When the public is reminded of Norman's terrible past, Norman's wheeling and dealing becomes a public concern. Plus, some of the Avengers are getting frisky with each other, and that can't be good.

Norman Osborn gives an interview to respond to Clint Barton's accusations. He argues that Barton himself once was a criminal and got a second chance, so he deserves one, too. Previously Osborn talked reason into the Sentry one more time with the Dark Avengers watching him. Venom and Bullseye get into a fight that Ares breaks up. But when Ares gets home, he finds some unpleasant news. Bullseye also notices Moonstone and Noh-Varr spending the night together. While the interview is still going on, Los Angeles gets attacked and the Dark Avengers are called into action.
