A Stark and a Hammer should never have been friends. It just wasn't right. In fact... it was just plain wrong. Like, water and fire. Cats and dogs. Apple sauce on pickles. Pineapple on pizza. They just weren't compatible with one another. So when an eight year-old Diana Rogers-Stark befriended a nine year-old Harrison Hammer, you could see the problem.

At first the pair didn't even know about their family rivalry. They were just kids after all.

The blonde met the brunette at a baseball practice for their little league team. When Diana first came to the Stark residence she struggled immensely with her strength. So in order to fix that Tony put the girl into a baseball league.

Of course the company running the event had told the trillionaire that girls were unable to play baseball and recommended softball instead. Though, as Diana's doctors had recommended, she needed to be pushed in order to learn strength control.

So Tony Stark bought the company and made it a gendernuteral league.

Of course if the great Iron Man was doing something, it didn't take long for others to quickly do the same. Before the world could blink every high ranking company was sponsoring sports teams and putting their own legacies in sports of their own. With the Hammer's being no exception.

To this day no one knows if Justin Hammer had put his son in Diana's league "The Songbirds" on purpose or not. But that's where the most unethical friendship began.

After only one practice the two became attached at the hip. Begging to hangout after practice to work on their techniques and to show off their toys to the other. They were only eight and nine after all.

Though as many childhood friendships fizzled, they were no exception. But that could easily be blamed on Harry's father, who wanted to be Tony Stark so bad it destroyed not only his life, but his company and relationship with his son.

It wasn't that they fought. They each knew it wasn't the other person's fault, but when Harry had left Malibu and was taken to New York to live with his aunt Mandy Hammer-Zimmer, they lost touch. Never reconnecting.

Which is exactly why Diana had pocketed her way to his residence.

The birthday girl's legs immediately gave out the moment she exited her tiny Pocket. Wobbling before falling to her knees.

A place that was close but at the same time unexpected. As who in their right mind would think that the Lady Liberty would ever voluntarily go to the home of Colette Zimmer?

Diana's fingernails dug into the hardwood as she tried to keep herself from passing out. Dry heaving out of shock and fear as she forced herself up. Not even focusing on the beautiful penthouse that was the Zimmer home as she scanned for any source of nourishment. Finding a kitchen not too far from her spot.

With no energy left to spare, Diana Rogers-Stark crawled towards the fridge and opened the door, finding a fully preserved chocolate cake inside. Within seconds her filthy hands had a chunk of chocolate within her grasp. Though it quickly vanished into her mouth seconds later. Humming as she took more and more of the creamy filled delight.

With the sugar hit hitting her stomach, Diana began to regain her missing energy. Allowing the lone avenger the strength to pull herself up so she could continue eating.

Once the entire cake was polished off, the girl glanced down at her watch. Reading her energy levels, seeing them only around forty percent. In order to get back to one hundred without sleeping she'd need more substance.

So she continued to dig inside the fridge of her ex-friend and rival, finding a two litre bottle of orange juice. Popping the cap off Diana started to chug it. Making it just halfway before hearing the sound of a gun cocking.

Stopping midsip Diana glanced behind the fridge door, seeing Colette Zimmer pointing a gun at her face as Harry Hammer stayed behind his cousin in fear.

Diana looked at the two well rested individuals. Taking notice of how dishevelled the pair looked. Both had messy hair and poorly put on clothing. As if Colette had just enough time to put on half of her robe before grabbing a gun, while Harry seemed to have just left his own room. No shirt and pants on backwards.

The girl did her best not to stare at Harry's toned physique as she went back to her drink, "Sup."

The pair stared at her in total confusion as Colette lowered her gun, "What are you doing here?!" Her eyes widened underneath her messy bed head.

She promptly ignored the pair and wiped her face. Putting the empty jug back in the fridge, "Your room's that way, right?" Diana pointed in the distance.

Colette glanced at her cousin before back to their intruder, "Yeah, but-"

"Great. I'm gonna borrow something," Diana pushed them aside and entered Colette's pink paradise.

Harry and Colette quickly followed after the teen and tried to get her to answer their questions as Diana just continued to look for something clean to wear.

And she probably would've completely ignored the two, if it wasn't for the sentence Harry spewed out. Making the powered girl freeze, "Diana, what is going on? We thought you were kidnapped again!"

Her eyes slowly shifted over to him. Teeth hitting each other as she tried to keep calm, "Really? Is that all you see me as since I didn't show up to my own birthday party?"

Harry looked down at his cousin who carried a similar confused expression, "What are you talking about?"

"You didn't have a party last night," Colette added.

Now that made Diana scoff out a laugh, "Look, I get that I broke into your house but that's not funny. I know you were invited."

"The fuck are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"Your dad cancelled your party last night," Colette matched Diana's energy, crossing her arms. "Said you had some family emergency. We just assumed you got taken again considering the Bolo that was just put out on you before we went to bed."

Diana was now the one confused, "Bolo?"

Colette walked towards her bedside table and too her phone off the charger. Handing it to Diana as it showed something that made the girl lose her breath, as if she were around Nyquil again, "Diana Rogers-Stark, M.I.A... last seen Wednesday May fourth... armed and dangerous... wanted alive," she read parts out loud before staring at the open windows.

Throwing Colette back her phone, the runaway ran to the window and closed the curtains before exiting the room and made sure the other windows were also covered.

The only reason Diana even stopped moving between deep breaths was due to the story being shown on the large flatscreen in the main living room of the open concept apartment. Her lips fully separated as she grabbed the remote and quickly began to flip through the channels, but all of the read the exact same thing.

'BREAKING NEWS! City Wide Lockdown!'

Going so far to close the bridges and all possible exits off of the island. There was now no way out of New York City. What was going on?

Diana started to feel weird again. Her palms were all sweaty as she tried to keep herself calm. Telling herself that things were going to be just fine. But were they? As of right now she was almost in tears at the thought of the unknown.

"Diana?" She whipped her head behind her to see Colette and Harry both staring at her, "Okay you need to tell me what's going on here."

With a shaken sigh Diana returned her focus back on the screen, "The Avengers have been compromised."

"What?!" She could see their dropped jaws in the screen's reflection.

The stressed girl's hands ran over her face as the words that came out of her mouth made Diana feel sick, "What do you mean they're gone?!" Harry screamed.

With a huff Diana fully faced the legacies of Hammer Industries and OSCORP, "They're just gone, okay?! I left for a few hours last night to blow off some steam and when I returned this morning they were just... POOF gone!" She screamed back, "The house was a mess, bullets everywhere and..." Diana couldn't even finish the sentence but with Colette's intimidating gaze she slowly continued. "And an old friend greeted me..."

"An old friend?" She took a step closer, "A good friend?"

Diana shook my head, "No. Not a good one."

Harry cringed, "Okay and what did this bad friend say exactly?"

It took a moment for her to get the words out, "That he... that he has my family and to make things easier on everyone and go with him and his men easy."

"And you believed him?" Colette then for some reason laughed after a beat of silence.

"Excuse me?" Diana's brows lowered.

Colette's laughter quickly stopped, "Wait. No, you can't be serious. You actually believed him?" She turned between the Hammer boy and the Rogers girl, "Guys!"

"What?!" She put her hands up defensively.

"He was obviously lying to you!"

"What makes you think that?" Harry asked as Diana gave the other girl a strange look, "Oh I'm sorry for thinking he's not considering the mess he made, the hundred lackeys all inside my family home or the fact it's on the news that I'm missing!" Diana shouted, while pointing at the television.

"Diana, your family is on the run from the government bi-yearly at this point. You really think that they couldn't take on that many people?" she put her hands together and pointed at the avenger. "They were probably told the same thing that they had told you. They're most likely on the run trying to find you right now."

"Then why would they put New York under lockdown and tell the world I'm missing?" Diana's hands found her hips.

She glanced at the television, "It's obviously a double edged sword trap," she scoffed.

Harry tilted his head, "A what?"

"A trap for both of the avengers and Diana, god! For a hero you really don't understand traps, do you?" She crossed her arms. Though with both Diana and Harry's confused blinks, she groaned, "Oh my god! Don't you get it? This is a perfect way to get both of you at once. Lock down the city and make you feel trapped, while they think you escaped. Allowing them the chance to nab both of you."

"I don't think my family would fall for that," she huffed. "They know when to wait for their moment, but I don't think they escaped-"

"Earth's Mightiest taken out by a group of normal soldiers?"

The young avengers lips ran over one another, "Okay so it may sound a little far fetched-"

"Ya think?"

"But what else was I supposed to think, Colette? A Hydra army is in my home!" She expressed my anger.

She put her hands out, "Okay, calm down. We don't know what is fully happening."

Diana couldn't help but laugh at that sentence, "Oh I'm sorry let me just completely relax with the fact that my family is missing and I'm a wanted woman!" She felt ber huffing quicker and quicker as she struggled to catch my breath.

"Oh god," Harry came over and grabbed the girl's arms, giving them a gentle but firm squeeze. "Breathe. Just breathe."

"How... how can I breathe? They... they are... missing...?!" Diana basically cried between breaths.

Colette waited a moment before grabbing Diana's frosting filled hand, "Okay Diana stop it. You need to calm down in order to focus right now. Okay? Breathe. Just breathe."

She nodded and tried to steady her breathing as Harry helped her to the couch, "Okay what do we know?" Harry asked, "Your family is missing and people are in your house. When was the last time you saw them?"

"Um... uh last night. I think around five? It was right after fighting with my dad about my hair."

Colette nodded and sat on the coffee table, "Okay and do you have any way to contact anyone? Anyone who wasn't at the tower?"

Diana shook my head, "No, all of my family was there already and the only people that weren't can get involved."

Of course part of the teen wanted to call up Laura, Clint's wife as Clint had started to be a little more open with the avengers and his family, but Diana couldn't get her or her kids involved. If her family somehow was captured, it would only put the Barton's in danger as well.

Fury was another option but Diana had no way to contact him. Hell, she didn't even know his number.

"Right, and is there any way of seeing inside the tower?" Harry pondered.

"What do you mean?" Colette asked.

Harry shrugged, "I don't know. In SVU they usually always check security cameras first, and since you live in a billion dollar tower, you'd think they have some form of security."

Diana sighed, "No they do. I've tried to escape multiple times."

"That's great-"

"But accessing the security is going to be harder said than done," Diana explained.

"How so? Isn't it just logging into the system?"

She shook her head, "In order to access the security system you need to be on a Stark Issued device. Not to mention the moment you log in you get tracked."

She scrunched her face up, "Well that seems like a flawed system."

Diana shook her head, "No. Tony knew what he was doing. After he went missing in 2012 he created the tracker in case one of us ever went missing. So no matter what computer I hit the moment I login they will know where I am."

Colette smacked her lips together, "Okay... so," she began to ponder. "Is there another account you know or someone who isn't under the tracker we can go to?"

"Yeah! Like a lawyer or some meaningless employee?" Harry smiled to try and lighten the mood.

She shook her head, "Everyone is under the tracker. It's also how we are able to discover if anyone leaks anything to the press with the fire a couple people last year because of it. The only person who's not under the tracker is-" Diana paused as she came to the sudden conclusion. "...holy shit."

"What?"

Diana quickly stood up and began to pace around the room, looking for things to take, "I need to get off the island."

"What?"

"There is only one person in the entire world with a Stark laptop, full access and isn't on the tracker but he isn't on the island," Diana explained as she continued to pace around.

"Okay and where is that?" Harry asked.

Letting out a huff, Diana looked the pair in the eyes, "Rose Hill, Tennessee."

The three were silent for a moment. Diana had never met the kid she was thinking about, but from what her cousin had told her, he was some sort of future genius. He helped repair Tony's suit while he was on the run from some terrorist and to thank him Tony gave the kid a whole bunch of tech and toys.

One of those items being a stark issued laptop with unrestricted and untraceable access.

The only reason Diana even knew the kid existed was because she came across a recommendation letter in which Tony had on file, saying when the kid was old enough for college he'd repay the boy fully by getting him into MIT on a full ride scholarship.

Now getting to him would be the only problem.

Colette and Harry glanced at each other and talked without saying a word. Her raising both her brows before he nodded.

"We can get you off the island," Colette smirked.

"Huh? How?" Diana tilted her head.

Colette slowly lifted herself off of the coffee table and grabbed her purse, "We have some family across town. They're... how you say... good at getting from place to place."

Harry chuckled slightly, "They have a magical time doing so."

"We can have them help you get to Tennessee."

Diana felt like there was a 'But' coming, "But...?"

The two froze momentarily before letting out a simple sigh, "There is no But, Diana."

"Then why help me?"

Diana's rival simply shrugged, "You'd do the same for me. You have technically," she slung her purse over her shoulder, throwing Harry a shirt as well.

"You have saved the world more times than the average teen so it's kinda expected," Harry explained as he put his shirt on.

Colette then placed her hand out for Diana to take, "Okay?"

Diana took a moment to think it over. Looking down at her rival's hand. The girl who she thought hated her, and the boy who she hadn't properly spoken to in years, were both trying to help her.

And as she had no clue where or what really happened to her family, Diana swallowed her pride and shook Colette's hand, "Okay."

And with that the three had begun to prepare. Dragging Diana into Colette's room, scrounging for proper supplies in order to actually pull the task off.

"In order for this to work you need to follow everything I say. No wandering off, no drawing attention to yourself and no use of powers," she was instructed.

"Don't worry this isn't my first time on the run," Diana admitted as Harry helped her fix the black wig from when Colette played Wednesday in the Adams Family.

"That's not a common thing to be proud of," she huffed, putting on her large sunglasses.

After an eventful twenty minutes of planning and searching for a proper disguise Diana, Harry and Colette made their way onto the infested streets absolutely locked with officers and civilians alike.

Diana stayed close to her rival and ex-friend. Sporting a plum jacket covering a white collared shirt tucked into a long caramel coloured skirt that reached all the way down to Diana's converse.

Colette stood next to her in an oversized blue sweater and very short floral skirt that left not too much room for the imagination. All paired together with her thick white DocMartins.

While Harry, being a man, was able to get away with a backwards cap, black shirt, faded jeans and leather jacket. Though he was the most pissed off from how sad his outfit was, having to use his Uncle Glenn's clothes to seem less inconspicuous as his wardrobe was too... much.

The three fixed their matching black sunglasses and took in a breath before venturing outside. Diana being overwhelmed immediately. Traffic from outside her apartment was bumper to bumper as officers walked down the streets, checking every possible location.

People obviously flooded the streets still, as it was New York, either trying to get home or to simply try and record the insanity of the city lockdown.

"Come on," Colette grabbed her hand and led the two down the streets.

As the Rogers girl tried to avoid any eye contact with the officers, Colette happily greeted them as we walked. Smiling bright and receiving grins and a variety of hellos back.

Diana was about to scold the girl for drawing attention to the small group but it seemed as if it would be in vain as a very muscular armed officer walked right in front of us.

The avenger's eyes bulged out from behind her glasses as she slightly moved her hand behind her back. Preparing a pocket, only for the Colette to give Diana's hand a warning squeeze, "Morning officer. Can we help you?"

He looked the three of them over before placing a hand on his belt, shit, "You kids alright?"

Diana felt herself tense as Colette and Harry continued to smile as if they weren't the people this man was searching for. Watching as Harry took the lead, taking of his glasses and charming the officer, "Oh yes we're fine. We're just trying to get to my aunt's apartment for lockdown. We wanted to grab coffee but... well you get it."

He nodded before turning his attention to the avenger. Who had to physically force herself to stay still as his green eyes scanned the shaking girl up and down, "You feeling okay, kid?"

She hesitantly nodded as Colette cleared her throat, "I'm so sorry Sir, you'll have to excuse my friend here," she squeezed Diana's hand in warning. "She's just a little bit nervous with the lockdown. I-I hope you find her soon. Lady Liberty I mean," she batted her eyelashes.

Diana slightly glanced up more seeing the officer place a gentle pat on the girl's shoulder, "We'll find her. Don't you worry," he smiled. "Now get where you're going and try to stay safe."

Colette chuckled as she pulled them forward, "I think with all of you around we're the safest city in the world," the two shared a goodbye wave before the trio of rich kids were walking once more.

The richest of the trio's jaw was on the road as they somehow made it out of that situation without having to even lift a finger, "What the... how-"

Her smile dropped quickly as she shot Diana a glare, "You are so lucky I was able to get us out of that. What were you thinking? Do you actually want to be caught?"

"Hey!" She whisper shouted back, "I'm the one trying to not draw attention to ourselves. What was that? Why on god's green earth were you waving and greeting every possible armed person we come across."

Colette looked off into the distance as she whispered, "Oh my fucking god," she glanced back at the girl. "For someone trained by assassins and war heroes you cannot act normal can you?"

"You know who I was raised by and expect me to act normal? I don't know what normal is," Diana sneered. "I'm trying not to draw attention to ourselves. Just like you instructed me."

"Then you're doing it wrong," Harry stepped between the two heated rivals. "The people after you know you well. They trained you. You can't do the same tactics you've learned from them. They'll expect that."

Colette looked forward, "You need to act oblivious. Look straight ahead and smile. The people are experiencing Lady Liberty to be in hiding, alone. They won't look twice at the two of us. Got it?"

Diana huffed, "Yes. I got it."

"Good! Our aunt's place is only a few blocks from here. We can cut down that alleyway and get there in ten minutes or so," she pointed ahead.

As they continue on walking Diana couldn't help but wonder, "So who exactly is your aunt? Is she on your dad's side? How's she gonna get me out of here?" She was implying the mob, but wasn't going to just say it outloud.

She huffed, "Well... it's a little complicated. You'll understand when we get there," her answer was rather vague but Diana knew getting more out of her would be hard.

Making it to the ally, Diana couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Colette said they were almost there meaning the avenger was only a step closer to finding out what happened. As well as a chance to rest. If her rival and ex-friend could get her off the island she could at least recharge more on the boat or bus they planned to smuggle the teen across.

Though Diana's relief quickly vanished as a strange gust of wind occurred. Then followed by a thud.

Diana, Harry and Colette quickly jolted five steps back as a masked figure landed in front of them, holding something.

"I knew it! Oh geez, thank god I was right," the figure slapped his forehead. "It would've been so awkward if I was wrong."

The masked figure practically jumped as he held the black object in the air. Even though Diana could clearly hear him, she had to squint to get a better view. The figure seemed to be a little taller than me wearing a matching baby blue shirt and sweatpants with a red sweater with the sleeves cut off with some janky spider sharpied over the zipper. He also had some strange accessories including blocky goggles over his red mask and cuffs around his wrists.

Then once she scanned the situation, her eyes locked onto what he was holding. Diana's hand reached up to her head and felt her recently choppy hair instead of the wig. No. The silk wig was in the masked man's hand.

"Hydra?" Harry suddenly stepped back in fear.

Colette pushed her elder cousin and Diana behind her as she glared at the figure, "I hope not."

"It's not," Diana calmed the situation. "He's too happy."

"I think calling him a man is giving him too much credit. Harry has a deeper voice... " she deadpanned.

"Okay now that's just mean," Harry frowned, actually hurt by the statement.

With an eye roll, Diana finally adressed the mashed man, calling out to him, "Who the hell are you?"

The teen snapped his head up, "Op! Sorry!" He rubbed the back of his neck, "This is kinda my first real time out here. I'm not really used to the whole confrontation thing."

Colette gave the other two an equally confused expression as they all glanced at each other before going back to him, "How did he even find us?" She asked.

"Oh that was actually pretty easy," the boy raised a finger. "I knew Lady Liberty would be going to someone she knew. So I checked her Instagram and saw she was following only a few people and through the process of elimination I just found someone closer to her age and wasn't an avenger and the only person was you Colette! So I just located you and found Miss. Rogers immediately!" He explained with pride.

Seeing as he was rather excited could only mean one thing... he was a fanboy.

Diana confused expression turned to a more serious one in order to try and intimidate him, "That doesn't answer our question, dude. Who are you?"

"Um..." he cleared his throat before placing his hands on his hips. Puffing his chest out, "They call me The Human Spider."

The trio stood there for a moment as the name went in one ear and out the other. Harry was the first to choke out a small chuckle before the three rich kids were all giggling.

"Hey! Don't laugh! It's cool!" He stomped his foot like a toddler.

"Cool like a grandma's sweater!" Harry cackled.

The two girls had to suppress a few more giggles as The Human Spider grumbled, "Okay now you guys are just being mean."

They offhandedly apologised before Diana put her hands up in surrender, "Okay sorry for laughing, dude. The Human Spider is an... okay name," she lied. "But from one hero to another you gotta do me a solid. Just hand me back my wig and we can forget we saw each other."

Though when her hand was out, the boy only sighed, "I'm sorry Lady Liberty but I can't do that."

The avenger's head tilted a good 20°, "Excuse me?"

"Look..." he cringed, "I get that you are on the run from your family and all and but I gotta help you get back to them."

Diana paused, "That's what I'm trying to do."

He put his hands out, "Lady Liberty, please. The city is in panic right now and helping you get back to the Avengers is the only way to end this."

The mismatched eyes of Diana Rogers-Stark began to widen as she felt herself slowly grow angrier by the millisecond. Her family could be dead for all she knew and here she was arguing with a fifteen-year-old wannabe Avenger who probably didn't even have any powers to begin with.

Diana threw her glasses off to Command him, "GIVE ME THE GODDAMN WIG!" She commend with so much authority he jumped back.

"Whoa! Did you just... did you just try to use your powers on me?" He threw his hand to his chest, "Oh dang, I was not expecting that! None of the fanfics prepared me for that! I mean sure a lot of them include you not trusting anyone but you still never used your Command in them!"

"You read Lady Liberty Fanfiction?" Colette said blandly.

Diana glanced at her, "What the hell is a Fanfiction?"

"We can talk about it later," Harry rolled his eyes and looked back at the boy. "Just give us the wig and we will be on our way, Spider-boy."

"It's Spider-Man- wait no! It's the Human Spider. I am the Human Spider," he scoffed.

"We don't care," Diana told him. "My family is in trouble and I need to get somewhere to save them. So give me the wig and let us leave. Now."

He looked down at the wig and slightly shrugged, "Lady Liberty you seem like a nice girl. I mean you saved the world and all, but... the entire island is under lockdown until you are returned to your family. And if I were the one to bring you back it could be my big break!" He exclaimed.

"So!" The boy puffed out his chest once more, "I'm giving you a chance to save yourselves. Come with me peacefully and no one needs to get hurt."

The three blankly stared at the spider-boy as he thought that little threat would work. All three had dealt with much worse and much scarier threats online compared to what he just spoke. They were legacies after all.

Huffing Diana took a step forward and prepared to just grab the wig herself, "Okay enough playtime. I'll be taking that back now."

The boy looked rather upset at Lady Liberty's response as he threw his head back and loudly sighed, "I tried to warn you..."

Within seconds Diana watched him press his fingers against the chunky metal on his wrist, making something to spew out and shoot past her. Gasping when the white string latch onto Colette and sent her straight into Harry, sending both to the brick wall, glueing them against each other in place.

"Guys!" Diana barely had time to react before the same string latched onto her hand and yanked her forward.

The boy slide his arm around Diana's waist as he warned her, "Hold on."

"Wha-AHH!" She shouted as they suddenly took flight.

His cuffs filled with string started to take Diana far away from the ally as she continued to scream and squirm in his grasp. The boy's grip was firm and strangely strong, so strong in fact Diana was actually struggling to move. She may not know many teenage boys, but she had a feeling they couldn't be stronger than her without some sort of enhancement.

"Let me go, you freaking spider-idiot!" Diana threw her hand into his face, trying to push them apart.

He grunted and she could feel his grip slightly loosen as she continued to squirm, "Stop moving! You'll get us both hurt-" with another push Diana was able to separate us, causing her to start falling, "OH GOD!"

Diana continued to scream as she prepared a Pocket, waiting till she was a few feet away from the pavement to successfully go through it. But what was strange was instead of a proper landing like usual my back was thrown against a dumpster.

The girl groaned, feeling the metal against her probably wicked bruised skin, as some voices called out to her, "Diana?! Are you okay?"

Glancing up, she saw that she was somehow back in the original ally with Colette and Harry. Which was strange as that wasn't anywhere near where she the Spider-thing had taken her. So that could only mean she must've been closer to her original location than she thought... right?

Ignoring the throbbing pain Diana jumped up and ran to the cousins, still struggling to get out of the restraints, "Hold up! I'm coming!"

As she helped pull the stuff off of them, she couldn't help but compare it to a spiderweb. It was white and sticky, but very flexible and dense. It looked a little artificial, but if they were to see this stuck to a wall somewhere, Diana would've assumed it was from a real spider. That's why Diana guessed that's why that boy called himself the Human Spider.

"So how far away is your aunt's?" She asked, helping them off of the wall.

"Just down that street," Colette pointed.

"Who the hell was that?" Harry gasped as he tore the webs off of his clothes.

"I don't know but he could be back any second," Diana expressed. "I'm used to people trying to audition for the Avengers but someone trying to kidnap me for an audience is a new one."

Harry grumbled, taking off more webs, "Is it like a normal occurrence for people to audition?"

Diana shrugged, "You'd be surprised..." she trailed off as she watched the two's faces shift from ones of confusion into a state of panic.

She didn't want to look. But did. Slowly turning to see the Human Spider crawling down the wall, "You know that was rather drastic, Lady Liberty! You could've gotten hurt-" his scolding was drowned out by the trio screaming for dear life at the strange sight before them.

What flipping powers did that kid have?!

Within seconds, Diana grabbed Colette and Harry's hands, trying to pull them out of the ally. Just making it near the end as the boy called out to the three, "That's not that smart of an idea guys!"

They should've listened to his warning considering once they actually reached the end, they were met with a full squad of officers all pointing a variety of weapons at them.

'Miss Rogers-Stark, Mr. Hammer and Miss Zimmer! Stand down and come with us peacefully!' One of the captain's demanded over a speaker.

The three took a step back as the others took one forward, "You know Colette, you may judge me for reading reader inserts and OC fics, but they taught me something... when in trouble always call for backup," The Human Spider jumped down, blocking them from behind.

Scanning her surroundings, Diana knew this would be hard. A squad of police officers in front, a crazy powerful boy behind and two thick brick walls between.

They were boxed in.

She was boxed in.

She was trapped.

Clutching Colette's hand Diana started to force them both backwards as she never took her eyes off of the guns, "Have you ever made a portal big enough for three?" Harry whimpered. "I can't go back to jail."

Diana clutched Colette's hand a little tighter, "We're gonna find out... but if it doesn't work I'll say I forced you to help."

"You bet your ass you are. I'm too pretty for prison," Colette snarked.

Diana let go of Colette and took a deep breath. Preparing to activate a blue Pocket, only for an orange spark to appear instead. Her head tilted at the new score of light she definitely didn't create before a hand came out from the orange and grabbed the three of them, pulling them in before vanishing.
