Issue #3 - The Gratuitous Cameo Issue (Currently Being Revised)

*In X-23's apartment*

*Heat was the last to enter X-23's somewhat run down sized studio apartment. Heat closes the door behind herself while Arctic plopped onto the nearby couch in the living room. Meanwhile Sparky was mousing around the place, scanning through empty pizza boxes, canned food, then candy bar wrappers. X-23 watched over all of them then solely to Sparky once noticing that he was staring at her fridge*

Heat: Not a bad place at all.

*X-23 looked over to Heat while Sparky quickly turned to a nearby toaster. He then stared up at a fresh loaf of bread, above her fridge, then glanced over to X-23*

Sparky: You know, this reminds me of Arctic's old apartment.

*X-23 slowly turned to Arctic while Heat walked over toward them*

X-23: You had an apartment, Arctic?
Arctic: Yeah, it was a bit of a phase.
Heat: So X-23...uhm, Squirrel Girl was talking about something of a wolverine earlier.
Sparky: She's probably talking about that pet her little sister...had...

*Sparky slowly scanned around the kitchen, then room looking around for someone, while X-23 shook her head*

X-23: No it's my...my new hero title. I am a clone of a man named Logan. Long story short, he had taken me in and helped me find a purpose...and well after he died I wanted to carry the mantle he left behind...The Wolverine.

*Heat firmly nodded to X-23, giving her a look of admiration. Sparky casually grabbed the toasted bread from the toaster*

Heat: Well that really reminds me of me and my dad. He uh...we were tracking a villain, named Plague, who...killed my mother and he...ended up getting killed too. I went on a warpath to find Plague when I ran into Arctic and...my long story short of it was that I was able to get my revenge...because of my friends here and carry on my father's legacy as a hero.
X-23: I'm sure both your parents would be proud of you.
Heat: As I'm sure Logan, would be proud of you too.

*Sparky took a bite out of the toast, proudly nodding to both of them*

Sparky: That's pretty touching, so where's Gyro-
X-23: And did someone give you permission to eat my bread?

*Sparky's eyes instantly became wide with terror. He heavily gulps his food, slowly moving the toast he bit away from his face. He then looks to the second toasted bread and then to X-23, handing the bread to her*

Sparky: Ugh, sorry.

*X-23 snatched the bread from his hand, shaking her head at Sparky. Sparky scarfed down the toast he'd already bitten into, causing Heat to sigh and shake her head*

Heat: Sorry about him. I'm sure Sparky didn't mean anything by it even though he does, at times, lack manners.
Sparky (With food in his mouth): I do not lack manners.

*Sparky whipping the crumbs off his face, hesitantly watched X-23 who was still shaking her head at him. Arctic shook his head and sighed as well*

Arctic: Well-...wait a minute, is Gyro and Squirrel Girl still downstairs?


{End of Scene#1}


*Apartment entrance, on the stairwell*

Gyro: Gabby will end up as a mental case if she hangs around you!
Squirrel Girl: There's nothing wrong with talking to Squirrels!
Gyro: Well, I never thought there was a step below crazy cat ladies until I met you!
Squirrel Girl: I bet me and my squirrels can wipe the floor with you!
Gyro: Do you honestly think I can be defeated by a couple of squirrels!? What do you think you and your squirrels are!? Unbeatable!?

*Arctic, Sparky, Heat and X-23 watched them argue from a few floors up the stairwell. Arctic chuckles then looks over to Sparky*

Arctic: Did she really just say that?

*Sparky playfully nudged Arctic, looking at him with a wide smirk*

Sparky: Well, I'm glad to see they're hitting it off pretty well!
[Gyro (From Ground Floor): Shut up, Sparky!!]

*Gabby just strolled up to their floor with X-23 quickly turning to her*

X-23: How long have they've been fighting?
Gabby: Uhm...the whole time.
Heat: Okay, this has gone long-
[Gyro (From Below): Oh try it!!]

*Heat intensely glared down at them from above*

Heat: Enough!!!

*Gyro and Squirrel Girl instantly looked up in astonishment at Heat. The two were completely still under her piercing eyes, only able to stare into her deadly glare*

Heat: Will you two quit it already!!!

*The two then looked at each other then instantly looked away, sporting scowling faces. Heat pushed herself off from the staircase railing, confidently putting her hands on her hips*

Sparky: I give it five seconds...

*A blue energy beam suddenly blared up to the ceiling. The beam launched a squirrel up onto their floor, as it floated in the air before hitting the ground, back first. It flipped over, scurrying and squealing all the way down the stairwell. Gyro's screams echoed throughout the stairwell, causing the five to rush down the stairs*

Gyro: Augh!!!

*Gyro was seen being swarmed by squirrels with her trying to desperately swat them off. Blue energy beams wildly shot out from Gyro's hands and mouth while Squirrel Girl chuckled at her frantic behavior*

Squirrel Girl: Who's tough now?
X-23: Squirrel Girl! Stop!

*Heat immediately bolted to Gyro while X-23 jumped over the railing to Squirrel Girl*

X-23: Get them off her!

*Squirrel Girl swiftly whistled, causing the squirrels to quickly jump off of Gyro. Heat gently pushed Gyro back toward the entrance while Gyro glared furiously at Squirrel Girl, violently grinding her teeth and furrowing her eyebrows. A blue mist was emitting through her mouth with her eyes enveloped in a dark blue tint. Heat eyes grew wide with shock once realizing Gyro's glowing blue eyes shined intensely on her shirt*

Heat: Gyro! Just calm down!

*Sparky and Arctic dash down to the ground floor, only to freeze in shock upon witnessing Gyro's state. Arctic cautiously stepped toward Gyro while Sparky suddenly turned toward X-23*

Sparky: X-23! You need to get Squirrel Girl away from Gyro!
Squirrel Girl: Oh, I'm not afraid of a little energy blast.

*Gyro abruptly stopped, preventing Heat from moving her further back. Heat frantically glances from Squirrel Girl then to Gyro until she heard Gyro's low guttural growl softly echoing through the room. Heat focused her attention on Gyro, waving her hands across her eyes. Gyro only continued to glare at Squirrel Girl, completely unphased by Heat's wave*

Heat: It's over okay, we won't let her attack you again.

*Arctic quickly blocked Gyro's view of Squirrel girl, gently putting his hand on her shoulder. Gyro felt his cold hand causing her to slowly turn to him. The two could then back Gyro out of the building with her powers now dissipating. Sparky blew a sigh of relief, giving a soft nervous chuckle while watching them leave*

Arctic: Hey, let's just walk away and be the better person, right? We can kick her ass some other day.

*Sparky carefully observed Gyro, from within the building, while Arctic and Heat were still calming her down. His gaze then goes to Squirrel Girl, making faces from the front entrance. His eyes grew wide, body tenses up and breath stops with a face completely stricken with fear. He marches directly to her, almost out of breath*

Sparky: Are you insane!?

*X-23 then yanked Squirrel Girl away from the entrance door*

Sparky: She's going to go supernova on your ass.
X-23: Supernova?
Squirrel Girl: So, she's going to be a stronger version of Captain Marvel or something? I'm not afraid of her lame scare tactics-
Sparky: Captain who? Ugh- look, let me give you a crash course on Gyro. She can shoot solid beams and plasma beams and when she gets mad her fricken eyes start glowing and her power doubles- and she can form the energy she uses into like bullets and explosions and- it's just really bad for everyone okay.
Squirrel Girl: Thanks for the exposition Sparks but don't worry. I'm unbeatable.

*Sparky gave a hardy halfhearted chuckle while rolling his eyes*

Sparky: Sure...look uh it's been very nice seeing you both. We'll be in the area for a while so don't be a stranger X-23...unless Squirrel Girl is with you.

*Sparky quickly left, leaving Squirrel Girl to scoff and folded her arms while turning to X-23*

Squirrel Girl: What a bunch of jerks.


{End of Scene#2}


*Sparky caught up to the rest of the group, seeing Gyro back to her normal state. She led the group, marching up the bustling sidewalk*

Gyro: F*ck! These superheroes are complete fu**ing losers! She's all like "I'm unbeatable" whatever you ego tripping b**ch!

*Sparky lightly chuckled as Heat put her arm around her shoulder and leaned closer to Gyro*

Sparky: X-23, seems pretty cool.
Heat: Yeah, that was just one nutty hero and besides...you got us.

*Gyro playfully smirked, raising a single eyebrow to Heat*

Gyro: Oh yeah, really lucked out with you guys.

*Heat playfully nudged Gyro and snickered with the two chuckling along with each other*

Heat: Jerk ass.

*Crash*

*Spider-Man (Miles Morales) [Or The New Over-Powered Spider-Man] crashed out of a window from a nearby convenience store, bouncing onto the street. Heat and Gyro hurriedly rushed to him while Sparky and Arctic looked back at the broken window. Arctic made a quick glance back to Miles, seeing Gyro and Heat tend to him. He then goes up with Sparky to the broken window, quickly spotting green saliva all over the inside of the wrecked store. The scanned around the toppled over isles, half destroyed counter and dented wall but found no being to match it's destruction*

Sparky: So what kicked him out the window?

*Arctic and Sparky cautiously ventured inside, slowly scanning around the store. As they continued to wander further in, above them was the Lizard [AKA Mr. Hyde's pet iguana] hanging on the ceiling above, observing their movements. Sparky sniffed around himself, catching an unfamiliar scent*

Arctic: Yeah, I don't see anyone.
Sparky: Hey, do you smell something?

*Heat and Gyro helped Miles get back onto his feet. He gives them a thankful nod then looks back to the store, searching around for someone*

Miles Morales: Where is it?

*Heat glances to Gyro who gives her a shrug. She looks towards the store then back to Miles, giving him a concerned look*

Heat: What are you talking about Hun?
Miles Morales: There was a big lizard that-...

*Sparky and Arctic looked over to Gyro and Heat out from the broken window. The two saw their wide eyes and open jaws with Arctic glancing over to Sparky. Sparky and Arctic then heard a loud quaking thud behind them. The quake caused the two to stammer for a brief second, with Sparky appearing completely shocked*

*THUD*

Arctic: Uh...did you drop your phone?
Sparky: No...but...don't worry Arctic because we will turn around and have a meaningful...but mostly peaceful conversation with this...

*Sparky and Arctic turned around to see the Lizard standing right in front of them. It towered over them by a few feet, with it hunching right over to them. The Lizard intensely glared at them, leaning closer to them as they slowly stepped back*

Sparky: Giant...lizard...person...
Arctic: Okay, so why is he looking at us like we were the ones who flushed him down the toilet?

*Miles launched himself feet first into the Lizard's face. The force of the blow caused the Lizard to slam into the wall, leaving a huge and heavily cracked indent. Arctic sprinted up to the Lizard, shooting out a heavy cold mist of snow from his hands. The mist froze the Lizard's body in place while Sparky was hunched over in one of the nearby isles, peeking in on the action. Miles proudly watched Arctic freeze the Lizard until it was unable to move*

Miles Morales: Amazing! That's a cool power you got there.

*Arctic nonchalantly nodded to him, confidently folding his arms and turning back to Miles. Sparky hastily went beside Arctic then confidently posed with Arctic*

Arctic: Cool pun.
Sparky: So...now what?
Miles Morales: Who are you guys?

*Sparky glanced to Miles and then to Gyro and Heat who were outside talking to another hero*

Heat: Miss. Marvel, right? Like the name.

*Heat shook Miss. Marvel's hand (AKA Kamala Khan) [Super Hero, Super Stretchy, Super Nerdy] while Gyro folded her arms and smiled to Kamala*

Miss. Marvel: You got it right!

*Heat stopped shaking her hand while Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, [If a propaganda poster could be a person] was flying above them*

Gyro: Whoa!
Heat: Who is that?

*Gyro gave a long sigh while glancing over to Kamala. She saw Kamala completely starry eyed and awestruck face then scoffs at her*

Gyro: Keep it together, Marvel. The big shots are never that impressive.
Miss. Marvel: But it's Captain Marvel, she's my inspiration!
Gyro: Well, did you want to meet your inspiration?
Miss. Marvel: Uhm...

*Arctic just refroze Lizard then scratched the top part of his helmet*

Arctic: So you're a Spider-Man based off another Spider-Man named Spider-Man?
Miles Morales: Uh, sort of.
Sparky: So, what are you and that girl doing here, anyway?
[Gyro (From Outside): Hey lady!!! Yeah...down here!!!]

*They looked over to see Carol floating down then talking with Heat and Gyro*

Sparky: Wow, they're making friends faster than we are.
Arctic: There are a lot of heroes in the city. Is there a convention happening nearby or something?
Miles Morales: It's New York, all the heroes usually stop by a few times in the week.
Arctic: Oh uh well, let's go mingle.

*Crack*

*They all quickly looked back to see the Lizard busting out of the ice*

Arctic: And we even have a subject we all can connect on.
Heat: So you run a spaceship?
Captain Marvel: It's quite impressive.
Miss. Marvel: I would love to be your cadet for a day.
Heat: I wouldn't mind that either.

*Gyro seemed unimpressed, gazing over to Sparky and Arctic getting thrown around the store. Her gazes becomes wide and expression panicked. She nudges Heat, pointing to Lizard slashing his claws toward Arctic*

Gyro: Heat!! Come on!!!

*Gyro raced toward the store, readying a blue energy ball in her hand. Miss and Captain Marvel still in mid conversation glance to Gyro, at first catching a glimpse of the chaos in the store. Heat bolted up with Gyro, flames bursting from her hands and eyes targeting Lizard who is about to strike again*

*Arctic and Sparky both jumped back over the counter, nearly evading a slash from the Lizard. It then looked down at Miles, who was squirming under his foot. Before it could raise his claws toward Miles, a powerful blue beam and fire ball blasted Lizard onto the wall. The wall dented around Lizard with it slinking down, hurt and dazed by the attack. Arctic jumped over the counter with Gyro and Heat, standing ready to the Lizard who was struggling to get up*

Arctic: It's getting up again!
Gyro: One more little love tap should-
Heat: Whoa!

*They all instinctively duck as a beam shot over their heads and slams into Lizard. Miss Marvel and Miles went around them while Lizard was being pinned by Captain Marvel's beams*

Miss Marvel: We got it from here Captain!

*Miss Marvel then grew her hand and pinned down Lizard while Miles spewed webs at him. Arctic looked over to Heat, then Gyro with them both shrugging. Soon Lizard was completely webbed up, unable to move with it, trying to squirm out the webs. Miss Marvel gave it a giant size right hook, knocking it out. Sparky peeked up from the counter then got out and went to Arctic*

Sparky: I am not sure if it's me but...does this seem a little excessive?
Arctic: Just a little.
Captain Marvel: Out here everyone!

*They all looked and turned to Captain Marvel, who was outside of the store while on the phone. They go to her, back on the sidewalk with Arctic gazing back to the knocked out Lizard then to Captain Marvel who just got off the phone*

Arctic: So, uh...who wanted to keep him?
Captain Marvel: I'll take him off your hands and bring him to the Raft.
Heat: Oh-oh kay?

*Heat was carefully watching Lizard when Gyro pulled her back to the rest of her group, who were all huddled in a tight circle*

Gyro: Okay, this city is filled with super-powered people and we want to go home; this is just too much.
Sparky: At least before more lizards start popping out the sewers.
Arctic: Or maybe a certain superhero with a bug up their ass...not you Spider-Man.

*Arctic peeked over Gyro's shoulder to see Miles Morales. Miles was still talking to Miss Marvel from afar, completely unaware about their conversation*

Arctic: Oh, I thought he had super hearing.
Heat: Wait, who were you talking about?
Sparky: It's some guy named...oh no.

*Sparky quickly looked up, seeing Iron Man just flying above them. Iron Man dropped down to Miss. Marvel and Miles while Arctic gave a long sigh and slowly shook his head*

Arctic: Phoenix Pact, meet Iron Man.

*Iron Man [Rich ass, Smart ass, Jackass...according to Arctic] stared over to Arctic then started to walk over to him. As Sparky glanced between Iron Man and Arctic, he slowly steps to Gyro and Heat*

Sparky: Gyro, Heat...ladies, if you will...let's leave.
Iron Man: Ah well, it isn't my old friend...what was it? Iceberg? Avalanche?
Arctic: Arctic.
Iron Man: Ah yes, Arctic and I see you brought your super friends, good to meet them.

*Heat and Gyro both slowly looked at each other with a profoundly dumbfounded stare. Gyro loudly scoffs, viciously glaring at Iron Man while stepping up to him*

Gyro: I'm sorry, who are you!? And why are you talking to my best friend that way!?
Iron Man: Iron Man and sorry about that attitude but your "best friend" left a bad impression on me after telling me I wasn't a real hero and launching me nearly into space.

*Heat aggressively gripped her arms, angrily scoffing at Iron Man*

Heat: Well, maybe you're not a real hero.

*Before he was about to respond, Captain Marvel touched Iron Man's shoulder with him swiftly looking back at her*

Captain Marvel: Look, go easy on them, Tony. They just helped me take down a super-powered Lizard. Just give them a little slack for now.
Iron Man: Some slack!?

*Iron Man reluctantly sighed then looked over to Heat*

Iron Man: All right, let's start over...my name is Iron Man-
Heat: I'm sorry but I think it'd be best to start over another day, let's go guys.

*Heat led the four away with Gyro glancing over to Heat. Iron Man slowly shook his head, putting his hands on his hips and waving goodbye to their exit*

Iron Man: Yeah, sure...next time! I can't wait!


{End of Scene#3}


*Two Hours Later*
*Back at the Phoenix Pact's House*

*Heat marched into the house, with the others following behind her. She annoyed-ly scoffed while Gyro groaned, firmly crossing her arms*

Heat: We need to hurry up on that ticket out of here!
Gyro: I'm with you on that, first that squirrel lady and now some...metal loser and the rest of them haven't even taken their SATs yet.

*Sparky closed the door behind himself, nodding to himself then looked to Heat*

Sparky: Just like the old Heroes Guild, taking the young and impressionable. The more we get to know of this world, the more I miss our old world.
Heat: Captain Marvel, I think she can help us out on that...she can get in contact with Strange and he'll teleport us back.
Arctic: So get good in with the space lady and we get to leave?
Heat: Exactly.
Arctic: Well, I did buy some cake mix earlier. We might as well start using it so we can kiss her ass as soon as tomorrow.

*Heat and Arctic walked towards the kitchen while Sparky went toward his room. Sparky was about to close his door when Gyro put her hand on it. He opens the door and backs up a step with Gyro quickly contemplating a thought*

Gyro: So, Sparks?

*She leans her shoulder on the doorway*

Sparky: Yeah?
Gyro: You don't...uhm-

*Gyro glances back down the hallway then back to Sparky*

Gyro: So, these Avengers or whatever it's called...you don't think it's going to be like the Heroes Guild...right?

*Sparky sat in his chair, pondering her question before shrugging*

Sparky: Well you know me, expect the worse and plan for that...so it's possible. I don't know if it will go down as it did with the Heroes Guild with all the robots and...you know. Though I'm not sure they have enough members that would rebel and fight against something like that.
Gyro: We're Kronises...or whatever label they'll hit us with in this world...because of our powers they're going to want to pull us into their own problems. I bet you they'll dangle the portal in our face as a ploy, even if we kiss their asses.
Sparky: I...I really hope not.
Gyro: I mean...

*Gyro leaned the rest of her back onto the door frame*

Gyro: Those kids were kinda...pretty cool and what if an order comes down for them to kill us or...someone...
Sparky: We go into hiding... as we did before...
Gyro: We don't know this area, we'd be running blind...let alone one of us end up like Mary.

*Sparky glanced away from her then shook his head*

Sparky: You probably shouldn't say that around Arctic, but yeah...look we're not going to be joining them any time soon...and if anything happens, we'll figure it out.

*Gyro nodded*

Gyro: Well, thanks for listening to my ramble.
Sparky: No, I'm glad we had this talk; it's good to know that I wasn't the only one connecting those dots together.


{End of Scene#4}


[Heat: Okay, Arctic, can I ask you something?]

*Arctic looked back to Heat as he was retrieving sprinkles from a high cupboard. Heat leaned on the fridge beside him, awaiting Arctic's response*

Arctic: Of course.
Heat: I...had talked to Gyro about this before but...I wanted to ask you...what if we're all that's left.
Arctic: Hard for me to believe that. I mean, if we got teleported, there's got to be others who got teleported too, right?
Heat: I get what you're saying but...

*Arctic watched Heat, who was trying to find words through her unsure expression*

Heat: I've been trying to remember what happened...and though I can't prove anything, I remember feeling the world was about to end. I remember feeling panic and dread...even a voice too...maybe many of them...did you remember anything?

*Arctic pondered for a moment then looked up to her, shaking his head*

Arctic: Still nothing other than the light...though it raises questions of how did we get teleported in the first place?
Heat: Do you think someone did this?
Arctic: Maybe...either way Dr. Strange is our key to getting back home. So we can figure out everything else from there once we meet him.

*Heat went over to the oven to open it and smiled when she looked inside*

Heat: Well so far it's looking good, but I think it may need more-


{End of Scene#5}


[Smoke Screen: You hear that world, I'm done!]

*Smoke Screen was in an alleyway, raising a large zip-lock bag filled with weed. A drug dealer with a pistol rushed down into the alley. He backed away in shock while the drug dealer stepped closer and closer to him with his pistol drawn. He raised his hands in the air and stopped moving with the drug dealer now nearly a yard away*

Drug Dealer: You piece of sh*t, you stole my g*d damn fu**ing bag.
Smoke Screen: Stole? You merely dropped it and I had collected what I needed.
Drug Dealer: Well, if you don't give me that bag you're about to collect your brain from the floor.
Smoke Screen: Well...wait how will I do that if I'm dead?
Drug Dealer: What!? Sh*t are you stupid or- it's rather you give me more drugs or I kill-

*An orb of smoke suddenly hits the drug dealer in the face. The drug dealer choked on the gas emitting from the orb, dropping the gun in the confusion. Smoke Screen then appeared behind him, rising above him with a led pipe. With a powerful swing, he hits the drug dealer's head, knocking him out. The smoke around Smoke Screen dissipated while Smoke Screen drops the led pipe in the realization of his situation*

Smoke Screen: Oh, sh*t...this is getting real...uh...

*Smoke Screen grabbed weed from the bag, sprinkling it on the drug dealer. He grabs the dealer's gun from his body and awkwardly points it into the air. He shots it into the air with the sudden sound of the gunfire, scarring him. The shock of the fire causes him to drop the pistol on the man and hastily leave. In his reckless rush out the alleyway, he trips over a nearby trash bin then stumbles onto a curb, nearly tripping over his cape*


*White Space*

*The Teddy bear, the man in the metallic hazmat suit and the person cloaked in rags were in the white void from before. The three sat in individual single folding chairs, observing Smoke Screen running away on a large wide screen TV*

Teddy Bear: What an idiot. Say, how come no one has died yet!? Cause this is getting boring!
Person Cloaked in Rags (Distorted Voice): Speaking of unquenchable need of violence...they have come here to watch us.
Man in Metallic Hazmat Suit: Here now? I wonder how much they have truly pieced together our true intentions?
Person Cloaked in Rags (Distorted Voice): Do they care for meaning? Or do they care for blood and drama...they want stakes...they want death and theatrics...we'll give them that...
Teddy Bear: Now we're talking!
Man in Metallic Hazmat Suit: And soon our plan will come to pass, we've been planning a long time for this.
Person Cloaked in Rags (Distorted Voice): Indeed, he is done setting down all the pieces and now we get to unfold the final phase of our plan.
Man in Metallic Hazmat Suit: Us lowly ponds taking down a King, how poetic.
Teddy Bear: Wouldn't be the first time.

*They then peered over at the TV, seeing themselves on it*

Teddy Bear: And cut!
