Green With Conspiracy
7/4/1948, Spanish Harlem, Manhattan
Nestor had been leaping across the buildings and as he did so, looking around, the man saw that there was something which made the man pause, seeing that there was something which made the hero see that there was something which made her start to get a bit worried before landing, his claws at the ready when he saw that there was a group of men that all had worn suits.
They looked to be ready to fight, one had brass knuckles, one a whip and another with what looked to be billiards, seeing them and how they looked to be excited to see him, Nestor readied his claws as the one with billiard balls went and tossed them towards his head, but the man had ducked and rolled before he leapt towards the brass knuckled giant, making him swing his fist towards him.
But Nestor had taken the brunt of it in annoyance, not going to fall down yet as he gave a round house, slashing his arm with his toe claws extended, making the man get hurt and making him back away, the three of them at the ready as one of them ready to fight, but as Nestor went and started to circle, the men glaring towards him as Nestor spoke up with a glare.
“Dammit! I told you that we should have said no to AO!” the man with the whip snapped, “Whose AO?” Nestor asked, “Answer and we’ll all go our own way.” he promised towards the group and hearing that, the Giant snarled, “Why not? He’s the one that was responsible for the Metal Minotaur!” he said, making Nestor confused by that, “What–?” he started to ask.
Before he could ask anything else, the Giant walked off, the other two following him when The Whip Man looked at him, “This is a one time thing, next time, The Enforcers will tear you apart.” he warned, but Nestor didn’t care about that, right now, he needed to talk to `The Squadron Supreme and so he went to do as much, going and started to call them.

Joseph had been at work, looking over the reports when he saw that there was was something which made the man look, seeing that it was one of the officers who was coming in with a phone, “It’s Nestor Ayala, he wants to talk to The Squadron Supreme.” he explained and hearing that, the Doctor Spectrum went and taken the phone, “Hello?” he asked Nestor, “Joe, it’s Nestor, I found a lead to that metal minotaur.”
That made Joseph confused by the statement, “I’m sorry?” he asked, “What is it?” he asked and hearing that, the man sighed, “According to some people called the Enforcers, the man is called AO.” He explained and hearing that, Joseph had an idea, “I think I might know who it is.” Joseph told the man and hearing that, the man was curious, “Who?” He asked as Joseph saw that Skymax was walking over.
“Me and Skymax will meet up with you, make sure that I’m right before anything gets too terrible.” he said towards Nestor, “Alright, I will see you back home.” He said to him, “Alright, we’ll see you there.” he told the man with a smile before hanging up, as he did so, the man then looked towards Skymax, “Looks like we’ve got a lead to that secret lab that was underground.” he told the Skrull.
Hearing that, Skymax huffed before looking to Drutch, “We’re going to New York, we’ll be back by the end of the day, okay?” he asked of him, making the small creature smile, nodding towards him before he looked towards his companion, “So, who is it that you think is responsible?” he asked, having overheard that part from him, making the human sigh at the question, “I’ll tell you when we get there.

Nestor was pacing and as he did so, the man saw that there was something going on when he saw that there was the two of them coming in now, Skymax disguised in the appearance of a human and as they both came in, Nestor sighed, “So, do you have any idea what exactly is going on? Whose AO?” Nestor asked of Joseph and Skymax, the former taking a breath as he spoke.
“Ambrose Osborn, he was dealing with a theft of an artifact, and there’s been some concerns about him anyways.” Joseph said and hearing that, Nestor and Skymax had been concerned by that as they had both went and looked over everything, “So are we going to be heading to Osborn Tower?” Skymax asked of the men and hearing that, Joseph nodded, “It looks like we’ll have to, but we need to be careful.
Hearing that, Nestor went and looked out of the window and as he looked towards the Osborn building, they all observed it and then they started to each think on what would be done before Nestor spoke, “First off, we need the element of surprise against Ambrose.” The White Tiger said towards them and hearing that, Doctor Spectrum smiled, “I have a plan.”

The three of them had been flying upwards thanks to Joseph and as he did so, The White Tiger went and cut through the glass as subtly as possible, making sure that the window wasn’t going to shatter as he went and gently placed it into a platform that Joseph made before he leapt through, the man looking and seeing that there was no one inside, so he went and searched through the area.
Looking through everything before seeing that there was a filing cabinet, he unlocked it, seeing that there was something that made him curious, “Project Hurdle?” he muttered to himself, looking it over and seeing that there was a strange device that had been written about, some sort of small computer that used the brains of dogs which made him a bit worried.
Looking towards the details, he saw that it was related to something which had been called Project Tomorrow before the man noticed that there was someone going to open the door, “Mister Osborn, are you there?” a secretary had asked and hearing that, Nestor had went to hide behind the desk while Skymax shifted into Ambrose Osborn and made sure to look angry at her.
“What the Hell are you doing? I’m busy!” he snapped towards the woman, making her flinch, “Of course! I’m sorry, I just wanted to let you know that your appointment with Mister Green has been moved back a half hour.” she told them, making an invisible Joseph, hidden Nestor and disguised Skymax surprised by that, “Fine then, I’ll deal with it, not leave.” he told her.
The woman left and as she did so, the three of them looked towards each other before Nestor had seen that there was an event planner, looking through it before seeing there was a warehouse, “Fine then, we have it, now let’s go” Doctor Spectrum said towards them as the three of them left and Joseph went to seal the glass back there and once he did so, the three were on the way now.

Nestor had been watching from another roof, watching it all before he looked towards the duo, “Alright, I will look through the area, scout through and find them, I’ll five you the signal via Skymax when they find each other.” he said and hearing that, the other two nodded towards that before they got into position, having done so, Nestor went on all fours as he leapt through the window open there.

Nestor had landed on a rafter, making sure to look around at everything that was there and as he did look around, the man saw that there was a man in a green suit who had a fedora on, he couldn’t see their face, but he also saw that there was none other than Ambrose Osborn who looked to be annoyed right now as Nestor stayed silent, “We need to find a new place to set up those… things.” Ambrose told him.
Hearing that, the Hero was confused, “And we will, here, Tomorrow and our other Labs are more than willing to take your work–” “I’m only saying that I need a mobile lab, not something that can be easily traced.” he said towards them and hearing that, the man that he assumed was Mister Green, thought, “It would be useful… what did you have in mind?” he asked of Ambrose.
Before he could say anything, there was a thought, seeing that there were issues here, he took a breath before making a signal, a sharp whistle that made the two of them flinch towards each other when they heard it, flinching as Skymax and Doctor Spectrum went and entered through the walls, making the two of them both press a button, making the three of them confused.
They saw that a squadron of human men with weapons and what looked to be some sort of strange group that looked to be part animal wearing knight armor look towards the three of them, making the three of them cautious by the sight when they started to open fire upon the group, seeing this, Joseph created a shield, blocking the lead bullets while Skymax went and fired a stream of fire towards them.
The strange knights started to back away from them as they formed a sort of shield wall, but as they looked, the group saw that Mister Green and Ambrose started to back away from them and looking towards the three of them as Nestor leapt forth, but there was a Tiger–Man who went to slash towards him, but White Tiger started to duck, giving a low sweeping kick, but the Tiger–Man snarled instead.
The Knights started to charge towards Skymax who started to shapeshift and become a larger more draconic being that had snarled, breathing fire towards the group who backed away while Joseph started to tie up and/or bubble the group there, with them done, he looked towards the knights, “For The Master!” a Wolf–Knight snarled as he charged towards the others.
But the man was not going to be defeated that easily as Skymax who was surrounded now, he started to shrink down and become a more scaled gorilla form which had a trio of horns on and as he went on all fours, he leapt towards the Wolf–Knight who seemed to be their leader as he raised his shield and blocked the attack with as much force as he could muster.
But he was still knocked backwards by Skymax, the three of them starting to round up the Knights as well as the humans that were there before seeing that there was something which made him pause and look, wanting to deal with the pair of them, but first Joseph needed to tell The Squadron Supreme about–” “I’m sorry, but there’s the fact that we need to keep secret.
Mister Green looked towards the group and as the trio looked at him, they realized that the man was not a man, but in fact a moment as the blonde hair had fallen out as Amora The Enchantress had smirked towards the three, her hands starting to make gestures as the woman had smiled, “I’m sorry, but we can’t have you spoiling Project Hurdle JUST yet.” she told them.
The three of them charged forward, going to attack her, but Amora had easily stopped them, feeling as there was something that was creeping into their minds, making Nestor, Joseph and Sk’ym’x start to get worried, looking towards each other before the Amora spoke, “Don’t worry… I won’t make it painful.” she told them as the three started to pass out from whatever was being done.

The three of them had awoken in unison, seeing that there was the trio in the room, looking around before the group saw that there was a problem, they all had a blank space in their minds, none of them remember who was meeting for Project Hurdle, they knew there was a man named Green, but they didn’t know anything else about it which was concerning.
“Nestor! What happened?” Maria Ayala asked and hearing that, the man couldn’t answer at all, “It was the enchantress… I do not know who she is, but she appeared to know you and your prey, a red haired man responsible for the Metal Minotaur.” The man said and hearing that, Nestor was a bit confused by that before he spoke, “Some sort of Sorceress had attacked, and she was talking to the man that was responsible for The Metal Minotaur, and he has… red hair.
That made them wonder who exactly it was, but more importantly, there was something else in mind, “Wait, how do you remember?” Skymax asked as Nestor played with his amulet, “Apparently her magic doesn’t work on The Tiger God.” he explained and hearing that, they had all been a bit shocked by that before there was another that had come to mind for Skymax.
“So then… we do not have anything… but there is something that we can work with, “How about we set up a list, and then we will be more than happy to help find out who it is that Project Hurdle is hiding behind.” The Skrull said and hearing that, the three of them started to think before the group started to move towards the kitchen where they can talk and then figure out what is going on.

Ambrose had been looking through the labs that had been set up on the rail, he had this train set up months before and as he looked through them, one of his scientists, a Adrian Toomes, young man, who was quite useful which made Ambrose smile as the excited man spoke up, “Sir! How can I help you today?” he had asked, eager and excited to please.
“So then, how many projects will we need to be stationary for?” Ambrose asked of him and hearing that, the man nodded, “Only less than six, sir.” Adrian said towards him, “We’re going to need to set up some trucks, those that can be linked into the power grid or have their own generators, sir.” Adrian said towards him and hearing that, Ambrose nodded, “Osborn automotive has a few in mind.”
That made the young man nod, excited, “I need to get back to the office…” he said before pausing, “And if the members of The Squadron Supreme come close here, then make sure that they don’t get too close.” he said and hearing that, Adrian nodded towards that as the young man got giddy as making some supervillains spoke to the young man in a way few could understand.

Zarda had been tapping her foot, looking at the information there with her friends on the team, Vanessa there as well, the detective came and left whenever she decided, one time she muttered that one of her nemesis’, Irene Adler, was quite the bore with Sherlock missing, but when she was available, the Utopian had to admit that she was useful, even if she’d never let her behind her back.
“So, what can you determine?” Zarda asked and hearing that, the detective took a deep breath, “I think that there’s a high chance that the man in charge of Project Hurdle and this Mister Green are working on a bigger project than we can imagine.” Vanessa told her which made Zarda a bit worried, “At least, it’s not something that is global, more over the country.” she told Zarda, making the Utopian glare at Vanessa.
“Fine then, so we have a group that is working over the country with multiple projects, seeming to create… monsters? Some sort of group or cabal that we need to be careful with because I’m not sure if they’re an enemy or not.” the warrior said with a glare before she saw that there was something that made them all a bit spooked by what could happen until Vanessa spoke.
“From what we can gather here, there looks to be mostly opposition, and if I’m not wrong, then there’s a large chance that the kidnapping of the Atlantean Bobo.” she told Zarda and hearing that, the Utopian was nodding as she looked over the information before she saw that Skymax, Joseph and Nestor had come in, “So, what are we going to do with all of this?”
Zarda shook her head as Burr walked in to look at them, “Unfortunately, it seems that we have almost NOTHING that can lead us to them, at least at the moment.” Vanessa said as The Menace had walked over to them as well. Standing by his compatriot, “We can ask our… associate for assistance.” The Menace said, making Vanessa think, “Either him or Monako.” She told the man.
Hearing that, the general looked towards the two, “Who?” he asked with a glare, “Wyatt Crowley, he’s an expert with the arcane, but I’d rather use Monako, he’s less likely to turn someone into some sort of mad experiment.” Vanessa said and hearing that, the others were in agreement, “So where can we find this… Monako?” Skymax asked of them, hearing that, Vaness smiled.
“He usually prefers New York City, no idea where, but it’s a start.” Nestor said to them, “I usually attract his sort, so if I find him, I’ll let you know.” he promised towards them and hearing that, Burr nodded, “Good, let us know.” he told Nestor who nodded, putting his mask back on before he went and got ready to leave, as he did so, the man saw that there was something.
It was a description of the ‘Mister Green’ and the Red Head that Burr looked over and as he seemed to observe everything that there was about it, he started to scowl in annoyance, thinking that this was going to be a problem for the future as the General wondered what ‘Mister Green’ and Ambrose were going to do with this potential breach that popped up for their future operations.

Mister Green had removed her glamour and Amora had appeared before Golmen and Thompson who both looked towards her, “Were there any issues with Ambrose or those ‘knights’ that Wyndham provided for us?” Thompson asked and hearing that, the woman shook her head, “It seems that there was members of The Squadron Supreme as well as The White Tiger there.”
That made them curious and confused before she spoke, “I wiped out their memories, so we shouldn’t be worried about that, at least until there is something that tries to bring them back.” Amora told them going and approaching Golmen with a smile that was seductive and for a moment, he almost considered it, “Is the weapon ready?” Thompson asked of Skurge who had been at work on it.
He melted down the chain that had been a part of the mace and thanks to the skills his father taught him, was able to turn the item into a warhammer, one half an ax head that seemed to glow as he presented it to Golmen, “Well, this isn’t my best work, but it should be quite useful.” the Asgardian promised towards him, making Golmen curious as he took it, the moment he did so, the body armor seemed to change.
He appeared to be electrified, the armor seeming to change to a blue that started to change and glow before the lightning vanished and he appeared to be a new being, looking to be larger, his blonde hair looking like a viking, Golmen looked down at the weapon before looking towards them with some astoundment, “What in Odin’s name happened?” he asked before Amora smiled wider.
“Who the Hell is Odin?” Thompson asked while the two Asgardians saw that they had accidentally created a Thor, “He is our king, and it appears that you’re going to be quite the asset.” Amora told Golmen, “What are we going to call this?” Thompson asked, seeing the advantages to having someone strong enough to deal with their Squadron Savage before an idea came to mind.
“Thunderer.” Golmen said, “Zarda from that other universe called me that, why not use it?” he asked and hearing that, the others didn’t think it would be a bad idea as they started to think on what they were going to do about all of this as Amora started to get close and as she had done so, the Enchantress started to think on what she was going to do to bring her own advantage to her station.
