Chapter 40: Marvel 40
Yulia looked at Flash and chuckled. "Kid, it seems you need a beating," she said with a smirk.
Flash grinned, full of confidence. "Why don't you try then?"
"Very well," Yulia replied, stepping forward as she cracked her knuckles. Flash stood in front of her, his posture relaxed, while the others stepped aside, forming a circle around them.
Bucky glanced at Max, clearly concerned. "You should stop him. She's highly trained."
Max just smiled and shrugged. "We'll see. Who says he needs help?"
Bucky raised his brows wondering what he meant.
Yulia smirked as she stepped forward, her posture shifting into a combat-ready stance. Flash, on the other hand, cracked his knuckles and gave her a cocky grin, his competitive side flaring up.
"You sure you're ready for this?" Flash taunted. "I don't go easy on anyone."
Yulia chuckled, her eyes flashing with amusement. "I'm not asking you to."
Bucky, standing next to Max, still seemed a bit concerned. "She's a trained fighter, highly skilled. That kid doesn't stand a chance."
Max shrugged, watching the interaction with an amused look. "Flash likes a challenge. Besides, you never know who's full of surprises."
The rest of the group moved back, creating space in the training area for Yulia and Flash to face off. Rize leaned against a nearby wall, clearly interested in seeing how things would play out, while Peter, Gwen, and the others watched with curious eyes.
Flash darted forward, his speed impressive but still within human limits, aiming a quick jab at Yulia. She sidestepped effortlessly, her reflexes sharp, and delivered a swift kick to Flash's side, sending him stumbling back.
"You're fast," Flash muttered, rubbing his side, "but I'm faster." He dashed at her again, this time throwing a series of punches, but Yulia ducked and weaved, her movements precise and controlled.
Yulia smirked. "You've got speed, but no technique. You'll need more than that to take me down."
Flash, undeterred, shifted his stance and tried to catch her with a sweeping kick. Yulia blocked it with ease and countered with a well-placed punch, knocking Flash off balance and sending him sprawling to the ground.
"Not bad, kid," Yulia said, offering a hand to help him up. "But you've got a lot to learn."
Flash groaned as he got to his feet, grinning despite the beating. "Okay, okay. You win this round." He glanced at Max and added, "Guess I underestimated her."
Max laughed. "Told you. She's no joke."
Bucky folded his arms, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Well, I did try to warn you."
Flash shook his head, still grinning. "Alright, Yulia, I'll admit it—you're tough. But next time, I'll be ready."
Yulia chuckled. "I'll be waiting."
"Though, Flash would have easily won if he had used his superpowers," Max added, causing Bucky and Yulia to look at him with confusion.
"What do you mean?" Yulia asked, turning to look at Flash.
"I'll show you what he meant," Flash said, cracking his neck. His body suddenly glowed red as he vanished and reappeared in front of a training dummy. With a powerful punch, the dummy was blown to smithereens. Bucky and Yulia's jaws dropped as they witnessed Flash's incredible strength.
"He can't control it properly yet, so he didn't use it during the match. But if he had, you saw what happened to the dummy," Max explained, and both Bucky and Yulia nodded, still processing what they had just seen.
Bucky glanced at everyone else, curiosity evident on his face. "Do all of them have superpowers?"
Max nodded. "Yep. And now, they'll show you."
Each person stepped forward to demonstrate their abilities. Max pointed to Lumia first. "As you saw mine already, let's start with my sister."
Lumia smiled as she approached the group. Flash set up another training dummy, and Lumia raised her hands. Several dark, swirling spheres formed in the air and shot toward the dummy. The moment they hit, the dummy turned to black ash.
"Her powers are decay-based," Max explained, and Bucky nodded in understanding.
Next, Rize stepped forward and demonstrated her vampiric powers by turning her own blood into a sharp weapon, forming a crimson blade in her hand.
Gwen was up next, showing her silver light power. She created numerous glowing weapons with ease, manipulating them in intricate ways.
MJ followed, releasing her crimson mist, which swirled around the room like a living entity, enveloping the training dummy.
Then Harry stepped forward, his expression calm. With a casual slap, he touched the face of the dummy, and within seconds, it crumbled and melted into a heap of disintegrated particles.
Bucky's eyes widened. "What... how can a single slap do so much damage?"
Max chuckled. "That's Harry's ability, molecular disintegration. It's precise, but he can also fire it at a distance, though the efficiency drops by 50%."
Finally, it was Peter's turn. "Guess it's my turn," Peter said with a grin. A series of thin, silvery lines shot out from his hands, forming complex web patterns around the room, trapping various objects with ease.
Each person's demonstration left Bucky and Yulia more amazed than the last. It was clear that Max's team wasn't just powerful—they were on a whole different level of extraordinary.
However, Peter's demonstration was far from over. As Bucky and Yulia looked around, they noticed all the training dummies were now moving as if they were dancing, controlled by Peter's webs like a puppet master manipulating his strings.
"He can control things with his webs?" Bucky asked, clearly amazed by Peter's abilities.
"Not only that," Peter said with a grin before Max could answer. Peter extended his hand toward MJ, and soon, he began to manipulate her crimson mist. Next, he used Gwen's silvery light, seamlessly switching between the two. To top it off, Peter even managed to use Harry's molecular disintegration power, carefully disintegrating a piece of another dummy.
"He can copy and use the abilities of others," Max explained, smiling proudly. "That's Peter's real power. He's still learning to master it, but he's already this good."
