Two hours ago at the black hub
'Okay so you want me to impersonate you while you are busy with your…stuff?' Liz asked while seeing Flash in unmasked goblin form working on his extremist vials at his workbench, particularly the ones colored yellow and white.
'I need to have this done as soon as possible Liz. Even after I spent all last night trying to work on these things. They still have a decent number of bugs that need to be cleared out and I can't avoid people having even the slightest suspicion of me missing on the weekends'
Liz then looked at Flash and gave a tired breath. 'I know, I know, usually you hang out at that downtown Starbucks along with Peter at this time. But still Thompson I have my own stuff to do too'
The Latino then paused. 'I…I know...and I'm sorry…I just know the very moment I get everything I have on Parker the next time we study together. Norman will likely have me and the insidious attack the avengers again…and when that time comes, he will expect all of us to fight at our best'
The daughter of the vulture then walked behind Thompson and hugged him tightly. While he gently placed his own scaly leather hands on them. 'Look...it's okay alright. I'll cover for you as long as you need. Just call me when you are done'
Liz then let go of Thompson and then used a camera like device to open a portal to Flash's house. But before Liz walked into it she then left the device on Thompson's workbench much to his concern.
'Umm Liz are you sure you want to leave this thing behind? Thomson asked and Liz chucked.
'Oh, come on Flash, you know that accomplices like me can't carry them with us. Especially outside the perimeter of the black hub. Only people on the upper tier can do that. After all it is one of this super secrete criminal organizations main security policies right?' Liz jokingly explained but Flash looked unconvinced.
'That is not what I meant Liz…' He muttered but his girlfriend just huff and rolled her eyes.
'You sound just like my father' Liz spatted.
'And he is right…' Thompson responded without missing a beat much to Liz's bewilderment. While Flash just gave her a look of amusement.
'Hey if he is right, he is right. In fact, he doesn't feel comfortable with you even being in the black hub considering the types of people here' Flash explain but Liz grumbled in irritation.
'Look Thompson the moment both of us became an item. You became someone that I care about as much anyone of my family. I will look out for you, not just to sit at the side lines' Liz exclaimed sternly. But Thompson still looked worried. Much to the girl's desperation.
But then Liz let out a deep breath.
'Look…if I don't arrive in say two hours you can come looking or call me alright? She said almost pleading with her big black tender eyes and Flash upon seeing them sighed in defeat.
'Okay for two hours without that device with you…but when they are up…' Flash said ominously though there was a hint of smirk in his voice. Which did not go unnoticed by Liz, who smiled right back at him.
'Alright Mr. Thomson I get the drill' the girl joked and then used a device to disguised herself and begin walking into the portal only to stop herself and turn her head 'I will be back before you notice Eugene' and with that, she entered the portal and upon doing so closed it right behind her.
Present time
It had been a couple of hours of non-stop work but Flash was finally done with his extremist projects. With the yellow and white vials fully completed, ready for combat and powerful enough to make him capable enough of taking on any avenger. Even if he were facing off against even their heavy hitters.
The collage youth then let out one longed tired breath before sitting down in a nearby chair and took out his phone. Noticing that there was still half an hour left before Liz would call him back. Which made Flash smile. Hoping that maybe the both can go on a mini date or anything that doesn't have anything to do with being the goblin, part of the insidious and most of all Norman.
Unfortunately, those thoughts were push aside when he got a notice on his phone of a live online news chat involving Harley at his favorite star-bucks café. His eyes the. widen in fright upon reading the comments.
'Hey is that Harley Keener the Iron-lad?'
'It looks so, he is almost as cute as Parker, though far more on the skinny side'
'Wait, it looks like he is grabbing some kid and stuffing him in his car!'
'Is he like a suspect or something?
'Liz…' Flash spoke barely above a whisper. His worse nightmare having just come true.
Meanwhile at Mysterio's hideout in a closed off downtown building.
'Well, this is annoying' Beck mused. As he looked over the news footage from a computer screen of Harley taking Liz away disguised as Flash to a nearby car and drove off to parts unknown.
'Figures that the moment Thompson offers any form of usefulness it's ruin by his own girlfriends's incompetence' the illusionist said to the rest of his team within their latest hideout in New York City. With most giving looks of approval.
'And to think that this would have happen just right when we were finished doing some reconnaissance for the team...typical' he continued to mutter bitterly until one of his men approached him.
'Boss we detected that Flash Thompson is on his way to intercept Harley Keener. Along with the rest the Avengers zooming in on his location. Should we contact Norman Osborn and the kid?' The grunt asked and Beck rolled his eyes.
'Contact the chair-man but leave goblin kid on silence. I want to see how Osborn is going to play this out when realizing his precious little mole had just now become compromise' Beck said with a condescending smirk while looking back the screen that showing Flash in his full goblin form and on his glider flying rescue the love of his life .
Later with Harley and the disguised Liz.
Liz should have realized something was up when the newly appointed Avenger Iron-lad. Approached, dragged her into his car and drove her to a deserted warehouse for questioning. However, seeing how hell-bent Harley was in making her talked. She doubt it would even make a difference.
And that is not even getting into the massive accusations the iron-hero was labeling her on. Some of which only left her even more baffled.
'I told you I don't know anything about my father being some mob-boss or even being the Goblin' Liz argued. While still struggling to maintain the act of her boyfriend. But Harley remain unconvinced.
'You can play with the innocent act all you want Thompson but I know you are adding the goblin, your father and I know you have been spying on Peter in order to get info on his tech, powers and later sabotage him!' Keener declared harshly. But Liz remain defiant.
'I told you already that my dad is just a designer and perfume owner and even if he was some super-big shot gang lord, he didn't tell me anything about it and as for me and Parker. I was just helping with his tech along with working on our science fair collage project! She tried to argue but Keener just shook his head.
'Really then what about questioning how his powers work or you talking to someone about going to some hub?' Keener continued to question. With the last question actually making Liz pause for a bit.
'I-I was talking about going to some midnight club called the black hub and the spider power thing…I was just curious!' She continued to deny much to Haley's frustration.
'Figures the punk would go into denial. But unfortunately, he forgot to get the recorder from the helicarrier to make him confess…' The iron-man thought and huffed 'Which means I just have to take the rich boy there and expose him to the evidence himself'
However before the hero's plan could be put into motion. He revived a call from his phone and when he answered it turn out to be a very angry Peter Parker.
'Harley what the hell are you doing!' Peter shouted into the phone with absolute rage. But this only made Harley lash out right back at his teammate.
'Doing your freaking job by Interrogating the accomplice!' He roared but Peter just growled in fury.
'That was not part of the plan! The plan was for me to feed Thompson false information when he comes to work on my stuff! 'So that we could lead all the bad guys into an ambush, capture at least one of them for the actual interrogation and then question Thompson! That is what we have gone over!' Peter angrily remained his teammate but Harley wouldn't have any of it.
'Yeah I know but my way is quicker and better then yours and once I take him to the helicarrier-
'You aren't doing shit, you deluded asshat!' Peter snapped. You are going to stay were you are, Tell me were you are and I will be the one to take Flash in!' Parker demanded harshly and then took on deep breath.
'Damn it Harley we are supposed to be team and work together! Not doing crazy shit like this!' Peter continue to rant, but Keener no longer bothered to listen.
'We would have been a team had you and Fury made me the team leader! Instead of turning me into nothing more a stage hound and worse yet into a fucking side-kick like you!' Keener Shouted in out-of-control rage. As he then formed a nanite gauntlet around his right hand and crushed his phone in his grip. Then the mad iron-hero turn towards the disguised Liz. Who could do nothing but slowly step away back away from him in fear.
