Outlawed (Marvel Comic Event)

-Mission Possible-

Things are going well, with the idiots of the New Warriors not even showing up or reporting back. They were very incompetent at the simple task of gathering teen heroes. The average CRADLE officer caught more teens than them.

I sigh deeply as I look over the paperwork. Things at Clayfield were going well. Most of the heroes will be soon allowed to return home when we work things out with their parents. Most families don't know that their children are heroes which makes our lives much easier. Clayfield was a saving grace for all these poor kids. I look through my papers and come across a check from Roxxon with a note. 'Thanks for taking care of those Champions. They ask too many questions with their insignificant time. The Avengers and company are way too worried about world ending events to check our company's background. Your act of caring for the teen was very convincing, convincing the government to fund you was great. Take this as a thank you.'

The check had so many zeros but it didn't help the message feel more thankful. Rage overtook me. I couldn't believe these corporate people think I did this for some money or something. I ripped the note and tossed it into the trash. I slam my fist on my desk. I quickly try to compose myself and it doesn't work. I am brimming with anger. "These corporate people, incompitant heroes and moody teenagers can it get any worse." I rub my forehead as my eyes drift back to the check. These people think I am some sort of problem solver to help them protect their money. I would go and bet them up but I am no hero, but I do know some heroes who would be the ultimate salt in the wound. An idea starts to form with both sides having things taken. I smile. Have the remaining Champions think that I want to help them with a mission and have them believe that I am helping them. Roxxon won't be expecting anyone to attack them or investigate. The Champions bust in and get the stuff to reveal Roxxon and get it back to me. I could take the evidence and credit CRADLE with its discovery. Have the Champions get captured and finally get the heavy hitter captured. Get more recognition. Everything will work out well and only I win. The idea was amazing and everything will work. With the Roxxon reveal it might be a perfect time to reveal myself and have a sympathetic story and such. Tomorrow I'll meet with the remaining Champions and give them their mission and send them off. Everything will fall into place.

-Next Day-

The sad trio of Champions walk right into the CRADLE HQ. A polite smile crosses my face as they walk past the empty lobby. I had everyone take a day off so I don't have to deal with their incompetence.

"Welcome to CRADLE HQ, Champions." I say walking towards them. "I am Terra Delgado, Director of CRADLE. Though you already know that."

"Yeah we know." Nova states floating next to his teammates. Ms. Marvel's sour expression made me feel better about the plan. They will at least have an amazing adventure before they forget each other. They will be fine.

"You must be thinking, 'Where are all the CRADLE agents?'. Well I gave them a day off so we could talk without interruptions. Now stop acting so tense, I will not be mind wipe you guys. Yet." It doesn't seem to ease them at all. Not my fault.

"So, what do you want with us, you gonna talk to us before we no longer remember anything. Yeah, real nice of you." Spider-man states his mask makes him unreadable but annoyance seeping through.

"Now, now. Don't be so rude. I actually have a mission for you with some benefits." I state handing papers to them. "I think you might know them. Since a lot of things have happened because of them."

"Roxxon. No offence but you are both for having teen-heroes captured and stuff. So why do you want us to do it?" Ms. Marvel remarks.

I can feel the anger building up. Why do they care for a reason ? They are heroes. They don't need context, they are just going to go and punch it. Might as well give them some sort of reason.

"They," I pause to try and get my thoughts together. "Think that I did this all to help them solve their problem with you all looking closely at their company. I didn't do this all for some stupid people. I did this to help people like you. I can't sit and watch like everyone else. I'm just trying to help. Now you of course know that. Does that answer your question?"

"I guess." Ms. Marvel says. "What do we have to get out of this?"

"It's simple. You go and dismantle Roxxon, reveal they are responsible for the Coles tragedy and then trust in teen heroes is restored. They might even repeal Kamala's Law. The joy, CRADLE is dismantled and I don't have a job. Your friends are freed and I'll restore their memories ect." I say, knowing full and well that was not true.

"So do we have a deal. You will be able to use whatever equipment and people you want from CRADLE. Anything you want we can give it to you. We are helping each other." I state with a small smile. "So do we have a deal."

So what do you all think. Was it good? We are getting into the final part. Thank goodness so there's gonna be the Roxxon heist and the aftermath of that and bam that's it.

I am super happy that this is going to be ending. I hope the plot make sense. It was a weird thing to start with you know being a really being out dating you know with the whole CRADLE thing. So I have no idea what else to write. Also future Aura here, I gave all the chapters names yay. See I'm bad with number so that will help. Also I wanted to see how the internet would react to the New New Warriors but it still hasn't come out yet and it is just making more worried about how bad it is.

So I guess bye. -Aura
