Viva La Supers!
4/6/1948, Paris, France
The Lady of Atlantis had been looking around now before she went to check on some of the information that they had on hand, more importantly, she was checking to see what The French had in The Superhero department, taking a breath as she looked around before the redhead noticed that there was something that made her pause, there was some sort of pink smoke starting to come around.
She paused, looking around now before seeing that there was civilian clothes like one would see a… investigator, wear, “Que fait un Atlante ici ?(What is an Atlantean doing here?)” it had asked, making Dorma scowl, “Identifiez-vous avant de tenter de m'interroger.(Identify yourself before attempting to question me.)” she warned towards him as the man chuckled towards that.
“Je suis le détective fantôme, madame, et j'aimerais que ce ne soit pas une autre situation à la Meranno.(I am The Phantom Detective, madam, and I would like this to not be another Meranno situation.)” he told her, making Dorma scowl, going and walking up to get in what his face should have been which made him almost surprised by the moment as she began to threaten him.
“Si jamais tu me compares encore à ce salaud de Meranno, je t'aspirerai à nouveau dans un aspirateur et t'enfermerai dans un coffre-fort que personne ne trouvera jamais.(If you ever compare me to that bastard Meranno again, I will suck you up in a vacuum cleaner again and lock you in a vault no one will ever find.)” Dorma said, making him chuckle towards that.
“I believe we should switch to Anglais, in case anyone else is listening.” he said now, making Dorma sigh towards that before nodding, “Fine, what’re you here for?” she asked, “I am here to see what you and your Atlantean spies are planning, your network is quite impressive.” he said to her which made the woman look at his gaseous form and realize that they needed more security for others like him.
“I’m here because I heard about something here, a… Necrogateur.” she said now and hearing that, the man looked towards the woman now, “Let’s go and make sure that everything that we are doing cannot be traced.” The Detective had told her, making Dorma respect that now as she had said as they walked, “Where are we going?” she asked, making him chuckle as they moved now.

4/6/1948, Musée de Louvre, Paris
The two of them walked in, the crowd looking at them as if they were used to the sight of the being there, “So, what exactly are we doing here?” the lady asked, “I live here.” he said, going and starting to observe one of the items there, “I like to search and find mysteries, maybe I will find out what happened to myself in the process.” he said, making the woman curious at that now before he spoke.
“Le Necrogateur is a title.” he said towards her, making Dorma confused, “Back during the construction of The Catacombs in, there was a child that had wandered out of it wearing a skull like mask with a single red eye in the 13th Century.” he explained towards her, “Since then, Le Necrogateur acted as Le Nécromancien des Rois(The Kings Necromancer.)” he told her.
Now that made her wonder why a Royal Necromancer would be in 2099, but Detective Fantôme didn’t believe that was all of it as the two of them continued to walk, “So you are here to recruit him?” the Detective asked, making Dorma shake her head, “No, I just wanted to make sure that he wasn’t a danger in any sort of way.” The Atlantean told him which made The Detective sigh.
“Then I suppose that you are not here to ask about the others.” he said towards her, making Dorma stop now, “Others?” she asked, making the man pause towards that now and look towards her, “Of course, do you think that America and England are the only places to have heroes?” he asked of Dorma which made her sigh towards that before he went to look towards an office.
With a simple pressing of his hand at the lock, the door had opened up now and allowed Dorma to walk in now and see that there was a detective office now, “I take it that you keep your research here?” Dorma asked as she saw a map that he hurriedly closed, but she noticed that there were names such as Union Jack and Power Princess, making the woman realize what it was, a list of every hero internationally.
There was also a few names like HYDRA which made her look at him, “So I take it that you’re not going to tell me anything, correct?” she asked and hearing that, the man simply chuckled now, making his smoke pop a bit now before Detective Fantôme went and nodded towards him, “Simply put, I would like to ask for your help making sure that our… community, does not attempt anything dangerous.”
That made the woman pause towards that before she looked at him, “Like what?” she asked of the man who proceeded to offer her a file, “Department H, Canada’s superheroes.” he said, making the woman surprised, having not heard of that group, then again, she tried to avoid Canada since her mother warned her about a fanged fisherman that carved smiley faces on his victims.
“Fine, so you want me to look into them, what does Atlantis get out of it?” she asked, not fooled at how she’s getting the bad end of the deal right now, “Simple, I’ll tell you where Dr. Dorcas, the man abducting your people, is hiding.” he said now, making Dorma shocked, “Who? What?” she asked, having not heard of a Dr. Dorcas before today, “If you’d like to learn more, than I’d suggest getting yourself to Canada.”
Dorma glared, but she couldn’t argue that he had something she wanted and she could give him something he wanted, “And how would we contact each other afterwards?” she asked, making The Detective give a look, “I believe one of your little communicators would work.” he said and hearing that, Dorma was going to have to keep several spies on him now as she got to work on what was next.

4/9/1948, Department H Headquarters, Toronto
Dorma had been dressed as Peggy Carter, it was a name that appeared to pull some weight as she entered, “It is a pleasure to meet you, Agent Carter.” the man, a Director Hudson, said towards her, “Hello there, now, I heard that there could have been a leak here, would you be so pleased as to tell me everything that could have been stolen?” ‘Peggy’ had asked of him.
Hudson nodded, the two of them going and walking in now and as they did so, there was something that made her curious, seeing that there was a image of a blonde with scars and there were people that had been odd in appearance, “Huh, who are they?” she asked, making Hudson smile, “They’re a part of Alpha Flight, we even had a Wendigo amongst our team.” he said towards her.
Dorma had been surprised by that, having never heard of a Wendigo before but decided to continue walking now, The Atlantean entering a file room now and seeing that there were manilla folders that all had some sensitive information, “Here is what we could tell was tampered with in some way.” he said and hearing that, Dorma had looked them over, glad that she had the eye piece installed.
Looking them over now, she was glad that Opistho had been working on spyware like this now and as she had done so, the woman paused, looking towards one of the items that seemed concerning, “Here, Howard Stark’s movements with a man known as Nathaniel Richards.” she said towards them and hearing that, the man smiled, “Thank you, should we be heading to–”
“No worries, The SSR will make sure that there is nothing to worry about.” She told him with a smile, going and getting up now to leave, having read everything possible from them now when there was a noise which made her look to see a landline ringing, “I need to take this, could you–?” “I can find myself out.” she said with a smile now before going and starting to leave.
As she did so, there was a noise which made her pause, worried now as the woman paced forward, scanning everything that she could with the item now and as she started to rush forward as fast as possible, not wanting to be attacked from anything now before there was a new ringing which was making the woman go ahead and start to run now as fast as possible.
“The Agent Carter that has entered here is an imposter! Apprehend her!” The man on the speakers had shouted, one of the security guards seeing her went to attack the woman, but she had easily knocked them down and broke open the doors, now she just needed to run as fast as possible towards one of quickest routes towards the ocean as fast as possible.

Dorma had been at the park bench now, looking at her nails and making sure that the case was safe now as the woman saw that there was The Detective once more, “So then, you were able to get what you could?” he asked of her and hearing that, Dorma had nudged the case to him, “Everything perfectly suited for your technology.” she promised towards the man.
Hearing that, he smiled towards that now before taking it and then offering her an envelope now, “This will be everything that you need to know about Dr. Dorcas.” he said towards her, “He should be in Washington, do you have anyone that would be able to deal with him?” he asked of the woman and hearing that, she knew that there was something that he needed to find out about.
“I have associates to deal with it.” She said now and hearing that, the Detective nodded towards that as he started to vanish, “Alors je vous souhaite le meilleur, ma douce dame.(Then I wish you the best, my sweet lady.)” he said, his voice in the wind while she started to to think about what she was going to tell Bobo and the others about this situation right now.

Bobo had walked in now, some of The Atlantean Sleepers were there at his station right now before Bobo looked around before he saw something, “Excuse me,” he said towards one of the people who was wearing Sharka jewelry, “I’m looking for a Lemuel Dorcas, do you know where I can find him?” he asked the fisherwoman who had been looking confused.
“And why should I tell you that?” the woman asked and it made him curious about that before he saw that there were Sharka who noticed him and seeing how they looked angry at the sight of him, he turned and started to run fast, getting further into the woods as he heard Lemurian shouting, “[Kill the Prince of Atlantis! His blood shall feed The Engine of creation!]” the warrior shouted.
Hearing that, The Atlantean had snatched a jacket from a clothesline and then some of the other bits of gear that was there before he ran into a crowd, making sure that he was dressed now completely different from his usual appearance now as the hat covered his ears, he went to go and sit with a couple, starting to talk with them with a smile now as The Sharka ran off.
As they did so, the man was a bit relieved by that before the man looked towards them, “I’m sorry, hope you have a lovely day.” he told them with a smile now before going and starting to walk, making sure that he was not someone that draws attention before he looked at the address that Dorma had gotten from France and seen that there was the address in question, making the man smile now.

4/15/1948, Dorcas Residence, Tacoma
Bobo had walked up to the house now and looking towards everything there now and the moment that he saw there were Atlantean children who were playing at the pool, some of them had looked almost teenagers while others were barely toddlers, seeing them all, the Prince started to smile towards all of it now before he took a breath now before going to the gate with a smile.
“Hello there!” he said, making one of the girls who had looked to be almost eleven or ten, scowl as she readied something that looked like a knife, “Who are you?” she demanded, making Bobo look towards her, “My name’s– Bob.” he said to her, “I’m looking for Doctor Dorcas for the project.” he said, making the girl scowl, “Dr. Dorcas said that adults weren’t allowed.” she snapped towards him.
Nodding towards one of the kids there, he realized that they were going to try and warn the others, “No worries, I just wanted to make sure that everything is a ok for The Doctor and The Others.” he said and hearing that, the girl glared a little more, “Shurrea! What are you–?” a voice had shouted towards them when Attuma had seen Bobo there, “Well then, I will be on my way–”
But there were already two behind him, one of them grabbing at his head and then slamming it into the fence, the moment he did so, Bobo had tried to draw his pistol, but the other had taken a knife and cut the back of his hand, making him hiss in pain before they took the weapon and then brought him to his knees now with Attuma going and starting to approach the man.
“I can’t believe that Atlantis already knows about this little operation.” he snarled, making Bobo about to say something before Attuma kicked him in the head now, he started to black out now and before he faded into the black and the moment that he did so, Shurrea walked over, “I’ll get the Doctor.” she promised towards him now as Attuma went to lift the man up to drag him away.

4/15/1948, Dorcas Lab, Dorcas Residence
Bobo had woken up inside of a water filled container, his lower half hurt for some reason and there was a man that was wearing a labcoat with Atlanteans looking at him, all Sharka, with some looking larger, some having different toned skin, and some of them looking like they became monsters or not at all, “Hello there… now this is a lovely subject of a partial for Namor.” he said.
“I’m his COUSIN, not his brother, you idiot!” he snapped, making the tube start to electrocute him now, “I know that, but the maternal heritage is lovely, and it took a pretty penny to get the paternal DNA.” he said towards them and hearing that, the Prince got worried now before he looked towards Attuma, “What are you and this man working with?” he snarled towards the Warchief.
But Attuma had ignored him, “Are all of my future warriors ready to head home?” he asked, making the man go and look towards some of the kids there now and they all seemed ready to fight, gnashing their teeth and beating at their chests now before Dorcas sighed, “Just a few more examinations, and remember, you are to hit Communist Operations, not ours.” he told Attuma.
“I remember, the red places on the map.” he said before they went and started to leave now, some of the kids, like the girl that warned the others, Shurrea, glared towards him, “Why do you look like Cass?” Shurrea asked of him, confusing Bobo, “Who?” he asked of her, “Cass! Cassandra Kendal from New Canaan!” she said and hearing that, Bobo paused towards that.
“Kendal, like Liz’s surname?” he asked, making the girl pause, “You know her sister Lizzie?” she asked, making the man nod, “She’s the love of my life.” he told her and hearing that, Shurrea gave a look towards everything around there before the Sharka went and pressed a button now, making him confused by that before the tank had started to make a noise that sounded like flushing.
They heard a noise which made the group all turn and see that he was being flushed, “What happened?!” “He’s getting flushed into the sewers!” they started to shout now and hearing that, Bobo had an idea on what was going on now while Shurrea glared towards him and mouthed a simple phrase, ‘Don’t get caught again!’ the girl had warned while Dorcas went and started to chuckle towards them.
“Not to worry… we have a way to deal with all of this.” He said with a smile now, making The Atlantean think on that before he went and started to think on how he was going to get the Hell out of here, and then he was going to get The Squadron Supreme and everyone else he could to deal with them as the man went and was flushed downwards into the unknown.

4/15/1948, Seattle Waters, Seattle
Bobo had wound up in somewhere else now, looking around and almost gasping, but as he did so, the Atlantean started to look back towards Tacoma now before taking a deep breath and swimming towards Seattle, this Dorcas was working with the Sharka, and more importantly, one of them appeared to know about Lizzie and Cass, and the way that she said they looked… they looked so similar…
He tried to calm down now, trying to think on what he was going to be doing instead now as the Atlantean started to wonder what Dorcas did to him when he was unconscious, what exactly they were working to do which had been changing those children from their original forms to those mutations which made the man think on what they were doing and what was going on now.

4/30/1948, Cove Island, Stamford
Cass was smiling now as she waiting for Shurrea, her friend had been secretive right about now with being in Washington, but Cass just wanted to scream and shout at every awesome thing that they were going to be doing when The Sharka girl went and hugged her, “I met Bobo in Washington.” she told her, making Cass surprised by that, “Really?” she asked of Shurrea.
“Yeah, he was in Tacoma and he bothered our Doctor, but he was nice.” she told the girl and hearing that, she was amazed, “Woah! The Sharka have a doctor?” she asked, making the girl nod, “Yup, Lord Attuma met Dr. Dorcas for a project and we all get better because of it!” she said towards her, flexing her arm and as she did so, Shurrea’s veins started to glow.
That made Cass ‘ooh’ towards the veins, going to touch one when Shurrea inched her arm back, “Careful, I make venom now.” Shurrea told her with a smile, making Cass curious, “Does that help you?” she asked, making the girl think, “I think it might… I’m not sure how, but Attuma and the others say that it will help our future.” she said to her which made Cass think on that.
“What was Bobo like?” she asked, making Shurrea pause at that now as she went to grab a stone and throw it, “I think he was nice, he didn’t try and be mean.” Shurrea told her, “He looked a lot like you, and he called Lizzie the love of his life.” she said to her and hearing that, Cass had smiled, “Then we gotta get them together!” Cass said towards Shurrea, confusing her.
“What?” she asked, “Yeah! They both still love each other! And Lizzie doesn’t want to marry anyone else… so we can get them together and make them happy!” The girl said to her and hearing that, the Sharka gave a look towards that before sighing, “Fine, so what do we start with?” she asked, making Cass grin at the fact that she had a coconspirator, “Let’s start with them saying hi.”

4/30/1948, Bobo’s Home, Long Beach
Bobo had been taking a drag, trying to wait for some help when he heard a knock, making the man look and see that there was a knock on his door, making Bobo open it to see that there was a man, if he was right, it was a General Uniform, and it made him relieved, “Ah, hello there, you’re here about–” “Mr. Bobo, you really should have stayed away.” he told him.
That confused the Prince, “What–?” he started to say before all of a sudden he had felt a prick in his neck, a needle injecting a fluid inside him and making Bobo gasp, “What…?” he started to say, stumbling now before he faded to black, “Should be a usual resource.” the man said towards him before the Prince faded to black and started to think on what was going to happen next.
