Reed Richards
Washington, DC

As Reed exited the Whitehouse many eyes fell on him. He was flanked by a secret service member at each side yet only two. Security wasnt really a concern considering his triplets were with him, not to mention his own personal defenses. Despite the solomn look on his face his body language was that of control, poise, and unwavering confidence. Camera's began flashing as soon as he stepped to the podium and he noticed the news camera stands were clustered in the center so that was where he focused his attention. After a few seconds of silence he cleared his throat and the camera's began broadcasting live across the entire nation.

"My fellow americans, i know these past few days have been trying, the disappearance of the Avengers is a cut that runs deep in the heart of our nation. It is therefore with a heavy heart that i announce that america has just had war declared upon her." he paused for a moment taking a sip of the water bottle on the podium to his left hand. "Just three hours ago China launched a full scale invasion on Japan, South Korea, and the phillipeans. It has been reported to me that every soldier we had stationed in these countries has been killed. Well over seven thousand of our children have been taken from us. We will not turn a blind eye to this aggression, but even if we would, satillite imagery shows a fleet coming towards hawaii from the pacific." for the first time in many many years, the reporters were speechless, still trying to absorb the revelation that had been told to them.

"It is because of this that i am begining an initiative to rebuild the Avengers. Already we have many candidates, yet they wont be alone. Every American soldier will be coming home to defend the mainland, the national guard will be mustered, and all reserve forces are now officially active duty." as he said this last bit his face seemed to crack a bit, revealing a flicker of passionate fury. "To those of you who are listening and are responsible for this atrocity, may whatever god you beleive in have mercy upon you...because I have none for you. America never hits first, but we damn sure hit last and i can promise you once we have finished you will know the error of your ways...i will be taking questions now." he straightened up as much as he could as the reporters and onlookers began shouting Mr.president, seeking to have their questions answered.

Finally a young man with bright red hair and freckles managed to shove his way to the front of the crowd and was pointed out. "Mr.President, you say we are at war...china has the single largest standing army in the world, and recently their technology has been said to be a match for our own what will we do." reed seemed to ponder this question for a moment before saying boldly and without fear
"We will win."

Charles Xavier, San francisco ,Redwood Mutant sanctuary

Charles exited the Jet mere moments after watching President Richards address to the country and already he was beginning to feel the panic and fear spreading through the minds of the world. It was honestly a bit unnerving, hell even he was worried about what would happen next. Behind him the massive frame of his big little brother Marco Stepped out his Juggernaut suit and helmet on, and a large breifcase in his hand. Already his eyes were scanning the crowd looking for any potential threats, yet all he would see was Fellow mutants looking at the two of them in awe. Here stood the Champion of Mutant rights and The Unstoppable Juggernaut, a dynamic duo whos polar opposite natures seemed to fit perfectly together.

The Two began their long walk to the Building where Eric and his cohorts were making their plans. As they approached the metal doors they peeled open they were expected after all. Eric approached the two with a wide smile and open arms. "Charles, Marco, good to see you again old friends. Who do i owe the credit for your visit this time." he said knowing full well how Charles had found him, as per usual he had scanned the minds of the other members of thd brotherhood. Charles smiled and said "Your Friend Toad drove a little to close to the State of new york, I took a peek on a hunch and sure enough here you are planning your little schemes as usual, do you never learn Eric." He stood looking into erics eyes yet finding nothing on account of his helmet, funny how he still found himself trying after all these years.

Eric looked frlm charles to Marco then back. "You didnt come here to stop me Clearly, you wouldve brought the rest of your little hit squad with you...No offense Marco." he said nodding to The massive figure behind charles. "Non taken." He practically grunted. "So why are you here charles?" eric looked charles dead in the eyes not wavering not showing any weakness, yet he still felt as if charles was in control.

As it turned out he was right to. "Im here to help, call it an investment." he said nodding to Juggernaut who opened the suitcase showing it to Eric. "Is this..." he stammered as he looked at the five glowing Red vials. "Yes Eric, Pheonix Fractals...we need all the help we can get at this point. Work with me eric, we can survive together and show the world what our kind can do." Magneto smiled and reached a hand out only to almost lose it as juggernaut slammed the case shut. "What did you have in mind charles..." eric said as he pulled his hand back. "I am glad you asked Eric, do you mind if i take a seat."

Tony Stark, Endrealm, unknown location.

Tony barely knew what had happened, one moment he was meeting with reed and several other avengers, then a bright flash and a falling feeling followed by blackness. All those thoughts raced through his mind as he woke up groggily at first. Yet as his senses came to him he quickly rolled onto his back spawing a magictek gauntlet glowing with magical energy ready to blast whatever he needed too. Luckily there was nothing to blast. He found himself on a weird silver colored hill. More hills sprawled out as far as the eye could see and atop each one was a strange reflective whte tree looking structure he immedietly recognized as satillite towers.

"Ok...weird, but still alive...anybody home?" as he spoke he raksed his hand to the side of his head summoning a fraction of his helmet so he could speak through the avengers com units. As he finished speaking His spirit Guide Jarvis spoke through the earpiece. "Sir something has locked on to your location, airborne at 38° west distance six hundred meters, five hundred, four hundred." tony sighed as he summoned his full suit of armor in an instant. "Never a dull moment..." he muttered in a snarky tone as he prepared to blast some crimson nets of cytorak on whatever was approaching.

Rose

Rose listened attentively as her father gave the grave news, and for once the press was silent as a tomb until at last one brave soul decided to speak up. She look this moment to glance at her two sisters standing beside her. Lily was in her full heroes outfit while Daisy was wearing all black with with boots and a leather jacket, the only color being her green highlights and eyes. She looked impeccably bored with the whole affair but Rose could tell she was keeping an eye out for any form of attack, as was she. So far everything appeared to be normal, everything except for the absence of the Avengers. She stayed attentive as a good daughter should be.

Lady Thor

It was like a nightmare, one minute she was in President Reed’s office and the next she was being abducted, sucked into a inter-dimensional portal and into this vast blackness that never seemed to end until at last she was here in this godforsaken realm. She had been dumped unceremoniously into a forest of sorts, but it was like no forest she had ever seen, the trees were white as chalk, but intertwined with what appeared to be metal parts, leaves a brilliant blue, the sky overhead was a deep royal purple, the likes of which she has never seen, the ground underneath was not the same earthly tones as earth, but a vivid hue she couldn’t name littered with tons of blue leaves. “Where in the realms am I, who dares kidnap the mighty Thor!??” Could this be the work of her diabolical sister Loki?? No, that was foolish, even she was not capable of an illusion this powerful and lucid if this was such a thing. Nah, that could not be so, something about this place felt real to her, but it was like she ever —- SNAP!

She spun around, hammer instantly in her hand. “Who is there!? Show yourself to me!?” For a moment there was silent and then something jumped at her, snarling. She instinctively rammed it with her hammer, smashing it before she could get a clear enough look at what her assailant was. It slammed through the strange half-wood half-metal trees, before it righted itself and now she got a good look at what it was. It was some sort of alien creature, two small beady eyes stared her down, and it’s maw was open in a snarl. It’s dark “skin” was gleaming under the light of the two suns overhead, showing off its metallic structure. From the sound it’s body made when her hammer made contact with it, she could conclude that it was entirely made of metal. What the Hel was this place?? Some metal world?? The creature looked at her a moment longer and then howled into the air. Summoning even more of the creatures. Lady Thor though didn’t have time to deal with nor patience with mere hounds, so she slammed her hammer down on the ground and flew off.
“Tony. Tony you there?? Vision?? Anyone??”
She said into her com.​

Davis was not in the audience when Reed had been giving his speech but he did hear and listen to the statement giving by Richards, Davis was caught up making his arrows more flexible in variety. In his basement he worked hard to shape his arrows putting a net inside the tip of one his arrows. Davis thought about what Reed said last to the press We Will Win that stayed with Davis "Your right Reed we have too." He had a flash back of his father and mother dying at the hands of a murderer that was never caught before the flashback ended. "Because I don't see any other choice." Davis grabbed his bow and arrows, then his quiver and his suit and he left his house to head to where he could be a candidate to join the new Avengers team. WeaselThor and everyone else

Hercules

The olympian god awoke in his rather large bed and he was not alone. Raising up he looked around him with a smile, three women shared the bed with him, and two men. He climbed out of the four poster california king sized bed as quietly as he could so as to not wake his company. Struting to the kitchen in his birthday suit he pulled the fridge open and rummagef around closing it to reveal his arms full of meats and a couple dozen eggs. He was about to get to work cooking it when a knock on the door caught his attention. He walked towards the door scooping up the sword of mars on his way just in case things got hectic.

Luckily that was not the case instead two members of the secret service stood waiting for him. "Greetings mortal mechines how can the prince of power Help you." he said as he grinned a jolly smile. The two agents inclined their heads in a slight bow as they handed herc a file. He opened it as they talked looking at some of the pictures, he recognized his Brother Ares, Skorge the Son of Surtur, And vaguely recognized that doom guy that was always caising the president trouble. "We were sent to recruit you into president Richards new avengers initiative. With the core avengers gone the world needs a new lineup of avengers and the president thinks you would be a solid candidate." the agents seemed to be either oblivious or apathetic towards his nudity. Nonetheless the God smiled "I am busy at the moment, but consider your offer accepted, tell presodent richards that i am quite greatful he would consider me." the agents nodded and did their slight bow again before turning to leave, they let herc keep the file and he closed the door behind him to see one of the ladies waiting behind the door in her own birthday suit with a frown.

"Do you have to leave now?" she said crossing her arms in a huff. Herc just smiled. "of Course not, first we must eat, then comes round 2, afterwards i will leave." he said setting the swprd against the wall again and moving towards the kitchen. "Go and wake up your friends. " he said in a seductive tone as he turned on the stove.

Hank Pym,
Pym Technologies Headquarters, San Francisco ​

Hank had just finished in his personal lab when he heard the President's announcement. He had been working away on the latest iterations of his Ultron armour; the Ultron-6 and 7. Though they were identical in appearance, they were a marked improvement over the Ultron-5. Both featured additional armaments, with energy blasters located on the wrists and greatly improved durability thanks to their adamantium composition. However, both were designed with a specific function in mind and therefore featured distinct new personal additions as well.

The Ultron-6 was designed for increased versatility. It could work in tandem with a new flight module that Hank had developed that would slot externally on to the armour allowing for increased mobility as well as aerial combat capabilities. Hank had hoped to be able to reduce the module in size so it could be fitted internally but the increased weight of the Ultron-6 had necessitated a further increase in power and consequently a larger size. Hank would have to revisit the issue for future models.

For the Ultron-7, Hank had decided to forgo mobility and instead focus entirely on maximum-strength amplification. Standing at a colossal 15 feet, it truly was a sight to behold. With the county now at war with China and the call to arms from the President to the superhero community, Hank suspected this armour would see action sooner rather than later, if not for its sheer intimidation factor alone.

The news of the Avengers disappearance was troubling but Hank suspected that the dimensional anomalies that President Richards discovered played a large role in it. It would warrant further investigation from Hank, that was, of course, if the President hadn't already deduced what occurred.

Despite how brilliant he was, Hank knew his intellect paled in comparison to the President's. That man was in a league completely his own.

Therefore, Hank came to the conclusion that his time and energies would be better focused on doing what he could as Ultron, not Hank Pym. The Avengers had left big shoes behind but Ultron would try his damndest to do his part in filling them.

Quicksilver
Endsrealm - Location Unknown

Petra awoke with a wild gasp and immediately stood up to get her bearings. "What? Where --" she looked around, and blinked twice in shock, she was surrounded by desert, or at least she thought was desert, but the desert sands were a vivid pink and the sky was a light purple amid two suns, one black, one white, "where the fuck am I!?" She definiately wasn't on Earth anymore that was for certian, the hues were all wrong and Earth didn't have two suns. The heat was sweltering, so much so that beads of sweat were already shining on her silver hair. Slowly, Petra stood up, squinting her eyes at the sky. The rest of the Avengers were nowhere to be found. Not a single one. She couldn't even find Cap's blue and red shield or Vision's tree like form or Iron Socerers magic robot suit. Even Lady Thor was missing. Did they vanish? Then like a flash, she remembered. The meeting with the President, the portals opening, each sucking them each in through. So they must be somewhere in this strange realm! It was then right on cue, that she got chatter on her coms. First Iron Socerers and then Thor, each asking where everyone is. She breathed a sigh of relief so their coms still worked good. She activated her com and immediately contacted both of them. "Quicksilver here. Reading you all perfectly fine. I am in some sort of pink desert. Where are you guys?" There was a moment of radio silence until she heard the familiar tone of Thor coming through.

"Oh, thank Asgard! I was transported to a strange metal woods, then got ambushed by metal hounds. Currently in flight. How are things on your end?"

"All's quiet on my end. No metal hounds at least, I am going to try to find my way out of this desert, the heat is killing me. Anyone has any idea what the hell happened?!" As she was saying this, she broke into a run, and it wasn't a normal run. The desert blew past her so fast it was almost a blur, she was moving so fast that everything moved like a slug, she could see sand throwing itself upward as she passed by them. With the rate she was going, she suspected to be out of this strange desert in a matter of seconds. She was built for speed, her legs didn't even burn, they just continued doing their thing effortlessly. She kept coms up just in case she was getting any more transmissions. It was then that she heard it. A giant squawk that reverbrated everywhere and she turned around, only to barely dodge a massive claw. A giant bird was flying down toward her, at speeds that more than matched her own. It's massive wings gleamed in the sunlight, it's red eyes flashing crimson, and much to Quicksilver's disgust and horror, half of it's body was that of a machines. She pushed herself forward, flying into speeds unimaginable, trying to keep the bird at bay. The bird sqwaked in annoyance, and increased it's own speed to catch up. She could feel it's shadow over her, as suddenly it let out a sonic blast that destroyed the ground underneath her, disabling her footing and throwing out of her speed and into a nearby canyon, where she was smashed around like a pin ball. She heard and several bones break and when she finally came to a stop several hundreds of miles away, it was to utter agony. All the bones in her body were broken. Slowly, she tried to stand, but her body protested in pain and she screamed. She could hear Thor on the other head, saying something in alarm, but her head was too busy swimming in pain to hear what she was saying.

To make matters worse, she heard a thunderous roar as the bird from earlier dived toward her. Just then, her bones snapped back into place as her healing came through, and she was just barely able to flash out of the way in time.Watching as the beak slammed into into the ground where she lay. The bird tucked at the ground, clearly stuck. And Petra started to immediately swirl her arms, creating a massive tornado that slammed into the half-bird, half-machine with enough force to blow it's feathers off, revealing a sheer metal ecoskeleton underneath. It screamed in pain as the whirlwind hit it, as if it had pain receptors, and then enraged it threw itself off the ground and into the air, but couldn't move due to the sheer amount of wind that was pounding into it. Petra didn't waste anytime and immediately started running again, this time zigzaging across the desert, which much to her sorrow never seemed to end ..... until finally she came across some .... white trees??? White trees with what appeared to be metal components sticking out of them. She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief to see the bird was completely gone.

"Fucking giant bird!"

"Are you alright??"

"Just a few broken bones, nothing I can't handle. I'm in your forest now. Just give me a moment to track your respective locations."

Tony stark
Endrealm- Location unknown.

Tony listened to his comrades chat but only said. "One sec guys." he said as the object came into view he was surprised to see a weird sort of airborne octopus drone. "Mingling with the locals." he said as he loosed the crimson band of cytorak wrapping it around the central body of the octopus drone and spinning as he flew up tugging on the red band of magical energy. This caused the octopus to do a loop before being slammed hard into the hillside. Metal snapped and sparks flew, yet the drones body began morphing and twisting as if it was about to recover. Tony wasnt gonna give it the chance "Annnd done." he said as he unleashed a twin repulsor blast reducing the octopus to scrap metal as the band holding it faded into thin air. "Ok Petra, Steve, Thor...anyone else get the kalamari welcome party? Nevermind, ill deploy a signal becon to boost the signal...one of you lovely ladies scoop up steve and move quick. Something tells me as soon as i drop this tower imma get to meet alot more natives"

as he finished his transmission he caused his armor to bring up the mystical hologram menu where he quickly tapped two buttons with his fingers before his armor morphed around his back producing a cylinder on his back which shot above him deploying several cables and pulling itself to the ground with a clang before the top popped open and a telescoping tower extended at least fifty feet into the air and it began unleashing pings to the avengers, and any others who could receive a signal. It was riskey but frankly tony didnt care at least until Jarvis chided in his ear. "Sir three signatures inbound. correction seven, twelve, twenty si-" tony cut him off. "I get it jarvis...Avengers Doubletime." he said as he gathered all the ambiant magical energy he could find.

Reed Richards
The Oval office.

Reed answered questions for nearly an hour before he called the press confrence to a close and returned to the white house. "Girls i need you to go to hawaii, help our boys hold the line while i get this new avenger initiative up and running. Try to have fun, and be careful, reports from guam have warned of massive amounts of Drones and some kind of demon. If you could bring the latter to me that would be very helpful." he said dismissing them with a hug and carrying on to the oval office where he would be busy for the forseeable delegating orders through the military chain and coordinating with the military R&d department on experimental weapons.

The breakfast was simple. Bacon, Eggs, toast, and orange juice. The romp that followed afterwards was far more adventurous and spectacular. It was around 1pm when herc finally led his guests out with a cheerful smile. closing the door behind him he turned his attention to the file that had been left. Aside from a list of potential candidates for the team and a long list of threats they would need to address it contained an address for the rendevouz. He consulted his maps for a moment finding the longitude and latitude. Smiling when he found it he went to his nightstand and took the golden key athena had given him. Sticking it into his closet he twisted it and for a breif moment a flash of silver light went off under the door. When he swung it opem it was no longer a closet but a large room lined with crystal columns. Each colomn held a particular piece of armor or a weapon, his own arsenal.

After walking the line for a few minutes he picked up the helmet hephestus had made him, and dropped the towel around his waist. The helmet shimmered as he placed it on his head, metal and leather rippled down from it snaking around hercules frame and coating him in his sealing armor. He walked for a breif moment further before grabbing the black and gold sword of War. After slinging the sheath strap over his shoulder he began heading for the door grabbing a pair of winged sandals on the way out. It only took him about three minutes to put on the sandals and make his way to the roof of the building. Turning south west he made a running start before catapaulting himself hundreds of meters into the air and activating the sandal sending him rocketing through the air towards the mohave.

Central park subway transit station.

Purplish lightning crackled from seemingly nowhere in the subway terminal causing the people there to gawk for a moment before the bolts began to collide with each other producing a loud bang, which was followed by more as the point of collision began to swell into a purplish orb. At first it was six inches across but it began to grow rapidly until it was a meter in diameter. By this point the lightning and loud bangs had grown so intense and loud that everyone who was there before had long since fled. Finally the lightining and the bangs ceased leaving the glowomg orb humming for a fraction of a second before it began to shift into a humaniod shape. As the glow began to disapate a man in a white helmet and a black suit with purple lights from head to toe. Beneath the helmet one could make out a single green eye and a single blue eye. "And so it begins." he said cryptically before walking off the platform and climbing down to the rails. He faded into the shadows of the tunnels just as the police stormed into the terminal with their guns drawn.

War Machine
Cybertek Manufacturing Facility, New Mexico​

Jim awoke to the pungent smell of disinfectant, invading his nostrils. The room was silent apart from his raspy breathing and the constant beeping sound of hospital machines. He slowly opened his eyes, squinting in attempt to sharpen the blurred images before him. As he glanced around the room, he was taken aback for a moment; the whole room was a strange red colour. Jim closed his eyes and reopened them. No not the room, he can make out the clinical white colour of the walls, everything was just overlaid with the colour red for some reason. Was it his vision? Jim reached up to touch his face but found himself unable to do so.

"You're awake."

Jim looked over towards the voice and saw the figure of a man sitting in the corner of the room. Jim attempted to sit up to get a better look at him but once gain found himself unable to move.

"Don't be alarmed Colonel Rhodes." The mysterious man said. "We've just disabled your motor functions for your own safety."

Motor functions? What was he talking about? What happened?

Jim shut his eyes, trying to remember what had exactly happened. Then it all came rushing back with a bang. The sound of sirens, explosions and screams, the memory of it all began to occupy his thoughts.

He had been stationed at Kadena Air Force Base in Okinawa occupying his time playing card games with some of his fellow marines; Manning, Hayes and Peterson, when all hell broke loose. The air raid siren blared into life causing all four of them to jump to the ready, knocking over the table and sending cards and poker chips everywhere in the process. They hurried outside and looked up to see Chinese Xian H-6 bombers fast approaching. Jim ran towards the airfield just as the first bombs hit. The explosions rocked the base, causing him to stumble but he caught himself and pushed onward. The last thing Jim could remember was being mere feet away from a fighter jet, the sound of more bombers directly overhead and then a bright flash accompanied by a white hot heat.

"Where am I?" Jim rasped.

"You're at a Cybertek facility, Colonel. You and some of your fellow survivors were flown here directly after the attack."

Cybertek? Jim had heard of them. They were known to manufacture state of the art prostheses for injured veterans. Had he been injured?

"You all were in a critical condition when you arrived so the President gave us express permission to operate immediately."

"Operate? The President?" Jim was struggling to wrap his head around what exactly the man was saying.

"Oh yes. When we contacted him with our proposition, he didn't hesitate. A man of vision the President, always thinking ahead, always looking at the bigger picture. You have to respect him for that. He allowed us to give you a second chance, Colonel, and in return, you and the others are expected to be Cybertek's contribution to his new war machine. The first of what we hope to be a long line of cyborg soldiers, all outfitted with the latest Cybertek has to offer."

"Wait. Cyborg?" Jim said surprised.

"Well, of course." The man sounded puzzled by Jim's surprise. "One doesn't simply walk away from an attack like that unscathed. There wasn't much left for us to work with it after all. It was almost all we could do to simply try and put you back together again. But thankfully, for everyone involved, we managed to do more than that; we didn't just rebuild you Colonel, we improved you." The man's pride in what they had done was evident in his voice. But was it pride or arrogance?

"You're now stronger than you've ever been. You have capabilities that others have only ever dreamed of but I also want you to understand that this technology is all still very experimental. We learnt a lot from our work on Captain America but it is still only relatively recently that we have begun to apply what we learnt there to living tissue, and never before has it been done on this scale. This kind of integration of flesh and machine will create new physical, mental, emotional and maybe even moral stresses. It's unknown how its going to affect you long term. Hell, even long term is highly subjective at this point. Our best estimates suggest that you probably have at least a year before the strain on your body becomes too much. Maybe more with repeated surgery, but that would be only a stop gap at best..."

The man paused, catching himself. He had begun to deviate.

"I apologise if, so far, I have made it sound like you don't have a choice in the matter. Of course you do, Colonel. This is America after all. You are free to do as you like. Should you wish to leave and never look back, you are more than entitled to do so. We simply assumed a man such as yourself, a man willing to lay down his life for his country, would be more than willing to do so again given the opportunity. After all, we can't let such unprovoked aggression go unpunished now, can we?"

Jim's mind flashed back to the attack. Thinking about what the Chinese did. He hated them. God help him, he hated them. Every single one. Maybe someday they'll hate him just as much. But he didn't care. All he knew, was that today the country needed a war machine. And If that had to be him, then so be it. He would be there War Machine.

"I'm in." Jim replied sternly. "Just tell me what you need me to do."

"Good, I'm glad to hear it." The man stood up from his chair and headed towards the door. "We'll start running tests immediately. We want you back in the field as soon as possible after all." The man opened the door and was about to leave when he paused. He looked back towards Jim. "But remember Colonel, from here on out you represent Cybertek, in everything you do, so please try your best not to embarrass us."

Rose nodded, taking everything her father said in stride and accepting his hug with vigor. Then she strode through the White House with her sisters into the field and flew off, immediately heading toward Hawaii, direct as always. Daisy followed, lagging behind slightly.

Quicksilver
“Got it Tony, running now.” Petra acknowledged as she took off, running as fast as she can toward the nearest beacon, the wind rushing through her silver hair as she zoomed through it. “Steve, you there? Tony is in trouble. I need ETA on your location! Thor, get to Tony Stark! He may need your help. If any of the Avengers are listening to this,” she paused, thinking for a moment, her high-functioning brain speeding through all possibilities that have occurred, "be extra careful out there, the locals aren't exactly friendly." Petra then went silent as she focused as speeding toward the nearest beacon, zooming past trees and avoiding colliding with them. She noticed a huge tower up in the distance but surmised that was where Tony was. But she had her orders.

Thor
Tony's magic continued to impress her even to this day, so when the Tower sprung up some distance away, Lady Thor knew where Tony Stark was. "Petra, I'm going to help Tony out, you round up the rest of the Avengers, Asgard knows you're the fastest one here!"

"Already on it, Dolly. Coming across the first beacon any second now."

Thor couldn't help but roll her eyes at the name "Dolly." Dolly was a mortal form that Odin, her father, thrust upon her to teach her humility, yet that's what everyone knew her as. Maintaining radio silence, Thor flew toward Tony as fast as she could.

Hank Pym,
Pym Technologies Headquarters, San Francisco
​

Hank was sitting in his office, looking over some company files, when he heard the voice of his personal assistant over the intercom.

"Dr. Pym, I have two federal agents here to see you. They don't have a meeting but they say its urgent."

"That's okay, Tom. Send them in."

Hank wasn't too worried about the agents presence exposing him as Ultron. The President and Hank would often liaise on scientific matters, so federal agents were seen in the building from time from time so it was by no means an unusual thing to see.

The door opened and two members of the secret service stepped into the room. "Greetings, gentlemen." Hank stood up from his chair and offered them a seat. The agents shook their heads in response. Hank sat back down. "How can I help you today?"

One of the agents placed a file down on Hank's desk. Hank perused it as the agent began to speak. "As I'm sure you are already aware, Dr Pym. The Avengers are currently missing. In response, the President has re-enacted the Avengers Initiative in order to find new candidates to join his interim group of Avengers."

Hank looked over the list of potential candidates. There were quite a few big names here like Hercules ( WeaselThor ) and Captain Marvel ( PolikShadowbliss ) but also a few Hank didn't recognise like Davis Conway ( S Senate8 ).

"The President would like you to be one of them. He believes your scientific expertise could prove invaluable."

Wow! Hank's eyes widened. An Avenger! It was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

"O-Of course. I would be absolutely honoured to join."

"The President will be glad to hear it. You will find co-ordinates for the rendezvous in the file. Good day, Dr Pym."

“Gotcha!” Petra replied back, immediately changing direction and heading east. The world zoomed past her as she headed toward Steve Rogers and within seconds, she was upon the familiar star-spangled cyborg forever equipped his large circular shield that screamed America. She stopped just short of Steve Rogers, smiling. “Well good morning Cap! Nice day isn’t it?” Her smile faltered though when she realized that Vision, T’challa and Natasha have yet to report in, she opened up her coms. “Vision, T’Challa, Natasha! Report in! We need to know your location! I repeat report in!” She tried not to let the worry mar her voice. “Come on Cap Tony is in trouble! We can worry about the rest later.” So saying she wrapped her arms around Cap and using her strength, lifted him up and ran as fast as she could toward the tower.

When she arrived there a mere minute later, it was amass with lightning and thunder as Lady Thor was using her mighty powers to fry what appeared to be a horde of flying drones. Tony Stark was in the middle of the fray, doing his usual stuff, fighting off an increasing number of drones. She set Cap down, eying the fight as she ran toward the other beacons.​

Spider-Woman
Two years, two years she had been here on this Earth, fighting crime as Spider-Woman or as J Jonah Jameson said, Spider-Girl. God, he irritated her to no end with his constant attacks and horrible slurs. Just like her J Jonah Jameson, the son of bitch always existed regardless of which universe. She was now swinging across the buildings of New York, it was her day off. No crimes, no villians, it would seem that the threat of Chinese invasion have nulled crime in this particular region. She swung into the side of a building and just decided to run across the building. A feat that took her years in her world to accomplish now came to her easily and effortlessly. She ran until she found her favorite spot then let her hood down and took her mask off, breathing a sign of relief as she feels the air on her face. Just then her spider-sense immediately went off, causing her to spring up in response. Until she caught sight of three federal agents standing on the building.

“What do you want!?”

The federal agent seemed unfazed by the fact that he could see her identity. They all did. The lead federal agent leapt forward and handed her a file, and said simply, “Spider-Woman, you have been selected to join the President’s New Avengers. As you are aware, the Avengers are missing. We would have approached Peter Parker, but as he has been missing for two years, we only have you.” There was notable disdain in the agents voice, as if he too deemed her an imposter but was merely doing his duty. Marie looked at the file and whistled in astonishment.

“Whew! You got some heavy hitters here! Hercules and Captain Marvel?! Wow. Why would you need me?? I’m just a bug!”

The agents frowned, “the President has need of your particular skill and abilities. Do you accept this??”

“Do I have a choice? Yes of course!”

The agent almost smiled. “Good. Follow us!”

Kayla

Six months. Six months she had been sitting her in this universe, this one universe out of millions of universes. This one universe that was most definitely ..... fictional ..... she could almost see the panels and drawn lines, feel the weight of invisible eyes, feel the mind of her “creator” reeling. A creator she no longer knew the name of, could no longer hear, and can no longer see. She had woken in an alleyway with only a few memories. Her name thankfully, basic knowledge and skills, the Marvel universe, and her ally Zephyr. She didn’t remember anything else. She had no memories of where she came from, or any of her past. She knew just enough that she had a past, but couldn’t remember what.

She spent the last six months surveying this universe and it shocked how different it was from the main Marvel universe. Reed was the President?! Xavier was a congressmen?! Thor has a vagina?! Vision was a tree?! Cap is a cyborg?! That alone was enough to make her mind reeling but then she saw three woman who were clearly a grown up version of the Powderpuff Girls fighting an ape with a huge brain that was clearly Mojo Jojo and knew immediately that something was seriously, inconceivably wrong! The Powderpuff Girls?! But they aren’t Marvel characters! What are they doing here!? Did Disney get their rights —- oh wait, right, this wasn’t the MCU. Hell, this wasn’t even an official universe, it was just some RP somewhere on the internet in the prime world. Strange how she knew that yet couldn’t remember her own past??? Yet this universe was in danger. It wasn’t real. But then again either was she. So whatever happened to this universe was bound to happen to her. So she did retcon for several months.

So here she was now, in what was no doubt just a paragraph in their eyes, six grueling months later, sitting in an alleyway, trying to get warm. One of the problems of being an unknown character, no money, and no home. So she was essentially homeless. That suited her just fine. She considered joining the New Avengers proposed by Reed but she had a mission. She had decided to simply scry the rest of the characters on Earth to see what they were doing, when suddenly a rift appeared in the world and her friend reappeared in this world. Existent again. She was delighted to see him but at the same moment dread filled her heart. She got up and turned around and in a instant was right beside the man, walking alongside him as if she’s always been there.

“So they come for this world,” she said casually and conversationally. “I should have figured as much with President Reed’s warnings. Oh yeah Reed is the President in this universe. There’s a lot different about this world compared to the mainstream continuity.”

X-23
How did it feel watching Marco, the man who violently took over the Brotherhood of Mutants all those years ago, and Professor X, the man who she had failed to kill and had violated her mind in the process of getting the name of her employer, side by side as if they were best friends, walking toward Magneto as if they were long been allies. Hell, Magneto didn't even blink at Marco, instead he greeted him as an old friend, despite the fact that he usurped him many years ago. She watched and listened as Charlies made his offer, and what an offer it was, Phoenix Fractals for each of them. What was his plan? There had to be a catch. If Charlies recognized X-23 among the entourage of mutants flanking Magneto, he gave so sign. Either did Marco. But that was expected. For X-23 was well-hidden and quite a distance from them, watching from a rooftop, her keen eyes never escaping them. The world's greatest telepath and arguably the world's strongest mutant. If they decided to turn on them it will be all over in an instant. But not before X-23 killed Charlies as payback for that one missed assassination attempt. It would easy with Marco distracted with Magneto. That was only if things went south though. But the fact that the rest of his precious X-Men weren't here was a good sign, a show of good faith. It was such a shame though, she wondered how they handled the numerous scars and maiming she had given them. She remembered giving one girl a slash across the eye, she wondered where she was now, or even if she was now missing an eye because of her. She smiled ruefully at the thought as she watched the people below. Ready to pounce down the moment things went south.​

Peter Parker (deceased)
It was a grueling fight, a fight that he and Doc Oc had several times over the years. How was he supposed to know this time was going to be different? That this was going to be his last fight. He swung, he dodged, he punched, he made his usual quips, then suddenly out of nowhere, a mechanical arm had hit straight through the chest during one of his numerous dodges. At first he was going to shake it off just like always, but then he heard fanatical laughter of mocking savage triumph just as he felt a horrible stabbing pain through his chest. His eyes started swimming as he slowly looked down at his chest and found ..... and found ...... that he had been skewered ..... fatally through the heart. His vision was fading even as he looked, even as he felt the life slowly leaving his body. He barely had time to think before the darkness of death took him and he was no more.

"No." Came a powerful voice in what felt like no time at all yet all the time in the world, "You, Peter Parker, shall not die. This story still has need of you. Return to the world of the living!"

And Peter Parker gasped awake to the sound of an alarm bell ringing.​

Rhino,
New York City, New York
​

The federal agents exited the building, with Spider-Woman following closely behind, and were about to cross the street towards a waiting car when all of a sudden -

"thump", "thump."

Two grenades landed near the groups feet.

"Grena-" cried out one of the agents but he was cut off when the grenades went off covering the area in a deep, thick smoke. The agents coughed and spluttered as they inhaled the smoke doing their best to cover their mouths whilst also readying their sidearms.

"Protect Spider-Woman."

The agents took positions around Spider-Woman when the ground began to shake. The agents kept their positions as the rumbling noise drew closer and closer. Then suddenly, out of the smoke, a large metal object crashed into one of the agents sending him flying through the air.

"Washington!" yelled one of the agents as the metal object disappeared back into the smoke.

The rumbling sound approached once more causing one of the agents to fire into the smoke.

"Jefferson watch your fire! There are civilians, damnit!" shouted the lead agent.

With a grunt, the metal object thundered through the smoke and into Jefferson before disappearing again into the smoke.

"What the hell are we dealing with?" said the lead agent.

For a few moments, as the smoke began to clear, silence reigned. Then, as the smoke cleared completely, there in front of Spider-Woman and the agent stood Rhino. The agent prepared to fire but before he could take the shot, he was struck down by W'Kabi's billhook.

"Time for a rematch, Spider-Woman!" bellowed W'Kabi. "And this time, I will not lose."

"Schiebe!" Maria cursed as she stared the black man down. He had a thick Wakandan accent just like always and it always jarred her. On her world, Wakanda was the center of the Resistance for a time, her parents died to Wakandan soliders and their Black Panther. Not to mention their clear "impurity". She knew now that it was all a load of bullshit, she guessed she knew for a while but it took the Spiderverse event, Peter Parker dying, and being stranded here for two years . She had a lot of choose words for the damn man, none of them remotely politically correct, but she swallowed them, "it took you long enough!" She yelled, her German accent thick even in her own ears. She steadied herself into the ready position. And with that she leaped into the air and over the Rhino, shooting both her webbing at the man, securing him in his seat. “You know from where I came from, your kind are nearly extinct, forced to hide in the filth after your precious Wakanda was blown to bits by the Leader. Luckily for you, the Leader is very dead and so are the rest of the League. But you still have me to contend with!”

"Guess what time it is kids! It is time for the Funnybone hour. With your host, Mr. Funnybone!"
An audience of unseen children clapped and cheered as a man wearing a green sweater vest and brown pants walked out with a big, almost comical grin on his face onto a obviously fake background of what looked like a childish depiction of a house, complete with a prop cat on a windowsill and a smiling sun painted onto a fake blue sky outside the window.. He waved at the audience, which was comprised of 10 people sitting on makeshift chairs, clapping with big fake smiles while looking around in fear at 3 three men standing around them, wearing Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Richard Nixon masks and costumes pointing shotguns at them. This forced audience's clapping was accompanied by the same hooting children from earlier, which was really stock sound effects being filtered through the make-shift soundstage through a sound booth manned by a man wearing a smile face mask and smile-face themed tuxedo. The man let out a childish, goofy sounding chuckle as he said to the audience," Well hello kids. it's me, Funnybone. Tonight's gonna be a spectacularicious day. We are being broadcasted live thanks to Mr. Datahead," at this point, a camera pointed in the direction of a man wearing a Groucho Marx costume. He waved cheekily as he sat by a computer and started to hack the TV signals of every station in the city to broadcast Funnybone's makeshift tv show.

''Alright kids, today our special show is expecting a special guest. Can you guess who?"
Suddenly, a comical barking noise echoed through the studio as a raggedy dog puppet wearing a tuxedo and top hat appread over a nearby counter. Funnybone clapped and laughed as he turned to the camera with a smile.

" Hey kids. It's Sir Dog-A Lot. He came to see the special guest."
That is quite right my dear chap. Now, where is she."
Funnybone happily skipped towards a covered area of the stage and clapped cheerfully. Suddenly, the curtain covering it fell off, revealing Gwen Stacy knocked out on the floor of a cage that had a couch and a glass of water in it.
" By jove, it is a Spider Girl!" Dog-A-Lot said, referring to Gwen's UV protection suit.
"That is right!" Funnybone said while clapping, thinking back to the prank that helped catch her, which involved holy water from a nearby church and a canister of nighty-night gas from his Uncle. "Now, let's wait for her to wake up so we can start today's playdate." The stock children audio played again, while Funnybone and the puppet stared at Stacy.

The white house

In the oval office as Reed Richards was doing paperwork, something change, as one piece of paper left his grasp instead of falling to the the desk as would be normal it instead hung in the air. Time itself had been suspended in the local area and the source had appeared in the middle of the office floating just off the ground looking upon the old man almost dismissively with eyes that held oddly shaped square irises. No alarms had gone off as not even a moment had passed between the two as the the figure continued to look at reed as if taking him apart down to his molecules with only her eyes. It was beyond clear this being was no normal mutant or super powered being.

" So you are Reed Richards" Galacta stated her tone reflecting her expression dismissive and almost disappointed " The great reed Richards known through the universe feared and respected even by the skrulls and kree " She continued clearly expecting someone that wasn't an old man. " I have heard many tales of you but the questions is have you heard of me and do you know why i am here?" She said her tone making it clear this was half question and half order given from one used to commanding others " Do impress me Reed Richards i would hate for the rumors to be untrue about your intellect" She continued all the while time remained frozen and static around the two.

Gwen Stacy
Her eyes flickered open to what sounded like children cheering? No, it took a while for her senses to realign themselves, but when she did she was aware that the children cheering was clearly recorded, fake. As her senses returned, so did her intense smell, and almost immediately her senses honed on blood. Large amounts of it. She could hear heartbeats, vast amounts of them, and smell the sweat and pheromones of what was clearly fear radiating from the crowd gathered somewhere nearby. As well as an elevated heartbeat nearby, an excited heartbeat, a man by the smell. And his blood, so close, so sweet. Her fangs emerged from her gums, but she kept her mouth closed as her eyes finally flickered open.

She was bombarded by several lights, blinding her as she stood up. She was able to make out several men surrounding her, all wearing the costumes of dead presidents, pointing guns at a frightened audience. Some puppet was staring at her, and there was a man, a tall man attached to the puppet, well groomed and good-looking. Her vision suddenly swam.

And she collapsed onto her knees.
“What?? Wha-t do you do to me? W-where am I? Who are you?! Why am I so ..... weak?”
She then noticed the bucket and her eyes widen, connecting two and two together.

"Ixoki!" W'Kabi roared. What Spider-Woman had said about Wakanda really got under his skin. Despite his views on the King and his continued isolationist stance, W'Kabi still held his country and its people in the highest regard. "Wakanda would never fall to you miserable umlungus!"

"Jika!" W'Kabi commanded and Kono turned to face Spider-Woman in response. W'Kabi looked down at the webbing that currently held him and began using his billhook to cut away at it. "Isidenge. I am only half of your current problem or have you already forgotten my friend here. Perhaps it is best if the two of you were reacquainted, hmm?" W'Kabi kicked Kono with his heels.

"Phambili!" He commanded and Kono burst into a charge straight towards Spider-Woman.

The Endrealm, Plain of Gears
Hulk

The relatively large gathering of soldiers shambled through the plains upon closer inspection it would become apparent that these werent your run of the mill soldiers rather they were cybernetic monstrosities trudging forward with carts full of their downed comrades. On one of their other carts Lay the Hulk, still unconscious from the transport, and strapped down with cables.

He had only just came too when a metal hand was placed on his chest. "Worry not infidel, you will soon be freed of you weak flesh based body."no sooner had the words left the machines mouth when hulk began to strain against the cables. "Do not struggle, no flesh can break thos-" the cyborgs eyes widened as its sentence was cut off by the cable snapping and one of hulks beefy hands clasping over both the reamaining cable and the cyborgs arm. With one swift motion hulk took them both tearing them and casting them aside while shouting "HULK FLESH NOT WEAK!" the cyborg didnt have long to contemplate its now missing limb hpwever as the same moment hulk shouted he rolled off of the cart grabbing the side of the cart and swinging it over his body bringing it down on the cyborg who had spoken to him reducing both the cart and the Cyborg into scattered fragments.

Now on his feet the hulk svanned his surroundings smiling menacingly when he realized that he was surrounded compleatly by more drones. They hesitated for a moment as they processed what had just happened, yet hulk did not. His first step was accompanied by a horizontal swing which sent several cyborgs airborne and knocked one down at his feet. The next swing was an over head strike which created a shockwave and seismic activity that could be detected for hundreds of miles. However at this point their hesitation ended amd they began to trudge forward. Many drew ranged weapons and began to fire on the Gamma goliath the closest ones produce a variety of blades. Yet as the energy bolts rained on hulk from all directions he could hear the cyborgs saying "Surrender, we only want to help you overcome your weakness."

More than the lasers, more than the tiny blades, hell more than the confusion as to where he was...those words pissed him off more than all combined. His muscles rippled and his green became slightly deeper and brighter as he shouted at the top of his massive lungs. "HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!!!" he punctuated the shout by slamming both of his hands together in a clap like thunder. The pressure wave that rippled from his hands hit the army like a tsunami bowling over dozens and possibly even hundreds of them in one sitting. It was shortly after this that the computerized brains of his assailents decided this was an insanely one sided conflict and began retreating. Even still the green rage machine continued to shred anything that make the mistake of crossing into his arms reach.

Maria’s eyes widen as a two ton Rhino came charging at her, ever obedient. She quickly and swiftly jumped the side of a building . In truth, she could have stopped the Rhino in its track, even flipped it over, crushing its rider under its weight. But she wasn’t a killer and besides, she loved this Rhino.

“So, sheibgesicht, is your Rhino normally so slow? Or do you forget to feed it? Seems awfully skinny!”

She laughs, adding a bit of fanaticism, just to annoy him. She then threw herself at him, aiming a kick at his torso.

Quicksilver

It didn’t take long before the first huge tremor rocked the ground, nearly disorientating her, then she heard the familiar roar of rage. Hulk. Of course! She sped toward the tremor, and was just close enough to get blasted with a shockwave and into several trees. She shook herself and got back up again. Thank god for her durability. She ran toward the source of the shockwave, and found the jolly green giant amid a army of corpses, shattered and ripped apart in what can only be described an abstract art piece. The rest of the cyborg army was making a hasty retreat, away from the raging green Goliath, those that didn’t get caught in his large meaty hands. The rest were too fast or too unimportant for the Hulk to care about. But stragglers were stragglers and she was an expert on dealing with stragglers. Smirking, she sped toward the retreating cyborgs and riped them apart with either her speed or her strength. She made sure to get everyone she could see.
She then returned to the Hulk. All that done in a matter of seconds.

“Hiya, big guy! See you’ve received a glorious welcome from the locals. And made short work of them, nice! Cap, Tony! I found the Hulk. TChalla if you can hear me, sound off, unless of course you’re busy dealing with the locals! Vision! Are you nearby?”
