Thanos continued to focus, trying not to alert the enemy that they had been spotted. He strained to understand the limits of their abilities, their range, and whether he would be able to catch them before they escaped. As he did so, the team worked to remove crates and other objects from the jet, using the activity as a distraction.

With a signal from Thanos, the team filed into the base to relax and regroup. Inside, they discussed a strategy to catch the teleporter, each member of the squad bringing their unique abilities to the table.

Thanos possessed a heightened awareness within the range of a two-story building, as well as psychokinesis and the ability to read minds within the confines of a room. Chloe shared his psychokinetic abilities, while the red-haired woman wielded fire and intangibility, her sword a conduit for her power. Dave, a dangerous individual, could become invisible and excel in stealthy assassinations. The tallest member of the squad had limited teleportation abilities and grew stronger and more durable upon releasing a dark aura accompanied by a clock-like sound. Vincent, the final member, could change forms and copy powers to a limited extent after maintaining contact for a few minutes. The remaining members of the group were part of the Spider Squad, each possessing abilities similar to Spider-Man, minus the web launchers.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

After hashing out their plan, the squad dispersed, each member preparing to play their part in capturing the elusive teleporter. Dave, his body slowly disappearing from view, let out a maniacal, almost inaudible laugh as he prepared to hunt in the darkness.

Thanos indicated to the team where he felt the presence of the teleporter, instructing them to encircle the target. Having honed in on the range limit of the unknown individual, he told the others to be ready for action.

Meanwhile, the mysterious figure continued to observe the group from the shadows, growing increasingly tense as they seemed to be closing in without overtly acknowledging his presence. Sensing that he had been discovered, the teleporter decided to retreat, but before he could make a move, an electrifying sensation coursed through his body.

Acting on instinct, the teleporter escaped 200 meters away, attempting to teleport once more. But before he could do so, a boulder struck him in the head. Not far away, a petite blonde woman stood surrounded by rocks, launching another salvo at the figure. Despite the head injury, the teleporter managed to evade the attack and disappeared once more.

However, another assailant emerged with an explosion of flames, attempting to slash the teleporter's arm. The teleporter skillfully dodged the attack and vanished yet again. Focused solely on escaping, the figure failed to realize that the squad was herding him like a pack of lions, leading him towards the strongest member of their group to finally end the hunt.
