Chapter 145: Avengers vs. Avengers

"Look, the show is starting!" On the second floor of the airport, Arthur and Wanda sat on chairs, watching the events unfold on the tarmac below.

"Is that Peter Parker? He’s here too?" Wanda asked, watching Spider-Man descend from the sky.

"Excuse me, sir and madam, there has been an incident at the airport, and you need to leave immediately!" A security guard from the Avengers, dressed in police gear and carrying a rifle, approached them.

"Go get me something to eat," Arthur commanded. The guard immediately turned and left to head to the KFC on the second floor. Arthur had only glanced at him to exert his control.

"Peter Parker hasn't joined the Avengers yet. This is his first time meeting these people," Arthur remarked to Wanda.

"Is that so? This world is indeed quite different from ours," Wanda replied.

On the tarmac, Steve Rogers raised his hands, but an arrow fired from a distance severed the webbing on his wrists. Suddenly, Ant-Man, Scott Lang, kicked Spider-Man down and snatched Captain America’s shield.

"I didn't expect Scott to be here too!" Wanda said in surprise.

"Indeed, it’s getting more and more interesting." Watching the Avengers below felt like reliving the plot of *Captain America: Civil War*, and the sensation of watching it live was exhilarating.

"There are two people on the tarmac, one of them is Wanda. I'm going to catch her! Wait, there are two more on the second floor of the terminal. Is that... Arthur and Wanda?" Tony Stark's computer had scanned their location.

"How did they get here?" Rhodey asked from the side.

"I don't know. I hope they aren't here to cause trouble. Never mind them for now; I'll go after Wanda, and you deal with Steve," Stark said before flying off.

"There are two more in the terminal—Sam and Bucky are there!" Rhodey spotted them from the air.

"Bucky is mine!" T'Challa turned and ran toward the terminal as soon as he heard Rhodey.

Steve Rogers threw his shield at Rhodey, knocking him off balance, then intercepted the Black Panther, T'Challa, who was about to leave. The two immediately began to fight. Meanwhile, Peter Parker swung toward the terminal using his webs.

Scott Lang intercepted Natasha. Faced with the beautiful Avenger, he didn't strike immediately, so Natasha kicked him in the groin and grabbed his arm to subdue him. Suddenly, Scott shrank, escaped her grip, and flipped her onto the floor. Unable to see the tiny Scott, Natasha used her wrist-mounted taser to blast him away.

Peter Parker burst into the terminal and kicked Sam away. Bucky lunged at him, but Peter caught his metal arm with one hand.

"You actually have a metal arm? That is so cool!" Peter exclaimed while holding Bucky's arm.

Bucky was stunned. His metal arm was strong enough to smash through cars, yet this person—who sounded like a child—had caught it and held it fast. How strong was this kid?

Sam flew in from above, grabbed Peter, and carried him forward. "Listen! You have the right to remain silent. Please stop immediately!" Peter struggled in Sam’s grasp, broke free, and swung away on a web.

Arthur and Wanda watched Sam and Peter fly overhead from their seats. "Peter Parker is as cheeky as ever," Wanda said, taking a bite of her sundae.

"Yeah, I bet Sam and Bucky are grinding their teeth in frustration," Arthur replied. He sat with a tray on his lap filled with a burger, fries, and fried chicken, enjoying the show. Bucky ran past them, glanced at them briefly, but didn't pay them any mind, as he didn't recognize them.

Above, Tony Stark fired missiles at Wanda and Hawkeye, Clint Barton, who were running below. "Wanda, I think you've hurt Vision's feelings," Stark called out.

"You locked me in a room—" Wanda began, but Stark interrupted.

"Alright, first of all, that’s an exaggeration. Secondly, I was protecting you! Hey, Clint," Stark said, greeting Barton.

"Hey, pal!" Barton replied.

"Doesn't look like retirement suits you. Tired of golf?" Stark asked.

"Every time I play, I get a hole-in-one. It's hard to miss!" Barton suddenly fired an arrow at Stark. Stark expertly blew up both of Barton's arrows with his repulsors. "Seems like you missed, doesn't it?" Stark mocked.

"Who says?" Barton retorted. From the roof, a car crashed down, narrowly missing Stark, followed by a barrage of vehicles. Wanda was using her powers to drag cars from the parking lot to crush Tony. He dodged in the air, but was eventually pinned to the ground by three cars.

"Multiple contusions detected," F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s voice echoed in Tony's helmet.

"Yeah, I detected them too. Sss... it hurts..." Tony grumbled from the ground.

Arthur handed a chicken wing to Wanda and bit into his beef burger, watching Peter fight Sam and Bucky in the terminal. Peter webbed up the exhaust vents on Sam's wings, causing him to crash. As Sam stood up, Peter webbed his hands to the escalator railing.

"Is your suit made of carbon fiber?" Peter jumped onto a pillar, fascinated by Sam's wings.

"Is this stuff coming out of you?" Sam asked, staring at the webs on his hands.

"No wonder the performance is so good. I have to say, it's amazing!" Peter was thrilled to be sparring with Avengers and seeing their gear.

"I don't know if you've ever been in a fight before, but this isn't the time for small talk!" Sam snapped.

"Right, sorry, my bad." Peter swung on a web and kicked Bucky, who had just arrived, sending both him and Sam tumbling off the second floor. He webbed their hands together again.

"Guys, I'd love to keep fighting, but I have a mission today, and I need to make a good impression on Mr. Stark. So, sorry about this..." Just as Peter fired another web, a small drone flew in and dragged him away. It was controlled by Sam, who couldn't stand Peter's incessant chatter.

"Couldn't you have done that sooner?" Bucky, also exhausted by Peter's rambling, muttered. If he could have caught the kid, he would have taped his mouth shut himself.

Arthur laughed as he watched Peter get dragged out the window. He stood up and stretched, having finished all the food on his tray.

"I'm full. Come on, let's go outside and take a look," Arthur said to Wanda.
