Spider-Man sits in his chair, listening uncharacteristically close to what is being said by the ex-Thunderbolts. Once they're done, he turns to Abe Jenkins and says "Why don't you come along with us, Abe? Buddy ol pal? It'll be like old times. Minus the part where I'm stringing you up like christmas lights, but it'll be fun! Come on... I'll even let you punch the new Beetle first before I take him out."

Abe jumps back from Spider-Man - there's raw fear in his eyes. Songbird and Atlas immediately put their hands on his shoulders.
"Abe, it's ok. He's really" Songbird starts.
"HE'S A WALKING NIGHTMARE!" Abe shouts out. "Do you know how many times I had a heist going and BAM! he comes out of nowhere! He always knows where we are and when we go out! The entire Underworld knows it! He's not a man - he's a...he's a force of friggin nature!"
Songbird rolls her eyes as though she's heard this rant a few times. Atlas is more sympathetic. "Yeah, people say that about the Bug and Devil - no matter the plan, no matter the location, they're always there gettin' in the way. It's OK. Spidey's cool, right?" The giant gives Spider-Man a thumbs up.
Captain America gives a quizzical glance. "I'll see you all in the hangar in 15 minutes."

"Fifteen minutes. Will do." Aura says but just heads down right away to the loading area.

Spider-Man watches as Abe throws his fit. Once he's done, Spidey waves in his direction and says "It feels good to know that you're appreciated! But you see, now you're on the other side of the fence. You've got a chance to do some good as long as you stay away from those heists. You've got a pretty neat suit of armor, Abe. Can I call you Abe? Abe, baby. You've just gotta use that suit and those skills for the right thing. It's like a great man once told me... With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility. You've got the power to create some amazing technology. You're just missing the responsibility part of the equation." He turns to face the rest of the team. "Someone get this man a new pair of pants, I think he may have wet himself." He finally turns to give Atlas a thumbs up. If no one has anything else to say to him, he will find his backpack and check on his web fluid and get a glass of water before heading to the hangar.

Kitty finds it hard to hide her amusement over Abe's rant and Spider-mans reply, but manages to keep her snicker hidden. Once the meeting is dismissed, she makes her way down to the hangar; not being a permanent resident here, all she really has is the clothes on her back and.. well, they're already on her back, so no need to head back to her temporary quarters.

Ghostsabre was a little taken aback by this Abe's reaction to Spiderman. Already prepared, she followed after Aura. " Hey, Tally," she called after once they neared the hangar," any ideas who any of these people are? this zemo or the thunderbolts?"

Jen heh's at the interaction between Abe and Spider-man. It must have been weird for someone use to committing crimes for easy profits to on the side of the angels and working with one of your adversaries. Wish was life was easy like that all the time. There wouldn't be need for teams like the Avengers when everyone could get along.
Once its time to roll out, she gets her to go bag and heads for the jet with the rest.

Tally turns back to Tabitha, "No idea to be honest. I imagine they are the guys we will have to stop next and maybe get some down time so I can learn who all these people are." She says in response to her best friend.

Tabitha chuckled. " I know how you feel. At least maybe this time we'll be able to stay on dry land. If I have to do any swimming ever again, it will be too soon." she glanced at She Hulk's arrival and made a polite nod. "At least with She Hulk with us, we should be able to go toe to toe with anything they want to throw at us. Doom's sake, I once saw her tear an Alpha class Sentinel in half with her hands because she was mad. Or the one I know from home."

Abe just puts up his hands defensively, as if he expects Spider-Man to punch him. "No. No, that's OK. I'm good with doing the M.A.C.H. IV thing with the Commission right now, t-thanks. Let me know the next time you need a consultant. Bye." He beats a quick path out of the conference room.
Fixer smirks. "What did you ever see in him again, Songbird?"
Songbird scowls. "Abe's a good man, but he's got some hangups. Which is more than I can say for you, NORBERT." She smirks back. "It's been good seeing you guys."
Atlas grins. "Alright, let's let the bigshot Avengers do their thing. Let me know how it goes."
Songbird slaps the big man on the back. "Won't have to, Erik. You're suiting up."
"What?"
"You know Zemo better than anyone. You're being called up." She alters her voice, sounding very much like Hawkeye. "Don't embarrass me in front of the other Avengers."
Atlas frowns for a moment, then sighs. "OK. Fine. I'll head on down."
The team shortly gathers aboard the Quinjet. Cap and She-Hulk are the controls, with the others gathered at the back. Atlas its with his arms crossed, looking a bit sullen and lost.

Spider-Man snickers a bit and then loudly says "Did she just call you Norbert?!"
Once they're on the Quinjet, Spider-Man sits next to Atlas. "What's the matter big guy? Don't tell me... All you ever wanted to be was a dancer in the Moscow Ballet. Amiright? Huh? Huh?" Spider-Man half lifts his mask up, cracks open a can of Cola and takes a sip.

She-Hulk goes over the pre-flight check and the controls making sure their flight to Germany was as comfortable as possible. Goodness knows they were about to mix it up with some really bad hombres in the near future.
"You look rather glum today, Cap"

Aura once on the quinjet just goes to the back and sits hoping Tabitha sits with her. If not she will move to sit with her and continues the conversation. "You would think that they might explain some stuff to us. And for water, I don't know I like water." Adding the last part with a smile.

Tabitha looked at Tally with a bit of a smirk, and said "Sorry" as she sat in the row in front of her, next to Daredevil. Her hand slid into his and the other rubbed his shoulder gently as she looked back over her seat at Tally, " I'd be content if we had to spend a little time in the desert right now. Or a big bustling city. With no rivers or beaches. I'm sure they'll tell us what we need to know."
She turned her attention back to Daredevil and rested her head on his shoulder, then asked softly," Would you have told me the truth eventually?"

Tally taking the queue leaves her friend to be with the person she is interested in and slips off to the back of the plane.
