Quoted By:

Feeling a little adventurous, you asked the server drone to cook you up something entirely foreign to this planet. It was strikingly similar to the one that assisted you in the elevator, and you were left wondering whether it was the exact same one, or at least the same model. It gave you an affirmative nod, which was really just the robot tilting its entire body up and then down again with a smile on its display.

It probably wouldn’t serve you something that would kill you or give you horrible indigestion. Surely.

“Hey Flint, do you think Reed’s chef might be able to whip you up something that you can actually taste?”

Your buddy leaned over to stare at you from across the table.

“Hey, I’m down for anything so long as it doesn’t turn my mouth to mush. ‘Taste’ is an afterthought at this point, my friend.”

“Fair enough. I’m trying my luck with some alien cuisine. I told my server to surprise me.”

Flint winced in sympathy, and Van took his place as she leaned over to stare at you with her ghost-like eyes.

“What a coincidence. I did the same. This should be an uplifting experience for ‘both’ of us.”

She was probably talking about the “real” Vic. It would be interesting to hear her reaction to eating alien food for the first time after this.

Blackjack laughed mockingly.

“It remains to be seen whether you have the stomach for it, recruit. I look forward to seeing you puke your guts out.”

You turned your attention to the immature captain.

“I hope you’re not this tough on all your new recruits. Don’t expect anyone to be this patient with you.”

Lynx nodded along to your words.

“That’s what I always tell him. He’s big on tough love when it comes to fresh meat.”

“You’re damn right. Fresh meat needs to be properly tenderized until it's nice and chewy and compliant.”

Lynx scoffed.

“If you really believed that, you would’ve never made me your second. What you want is someone who bites back.”

Blackjack made a dismissive sound and waved her off. Van didn’t look bothered in the slightest. If anything, she seemed amused to be surrounded by all these overly excited alien rabbits.

“So, Blackjack, got any exciting tales of your past adventures that you’d like to share?”

You asked.

The rabbit captain’s ears shot up at that. He gave you a wide, manic grin.

“Why, yes. Yes I do. Hey, Lynx, remember that time we accidentally got stuck on Mojoworld?”

Flint gave him a curious look.

“What’s that?”

Seeing as how half of your fellow Desperados/co-captains weren’t here, the decision was a bit easier to make when you floated the suggestion of tackling the Human Torch mission first. Everyone could sense that this task held a measure of extreme importance to your new employer. She wasn’t telling you absolutely everything about the details of her situation, but you didn’t exactly need to know the whole story yet. You needed her help, and she needed yours. That was all that mattered.

When you were all in agreement, Ana presented your decision to Gloria, who nodded gratefully and explained how her two helpers would take you all to the site of Jim Hammond’s last documented location. It was only later on that you discovered it was also the site of a sizable nuclear explosion caused by that very same synthezoid.

—------

The following morning, you got up early, ate some complimentary breakfast, and made your way out of the hotel with your briefcase in hand. Several minutes later, when you were sure that there weren’t any prying eyes in the area, you changed into your Huntsman costume and swung off to meet with the rest of your team at a café that Koa told you about.

Evidently, you were the last to arrive, as the others were already settling in and eating with Araña, Benga and, surprisingly, Koa himself. When he noticed your presence, he gave you a warm smile and a friendly wave.

“Hey, how’s it? You sleep well?” he asked.

Did he know that you were staying at the hotel?

“I slept fine, thanks.” you said, sitting down beside Ana. The café was almost entirely empty, giving you all plenty of room to push the chairs and tables together. You suspected that they rented the place out for the morning. It made it much easier for a group of costumed individuals to meet up when there weren’t any prying eyes around.

Koa nodded absently, not seeming to think too much of your statement. “Then I hope you don’t mind my being here. These two aren’t tall enough to see over the steering wheel yet, so I’ve been assigned as your driver today.” he said, nodding to the kids, which earned him a flat glare from Benga.
Despite being indoors, Araña was still wearing her aviators, so it was a bit hard to see how she genuinely felt about the accurate diss.

“Aren’t you kids a little young to be heading into a radioactive zone in the middle of the Mojave Desert?” Prowler asked,

Araña took a sip of her orange juice with a satisfied grin on her face. “Why, yes. Yes we are.” she responded.

“We’ve got hazmat suits for everyone.” Benga volunteered.

You perked up at the prospect of a new suit, but upon closer investigation, you learned that it was just a normal hazmat suit. Your shoulders slumped and you dejectedly pushed the eggs around your plate with a fork while the others conversed.

“I don’t need one. I’m made of sand.” Flint protested.

Quoted By:

“Is it true that Reed Richards hired you to snatch his suit back for him?” you asked.

“That’s confidential information.” said the biggest one.

“No it isn’t. He made a public announcement about it.” the dark-haired woman retorted.

The large man seemed to frown at her, but you could sense that there wasn’t any real malice behind it.

“We’re flying this guy back to the Baxter Building ASAP.” said another man coming up on your left.

“Where exactly was that again? I swear, I always pass it on my way to work, but I can never remember how to get there.” you said, trying to sound confused as you pretended to scratch your ear. Every time your finger passed over the area, you were quickly clicking your communicator on and off.

Anytime now, pal.

“Try Google Maps. We don’t have time to be giving out directions.” said a less friendly voice in their group. It was one of the guys that was carrying the silver ring into the room.

But before he could get any closer, a sudden and inexplicable sandstorm filled the space in the theater, sending some people to the ground and forcing them to shield their eyes. You watched in awe as a great, cloudy mass wrapped around Max’s limp body and began to lift him into the air.

You could hear the Wild Pack cursing and sputtering behind you as they struggled to regain their bearings.

What will you do?

>Stay right where you are and pretend to be clueless about the entire affair.
>Disappear right alongside Flint. You can’t wait for Max to wake up again.
>Pretend to chase Flint as he escapes with Max.
>Write-in.

Quoted By:

But if there was one thing that you knew for sure, it was that Hill had made a crucial mistake in giving you a direct line. You were SO gonna harass the shit out of her later!

—-------

After a few parting words, you were led towards the airstrip, where you and Flint were loaded onto a tiny, cramped shuttle that flew down and dropped you off on a vacant rooftop. You imagined that you probably wouldn’t be taking any trips back to the Helicarrier anytime soon.

You breathed a sigh of relief, patted the pager in your pocket and started to make your way home. It took a bit longer than usual, since you had to wait for Flint to catch up. He was capable of taking falls from great heights and morphing his body into odd shapes to slip through the city without much difficulty, but he was nowhere near as fast as you were with your webs. You didn’t mind it, though. Just seeing him back out here, getting his miles in, it made you feel a bit better about all of this. You buddy was home free, and better than ever. With both of your powers, no one was gonna be able to stop you from clawing your way to the top. Not even the Acting Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

—----

When you led Flint through the front door, he was warmly greeted by Felicia and Cindy. Prowler hung back and gave him a nod, which was pretty much what you’d come to expect from him.

Flint was pleasantly surprised to see that you had decided to take Cindy under your wing. It was a comfort to see the two of them getting along like they were. You don’t think you’d be able to hold a team together that couldn’t work without you there to mediate for them. After the pleasantries had lost their luster, you pulled your phone out and pulled up the file that Hill had beamed directly to your phone. Thankfully, Prowler had a mini projector that he hooked up to your phone.

With it, you were able to display the files on an unoccupied wall in the warehouse. There were multiple images of the Green Beret, Gobbie, and a whole slew of theories about who they were and where they might have come from. This shield toting brute seemed to pop up out of nowhere, reportedly being inhumanly strong and fast, like a true supersoldier.

Conveniently, the case file also included a number of hideouts that the Goblin had set up over the past few weeks. It was impossible to know whether they were still occupied, but they might be worth taking a look at.

While you reviewed the files, you retold the events of your encounter with Hill to your fellow teammates.

“So she knows everything?” Felicia asked, a look of horror on her face.

You shook your head. “Not everything. But she knows enough.” you said.

“Enough to put you behind bars if you slip up.” Prowler confirmed.

Quoted By:

“Now I’m starting to regret kicking your ass when we first met in that bar.” he said with a sly grin.

“Flint, I know you’re not all that bright, but don’t tell me your memory’s going too. I clearly won that fight.”

“Not on your life! You were still scrawny back then.”

“How’s about a friendly rematch, then?” you said, taking a step closer to him.

Flint took a step back, just as fast. “No thanks. The only fights I’m in the mood to see are the ones happening later tonight.”

“Fair enough. Just let me get changed.”

—---

An hour later, you and Flint were on your way to watch a bunch of supers beat the shit out of each other. There was, of course, betting involved in these matches, and the two of you had more than a little money to throw around tonight. Based on their records, there were a few people that stood out amongst the amateur fighters.

Who were you planning to place your bets on?

>”Huntsman” You're entering the ring!
>”Stick”
>”White Tiger”
>”Tarantula”
>”Walker”
