Cain Blaze the Shadow Rider was miserable, why, he failed, as a leader, a friend, a father, and a husband, many of his teammates and friends didn't want to see him, his best friend Peter Parker blamed him for letting him make the deal with Mephisto...
As Cain and Petra walked hand in hand back to the main apartment, "do you have to go already?" asked Petra.
"I don't want to, but I better see what Kang wants, but I promise, I'll be back to you as soon as I can, for now, can you and Wanda please try not to kill each other to decide who's the top girl in the family again?" asked Cain.
"Hey, I've got to maintain my place," said Petra.
"I love you all, isn't that enough?" asked Cain.
"We love you as well beloved, but women even ones who are close like me and Wanda can get competitive, especially for a hot guys attention," said Petra.
"As long as you remember we're still a family," said Cain.
"Of course," said Petra.
A portal of shadows opened beneath Cain and with one last kiss to Petra he sank in, Petra walked back into the apartment.
"How'd it go?" asked Peter.
"Time to decide who the queen is Wanda," said Petra staring at her former love rival.
"Oh I have been waiting for this Parker," said Wanda.
The Spider and the Witch disappeared to another room, "what just happened?" asked Sonya.
"Well I do believe Petra and Wanda will be fighting over who the top girl of this little harem will be," said Storm.
"I'm surprised you're not taking part Storm, you are after all a goddess," said Illyana.
"From what I know this is less a contest of any skill or power and more about dominance," said Storm.

Cain summoned flowers and set them in front of a grave, "Roxanne Simpson Blaze, beloved wife, mother, friend," Cain read out.
"Mom," Cain said as he set the flowers down.
"Am I good enough, or are Johnny and Craig right, do I just burn everything I touch? Maybe things would have been better if you hadn't brought me into this world, or if Mephisto had killed me instead of you," Cain said crying in front of his mothers grave.
"How sad, talking to an empty grave," a voice said as Cain turned towards Kang.
"What do you mean?" Cain asked.
"Later Rider, first I come bearing gifts," said Kang as he held up a hand and in Cains hands appeared two boxes one was white wrapped in a gold ribbon, the other black wrapped in a red ribbon.
"Loot boxes?" asked Cain.
"A blessed and a cursed loot box to be exact, one will give you an item of great power, that can save lives, the other will give you a similar item, but it will alert anyone who wants it that you have it, the one you don't choose, I will give to someone of your choice," said Kang.
