Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher Page #4

Leviathan auction will be held anytime.

Tell me where and when.

It's the Leviathan auction.

Come on, don't tell me

you haven't heard of it.

Ren!

It's too risky, Frank.

If they found out I leaked the

information, my life would be over.

I have to be careful where I step.

I still have two daughters.

If the weapons start circulating,

a lot of innocent people,

just like your daughters,

could be killed.

The whole thing is true. There is going to

be a massive auction held by Leviathan.

Tell us where.

- It'll be in Madripoor.

- Madripoor, you say?

My favorite place.

Makes sense,

it's a haven for criminals.

From what I understand, this auction

is drawing particular attention

because their newest weapon

is rumored to be on the block.

There will be no shortage

of buyers bidding for it.

- When is it?

- It's tonight. At 2:00 a.m.

We'll be there.

Heads up, you two. This

piece just ran on the news.

We have footage

of the shootings and explosions

that took place in the

center of Dubai today...

Leviathan's enhanced soldiers.

That's right. They're known as

bio-soldiers within the organization.

This is just in to our newsroom.

Squads of soldiers are on the scene...

A little demonstration

of their product, I see.

Get going. There's no time left.

We'll be feet-dry in five minutes.

We should reach Madripoor soon.

Proceed with extreme caution. And don't

forget, at some point you'll have

to explain how your partner

got out of the brig.

I don't have a partner, remember?

There's no way to

break the brainwashing.

Don't worry about it.

Open the tactical link! We're

about to commence alpha-strike!

Director. Call from Tony Stark.

Thank you all for coming.

I hope you're enjoying the

entertainment. We spared no expense.

Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming

the most influential men in the world,

all of whom have gathered

here at my request,

in anticipation of seeing

something truly unique.

Gentlemen, beneath your feet stands

the pride of our advanced technology.

Think about it. You can program

your own super-powered army.

Never fear S.H.I.E.L.D.

or the Avengers again!

Take a look at the

bio-soldiers of Leviathan!

They're here.

Punisher and Black Widow.

- And the Avengers?

- Negative, sir.

On your right...

I see what you mean, Natasha.

It looks like we're the prey here.

You were saying?

- Frank! Don't kill them!

- I have no choice!

They were all originally...

innocent civilians, you know.

Now they're just killing machines.

Don't forget one thing. They

were all dragged into this!

The same way your family was!

I'm sorry, Frank.

I invited some of my friends to

the party. I hope that's okay.

Elihas!

Close your eyes!

What the hell?

Maybe he doesn't

have a brain to wash!

Sorry to make you wait.

I brought you something.

You need to hold it

up against your eyes.

Amadeus!

I'm telling you, this guy

is harder to ride than a horse.

Shows you what a guy

will do to get a kiss.

This coats your

pupils with a nano-device

that won't accept the brainwashing

signals they're broadcasting.

Good work.

Thanks!

Go get him. He's all yours, Widow.

So, I see everything's going

well with your new partner!

I hope you're happy together!

I did this,

all of this, just for you!

And now after all this, you

turn your back on me! Why?

I sacrificed everything,

everything I'd worked so hard for.

Just to obtain this power

that we could share together!

That's all I ever wanted.

I wanted to spend the

rest of my life with you!

But I wanted to spend that life

as an equal, worthy of your love!

What was wrong with that?

Was it too much to ask?

What was wrong with that?

You're insane!

Oh, Elihas... You didn't think

I loved you just the way you were?

Did you really think

so little of me?

Of yourself? Of us?

You did this all for me?

How dare you?

How dare you make me responsible

for all your crimes?

Then why?

What did I do all of this for?

Why did I do this?

I never intended to

hurt you, Tasha.

Elihas...

Can you see that?

I just wanted to be the kind of man

who deserved your love! That's all...

That's all I wanted!

You never had to earn my love.

You had it by being yourself.

How did this all go so wrong?

I always respected you

for the man you were.

And that was enough.

The Elihas Starr that I always loved

didn't need any special powers.

He just needed to be

there, right by my side.

You were so... so precious to me.

But I always agonized that

I wasn't enough for you.

I never realized that

you were in such pain.

I'm sorry, Elihas.

Have I made a terrible mistake?

Do you remember... what you told

me once, a long time ago?

That more than anything, you

wanted to be a hero for me?

It's not about power. It's about

always trying to do the right thing,

no matter how challenging that

might be at the time. You know?

And now I've failed

that challenge. Right?

I still believe in you, Elihas.

There's a kill switch

for emergencies.

In case a security exploit appeared in the

brainwashing program of the bio-soldiers.

It's there to prevent third

parties from controlling them.

Or worse, in the event the buyers decided

to burn all evidence of the transaction,

and mobilize the bio-soldier

forces against Leviathan itself.

It was a hidden safety valve.

Orion, who is in the auction

room, has that switch.

But you can't just charge in.

All the buyers and their security

teams are there, as well.

Sounds fun.

Would you be willing to work

with me for old times' sake?

Iron Man has arrived.

Please, hold your applause.

What makes you think

anybody cares, Stark?

What an explosive reception.

We must be at the right place.

I hope we're not overdressed!

Oh, man! Are we late?

Try not to get yourself

killed, all right?

Aw! I lost the best seat

in the house! Whoa!

Hey, Frank. That makes

us even for Karachi!

Nice to see you're still as

pleasant as you ever were.

And it's just as nice to see that

you're still bulletproof, Stark.

Oh, boy.

Phew!

Yeah, I thought that might happen.

So I brought your biggest fan.

Hulk hate Graviton!

All right, phase one complete.

Now, why won't Orion come out to play?

What is the meaning

of this, Elihas?

Really. Is that the

best you can do?

Stop it, Orion! I am not

gonna let you do this!

Do you hear me?

I'm going to protect those

who are important to me!

Hmm.

The fact of the matter is,

you're too late.

Our plans are so far advanced,

there's no way you can stop us.

You are weak. It is the

strong who will prevail!

The truth is clear!

There are only winners and

losers, nothing more!

And we, as the winners,

will take back the power!

We will make the rules and we'll be the

ones who carry out their enforcement!

What a bunch of nonsense!

You're nothing more than a terrorist!

A petty thug with

delusions of grandeur!

Let me ask you, Elihas.

What is it that you're

really fighting for here?

In the long history of our world, the
