Chapter One: AKA Missing Friend

It's been three years since Elphaba and Fiyero left Oz. Most people believed they went to the Badland, what they don't know, is the place they went to is nothing like the Badland, but a city called New York. Throughout the past three years, the couple's lives have been better than they expected. Elphaba managed to turn Fiyero back into a human. As for her green skin, the worst people can come up with is thinking she's diagnosed with some skin disease. But most of the time they just think she's some crazy Wicked fan who died her skin. Not bad compared to back in Oz. The best thing though was that Chistery has been able to travel between Oz and New York with newspapers back, keeping them updated with Oz and know how Glinda been. As the ruler of Oz, Glinda the Good has been doing quite well. It is said on the news that Glinda has managed to finally bring the people and Animals peace, and Madame Morrible is prisoned for life. However, not all happiness can last. Throughout the past few months, Elphaba and Fiyero have been hearing some quite unpleasant news. Oz has been great, but their best friend has been absent from the public for six months, which is nothing like her at all. Not even the castle guards and the maids have seen her in the castle, or her room. The only evidence they have to prove their ruler is still alive is the announcements and letters she sends every single week. Elphaba has sent Chistery over to Oz and searches for Glinda, but she was nowhere to be found, no evidence, not even a footprint, a piece of her cloth, a fley of hair or even a SMELL of her PERFUME!

"So she's not dead if she's still taking care of Oz, well then where in Oz can she be!?" says Elphaba, out loud as she paces back and forth in the study room.

"Fae, your not gonna go anywhere if you just keep being so anxious about it," says Fiyero, as he looks back from his laptop in the middle of a research of planets besides Oz and Earth.

"Well, what other solutions do you have besides researching on planets?" asks Elphaba

"Hm...Good question. Maybe she accidentally cast a spell that made her invisible?" asks Fiyero

Elphaba rolls her eyes and that response "if she was invisible, you'd at least hear her voice and see her bubbles!" snaps the woman with green skin.

"Fair point" responds Fiyero

"What can we do then? If they found out we're alive, they'll kill us for real this time." says the former Gale Force.

"I'd use a search spell but the distance from here to Oz would drain a good amount of energy and would expose us if it goes wrong," answers Elphaba.

"Fae, we've been trying to do this ourselves for months with no luck, perhaps it's time to find some allies. You know, people like us, I mean we already know some for Oz sake. Matt Murdock is a blind ninja known as Daredevil, Danny Rand is the mortal Iron Fist, and then there's Luke Cage who has unbreakable skin. Not to mention the Avengers, they work with aliens for a living, maybe they can help." says Fiyero.

"Yeah, and cause a mass explosion and I'd be known as a freak from both worlds. Or worse, I lose you and everyone I've cared of, again!" cries Elphaba, as she imagines being alone in the world. Watching her tears drop, Fiyero walks over to the woman he loves, and holds her tight in his arms.

"You've been along for far too long Fae, it's time you have people support you. And maybe you do, you just need to open up and let them into your world. No one, especially me and Glinda, would ever leave you." As he spoke softly into her ears, Elphaba finally looks up.

"Fine. But if anything happens, you're responsible." Elphaba says, as she slaps Fiyero in the shoulder and walks away to get dressed.

"Ow! What was that for? What? Hey! Where are you going!" screams Fiyero, chasing after his lover.

"You said to find some allies, the trio is usually at the gym at this time" answers Elphaba as she puts on her shoe and gets ready to leave the door.

This woman switches too fast thinks the mind of Fiyero Tiggular.

At the gym, Matt Murdock, Danny Rand, and Luke Cage are each on a running machine. As Elphaba and Fiyero walk in, Luke Cage notices the couple.

"Hey bro! Working out today huh?" says Luke, as he walks over and patted Fiyero on the shoulder.

"Ow! Is this some shoulder hitting day or something? I just got slapped in the shoulder by my Fae before heading out." Wined the soar prince, rubbing his shoulder.

"Tough girl huh? Ms. Thropp."

Seeing Luke bow at her and addressing her so formally, Elphaba rolled her eyes and pulled him to his feet.

"Pathetic, I'm not some 'Ruler of New York City'"

"You'd be good as one!" yells Danny Rand from across the room, now kickboxing.

"I know a girl just like you." says Luke, addressing to Elphaba "Jessica Jones, private investigator, tough to mess around, can stop a moving car and lift a human above her head, and smart as hell."

"Would you guys stop chit chatting? I'm trying to figure out how to settle this lawsuit I'm dealing with while working out" spoke Matt Murdock while walking on the running machine in his suit.

I am way too old for this. thought Elphaba, quietly in her mind with an annoyed face.

Noticing the look on his lover's face, Fiyero suddenly remembers what they were here for.

"Actually, we're here to talk about something. It's important," he says to the group.

Oh, thank goodness! Elphaba thinks to herself

The group moves to a nearby bench and sits down as Matt Murdock steps off the running machine and joins in.

"Our friend from Glinda has been -" Elphaba began to explain before getting cut off.

"Wait," says Matt, cutting Elphaba off. "Somebody's coming, we need to find somewhere else to talk."

The crew moved to a nearby Chinese restaurant down the street. The restaurant was crowded with people talking at tables and waiters walking around. The crew sat down at a table in the back.

"How is this supposed to be safer?" Luke looks around in disbelief.

"It makes us blend in more, we'd be less suspicious" Answers Danny.

"Right! Or we stand out more considering there's a green stream bean over here." snaps Elphaba, feeling uncomfortable of the crowd.

"Guys..." sighs Fiyero, overwhelmed by the unending arguments. "Can we please just stop arguing and get to the point?"

"Fine, our friend Glinda has been missing for the past six months, we've been trying to find her ourselves with no luck, so we need help from you guys," explains Elphaba, wanting to get over the situation as fast as possible.

"Help find a missing friend? I'm in" Danny says, giving a confirming look to the two as he reaches out his fists to the center of the table.

"Guess I'm being a hero again" shrugging his shoulder, Luke puts his fist to the center as well.

The group looks at Matt. Looking back firmly with his blind eyes, Matt nods and places his fist among the rest.
