25 parts Complete MatureIt had been exactly one year since the Guardians of the Multiverse dismantled the Red Room and toppled Dreykov's empire. The team had worked tirelessly to rebuild and recover from the chaos, with each member finding their own way to heal. Artem had proven himself to the group and begun a new chapter in his life, while Natalia, Kate, and Yelena focused on strengthening their familial bonds. Avery, still leading the team, kept a vigilant eye on potential threats, ensuring that nothing like the Red Room would ever rise again. Peace, however, was fleeting for heroes, and the weight of their victories carried with it the knowledge that new dangers would always emerge.
One quiet evening, as the team enjoyed their rare downtime, an urgent signal cut through the calm. It wasn't from their usual network, nor was it directed at the Guardians as a whole. Instead, it was a private SOS, coded and sent directly to Marie Moreau, Kayonna's estranged sister from Godolkin University. Kayonna had gone missing, and this message was her desperate cry for help. But the fact that she reached out to Marie-a sister she hadn't spoken to in years-spoke volumes about her circumstances and her trust in her sibling.
Marie, shocked and unprepared for the weight of the message, immediately knew she couldn't ignore it. Though the sisters had grown apart due to their vastly different paths-Marie's life at Godolkin revolving around survival in a world of Supes, and Kayonna's dedicated to the Guardians-they still shared an unbreakable bond. The SOS forced Marie to make a choice: step into a world she'd long avoided or let her sister face danger alone. Without hesitation, she packed her things and began preparing to meet the Guardians, knowing that their alliance would be necessary to save Kayonna from whatever peril she faced.
