I don't own Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, KHR, HP, Sherlock, or any Marvel Characters!
Quick Note: Wasn't up to writing yesterday, and I'm not really up to it today, but I'm still going to try and push through the pain left over from my sunburn. I was burned (badly) digging up the garden on Sunday, and yes, it's still fairly painful, but mostly gone on my right arm. The left arm and my ears, however... Can I just say "Ouch!" Not peeling, thankfully. I'm hoping to avoid that annoyance completely, as I've been using HEMPZ brand "After-Sun Cooling Gel & Body Hydrator"... along with drinking a bunch of water. Still looking forward to seeing Endgame this week! Hopefully it ends better than Infinity Wars. There also won't be a chapter tomorrow as I'm being sent to an all day conference by my work. Wish me luck!
foxchick1: Thank you! I'm not sure that everyone got the reference, especially if they haven't seen "Captain Marvel" in theaters, but it was great to hear that it made you laugh. My husband was in a poor mood and I had him read the chapter. While he didn't understand who all of the characters were, he laughed when he got to that certain part, too.
Fisk's Possible Plan
Nana wanted to laugh at Fury's shocked face, but she knew that this needed to be done, "Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, what do you want, Nicholas?"
"Right now, I want Goose and my files," Fury grumbled in annoyance.
"Sorry to contradict you, sir," Maria Hill interrupted his grumbling. "Mrs. Yamamoto-Black, we also need to know what your plans in regards to Captain America and the Avengers? Not to mention these hotels of yours and the others that you've begun to employ..."
"Quite simply, Viper has your files, talk to him. Goose is fine where he's at and free to leave when he wishes. Lastly, we're the Powered People Underground. My plans in dealing with Steve Rogers and his team are to treat them as allies and friends. Now, any idea why Wilson Fisk is trying to steal our property, when the Underground isn't even up and running, nor have the plans about it left this building?" Nana inquired.
"It's not?" Fury blinked at her in confusion, "Then why were you seen at the Xavier Mansion?"
"Because I was seeking a way to help Charles and his students escape, when push comes to shove it will be needed," Nana informed him. "We have a few contingency plans in place and will activate them only if needed. What does that have to do with Fisk going after my business and family?"
"You said he's cozied up to the anti-mutant community. If he's seen that you have the potential to be a major player, and you're colluding with mutants, well..." Fury shrugged at the obviousness of the most likely reason for him to be going after the Hibari Clan. "Then there's the fact that you employed Nelson, Murdock, and Page."
"Okay, you've made your point, but how the hell do I get him off my back and away from us?" Nana frowned in annoyance.
"Mr. Murdock would be best left to dealing with that," Maria Hill stated. "I could even assist him, if you agree to keep Fury's status of living... quiet, among other things."
"That's up to Matt, Xanxus, and Mycroft Holmes. I don't plan to say anything about rumors of your demise being premature, Nicholas. However, if you wish something in writing, I'll have Viper and Matt draw something up for your peace of mind," Nana smirked at him. She knew that she had Fury exactly where she wanted him, even if he hadn't been in her original plan.
"Fine. But I want him to sign it too," Fury glared at Xanxus.
"Not a chance in-" Xanxus began in annoyance, only to have Nana silence him with a look. "Fine, but Viper's writing the contract, Murdock can overview it."
"Is that agreeable, Nicholas? Agent Hill?" Nana asked cheerfully.
"Peachy," Nick Fury snorted.
"That would be agreeable," Agent Maria Hill nodded her assent.
"Then we'll go to see them. Follow me, please," Nana smirked as Goose jumped up to her shoulder. "I'm rather glad you're a nice, well behaved Flerken, Goose. Shall we gentlemen?"
"I blame Coulson," Fury grumbled under his breath.
"Sir, you can't blame Phil for this one, you're the one that attacked her brother," Maria Hill informed him, making sure to keep up her no-bullshit attitude.
"Coulson is the reason that I have this type of luck!" Fury threw up his hands in frustration, not noticing that Nana and Xanxus were both trying not to laugh at how comfortable he was in their presence. It was rather amusing, as he was an unawakened Lightning, while Agent Maria Hill was a Misty-Rain.
Meanwhile, at Xavier's School for the Gifted...
Charles had been yanked from his chair by Logan, as people in military uniforms breached the perimeter of the school. The alarms were blaring angrily, "Everyone stay calm, get everyone into the sub-levels. We will evacuate, now." Charles broadcast to all of the minds of his students and teachers. The few students that had been on the greens of the property raced inside, and those that couldn't were helped in by those that could.
"Chuck, we need to activate that thingy they gave us," Logan barked out as he motioned for the kids to keep moving into the lower levels of the building.
"Underground Sanctuary," Charles stated as they made their way into the sub-levels, only to gape as a portal-like device opened up and on the other side was a lobby, "Everyone, go through the portal. It's safe there. Go now. Help the younger children make it. We will contact your parents and guardians as soon as we are all safe."
At the Hibari New York...
"What the...? Aunt May, why is there a portal and a bunch of kids suddenly streaming into the lobby?" Peter asked his aunt worriedly.
"What? Mr. Yamamoto!" May flagged the man down as she pointed at the lobby where there were a rather large and growing larger group of kids and a few adults coming through a portal.
"Kuso," Tsuyoshi hissed. "It's all right, May, Peter, they're friendlies. Looks like..." Tsuyoshi looked the crowd over, only to locate a large blue mutant with claws and fangs, "It's Xavier's School. They're allies. Must have been an attack if they used the portal. If anyone else does that, let one of the kids or us know. It'll be refugees."
"How should we deal with them?" Peter asked nervously.
"With kindness. I'll help get them settled in and talk to Nana about setting up a procedure for when this happens again," Tsuyoshi sighed. "Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll go deal with them. May, stay here and watch the desk, until we get someone else to help. Peter, get Nana and some of the kids, if you can't find Mai, Skull, or Sirius."
"On it!" Peter raced off through the halls. He skidded to a stop as he almost ran directly into Nana and a one-eyed man that looked like a pirate, "Xavier! Portal! Here!"
"Charles used the portal and they are here?" Nana frowned, something was off, she hadn't seen this coming so soon. "Xanxus, get Nick and Maria to Viper and Matt. Squallo, I need you to come with me, I may need your lung capacity. Peter, lead the way."
"Right!" Peter scrambled to turn around and race back the way he had come.
"Voi, this isn't something you foresaw?" Squallo frowned worriedly.
"It's not," Nana replied coolly.
"Joy," Squallo scowled sarcastically.
"My thoughts exactly," Nana murmured as they followed Peter Parker towards the main lobby.
In the Sanctum...
A large green figure fell through the ceiling, only to shrink into a smallish man. He barely managed to gasp out, "Thanos is coming!"
