55 Secret Wars Part IV (1/2)
The middle-aged man looked around and said, ”Odd I could have sworn I told you to bring my test subject back with you.”
Peter looked at the man finally recognizing who he was, ”Maynard Tiboldt.” Maynard Tiboldt is the son of Fritz Tiboldt, the former Ringmaster of the Tiboldt Circus during World War II. After his parents were executed for their failures in infiltrating the U.S, Maynard, who did not share his parents' sympathy for Nazism, thus became the leader of a circus and decided to move it to America, far from the scene of Hitler's rise to power and his parents' deaths. It appeared in this timeline he chose to follow in his parent's footsteps and joined Hydra, Peter knew his powers well, Mind control, one of his most hated powers.
”Oh, you know my name?” Maynard smiled as he approached Peter, ”You protege didn't make it, she died while I attempted to extract the Symbiote.”
Maynard sighed, ”Oh darn, what a waste, oh well, she's isn't my only super-powered experiment.”
Peter looked around and attempted to invade the mind of his foes but the Symbiotes managed to block his ability, luckily Maynard never would have guessed Peter gained a new power recently, he dove into his mind and saw everything that he needed to know, Peter felt sick as he shuffled through the Hydra scientist's head, Peter saw him performing countless experimentation on innocent people, dissecting them alive, and even creating a few supervillains.
Peter wanted to throw up, he thought that it couldn't get any worse but suddenly he saw his parents, they looked malnourished and tired and beaten, he was called in by a superior and originally tried to use his powers to force the answers out of his parents, however, they actually gouged out their own eyes so he couldn't control them, afterward he kept them held up in a cell, Maynard constantly used the threat of killing one of each other to coerce information out of each other, and when that wasn't enough he would physically harm them.
Peter gritted his teeth, he saw the torture he put them through and felt he had enough, Peter tried to locate what the had done with his family, when he finally felt a bit of relief, luckily the crazed Maynard had kept his word for the most part, however, he intended to use the Symbiotes to control them. After reprogramming Maynard's mind for a preset of actions, Peter sent a message to MJ telepathically and she responded, ”Okay, I'll go get them, what about you?”
”I'm going to let him take me, once he leads me to a base, I'll start ripping apart Hydra from the inside,” Peter said as he walked over and held his hands up, ”Take me, just let my family go.”
”Of course, we will,” Maynard replied, Peter obviously knew he was lying, the scheming rat that his is would never hand over leverage that he could use.
Peter had a pair of cuffs slapped on him and he felt that all his powers sealed, it force his Symbiote to retreat inside his body, ”These are specially made just for you. It took a while to make, but we managed to find someone to figure it out.”
Peter knew he was referring to the Mutant known as Forge, one of his slaves, only he could invent something of this level right now, after all, who else would be able to create equipment to deal with Spider-Man's powers without actually ever meeting or knowing of them?
Peter still had his magic though, and that's all it would take to shatter these cuffs and wreak havoc, he was led into an invisible ship and began flying towards the ocean.
MJ ran off towards downtown Manhattan, she had to hurry because once they had Peter, they were going to load up the prisoners and transport them to a holding facility along with Peter's parents. MJ arrived at a large high rise with a helicopter pad on top of it, she then began looking through the building, using her Spider-Sense she crawled through the air ducts and honed in on her family and found a group of people who had black sacks covering up their heads, they surrounded by armed guards that were wearing Hydra combat armor.
MJ wanted nothing more than to bust out her family right now, but she knew what she had to do, she heard them speaking on their radios, ”Target acquired, move the packages to the black site.”
The Hydra Agents started getting to work, they forced the hostages to start moving, as they worked their way to the roof, the agents revealed a cloaked jet that could carry a small platoon, the hostages boarded it at gunpoint as MJ hid along beside them, once she saw the pilot enter in his destination coordinates, she made her move, MJ webbed up every one of the Hydra Agents before the jet could even leave the ground, she then hacked into the onboard computer using her Symbiote.
Once she shut down the jet and locked it out from being able to be remotely controlled, she transformed her image into an adult version of her self and walked back to the where the 13 people that had been brought here against their will and started removing the sacks over their heads, MJ found her family and felt her blood boiling, Aunt May had a bruise on her eye, and Ben and her father's faces and bodies were beaten black and blue, her mother had a large bump on her head a bit of dried blood running down her forehead.
MJ felt like she was going to explode, she wanted to hurt someone, hurt them badly, she took a deep breath and reigned in her emotions as she placed symbiote over them to cure their wounds. When the first person regained consciousness they shouted, ”Spider-Woman!”
