Thank you everybody for the enthusiastic response to part 1! I was originally going to call this installment “Indiscretions”, but I love Betty and Flash’s conversation in the preview picture so much that I had to include a quote from it. The soap opera meter is going to be off the charts with this post. Instead of tracking through a few decades of shared scenes and coincidences like I did last time, here we have the Flash and Betty’s relationship in it’s early stages. How will it affect their significant others? What happens when Peter finds out? How is the Hobgoblin involved with all the retcons going around?

All this and what may possibly be some of the worse things Flash has ever done. Read on and don’t forget to leave a comment!

She’s alive! I hope that’s not spoiling the ending of this story for anybody, but had it ended any other way it would have made the whole story arc even more pointless than it already was. But at least this story arc is over. We don’t need to do anymore time traveling to the days when the likes of Sabretooth and Kraven disgraced the Avengers name and Captain America was a Nazi-created, bulletproof, Super Soldier. All for the sake of giving Mockingbird some sort of powers… hope it was worth it.

Plot: In London, 1959, Dominic Fortune was questioned by an unseen interrogator about his involvement with Nick Fury’s team of Avengers. Fortune told the interviewer that no one had spoken to or seen Fury since the super spy had left the team with the Red Skull’s briefcase after the assault on the castle. It appeared that Fury  met up with his contact in Bayamo, Cuba. He turned the briefcase over to the General who explained that the Nazi’s were working on a formula that combined the Super-Solider Serum and the Infinity Formula. Fury expressed his uneasiness with how the Nazi’s created their version of Captain America. (more…)
