Several hours had passed since Kaitlyn and J.J. got to the Baxter Building and the Fantastic Four were still out. Kaitlyn had already texted Raph, explaining why she couldn't join him and his brothers for patrol. In the meantime, Kris had arrived home and gone directly to his room, most likely to play online computer games and avoid doing his homework.
Kaitlyn glanced at the clock.
"Something wrong?" J.J. asked her.
"They should have been home by now." She replied, "Unless the situation is more serious than I thought." She sat up quickly, a sense of worry welling up inside her, "H.E.R.B.I.E., what's the status of the Fantastic Four?"
"Lost communications an hour ago." H.E.R.B.I.E. stated flatly.
"What!? Why didn't you say something?" Kaitlyn demanded.
"Benjamin informed me that you were grounded and that I was to make sure you remained here." H.E.R.B.I.E. whined.
"I think we can make an exception in this case."
"But Miss Grimm! It's too dangerous!" the A.I. protested.
"He's right, Kit Kat. You shouldn't go alone." J.J. told her.
"I won't be alone J.J. But you won't be the one coming with me." Kaitlyn said.
"Because I don't have any 'special' talents?" J.J. asked with a playful smile, referring to her super powers, "Y'know, Batman doesn't either." He held up the Batman comic he was reading.
Kaitlyn smiled, "Not true. He has a life time of training and the title of greatest detective." She got up and walked towards her room. J.J. followed and waited outside her door as she changed into costume. He walked in just as she was about to head out the window. "You said you wouldn't be alone. Did you mean more superheroes?" he asked her.
"Something like that." She leapt out the window, using her super strength to give her enough distance to make it to the next building. J.J. watched from the window as she ran across rooftops.
"Be safe." He said, before leaving the Baxter Building and heading home.

Kaitlyn pulled out her phone and dialed.
"Hey, babe." Raph answered the call.
"Hey. I need to ask a favour." Mystery began, "The F.F. lost communication about an hour ago after dealing with Doctor Doom out in Washington. I was hoping we could take the Shellicopter over to check on them."
"Absolutely. Where are ya? We'll pick ya up." Came his response.
Mystery smiled, "Just left of the Baxter. At the corner of fifth."
"'Kay. Stay put." Raph hung up.
Mystery stopped and waited on the roof. A few moments later, she heard a helicopter rotor in the distance. The sound got louder until Donnie's re-mastered Shellicopter was above Mystery. A ladder was lowered and she quickly climbed it. Raph was at the top to greet her.
"So, what's the story?" He asked her.
"Not sure. The F.F. went to deal with Doom and then nothing." Mystery told him, "We need to get over there and find out what happened."
"Setting course." Donnie spoke from the cockpit.
The Shellicopter flew off, towards their destination.

...

Mystery and the turtles arrived in Washington almost two hours later. Donnie brought the Shellicopter down in an open area that was clear of people and hidden from spying eyes. The group exited the air craft.
"So, what now?" Mikey asked, "It's not like we can go up to someone and ask if a team of superheroes were seen fighting a tin man in a green cloak."
Mystery walked over to the edge of the opening and peered out. "We may not have to." She told them, a confused frown playing on her face.
"What do you mean?" Leo asked. The turtles joined Mystery and saw what she was referring to. The city held visible evidence of a recent battle and was infested with Doombots. The area was clear of any citizens, who probably escaped the city when Doom had first attacked.
"Why are they just standing there?" Don asked.
"The better question is why are they still here when Doom isn't?" Mystery added.
"Could be a trap." Leo suggested.
"For who? Doom doesn't know who we are." Raph told them.
"But he does know we exist." Don reminded them.
"And he knows that we're the ones who ruined his last plan." Mikey began to panic, "He's totally out for revenge!"
The Doombots shot their heads around to face Mystery and the turtles after hearing Mikey's sudden outburst.
"Mikey!" The others scolded.
The Doombots raised their weapons, and began shooting the teens. Mystery sank into the ground as the turtles leapt up and out of the way. Raph threw one of his sais, taking out a Doombot. Mystery shot out of the ground and took out another.
"We need to keep one intact to find out what happened to the Fantastic Four." Mystery told the turtles as they proceeded to destroy several Doombots. Suddenly, another wave of Doombots came out, seemingly from nowhere, and surrounded Mystery and the turtles.
"I don't think that's going to be a problem." Don said.
The Doombots closed in, their weapons raised.
"Doom's word is law." They chanted.
The teens fought back as best they could. Donnie took out his electric throwing stars and shot them at several Doombots. They stuck, but when the electric charge activated, nothing happened.
"Uh oh, "Donnie began, "Doom must have somehow shock proofed his robots. My electric shurikens are useless."
"And when we take out one 'bot," Leo said, slicing his Katana through a Doombot, "Two more just take its place."
"Sounds like Hydra." Mystery said, mostly to herself, "So, what now, Leo? Tactical retreat?" She kicked a Doombot, sending it into two others.
"That appears to be our only option." Leo replied, cutting up a few more Doombots.
"Then hold on," Mystery held out her hands to the turtle brothers, "We're phasing down."
