"Relationships are never easy, especially when it involves that of a bounty hunter that's spent years hunting down outlaws and criminals. And a girl from a planet that involves joy and rather cute things who desires someone to give her love and attention, that's the situation for both Sledge and Poisandra. While for Atom Eve and Rex? Not so much since she learned about how he cheated on her with Dupli-Kate, all three of her selves. Mark's situation? He had none of that since all he wanted to do was try and be as strong as his dad, however with him handling both time being a hero and high school kid. He didn't have that much time handling both while having a personal alien body squad."

Mark Grayson's home-Morning

It was a pleasant morning at the house of Grayson, so far with how much has happened. His mom thought it be good if he just hanged out here than going off battling costumed weirdos and villains. Downstairs was Nolan Grayson, who was helping his wife Debbie with the cooking. It's been a rough few days since the death of the Guardians along of this new 'help' their son was given.

"I just still don't see why Cecil hired those goons to be near Mark. He's a tough kid, he can handle anything."

Nolan speaking out as he had finished making some toast as he placed them at the table, while for Debbie. Who was getting some drinks out of the fridge felt like he was right, however from what Mark told her about them. They seemed rather misunderstood than goons since they came here on this planet.

"While I could agree on you with how they acted at the White House, maybe they didn't know what was happening. Like a certain visitor that saved me from a car."

Debbie agreeing with how it was true they should be on guard about his so called 'bodyguards', however from how they helped out with the Mount Rushmore incident. Showed them that they aren't what the news made them to be, the mustached man merely breathes in still having doubts about them.

"Well I still don't trust them. Still doesn't mean Mark should take this for granted, he needs to learn how to handle a punch even if he's going have a group."

Responding to her as they soon sat down enjoying their breakfast, soon enough they heard some footsteps coming down as it was Mark. Who smelled the food from upstairs as he decides to join them.

"So, if your wondering about 'them'. Their going be at the Teen Team's old base while the others go to the Guardians base, so they won't be hanging around here."

Informing them that they weren't going to sleep here and have Nolan worried about having aliens near his wife and son, though while it was good news. Debbie, gestured Nolan to talk to him about something important. In which he realized what he meant, which involved normal life.

"Mark, there's something that your mother wanted to talk about, though with well. Girls."

Nolan trying to slowly start up a conversation between him about that of a dating life if he ever gotten into it. Mark, looked a bit weird about the conversation as well where it was going seeing how he didn't expect it to be in the middle of the morning.

"It's not wrong to date someone, hell if it wasn't for your mother. I wouldn't have understand most things on earth."

Explaining that Debbie was the reason why he got into the superhero business, in which she smiled by his side. It still made Mark much more uncomfortable as his parents were always good to one another, but sometimes would get a bit cringe for him. In which Nolan had to be serious to make sure his son doesn't make any mistakes.

"It's the tricky part of the job, balancing what you wanna do, with what you need to do."

Bringing up how while he would be saving the day from time to time like he did, he always has to make sure there was things such as having a life and forming relationships. Mark, merely nodded to him seeing how that seemed important to know.

"Remember, you're not just a superhero, Mark. You're a Viltrumite. We have, responsibilities that normal humans don't."

Having to remind him that he himself wasn't all human, that he was half alien from a planet which have a duty to protecting other worlds. Let alone making sure they don't fall into dangerous hands or destroyed by mad men or monsters. Mark, nodded at him as he got the message about it.

"And also make sure that if you date a girl, she knows the real you."

Debbie finishing the talk as Mark felt both embarrassed and annoyed that he didn't know if he would have a girlfriend, let alone would try to since it wasn't exactly easy for him to ask someone out. Lucky enough the doorbell rang in which was a sign of relief for Mark as he rushed over to see who it was. Opening the door, Mark it was his friend William.

"Morning Mark, hey Mr. and Mrs. Grayson. Had to come get lazy here, have a test this morning."

Greeting the folks as well Mark as the boy walked over to get his back and said his goodbye to the two of his parents before heading out. Nolan, merely sighs seeing how it was going take a while for him to have Mark understand the Viltrumite way. While for Debbie, wanted for him to be what he wants and try to have much as a normal life as possible.

Later at School

Walking pass several blocks to the high school, both of them were talking about the incident with the Mount Rushmore attack since half of the school was talking about it. New hero Invincible teams up with Guardian attackers.

"Literally half of the guys at school think it's some weird conspiracy, the government made those four weirdos to attack the guardians to see if they could handle man made monsters. Then, when the guardians die. Rest their souls, they come out and start helping Invincible of all people."

William talking about how lately people had gotten spoked about these 'monsters' now possibly fighting with heroes. Especially how with the invasion which is called "Flaxan Attack." Which involved them assisting the Teen Team. Mark, merely rolls his eyes about that seeing he wanted to avoid the topic. Quickly enough they arrive at school, the two notice Eve at the side. In which she looked a bit unsure about something going on.

"Eve? What's wrong? Todd being a jerkoff again?"

Mark asking seeing how there was something bothering her, though not in the bad way. More like in the embarrassed way, the two boys looked to the side where they saw the school bully. Being bullied by someone else, or by a small group in which showed Todd held up at a wall. Along of that it was a teenager having dark brown hair, red glass's with a green shirt with a long sleeve brown jacket.

"Oh hell no."

Thinking in his head as Mark was somehow seeing a 'human' version of Sledge, seeing how by his side was his crew that had human disguises over them. On the side was Fury, due to how he had on a thunder bolt on the front of his shirt as well had a short sleeve fest showing off his arms along had long brown hair with dark tan skin. By him was Wrench, who had on a pair of glasses over him while having the appearance of the smart person in the group. The last one was Poisandra, who had tan skin as well dyed pink hair. While wearing a leather jacket with a matching spiked collar and with pink skirt.

"I didn't mean to say she's eye candy. I was.."

Before Todd could apologies for possibly hitting on Poisandra, Sledge lifted him upwards and up to the wall seeing how that offended him on how he meant by that. Mark, merely shook his head seeing that things were going go to hell at any moment.

"So your saying my girlfriend isn't pretty? That she isn't worth my time? Because she's the only girl I'd take bullet before letting some ass hat talk fresh behind her back."

Sledge threatening seeing how he thought Todd was calling her gross, Poisandra while still not exactly alright with him on how he wasn't informing the GDA about the chance of outlaws he's captured may be roaming around. Though that type of trouble went away when he was defending her from people trying to sway her.

"Come on babe, let him go. He's just a idiot not knowing what to say, since I bet he's never had a lady touch him in long time. Haven't ya big boy?"

Poisandra teasing him while sucking on a lollipop as the boy wanted to try and say something, though Fury made sure Todd wouldn't try anything since he was itching to break someone's nose. Though as the four made the bully now afraid, they heard a certain cough from the side seeing that of Mark with William and Eve by his side.

"Oh, hi Mark. This doesn't exactly look like what it seems, it's just this guy said something rude to. Posey, so. Sloan, wanted to try and make sure he doesn't mess with him."

Wrench trying to explain to Mark about what happened, in which he believed the robot disguised as a human. Gesturing to 'Sloan' in letting go of Todd. He does so, in which the now former bully thanked him as he made his way into the school.

"You know these guys? They kinda look like there from a nineties punk rock video."

Will asking quietly noticing the eyes of Fury on him like if he was prey, before anyone could speak. Eve, decided to break the ice seeing how she met them first before the others did.

"There, a exchange group from another school. This is Wright, Ford, Posey and Sloan."

She introduced them to the group to Will and Mark, seeing how they seemed out of a old school year book. Soon enough the school bell begun to ring meaning they had to head inside of the building, not saying anything. The group headed inside where Mark pulled Sledge over using his super strength seeing how he had it coming.

"Ok, I get the fact your some sort of body guard. But isn't there a rule of how they shouldn't be at a school? Full of people that will start a scene you do something?"

"There is? Because for the record, this has nothing to do with Cecil. I just wanted to see what this place offered since this is the only place you come to when not getting your ass kicked."

Making joke of how so far from being here, Mark still had a long ay to go. However from how Sledge responded to the boy, this was serious seeing how he was doing this on purpose. Along of how if they did anything unusual, they'd get exposed as well hauled off by Cecil and get locked up.

"Funny. But you all seriously have to get out of here. Otherwise, these people will tell the whole damn internet that the aliens responsible for getting the guardians killed."

Bringing up a still sore concept that when they arrived, the four were the last beings that the Guardians fought against before their deaths. Sledge, merely shook his fist with how humans were still talking about that the aliens were connected to the former heroes deaths.

"For the last damn time, I did, not fucking.."

Sledge slowly about to lose his temper, Mark notices a girl coming over to the side. Making him stop the out burst, the two soon see a dark skin girl walking over and noticing the conversation happening. In which she could tell there was something off with the moment, Mark. Merely smiled to her expressing that things were alright.

"Hey Amber, how's it going?"

He asked trying to make things look normal and not like both he and Sledge were going have to argue about who was responsible for the Guardians death. Amber, merely did a slight nod at her friend along the boy near him.

"Ok, just wanted to tell you that I just bought a new camera for photography class. Maybe after school you can test it out with some photos?"

Asking for a favor in which Mark nodded seeing how he'd be glad to help, as she heads off to her class. Sledge looked at him curious of who she was to him, Mark. Looked annoyed of how Amber was someone he and the others needed to avoid.

"She, is a photographer for the school news. As well documents about important events, so please. If you want to stay here, and see what 'normal' is. Don't, do anything that's going get her attention."

Putting a lot of weight on those words as it was a serious thing, Sledge. Rolled his eyes as he would agree to them, while bothersome. He'd do it so that he could keep his and the crew's identities a secret, as they found some ground terms about how things would go if he would attend the school. Mark begun to get a phone call from Cecil. Answering it he went to the side seeing what was up.

"We got a unidentified object coming to earth, I'd contact your dad but he took your mom to Italy. Had some men contact your teachers on you and Sledge being out, suit up."

Making it brief for him as the phone hung up, turning over to Sledge. It appeared they had a job to do, gesturing him to follow. Sledge smiled seeing if he could handle this without needing to save him again.

Above the atmosphere of Earth

Flying high above the surface of the planet, both Invincible and Sledge were rocketing right upwards. Reaching the cold and endless space, Mark took in a breath of air as he made sure to keep it in his lungs while reaching space. For Sledge, his mask helped him survive the atmosphere while making sure he didn't suffocation and having his head blown up.

"Alright, so apparently from what my dad told me about him was this guy usually visit's Earth in three years. Told me to knock some sense into him and make him go away."

Mark speaking telepathic to Sledge as the armored alien was confused how he was able to hear him, let alone that he had no type of communication device nor a helmet on to talk to him.

"Wait, how the hell did I hear you. And how the hell can you talk to me in space? What kind of human are you?!"

Getting freaked out by the new ability, in which the two arrived at the spot where the unidentified object stopped. The two took a moment to look around to see where it was, in which they saw nothing. However coming behind Mark fast, it hits him fast making him fly back. Sledge pulling out his blaster seeing who hit the kid see's the attacker. A male alien, having orange skin with a burgundy collared suit that was white. He had on metal belt around him and one eye.

"Hey, you early. And you shaved your mustache, good look. Didn't expect you to bring help though, really unlike yourself."

The alien spoke out in telepathy as it apparently was a trait these people had, regaining control. Mark got serious as he was ready to handle this possible invader. Looking at Sledge, the armored alien decided to keep out of this fight.

"If your dad knows how to handle him, you can handle this. Imma seat this out."

Sledge informing him as Mark looked at the cyclops, to which he charges straight at him. Body tackling him, Invincible sent the alien flying to that of a satellite dish. Slowing down, the alien smiled as he grabbed a hold of the large dish.

"Not bad. But if your trying to tackle me into something, your moon is that way!"

Giving him advice as the cyclops hurls the dish at the boy, seeing it coming at him fast. Mark dodges it and stops it in time, checking the cyclops alien. He soon gets punched in the face, doing the same to the alien. The cyclops didn't look exactly phased but more disappointed in lack of strength.

"That's what you call 'protecting your planet'? I'm sad for your people!"

Responding to the punch as he did it again, only thing time in his stomach making Mark gasp. However, he lost his air along begun coughing. The cyclops then punches him hard enough to send him back to Earth's atmosphere, Sledge. On the side could tell it was time in, in which he fires a shot behind the alien's head which did nothing.

"He's a rookie, try someone who's wrangled outlaws for a living."

Sledge announcing as he decided to rush in and take the fight, sending the cyclops flying. He steadied himself while looking at the armored attacker, the cyclops thought he'd seen him before.

"Something about you looks very familiar, I can't put my eye on it. Oh well."

Shrugging his shoulders as he flies straight for Sledge, the two engaging in one another. They were pushing one another back as their strength seemed almost evenly matched, however before Sledge had the chance to attack him. There was someone coming to them fast, moving out of the way. Sledge saw Mark rushing at the invader and hitting his chest hard as he was taking the invader away from earth.

"Really? You tried this already."

Asking Invincible about how he was charging into him again wouldn't work, though he looked behind him seeing the moon. To which the pair soon made a powerful landing having smoke rise up from the moon, flying over to the sight. Sledge landed near the rocks to see if any of them survived, while Mark seemed alright. The invader was as well in which he walked over looking rather glad about the attack.

"Maybe you'll do after all."

"What are you even talking about?"

Asking the alien as Mark tried to figure out what the issue was, though it was interrupted by the cyclops tackling him to the ground. Sledge, crossed his arms watch the cyclops beating him as it wasn't that bad. Blocking the attack, Invincible tried to reason with the alien as he wanted to talk. Suddenly, the cyclops stopped seeing how the human wanted to talk to him.

"Are you using your time out?"

He asked Mark seeing how neither he nor Sledge knew about this which made the invader confused seeing how they had be informed about the 'rules' he was talking about to the two.

"Look, I didn't invent the rules. But since you called a time out, I gotta follow them."

"What rules? I don't even know who you are!"

Mark responding in a confused matter on what he was talking about. More or less of what type of rules he was bringing up, seeing how both of them didn't understand what he meant. The cyclops decided to end the fight as well bring over a large rock to seat on, he gave both Invincible and Sledge two smaller rocks for them. Confused by this, they sat down to see what this was all about.

"Alright, I'm an evaluation officer for the Coalition of Planets. I drop by little dirtballs like yours to make sure there's someone capable of defending them against, you know, planet-conquering monsters, things of that nature. To which your planet, Urath signed up for the program."

Summarizing why he was here along making sure to determine if it needed either someone to protect the plant from the coalition. Or see if it had their own protector, bringing out his tablet. He presented to the two, in which Mark checked the name of the planet. However it wasn't there planet but another one.

"Urath! This is Earth! With a E!"

Correcting the cyclops as he looked at the name of the world, in which had a 'U' in front of the name. Looking at it again, the alien looked back at the tablet seeing it was different. He slapped his forehead seeing how he made a mistake.

"Oh. Damn it, the guys back at the office are going kill me for this. Thanks for letting me know. I'm Allen, by the way."

Introducing himself to the pair as the two seemed like the fight had ended, while Sledge was still not exactly on board with this. Mark could trust him, seeing Allen's hand. He shook it seeing that the alien didn't seem that bad, Sledge. Just crossed his arms not saying anything during the moment.

"Invincible. The armored goon there is Sledge, he's like my sidekick."

Doing the same with Allen introducing himself to the officer along Sledge, in which Allen took a better look at him. From the green skin and armor, the name made him think about someone. However, Allen merely let out a telepathic laugh which the two thought it was weird of him to be doing it.

"Sorry, it's just that. Sledge is a name of a bounty hunter that's traveled planet to planet hunting down outlaws. As well much bigger than him, no offense. If you want to burrow the name that's fine, just don't let the original see you. He's much more aggressive up close."

Allen explaining to them as Mark, merely turned to Sledge about what he meant by that. Soon enough Allen headed off back to space traveling towards the Coalition, however. The moment between Mark and Sledge as there seem to be a secret with him, seeing how there was much that Mark didn't know about his apparent 'alien bodyguard'.

"Alright, yes. I'm, that Sledge. Along hunted several other types of aliens that, did bad things. I was going tell you but now after a damn cop just told you, might as well bring out into the open."

Sledge stating that he was going to tell him about his life when it seemed right, though now it was out in the open. It was too late, Mark. Merely nodded seeing how there had to be something about him that didn't make sense. In which he wanted to know something when the four arrived onto earth.

"Were you after my dad? Because he was a Viltrumite?"

"I don't even that race, I was hunting someone else with experimental weapon. Who might have blown up when he almost used it on me, which did nothing but send us here to your planet."

Explaining his situation to Mark of how there was nothing on Omni Man that a bounty hunter like him would be interested in. Which made Mark somewhat relief how his dad wasn't some kind of space criminal. The two took a moment to let that news settle along looking at the earth, seeing how it was already full of trouble. The last thing Mark needed to worry about was a bounty hunter losing his captured bounty running around on his home.

"Well, what about the prisoners?"

Asking Sledge in which made the armored alien sigh at the comment, seeing that he had to bring it up. Which Mark could tell that there was a another issue, leaving the two somewhat more divided with that there could be a chance of alien outlaws running around on Earth.

Back in the City

Within the alleyways of the street, was that of a gang fight happening between that of small group of arms dealers against a man made out of solid rock. He was making a run straight through them along making quick work of them. Taking the bullets as well throwing them against the wall, the criminals had no chance against him.

"You got two options, pay Machine Head for the gun selling your doing behind his back. Or leave, with around ten thousand dollars worth of medical bills."

The armored rock man informing them as they merely shot at him again, rushing to the side. He needed to wait out as his armor slowly regenerated. Rushing towards them, the rock man continued to either break the armed men or kill them with a single move. As things looked dismal, one of the men looked to the side whistling to the others.

"Bring out that chest freak!"

Shouting out as the two goons rushed to the side of another room, kicking the door. They were calling out someone to help them with this man, coming out. Was a strange creature who looked like a walking treasure chest. Having a crown for a head, he was holding a golden pickaxe as he saw the commotion going on.

"If you want to be free, then go kill that freak!"

Giving the creature a order as the treasure chest nodded as he noticed the living rock man, charging at him. The attacker saw the monster coming at him, along saw the collar with that of a explosive device on him. Watching the attacks, the rock man quickly grabbed him by the neck and lifted the creature into the air. One of the men had a detonator in his hand.

"Blow them both the fuck up!"

The leader giving one of his men a order in which the switch was flipped, however. The rock man removed the collar off the treasure man's neck, it exploded in his hand as he ignored the attack. Looking confused, the rock man offered his hand to the imprisoned creature.

"Wanna be free? Help me kill these punks."

Giving him a chance as the treasure chest creature nodded seeing how this was possibly the only time a human wasn't shouting at him. More or less threatening to kill him with a explosive, the gang men quickly unload their guns on him. However the creature was able to stop the attacks with his chest, the bullets drop onto the ground as the creature was now free to hurt his captors.

"Thank you my good man, name's Gold Digger."

"I can tell, Titan."

Introducing to one another as the two looked at the frighten gang members before charging towards them. The only thing that filled the room as well the rest of the building was that of screams and bones breaking. As Gold Digger had found someone he might trust, seeing how he was able to survive the crash from Sledge's ship. Not knowing if the other prisoners survived.
