The Knights and The Children Pt. 1
At the unknown island, Jericho laid on his bed wide awake. Even though the room was pitch black, he kept his eyes open while he looked up at the roof.
Stella: Psst. Jericho.
Jericho: Yeah?
Stella: You awake?
Jericho: I wouldn't be answering if I wasn't.
He heard her shift in her bed, probably to look at him, before he heard some noise to his right.
Stella: I can't sleep.
Jericho: What else is new?
Stella: Scientists recently found a new kind of fish.
Jericho smirked at her answer. He loved his siblings, even if they did get on his nerves constantly.
Stella: Skully seemed really mad today.
Jericho knew what she was talking about. Red Skull, a nickname he was not very fond of, was watcging them even more intensely than normal. They even had to go into the labs for another "blood test". Really what had happened was the people had injected them with something. He could feel it.
Stella: Do you think we're in trouble?
Jericho: No.
He wasn't an idiot. Even Sun was smarter than the average person. He could feel his body change. He knew that they had stopped them from aging faster. What moron would belive that they could have 15 birthdays in a span of a few months?
Sun: Can you two keep it down? I'm trying to sleep here.
Jericho just rolled his eyes.
Jericho: One day I swear...
Sun: You'll break us out and we can go live normal lives. We've heard it before. Let me sleep.
Jericho grunted while Stella giggled.
Stella: It has been a long day. I'm going to try and go back to bed.
Jericho listened as his siblings shifted in their own beds. Jericho didn't close his eyes. He just stared at the roof, and thought.

Outside, a Hydra soldier stood at the dock on guard. He held his gun at the ready as he looked out on the vast ocean. Then, from the darkness, came a bullet that immediately shot through his neck. As his body fell over lifeless, a boat emerged from the darkness. Four men jumped out and got to work.
Knight 1: The coast is clear.
Knight 2: Moving in.
The four men quickly, and quietly, made their way towards the tree line. They moved their way around before they spotted two more soldiers. Two of the men broke away and snuck around behind the soldiers. The first man popped out and grabbed one of the soldiers before slitting his throat with a curved knife. The second soldier noticed but was quickly taken care off by a black mass that wrapped around his neck and pulled him into the darkness.
The four men then stepped into the light.
Knight 1: Looks like we're in the clear.
Knight 2: Yep! Now let's go get some more.
Knight 3: Focus on the mission at hand Moon.
Punisher: Any word on where the compound is kid?
Quentin: T-Two miles e-east. There s-should be an e-entrance.
Moon Knight: See what I was saying guys? This little nerd is awesome!
Punisher: I was out voted already. Though, it is nice to have someone who knows how to work on a computer.
Venom: The kid isss very sssmart. Trusst usss.
Punisher: I do. Let's get going.
The four men contiued their way through the jungle while they took down every Hydra guard in their way.

Sun opened his eyes to the dark. He was peacefully asleep before something woke him up. It wasn't his siblings this time though. He sat up and ignited his hand to be able to look around the dark room. It had only been around 2 hours since lights out so their shouldn't be anyone coming to check in on them.
He got out of bed and walked around. What was that feeling? Why did it feel so, familar?
Jericho: What are you doing?
Sun turned to see his siblings waking up as well.
Sun: Do you feel that?
Jericho was about to scold his brother but stopped. He did feel something. Like, a missing piece of him was returning.
Stella: What is this? Is it because of the tests?
Sun: No. This is something else.
The two siblings got out of bed and walked over to their brother.
Jericho: What the hell is going on?
Suddenly, the alarms went off. While Stella and Sun were worried, Jericho smiled.
Jericho: Guys, this is it.
His siblings looked at him.
Jericho: If someone is attacking then we can use this chance to escape. They're be so distracted!
Stella looked down.
Stella: I don't know Jericho.
Jericho: Guys, this will be easy. We have powers while they have nothing.
Sun: They have guns.
Jericho: And we can heal! Stella, what are the chances of us escaping?
Stella thoight about it for a second.
Stella: 57%.
Jericho: That's good enough for me. Plus with Sun's strength, we can't fail.
Sun smiled.
Sun: You know what? I'm in.
The two brothers looked to their sister.
Stella: I..ok. I'm in.
Jericho smiled before he walked over to the door. He placed his hand against it and ice began to spread. He then backed up Sun stepped forward and ignited his fist before punching the lock.

Eddie: What is this?
Venom: You're sssensssing fragmentsss of me. Thessse experimentsss have a bit of me in them.
Quentin: So it's n-not just...
Moon Knight: They took his DNA when he was still attached to Venom. That means they have a bit of him to.
Punisher: So they really are weapons of mass destruction.
Venom: Without a doubt.
Moon Knight: And we have to save them. Keep them alive to.
Punisher: Copy that.
A flood of soilders came rushing out of a nearby building and Quentin activated the small drones on his suit. They flew out and immediately opened fire. The soldiers began to fall while Venom and the Punisher shot the rest.
Moon Knight: I need to get me a gun.
