Info: Vincent Cartwright was a reporter, known for his strong distain on war and weapons. He worked for a newspaper that was reporting on a new form of technology designed to make human weapons. Vincent was not particularly thrilled about the idea of making soldiers into human weapons. This was due to the fact he was aware of the effects war had on people, how it drove some crazy or unstable or even to the brink of madness. As for the testing itself it apparently had not been doing well. The human testing resulted in death or madness. Staying behind to observe the machine, Vincent began finishing his notes when he heard a switch being pulled and before he knew it he was blasted out the window by the machine. He screamed as his body experienced energy that boiled his blood and burned his skin. He hit the roof of the other building, but was alive.

As Ice got up from her bed she looked at the now sleeping fox. Last night was a great form of stress relief for Ice, considering the events that had transpired over the last few days. She had been framed for a crime she didn’t commit, forced to team up with an all knowing nerd and a guy who has a thing for Edgar Allen poi, thrashed around a bank by a huge dumb jackass and his bouncing friend, and chased down by cops. As she picked up her cloths and started to get dressed, she smiled as she pulled up her underwear and stretched. As she was about to put on cloths the door opened and someone walked in.
“Holy Crap!” Said the masked man as he stepped in opened the door.
“GET THE HELL OUT!!” Ice screamed as he closed the door at great speed.
As she turned around she saw that Fox was sitting up looking at her and smiling. Not saying a word to each other, Ice continued getting dressed. Then as the final article of clothing was put on the silence was broken by Fox.
“So last night was fun” Fox said as she smiled from under the sheets.
“Yeah. It was.” Ice said as coldly as her name would suggest while still trying to sound sincere.
“So shall we see what the hell the wakeup call was about?” Fox said as she got up and began getting dressed.
As Fox finished getting dressed both Ice and Fox walked out of the room into what seemed like an entirely different building. The lights were bright for the first time since Ice had arrived and there were some new faces or masks in the room. The masked man, who had barged into her room earlier, was having a discussion with another man in a mask with big red eyes. As she stepped out into the now bright room she saw Tech, Jerry and a guy who looked like he was from the desert. Ice walked over towards Tech to discover what the hell was going on here.
“Hey dumbass! I wanna talk to you†Ice said to Tech in a failed attempt to get his attention.
“Have a good night’s rest Ice?†Tech said without even looking Ices way.
“I thought we were going after that psychopath who cut up those women! Why do we need reinforcements?â€Ice said frustrated at the genius hero
“There is more to this Ice. We aren’t exactly fighting just one guy.†Tech said still refusing to look at her.
“What do you mean?†Ice said, Tech finally catching her attention.
“There is someone who is helping this man. That person is someone powerful and someone dangerous. I wanted some back up in case things get difficult.†Tech said not changing the emotionless tone of his voice.
“And as a result Tech summoned us†The desert punk said, his mask making it difficult to understand him.
“So who are all these guys?†Ice said looking at all the masked men in the room.
“Oh Yes. Because introductions are the most important thing to do at this very moment!†Tech said sarcastically with agitation in his voice.
“I think you need sleep brother†The desert punk said.
“Brother?†Jerry said in confusion looking at Tech and “Lawrence of Arabiaâ€
“We are all brothers here Jeremy†He said as he looked at Jerry.
“I can’t sleep! There’s too much work to be done†Tech said as he looked at the masked man.
“It s not debatable†The masked man said as he gripped Techs neck and Tech fell unconscious.
Tech dropped on the table and seemed to be asleep. Thinking about it, Ice didn’t see Tech sleep or even eat since she was introduced to him. Tech was a lot of things, but he was still human and could only take so much.
“Alpha and Omega, take Tech to a bed†The masked man ordered two other men.
“For God’s Sake!†The one in white said to him, as the smaller one looked at Ice.
“Hi! I’m Alpha. This big lug is Omega†he said presenting his hand in a sign of friendship.
“She doesn’t care!†Omega said to his brother.
“I’m Ice. What kind of names are Alpha and Omega?†She said with an air of suspicion.
“I suppose the name Ice is to correspond with you warm and welcoming bitchy attitude†Omega said flinging Tech over his shoulder.
“No it’s because I can freeze you to the ground. The attitude is just a nice touch†Ice said in a confident yet aggressive tone making it clear she was ready to take him on one to one.
“You don’t scare me little girl!†Omega said smiling in a condescending manner.
“The feeling is mutual, you pompous tool†Ice said returning his smileAlpha blushed as he felt embarrassed for his brother’s actions. Ice didn’t seem like such a bad person, plus she was really pretty. Taking a deep breath he decided he would interact with her again.
“Um Ice?†He said to her
“Ya what is it Alpha?†She said turning to him.
“Sorry about Omegas actions. He’s kinda headstrong and over confident in his abilities, so since he won’t do it I thought I would.†Alpha said feeling a little nervous about talking to her.
“It’s fine. I’m used to people like him. But unlike all the other ones he stood his ground. That I respect.†Ice said looking around the room.
“So I guess you’re kind of curious about these guys huh?†Alpha said to her.
“No I’m checking out the “talent†here†she said sarcastically.
“Good one†Alpha said.
“Well the guy over there…†he said as he pointed towards the man in the gas mask and cloak.
“He’s the Marauder. He is a mysterious guy, seems to be colder than Tech but apparently the two have known each other longer than anyone else here. And the guy with the big Red eyes calls himself Fly Man. He’s a skilled infiltrator and likes to it when things get unpredictable.†Alpha said now holding Ices full attention.
“He sounds like he could be a liability to us†she said looking at him.
“He won’t be. He is as professional as the rest of us.†Alpha said trying to calm her.
“Then there’s you and your brother, who is that guy?†She asked as she looked at the guy who walked in on her getting changed.
“That’s Electro man a real good guy. Kind of a dope at times though.†Alpha said.
“He almost saw me naked this morning†Ice said as if it was nothing at all.
“Everyone gather around at once!†The Marauder ordered to every hero in the room.As she walked close to the table Ice thought about Alphas words. They were all professionals. She was just a writer for some crummy magazine that got powers. She wasn’t use to fighting crooks with super powers. The odd murderer, yeah she was set for. But she mostly fought crooks with nothing but guns or knives. She never saw herself as a professional. Did she even belong here with these guys?
“There are massive attacks in the city centre and on Capitol Hill, seems like they have powers. Omega, Ice, Electro man and Fly Man, you guys go sort this out. Alpha, Raven, and Fox you guys deal with the capitol hill crowd.†The marauder ordered as he looked at the computer screen.
“Understand?†he barked
“Yeah we understand!†Omega said talking for his team
Ice walked with her group up to the service and got on her bike. She looked at her team and wondered how they would get there. Electro man floated up to the telephone wires and in a flash disappeared. Fly man leapt up on top of a building, to Ices shock, as if it was nothing. Then with shot a grappling hook at a taller building and swung out of sight.
“He thinks he’s batman†Omega said to Ice as she put on her helmet.
“How are you gonna get there Smart guy?†Ice said to the cocky hero
“I’m going to run sweetheart†He said stretching his calves as if to show off
“Really!†Ice scoffed at him
“I’m not faster than a speeding bullet but I do alright†Omega said as he flashed down the road
Ice felt fear. If these bad guys were stronger than Canon and Ricoshay could she survive?

- As I woke up from another restless sleep, I couldn’t help shake the feeling that I was in danger. This feeling wasn’t new to me. I had been in danger all my life. Hiding my identity from the world and my loved ones wasn’t easy, but I couldn’t put them in danger could I? The nightmares were getting worse. Usually I would be waking up expecting one of the old criminals to come in, escaped from Cyro Prison and try to take advantage of my current state. As Stretch I could expand my body to limitless lengths and return to normal size. But when we all went underground, that was the end of my Stretching days. I reminded myself every morning of this fact in case I ever forgot that I am not a super hero anymore. I got out of bed slowly and watched the people below go by. I slowly got dressed and went to make something to eat. I thought about the other night and how crazy it was to see Nightmare again. I ate my breakfast slowly, while listening to the radio play in the background. It was true I no longer had any loved ones left in my life to protect, but I had a life. It was by no means perfect, but it was a normal life and that’s what I wanted. Scott Lawrence Rosenberg’s life was as dull as everyone else’s. A long time ago it would have been considered boring to live my life like this. I was a professor of chemistry, not a super-hero. That was a past life, long ago.
As I stepped into the High-School I wondered how the laws of the world had changed within the last ten years. First the heroes left, then the army took over, then the police force let the power go to their head and this resulted in a police state. I’m sure that I could have done something if I had tried. But then again what was the point? Would it have made a difference? Could one man change anything? I constantly plagued myself with these questions. I lifted the morning paper to read what the headlines were. I nearly spat the coffee in my mouth out in shock as I read the headline:
“Heroes Return”
It depicted how that there have been sighting of vigilantes in the last two days. Vigilantes that seemed to resemble the Nightmare and the Red Queen were seen saving some children from a burning building. As I read the report I thought about the old days. Being a hero wasn’t easy but we had a good system. Every time a villain committed crimes too serious to just be considered crazy or to be put to death, they were put in cryogenic suspension. To this day many of the villains we put away are still frozen and hopefully it will stay that way. I stopped reading my paper as my students slowly came into class, talking amongst themselves about who is dating who, who made the team, who lost weight, all the typical teenage crap. I sighed and started the lecture.I was overcome with the smell of coffee as I stepped into the staff room. Most of the teachers were sitting down either eating or talking about whatever the day’s topic was. Sometimes it was the students and other times what was happening in their own lives. I found that the topic of the day was the Vigilantes return and how they made the authorities look like idiots. This description brought a smile to my face as for a split second I thought of what would it be like to go back to being a hero. That moment quickly passed as Ms. Simmons, the school principle, came over to me. Ms. Simmons and I had been close for some years before my accident and as of late have rekindled our old acquaintance. She was an attractive woman for her age but did not allow her body to hold any authority when it came to her cold, serous and strong willed image.
“Mr. Rosenberg. I wanted to ask you something. Do you have any free time this evening to have a discussion with me?” She said as I felt like there was a fist in my throat.
“Um. Yes Ms. Simmons I do have some free time. May I ask what this initials?” I tried to hold back my nervous feelings as I talked.
“Good. I’d like to see you in my office after school if that suits you fine.” She said without any hesitation in her voice. This could mean anything from your fired to we found a better teacher.
“That is fine” I said as she slowly walked away leaving me with a look of confusion and fear on my face.I waited outside the office of my employer as she stepped out with a suitcase. She had her hair down which was a seldom act for her. She preferred to look as professional as possible when she was working but was a little too casual when it came to her life outside school.
“Are you free Friday night Lawrence?” Melinda said in a more cheerful voice.
“I prefer Scott you know that Mel” I said looking at my boss and friend.
“And yes I am. Why?” I said feeling my stomach twist in ways id never be able to do with my powers.
Blushing she said “I’ve been thinking. Would you have dinner with me?”
“Like a date?” I said sounding like one of my students.
“Kinda” she said smiling at me.
“I’d love to. How’s Lorenzo’s sound?” I said becoming more confident in my appearance.
“Amazing. Pick me up at nine. You know where I live don’t you?” she said as I nodded to agree with her.
With that said we went our separate ways and I felt like I could do anything in the world.On the drive home I thought of how it seemed like everything in my world was going right. There was nothing that could go wrong today that would ruin it for me. I pulled up to my apartment complex and saw that none was at the front desk. I didn’t pass much thought about it and just walked to the elevator to my room. There was a cold wind in the air. It made my skin stiffen, the only down side to having a body that’s able to expand like plastic is you stiffen up around winter. Smiling I stepped out of the elevator and into the hallway. Somehow it had gotten colder as I got closer to my room. When I opened the door it was as if the skin on my back was as thick as bark. I looked around and heard movement in the room. Someone was here in the room. I stretched my eyes out of my head and searched around the room. All of a sudden one of my eyes was stepped on by a big foot. I screamed in agony as I felt the pain surge through my body. Had my body not been elastic one of my eyes might have been punctured liked a water balloon.
“Well looky here what I found.” A voice said from the other room
A huge man with a tank on his back walked towards me from the room where he must have stepped on my eye. I screamed further as my eye retracted into my skull.
“So you’re Mr. Stretch. Gotta say it’s an honour to be killing ya. See I’m ya number one fan.” He said as sprayed me with the tanks contents.
My body was overcome with cold and became as stiff as wood. He punched me across the room and laughed as I hit the ground. I couldn’t move. This was perhaps the most terrifying moment of my lift. Taking the tank off, he stepped closer to me and wrapped his hands around my neck.
“I’m going to snap ya like a toothpick” He said in a deadpan sort of way.
As I felt his grip tighten I suddenly felt a warm sensation run up my body. His body was giving off heat, minor heat but enough for me to move. I lifted my hand and threw a punch. It didn’t do much to him but it did give me just enough room to let me knock him to the ground with a swift kick in the jewels. I found that he was using a liquid nitrogen spray to freeze the room. I quickly threw it out the window as he recuperated and got to his feet. He got up and charged towards me once again. He threw me down the hall with great force. Despite his intimidating stature he wasn’t very strong or smart and as a result only managed to land me two doors down. This was his biggest mistake, and my advantage. As I landed down the hall my body began to warm up. It was nowhere near as cold here as it was in my apartment. I stretched my arms out and punched him across the face. He didn’t know what hit him, until it hit him again and again.
“Well here since you’re my biggest fan. Let’s see if u knows what I’m going to do now.” Spinning him around in a circle I threw him at the wall.
I stretched my arms over to him and begin to wrap him around in my arms. I squeezed his body tighter and tighter as my fists punched him repeatedly across his face. Then with all my strength I catapulted him into one of my neighbour’s rooms. As I walked over to him he began to laugh as his mouth began foaming. He had poisoned himself. What made this much more troubling was that not only did he know who I was, but Nightmare was right. Unlocking my safe I took out my suit and went to meet my former comrades.
