Chapter 4 - How a spider ended up in Gotham part 4

 4

Meanwhile, in Wakanda, the rogue avengers were scattered throughout the city, unaware of the danger that was approaching. They were all dealing with their own demons and struggles, trying to find their place in the world after the fallout of the civil war.

 

Steve Rogers AKA captain America found himself going on reckless nearly self destructive missions to destroy any remaining HYDRA base or keeping Bucky company in Wakanda but it should really be called hiding in Wakanda. Steve was really struggling for all that he bickered with Tony, he really liked him and he regretted keeping secrets. If Steve had a second chance he would put his pride and control issues aside and talk to his friend. Not that he regretted protecting Bucky but if he had only talked to Tony, explained and may be tried to understand his side before the whole Siberia clusterfuck. Steve knew he screwed up with all his friends even Bucky instead of being honest. But as of right now Captain America finds him self disillusioned and guilty with only the belief for his mission to take out HYDRA and a little hope that one day he will have his whole team unified. Steve felt haunted by memories of his friends and the broken bonds of trust. These were the heavy thoughts that burdened Captain America's heart, as he faced an uncertain horizon.

 

Natasha Romanoff found herself holding onto every member of the team she could find, when she came out of one of her safe houses. Natasha always used the mask of being a Black widow to hide her feelings but in truth, she was hurt, caught between a war with those she considered family, not friends but family. This was Natasha's family something that she was willing to protect even if it meant destroying SHIELD, something she thought was lost ,a second chance. So Natasha couldn't pick a side because she so merit in each point , at the airport she thought they would have a sit down and talk but no, everybody had already picked a team. Romanoff couldn't believe the fight had ended up so badly with Rhodey being badly hurt and the rest of the family scattering in the wind but it's fine she could mend this, visit Clint at the farm house, show up at Tony's penthouse for a drink and discuss Ross and the accords , secretly check on Rhodey's health and then go to Wakanda to see Steve and the others may be even join a HYDRA destruction mission. Slowly by Slowly Natasha knew she could draw her family closer if she acted as a bridge. Natasha knew that right now the world was questioning their motives and methods but they just wanted to protect and keep them safe.

Wanda Maximoff lay awake, the echoes of the civil war reverberating through her mind like a relentless storm. The walls of her room felt like they were closing in, each memory a brick adding weight to her already burdened heart. She had fought alongside heroes, yet now, the word felt foreign on her tongue. The Avengers, her family by choice, were fractured - lines drawn and bonds broken. Her powers, once a source of pride, now seemed to her a wellspring of fear; what if she lost control again? What if next time, she couldn't stop the chaos swirling inside her? The weight of the lives lost, the destruction caused, it all bore down on her with the gravity of a black hole. She was frightened, not just of what she could do, but of what the world now saw when they looked at her - not a savior, but a harbinger of calamity.

 

Clint Barton was on his farm, an arrangement he has with SHEILD that was thankfully still a secret but not really, the Avengers knew about it which had had him wondering why Tony or Rhodey hadn't told the council about it. Heck even Natasha visited to see the kids and drag him out for some HYDRA destruction therapy. This had Clint holding onto a glimmer of hope. That the bonds formed within the Avengers were strained but not beyond repair. He believed in the resilience of his teammates and found family, the strength that unity brought them. The world had indeed seen them falter, yet it also provided a chance to rise stronger than before. Clint knew the road ahead would be challenging, but he was ready to face it with renewed determination and the belief that together, they could mend the fissures that had formed.

 

Sgt. James Buchanan "bucky" Barns, the Winter Soldier found himself grappling with a tumultuous storm of emotions. The echoes of battle still ring in his ears, a haunting reminder of the rift he tore through the bonds he had only just begun to forge. The weight of his past actions, once shrouded in the fog of mind control, now presses heavily upon his conscience. He is a man out of time, struggling to find his place in a world that has moved on without him. His thoughts are a whirlwind of regret and uncertainty, wondering if redemption is within reach or if he is destined to be haunted by the specter of the Winter Soldier forever. The path ahead is shrouded in shadow, each step an effort to distance himself from the turmoil that threatens to consume him. He is alone, a solitary figure in the vast expanse of a world that views him with fear and suspicion. The loneliness is a bitter chill, seeping into his bones and reminding him of all that he has lost. Yet, amidst the sorrow and solitude, there lies a glimmer of hope—a hope that one day he may find peace within himself and acceptance in the eyes of those he once called allies.

 

Sam Wilson sat alone in the dim light of his apartment, the weight of the world seemingly pressing down on his shoulders. The aftermath of the Avengers' civil war had left him with a heavy heart, filled with thoughts and worries that seemed to consume him. During the Avengers' Civil War, as a loyal friend to Steve, he was conflicted between his allegiance to his close comrade and the collective good of the Avengers. Wilson grappled with the moral complexities of the conflict, understanding both sides but ultimately standing by Steve's decision to oppose the Sokovia Accords. His professional military background informed his strategic approach to the situation, yet it was his personal bonds that guided his final stance. Now divided by conflict and ideology, the sense of unity he once shared with the team was shattered, leaving Sam to question his place in this new reality. The loneliness was palpable, a stark contrast to the camaraderie he once felt. Even when he got the chance to met the rest of the rogue avengers for some HYDRA base takedown. It just wasn't the same without the whole team there.

 

 But when Vision contacted them, they knew it was time to put aside their differences and unite against a common enemy.
