Him...?" Kaine asked as he saw him and got angry.

The person in question was a greying haired heavily built man; on his person was a black leather coat, black trousers and a modified large bullet resistant vest with a white skull over his chest down to his waist. "Ow...My head..."

"Punisher?" Gwen asked

"Oh...Did I get drunk, or did I get drunk?" Another female voice asked; this woman had long black hair, unnaturally white skin, a black diamond mark over her left eye, C-Cup breasts and black: bodice, gloves and boots.

"Quiet down..." A long red haired and blue skinned woman groaned, she was wearing a black body suit only exposing her head, though her D-Cup sized breasts made it a bit difficult.

"..." Kaine was silent, looking around the room and seeing who he knew

And lastly was a beautiful red haired woman with green eyes. She was curvaceous and had a D-Cup sized chest under a black suit and grey trousers. Her hair was unfurled and draped down her back and over her chest. She was beginning to come around from whatever knocked her out.

'Punisher, Wolverine, Mystique, Bullseye, Scorpion, Gwen obviously...Can't place the others. Maybe...They're old bad guys? And why does SHE look like Jean Grey?' He thought

The last thought was focused on the large chested red head 'Wait... I think the bunny girl is White Rabbit. I think Peter told me about her... And one of those girls look like one of the many hero identities that Hank Pym has had. And that black and purple armoured girl looks SIMILAR to the Beetle... But sexed up? Really? What, she planning on being on pin-up posters?'

"Whatcha thinkin'?" Gwenpool asked

"Putting names to faces." Kaine answered

"Oh..." Gwen nodded

"Grr...Spider?" Scorpion snarled, still dazed from the mist "I'm...I'm gonna...Urgh...I'm passing out..."

"Moron." Punisher commented "Didn't think you were back Scarlet."

"I was summoned. What about you Punisher?" Kaine asked

"SHIELD agents busted into my base and gassed me. I know most of these punks where locked up. No idea how they got the Wolverine wannabe." The war veteran replied

"I've still got my claws, you know!" Wolverine spoke, trying to unsheathe his claws...But couldn't something was blocking the exit on his knuckles and wrists. "The hell?"

"Oh calm down..." Shriek answered holding her head

"Who's she?" Kaine asked pointing to Domino

"The name is: Domino...I was on a job before I got the drop on...Someone gassed me and now I'm here..." Domino answered

"If we are following a trend then I bet it's SHIELD." Gwen shrugged although she clearly looked nervous to these trained/seasoned killers

"...Shit." The collective groaned

"Oh...Hmm...Where am I?" Madelyne asked as she rubbed her eyes

"Clearly some form of SHIELD holding facility." Shriek grumbled

"As per, us being duped into SHIELD's tricks." Beetle answered

"Oh...Ow...My neck..." Madelyne rubbed her neck

"You probably slept on it funny." Daken answered

"Shut it, reject son." The red haired woman frowned

"Reject Son?!" Daken snarled and leaped at her aiming to kill her but she just focused and stayed him

But nothing happened, the tattooed Wolverine charged... Only to be stopped by Punisher and Domino

"Calm down will ya?!" Domino snapped

"It's not worth it!" Punisher added

The Wolverine dressed guy growled and took a step back, spitting gently

Kaine sighed, rubbing the back of his head. 'What do we all have in common? Besides being killers?' he thought

"Are all of you awake?" A voice came from the speakers

"Huh? Maria?" Kaine wondered

"You KNOW that person?" Shriek snapped

"Maria Hill, head of SHIELD." Kaine nodded, Maria walking into the door

"Morning all." Maria spoke seriously...though it had that condescending joking tone.

"What do you want with us, Hill?" Punisher demanded an answer

"Simple. From now on, you work for me." Maria said simply, crossing her arms

"WE work for YOU?!" Domino got up in shock

"The hell are you talking about?" Scorpion snapped

"I take it you all have felt a strange tingle in the back of your necks? An itch you can't scratch?" Maria smirked almost evilly

"I thought it's because I slept funny on it." Madelyne commented rubbing her neck

"...Fuck. You did something didn't you?" Kaine glared

"You've all been injected with a nanite explosive that will detonate should any of you decide to cross me or jeopardise the mission I have planned for you." Maria spoke

"Explosive? What explosive?" Domino asked

"Allow me to demonstrate." Maria answered bringing an LMD into the room. An LMD stands for "Life Model Decoy" they're often used as replicas or stand in for people who need them. "This LMD has been fitted with the same explosive in the back of your necks. One wrong move and-" Maria spoke giving a demonstration.

The LMD's head was blown clean off, the fragments of the head scattered and the body fell to the floor.

"And who cares. I've got my healing factor. I'll heal back up." Daken retaliated

"We've accounted for healing factor individuals, Daken. And the nanites have been fitted with Carbonadium micro-shrapnel." Maria answered "I HIGHLY doubt you'll be able to get the pieces out, SHOULD you heal."

Daken flinched at that, rubbing his neck

"Besides the bomb has been set in the base of your spine. Set in a specific spot." Maria continued "If the bombs are detonated you'd be dead before you even knew what happened. And with your brain dead so I doubt you'd even be able to heal." She then threw a tablet at Kaine, who caught it easily

"The hell is this for?" Kaine asked

"That's the tablet that'll detonate the bombs. YOU are in charge of this Squad." Maria answered

"WHAT?!" the group shouted

"Hold on a freaking minute Maria! First you kidnap up, then you inject us with a bomb! NOW you're telling me I'M in charge of this motley crew?! And it's not even the good kind!" Kaine snapped

"You are not in charge. Well... Not really." Maria frowned "You are the field leader. You kill any member of the 'team' that disobeys or is a problem to the actual mission. I hold YOUR detonator as well as detonators for everyone. I have an overriding call."

"I...Damn it." Kaine snarled, pocketing the tablet

"Why does the SPIDER have to be in charge?! Why not me?" Scorpion demanded

"YOU are too unstable. Scarlet Spider is the only one of you who won't kill the others immediately and his moral compass is like his brother's. Any other questions?" Maria asked

"Any point?" Shriek asked expecting to be turned down immediately

"What's the "good kind" of a motley crew?" Gwenpool asked

"Mötley Crüe the rock band I imagine." Domino whispered

"I've got a question: What do WE get out of this?" White Rabbit asked

"You don't die. And your prison sentences will be reduced." Maria said simply "You see... SHIELD needs this. A team to go outside the law and take down the bad guys because the red tape holds us back. We need bad guys to kill worse guys. But do not get this wrong. Besides Scarlet Spider you are all murderers on some level and therefore will be out away once this mission is over."

"...I'm in." Beetle smiled under her mask

"What?!" the group snapped

"Why not? Kill the competition AND we get good deeds from it. Win-win." Beetle answered

"Well...I'm in too." Yellowjacket added

"You've been quiet." Shriek commented

"Sorry, I was just grasping the fact I have a BOMB IN MY NECK!" She snapped

"Oh yeah, bitch?" Shriek grinned itching for a fight

"AHEM!" Kaine spoke holding the tablet.

"Hmph!" the two turned their back on each other.

"Spider?" Maria asked him, wanting confirmation he was in

Kaine sighed "...Is the mission the same? Or was that some BS you fed me to get me here?"

"The mission is the same." Maria answered

"...I'm in. Just give me time to learn my team." Kaine answered

"Good." Maria answered "I'll brief you after you all get to know each other."

Kaine nodded in reply. Maria gave a small nod and left

"So..."Leader"...What do you want to know about us?" Yellowjacket asked

"Powers, strengths, weaknesses. That sort of stuff." Kaine answered

"What's the point of that?" Scorpion asked

"You die in the mission, you don't get years off your sentence, you don't see your families." Kaine listed off his thoughts with his fingers "We can't save your ass should your powers are decommissioned or something happens. How's that for a "point"?"

"...I only know a bit of martial arts and I'm human." White Rabbit turned pale at the concept of dying by being overrun...though with her makeup on it was difficult to tell.

"I will keep that in mind." Kaine nodded "Anyone else want to share?"

"I'm human, skills are: Weapons Specialist, Expert Pilot, mixed martial arts and special ops training." Punisher answered

"Enhanced durability and Marksmanship...Human." Bullseye added

"Mercenary mutant and luck manipulation." Domino answered

"Clone of Jean Grey. There...there are too many powers to list off." Madelyne answered

"So telekinesis and such." Kaine answered

The red head nodded at that before continuing "But I couldn't read that Maria woman's mind... And I cannot influence any of your minds or look beyond surface thoughts. It's like my powers are being limited."

"That's a relief...Wait a minute...You're not going to blurt out our thoughts are you?" Mystique thought

"No of course not." Madelyne answered

"Your turns." Kaine spoke pointing to the remaining girls

"Shapeshifting, resistance to toxins and enhanced physical attributes." Mystique answered

"Usage of Pym Particles, growing/shrinking, flight." Yellowjacket answered

"You know what powers I've got. There's no point." Scorpion snapped

"...We're waiting Scorpion. We're not leaving till ALL of us tell us what we've got." Kaine spoke

"Grr...Fine. Scorpion suit: acid tail, enhanced defences. Human. There, happy?" Scorpion answered

"Mutant; healing factor, bone claws, pheromone manipulation." Daken answered

"Pheromone manipulation?" Kaine and everyone else frowned. They knew stories of the likes of Purple Man and Mandrill

"...Now hang on. I'm not like those bastards. Sure I manipulate people, but I do NOT like that!" Daken answered "Plus my pheromones are not AS strong as them! They do simple things like increase aggression, make someone calmer, make them feel light headed to throw off their balance, make them cautious, increase fear! SMALL stuff! INSTINCT stuff!"

"Okay, okay. Calm down...Jeez...At each other's throats before we're on the streets." White Rabbit spoke trying to calm things down

"Well...I'm the last one. Spider-Powers: Spider-sense, enhanced abilities, natural webbing, wall crawling and something I call "The Mark of Kaine"." Kaine spoke

"What's that last one?" Mystique asked

"You'll find out when it's needed." Kaine answered

"What about her?" Punisher asked, pointing at Gwenpool

"Amateur mercenary with swords and guns. Human." Gwenpool smiled

"So, basically: you two are the weak links." Scorpion pointed to Gwen and White Rabbit

"Hey!" They snapped

"Wait... You're not related to Deadpool?" Kaine frowned

"Nope. No healing factor. 100% human." She answered

Everyone stared at her in disbelief

"How about I break your hand, see if you're lying?" Daken asked

"No, thank you!" Gwenpool flinched and hid behind Kaine.

"Not funny Daken." Kaine glared

"Just a suggestion." Daken answered

But everyone understood what that meant.

Her being so scared around everyone. Her attitude. What she said her 'kissed' where

She was a normal teenage girl trying to be an 'assassin' but she had no real skills, powers or training.

"...When we survive this mission, we'll train you. You AND White Rabbit." Kaine spoke

"Wait...Really?" Gwen asked

"Definitely." Kaine nodded

"Whoa-whoa-whoa...I'm not a teacher!" Daken snapped

Kaine frowned and showed the pad

"...Fine." Daken huffed and crossed his arms

"So...Are we both getting teachers?" White Rabbit asked

"Yes. Are we ready to go?" Kaine asked

The group each gave a nod, but some of them were less enthusiastic than others.

"Guess we're ready now." Kaine answered as the doors opened, letting the squad out.

This was the start of something insane. Something different. There is going to be bloodshed.
