I'm trying to do a better job of posting these so I hope you haven't waited to long. Also by the lack of reviews I guess my last two chapters have been lacking. I hope this one is an improvement and I have gotten back on the next track. I hope to have the next chapter posted soon.

New York City underground subway station 7:15 am

"Let's move it along people, we all have places to go. Hey you, pick up that cigarette and find a trash can. This place isn't your own personal dump." Yelled one of the security guards for the station.

He was joined by eleven other officers patrolling through the station through the early hours. The increase for security was due to the circumstances of 9/11. New York had taken major damage and had beefed up security on all forms of transportation. A lot of the people were catching the train during this hour to get to work.

"I tell you Frank, these people are monsters in the morning. They will run or push over whoever they think is the way. There has to be a better way to board these people without all the chaos." Said an officer.

"Well when you think of one Joey tell me about it. Until then stop complaining and search the next guy in line. These people are getting restless and getting on my nerves. Mix those two together and get ready for an explosion." Responded Frank.

"Don't bitch at me, I offered to stop for coffee on the way over here. Your the one who insisted we rush here." Complained Joey.

"And I regret it, now shut up and scan the next guy. I don't want to have to be here any longer than I have to." Said Frank.

Joey let out a breath before turning around and motioning for the next man to come through. The next person turned out to be a teen with fiery red hair and a smug smirk plastered on his face. The kid put his hands in the air and waited to be searched. Joey did so by first patting the kid down and finding nothing. Next he used his metal detector over the teen's body to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Once he was satisfied he steeped aside to let the kid through.

"Alright your clean kid, move along so I can get the next guy." Joey said.

"You sure, I don't think you searched my crotch. You were down there so long I almost get a woody." Said the teen laughing.

Joey held in his disgust and also the impulse to knock the kids block off.

"I don't have time for this, move it along before I have you locked up." Said Joey turning from the teen and waving for the next person in line to step forward. He continued to hear the kid laughing while walking away but kept his attention to his current.

"Like the way you handled the man cop. I got it all on video, you want to see yourself?" Asked another teen wit baggy chlothes waving a camcorder around pointing it right at Joey.

"Yeah, to make sure you have a tape in there and not some kind of weapon." Said Joey reaching for the camcorder.

"You think I'm some kind of terrorist? That's cold dog, I thought all of us were coming together since that." Said the teen letting the man take the camcorder.

Joey ignored him and opened the camera up. He saw a tape and took it out to examine it carefully. Satisfied he put it back in and gave it back to the kid. He then searched and scanned him like the others.

"You're clean, next." Said Joey.

"Cool, smell you later cop." Said the teen still directed the camcorder side to side of the station.

On the other side of him Frank was finishing up on some small geeky kid with classes.

"Next." Said Frank pushing the boy aside and moving on to the next person.

"Watch it cop!" Yelled the boy upset.

"Watch yourself kid, I'm busy." Said Frank not even turning around to face the kid.

The boy looked at the cops back in rage feeling himself start to lose control.

"You don't want to make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Said the boy as his shirt started to slowly rip.

Frank was becoming annoyed by the little egg head and turned around to tell the kid off when he heard his partner yell beside him.

"Either you take the coat off or I'll rip it off of you." Joey yelled to the teen in front of him.

"I told you, I got no weapons, just let me pass." Said the teen. He was black and somewhat muscled with an irritated frown on his face.

"And I'm telling you the metal detector doesn't lie. Now open up the coat and do it slowly. On wrong move and-" Joey trailed off moving his right hand to the gun around his waist.

The teen let out a breath of annoyance. Then suddenly a wide smile appeared on his face.

"Fine you want to see what's under the coat, I'll show you." He said. He then threw off the large coat showing several metal tentacles wrapped around his stomach.

"What the hell." Yelled Joey pulling out his gun to fire.

But he was too slow as one of the tentacles uncoiled itself around Chainlink and swatted the gun from Joey's hand. Before he could recover two more tentacles impaled his chest and throat. The one to the chest had hit the heart and he died all most instantly. The rest of the people quickly panicked and yelled in horror.

Frank was almost mesmerized by what he had just seen. But he quickly shook himself of it when anger over rode all other emotions. He reached for his gun intending to blow the brains out of the teen who had just killed his partner. He was stopped however when a strong hand gripped his stopping him from getting his fire arm. He looked down and saw that it was a large purple hand. He then looked up and saw that a large purple beast was attached to the hand. He had no idea that the geeky kid he had pushed aside was the meta human known as Tantrum. Not that he had much time to think about it.

"Holy mother of-

"He never finished as Tantrum brought down his free hand in a fist and smashed it into Frank's head. His head went down into his neck and cracked it as well as his spine. His body fell over limply and Tantrum let him go.

Police started to converge on the two Metahumans as the people continued to scream and head for the exits at the top of the stairs. But the exit was quickly cut off as fire balls smashed above them bringing down brick and steel closing off the exit of escape. Now the people were even more in panic and ran over each other trying to find some place to hide.

The fiery red head known as Hot Streak looked on in satisfaction in what he had done. The boss had made it clear that the death count had to be high to impress the investors. He had no problem with that. He and the others had been forced to lay low for a long time and were anxious to finally get some action. He would make sure the investors saw just what they were capable of.

Hot Streak turned and saw the police fighting to get to him over the crowd that was running all over the place. He also saw some engage in combat with his fellow metahumans. He knew they could handle themselves and concentrated on his own tasks. He charged up and allowed his entire body to be surrounded my flames. He then formed two giant fire balls in each hand. If the people were in the cops way, he would simply remove them. With a cruel laugh he let loose both fire balls and charged forward to meet the challenge head on.

Shortly after killing the young cop Chainlink threw him aside to a cop approaching him. His throw had been dead on and the dead cop knocked into the live one sending them both to the ground. Chainlink saw more coming and grabbed and man and a woman with his tentacles and held them in front of him as a shield. Just as he expected the cop raised their guns but did not fire. Chainlink laughed at their weakness to not endanger innocent lives. The longer he and his group stayed alive the longer so called innocent lives would be at risk.

"Put them down now, or we will shoot. This can only end badly for you if you continue your present course of action." Yelled one of the cops over all the chaos.

"Your bluffing and we both know it. Now drop those guns or I will tear these two apart." Chainlink yelled back.

"Please help me, I don't want to die!" Yelled the woman with tears rolling down her eyes.

The trio of cops looked at each other not knowing what to do. They knew they were dead if they dropped their weapons. But if they didn't did the hostages would die, it was a no win situation.

"Times up." Said Chainlink and threw both of them at the cops.

The officers were caught completely off guard by the tactic and two were knocked down. The one still standing turned back and fired at Chainlink. But the bullets only ricocheted of his four metal tentacles while the remained tentacles acted as his feet bringing him to the cop quickly. Once in range one of the tentacles grabbed the gun and crushed it. The cop backed up and tripped over his own two feet falling backwards and landing on his back. He was dazed but looked up and saw Chainlink hovering over him.

"I guess you choose option three, you all die." He heard right before two tentacles came down and punched through both eye sockets.

"Damnit, he won't stand still long enough for us to get a clear shot at him." Yelled one of the officers while shooting at Tantrum who was jumping all around the place avoiding gunfire. It didn't help that they were constantly bumped into by people running around looking for some kind of escape.

"I repeat we need back up at B2. All exits have been closed off and we are under attack by people with special powers. We need help now." Yelled a cop into his radio.

"Get those people on the train and tell that conductor to get it out of here. That is the best chance of escape." Yelled another cop.

"The train can't go anywhere. Some people have already run down the tunnel for escape. If the train moves down it will kill them all." Came the response.

"Christ, can this day get any worse. Fine, have the conductor close and seal the doors for the people inside the train. At least that might give them some protection from these freaks." The cop yelled back.

Just as he finished Tantrum stomps hard on the ground on his landing sending pieces of tiles as well as bodies everywhere by the impact.

"Damnit when is the back up going to get here." Yelled a cop.

"I can't reach anybody, I just get static. I did reach the conductor and he is closing the train doors now." Said another cop slowly getting back to his feet.

"Thank god, at least one thing is going right." Said the senior officer in exasperation.

No sooner than he finished that statement did a small flood came washing through the subway. It knocked over several people until ramming into the train. The water then somehow squeezed through and went inside the train car. Then in a matter of seconds one of the train cars was filled with water drowning the people inside who were trapped.

"My god, get those doors open." Came a yell.

But nothing happen and the senior officer turned his head to the front of the train where the driver was. At least he had been. His lifeless body was now being hung in the air by the teen with metal tentacles. He looked back to the train car with people inside banging on the plastic windows trying to escape. But it was hopeless, they couldn't break the plastic glass and the diver was now unable to open the doors annually. Add to that half the station was ablaze with fire and a giant purple monster was smashing everything in sight.

The cops looked on in anger and despair on what was happening around them. It was like the terrorists attacks all over again. But they would not quit. They had a job to do and would give their lives doing it if needed.

"Give them everything you got men, we aren't going down without a fight." Said the senior officer as he turned and released his entire clip at Hot Streak twenty feet away from him.

Hot Streak was caught off guard by the sudden assault and took one to the chest as another one took out a part of his ear.. His bullet proof vest prevented the one from the chest from doing any real damage but nothing could protect his ear. He grabbed his ear in disbelieve and rage. He turned to the cop who shot him and fire swirled around his body in dark waves.

"That's it, you have done it now. It's time you see what I can really do, SUPER NOVA!" He yelled as his body became as bright as the sun and a sphere of fire flew out in al directions.

The cops had no time to react as the wave of heat came at them. They merely screamed their defiance and were incinerated along with many other people around them. The station itself rocked from the awesome power and it started to cave in on itself. The force even knocked the train off its rail and onto its side crushing many people still trapped inside. The heat even melted the metal giving many a quick death and some second and third degree burns.

When the light finally dimmed from the station there were very few living people left.

"Damn Hot Streak, how about a little warning before you do something like that. I barley made it out the blast range." Said a teen with a camcorder over his shoulder. There were two others filming as well.

"Hey, that cop pissed me off by taking out my ear. He and the rest of these people deserved what they got." Said Hot Streak still angry about his bloody ear.

"Whatever, I think its time we go. That little light show is sure to get attention even if we did jam all radio signals. Its time to call our ride." Said Chainlink with his clothes somewhat charred from his teammates attack."

"I agree, we have done significant damage here, it is time we go." Said Aquamaria having left the train and the dead bodies inside.

"Find, grab Tantrum and get us out of here." Said Hot Streak getting tired of all the talking.

The others agreed and one of the normal teens took out a device and pushed a few numbers. A black portal opened up in front of them. Aquamaria brought back a slightly calmer Tantrum and they all went into the portal leaving the damage they had done behind.

Atlanta Airport 1:15 PM

A portal opened up inside the men's bathroom and Boom, Shiv, Saberwolf, Hyde, and Whirlwind walked out of it. The two men who were inside were startled and turn to run out. They never made it to the door. One man was killed by an energy knife to the head thanks to Shiv. The other was blasted in the back by sonic waves from Boom and sent crashing into the wall with a crack and dropped down motionless.

"Check the stalls, we don't want anyone to ruin our surprise." Said the 7 foot rock creature Hyde.

The others nodded and checked the stalls finding no one else in the bathroom.

"Alright, the boss says once in position we create chaos for no longer than five minutes. Then we all meet back at the rendezvous site. That way by the time the Justice League or the Avengers get here we will be long gone." Said Hyde looking over the others.

"Look, we all know the plan, now lets get on with it." Said Boom.

"Yeah, I'm ready for some action after all the hiding we have been doing. I only wish we could stay longer." Complained Shiv.

The purple werewolf Saberwolf nodded its head in agreement with saliva dripped from its mouth and sharp teeth.

"Shut up, you know the plan and you will stick to it. You know that if the superheroes don't make us pay Big Red will." Said Hyde.

They all shuddered at that knowing what their new leader was capable off. He had no special powers, but he was dangerous. They all knew that if he wished he could destroy them at any time with his inventions. None of them wanted to face his wraft.

"Good, Saberwolf activate your holographic imager. Me and you can't pass for human." Said Hyde activated his own device the Red Skull had given them.

Saberwolf did the same and he now looked like a teen he used to be instead of the monster that he now was. With that they all walked out the bathroom and went their separate ways.

Shiv headed to one of the bars while Boom and the disguised Hyde went to the lower levels of Baggage claim. Saberwolf and Whirlwind made their way to the upper levels where the loading and unloading of passengers took place. In all it took a little over 10 minutes for all of them to get into their positions. They would all attack on the agreed upon signal. Feeling enough time had passed Whirlwind stepped forward to a passenger loading dock of one of the planes. He was stopped by a woman stewardess that had several tickets in her hand.

"Ticket please." She said to him politely showing no offense to his obvious weight problem.

"I don't have a ticket, but I am going on that plane." Said Whirlwind with a smile matching hers.

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you aboard without a ticket. Perhaps there is some other way I can be of assistance to you." She said still with a smile.

"There is actually, you can move aside or be pushed aside. The choice is yours, so I suggest you make it quickly." He said loosing the smile.

The woman lost hers as well and made a hand gesture behind him telling security that they had some kind of problem. Three officers started walking that way.

"I suggest they you turn around and leave sir. Or these gentlemen will be forced to escort you." She said. Three men now surrounded Whirlwind.

Whirlwind looked around and saw that the cops had their hands on their guns ready to fire if he created trouble. He knew that they didn't expect to use them. They just wanted him to know the threat that they had them. For most people this would be more than enough and they would retreat. But Whirlwind wasn't most people, and he had every intention of keeping his word to the woman.

"Choice two it is." He said spreading his arms out quicker than the cops could respond. Suddenly strong currents of wind spread out from his body sending the officers flying through the air. Before the woman could recover she found herself trapped inside a small hurricane and spun several times in the air. He quickly became sick from the motion and threw up sending the bile right back in her face. Whirlwind grew tired of her and directed the hurricane away from him so that the door was now clear. He then took to the air on his air currents and flew inside the door going into the plane.

One officer had broken his ankle on the fall and was struggling to get up. Another was calling for back up on a situation that he had no idea how it had happen. The final officer rose to his feet with his gun raised prepared to go in after the teen. He took only one step before feeling sharp teeth bite into his neck from behind. He became paralyzed with pain and couldn't move any further. He then felt the teeth tightened momentarily before pulling back and ripping out half his neck and lungs. The cop fell to the ground grabbing his neck weakly all ready knowing he was going to die.

Saberwolf looked up from his fallen prey and swallowed the meet he had taken. His thirst for meet and blood was now high that he had a taste and he intended to have more. He heard screams around him and heard the heavy footsteps running away from his direction. But he didn't care about any of that. He looked at the two officers who still posed a threat to him. He got down on all fours and rushed at one of the cops grabbing for him gun. He pounced on the man nailing the hand with the gun to the ground. He looked at the mans terror filled eyes and it only strengthen his hunger. He put his head down took a bite out of his neck as well.

He was stopped from his feeding by a pain in his shoulder. He immediately jumped to his feet and saw the smoking gun of the man still sitting down. He could tell that something was wrong with the mans leg and that meant they he was injured prey. He wasted no time in dashing at him. The cop shot at him several time but he used his animal speed to avoid it. He then slashed out with his claws removing most of the mans face. The cop tried to cry out but his ruined mouth made it impossible. Saberwolf turned his attention away from him determining him no longer a threat. He then looked up as saw two carts with two officers in each. He wet his lips knowing that his fun was far from done.

Meanwhile Whirlwind had made it inside the plane with SaberWolf distracting security inside. The people were shocked to see him but even more so when they found themselves lifted from their seats and thrown in different directions throughout the plane. Bodies crashed into wall as well as other bodies. As a result many bones were broken and a few even lost their lives. There was no defense against the tornado inside the airplane. The people could only yell for mercy knowing deep in their hearts that there would be none.

Whirlwind decided he had spent enough time here and released the tornado causing all the broken bodies to drop to the ground. Not even those who had seatbelts had been spared from his fierce power. He floated over the broken and moaning bodies to the airplanes side door. He pushed it open and flew out of the plane and over it. H looked all around his at the magnificent air field. It was almost a shame to destroy it. He then summoned his power and slowly started to lift the airplane off the ground. This was a hard thing even from him but he slowly did it. He then used his wind power and threw the airplane into another that was on the ground. The impact of both airplanes caused a huge explosion and the ground even shook. Whirlwind smiled as the signal was now given.

Hyde felt the shake of the ground as well as the rest of the people on the ground floor. He smiled knowing that it was now his and Boom's turn. He looked across the room at Boom near the check in desk and gave him a small nod. Boom returned the nod and turned to the people in line making reservation and checking schedules. He opened his coat and let sonic blast go from his stomach smashing into the computer consoles. Just as he intended they exploded sending flames in all directions. He then turned his body sending more sonic blasts into the people in line who were still shocked by what had happen.

Hyde saw a few officers running towards boom and picked up one of the luggage racks over his head. He then threw it at them hitting them head on and sending them all to the ground. He then saw some guy trying to run past him and Hyde put his arm out chlothes lining the guy and nearly taking his head off. Hyde then deactivated the device so that all the people could see his true form.

Hyde then felt bullets hitting his back and turned around seeing police shoot at him from a cart driving right at him. He ran right at it ignoring the bullets as they ricochets off his heard rock skin and even hit some bystanders. Then when in range he brought his fists down into the cart effectively stopping it in its place. The cops when flying off from it from the sudden impact and hit the ground hard. Hyde stepped on one of their heads completely caving in the skull. He then grabbed the others arm and squeezed it forceing the cop to drop his gun. Hyde than spun the man around a few times before letting him go sending the body hard through the glass doors to the outside. The bloodied from remain motionless and made no attempt to move.

Boom himself had blasted 4 more cops from far away with his sonic blasts. He knew that the airport was caught completely off guard by the attack and that was why security was slow to respond to their invasion. He also knew that is was about time to meet up at the rendezvous. How much fun he was having he didn't want to deal with the Justice League or the Avengers just yet. The boss had big plans for them and revenge would come in due time. Boom looked around seeing that the chaos gave him his chance to flee so he turned just to do that. At least he started to until a foot landed in his path and he found himself flat on his face. He became angry and got back on his feet as quickly as he could to destroy whoever had tripped him. A lot of his anger dissolved when he came face to face with the culprit.

"I don't want to hurt you but you will stop what you are doing. I will not allow you to take any more lives." Said Dove to him.

Hyde looked across the room and saw the trouble that Boom was in. He cursed to himself and started to make his way over to help. But he was stopped when someone grabbed his shoulder. Hyde raised his fist and turned intending to bash the stupid person who had touched him. Instead he was rocked by a fist to the face and he stepped back a few spaces. Hyde recovered and looked at the man who had just him in.

"You're not going anywhere rock boy, your fights with me." Said the muscular Hawk.

From inside his headquarters the Red Skull was looking at the current events with a frown. The team destroying the airport had mini cameras attached to their ears instead of actual men with camcorders. He was viewing all their actions at the same time on several monitors that his men were working. Also he had his dimensional transporter working thanks to his time in limbo. He supposed he owed Captain America for that. He would repay him by ripping his head off with his bare hands.

But for now he had another problem that called for his attention. The Justice League had showed up faster than he had anticipated. So far it was only two of them put he knew more could show. He also knew that his men were no match for the Justice League one on one. He had to change the odds in his favor. He then turned to one of the screens seeing Shiv finish up slicing people in one of the restaurants. He directed one of his technicians to patch him through to him.

"Shiv, get down to baggage claims. The Justice League has showed up. I want you to go down their and help them." Said Red Skull.

"You got it Boss." Answered Shiv into the head phone and ran down the escalator to meet the request.

Red Skull looked at the other screens seeing that Saberwolf had things well in hand. He then saw Whirlwind pick up another airplane and prepare to throw it at the airport itself. He knew his prospective clients were seeing this as well and that the mayhem would please them. He also knew that would enjoy what was still to come. If all else failed his men had back up to ensure that they came out victorious.

Boom wasted no time with words and let loose a sonic blast from his chest. Dove used his more than average speed to dodge the blast.

"Everybody stay down." Yelled Dove while avoiding the blast.

The people in the airport did so and the sonic waves flew harmlessly over their heads.

"Stop running you coward and fight me." Yelled Boom continuing to blast at him.

"Physical altercation is a last resort. My skills are superior to yours and allow me to avoid that option." Said Dive continuing to avoid.

Boom became even more enraged by the insult to his ego and let loose even more powerful sonic blasts. The walls were literally collapsing on themselves from his blasts People were running for cover to avoid the debris. Dive saw this and knew that he had to put a stop to the teen to avoid any more lives. So in a burst of speed he faked left and went right. Boom fell for it and missed Dove completely. Then before he knew it Dove was behind him and preformed a leg sweep. Boom lost his balance and fell on his back with his sonic blast still going. As a result the sonic blasts hit the ceiling above him and collapsed it. Boom yelled in fright as the pieces came down upon him and he became trapped underneath even unable to use his power.

Dove looked down at the wreckage knowing that the boy had survived but was out of the fight. He hated to hurt him like that but the teen had given him no other option. As he was about to remove the wreckage to dig him out he felt something slam into the side of his head and his world became blurry. He tried to regain control but felt another crack to his head and he lost consciousness.

Shiv looked down at Dove with his energy weapon in the shape of a mallet held above him. The hero had became relaxed with his defeat of Boom and it had been easy to surprise him. Knowing he would be out for a while Shiv turned his attention to the buried Boom. He turned his hands into two energy shovels and started to dig through the debris to free him teammate.

While that was going on Hawk and Hyde was exchanging vicious blows. Hyde swung for Hawk's head only to meet air. He then felt himself lifted of the ground from a uppercut that he never saw coming. Hyde managed to stay on his feet but was rewarded with a kick to the face followed up by a double fist slam to the back. Hyde was forced to his stomach from the blow and had trouble rising. That changed quickly as he found himself now being held over Hawk's head. Refusing to give up Hyde raised his fist and slammed it into Hawk's right hand. Hawk's hand shook and Hyde slipped off of Hawk and stood back on the ground. He then smashed a fist into Hawks gut. Hawk bent over and Hyde took the oppturntity to hook his arms around Hawks head. But Hawk surprised

Him by putting his arms around Hyde's waist and lifting the rock giant in the air. Hawk then fell back slamming Hyde right on his back and neck. The pain forced Hyde to release the head lock and Hawk took the chance to get to his feet. Standing tall and breathing hard he put his foot on Hyde's neck pressing down on it.

"You move a muscle and I will break your neck. Even if you have rock for brains you know I will do it." Said Hawk looking down at him.

Hyde looked up at him in pain and hate, but made no move to rise.

"I suggest you get off my friends neck before I take your friends." Said a voice.

With his foot still on Hyde Hawk turned to see who had spoken. His eyes widen when he saw a man with a sword for a hand holding it to Dove's neck. Dove seemed dazed and unable to fight for himself. Beside them was a teen with a big circle in the middle of his chest.

"I won't say it again. You got ten seconds before I take your friends head." Said Shiv moving the blade closer to show his point.

Hawk saw red but knew that he had no choice. He slowly removed his foot from Hyde's neck and took a few steps back. Hyde rubbed his neck before getting to his feet looking at Hawk with hatred.

"Your friends fine, now release him." Said Hawk controlling his anger and impulse to attack them all.

"A deals a deal, at least this time. The next time we meet I won't be so giving." Said Shiv releasing Dove who fell t his knees.

"Good work Shiv, now is just one thing left to do before we go." Said Hyde.

He then turned in a flash and gave a wicked cross to Hawk's face catching him completely off guard. Hawk stumbled and fell to one knee. He was forced to his back when hit by Boom's power.

"Just to make sure you don't try t follow us." Said Boom spiting out a tooth. His body ached with pain and he bled from the mouth. He wanted to kill Dove for what happen to him but knew they couldn't afford the Justice League's vengeance at the moment. He had to take comfort in the cheap shot he just had.

With the two heroes down the three metahumans turned and ran to meet at the rendezvous site.

Put the plane down now." Said S.T.R.I.F.E. to Whirlwind who currently had another airplane in the air prepared to crash it into something else.

"Do what he says or you will be sorry." Added Stargirl who was flying beside him.

Whirlwind looked at the two heroes and knew he didn't have time for this. He had to make it to the rendezvous site to greet the others or he would be left behind. He also knew that these two wouldn't let him pass unless he did something to distract them.

"Fine you want it, you can have it. Catch!" he yelled throwing the airplane at them directly.

S.T.R.I.F.E. and Stargirl wasted no time in reacting. Stargirl used her rod to shoot out a beam slowing down the airplanes descent. S.T.R.I.F.E. then flew up and used his robotic armor to push against the airplanes belly. Combining their strengths they were able to stop the airplane but just barely. They slowly started dropping to the ground to prevent it from exploding or hurting anyone who may be inside.

This gave Whirlwind the chance he needed and he flew away from them and back to the airport building. He then shot air currents forwards destroying a wall and flew inside. He felt himself weakening and knew that he had to get to the rendezvous site quickly or he would be vulnerable.

Saberwolf looked at his surroundings and he too knew it was time to go. His bloodlust had been satisfied and it was time to join the others. He got on all fours and ran seeing no one around him. They had ran away long ago after his attack with the cops. So he had a clear lane to the site.

Eventually all five metahumans met up at the utility room. Seeing that they were all present they contacted the Red Skull to bring them home.

"They're ready, type in the coordinates and bring them back. The Justice could be on them in a matter of minutes." Ordered the Red Skull to the technicians running his interdimesional portal.

The technicians moved immediately to follow his orders and typed in the commands. Soon the portal appeared both in the headquarters and the Utility room where the metahumans were at. The five Metahumans immediately ran in and found themselves back in the Headquarters they had originally left from.

"Mission accomplished boss, though we did run into some trouble." Reported Hyde.

Yes, I viewed the entire thing on the monitors. You all did good work. The Justice League appeared faster than I anticipated but you did not panic. Although because you were seen they will be on higher alert for us. I will have to cancel the rest of the tests and call back the one already in progress. I hate to do it but to do otherwise could be dangerous. Either way I think our clients have seen enough to get the general idea."

He then walked away from the five and back to the numerous monitors before him. The team in progress was at Las Vegas. Everything was going smoothly as SpeedWarp was using his super speed to steal the Casinos blind before they even realized they were robbed. Also Replay was using his copies to commit several crimes and outnumbering the police. On another screen it showed the winged Talon using her sonic screech to tear down building after building. He knew that Vegas and its investors such as business men and the mob were losing big money. He knew sometimes hitting the pocket was worst killing people. They were doing a good job he had to bring them back before the Justice League caught on.

"Speedwarp, Replay, and Talon return immediately. The Justice League is on high alert and your chances of getting caught have increased. Meet at the rendezvous in three minutes. I will teleport you out then." Red Skull said before breaking the connection.

He turned away and thought about his next step. He would have to speak to his prospective clients to see if they were impressed. They had no need to know that he had planned more destruction and stopped. He could simply say he was showing them a taste of what his men could do. Yes, that would work just fine. For now he waited for his last team to come in and then the negoations would begin.

"Hawk come in, what is your status? Have you tracked down those people responsible for the attack?" Asked J'onn from inside the Watchtower.

"No damnit, there is no trace of them. Even with those cheap shots I managed to tail them to one of the Utility rooms. But when I got inside there was no one there. It's like the guys just disappeared into thin air." Said Hawk pissed off.

"Calm yourself brother, you know such a thing is impossible. They must have escaped some other way without us noticing." Came the voice of Dove.

"Where, through the vents? You and I both checked, there is no way those guys could have fit." Argued Hawk.

The brothers continued their argument but J'onn was in no mood to hear it. He switched off to the other team there.

"S.T.R.I.F.E, what is the damage situation? Also have you found any clues to the whereabouts of the one responsible?" He asked

"Its bad here J'onn, we are still trying to put out the fires from all the explosions. The causalities are somewhere in the triple digit range. The wounded too. As far as the guy responsible we have no clue where he went. He blasted through a wall back inside and passed a lot of people but they were keeping their heads down. They have no idea where he went. Can't say I blame them, this is a real mess down here. I think you should send so more guys to help with the clean up, we have our hands full." He said.

The Martian shook his head at the damage report. He assured S.T.R.I.F.E he would send more help before closing the connection. At the moment they didn't have a clear description of those responsible but that would come in time with more interviews. But what he did know was that none of the descriptions fit those of the Legion of Doom. According to the reports the League on the scene had given these monsters were kids, most likely teens. That gave him a good idea who was responsible but he had to check it out first. So he contacted Avenger headquarters on a secure line and asked for Static. Eventually Static appeared on the screen waving him a hello.

"Hey J'onn, what can I do for you?" Static.

J'onn then proceeded to give him details on the people described in the attack. The more he talked he saw Static's smile turn into a large frown.

"You ca stop there J'onn, I know who you are talking about. Though let me get Gear in here. He has bios on all these guys downloaded on Backpack.

A few minutes later Gear appeared on the screen and listened to the story as well. He then gave the information to his computer Back pack and names and bio's came up.

"The rock creature is defiantly Hyde. His main power his strength and strong defense with his rock hard body. The sonic blasts guy is probably Boom, they shoot from his stomach. The energy weapons can only be Shiv, a known assoasiate of Ebon who leads the Meta Breed. Then Saberwolf is obvious. Lastly the fat guy controlling the wind has to be Whirlwind. During our last encounter with them they were part of the newly formed Ultra Meta Breed. We haven't heard anything from them since they broke out so we figured they were planning something big." Said Gear.

"Yeah, but nothing like this. Understand, these guys are criminals and have no problem killing people if they get in the way of what they want. But by what you said the attacks had no purpose what so ever besides killings. These guys are thieves, they have never went out their way to kill people in the past. But now that has changed, and this makes them even more dangerous. I don't know what Ebon is doing, this just doesn't sound like his style." Said Static confused.

"Perhaps the one you call Ebon is no longer running things." Suggested J'onn.

"Maybe, be even if that was true Hot Streak would be next in line. He is a physco but this attack shows more brain and planning than he is capable off." Said Gear.

"As they are your enemy I will take your world for it. But whatever the case someone is directed to do these things. We also have reports of a massacre in a New York subway station that super powered people were involved in. The reports are less than conclusive because of the few survivors and those that did are too scared to talk." Said J'onn.

"Jesus, this just gets worst and worst. Have there be any other attacks?" Asked Static hoping the answer was no.

J'onn hesitated for a moment before answering.

"It is possible this Ultra Meta Breed had attacked Vegas streets as well in Nevada. I dispatched a team but have yet to hear back. I do not like what is happening. Cadmus was one thing, we don't need this to add to our problems." Said J'onn.

"I agree, because if the Ultra Meta Breed has truly turned for the worst the Avengers will be needed more than ever. You originally had Cap form us because of the duo threat of Cadmus and the Legion of Doom. Despite the Legion of Doom's forces being cut they are sill a threat. Together we could have had a chance of handling them, but now…." Gear trailed off.

"But now we could be fighting a war from three sides instead of two. And the Ultra Meta Breed is proving just as fierce despite the other two have more experience." Finished J'onn.

"Yeah, this secret war just got a whole lot more complicated. And I am afraid that the odds are no longer in our favor." Said Static with a worried frown on his face.

J'onn said nothing sharing Static's feelings. With this new group in play and their new attitude they were all in trouble. The Justice League had never faced such odds and the Avengers were still relatively new. If they wished to survive against such overwhelming forces both groups would have to fight harder than they ever had before. J'onn looked up at the ceiling letting a heavy breath. He knew deep in his heart that they would loose people. The only question was how many, and would any survive at all.
