Flash was in a panic as he raced across the city trying to get to Liz and rescue her from the Iron-Lad at the Starbucks or at least hopping someone on his team would. But then just when was about half a mile away to arriving at the café. He was slammed off course. Which resulted in him falling off his glider and into the street pavement below and when he got himself off the ground he shuddered in dread.

'No…' he whispered to himself as he saw both Sam Wilson the Falcon Captain America hovering in the sky above and in front of him stood Bucky Barnes the Winter Solider.

'I have to admit despite Keener breaking protocol. I didn't expect the Goblin to come after his own kid' Sam mused in his intercom earpiece to his partner. While readying his twin guns at Flash.

'Assuming he didn't do it just to save his own skin' the solider casual remarked back. While training his own gun at his target. 'Stay on guard. For this is the same guy who took down Pepper in her rescue armor and held his own against Parker and Keener at once. We need to take him down quick'

Sam hummed sourly in agreement. 'Copy that'

Then within a second later Wilson lunged at the goblin at full speed. With the former barely side stepping away to avoid the attack. Only to be clocked in the face by Bucky's metal arm. Which was then followed by two punches in the stomach and a left kick to the back head. Slamming Thompson to the ground and right when the young fiend was just about to get up again Bucky upper cut him from below his jawline and sent flying across the pavement

But unfortunately for him Flash just shrugged all the blows off as he quickly got off the ground. Looking more dazed then injured.

Which only encouraged the winter solider to beat him down harder as he lunged at him once again with his metal arm…only for it to be casually catch by the goblin in an eerily similar matter to what Spider-Man did to him years ago. But unlike the last time. The fiend did away with the witty banter and praise. By immediately tossing the Winter Solider across the street and into the front display window of a clothing store.

Yet the moment Flash did that, Sam rammed right into him and lifted him up into the air. Grabbing hold of the Goblin and hoping to slam him into nearby parked car. But the avenger underestimated the goblins strength and skill. Who quickly overpowered Sam, flipped, over and then kicked himself off of him and landing back down on the street. While Sam used the little time, he had left in the air to readjusted himself and flew back up into the air just right before he hit the vehicle.

Sam then readied his twine guns at the Goblin as he continued hovered up in the air with his jetpack.

'I suggest that you surrender now Roderick' the captain spoke up and while Flash's eyes then widen at his middle name being mention while also noticing Bucky waking out of the wrecked store with pieces of clothing still on him. All the while having his own gun train on him.

'Any minute the rest of the Avengers will surround you and leave you with with no option to escape. So, unless you want the beat down of a life time, I suggest you put your hands above your head now!' The Falcon demanded and Flash gripped his fists in frustration.

He knew that the avenger was right and knew he would get creamed if the rest of the avengers would showed up. But he couldn't afford to surrender not when he had so much to lose if did.

And so Thompson did something desperate.

The Goblin let out a massive breath of fire to the street. Unleashing a massive inferno that obscure his movements and making the Captain Falcon and Winter Solider to backway by its sheer force and heat. Then in the next moment while the two heroes were distracted. Thompson shot both of them with a heat beam from his finger tips. knocking both the heroes down on the pavement. From which then Flash used his glider to fly out of the hell-storm and into the sky. Thinking that he finally eluded his pursuers.

Only for The Goblin to sudden feel himself forcibly restrained by telepathic hold, but a second later he realized that his body was glowing a translucent red and then with a knowing dread, Flash turn head and saw the scarlet witch behind him. With her right hand glowing with crimson energy and in a holding gesture.

Then before he could do anything else Thompson was slammed back into the ground. The impact dispersing his glider to dust and sending him rolling across the road pavement. Yet when he got up his heart sank even further. When he found himself surrounded by not only the Falcon and The winter Solider, but also the Scarlet Witch, the Hulk, Shang Chi and the Wasp.

Thompson couldn't help but feel so helpless. Even if he were to use his latest goblin formula he doubt it would be enough to take on all these avengers at once. But even then he had to at least try in order to save Liz from that manic Iron-lad.

But before he could do just that. The entire area was suddenly surrounded by green misty fog. Much to both Flash's and the avenger's shock.

Then before any of the heroes could retaliate. Each were suddenly attack by members of the Insidious. With Captain America and the Winter Solider blasted away by the Shocker from above, the Wasp nearly gutted in the chest down by the Chameleon had she not dodge out of the way at the last minute from behind and The Hulk, Shang Chi and the Scarlet slightly stun by the energy blasts shot by several of mysterio's androids that flew around them.

Flash's orange Goblin eyes then widen in confusion and yet relief that his teammates had come in to save him…until Norman spoke through his intercom.

'It would seemed that you are in quite a predicament Mr. Thompson.' Norman said coolly from the phone. Which only made Flash want screamed out in fright

'Did you send the team to back me up Mr. Osborn?'

'Who else? 'the chair-man said in sarcastic yet even tone.. Only for his voice to quickly turn harsh. 'However Thomson this gesture of generosity towards you is not for free…and I am hoping that you are willing to offer payment'

Flash's heart then skip a beat in horror on hearing what Norman had just said. But knowing how much his girl-friend was endanger and what would happen if he refused Norman. The goblin teen sigh and conceded.

'Alright what do you want me to do?'

'Meanwhile at downtown New York

Damn it!' Peter cussed to himself, right after Harley shut himself off and went on to interrogate his friend and he himself having no way to track him down. However even as the web-hero pushed both of hands against his face and sitting himself on top a rooftop seething frustration and anger. He knew couldn't allow his distress cloud his actions. Not now when Flash's well-being is on the clock.

'Sharen, I want you to hack into every camera in the city, phone, satellite, anything else to find were Harley took Flash and as fast as possible!' Peter demanded and the AI for once did not make one sassy remark.

'Yes Peter but you also have another incoming call from Bucky' the A.I reported. Much Peter sock.

'What? Put him through!' The web-hero demanded and he immediately heard the Winter Soldier's message.

'Parker the terrorist gang is here along with the Goblin. It would seem the moment Harley decided to go after and interrogate Thompson they decided to rescue him at the last minute. We are to hold the ground here but I am afraid you are going to handle the Goblin and rescue your friend on your own! Bucky said immediately and Peter heart shock in angst nut quickly focused on the task at hand

'Alright You can leave it to me!' Peter replied before hanging up and sigh In frustration..

'Please hang on a bit more floor Flash!' Peter thought. Until he received a message from Sharen of were the Harley and Thompson were last seen.

Later at the warehouse

'Look dude, I seriously do not know what you are talking with me being an accomplice or anything, just let me go!' Liz pleaded. While struggling to keep her act up even as she began to panic before the enraged Harley.

'Shut it!' Keener snapped and the disguised Liz quickly complied...but then her body froze when the former got up right into her face.

'No listen here. I am going to take you to the helicarrier and present you with the evidence of you working with the power-gang and see if you can continue to protect your innocence then!' Harley declared. While Liz just continues to look at Keener in confusion.

'What evidence!? I have already told that was just going out to some clu-

'OH, JUST QUIT WITH THE EXCUSES ALREADY AND JUST ADMIT YOUR GUILT!' Harley roared at Liz who quivered away in fear.

'We know that you don't hang with any clubs, Flash, we know, that you were talking to your henchmen on the in the back alley and the distortion in the audio and NO, it wasn't because of some stupid interference or a glitchy single. It was flat out confirmed by our crew to be time and space distortion!'

On hearing that Liz was rendered absolutely speechless. Now realizing it wasn't just accusations but actual real evidence being used against her boyfriend who she is currently disguised as and not only that but if Harley actually did tried to take her in to Shield. The spy-organization would Definitely would able to tell she was impersonating Flash.

It was all for nothing. She has to use her last resort and one given to her father in case she was ever caught and with no way to talk it out.

'Oh, what's this...keeping yourself quite for once-' before the iron-lad could finish. He realized too late that Liz, quickly pressed a button on her left sleeve and a unleashed brilliant flash of light that engulfed the entire room, blinding the Hero. Which Liz then took her chance to press another button under her shirt, to turn herself invisible and hiding behind some crates.

'So, you decided to admit yourself with actions, eh, Thompson or should I just call you goblin junior?' Keener ranted while Liz slowly yet steadily circled around the crates, until she was able to see the open exist door behind the mad hero.

'I mean seriously, I don't knowing why you bother even hiding anymore. Given how you are clearly using tech that a so-called innocent like shouldn't have and knowing that once you are confronted by Shield. You would have no choice but to admit you are involved with your dear daddy dearest!' Harley continue to mock. But Liz continued to ignore him. Until she was sure his back was turn and looking at her opposite direction. Then upon seeing her chance. Liz made a break for it.

'But more over...' Harley said lowly while turning his head. 'Is the fact you think you can hide from me'

And before Liz realized it two identical iron-man suites appeared before her and blocking her exist. Now realizing to her horror that her cloaking suite didn't hid her from the enraged Iron-lad at all.

He was just playing with her like a trapped animal.

'Now then…'Haley said as his nanite iron-helmet form over his face and his tone becoming much more mechanical and threatening. 'Are you ready to talk Eugene?
