THE WATCHER::

A long time ago there were many time lines and many universes. Far in the future on many of these timelines a man brought the multiverse together until fear set in and that same man merged the timelines together eliminating all possibility and probability.  Now thanks to a Loki the timelines have been restored to the possibility for anything probable. One of the timelines that ended has started again. Altered slightly but it is almost on the same track unlike the multitude of other timelines. 

On this earth the battle and endgame went very differently. Before Tony could get the stones onto his gauntlet, Thanos managed to use their power with enough effectiveness to kill a few heroes. Sadly on this day most of the Avengers died. Killed in action: Thor King of Asgard, T'Challa King of Wakanda (AKA Black Panther), Dr. Steven Strange (AKA Dr. Strange Sorcerer Supreme), Natasha Romanov (AKA Black Widow), and Vision. Though not all died, some after the battle disappeared: Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner/Hulk, Wasp, Hank Pym, and Ant-Man. This one holds heroes that hold great potential and purpose. Their story begins one year after The Infinity War on Earth 569. As their world kept turning so did their stories: A man named Oberon took over Stark Enterprises with his company, Dark Star Industries; A group called the High Order had created a genetic angel; two women survived attacks on their family gaining powers that altered their lives, one has lived centuries and the other changes her form into any of the animal kingdom; two aliens are now stuck on earth following the battle. Many others have had their lives altered, some for the better and some for the worse. So let us see where their stories take us as a very special event and an unfortunate event happen on the same snowy night.  



[Location: 7th Circle of Hell.]

The old man stood over the pit watching the fires and reveling in the screams of torment. Both hands, palm down on his cane he raised it and thumped it twice on the brimstone at his feet. As he did, a portal opened and out stepped a blue succubus. “Yes, Lord Mephisto?” She was met with silence as the old man or rather Lord Mephisto serving King of Hell took a deep breath and turned to meet her eyes. Quickly she went to one knee and trembled. “Forgive me my Lord.” Narrowing his eyes he took his cane in one hand and placed the end of it at her chin before raising it. 

“That is better my dear Lust. It seems all the souls have not been returned to their rightful place. That idiot Tony Stark must have wished for more than just the people and souls taken to be back in their rightful places. We have souls that belong in hell back above. Not that I mind the extra havoc they could cause but…” His eyes began to glow with a red intensity. “...I WANT MY SOULS BACK!!” With that a defiant roar turned tortured yell came from below and Mephisto turned his head watching the torture of Thanos. “I will torture him for taking my souls in the first place. Funny that since he died on earth that his death bound his soul here. Along with two of his goons.” Mephisto turned back and the smile vanished. “I’ve sent Obsidian and Midnight to the Sanctum to retrieve Satan’s Tear. They are fully under my control and enhanced with the powers of the Sins but only a touch. You and Al will be going to retrieve an interesting specimen for me.” Lust nods and smirks as she gets the description of her target. 


As the scene fades to black you can still hear the tortured yells of the Mad titan and the beginning cackles of Mephisto as his plans start to come to head.


[Location: New York City: Convention center, Animal Conservation fundraising Gala.]


Oberon straightened his bowtie in the small mirror inside the limo as it pulled up to the event. A fundraising gala that was raising money for displaced animals and new species that had come out of hiding when some of their natural predators had become fewer and farther between. Or at least that's what he was told but the receptionist this morning when he was told he received an invitation. Normally he didn’t go to events period but with the acquisition of Stark Enterprises he had more time to himself as the company almost ran itself as long as the board members were happy and they had been more than so after his introduction of his new formula that would make the company millions. A super lubricant for machines that could be used universally and replace oil in all machines currently. As he had become lost in thought his head of security had opened the door and Oberon turned and smiled as he exited into the cold night. What seemed like millions of cameras flashed in his face. Smiling through it he moved forward as people tried to ask him questions but his entourage kept them back. He was essentially the new Stark, though no one could truly replace the man. Everyone wanted a piece of him whether it was time, money, or his body. Women were not a problem to find if he wanted them and as a matter of fact neither were men. That was one trait that he didn’t share with Tony. He wanted more than flings but he wasn’t sure he would ever find that. Finally he reached the door and smiled then waved to everyone as he walked inside out of the cold and crowd. If anyone would have thought about it they would have noticed that Oberon’s breath didn’t plume like theirs. 

Once inside he sent his entourage to access points and then smiled at the patrons of the Gala. The ballroom was littered with tables that had place settings at each. None of them had names it seemed so Oberon opted not to sit but to mingle. Grabbing a fluted glass off a tray that someone carried by him, he put on a brave face and began his mingling. 


[Location: Central Park] 

A portal formed in the snow ladened area then started to melt and sizzle as Lust stepped out followed by Alistar and another demon that was a last minute addition. “You two take the search to the west part of the city and I’ll take the east.” An aura of fire covered her leather covered body as her eyes started to glow with a light pink hue. Her power flooded over the two of them giving them just a touch to their minds as she had said the words. This would ensure they stayed on task hopefully, but she mainly did it to tease Al. She gave them a smirk as she jumped into the air and blasted downward with her flames propelling her into the air as her aura sustained her flight. The hunt was on…time to find an angel.


[Location: Gala fundraiser.]

Oberon had been through almost the whole room, shaking hands, making promises, and asking favors. He was already almost exhausted and he also realised it was getting a little warm. Close to time for his serum, in about an hour he would have to find somewhere quiet with no one around but for now he had one more table to go to. As he smiled and thanked the group turning to the last table only one person sat at it. As he approached a red haired woman in a long green dress rose and turned to him as another woman in a revealing black dress also got up and left the table. The revealing black dress though had nothing on the redhead’s eyes, grey as a storm front. They offset her skin, pale as cream but with a touch of rose petal red across her cheeks. An all natural beauty stared back at him as she blinked in what felt like slow motion. 

As his breath caught in his throat he stammered just a bit. “He..hello miss. I umm…I am Oberon, I don’t believe I've had the pleasure Miss…?” Oberon stuck out his hand to the woman with an award winning smile on his face waiting to find out the name of the vision in front of him.
