Garrett's apartment, 2:30 Am

Garrett's alarm began blaring in his apartment. He almost wanted to throw the offending object but stopped himself.

The reason behind Garrett waking up so early was due to the awakening of his powers. He now decided to wake up earlier every day so he could work out his new abilities and get a better understanding of what he could do.

Another reason he was set on doing this was because he found out he had a healing factor of some sort thanks to the previous day.

While he was doing some extra training after he beat up the villains yesterday, he overestimated the weight on his make-shift arm lift and tore the muscles in his left arm.

After that he couldn't use his arm even after he got to work but the crazy thing was when he woke up this morning his arm was completely fine.

So, he decided to keep at his workout but was still getting used to the new schedule.

He woke himself up while thinking "note to self, Invest in a coffee pot."

Garrett quickly made his way to his shower so the cold water would wake him up, he didn't bother to wash since he would be back in the tub a few hours later. After he showered, he dressed in his workout clothes and went out his window before flying towards his training ground.

After working out for hours, Garrett came flying back to his Apartment. He went inside and jumped in the shower this time washing himself.

He made himself some breakfast before sitting down and scrolling through his phone while he ate. He smiled as he saw a bunch of posts featuring his new hero identity and the villains he caught.

He was suddenly surprised when his phone started ringing, showing the caller's I.D to be Mark.

Garret quickly answered saying, "Hey, man. What's-" Garrett couldn't finish his question as Mark quickly spoke from his end of the phone saying, "I can't talk long, look, my dad was attacked last night, he's unconscious and no one knows who did it. That's all I can say, we'll talk later."

Before Garrett could reply Mark hung up, the line going dead.

Garrett put his phone down as he had a puzzled but shocked look. Who in their right mind would attack Omni-Man, let alone have the strength to put him down?

As Garrett was pondering this, his phone went off again letting him know there was a news reel on VideoTube he should watch.

He quickly opened the app and saw a news reel about some aliens beginning to invade downtown New York through some portals.

Garrett, realizing Mark needed to be with his dad right now, quickly changed into his costume before flying out his apartment window towards the area where the aliens were at.

xxLine Breakxx

Unbreakable quickly found the Invading aliens and hovered in the air above for a second. He saw they were very prepared, having tanks, protective metal barriers, and advanced weapons.

Garret took a breath before gaining a determined look and saying, "here we go."

He then dashed towards the invaders like a rocket plowing through the group of aliens and launching them high into the air.

He then quickly flew towards a civilian who was about to get crushed by a tank, the metal monster resembling a mechanical spider with a large gun.

Unbreakable quickly grabbed the tank's leg before it could harm the citizen holding it place with a little effort. Unbreakable looked towards the civilian who had yet to move and shouted, "Run!"

The civilian snapped out of his stupor and ran but sadly was quickly crushed by another tank. Unbreakable saw this and shouted, "NO!" He then quickly grabbed the tank he was holding with both hands and twirled it around before throwing it at the other tank that killed the civilian.

The metal weapons collided in a huge explosion before he saw an alien with a red cape giving orders. Realizing that particular alien had to be the leader, Unbreakable dashed towards him like a bullet reeling his fist back before punching the leader in his right eye, scaring the alien's face and knocking his eyeball out of his skull.

The mass number of soldiers saw this causing them to start focusing on Unbreakable since they recognized him as a threat.

Most of the alien soldiers began opening fire at Unbreakable and despite the weapons not really harming him, the barrage of so many were stopping him from doing anything to retaliate.

Just when he thought he bit off more than he could chew a giant pink wall of energy surrounded him protecting him from the barrage of blasts.

Unbreakable looked up and his eyes widened in shock seeing a hero he followed constantly on Instagram. There she was, Atom Eve, wearing her long-sleeve all-pink outfit that stopped at her thighs, with matching boots, gloves and small cape. While on her chest was the female symbol surrounded by an atom ring in a white circle.

The heroine looked at Unbreakable asking, "You all right? Can you fight?"

Unbreakable shook himself before saying "yeah, let's go." Eve smiled before he and she flew to the front of the alien's pack before landing and squaring up.

The unafraid heroine glared at the aliens saying, "I don't know who you guys are, but it's time to go." The woman then unleashed her power sending a large wave of pink energy at the aliens sending them flying in all directions.

Unbreakable, not one to be out done began flying through the mass of enemy's tossing and pushing them into hard objects or each other.

Suddenly there was a group of explosions among the aliens causing them to scream in pain. Unbreakable looked and saw more heroes arrive. But, not just any heroes, it was the rest of the Young Hero group, The Teen Team

There was an Asian woman who cloned herself known as Duplikate, an actual Robot ironically called Robot, and a man about Garrett's age in what looked like a red and yellow hazmat suit known as Rexplode.

The group landed amongst the aliens and the two heroes and began fighting while the robot spoke in a monotone electronic voice saying, "Thanks to you, Atom Eve and Unbreakable. we were able to focus on evacuation and can now focus on the enemy forces."

The group of heroes kept the aliens back, Robot using his computer brain began calculating and spoke saying, "Atom Eve, Unbreakable. Two and half seconds after this sentence, four enemy tanks will align 50 degrees to your right and left."

The heroes nodded while Atom Eve said, "On it." before the two took off and destroyed the tanks.

Eve used her powers to make the tanks flip over and bend their metal while Unbreakable Flew right at one of the tanks grabbing its gun before bending it backwards, he then grabbed the tank like a club and smashed it on top of the other tank with a roar of effort.

Robot despite the chaos kept giving advice to the heroes saying, "Rexplode, there are some straggling civilians to your left."

Rexplode just gave the robot an asshole remark saying, "Uh, yeah, I got eyes too Robot."

Robot ignored the remark speaking to Duplikate saying, "Duplikate..." said cloner was currently making clones and beating groups of aliens without a sweat. Robot was just monotonal and said, "keep doing what you're doing."

However, despite the group doing well more and more soldiers were pouring out of portals and beginning to overwhelm the heroes.

Once again Unbreakable was pinned down by a group of enemies along with the others, the alien leader who Unbreakable punched removed a soldier from a tank and began to laugh evilly as he took aim at the durable hero.

But just when he was about to fire, the tank began to malfunction, and the leader saw in the reflection of his control screen that he was aging rapidly. The leader worriedly gave the order to retreat as the aliens scrambled back into their portals as the heroes were just grateful they were leaving.

Once the aliens were gone Rexplode shouted out, "I don't know what just happened, but I do know. I don't want it to ever happen again!"

Unbreakable frowned under his mask before he replied, "Do you always complain this much or is this your first-time doing actual work?"

Duplikate and Eve couldn't stop the laughs that came out while Rexplode growled out, "Excuse me? Who the Fuck are you supposed to be, you Edgelord Fuck!"

Garrett was a little pissed at the jab at his costumes color scheme, so he replied, "better to be an Edgelord than looking like Homer Simpson." Duplikate and Eve laughed even harder at that burn before Eve waved her hands saying, "Rex, stop, just stop. You already lost ahaha."

Rex just growled before Garrett looked at Eve saying, "hey, Thanks for your help I-" but he was cut off when he heard sirens and he panicked since he wasn't an official hero yet. He quickly took to the air saying, "Sorry I gotta go but thanks again!" He then dashed away.

Rexplode still wanted the last word and shouted, "Sure, we'll explain all this. ASSHOLE!" While Eve watched the new hero leave curiously.

About 45 minutes later

a man with a bald head but with white hair in the back, wearing a blue business suit and black dress shoes, and with noticeable scar on the right side of his face could be seen.

Next to him was his right-hand man, the man had buzzed blond hair, he wore a grey business suit, aviator sunglasses, and black dress shoes.

These two men were Cecil Steadman and Donald Ferguson respectively. The two men basically ran the G.D.A. (Global Defense Agency) a government organization so secret that not even the president knows about them.

The two were currently going over the area where the aliens attacked along with a huge number of well-equipped soldiers. They were scanning and blocking off the area while Robot had stayed behind to give the two men a debriefing.

Cecil was looking over the damage as he spoke to Robot saying, "You kids did good, Robot."

Robot just replied, "thank you, Cecil. It's an honor to assist the Global Defense Agency. Though your use of the term 'kids' makes your complement seem condescending."

Cecil ignored Robot and just angrily said, "this isn't a win, Robot. Do you know how many people died today? 228."

Robot responded logically saying, "According to my calculations, if not for the help of Unbreakable the number would have been 338."

Cecil grunted at the mention of the newest hero to hit social media along with Omni-Man's kid running around calling himself Invincible.

Cecil just looked at the damage to the city asking, "what do you think of him? Think he's got what it takes?"

Robot looked at Cecil for a second before replying saying, "While he may be skilled, I'm not sure if he understands the full reality of hero work."

Cecil hummed and filed that info away for later before he walked towards one of the aliens corpses, the smell and dead body not bothering him in the slightest considering the horrors he'd seen and been through.

Cecil spoke to robot again saying, "So, Robot, any Idea why these bastards ran away when they were kicking our ass?"

Robot spoke abruptly saying, "The Flaxens."

Cecil looked at Robot saying, "what?"

Robot joined Cecil by the corpse while saying, "I was able to reverse-engineer their language during the battle, they call themselves the Flaxens."

Cecil was just getting annoyed and snapped impatiently, "I don't care if they're called Mary Fucking Poppins, Robot! Just tell me why they left when they should have been kicking our asses!"

Robot remained calm and answered Cecil saying, "I've calculated three possibilities-" Robot was suddenly cut off when a crane hauling one of the aliens abandoned tanks away suddenly broke off the hook of the crane and landed with a crash.

Cecil had a shocked look as his arm was up to cover his eyes while robot calmy walked over to the tank and said, "But I believe that narrows it down to one." Robot gripped the metal tank and its armor broke clean off like glass and it was a deep brown and copper color.

Robot held the metal in his hand before saying, "Corrosion like this should take centuries to do to an alloy like this but yet the tank has aged as such after barely an hour."

Cecil understanding immediately said, "They were running because." Robot finished his thought saying, "They were dying of old age, our timestream must move faster than in their own dimension."

Cecil just scoffed saying, "great, maybe next time they show up I'll evacuate the area and wait till they get cancer."

Cecil brought up his wrist and pressed a button on his watch opening a portal, he looked at Robot saying, "keep an eye on Unbreakable for me, I might need him."

And with that Cecil vanished leaving Donald to give orders while Robot went back to his team's home base.

The next morning at School Garrett met up with Mark at his locker. Once he was in ear shot Garrett spoke to Mark saying, "Ok, so you gonna tell me what happened or what?"

Mark had a depressed look on his face as he said, "my dad's been out of commission for almost three days now. No one's sure how it happened."

Garrett looked skeptical and spoke low so only mark could hear him saying, "But who the hell could take on Omni-Man and live to tell about it? Where were the Guardians?"

Mark was about to answer before William showed up, putting their talk on hold.

William approached them while he was scrolling on his phone saying, "Hey Mark, Garrett. Have you two seen these new hero-"

William's question died when he saw marks downtrodden face and asked, "hey, You okay?"

Mark grimaced before saying, "My dad, he got attacked and he's not doing so well."

William looked devastated for Mark saying, "Oh my god, hey look man, if you need someone to talk to, I'm here. If you and your mom like lasagna I can make one, in fact I can make a great one."

While William was talking Garrett noticed a familiar face with red hair standing behind him talking to some other students. Garrett looked and noticed the person to be Samantha Wilkins, but most people knew her by Eve. He himself only knew her since they had the same social studies class and most of the students would either come to him or her for help with assignments.

But Garrett also noticed something he never saw before, if you replaced her current outfit with a pink one and pink energy then she was the splitting image of Atom Eve.

Garrett putting two and two together spoke up while William was still talking saying, "hold that thought William, Be right back."

Garrett then started over towards Eve while William stared at him shocked and turned to Mark saying harshly, "Since when does he know, Eve Wilkins!?"

Mark confused at his friend asked, "Who?"

William groaned annoyed saying, "EVE WILKINS. Only one of the most popular girls in school! She has good grades, is a social butterfly, and almost every guy wants to date her."

Mark didn't see the big deal and said, "So, what if they're just friends?"

William wanted to scream at his friend before he harshly whispered, "seriously! Are you sure you're not gay?"

Mark just got flustered and said, "Shut up, Dude!"

Once the students Eve was talking to left, Garrett approached her saying, "Hi, your Eve Wilkins, right?"

Eve looked at Garrett curiously before answering saying, "yeah, and your... Garrett Green, right? We have Social Studies together?"

Garrett rubbed the back of his head embarrassed saying, "wow, I'm actually surprised you know me."

Eve smirked saying, "Well, I should know the guy who keeps beating my top scores in class."

Garrett suddenly got nervous saying quickly, "sorry about that! I made a promise to myself I'd do well in school, and that has to do with this whole other thing with-"

Eve put her hands up in the stop motion saying, "whoa, whoa, easy. I was just joking with you."

Garrett got embarrassed saying "oh, right." he then composed himself saying, "Anyway, I just wanted to come properly thank you, since I didn't get to yesterday."

Eve had a puzzled look before realization hit her as she pointed at him and spoke low saying, "Ohhh, that was you. The black and red guy?"

Garrett smiled embarrassedly saying low as well, "yeah, I'm Unbreakable." Garrett paused for second and said, "Wow, that sounds so lame when you say it like that."

Eve smirked saying, "more like a little boastful."

Garrett just chuckled nervously while Eve was finally getting the idea and walked up to Garret saying, "Do you wanna talk about yesterday? Because you look like you wanna talk about yesterday." Garrett smiled at her and said, "yeah, thanks."

xxLine Breakxx

Eve had Garrett meet her on the school's roof during study hall for their talk and the two were currently sitting together on the tallest building as they chatted.

Eve looked at Garrett and said, "So, your new at this, huh?"

Garrett just nodded saying, "yeah, I just got my powers and that was my first big fight and the first time I actually saw people die."

Eve nodded her head saying, "that makes sense, not a lot of heroes just rush in hoping to punch the problem away." Garrett got a little depressed at that bit of info.

Eve seeing this quickly added, "But you should know, Robot said if you hadn't been there over a hundred more people would have died."

Garrett smiled at her saying, "thanks." making Eve hit his shoulder lightly saying, "hey, don't worry about it. You did better than me on my first time out."

Garrett looked at her saying, "what happened?"

Eve just and a small, embarrassed smile as she said, "before the fight I started puking my guts out."

Garrett looked at her shocked saying, "No way."

Eve just smirked at him saying, "Like a fire hydrant."

The two shared a laugh before Garrett spoke up saying, "You know, I didn't recognize you before yesterday."

Eve just laughed saying, "it's a phycology thing, if you don't expect a superhero in your school then you won't see a superhero in your school."

Garrett hummed saying, "I never thought of it like that, I even follow Teen Team on Instagram."

Eve just sighed exasperatedly saying, "yeah that's us, everyone's fourth favorite superhero team."

Garrett smiled at her saying, "you guys are way better than Fight Force, that's for sure."

Eve made a mocked hurt look dramatically saying, "You dare compare the awesome Teen Team to those losers who constantly get their asses handed to them by the Lizard League?"

Garrett played along making mock bows and saying dramatically, "forgive me, oh, lady Eve. I know not my ignorance."

The two began laughing for a little bit before Garrett got a little somber saying, "Still, it must be great to have a team, I'm doing this crap all on my own and the best I got to work with is my cell phone and a daily workout."

Eve got a sudden thought and looked at Garrett saying, "hey, you free this afternoon?"

Garrett thought about it, and he did have work but not until later plus he honestly didn't want to say no to the beautiful girl. So, Garrett answered with, "yeah, what do you have in mind?"

Eve just stood up, grabbed her things and hopped down from her spot, pink energy flaring around her feet as she landed.

Garrett followed her as she spoke saying, "how about you come meet the teen team and hang for a bit. You might like it."

Garrett smiled at the idea saying, "sounds, good."

Eve smiled back before floating in the air, pink energy flaring around her hands and feet as she said, "just meet me by the school gate after the final bell. Unbreakable" before flying away out of sight.

Garrett smiled as she left before he went back into the building and found his class.

xxLine Breakxx

The final bell rang for the day and Garrett could be seen with Mark putting their books away in their lockers.

Mark looked over at his friend who was smiling like an idiot and couldn't help but say, "I guess your talk with Eve went well?"

Garrett snapped out his stupor with grunt before closing his locker making Mark smirk and say, "Well, well, this is new. You've never showed interest in anyone before."

Garrett frowned at Mark saying, "Since when did my love life become entertainment for you?"

Mark smirked saying, "The moment you got a love life. Which is..." Mark feigned looking at a watch before saying, "oh, right now."

Garrett frowned at his friend before he smirked and said, "You know what, you're right. That is funny. See you tomorrow, Mark."

Mark watched his friend walk away curiously before he suddenly heard Amber Bennetts voice from behind him saying, "hey, Mark. I heard you took another beating from Todd."

Mark quickly glanced back at his friend but there was no help to be found so Mark cleared his throat and put on the good 'ol super charm.

While Mark talked with Amber, Garrett made his way outside and found Eve waiting for him by the gate like she said.

She saw him and waved him over. Once they were together, she started leading him to a secluded part of the school where people hardly went by.

Eve led him to an enclosed cubby that had a dumpster inside it. She had them step behind the dumpster before saying, "ok, change into your costume."

Garrett looked at her surprised saying, "what?"

Eve just waved her hands over herself, her power flaring around her hands as she changed her clothes literally from her outfit into her super-suit using her powers while saying, "what? Haven't you changed in gym before?"

Garrett replied, "yeah, but you're a..."

Eve just rolled her eyes and turned around while saying, "Little advice, in the superhero world, say goodbye to modesty."

Garrett just pulled his costume out and began putting it on while thinking "Didn't expect this today."

While Garrett had his back turned Eve couldn't help herself and took a quick glance and blushed seeing Garrett's very defined back which was thanks to a combo of his powers and workouts.

Eve quickly turned her head back and schooled herself just when Garrett said, "ready."

Eve turned around a saw Garrett fully costumed mask and all.

Eve looked at Garrett curiously making him ask, "what?"

Eve pointed at his mouth saying, "Why is your mouth covered?"

Garrett sighed and explained his reason to her and just like before... "hahahahhahaha, you know you can close your mouth, right?" laughed a teary-eyed Eve.

Garrett just had a frown as he tossed his bag next to Eves and crossed his arms before saying sarcastically, "ha ha, can we go meet the team now?"

Eve calmed down while saying, "easy, tiger. You gotta admit that's funny." Eve then got a mischievous smirk saying, "in fact, you better hope I don't tell Rex about that." Eve then quickly took off into the sky.

Garrett realizing her threat quickly chased after her shouting "don't you dare!"

Eve led Garrett into the city laughing while shouting back at him, "let's see those flying skills, Unbreakable."

Eve then dove down narrow gap between a billboard and building. Unbreakable smirked and decided to show off by turning his body backwards and sideways before casually crossing his arms and legs and dove through the gap no issue.

He floated up to Eve who was watching with a stunned look, and she suddenly asked, "how long ago did you say you got your powers?"

Garrett answered her saying, "last week."

Eve surprised said, "You got your powers a week ago and you're this good at flying already?"

Garrett not sure why she was surprised said, "I've been training since I got my powers, that could explain it."

Eve accepted the answer before she smirked again saying, "ok, Unbreakable, let's see how you handle this." Eve then dove past Unbreakable making him smile and follow.

Eve flew high in the air before she closed her eyes feeling the wind go by her before she did a backflip and dove down before rising sharply and waving her hand creating a pink ramp she slid across.

Garret smiled before flying forward doing a front flip and started to run across the ramp sideways as it disintegrated in mid-air before making it to the end and flying after Eve.

The heroine laughed in joy before taking off again followed by the rookie hero.

After a couple more flying challenges Eve led Garrett to a warehouse by the Brooklyn Bridge. They landed on the roof where a robotic eye suddenly popped out and scanned Eve before scanning Garrett.

The robotic eye suddenly blinked red and spoke saying, "guest not authorized." Eve spoke up saying, "member override, allow entry for new guest. codename: Unbreakable."

The robotic eye blinked green saying, "acknowledged, override accepted. Welcome back, Atom Eve, welcome, Unbreakable."

A trap door opened under the two allowing them to float down to an advanced secret base full of gadgets, work-out equipment, showers, and other amenities.

The teen team was also there doing different things, Robot was working on some invention, Duplikate was playing Ping Pong with a clone of herself, and Rexplode was punching a boxing bag.

As they floated down Unbreakable couldn't help but say, "ok, that was pretty cool."

Eve smiled at him saying, "you can thank Robot for the cool tech and security."

The two touched down and when Rex noticed them, he walked over to Eve saying, "hey, babe." before he leaned in and kissed her while Eve returned the Kiss placing her hands on Rex's cheeks.

Garrett was glad his mask covered his face since he felt very awkward right now and Rex was purposely making a show of kissing Eve.

Rex then made it seem he just noticed Garrett there breaking his kiss with his girlfriend saying, "hey, it's Mr. Edgelord. Tell me, been to any 'three days grace' concerts lately?"

Eve frowned at her boyfriend saying "Rex, knock it off."

Rex made a dramatic pose saying, "what? It's not my fault he likes wearing black like some bad guy in an anime."

Garrett just replied, "yeah don't worry Eve, it's not Rex's fault my costume is colored like this, like it's not his fault he is a gaping asshole."

The team erupted in laughter causing Rex to growl since Unbreakable once again, One upped him.

The Duplikate clones walked up to Unbreakable saying at different intervels, "thanks for the help..." "yesterday with the Flaxens."

Garrett looked between the clone and original before asking, "sorry, but which one of you do I talk to? I just wanna be P.C. here."

Rex interrupted the two with a scoff saying, "we had it handled.'

Eve frowned saying, "yeah, because they ran away." Duplikate absorbed her clone to help Unbreakable out while saying, "and they got old."

Rex didn't let their statements bother him as he replied, "Still counts."

Robot walked away from whatever he was working on to join them as he said, "welcome, Unbreakable. Let us make the proper introductions. My name is Robot. Apologies for Rexplode he's-"

Rex interrupted the metal man saying, "Unbelievably awesome."

Unbreakable replied saying, "more like unbelievably full of himself."

Rex growled while the others laughed to themselves before saying, "ok, Edgelord. you got a problem?"

Rex got in Unbreakables face while said hero just leaned his face closer to Rexs with his arms crossed saying, "What? You can dish it out but can't take it?"

Rex was about to say something else, but Eve got between them and frowned at her boyfriend saying, "Rex, stop it. I didn't bring Unbreakable here for you to be rude."

Rex looked aghast and tried saying, "but he-" Eve held her hand up before turning to Unbreakable and frowned at him saying, "and I didn't bring you here to keep taking shots at Rex."

Unbreakable realized she was right before he sighed and held his hand out to Rex saying, "Sorry, man. I've grown up in a tough neighborhood, so I have a habit of giving people shit."

Rex looked at the offered hand and slapped it away saying, "whatever, just keep your mouth shut." Rex then walked away and started playing some random arcade game they had in the room.

Duplikate walked up to Garrett offering her hand saying, "just ignore him, he always acts like this when new people show up. I'm Duplikate"

Unbreakable shook her offered hand saying, "Unbreakable and No worries, like I said, I'm used to dealing with people like that."

Duplikate nodded before walking over to see Rex's score in the game he was playing.

Eve just pointed at herself saying, "and as you already know, I'm Atom Eve." she looked over to robot asking, "hey, Robot. Any new info on the site from yesterday?"

Robot walked over to his computer saying, "the Flaxens come from a separate dimension with a faster temporal rate. As a result, the tachyons they emit spin more rapidly than our own." Robot pressed some keys on his computer pulling up an image of a round device and a large radar eclipsing all of New York. Robot spoke up again saying, "I've created this detector to warn us if they return."

Rex suddenly groaned loudly having givin up on the game saying, "Oh, like we didn't miss all the explosions, the screaming, and the chaos."

Unbreakable wisely kept his mouth shut at Rexplode's jerk comment. While Robot somehow looked dryly at Rex which was impressive for a machine as he said, "The device should give us a few minutes early warning."

Robot turned towards Unbreakable saying, "Cecil and the GDA have also requested to call on us in case of any possible emergencies due to the current absence of the Guardians. Unbreakable, can we count on your assistance as well?"

Unbreakable was surprised to hear about the guardians and said, "Wait. Before I answer, I haven't been checking the news lately. What happened to the Guardians?"

The group looked at each other before Robot answered saying, "The Guardians of The Globe have been missing since the night Omni-Man was rushed to the hospital."

Garrett took this news calmly while thinking, "is that what Mark couldn't tell me?"

Garrett shook the thought away before looking at Robot saying, "well, considering that. Yeah, if you guys need me just give me a call or a text. Oh, you'll need my number, huh?"

Garrett reached into a hidden pocket in his costume and grabbed his phone.

He was about to open his number list before robot stopped him saying, "No need." the machine man held his hand over Unbreakables phone before a small beep was heard and Robot pulled out a small case with an earbud as he said, "I have your contact information, if we should need you, I'll contact you immediately and this ear piece should keep us in contact in case of an emergency."

Unbreakable put his phone away along with the case while saying, "that's cool and all. If a little unsettling."

Robot turned his head curiously asking, "Why?"

Unbreakable felt a little uncomfortable before replying, well... You know... with how identify theft is done these days."

Robot understanding Unbreakable said logically, "Don't worry, Unbreakable. My programming prevents me from doing criminal acts such as Identity theft."

Before Garrett could say anything, Eve spoke up saying, "Don't think that's what he meant, Robot."

Eve winked at Garrett, making him grateful for the help.

After spending a little more time getting to know the teen team Garret had to leave for work. So, he quickly flew off and grabbed his things before heading to BurgerMart.

The next day at school during lunch, Garrett, Mark, and William could be seen at their usual table eating, or trying to eat since William had been grilling Garrett non-stop about how he knew Eve Wilkins and what they did after school yesterday.

"For the last time, we're just friends!" shouted Garrett through a mouth full of bologna sandwich.

William shushed his friend saying, "be quiet. You want the whole school to hear you?"

Garrett rolled his eyes at his gay friend; he loved William like a brother but his tendency to play matchmaker could get annoying at times.

Garrett swallowed his food before looking at William seriously and said, "she has a boyfriend, dude."

William scoffed at that info saying, "So, this is your chance to make yourself look awesome, so she'll dump him, and you can take his pace."

Garrett took another bite of his sandwich and swallowed before saying, "look, I hate three things more than anything else." Garrett began counting on his fingers saying, "One, I hate liars, two, I hate Cheaters, and you both know my third."

William and Mark grimaced since they were some of the few people who knew his background.

Mark looked at the two before he spoke to William trying to change the topic saying, "how come you never took this much of an interest when I needed help dating?"

William looked at Mark dryly saying, "One, you got Amber now so your covered, and two, Garrett has never wanted to date anyone, it's always been getting good grades here or gotta go to work here, and oh no gotta get more good grades over here."

Trying to get the subject off him, Garrett focused on Mark saying, "So, you and Amber are a thing now?"

Mark smiled nervously saying, "I don't know yet, she gave me her number yesterday, but I haven't figured out what I'm gonna say."

William looked at mark with a hand on his cheek saying, "I still don't know how you pulled it off."

Mark glared at William saying, "What the hell dude! What's with the hate!"

As William laughed at an annoyed Mark, Garrett noticed Eve behind them at another table suddenly gasp at something on her phone. She looked up and saw him before motioning her head towards outside.

Garrett getting the message stuffed the rest of sandwich in his mouth before getting up saying, "I'll see you guys later, something important I remembered just came up." before he began making a quick exit.

Mark instantly understanding, covered for him saying, "Ok, we'll see you later." making William stare at him weirdly for letting Garrett leave.

10 minutes later, Unbreakable and Atom Eve could be seen flying through New York on their way to the Location Robot had sent them.

It didn't take them long to reach it since they were both flyers and landed on an under-construction skyscraper.

The other Teen Team members were already there with Rex glaring at the two as they showed up together.

Once they landed Rex approached them while saying angrily, "Uh, Where the fuck are you guys coming from?"

Eve frowned at her boyfriend's tone saying, "We go to the same high school, Rex."

Rex just sarcastically replied, "Oh, you do, do you? Well, isn't that convenient."

Unbreakable just had a, is he serious? look under his mask before saying dryly, "I guess."

Rex just kept his rude tone saying, "Must be nice, you know who didn't get to go to High School?" Rex then pointed at himself saying, "Me, That's who."

Eve kept frowning at her boyfriend's attitude before saying, "We know, it shows."

Robot suddenly interrupted them saying, "if I may garner your attention. The Flaxens are here."

The three quickly focused on the task at hand as the group saw portals begin to open on the streets below.

The Flaxen soldiers come pouring out in droves with even more advanced looking weaponry including, new tanks, Guns, and traps.

Standing behind them all on a floating platform was the Leader Unbreakable had punched two days ago, only he looked a little older than before with a scar covering where his right eye would have been, and he was also wearing some type of hi-tech body armor.

The leader threw his arm forward shouting, "Kalty Moi!"

The soldiers began opening fire at anyone in their path while the Teen Team plus Unbreakable jumped into action.

Unbreakable went after the Tanks first since they would cause the most damage but when he tried to punch through the metal monster's limbs, he noticed it took longer than last time.

Rex also noticed something while they were fighting shouting out, "They're not getting old Robot! Why aren't they getting old!?"

A light flashed over Robot's eyes before he said, "it seems they have developed a way to resist our time stream."

Rex shouted out his displeasure as he threw some explosive charged golf balls at a group of Flaxens saying, "In two days!"

Robot replied logically while blasting some aliens with some palm repulsers, saying "Two days for us, Decades for them."

Unbreakable punched out a Tank driver while thinking, "That explains the better equipment."

Suddenly the Flaxens set up a large box on the street by a tank before it unfolded revealing a high-power laser turret.

The weapon aimed itself at Duplikate causing her gasp in panic before she started cloning herself at a fast rate, the weapon killing her clones almost faster than she can make them.

Unbreakable seeing the multiple Duplikates get murdered suddenly got angry before dashing towards the soldiers in charge of the turret screaming "Knock it off!" He formed his hands into a hammer fist before getting in front of the turret and slamming his hands down on it hard, crushing it into pieces.

DupliKate made a group of clones to give Unbreakable cover so he could get some breathing room while he grabbed Kate prime to get away as well.

Kate and Unbreakable stood back-to-back while she said, "thanks, but don't worry, as long as one of my clones make it, I'll be ok."

Unbreakable nodded before He saw Rex throwing his charged bombs at different groups of enemies, but a line of Flaxens fired some specially designed rifles, that instead of ammunition the weapons made Rexplodes bombs head towards him.

Rex yelped in a panic and ran in a serpentine pattern while shouting, "Not cool, not cool, not cool!"

Robot activated some rockets in his feet and back sending him into the air as he fired Mini missiles at the Flaxens.

The leader pointed at Robot shouting, "Roboi Elicita!"

Two Flaxens crouched in front of their leader and fired a large cannon sending an electric ring towards Robot.

Robot, unable to counter the electrical attack was hit dead-on making him short-circuit and fall to the ground.

The Flaxens put up another Turret forcing Duplikate to take on the defensive.

The Flaxens then pushed forward with their advantage killing civilians along the way.

Eve and Unbreakable acted quickly with the pink hero making walls of energy to block the enemies from advancing and letting the people escape while Unbreakable was beating back the soldiers while breaking their weapons when he could.

The leader seeing the two work so well, growled before he gave another order and his soldiers slammed two crates on the ground and two separate devices shot out, one was a group of floating white orbs with a single eye, while a trio of metal squid machines crawled out of the other.

Before Unbreakable or Atom Eve could react both weapons targeted them each, the orbs chasing Eve while the squids began crawling and leaping towards Unbreakable fast.

Eve flew in the air and was able to dodge and destroy two of the orbs before the final one suddenly opened into a trap before latching itself onto Atom Eves face suffocating her.

Unbreakable saw this and panicked and tried to fly to her but one of the squids latched onto his leg.

He quickly grabbed the offending machine and smashed it with a hard punch, but the other two squids quickly latched onto his body dragging him to ground and latching into the street, then for good measure, the machines began to suddenly electrocute Unbreakable causing him to yell in pain.

As each member of the group seemed in trouble, Robot spoke over their comms saying, "They seem, to have spent... Their time wisely."

Despite everything, Unbreakable was yelling in both pain and effort as he tried to get to Eve knowing she didn't have much longer.

The Flaxen leader, seeing Unbreakable struggle to save Eve smirked before grabbing one of his new high-powered pistols and walked towards her suffocating body.

Unbreakable saw this through the broken lenses of his mask thanks to the electric current coursing through him before he shouted "No! Don't touch her!"

The leader continued to smirk before he pointed his gun at Eves face and got ready to pull the trigger.

Garretts eyes got wider as he shouted, "NO, NO, DON'T!"

The leader smirked one last time before looking at Eve and got ready to kill her while Garrett suddenly heard himself roar before shouting, "I SAID STOP!" next thing Unbreakable knew his mind suddenly went blank.

Unbreakable simply flexed his strength completely shattering the electric machines trapping him.

The leader was shocked but not for long as Unbreakable tackled him away from Eve and slammed him into a nearby building.

The leader barely had time to groan as Unbreakable looked at him with a snarl and ripped apart his armor with his bare hands. Unbreakable then began to beat the leader and he didn't know if he could stop.

He punched the leader in the center of his face repeatedly with one hand while he hit different parts of his body with the other.

But Robots voice suddenly shouted in his ear saying, "Unbreakable!" making him snap back to reality as he heard Robot.

Unbreakable finally snapped out of his rage and flew like a bullet towards Eve and ripped off the suffocating device with ease before he clenched it in his hand destroying it.

He held Eve in his arms as she got her breathing under control before he saw the leader being carried away due to his injuries and because he was aging again.

Unbreakable scanned the ground and saw a destroyed wristband he noticed the Flaxens never wore before.

Unbreakable placed a hand to his ear and spoke to Robot through their comms saying, "Robot it's their Wristbands! The Flaxens are resisting our timestream with Wristbands!"

Unbreakable looked down at Eve smiling and said "You, ok?"

Eve couldn't stop the smile on her face as Garrett more was concerned for her than himself looking at his wounds before she said, "Yeah, thanks."

Unbreakable helped her stand before stepping away saying, "No, problem."

The two got serious again as they heard the soldiers regroup so he and Eve began destroying as many wristbands as possible until Robot found a solution.

Robot and the others had gotten a reprieve thanks to Unbreakable taking out the Flaxens leader as the machine man began calculating a solution.

Robot quickly gave instructions saying, "Destroy their wrist bands. They help them resist our time stream." Robot quickly moved to the side grabbing a Flaxens arm and carefully removed his wristband before he blasted the soldier away with a repulse blast.

Robot began scanning the device as he said, "Give me two minutes, I have a solution."

Luckily the groups renewed confidence helped buy them time as Robot made an adjustment in his circuits before he shouted at a certain High frequency, "keep them off MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

The shockwave of sound worked destroying all the Flaxens wristbands causing them to start aging and retreating.

The leader somehow glared one last time at Unbreakable, his body and face completely broken before they disappeared into the portal.

Rex glared at the retreating aliens giving them the middle finger while shouting, "Yeah, more where this came from, assholes!" Rex looked at Unbreakable saying, "way to go all Psycho there, Unbreakable. I take back everything I said about you, and I said a lot."

Unbreakable didn't know if Rex was genuine or not but still replied saying, "I don't know what happened, my mind just went blank."

Unbreakable suddenly got a text and checked his phone, his eyes widened at the message he read before he looked at the others saying, "I gotta go guys, something big just came up with my friend. Can you guy's handle clean up?"

Eve smiled at Garrett saying, "yeah, we're good. go to your friend."

Unbreakable smiled at her under his mask before he took to the sky.

Rex, despite his comment earlier shouted after Unbreakable saying, "Yeah, we'll clean this up. ASSHOLE!"

Eve quickly frowned and elbowed Rex making him say, "Ow! What I do?"

Eve ignored Rex and just started helping clean up the area.

The message Unbreakable had gotten earlier was from Mark. He said his dad was finally awake and he said Omni-Man wanted to see him for some reason.

Mark sent him the address where they had Omni-Man Hospitalized and was surprised to find out it was the local branch of the Pentagon a few hundred miles out west from New York.

Mark also said to show up in costume first since they didn't really know his civilian name.

Garrett landed at the entrance to the building in his battle-damaged costume before walking through the doors.

Garrett was surprised however, when as soon as he opened the double doors and walked in, he was surrounded by soldiers who appeared out of nowhere thanks to their tech-camo armor.

He held hands up peacefully before jokingly saying, "I know I turned eighteen last year but damn you guys are strict about tax season."

Suddenly an old gruff voice spoke up saying, "Stand down, he's clear."

The soldiers quickly vanished, revealing Cecil Steadman to Garrett.

The man looked at Garrett appraisingly before speaking saying, "Apologies, Security has been tight these days and we don't have you in our system yet."

Garrett was about to speak saying, "thanks-" Cecil interrupted him saying, "Don't mention it, Unbreakable."

Garrett raised an eyebrow saying, "How-"

Cecil interrupted again, saying, "Do we know about you? You haven't been exactly subtle not to mention your recent work with the Flaxens."

Cecil motioned for Unbreakable to follow him as he said, "We also know your real name."

Garrett looked a little upset at the info before Cecil said, "Don't worry, your identity won't be compromised. We keep tabs on all our heroes."

Garrett looked at Cecil saying, "Your Heroes?"

Cecil stopped walking and gave Garret a blank stare saying, "What? You thought Heroes get free shit? make royalties? No, kid, this is the real world and like anything else being a Hero is a job."

Garrett frowned at Cecil's jaded point of view before they walked again with Cecil saying, "Anyway, I wanted to meet you in person and let you know about an upcoming opportunity."

Garrett simply replied, "What opportunity?"

Cecil was careful in his word choice since the news of the Guardians Murder wasn't meant to be public knowledge yet saying, "Since the Guardians are MIA, we're planning on holding tryouts later this week to see if any heroes have what to takes to be a possible replacement."

Garrett was stunned for a second since the Guardians were the planets strongest heroes save for Omni-Man. So, the fact that Cecil is holding tryouts in the first place spoke about just how bad the situation was.

Garret replied, "And you're telling me this because?"

Cecil sighed before placing a hand in his pocket saying, "I want you to try out kid. Despite being new, you've shown your capable and somewhat skilled. Trust me when I say I need all the capable people I can get."

Garrett was a little stunned that Cecil was even offering him a tryout to begin with so after thinking it over he said, "yeah, I 'll be there."

Cecil nodded and said, "good, I'll have my people contact you when it's ready." Garrett nodded before Cecil and him stopped at a door.

Cecil pressed a button, the door sliding open showing the Grayson family together.

Omni-Man smiled at Garrett saying, "Thanks for bringing him, Cecil."

Cecil nodded before he left the family and family friend alone.

Garrett was suddenly nervous standing in front of one of his favorite heroes in a small space.

Omni-Man smirked seeing Garrett's battle worn costume saying, "looks like you've been busy, along with Mark."

Garrett looked at Mark who smiled sheepishly saying, "yeah, I'm kinda the new hero, Invincible."

Garrett really needed to start checking the news more often he's honestly missed a lot.

Omni-Man spoke to Garrett again saying, "you've done a good job in my absence." Nolan looked at Mark saying, "the both of you."

Omni-man looked at Garrett again saying, "Go see Art again when you can, tell him it's on me. Whatever you need."

Mark smiled at the praise from his father while Garrett was grateful for the offer before Debbie Grayson, Mark's mother spoke up saying, "Ok, boys that's enough guy time. Nolan needs a little more rest before he can leave."

Garret smiled at the Asian woman noticing she hadn't changed since he met her. She wore her usual attire of a green blouse, black slacks, and whatever shoes she felt like wearing.

He nodded saying, "have a good night Debbie, it's good to see you're ok Mr. Gray-"

Omni-Man cut him off saying "Nolan, you can call me Nolan."

Garrett was surprised since this was the first time Omni-Man ever asked him to do that. The man slash hero had always treated Garrett with polite disregard.

Garrett shook off the surprise before saying, "it's good to see you're ok, Nolan."

Nolan just waved goodbye followed by his wife before Garrett walked over to Mark and said goodbye in their usual way before he left the room.

xxLIne Breakxx

Garret went and saw Art after talking with Omni-Man then had his costume mended before ordering two spares.

Art happily took the order saying they would be ready in a couple days after he made some adjustments.

Garret left Art's shop after that with a mended suit and headed home.

The Next day at school, Garrett and Mark were at their lockers since they were between periods.

Garrett grabbed a book he needed before saying, "How's your dad doing? Did they let him go home yet?"

Mark nodded saying, "Yeah, he's with my mom now at the house."

Mark was about to tell Garrett about his encounter with Allen the alien in space. After Cecil had visited his family when they got home last night.

However, before the two could converse more, Garrett saw Todd marching down the hall towards them with three big guys from the defensive line on the school football team.

Garrett couldn't help but annoyingly say, "Oh, great."

Mark turned around and saw Todd just as he showed up before he shoved Mark out the way saying, "Move it Grayson! I got unfinished business with your nerd friend."

Mark got instantly mad at being shoved and was about to do something, but Garrett held up a hand silently saying, 'I got this.'

Mark, knowing his friend had things handled just let the scene play out.

Todd got In Garretts face with an arrogant smirk saying, "Hey, Green. I told a couple friends of mine about you, and we thought a little payback was in order."

Garret was calm as a feather and said, "Look, Todd. You don't want this fight. Only two things are going happen, one your gonna be smart for once and walk away, or two your gonna be in for a world of pain."

Todd growled at Garrett saying, "That a threat, Green?"

Garrett gave Todd a slight glare saying, "No, Todd. That's a promise."

The students around them let out a collective "Oooooooh."

Todd getting mad and letting his pride get the better of him swung at Garrett punching him straight in the solar plexus.

Garrett, however, didn't even flinch instead Todd screamed in pain as he fell to his knees holding his hand, the whole appendage completely broken.

The three large football players instantly backed off after seeing Todd's hand break against Garrett.

Garrett remained calm since he knew this would be the outcome. Ever since he got his powers, he had been working out every day to train them. Since then, he had been increasing his weight load every time he did. Soon, he would have to find an alternative training method to get stronger since his current way was becoming obsolete.

Despite his struggles with the Flaxens recently however, Garrett knew that he was stronger than most people, even some known heroes.

Todd continued to holler in pain before Garrett simply gave him an uncaring look saying, "I told you; you would be in a world of pain."

As Students started to gather to get pictures of the incident Garret got a call before stepping away and answering, "hello?"

He was surprised to hear Eve's voice as she quickly told him the Flaxens were back. Eve sent him the location before he took off to find somewhere to change into his suit.

Meanwhile, Mark had seen everything with a shocked look. When Mark had gotten his powers and was hit by Todd the other day, Sure he had felt the hits, but they didn't hurt. Yet, Garrett got his powers almost the same time as him and after one punch Todds hand was destroyed after hitting his friend.

Mark had some things to discuss with his dad if he wanted to catch up to his friend who was somehow getting stronger faster than him.

xxLine Breakxx

A few minutes later, Unbreakable and the Teen Team could be seen heading towards the current Flaxen invasion.

The Flaxens had once again upgraded their tech, with new guns, tanks, and the leader along with a squad of soldiers were wearing large, hulking, mecha-armored suits.

As Unbreakable and the Teen Team got close Robot spoke up in is monotone voice saying, "I have bad news."

Rex who was sitting behind Robot on a hover bike said sarcastically, "Oh, Robot has bad news everybody. Tells us Robot, What's the bad news?"

Robot ignored Rex's attitude and said, "Their numbers are too great for us to handle, their technology has surpassed ours, and they have found a way to permanently resist our timestream. We should consider the city lost. I'll call Cecil to order a Nuclear Strike."

Unbreakable quickly shouted at the machine man saying, "Don't you fucking dare, Robot!"

The rookie hero flew next to Robot saying, "We're not nuking a whole city! We owe it to the people to at least go down there and save them!"

Eve backed up Unbreakable saying, "he's right Robot we're not giving up." before she and Unbreakable didn't even wait for a response as they shot down towards the battle.

Duplikate who was also on the Hoverbike looked at Robot dryly saying, "what are we? Fight Force?" before she joined the battle as well.

Rex even added his two cents saying, "seriously Robot, you got a screw loose."

As Rex joined the fight Robot couldn't help but say, "I don't use screws, my fastenings are connected by magnetic interlocks." Before he joined up with everyone.

Unbreakable began tearing through the Flaxens flying through enemies literally, their bodies exploding as he flew at a fast speed. since his body had become stronger, he was basically turning himself into a flying battering ram.

He quickly grabbed a missile that was attached to a tank before lifting it like it was a baseball and threw it at another tank causing a massive explosion that killed a good number of Flaxen soldiers.

However, Unbreakable was suddenly grabbed by his leg as the Flaxen leader tossed him several hundred yards away, his new suit granting him such strength.

The leader smirked as Unbreakable flew away before he looked at his soldiers wearing the same suit as him before shouting, "KALTY MOI UNBRAKA!"

The leader plus his squad used their suits to move at rapid speeds towards Unbreakable who had just slammed into a couple abandoned cars.

Before he could get up the Flaxen leader and his soldiers surrounded him and pinned him down as the leader began to savagely beat Unbreakable.

Despite Garrett's new strength the Flaxens power suit allowed him to injure Unbreakable, each hit doing more damage. After about ten hits Unbreakables mask was torn apart and he had one eye swollen while his face was covered in blood. The leader smirked before getting a few more hits in cracking one of Unbreakables ribs and dislocating his shoulder.

Eve and the Teen Team saw what was happening but due to the large number of enemies they were unable to give him aid.

Unbreakable looked at the Flaxen leader weakly while the alien spoke his first word of English, "DIE." The leader said darkly.

However, before the leader could make the final blow he was suddenly tossed away from Unbreakable and the soldiers pinning the hero down suddenly vanished as well.

Garret looked through his good eye and was shocked and relieved to see Omni-Man floating above him looking as if he was in his prime.

Omni-Man was holding one of the Flaxens soldiers wearing a power suit by the throat before he looked down at Garrett saying, "You ok, Garrett? Invincible asked me to check on you."

Garrett could only feel relief and frustration at this point, he was relieved Mark cared enough to ask his dad to help him out, but he was also frustrated at himself for needing to be bailed out in the first place.

Garrett just nodded at recovered hero before Omni-Man gave a simple squeeze and the Flaxen he was holdings head separated from his body.

As the alien's blood rained on the ground Omni-Man glared at the invaders saying, "I'll take care of this."

The Flaxen leader who had recovered at this point quickly gave the order to attack Omni-Man.

The hero floated in the air as the invader opened fire upon him holding nothing back.

The soldiers, tanks, and squad of power suits unleashed every ounce of fire power they had at Omni-Man creating a large cloud of dust from the debris.

The Flaxens suddenly ceased fire to allow their weapons to cool down and see if their target was dead.

They were disappointed though as Omni-man simply wave his arm clearing the cloud and showing he was completely unharmed.

Omni-man gave the Flaxens what looked like an Evil grin before saying darkly, "My Turn."

Omni-man disappeared in flash after that before a large group of Flaxens screamed as Omni-man plowed through them like a bulldozer making them explode as soon as they came near him.

Omni-Man began moving so fast around the area it seemed like he was teleporting as he killed any invading alien in his path.

The Flaxen leader realizing Omni-man was dangerous ordered his people to retreat. The soldiers quickly obeyed their leader and ran to their portals.

Garret saw that when the Flaxens were just about to leave, their leader turned and glared at Omni-Man and was about to say something.

The hero just smirked however and tackled him along with any stragglers through the portal just as it closed.

Garrett seeing this quickly ran over to where Marks father disappeared holding his hurt shoulder while shouting, "Omni-Man!"

But only silence replied to Garrett as the Teen Team showed up with Rex suddenly saying, "whoa, hold up. You know Omni-Man?"

Garrett just ignored Rex, more concerned over the fact that he had to somehow explain to Mark and his mother that Nolan was trapped in another dimension just after getting out of the hospital because of him.

xxLine Breakxx

Later Garrett could be seen outside the Grayson household in his normal clothes.

He had his left arm in sling, there was a bandage on his right eye, and a couple smaller bandages on his face where some cuts were.

Despite his injuries, Garrett was somewhat glad to be able to test his healing factor out better, he could already feel his cracked rib felt a tiny bit better.

But as Garrett stood there on Marks porch trying to figure out how to explain what happened to his dad, he just didn't know what to say before he finally took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

He heard Debbie's voice saying, "Just a minute." Before Marks mother opened the door smiling.

Her smile quickly faded when she saw Garretts injuries and went into instant "Mom" mode saying, "Oh my god, Garrett! Are you alright? What happened?"

She quickly ushered him inside while Mark came down the stairs asking, "What's up mom?"

Debbie was fussing over Garrett having him sit down as she looked him over for worse injuries, being the wife of a superhero had some advantages after all.

Garrett was grateful for the concern Debbie showed, ever since his mom died, whenever he visited the Grayson's, Debbie made sure he always had a good time and was looked after.

Debbie looked at Mark saying, "Garrett came over, but he's hurt."

Mark knowing why Garrett was hurt said, "What happened man? Everything alright?"

Garrett was dreading this moment before he simply manned up and said, "Nolan came and helped me fight the Flaxens. He beat them but..."

Debbie not liking the suspense said, "But what Garrett?"

Garrett looked at the people he considered family and said ashamed, "He got trapped in their dimension with them, I don't know when or if he'll be back."

Garrett waited for the yells and hurt cries but instead he felt a cold rag being wiped on his face.

Garrett looked and saw Debbie was wiping his injuries clean without a care. He glanced at Mark who had just gone and sat on the couch and turned on the news.

Garrett looked at the two confused before saying, "uh... Did you-"

Debbie cut him off saying, "We heard you."

Garrett still confused looked at his friend who looked at him from the couch saying, "You think this is the first time my dad's been to another dimension?"

Garrett couldn't believe how nonchalant the two were being saying, "But you guys were so scared for him when he was in the hospital?"

Debbie went to freshen up her rag saying, "That's because we haven't seen him that hurt before but fighting aliens in a separate dimension? That's just Tuesday for us."

Debbie came back and continued to wipe Garretts face while he just slowly relaxed realizing his concerns were unwarranted.

A little while later Garrett and Mark were sitting on the couch watching the news to see if anything was said about Omni-Man.

Debbie meanwhile was busying herself in the kitchen making a curry dinner since Garrett was visiting and it was one of his favorite dishes.

However, the three were surpsied when Nolan suddenly walked through the fron door saying, "I need a shower."

Mark and Debbie smiled seeing him before walking over asMark said "Dad!" and the three embraced.

Garrett smiled at the sight, happy to see Omni-Man was okay and the Flaxens Dimension hadn't affected that much save for a black beard that went to his neck and the crazy amount of dirt on his costume.

Garrett was torn from the sight though as he heard the news on the tv announce a breaking report. Garrett watched and listened as the reporter was handed a piece of paper before her expression became horrified as she glanced at the paper then camera several times. The reporter finally composed herself before saying, "I... I don't know how to report this but...The Guardians of the Globe...are dead."

Garrett watched the news stunned, unable to comprehend that the planet's strongest heroes were dead. As Cecil's offer for the tryouts began to click in Garretts mind Omni-Man casted a subtle glare at the news before he shifted his Gaze to Garrett, his decision unclear on how to handle the son of Conquest yet.

xxLine Breakxx

During dinner with the Graysons, Nolan told Garrett about how he and the guardians had been lured to Guardians HQ where they were attacked and how Nolan ended up in the condition he had been in.

Nolan also told Garrett that a funeral would be held the next day for the fallen heroes but said there would be a second funeral at a secret location so the heroes could be buried in piece without the fear of grave robbers.

Garrett was again surprised when Nolan gave him the location of the secret funeral stating he had more than earned his place there.

After saying his goodbyes Garrett flew home while processing everything he had learned.

He touched down in the alley by his apartment before he moved his left arm a couple times noticing it felt fine now.

Garrett removed his sling and threw it in a dumpster before placing a hand on his eye making him hiss in pain as he thought, "Well, I least I heal pretty quick."

Garrett went into his building before walking up to his apartment's floor. He unlocked his door and walked in without looking up.

He closed his door and turned around only to be surprised to see someone sitting on his bed.

The person in question was woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, She had short black hair styled in a pixie cut, she had blue eyes, she had a beaty mark on the left side of her chin, her whole frame was fit but not overly muscular, she was wearing an all-white outfit that consisted of a form fitting long sleeve shirt, form fitting pants with a small skirt, boots, and there was a symbol of a circle with three diagonal lines inside it on her chest.

The woman smirked at him as she leaned back on his bed saying, "About time you got here. I don't understand how you can stand to live in this filth." as the woman wiped her hand on her pants after she touched his bedding.

Garrett was stunned that a random woman was in his apartment talking to him casually.

Granted she was attractive, but Garrett was more concerned about the fact he had no idea who she was, and she somehow got inside when he knew the door was locked, not to mention he lived on the fourth floor of a five-story building.

Garrett clenched his fist prepared for anything as he said, "Who are you? And why the hell are you in my apartment?"

The woman stood up wiping her hands again before posing herself sensually while saying, "My name is Anissa, and I've to come to assess you."

Garrett gave the woman a harsh look saying, "assess me for what?"

The womans gaze suddenly got dark as she said, "to see if your worthy of living."

Next thing Garrett knew Anissa had tackled him and they blasted through his apartments door and wall destroying them both.

Anissa forced the two of them outside before she dragged Garrett into the sky then reeled her fist back and punched him sending Garrett soaring across the sky.

Garrett quickly righted himself and slowed himself down in the air before Anissa was suddenly in front of him the force of her speed coming at him like it was wind.

Anissa crossed her arms and smirked saying, "impressive, you not only survived my hit but you were able to recover yourself rather quickly."

Garrett quickly squared up as Anissa charged him while shouting, "This might be fun after all!"

Garrett more prepared this time, caught the woman in a grapple before he punched her across the face.

Anissa's head turned from the force of the hit, but she looked back at Garrett with a smile and no damage done at all.

Garrett pushed the woman off him as she spoke saying, "Not bad, but if you really want to do damage." Anissa suddenly kneed Garrett in the stomach making him vomit his dinner and some blood before going flying into the sky.

Anissa smirked before moving so fast she appeared above the rookie hero shouting, "Go for the weak points!"

Anissa slammed a hammer fist dead center into Garrett's back making him yell in pain before flying downwards to the ground.

Garrett landed on the ground in a crater and as he struggled to get up, he knew he was hurt more than he was earlier. He could feel his back yelling at him, and he could barely stand straight since his stomach throbbed so much.

Anissa suddenly landed in front of him with a disappointed frown saying, "Is this really all you have? I expected more from the son of Conquest."

Garrett suddenly began processing what Anissa just said and his mind began going blank again as one sentence echoed in his mind. "Son of Conquest...Son of Conquest...Son of Conquest."

This time it was Anissa who was surprised as Garrett suddenly tackled her in a crazy burst of speed. Garrett gripped Anissa's clothes collar and shouted, "Who the fuck is Conquest!?" before he punched Anissa dead center in the face sending her flying.

Anissa flew for a few yards before righting herself in the air and checked her face. She was shocked to see Garrett had broken her nose. She glared for a second before grabbing her nose and forcing it back into place without flinching.

She sudden shocked though as Garrett appeared in a flash and struck her in the stomach with a kick while shouting, "Tell me!"

Anissa went soaring downwards as she flipped multiple times in the air before righting herself again, but Garret ambushed her slamming his feet into her driving them both into the ground.

Garrett was going to continue but Anissa flipped him onto his back before mounting him and started to punch him relentlessly with a smile.

Garrett suddenly felt the strength he had leave him as Anissa laid into him, she attacked him with glee shouting "Yes! That's what I wanted, that's what I want to see!"

Garrett was both relieved and curious when Anissa suddenly stopped punching him and fell next to him on the ground.

Garrett knew hie had a broken rib and a different one was cracked now, he felt a couple of his teeth were gone, the cuts on his face were now open again along with new ones, and he honestly had no idea how his back was doing.

As Garrett was thinking about his injuries Anissa sat up before looking at him saying, "I apologize for your injuries, but I had to be sure of who you were."

In actuality, Anissa was just making sure Conquest hadn't made a weak offspring, but her job was to convince Conquest's son to join Viltrum so if she had to lie so be it.

Garrett glanced at the woman next to him and angrily said, "You're saying, you kicked my ass just to see if I'd live afterwards?"

Anissa kept her act up saying, "Yes and no."

Garrett wanted to move to attack her but couldn't Anissa seeing this said, "I wouldn't move right now, your healing will get you there in a few hours."

Garrett growled before saying, "What the fuck are you saying? How do you know about me?"

Anissa looked at Garrett seriously and said, "I know about you because I'm like you."

Garrett didn't express anything making Anissa assume she could continue as she said, "You're a Viltrumite or at least half of one."

Garret's eyes would've widened in shock after hearing he is part alien if he wasn't hurting so bad.

Anissa spoke again saying, "Viltrum is a beautiful planet that exists light years away from here. Our people are an advanced and powerful race, we can fly, heal from almost any injury, have tremendous strength, and move at super sonic speeds."

Garrett knowing something was wrong since she hyped up her home so much said, "If your planet is so great, why the fuck are you here kicking my ass?"

Anissa frowned realizing Conquest's son was smarter than she thought. She tried thinking of an explanation that would work better than the truth but couldn't come up with anything. So, she decided to take a risk and told him a half-truth.

Anissa looked at Garrett very seriously before unashamed mounted him again as she put her face close to his own saying, "The real truth is, there are only over 50 Viltrumites left in the universe, and we are trying to find a safe planet to save our species."

Garrett got suddenly very uncomfortable, since the attractive woman just told him she is trying to save her species while laying on top of him.

If Garrett's face didn't have blood on it Anissa would've seen the blush he had as he spoke saying, "Well, umm, that sucks for a lack of better terms. Genocide is horrible no matter how you look at it."

Garrett moved his jaw and body a little noticing it was getting easier to talk as Anissa smiled at Garretts response.

Garrett looked up at the woman who still hadn't gotten off him saying, "Ok, so Viltrum is in trouble, and you want to use earth for what?"

Anissa again took a risk noticing she was starting to get Garrett and said, "After Finding out about you, our scientists have discovered humans and Viltrumites can produce 99.9% hybrid offspring."

Garrett suddenly got mad and sat up surprising Anissa as she got off him and noticing how quick he was healing before he angrily stated, "Your gonna turn earth into a Fucking breeding camp!"

Anissa seeing, she was losing Garrett said, "No, we would live among you unnoticed, we interact with you and have children, and should the need arise protect the planet and our future offspring." The last part was a lie, but he didn't need to know that.

Garrett despite everything was considering what Anissa was saying and no matter what he firmly believed killing off an entire species was never ok.

Anissa seeing, she was winning Garrett over sweetened the offer saying, "As a bonus for helping Viltrum, I can tell you who your father is and train you to fight him if you so choose."

Any concern Garrett may have had flew out the window at the mention of his maker.

Garrett suddenly moved to his knees shocking Anissa again as Garrett began forcing himself to his feet, his injuries half healed already.

Garret looked at Anissa with a vicious snarl before asking in a rage filled voice "Who. Is. He."

Anissa needing confirmation asked, "Will you help Viltrum when we arrive to the planet?"

Garrett once again shocked Anissa as he began walking towards her still snarling and asked again, "Who. Is. He."

Anissa taking that as a yes replied, "His name is Conquest, he is Viltrums most brutal and deadliest soldier. He has the strength to destroy planets by himself with ease."

Garrett looked at her seriously and asked, "You said you'd train me?"

Anissa had a victorious smile as she said, "yes."

Garrett took a breath before he made a deal with a devil saying, "Meet me here tomorrow at four. We'll start then."

Garrett turned her back to her and said, "By the way, my name is Garrett." He then flew back to his home while memorizing his current location for his meet up tomorrow.

Anissa looked around making sure there was no one around before pressing a button on her wrist and speaking in the Viltrum Code saying, "Success, Conquest son has agreed not to interfere with mission. Mission parameters have forced me to stay longer, however.

A male voice responded to her saying, "Acknowledged, but don't stay for long, we made need you elsewhere."

Anissa just smirked before taking to the sky while thinking, "Nolan, your pathetic."

When Garrett got home his landlord gave him a new one about his door and wall before stating that the repairs were coming out of his security deposit.

Garrett was too tired and hurt to care as he blocked off the hole in his apartment when he was alone and went straight to bed clothes and all.
