Red Skull Versus Norman Osborn

Note of the author: when Norman Osborn talks like this, he's talking with the Green Goblin's annoying voice.


The Red Skull was lying in a cell of the Avegers headquarters. He had returned, and completed a plan to attack America right before Captain America AND Steve Rogers (he wondered if he was the only one who felt somehow wrong about someone else than Steve Rogers being Captain America while he was alive) got him. Too late, this time: unless they managed to make him tell where the time bombs and the other devices were, he would win. This time, he would win. Then the cell opened to admit his soon-to-be frustrated interrogator. He wondered if Rogers would let him use waterboard-

"Norman Osborn?" he said, surprised at the identity of the man who had just entered. "Or it's the Green Goblin?"
"It doesn't matter." Osborn replied. "What matters is that I was asked to make you talk. Without waterboarding or anything that could be lawfully considered torture, of course. Being an occasion to give you a lesson made me accept before Rogers could even offer a few perks... Not that he won't soften my sentence, it's Steve Rogers we're talking about."
"And how do you delude yourself about earning them?"
"Have you ever heard about Deadpool and his 'talking tic'?"
"You mean the fact he can't shut the hell up with all his nonsense?"
"Actually, Spider-Man somehow rendered him speechless once."
"How is it even possible?"
"I didn't dare to ask. Nor I won't ask Deadpool about the 'Yo Mommageddon' that Deadpool developed to get back at him."
"Smart thing to do. Now that I think about it, only Spider-Man is annoying enough to shut Deadpool up..."
Osborn snapped his fingers, causing the interphone to play Spider-Man voice crying: "For the love of God, SHUT UP!"
"That was Spider-Man's reaction at the snarks of Eddie Brock, the original Venom." Osborn explained. "Now, you will tell me your plan or I'll have Deadpool, Spider-Man and Brock summoned here to insult you 'till you talk."
"You wouldn't!" the Skull cried.
"Not on anyone else."
"Rogers won't allow it!"
"He promised he'd allow me to do whatever it took, provided it would be legal. And this is legal. Oh, and I'm sure Spider-Man will ignore our less than stellar relationship, given it's you. Maybe I'll even join them with a few cracks of my own and my wonderful voice."

A cry of horror later, the Red Skull confessed.
