 Firestar heard the metal groan, then her heart practically leapt in her throat when she saw Gold Star. Angelica switched out the fire right around her and swooped down to grab the young girl into her arms. She flew out of the way of the debris, looking for a safe place to set the girl down.

"Gladly." the man growled, his metal arms lunging towards the boy from all sides. The wall where Spidey's arm had been pinned began to groan as well. Gold Star realized what was happening just as the bars were about to give way. Before the shower of glass and metal could reach her, she felt someone grab her. And the next thing she knew, she was flying. And SHE wasn't the one doing it. "HEY!" she cried out. Half from surprise, half from someone treating her like a...powerless...person. Without waiting for the girl to do anything else to her, she pried herself from her grip and floated beside her. "Thanks for the save and all, but...I can take it from here."

Spidey jumped forward feet first, toward the only place that currently didn't have any metal speeding toward him: the good Doctor's face. "Not exactly what I meant," he said flatly, "But what else should I expect from the person who's attacking innocent people as the world goes the hell? This is low. Even for you. "

Ock's head snapped back, and his signature dark glasses flew off of his face. Much like those seen on the sides of buses some years back. He let out a growl of frustration as his arms whipped to the side to try and knock Parker away from him.
"Innocent?!" he bellowed. "You seriously think I..." he continued to hiss, then trailed off when he realized that he'd begun squeezing the man in his clutches tighter than he needed to.
He growled a bit and loosened his grip just enough to let the man breathe, then turned his attention back to Parker. His pale gray eyes glaring behind scarred skin with clear murderous intent.
"I'm warning you Parker...LEAVE."

Angelica stared wide-eyed at the youth, "Ummmmm.... Sorry. Well, let's go help, Spidey.
With that, Firestar turned back toward the battle with a slight flush to her face, That went well...
The firery hero dove back into the fray. She put up a fire shield around herself, then carefully placed a pair of small blasts toward Ock's posterior -- hoping to distract the villain for Spidey.

One of the arms actually connected this time, and Peter went flying back to demolish a nearby coffee table. Extricating himself gingerly from its remains, he cheerfully quipped, "When pigs fly and Kingpin is svelte, Octavious." It wasn't as though he hadn't caught the doctor's insinuation; he had. However, it didn't really matter if this man was innocent or not. He wasn't going to get hurt-- not on Peter's watch.

Octavious opened his mouth to retort something, but all that came out was a surprised yelp as his murderous expression twisted into surprise. His hands immediately went to put out the flames and he twisted himself around to find who his attacker was. The girl again. Gold Star hovered in the air outside of the building, shaking her head. "And people call me immature..." she mumbled to herself. Carefully, she floated back towards the broken window of the building, and placed herself in the center of it. She'd block this exit, as well as try to reinforce the walls with a telekenetic shield. She was supposed to not brake anything, right? So why should he have all the fun?

While his attention was behind him, Spidey quickly swung towards him, using his arms like kids would use a jungle gym. He lashed out with his fists, then performed a looping, gymnastically impressive kick--everything was aimed directly at the Doctor's face. No way he'd stay conscious if all of that connected.

The move worked. Perfectly. He'd tried at first to strike back with more metal, but he couldn't get anything to the move. The next moment, the arm holding the man loosened completely. And the next thing the former doctor knew....he was on the floor. Out cold.

Spidey landed in a crouch, hands up and ready to spin webs should his enemy still be awake and vengeful.... Seeing his condition, he lowered them and straightened. "Well," he said with a small shrug, "That was surprisingly painless. Thanks, ladies," he added with a smile that could be heard in his voice even if it couldn't be seen. Without further ado, he started webbing Octavious up.

Gold Star smiled a bit, then floated herself down onto the floor and took a few steps inside. "It was mildly entertaining..." Star replied. The man Octavious had been trying to take shakily got onto his feet and tried to make his way towards the door. Not bothering to so much as thank the hero that saved him.

Firestar landed beside Spidey, "Anytime, Spidey. It's good to work with you again." Angelica gave Spidey a beautiful smile with a bit of rose to her cheeks, "I.... missed you."
Angelica felt herself flush, as she spoke...

He was stopped by a net of webbing that pinned him unceremoniously to the wall. "You know what the nice thing is about Doctor Octavious?" Spidey asked, finishing up with binding said doctor with one hand while the other remained pointed at the stranger, "He's honest, at least as villains go. Who are you, and what did you do to him? You really shouldn't hurt his feelings; he's delicate. Oh, and don't bother lying," he added, stepping back from the Doc and crossing his arms. He indicated Gold Star with his thumb. "She reads minds." He could feel his cheeks burning again, but didn't respond to the new chick's statement-- he wasn't at all sure that he could manage a coherent response to something like that, anyway. What had his older counterpart gotten up to with this girl? He sure as hell didn't know her...

// rofl rofl rofl This is great! I love it!//
Without skipping a beat, Firestar stepped up to add to the intimidation by forming some fire just above her hand, "And I play with fire. They don't call me Firestar for nothing..."

Gold Star's smile widened. "That's right." she said brightly. The man's only response were a few obscenities that he didn't bother to hide. "What the $&#@ would it matter what I did to him? He just tried to KILL me." the man spat back. "Look what he did to the building! I should s-"The next moment he couldn't open his mouth. At all. Gold Star tisked. "If you don't simply spill...I'll have to pry." she said, then paused a moment. "And there may be some punching involved. No one likes to be mouthed after doing something nice for someone else. Just saying."
