The Dinner Day and Celebrity Downfall.
Hey everybody, this is a one-shot I've made in celebration to KingFrancisX's Exo War. This is a non-canon story that goes into the reason as why the Secret Avengers needed a new teammate. We will also explore what happened to Mike and Marty and what they are doing in the Mobiant Earth.
Unification. The merge. The coming of the new age. Those were the words Nick Fury, a high positioning leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. heard from many of his men. In a way, they we're all right. However, the spy also knew with this new age, another form of chaos would come. Destruction. Confusion. Terror.
For some people, this new world, Mobiant Earth as he heard some of his men say, was a dream come true. The power to no longer travel through dimension, but to go on foot and see the new sights this planet hd to offer. The landmarks, new friends, and so much more.
Yet it also meant enemies from all worlds could come together and collaborate. Grimm from Remnant died, leaving only the more powerful. Robots were everywhere from the madman Eggman. The worst being that the Exo Stones, some of the most powerful objects in their universes, have been launched who knows where.
"Agent 3, have we any reports on the Exo Stones?" Nick asked someone on the line.
"Yes sir. During the past few days, the Secret Avengers found some of the stones. Dream and Evolution being one of them. Currently though they are resting." Excellent. "However it seems the new Superior Seven have also been discovered finding stones as well. The War Stone is in their possession.
"Huh. I guess it should have been expected." No doubt Doom sent the team to find them for his own purposes. Finding the stones would be much easier had the world not been in chaos. But S.H.I.E.L.D., Atlas, and G.U.N. had duties to help the people. So their forces were spread a little thin about now.
'At least nothing else could go wrong.' Yet the new universe seemed to contradict Nick's own though. Playing what many would call a cruel laugh of fate. Because not even a minute had passed when an alarms sounded off.
"What the-Agent 7, what in blazes is going on?" The reception he got was terrible, with some background noise happening. It sounded like gunfire.
"W-we're having a breakout sir." The agent said with a shake in her tone. Fury tried accessing the cameras only to find them all covered up.
"Who's doing this?"
"I-it's…...Mysterio? Mysterio sir! He broke out!" Again! How was this possible? Fury read the report how Mysterio was spotted stealing some tech, where team JNPR and allies put him down and placed him in a cell. A fortified cell in fact. It made no sense for him to escape considering they put in all the precaution.
Vents to suck up any tricky gas. Enforced metal to handle his suit's strength augumations. A special glass to show what was always happening in the call. Even the aura co-...wait...did they give him an aura collar to inhibit his new power.
A quick check on the file revealed they didn't put one on him. The officers that brought him here were used to regular Mysterio. Not Mysterio plus aura capabilities. In other words…...they screwed up.
"Spider-Man is definitely going to laugh at this." The spy muttered already hearing the annoying laugh from the wall crawler.
Still, that pales compared what Mysterio could do. While his file still stated he was the same easily beaten guy, that was an intentional act by wiping out the records of what Mysterio actually did during his time on Remnant. Only a selected few people including him and others knew what Mysterio did some time ago. Oddly enough, only Spider-Man didn't know.
In any case, Fury feared what Mysterio could do now that he was free.
"...This is awkward." This was possibly the most weirdest and scary thing Mysterio, aka, Beck, was doing right now. Now, how to explain it. First one would have to go back all the way to the beginning.
It began with the unification, where three worlds merged into one. Mobius, Earth, and Remnant becoming a new unified world. One that presented both endless possibilities of good, and evil.
After Mysterio sent his daughter to safety, he put on his old suit and started a crime spree like any good villain would do. Money, jewelry, Dust, and all sorts of goods. Putting it all in a bank that secured both his and Frances's future for a good long while. Sadly, when Mysterio heard about some Stark tech being out in the open, he gave in to his greed.
Things were fine at first. While there were a few other baddies with him, nobody bothered him. Then team JNPR arrived and ruined everything. When they came in, Mysterio had been put off guard. The Beacon students also having some allies he never seen before. All this made it so he was put under lock and key again.
Stuck in his cell, Mysterio figured he would be trapped their for who knows how long. The cell specifically tailored to match his abilities. Illusions and gases useless inside. Hours later though, he heard a commotion. Something how that freak Goblin got out, and escaped.
The guards stating he was recaptured and given an aura lock collar. It was then Mysterio realized the guards that took him in didn't give him one at all. No doubt they haven't been told that Mysterio now had aura with him.
Aura strong enough to match a certain blonde knight, and be used to bust him out of their. It was honestly laughable how S.H.I. ., the defenders of the earth, made such a oversight.
But hey, their loss is his gain.
With a few punches here and there, Mysterio busted out, used his gases, sole a few blasters and tech and teleported out of their. Another oversight on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s part is how they always seem to let the criminal keep their tech and equipment in their cells. Once again, another stupid act on their side.
In any case, Mysterio made it back home with all his loot and his loving daughter and her Altered Wisp pets greeting him. Once he took of the suit and watched the news, his daughter suggested something to him.
"Hey dad. How about we go out for dinner. I hear a new restaurant is here in New Vale City."
Deciding it would be nice to relax after days of work, Beck gave in. The two even bringing their wisp pets which while gathered attention, the people of New York were already used to weird things by now. Altered Wisps not even in the top ten.
Thus the two and their pets made it to a nice restaurant where lots of people were visiting and entered. They then sat down on a nce table and ordered some food that would come in a few minutes.
That's when he saw them, and vice versa.
For sitting across him and his daughter were….the Secret Avengers.
"..."
How fate could be so cruel.
Rewinding time, we now look at the Secret Avengers side.
Now, these hardcore powerful warriors consisted of many members from all three worlds. Black Widow, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Qrow, Raven, Winter, Moon Knight, Shadow, Rouge, Omega, and Wolverine. Some of the toughest that their universe had to offer.
Together under the leadership of Widow, this team of literal secret Avengers did the more espionage jobs and roles that the more 'purish' heroes didn't take. Where their current mission had been to track down the lost and scattered Exo Stones no thanks to Doom and his posse.
And after a good long while of hunting them down, fighting the Superior Seven, escaping the new weird monsters of the Mobiant Earth, the team leader Widow decided they could use a break. Where the team then decided to eat at a new restaurant that Qrow found and decided to relax their. Ordering their food and waiting when suddenly, Mysterio in his civilian form with some girl and those four Altered Wisps came in and sat across them.
"..." How fate truly messed with the good guys.
Back to the present, we now see the only person oblivious was Frances herself. Who after a while then noticed the tense atmosphere and checked what made her father so quite. Looking up, she then saw a group of weirdly dressed men and women that looked very familiar. A light bulb went into her head and she recognized them at last.
"Hey dad, aren't those guys the weirdos you beat up back in Remnant?" Not a good choice of words.
"Okay, what the fuc-" Before Qrow could finish his profanity, Winter shut his mouth.
"Qrow," She whispered quietly and harshly. "We are in a public space. Don't bring attention."
"Are you kidding me," Luke said not looking to pleased at all. "This guy is a menace. We should be arresting me."
"Correct Luke. But now is not the time and place." Iron Fist said to his rather short tempered buddy. The other Secret Avengers looking divided between arresting Mysterio, or doing nothing for the time being.
For Beck, sweat started appearing on his skin. He couldn't believe it. He busted out already, only to end up in with the very same people he messed with and could go to jail again. His mind decided perhaps now was the time to leave.
"Ugh, Frances, I think we should go."
"Huh. But why?" She asked whining a little. Her pets also nodding in agreement. Before Beck could say anything, the fine waiter came in with a few other workers with many plates.
"Here you go ladies and gentlemen. I hope you enjoy." He said with the plates being set down across them. The Altered Wisps looked rather pleased and started eating with Frances who dug in.
For Beck and the Secret Avengers, a silent agreement came in between them. They would eat first, then deal with this later. A unsteady truce for the time being. One that could possibly end in destruction.
Slowly, everybody started eating in silence. Eating the fine food they all ordered, each keeping an eye on the other side for any funny business. Nobody making a sound for while. A silence that was broken when Omega had a question.
"Query: what has happened to those Wisps? My files do not suggest they are Negas, yet they seem different." The Secret Avengers just glared at the machine, who didn't care about such social obligations. Only wanting to know more about the unique Wisps it was seeing.
"Oh, you mean the pets dad brought home?" The one speaking being Frances, who's remark made a few brows rise.
"Pets?"
"Dad?" Raven and Qrow asked with Frances nodding.
"Yeah. After dad finished doing his business on Remnant, he said I could have these cute little guys as pets." Frances then started affectedly rubbing the Wisps who purred in affection. Qrow on the other hand looked very confused.
"Hold on a second." He then pointed to her, and then at Mysterio. "You-your related to him?!"
"Yep. Didn't you know? S.H.I.E.L.D. does have files on every criminal they capture. It should be there." Naturally since Qrow never bothered with those files, he didn't know. Widow, Winter, and Rouge of course have, and knew. Frances did look a bit like him.
"I see. In that case, Beck Quentin, how did these Altered Wisps come into being?" Omega asked the father, seeing as Frances didn't know. Beck of course wasn't really sure why this robot was talking to him like they were buddies. But considering how this thing was a walking arsenal, it probably be best to speak.
"Ohh, well to e honest, i don't actually know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Winter narrowed her eyes at the man who indirectly put her in a coma. "Didn't you make them?"
"What! Of course not." Beck was shocked that somebody would think he would experiment on living things. Completely forgetting he technically did harm regular wisps back in space. "All I did was the sensible thing. Which was ordering online."
"Ordering...online?"
"Dang. You really can get anything on the net these days." Luke said surprised Beck got his powerful 'pets' from the internet. Patting Iron Fist on the back. As for Widow, she decided to have Fury look into this later on.
"Wait. So you just ordered them online?" Rouge asked unsure how to feel about this. "Do you even know who did this to them?"
"Eh, not really." Beck said scratching the back of his head a she took a sip. "There are rumors Doom did this, but I think that's over exaggerating."
"Who cares anyway." Frances said petting the former laser wisp. "Not like you guys need to know how we got these cuties. Isn't that right boys?"
The Altered Wisps 'barked' in agreement. Propting Frances to throw them some pieces of her food for them to enjoy.
"I can't believe powerful aliens as these have reduced themselves to this." Raven said looking disgusted how such strong aliens would allow themselves to become nothing more than pets. The Rocket Wisp only sticking its tongue at Raven, annoying her.
"Whatever the case," Widow said before things could get ugly. "We will be taking those back to cure and release them back in the wild."
"What! No way!" Frances yelled getting angry. "Like hell I'm letting some depressed looking woman take my babies away."
"F-Frances." Beck tried to stop her, but his daughter wouldn't allow anyone taking her new friends.
"You can just go and find your own. Isn't that right boys?" The Altered Wisps totally agreed. Not wanting to be cured, having enjoyed their stay with their new master and the human called Beck.
"This is for their best. Those Wisps shouldn't be like this?" Iron Fist attempted to calm her down, giving reasoning. Frances refused.
"Oh, and who told you that?" She rebutted. "You can take your stupid philosophy crap or whatever and get out of here. You exhibitist."
"E-exhibitist?!" Iron Fist actually stuttered for a second. Having never been called that before. Though considering he did show off his chest, the comment actually made sense.
"Listen here child," Shadow began. "Those Wisps don't belong to you. So give them back or-"
"Blah, blah, blah," Frances interrupting the Ultimate Lifeform while eating a few crackers before speaking again. "I don't give a damn what you say you oversized rat."
For the first time Shadow gained a tick mark in a long while. One that only got worse when Frances continued speaking ill of him.
"And you know, for the supposed Ultimate Lifeform, you really aren't all that." Beck slowly started coming up with a plan since he felt for certain things were about to get ugly. "I mean, here you are, the supreme being. Strong, fast, and whatever you call yourself. Yet not only did you get beaten by my dad in the Triskelion, but if I recall correctly, he humiliated you completely. Duping you and your rag-tag team at every turn. Even tricking you into setting off that fake Smash Ball, which by the way, was hilarious. Especially when he took your Chaos Emerald and left you unable to move for a long while."
Shadow was slowly getting angry. Something Rouge and Omega noticed and started stepping back. Widow also getting suspicious on how this girl knew so much about their mission and fights against him.
"I mean, come on," Frances then pointed at each and every one of them. "He bested you all at your best. Destroying supposed invulnerable skin and monk powers. "Luke seethed with Danny trying to calm him down. "Put some prissy woman in a coma." Winter held back from touching her rapier.
"Put the 'great' Wolverine in a dirt nap. Fooled Atlas with the fake Grimm invasion. Took you all down in one shot. I mean, Spider-Man beats him every time-no offense dad."
"None taken." Beck responded getting his holo sphere ready.
"-Yet you guys are supposed to be as strong as the Avengers. What, did you underestimate him just because people call him a low rank villain. If so, then maybe you should step down from your hero positions and let some youngsters take your place." Frances cockily said with the Altered Wisps jeering at them. Then growing a grin on her face. "Oh wait, a bunch of kids are doing better than you. Phe! How embarrassing."
It was official, the Secret Avengers were becoming more and more irritated by this girl compared to what Mysterio did to them. None of them unable to actually defend themselves seeing as what the girl said was all true.
Had it been not their status as 'good-guys', the fact she was a civilian, and how it'd be bad if they struck Frances without no purpose, they would have placed her under arrest. To bad she wasn't finished.
"And another thing." Standing up, the Altered Wisps floated by her as she chastised them. "Technically speaking, there aren't any laws involving the Wisps at all. Not to mention I heard stories how Wisps are actually being adopted by people from Mobius. In other words, you have no authority to take my own."
She got them there, as there hasn't been any time to implement laws about the remaining Wisps that stayed in Sonic's home. Which meant the Secret Avengers themselves were in the wrong. Frances having full authority to keep them. The law was literally on her side this time.
"In any case, I'm leaving with my Wisps. Have a good day you sorry excuse of bullies." Huffing, Frances then left with a satisfied look on her face with the Wisps following with glee. Glad their master has protected them.
Leaving Mysterio with the Secret Avengers all along.
"Hehe….kids these days...huh?' Beck whistled nervously. The team looking rather pissed at having been told off like that from a girl. Many people in the restaurant noticed this and were quite shocked at it to. A few having recorded the yelling as well.
"In other news…" Beck started getting up, the Secret Avengers doing the same. "...I have to go."
"And what makes you think we'll be letting you go?" Black Widow responded as the entire team readied their weapons.
"Simple. This." A beeping sound was made and Moon Knight then noticed a hold sphere below them. Beck then cheekily waved his hand saying one thing. "Sayonara."
Like that the Secret Avengers were teleported away far, far, away. Into the dump where they all landed in the garbage.
"I really hate that guy." Qrow said with a rise of agreement coming from them all. It was also on that day that the team would request a new member of the team. One Fury accepted while also deleting the video footage recorded that day. A day the Secret Avenger agreed on that would never be spoken of again. Ever.
Meanwhile, while all the drama was unfolding a pair of 'humans' dressed as Beowolf Grimm were dancing onstage. Their popularity having risen by introducing themselves as the Grimm Brothers. A hot band that many people loved.
Currently though, they were running away. the 'humans' Mike and Marty trying to escape the devil itself. A monster taking the form of a young girl. one that would kill them for little to no reason.
"Wait! I just want an autograph!" Behind them was one Ruby Rose who enjoyed their songs and youtube videos. Unsure why they kept running away from her when all her other friends got autographs from this hot duo.
"Get away from us monster!"
"Please! Just leave us alone!"
"But why!?"
The three then passed by none other than Spider-Man himself, who was currently just plain old Peter Parker and watched his sister chasing two Grimm.
"Hey Ero."
"Yes Peter."
"Those two that Ruby is chasing...aren't those..."
"Real Grimm. Yes. And no, I have no idea how they can speak at all let aside why nobody has figured it out yet."
"Oh." Peter then looked where Ruby was still chasing the pitiful Grimm. Actually feeling sorry for them. "Should we...do something?"
"If you mean kill them go ahead. But they aren't doing any damage or killing people."
"I guess." With those thoughts in mind, Peter decided to just let the Grimm go, seeing no point in harming them since they weren't doing any harm. Leaving them as Ruby continued to chase them which would last a long while.
Hahahaha! Poor Mike and Marty. Being chased by a fan that could kill them instantly. And for the Secret Avengers, sucks they were talked down by daughter of a villain. Then sent away. Oh well.
Anyway, i hope you enjoyed this one-shot. I may make more, but it all depends. Until another day, bye.
