Spider-Verse Part 1 : Spider-Man always believed himself to be the only person bit by a radioactive spider, but when his Spidey-sense detects another, he jumps at the opportunity. Deep in a building in the middle of New York lays the only other person bit by that radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers: Cindy Moon, or as she calls herself, Silk. Pheromones flaring, Spider-Man and Silk escape the building, but after an intimate interaction, Silk is terrified to realize she left her home. Years ago, she chose to remain imprisoned there, with her captor saying that there was a family of hunters who would one day come for the Spider Totems of this dimension. Spidey, thinking it was merely a way to keep her in the house, reassures her safety, and Silk moves in with Peter. But as if by fate, a third Spider Totem appears to Spidey and Silk: Kaine, the Scarlet Spider. Created years ago when Norman Osborne attempted to clone Spider-Man, Kaine escaped the facility by faking his death. Recently, Kaine encountered a man who told him to seek out Peter Parker, to help him survive when the Inheritors arrived. As if on cue, Daemos, one of the main inheritors, arrives, proclaiming the beginning of the final hunt for Spider Totems, with Spider-Man of Earth-616 being the first victim. But before Daemos can attack, he is attacked by members of the Spider-Army: Spider-Woman, Spider-UK, Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Gwen, and Bruce Banner Spider-Man. The Spider-Army then warns Peter, Cindy, and Kaine that Daemos is a member of the Inheritors, who are on a mission to kill every Spider Totem in every dimension.
With little time remaining, Spider-Man 2099 opens a portal and pulls Peter, Kaine, and Cindy in with the rest of the rescue team. Once inside the portal, Peter is shocked to see hundreds of different Spider-Men and Spider-Women all sitting around. Confused, Peter asks why this dimension is safer than the others, which is answered by Cosmic Spider-Man, who explains to Peter that this dimension is protected by his powers, and that there is a war coming.
Meanwhile, Miles Morales and Ultimate Jessica Drew are attacked by Verna, but saved at the last second by other Spiders. When Miles and Ultimate Jessica Drew arrive in the safe zone, they see Peter Parker, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, Scarlet Spider, and Silk leave through a portal, which is soon revealed to be to the secret base of Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, who explains to Peter Parker that Silk and Kaine are the Bride and the Other, but before he can expand upon what he means, the group is attacked by Daemos, who Superior Spider-Man is able to kill. But soon after his death, a second Daemos enters the dimension, making Kaine and Ben Reilly, another clone of Spider-Man from a different universe, realize the Inheritors are cloning themselves, and that they have to be made somewhere.
Meanwhile, as Peter Parker prepares to leave through a portal, a dying Spider-Man tells Peter to protect the Bride, the Scion, and the Other no matter what. As he tells Peter this, Silk steals Peter's portal opener, hoping to draw the Inheritors away from the rest, only to be followed by Spider-Woman and Spider-Man Noir. In this new dimension, Spider-Man Noir is injured, leading to Silk and Spider-Woman bringing Spider-Man Noir back to his reality. However, while there, they encounter Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Girl (Anya). The three eventually trade out with Spider-Woman, taking over as the bodyguards for Silk, which they immediately fail at, as Silk escapes. With Silk now on the run and the Spiders hoping dimensions, it would seem that all is coming into place for the Inheritors.
After credits scene:
Ultimate Jessica Drew, Kaine, and Ben Reilly are shown exiting a portal into a technological paradise. As the three walk, they are stopped by robotic guards.
Guard: 'What are you doing outside of your group?!'
Unknown: 'I'll deal with them, boys'
Iron Man then appears from nowhere, and flies straight towards the three Spiders.

Captain America and the Invaders : Steve Rogers, now only a teacher as Bucky Barnes leads the Avengers under the Captain America name, was simply giving his students a lesson on Hydra when he was hit by a crack in reality. Suddenly; the leap forward of 70+ years Steve had adjusted to disappears around him, and Steve finds himself returned to the 1940's. Once there, Steve is also surprised to find himself in the Captain America suit once more. After talking with a nearby military officer, Steve learns that in this reality, he never disappeared into the ice and has continued to lead the Allies in WWII against the forces of Hydra and the Axis Powers. However, as Steve never took that cold plunge into the ice, Red Skull never died, instead using the cosmic cube to teleport back to Germany, where he assassinated Hitler and took complete control of the Nazi War Machine, albeit under the Hydra name.
With his arch-enemy alive and his best friend now the one on ice, Steve agrees to retake the mantle of Captain America and lead the Allies to victory. But to his surprise, he isn't alone, as he is joined by a small team of superheroes recruited by the United States: Namor the Sub-Mariner and Jim Hammond, the Living Android. Together, the three heroes form a group known as the Invaders, named after their historic invasion of the Fascist-Controlled Italian Peninsula. Thus, Cap, Jim, and Namor head to northern Italy, where the Allies are planning to push into Hydra-controlled Germany. The plan: Have the Invaders make the initial charge, taking out all anti-aircraft or anti-tank guns, allowing the Allies' tanks and planes to roll in behind them. Once in Germany, the Invaders are to locate a castle where Red Skull has supposedly set up shop, and assassinate him.
Though the first part of the plan is executed perfectly, getting into the castle proves less than easy, as the Invaders are attacked by what appear to be Frost Giants. Confused, the team continues deeper into the fortress, where they find not only Red Skull, but also a portal that the Red Skull is using to pull monsters from the Nine Realms and bring to Midgard, using them as part of his war machine. With Direwolves and Fire Demons, Red Skull battles the Invaders, but is unable to stop them from advancing and setting the portal to self-destruct. In retaliation, Red Skull attempts to jump through the portal, but the time distortions this causes sends a ripple throughout the world, bringing Captain America back to his timeline. Returned to the modern day with the shield and costume of another world, Steve Rogers decides to return to his superhero days as the Captain.
After credits scene:
The Captain is shown walking up to the New Avengers facility, when he is approached by the current Captain America, Bucky Barnes.

Squadron Supreme The Master's Plan : Since their defeat of President Rockefeller, much has changed for the Squadron Supreme: Nighthawk was elected as President, Power Princess as Secretary of State, Hyperion as Vice President, Doctor Spectrum as Secretary of Defense, and Speed Demon, Amphibian, and Skymax as the leading generals of the military. Just as everything seems to be going right, the Squadron Supreme are pulled out of their dimension by a being known as the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster then explains that he was the one who helped Rockefeller gain power as a way to test the Squadron Supreme of their might. When they defeated Rockefeller, Grandmaster knew they were the right choice to be his avatars for his contest against the time-traveling Scarlet Centurion. With no choice, the Squadron Supreme accept their roles, traveling to a dimension where the Scarlet Centurion has prepared his own team: The Institute of Evil, composed of Ape-X, Doctor Decibel, Foxfire, Lamprey, Quagmire, Shape, and Minx.
As both teams are now available, Grandmaster and Scarlet Centurion bring the teams to a dimension where Ultron wiped the Earth clean, and begin the competition. Almost immediately, the Institute of Evil splits up while the Squadron Supreme decides to stay together and journey across the world. However, after multiple ambushes by Ultron's robots, the Squadron decides that being in such a large party is more of a disadvantage than an advantage, and they split up into teams of two, with Hyperion heading his own way. Going in opposite directions, Hyperion eventually chances upon a volcano, where he encounters Foxfire, who attempts to disintegrate the invincible man, only to be defeated by Hyperion, who is then told to kill her by the Grandmaster. However, Hyperion refuses, requiring Scarlet Centurion to intervene and use an implanted chip within Foxfire to kill her. Angered at their lack of care for life, Hyperion enters the volcano, preventing the two masters of the world from following him, so that he may plan a way out of this situation without having anyone else die.
Meanwhile, Doctor Spectrum and Speed Demon have encountered Quagmire and Lamprey. Lamprey, using his energy absorption powers, attempts to absorb all of Doctor Spectrum's powers, but is overloaded with energy and explodes. With Lamprey dead, Doctor Spectrum has just enough power remaining to save Speed Demon from the explosion, which kills Quagmire. The scene then changes to Nighthawk and Power Princess, who have reached a metallic stream and are waiting for an ambush, which occurs when Minx and Ape-X arrive. During the conflict, Ape-X is thrown into the stream, which is revealed to be Nanobots that kill Ape-X. Following this, Nighthawk is able to convince Minx to instead join their team and oppose the Scarlet Centurion, something she almost accepts before the Scarlet Centurion declares foul play and orders Grandmaster to kill Nighthawk. Refusing, the Grandmaster proposes a 1v1 stadium fight between the two, which Scarlet Centurion agrees to. Nighthawk and Minx are then teleported to a stadium in the sky, where they are forced to fight to the death. Minx, reluctant to die, fights Nighthawk, who refuses to kill her, resulting in his death. As this occurs, Amphibian and Skymax are fighting Shape and Doctor Decibel, a fight they are losing, as Decibel's sound weapon has completely crippled Amphibian. Shape, however, is unable to fight off Skymax, who snaps his neck. Skymax then sneaks up on Decibel, disguised as Shape, and kills Decibel, who ups his weapon's power as he dies, killing Amphibian.
With only Minx remaining, Scarlet Centurion calls for Grandmaster's strongest to fight Minx, resulting in Minx being brought to the stadium to fight Hyperion. However, Hyperion is unwilling to fight and unable to be hurt, bringing the dual to a standstill. Grandmaster tries to fix this by freeing Hyperion from the obsidian, but it becomes clear that Hyperion has no intention to fight. Because Minx could never defeat Hyperion, Scarlet Centurion himself enters the stadium to kill Hyperion. But as he enters the playing field, he renders himself vulnerable, something Hyperion counted on. Now vulnerable, Hyperion defeats Scarlet Centurion, resulting in all who died being revived and sent home.
After credits scene:

Star Brand : Kevin Connor was just a normal college student when the White Event hit Earth, granting Kevin the blessing of the Star Brand. After destroying his entire college during the transformation, Connor attempts to go into hiding, only to be found by a being called Nightmask. Nightmask then explains that Kevin is a sign from the Gods, and that he is to be brought before Ex Nihilo, a creature of immense power. While bringing Kevin to Mars, Nightmask explains the origin of the Star Brand: Each universe possesses a monitoring station created by the first species to achieve sentience in their respective universe, where they monitor the health of the universe, releasing White Events for species that are about to become cosmically interesting. These White Events create the Star Brands, who are to act as their species' Shepard to the cosmos, bringing them into a new golden age. During this age, a species can either expand responsibly, creating a vast galactic empire, or irresponsibly, eventually devolving into anarchy. Through these Star Brands, the first species hopes to guide these species to successful empires, and Humanity is merely the newest species to receive the blessing of the Star Brand.
Arriving on Mars, Nightmask introduces Kevin to Ex Nihilo, who explains that he was the one who first granted Humans sentience after the Martian Empire he granted sentience devolved into anarchy when their Star Brand appeared. He then explains that Kevin seems to be different from the others, as this White Event sent a message to Nightmask: That the universe is broken. This message is startling to Ex Nihilo, who believes it to be a sign that Star Brand is to save the universe. However, the White Event always creates three beings: The Star Brand, the Cipher, and the Justice. The Justice and Cipher, the guardians of the Star Brand, must be found if Star Brand is to succeed. Thus, Star Brand is ordered to hunt down these other two and bring them before Ex Nihilo.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Swann, a scientist working for Project Spitfire, has awoken from a coma she entered hours ago when the White Event occurred. Now awake, Jennifer realizes that she now has the powers of technopathy, which Star Brand, who had just arrived, explains is the sign that she is the Cipher. Taking her with him, he brings her before Ex Nihilo, while he goes to hunt for the Justice, who is revealed to be the newly revived John Tensen. With the Justice now on his side, Star Brand returns to Ex Nihilo and Nightmask, where he, Justice, and Cipher request their next mission. However, Ex Nihilo explains that everything has been a ruse, and that he plans to kill Star Brand, Justice, and Cipher, gain their powers, then travel to the station of the first civilization, where he will use its power to take over the universe, then as the other universes collapse, he will rebuild them as his own multi universal empire.
With this sudden turn of betrayal, Star Brand, Cipher, Justice, and even Nightmask realize they've been lied to and escape Ex Nihilo. Back on Earth, scientists have begun warning the Earth over a meteor that is heading straight for Earth, which the four heroes realize has been thrown by Ex Nihilo. Heading back into space, the heroes push the meteor back towards Mars, then travel to the red planet where they fight Ex Nihilo. While they fight him, Nightmask destroys Ex Nihilo's control over the meteor, just as it begins to plummet to Earth. With Star Brand being the most important of the four, Justice and Cipher continue to fight Ex Nihilo as Nightmask teleports Star Brand back to Earth. Right as Star Brand reaches Earth, the meteor slams into Mars, creating a crater where Ex Nihilo was, killing him, Nightmask, Cipher, and Justice.
After credits scene:
Star Brand is shown back on his farm in Oklahoma, when Captain Universe appears before him.
Captain Universe: 'Star Brand Connor, I am Captain Universe, and I have come to request your help. What Ex Nihilo told you was not wrong: The universe is broken, and it needs your help. You are the last Star Brand, not just of our universe, but of all universes.'
Star Brand: 'What can I do?'
Captain Universe: 'Come with me.'
Star Brand nods, and the two teleport away.

West Coast Avengers Underworld : The West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye, Shroud, Hercules, Tigra, Darkhawk, Arachne, and X-51) return to fight for justice along the west coast, against any villains that would dare challenge them. After defeating the small time villain Needle, the West Coast Avengers are attacked by a new challenger: A man who claims to be from the underworld known as Tyrannus. Before the team can ambush him, however, Hercules blindly attacks him, allowing Tyrannus to escape.
When the WCA return to their mansion, they question Hercules's reasons for attacking Tyrannus, to which Hercules explains the backstory of Tyrannus: In the time of the Roman Empire, Tyrannus was a powerful Roman scientist who discovered the key to immortality. But when he tried to use his powers to overthrow the Gods of Olympus, Zeus punished him and condemned him to an underground city cut off from the world. What the Olympians didn't expect, however, was for the civilization to be alive and thriving, and when Tyrannus arrived, they worshipped him as a God. Thus, Tyrannus began to use his powers to unlock the full potential of the technology of the underground civilization, making him even stronger. After hundreds of years in this underworld, Tyrannus has chosen to return and take revenge on the world that imprisoned him. On cue, Tyrannus arrives at the West Coast Avenger's mansion with his army of underground followers, who he orders to begin destroying the mansion. Though the West Coast Avengers are able to escape his attack, the mansion is destroyed, leaving the WCA without a headquarters.
Temporarily moving to the headquarters of Rangers, the WCA begins to think of ways to eliminate Tyrannus, to which Hercules gives an idea the Olympians had thought of back when Tyrannus was first imprisoned: Launch him into space. Despite their hesitations, given the last person launched into space by the Avengers returned with a fleet of warships, the WCA agrees this is the best way to get rid of Tyrannus. However, without a way to get Tyrannus to space, the WCA's plan is useless. This, of course, is when Darkhawk says he is willing to sacrifice his Darkhawk armor to send Tyrannus to space.
While the WCA is unwilling to sacrifice Darkhawk's armor, they do come up with a better plan: Use War Machine's armor. Calling upon War Machine, Rhodey agrees to send over his Iron Patriot armor to the WCA, granting X-51 control of the armor. With the armor now under their control, the WCA head to a nearby highway, where they wait for Tyrannus. When Tyrannus and his army arrive, the team fights the army as X-51, who is controlling the Iron Patriot armor from afar, fights Tyrannus. Locking him in the suit, X-51 ejects Tyrannus into space, as well as sets the thrusters to detonate when he has left the solar system so that he cannot return. In rage for the murder of their God, the underground followers erupt into a frenzy, ordering all members of their race to begin wrecking the west coast.
Thus, to stop the underground dwellers from destroying everything along the west coast, the WCA summon all available members of both the WCA and the Rangers together. Composed of Hawkeye, Tigra, Wonder-Man, Hercules, War Machine, Arachne, X-51, Darkhawk, US Agent, Shroud, Firebird, Phantom Rider, Red Wolf, Shooting Star, and Texas Twister, this new super team heads out to Los Angeles, where Tyrannus's followers are attacking, and fight them off, making the leader of the followers agree to never return and attack the west coast again.

Spider-Verse Part 2 : The Spider-Verse saga continues just where it left off, as Tony Stark attacks Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Ultimate Jessica Drew. However, due to previous knowledge, Ultimate Jessica Drew is able to deactivate Tony's armor, which allows the three to interrogate him. They learn that this world's technology is the result of the combined knowledge of Tony Stark and Jennix, another Inheritor. Hoping to end the cloning program, Ben Reilly, now in Tony's armor, takes Ultimate Jessica Drew and Kaine to Stark Tower, where Jennix is located.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker has returned to the safe zone, where he plans to obtain a cloaking device from Superior Spider-Man and give it to Spider-Man Noir to protect him. At the same time, Peter also recruits Miles Morales and Spider-Ham to start recruiting other forces to build up the Spider Army. But before Peter can leave with Spider-Gwen and Anya to reach Spider-Man Noir, Solus and Morlun arrive in the safe zone. Despite Cosmic Spider-Man's immense power, he is no match for that of Solus, who kills him, while Morlun claims the Scion: Benjy Parker, the baby brother of Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker).
As these events transpire, Spider-Woman is revealed to have been infiltrating the headquarters of the Inheritors, where she has encountered the Master Weaver, who gives her scrolls that grant her the knowledge she needs on the Scion, the Bride, and the Other. But when Silk arrives and reveals that her dimension hopper has broken, she and Spider-Woman exchange hoppers, with Spider-Woman taking the broken one that is only capable of opening portals for objects, something she uses to send the scroll to Peter Parker. As she does this, Silk continues her dimension hopping, eventually reaching an irradiated dimension, which as she notices, holds back the Inheritor Twins who were following her. With this new safe zone in sight, Silk sends for the other members of the Spider Army, who arrive, and travel with her to a bunker, which is revealed to be where this dimension's Spider-Man, Uncle Ben, is.
Moving on, the Spider Army attempts to read the scrolls, only to see that they are illegible, meaning the only person who could have read them was Spider-Woman, who Silk feels responsible for abandoning. While Silk and Spider-Gwen go to Loomworld to rescue Spider-Woman, Anya is able to read the scroll, which states that the Scion, the Bride, and the Other are destined to lead the Spider Totems to overthrow the Inheritors after one thousand years. As this revelation occurs, Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Ultimate Jessica Drew confront Jennix, who reveals that he had been trying to clone the Spider Totems to give the Inheritors an infinite supply of food. This sends Kaine into a rage, leading to him destroying the facility, and unfortunately costing Ben Reilly's life. The Spider Army, now aware that the Other, the Bride, and the Scion will all be in Loomworld, arrives in Loomworld just in time to see Kaine's arrival in Loomworld, where he transforms into his Spider Totem form, killing Solus, but costing him his life.
With Kaine's blood in excessive supply, and Silk's also readily available, Morlun attempts to complete his ritual with a killing blow to Benjy Parker, only to be stopped by Peter Parker, who accuses Morlun of fearing Earth-616's Spider-Man, as he never once tried to capture him, and that he knew only this Peter Parker could defeat him. But before Morlun can respond, Peter Parker casts Morlun into a portal to the irradiated zone, allowing the Spider Totems enough time to overpower the other Inheritors. With their rule crumbling, the Inheritors are sent away to the irradiated world, where they shall remain for the rest of their lives.

The Devil Dinosaur : In a far off dimension, the dinosaurs never went extinct, and still roam the Earth to this very day. But even with their existence, hominids managed to evolve, reaching a tribal state by the time of the modern age. Now, these bands of cavemen dot the world, trying to survive in the shadows of the dinosaurs. One of these many tribes is the Small-Folk of the Valley of the Flame, a region of extreme volcanic activity, which the Small-Folk share with the Killer-Folk, their mortal enemies. Among these two warring tribes is the teenager Moon Boy. After escaping a deadly raid by the Killer-Folk, Moon Boy encounters the Killer-Folk sacrificing dinosaurs to a nearby volcano. As they murdered a mother dinosaur watching over her eggs, Moon Boy sprung into action and forced them away. Unfortunately, Moon Boy was unable to save the mother and two of her offspring, only finding a horribly burnt baby alive. Taking the baby into the forest, Moon Boy nursed the young dino to health, naming it Devil after its red skin it obtained from the fire it was burned in as a baby.
After two years of nursing Devil, the two bonded closely, and when Moon Boy returned to his tribe riding on Devil, he saw the entire village burnt to the ground, with every person murdered by the Killer-Folk. Thus, Devil and Moon Boy become wanderers, hoping to take revenge on the Killer-Folk for everything they have done. Meanwhile, the leader of the Killer-Folk, Stone-Head, is betrayed and murdered by his second-in command, Seven-Scars. This warmongering general, believed by the rest of the tribe to be worse than Stone-Head, knows of the existence of Moon Boy, who he wants dead more than anyone else. Thus, Seven-Scars places a bounty on the heads of Moon Boy and Devil, promising enough food to last a lifetime to whoever can kill the duo.
Forming his army of dino-riders and mercenaries, Seven-Scars tracks down Devil and Moon Boy, but is unable to capture or kill them before they escape. Heading down into a cave, Devil and Moon Boy find what appears to be a crack in the wall that leads to a different world. On the other side of the portal, massive metal structures jut out from the Earth, and people like Moon Boy populate these areas. Once inside the portal, Moon Boy and Devil are attacked by a strange half-man and half-spider creature wearing a black costume. Running back into the portal, Devil and Moon Boy barely escape back to their world before the portal closes, sealing off the spider-person menace on the other side.
Exiting the cave, Devil and Moon Boy are caught in a spiked trap by Seven-Scars. However, Devil, with his massive size and strength, is able to escape the trap, leaving Moon Boy behind. Given the option to abandon his friend and start over in life, Devil refuses, turning back to see Moon Boy being dragged to the volcano. Killing the guards, Devil frees Moon Boy, and the two rise to the top of the volcano, where Seven-Scars is seen sacrificing others to a giant spider creature that lurks in the lava. Riding on top of his own trained dinosaur, Seven-Scars challenges Moon Boy and Devil to a battle to the death, one which ends with Devil knocking Seven-Scars into the lava, where the spider creature devours him. Avenging their tribe and family, Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur return to the valley, hoping to start a new peaceful life.

Two celestials, Devron and Gamiel, are seen floating down to the volcano.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 9 : The Collector has foreseen the end of the universe, and he wants to ensure to obtain everything he can from this universe to bring to the next one. Thus, he goes after the one team that would oppose him: the Guardians of the Galaxy, now composed of Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Quasar, Moondragon, and Adam Warlock. Thus, while on mission fighting an uprising on an outer rim planet, the Collector captures them and takes them to his collection vault he has prepared for the end of the universe. Inside, the Guardians encounter new and old faces, all of whom are attempting to stage a breakout when the Collector brings the Guardians in.
Now imprisoned by the Collector, the Guardians expand their roster to join forces with the strongest of the prison to stage a new breakout. Joining the Guardians is Cosmo the Spacedog, Howard the Duck, Beta Ray Bill, Wal-Russ, Monark Starstalker, and Pip the Troll. Together with the Guardians, this band of misfits comes up with a plan to escape the Collector. Step one: Obtain Stormbreaker for Beta Ray Bill. If the Korbonite were to obtain his Asgardian given powers, the breakout would be much easier. However, this requires Cosmo, Rocket, and Howard to escape through the vents, defeat the Collector's robotic guards, and then gain access to the weapon vault before the Collector notices.
Fortunately, the plan goes off without a hitch, with Rocket releasing the shield around Beta Ray Bill's hammer, allowing him to call his hammer to him. With the hammer and everyone's signature weapons, the group escapes the prison, only to discover it is located within a pocket universe known as the Microverse. As the group attempts to fly away from the prison, they are stopped by a hero of the Microverse known as Bug. After fighting off Bug and his fellow Microverse warriors, the convicts explain their situation to Bug, who is sympathetic to their cause. Bug agrees to join the group in their escape, telling them he knows a point in space that allows them to escape the Microverse.
However, when they reach this area in space, the Collector is waiting for them. After fighting the Collector's forces, the group is able to escape the Microverse, which is revealed to be another artifact in the Collector's collection, with Bug and his people created only for entertainment. Without a real purpose in life, Bug agrees to join the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the team escapes the vault.

Loki Agent of Asgard : After years of imprisonment, the Trickster God Loki has had a change of heart, and intends to do good, becoming an Agent of Asgard. Assembling a team of villains who he believes could do some good (Sigurd, Lorelei, and the Executioner), Loki begins to take missions from the newly resurrected All-Mother. On a recent mission, Loki discovers an Inhuman on Midgard, Verity Wills, who can detect his lies, bringing the two closer together.
With Verity and his motley crew of villains, Loki heads to the far north and obtains Gram, the former sword of Sigurd. Returning to the All-Mother, Loki and his crew are informed that their next mission is to retrieve the Norn Stones, the very things that first killed Loki until he was revived by the Beyonder. Agreeing, Loki, Sigurd, Executioner, and Lorelei journey to the Dark World, where they encounter a colony of Dark Elves worshipping a Norn Stone. Manipulating them into seeing Loki as a deity, the group grabs the Norn Stone and travels to the realm of the Ice Giants. Once there, the group encounters Ymir, who is guarding the Norn Stone. Confused by Loki's arrival, Ymir questions Loki as to why he would take the same Norn Stone he had told Ymir to protect. However, before Loki can question this, some Fire Demons of Surtur kill Ymir, forcing Loki and his team to flee with the Norn Stone to the realm of the Dwarf King.
While there, the Dwarf King hands Loki a scepter that he was ordered to create by Loki. Explaining that he never ordered some sceper, the Dwarf King explains that Loki arrived under the name King Loki, asking for a scepter to be created for him to rule Asgard with. Realizing the situation, Loki and his team take the scepter and return to Asgard, where they are greeted by the All-Mother. However, instead of their normal banter, Loki shoots the All-Mother, who is revealed to be an illusion created by the true culprit: King Loki, the God of Mischief from the future where he used the Norn Stones to become king of Asgard. However, an incursion in realities pulled King Loki to this universe, where he began to hunt for the Norn Stones, storing the ones he found with Ymir.
Back in the throne room, King Loki gives the real Loki an ultimatum: Accept his rule or watch everything he loves die. As Loki tries to stab King Loki, the eldest Loki teleports away, taking the Rainbow Bridge to Midgar, where he tries to tell Verity that he is the real Loki. However, Verity knows he is lying, forcing him to just straight out capture her. Traveling to Midgard, Loki and his group meet with King Loki, using Loki's illusionary magic to surprise King Loki. With his final words to King Loki saying that he decides his own destiny, Loki kills King Loki, claiming the throne of Asgard.

Avengers Time Runs Out : The Avengers return, now fighting all around the Earth as incursions of other realities blink in and out of existence. These events have become so common that the Avengers have created two separate teams to deal with them: One team led by Steve Rogers (The Captain, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel), with the other led by Bucky Barnes (Captain America, She-Hulk, Wasp, Vision, Thor, and Black Panther). While Steve's team heads to Germany where an alternate reality MODOK has led an army of AIM soldiers, Bucky's team fights an army of Skrull Avengers in New York City.
When these two other realities pop out of existence, Namor The Sub-Mariner calls upon Iron Man and Black Panther. Meeting the Sub-Mariner in Atlantis, the two see that Namor has assembled the Illuminati. Namor then has Doctor Strange teleport the entire Illuminati to a world where the incursion is about to smash one reality into their own. Using a magic device said to bring about the death of the universe, Namor activates it and has Strange return them to Atlantis, killing the alternate reality, but destroying the planet as well.
He then tells the Illuminati that he has spent years researching the incursions, and that he has assembled a team of beings powerful enough to stop the Incursions: The Cabal. Calling them in, the Illuminati are shocked to see the team includes the Mad Titan, Thanos. Thanos then explains that he wishes to rule the universe, not destroy it, and that only through killing every other universe can he survive to rule it. Thanos then calls in the other members of the Cabal: Corvius Glade, Proxima Midnight, and Black Dwarf. With this group of villains, Namor claims that they will defend their universe and destroy all who oppose them.
Strange, opposed to allowing Namor to kill trillions of people, tries to explain that there could be another way to stop the incursions, only to be attacked by Black Dwarf, forcing Strange and the rest of the Illuminati to flee Atlantis. Back in New York, the Illuminati assemble the two teams of Avengers, as well as the West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye, War Machine, Wonder-Man, Shroud, Darkhawk, and Tigra), the Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Hellcat), the Midnight Sons (Ghost Rider, Blade, Moon Knight, Morbius, and Werewolf by Night), MI-13 (Captain Britain, Union Jack, Black Knight, Shang-Chi, Killpower, Hell's Angel, and Digitek) and miscellaneous other heroes (Spider-Man, the Great Lake Avengers, Ms. Marvel, Nova, Doctor Druid, etc).
With almost every superhero on Earth in one building, the Illuminati explain that Namor has betrayed the heroes to go and team up with Thanos and his crew to destroy other universes, as well as millions of civilians in their reality. Thus, the Illuminati declare that they plan to create five teams out of the existing teams to fight against the Cabal. Against Namor will be Team Stark (Iron Man, Captain America, She-Hulk, Nova, War Machine, Wasp, and Spider-Man), against Thanos will be Team Strange (Doctor Strange, Black Knight, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, Vision, Hercules, and Scarlet Witch), against Corvius Glade is Team Bolt (Black Bolt, Captain Marvel, Digitek, Doctor Druid, Ant-Man, Wonder-Man, and Shroud), against Black Dwarf is Team Fury (Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Union Jack, Moon Knight, The Captain, Arachne, and Falcon), and against Proxima Midnight is Team Panther (Black Panther, Thor, Tigra, Daredevil, Spider-Woman, Darkhawk, and Ms. Marvel). The rest of the heroes (Hellcat, Spectrum, X-51, the Great Lake Avengers, Killpower, Werewolf by Night, Shang-Chi, etc) are ordered to go around and fight any villains that appear around the world from the incursions. Hunting for the members of the Cabal, Team Stark locates Namor in Washington DC, Team Strange locates Thanos in Sokovia, Team Bolt locates Glade in Berlin, Team Fury locates Dwarf in Sydney, and Team Panther finds Proxima in Paris.
While the other teams attack their targets, Team Stark attacks Namor, trying to stop him from destroying Washington DC and the alternate reality. Namor then explains how all he wants to do is save this reality, and that even if the people of DC perish, the rest of the world will survive. Stark retorts back, saying how all Namor will do is destroy the planet and the other realities, something Thanos and his crew want. In rage, Namor attacks Team Stark, forcing them to retaliate.
Meanwhile, Team Strange attacks Thanos, who explains that if his universe is to survive, this Earth must be destroyed to prevent any further incursions. Thus, Thanos throws the device into the alternate reality, only for Strange to warp it into an empty dimension. Back in DC, however, the situation has grown even more dire, with Namor summoning the army of Atlantis to fight alongside him. However, as the army charges towards Team Stark, they are attacked by a different Iron Man, wearing a black and yellow suit. Then, suddenly, the army is attacked by other heroes: Miles Morales, a female Vision, and Quicksilver.
As Team Stark and the Ultimates fight Namor and his army, Loki appears in the sky, declaring that he intends to save each and every universe through ruling them. But before Loki does anything, Star Brand appears to Tony Stark, grabbing him and pulling him into a starship, and bringing him, Black Panther, and the Captain into orbit. Now in space, the survivors watch as the many universes collide into one another, with multiple earths crashing into each other. Everything then goes white.

The USS Vengeance
'I watched you open fire in a room full of unarmed Starfleet officers,' Kirk looked at Khan, shaken by Cora's words, but still not sure what that had to do with what Khan had done, why he had attacked, why he'd destroyed the archives just to get them all in one room. Ok, Marcus might be an enemy as well, but so was Khan, 'You killed them in cold blood.'
'Marcus took my crew from me!' Khan shouted, turning around, not seeing Cora flinch at his words and tone, at the emotion she could feel rolling off him.
He actually was..upset, about that, desperate to have his crew back. It made her pause, trying to sense if there was something else, if this was a way to manipulate the situation to his advantage. She was sure it would be coming, but..for that single moment, Khan was being honest.
'You're a murderer !'
'He used my friends to control me,' Khan began, his voice growing quiet, distanttroubled, 'I tried to smuggle them to safety by concealing in them in the very weapons I had designed. But I was discovered, I had no choice but to escape alone. And when I did, I had every reason to suspect that Marcus had killed every single one of the people I hold most dear.'
Cora flinched, closing her eyes at that as a tear fell from her eyes at the same time it fell from Khan's, having felt all that Khan felt as he spoke, the pain, the fear, thelovehe held for his crew. It left her shaking, to feel the pain he endured, the guilt he bore to have had to leave them like he had. She let out a breath, bowing her head, her face scrunching as she felt him speak, he was being honest, more open and honest than he had likely ever been. She took a breath, shaking her head as she looked back up at Khan, tears swimming in her eyes, not seeing Spock had put his own attention on her the moment she'd bowed her head, the moment she'd cried for Khan, instead of watching Khan.
'So,I responded in kind,' Khan finished. He turned around to face them, his gaze falling onto Cora, seeing her affected by his words, before he looked at Kirk, 'My crew..is my family, Kirk. Is there anything you would not do for your family?'
'Cora?' Kirk asked, glancing at her.
'I believe her reaction is testament to my story,' Khan remarked.
Cora took a breath and looked at Kirk, 'He is being truthful,' she told him, shaken from what she'd felt now.
She had been correct to assume the manipulation would come, and come it had. Because beyond the pain and guilt she felt rolling off him for what he had done and what had been done to his people, she also felt anger and drive andill intent. Whatever reason he was telling them this, for whatever reason he was being so honest..it was not for what others might think. Butthis was delicate, this was something that had to be handled with care. Khan wasmanipulative, he was trying to use her against the crew, she could sense it even now. He was trying to stir empathy in her, make her feel sorry for him, make her feel pitying for his plight, so that she might convince the crew to listen to him.
Yes, he DID feel all that as he spoke, he felt it for his crew. But SHE could feel beyond what he felt in the past to what he felt now. And there was something SHE needed to deal with Khan first before she could speak to Kirk about it.
'Proximity alert, sir,' a man called over Kirk's comm. before another word could be spoken, 'There's a ship at warp heading right for us.'
'Klingons?' Kirk looked down at the communicator.
'At warp?' Khan scoffed, 'No, Kirk. We both know who it is.'
'I don't think so,' the man agreed, 'It's not coming at us from Kronos.'
Kirk took a breath and turned to leave, Spock following, 'Lieutenant, move Khan to med-bay, post six security officers on him.'
'Yes, Captain,' the man he'd passed rushed to do just that.
'Cora?' Kirk turned to see the was still girl standing before Khan, not moving, 'You coming?'
Cora didn't even look back, her eyes locked on Khan, as she called, 'Permission to have a word with the prisoner before he is moved, Captain Kirk?'
Kirk stiffened, not liking that, butCora rarely EVER asked for things without a reason. And right now, with the ship approaching he didn't have time to refuse or question or even stay there with her and keep an eye on her, 'Granted,' he called, turning to Spock, 'Stay with her,' he ordered, before heading out.
Spock stood there, at the door, giving Cora space, but being close enough where he could hear what was being said, where he could watch Khan. It was..good, that he was there and not beside her. He hadn't been able to look away from her till Kirk's comm. had gone off, which was not good, it was not something he wanted Khan to see, his focus on her. From the door, he'd be far enough away where looking at her could be mistaken for looking at Khan as well. And the distance..was good, he had to be away from her, she was too close before. Seeing her upset, seeing her cry..it had twisted his gut most painfully, made him want to reach out to her, but he knew, after that moment he'd imagined in the shuttle, that touching her was the worst thing he could do.
If he touched her now..he wouldn't be able to let go.
If he touched her now..she'd sense EXACTLY how he felt, and he couldn't let that happen.
Cora stared at Khan a long while, 'You give away more than you mean to,' she remarked.
'I did not lie,' Khan defended.
'No,' she agreed, 'But in giving away what you have, I have seen more than you intended to reveal,' she told him, 'You paint a picture of being a victim, butI see you for what you are,' she tilted her head, studying him, 'I do not trust you Khan.'
Khan smirked at her, confident, 'But your captain will.'
'No,' she shook her head, 'You underestimate me again. My crewis my family as well. And I will protect them from you no matter the cost. In not trusting you, THEY will not trust you either, any of them.'
'You would influence a whole crew against me?' his eyes narrowed.
'No,' she argued, 'I do not need to influence them like that. I merely need to make them aware of my distrust. They trust me, more than they will ever trust you. I can tell when people lie to me Khan, I can tell when they have ill intent, when they are not giving the whole truth, when the have another motive,' she eyed him, 'I sense that in you. What you say and what you plan are two very different things. You hope to garner sympathy, you attempt to manipulate me, but you will fail, you have failed.'
Khan's eyes narrowed at her, at her implication that he hadn't succeeded, him, the best soldier out there, he should have been able to manipulate the Empathic, but it appeared he truly had failed, 'And you Empathics overestimate yourselves,' he tilted his own head, 'You claim expertise over emotions, you claim strength, you claim trust, and yet you cannot even go against the will of your masters. Tell me, if the Mas'heir that owned you before you were 'freed' into Starfleet ordered you to kill Kirk, would you do it?' he started to smirk, seeing her frown, 'I think you rather would. You have been conditioned your entire life to serve, to obey, to follow the orders of your master. That will never go away,' he eyed her, stepping closer, not seeing Spock start to move across the room at what he was saying, at how it was making Cora look down, reminding him too much of when Uhura had spoken to her in the Academy, reminding her of her place, 'You speak of freedom, yet you are still nothing but a slave . You follow the orders of a captain instead of a master, you obey the rules of Starfleet instead of the will of the Mas'heirs, you do as commanded and liken yourself to a freed woman yet you have merely exchanged one chain for another. Even your Vulcan controls you'
'Enough,' Spock cut in, appearing at Cora's side, stepping in front of her to block her vision of Khan. He knew the man was trying to manipulate Cora, he knew, logically, that it would not work, Uhura had tried the same and HE had been able to help her through it, he had spent years making sure she would never see herself as a slave again, but Khan was bringing up everything she had always had a fear of.
'Ooh,' Khan let out a laugh, 'That sounded angry , Spock,' he eyed the man, 'That was not the way the Vulcans would have you react to bait.'
'You threaten my mate,' Spock cut in, breathing heavily, feeling anger coursing through him, an anger that he couldn't hide from Cora as he heard her gasp behind him, feeling it clearly, feeling his desire to protect her, to get her away, to stop Khan talking, to..comfort her in a rather large way when he had gotten her alone, 'Any Vulcan would react the same.'
'No' Khan shook his head, seeming as though he were tsking him again, 'This is quite the human reaction,' he observed, 'Oh that is wonderful,' he laughed as Spock tensed even more, 'Half human, half Vulcan. It's no wonder you took an Empathic for your mate.'
'Who I took as my mate and why is no business of yours,' he turned, feeling the desire to let Khan out of the cell merely so he could stop the man talking racing through him, 'Cora,' he turned to lead her out, his body stiff.
'That's it,' Khan shouted, 'Command your little slave. She'll do your bidding won't she?'
Spock stopped, ready to turn and confront the man once more, when Cora took his hand and pulled him out of the room.
'Do not do that!' Spock yanked his hand away from her, feeling her trying to calm him down..
But his heart was racing too fast, his blood pumping, his body heaving with the strain of holding back. Cora was trying to soothe his anger and he did not want that. The more he tried to repress it, the stronger it came back. And if she touched him..he was going to lose complete control of himself. He could feel it, even then, the desire to grab her and just..kiss her, hold her close, not let her go, bring her closer and closer..
He closed his eyes, shaking his head fiercely, if she touched him..he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He didn't want this to be the way it happened, with him angry, with his anger driving him to do it. Cora had..changed him. He knew, had she been an ordinary human, his mind wouldn't care, he'd see it as his Vulcan drive to be with his human mate, and he'd allow it to take hold of him. But Cora was an Empathic, emotion and physical touch were FAR more important to her than a human. This, what he felt himself losing control of not doing, was something sacred to her people..he could NOT let it be tainted by the Pon Farr.
But she couldn't touch him.
He'd lose complete control if she did.
'But Spock' she began, holding up her hands in surrender.
She didn't know what else to do. He was angry, SO angry, more angry than she'd felt him over even the loss of his planet and she didn't know why. Khan's words had been harsh, yes, full of malice and manipulations but she felt..oddly enough..ok about it. It hadn't affected her like she knew it would have, and had, in the past. She knew Khan was trying to manipulate her and she knew his words were just that, words said to try and get to her. It didn't mean she listened , it didn't mean she believed them.
She knew she was not exactly a slave to Stafleet, Spock had ensured she stopped thinking of it that way ages ago. She knew she was not controlled by Spock but wasquite the opposite. She had found that she had a more profound affect on him and the way he lived his life than he did on her. Empathics were naturally feeling, they were emotional and based their actions on feeling. She had grown stronger for knowing Spock and she was always trying to please him and make him proud, that had not changed, that would never change, that was the way her people were. But Spockhe had also started to change, in small ways, being more open around her, touching her just a little more, kissing her more than just touching fingers. HE was the one willing to 'break' rules if it meant protecting her and doing what he could to see her safe and happy. Her happiness meant more to him than his life.
She didn't understand why he was so angry over what Khan had said, hardly any of it was actually hurtful. She knew Spock had gotten over his half-human conundrum and accepted that side of him, he knew how the mating between them worked better than her, there was no logical reason for him to be so angry and upset.
And he knew it too.
All the words Khan had said were more directed at Cora, which meant, logically, she should be upset not him, the words at him were hardly offensive, hardly should have incited such an anger in him. Buthe found it was hard to maintain rational thought at the moment. All he saw was Cora standing before another man, the man being harsh to her, speaking vile words that probably weren't all that vile considering what Cora had encountered all her life, and he justhe saw her upset even in the minutest amount and went after the man.
He was angry that Khan would try to bait his mate, manipulate her, use her to get to all of them, accuse her of things she would never do. It wasnot like him to get this angry over just mere spoken words.
And now he was getting even more angry at Cora for trying to calm him down. It wasit was the Pon Farr he knew. The battle with the Kilngons, it had excited him, excited the 'bloodlust' and fever that came with the anger the Pon Farr could induce. It wasn't anger per say, it was more a heightened passion. That passion could go towards anger and battle orbe reserved for his mate. He had already refused to force that on Cora, had hoped that he would be able to control the urges and the heightened emotions.
He had been doing well, in his mind at least, till the Klingons attacked.
Being in the middle of that battle, attacking the enemy, fighting, defending his mateit had incited all the emotion that the Pon Farr already heightened, it made it almost unbearable to deal with returning to the Enterprise with no release for his anger and aggression. It made him moreaware of Cora, with the battle behind him and the urges of Pon Farr even worse, he was having difficulty being away from her like he had tried to do before the Klingons, tried to keep distant, but nowhe couldn't be apart from her, he couldn't make himself send her away from him and he was just getting angrier about it.
Hewanted Cora, badly, but he refused to let the Pon Farr be the reason for them being united in that way. And with all the emotions building up, every little thing set him off. It was like he was full of flames that were eating him from the inside and it was getting worse. The Klingon battle had made it all the worse to endure.
'Do not try to calm me Cora,' he said, his voice shaking as he tried to control hisnot anger.
No, now it wasshifting, as it always did when it was him and Cora alone, it washe WANTED her to touch him, but he knew if she did, whether to try and show support or try to help his emotions it would send him over the edge. He couldn'the couldn't be near her right now. Seeing Khan attacking her verbally, feeling the need to defend her and protect her and be there for herit was making him think of her, it was making him long for her and focus on her and he couldn't . Not now, the worst time to feel such things and it just kept building.
From the way her hair glowed in the lights of the hall, standing out against the stark whiteness, her pale skin so soft, her eyes glowing in their teal color, brought out by the uniform she wore. She was covered, long sleeved, black leggings, black boots, barely only her hands and neck and face visible but the uniform hardly hid her figure and he forced his eyes to stop trailing down her body as they had been.
Hehe had to get away from her.
He turned and stalked towards the turbolift, Cora running after him, 'Spock wait!' she called, 'Please, whatever it was that I did, I offer my apologies..' she reached out to try to take his arm once more.
But he pulled it away as though he'd been burned, and he had, in the mostpleasant way he'd ever experienced, but he couldn't do it, he would NOT let the Pon Farr win, 'Leave me alone!' he snapped at her, hitting the button to the lift, forcing himself to look away as she stepped back, startled and hurt at his shout.
He had never shouted at her like that before.
He felt terrible buthe couldn't do that to her. The lift doors closed and started to move, taking him away from her andit hurt . It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, it hurt to even think..it felt like his entire body was on pins and needles as the humans would say, tingling but not in a good way, making his limbs feel heavier and heavier the further away he got from Cora. He let out a breath, falling back against the back of the turbolift, panting, pressing a shaking hand to his face as he closed his eyes, not even noticing how his hand was still shaking, how could he when the rest of him was shaking too from the effort it had taken to step away from Cora. He shook his head, trying in vain to get control of himself. But it was hard when the only thing he wanted to do was just
He swallowed hard, shaking his head even more fiercely. He turned, looking to the side before he jabbed a hand out, punching the wall of the lift once, twice, four times, needing something , some small way to vent his frustrations.
He justdidn't know what to do and he was running out of options and time.
Spock stepped out of the turbolift, his hands clasped behind him, his body more tense than it had ever been, just as Kirk stepped onto the Bridge, 'Captain on the bridge,' Sulu announced.
'ETA on the incoming ship?' Kirk demanded, moving to the chair.
'Three seconds, sir.'
'Shields.'
'Aye, Captain,' Sulu nodded just as a large ship, at least three times as large as the Enterprise, appeared before them.
Uhura glanced over at her controls when a signal went off, from having been watching Spock as the man turned and took a seat at his post, just as the doors opened and Cora entered, the girl seeming almost near tears as she glanced at Spock, who kept his back to her, before getting back to her job, 'They're hailing us, sir,' she reported.
'On screen,' Kirk ordered, 'Broadcast shipwide for the record.'
They waited and, a moment later, Admiral Marcus appeared on the viewscreen, 'Captain Kirk.'
'Admiral Marcus,' he greeted, 'I wasn't excepting you. That's a hell of a ship you got there.'
'And I wasn't expecting to get word that you'd taken Harrison into custody, in violation of your orders.'
'Well, we had to improvise when our warp core unexpectedly malfunctioned,' he eyed Marcus a moment, 'But you already know that, sir.'
'I don't take your meaning,' Marcus stiffened.
'That's why you're here isn't? To assist with our repairs. Why else would a head of Starfleet personally come to the edge of the Neutral Zone? And before you answer, Admiral,' he cut in, seeing the man starting to speak, 'You would do well to remember WE are the ship with the Empathic,' he gestured back at Coraonly to frown, seeing how upset she looked. He glanced between her and Spock a moment before shaking his head, he'd deal with that later, 'Cora?'
Cora blinked and looked at him before taking a breath and stepping up beside the chair, focusing on her duty to her crew, needing and welcoming the distraction for the moment. It was not..healthy for an Empathic to bury their emotions or to try and repress them, it tended to make them physically ill when it happened. She should be fine though, she wasn't forcing them down or trying to push them away just..not thinking of them at the moment. She WOULD deal with them later, with them and Spock and his actions, but for now..the Enterprise needed her abilities.
'He is well aware our warp core malfunctioned,' she agreed, the stiffening before was indicative of that.
'Captain, they're scanning our ship,' Sulu reported.
'Is there something I can help you find, sir?' Kirk turned his sight back on the Admiral.
'Where is your prisoner Kirk?' the man demanded.
'Per Starfleet regulation, I'm planning on returning Khan to Earth to stand trial.'
'Well, shit,' the man sighed, hearing Kirk call him 'Khan' instead of Harrison, 'You talked to him. Exactly what I was hoping to spare you from.'
'But not for the reason you would have us believe,' Cora cut in, 'You wish us not to know what your plans were sir.'
'Damn it,' he muttered, 'He even got to YOU too? Aren't you Empathics supposed to be foolproof?'
Cora frowned, the entire crew falling silent at that sort of..slight against her, 'I assure you, sir,' she spoke, a slight edge in her voice, 'My abilities are operating at maximum efficiency, there is not a single person in the Universe that can fool an Empathic. To quote Captain Kirk, you would do well to remember thatas it applies to you as well sir. YOU cannot fool me any more than Khan can. So I would suggest you do not try.'
Uhura and Kirk smirked at that, they had been working tirelessly to build up Cora's 'backbone.' Spock had done a hell of a job building up her confidence in herself and her sense of self-worth in the Academy, butthey wanted to make sure she'd be able to 'stick up for herself' when others came around. They wanted her to be able to fight back, to talk back, to argue even more than Spock had managed to get her to do. They wanted her to be as strong as she could be, becausethey had no doubt, one day, she really would try to ask the Fleet for another attempt to free Hestia, and she would need all the confidence, strength, and argument in the world. To see her, their quiet Empathic, standing there, talking back to one of the heads of the Fleet witha little bit of sasswas worth it.
Their little girl was growing up so fast!
The rest of the crew merely eyed Marcus as the man frowned, all of them now aware that HE had been trying to manipulate the situation and make it appear as though THEY were being manipulated. Kirk, however, and Cora and Spock, knew that both sides were trying to do that, manipulate them, yet they were all three prepared to not believe either side.
Cora may have sensed that Khan was telling the truth at times, but that didn't mean the truth didn't have an ulterior motive behind it. Finding out she was an Empathic meant Khan HAD to tell the truth, otherwise there wouldn't have been a snowball's chance in hell that they'd believe a word he'd say. They knew the man was just hoping that, in doing so, she wouldn't look further into his emotions, but she did. The crew really was her family and she would protect them from any danger she could.
'The truth would be appreciated, Admiral,' Kirk added.
Marcus sighed, 'I took tactical a risk when I woke that bastard up. Believing that a superior intelligence could help us protect ourself from whatever came after us next. But I made a mistake . And now the blood of everybody he's killed is on my hands. So I'm asking you..give him to me, so I can end what I started.'
Kirk smirked, not even needing to ask to know the man was lying, 'Cora, why don't you give him an example of how 'efficient' your abilities really are.'
Cora nodded, 'It was not a tactical risk, you were well aware who Khan was when you opened him,' Cora countered the man's words, able to determine that from his expressions, from the tone of his voice, 'You did so because you knew of his superior intelligence. What you are asking is not to protect the Universe. You want him so that he cannot tell others what you did and what you were planning to do.'
She frowned, she was starting to feel thathe would not want THEM to be able to tell what he had done either.
'Thank you Cor,' Kirk winked at her, smirking when he saw Spock glare at him, served the pointy-eared bastard right, he could tell that when Cora was upset for no apparent reason it was because of Spock, especially when it was Spock who ignored her being upset, normally the man would be the first one to try and comfort her, 'What exactly would you like me to do with the rest of his crew, sir?' he continued, 'Fire at them? At the Klingons and end 72 lives? Start a war in process?'
'He put those people in those torpedoes!' Marcus argued, but they knew it really had been to smuggle them out, for whatever reason or purpose, whether because it was Khan's 'family' or his army, they didn't really care, the point was, they knew WHY the bodies were in the torpedoes, 'I simply didn't want to burden you with knowing what was inside of them.'
'You seem to forget our Empathic once more, sir,' Kirk cut in, 'You should have realized putting her beside a living thing would clue her in to something living being inside them.'
'You saw what this man can do all by himself,' Marcus continued, 'Can you imagine what would happen if we woke up the rest of his crew?! What else did he tell you? That he's a peace-keeper? He's playing you, son. Don't you see that?'
'Yes sir, actually we did see that,' Kirk rolled his eyes, 'Again, Empathic,' he gestured at Cora, 'She was assigned to this ship for a reason sir, it would be..illogical of us not to utilize her when events such as these arise. We had Cora sit in on the discussions and, as we have warned you already sir, she is well aware of any lies Khan may have told us. Which are, surprisingly, few.'
'His intent is ill,' Cora added, 'But what he told us IS the truth sir.'
'Look,' Marcus sighed, 'Khan and his crew were condemned to death as war criminals. And now it is our duty to carry out that sentence. Before anybody else dies because of him. I'm going to ask you again. One last time, son. Lower your shields. Tell me where he is.'
'That does not sound like asking,' Cora remarked, but Kirk held up his hand.
He was silent a moment, 'He's in Engineering, sir,' he answered, 'But I'll have him moved to the Transporter room right away.'
Cora frowned at the lie, as did Spock.
'I'll take it from here,' Marcus cut the transmission.
'Do not drop those shields, Mr. Sulu,' Kirk ordered, getting up.
'Aye Captain,' Sulu nodded.
'Captain,' Spock stepped over, though he stopped a few feet away from Cora, 'Given your awareness of Khan's true location in the med-bay, may I know the details of your plan?'
'I told Marcus we're bringing a fugitive back to Earth, that's what we're going to do,' was all Kirk said, 'Mr. Chekov, can we warp?' he called into the comm. Star Conflict: Fleet Strength - Loki Cracked
'Sir, if we go to warp, we run ze risk of seriously damaging ze core,' Chekov replied.
'Can we do it?'
'Technically yes, but I would not adwise it, Captain.'
'Noted. Mr. Sulu,' he looked over, sitting down, 'Set course for Earth.'
'Yes, sir,' Sulu put in the commands.
'Punch it,' Kirk ordered, and the ship flew into warp, trying to escape the USS Vengeance that Marcus was on, 'Lieutenant Uhura, contact Starfleet, tell them we were pursued into the Neutral Zone by an unmarked Federation ship.'
'Comms. are down, sir,' Uhura reported.
'Permission to come on the Bridge!' Wallace shouted as she ran over to the doors.
'Dr. Marcus,' Kirk stood, glancing over at Cora as she moved to stand by Uhura instead of Spock, yet another indication that something was wrong.
'He's going to catch up to us and when he does the only thing that is going stop him destroying this ship is me,' Wallace told him immediately, rushing up to him, 'So you have to let me talk to him.'
'Carol, we're at warp . He can't catch up with us.'
'Yes he can,' she insisted, 'He's been developing a ship that has volatile warp capabilities and'
'Captain,' Sulu cut in, 'I'm getting a reading I don't understand'
The ship suddenly jolted, sending them all flying to the ground as it was attacked mid-warp, all of them watching, stunned, as Marcus and his ship caught up to them, mid-warp , and fired, till they literally fell out of the warp, into space.
'Where are we?' Kirk called as they straightened themselves.
'237,000 kilometers from Earth,' Sulu reported.
'Damage report!' Kirk shouted, seeing Cora fall to her knees, and grab her stomach, closing her eyes, turnign a bit green as she seemed about to be sick..and he knew when she opened her eyes to reveal tears in them..that some of the crew had just died.
'Weapons are not working,' one of the women called, 'We're defenseless.'
'Sir we have a bulkhead breach,' another added.
'Where's the damage?' he asked.
'Major hull damage, Captain,' a man replied.
The ship shook as it was fired on again, Cora wincing as Uhura fell beside her, putting an arm around her as she felt the others all throughout the ship injured and others dying.
'Evasive maneuvers, get us to the Earth, right now!' Kirk ordered.
'Captain, stop,' Wallace grabbed his arm, 'Everybody on this ship is going to die, if you don't let me speak to him!'
Kirk looked at her.
'She isspeaking the truth,' Cora whispered, 'He will not listen to us .'
Kirk sighed, 'Uhura, hail them.'
Uhura nodded and pressed the controls, nodding to Wallace to speak, 'Sir, it's me, it's Carol!' Star Conflict: Fleet Strength - Loki Crack Patch
A moment later the viewscreen flickered on and Marcus was there, staring at her in shock, 'What are you doing on that ship?!'
'I heard what you said,' Wallace continued instead, 'That you made a mistake and now you're doing everything you can to fix it. But, dad..' her voice broke, 'I don't believe that the man who raised me is capable of destroying a ship full of innocent of people. And' she blinked, feeling tears in her eyes as she swallowed hard, Cora closing her eyes as she felt tears prickling her as well at the crack in Wallace's voice, 'If I'm wrong about that, then you're going to have to do it with me onboard.'
But Marcus just smirked, 'Actually Carol, I won't. You or the Empathic.'
Cora's eyes flew open at that, staring at the man in alarm.
'She's too valuable to the Fleet and you're my daughter,' Marcus said and, before their eyes, transport lights began to surround Cora and Wallace.
'Jim' Wallace looked at him, alarmed.
'Can we intercept the transport signal?' Kirk looked at them.
'No, sir!' a man reported.
'Cora!' Spock shouted, rushing to herbut he was too latethe transport kicked in..
She and Wallace were gone.
A/N: Poor Spock, he yells at her and then loses her :( But you know what they say..distance makes the heart grow fonder ;) ;)
I can say we saw a bit here with her speaking to Khan but..we'll soon see how not-defenseless Cora really is ;)
Some notes on reviews..
Oh they'll find out..very, VERY soon what's up with Spock ;) And the reactions will be, interesting :)
Definitely a bit of conflict between Cora and Khan, even more here :) I don't think he likes that she can see through him :)
Lol, I like the 'bad guys' too, -cough-Loki-cough- -
Oh quite a few things will come to light, definitely, especially something interesting about Cora as well ;)

Spider-Verse Part 1 : Spider-Man always believed himself to be the only person bit by a radioactive spider, but when his Spidey-sense detects another, he jumps at the opportunity. Deep in a building in the middle of New York lays the only other person bit by that radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his powers: Cindy Moon, or as she calls herself, Silk. Pheromones flaring, Spider-Man and Silk escape the building, but after an intimate interaction, Silk is terrified to realize she left her home. Years ago, she chose to remain imprisoned there, with her captor saying that there was a family of hunters who would one day come for the Spider Totems of this dimension. Spidey, thinking it was merely a way to keep her in the house, reassures her safety, and Silk moves in with Peter. But as if by fate, a third Spider Totem appears to Spidey and Silk: Kaine, the Scarlet Spider. Created years ago when Norman Osborne attempted to clone Spider-Man, Kaine escaped the facility by faking his death. Recently, Kaine encountered a man who told him to seek out Peter Parker, to help him survive when the Inheritors arrived. As if on cue, Daemos, one of the main inheritors, arrives, proclaiming the beginning of the final hunt for Spider Totems, with Spider-Man of Earth-616 being the first victim. But before Daemos can attack, he is attacked by members of the Spider-Army: Spider-Woman, Spider-UK, Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker), Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Gwen, and Bruce Banner Spider-Man. The Spider-Army then warns Peter, Cindy, and Kaine that Daemos is a member of the Inheritors, who are on a mission to kill every Spider Totem in every dimension.
With little time remaining, Spider-Man 2099 opens a portal and pulls Peter, Kaine, and Cindy in with the rest of the rescue team. Once inside the portal, Peter is shocked to see hundreds of different Spider-Men and Spider-Women all sitting around. Confused, Peter asks why this dimension is safer than the others, which is answered by Cosmic Spider-Man, who explains to Peter that this dimension is protected by his powers, and that there is a war coming.
Meanwhile, Miles Morales and Ultimate Jessica Drew are attacked by Verna, but saved at the last second by other Spiders. When Miles and Ultimate Jessica Drew arrive in the safe zone, they see Peter Parker, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Woman, Scarlet Spider, and Silk leave through a portal, which is soon revealed to be to the secret base of Superior Spider-Man, Otto Octavius, who explains to Peter Parker that Silk and Kaine are the Bride and the Other, but before he can expand upon what he means, the group is attacked by Daemos, who Superior Spider-Man is able to kill. But soon after his death, a second Daemos enters the dimension, making Kaine and Ben Reilly, another clone of Spider-Man from a different universe, realize the Inheritors are cloning themselves, and that they have to be made somewhere.
Meanwhile, as Peter Parker prepares to leave through a portal, a dying Spider-Man tells Peter to protect the Bride, the Scion, and the Other no matter what. As he tells Peter this, Silk steals Peter's portal opener, hoping to draw the Inheritors away from the rest, only to be followed by Spider-Woman and Spider-Man Noir. In this new dimension, Spider-Man Noir is injured, leading to Silk and Spider-Woman bringing Spider-Man Noir back to his reality. However, while there, they encounter Peter Parker, Spider-Gwen, and Spider-Girl (Anya). The three eventually trade out with Spider-Woman, taking over as the bodyguards for Silk, which they immediately fail at, as Silk escapes. With Silk now on the run and the Spiders hoping dimensions, it would seem that all is coming into place for the Inheritors.
After credits scene:
Ultimate Jessica Drew, Kaine, and Ben Reilly are shown exiting a portal into a technological paradise. As the three walk, they are stopped by robotic guards.
Guard: 'What are you doing outside of your group?!'
Unknown: 'I'll deal with them, boys'
Iron Man then appears from nowhere, and flies straight towards the three Spiders.

Captain America and the Invaders : Steve Rogers, now only a teacher as Bucky Barnes leads the Avengers under the Captain America name, was simply giving his students a lesson on Hydra when he was hit by a crack in reality. Suddenly; the leap forward of 70+ years Steve had adjusted to disappears around him, and Steve finds himself returned to the 1940's. Once there, Steve is also surprised to find himself in the Captain America suit once more. After talking with a nearby military officer, Steve learns that in this reality, he never disappeared into the ice and has continued to lead the Allies in WWII against the forces of Hydra and the Axis Powers. However, as Steve never took that cold plunge into the ice, Red Skull never died, instead using the cosmic cube to teleport back to Germany, where he assassinated Hitler and took complete control of the Nazi War Machine, albeit under the Hydra name.
With his arch-enemy alive and his best friend now the one on ice, Steve agrees to retake the mantle of Captain America and lead the Allies to victory. But to his surprise, he isn't alone, as he is joined by a small team of superheroes recruited by the United States: Namor the Sub-Mariner and Jim Hammond, the Living Android. Together, the three heroes form a group known as the Invaders, named after their historic invasion of the Fascist-Controlled Italian Peninsula. Thus, Cap, Jim, and Namor head to northern Italy, where the Allies are planning to push into Hydra-controlled Germany. The plan: Have the Invaders make the initial charge, taking out all anti-aircraft or anti-tank guns, allowing the Allies' tanks and planes to roll in behind them. Once in Germany, the Invaders are to locate a castle where Red Skull has supposedly set up shop, and assassinate him.
Though the first part of the plan is executed perfectly, getting into the castle proves less than easy, as the Invaders are attacked by what appear to be Frost Giants. Confused, the team continues deeper into the fortress, where they find not only Red Skull, but also a portal that the Red Skull is using to pull monsters from the Nine Realms and bring to Midgard, using them as part of his war machine. With Direwolves and Fire Demons, Red Skull battles the Invaders, but is unable to stop them from advancing and setting the portal to self-destruct. In retaliation, Red Skull attempts to jump through the portal, but the time distortions this causes sends a ripple throughout the world, bringing Captain America back to his timeline. Returned to the modern day with the shield and costume of another world, Steve Rogers decides to return to his superhero days as the Captain.
After credits scene:
The Captain is shown walking up to the New Avengers facility, when he is approached by the current Captain America, Bucky Barnes.
Bucky: 'Steve? What's with the get-up? Tired of teaching at the school? Ready to get back to the world of heroes and villains?'
Steve: 'Bucky, we have a lot to talk about.'

Squadron Supreme The Master's Plan : Since their defeat of President Rockefeller, much has changed for the Squadron Supreme: Nighthawk was elected as President, Power Princess as Secretary of State, Hyperion as Vice President, Doctor Spectrum as Secretary of Defense, and Speed Demon, Amphibian, and Skymax as the leading generals of the military. Just as everything seems to be going right, the Squadron Supreme are pulled out of their dimension by a being known as the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster then explains that he was the one who helped Rockefeller gain power as a way to test the Squadron Supreme of their might. When they defeated Rockefeller, Grandmaster knew they were the right choice to be his avatars for his contest against the time-traveling Scarlet Centurion. With no choice, the Squadron Supreme accept their roles, traveling to a dimension where the Scarlet Centurion has prepared his own team: The Institute of Evil, composed of Ape-X, Doctor Decibel, Foxfire, Lamprey, Quagmire, Shape, and Minx.
As both teams are now available, Grandmaster and Scarlet Centurion bring the teams to a dimension where Ultron wiped the Earth clean, and begin the competition. Almost immediately, the Institute of Evil splits up while the Squadron Supreme decides to stay together and journey across the world. However, after multiple ambushes by Ultron's robots, the Squadron decides that being in such a large party is more of a disadvantage than an advantage, and they split up into teams of two, with Hyperion heading his own way. Going in opposite directions, Hyperion eventually chances upon a volcano, where he encounters Foxfire, who attempts to disintegrate the invincible man, only to be defeated by Hyperion, who is then told to kill her by the Grandmaster. However, Hyperion refuses, requiring Scarlet Centurion to intervene and use an implanted chip within Foxfire to kill her. Angered at their lack of care for life, Hyperion enters the volcano, preventing the two masters of the world from following him, so that he may plan a way out of this situation without having anyone else die.
Meanwhile, Doctor Spectrum and Speed Demon have encountered Quagmire and Lamprey. Lamprey, using his energy absorption powers, attempts to absorb all of Doctor Spectrum's powers, but is overloaded with energy and explodes. With Lamprey dead, Doctor Spectrum has just enough power remaining to save Speed Demon from the explosion, which kills Quagmire. The scene then changes to Nighthawk and Power Princess, who have reached a metallic stream and are waiting for an ambush, which occurs when Minx and Ape-X arrive. During the conflict, Ape-X is thrown into the stream, which is revealed to be Nanobots that kill Ape-X. Following this, Nighthawk is able to convince Minx to instead join their team and oppose the Scarlet Centurion, something she almost accepts before the Scarlet Centurion declares foul play and orders Grandmaster to kill Nighthawk. Refusing, the Grandmaster proposes a 1v1 stadium fight between the two, which Scarlet Centurion agrees to. Nighthawk and Minx are then teleported to a stadium in the sky, where they are forced to fight to the death. Minx, reluctant to die, fights Nighthawk, who refuses to kill her, resulting in his death. As this occurs, Amphibian and Skymax are fighting Shape and Doctor Decibel, a fight they are losing, as Decibel's sound weapon has completely crippled Amphibian. Shape, however, is unable to fight off Skymax, who snaps his neck. Skymax then sneaks up on Decibel, disguised as Shape, and kills Decibel, who ups his weapon's power as he dies, killing Amphibian.
With only Minx remaining, Scarlet Centurion calls for Grandmaster's strongest to fight Minx, resulting in Minx being brought to the stadium to fight Hyperion. However, Hyperion is unwilling to fight and unable to be hurt, bringing the dual to a standstill. Grandmaster tries to fix this by freeing Hyperion from the obsidian, but it becomes clear that Hyperion has no intention to fight. Because Minx could never defeat Hyperion, Scarlet Centurion himself enters the stadium to kill Hyperion. But as he enters the playing field, he renders himself vulnerable, something Hyperion counted on. Now vulnerable, Hyperion defeats Scarlet Centurion, resulting in all who died being revived and sent home.
After credits scene:
Text appears reading 'Two Weeks Ago'
News Reporter: 'Today is the fifth day since the Squadron Supreme disappeared. In response, a new Squadron has arisen. We here at Channel Six are honored to present to the folks at home: The new Squadron Supreme!'

Star Brand : Kevin Connor was just a normal college student when the White Event hit Earth, granting Kevin the blessing of the Star Brand. After destroying his entire college during the transformation, Connor attempts to go into hiding, only to be found by a being called Nightmask. Nightmask then explains that Kevin is a sign from the Gods, and that he is to be brought before Ex Nihilo, a creature of immense power. While bringing Kevin to Mars, Nightmask explains the origin of the Star Brand: Each universe possesses a monitoring station created by the first species to achieve sentience in their respective universe, where they monitor the health of the universe, releasing White Events for species that are about to become cosmically interesting. These White Events create the Star Brands, who are to act as their species' Shepard to the cosmos, bringing them into a new golden age. During this age, a species can either expand responsibly, creating a vast galactic empire, or irresponsibly, eventually devolving into anarchy. Through these Star Brands, the first species hopes to guide these species to successful empires, and Humanity is merely the newest species to receive the blessing of the Star Brand.
Arriving on Mars, Nightmask introduces Kevin to Ex Nihilo, who explains that he was the one who first granted Humans sentience after the Martian Empire he granted sentience devolved into anarchy when their Star Brand appeared. He then explains that Kevin seems to be different from the others, as this White Event sent a message to Nightmask: That the universe is broken. This message is startling to Ex Nihilo, who believes it to be a sign that Star Brand is to save the universe. However, the White Event always creates three beings: The Star Brand, the Cipher, and the Justice. The Justice and Cipher, the guardians of the Star Brand, must be found if Star Brand is to succeed. Thus, Star Brand is ordered to hunt down these other two and bring them before Ex Nihilo.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Swann, a scientist working for Project Spitfire, has awoken from a coma she entered hours ago when the White Event occurred. Now awake, Jennifer realizes that she now has the powers of technopathy, which Star Brand, who had just arrived, explains is the sign that she is the Cipher. Taking her with him, he brings her before Ex Nihilo, while he goes to hunt for the Justice, who is revealed to be the newly revived John Tensen. With the Justice now on his side, Star Brand returns to Ex Nihilo and Nightmask, where he, Justice, and Cipher request their next mission. However, Ex Nihilo explains that everything has been a ruse, and that he plans to kill Star Brand, Justice, and Cipher, gain their powers, then travel to the station of the first civilization, where he will use its power to take over the universe, then as the other universes collapse, he will rebuild them as his own multi universal empire.
With this sudden turn of betrayal, Star Brand, Cipher, Justice, and even Nightmask realize they've been lied to and escape Ex Nihilo. Back on Earth, scientists have begun warning the Earth over a meteor that is heading straight for Earth, which the four heroes realize has been thrown by Ex Nihilo. Heading back into space, the heroes push the meteor back towards Mars, then travel to the red planet where they fight Ex Nihilo. While they fight him, Nightmask destroys Ex Nihilo's control over the meteor, just as it begins to plummet to Earth. With Star Brand being the most important of the four, Justice and Cipher continue to fight Ex Nihilo as Nightmask teleports Star Brand back to Earth. Right as Star Brand reaches Earth, the meteor slams into Mars, creating a crater where Ex Nihilo was, killing him, Nightmask, Cipher, and Justice.
After credits scene:
Star Brand is shown back on his farm in Oklahoma, when Captain Universe appears before him.
Captain Universe: 'Star Brand Connor, I am Captain Universe, and I have come to request your help. What Ex Nihilo told you was not wrong: The universe is broken, and it needs your help. You are the last Star Brand, not just of our universe, but of all universes.'
Star Brand: 'What can I do?'
Captain Universe: 'Come with me.'
Star Brand nods, and the two teleport away.

West Coast Avengers Underworld : The West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye, Shroud, Hercules, Tigra, Darkhawk, Arachne, and X-51) return to fight for justice along the west coast, against any villains that would dare challenge them. After defeating the small time villain Needle, the West Coast Avengers are attacked by a new challenger: A man who claims to be from the underworld known as Tyrannus. Before the team can ambush him, however, Hercules blindly attacks him, allowing Tyrannus to escape.
When the WCA return to their mansion, they question Hercules's reasons for attacking Tyrannus, to which Hercules explains the backstory of Tyrannus: In the time of the Roman Empire, Tyrannus was a powerful Roman scientist who discovered the key to immortality. But when he tried to use his powers to overthrow the Gods of Olympus, Zeus punished him and condemned him to an underground city cut off from the world. What the Olympians didn't expect, however, was for the civilization to be alive and thriving, and when Tyrannus arrived, they worshipped him as a God. Thus, Tyrannus began to use his powers to unlock the full potential of the technology of the underground civilization, making him even stronger. After hundreds of years in this underworld, Tyrannus has chosen to return and take revenge on the world that imprisoned him. On cue, Tyrannus arrives at the West Coast Avenger's mansion with his army of underground followers, who he orders to begin destroying the mansion. Though the West Coast Avengers are able to escape his attack, the mansion is destroyed, leaving the WCA without a headquarters.
Temporarily moving to the headquarters of Rangers, the WCA begins to think of ways to eliminate Tyrannus, to which Hercules gives an idea the Olympians had thought of back when Tyrannus was first imprisoned: Launch him into space. Despite their hesitations, given the last person launched into space by the Avengers returned with a fleet of warships, the WCA agrees this is the best way to get rid of Tyrannus. However, without a way to get Tyrannus to space, the WCA's plan is useless. This, of course, is when Darkhawk says he is willing to sacrifice his Darkhawk armor to send Tyrannus to space.
While the WCA is unwilling to sacrifice Darkhawk's armor, they do come up with a better plan: Use War Machine's armor. Calling upon War Machine, Rhodey agrees to send over his Iron Patriot armor to the WCA, granting X-51 control of the armor. With the armor now under their control, the WCA head to a nearby highway, where they wait for Tyrannus. When Tyrannus and his army arrive, the team fights the army as X-51, who is controlling the Iron Patriot armor from afar, fights Tyrannus. Locking him in the suit, X-51 ejects Tyrannus into space, as well as sets the thrusters to detonate when he has left the solar system so that he cannot return. In rage for the murder of their God, the underground followers erupt into a frenzy, ordering all members of their race to begin wrecking the west coast.
Thus, to stop the underground dwellers from destroying everything along the west coast, the WCA summon all available members of both the WCA and the Rangers together. Composed of Hawkeye, Tigra, Wonder-Man, Hercules, War Machine, Arachne, X-51, Darkhawk, US Agent, Shroud, Firebird, Phantom Rider, Red Wolf, Shooting Star, and Texas Twister, this new super team heads out to Los Angeles, where Tyrannus's followers are attacking, and fight them off, making the leader of the followers agree to never return and attack the west coast again.

Spider-Verse Part 2 : The Spider-Verse saga continues just where it left off, as Tony Stark attacks Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Ultimate Jessica Drew. However, due to previous knowledge, Ultimate Jessica Drew is able to deactivate Tony's armor, which allows the three to interrogate him. They learn that this world's technology is the result of the combined knowledge of Tony Stark and Jennix, another Inheritor. Hoping to end the cloning program, Ben Reilly, now in Tony's armor, takes Ultimate Jessica Drew and Kaine to Stark Tower, where Jennix is located.
Meanwhile, Peter Parker has returned to the safe zone, where he plans to obtain a cloaking device from Superior Spider-Man and give it to Spider-Man Noir to protect him. At the same time, Peter also recruits Miles Morales and Spider-Ham to start recruiting other forces to build up the Spider Army. But before Peter can leave with Spider-Gwen and Anya to reach Spider-Man Noir, Solus and Morlun arrive in the safe zone. Despite Cosmic Spider-Man's immense power, he is no match for that of Solus, who kills him, while Morlun claims the Scion: Benjy Parker, the baby brother of Spider-Girl (Mayday Parker).
As these events transpire, Spider-Woman is revealed to have been infiltrating the headquarters of the Inheritors, where she has encountered the Master Weaver, who gives her scrolls that grant her the knowledge she needs on the Scion, the Bride, and the Other. But when Silk arrives and reveals that her dimension hopper has broken, she and Spider-Woman exchange hoppers, with Spider-Woman taking the broken one that is only capable of opening portals for objects, something she uses to send the scroll to Peter Parker. As she does this, Silk continues her dimension hopping, eventually reaching an irradiated dimension, which as she notices, holds back the Inheritor Twins who were following her. With this new safe zone in sight, Silk sends for the other members of the Spider Army, who arrive, and travel with her to a bunker, which is revealed to be where this dimension's Spider-Man, Uncle Ben, is.
Moving on, the Spider Army attempts to read the scrolls, only to see that they are illegible, meaning the only person who could have read them was Spider-Woman, who Silk feels responsible for abandoning. While Silk and Spider-Gwen go to Loomworld to rescue Spider-Woman, Anya is able to read the scroll, which states that the Scion, the Bride, and the Other are destined to lead the Spider Totems to overthrow the Inheritors after one thousand years. As this revelation occurs, Ben Reilly, Kaine, and Ultimate Jessica Drew confront Jennix, who reveals that he had been trying to clone the Spider Totems to give the Inheritors an infinite supply of food. This sends Kaine into a rage, leading to him destroying the facility, and unfortunately costing Ben Reilly's life. The Spider Army, now aware that the Other, the Bride, and the Scion will all be in Loomworld, arrives in Loomworld just in time to see Kaine's arrival in Loomworld, where he transforms into his Spider Totem form, killing Solus, but costing him his life.
With Kaine's blood in excessive supply, and Silk's also readily available, Morlun attempts to complete his ritual with a killing blow to Benjy Parker, only to be stopped by Peter Parker, who accuses Morlun of fearing Earth-616's Spider-Man, as he never once tried to capture him, and that he knew only this Peter Parker could defeat him. But before Morlun can respond, Peter Parker casts Morlun into a portal to the irradiated zone, allowing the Spider Totems enough time to overpower the other Inheritors. With their rule crumbling, the Inheritors are sent away to the irradiated world, where they shall remain for the rest of their lives.

The Devil Dinosaur : In a far off dimension, the dinosaurs never went extinct, and still roam the Earth to this very day. But even with their existence, hominids managed to evolve, reaching a tribal state by the time of the modern age. Now, these bands of cavemen dot the world, trying to survive in the shadows of the dinosaurs. One of these many tribes is the Small-Folk of the Valley of the Flame, a region of extreme volcanic activity, which the Small-Folk share with the Killer-Folk, their mortal enemies. Among these two warring tribes is the teenager Moon Boy. After escaping a deadly raid by the Killer-Folk, Moon Boy encounters the Killer-Folk sacrificing dinosaurs to a nearby volcano. As they murdered a mother dinosaur watching over her eggs, Moon Boy sprung into action and forced them away. Unfortunately, Moon Boy was unable to save the mother and two of her offspring, only finding a horribly burnt baby alive. Taking the baby into the forest, Moon Boy nursed the young dino to health, naming it Devil after its red skin it obtained from the fire it was burned in as a baby.
After two years of nursing Devil, the two bonded closely, and when Moon Boy returned to his tribe riding on Devil, he saw the entire village burnt to the ground, with every person murdered by the Killer-Folk. Thus, Devil and Moon Boy become wanderers, hoping to take revenge on the Killer-Folk for everything they have done. Meanwhile, the leader of the Killer-Folk, Stone-Head, is betrayed and murdered by his second-in command, Seven-Scars. This warmongering general, believed by the rest of the tribe to be worse than Stone-Head, knows of the existence of Moon Boy, who he wants dead more than anyone else. Thus, Seven-Scars places a bounty on the heads of Moon Boy and Devil, promising enough food to last a lifetime to whoever can kill the duo.
Forming his army of dino-riders and mercenaries, Seven-Scars tracks down Devil and Moon Boy, but is unable to capture or kill them before they escape. Heading down into a cave, Devil and Moon Boy find what appears to be a crack in the wall that leads to a different world. On the other side of the portal, massive metal structures jut out from the Earth, and people like Moon Boy populate these areas. Once inside the portal, Moon Boy and Devil are attacked by a strange half-man and half-spider creature wearing a black costume. Running back into the portal, Devil and Moon Boy barely escape back to their world before the portal closes, sealing off the spider-person menace on the other side.
Exiting the cave, Devil and Moon Boy are caught in a spiked trap by Seven-Scars. However, Devil, with his massive size and strength, is able to escape the trap, leaving Moon Boy behind. Given the option to abandon his friend and start over in life, Devil refuses, turning back to see Moon Boy being dragged to the volcano. Killing the guards, Devil frees Moon Boy, and the two rise to the top of the volcano, where Seven-Scars is seen sacrificing others to a giant spider creature that lurks in the lava. Riding on top of his own trained dinosaur, Seven-Scars challenges Moon Boy and Devil to a battle to the death, one which ends with Devil knocking Seven-Scars into the lava, where the spider creature devours him. Avenging their tribe and family, Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur return to the valley, hoping to start a new peaceful life.
After credits scene:
Two celestials, Devron and Gamiel, are seen floating down to the volcano.
Devron: 'It is unlike any of others. Never before have we seen a creature with such prowess!'
Gamiel: 'Yes, brother, this Devil would be perfect to use as a test subject for our theories.'
Devron nods and the two begin descending upon the valley.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 9 : The Collector has foreseen the end of the universe, and he wants to ensure to obtain everything he can from this universe to bring to the next one. Thus, he goes after the one team that would oppose him: the Guardians of the Galaxy, now composed of Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Quasar, Moondragon, and Adam Warlock. Thus, while on mission fighting an uprising on an outer rim planet, the Collector captures them and takes them to his collection vault he has prepared for the end of the universe. Inside, the Guardians encounter new and old faces, all of whom are attempting to stage a breakout when the Collector brings the Guardians in.
Now imprisoned by the Collector, the Guardians expand their roster to join forces with the strongest of the prison to stage a new breakout. Joining the Guardians is Cosmo the Spacedog, Howard the Duck, Beta Ray Bill, Wal-Russ, Monark Starstalker, and Pip the Troll. Together with the Guardians, this band of misfits comes up with a plan to escape the Collector. Step one: Obtain Stormbreaker for Beta Ray Bill. If the Korbonite were to obtain his Asgardian given powers, the breakout would be much easier. However, this requires Cosmo, Rocket, and Howard to escape through the vents, defeat the Collector's robotic guards, and then gain access to the weapon vault before the Collector notices.
Fortunately, the plan goes off without a hitch, with Rocket releasing the shield around Beta Ray Bill's hammer, allowing him to call his hammer to him. With the hammer and everyone's signature weapons, the group escapes the prison, only to discover it is located within a pocket universe known as the Microverse. As the group attempts to fly away from the prison, they are stopped by a hero of the Microverse known as Bug. After fighting off Bug and his fellow Microverse warriors, the convicts explain their situation to Bug, who is sympathetic to their cause. Bug agrees to join the group in their escape, telling them he knows a point in space that allows them to escape the Microverse.
However, when they reach this area in space, the Collector is waiting for them. After fighting the Collector's forces, the group is able to escape the Microverse, which is revealed to be another artifact in the Collector's collection, with Bug and his people created only for entertainment. Without a real purpose in life, Bug agrees to join the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the team escapes the vault.

Loki Agent of Asgard : After years of imprisonment, the Trickster God Loki has had a change of heart, and intends to do good, becoming an Agent of Asgard. Assembling a team of villains who he believes could do some good (Sigurd, Lorelei, and the Executioner), Loki begins to take missions from the newly resurrected All-Mother. On a recent mission, Loki discovers an Inhuman on Midgard, Verity Wills, who can detect his lies, bringing the two closer together.
With Verity and his motley crew of villains, Loki heads to the far north and obtains Gram, the former sword of Sigurd. Returning to the All-Mother, Loki and his crew are informed that their next mission is to retrieve the Norn Stones, the very things that first killed Loki until he was revived by the Beyonder. Agreeing, Loki, Sigurd, Executioner, and Lorelei journey to the Dark World, where they encounter a colony of Dark Elves worshipping a Norn Stone. Manipulating them into seeing Loki as a deity, the group grabs the Norn Stone and travels to the realm of the Ice Giants. Once there, the group encounters Ymir, who is guarding the Norn Stone. Confused by Loki's arrival, Ymir questions Loki as to why he would take the same Norn Stone he had told Ymir to protect. However, before Loki can question this, some Fire Demons of Surtur kill Ymir, forcing Loki and his team to flee with the Norn Stone to the realm of the Dwarf King.
While there, the Dwarf King hands Loki a scepter that he was ordered to create by Loki. Explaining that he never ordered some sceper, the Dwarf King explains that Loki arrived under the name King Loki, asking for a scepter to be created for him to rule Asgard with. Realizing the situation, Loki and his team take the scepter and return to Asgard, where they are greeted by the All-Mother. However, instead of their normal banter, Loki shoots the All-Mother, who is revealed to be an illusion created by the true culprit: King Loki, the God of Mischief from the future where he used the Norn Stones to become king of Asgard. However, an incursion in realities pulled King Loki to this universe, where he began to hunt for the Norn Stones, storing the ones he found with Ymir.
Back in the throne room, King Loki gives the real Loki an ultimatum: Accept his rule or watch everything he loves die. As Loki tries to stab King Loki, the eldest Loki teleports away, taking the Rainbow Bridge to Midgar, where he tries to tell Verity that he is the real Loki. However, Verity knows he is lying, forcing him to just straight out capture her. Traveling to Midgard, Loki and his group meet with King Loki, using Loki's illusionary magic to surprise King Loki. With his final words to King Loki saying that he decides his own destiny, Loki kills King Loki, claiming the throne of Asgard.
After credits scene:
Loki is shown sitting taking the Rainbow Bridge, landing on a small asteroid where Star Brand and Captain Universe.

Loki continues to walk towards Captain Universe, only to be attacked by Star Brand. However,
Star Brand is revealed to have attacked an illusion, allowing Loki to get close enough to Captain Universe to stab her.
Loki: 'Because only I can save this universe.'
Loki's skin is then shown changing to that of Captain Universe's.

Avengers Time Runs Out : The Avengers return, now fighting all around the Earth as incursions of other realities blink in and out of existence. These events have become so common that the Avengers have created two separate teams to deal with them: One team led by Steve Rogers (The Captain, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Captain Marvel), with the other led by Bucky Barnes (Captain America, She-Hulk, Wasp, Vision, Thor, and Black Panther). While Steve's team heads to Germany where an alternate reality MODOK has led an army of AIM soldiers, Bucky's team fights an army of Skrull Avengers in New York City.
When these two other realities pop out of existence, Namor The Sub-Mariner calls upon Iron Man and Black Panther. Meeting the Sub-Mariner in Atlantis, the two see that Namor has assembled the Illuminati. Namor then has Doctor Strange teleport the entire Illuminati to a world where the incursion is about to smash one reality into their own. Using a magic device said to bring about the death of the universe, Namor activates it and has Strange return them to Atlantis, killing the alternate reality, but destroying the planet as well.
He then tells the Illuminati that he has spent years researching the incursions, and that he has assembled a team of beings powerful enough to stop the Incursions: The Cabal. Calling them in, the Illuminati are shocked to see the team includes the Mad Titan, Thanos. Thanos then explains that he wishes to rule the universe, not destroy it, and that only through killing every other universe can he survive to rule it. Thanos then calls in the other members of the Cabal: Corvius Glade, Proxima Midnight, and Black Dwarf. With this group of villains, Namor claims that they will defend their universe and destroy all who oppose them.
Strange, opposed to allowing Namor to kill trillions of people, tries to explain that there could be another way to stop the incursions, only to be attacked by Black Dwarf, forcing Strange and the rest of the Illuminati to flee Atlantis. Back in New York, the Illuminati assemble the two teams of Avengers, as well as the West Coast Avengers (Hawkeye, War Machine, Wonder-Man, Shroud, Darkhawk, and Tigra), the Defenders (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Hellcat), the Midnight Sons (Ghost Rider, Blade, Moon Knight, Morbius, and Werewolf by Night), MI-13 (Captain Britain, Union Jack, Black Knight, Shang-Chi, Killpower, Hell's Angel, and Digitek) and miscellaneous other heroes (Spider-Man, the Great Lake Avengers, Ms. Marvel, Nova, Doctor Druid, etc).
With almost every superhero on Earth in one building, the Illuminati explain that Namor has betrayed the heroes to go and team up with Thanos and his crew to destroy other universes, as well as millions of civilians in their reality. Thus, the Illuminati declare that they plan to create five teams out of the existing teams to fight against the Cabal. Against Namor will be Team Stark (Iron Man, Captain America, She-Hulk, Nova, War Machine, Wasp, and Spider-Man), against Thanos will be Team Strange (Doctor Strange, Black Knight, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, Vision, Hercules, and Scarlet Witch), against Corvius Glade is Team Bolt (Black Bolt, Captain Marvel, Digitek, Doctor Druid, Ant-Man, Wonder-Man, and Shroud), against Black Dwarf is Team Fury (Nick Fury, Hawkeye, Union Jack, Moon Knight, The Captain, Arachne, and Falcon), and against Proxima Midnight is Team Panther (Black Panther, Thor, Tigra, Daredevil, Spider-Woman, Darkhawk, and Ms. Marvel). The rest of the heroes (Hellcat, Spectrum, X-51, the Great Lake Avengers, Killpower, Werewolf by Night, Shang-Chi, etc) are ordered to go around and fight any villains that appear around the world from the incursions. Hunting for the members of the Cabal, Team Stark locates Namor in Washington DC, Team Strange locates Thanos in Sokovia, Team Bolt locates Glade in Berlin, Team Fury locates Dwarf in Sydney, and Team Panther finds Proxima in Paris.
While the other teams attack their targets, Team Stark attacks Namor, trying to stop him from destroying Washington DC and the alternate reality. Namor then explains how all he wants to do is save this reality, and that even if the people of DC perish, the rest of the world will survive. Stark retorts back, saying how all Namor will do is destroy the planet and the other realities, something Thanos and his crew want. In rage, Namor attacks Team Stark, forcing them to retaliate.
Meanwhile, Team Strange attacks Thanos, who explains that if his universe is to survive, this Earth must be destroyed to prevent any further incursions. Thus, Thanos throws the device into the alternate reality, only for Strange to warp it into an empty dimension. Back in DC, however, the situation has grown even more dire, with Namor summoning the army of Atlantis to fight alongside him. However, as the army charges towards Team Stark, they are attacked by a different Iron Man, wearing a black and yellow suit. Then, suddenly, the army is attacked by other heroes: Miles Morales, a female Vision, and Quicksilver.
As Team Stark and the Ultimates fight Namor and his army, Loki appears in the sky, declaring that he intends to save each and every universe through ruling them. But before Loki does anything, Star Brand appears to Tony Stark, grabbing him and pulling him into a starship, and bringing him, Black Panther, and the Captain into orbit. Now in space, the survivors watch as the many universes collide into one another, with multiple earths crashing into each other. Everything then goes white.

The USS Vengeance
'I watched you open fire in a room full of unarmed Starfleet officers,' Kirk looked at Khan, shaken by Cora's words, but still not sure what that had to do with what Khan had done, why he had attacked, why he'd destroyed the archives just to get them all in one room. Ok, Marcus might be an enemy as well, but so was Khan, 'You killed them in cold blood.'
'Marcus took my crew from me!' Khan shouted, turning around, not seeing Cora flinch at his words and tone, at the emotion she could feel rolling off him.
He actually was..upset, about that, desperate to have his crew back. It made her pause, trying to sense if there was something else, if this was a way to manipulate the situation to his advantage. She was sure it would be coming, but..for that single moment, Khan was being honest.
'You're a murderer !'
'He used my friends to control me,' Khan began, his voice growing quiet, distanttroubled, 'I tried to smuggle them to safety by concealing in them in the very weapons I had designed. But I was discovered, I had no choice but to escape alone. And when I did, I had every reason to suspect that Marcus had killed every single one of the people I hold most dear.'
Cora flinched, closing her eyes at that as a tear fell from her eyes at the same time it fell from Khan's, having felt all that Khan felt as he spoke, the pain, the fear, thelovehe held for his crew. It left her shaking, to feel the pain he endured, the guilt he bore to have had to leave them like he had. She let out a breath, bowing her head, her face scrunching as she felt him speak, he was being honest, more open and honest than he had likely ever been. She took a breath, shaking her head as she looked back up at Khan, tears swimming in her eyes, not seeing Spock had put his own attention on her the moment she'd bowed her head, the moment she'd cried for Khan, instead of watching Khan.
'So,I responded in kind,' Khan finished. He turned around to face them, his gaze falling onto Cora, seeing her affected by his words, before he looked at Kirk, 'My crew..is my family, Kirk. Is there anything you would not do for your family?'
'Cora?' Kirk asked, glancing at her.
'I believe her reaction is testament to my story,' Khan remarked.
Cora took a breath and looked at Kirk, 'He is being truthful,' she told him, shaken from what she'd felt now.
She had been correct to assume the manipulation would come, and come it had. Because beyond the pain and guilt she felt rolling off him for what he had done and what had been done to his people, she also felt anger and drive andill intent. Whatever reason he was telling them this, for whatever reason he was being so honest..it was not for what others might think. Butthis was delicate, this was something that had to be handled with care. Khan wasmanipulative, he was trying to use her against the crew, she could sense it even now. He was trying to stir empathy in her, make her feel sorry for him, make her feel pitying for his plight, so that she might convince the crew to listen to him.
Yes, he DID feel all that as he spoke, he felt it for his crew. But SHE could feel beyond what he felt in the past to what he felt now. And there was something SHE needed to deal with Khan first before she could speak to Kirk about it.
'Proximity alert, sir,' a man called over Kirk's comm. before another word could be spoken, 'There's a ship at warp heading right for us.'
'Klingons?' Kirk looked down at the communicator.
'At warp?' Khan scoffed, 'No, Kirk. We both know who it is.'
'I don't think so,' the man agreed, 'It's not coming at us from Kronos.'
Kirk took a breath and turned to leave, Spock following, 'Lieutenant, move Khan to med-bay, post six security officers on him.'
'Yes, Captain,' the man he'd passed rushed to do just that.
'Cora?' Kirk turned to see the was still girl standing before Khan, not moving, 'You coming?'
Cora didn't even look back, her eyes locked on Khan, as she called, 'Permission to have a word with the prisoner before he is moved, Captain Kirk?'
Kirk stiffened, not liking that, butCora rarely EVER asked for things without a reason. And right now, with the ship approaching he didn't have time to refuse or question or even stay there with her and keep an eye on her, 'Granted,' he called, turning to Spock, 'Stay with her,' he ordered, before heading out.
Spock stood there, at the door, giving Cora space, but being close enough where he could hear what was being said, where he could watch Khan. It was..good, that he was there and not beside her. He hadn't been able to look away from her till Kirk's comm. had gone off, which was not good, it was not something he wanted Khan to see, his focus on her. From the door, he'd be far enough away where looking at her could be mistaken for looking at Khan as well. And the distance..was good, he had to be away from her, she was too close before. Seeing her upset, seeing her cry..it had twisted his gut most painfully, made him want to reach out to her, but he knew, after that moment he'd imagined in the shuttle, that touching her was the worst thing he could do.
If he touched her now..he wouldn't be able to let go.
If he touched her now..she'd sense EXACTLY how he felt, and he couldn't let that happen.
Cora stared at Khan a long while, 'You give away more than you mean to,' she remarked.
'I did not lie,' Khan defended.
'No,' she agreed, 'But in giving away what you have, I have seen more than you intended to reveal,' she told him, 'You paint a picture of being a victim, butI see you for what you are,' she tilted her head, studying him, 'I do not trust you Khan.'
Khan smirked at her, confident, 'But your captain will.'
'No,' she shook her head, 'You underestimate me again. My crewis my family as well. And I will protect them from you no matter the cost. In not trusting you, THEY will not trust you either, any of them.'
'You would influence a whole crew against me?' his eyes narrowed.
'No,' she argued, 'I do not need to influence them like that. I merely need to make them aware of my distrust. They trust me, more than they will ever trust you. I can tell when people lie to me Khan, I can tell when they have ill intent, when they are not giving the whole truth, when the have another motive,' she eyed him, 'I sense that in you. What you say and what you plan are two very different things. You hope to garner sympathy, you attempt to manipulate me, but you will fail, you have failed.'
Khan's eyes narrowed at her, at her implication that he hadn't succeeded, him, the best soldier out there, he should have been able to manipulate the Empathic, but it appeared he truly had failed, 'And you Empathics overestimate yourselves,' he tilted his own head, 'You claim expertise over emotions, you claim strength, you claim trust, and yet you cannot even go against the will of your masters. Tell me, if the Mas'heir that owned you before you were 'freed' into Starfleet ordered you to kill Kirk, would you do it?' he started to smirk, seeing her frown, 'I think you rather would. You have been conditioned your entire life to serve, to obey, to follow the orders of your master. That will never go away,' he eyed her, stepping closer, not seeing Spock start to move across the room at what he was saying, at how it was making Cora look down, reminding him too much of when Uhura had spoken to her in the Academy, reminding her of her place, 'You speak of freedom, yet you are still nothing but a slave . You follow the orders of a captain instead of a master, you obey the rules of Starfleet instead of the will of the Mas'heirs, you do as commanded and liken yourself to a freed woman yet you have merely exchanged one chain for another. Even your Vulcan controls you'
'Enough,' Spock cut in, appearing at Cora's side, stepping in front of her to block her vision of Khan. He knew the man was trying to manipulate Cora, he knew, logically, that it would not work, Uhura had tried the same and HE had been able to help her through it, he had spent years making sure she would never see herself as a slave again, but Khan was bringing up everything she had always had a fear of.
'Ooh,' Khan let out a laugh, 'That sounded angry , Spock,' he eyed the man, 'That was not the way the Vulcans would have you react to bait.'
'You threaten my mate,' Spock cut in, breathing heavily, feeling anger coursing through him, an anger that he couldn't hide from Cora as he heard her gasp behind him, feeling it clearly, feeling his desire to protect her, to get her away, to stop Khan talking, to..comfort her in a rather large way when he had gotten her alone, 'Any Vulcan would react the same.'
'No' Khan shook his head, seeming as though he were tsking him again, 'This is quite the human reaction,' he observed, 'Oh that is wonderful,' he laughed as Spock tensed even more, 'Half human, half Vulcan. It's no wonder you took an Empathic for your mate.'
'Who I took as my mate and why is no business of yours,' he turned, feeling the desire to let Khan out of the cell merely so he could stop the man talking racing through him, 'Cora,' he turned to lead her out, his body stiff.
'That's it,' Khan shouted, 'Command your little slave. She'll do your bidding won't she?'
Spock stopped, ready to turn and confront the man once more, when Cora took his hand and pulled him out of the room.
'Do not do that!' Spock yanked his hand away from her, feeling her trying to calm him down..
But his heart was racing too fast, his blood pumping, his body heaving with the strain of holding back. Cora was trying to soothe his anger and he did not want that. The more he tried to repress it, the stronger it came back. And if she touched him..he was going to lose complete control of himself. He could feel it, even then, the desire to grab her and just..kiss her, hold her close, not let her go, bring her closer and closer..
He closed his eyes, shaking his head fiercely, if she touched him..he wouldn't be able to stop himself. He didn't want this to be the way it happened, with him angry, with his anger driving him to do it. Cora had..changed him. He knew, had she been an ordinary human, his mind wouldn't care, he'd see it as his Vulcan drive to be with his human mate, and he'd allow it to take hold of him. But Cora was an Empathic, emotion and physical touch were FAR more important to her than a human. This, what he felt himself losing control of not doing, was something sacred to her people..he could NOT let it be tainted by the Pon Farr.
But she couldn't touch him.
He'd lose complete control if she did.
'But Spock' she began, holding up her hands in surrender.
She didn't know what else to do. He was angry, SO angry, more angry than she'd felt him over even the loss of his planet and she didn't know why. Khan's words had been harsh, yes, full of malice and manipulations but she felt..oddly enough..ok about it. It hadn't affected her like she knew it would have, and had, in the past. She knew Khan was trying to manipulate her and she knew his words were just that, words said to try and get to her. It didn't mean she listened , it didn't mean she believed them.
She knew she was not exactly a slave to Stafleet, Spock had ensured she stopped thinking of it that way ages ago. She knew she was not controlled by Spock but wasquite the opposite. She had found that she had a more profound affect on him and the way he lived his life than he did on her. Empathics were naturally feeling, they were emotional and based their actions on feeling. She had grown stronger for knowing Spock and she was always trying to please him and make him proud, that had not changed, that would never change, that was the way her people were. But Spockhe had also started to change, in small ways, being more open around her, touching her just a little more, kissing her more than just touching fingers. HE was the one willing to 'break' rules if it meant protecting her and doing what he could to see her safe and happy. Her happiness meant more to him than his life.
She didn't understand why he was so angry over what Khan had said, hardly any of it was actually hurtful. She knew Spock had gotten over his half-human conundrum and accepted that side of him, he knew how the mating between them worked better than her, there was no logical reason for him to be so angry and upset.
And he knew it too.
All the words Khan had said were more directed at Cora, which meant, logically, she should be upset not him, the words at him were hardly offensive, hardly should have incited such an anger in him. Buthe found it was hard to maintain rational thought at the moment. All he saw was Cora standing before another man, the man being harsh to her, speaking vile words that probably weren't all that vile considering what Cora had encountered all her life, and he justhe saw her upset even in the minutest amount and went after the man.
He was angry that Khan would try to bait his mate, manipulate her, use her to get to all of them, accuse her of things she would never do. It wasnot like him to get this angry over just mere spoken words.
And now he was getting even more angry at Cora for trying to calm him down. It wasit was the Pon Farr he knew. The battle with the Kilngons, it had excited him, excited the 'bloodlust' and fever that came with the anger the Pon Farr could induce. It wasn't anger per say, it was more a heightened passion. That passion could go towards anger and battle orbe reserved for his mate. He had already refused to force that on Cora, had hoped that he would be able to control the urges and the heightened emotions.
He had been doing well, in his mind at least, till the Klingons attacked.
Being in the middle of that battle, attacking the enemy, fighting, defending his mateit had incited all the emotion that the Pon Farr already heightened, it made it almost unbearable to deal with returning to the Enterprise with no release for his anger and aggression. It made him moreaware of Cora, with the battle behind him and the urges of Pon Farr even worse, he was having difficulty being away from her like he had tried to do before the Klingons, tried to keep distant, but nowhe couldn't be apart from her, he couldn't make himself send her away from him and he was just getting angrier about it.
Hewanted Cora, badly, but he refused to let the Pon Farr be the reason for them being united in that way. And with all the emotions building up, every little thing set him off. It was like he was full of flames that were eating him from the inside and it was getting worse. The Klingon battle had made it all the worse to endure.
'Do not try to calm me Cora,' he said, his voice shaking as he tried to control hisnot anger.
No, now it wasshifting, as it always did when it was him and Cora alone, it washe WANTED her to touch him, but he knew if she did, whether to try and show support or try to help his emotions it would send him over the edge. He couldn'the couldn't be near her right now. Seeing Khan attacking her verbally, feeling the need to defend her and protect her and be there for herit was making him think of her, it was making him long for her and focus on her and he couldn't . Not now, the worst time to feel such things and it just kept building.
From the way her hair glowed in the lights of the hall, standing out against the stark whiteness, her pale skin so soft, her eyes glowing in their teal color, brought out by the uniform she wore. She was covered, long sleeved, black leggings, black boots, barely only her hands and neck and face visible but the uniform hardly hid her figure and he forced his eyes to stop trailing down her body as they had been.
Hehe had to get away from her.
He turned and stalked towards the turbolift, Cora running after him, 'Spock wait!' she called, 'Please, whatever it was that I did, I offer my apologies..' she reached out to try to take his arm once more.
But he pulled it away as though he'd been burned, and he had, in the mostpleasant way he'd ever experienced, but he couldn't do it, he would NOT let the Pon Farr win, 'Leave me alone!' he snapped at her, hitting the button to the lift, forcing himself to look away as she stepped back, startled and hurt at his shout.
He had never shouted at her like that before.
He felt terrible buthe couldn't do that to her. The lift doors closed and started to move, taking him away from her andit hurt . It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, it hurt to even think..it felt like his entire body was on pins and needles as the humans would say, tingling but not in a good way, making his limbs feel heavier and heavier the further away he got from Cora. He let out a breath, falling back against the back of the turbolift, panting, pressing a shaking hand to his face as he closed his eyes, not even noticing how his hand was still shaking, how could he when the rest of him was shaking too from the effort it had taken to step away from Cora. He shook his head, trying in vain to get control of himself. But it was hard when the only thing he wanted to do was just
He swallowed hard, shaking his head even more fiercely. He turned, looking to the side before he jabbed a hand out, punching the wall of the lift once, twice, four times, needing something , some small way to vent his frustrations.
He justdidn't know what to do and he was running out of options and time.
Spock stepped out of the turbolift, his hands clasped behind him, his body more tense than it had ever been, just as Kirk stepped onto the Bridge, 'Captain on the bridge,' Sulu announced.
'ETA on the incoming ship?' Kirk demanded, moving to the chair.
'Three seconds, sir.'
'Shields.'
'Aye, Captain,' Sulu nodded just as a large ship, at least three times as large as the Enterprise, appeared before them.
Uhura glanced over at her controls when a signal went off, from having been watching Spock as the man turned and took a seat at his post, just as the doors opened and Cora entered, the girl seeming almost near tears as she glanced at Spock, who kept his back to her, before getting back to her job, 'They're hailing us, sir,' she reported.
'On screen,' Kirk ordered, 'Broadcast shipwide for the record.'
They waited and, a moment later, Admiral Marcus appeared on the viewscreen, 'Captain Kirk.'
'Admiral Marcus,' he greeted, 'I wasn't excepting you. That's a hell of a ship you got there.'
'And I wasn't expecting to get word that you'd taken Harrison into custody, in violation of your orders.'
'Well, we had to improvise when our warp core unexpectedly malfunctioned,' he eyed Marcus a moment, 'But you already know that, sir.'
'I don't take your meaning,' Marcus stiffened.
'That's why you're here isn't? To assist with our repairs. Why else would a head of Starfleet personally come to the edge of the Neutral Zone? And before you answer, Admiral,' he cut in, seeing the man starting to speak, 'You would do well to remember WE are the ship with the Empathic,' he gestured back at Coraonly to frown, seeing how upset she looked. He glanced between her and Spock a moment before shaking his head, he'd deal with that later, 'Cora?'
Cora blinked and looked at him before taking a breath and stepping up beside the chair, focusing on her duty to her crew, needing and welcoming the distraction for the moment. It was not..healthy for an Empathic to bury their emotions or to try and repress them, it tended to make them physically ill when it happened. She should be fine though, she wasn't forcing them down or trying to push them away just..not thinking of them at the moment. She WOULD deal with them later, with them and Spock and his actions, but for now..the Enterprise needed her abilities.
'He is well aware our warp core malfunctioned,' she agreed, the stiffening before was indicative of that.
'Captain, they're scanning our ship,' Sulu reported.
'Is there something I can help you find, sir?' Kirk turned his sight back on the Admiral.
'Where is your prisoner Kirk?' the man demanded.
'Per Starfleet regulation, I'm planning on returning Khan to Earth to stand trial.'
'Well, shit,' the man sighed, hearing Kirk call him 'Khan' instead of Harrison, 'You talked to him. Exactly what I was hoping to spare you from.'
'But not for the reason you would have us believe,' Cora cut in, 'You wish us not to know what your plans were sir.'
'Damn it,' he muttered, 'He even got to YOU too? Aren't you Empathics supposed to be foolproof?'
Cora frowned, the entire crew falling silent at that sort of..slight against her, 'I assure you, sir,' she spoke, a slight edge in her voice, 'My abilities are operating at maximum efficiency, there is not a single person in the Universe that can fool an Empathic. To quote Captain Kirk, you would do well to remember thatas it applies to you as well sir. YOU cannot fool me any more than Khan can. So I would suggest you do not try.'
Uhura and Kirk smirked at that, they had been working tirelessly to build up Cora's 'backbone.' Spock had done a hell of a job building up her confidence in herself and her sense of self-worth in the Academy, butthey wanted to make sure she'd be able to 'stick up for herself' when others came around. They wanted her to be able to fight back, to talk back, to argue even more than Spock had managed to get her to do. They wanted her to be as strong as she could be, becausethey had no doubt, one day, she really would try to ask the Fleet for another attempt to free Hestia, and she would need all the confidence, strength, and argument in the world. To see her, their quiet Empathic, standing there, talking back to one of the heads of the Fleet witha little bit of sasswas worth it.
Their little girl was growing up so fast!
The rest of the crew merely eyed Marcus as the man frowned, all of them now aware that HE had been trying to manipulate the situation and make it appear as though THEY were being manipulated. Kirk, however, and Cora and Spock, knew that both sides were trying to do that, manipulate them, yet they were all three prepared to not believe either side.
Cora may have sensed that Khan was telling the truth at times, but that didn't mean the truth didn't have an ulterior motive behind it. Finding out she was an Empathic meant Khan HAD to tell the truth, otherwise there wouldn't have been a snowball's chance in hell that they'd believe a word he'd say. They knew the man was just hoping that, in doing so, she wouldn't look further into his emotions, but she did. The crew really was her family and she would protect them from any danger she could.
'The truth would be appreciated, Admiral,' Kirk added.
Marcus sighed, 'I took tactical a risk when I woke that bastard up. Believing that a superior intelligence could help us protect ourself from whatever came after us next. But I made a mistake . And now the blood of everybody he's killed is on my hands. So I'm asking you..give him to me, so I can end what I started.'
Kirk smirked, not even needing to ask to know the man was lying, 'Cora, why don't you give him an example of how 'efficient' your abilities really are.'
Cora nodded, 'It was not a tactical risk, you were well aware who Khan was when you opened him,' Cora countered the man's words, able to determine that from his expressions, from the tone of his voice, 'You did so because you knew of his superior intelligence. What you are asking is not to protect the Universe. You want him so that he cannot tell others what you did and what you were planning to do.'
She frowned, she was starting to feel thathe would not want THEM to be able to tell what he had done either.
'Thank you Cor,' Kirk winked at her, smirking when he saw Spock glare at him, served the pointy-eared bastard right, he could tell that when Cora was upset for no apparent reason it was because of Spock, especially when it was Spock who ignored her being upset, normally the man would be the first one to try and comfort her, 'What exactly would you like me to do with the rest of his crew, sir?' he continued, 'Fire at them? At the Klingons and end 72 lives? Start a war in process?'
'He put those people in those torpedoes!' Marcus argued, but they knew it really had been to smuggle them out, for whatever reason or purpose, whether because it was Khan's 'family' or his army, they didn't really care, the point was, they knew WHY the bodies were in the torpedoes, 'I simply didn't want to burden you with knowing what was inside of them.'
'You seem to forget our Empathic once more, sir,' Kirk cut in, 'You should have realized putting her beside a living thing would clue her in to something living being inside them.'
'You saw what this man can do all by himself,' Marcus continued, 'Can you imagine what would happen if we woke up the rest of his crew?! What else did he tell you? That he's a peace-keeper? He's playing you, son. Don't you see that?'
'Yes sir, actually we did see that,' Kirk rolled his eyes, 'Again, Empathic,' he gestured at Cora, 'She was assigned to this ship for a reason sir, it would be..illogical of us not to utilize her when events such as these arise. We had Cora sit in on the discussions and, as we have warned you already sir, she is well aware of any lies Khan may have told us. Which are, surprisingly, few.'
'His intent is ill,' Cora added, 'But what he told us IS the truth sir.'
'Look,' Marcus sighed, 'Khan and his crew were condemned to death as war criminals. And now it is our duty to carry out that sentence. Before anybody else dies because of him. I'm going to ask you again. One last time, son. Lower your shields. Tell me where he is.'
'That does not sound like asking,' Cora remarked, but Kirk held up his hand.
He was silent a moment, 'He's in Engineering, sir,' he answered, 'But I'll have him moved to the Transporter room right away.'
Cora frowned at the lie, as did Spock.
'I'll take it from here,' Marcus cut the transmission.
'Do not drop those shields, Mr. Sulu,' Kirk ordered, getting up.
'Aye Captain,' Sulu nodded.
'Captain,' Spock stepped over, though he stopped a few feet away from Cora, 'Given your awareness of Khan's true location in the med-bay, may I know the details of your plan?'
'I told Marcus we're bringing a fugitive back to Earth, that's what we're going to do,' was all Kirk said, 'Mr. Chekov, can we warp?' he called into the comm. Star Conflict: Fleet Strength - Loki Cracked
'Sir, if we go to warp, we run ze risk of seriously damaging ze core,' Chekov replied.
'Can we do it?'
'Technically yes, but I would not adwise it, Captain.'
'Noted. Mr. Sulu,' he looked over, sitting down, 'Set course for Earth.'
'Yes, sir,' Sulu put in the commands.
'Punch it,' Kirk ordered, and the ship flew into warp, trying to escape the USS Vengeance that Marcus was on, 'Lieutenant Uhura, contact Starfleet, tell them we were pursued into the Neutral Zone by an unmarked Federation ship.'
'Comms. are down, sir,' Uhura reported.
'Permission to come on the Bridge!' Wallace shouted as she ran over to the doors.
'Dr. Marcus,' Kirk stood, glancing over at Cora as she moved to stand by Uhura instead of Spock, yet another indication that something was wrong.
'He's going to catch up to us and when he does the only thing that is going stop him destroying this ship is me,' Wallace told him immediately, rushing up to him, 'So you have to let me talk to him.'
'Carol, we're at warp . He can't catch up with us.'
'Yes he can,' she insisted, 'He's been developing a ship that has volatile warp capabilities and'
'Captain,' Sulu cut in, 'I'm getting a reading I don't understand'
The ship suddenly jolted, sending them all flying to the ground as it was attacked mid-warp, all of them watching, stunned, as Marcus and his ship caught up to them, mid-warp , and fired, till they literally fell out of the warp, into space.
'Where are we?' Kirk called as they straightened themselves.
'237,000 kilometers from Earth,' Sulu reported.
'Damage report!' Kirk shouted, seeing Cora fall to her knees, and grab her stomach, closing her eyes, turnign a bit green as she seemed about to be sick..and he knew when she opened her eyes to reveal tears in them..that some of the crew had just died.
'Weapons are not working,' one of the women called, 'We're defenseless.'
'Sir we have a bulkhead breach,' another added.
'Where's the damage?' he asked.
'Major hull damage, Captain,' a man replied.
The ship shook as it was fired on again, Cora wincing as Uhura fell beside her, putting an arm around her as she felt the others all throughout the ship injured and others dying.
'Evasive maneuvers, get us to the Earth, right now!' Kirk ordered.
'Captain, stop,' Wallace grabbed his arm, 'Everybody on this ship is going to die, if you don't let me speak to him!'
Kirk looked at her.
'She isspeaking the truth,' Cora whispered, 'He will not listen to us .'
Kirk sighed, 'Uhura, hail them.'
Uhura nodded and pressed the controls, nodding to Wallace to speak, 'Sir, it's me, it's Carol!' Star Conflict: Fleet Strength - Loki Crack Patch
A moment later the viewscreen flickered on and Marcus was there, staring at her in shock, 'What are you doing on that ship?!'
'I heard what you said,' Wallace continued instead, 'That you made a mistake and now you're doing everything you can to fix it. But, dad..' her voice broke, 'I don't believe that the man who raised me is capable of destroying a ship full of innocent of people. And' she blinked, feeling tears in her eyes as she swallowed hard, Cora closing her eyes as she felt tears prickling her as well at the crack in Wallace's voice, 'If I'm wrong about that, then you're going to have to do it with me onboard.'
But Marcus just smirked, 'Actually Carol, I won't. You or the Empathic.'
Cora's eyes flew open at that, staring at the man in alarm.
'She's too valuable to the Fleet and you're my daughter,' Marcus said and, before their eyes, transport lights began to surround Cora and Wallace.
'Jim' Wallace looked at him, alarmed.
'Can we intercept the transport signal?' Kirk looked at them.
'No, sir!' a man reported.
'Cora!' Spock shouted, rushing to herbut he was too latethe transport kicked in..
She and Wallace were gone.
A/N: Poor Spock, he yells at her and then loses her :( But you know what they say..distance makes the heart grow fonder ;) ;)
I can say we saw a bit here with her speaking to Khan but..we'll soon see how not-defenseless Cora really is ;)
Some notes on reviews..
Oh they'll find out..very, VERY soon what's up with Spock ;) And the reactions will be, interesting :)
Definitely a bit of conflict between Cora and Khan, even more here :) I don't think he likes that she can see through him :)
Lol, I like the 'bad guys' too, -cough-Loki-cough- -
Oh quite a few things will come to light, definitely, especially something interesting about Cora as well ;)
