As Storm, Wolverine, and Sabertooth appeared before the whip-wielding maniac, they all jumped to do something different.
All of them have been trained to the standards of a low-level shield grunt, but never have they worked together in battle before.
Victor and Logan were the only two Avengers that have a long history of fighting as partners, but sadly Logan remembers none of it.
Though that chemistry they once had seemed to still be there, if only slightly, as both brothers rushed forward at the enemy in tandem. Logan's mind may have forgotten but his body seemed to retain some memory of its own. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
As the two brothers rushed at the enemy like angry bulls, Storm did what she does best.
Using the wind to carry her body up above and out of range of the enemy's whips, she spread her arms and the weather changed in an instant.
What was a clear and sunny day turned dark, cloudy, and windy at an abnormal rate. At this point, the thousands of people in attendance, who came to watch the races broke from their shock and started running to the exits. Screams were heard as they all evacuated in messy groups.
As this was happening, Logan and Victor began to close in on their opponent, claws out and feral grins on their faces.
"I'm not here for you!" Vanko says in a thick Russian accent. "Go away and bring me Tony Stark!"
With that said, Vanko winds a whip back and lashed out at both attackers, not noticing the swift change in weather up above him.
As the whip swung horizontally toward the two animalistic meta-humans, Logan dipped under while his brother jumped over, dodging the whip with ease.
Vanko saw this coming and already had his second whip ready to go, bringing it down on the brother that had nowhere to go, Sabertooth.
Victor took the high route and was now stuck in the air, unable to dodge. Logan was smart to simply duck under the first attack as he could still use the ground to maneuver his way around any follow up attacks.
Glancing up to see the second whip, which was falling vertically towards his newfound brother, Logan acted quickly and kicked off the grounds as well. Swinging his clawed hand, Logan went to cut the electrified whip and did so easily.
Sadly, the whip was in fact electrified and every bone in Wolverine's body, including his claws, was coated in metal.
As Logan's claws sunk into the whip, the current of power from Vankos arc reactor redirected its course. flowing down Logan's claws and into his body, spreading to every connected bone it could.
As the foreign electricity invaded Logan's entire body, he convulsed midair and fell to the floor with blood leaking out of every orifice of his body.
Though his efforts weren't in vain.
Logan managed to cut the whip before it touched his brother, saving Victor from his possible death. After all, Sabertooth's healing factor is nowhere near as good as Logan's.
Of course, Peter already knows all of this information thanks to his trusty ninja organization, but he won't volunteer any of it. He would rather keep the Hand a secret from his fellow Avengers.
At least, for now.
"Facial recognition confirmed, Ivan Vanko." Jarvis says after only a few seconds.
"Why does that sound familiar?" Tony asks with a questioning look.
"Wasn't Vanko the name alongside your fathers in the original arc reactor blueprints? From the box that Fury gave you, remember?" Peter drops a major hint, which causes Tony's eyes to widen in realization.
"Wasn't it Anton Vanko though?" Pepper says as she remembered.
"Correct, Anton Vanko was his father." Jarvis says over the phone speaker.
"Okay, then why is the son a man that worked with my old man attacking the Grand Pix?" Tony asks in confusion.
"He's not attacking the Grand Prix per se..." Peter hints as Pepper begins to realize.
"He's attacking Tony!" Pepper blurts out her thought.
"Exactly." Peter says with a nod. "Why else would he ignore every car but Tony's? At least 3 cars passed him before Tony came along and all were left unharmed." Peter says, happy that they were all finally on the same page.
"Why would he want to attack Tony?" Pepper asks in confusion.
"I don't know..." Peter said with a shrug. "Maybe his father had a grudge or Tony did something that unknowingly irked him."
"Jarvis, any ideas?" Tony asks, knowing that Jarvis is looking into it.
"Yes, Anton Vanko was deported back to Russia after selling Stark company secrets on the black market. This is all the information I have at the moment, sir." Jarvis explains.
"Makes sense." Peter says with a nod.
"What makes sense?" Pepper asks questioningly.
"Well, if he was deported for selling Stark secrets, it makes sense that Howard was involved in that process. I'm sure Anton wasn't happy about that. Now, a father's hate is being acted out by his son." Peter says getting a nod from Tony. "Though there may be another reason. This one is the most likely."
*Crash... Zzzzzz*
The sound of lightning striking breaks them from their conversation.
"Looks like they're done..."
A/N: 1406 words. I didn't want to draw the fight out too long so I made it quick. Peter wasn't fighting so I knew it wouldn't be as interesting if I made it more than one chapter.
