Craig
has completed the antidote for Apogee’s serum, in both gas and injectable form.
Lucy has improvised a hero costume and is planning to deliver the antidote to
Black Widow, knowing the dangers of using her electrical powers but wanting to
help the team….
At
Apogee’s HQ, Black Widow, White Widow, and Spider-Girl are confronting the
villain and his followers, the Olio, and Apogee has just imbibed his serum and
turned into a giant with flaming hands. In the melee, one of the Olio bursts
into flame and Apogee accuses Natasha of doing that. She tries to explain that
it is the effect of the bad guy’s drug but he doesn’t believe her. Apogee flees
and Nat’s back-up arrives: Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) so Nat goes after him. Craig
and Lucy arrive and White Widow and Spider-Girl seal the doors and Craig
releases the gas while Lucy pursues Nat….
Apogee
turns to confront Natasha on a catwalk in a chemical plant. After fighting, he
takes more of his serum and grows even larger. He sizes Nat but Lucy arrives
and shocks him, followed by an injection of the antidote. Nat kicks him off the
catwalk and into a vat of chemicals. But Lucy can’t turn off her powers, her
arms possibly permanently electrified. Nat tries to comfort her and they return
to the main room where the Widows try to explain to the now-depowered Olio that
the serum was toxic and would have killed them eventually. Many don’t believe
her. Lucy makes an impassioned speech that quiets them down and the heroes
leave….
Epilogue:
Apogee rises from the vat….
