Chapter 1 Meeting
Time: Never
Place: Over the Rainbow
A blackness filled the sky over a wheat field.
"Ooof!" spoke Tyrone Johnson, as he fell to the ground. "What the hell? I was just about to kick the butt of that bank robber...
"Where am I?" asked a voice behind him. "Cloak? Is that you?" Tyrone turned to see an enormous woman staring back at him. "How did we get here?"
"Who the Hell are you?"
"Cloak? You don't recognize me? I became your girlfriend after Tandy died-"
"Tandy's still alive. And who the Hell are you?"
"Katherine Marko."
"Never heard of you."
"You've never heard of the Juggernaut? Come on!"
"Excuse me, but would someone tell me what is going on here?" came a third voice. Katherine and Tyrone turned to see a man in a stylish old-fashioned jacket, with long pink hair. "I'm so upset, I could scream!" he smirked.
"Ruckus? Is that you?" asked Tyrone.
"Yes. And I suppose that this is your doing?"
"Why? Why would I..."
"Because you knew I was about to uncover your little criminal empire. The one you took over from the Kingpin!"
A big black blotch appeared in the sky and a man fell out. The entire left side of his body other than his face was obviously cybernetic.
"Who are you?" asked Katherine.
The man looked around. "The name's Creed. Graydon Creed. But some of you must already know that, you've met me!"
"You bigot!" roared Ruckus.
"I'm not a bigot, just a vigilante!" shot back Creed.
BAMF! A puff of smoke announced the arrival of another member. This one was a woman, Caucasian, with blue hair that had a white stripe in the center. She wore sunglasses, and a tight leather uniform overlaid with a vest.
Snikt! Claws came out of her hands.
"What the Hell happened here?" she raised a fist at Ruckus.
"I'm as confused as anyone. Who are you?"
The woman looked around, and sighed. "The name is Mongrel."
"What are you?" asked Katherine.
"I am a normal human who has been experimented on."
"And I," said a sixth voice, "am wondering what the Hell is going on here?"
The final member of the party was a blue-skinned woman with hands that consisted of two pairs of opposable fingers. A red glow burned in her eyes.
"The name is Rubique."
Suddenly a strange figure rose up from the ground, amidst the six, who immediately realized that they were standing in a circle. The figure looked like a pudgy man with sideburns, but his eyes were strangely all black, with no visible iris or sclera.
"I am the Timebroker. I brought you here. I'm trying to help you. Events have conspired that could be cataclysmic. And your entire universes depend on doing what I say."
