Arrow Hawk: Birth of the Hockey Avengers

Tyler elbows PyroHab in the face and kicks back, hitting his knees. The villain staggers and let him go. Tyler spins and aims to kick him in the face, however his leg is halted by the wicked man.

“Tyler Seguin, it’s a pleasure.”

Tyler is flung backward but he catches himself and darts forward, slamming into the villain. “Don’t make me draw my guns out! I’m Black Scorpion! A black widow may bite, but a scorpion stings. And if I be but a scorpion, best beware my sting. If you aren’t careful, you’ll get more than a pinch.”

“Puny human spy!”

Tyler goes for his guns and whips them out but they are knocked from his hold by a...tail. Max Pacioretty has transformed...into a dragon! He roars and then shoots fire at Tyler, who is unable to escape the flames. He is consumed by the fire, which traps him in a blazing hot ball. He is unscatched but petrified. Max flicks his tail, puncturing the ball and sending Tyler to the ground on his hands and knees.

Tyler gets to his feet, just as the dragon tail lashes at him, coiling around his arms and pinning them to his sides. Tyler screams.

“Well, well, well, seems like ‘Scorpion’ isn’t so powerful! You’re no ‘Black Widow’ at least!”

“WHAT?? How did you--?” Tyler gasps.

PyroHab smirks at him and snatches up a chain, hanging on a hook. He releases Tyler, who instantly leaps into the air. He is targeted however and predicted as the villain lashes the chain at the spy. It wraps around Tyler’s wrists and then he is yanked down to the ground. The villain then zooms into the air and throws the chain over a metal bar in the laboratory room. He yanks it down, sending Tyler up off the ground, dangling like a pinata.

“Put me down!!” Tyler snaps, pulling at the chain. He tries to touch the ground, but he is an inch above the ground and can barely touch it.

“Where’s the rest of the rescue crew, spy boy? ‘Zvezda send you?” PyroHab sneers, rounding Tyler and coming to stood before the struggling Dallas forward.

“I came alone!”

“Cause you thought you could take me alone, typical spy!” He lashes his tail on the ground and then transforms back to his human villain form. “Maybe now you’ll stay out of my way, Scorpion!”

Tyler grunts in defeat, pulling at the chains as best as he can. Max walks over to where Val is. He returns the machine to its spot and fixes it up once more. However, before he can get the machine cranked up again, he is interrupted yet again. Two winged creatures fly into the room and grab his arms.

Tyler cocks his head at the sight of….Jonathan Toews...and Evelyn O’Reilly?

“Captain Blackhawk...and Zvezda...what a pleasure!” the villain greets them with a glower. He looks at the entrance, where another pale white face peeks around the corner. Shiny blue eyes peer back at him. “...and Patrick Kane...so what, you four are all superheroes now, but the little blondie still isn’t?”

“Leave Kaner alone!” Jonathan spits.

“How sweet…”

Jonathan knees the villain in the stomach. “I said leave him alone!”

“Guys a little help here!” Tyler growls, ignoring the nagging bewilderment, still jerking at the chain.

“Shut up Tyler!” Zvezda snaps. “You decided to come alone, maybe next time you’ll THINK! What are you doing here anyway? Whatever...we’re a little busy right--”

Before anyone can do anything though, PyroHab morphs back into his dragon form and flicks both heroes off of him. They fly to either side and slam into the walls of the room with a loud crash. Zvezda darts forward, whipping up her whirlwind of cosmic energy around her and Jonathan joins her.

Jonathan narrows his eyes and snorts. The villain blows fire at them but Jonathan counteracts his fire with his own fire, morphing into his black hawk form from his anger. Zvezda whips her cosmic cloud at the evil man and manages to hit him with he. He screams out.

“Patrick, get Tyler!” Zvezda shouts.

Patrick darts in and bravely goes over to Tyler. He instantly pulls at the chains and manages to get it loose enough for the spy to slip free. Tyler grabs Patrick’s wrist immediately and they both dart over to Val and set him free from the restraints.

“Come on, we gotta get out of here!” Patrick exclaims.

“Not so fast!” PyroHab growls suddenly and then a tail flies at them and wraps around all three of them.

The black hawk is coughing and the fire war has halted between them. Zvezda spots Val struggling in the tail coil and she turns back to Jonathan and the villain, who are once more locked in a fire war. She drops low and inhales a deep breath.

Wait for it.

The tail tightens around the trio.

“Jonny, back away!” Zvezda shouts.

“Why?” the black hawk questions.

“You’ll see, just get back!”

The small hawk cuts off his fire and flees, dropping down to the ground and morphing back into a furious-looking man. Zvezda waves her hands around in circles before her and draws up her black hole.

“A black hole, really? It takes time to make that...something you don’t have!” The dragon sneers, stepping toward her.

“No, you’re wrong!” Zvezda growls and shoots her black hole creation at the evil man. It consumes the dragon, who fights the suction, releasing the trio from his tail. She continues to feed the energy and eventually succeeds in having PyroHab get sucked in.

Now she just has to close it.

Luckily she has become more of expert with the special power and she quickly draws her hand in a sideways “d” gesture. The black hole vanishes at once and just the five of them remain in the room. She stands up and turns to the others.

“No one messes with my Arrow Hawk!”

Val stands up tall and proud, raising his head up. “Yeah.”

“Or my Peekaboo!” Jonathan adds on.

“Now, let’s get out of here.” She flips her red hair behind her shoulders and walks out of the lab. Val follows her, clapping his hands. Tyler is next, grumbling to himself as he picks his guns up along the way. Jonathan grabs Patrick, placing one arm around his neck and shoulders.

“You have my bow?” Val asks, catching up with the angelic heroine.

She spins to him and nods with a smile. “I do.” She pulls out Val’s bow from her belt and passes it to him. “Here you go, try not to lose it anymore. Okay?”

Val fiddles with the weapon, nodding. “Yes. I try.”

“Maybe next time, we fight someone who doesn’t have any chains or can knock my guns from my hands!” Tyler complains.

“Yeah, well maybe you shouldn’t have gone in there alone. I swear Tyler, you are so stubborn,” Evelyn retorts. “But thank you for stalling long enough for me. But how’d you get here and why?”

“I guess Sidney doesn’t know about you all having powers,” Tyler grins and remarks. “Hey, that black hole thing was pretty cool.”

“Yeah, just watch yourself. You don’t wanna push me, Tyler.”

“Oh, I won’t. I know my place.” Tyler spins his gun in his hands and stuffs it back into the holster on his belt. He then flashes her a movie star smile, complete with the twinkle.

Zvezda frowns and rolls her eyes. “Watch yourself, spy boy!”

“That’s Scorpion to you, Zvez-dah!” Tyler retorts, playfully.

Evelyn whacks him in the arm with a powerful slap. He recoils and rubs his arm, now giving her a disgusted look.

Val shakes his head. “Боже мой! Тупица! (Oh my God! Idiot!)”

Evelyn looks at him, “Val!”

Val blushes. “Sorry. But he is, uh, ‘Тупица’.”

They all laugh and exit the building finally and split apart with farewells and ‘thank yous.’

Notes

Oh Tyler Seguin...classic. :P
