********THREE DAYS EARLIER********
Black Widow, Tony and Cap were on their way to the Shield Hellicarrier. That was where Green Goblin, Venom, Sandman and Mysterio were being held. They were villians brought here by Spider man.
And to be honest, Cap was impressed. They seemed pretty powerful. Avengers level threat powerful.
They came to the Hellicarrier and stoped in front of the first cage:
Venom.
Or just Eddie Brock in his current situation. Him and the symbiote were being kept in different cells.
Eddie was sitting on the large metal chair and was looking at the cell's glass wall with blank eyes. He had huge bags under his eyes and he was looking really pale. Like a very sick man. To be honest Cap found the view disturbing.
"Mr. Brock?" Black Widow said.
"Mr. Brock can you hear us?"
Eddie Brock just kept staring at them.
"Okey, the guy's just lost it. Let's just keep moving shall we?" Tony said but the other two refused to leave.
After a few seconds the trio saw movement coming from the man.
"What do you want." He asked.
His voice was on a different level of cracked.
"Information." Black Widow said.
"In exchange of what?" Brock asked.
There was a silence in the room after that question.
"Yeah, just what I thought." Brock said.
"Okay then, goodbye. Hope we won't meet ever again." Brock said with a grin on his face.
"What if I tell you the information is about Spider man?" Black Widow asked.
"Why do you need information about Spider man? I thought you heroes were supposed to be buddy buddies."
"You think he's a hero?" Captain America asked.
"Well, if he is a hero, than it makes me the villian. So no. I don't think he is a hero. But fair again, I don't think neither of you are. You are just villians responsible for more deaths than I could even imagine. Villians that are embraced by the media and the public itself. Causing troubles more than the ones you solve. But here we are, standing on the opposite sides of the glass. When we are not different from each other. The only difference can be the public influence. If people saw any one of you, holding the head of one of your enemies, they would question what your enemy might have done to deserve that. But if people see one of us doing the same thing, they would start thinking on what should be done to us to get what we 'deserved'. Anyway, enough of the chit chat. Goodbye heroes." Brock said and started looking blankly at the glass again.
Cap turned to see Tony and Nat just as shocked as him. Even Nat was having a hard time hiding her emotions. None of them were expecting an answer like this.
"We should move on." Nat finally said.
They walked to the next cell:
Mysterio.
"Quentin Beck?" Tony asked this time.
"Tony Stark." Beck said like he was spitting the name.
"Hello boss. Came to pay a visit? To see how your once employee doing?" Beck asked while he had his eyes locked on Tony.
"Nope. Not doing this." Tony said and he turned back to leave when Steve stopped him.
"C'mon Tony, he might actually help."
"The guy's nuts!" Tony shouted.
"There was a reason why I fired him. It's because the guy's a freaking physcopath."
"A pyschopath with information." Black Widow said.
"What even makes you think that you can trust a single word coming out of his mouth." Tony asked.
"I'll understand if he lies." Black Widow said.
Tony sighed loudly and he turned to face Beck again.
"Spider man. What do you know about him?" Tony asked with an annoyed voice.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you because of all this glass cell thing and everything."
"You can hear as perfectly Beck so cut the crap and tell us what you know." Tony said.
"Okay, okay. But I need to have some air first." Beck said.
The trio knew what he meant by all of this. Mysterio wanted to go out from his cell in exchange of giving information.
"Have as much as you want while you still can." Tony said.
He was getting more and more angry and Steve was scared that Tony would actually try to kill Mysterio.
"I think I wasn't being specific enough." Mysterio said approaching to the glass. "I want to have the air which is outside this stupid box."
"Okay Beck. I am going to say this in the most basic and kind way. NO FUCKIN' WAY!" Tony said, shouting at the last part.
"Then I have no idea who this 'Spider man' is." Mysterio said with an evil grin.
"C'mon, he is not going to tell us anything." Black Widow said and started walking to the next cell.
"Can't we torture him or something?" Tony asked with hope.
Steve looked at him in disbelief.
"To get information." Tony said defending himself against Captain's looks.
"Let's just move on." Cap said.
They moved to the next cell:
Sandman.
"Hello Mr. Marko." Black Widow said.
"We are here to ask you a few questions."
"Fuck off." was the only answer they could get from Sandman.
"Well, that went well." Tony said with a sarcastic tone.
"I gotta congratulate this spider guy. If he fought these a-holes and managed not to kill them, he is DEFFINITELLY not a menace." He added.
The final cell:
Norman Osborn aka Green Goblin.
"Osborn." Tony said with a cold tone.
"Stark." Osborn replied with the same coldness.
"We need to ask you a few questions about Spider man." Natasha said.
A cold and sick laugh came from Green Goblin.
"Spider man?" He said.
"I might have a little information on him." He added staring at Tony.
"What I don't have is a reason. A reason to tell you those information." Osborn said.
"We can make a deal. Depends on the information." Black Widow said.
Osborn moved forward to the glass.
"What if I say I know who he is." Osborn said with a smirk.
The three Avengers just stood there. None of them expected this much information.
"And what's the catch?" Natasha asked and before he could answer,
"Don't ever think about going out." She added with a threatening voice.
"The spider. I want you to prison him." Green Goblin replied.
"And I want you to make him know that I was the one who helped you." He added.
The three looked at each other.
"Need to have a talk." Captain said and they left the room.
"Should we do it?" Natasha asked.
"How can we know that he is a bad guy? Maybe he's a good guy. Then we're going to have to prison him. It is just not fair." Captain said.
"Caps right. And Osborn is crazy. How can we know he is not going to lie?" Tony asked.
"We can't." Cap answered.
"The information can help us a lot." Natasha stated.
"Is it the right thing to do though?" Cap asked.
"Well... There isn't much to argue then." Tony said and they returned to the room where the cage that kept Osborn was in.
"So... Did you prepare a cell for the Spider?" Osborn asked with an evil smirk.
"No deal." Tony said shortly.
Osborn seemed shocked a bit but then his expression was replaced with an angry one.
"You are making a mistake!" He shouted and started punching the glass wall.
"YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE!" The trio left the room, leaving a frustrated and still shouting Osborn behind.
"Okay, this whole thing was a waste of time." Tony said while walking out of the building when they heard shouts coming from Sandman's cage.
They walked to the room and saw Marko looking straight at them.
"Fine." Sandman said.
"I'll tell you one thing. But I have one condition. I wanna see my daughter, Keemia." Marko said.
"That can be arranged." Natasha said.
"I wanna see her first, then I'll tell you everything you wanna know." Marko said.
The three looked at each other and came to a silent agreement. Steve went outside and called Fury. He confirmed the existence of Marko's daughter and approved his claim.
After 40 minutes of wait, Keemia arrived to the hellicarrier.
"DAD!" She shouted when she saw Marko.
She ran directly to the glass and placed her hand to the glass. Marko did the same from the other side of the glass.
"Don't worry dad. You'll be out soon." She whispered to Marko.
Three SHIELD agents came and took Keemia away from the glass, despite her shouts.
"Sometimes I forget which side we're on." Steve said looking at the tragic scene.
"Okay Marko, you saw your kid, she's here and we'll leave her for 5 minutes in your cell. We kept our end of the bargain. It's your turn." Tony said.
Sandman looked after his daughter once more and sighed. "Fine. Have you ever heard of the Sinister Six?"
