A LOOSE END APPEARS
None of the characters, items or locations are owned by that of this author.
My name is Captain Earth. Originally from the lineage of Captain America, our name has changed after the country of America had been retired after the concept of countries had been ruled defunct. I and my subordinates are of The Rightful, named for the position on this planet which was promised to us but not fully realized at a time. We serve the Overseers, the wisest of humanity whom we trust to determine our law and economy. It is here, the stronghold named The Baxter Building by its previous inhabitants, that we observe and await orders from the Overseers on whatever threat may come upon our society, and train for future missions.
In recent years our enemy, collectively referred to as the Faded, has dwindled to the point of extinction and as such we combat fewer threats in our current day. Nonetheless we are to keep a sharp physical and mental state, and remain prepared for whatever dangers may come to our way of living. As were my usual routine, I engaged in an obstacle course followed by a sparring bout with one of my subordinates. During my melee practice with Spider-Person, I received a distress call, the level of which indicated a most secure matter.
"Good evening Captain. As you are aware, our world is currently safe from the menace of the Faded. However, as you may have noted from our use of the world "currently", there may be a sign that could indicate a resurgence. Some 0500 hours a sighting has been reported of a lone female Faded in the Outskirts. How this particular Faded has remained obscured from scrutiny appears to be an oversight on our part. Nonetheless, you are now tasked with bringing this potential threat under control, lest the Faded find a return to prominence. You are dismissed."
Truly after all this time this was looking to be our biggest mission in years. I would need but the top lieutenants to overlook the troops: Spider-Person, The Hulk, Iron Person and Thor would best serve on a mission of this importance. Our current crisis is of the utmost importance and must be brought to an absolute head.
