"But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day

Is bonny and blithe and good and gay."


I couldn't say where I was it was dark.

"Frank?" that voice "Frank you ok?" Maria…

I opened my eyes and there she was. "Frank, so mustard or ketchup?" she said while holding up a bottle of both.

"Maria?" what going on.

"Hey dad" Frank jr., Lisa? "Hey dad, can we make a kite?" Lisa asks

"Sure why not, Frank?" Maria looks at me

"Yeah why not?" it was all a dream.


I felt helpless. This was my fault if I had never been born they would alive and everything would be ok. If only…

Then it hit me this was how Frank felt only he did something about but maybe not the right thing I could not defeat this witch by brute force maybe another tactic would work.

"Excalibur…" I called

I needed the Justice League, the Avengers, and villains, I needed help.


"How long is this going on?" Kyle Ryner asked

"As long as it needs to for Raphael to get to the top of tower" Spiderman said

"Of course" Kyle said


A sword cleaved a giant in two

"Don't worry guys we're coming" Raphael said as she climbed the stairs of Fisk manor now Witch Castle.

The plan was simple get in, beat her, leave. That's all she needed.

"Ahh!" said Mark as he took down five elves. "Do these things die?" he yelled over the commotion.

"No but they can get hurt easier than us" Dr. Fate answered.

"Oh lucky us" he shouted.

"Will shut up and get your head in the game" I yelled

"Oh sure and what fun game it is all I want is my girlfriend back!" he yell

"Well then stop yapping and fight"


"Ugh." Batman grunted "So trade in your world for life Fisk"

"Of course this and the worlds to come" he laughed

"Your sicker than Luthur." He exclaimed and rushed at him while Rose Fisk hid under a pile of rubble

"Not good not good, Frank, get Punisher that's what needs to happen he can help" and the ten year old took off.

"Well finally I'll be the man who killed the bat" he said as he raised a gun to batman's head.

"Not yet" batman pulled out a batterang and him the then punched him

"We'll see if it was worth it"


"All over the world creatures of another plain are appearing the Justice League and Avengers are working their best to try to stop but the power source of these creatures seems to be the tower like building in the middle of New York."

"Things are worse then we feared" said one of the immortal guardians of the universe

"Yes they are the witch must not escape"

"We must send help"

"For their world's sake"

"And ours."


"Cap, take the left" Natalia Romanova ordered

"Got him, can that girl really stop her?"

"The League seems to think so we should trust them with this one?" she answered

"So we fight till the lass has completed her quest" Thor said as he raised Mnolnerr.

"And we will have victory" Henry Pym said as he jumped on an elf


Green lanterns rushed out of the sky into earth.

"kat" Kyle Rayner Called

"The guardians sent us this evil must be stoped at all cost" she said "And no we aren't going to blow up the earth" she finished as a swarm of golems came at her.

"Then what are we doing?" Kyle asked

"What are you guys doing?" Kilawog asked as he landed

"Raphael, Superman's daughter, has away to beat the witch so we're buying her time down here till she can release the witch's power sources and beat her" he said

"Good plan how long will it take?"

"As long as it needs to"


Dear reader I would like to take this time out of the story to explain whats happening if you don't get it.

Teams have been assembled to keep the creatures occupied if they didn't they would head to their masters place and Raphael would be doomed. The Guardians of the universe have offered help to earth by sending every available Green Lantern to earth. Batman is currently facing Richard Fisk who helped the witch who promised to give him eternal youth. Richards's young son has gone to release Frank Castle who is currently being held in some sort of dream world like the black mercy.

Thank you for your time. Now back to the story


"Ahhhhhhhh!" as woman screamed as an elf had her coroner

"Oh no you don't" Sheyra Hol cried as she hit it with her mace.

"Thank you" the woman said and ran with her daughter in her arms.

"Chey" she said and hit an elf who had tried to sneak up on her.

"Nice keeping your head in the fight" Flash said as he threw a goblin twenty yards away

"Nice shoot' in text" she said and flew off

"So is Raphael almost there" Wally asked J'onn as he appeared

"I can sense she's almost to the top, and the Witch is waiting" he said

"Well she can take her that's our Raphael" Flash said confidently

"Between the league, her parents, and life I would like think she's more than ready for this."

"She is" is all Wally says before he dashes off.


"Come on Dad let's go!" Frank jr. says and runs over the hill

"Be careful" Maria Castle calls after him "Lisa go on with your brother" and she runs off to

"What wrong?" she asks and turns to Frank Castle

"Nothing just a bad dream." Ha says but it felt so real

"Well you're up now and you promised to help them with the kite"

"Yep I did" he says and kisses her


"I hate stairs" Mark panted as they reached the top

"But it was worth' Dr. Fate panted

"Oh really" said a cool voice behind him

The witch stood with Frank Castle

Raphael jumped and glared at the witch "Let him go" she growled

"My dear he's here of his own will in his dream like state I can control him but first he must to be there" she explained. "Now Arthur shall we finish this or…"

"I have a better idea" I say "A wager"

"Oh I do love my wagers" she said "go on"

"If I can get Frank out of this trance you let him go and leave forever and relinquish your powers all of them." I say

"And if not? Then what"

"Then you get me and Excalibur but you still leave Earth"

"Well Apoklips has always been my passion to rule and with you and Excalibur it can be done deal you get him out the trance which you can't for its impossible without... well you just won't be able to do it"

"We'll see"


"Come on Bats, from what I've heard I'm disappointed" Fisk yelled

"I can't say I'm impressed" A battered Batman said from the shadows.' If I could just get him in the right spot' he thought 'I could get him'

"We'll you will be I'll be a king for all eternity!" he screamed and walked closer to special point in the room "I will rule all mankind" he finished and laugh. Unknown to him a bat bomb went off right under him an the floor caved in. "Ahh!" he screamed

"King Riiiight" batman said and walked away "Fisk is down any news on Raphael?" he said into the comlink

"Just that she's already in the tower I can't sense her anymore" J'onn said

"Then we've done all we can it's up to her now" he said and hung up.

"God help her"


"Frank wake up" Raphael cried as he attacked her "Come on your stronger than this, Wake up!" she yelled.

"Raphael, try to think about what the witch said you need something what could it be?" Dr. Fate said from a cage above the arena. Mark was looking for the missing girls

"She'll never figure it out, and even if she did it's not capable of him" the witch said

I to win I have to save the world even if it means killing him "Frank please don't make me" I say as tears come to my eyes. We were at the very top of the tower it was dark. Frank wake up…


"Pretty lady and Castle fight, need something?" Rose Fisk questioned "what a story?" he shook his head. Suddenly it came to him "Story yes story always in there the answer I have it. He jumped up and yelled to Raphael, "Pretty Lady I know what it needs the story needs…"

"Of course" she said "It's always there"


"Dad look at how high it going" Frank Jr exclaimed

"Wow that's great" Frank Castle says

"Yeah I bet I can higher" Lisa Castle challenges

"Could not" her brother says

"Could too"

"Not

"Too"

"Ok you guys calm down" Maria says as she comes up

"Frank!" a voice comes out of no where

"What was that?" he asks and looks around

"What was what?" his wife asks worried

"Frank, please I don't wanna do this don't make me!" a female voice cries

"That" he yells

"Frank you're scaring me" she says

"I think I'm just tired" he said

"Yeah with how much you work" Lisa teased.

"Yeah dad" Frank Jr agreed

"Yeah that must be it" he said and lied down

"Frank I know you miss them but we need you, I need you please come back"

"You can't hear her!" he exclaims

"Frank I don't hear anything" she says

"Mommy is daddy ok" Lisa asks

"I don't know are you?" she asks

"Frank please I know where you think you are you love them, you love her, and I can't compete with that but please for all of us for me come back"

"Raphael" he whispered

"Frank still hearing that voice, maybe you need a doctor" Maria says and put a hand to his forehead

"You're not real" he whispers and steps back "None of this is"

"What he talking about?" Frank jr. asks

"This isn't real your dead, I need to go back" he said

"Frank what do you mean" Maria said as a car came rushing by

"I'm sorry "he said


"Frank" Raphael said relieved to see his eyes are bright again

"What did she do to me?" he grunted

"No impossible she couldn't have, he'd have to" the witch said confused

"People surprise even those who are all seeing Witch" Dr. Fate said

"Oh my god frank you're ok" I say and hug him.

"Yeah ok" he said and stood up

"As per our bargain" the witch came up behind us "My powers are gone I am mortal and shall leave earth accordingly"

"Good" Frank said and pulled out a gun

"No" I yell but he pulls the trigger first

The witch falls over, a bullet in her head.

"Hey guys I found then they're…Oh my lord" Mark says as he see the witch dead

"Why, she was going. Why Frank Why!" I scream and punched him

"Cause you couldn't finish it" he said grabbed my face

"Not like that, I didn't finish like that" I sobbed and felt his lips on mine.

"It wasn't your to completely finish" he says and walks away. All I see after he disappears is black.


Two weeks later……

I sit now at my finished painting.

Everything's back to normal. Frank is on the run and to hell with that creep. The Avengers say they probably won't catch him. I don't care let him stay lost. The league is doing clean up duty on all the damage and the girls are still in hospital waiting to be released. Chey will be moving in with my sis and May Parker. I'll be alone. Mark and Olivia are engaged and Zoey broke James out of jail. Whereabouts currently unknown.

My picture is still hand mirror with a face peaking out. The face is known everywhere and will forever be my nightmare and dream; it's something I hope a will I never see again and something that will always be with me. It's his face.

"Frank Castle unlike you, I will move on and I will be weightless" I say and look towards the window and open the blinds as Excalibur hangs on my wall, gleaming in the sunlight.

I almost cried while making t this. I'm a sucker for sappy flashbacks. This was my most fun story even if other people didn't like it. I might do a squeal just because I have to know what happens next.
