Arctic stared at the man who stood before her. A villain known as Piledriver. She had caught him scaring up a bank, alone. The rest of his wrecking crew gone.

"Come now, no need to do anything crazy..." Arctic Angel pleaded. Her race is a passive one, their physical strength, more than the average human but no where near the strength of Asgardian's like Thor. They control cold and ice, as well as a control over water, ice just being frozen water.

"Your boy isn't here anymore, lady! You are all alone!" Piledriver taunted.

"Blaze and I were enough to take down your other crew members, Piledriver. You aren't nearly as strong by yourself. Just come with me, peacefully." Arctic Angel pleaded.

"I left them! They weren't strong enough to support me!" Piledriver took a step closer, Arctic took a step back. "What's the matter, scared?"

"No. I just don't fancy violence, Piledriver." Arctic looked at him. Arctic has flowing white hair, she's tall and lean. Her eyes icy blue, her skin cold to the touch. She looks as if she'd just been thawn out, like a frozen statue. She wears robe, that hides her hair and eyes from humans so they don't see her as anything but human, unless she wants them to.

"Don't fancy violence?!" Piledriver laughed. "Didn't seem that way when you and Blaze took down my team! I still haven't forgotten your face!"

"I apologize, I saw your team ganging up on a fellow alien... I couldn't resist helping out." Arctic tried to explain.

"Shut up! Let our fists do the talking!" Piledriver suddenly launched a fist at Arctic, getting her in the face as she was sent flying into a building, making a large dent by the impact.

On the roof of that very building sat a girl with binoculars, and brown hair. A walkie talkie in hand.

"Sir, can I assist her?" Rocki spoke into the walkie talkie.

"No!" A voice spoke back. "She needs to do this, but what you can do is contact the Avengers."

"Like I did with Blaze? Give them an anonymous tip?" Rocki asked.

"Exactly." Her boss responded.

"Why are we letting these two bit heroes join the avengers?" Rocki asked.

"They need them, they are stronger than anyone on that team, besides Thor, of course. They need them if they any hope of taking down Galactus." The voice responded.

"There's more to this story than you are telling us, huh?" Rocki asked.

"I wouldn't be much of a boss if I told you everything straight forward would I?" The voice responded.

"I guess. Rocki... Out." Rocki sighed and dropped the walkie talkie. "Why won't he tell me the truth? Why must he keep secrets..."

Arctic glared, trying to keep calm. Much like Blaze, when she got angry or sad, or her emotions spike, she gets unstable.

"What? Is The Piledriver too much for you?!" Piledriver taunted.

"Please... you have one chance." Arctic Angel warned him, as she floated back to the ground in front of him.

"One chance huh?" Piledriver looked at her and grinned. "I'll pass!"

With that, he swung his fist and she was hit across the face being sent flying again, this time crashing onto a moving bus.

Blaze arrived at Avengers HQ and was greeted by a man with a bow, a black man with robotic wings. And a floating robot.

"Whose he?" The man with the bow asked.

"An ally, he says he has Intel for us." Captain America walked in front of Blaze. "The inquiring one is Hawkeye, the flying one is Falcon, and the robot is Vision. Where Scarlet, Ant Man, and Widow?"

"Widow went on a solo mission, like always, and Witch is in the training room." Falcon replied. "Ant man is in the lab with Bruce."

"And Thor hasn't returned yet." Hawkeye spoke.

Suddenly, the siren started blaring and Tony ran to see what was going on.

"Guys, it's Piledriver. The same anonymous tip that led us to Blaze says a frozen women is being attacked by Piledriver." Tony explained. "I gotta work my brilliance here. Cap, take Hawkeye and Falcon and go."

"Arctic Angel?" Blaze asked. "You gotta let me go! She's my friend, she saved my life. I have to."

"The other wrecking crew might be there, Cap. You gotta think, we could use help. I mean, I heard about Blaze, he almost melted Wreckers face off." Falcon looked at Cap.

"Okay, but you be careful okay, Blaze?" Captain America looked at Blaze.

"Yes! Anything, I owe her." Blaze smiled, his heart pounding. "Besides, this is personal. Piledriver almost killed me. Him and his crew. Arctic Angel saved my life. She didn't even know me prior, just saw I needed help and knew we were of the same breed."

"Same breed?" Hawkeye asked.

"You do not have time to explain, must hurry before Piledriver kills her. They are in Manhattan." Vision spoke out, for the first time.

"Be safe." Tony turned to us. "Don't make me regret this, I am brilliant, but I can't see the future."

"It's just the wrecking crew, they aren't big fish." Hawkeye smirked and turned to leave. "Meet you on the Helipad."

Blaze followed behind Falcon and Cap. They entered the Avenjet, and took off toward Manhattan. This is Blaze's first mission with the avengers, even though he's not technically an avenger yet. He's nervous and hopes he doesn't embarrass himself in front of Hawkeye, Falcon, or Captain America.

Arctic Angel stood up, and groaned as she jumped off the bus onto the grass besides the side walk, landing elegantly and beautifully. She turned to Piledriver who was sprinting full speed down the street at her. She held out her hand and the sidewalk froze over as he slid and fell down, sliding on his stomach toward her, coming in hot.

"Outta the way, lady!" Piledriver hollered to her.

"I apologize for this, Piledriver." Arctic angel raised her fist and clenched it, as the ice rose around him, making an icicle cage. He started pounding on it, breaking the spikes, but as he did more rose.

"Let me out, cheat!" Piledriver hollered.

"I cannot allow you to hurt me anymore. I have a mission." Arctic Angel closed her eyes.

Suddenly, Piledriver put his shoulder and forearm in front of him and rammed the icicles, shattering them. Arctic Angel kept raising her hand to summon more spires. He kept ramming through them, as Piledriver continued his way toward her. He was getting closer and closer. Was this how she was going to die? Was Arctic Angel doomed to be killed by Piledriver? The ice on the ground no longer affected him. She started rising into the air as a blast of snow hit Piledriver, as he closed his eyes and kept going toward her. Arctic Angel was about to fly away to escape, but...

Just then an explosion made her ears ring and hurt. It came from where Piledriver was, and she saw him struggling to his feet.

"Avengers... Assemble! Protect Arctic Angel!" A males voice called out.

Arctic turned to face the man, who she Instantly recognized as Captain America. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm and she gasped, knowing any human who touches her skin is frozen in a matter of moments. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Blaze's concerned eyes staring at her.

"Blaze!" Arctic gasped. "Why are you with the Avengers?!"

"We have to tell them about Galactus, Arctic. They are strong, they can help." Blaze tried to explain.

"I had the same idea..." Arctic looked down at the battle, saw Captain America knocking Piledriver to the ground, as Falcon landed and kicked at him. Piledriver grabbed Falcon's leg and slammed him onto the ground, as Falcon groaned.

"Falcon!" Captain America called to him.

"Check on him, Cap. I'll distract our buddy!" Hawkeye called from the rooftop he was on. Aiming his bow at Piledriver as an arrow hit the ground by him and exploded, sending Piledriver into the sky, and him landing hard.

"We gotta help them, Blaze!" Arctic looked at Blaze.

"Yeah." Blaze nodded, and his arm was surrounded by a snake of fire. He aimed his hand at Piledriver as a blast of fire smacked into Piledrivers face and he was sent flying.

Captain America grabbed Piledriver and pulled him to his feet as Piledriver swung a punch and Cap was sent sliding on his back.

"Cap!" Blaze called, and glared at Piledriver. A thunder cloud took form in the sky directly above him.

"Thor?" Hawkeye turned to look at it.

"Not quite." Blaze closed his eyes as a thunderbolt struck Piledriver dead on. Falcon got to his feet and looked at Blaze.

"Blaze..." Arctic breathed and Blaze turned to her, and with a slight nod, she knew what to do.

She raised her arms, as a snowstorm engulfed Piledriver as he struggled to escape it. However, when it cleared all that was left was an ice cube with Piledriver trapped inside.

"Seems farmiliar, eh Cap?" Hawkeye joked.

"Not funny." Cap got to his feet.

"Kinda funny." Blaze chuckled and landed softly, Arctic landing elegantly beside him.

"Cap? Can I accompany you all back to your tower please, Blaze and I have some news for you all." Arctic asked, politely.

"Of course. Hawkeye put a call out to S.H.I.E.L.D, have them pick up Piledriver." Captain America ordered. Hawkeye pulled out his S.H.I.E.L.D comm, and proceeded to call S.H.I.E.L.D.

Back at Avengers HQ, Blaze and Arctic Angel stood in front of the team. Bruce, Ant man, Thor and Scarlet Witch had joined them. Black Widow Was still on a solo mission.

"So what's so important you had to contact my team?" Tony asked.

"Let's hear them out." Captain America stopped Tony from grilling the two newcomers. "If it wasn't for them, we might still be fighting Piledriver."

"Thank you, Cap." Arctic smiles politely. "We are from outer space, aliens."

"Like Hyperion?" Hawkeye asked. "Great. Do we need to defeat you two?"

"No!" Blaze suddenly snapped. "We are nothing like that half baked, two bit, wannabe hero."

"Calm down." Captain America reassured Blaze.

"Blaze, shall I?" Arctic asked.

"Go ahead." Blaze shrugged.

"Our planets were obliterated last month. By a destroyer of worlds." Arctic explained.

"Thanos?" Bruce asked. "It couldn't be, could it?"

"No." Blaze sighed. "Worst. Galactus."

"The Devourer of worlds..." Thor breathed.

"What do you expect us to do? Galactus is too strong, even for us." Hawkeye folded his arms. "Not our problem."

"He's on his way here, as we speak." Arctic looked at Hawkeye. "Now is it your problem, Clint?"

"He's on his way to Earth? Why?" Falcon asked.

"No idea." Arctic shrugged. "All we know, is we need your help to take him down. Are you willing to help?"

"Tony?" Cap turned to his old friend.

"I don't know, every attempt at taking down Galactus ended in failure, but with my brilliance, and you guys helping. We could stand a chance. Hawkeye contact Widow, tell her we need her help." Tony spoke.

"Already on it." Hawkeye had his comm out in a flash.

"What should we do?" Ant man approached Tony.

"Prepare for battle. Get the space ship ready. And Bruce? Control your anger, we don't want the ship crash landing halfway up there. Stay calm." Tony spoke, in his dutiful leader voice.

"I will try." Bruce sighed.

"We got one shot to take Galactus down, let's not screw it up." Tony turned to get things ready.

"That was easy..." Blaze mumbled.

"We have a common enemy, Galactus. He is too strong for us alone. But I saw you in action. I know you are capable." Captain America smiled before leaving with everyone else, leaving Arctic and Blaze alone.

Now is the time to take down a tyrant, a Devourer of worlds... It won't be easy, but working with the avengers might make it possible.
