Chapter 184
It was a tiger, or so it seemed. It stood on two legs, had black fur with yellow stripes and a yellow vest on it's back. It's body was rippling with muscles, it looked like it could bend steel with it's arms. It snarled as it's amber eyes leveled at me. It's claws were the size of my hand, it clicked as suddenly it leaped at us.
"Flame on!" Johnny yelled sending a fireball at the thing. The tiger thing was sent flying back and it yipped in pain. I tried to get back up but I quickly sent out a blast of bio-electricity at it, enough to knock a bull unconscious.
"How did you, did you obtain subject D's powers?" Richard asked amazed.
"Kind of," I nodded, "what was that thing?"
"One of Wyndham's side projects. A human animal hybrid strong enough to match Captain America's strength, but dumb, so very dumb."
"Ah guys, we got company," Johnny called out. I turned to see more animal hybrids poor into the lab, each standing on two legs. There was one that looked like a boar, one that looked like a horse and one that looked like a chiwawa. Obviously the last one frightened me the most.
"Alright then," I charged up my repulsors, "let's get cracking."
Johnny and I blasted through the animals like they were paper. Johnny burnt them enough to make them run away while I broke bones with my blasts and fists. I tied them all up with concret webbing, forcing them to stay jumbled up into the giant mess of flesh they were now.
I turned to Richard Parker and gave him a thumb's up, "told you we could handle it. Now come on! We got a job to do!"
Richard nodded blankly as we ran out of the lab and down the corridor. He took the lead, guiding us through the base. We passed by the security room, I stopped and broke open the open quickly with my decoder.
We walked inside and saw two guards aiming their guns at us. Two beams of fire from Johnny melted their guns and split kick from me knocked them out.
I went to the terminal and began to track the SHIELD agents and Cap's location. I found them all in the main hangar I had just cleared out, fighting the Sandman. They were losing, badly! Cap used the area around him to get an advantage, breaking open pipe lines to slow down the monster while Wolverine was just being battered around like a toy.
"Johnny you need to get there and help them, you're the only one who can!" I yelled back.
"On it!" Johnny yelled flaming on and flying off.
I began to move as well, "stay right here, I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?" Richard asked.
"Sandman, I'm going to stop him," I replied, having no clue how to actually do that. Maybe Cap had it right, use the water, could work.
"What no! You'll be killed!"
"Relax dad, I'll be fine," I told him, "I've dealt with him before."
"Not like this you haven't!" he pointed the Sandman's body, "he's lost control! Wyndham has given him full freedom, he's a monster Peter, one move and you're dead!"
"Well then any suggestions?" I asked.
Richard looked scared, I can't blame him. He thought for a moment before nodding, "yes actually, I do have one."
I blinked but followed him back into his lab. Luckily the animal hybrids were still trapped by my webbing. We went to his work station where he took out a metal box and opened it to reveal two gauntlets.
"I made them for Wyndham to control the thing if he ever got loose, but that never came. They produce a vibrational frequency that will alter the body composition of the Sandman, making him break apart like glass."
I picked up the gauntlets, they weren't that big, I couldn't fit them over my own. I cursed, I needed to make a choice now. I quickly took off my gauntlets and put on Richard's, I felt it hum in energy.
This felt familiar...the shocker, he used gloves like this didn't? Hm, have to look into that later.
I turned to Richard and nodded, "I'll be back soon," I tossed him my gauntlets, "keep them safe for me!"
I didn't wait for a reply as I ran into the main hangar. I saw Cap about to get smashed into red white and blue mush. "Cap!" I yelled, throwing my arms forward and activating the gloves, sending out vibrations strong enough to shatter Sandman's composition.
"WHAT?! NOO!" he looked at his hand and watched it melt away into nothing. The thing focused, tried to call the sand back to it, but failed. "HOW?!"
"It's way to complex for someone like you to understand sand boy," I cried out. Johnny came flying in and picked up Cap, putting him right next to me before circling around and bathing the monster in flames.
"Thanks for that Spider," Cap spat out a wad of sand, "do you have a way to take him down?"
"I think so," I pointed at the gloves.
"Right, then do it!"
I nodded and ran up to the Sandman, jumping around it, blasting out waves of the energy. I pinned down more and more of his sand, reducing his size. Johnny then came swooping down and blasted the thing with enough heat to make the rest of it's body into glass.
