Lunch rolled around, and Will and the gang as usual sat themselves at Warren Peaces table. Although Warren didn't mind as much as he used to, but some sort of warning he thought would not hurt. Will and Layla gave each other goggle eyes, a sight that had to be seen to be believed. They held hands and played footsys under the table which was all to obvious among the others. They have been together for nearly 3 months. 3 long months of a drugged up bliss in Warrens mind.
"Honey do mind getting me a peanut cup please?" Layla said lovingly to Will.
"Sure Layla I will be back." Will answers.
Will gets up, and heads for the lunch line. Warren,Zack, andEthan quickly get up and follow after Will. Magenta sighs at this, and her and Layla begin to talk about homework. Will strolls on the lunch line as he received high five's and heys from many other students. The other guys catch up with Stronghold as he reachs the line.
"Um….what's up guys?" A confused Will wonders.
"Listen kid….we need to talk to you." Zach says nervously.
Will shrugs.
"About…?" Will wondered.
Warren sighs angrily, as his patients already has run out.
"About you and Layla Stronghold. I'm no expert on romance but you guys are taken this "young love" thing to the extreme. " Warren says trying to sound as harsh as possible.
Will was taken back by this.
"What? Hold on guys I dun get it, how are Layla and I taken our romance to the extreme?" Will wonders.
"Well for starters….you guys sometimes make out in 1st period." says Ethan.
"What. Come on now that was like a one time thing." Will says with a embarrassed smile.
" Okay then…how about you make out on the back of the bus to." adds Zack.
Will had no answer for that one. He just shrugged and went on the lunch line.

Rex and the Pain gang land in a swamp, a fact which confuses and angers Gwen. The bubble around them disperses.
"Excuse me or great criminal mind. But where the hell are we?" Gwen angrily asks.
Rex shakes his head , and then turns back to face Gwen.
"A swamp my dear a swamp." Rex answers coldly.
"Oh I see a swamp. Instead of the stronghold residence we are here… at a swamp!" Gwen yells outs.
Rex then presses a button on his suit, and from nowhere a black oval building appears . The building has a devilish face on the front, and one main door that is accessible through the swamp.
"Now Gwen lets proceed." Rex says.
Gwen and her gang nod in amazement and follow Rex to the building. They reach the main doors. With a waive of his wrist Mason opens the huge black doors. They walk down a long silver hallway filled with antics, and old relics from different cultures.
"I'm an avid collector." Mason comments with a smirk.
"We can tell." Gwen adds. "Now Rexy where are we going?" Gwen asks.
"Here." Rex answers with another waive of his hand.
With that another door opens up at the end of the hallway. Inside over a dozen other colorful villains fill the high-tech room. They go about their business, and briefly stop to acknowledge the Pain gangs presence.
"Wow…Major evil….Overlord…Rhino….Drax the Destroyer..so…many..villains." Speed and lash say together.
"Don't forget about me to." a voice calls out.
Walking up from the shadows is Baron Battle, the father of Warren Peace. Freshly released from maximum security prison.
"Indeed." Gwen adds. "I'm beginning to like your plan Rexy." "We all gang up on the commander and his seed. Brilliant!"
Mason then turns back to face's the pain gang. His face now dead serous.
"I expected more from you Gwen, you should know my plans evolve a lot more then villains uniting. " Rex says Harshly.
"Then what exactly is you hole plan then Mason?" Gwen asks with her arms folded.
Rex briefly laughs.
"Well Gwen. Have you ever heard of the Infinity gems?" Rex asks amusingly.
"Ofcourse…the mythic gems of time and space. Whoever posses all of them would become a living god." Gwen answers.
"Yes, but they are no myth my dear. The 6 gems include Time, space,Power,soul,Mind and reality. In order to wield the gems the owner needs the Infinity gauntlet. Whoever holds all six gems in the Infinity Gauntlet gains omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and God-like power, and has absolute dominion over the universe." Rex adds consumed buy thoughts of the gems.
"Wait…..they are real?" Gwen asks almost in disbelief.
Rex grins, and then grabs Gwen's hand.
"The gems were created by The In-betweener a being who was created when this universe was. The In-Betweener is a cosmic being, an incarnation of balance and duality. In him exist the dualities of life and death, reality and illusion, good and evil, logic and emotion, existence and nothingness, god and man. Before its death the in-betweener locked its powers into the 6 gems, and sent them to the most primitive planet of that time." Rex says with his eyes closed.
"Earth." Gwen finishes.
Rex lets go of Gwen's hand, and the other villains walk up behind him.
"My dear Roiling Pain, with the aid of all these super criminals. The gems locations have nearly been found. We will not only destroy the strongholds, but anything that stands in our way. We will have unlimited power, power which men have only dreamed of through the years. Working together we will rule this and every other world, and then even other universes." Rex states his eyes and face hard and firm.
"Power…Unlimited power!" Gwen adds with anticipation.
"Yes Gwen , and the death of the Commander." Rex states with a smile.
