It was peaceful at the Thompson residence and surprisingly it was well intact.
For despite three days of non-stop rioting and criminal activity caused by the deployment of the dome months ago. The mansion looked absolutely untouched. With even the blades of the grass of its lawn not even disturbed.
And inside the mansion was Flash Eugene Thompson dressed in a suite and tie. He was busy talking to Peter Parker on the his tablet with a wide grin on his face as he laid about on a sofa in the the main hallway and next to him was his girlfriend Liz Allan who was listing to the conversation with a soft...yet haunting smile on her face.
'Oh...so it will be some time before you are ready for the trip...no that's find I some things to do before I am ready to, so at 1:00 p.m... at the airport?...okay see you then Dickweed.
Flash chuckled as he turns off his eye-phone.
'Dickweed? Liz said with a smirk. 'I thought he was your biggest hero and friend?'
Flash then shrugged. 'He's still a massive dork...and besides its more of a nick name than anything else' the muscled teen then got up from the sofa and adjusted the tie on his suit.
'So... how do I look?'
Liz then stared at her boyfriend and once again gave that haunting smile. "It looks as good everything else you wear...so ready to meet everyone?
'Yeah...and did you already made your respects...Dimitri?' Thompson said as he stared at the bearded Russian who stood in the middle of the hallway.
The bearded Russian then gave a slight bow in confirmation.
'My Brother's death was inevitable whenever or not he killed the Spider or not...or be by his own hand or not' The Kravenroft then took in a deep sigh as crossed his hands over his waist. 'And he died with nothing but shame...yet was ultimately humbled by the experience'
The double agent then turns his gaze towards the stairway. 'Come...our chairman is on a tight schedule and its best not to keep him waiting'
Dimtri as he walked towards the stair case and upon walking a few feet near it. Took a a small device in the shape of a miniature camera from his pocket and as he aimed at the stair case he pressed a button on it. Which then projected a black portal in front of him.
He, Flash and Liz Then walked inside portal and after they did the dimensional gateway closed behind them.
A few seconds then passed as the trio existed outside of the portal and arriving inside a massive underground cave, that seem to contain and entire city within it.
With varies buildings, tech and other structures filling in the entire area and among them where other people.
Many of the individuals where varies ethics all around the world, with some of them even being part of Scorpion's, Beck's gangs. Even some members of the Maggia where there. Some of employees where even aliens.
While others seem to originate from rogue organizations like Hammer, A.I.M and Hydra. With most of them talking about business deals, working on equipment such as power armor and advance weaponry. With some of them even arriving out of other black portals. .
Dimtri, Flash and Liz didn't paid any mind to that at all they walked towards their destination.
It was a structure shaped like massive arena sized dome, that stood above every everything else in the cave. Its only entrance being a huge sliding door connected to a single bridge.
The group then proceed to walk on to the door. Without even stopping their stride as they immediately crossed the bridge and came upon the front entrance.
Thompson then readjusted his collar and exercise his shoulders a bit. Something that Dimitri noticed.
'A bit nervous, are you? In spite of weeks of planning.' he commented. Without even looking at the teen as the older man stared at the door. But Flash just huffed in annoyance.
'You could have prepared me for those five years I lost I would still be nervous' he comments back before looking back at Liz as he gently placed his right hand on her shoulder.
"This won't be long I promise...' He said gently. While Allan simple closed her eyes and nodded slowly.
'And from my last time here they usually aren't...doesn't mean the waiting is any less suspenseful.' Liz then place her right on her boyfriends left cheek. 'Just put on you acting face like you always do...and this will be over in no time.'
Flash then gave a soft smile at the girl he loved. 'Like I would mess up my own act.' the black hair teen then kissed her on the cheek. 'See you soon babe.'
The door then slide open revealing behind an empty hallway that was only barley lit by the yellow torch lights on each side of its walls. Thompson then took in a moment of hesitation, before hardening his face and walked through the corridor and Dimitri following behind him.
Liz however stayed behind. Knowing that whatever meeting flash had it was private. Yet wanting to beside him none the less.
She gave one last foreboding look of worry at her significant other. even as the front door slammed down in front of her.
Meanwhile in the main chamber a group of people were discussing events both recent and upcoming. It included five individuals each sitting around a large oval table. With a large yellow flush mount ceiling light shining down upon it. However all their forms and faces remain hidden by the shadows, leaving them untouched by the light.
Save for one. That sat at the head of all of them.
He was a middle age man, with pale skin, auburn reddish hair, a pointed jaw and dark green eyes that hold no reflection of emotion but calmed arrogance. His suite was black, with a medium sized cape lapped over his shoulders and in his right hand a cane with a solid gold handle.
'It would seem that project Red Dusk was a success and Tinkerer has already given the blueprints to us. Though 'It's a shame that Sergi died...he would have made a fine addition to our operation.' one the unknown group spoke with a female voice.
Another from the group a man then snorted. 'Please...that man was already dead animal, just waiting to roll over and die and what is worse, Is that he didn't even kill the spider when he had the chance...especially given what he has become now...'
'Indeed' one of the group said in agreement with a thick yet even accent. 'They child has too much of the Captain and Iron Man in him...I suggest that we take him out now. before he becomes even more of a threat.'
The last of the hidden group then let out a deep breath. 'I'm sure we have the necessaries to do that...but is it the right time to strick?' The rest of the individuals turn to the red haired who then smiled.
But it lacked any kind of warmth.
'I'd say within half a years would be good enough to do so. After all what better time to take out the Avengers when they still are still busy mending their wounds?
The rest of the people in the group gave off a silent look of approval. While the accented then turn his head to their leader.
'So I can assume that the Insidious are fully formed?' The military man asked and the older man snickered wickedly.
'Of course, I have personal hand picked and gave full combat training and equipment to all of them. They are ready. All we need to now is make the final preparations'
The man then got up from his seat and began heading out to the door.
'I believe that is all we have for our daily meeting and now it is time to go back to our own businesses' The red haired man dismissed and soon the rest of the unknown group left the table. Some existed the room through one of the hallways. While others teleport themselves away.
The red haired man then began walking down on of the hallways and when he did, he was greeted by another man.
He was tall, with a fine smoothed like muscle body, with his brown hair cut short and wearing a pair of shades.
'I do assumed that all the preparations are made.' The red haired man asked more sternly.
The shade wearing man hummed in confirmation.
'Some needed improvements and others had to be built from the ground up, all except one...but they are ready'
'Good' The red haired said simply and when he did the other man went behind him and follow him up to a metal balcony. Overseeing an arena stadium alighted with golden greenish lights and below it where six individuals. With each one of them staring up right at him.
All them were past enemies of Spider-Man. With each of them being in a full-bodied armored more advance version of their costumes.
The Man then grinned wickedly, before addressing the group. 'All of you should be grateful and honored to part of this squadron. For each of you where pick specially for the talents that would give this organization the chance rises above in this world and beyond.
'Adrian Toomes, The Vulture, Mac Gargan the Scorpion, Quinten Beck the Mysterio,Herman Schultz , The Shocker, Dimriti the Chameleon and...' The red haired man said as then glaces down to the six member.
And'...our latest addition Flash Eugene Thompson.'
The man Announced as the rest of the group gave the teen a mixture of looks.
Toomes averted his gaze. Not wanting to face the teen's face.
Mac growled in discomfort and nervousness. Not liking the fact he was beaten and imitated by a kid, but now forced to work with one.
Quinten rolled his eyes upon seeing The teen and shared Mac's thoughts, but unlike the Gargan it was more out of annoyance than anything else.
Herman Schultz. Gave a look of curiosity and amusement.
And Dimtiri gave off a look of neutrality as he bowed and closed his eyes respectfully.
The Man then noticed the unimpressive looks the team new their new young member...but only grin in anticipated.
"Mr. Thompson...I do believe that some of these fine gentlemen have a lack of faith in you...why don't you show your suit?
Flash didn't say anything but nodded.
The muscle teen stretched his out back and then took a deep breath. Before kneeling himself to the floor.
And the area around him began to shift.
Iron partials then began to swirl around Thompson's body, before solidifying and forming into pieces of armor. Like shoulder pads, braces, boots, greaves and...from what appeared to be a hood over his head. All of which had heavy metal gothic design to them. While the rest of the iron partials gathered around his face.
A moment later the armor was alighted in a fiery glow. Radiating heat blazing through the openings and outlines on it
Flash then raised up his right arm and hand into the air and used the swirling iron partials to form a large broadsword. The blade then glowed brightly with heat, before flames burst forth from it.
Many of the criminals where surprised at what they saw and some like Beck and Mac even impressed by the flaming blade in the teen formed.
But when Flash lifted his face up. Everyone in the room save a few.
Gasped in outright.
Blood freezing.
Terror.
Thompson's face...can't even be called human or even a mask. By fusing the iron molecules into his skin and channeling the heat through his body. The Teen had taken appearance of the demon straight out of a dark horror fantasy.
His skin was pitch black and leathery in texture like a reptile. His ears were pointed and large along with his nose. While his eyes radiated with the glow and radiance of fire.
And the reactions of the villains, which were once mixed now became more extreme.
Mac. Nearly suffered a heart attack and took everything he had not to run away.
Beck. Double checked his his eyes, wondering if one of his illusion tech malfunction Herman Schultz Looked at Thompson get up in both fear and Awe.
Dimtri...had the most subdued look. Giving a bemusing expression. As if Flash had already showed him the transformation or perhaps it reminded him of his brother's.
While Adrian. Turn his gaze further away from Thompson. In both terror, shame...and guilt.
The red haired man in the balcony however was please upon seeing his associate's reactions.
'Amazing is it not?...to take something already made and turn it into your own. A genius to rival Parker himself...and so I welcome are newest member to the Indiouses '
Then then gave one more looked at face. His own face now twisted in a horrifying grin, that would make Flash's own ghoulish appearance looked tamed and subdued.
The Man then gave a dark cruel chuckle upon speaking the boy's alter ego. 'Or should I refer to you has The Goblin?
Flash said nothing, before speaking in his own twisting voice that sounded just as demented and cruel.
But unlike the red haired man...it was only a hollow act.
'Whatever you say...Mr. Osborn...'
And finally at last after over two months of hard work the fic is officially finished with this last chapter.
Revealing that Flash Thomspon himself as the Goblin or more specially the Hob-Goblin working for Norman Osborn himself.
And of course the introduction of Sinister Six.
Now I will be honest with you all it was a really hard in writing this secrete ending mainly because. I had a hard time choosing between Flash Thompson being Agent Venom or the Hob-Goblin.
But then as I remembered watching Homecoming and Far From Home. Flash Thompson in this version of the character is also Harry Osborn.
Due to his wealth, his jealously with Peter, the fact that nobody likes him. Regardless of him being rich and of course his family troubles which were mention in Far From Home.
It just seems more fitting to turn him into a Goblin.
And as for Venom...well I already have some planes for him in the upcoming future.
I also have them called the Insidious Six six from the 1990's cartoon series, because to me the world sister seem too silly of a name, to be used for crooks like Norman and his supporters in this fanfic version of them and the fact they don't see themselves as cartoon villains.
But as I said before The squeal will properly not come out until later next year and during that time I will properly be proof reading this story more and fix any issues I come across. Along with working on other fanfics in the mean time. That will properly be much shorter in length.
One which will be Bleach: Paths of the Five Kings and properly a few stand alone Spider-Man stories.
Anyway thank all for reading so far and see you next time when my next fic is posted.
Happy Holidays!
