Going Under

Iron Man flies down the streets in a blaze as his repulsor thrusters fire and spark. Thor is close behind with his mighty hammer leading the way, crimson cape fluttering in the wind. Iron Man then slams into the paved courtyard area in the midst of Wall Street, cracks radiate outwards.
"JARVIS scan the surrounding banks." Tony commands as he looks around. Thor hits the paved courtyard area not more than ten feet away, he does a little more damage than Iron Man.
"What is it that you suspect, Man of Iron?" Thor asks as he strolls up looking around casually but his sky blue eyes are sharp and studying. People start gawking and pulling out their phones… taking photos and video. The power comes back on… and two seconds later…
"Sir… there is a disruption in the vaults at the Federal Reserve." JARVIS says in Tony's H.U.D.
"Well then… let's go see if anyone is still down there." Iron Man says as he blasts off to the Reserve. Thor whirls Mjolnir twice and sails in a graceful arc to their destination. "Hey, Charlotte's Web… take the subway tunnels that near the Federal Reserve and tell me what you see down there." Iron Man then says as he lands.
"Can do." Comes Spidey's voice over the comlink.
"It doesn't look like they came in this way." Thor says as he inspects the still pristine entrance.
"Come on… We're going to do the hard task." Iron Man says as he starts strolling for the entrance.
"What is that, Lord Stark?" Thor asks curiously as he looks confused by their task being the harder one.
"We're going to ask permission to check their vault." Iron Man says as he makes it up to the revolving doors. "Watch your cape, Goldielocks." Iron Man then cautions as Thor watches people come out of the strange spinning door only to look at them funny.

"Pardon me." Thor says to a few people who come out as he gathers his cape with one hand and follows Iron Man inside. The bank's interior is still pristine, no forced entry here either. There is a mummer and people get curious about Tony Stark's Iron Man and Thor, Norse God of Thunder, showing up here of all places.
"What can I do for you today, Mr. Stark?" The bank manager says as he approaches. The balding man in the tan suit is all smiles for Iron Man then gives a curious look to Thor before returning his gaze to Iron Man whose face plate has come up.
"Okay this is gonna sound silly… but trust me on this… Apparently there's been a bank robbery and it turns out it was your bank's vault." Iron Man says to the bank manager.
"Impossible." The manager says incredulously.
"Nothing's impossible anymore… this guy is proof of that." Tony says as he points a thumb to Thor who gives one of his adorable, goofy smiles. "So just give your boys a call and see what's going on down there. I've seen Die Hard with a Vengeance… I know how this works." Tony then adds as he carefully leans against the counter waiting. The bank manager flusters but moves around to the other side of the counter and picks up the phone there. He dials down and the phone rings… and rings… and rings… and keeps ringing… there is no answer for five minutes.
"That's odd." The bank manager says and Thor looks to him curiously.
"What?" Tony asks not really surprised.
"No one is answering. They answer on the first ring… second at least." The bank manager says as worry starts to creep into his voice. The face plate comes down.
"Then let me and my godly buddy here go check it out while you call the cops." Iron Man says in his tinny voice and the bank manager immediately escorts the two Avengers to the elevator that leads to the vault below.

"Great… I get the glamorous job. Typical." Spider-man says sarcastically as he increases the throttle on his Spidey-Bike and zooms down the subway tunnels following the route displayed on his bike's Display Screen Consol (D.S.C.). His 'spidey sense' tickles and so Spider-man slows down then halts as he notices that a side wall of the tunnel has been busted through.
"Umm… looks like it's time to go down the rabbit hole." Spider-man quips to himself and angles his bike. The wheels go from quad-wheel to bi-wheel and so the narrower vehicle goes through the opening. He finds himself in another set of tunnels and scans both ways in infrared before he follows some scuff marks left by the newest Rhino obviously. His Spidey-Bike goes back to quad-wheel and rides the rail down… 'spidey sense' tingles hard and Spider-man steers off of the rails, moves up the side of the tunnel, along the wall as a single subway car races past on the tracks.
"What the hell?" Spidey says as his bike comes to a skidding stop back on the ground beside the rails. He pulls back hard on his throttle and spins his back tire kicking up gravel before he races after the oddity. He quickly catches up and sets his Spidey-Bike to autopilot after setting it to follow this car no matter what… he even drops a web line from the front web shooter as extra insurance. Spider-man then jumps to the back of the odd subway car and looks inside the windows. There are several gold bricks stacked down each side of this gutted car.
"Whoa! Thar be gold, Matey." Spidey says in his worst pirate voice ever then chuckles as he crawls up the back and along the top. He then moves to speak into his wrist communicator… but his 'spidey sense' starts pinging something awful. Spider-man rolls to the side just as a metal claw comes up through the roof of the subway car. He catches himself on the edge and looks inside… in the strobing lights of the tunnel, he sees a chubby guy with shaggy, greasy-looking black hair, red goggles, and four long metal arms… two of which he is using like legs.
"Okay… apparently I've stumbled into a slasher flick of some sorts." Spider-man says then leaps to the side as a metal arms comes racing through the window. "Hello!" The claw at the end of the arm opens and the red light at the juncture of the three claws glows bright. 'That doesn't look good!' Spidey thinks and flips up to land on the roof again as a blast fires from that arm. He quickly maneuvers and tags that arm with a web line… then promptly yanks pulling it up, Spider-man hastily lays down some webbing to trap that arm with claws closed. Spidey then rolls backwards and comes down on the opposite side of the car. This multi-armed man is trying to yank his trapped metal arm free… then suddenly the free arm spots him.
"Uh oh." Spider-man says and drops a quick line as he spins away and holds on for dear life. The arm comes out and strikes at him. Spider-man pushes up against the side of the car and dodges the metal arm just barely. He then lands upon it and holds on… he is pulled inside the car through the broken window on that arm. Spider-man quickly fires both web shooters then ties those lines together around the metal arm. He flips away in a corkscrew spin and lands in a crouch in the center aisle between the stacks of gold bricks.
"You know this belongs to other people, right?" Spider-man says as his strange foe starts yanking his two trapped arms around. "And you know I just can't let you take any of this, right?" Spider-man says as he stands and fires off some more webbing effectively trapping and securing both arms. Now this greasy, little, metal-armed guy is dangling by those upper arms.
"Oh? But I will get away with this… Menace." The chubby guy says coldly with a humorless chuckle… then his two lower metal arms come up, claws snapping.
"Oh boy." Spider-man says then he jumps to leap over the first arm to strike, spins in the air as the other throws a gold brick… which Spidey catches with a web line continuing his spin… but just before the gold brick impacts this goon in the side of his rounded belly… both lower arms react. The one Spidey leapt over, comes up to hit the Wall-crawler from below whilst the other one whips up to catch the brick in its claws. The greasy looking man smiles confidently… where as just a split second ago he looked like he was going to need a new pair of undies. Spider-man is slammed into the roof of the subway car… leaving a dent… then the arm moves away and he drops flat on his face to the floor. An arm comes in to snatch him up by the back of his neck and lift him up, feet dangling barely two inches off the floor.
"So much trouble you cause… and by the looks of you, I'd say you either are a teenager or just out of those formative years. Mr. Osborn would be more tickled than a peach to see I have brought you in… alive." The odd man says with a disturbing chuckle. "I have such plans for you… Spider brat." The free arm's claws snap closed and open repeatedly as well as spin with this odd-ball's excitement.
Spider-man flicks his fingers and there's a little 'tink' sound against the metal arm holding him… and suddenly… the Widow Bite sparks to life and the goon with the metal arms screams as he is tased. Those metal arms go slack. Spider-man wastes no time and wraps up this weirdo nice and neat… securing this oddity from behind.
"There we go… wrapped up nice-n-neat." Spider-man says as he pats the greasy guy on the back. The subway car then slows down. Spider-man's 'spidey sense' jars him hard as his awareness goes beyond the subway car to what lies in wait down the tracks.
"Just great… reinforcements." Spider-man says and goes out the broken window… as he goes… he leaves a wireless microcam behind. He crawls to the back of the car and jumps to his Spidey-Bike and throws it in reverse… the web line goes taut then breaks off. He goes back about a thousand feet and stops. He watches on his bike's Display Screen Consol the feed from that mircocam he left in the subway car. He makes certain to record this too.
The train comes to a stop and the doors open. Spider-man watches as Harry steps onto the car, smiling evilly until he sees the goofball with metal arms. Spider-man catches a name… Doctor Otto Octavius. Spider-man chuckles to himself as he thinks, 'HA! The guy with eight arms is named Doc Ock!'
"Oh man, that's funny." Spider-man whispers out loud as he shakes his head. His 'spidey sense' then buzzes in his brain.

"What in the world?" The bank manager says as he looks down the corridor past Iron Man and sees a couple of the security guards laying on the tiled floor… in pools of red, red blood.
"You might wanna go back to the elevator now." Iron Man says and the bank manager nods hurriedly in his nervousness and bolts back the way they came. He makes it up safely. Thor steps ahead and surveys the damage.
"These claw marks are odd. The beast that did this dropped from above and went through them like paper." Thor comments as he moves through the scene of carnage like it's nothing. Tony thinks he might just hurl at the sight of so much blood and shredded bodies. "It went up the wall here coming from this direction." Thor says as he points down an adjacent hall between the guard area and the elevator.
"Okay, moving on." Iron Man says as he power walks past Thor down this side hall. He keeps his breathing steady as he checks things out. "It's an access tunnel…" Iron Man says as he scans everything and tries super hard NOT to think of all that blood and gore behind him. "Heavy security." He notes as he sees all the cameras and a few keypad entry doors… then Iron Man reaches the access door to the maintenance tunnels… "Holy shit. This is where it came in." Iron Man says as he looks at the shredded handle on the door. 'What the hell can go through steel like that?!' Tony finds himself wondering… then he finds out why curiosity killed the cat…
It comes out of no where and hits him really hard from behind… Iron Man is knocked to the ground and the Lizard starts clawing at the back of the armor suit… slashing and tearing at the metal… it resists… but just barely. He launches his micro-flares from a hip-side compartment… those do nothing but seem to piss this monster off… 'Okay… time for plan B.' Tony thinks and fires his chest repulsor. The pair shoot up and hit the ceiling… cracking the concrete. The Lizard takes the brunt of the damage, but when they hit the ground… Tony's reptilian attacker increases in its fervor.
"Thor! THOR!" Iron Man shouts… then the sound of the metallic thud comes as the Lizard is struck by the mystic hammer of the Thunderer. "Thanks, Point Break." Iron Man says a bit breathy as he stands. Tony then halts at the sight before them… the Lizard stands and turns to look at them then crouches and snarls.
"Oh! This should be interesting." Iron Man says as he raises his hands and starts firing blast after blast. He even fires a chest beam at the fallen reptile man. "That should take care of that." Iron Man says and turns away to start scanning the area. Thor watches the fallen Lizard closely… not trusting this thing to be completely dead. His caution proves true for as he just starts to turn his head away… there is movement.
"Oy! Stark! The Beast yet lives!" Thor shouts as he spins his hammer in his palm and readies to fight. A clawed hand reaches out and claws at the floor. Long, sharp claws dig into the concrete easily as the Lizard lifts itself and flicks its forked tongue out like a snake. The tail whips back and wags from side to side as it crouches readying to strike.
"Kill." The Lizard hisses out.
"You speak foul beast? Then speak!" Thor challenges as he starts to whirl his hammer slowly.
"I… am going… to kill you." The Lizard responds and springs forward. As they meet, Thor releases his hammer and it connects squarely under the Lizard's chin knocking the creature back until it hits the opposite wall. The hammer holds the Lizard for several seconds then drops. The Lizard remains upright and leaps towards Thor damn near instantly. Thor lifts his right hand as though he were reaching towards the charging reptile… but Mjolnir smacks the Lizard in the back of the head and Thor catches his hammer.
"Huh? Not likely." Iron Man says in response to the Lizard's statement as Thor then sets his hammer squarely on the back of the man-like reptile's neck. "So… on to the vault?" Tony adds to Thor.
"Aye." Thor says… but a clawed hand grabs the Thunderer's booted ankle and pulls. Thor kicks the Lizard's face causing the hammer to jostle on the creature's neck… Mjolnir slides off… and the Lizard leaps up and… runs away. Iron Man blasts off several repulsor beams at the fleeing reptile man… but he gets away.
"What. The. HELL?!" Iron Man says as the Lizard disappears down the access tunnels and into New York City's underground labyrinth. "Oh Damn!" Tony then says as he thinks of Peter down in the tunnels. "Spidey? Spider-man… do you hear me?" Static. "Dammit, kid… you've got a nasty piece of work coming your way!" Still nothing. Tony growls in frustration knowing the concrete is interfering with the signal. "Thor." Iron Man says as he turns to the Thunderer. "Follow that Lizard… and makes sure the kid doesn't get hurt."
"I shall, Lord Stark. Good luck with investigating the vault." Thor says then dashes off to follow the Lizard through the tunnels. The head of his mystic hammer glowing an eerie electric blue as he goes. Iron Man turns and makes for the vault.

Meanwhile… several minutes after the three-way battle royale…

'HA! The guy with eight arms is named Doc Ock!' Spider-man thinks. "Oh man, that's funny." The Web-slinger then whispers out loud as he shakes his head. His 'spidey sense' then buzzes in his brain something fierce. He hits the throttle and zooms in reverse just as a large form drops from the ceiling at his former location. He has to jump from his bike as the Lizard's tail sweeps across at him. Spider-man flips and lands perfectly in a crouch on the ceiling as his bike moves further down the tracks out of harms way.
"Dr. Connors?" Spider-man then says curiously as he eyes the hulking form of the Lizard through his nightvision lenses on his mask… then he has to jump and dodge as the beast swipes at him. Spider-man nails a direct hit of web blast to the Lizard's face then anchors a drag line to a scaly ankle… he tugs hard and topples the Lizard just as it claws the webbing off of its face. The Lizard quickly rolls over and swings his tail at Spider-man… who ducks then rolls away springing up to crouch upon the wall.
Spider-man launches several web blasts that snare and trap the deadly claws. The smaller red and blue suited superhero then leaps from the wall, cartwheels away over the tracks, leaps for the next wall then flips behind the Lizard… dropping drag lines as he goes to secure the rampaging reptile. Spider-man then bounds backwards flipping only to stop a dozen or so feet away. "That should wrap this up nicely." He says and you can hear the smirk in his tone… then the Lizard roars and rips out of the webbing. "Or maybe not." Spider-man says with some panic. He crouches low readying for the attack… which the Lizard starts to execute… but suddenly, he hesitates and scoffs at the Wall-crawler then runs away towards Harry and company.

"That was odd." Spider-man says as he then hurries after his Spidey-bike.

_
Thor uses the glowing uru head of his mystic hammer to illuminate his way as he follows the scratched claw marks upon the concrete floor of the subway tunnel. The reptile man is following the tracks Thor notes as he goes. He soon finds a large hole in the wall… but no claw marks from the Lizard go into it… so Thor continues on.
The minutes tick past and then Thor hears the whurring sound of the electric motor coming from up ahead. Thor readies for a fight but soon relaxes as he sees that it is the motorcycle that Stark had built for the Man of Spiders. The 'Spidey-Cycle' soon comes into view with Spider-man driving it.
"Oh hey, Val Kilmer." Spider-man says to Thor as he pulls up and stops next to Thor. "I take it things didn't go well at the bank?" Spider-man then asks.
"Aye, you're assumption is correct." Thor says with a frown at his failure to defeat the Man-Reptile creature. He then gives the red and blue clad youth a curious look. "Did you encounter anything in these labyrinthine tunnels?" Thor then asks.
"Yep." Spider-man says popping the 'p'. "Fought this creepy weirdo named Doc Ock in the getaway car. There were tons of gold bricks piled inside… and that weirdo packs a punch too. Whew!" Spider-man then says swinging his legs as he sits on his 'Spidey-Bike' (now quad-cycle). "I managed to set up a spycam in the car… aaannnddd… I even planted a tracker on the metal armed goon after I fought him. Man, I wish had filmed that fight… it was awesome." Spider-man is just rambling now and Thor's only thought is…
"We must tell Stark about this!" Thor declares and races back to where he left the metal suited Mortal with Spider-man following close behind.
