Pietro was outside, sitting under the bleachers. Everything was still frozen. He hugged his knees and buried his face on them.
'Why? Why is this happening?'
"Hello, Pietro."
Pietro lifted his head up. He saw a man near the bleachers. He crawled out and stood up. The man had brown hair and brown eyes. He had a goatee and mustache. He wore green with a purple cape and a tall purple-ish hat thing on his head.
"Who are you?" asked Pietro.
"Call me Immortus. I know what you're going though, Pietro."
"How do you know me? And what do you mean you know what I'm going though?"
"Like you, I also manipulate time."
"What? Really? You can control time too?"
Immortus nodded.
'He must've sent me the gloves,' thought Pietro.
"I can help you, Pietro."
Three more people showed up. One was a man with green skin, pointed ears, green eyes, and his hair was short and dark green. To Pietro, he looked kinda like a reptile. Another was was a man with blue skin, black hair, and dark brown eyes. Aside from his blue skin, he looked human. The last one was a woman who looked like a cat person. She had cat-like eyes, a cat tail, and other cat characteristics.
"These are some friends of mine," said Immortus. "Them and I, and others, have formed a team called the Space Phantoms. We help people like you control their gifts. We travel the universe to find and help those in need."
"Travel the universe? You mean you don't just help mutants on Earth? You go to others planets?" asked Pietro. "Those guys are aliens?"
"That's right."
'Wow! Real aliens!'
Pietro took a good look at Immortus, then at the aliens, then back at Immortus.
'Something about them just makes me uneasy. And the Space Phantoms? That doesn't sound like a friendly name.'
"You really want to help me?" asked Pietro.
"Yes," said Immortus.
Pietro didn't like the look in Immortus's eyes. He took a step back.
"Pietro, run!"
Pietro turn his attention to a boy wearing a ski mask.
"Immortus is feeding you lies! He doesn't want to help you! He and his Space Phantoms are evil! He wishes to take over the whole universe!"
The three aliens attacked the boy.
Immortus grabbed Pietro hands.
"You're coming with me!"
"NO!" yelled Pietro.
He pulled away, the gloves slipped off. Pietro ran away at super speed.
Immortus or Nathaniel Richards (not Mr. Fantastic's father) is from the comics. His powers are Time Manipulation, Energy Blasts, Superhuman Strength, Intelligence, and Endurance, and Immortality. He's a time traveler out to control all of history.
The Space Phantoms are his lackeys. They're made up of mutants, aliens, and other creatures.
