Y/N Romanoff Creed was taken by the Ten Rings and turned into a Godslayer. After he escaped, he lived a life of crime before turning it around and become.....

Monster!

After their trip to New York, the Strikers and their new members returned to Burns, Alsaka to pick up their Striker Operations. However, Y/N learned that that Avengers have not investigated the Pride nor Molly's friends. After declaring it a Striker mission, Victor also expressed his desire to have Molly join the Creed family.

Before they could celebrate, the new siblings found a visitor at Striker Manor. One Johnny Storm.

Meanwhile, Felicia and Cat had informed Y/N of their father returning after years of being missing.

Strikers: Monster, Scarlet Witch, Cloak, Dagger, Wolverine, Enchantress, Squirrel Girl, Bloodstone, Loki, Wave

Unaffiliated: Sabertooth, Human Torch, Black Cat

SHEILD: Mockingbird

Monster:
Strikers

You leaned against the wall as you kept your eye on the man who was apparently your uncle. Your mom's brother. All of the Strikers had gathered in the lounge room while Bobbi and Victor dissapered to the kitchen.

Johnny was currently sitting on the couch with a cup of tea that Wanda had made him. Everyone waited for you to say something. To do something. But what the hell were you supposed to say?

Y/N: Where have you been?

Everyone looked over to you as you watched the man with narrow eyes. Were you mad? Yeah. Absolutely. This man was your uncle. He operated out of New York. At least, that's what you were told.

Moony had an excuse. He kept an eye on you for your whole life, making sure you never got into too much trouble.

Victor was here working for SHIELD, believing you to be dead and him to be alone.

What the hell was Johnny's excuse?

Johnny look up at you and sighed.

Johnny: Honestly? I'm still not entirely sure. The last few years have been.....weird.

Tandy noticed you tighten the grip you had on your own arm. She placed a hand on your shoulder, but you couldn't find yourself calming down.

Tandy: Keep a cool head. We don't need the Manor going up in flames.

She had a point.

Elsa: So, you don't know where you've been for the last 16 years? I call fucking bullshit.

Pearl: I'm gonna have to agree. How come you never made contact with Y/N?

Johnny rubbed his neck before he looked up at you.

Johnny: Like I said. It's been a weird few years. The best way I can explain it is....shit.

Tyrone: Take your time. It ain't like you're leaving without an answer.

Loki: And if it's a bad one, then we'll deal with it accordingly.

You stepped forward and looked down at Johnny.

Y/N: Where the hell have you been? Where have the Fantastic Four been?

Johnny: There isn't a Fantastic Four anymore, kid.

He looked up at you.

Johnny: They're gone.

The room went silent. The Fantastic Four were...gone?

Laura: No shit, Sherlock. Where did they go?!

Johnny: I don't know. I really don't. Up til a few weeks ago, I didn't even know where I was.

He didn't know where he was? He didn't smell like he was lying. If he did, it would smell more like rotten meat. But he honestly smelt the same. He was telling the truth.

Doreen: Well, do you remember what happened?

Johnny rubbed the back of his neck.

Johnny: It all comes back to me slowly. So far, I think we opened a gate about 16 years ago. After that....I don't know.

A gate? Could it be a doorway? Were the Fantastic Four stuck somewhere else? That could be a problem. What if they were in a world like X? The one Elsa was stuck in.

Either way, it looks like you weren't getting an answer. At least for now.

Y/N: Alright.

Everyone turned to you as you crossed your arms.

Y/N: You can stay here until you remember. Once you do, we'll figure something out.

Johnny smiled as he stood up. He walked over to you.

Johnny: Thanks.

He then chuckled a bit.

Johnny: You know, you have my sister's...

Y/N: Eyes. I've been told. Elsa can set you up in a room.

Elsa: What? Why me?

Y/N: Cause I said so. And because I need to talk to Loki and Amora about something.

The two looked at you surpsied.

User Monster updated his message board.

If the Strikers are needed, contact Bloodstone or Mockingbird.

Comments:
Spidey: Why?

Nova: Monster? Hello?

Viv: It appears that his devices are turned off.

Wasp: We got those phones for a reason!
-----------------
You stood at the edge of the dock that overlooked the water. Several ships were already out fishing which reminded you of your first day here.

From the get go, you always got a strange feeling from this place. You and Wanda learned about the ley lines but she ended up pulling them out of the ground. Not only that, but Nicolas Prophet was still MIA. So was his cult.

You stopped the Long Night but you didn't know how much longer it would be before they tried to do it again. And on top of that, you had a pressing matter that you had been putting off.

Loki: We have arrived!

You turned around to see the people you had requested for this mission. Loki, Amora, Laura, and Wanda.

Laura: Gotta say, I don't like being the one with the least amount of powers here.

Y/N: Hopefully we won't need to fight. But I do need you for this mission.

Wanda: Yes, and what is the mission? Why did you ask us to leave our phones at the Manor?

You reached into your pocket and pulled out your Striker card.

Y/N: Because this has to be completely off the record. No one outside of the Strikers can know about it.

The four seemed surpised. You had never ran an underground mission before. Then again, you didn't have a reason to.

You turned to Loki.

Y/N: When the Final Host attacked, you said that you helped them to find the World Tree. That it was here in Burns.

Loki nodded.

Loki: It is. I still haven't had the time to look for it however.

Y/N: Well now you do. You, Amora, and Wanda will use your powers to find it. Then, we'll go and check it out. From there we'll decide what to do.

Amora: You wish to locate the World Tree? What for?

You looked over to the mountains that surrounded Burns.

Y/N: Because it needs to be protected. And if it really is the key to taking over the Nine Realms, then we need to make sure that no one can use it.

Loki smiled as he turned and began to walk away.

Loki: Well, then. Onward to adventure!

You all watched him for a moment before you sighed. Might as well get this started.
------------------------
Felicia: I hate these things.

Cat: I know.

Felicia let out a sigh as she stepped out of the taxi. She fixed her dress before she looked at the building she was about to enter. Cat was the mastermind thief. Felicia was the pretty face. Mixed together, they were dangerous.

Cat: Consider the cat.

Felicia handed her invitation to the man guarding the door. He nodded and handed it back to her before he stepped aside to let her in.

Cat: The cat goes where she wishes. Her charm, her poise, is her passport. Who can deny her? The cat draws all eyes to her. Her glamor, her mannerisms, draw attention. Who can ignore her? The cat accepts what gifts are offered to her. And she is not offered, she takes. Who can refuse her?

Felicia walked through the elegant room filled with people dressed in the finest of clothing. They wore jewelry that could very well cost the same as someone's rent for four months.

Her dress was long and beautiful. Her makeup was minimal yet stunning. Her hair was tied up professionally. Around her neck was a golden necklace, lined with diamonds.

Felicia: Pretty words, Cat. But this cat likes pretty things.

She accepted the glass of champagne and smirked as she took a sip. She closed her eyes to savor the flavor, before they opened again, changed.

Cat: Oh, I know~

You and Laura looked around the area as Wanda and Amora meditated in the middle of the woods. Loki watched from ontop of a nearby rock as they tried to track the source of the powerful magic.

Laura: So, correct me if I'm wrong...

Y/N: With great pleasure.

Laura: But isn't the World Tree suppose to be in the center of the universe? Why is it in Burns?

You thought about it for a moment. Damon did say that Burns didn't really exist. That it itself was actually the center of the universe. But you still didn't know how that could be.

When you and Wanda got here all those months ago, you just suddenly appeared in town. And you did the same thing with Robbie and Laura. Once you found Burns, or it found you, you just knew where it was.

Did the World Tree create this place?

Wanda: I can't pin point the exact location of the energy.

She sighed as she relaxed. Amora did the same and stood uup. She turned to Loki who was eating an apple.

Amora: Why do I feel like you know something we don't?

Loki shrugged.

Loki: I can assure you that I do not know anymore than you do. The Final Host was to lead me to the tree, but you killed it.

Y/N: I'm not apologizing.

Loki jumped down from the rock and tossed the apple core away. He then dusted his hands before his staff appeared out of thin air.

Loki: I suppose I can try something.

He lifted his staff up before he stabbed it into the ground. Suddenly, lines under the snow began to glow a bright blue color which shocked everyone. Loki simply smirked.

Loki: I see.

Wanda: Wait, those are the ley lines. I got rid of those.

Loki: On the contrary. Your magic amplified them. These are no ley lines. These are the Tree's roots.

He pulled his staff out of the ground and the lines stopped glowing. He then lifted his staff up and it began to glow instead.

Laura: So, you think we can follow them back to the tree?

Loki: Aye.

Y/N: Well, lead the way.

Johnny was sitting on the edge of the bed as he tapped his foot. His mind was in scrambles right now. He hasn't seen you since you were born. And the Strikers were disbanded.

He was the only member of the Fantastic Four present on Earth. At least....he didn't even know.

Victor: You look as moppy as ever.

Johnny lifted his head to see Victor leaning against the doorframe.

Johnny: Vic. Hey.

Victor: Molly brought me up to speed. The others are still missing?

Johnny nodded.

Johnny: I don't know where they are. What about the other Strikers?

Victor took a deep breath before he scratched his beard.

Victor: Things are a bit...complicated these days.

Johnny sat up as Victor sighed.

Victor: Damon is still working all over in the occult, Marc is back in New York doing...something. Blaze is back in Hell, Namor is about to wage war on the surface world, and Black Bolt is back at Attilan.

Johnny: What? Why....why us Johnny in hell? Why is Namor ready to wage war?

Victor: Like I said. Complicated.

Johnny: Well, what about the others?

Victor looked at his former teammate and brother in law for a moment.

Victor: The Creator and Venom are dead. Everyone else is still missing. Unaccounted for.

Johnny found himself shocked. The Old Man and Venom? He was gone for 16 years. Yet.....he couldn't even remember why. And now he finds out that two of his former teammates were dead alongside his sister?

He slowly stood up and ran a hand through his hair.

Johnny: That....no way.

Victor: I'm sorry. But, like Y/N said, you can stay here. I mean, the damn kid kinda runs the place.

Johnny gave it some thought before he shook his head.

Johnnh: No.

Victor looked at him in surpise.

Johnny: I....I have to get to the Baxter Building. I'm sure...

Victor: The Baxter Building belongs to someone else now.

Johnny: I still have to try.

Victor sighed.

Victor: I can't stop you. If you truly think that you have to go, then go. But you're going to explain it to Y/N.

Victor turned and left the room. Johnny clenched his fists and made his choice. He needed answers.

Victor walked down the hall while he mumbled to himself. However, he stopped when he smelt something. He looked up and noticed the smell was coming from his room.

He walked over to his door and opened it, finding Bobbi drying her hair off with a towel.

Bobbi: Oh, there you are.

Victor stood there for a moment confused. She looked like she was ready for bed. His suspensions were confirmed when she walked over to his bed and pulled the blankets back to lay down.

Was....was this going to be a thing.

Bobbi: I'm going to read for a bit before I go to sleep. You don't mind, do you?

Victor opened his mouth to sya something, but he decided against it and instead mumbled to himself.

Victor: I'm taking a shower.
---------------
Laura: It's pretty dark now.

The sun had gone down a while ago and you all wore coats to keep yourselves warm. Loki continued to lead the way with his staff providing some light.

You lifted your hand and one of your runes started to glow, providing a small fire.

Loki: It appears that we are nearly there. Can you feel it?

You lifted your free hand and noticed that the air did seem to be different. It was like you were moving through water now.

Wanda: It's up ahead.

Loki nodded as you all reached a clearing. You all stopped and stared at what was before you.

Y/N: Woah.

Loki lowered his staff as you all looked around the area. It wasn't even like you were in Burns anymore. You got rid of your flame but it didn't get any darker. The tree provided all the light you needed.

You all wondered for a moment before you noticed something in the tree.

It was a door.

Your raised a brow confused as you approached it. You reached out and touched it, making it open. And your eyes went wide.

You were looking into the Manor. From the same door that Wanda couldn't get open.

Amora: It's more beautiful than I could've imagined.

Loki: Aye. This is it. The key to the Nine Realms.

Laura: Crazy.

You looked back at your team then noticed something else on the tree. Moving orbs of light. Nine of them in total. One for each Realm.

Wanda: This is the root of Burns. This is the source of the spiritual and magical energy. All from the World Tree.

You smiled a bit. This place was crazy. And to think, you had a doorway to it this whole time. Simply locked from the other side.

???: Fascinating.

You all turned at the voice to find two people entering the area. Loki and Amora were immediately on guard at the sight of the woman.

Loki: Hela.

Hela: Loki. Amora. How interesting.

Mysterio: This is the World Tree.

He looked around impressed. He then looked at you. It was like he knew who you were.

Hela: Thank you for showing it to us. Now, step aside.

Laura popped out her claws as you created a ball of fire in your hands.

Y/N: Fat chance, Hot Topic. You two are with the Cabal, right?

Mysterio: Yes.

You grinned as you got ready for a fight.

Y/N: Good. Now I can get some payback for you sending my friend away.
