Some Shocking Guests
11/13/1948, Hotel, Washington DC
The Atlantean was gasping as he felt the electricity, going and starting to try and get up, and as he did so, the electric creature had attempted to attempt to grab at a blade and such, trying to get up and attack, but the man that was known as Rush by his friends had made seen hi and approached, he went and kicked Namor by the head and as he did so, the Atlantean snarled towards him.
“I have to say, it was a surprise that you seem so… healthy, when you should be close to death right now.” he said towards him, making the man scowl towards him, “I’ve been through worse.” he snarled towards him as the man got weaker and weaker, “Yes, I assume so, but to be fair, I’m not here to murder you or anyone else, I’m here to come back and I am going to make sure Frankie is going to be painful.
“Things are going to be… fun.” he told them and hearing that, that, the Atlantean started to get up, trying to force himself up and as he did so, Rush had sighed, waving him off, “You’re too weak to do anything anyways.” Rush said towards him as the others started to get up, looking towards the man as the goons that he had brought all were grabbed by the electrical creature.
They were all drained away, unlike the others they had been mummified and it made the group worried by that when they started to move forward with the electric creature cackling, sparks that were starting to explode off of it, one of them entering the electrical system while the others all seemed to die, “Calm down, little one… we don’t need you eating the Earth.” Rush said.
The electrical being went to attack the Speedster, but he pulled out a trigger and pressing the button, making the creature start to dull and the moment that it did so, they had been shocked at the sight as they had started to feel the drain down and as they felt that, the group started to get up and as they did so, The Electrical Creature turned towards them and hissed in anger.
“Come on… have some fun.” he snipped towards the creature with the electrical creature which made it angry towards that while Namor went to pick up the people that were there and starting to escort them away, “COme on! We need to go!” he shouted out as Dum Dum Dugan who had a chance grabbed a service pistol he had and opened fire upon the Speedster.
But instead of getting hit, Rush only grabbed the bullets, looking at them with curiosity before he went and threw them towards the Squadron, Franklin using his geokinetic abilities to raise up some stone to block bullets, some of them only denting while one of them went through and hit him hard in the shoulder which made Franklin get on the ground while Walter and Robert went to rush forward at him.
The Speedster had been running around and as he avoided their attacks, he grabbed Walter, “How about we go for a run?” he asked with a smile and hearing that, Robert to run after them and seeing them vanish, Maddie looked towards the scene of the electrical creature and took a breath as she flown forward and Miss America had grabbed onto the armor he wore.
Using her strength, the woman had started to lift the creature as quickly and as strongly as possibly before hitting the ceiling, making it flinch in pain before she started to head over to the nearest window so that she could get him away from the others, the moment that she was able to, the three of them came back and seeing that, Namor with Zarda charged forth, Namor grabbing a gauntlet she kept just in case.
Both of them had been behind the Speedster and used everything that they had to punch the back of his head, making him flip into the air, vibrating once more and as he did so, the speedster had vanished, almost like he was a ghost and it made the pair of them surprised by the sight of that and as they looked towards them, Namor looked towards Robert and Walter, “Let’s go!”

The four of them arrived where he was, sitting at a table and appearing to have eaten a large amount of food and as he did so, looking like he was enjoying the meal, he saw that there was something which made them confused as they saw that there was a man on the table that looked like he was dissected, “Mmm!” He said towards them, “I have to say, this is some good meat!”
That made the group worried and wondering where he came from as the Speedster got up and then revealed that he had steak knives on his person that he threw around and towards them, making the two speedsters going to grab at the blades now while Rush had simply laughed and proceeded to throw the corpse towards them and making Zarda grab at the body.
That made the Speedster laugh as he ran over, going to punch them while Namor started to type into the gauntlet, trying to put in every bit of power in that weapon before the Speedster start to get close and as he did so, Namor started to throw out his hand, making a sphere of water hit him and as he did so, the Speedster had paused, long enough for Zarda to attack him with the corpse.
The man had been hit again, but he was only laughing, he had been hit hard enough that his bones should have been broken, it made the group concerned and confused by the sight as both Speedsters went and threw the knives back, but he only vibrated fast enough that they went through the man and into the wall, but Walter was already on his person, going and beating his skull in.
But as he did so, Rush had been backed up by another iteration of himself, “Are you sure that you should be here? What about my little zapper?” he asked, picking Walter off and throwing him while Namor looked to Robert, “Outside!” he shouted and The Speedster nodded towards that as they both started to rush forward to go and help Maddie in whatever capacity.

The two of them arrived outside and saw that Maddie was pinned by the creature which seemed to be avoiding something, dragging the woman away and as he had done so, the two of them rushed forward, Robbie going to steal his gal away while Namor had went to slice the hydrant thanks to his gauntlet, making it shoot out towards the electric creature, making it start to scream.
It was starting to shrink down until the red armor began to wrap around him, making it begin to make the electrical being look more like a metal red mummy that started to run towards the Atlantean who had wished he was wearing his full armor and as he looked towards the creature that rammed into him, he smiled, “You’re able to be touched again!” he said towards the creature.
The in question was confused by that before Maddie and Robert both went and attacked, ramming into the creature hard, almost denting the armor as Robert looked to the others, “I need to help with Rush.” he told them before running off and hearing that, Maddie and Namor both got annoyed by that before they looked, “We need to crush it before he can get out again!” Namor shouted.
The electric creature had hissed towards that before they started to get to work, Maddie used her strength with everything that Namor had before they started to crunch up and make it almost look like a cocoon which they had relaxed with, the monster had been beaten now, “Wait, Rush! We need to help the others.” The Atlantean said, Maddie nodding as she picked it up and they started to move.

The two of them rushed in and as they did so, they saw that some more people were there and they had been able to deal with any of the remaining goons that were there, Rush going to have some fun before the Speedster had seen that there was something else that made the woman shocked as Maddie went and thrown the electric creature towards the man.
He had been hit and as he had been, the cocoon had appeared to be acting up it was creating static electricity that was absorbing energy from Rush, “Hey!Hey!Hey!Hey!Hey!” He shouted out in rage and fury, looking towards them in anger and as he had been affected, the Speedster, Robert who was there, had given a look as he seemed to recall something that happened in the 25th Century.

“Redvers!” Robert shouted out towards the man as he saw Rush grabbing at the man, Redvers wearing a blue version of his army uniform with goggles, provided by The Squadron Supreme who had been grabbed by Rush, “How about we go for a run?” Rush asked of the speedster before throwing him onto the ground and as he did so, Rush started to run, “NO–!” The Whizzer shouted, but his leg was stabbed through.
A plasma rod had been stabbed through his thigh and he was still trying to get up as he saw everything, seeing that there was Rush as he dragged him across the ground, laughing out loud towards everything now as he headed to a wall, “Have fun living in the walls!” he shouted out and hearing that, the Speedster had panicked, “Can someone–!” he began to say, but they were alone.
The rest of The Squadron Supreme had been fighting against The Squadron Sinister, looking towards them, he looked around, trying to see something when The Whizzer saw that there was a Chrono–Blaster loaned from The TVA there, taking a chance, the man lifted and aimed, going and firing towards the pair of them and as he did so, Rush phasing through the wall, they were both consumed by the light.
His friend was gone, and all that was left of the situation was nothing more than some blood in the shape of his friend and it made the Speedster start to panic in shock towards the sight, “No!” he shouted out in shock, looking towards the scene with panic and worry at what had happened to his friend and student and it made the man vow vengeance as he wanted to hurt Rush badly.

Whizzer had ran towards the man and as Robert went to punch at the man, he saw that the man had been laughing towards the electricity before things started to slow down, confusing Robert, it reminded him of The Speedway, it made the man confused while Rush had taken the cocoon off, “Perfect.” he said with a smile towards the Hero and as he did so, Robert got angry before going to charge.
But even as he tried to get through, to attack him, the Speedster had only chuckle towards him as he dodged with ease, “Please, you’re going to have to be faster than that.” he warned towards the man before grabbing his shoulder and kneeling him down to knee him in the gut, Robert had gasped, shocked and in while Rush looked upwards, “Oi! I got the battery like you wanted!” Rush shouted.
Robert was confused by the statement before he had seen that there was The Scarlet Centurion who was looking towards the scene there and scoffing, “I can’t believe that you went thought with Plan J.” he told the man and hearing that, Rush shrugged, “You picked me up from a warzone in your future selves empire, you knew that I would go with J.” he told the man, making The Scarlet Centurion scoff.
As he did so, Robert saw that Walter had went to grab onto another member of their party, Namor who woke up shocked, “What–?” he began before Walter grabbed onto his face, hushing him and making the Atlantean curious as they looked around before seeing how the two were looking, “Normally… I would have gone to acquire Zzzax… but their progenitor will have to do, they’re more powerful… but more feral.”
Hearing it, the group wondered what a Zzzax was, but what they did know was they they couldn’t let either of them get away, especially with the mess that they left behind, “Well then, we better clean up before something worse than a Zzztatic.” The Scarlet Centurion explained towards them and hearing that, Namor looked to Walter, “Get Zarda, Maddie, anyone that can help, I’ll distract them.” he explained.
“Great, and what’ll I do?” someone else, Rush, had said towards them, making the two panic, Namor went to cold cock the man, but Rush instead had started to wrap around his arm like a serpent and bend, “I must say, I wish you were still in your prime.” He said towards him, “But this is still satisfying.” The enemy speedster said, starting to apply force and as he did so, there was a change.
The people there started to speed up, both Fissure and Cyclone had went to attack The Scarlet Centurion, Fissure making stones rise up that Cyclone fired like buckshot towards the man, meanwhile Maddie flew forward to nab the battery, but The Scarlet Centurion attempted to stop, firing a blast from his gauntlet that almost distracted Namor, but he was not going to die just yet.
Instead Namor had picked up a glass and smashed it, going and stabbing Rush in the leg, making the man laugh but let go, he started to try and tear the glass out, but Namor was not an idiot, instead he had leapt down onto Rush and started to beat him while the others had been fighting The Centurion, trying to grab at the battery he had, but the man was difficult to say the least.
It was irritating for them as he kept either freezing them or transporting away, it was annoying to say the least, but as they had moved, the Time Traveler gave a look towards them all, “Are you all seriously attempting to try and catch me?! The Richards Clan cannot defeat me! The Avenging Ones cannot defeat me! What makes you think that you–?!” he started before there was a cracking.
It made the man look down and see that there was The Howard from the other world who had a service weapon on his person, one that he fired with a scowl, “Get on your knees, now.” he ordered, making The Scarlet Centurion scowl towards the man, starting to get up and as he went to heal himself, only for people with their own pieces like Dum Dum opening fire on the man and as they did Zarda acted.
She snagged the battery that he had been working to get and seeing that, the woman had grinned, “Sorry, but you’re not getting this that easily!” she shouted towards th man who was annoyed, angry, but the man had focused and decided that he was going to do something now, he was going to make sure that it hurt, “Think about this… as a wedding present.” he told them with a smile.
That made all of them pause, looking to each other before they turned and started to rush towards him, making the Time Traveler give a high whistle towards Rush, “Come on! Let’s go!” he shouted out, making the man try and shake Namor off before he decided to vibrate, making the Speedster phase through the Atlantean and then run over to The Scarlet Centurion who made a device appear.
“Enjoy.” The Scarlet Centurion said towards the group before he and Rush vanished there and it made the group confused by the sight as they headed over to the strange item that had been set up, making the group look and see how there was something strange going on, the item had started to break the area open, making them confused by the sight when they noticed that there was The GA there.
First of all was their Zarda, she had worn a unitard in the same color of her armor that had been accompanied by a circlet the unitard and boots appearing to be made of a metallic cloth, but it was the others that drew the attention of the others, First there was Zoran The Sun God who wore a yellow and Blue uniform reminiscent of Superman that had almost a target on the torso of it.
After that was Jack Danner, Hawk–Owl who had a hawk designed armor with orange lenses and a almost feathered cape which made him seem part hero part winter barbarian as the weapons that were a part of his arsenal were all on his belt, but he was in no way the most surprising of the group, for example, Mimi Schwartz who had her hair hidden under the crazy white wig.
She had face paint that made her almost look like an opera clown with the outfit of a ballerina in shades of green that showed her thighs and forearms but the hidden weapons in her ruffles had helped her be dangerous if her voice did not help, Blue Eagle and Lady Lark on the other hand had been garbed more like gladiators, The former had been garbed in blue and silver while the latter wore black and bronze.
Armored with a pair of helmets in their arms modeled after the birds in question and weapons attached to their belts while Frank Keen, had been wearing a full body suit that was a deep dark blue that covered his raven hair with mechanical gauntlets that regulated his powers which had glowing orbs holding the power with military green pants and boots that had his logo on the belt buckle as he looked at Countdown.
He wore a Sand colored cloak with sleeves and a mask that covered his mask and the lower half of his face but not his red hair, the cloak covered a armored bodysuit that had had a hourglass that was attached to his belt, gloves and a uniform that was black and crimson with the latter color almost pulsing like powerlines while The Norn worse his silver helmet, a dark blue and black uniform attached with a cape.
His silver staff in his hand, brimming with power, Mister Hypnos though wore a trench coat that carried his tools, his pistol at the read as his fedora and unique featureless mask making people concerned that the snow white haired man was looking at them, aiming towards some people as The Apparition had appeared to be brimming with power as hie cloak and mask looked like the geography of Earth.
All the while The dirty blonde Thaddeus had worn a three piece suit and with an undercut while B’og S’piir had appeared like the outline of a human, a shadow that was covered with crackling light blue energy that almost electrocuted everything with the Spirit looking towards Dusk Sawbones who was looking over everyone who was coming through the portal there.
He had worn a cap that looked like it had no eyes and what appeared to be a short sleeved leather armor uniform that was modeled after a Doctors uniform in black, boots and studs on the knuckles as well as a pack with medical supplies attached to his belt as The Photon Flyer with his golden blonde hair had flown upwards, staff at the ready in his bodysuit of white and gold colors.
The white being primary while the gold was on the sides and inside of the arms, a domino mask on his face that almost made them think he was like a Majesdanian as Power Extraordinary who was in black and white with a domino mask came over to them, “Can you please tell us, what’s going on?” the man asked, his poliosis split evenly and making him stand out more than people would expect.
Rider though had already started to head out to leave, the meta chainmail making up his clothes, the metal half mask and hood making him almost seem like a demonic knight as the man went and headed towards a window and as he did so, the man noticed that there was something interesting as he had felt something electrocute his hand, knocking him backwards in surprise.
“Rider!” Zoran said, grabbing him before he landed, making the group head over and as they did so, the two teams saw that there was something confusing, the universe, everything outside of the hotel had looked as if it had been shifting between two different realities, confusing them now before both Zarda’s went to their Howards embracing them in joy before they looked to each other.
“I’m sorry, but do you have any idea what’s going on?” Namor asked and hearing that, the group looked towards him, some of them relieved to see that he was okay but curious about the fact that they had found ourselves locked up in a hotel with two different teams from two different universes there, but what they did know was that they were going to have to get to work and make sure they got out alive at least.
