(Recap: MJ, Ned and Flash are carrying out Peters plan to stop the Goblin while he does his own part...)

Michelle threw the double glass doors open with enough force to slam them onto the walls. Good thing they were bullet proof. The loud slap caught the attention of the entire lobby, which was still full of activity even in the middle of the night. It was Stark Industries, so of course it was still busy.

The receptionist opened her mouth in confusion. "Um, we don't have any candy–"

MJ stepped ahead of Ned and Flash, who shared a raised eyebrow, and slammed her shortened staff on the granite desk. "Evacuate the building. Now. And we need to get to Bruce Banner's main lab."

The receptionist expression hardened and heads turned at MJ's words. It was quiet as the two women had a staring contest.

Finally, the professionally dressed woman snapped, "If this is some dumb joke or dare just get out or I'll call security."

"Fine," the teen's eyes were unwavering. "I dare you."

The woman hesitated at her tone, hand halfway to her com set in her ear. She wasn't going to give MJ what she wanted. Michelle knew that Happy would recognize her and Ned easily. The receptionist lowered her hand and pointed out the door.

"Just leave."

MJ's lips tightened in barely noticeable irritation.

"FRIDAY," she shouted. "Evacuate the building. Override code 0810-Spider."

Lights turned red and Alarms started to wail. The woman stared at MJ with wide eyes along with Flash, Ned and pretty much everyone else in the lobby. A familiar voice was soon echoing throughout the room when people started to file out begrudgingly.

"WHERES THE KID?" The Head of security yelled in anger and stormed between people. He spotted the group and his face went beet red. "You three! I told you only to use that code in emergencies!"

Happy Hogan shoved a large finger in Flash's direction. The bully blinked in surprise under his mask's lenses. "Me? She was the one who said it!"

"You told her to code?" He boomed harshly. "That's it, I'm blaming you. Tony is going to know about this, kid, then it's gonna make us both look bad. You can't just–"

"We need to get to Dr. Banner's private lab," MJ interrupted.

Happy sputtered. "First you stage an Alpha Code evacuation and now you want to vandalize my boss's work partner's lab? No. Nope, not going to happen. I don't have access anyways...wait...why are you asking me? You has access to everything."

Happy looked straight at Flash with a suspicious glare. The bully shrugged and reached up hesitantly to take off his mask. Happy looked astonished. "Heh...hi."

"Oh my god," Happy groaned and put his head in his hands. "What has the kid gotten himself into this time?"

"He's fighting a loosing battle with the Goblin right now," Ned confessed worriedly, weighing his lightsaber grip in his hands.

"But it's okay," Michelle quickly reassured his when the head of security's face went pale. "We - well he - has a plan."

"And it's gonna work," Flash murmured in addition.

"Gah..." Happy ran a hand threw his non-existent hair and sighed. Try could all see the internal conflict even with the colored lighting and loud blaring horns. "Fine! You two have access to the Avenger's floor anyways. Go, I'll help evacuate people."

They nodded earnestly and thanked him. He told them to use the team's private elevator to avoids crowds trying to get out of the building.

"Hey!" He shouted at them as MJ hit the button for their main living quarters. "Don't mess this up!"
