(Arrowverse Earth-1)
Central City
Spider-Man, Flash and Green Arrow quickly make there way towards the place where the blast occurred. The blast taking out several people that were there.
"Alright" Barry said as he was the first one to reach there "What do we have here, a terrorist bomber, a meta-human or-" he then turned towards the fire from where the figure of a guy in green suit with giant tail, more like a stinger, waving casually behind him. "And another demented bad guy, this time with a tail."
Behind him Spider-Man and Arrow just arrived and landed near the Flash. The lens on the mask of Spider-Man widened as he looked towards the guy, which was noticed by the emerald archer, that was emerging from the wreckage.
"A friend of yours." The Green Arrow calmly asks the teen as the guy came out of the wreckage completely and now stood before three heroes, all of them could also hear the sirens of the police officers that were coming towards them.
"Spider-Man" the guy in green suit spoke after nobody made the move, the bystanders that were gaping at the three heroes that from the past few weeks have been seen working together taking down various criminals and robbers, and now this green suited freak had came out of nowhere and had been behind the blast in the area. "It has been a while hasn't it web-head, I finally get to see you in this God-knows-where place and here I was thinking that you were going to hide behind that mentor 'Stark' of yours. And I see you have made some new freinds here too."
At the time the green suited guy was speaking, the comms in the suit came to life signaling Barry that everyone back in the cortex were gathered "Alright Barry" Cisco voice was the first to came through the earpiece all of them had. "I am activating the cameras for the visual." There was silence as Cisco got the visual and he was surprised to see the figure of a very familiar person that he once saw in his vibe.
"Holy smokes" Felicity voice was the second to came through the comms when she probably saw the destruction that the guy might have cause "That is one weird and freaky costume." Or maybe she was more judging about the costume than about the destruction that has been caused.
"Gargan" Spider-Man spoke up as he looked towards the guy with the green suit. The other two looked towards the arachnid themed hero as to why did he knows his name. "Still wearing the suit, thought you ditched it, Scorpion."
"Oh I will ditch it once I remove that mask of your face web-head. On second thought let me just remove your head." Scorpion said as he got ready to lunge at the hero but was stopped when an arrow was shot at him which bounced right of his suit. Scorpion looked at the arrow that was now lying at his feet, and then turned to look at the teen hero and then to his side where the Green Arrow looked at the man in surprise, finally Scorpion spoke in a condescending tone "were you expecting something to happen?"
"Oh yeah the suit is bullet proof so its going to be hard to pierce him with arrows." Peter spoke from beside him.
"You could have told me earlier." The Green Arrow muttered back.
"Tell your sidekicks to go back home spidey." Scorpion spoke again not missing the affronted look he got from the Flash and a glare from the Green Arrow "And tell the Hawkeye wannabe to stop glaring at me if he knows what's good for him, this is between you and me." As he completed his sentence the scarlet speedster stepped forward to speak to the Scorpion.
"Hey look man, we don't know what's your damage bu-" "Look Out." Peter shouted and for first time Barry and Oliver are quiet thankful for the kid's sixth sense (Oliver still refused to call it spidey sense) when a torrent of green goo/liquid thing shot out of the man's tail. Barry used his speed to get out of there whereas Oliver and Peter jumped out of the way. Both watched how the pavement on which the the liquid fell dissolved it into nothing.
"Anything else you would like to add kid?" Oliver asks again.
"Yes apparently he could throw acid goop from his tail." Scorpion looked at the trio when Oliver shot a bola arrow at him to slow him down. "He could also crawl walls like me, has super-strength, and his stinger is coated in a paralysing agent." All three of them watched as the Scorpion used his tail to free himself from the wires that were wrraped around him.
"Oh you shouldn't have done that." Scorpion muttered then used his tail to fling one of the manhole lids towards the three forcing them to dodge.
"Any weakness?" Oliver asks again as he shot another one of his trick arrows to stop Scorpion in his path.
"Well he doesn't have many as he was made stronger and the suit was specifically made to either stop or kill me so from my side he doesn't have much." Peter said as he used his webs to the face of scorpion.
"What do you mean he was made specifically to stop you?" Caitlin voice came through the comms worry clear in the sound.
"Yeah, exactly as it sounds." Peter answers her.
Scorpion in his anger tore the webs and was ready to jump when he was suddenly punched from the side by a fast moving streak. He was punched a few more time when another punch from the streak was punched him one more time with Scorpion flying back from the force of the final punch. Flash stopped after the punch had been made and the Scorpion started to stand up again.
"Oh the training started to pay off." Barry said as he moved his hands from side to side ready for another punch. He prepared himself to run again.
Scorpion was annoyed when the punches started having raining on him by the resident hero of this Central City. He knew from what he had heard of the hero being said to be fast, so fast that he sometimes is not visible to the eye. It's only thanks to his enhanced strength, durability, healing factor that he had not taken more damage then he should, his reflexes were quick but he was not quick as the Spider-Man, whose quickness was aided by his flexibility, and also he was sure that he also had a sixth sense that tell him of dangers. He was again pelted by the punches from the speedster hero and in annoyance, Scorpion swiped the area around him in a circular motion, and to his utter delight the motion made the tail struck Flash, who after being hit by a tail that had been made of cybernetics and metal alloys flew away and dragged on the floor.
"Flash" several voice shouted worry as the hero went skidding away by the villain.
"I am okay." Flash replied in a dazed voice. "What hit me?"
"A tail of a scorpion themed villain." Cisco voice came in through the comms as he looked over the fight from Peter's suit.
"Thanks for stating the obvious man" Barry shot back "Man I hate villains with tail, this is the second time I've been swatted by it."
With Scorpion who was now fighting Green Arrow in hand to hand combat, with the only thing in favour of the emerald archer was the skills that he had developed over the years. Oliver had known that Spider-Man had super-strength, because which he holds back most the times and right now that he is fighting the Scorpion, who was made sure to be superior to Spider-Man, he understood Peter's feeling about holding back, because he was sure that if any of those punches hit him his head would cave. The punches he uses are making crater in the ground. Oliver gave one more jab to scorpion face but soon his ankle picked up by the Scorpion's tail.
"I've to say" Scorpion started again as he looked at the archer who was now hung upside down by the tail "You are almost a better version of the Hawkeye." He was about to use Oliver as the punching bag when Spider-Man shot his webs at his hand stopping him from punching the hero.
"Let him go Scorpion." Peter said as he shot another web at the hands of the scorpion. Scorpion on the other hand turned to look at tbe spider who was holding the web, and then turned to look at the man he was holding.
"With pleasure Spider-Man." With that he used all his strength in the tail to fling the Green Arrow away and he heard several gasps came from the earpiece that he was wearing. Peter seeing that quickly went to action as he quickly zipped and created a web in the place where Oliver was about to fall. Oliver breathed a sigh of relief when he fell on the web but his eyes widened when he saw where Scorpion was.
"Thank God-" "Watch out!" Felicity voice was cut off by Oliver who saw Scorpion jumping on the teen hero. Spider-Man was very thankful for the spider sense when that happened because if it wasn't for it he would've been on the other side of the wall with a deep injury on his head. Peter jumped again when Scorpion used the stinger to attack Spider-Man. Spider-Man jumped up the wall and began crawling up with Scorpion following him.
"You know crawling the wall is supposed to be my gimmick, you know with how spiders stick to the wall and all." Spider-man spoke as he and scorpion started fighting on the side of the building "Speaking of sticky, there is something sticking on your face."
He shot another web at his face covering his eyes which made Scorpion groan as he tore them out in annoyed anger. "Oh my bad" Peter said as he raised his hand in mock surrender "those are just my webs."
"Stop right there and come to me like a good bug." Scorpion yelled out as he began crawling up following Spider-Man. Peter then stood up and shot a web at his side.
"Spiders" He said as he pulled the webs "aren't bugs." As he said this he launched himself at the Scorpion with gravity adding extra force to the kick that he delivered to the villain. "We are arachnids." He finished as he stood up at his place. "You really need to get done with atleast your middle school education Gargan." Peter said again "After all both of us are in the same group, so just for your own reputation learn it." Scorpion used his tail to keep him from falling by stabbing the tail in the wall. After he got his footing back he attacked Spider-Man again with much more vigor than before.
Below them Barry and Oliver watched how Spider-Man dodged the attack but was still a bit reluctant to attack him. Barry was ready to run up to help Peter but was stopped by Oliver by placing his hand on the shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Oliver asks his freind who looked at him as if he seriously asked this question.
"Oh I dont know" Barry started sarcastically "maybe I am trying to run up there and help Spider-Man take him down."
"And do tell how will you achieve that?" Oliver said again "Because unlike you they don't have to go up and down they could have an all out brawl at that place and you could do nothing more than run there. If you run towards the place there are chances that you will be thrown away and will fall to your death. That place is their playing ground. To actually help him we need to get Scorpion of him first." Oliver finished as Peter kicked scorpion again towards a window breaking it and falling inside the building.
"Now we could help them." Oliver said as he saw Peter shove the Scorpion inside the building. "Can you take us t-" he stopped mid sentence when Peter burst out of the building and used his webs to pull himself back to the building and gain back his balance. Scorpion burst out back again as he shot another shot of the acid in his direction.
"Guys is there any plan to stop this guy?" Felicity voice came again as she took in the damage that was being done by the two as peter dodged from the stinger again.
"Spider-Man" Oliver called out to the teen hero who kicked Scorpion away from him "You need to get him down here." Peter only nodded his head as he waited for Scorpion to attack again. Scorpion lunged at Spider-Man with his tail again which he got a hold on, then he flipped over him as he nailed Gargan down by kicking him this time away from the building, with nothing to hold on to the Scorpion fell down from the building falling on a car. Barry quickly ran near him to check if he was okay as it was not that much height from which he fell but quickly found himself on the ground when the tail of the villain swatted him again.
Oliver looked on in surprise as the form of scorpion stood up again on the car as he tried to kick Barry away which was foiled by one of the trick arrows that oliver uses. Oliver then quickly came close to the villain and again engaged him in a hand to hand combat, which was a lot more difficult because of the extra appendage that was aiding the criminal. Flash quickly on his feet helped Oliver by delivering a fast paced punch to the face of Scorpion which made him stumble when the next thing that happened was the incoming kick from the Spider-Man that threw Scorpion away from the two heroes as he flew and then skidded for a few meters, but before he could stand up again, Peter used his webs to tie him down to the pavement as Oliver quickly pulled another arrow from his quiver and then pointed it at the Scorpion's head, with Flash now standing beside him ready to give another fast punch to the face. Police quickly surrounding the place where the battle occured
"Why did you did this Gargan?" Peter asks again, but scorpion on the other hand started give put a chuckle.
"He asked you a question." Oliver spoke next with the voice modulator while taking the arrow closer to the face.
"And what will you do if I don't answer him?" Gargan spoke as he looked at the emerald archer in the eye "Are you gonna shoot me? In front of all these people?"
"Don't think I won't." Oliver spoke in the same gruff tone as he became ready to leave the arrow.
"I seriously think he would." Peter said interjecting in between the two as for the first time he was worried for the Scorpion.
"Oh he won't." Gargan let out another chuckle and then spit out "You superheroes are all the same goody-two-shoes types, I won't harm a soul type of people, except if you are the Punisher, which you aren't."
"He definitely isn't" Peter said in between. Barry turned to look in his direction and mouthed 'Punisher' "Long story, tell you about it later."
"So if this ain't the Punisher, then I got nothing to be afraid of, and about why I did this, just to call you out web-head. Sorry if this meeting's about to cut short." Gargan then looked at gathering crowd "Because you guys have a lot to worry about." As he said this Oliver and Barry tensed and turned to look at their surrounding. Peter on the other hand narrowed his eyes.
"What do you mean?" He asks the villain.
"Tell me web-head." Scorpion started as he looked directly at the teen "You've fought me before, have I ever used explosion like these two kill you." As he said this Spider-Man lenses widened as he knew that none of Scorpion skill sets allow him to make bombs and explosions like that and if it wasn't Gargan then he was working with some one and there only few people who use bombs and explosion as a part of their skills and scorpion doesn't work well with others not unless they have a common goal or some benifits and if they have common goals that included him than that would mean Cisco vibe was true, and if his vibe was true and Scorpion was working with him than that would mean. "Ahh, now you understand that I've had help, and judging by your expression you already know who is the help." Suddenly Peter's spider sense went into hyperdrive as a little sphere like pumpkin dropped behind the heroes, Barry and Oliver turned to look at the direction to where Peter was looking at and saw a little pumpkin like sphere. Both turned to look at Peter as he quickly took Oliver as the the little pumpkin sphere exploded Barry quickly managed to get as many people out of the explosion as he could the explosion manged to destroy two of the police vehicles as they went flying and mange to throw several people away. Peter and Oliver quickly stood up, Peter being dazed because of his heightened senses and oliver ears ringing from the little explosion that threw cars away. In the background all they could hear was a crazy laugh and few more explosion as the three of them turned to look that the Scorpion has also escaped in the commotion.
"What just happened right now?" Ned voice was the next one that rang through the comm.
"I think the Goblin decided to finally show himself now." Peter spoke as Flash and Oliver began to evacuate the people from the area.
"Flash." Green Arrow's commanding voice cut through the area "Search the area for anymore surprises, me and Spider-Man are going to help people here." Flash nodded than ran out to search through the area for anymore bombs and explosion. Meanwhile Green Arrow and Spider-Man helped the officers and various civilians that got stuck because of the blast as the medics went to check on them and sent the gravely injured to the hospital.
"After this" Oliver voice rang through the comms as Flash came back to help get the civilians out of there. "Me and You are going to have a long chat about the people that wants to kill you and how many of them are here." He completed while looking in the direction of the Spider-Man who was looking directly at him with an injured woman that he was carrying of too the ambulance.
(Earth-38 Arrowverse)
Kara was looking at the people that were in her apartment which consisted of her cousin the superhero Super Man, her other job boss and the boss of her sister and a Martian on top of that, Jonn J'onz, and the four other probably super heroes, definitely a vigilante that were Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Danny Rand and Matt Murdock the latter four having some kind of smirk on their faces, her cousin and Jonn had something akin to confusion on his face and while there was something else that was on the face of her cousin. She just shrugged her shoulder and looked at them again.
"Seriously he is not my boyfriend." Kara firmly stated and the others, especially Clark and the Defenders looked at her like she was lying "I mean he lives on another earth and I live here, I don't think it will ever work."
"So you thought about being with him." Jessica said with a smirk.
"No!" She answered quickly...way too quickly "I mean no, I didn't."
"Okay then let me ask another question" Jess said as she moved her legs to the side "Why did you really think it wouldn't have worked out between you?"
"Well for starters, Barry" Well now Clark has a name he just need to watch out for this Barry with super powers "Lives on another earth and the other thing was we both liked someone else, I might've developed a crush on him but that's just it, just a simple a crush nothing more." her voice was firm but the look that others were giving her especially her cousin made her think that he didn't believe in her. Jessica and Rand were ready to ask more question but were beaten to it by the Daredevil.
"So this Barry guy has the power and means to send us back home?" Matt asks her getting back on the topic.
"I don't know" Kara said as Matt again looked at her with a disbelieving expression "Maybe. Probably?"
"What-" Before he could continue on there was a knock on the door that made everybody turned to look in that direction. Kara and Clark were ready to use the X-Ray vision to find out who was the one to knock on the door but Matt spoke up for them "Its your sister and mother with two more people." He looked at Kara with a confused expression hoping to clarify who was on the door, Clark still not trusting of the other guy lifted his spectacles a bit to see who was there, Kara on the other hand quickly zipped up to door and opened it up to show Eliza, Alex, Winn and Jimmy Olsen. All of them looking worried but Kara on the other hand remembered the last moment she shared with Jimmy and about whom they were talking about as of right now and only one word rang through her head as she gave her freinds and family a forced smile.
'Shit'.
