"Elektra," Matt said again, this time more slowly.
"Hello, Matt," she said.
"I'm sensing tension," Deadpool said. He looked at Noelle. "Sup, sweetcheeks?"
Noelle put her hand on Matts shoulder. "Tony wants us at the building. Now."
Noelles phone beeped, and she looked down. "May Jane says Peter went after Doc Ock. I'll go get him, and you go ahead with them."
"We'll be right back," Matt told his guests, going to his and Noelles bedroom with Noelle following.
"Are they trustworthy?" Noelle asked as she slipped out of her clothes and into her costume.
"They're fine," said Matt as he changed. "Maybe not Deadpool. . . but the others are ok."
"And Elektra. . ."
Matt paused. "Are you okay?"
"She's very pretty," Noelle said with a sniff.
Matt laughed. "Noelle Clancy!"
"What?"
"Are you jealous?"
"Who me?" She lit the room up so that Matt could see the serious expression on her face. "Matt, I'm just worried. She was the love of your life, and . . ."
"You're the love of my life," Matt said, kissing her head. She turned around, and Matt took her silky hair in his fingers, braiding it down her back.
"She's just so . . . I don't know, Matt. I just don't want anything to happen." Matt tied her hair, and she turned around.
Matt took her hands in his. "Nothing will happen, okay? Promise." He kissed her. "Come on; we've got work to do."
They joined the others in the living room, and Noelle pulled her mask on. "Alright," she said grudgingly. "I'm going for Pete. Meet you at Tonys." She jumped out of the window and took off over the rooftops.
"You're working with another super?" Elektra asked as they all left the building.
"Yes."
"What sort of relationship do you two have?"
Matt stiffened, then looked at Elektra. "Catch me if you can."
He took off, jumping over a dumpster, onto an awning, and were on the roofs. He took off running, hearing Elektra's feet pounding behind him. She flipped in front of him, spinning around.
"So she's your girlfriend," Elektra said as they ran beside each other.
"Yeah," He said, jumping over a pipe and ducking under a clothes line.
"She's pretty."
"Don't I know it."
"She sorta looks like Anna Paquin. Without the gaps in her teeth."
"You know, that's what Foggy said."
They both stopped, both breathing a bit heavily.
"It's good to see you, Matt," Elektra grinned.
"You too," Matt smiled.
They arrived at Tonys in record time, and went inside.
"Elektra," Tony said in surprise. "It's good to see you . . ."
"She came with Blade." Daredevil said. He frowned. "Oh. They also brought . . ."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have returned!" Deadpool walked in with Blade, sitting across from Wolverine, who growled. "Good to see ya'll!"
"Found Pete," Shadowshine said, coming inside with Spider-Man and Mary Jane.
"Alright, Blade," Cap said. "Tell us what you know."
Blade stood.
"Last month I ran into Victor von Doom – we had it out, and I got away. I had learned of plans he had for an invasion on the Fantastic Four. I tried to get back here fast as I could, but had some trouble. I arrived a week ago, went to warn Reed, and found that Doom had gotten to them first."
"What does Doom want with the Fantastic Four?" Cap asked.
"Doom has developed a high powered machine that can remove the powers of Supers and deliver them to others. If Doom was to use this machine to take the powers of the FF, he could put them into himself."
"But that's not all," Elektra said. "The powers can be split – he could not only press the powers into himself, but any other supervillian willing."
"Oh my God," Shadowshine said.
"We've got to do something!" Luke said.
"I'll arrange an emergency backup bravo team," Cap said.
"Alright, then," Tony said. "Avengers, Assemble."
"Plus Deadpool!"
As the Quinjet took them towards Latveria, Logan and Cap were organizing a bravo team.
"Phone," Logan said. "Speed Dial: X Mansion."
The phone rang for a moment, and then a chirpy, female voice picked up. "Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters!"
"Hey, Kitty," Logan said,
"Logan! Hey, where'd you go? Scott is pi-"
"Hey, is that Shadowcat? Hi, Shadowcat!" Peter said, waving like she could see him.
"Hi, Pete! I'm guessing theres an important Avengers emergency?"
"Somethin' like that. Is Emma around?"
"Ugh. Yes. Hold on." They were put on hold.
"It's Saturday night
and I'm just hangin' out
Lookin' for a place to party
So I jumps into my ride
and I hits the road
Cause there's only one place to go
Down to the nightclub!"
"You have Down to the Nightclub as your hold music?" Spidey asked Logan.
Logan grunted, and a new, cold voice came on the speakers.
"Logan?"
"Hey, Em."
"Logan, you inconsiderate, unsophisticated, temperamental cretin!"
"I miss you, too."
"Beside the point; where are you?"
"On an Avengers mission."
"Well, I have a surprise for you when you get home, Mr. Howlett. I have a lovely new Victorias Secret set with your name on it, mister. And as soon as you get here, you and I are going to have a lovely night of adultery and wine –"
"Emma," Logan cleared his throat, looking at the dumbstruck Avengers around him. "You're on speaker."
There was silence for a moment. "You inconsiderate, unsophisticated, temperamental cretin!"
"Anyways," he coughed. "I need you to be available for an emergency Bravo team." He explained the situation. "I also want you to put Scott, Jean, and whoever else you chose for the team."
"Alright, darling. Be safe."
"I will. Love ya, doll."
They hung up, and Spidey stared at Wolverine. "You and the White Queen? Are you kidding?"
"You have your ladies, I have mine."
"But Emma Frost? Man, I bet you can't wait to get home."
Next Time – It's time to enter Castle Doom! But can the Avengers get in without getting captured themselves?
