[Location: Sanctum-Transit to Hell]

Midnight moved in her shadow form through the sanctum as Cull took his beating. Mephisto had been clear that he was expendable but she would rise through the ranks and take on a full spirit of Sin to increase her power. Not only that but she would be his knight and expand the boundaries of hell to the stars bringing with her hellfire and brimstone to the far away planets that she had visited with Thanos. What a glorious new purpose for her after the mad titan had fallen so low. Finally she had reached the vault down below the sanctum itself and rose from a puddle of shadow on the floor. “Time to go to work.” She produced a signet ring from her belt and put it on, power then flooded her and she cast a spell that the ring had just given her. The door in front of her, heavily spelled as it was groaned as sparks flew and threads of magic became unbound. Within seconds the ring on her hand disintegrated and the door swung open then collapsed with a heavy thunk to the ground. “Better hurry.” The sounds of battle seemed like they had faded upstairs which meant someone probably heard the door crash. She darted inside and started looking through all the metal containers and glass display cases. She remembered that she was told to take a couple of things then grab the Satan’s Tear Ruby. The ruby was a part of a relic that had been broken long ago. It on its own just emanated an aura of hate and contempt but when coupled with the scepter of the abyss it would turn peoples rage and anger up to eleven and allow them to be controlled by the wielder.

Smashing a few cases she grabbed an ancient tome, the front of which had a stylized M on the cover but was bound by a lock on each side but the spine. Quickly she also grabbed a bracelet from a shelf that looked as if it had an eye embedded in it. Then finally she smashed the case with the Tear and grabbed it just as a bolt of energy whizzed by her head. Turning she saw attendants of the sanctum. Preparing more spells. “Time to go!” In her belt she grabbed a small crystal as she dogged to the side behind a large statue of a gargoyle. Pressing the crystal into the air a small tear in the fabric world opened. Spells whizzed in and a few shouted as they ran in but just as they reached where she had gotten to she was jumping through a portal to hell. One brave soul jumped through as it closed.

On the other side Midnight’s smile widened as she drove a blade into the man who had followed her as he turned to get his bearings. Twisting the knife she kicked the man backwards and he fell to the ground dead. Turning she came face to face with Mephisto. “I take it you were successful?” His eyes flared with power and still the yells of the mad titan could be heard.



[Location: Gala Event]

As Oberon was about to say “...a private showing.” his spider-sense went apeshit and just as he was about to kick Ashlyn’s chair out…she was already moving. Eyes going wide his spider-sense buzzed again and he moved as a shard of glass embedded itself into the table. Hearing Ashlyn barely he nodded to her as she ran, then Theo was there as he got up. “No worries Theo. I am going to make for the back and test out my new invention. Go!” He broke from Theo in the confusion, giving a look back slightly slipped into a back door into a service hallway where no one was. “Alright time to see if this thing works…two inventions in one night.” From his suit jacket he produced a vial and a syringe gun. Loading it quickly it punched through the cap and the liquid glowed pale blue. Quickly again he jabbed the gun into the side of his neck and pressed the trigger. It took seconds and his body felt the chill power rush through his body. His body plumbed as he let out a breath. Then with a swift movement he twisted his watch face and tiny nanites flowed out of it that began to spray a fluid that wove together forming his new suit

Going invisible he moved back through the doors into the chaos. “Time to go to work.” From there he ran and jumped shooting webbing at the ceiling then hung upside down getting spider’s eye view of the chaos. From there he saw the players in this game and sorted the pieces. THWIP THWIP!! Two ninjas pinned against the wall that were about to attack a group of civilians. Then looking up at the skylight he noticed more ninjas. “Nope, don't think so! All the tables are full at this party! How about I put something on ice for you though!” He then flipped up in the air losing his invisibility and willed his slime into his hand and his suit began to expel it towards the skylight as the ninjas jumped in. The slime caught them as they fell and it expanded. As it did it hardened and froze them, halting their momentum then reversing it as the large chunk of ice flew up and lodged itself in the skylight. As Oberon did this he had turned in the air and shot the ground and pulled himself into another ninja with barreling force. Looking around to see who needed help he jumped over to the giant lion thing then onto its back. “Hello there! Want some more help getting these guys to chill out? He laughed at his own pun and crouched on top of the creature.

Marvel: Tales of the Multiverse

In the back if his mind Oberon was cursing himself as he didn't give his last name and she had hers, but he followed it up by taking her hand and lifting it to his lips kissing it in a gentlemanly manner. "Oh no the pleasure is all mine. Honestly you are a refreshing vision as most here are old enough to be my parents or grandparents." He laughed lightly and cursed himself silently again. Then he noticed her body language, slightly moving closer, then her skin was very warm, and was that a slight purr that almost escaped her throat? He was enthralled in the moment and smiled once again before giving a slight turn to the dance floor as they began a slow song. "I ummm...Miss Blackwood, would you do me the honor of a dance and a seat at your table if no one has claimed either beside you?" Extending his hand again with his body slightly turned to the dancefloor his heart sped up so fast that he was sure it would through the musicians' tempo off.



[Location: Outside the Sanctum.]

As luck would have it Lust had come across a building that had been raided or was in the process of being raided rather. The High Order was everywhere it seemed and Lust could bet that they had info on Angel Boy Wonder. As she landed outside of the building a woman had ran out and straight into her. The sudden shock to see a blue demon in front of her was almost enough for the woman to faint it seemed but before she was rendered unconscious Lust probed her mind lightly and found fear and images of an angel...and a demon boy? This night was getting interesting and what luck indeed. Throwing the woman to the side Lust headed inside to see if the angel was still there or if she could dig up an info on why Mephisto actually wanted him. After entering the building it was clear to her that the building would be engulfed. Finding the source of the fire and outstretched her hand absorbing the flames. After she began to rummage through the wreckage finding an intact computer, she then began to use skills she had tucked away that her dad had taught her. Once she was in it was an easy thing to find the files and her eyes widened. Angel boy was for real part angel. Interesting, the family line seemed to have celestial DNA mingled with the human. Seems the angels weren't all celebate or ken dolls as everyone is led to believe. This explained alot, cloning celestial DNA was a huge feat and Mephisto wanted that knowledge. More than likely he wanted to know how to control them. That was another reason for the relic he was trying to obtain she figured. Seems her Master had grand schemes..."I mean all he would need is the horn of Gabriel and..." She trailed off and her eyes widened further. That was his plan! Quickly she got the address of the place she would need to go next to obtain samples which would be far batter than some failed experiment with wings. "Raphael..." She chuckled darkly, should have changed his name to Michael, after all he was smiting down evil. She then got up and threw a fireball that the computer, not caring if the place finally burned or not as she walked out of the facility. Springing up she took off again trying to get a view of the angel. It was but a few minutes till she saw the target. Strangely he was at a door knocking and someone answered. This wasn't right he was supposed to be alone first of all and secondly...shit...she knew where this was and what was about to happen.

Dwarf and Midnight had been taken and tortured till they gave up and Mephisto put them back together again, filling in the cracks of their broken bodies and minds with choice pieces of the spirits of Sin. They were more deadly than at any point they had been with Thanos. Midnight crept above the skylight of the sanctum carrying a tiny Dwarf, then produced a slight claw and cut a hole in the glass. Spells and wards tried to block her entry but they all failed as the Sin of Envy power kicked in. Once the hole was made she placed Dwarf at it. "Now go and make a nice distraction for me so I can get what our Master wants." A tiny growl issued from the creature and he jumped down to the floor making a tiny impact crater into the marble floor. From there Dwarf moved quickly and saw attendants moving about as a man with wings and a demon looking child were taken to separate rooms. A man that seemed to be the head of this place went into both rooms and finally exited going off to do Hell knew what. Dwarf moved then and ran into a room that seemed to be a memorial for the late Dr. Strange. Suddenly Dwarf was filled with memories of that prick of a sorcerer and rage grew in him and as it did so did his form. He grew so large he barely fit in the room. Letting out a bellowing roar he hefted his ax and began swinging. He tore through wood and stone grabbing a hapless attendant and swallowing him whole as he burst through the room his eyes ablaze with fire and brimstone as his anger seethed from him. Wholly unintentional he was creating a great distraction and into the foyer he went. Destroying the stairs then art work and finally a picture above the mantel. It was of the sorcerer and his young apprentice who he had saved and trained. The very man who was about to find that his home had become the aftermath of a warzone.

Midnight heard the screams and the explosion of wood and metal next as Dwarf took action to make the distraction. She then melted into shadow slipping in the sanctum herself hiding as long as her ability would let her while the people of the house would surely be about to chase after Dwarf.

Lust knew her luck couldn't last as she watched the angel go inside the sanctum. She swore heavily and noticed on the roof cloaked in shadows that Midnight and Dwarf were about to make their move. There was literally nothing she could do. She had strict instructions to not interfere with the plan at the sanctum so for now she would have to wait and watch and maybe in the aftermath she could grab the angel. Landing on a roof across the street she dimmed her aura and waited in the cold for what would be her bad luck unfolding.

Marvel: Tales of the Multiverse

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.
