Tick*
Water dripped from the crack of the roof as Peter sneaked into the complex in the hope of finding the items that he gave away to Mysterio.
The radar showed he was near the items but his guts were telling him something was wrong. It was going too smooth and he couldn't shake off this ominous feeling.
" David! Focus, we can do this. As long as we can defeat in front of the public, Arthur will welcome us with open arms."
Mysterio laughed loudly while talking with a bald man, not noticing Peter who was hiding in the corner.
They chatted for a few moments before heading back to the room which gave him a chance to steal the items without any violence.
Peter slowly descended from the roof while picking up the items with a sigh of relief, but when he touched the items everything turned into light.
Clap*
" Oh, you are much smarter than I thought, Peter. I thought I was able to scam you but you didn't fall into my trap in the end like he predicted."
Mysterio clicked his tongue when he recalled Ross who was confident about his eyes.
" Give them back. They don't belong to you. You aren't worthy of such power."
Peter didn't back down as he tried to reason with him peacefully but Mysterio shook his head with a smile.
" You are too naive, Peter. The world isn't rainbow and flowers. Wake up and look around. You are wasting your power on such useless people instead of gaining the power and recognition that you deserve. After all, humans are all materialistic animals the same goes for Arthur and Tony who mentored you."
Mysterio shrugged his shoulders while putting on his helmet. Perhaps Peter felt anger after hearing insults from his idols, so he didn't try to negotiate anymore.
" Then, I will get them back and you are wrong."
The web aimed at his hands but it turned into light once again which meant he was set up by him.
" Oh, you are foolish to assume that I don't know about you. You are too inexperienced to fight against me."
Mysterio mocked Peter for being reckless despite having no practical plan to counter him.
Peter took a deep breath to calm down but before he could figure things out, he was sent flying by Mysterio as he saw himself being hit by concrete.
Then he saw Mysterio flying toward him with his suit, so he tried to web him but once again he failed.
Kugh*
Peter felt pain in his stomach as he saw blood out from his abdomen.
" Leave this place, Peter. I don't want to kill you. Otherwise, I will be in deep trouble. Besides, I am doing your job, so be grateful."
Hearing his words made me realize why Peter couldn't detect him because he was utilizing every resource in his arsenal unlike him who came here to steal.
" I won't let you go."
Peter tried to hold him down but he felt his vision was blurring due to blood loss. Thus, rendering him unconscious.
" Throw him to the cell."
Mysterio glanced at him with a cold face while instructing his men to put him on hold because he feared he might leak his secret to other heroes.
Meanwhile in the USA
Bang*
Magneto hit his table with clear rage in his eyes after hearing the government's announcement of limiting mutants. Not only they regard them as a threat to society, but they even openly showed their personnel to warn other people, including himself who was the leader of the mutant group.
" So, they want war after getting saved from us by Arthur."
He snorted at their remark while putting on his gauntlets to get ready to move.
" This is going to be interesting."
Toad and other mutants also showed similar reactions to him while preparing to head out.
On the other hand
Xavier school was in a mess due to opinion diversification about this new cure that included the leaders of the Xmen.
" This is our chance to get back into human society. Certainly, our power is useful but we can get more than one power from a different source like Eden."
Beast suggested curing some of themselves but Scott denied it with a stern face.
" Why would we do that? We are both heroes and guardians of humans and mutants. We need our power."
Scott shook his head with a serious face.
