C290 Spider-Man (Patreon)

As Peter made himself a small plate of finger foods, he turned to see Brunnhilde still standing in the same position as before.

“You should really attack already...” Peter commented as he conjured a comfortable couch, which he and Genie sat on as they ate. “If you impress me, I’ll grant you a single favor. Of course, I won’t go against my morals, but most things are possible as long as it’s in my capabilities.”

As Peter was talking, Bi-Beast and the rest started fighting once again, filling the whole room with noise.

“...” Brunnhilde remained silent as she remembered how easily he handled her earlier.

In her many years of life, Brunnhilde has fought against all sorts of people, including the strongest of Valkyrie, soldiers, generals, and even Asgard’s Royal family.

Never before has anyone, besides the Allfather and his psycho b*tch of a daughter, been able to take her down so easily.

Yes, she was drunk, but even then his display of strength was impressive.

Especially after seeing the portal he opened.

‘He can leave here whenever he wants and might be able to match Hela in strength...’ She thought as the small embers of vengeance in her soul began to burn brighter.

“Would you kill a god?” She turns to Peter and asks.

Although she was useless in the final battle of the Valkyrie, Brunnhilde was easily one of, if not, the strongest out of all her sisters, and that was over a thousand years ago.

She may spend her days drinking herself stupid, but that didn’t mean her skills had lessened either, in fact, they’ve only grown throughout the years.

Asgardians are all drunkards, so the disadvantage wasn’t very prevalent.

The fact that she could lose to someone so easily means only one thing.

Peter’s far more powerful than her and could very well be on the same level as beings like Odin and Hela, though she wasn’t quite sure...

After all, he was practically playing with her the whole time.

“Depends on the god, though something like that reaches a bit higher than your average favor, don’t you think?.” Peter answered as he put the puzzle pieces together. “I was thinking more along the lines of taking you off of this planet.”

Brunnhilde wanted him to kill Hela for her, which wasn’t impossible.

“What would you want in exchange?” She asks as Topaz steps up in front of the Grandmaster.

Neither of them knew what Scrapper 142 was getting at, but they knew that she would most likely be attacking them soon enough.

‘What a pity... I always liked 142.’ The Grandmaster thought in disappointment.

“Hmm... work for me and I’ll do it.” Peter answered after a moment of thought. ‘She would make a good Avenger and I have to get some Asgardian blood for my evolution anyway.’

In this way, Peter would be killing two birds with one stone.

He planned to kill Hela either way, as she was a maniac who would cause trouble sooner or later, so using the opportunity to take some DNA for his new evolutionary power while simultaneously gaining a strong subordinate was just too enticing.

‘After all, in the movies, Brunnhilde became King of what remained of Asgard after Ragnarok, so she would be an invaluable member of the Avengers.’ Peter thought as he stuffed a tiny sandwich with purple meat into his mouth, using the Reality Stone to bypass his mask. ‘Hmm, not bad...’

“...” Brunnhilde remained silent and indecisive.

On one hand, she would gladly swear her eternal servitude to anyone who could kill Hela Odinsdottir for her...

Of course, Peter didn’t mean for her to swear herself to him in that manner, but as a former Valkyrie Brunnhilde has always had this sort of mindset.

Though he only meant to offer her a simple job...

And on the other hand, just because Peter could beat her in a fight, whilst she was hammered to oblivion, didn’t necessarily mean that he was capable enough to kill the woman she hated most in this universe.

‘I need to make sure he can do it...’ Brunnhilde thought as she looked over at Peter. “I’ll capture the Grandmaster for you, but that’s it. You can decide what to do with him afterward. As for the favor, I’ll save it for the time being.”

Without another word, Brunnhilde remained still, waiting for Peter's confirmation before acting.

‘This isn’t exactly what I was hoping for but it’s a good start, I guess...’ Peter thought as he sent her a nod. “Deal.”

“Bring it, B*tch.” Topaz expertly twirls her spear around her fingers before slamming the butt end of it against the floor, motioning for Brunnhilde to come to her.

“With pleasure, you fat wh*re.” Brunnhilde replied in kind as she drew her sword from its scabbard and rushed forward.

As the two collided, Brunnhilde’s sword strike was blocked by the pole of Topaz’s spear, leaving the two at a momentary standstill.

“Who are you calling fat, you drunk floozy!” Topaz spat as she swiped the sword away before stabbing her spear forward.

“Who are you calling a floozy, you ugly whale!” Brunnhilde sidestepped the spear and kicked Topaz in the stomach, sending her sliding backward.

Though Topaz didn’t lose her balance and managed to stay on her feet the whole time.

‘She didn’t disagree with the drunk comment...’ Peter thought in amusement as he turned his attention to the other fight going on.

He watched as Pepper kept her distance and fired the beam from a crystal flower-shaped object, which appeared from her suit, hovering in front of her.

Her target, the giant two-faced orange-colored monster, was just barely held in place by both Tony and Rhodes, leaving him no room for escape.

“Argh!” Bi-Beast roared in agony as a beam of blue hued light shot into his leg, tearing a open a large hole and nearly severing his leg.

Though that wasn’t the shocking part.

Through the hole in his leg, Peter and everyone else could see metal, wires, and a blue-colored coolant leaking out, rather than the flesh, meat, and blood of a living being.

“!” Tony’s eyes lit up upon seeing this. “Are you a robot? Wait no... you’re an Android, aren’t you?!”

This trip just kept getting better and better for him.

First Tony found himself stranded in an engineer's paradise, where materials and unknown alien technology literally rained down from the sky, and now this godly planet gave him yet another gift.

A conscious and living robot, an Android.

“You aren’t controlled by anyone, right?” Tony asked as he completely forgot that they were fighting only seconds ago. “Are you an Artificial Intelligence?”

“Tony, I don’t think that now is the time for this...” Rhodes muttered in exasperation.

Though Tony seemed to completely ignore him.

“Or maybe you were just a mindless robot that gained sentience over time... Who made you?... Do you have your blueprints?... Can you feel anything?...” He continued firing off questions with a look of wonder and curiosity.

Tony couldn’t hold himself back as Bi-Beast only became angrier and angrier with each word out of his opponents mouth.

‘Does he not like being questioned? Or is he sensitive about his origin?’ Peter wondered as he watched it all unfold.

Standing back up while ignoring the hole in his leg, Bi-Beast snarled in Tony’s direction before kicking off the ground and launching forward.

“Woah!” Tony shouted as he was tackled to the ground with Bi-Beast hovering over his body. “I get it. You don’t like questions.”

“Shut up!” The dumber face of Bi-Beast yells in anger as he punches down at Tony’s glowing chest.

“Oh no, you don’t!” Rhodes exclaims as he spartan kicks Bi-Beast in the head, which sends him rolling off of Tony.

And just as Bi-Beast was about to pick himself up, a bright blue light shot toward his chest from across the room.

“Pepper no! We have to capture him alive!” Tony yells, surprising his girlfriend enough to divert her attack, though it didn’t go as Tony would have hoped.

“Urgh!” Bi-Beast screamed one last time as the beam of energy pierced his chest before jerking sideways and slicing his neck.

*plop...* (A/N: does that sound work for a head falling to the floor?)

Although Pepper didn’t mean to, her attack diverted and severed Bi-Beasts head from his shoulders.

“No! My beautiful research material!” Tony cried out in horror as Bi-Beast collapsed to the floor alongside his severed head. “How could you do this to him... He was innocent!”

“He tried to kill us, Tony...” Pepper replied in annoyance. “That’s not exactly what I would call innocent.”

“He was innocent in my heart...” Tony muttered in regret.

“Relax, you can still study its corpse.” Peter joins the conversation whilst sipping on a blue-colored fizzy drink through his mask. “Just be careful. Since it’s an Android, he’s probably still alive and just needs a few repairs.”

Upon hearing Peter’s words, hope returned to Tony’s entire being as he rushed over the downed Android.

“Don’t worry, I’ll fix you up good as new...” Tony muttered as he started collecting all of Bi-Beasts scattered pieces.

“My champion...” The Grandmaster whispered mournfully.

Looking between Topaz and 142, who were still fighting one another, The Grandmaster couldn’t help but eye the nearest exit.

‘I may need to get out of here...’
