Scars never truly heal. Only wounds heal.

It was those two sentences that convinced Peter Quill to leave behind everything to start a new life with Yondu Udonta. He had nothing left on Earth after his mother died of breast cancer besides his dark blue walkman and bright orange headphones. And he never regretted it. He lived out his dream life as a space pirate traveling across the universe with a pretty cool crew. The Ravagers treated Quill like he was one of their own for a long time. Hell, they even bought him the Milano on his eighteenth birthday as a going away gift. And since that day, Quill managed to build a reputation as the self-proclaimed legendary outlaw "Star-Lord."

Of course, it meant that he got in trouble with the law often. And often enough, it was a losing battle until Yondu came to save his sorry ass. Then, he found the orb. That damn orb. It was supposed to be a simple grab-and-go where he planned on selling it; however, it only bought him trouble. But if he never had found it, then he won't have met his new family.

Diana Prince came awake in the dark and nearly got out of her bed as if she was already in a battle. Then, she realized that she was sleeping in a luxurious hotel room instead of the battlefield. Her dreams felt so real as if she was reliving those moments. But, it became difficult to tell which war she dreamt about. Each of the wars that Diana fought in were almost identical besides its locations and reasons why it began. All of them caused so much suffering and loss regardless of justified cause. She could have listened to her husband and lived a peaceful life after fighting in both world wars.

But, the world needed Wonder Woman.

And for seventy-four years, she started a new battle against the development of nuclear weaponry and the rising military-industrial complex. With help from her husband and the squad, the World Veterans Federation was founded with the goals of promoting world peace and protecting veterans. But it still wasn't enough. The greatest superpowers of the world during the Cold War nearly destroyed the world a few times. She wanted to do something before man did something incredibly stupid like nuking the entire world. However, her husband wanted to live his remaining years in peace and quiet with the woman she loved. So, she did.

Diana's train of thought was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Diana, are you awake?" a familiar voice was heard on the other side.

She got out of her bed and went over to the wardrobe room in order to change into her dress. Today was the day where she planned on giving a speech at the twenty-ninth general assembly of the WVF. Once she was done with the dress, she told the person to come on in while she walked to the bathroom to do clear up a little. Etta Candy, Diana's personal security, walked into the room with a little grin on her face. Despite being the cold hearted badass of the group, she loved to travel around the world principally Paris. "Are you ready for the debrief, madam?" Candy asked Diana while scanning the bedroom.

"Everyone's already here?" Diana asked confusedly while she was picking out the earrings.

"Of course, madam. It is an important day after all." Etta answered with a smile on her face before she straighten up when Diana came out. She looked beautiful as always, she thought with her eyes looking at the dress. She responded with a cough and said, "It looks good."

Before Diana could thank her security chief, she saw that her secretary had been staying there with her arms crossed and a grin on her face. Alana Dominguez was pretty damn good at her job given she was made responsible for most of the administrative work and decisions. Dominguez had served in the US military before going to school and getting her associate's degree a few years ago. Diana saw potential and hired her to be the new secretary. "Told you that dress looked good on you." Dominguez remarked.

"Well, good thing that I listened to you." Diana gave her a light-hearted smile before walking out of the room with Candy and Dominguez following behind. She knew that it was the same procedure year after year with a few minor changes here and there. Until she found that her chief legal officer, Rachel Keast, had the entire conference room to herself. Without any warning, Diana dismissed both Dominguez and Candy before walking into the room. She knew that something serious was going to happen if Keast was in Paris instead of the United States. "It will be only a few." Diana gave a forced smile before closing the door on them.

Then, she turned and looked at Keast trying to find the right words to say.

"Keast, how was Washington?"

"I am afraid that the rumors are true. The United States are looking into forming a committee on you and your activities. Everything you have ever done and said will be under a microscope. Then, they will decide what the best course will be. I am truly sorry, Diana." Keast said bluntly towards Diana while looking at her eyes with a serious expression. She had been looking rumors that the United States were planning something like this ever since the rise of superheroes. "Mankind is scared right now and what they need is-"

"A scapegoat." Diana finished the sentence. She was clearly disappointed with the news after all she did for man and they repaid her by doing this. "How long do we have until they want my presence?"

"It could be weeks or months before it's requested. But, an announcement of the committee's formation will happen on Friday. And they will start work on the following Monday. Other than that, we are in the dark." Keast answered the question and got up from her seat to comfort Diana. She wanted the rumors to be false so that Wonder Woman didn't have to deal with this attempt to deface her name. Everything that she had ever done could be ruined depending on the outcome. Even WVF was at risk.

Keast placed a hand on Diana's shoulder and insisted, "My legal team and I will defend your name against the committee."

"Thank you." Diana smiled but still had doubts about a good outcome of the committee.

Reports emerged of a young Greek woman who survived No Man's Land in order to save the French village of Nauroy from German assault. A local photographer managed to take a photo of her along with the men that accompanied her during the battle, but he didn't have time to write down their names. As for the photograph, it appeared on Le Temps along with eyewitness accounts from the soldiers and civilians that saw them in action. And when they were spotted again in Belgium, the woman was seen flipping over a German armored car and beating solders with ease while saving civilians. Shortly after the event, the press dubbed her Wonder Woman and her group of men, Wonder Men.


𝟏𝟗𝟏𝟖
The Great War ended with the Allies declaring victory over the Central Powers. Wonder Woman and her Wonder Men gave their first official interview to the British press. It was when they learned about Steve Trevor was an American sailor that he found her on a wooden boat in the Mediterranean. However, little was know of Diana Prince since her birth records were nowhere to be found in the United States or Britain. It was also around the time when she learned about the Women's suffrage all over the world. She took her first political stance and sided with the suffragists. Both Steve and Diana left for America shortly after the interview.

When the Second World War was coming to an end in Europe, news of Captain America's disappearance somewhere in North Atlantic Ocean. She searched for nearly a week until the Allies ordered her presence in Asia. It was when she heard reports about a possible invasion of Japan until she saw something horrifying. Hiroshima was hit by a bomb that the world had never seen before in her time on Man's World. She tried to reach towards the city when she heard reports that Nagasaki was also hit by the same kind of bomb. When she arrived at Hiroshima, Diana couldn't believe what she was seeing with her eyes.

Wonder Woman returned to the states and immediately denounced the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Of course, it was met with criticism especially from American government and citizens. The Wonder Men were disbanded shortly after the war in response. Meanwhile, the Justice League of America announced that they won't accept Wonder Woman as a member. Both Diana and Steve left from Europe in hopes of starting a peaceful life.

Five years after the Second World War ended, World Veterans Federation was founded by Diana Prince, Steve Trevor and his Wonder Men. WVF aimed to defend veterans and victims of war and their families while promoting world peace and disarmament of nuclear weapons.

"'You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.'

This quote from Kosovar highlights the message of the twenty-ninth General Assembly, which we are opening in Paris. It is the sixty-ninth anniversary of our World Veterans Federation, seventy-four years since the end of World War II, and one hundred-one years since the end of the Great War. The WVF would like to thank Sabrina Philidor, the Secretary of State of Veterans, for being the guest of honour of the assembly. Her presence shows that she's committed to not only French veterans, but veterans all over the world. We are also committed to helping out to ensure that those veterans are able to return to civilian life.

And our presence is felt on all five continents, in ninety-six countries, because unfortunately regional conflicts are generating more veterans, which the WVF welcomes with open arms in accords to our promise.

It is important more than ever to remind the international community to promote peace and international security while standing up for those caught in between any sort of conflict. Remind them that war is the last resort that cannot be undone and will affect everybody besides their rival. And never let them forget that the World Veterans Federation will always uphold our goals of promoting social justice issues and protecting the well-being of veterans and victims of war worldwide.

I wish all of you a good time during the assembly. I thank you."


The room erupted in applause when Wonder Woman was finished giving her opening speech for the General Assembly. She had been giving the nearly identical speech (with a few minor changes) for twenty-nine General Assembles over sixty-nine years. The crowd of delegates kept on applauding while she was leaving the stage and the massive conference room. Diana learned that it was better if she reminded in the background while giving the spotlight to the men and women during the assembly. Even with the recent surge of heroes, the world still needed Wonder Woman. Suddenly, she heard her name being called out and saw Philidor approaching her knowing she had something to say.

"I just want to thank you for making sure that the WVF held a general assembly here. It means so much to veterans all over France. I hope that you have time to make it for the ending ceremony." Philidor said sincerely towards Wonder Woman.

"Of course, I will try to be there, madam secretary." Wonder Woman tried to make her way out of the room until she heard Philidor calling her name but with a notepad and pen on hand.

"I am sorry for asking, but my daughter will kill me if I didn't ask."

Wonder Woman smiled, picked up the pen, and started signing her name on the notepad. "I understand completely. You won't believe how many people ask for a selfie or an autograph. The best of luck to you and your daughter, secretary."

Once she was able to leave the room, Diana saw that Etta was on her phone with her niece who was looking for a place to live in Georgetown. She was talking about finding an affordable apartment while attending Georgetown University. And Etta mentioned about living in her childhood home while she was away from work. Of course, it led to some sort of disagreement that caused her to roll her eyes. Diana watched the whole thing unfold and saw her bodyguard's eyes widening in surprise. She interrupted her niece and said, "I have to go. We will talk later."

"You didn't have to end your call so quickly, Candy."

"Work comes first, Diana." Etta responded and then handed her tablet to Diana before she could say anything. "Besides, you have more important matters to attend."

Diana grabbed the tablet and saw reports that the master thieves, Andre Le Blanc and Angelo Bend, had engaged with the authorities in nearby. So far, they managed to kill four officers while robbing four different banks across Paris. According to the live news, both criminals, were last seen driving the getaway vehicle out of the city. Wonder Woman was familiar with Angle Man after a two year long robbing spree in the early 2000s across Northern Italy. His device, the Angler, allowed him to teleport short distances and alter reality with a thought. He was finally caught with Wonder Woman's help after she managed to secure the device and used it to teleport him into a cell. Andre Le Blanc, on the other hand, was a master thief with no special abilities or tools. She never met him in person, but heard stories of his handy work across France.

She handed the tablet back to Etta and responded, "I never expected for the two of them to be working together."

"Perhaps its a one time thing?"

"Maybe." Diana said before entering the woman's bathroom and one of the stalls in order to change out of the expensive outfit. "Then again, I thought Angle Man's ego would have prevented him working with others beneath him."

Etta checked her phone for any text messages from her niece while Diana was changing outfits. About thirty seconds later, Wonder Woman came out of the stall with her dress and heels on hand while she was wearing her ironic armor. Despite wearing that armor for a hundred years, it looked like it was made yesterday with a fresh coat of paint. She looked at Etta and handed her the dress and heels while saying in jest, "Be careful with that or it will cost you a fortune."

"I will, madam." Etta responded and watched as Wonder Woman left the restroom to do her job.

Velinsky, Trasnia
Present Day

Issue #2.04
𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡

Inside the old room within the Old Fox Pub, Wonder Woman was caught off guard by Aladdin's sudden appearance. She didn't know who the man was but knew that he was trouble. Her sword was still pointed at him and ready to strike if he responded with conflict. Yet, it didn't bother Aladdin at all and went towards the empty Iron Man suit.

"Isn't it impressive?" Aladdin asked Diana while he rubbed the metal shoulder.

"Where is the person inside the suit?" Wonder Woman dodged his question and asked her own towards the man.

"There never was anyone in the suit. A simple levitation spell kept it afloat before it was hit by the missile. Of course, the hardest part was making the iron suit look precisely like the real one. It won't last a single day out in combat, but it will get you first place in a costume contest." Aladdin explained and then processed to grab the mask piece. "It took weeks to make it look convincing enough. I guess it worked perfectly. However, I am here to see you."

"Why?"

Aladdin put the mask piece back into place and responded, "Because you are an essential piece of my plan. Your ruthless methods of killing the enemy never genuinely changed with the times. Almost everything about you changed except for that. While you may think and even defend your actions, the world will judge you until you are forgotten and replaced by the new generation of heroes. Speaking of which, let's see how the world is reacting to the footage of your brutality."

Aladdin shook his right hand for a few seconds until a remote appeared out of nowhere. Wonder Woman knew she was dealing with a different type of magic that she never saw before. She started to question it until the monitors began to show newscasters throughout the world. Each one of them talked about leaked footage, received from an anonymous source, of Wonder Woman excessively killing Trasnian rebels. One of the news channels, GCN, warned viewers of the graphic content before showing some of the footages. Meanwhile, news anchors from the BBC told their viewers that the footages were too explicit to display even when it was heavily censored.

Diana stood bewildered while the screens kept on playing. Aladdin grinned delightfully at the sight of a confused Wonder Woman. Before she could say anything, he walked towards and explained that he leaked the footage to the media. Then, he turned the remote into a cell phone and began browsing Twitter.

Glancing down at his phone, Aladdin began to mock Diana before looking towards her.

"Well," He began, his tone full of taunt as he spoke, "At least you're trending worldwide."

Diana looked at Aladdin's smug smile and immediately felt hatred towards him. She knew that Aladdin understood how releasing the footage was going to be used by her opponents like Senator Swanwick and Veronica Cale. In response to the mockery, Diana spat at Aladdin and snarled, "You bastard!"

"Being one is my specialty." Aladdin responded with a wink, but his time with Wonder Woman was over. For now. "Unfortunately, I have places to be and friends to meet up. I know that I will see you soon. Until we meet again, I wish you well during these troubled times."

With a snap of his fingers, the several television screens vanished as Aladdin walked out of the room. Wonder Woman tried to give chase and capture him for good; however, a familiar face was waiting for her. Doctor Poison sprayed Wonder Woman with some gas designed to slow her down for a few minutes. The effects were almost immediate and Diana felt weak before collapsing to the ground.

"That gas will prevent you from chasing us for a few minutes. But regrettably, you will be fine." Doctor Poison said coldly towards Wonder Woman before escorting Aladdin out of the pub. She was unable to move and felt severely defeated for the first time in a long time. There was nothing she could do to make everything normal again. Then, she realized that her reputation was tarnished forever due to her reckless disregard of her actions. That was when she started to cry out loud.

Diana stopped crying once she realized that she could move again and headed outside. Petrovich and his men were able to escape with all of their equipment without any resistance. She stared at the ground in shame until she heard vehicles nearby. It was when she knew that Etta was looking for her to talk about the footage. And it brought up thoughts about her friends' reactions to her brutality. She froze in place while she listened to the vehicles stopping and their engines shutting off. Diana knew that she wasn't ready to deal with her friends. Not yet. When she heard a car door opening, Diana already made her choice.

Etta left the car and headed toward Wonder Woman while fully aware of the footage. But, she wanted to hear her boss' side of the story. However, Wonder Woman flew away without hesitation and headed west. Etta tried to call out her name, but it didn't stop her. Meanwhile, Diana started to cry again as she flew towards the place that she considered safe. The place where she lived the best moments of her life with her lover.

Home.

“…That is why we are here today. To give them answers on the important topics of vigilantes, superheroes, and metahumans. And Wonder Woman is key to finding the answers for the government. She is known as the world’s first vigilant and superhero with superhuman powers that nobody ever saw before 1916. Nowadays, there are hundreds of enhanced humans with different powers who are using them for good or evil. Captain America, Liberty Belle, Union Jack, and countless other brave souls that risked their lives to secure a better future are the perfect examples of heroes. On the other hand, you have plenty of criminals and scum that I will never name since their acts of terror are unforgivable.

That is one of the many reasons why we are here today. To ask if her presence to the entire world ultimately causes harm more than peace. This world is entering a new era of heroes and villainy that we haven't dealt with before in our lives. And we have to plan ahead instead of waiting until something terrifying to happen. It is why me and my fellow Senators have come together to create a committee to ask and answer the important questions ranging from the concept of vigilante to secret identities of enhanced humans. Wonder Woman will have to answer for her actions across a century. And afterwards, we will decide what's the best course to deal with other metahumans.

We have asked several witnesses to testify in the first weeks of the committee while we do our own research into Wonder Woman. Our work will begin now while testimonies will start on Monday. However, we do have a message from Wonder Woman. You have done so much good for our world during a century that we are thankful, but we need to know what you stand for. Be prepared to visit the Capitol to answer our questions. Thank you everyone."



But when we request your presence in the Capitol, and we will call you,

urgent you to come to the hill of the people to see and hear those that suffered. How far will you take your powers? And do you act on our will or by your own? Thank you everyone."

in the foreseeable future

"I'll not rest until there's justice for him."

Cole Pierce joined the military after his parents kicked him out at the age of eighteen. He was considered to be great among the rookies during boot camp. His superiors took note of his potential and enrolled him as a test subject in a classified medical experiment. There were rumors that the military was attempting to recreate the original super soldier serum while others said it was something completely different. Regardless, Pierce survived the experiment and became an important intel operator for several years. Then, he fell in love. Another man managed to get his attention and it caused him to retire for his previous life. Before he could leave for good, he had to do one final favor for the government: a hacking job.

It was a simple task and the government upheld their promise. Pierce was able to move forward with his life in the hope of starting a family. That was until a drive-by shooting in board daylight shattered that future. Pierce survived the attack while his lover died in the ambulance. He wanted payback. So with help from an old friend and using his hacker skills, that was when he saw the shooter. He was working with as hired hitman from several crime families in the area. With the determination to get revenge, Cole left the hospital and headed towards the murder's hangout.

Marius Faro stood 5' 10" and weighed around one hundred fifty pounds with a muscular frame. He maintained a healthy body and often worked out despite his prosthetic leg. Whenever he wore his armor, the prosthetic leg never stood out and often mistaken as a real leg. In casual wear, on the other hand, it stood out even though he wore jewelry all over his arms. Faro kept his hair at medium length because of his time in the military. And if jewelry and a prosthetic leg wasn't enough, he also had several tattoos all over his body including an arm tattoo.

B A C K G R O U N D

Marius Faro was born in Mars' first settlement, Lowell City, a year after the discovery of the Martian Ruins. Both of his parents were scientists that took part in the exploitation of the ruins for remaining technologies. Six months after Marius' birth, his parents' contract with the Systems Alliance wasn't renewed, and they moved to America as a result. His mother, Alyssa, became a recruiter for the Alliance's science department to provide a better life for her only child. On the other hand, his father remained an independent scientist and accepted a contract to study the newly discovered Charon Relay. While they were working to reactive it, the turians attacked and destroyed nearly the entire fleet.

Marius and his mother learned about Franco's fate when a lone starship returned. Heartbroken and angry, Alyssa developed a hatred of turians and wanted them to pay for murdering her husband. Her resentment grew worse when Shanxi fell. Now, she and plenty of people were ready and willing to support an interplanetary war. Unfortunately for them, the Citadel Council stepped in between and forged peace before war truly begun. The council's intervention changed Alyssa forever. She found comfort with Terra Firma, a growing anti-alien political party, and eventually rose to become one of its key speakers.

Meanwhile, Marius struggled without his father during middle and high school. His mother didn't help much other than taking him to one of Terra Firma's rallies. Instead, he tried to find comfort by seeking answers to his father's death. That was when he learned that humans unknowingly violated one of the Council laws by reactivating the relay. It helped him understand why the turians attacked, but it didn't bring him comfort about his father's death. Things only got worse once high school began.

Many of his peers were bothered with the fact that his mother was part of Terra Firma and considered Marius to have the same beliefs. Some students defended him because they had parents in the same political party and openly xenophobe. But, there were those willing to know Marius including Arrutis Isaraka, a turian that transferred because his father was an instructor for the Alliance. The two formed a friendship at the end of freshman year; however, Marius kept it a secret to his mother. While their friendship kept on growing, his relationship with his mother started to sour.

Eventually, both of them realized that they had feelings for each other and secretly started dating. Marius feared what would happen to Arrutis if his mother found out about their relationship. Meanwhile, more of his peers began to realize that he was different from his mother; but, it still wasn't enough. Marius felt like he wanted to prove everyone wrong and decided to plan something in his senior year. The plan was for Marius and Arrutis to attend Alyssa's rally on the ninth anniversary of the First Contact War to humiliate her.

Of course, the plan was being followed until Arrutis kissed Marius. Alyssa was caught off guard and felt stunned and embarrassed that her son liked the kiss. If that wasn't enough, it happened on the anniversary of Franco's death. Then, a picture of Arrutis kissing Marius went viral on the extranet. It was such a big scandal that Terra Firma denounced Alyssa and discredited her as a member. She never forgave Marius and felt like he dishonored his father for dating his "murders." When he turned eighteen and graduated, Alyssa kicked her son out and told him never to see her again. He initially tried to stay with Arrutis at his parent's place; however, they planned on returning to Palaven and forced them to end the relationship.

With nowhere else to go, Marius went to an Alliance recruiter to join. He got basic training before being placed in a division apart of the Alliance Engineering Corp. His division was responsible for maintaining defenses of colonies located in the Skyllian Verge against pirates and slavers. Whenever he was on military leave, he attended college in Elysium to get a degree in electrical engineering. Thankfully, Marius wasn't on Elysium when it came under attack during the Skyllian Blitz. That attack made him hate pirates and felt like he had to fight back. When he heard of the upcoming battle on Torfan, he requested transform to the 103rd Marine Division. The chain of command approved the transform, and Yanagita left shortly after.

The Battle of Torfan was a bloodbath for the Alliance while a massacre for the pirates on the moon. Hundreds of Alliance soldiers were killed during the push towards the base. Thousands more were wounded, including Marius, who had shrapnel in his legs due to an explosion. It was his first serious injury that he ever got, but he never regretted the decision to join the Marine Division. However, it was a wakeup call. When Marius got his degree, he decided to retire from the Alliance and left for the Citadel. But, civilian life was difficult for him to get back into.

The Citadel was too peaceful for a military man, like Marius, to spend his remaining life. He also didn't have many friends in the Citadel until he met Sertius Quintis. Quintis was a C-Sec officer that met with Yanagita during his break. Both Quintis and Marius were military men who recently retired from the military and went to the Citadel for comfort. Instead, Quintis joined C-Sec to keep himself busy. After some convincing, Marius applied to the C-Sec's Network Division. It wasn't as fun as being part of the Patrol Division, but he knew that his skill would be best suited to deal with E-Crimes.

For seven months, he did his job for the Network Division to the best of his abilities without question. His superiors were impressed with Marius and gave him pay raises. And Quintis became a great friend to Marius. Life was comfortable enough for Marius until he found himself in danger. Members of a powerful Citadel gang found out where Marius lived and planned on killing him. Fortunately, C-Sec arrived at the scene and saved Marius before he was killed. He was taken to the nearest hospital where doctors managed to save his life, but at the cost of his left leg.

After recovering and getting the prosthetic leg, Marius was honorably discharged from C-Sec and forced into another early retirement. He immediately grew bored and announced the decision of leaving the Citadel for Omega to become a mercenary. Marius tried to ask Quintis if he wanted to come with him because he had feelings for him. However, Quintis tried to convince Marius not to become a mercenary because he thought it would have violated everything he has done.

Marius left the Citadel behind shortly after.

For four months, Marius took on a few jobs in Omega while using several aliases and gained a decent reputation for getting the job done despite leaving behind a mess. And whenever he wasn't working, Marius was doing drugs and hooking up with strangers. It got to the point where it became his daily route. Then, he heard that the captain aboard the Achilles was looking for hired help. Marius accepted the offer in the hopes of breaking his pattern by leaving Omega. And of course, he wanted to be paid a lot of credits.

S K I L L S

Marius was a trained Alliance engineer with years of experience under his belt. While in the army, he earned his engineering degree on Elysium and found himself in C-Sec's Network Division. He taught himself how to use both a shotgun and sniper rifle. With the sniper rifle, Marius was an excellent marksman capable of hitting targets far away. Yet, he carried a shotgun and a pistol whenever he was on the front lines. For his skills as an engineer, he knows how to repair, restore, and build several things if you give the space and the tools required. His specialty is weapons, armors, prosthetics, and augmentations; but, he does know a few things about fixing ships. Unfortunately, he was a terrible hacker compared to other engineers in the Alliance. It was one of the reasons why the Alliance moved him to the front lines rather than with the other engineers.

Besides combat, Marius found interest in history and took several courses on the subject while in college. Sketching was a hobby that Marius hid from everyone since his childhood. He tried to open up to Quintis, but he was focused on work than having hobbies.

Drugs
During the first few months as a mercenary, Marius' anxiety and fears started to overwhelm him until he found comfort in drugs. At first, the classic marijuana helped him calm down. Then, he fell in love with party drugs like Hallex; yet, he stayed far away from red sand. And finally, alcohol was something that he rarely drank and only did it socially. Marius didn't do drugs whenever he accepted work or his skills as an engineer were required. He viewed them as his source of comfort instead of sharing thoughts and feelings with therapists.

Hookups
Marius' other significant guilty pleasure was one-night stands. Typically, it happened once he finished with work and only did it with men. He either went to their place or invited them over to his small apartment unit. Just like drugs, he found some comfort with them even if it was meaningless; however, it didn't mean he wanted a relationship. Now that Marius was going to be aboard a ship with other people, he knew that these hookups weren't going to be acceptable. It was when he made a vow to limiting and even stopping hookups, but it wasn't going to be easy.

H A U N T

Observation Deck
Even know the Achilles was a small vessel, it had a small observation deck perfect for Marius. The window had a large shutter, which was made out of the same material as the ship, capable of withstanding blasts towards it. Besides the window, there was a round table with comfortable chairs and a large flat screen television. Initially, it was supposed to provide relaxation and relief for crewmembers until Marius arrived. Whenever he was on board, Marius spent his time on the extranet, sketching, tinkering with his leg, or smoking something. However, if someone wanted time alone in the deck or joined him, he respected their request and left towards a different part of the ship. As for the workshop, there wasn't much of Marius' stuff besides a small cactus to lighten up the room.

D R I V E

Marius lost the only family member that he had left because of hatred. He lost the two people that he had ever fallen in love with due to circumstances. The things that kept him going through life were drugs, sex, and combat. Being a part of the Alliance gave him the adrenaline rush that helped him through a rough part of his life. Even being part of Torfan was one of the most exciting moments in his life despite how deadly it was. He attempted retirement at the Citadel but realized that he missed that rush. C-Sec didn't satisfy him at all. It wasn't until he became a mercenary that the rush came back to him. Drugs and having one-night stands helped him contain that need.

But, Marius knew that those things weren't healthy at all. He was afraid of his past coming back to haunt him, fearful of being unable to achieve everlasting love, and petrified of being lost forever. And he thought that it was irreparable.

Washington, D.C.
Present Day

Issue #3.03
𝗪𝗢𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡

Arriving at the hotel near Capitol Hill, Diana exited out of Rogers' car and waved goodbye while it drove off. She wished him luck on his mission and headed towards the hotel. Once inside the lobby, Diana checked into a room and quickly headed towards an elevator. She wanted to remain unnoticed, but it was hard for her to hide from the world. Especially with her being on the news for the past couple of days.

While on the elevator, Diana pulled out her phone and saw that Candy responded to her apology. Even know it was short, Diana didn't want to make excuses for leaving her friend behind in Transia and not answering her calls. She noticed that her phone started to ring and it was Candy calling. Diana answered the call and greeted her with a warm 'hello.'

"I forgive you, Diana. I understand why you decided to run. Just know that you have friends that can help you next time." Candy

"I will remember."

"Good." Candy said. "Anyways, are you sure that you can handle the committee? Keast can help you out."

"I am grateful for her offer, but I have to do this on my own. I need to stand up for myself and my actions."

"Alright, then. Have a good night, Diana. Don't forget that we will be supporting you tomorrow."

"You too, Etta. Tell the others to have a good day." Diana hung up and put her phone away for the night.

188 feet 2040 tons
A T L A N T I C O C E A N


APPEARANCE, PERSONALITY, & ABILITIES

Bearing a resemblance to a crustacean, Scordoru was considered one of the smallest monsters in the world. Yet, it was still a threat if it ever escaped with its thick claws. According to researchers and experts, those claws were capable of crushing over 50,000 pounds per square inch. It also possesses a high crest above a large, symmetrical head that can withstand close range attacks and explosives. And there were toxic spiked barbs lining its plating giving him some sort of protection against its predators. The same researchers also noted that Scordoru might have been hostile to humans; however, they never found the reason behind its behavior.

WEAKNESSES

Scordoru's neck, underbelly, and ligaments were unprotected by its tough plating. And of course, it was smaller and weaker than the other monsters. Humanity was expected to be defenseless and valuable to the creature; however, a bigger and stronger monster was expected to win. But, Scordoru wasn't going to give up without a fight.

HISTORY

Based on Terra's findings and years of studying, Scordoru originated from East Asia before moving west towards the Americas. It spent years moving around across the ocean until it stopped moving near North America. None of the researchers knew why it suddenly stopped moving and decided to rest. Some theorized that it actually passed out due to exhaustion while others said something else beaten Scordoru in close combat. Regardless, Terra built Outpost 20 to contain the creature in the hopes that it never escaped.

220 feet 3500 tons
S A N A N T O N I O M O U N T A I N


APPEARANCE, PERSONALITY, & ABILITIES

Cinros looked like a huge sea monster with its long tail and its slender legs. The legs ended in multi-fingered hands which were recently discovered to bend backward. Its skin was a light gray with dark speckles across its body. There were two esophagi that extended from the monster's lower chest and ended in tooth-like projections. And its head had two eyes with massive pupils and a pair of membranous sacks on the sides that inflated and receded back. Despite its appearance, Cinros was thought to be durable to conventional weaponry and possibly other monsters. Studies found that its tail was strong enough to destroy 50,000 pounds per square inch and capable of destroying the nearby populated areas. Researchers believed that Cinros was aggressive to everything.

WEAKNESSES

However, it was possible that it could start running away if it was heavily pressured. With enough airstrikes, it was expected that Cinros will try to escape. That was when someone or something could deliver a killing blow to it. Yet, experts estimated that Cinros was able to destroy the entire Los Angeles County with ease. And its aggressive behavior meant that other monsters were its target. That type of behavior was going to bring it trouble since Cinros didn't understand the concept of an alliance.

HISTORY

Based on Terra's findings and years of studying, Cinros origined from the Pacific Ocean before heading towards land. It eventually found present-day California and made Mt. San Antonio it's home. Researchers believed that it was a mother and had several children; but, Cinros was the only one inside that mountain. The current theory was that it lost its children centuries ago because of unknown reasons. And as a result, Cinros went back to her home and began coping by entering habilitation.

Recently, Terra was worried that Cinros was started to wake up for its slumber. And they were right.

"What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark?
It would be like sleep without dreams." — Werner Herzog



"June 17th, 2021. We were doing the routine checkup on Scordoru when everyone on the outpost felt the earthquake. At first, we thought that it was just the creature moving in its sleep until the shaking lasted longer than ten seconds. The outpost began an emergency checking on Scordoru in the worst case that the insignificant earthquake woke it up. So far, it didn't appear to and thanked heaven for that. I don't think that this outpost is strong enough to handle it. And who was the genius to build one in the middle of an ocean? They must have been stupid to..."

"Foster, I saw it moved!"

Foster sighed and turned to James, the new guy to the research team. "James, I told you that it moves in its-"

"It isn't just moving its body." James interrupted Foster and dragged her to the large window. "Look!"

Scordoru's right claw started to move around as if it was trying to stand up. For the first time in years of being at Outpost Twenty, Foster was afraid and immediately ran to her station. She went to check its pulse and saw it move slowly to make sure it was awakened. That was when she activated the Containment protocol, which released a series of restraints designed to prevent Scordoru from moving at all. The monster became enraged and began breaking out of them. Now, its left claw was moving around and managed to break free from one of the restraints. That was when Foster knew that the protocol failed.

Even known she and Outpost Twenty failed to restrain Scordoru, Foster hesitated for a moment before pressing the big red button. She got up from her station and headed towards James, who was still watching Scordoru waking up for its long slumber. Both of them thought that it was somewhat elegant to see an ancient creature waking up from the first time in centuries. Then, he turned to Foster and pondered his question, thinking that it was foolish to ask. She saw that he was conflicted about talking, but Foster told him to speak his mind.

"When do you think help's coming?"

Foster originally was going to say nothing but she felt that it would have been wrong to say nothing. "Soon." she lied to James and kept watching the creature. It was the last thing that both of them will ever see. The control room blew up alone with Scordoru's lair in the slightest hope that either the explosion or debris would have killed it. Unfortunately, Scordoru rose up from the wreckage and tore off its remaining restraints. Now, it was furious.

Meanwhile, the workers of Outpost Twenty were in panic mode as they were getting ready to escape. TERRA containment forces were preparing to fight against the monster. However, all of them were caught off guard when one of Scordoru's claws tore open the platform. It started to shake the platform, which caused some people at the top to overboard. The containment forces weren't enough to defeat the creature as its claws crushed them. And soon enough, it quickly ripped apart the platform and picked off remaining survivors. Now, it needed to find land.


𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗥𝗢𝗦
“Nature does not reveal all her secrets at once. We imagine we are initiated in her mysteries:
we are, as yet, but hanging around her outer courts.” — Seneca the Younger



Outpost Eleven was one of the few outposts that were built so close to civilization, but it was necessary to prevent Cinros from waking up. With that risk factor, TERRA made sure that everything was running smoothly at the outpost by increasing security and getting the latest technology. It cost them a fortune, but the investment was worth it. When the other outposts quickly fell apart, Outpost Eleven was still standing strong. It never lost power because it had its separate mini power grid to preserve any systems. But, the earthquake woke Cinros up.

The creature was unable to escape due to the restraints placed on his legs. As it tried to get out, containment forces arrived at the site and quickly set up for an assault. They had rocket launchers, grenade launchers, and plenty of explosives and rifles. Their orders were to slow down Cinros with enough firepower to weaken it before killing it with the self-destruct. The soldiers got into position and waited to fire as the protector shutter was slowly opening. When the creature turned to look at the soldiers, they started opening fire at it and caused it to roar out in pain. It tried to block the incoming rounds, but it wasn't fast enough. The soldiers thought that they had already won.

Until Cinros yanked one of its restraint towards the missiles and saw it destroyed. With that one restraint gone, the monster started to break out of the others. The soldiers attempted to retreat, but they were crushed by one of Cinros' long legs. That was when the outpost issued an evacuation alert to the remaining staff; however, it was collapsing around them. Debris blocked one of the exits and left dozens of workers to be caved in as Cinros rose up. It had enough room to move freely and it decided to investigate the surface. It kept rising until it hit a roadblock in the form of Mt. San Antonio. Yet, it made enough room to carve through the mountain.

It was going to be a while before Cinros was able to escape; but, it was determined to not give up.
