*One week later...* Reshef managed to take control of almost the entire world by the end of the first week. The only countries he didn't control were Atlantis and Wakanda. Black Panther sealed off Wakanda so they'd be untouchable by Reshef. A lot of people were mad about that, they said he should have let people in first. I wasn't. If Wakanda's untouchable then there's still at least two superheroes out there.
Reshef turned Camp Hammond into a prison for the superheroes he captured, then he used some sort of power-neutrilizer neckbrace to keep anyone from fighting back against him. He also mentioned specialized prisons for other heroes. I'm guessing it depended on how much of a threat he considered them.
I wasn't sure what he was doing with the weapons yet. He was saying something about confiscating them but didn't give away a location, not that it'd matter. He has his people guarding Camp Hammond so he'd definately have more guarding all of the weapons. That was probably where the Leapfrog was. Old Lace and Chase were at Camp Hammond.
There were a ton more there that he captured recently. The entire Fantastic Four, Moon Knight, the Thunderbolts, Falcon, Cage, Spider-Woman, and a bunch of the Initiative heroes I didn't know. Communication between heroes was difficult. To keep Reshef from tracking us we had to buy pre-paid phones, then after that we needed to meet up with another group to just exchange the numbers we had before we split. We didn't want our groups to get too large, they'd be easily suspected. Reshef was looking for us. At this point Miu was home and safe, or at least as safe as you could possibly get with Reshef ruling the world. Xavin and I met back up with Molly, Nico, Victor and Karolina and started to travel with them.

"Jason... where are we going?" Nico asked me.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm really not," I told her. We were driving a van that I stole. Luckily I had my license. Well my fake license. I got it from Fury when I went underground before the registration act. We got lucky that no one ever stoppeed us. I had no idea how to explain what the six of us were doing.
"Are we going to meet up with anyone? I remember you were talking to Echoe about an attack on Reshef's forces. Are we doing anything in that?" Nico asked me.
"Other than observe it? No. It's too soon, to be honest I want to observe how they fight before making a move. They're tough and probably near impossible to defeat," I pointed out.
"Jason... your phone's ringing," Molly told me.
"Who is it?"
"Peter."
"Pick it up, put it on speaker for me," I told her.
"Jason. Hey, Reshef caught Ronin a few hours ago. It's just me, Cap, Daredevil, Cloak, and Dagger now," Nathan told me.
"Who'd you guys fight?" I asked on.
"Xion and a few of those Skrulls."
"Any noticable weaknesses yet?"
"No."
"Damn... someone needs to find something's weakness. We're losing worse than we did in the SCW(Superhuman Civil War). And Reshef's playing for keeps," I said grudgingly.
"Yeah... well on a bright note I got Kitty's number for you, some of the X-Men escaped."
"Really?" I pulled over onto the side of the road and searched the car floor for a pen and paper then copied down the number as Pete read them off.
"Thanks man. You're the best." I needed to know what happened at the X-Mansion. The entire thing was razed and there was no sign of what happened. Did Reshef attack them early on to prevent them from trying to raise a rebellion against him or was it something else? Could it have had something to do with Rachel who, as far as I know, is working with Reshef now?

*Later that night...* I pulled the car over and parked it in an empty parking garage. Xavin turned the car invisible just in case we needed it. By 11 all anyone did was stand around outside the car listening to the radio. I walked off away from them so I could call Kitty.
"Hello?" Kitty answered after three rings.
"Hey Kitty it's me, Jason," I replied.
"Jason? Oh God, wow. I completely forgot about you, I haven't seen you in like forever," Kitty said.
"Yeah. Sorry about that, I've been all over the place lately. I'm in Iowa now. How bout you?" I asked.
"Nevada. Look, Jason there's something I need to talk to you about," Kitty answered with a sigh.
"Okay... is it about what happened to the X-Mansion? I went there last week and it was gone. Did Reshef do it?" I asked.
"No, we had a problem with the Sentinel squad 'standing watch'. They went haywire and the pilot couldn't control them, they attacked," Kitty explained. "A few of the other students died...:
"Oh... Do you know anything about Rachel? Is she with Reshef or-"
"She's with Reshef, no doubt about it," Kitty told me.
"Damn..." I sighed. "I'll keep in touch."
"Bye Jason," Kitty hung up.
At this point I wanted to call Miu but I knew I couldn't. She was safe now, or at least as safe as she possibly could be. She was just another teenager in New York. Yeah, she's a mutant but all she has is superhearing, nothing Reshef would consider dangerous. I was afraid if I called her or contacted her at all Reshef might find out and use her to lure me out in the open. I couldn't risk it. I had to settle for the next best thing which was looking at a picture of her I had with me.

"Hey, Jason? You okay?" Nico emerged from the car and walked over to me while I reminisced.
"Yeah, I just miss Miu, that's all," I replied before putting the photo back in my pocket.
"It must suck... I can tell how much you two are in love," Nico put her hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I can't wait to see her again if we ever get out of this mess."
Suddenly my spider-sense screamed in my head as one of Reshef's Skrulls had appeared in front of us. This one was the one that had the powers of some of the X-Men.
"Aracnor... we meet at least," it greeted me and didn't seem to care about Nico.
"I didn't know I was so popular. You want my autograph?" I tried to hide my fear behind a joke.
"Jason..." Nico stepped back.
"Three. Star. Six." I told her. It was a code. 3*6. It was meant for the Runaways to know to leave without us because we were in danger. I hid my phone behind my back and sent the text. Keeping them out of it seemed the best, there was a good chance that either one of us may get killed or captured right now.
The Skrull didn't hesitate, the first thing he did was shoot an optic blast at the two of us. I grabbed Nico and jumped out of the way.
"Nico, go find something to cut yourself with, I'll hold him off," I instructed.
I lunged at the X-Skrull. He stabbed me in the arm with his claws as I punched him in the face. I flipped over him and then I threw him into a tree. He teleported before he hit it. This meant he had Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Cyclops, and Collosus's powers. Not good for me.
X-Skrull shot an optic blast at me from behind which I barely managed to duck out of the way of. Then I realized something, that's what Nightcrawler did. He was teleporting the same way he would. I shot a webline at him but he teleported again, exactly what I wanted. I spun around and grabbed him as he re-appeared, right in front of me.
I grabbed him and started to punch him as hard as I could. His skin was as tough as Collosus's. I felt like my bones in my hands breaking with every hit but I ignored it while he started to teleport the two of us all over the place in an attempt to throw me off but I refused to let go. The teleporting did make me dizzy though. It was nothing like Wiccan's which felt like I hadn't even gone anywhere.
X-Skrull used this to his advantage when he shot an optic blast at me. I let go easily. For a second I didn't know which way was up but then I hit the ground. Up was left when I landed. I rolled over as my spider-sense went wild. He was shooting optic blasts while teleporting. Bad combo. I had to jump, duck, dive, roll, and do anything else I could to avoid the constant barrage of optic blasts.
"Jason! I got it!" Nico came running back with her Staff of One in hand.
"Duck!" I yelled back as I saved her from an optic blast.
I shot a webline straight forward hoping it would go into one of the portals and it did. Problem was it hit Nico. Not my brightest idea. I jumped back and over to Nico then ripped it off of her and at the same time protected her from the next optic blast. "Okay, we're gonna need a new plan," I told her.
"I can't think of any spells I haven't used," Nico explained.
"You really need to learn Latin," I told her as I grabbed her and jumped into a tree. "Give me a sec to think of something." [I took Latin as my second language class. I guess it finally became useful.]
"Think of what?"
"Latin. Okay... mors, mortis. Varied, is, i. Morti... Skrull?" I muttered as I tried to think of a spell. "Try 'Morti Skrull'!"
"Morti Skrull!" Nico yelled as she pointed her staff at the Skrull. The Skrull stopped teleporting and blasting. It fell to ground and burst open. He died.
We walked over to the body and looked at it. "What'd I do to it?" Nico asked.
"Killed it. Mors means death in Latin, Morti means to death or for death. So the spell was 'Death to the Skrull'. Glad it worked, I can't remember how to say 'kill' in Latin," I explained.
"Why didn't you have me say it in English?" she asked.
"Because we've got more Skrulls to deal with later on and you won't have me with you all the time to give you a Latin spell," I told her.
"Okay. Well let's steal a Latin book from somewhere then. Might as well see if I can find something else on witchcraft too. One time per spell isn't going to cut it much longer."
"Let's get out of here then, before Reshef realizes something's up," I told her as we ran off into the darkness.

*3 months later...*

Nico and I were alone now. We didn't communicate much outside of the two of us and we didn't bump into anyone either. Reshef had caught a lot of people and we were doing our best to avoid that same fate. He had us near the top of his wanted list since we actually managed to kill one of his soldiers. One thing we noticed was he wasn't capturing as many as he used to. There were still a number of us in hiding but at this point he was lucky to get one of us a day. In the beginning he was getting groups of 10 or more.
I woke up the next morning, Nico was still asleep in the other bed. We'd been staying in small motels whenever we could find one. I started pickpocketing people to get some cash for the night(I hated myself for doing it but what choice did I have?). It wasn't much but it was enough. We were managing to get by.
I got up and turned on the tv to the news. Nico woke up during the middle of it as I started to get dressed. "Nothing..." I muttered. I was hoping we'd see something about Echoe's attack on Reshef's forces but it didn't show up yet. I guess that was a good thing. That means the attack didn't happen yet, or it might not even happen at all. Either way I didn't plan on getting involved.

*Elsewhere...*

"Master..." Rachel entered Reshef's control room.
"Yes Rachel?" he asked.
"At the rate we're going at now it'll take years to capture all of the superheroes," she pointed out.
"What do you suggest then?"
"They're superheroes. Just because they're hiding it doesn't mean that they've changed that. I say we hire every super villain we can find into causing crimes throughout the country. The heroes will come out to stop them. After the villains wear them down then we send in some of our guys for the capture," Rachel explained.
