(Few Days Later: Anchorage, Alaska)

The remaining people of Gladius' community had left the town after the Kree-Lizard intrusion from Port Alcan for their own safety. All of them had been hiding from their enemies which they spent walking along the way. The Kree-Lizard hybrid turned around and became vigilant for any incoming threats along with Peter and Christopher. They crossed rivers and forests and went along the way in seeing the mountains. The combined winds of Pacific and Arctic had visited them from morning to afternoon. It took days for them to travel, however some of them had died of illness including the elderly. The community had buried them into the forest as the boy helped them.

Tired and sleepless, they reached the seafront city in the Last Frontier. Finally, there were several people of mixed races which they had seen. The skyscrapers remained standing as the streets were running and bustling along with the crowd. The Kree-Lizard boy reminded of the city like Los Angeles and San Francisco where he had been more than a year ago. Yet, he was wondering how come the destructive invaders never touched this place. He curiously turned around as his friends noticed him.

" Hey, Bud, " Spider-Man called his attention. " You look still again! Did those bad memories haunt you? "

" No..." he chuckled. " It's just I'm happy to see how normal this place is. Unlike to the other places, I had been. This seems to be very lively. "

" Oh, yeah. Same here, it reminded me of New York City before the Kree and the Lizard invaded here. "

" Yeah, Anchorage is just like Atlas in my country, " Christopher added and smiled. " I hope we can find a place to stay here. "

" Well, we are doing it right now, " Gladius nodded. " Anyway, I have some friends who can guide us here. "

" Sir, what about our enemies? " the other rebel asked. " Are we blending in with the civilians? "

" That's the only way we can find our enemies. We have to do undercover and be discrete, " the long haired mutant replied. Then, he turned to the tall hooded being and said. " Perhaps, you can return to your street beggar exploits as your undercover mission. "

" Right. "

They arrived at the Midtown district where the former people of the Alcan Community headed to a compound building where Gladius met some friends who were former SHIELD Agents from Remnant. Everyone got surprised to see their leader talking to another ally. A blonde man and his scarlet-haired wife were meeting him.

" Who are they? " the boy curiously asked.

" Agents Jaune and Pyrrha Arc, " Christopher replied. " They're our friends back in Vale City, Remnant. "

" Oh, those SHIELD Agents, " Peter snapped his fingers and recalled. " I saw them back in New York. They're a nice couple. In fact, they remind me of Uncle Ben and Aunt May. "

The rest of the surviving residents waited for their leader to let them in as the couple allowed them. Finally, they entered the building. Aqune turned to her husband and the other three gentlemen.

" Finally, we can have a civilian life once again, " she smiled.

" Yeah. Right now, we'll be discrete from our operation, but we'll continue our exploits underground. "

" You mean like a secret mission? "

" Yes. "

Moments later, they all headed into their own rooms as the hybrid boy took another room along with Peter and Christopher. They spent talking and resting for the entire day when a blonde Inhuman man appeared and visited them.
