I tried twice to write a superhero fanfiction for the Marvel world with my own characters. Let's hope this one will be the right one XD
Everybody knows the story: in 1945, the Nazi plot against America was stopped by the all-american hero Steve Rogers also known as Captain America. It was at the price of his own life as he fell into the ocean and was frozen for over 60 years. Fast forward to present day and the captain took part in another major story event: the Chitauri Invasion of New York which was stopped by the legendary team known as the Avengers.
However, what most people doesn't know is that during that event, something similar occurred in the city of Montréal, Québec, Canada. Not like the Americans cared about Canadians after all. This is the story of the Limitless Team...
Space above North America and near a satellite
A spaceship accosted a satellite and two astronauts came out on the main platform, locking their security hooks to it. Then, they pressed a button on the surface which made a computer came out and one of the astronauts pressed on some buttons which turned the satellite on.
With Chitauri Invasion closing in on New York, Canada decided to activate some security measures for their own country. Unlike American, the country didn't had heroes to protect them from alien invasions. Luckily they had a security satellite given to them by the S.H.I.E.L.D. to make sure no unwanted guests would attack them.
Earth, Canadian Government military base
The legendary general Patriote Seguin entered the control room where many technicians were working on computers. While not as advanced as America, Canada also had advanced technology to be a part of the modern world.
General Patriote Seguin was known for having served in the S.H.I.E.L.D. under the orders of Nick Fury himself. He gained a lot of experience on the battlefield because of this, but being a nostalgic, he decided to return and defend his hometown of Québec, Canada. However, he was certainly not going to be forgotten for all the villains he arrested and the lives he saved.
He walked over to some technicians on a computer board and got greeted: "All systems are green, General."
"Okay. Let's get this working before we kick it into orbit," the general instructed. He was a pretty tall man with pale skin and snow white military cut hair and beard. His face was a bit pleated from old age and a burning scar decorated the left side of his cheek. But his age didn't stopped him from staying in good shape. For this day, he decided to put on the traditional military green uniform of the Canadian forces.
Obeying his orders, the technicians got to work and soon, images appeared on the wide screen at the end of the room. "Sir, it looks like we might have a hit in the Nevada desert."
"Already?" the general asked with a curious eye brow.
The screen image showed a red point moving. "It's confirmed: vibranium. It can only be a Chitauri ship. It's changing course."
A smirk formed on Seguin's mouth. "He, he, you can run, but you can't hide. Not anymore."
"Sir, our scanners indicate that it's moving into orbit," another technician pointed out. "Toward the satellite."
This caused the general to widen his eyes. "Get those astronauts back into the ship! NOW!"
Space
The two astronauts kept working until they spotted a movement beside them and turned their heads...to see a Chitauri space ship slowly floating their way.
"Return to the shuttle immediately! I repeat!" the technicians on earth ordered through radio. "Call your team! This is an emergency case!"
"Affirmative!" the pilot responded.
Unfortunately, before the astronauts could even unhook themselves, the alien ship charged right into the satellite and started bringing it down along with the human spaceship. On earth, General Seguin could only look in horror as the screen showed the pilot panicking and repeating "Mayday!" as the vehicle started catching fire and then...the signal was lost.
General Seguin just starred at the lost signal screen before lowering his head and groaning. Opening his eyes again, he decided to head to his personal room where he called the superiors of the government on a television screen. "How long before you can deploy another satellite, General?" one of them asked.
"I will not sacrifice any more lives before we can guarantee the success of this mission!" Seguin firmly declared.
"How long?" the person insisted.
Pushing a sigh, he responded: "Within the week."
"Then we will use this time to put defense measure in place," another superior said. "And General, there is another thing we expect from you."
"We want you to put on the LIMITLESS project."
Seguin looked curiously. "LIMITLESS Project?"
"When you came back after working for the S.H.I.E.L.D., you shared their Avengers Project with the government. The idea of forming a group of super people to lead wars we could not win was retained and so we created the LIMITLESS Project which is the same thing."
Seguin just glanced at his superiors...before pushing a sigh. "As you wish."
I won't lie: I took some inspiration from the Ultimate Avengers storyline for this story.
In the next chapter, we're gonna get introduced to the Limitless Team members.
