The Three Avengers
Prologue: All for One
Rick Jones was reading a comic book adaptation of the Three Musketeers featuring Scott Summers, Kurt Wagner, and Bobby Drake and featured songs from the Disney version with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy.
As stage managers and stage hands were rushing around and double checking everything, Rick was caught up in singing the opening song before he heard the stage manager call him up.
"Rick, I've asked you five times now!" The stage hand called out. "Get the narrator! We're live in sixty seconds!"
"Oh, right!" Rick said as he closed the book and headed to the narrator's dressing room. "Mr. Narrator! Mr. Narrator, it's time!"
Just then, the door was quickly opened, smashing Rick on the other side of it as he fell over. He then looked at his comic and sighed. It was now or never.
"Um, sir, I don't mean to press ya, but today's the day I decide which version of the story's told, right?" Rick asked. "I mean, don't get me wrong, the original's great, but it never hurts to spice something up."
The man took the comic Rick was holding and hit him over the head with it.
"Aw, come on, sir!" Rick called out. "You promised!"
Just then, Rick noticed the narrator going off in the wrong direction, his nose glued to the book.
"Hey sir, wait!" Rick called out. "Wait! The stage is-"
Too late. The narrator fell down a flight of stairs and was knocked senseless.
"This way." Rick groaned.
He then rushed to the set and went to the director.
"Hey sir, the narrator kind of knocked himself out." Rick said nervously.
"It's too late to cancel now." The director said. "Rick, you do it."
"Huh?" Rick asked.
"Just sit in the chair and tell the story." The director insisted as Rick was pulled up.
"Well, alright." Rick said as he was brought to the set, and looking for the book, he pulled out the comic and smiled a little at the convenience of it.
"Hey guys, today I'm telling you a different version of the Three Musketeers than normal. The Three Avengers! Plus, this one has some songs in it. Now, the story began in the gutter as three orphan boys, Scott Summers, Kurt Wagner, and Bobby Drake, were scrounging for food. However, one day, they ran afoul of a local group of bullies, the Enforcers. As the boys were helplessly pushed around and beaten, they wondered if anyone would come to their aid when just as things looked their bleakest, the Avengers arrived, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor, and Natasha Romanoff! The group quickly disposed of the crooks as Steve looked down at Scott and handed him a gift, his signature shield, which Scott could barely hold up.
"'Don't worry, son.' Steve had told him. 'You'll grow into it.'
"From that day on, the three boys dreamed of being Avengers just like their heroes, but by the time they were grown up, all they were was janitors, leaving their dream as far away as ever. For you see, before they can truly become Musketeers, they need to learn the real meaning of their creed. 'All for one, and one for all!' Fortunately there happens to be a song about this."
All for one, hey!
All for one and one for all!
Avengers sing,
All for one and one for all!
If you dare to
Cross our path, prepare to fall.
'Cause we'll find you.
All for one and one for all
And all for one and all . . .
So, if you think you dare to
Kick some derriere,
You know that as an Avenger,
You'd be so welcomed.
If you believe you're manly,
Come and join our family.
Come and join the Avengers!
As the Avengers, superhumans from around the world, saluted the leader of the French division, Nathaniel Essex, Scott, Kurt, and Bobby watched from the window of the boiler room.
"Look at 'em, guys." Scott said in awe. "That's gonna be us out there someday. I just know it."
"I can't vait." Kurt smiled, dreaming of the adventures they'd have.
"Yeah." Bobby said as he thought of all the prestige. "Me either."
All for one, hey!
Everyone will heed the call!
Avengers sing,
All for one and one for all!
All for one, hey!
All for one and one for all.
Avengers sing,
All for one, hey!
All for one and one for all
And one for all and one for all
And all . . .!
"All for one, and one for all!" The Avengers called out in unison.
Well, that's the start of a new fic.
