-Continuum Home World, Madam Elise's Office, The Next Day-
"You wanted to see me?" Crusader asked as soon as he had entered through the mechanical double doors that lead into his worlds ruling elders office. Only to find madam Elise standing out on the balcony of her office overcooking the ocean that spawned for miles beyond.
"Crusader, please have a seat." Elise said in a firm, yet friendly tone as she continued to stare out at the ocean below her balcony. With a small nod of his head, Crusader took a seat in one of the seats in front of Elise's hard wooden desk. A few seconds later Elise walked back into the room and took her seat behind her desk, and Crusader now noticed the serious look in normally calm green eyes.
"Might I ask why you summoned me so suddenly? I was kind of busy after all." Crusader said in an apologetic tone, which earned a brief small smile from Elise.
"Forgive me from pulling you away form your troop movements." Elise began in her own apologetic tone, before getting serious. "But I'm afraid this matter could not wait." Elise informed her leading warrior, which earned a look from Crusader.
"What matter are you speaking of?" Crusader asked his leading lady.
"I have been granted a vision of the future..."
-Meanwhile: Secret Warriors HQ-
"What's going on Daisy?" Rayshaun asked as soon as he, Vixen, and the rest of the Secret Warriors assembled into their newly constructed headquarters computer room.
"We've got a prison break." Daisy informed everyone as she typed some commands into the keyboard and pulled up the mug-shots of two Inhumans who where familiar to the original Secret Warriors, but not to Vixen.
"How in the sam hill did they escape?" Doreen asked quickly as she and Gwen exchanged an angry look at the memories of their last encounter with these two began to bubble to the surface again.
"Who exactly are they?" Vixen asked quickly, for she was honestly clueless as to who these two where.
"The guy is Exile, girl is Sheath." America Daisy explained as she stood up from her computer chair and slipped on her gauntlets. "They are both Inhuman criminals who worked with Hala The Accuser–"
"A Kree I'm guessing?" Vixen asked in an annoyed tone, which earned a surprised look from everyone as they all walked out of the computer room to ready up for the mission. "My father has had run-ins with Kree and the Kree Empire through his duties to observe and protect the Multi-Verse. Not his fondest memories... even the times they didn't try to kill him... If they could have ." Vixens aid slyly.
"Exile more so than Sheath worked with Hala to try and overthrow Humanity, and put the Inhuman's as the new rulers of humanity, and then expand the new empire from there–"
"Luckily we stopped 'em last time before they could recover all the Kree devices from the remains of Hala's ship." Dante said as he began as he said stretching his arms in preparation for the battle ahead. "I have no idea what their plan is now that they've somehow escaped custody, but one thing is for damn certain... they're going back into maximum security."
-Meanwhile: Imperious's Throne Room-
"I take it the plan is in motion?" Vulpine asked as soon as he entered into his masters throne room.
"You presume correct." Imperious confirmed in his deep voice as he waved his hand and showed an apparition showing Exile and Sheath disappearing through a purple and black portal and re-appearing somewhere in the suburbs of New York City. "With a little... intervention, the convoy was ambushed by masked men, allowing Exile and Sheath to escape and they are now on the run in the city." Imperious informed Vulpine.
"When do I go in?" Vulpine asked quickly, which earned a small chuckle from the Dragon Emperor.
"I love your enthusiasm Vulpine... but patience is critical for this matter. But to answer your question, you will know when the time has come to reveal yourself to the girl and her allies."
"Are you sure of this?" Crusader asked in a very serious tone.
"My vision could be wrong admittedly... but every one I've had in my life have never been wrong. They've all been 100 percent accurate." Elise said in sad, yet serious tone, which caused Crusader to rub his chin in contemplation before speaking.
"What can be done, and what do you propose?" Crusader asked.
"We must tell no one of this. This stays between us, and only us. I know you will want to tell Vixen as she is directly involved, but you must swear to tell her nothing, do you swear it?" Elise asked.
"I do." Crusader in an almost sad tone, for he hated keeping secrets from his only child. "Elise there must be something we can do, hope always remains even in the darkest times–"
"I know Crusader, I know." Elise said simply. "There might be something ONE of us can do, but the question is, which of us can do it, and which of us will carry that burden forward?"
To Be Continued...
AN: Top Secrecy, not telling Vixen, and something only one of them can do, what do you thing Crusader and Elise are talking about?
