Before we begin, be sure to check out to co-author's justimtaylor48's 'One Last Hope' a direct part of this story, focusing on how the Multi-verse was affected by the Snap. Give it a read when you have the chance.
With that said, let us begin the TRUE beginning of 'Endgame.'
Read, review and be safe!
"This it?" Trini says as the approach the cabin.
When she learned Tony had all but retired from fighting and left Stark Industries in the hands of more 'ethical businessmen' under Pepper's guidance, she had been expecting him to settle down into a luxurious mansion. To see him settle for a lakeside cabin was...interesting to say the least.
"Yes" Steve said as Tony, reading a book on the front porch noticed them.
"Well. This is a nice surprise." He smiled,.
"Can we talk to you for a minute?" Natasha asks
"Yeah." Tony answered, just as Pepper came outside, a tray of smoothies in her hands. Tony was surprised for a second, then smiled. "Okay, which one?"
"Social Media, Steve." She smiled, giving her husband a kiss on the forehead. "Good to see everyone aga...what's with the staring?"
Pepper's belly had a bump. Many had gasped in shock at the realization.
(AN: Keep in mind that here, only a few months have passed and not the full five years)
"So we actually figured out a way to bring everyone back, its gonna sound crazy but hear me out" Scott says as he explained his plan
"So basically you wanna do a time heist?" Tony asked
"Yeah essentially a time heist" Scott
"And you guys agreed?" Tony asked again
"We know it sounds crazy" Trini says
"No its just time travel hasn't been proven yet and your basing this off of back to the future. Even if this does work, i cant risk everything i have. Sorry" tony says as Scott's face gets more and more serious
"Wait Mr Stark, we know it sounds absolutely nuts but we have a chance to bring everyone back and you're not wanting to help us because?" Trini says
"And to be fair Mr Stark I came from the future...I'm living breathing proof that it can be done" Alita said as Mr Stark gets up
"Let me ask ya this Ghost in the shell, can your time travel be recreated in the present? With our technology?" Tony asked
"Fair point" Alita said, then taking an offence. " 'Ghost in the Shell?' Really? Why does EVERYONE keep..."
Her rant went ignored as Steve tried to appeal to Tony once more.
"Tony...we need you, but if you don't want to, i understand...you have a family now and im happy for you. I know you don't wanna risk it" Steve says
"Thanks Cap, but ive made my decision." Tony answered. "I...I got a kid on the way."
This gave everyone pause.
"I am NOT screwing this up. Not after the Snap. THIS? This is my second chance; be the dad I didn't have and be someone who will actually be there for the kid..."
He held back tears before recomposing himself.
"If y'all don't talk shop, you can stay for lunch" Tony says as he stood up to walk away.
"Peter's alive." Trini said suddenly, making the genius pause in his steps.
"...What?"
While all that had been happening...
"So you're saying this purple creep actually killed half of everything in the multiverse?" Sam asked
"Yeah...he got hold of the stones and took out everyone Peter included...we got lucky with Peter and with you guys but apparently this Scott guy whoever he is has a plan to bring everyone back which seems easier said than done" Kim said
"Well we have to find this guy and kick his ass" Illayna said cracking her knuckles
"Well...we kinda did although he kinda lost his head when we did" Kim said, not liking to recall what happened on Planet Titan.
"OK so what you're saying is whatever is left of us have a plan?" Sonic says
"Basically although we don't know details yet" Jason said
The door bell rings as Peter and the group looks at the monitors to see a man on a motorcycle arriving.
"Who is that?" Peter asks
"Could be our mystery guy." Kim guesses as she presses a button
"Excuse me hi!, can you tell us why you're here?" Kim asks
"I need to see someone...Is Steve Rogers here?" The Man in a leather jacket asks
"No he left an hour and a half ago...he said if someone comes to let him know." Kim says
"Well i need to speak with him and i aint got time to wait Bub!" The Man says as he grows blades from his knuckles and slices through the door.
"Uh oh...security breach!" Peter said
"Ill go call Mr Rogers, you guys handle Mr Knuckle-blades!" Sonic says
"Got it, its morphing time!" Kim and Jason shouted as they morphed into their ranger armour.
"Karen activate the Iron Spider armour and the security measure within the compound while you're at it!" Peter commanded as his armour materializes. Doors close and windows shut with metal. As the group gets closer to the door
"Security breach detected...Measures activated" the system AI said as drones were sent out
"OK...the security measures should take care of him but im amazed about just how he got in" Jason says
"Lets stay on guard just in case" Peter says
As the group gets closer to the door, sonic grabs Kim's Phone and calls Steve.
"Steve, its Sonic...remember one of those mystery guests...well, hes here and he kinda broke in looking for you and he has blades growing out of his knuckles! We need you ASAP! No pressure" Sonic says as the phone hung up.
The group got in fighting stance as everything was silent for a moment. Then a yell was heard.
BALM!
Three blades rip through the door as Peter gets his web shooters ready!
"Alright...guys get ready crazy dude coming!" Jason says as the five newcomers get somewhere to hide
"We'll explain the crazy armour later just keep hidden" Kim said as the group of five understood.
The door falls down as the man walks in.
"Like i said...Where is he bub?" The man asked with another set of blades coming out of his right knuckle.
"We don't want any trouble...we told you he isn't here...please there's no need to fight" Peter says
"Do i look like i give two f-" The man gets cut off as he gets his hands web shot by Peter.
"That should keep you busy for a moment...why are you here?" Kim asked
"I'm here because whoever caused all this took some very important people from me and i need help. Plus i want answers as to how the hell im back because i was one of a lot who was turned to dust so someone better start talking before i start dicing" The man threatened.
"OK...Just calm down for a moment. Please." Sonic said as the man breathes
"Who are you?" Jason asks
"You can call me Logan...that's all you need to know" Logan introduced himself
"OK Mr Logan...did you see all black when you were dusted?" Peter asked
"Yeah...then i saw a bright light after" Logan said
"Well then in that case i think i know whats going on...i think you should stay here and everything will be answered." Sonic said as Jason cut off the webbing with his sword and Logan's blades go back into his knuckles giving Kim a look of disgust.
"What? Never seen a mutant before?" Logan asks
"Well no...that's kinda new...whats a mutant?" Kim asks
"Ill explain that once Mr Rogers gets here" Logan said
"In the meantime will y'all explain what the hell we just saw? Like the crazy armour and the web shooting?" Sam asked
"Well...we're part of the avengers...Peter is Spider Man and we're...Ranger Red and Ranger Pink" Kim explained "The armour is apart of our powers...and what you just saw was us trying to protect you guys" Kim continued
"Well that makes sense and Logan's a mutant?...Like us?" Sam asked
"Wait you're mutants too? How many mutants are there?" Peter asks
"literally hundreds of thousands, We're just six of them...each with a unique power and there is a special gene in our DNA that gives us our mutation...known as an X Gene. Someone could have hard skin, someone could read minds, Someone could even heal really quick like me" Logan explained.
"How come SHIELD didn't know about this?" Peter asked
"Maybe because they shut down before they could deal with it. That and this is the first time we're hearing of it so..." Kim guesses. 'That or maybe they do but..."
She struggled to find the words.
"We kinda take care of any of own who cause trouble." Logan mused.
"Makes sense to me i guess!" Sonic says
Outside the Compound
The car stopped as Steve and his group exit and see the obvious destruction
"Oh...my...God" Alita said as they enter through the damaged door and inspect it.
"How could one guy cause this? Even with Knuckle blades they'd have to be really really strong kind of metal like Alita's sword to cut through this" Trini says as Steve looks on and enters the hallway and walk past the sliced drones.
"Jeez...someone wasn't happy" Trini said
"Yeah and once he gets out of shock, Tony obviously needs to upgrade these things" Nat said as they enter the room.
"Welcome back" Sonic said as he laughed awkwardly.
"Hey guys...i could tell you guys had fun" Alita said
"Hey Ali" Sonic greeted as Alita smiled a bit
"Hey pal" Alita hugged Sonic as Steve and Nat looked around
"Looks like you kids handled this well...enough" Steve said
"You OK Petey?" Trini said as she hugged Peter
"I'm fine on account that i could've been sliced to bits had i hadn't webbed up our guest here and gave him some answers he needed" Peter said as everyone turned to the man known as Logan
"So...You were looking for me? Why? How'd you know I'd be here?" Steve asked
"I was more sent to find you by Charles Xavier...i just happened to know who i was looking for" Logan explained.
"You know me?" Steve asked
"Do you?" Kim asked
"You don't recognize me? We fought in the war together Cap... Does the name James ring a bell?" Logan asked
"Logan...so that's why im starting to recognize you" Steve remembered as he hugged him. Logan tensed but didn't break the hug, although he was clearly not comfortable.
"Wait a minute...so you two know each other but he almost diced us like tomatoes...and everyone's OK with this?...ARE WE MISSING SOMETHING?!" Sonic asked
"OK i guess some kind of explanation is in order here. "Steve chuckled and then began his tale.
"Logan and I used to fight in the war way back when...this was back after i became captain America...he was one of the best, then suddenly after we fought together a few times never saw him again. I just assumed he went on other missions or had possible been KIA, how he's still alive now i never know"
"That's because of delayed aging due to my mutation...which i kinda explained to these kids. Bur in short; a mutant is anybody born a special gene in your body, unlocking some kinda power so to speak. someone could have Hard skin, someone could control fire, even heal quickly like me...the claws are just an extra" Logan explained
"So...how many mutants are out there than just you?" Jason asks
"Hundreds of thousands including the five kids that you see sitting right there who i was actually hoping to be at Xavier's" Logan answers
