Marvel: A Symbiotic Life

Chapter 84 - [39] Cloak and Max

[New York Harbor, an Isolated location.]

It was past midnight, as the cold wind howled, creating waves as it hit the concrete shores. Splattering seawater with the cold air.

"You sure he will come?" Tyrone aka Cloak asked. He was rather skeptical about the whole situation. Wearing a black cloak, that he loosely dr.a.p.ed around his body he stood by Max. There was a hoodie over Tyrone's head covering it, making it hard in the dark to see his face.

Max glanced at him, "Just wait, and don't get too excited." He said chuckling at the teenager. "You can ask him for an autograph, if you want."

Tyrone rolled his eyes at the comment, "It's not like that. I just can't believe that—I will meet 'him'."

"You better start believing it." Max said. "Cause, he's here."

Cloak raised an eyebrow at the comment. He was here for a half an hour or so, in this abandoned section of the New York Harbor. It was pretty late, so if any man or vehicle came here, he would notice.

Yet a man was walking towards them. It was dark but the moon was enough for them to see who it was.

It was Steve Rogers a.k.a Captain America. He looked exactly like you'd imagine, tall, robustly built, an air of confidence radiating around him, much like Max yet different. The man was wearing a deep-blue military jacket and a pair of black pants and black boots. A blue shield hung behind his back.

His blue eyes could be seen clearly in the moonlit night as well as his overgrown hair and his new patchy beard.

He came forward, extending his hand. "Steve, Steve Rogers" he said as Max shook his hand. "So, you are Max? Shuri said a lot about you."

"Yup, the one and only." Max said smiling, it would be lying to say he wasn't excited to meet one of his favorite heroes in real life, "Gotta say, I am a real-big-fan of yours." Max said looking at Steve. He looked exactly like Chris Evans, but with a larger build.

Steve smiled at the comment, as he glanced at the teenager that was behind Max. The teenager looked wide eyed at Steve, he was too shocked to even speak.

Max snapped his fingers in front of Tyrone's face, taking him out of his stupor. "Say Hi." He said smiling.

"Ah… Hi." Tyrone said as he took a step forward, looking at the legend. He was too overwhelmed. "Big fan too by the way." He said quickly, trying not to stutter in front of his hero.

Steve's lips curled up, thinking about a certain individual that was just like the kid. "And who might you be?" he asked as he extended his hand towards the kid.

"Tyrone… Tyrone Johnson" he said shaking Steve hands, his hands shaking due to the excitement.

Steve looked at them both, smiling. "Thank you yet again for helping." He said. "Just a warning, It will be tough."

"No biggie." Max said lazily, waving his hands. "But it's bothering, you know."

Steve raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You can call out Bucky now." He chuckled. "Usually I am the sniper." Max stated glancing at the rundown building not far from here. As his senses told him, one was eying him down, maybe with a fire-arm.

Steve coughed a little worried to be found out, this quick. "Please don't take this personally." He said as he tapped his communicator telling Bucky to come down. "I hope you don't mind, he had… a rough past. And he's a little paranoid."

"Oh, Believe me… I know." Max said he had seen the soldiers memories before.

.

Tyrone was glancing out of the window from time to time, nervous. As he was breathed in and out to relieve stress. His hands were fidgeting from time to time, afraid and scared of what he was about to do, It didn't go unnoticed by the others. But even then no one smirked, let the teenager be.

"First time, in a plane?" asked Bucky leaning forward, he sat opposite to Tyrone. He was wearing his similar clothes like Steve only it was full black. Also, he had guns holstered in his jacket. His silver metallic arm reflected light as he moved.

Much like Steve he too had tanned white skin. His black hair was longer, almost covering his eyes, before he brushed them back with his fingers, looking at the teenager.

Tyrone nodded. "It's just that I wasn't expecting that I would be… you know this."

"Yeah, don't worry." Bucky said, glancing at Steve. "This person right here almost peed his pants the first time." He whispered, smirking.

Steve sighed, "You know I can hear you." He too was smiling at the old days he had spent with his friend, in the front line. And it was almost half a century ago.

"But yes, the first time even I was a little afraid." Steve said honestly to the teen. Trying to cheer him up, Tyrone gave a sad smile at his own choice. Who would have known that bastard would make him do this.

"Don't worry about it." Max said patting Tyrone's back. "I am with you… Just don't close your eyes, you should be all right."

"Yeah, but…" Tyrone's speech was cut off as the alarm rang, making him gulp a mouth full of saliva. His throat, already beginning to feel dry due to anxiousness.

"Well, time to shine." Max said standing up, as he looked at the others who strapped on their backpacks, each having a parachute inside. Only Tyrone was messing things up, as his shaky hands were making the process a little longer. Then again he was just a 17 years old, going to do his first skydive.

"Just so you know my power lets me turn into something… a little ugly." Max said as he transformed one of his hands, as black symbiotic goo spread his fingers nails became claws. "So, just don't get surprised."

All of them nodded, Tyrone had seen Max do some weird things. But he wasn't the one to talk as his own powers were weird to him.

"And…where's your bag?" Steve asked.

Max looked at him, smirking as a pair of red-bloody wings appeared out of his back, making Steve raise a surprised eyebrow as Bucky muttered 'cool' while his mouth arched a little.

"Be careful," he said. "If you would do the honors, captain"

Steve nodded, "Max and Tyrone will go to the control center. You guys will gain access and open the prison cells housing the rest of the avengers. Bucky and I will then move in to extract them out, while you two make as much of a commotion as possible." He said as he looked at the group seriously, before turning towards Max, "Are you sure you can handle them?" he asked just to make sure.

"Thanks, but I can handle myself." Max said.

Steve and Bucky nodded as they opened the c.o.c.kpit door, violet wind blowing in pressurizing. Readying themselves they jumped out one by one, their arms spread out.

Tyrone huffed seeing the long jump as he gritted his teeth, his stomach sinking in, he was glad he had his dinner early, or he would have vomited"I thought it was a simple prison break, not a Mission Impossible." He said, gulping. Max snickered at the comment.

"Don't worry, you're our ticket out of that place. Nothing will happen to you. I will make sure of it." Max said, patting his back. "Also, this plane is going to go 'boom' any minute now. So, just jump for it."

Tyrone looked at Max yet again, "It's easy for you to say, you have damn wings." He said, promising himself not to trust this bastard of a guy, 'spider-man' was right, he really was an asshole. The new hero gathered the last amount of courage he had and jumped out screaming.

Max smiled, he thought he would have to push the kid but, he was braver than he looked. He pulled out the pin from a grenade tossing it in the c.o.c.kpit, webbing it, so it doesn't fall off. As he jumped out of the plane, spreading his devil-like-wings. The plane soon destroyed after a few seconds. He needed that, this way if the navy sh.i.p.s would search the wreckage, giving enough time for the heroes to escape.

As he dived down he saw Tyrone spinning in the air, as the boy screaming his lungs out falling through the clouds. He was too much in a panic state to open his parachute.

Max sighed seeing that as he dived forward giving the boy a helping hand.
