9/24/1941, Cabinet War Rooms, New Public Offices
Namor had followed after them with curiosity, “So then, you’re a human and you are some form of extraterrestrial?” he had asked, looking at Sk’ym’x, James Doe, “Yes, I am called a Skrull.” he had said towards him, “And I assume that this is a disguise, like my people and our gill scarves.” he had said towards them, making the man nod at that, “Correct.” He had said to him in his mind.
Joseph had looked at them before he had went and started to go down, Joseph showing his credentials, his hand starting to roll a diamond in his hand that he didn’t have before as Namor had looked at everything, “This is a strange place.” he had said towards them as Joseph had went and looked towards the pair, “We’re going to be talking to Lord John Falsworth.” he had said.
“And this Lord, he will allow me to join the effort?” he had asked and hearing that, the pilot had sighed at that, “Lord Falsworth is in charge of the Invaders Program,” he had said, “Based off the old heroes that were in The Great War.” he had continued, making them both look at him, "Great… War?” Namor had asked with James going and scanning his mind now.
“Oh.” he had said towards him before looking to Namor, “It was a war, one that was before either of us were alive.” he had explained, “And I have to say, the closest thing my people have to it was when we met our oldest enemy.” he had said to them when They had entered an office and as they had done so, Joseph saluted to a few of them, “Sir!” he had said, “Officer Joseph Ledger with Skymax and a new asset.”
That had made Namor look towards James Doe, “Skymax?” he had asked him, “It’s the best way for the general populace to say my name.” he had said towards him with Namor thinking on that when they had seen a man go and escort a Navy Man out of his office, as he had done so, John Falsworth had noticed them, “So I take it that you’re the new asset he’s bringing in?” he asked.
That had made him nod at that, “Yes… Yes I am.” he had said towards him, making the man smile at that, “Then please, follow me.” he had said towards them, making the Prince and the Alien look towards them and so they had went and followed him into his office and as they had done as much, Namor could have sworn that he had seen the synthezoid friend he had made.

The Atlantean had sat on the chair and had looked at him with curiosity as the man had smiled, liking the sight, “So then, you’re an Atlantean?” he had asked with a smile towards him, making the Prince nod at that, “I am.” he had said towards him, taking his hat off and lowering his collar to reveal his hears as well as his gills towards him, making him lean forward now in curiosity.
“How are you able to survive out of water? Do you live in an air bubble down there? Are you going to dehydrate?” he had asked in curiosity towards him, making Namor give a look, “I am born different.” he had explained towards them and hearing that, the man had nodded at that, “Understood, would we be expecting more of your people joining the cause?” he had asked.
Hearing that, Namor had shaken his head at that, “No, we had been attacked by one of our own, and now we are recovering, I had been sent.” he had told them, keeping as few details as possible for them as they had looked at him in curiosity, “Would you be willing to assist us in the war effort?” he had asked and hearing that, he had recalled his grandfather’s response to that.
“As long as they are a threat to Atlantis, then I will be on your side.” he had said towards them, making them nod at that, “Very well then.” John had said towards them and hearing that, the man had stood up, “All right then, let’s go and get you all together.” he had said before they had all looked at each other before they had gotten up and had followed after him to the room where others were waiting.

As they entered, Namor saw that they were the Navy Man, a man in black that had a strange thing in his eyes, a green creature that members of The Tri–Team had told him of, and a woman in purple armor that had The Human Torch there as they had come in as John smiled at them, “Would you be so kind as to follow me?” he had asked with a smile, “We just need to go ahead and see what we’re going to have on our side.”
That had made the assembled group look at each other, Namor watching their reactions as they had heard this, “We just have to go ahead and wait at Dymhurst.” he had said and hearing that, Namor was more cautious as John motioned for them to follow now as he had walked to The Human Torch, it seemed all of them a bit cautious and wondering why they would need to show their abilities.
Namor was cautious as he had spoken to The Human Torch, “It is good to see you again.” he had said towards the Synthezoid who had smiled, it’s good to see you again as well.” he had said towards the The Atlantean, both of them glad to be working with the man on fire once more as he had wondered what it was that was going on and how they would be working together.

Namor had looked towards The Human Torch as they had driven through the village, “So then, this is Thomas Raymond.” he had said towards the young man who was there, apparently having been gifted the same ability as The Human Torch, “So you’re that Fish–Man that Jim always talks about, huh?” he had asked of Namor with curiosity towards him.
That had made the Atlantean look towards The Human Torch, “Jim?” he had asked of him, “I… I got myself a name.” he had said, Thomas going and pulling out a license and handing it to him, “My friend Phil got this for me, I… I didn’t want to just be a product.” he had said towards them and hearing that, Namor nodded, understanding that when the car had stopped now.
The Atlantean was surprised by the grandiose of the home, reminding him almost of Sandy’s when they had seen the stakes that were set up, that there were burned corpses that were being taken down now and it was making Namor remember a story, “Welcome to Falsworth Manor.” John Falsworth had said to them, making the Atlantean wonder how safe it was when a woman approached.
“Uncle John,” she had said towards him, smiling as he had turned to the group, “Everyone, this is Jacqueline Falsworth, my niece.” he had told them, making the group look, “Hello there, Jacqueline.” Triton had said, offering his hand to her which she had taken, “I am Triton Mander–Azur.” he had said, “Zarda of Utopia.” Zarda said, “Maximus Boltagon.” the one in black had said.
“Doctor Horton calls me The Human Torch.” The Synthezoid had said to them, making Namor wonder why he didn’t give his name, “Joseph Ledger of The United States Military on loan.” the American said, “James Doe.” The Skrull said, “Thomas Reynolds, but you can call me Toro, hot stuff.” he had said to Jacqueline with a wink, “Namor.” The Atlantean had answered, watching them.
The group had all looked at each other when there was a gust of wind, making them all look at each other in confusion as there was another zoom and another before they had seen that there was a man in a yellow leather outfit with aviator goggles on, “Nice to meet you all.” The Speedster had said to them, “Robbie Frank, and glad to see I’m not the only one here.” he had told them while Namor had wondered on how.
They had all looked at each other with that, the group surprised by the arrival of a speedster when the Lord had looked to them, “Come along now, let’s go ahead and see everything that we’re going to be working with.” he had told them all and hearing that, the group had went and looked at each other before they had went and started to get the process all of the abilities they would have to use.
John had motioned with them to follow and as they had done so, he had spoken, “We will be splitting you into Combatants and Support.” he had said towards them, “And then we will see which area you will be best suited.” he had said towards them and hearing that, Namor had looked at each other again before he had looked towards the pack that he had brought with him and pulled out the only thing inside.
He had went and shown the trident before he had went and started to fly up now and as he had done so, Namor had looked to the others with a glare which had made THomas and Jim give a look before they had started to light up and fly, James Doe doing the same as he had went and shed his human disguise to reveal himself as a man in a blue and white jumpsuit and green features.
That had surprised the humans and Synthezoid, but the Inhumans and Utopian were not as they had looked at them, “I see that we have our Air forces now.” he had said towards them with a smile and hearing that, the others were all interested in that as Namor had looked to them, “Well then, let’s begin.” he had said before he had went and charged towards them now.

9/24/1941, Men’s Quarters, Falsworth Manor
All of them had finished up with their demonstrations and as they had done so, Triton and Namor had went and entered the tanks that Namor had brought in for them to sleep in and as the men had looked at each other, The Human Torch spoke, “So… why did you all join up?” Jim had asked them, making them look at each other, “I want to be useful.” James Doe, The Jovian, as he had claimed, had said to them.
“I’m a soldier, and The Germans are the enemy.” Joseph had explained to them, making them look to Namor, “They attacked my home.” Namor had told them, staying quiet, the memory and rage still fresh in his mind, “It’s the right thing to do.” the closest he had to a friend had said towards them, “Same as Torchy.” Toro had told them, “We were on an adventure and got caught in with all of this.” Max said to them.
That made the Atlantean curious on that, “I heard about Poland so I wanted to help.” Robbie had said towards them and hearing that, the group had all thought on that as they had went and started to get everything sorted as the men there had thought on what would be next for them all and as they had done so, Namor had went and stripped as they had all prepared for their night.
As Namor had went and started to prepare for his night when he had seen that Triton was looking towards the Prince, making him curious, “Yes…?” he had asked of him, “Are you Atlantean?” he had said towards him, making Prince nod towards him, “Yes, yes I am.” he had said towards The Inhuman who had looked at him with confusion, “But The Submerans and Sharka are Blue, so why–?”
“You’ve been to Submera? You’ve spoken to The Sharka?” he had asked in surprise as they had looked at each other, “Yes, we had made contact with them in the past.” he had said towards him, making Namor think, “Have… have you spoken to Attuma?” he had asked and hearing that, the Prince look towards him with curiosity, “Not for a while, ever since he had lost his father and became chief.
Hearing that, Namor had nodded, “I remember, I was there when it had happened.” he had said towards Triton, “He had never forgiven Atlantis for what had happened and I do not know if he ever will.” he had said towards Triton who had looked at him, “You’re The Half Prince.” Triton had said towards him, making Namor glare towards the nickname now, “What?” he had snarled.
“I– It’s just something that I had heard in the past.” he had said towards him and hearing that, Namor had glared, “What’s that name about?” Thomas had asked of him, making the Atlantean sigh at that, “It’s something that I would not prefer to dwell on.” he had said towards them all, making the group all look at each other while he had went and turned to look at a wall and hope for sleep now.

Namor had been snapped awake now and as he had looked at everything, he had seen that there was a noise which made the Prince cautious, he had went and gotten out, going and heading towards the towels that were set up when he had heard a skittering in the hall, making him curious, “Jim?” he had whispered, but the Synthezoid was standing on a wall with his arms crossed, recovering.
Seeing he and the others were asleep, he had went and headed towards the hall and as he did so, Namor had seen that there was darkness and he was more cautious, readying himself as he had went and followed the noise, wondering what it was as he had went and headed towards an open balcony which had made the Atlantean curious as he had headed out to see what it was.
As he had finally reached the area and looked to see that there was something in the sky, it was something that was human sized with a gray and red uniform, wings making up part of it with fangs, making Namor glare at it before he had realized that it must have been an Aqueos, but as it had vanished, he had thought on those stakes and decided that he had to warn the others on this.
______________________________________________________________________
As Namor had walked out, his eyes hurting from the light, he had seen that there was John Falsworth, “Commander Falsworth.” Namor had said to him, making John look at him in surprise, “Yes?” he had asked of him, making The Atlantean look towards the wall that was there, “I saw an Aqueos… what you’d call a vampire in the night, and–” “We’re aware.” John said towards him.
“And we are dealing with it properly.” he had said, “For now, do not try to hunt it, understood?” he had asked, placing a cold hand on his shoulder, making the man shiver at that but had nodded in the end, “Understood.” he had said, seeing the others who were coming out, “Alright, head out there, lets get onto training.” he had said towards him and a little cautious at that, he had decided to listen for now.

9/30/1941, Bobo’s Home, Long Beach
The treasure hunter was looking at his latest collection when he had seen that there was someone who had walked from the water, making Bobo glare, “What do you–?” “They’re dead.” he had said towards him, confusing Bobo, “Whose dead?” he had asked of him, making Beemer take a deep breath, rubbing at his gill scarf at that, “Everyone, our mother, our sisters, our father…” he had said to him.
That had made Bobo pause at that, looking at his older brother in shock, “H–How?” he had asked of him, making Beemer go and sit down, looking at the new oil rig which had replaced the old one he had destroyed, “Meranno.” he had said towards his baby brother, “He had allied himself with the Germans, they had attacked us… stolen children… Queen Korra is dead as well.” he had told him.
That had made him go and sit down next to his brother, covering his mouth in shock at that as he had went and looked towards the rig as well, “How is Namor taking it?” he had asked of him, making the Prince go and lean back, “He had went to fight against The Germans.” Beemer had told him, “Going to fight besides the Pinklings around there.” he had told them.
That had made Bobo go and lean back, taking a breath at that as he had went and leaned back, the two of them wanting to be together for now, both of them just wishing to be in the moment as they had just decided to stay there and support each other for the moment, neither one wanting to lose the only member of their family that they had left right about now.

10/1/1941, Kendal Residence, New Canaan
Cass was sitting by the pool, playing with the water by kicking it, it had made Cassandra giggle as she had watched it go and as she had done so, Liz had went and sat beside her as she had taken off of her shoes, looking towards the little girl that had the hat on now and wanted to take it off with her ear points hidden too which had made her itchy as Cass looked towards her.
“Hello there, Cass,” she had said with a smile, “Did you finish your studies?” she had asked, making the girl nod at that, “Yes!” she had told her sister, smiling at her with love and joy as she nodded, “I did all of my mathematics and I had all of my projects completed!” She had said towards her as they had both went and looked into the water with joy, “So then, what would you like to hear about?” she asked.
Cassandra had went and tapped her chin with a smile before she had looked to her, “Can you tell me about the Prince you met?” she had asked of Liz, making her smile sadly before nodding, “Of course.” she had said towards her, “Long ago, when I was a young girl, me and my best friend, Sandy, were met by two princes.” she had said towards Cassandra who was enraptured like always, “One, was named Namor, which mean Avenging Son.” she had told Cassandra.
“And there was another boy there who was named Bobo, and that had meant ‘Kind Tide’.” she had said towards Cass who had smiled at that, “I like that name.” she had said towards Liz who had smiled at that, “I thought you would.” she had said towards Cass who smiled towards her, “Can we go and swim, Lizzie?” she had asked of her, making Liz a bit sad, but happy she could have these moments with her.

10/1/1941, Falsworth Manor, Dymhurst
Namor had walked out of the shower there, using a towel to dry his hair and as he had went and walked out, looking at them, he had noticed that there was Sk’ym’x who had been meditating right now and as he had done so, The Atlantean had seen that he looked different, gone was the featureless green head with no nose or eyes, now he had looked more reptilian with a ridged chin and pointed ears.
His colors were purple and black like when they first met and as Namor had looked at him and as he had done so, the Alien had opened his eyes and looked towards him, “Ah, Namor.” he had said before reverting to the face that he showed to the others, “Why do you pretend to appear like that instead of your true self?” he had asked of him, making Sk’ym’x lean back now.
“Tell me, if you had fangs, four red eyes with slit pupils and gray skin and were able to appear as you are now, would you show your true face, or what you think wouldn’t get you killed?” he had asked, making the Prince nod at that, “Understood.” he had said towards Sk’ym’x who had stood up and stretched, as he had done so, The Alien had went and walked past him.
“Shall we begin training?” he had asked, making the Atlantean nod at that as he had went and followed him, at least until he had seen that there was Joseph Ledger, the man that had come here with Sk’ym’x in the first place and as he had looked at the two, he noticed Namor’s face, “Looks like somebody saw Maxxies real face.” he had joked, making Namor look to the pair of them.
“A nickname.” he had said to him, “Now, then, I believe you have to see your limits?” Sk’ym’x had said towards him, making Joseph smile as the prism which had been floating around him made a flash before he was covered in a four colored bodysuit, blue on top, red on the right, yellow on the left and green on the bottom, “Up up and away.” he joked before shooting straight up and leaving them there.
Seeing that, the two of them had went and given a look, wondering what he was doing before the two of them had seen the others, “Shall we?” Skymax asked, “Let’s.” Namor said, throwing a punch at him but he had flown upwards, grinning at him as he had morphed into a more monstrous form as the two of them had went and started to get serious in their fighting against each other now.

12/8/1941, Big Ben, London
Namor and the others had been assigned here and as they had all waited, Namor saw that Max was looking upset at a newspaper, one that had shown that there was an attack on a place called Pearl Harbor, seeing that, he had know that this was going to be the spark that would get The Americans ready to fight now and it had made him wonder how many more of them would be here now.
