Fallout II
A few hours after the airport battle, Tony had taken Rhodey to a hospital. Even though Rhodey insisted that he wasn't hurt so bad, Tony insisted that he get checked on just in case.
According to the doctors, apart from the cuts and bruises that Rhodey received, he's okay.
Tony and Natasha were standing on a balcony as Tony told her that Rhodey's fine.
Natasha: Steve's not gonna stop. If you don't, what almost happened to Rhodey would be the best case scenario.
Tony: You get them go, Nat. You and Gwen.
Natasha: We played this wrong.
Tony: "We?" (scoffs) It must be hard off the double agent thing, huh? Sticks with the DNA. Passes on to the closest impressionable youth.
Natasha: Are you incapable of letting go of your ego for one goddamn second?
Tony: ...T'Challa told Ross what you did, so...They're coming for you.
Natasha: I'm not the one who needs to watch their back.
She walks away from Tony as he just looks out.
???: Stark.
He turned to see Gwen walking towards him.
Tony: Gwen, I-
Gwen: Save it.
Tony was taken aback by Gwen interrupting him.
Gwen: You know what you are? A hypocritical, back-stabbing, manipulative man-child. And thanks to you, the only thing capable enough to protect the Earth is gone. You did nothing but destroy everything that's good in this world, and that's all you'll ever do.
Tony: Look-
Gwen: Shut the fuck up, Stark! I'm not done! (takes a deep breath) Now, here's what's gonna happen: I'm gonna head back to LA and protect it with everything I have and more, since The Flash can't do it anymore. But I swear to every single higher power that has ever existed, if I ever hear so much as a rumor that you have set a single foot in Californian soil, I will make the shit you went through in Afghanistan 8 years ago look like a fucking pillow fight, you understand?!
Tony: (sighs, then nods) Yeah.
Gwen: Good. Feel free to do whatever you want with my identity, but just know, every drop of blood that anyone in the world drops from here on out will be on your hands, and your hands only.
Gwen walks away from Tony, who simply looks outside as he thought about what to do.
He has already screwed up with Aaron, and now The Flash is gone.
He couldn't let the same happen to the Ghost Spider.
So he decided to safeguard Gwen's identity.
Just then, his watch pinged. He tapped it twice and saw a picture of a man dead in a bathtub.
Tony: What am I looking at, FRIDAY?
FRIDAY: Priority upload from Berlin police.
Tony looked at the picture as he slowly realized something.
Tony: Fire up the chopper
A week later
Pรคrnu, Estonia
Aaron and Bobbi were staying at a run-down hotel.
Aaron began wearing his inhibitor watch and never took it off. He even wears it in the shower, which was okay since the watch was waterproof.
The note contained three things: the address of the hotel Aaron and Bobbi were staying in, contact information of a man called Rick Mason, and a letter from Gwen.
Aaron and Bobbi,
What his letter contains is something I couldn't say just because I didn't have enough time to say it.
I wrote this the night before we meet.
The reason why I fought with Tony is because he didn't give me a choice.
He found out that I was the Ghost Spider and threatened to reveal that information to the world unless I helped him bring you, Cap, Sam, and Barnes in.
I should've been better, and if either of you or, God forbid, both of you end up in prison, I really don't want either of you to hate me for it, although I'll understand if you did.
I'm sorry.
-Gwen
There was more written, but it looked like it was scribbled in quickly.
P.S.: This was originally meant for if one or both of you ended up in prison, but there was a change of plan.
Nat had your inhibitor watch and gave it to me. I don't know how she even got it, but that's a question for another time.
I webbed this note to the watch so that I can give both to you.
Stay safe, you two. And don't worry, I'll keep LA safe when you're gone.
Aaron and Bobbi were even more pissed when they read the note. Could Tony Stark sink any lower if he's resorted to blackmail?
Aaron and Bobbi were chilling in the room watching football (soccer, for you Americans) when it was interrupted by a news broadcast.
Their eyes widened then they saw Ross giving out a statement to the press.
To sum it up, there was breakout at a supermax prison called The Raft, and now Steve Rogers, James Barnes, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanoff, Wanda Maximoff, Barbara Morse, and The Falsh are now branded as fugitives.
But there was more for Ross to say, and it changed Aaron's life forever.
Ross: (on the TV) Fortunately, we have now uncovered the true name of the man to goes by the moniker The Flash... his name...is Aaron Samuel O'Connor.
Aaron & Bobbi: (shocked) WHAT THE FU-
Two days later
Malibu, California
Mia was still shocked that her son was branded a fugitive and that Ross had exposed him as The Flash.
She was sitting in the living room when she heard the front door open. Mia got up and saw three women wearing some kind of tactical gear approaching her.
Mia then heard the back door open as two more women wearing similar gear approached her.
Mia: The hell is this?
No one responded.
Mia: Get out, or I'm calling the police!
One of the women stepped closer to Mia
Woman 1: ะัะตะนะบะพะฒ ะฟะตัะตะดะฐะตั ะฟัะธะฒะตั. [Dreykov sends his regards.]
The five women began beating Mia up simultaneously and with no intention of stopping.
The five kept beating Mia up as the Ghost Spider broke through a window and took out one of the women.
Gwen barely managed to take out two more before the other two escaped.
Gwen immediately checked on Mia. She was alive, but only just.
Gwen: (into her comms) JIMMY! MIA'S HURT BAD! GET AN AMBULANCE HERE NOW!!!
Jimmy: (on comms) SHIT!! I'M ON IT!!!
Gwen went up to one of the three women and grabbed the collar of her suit.
Gwen: WHO ARE YOU?! WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?!
She got no response as the three women suddenly began raising her right hands, and that's when Gwen noticed them.
They were all wearing Widow's Bites like Natasha does.
Widow 1: (tearfully) Please...
Gwen was surprised and confused by what was happening. Were they being controlled?
Widow 2: (tearfully) He's making us do it...
Well, that answers that. But the question is...
Gwen: By who? Who's making you?
Neither of them answered as Gwen's Spider Sense blared like a siren. She widened her eyes when she realized what the Widows were doing.
They were aiming their Widow's Bites towards their own heads.
Gwen: NO!
But they shot themselves before Gwen could do anything.
Meanwhile
The two Widows who escaped kept running until they stopped.
One of them removed her mask to reveal a blond woman.
Blonde: (into her comms) ะะผะตัะฐะปัั ะัะธะทัะฐัะฝัะน ะะฐัะบ. ะั ะฝะต ัะผะพะณะปะธ ะทะฐะฒะตััะธัั ะผะธััะธั. ะั ะฟะพัะตััะปะธ ััะตั ะฒะดะพะฒ. [The Ghost Spider intervened. We could not complete the mission. We lost three Widows.]
???: (on comms) ะะฐะบะพะฒะพ ัะพััะพัะฝะธะต ัะตะปะธ? [What's the condition of the target?]
Blonde: (into her comms) ะัะพััะพ ะตะปะต ะถะธะฒะพะน [Just barely alive]
???: (on comms) (sighs) ะะตัะฝะธัะตัั ะฒ ะัะฐัะฝัั ะบะพะผะฝะฐัั. ะ ะตะทัะปััะฐั ะฟะพ-ะฟัะตะถะฝะตะผั ัะดะพะฒะปะตัะฒะพัะธัะตะปัะฝัะน. [Return to the Red Room. The outcome is still satisfactory.]
Blonde: (into her comms) ะะฐ ััั. [Yes, sir.]
