Making The Team
9/24/1941, London, England
Joseph and Sk’ym’x who had decided to help out the humans for now as a James Doe when he had paused, “I don’t understand why we’re still here.” he had said, “Why haven’t we gone ahead and attacked them in Germany?” he had asked of her, “I could fly over and–” “There’s an army with weapons as dangerous as one of you there.” he had warned, “They’d probably blast you out of the sky if you got sloppy.” he said.
“Then come fly with me.” he had said, “Together we could–” “Become dictators? Take over the country?” he had asked, “Yes, isn’t that what you’re trying to do?” he had asked, making Joseph sigh, “No, we’re trying to stop a dictator.” he had said, making James Doe sigh, “I can’t understand that, “You wish to fight, you wish to stop the opposition, but you don’t wish to take control?” he asked,
That had made Joseph sigh, “We’ll talk about it when we meet up with our handlers.” he had said towards him when they had paused, making Joseph see that Skymax was looking around, “What?” he had asked, “Do you have a comprehending of what an Atlantean is?” he had asked, making Joseph look at him,”Yeah, they’re myths.” he had said, making James Doe look, “Then what is he?” He asked.
That had made Joseph looked towards him, “Someone we have to talk to.” he had said with a smile as they had both approached, Joseph going and tapping his shoulder to make the man look to them, “Yes?” he had asked of them, his features looking human, but the tops of his ears, they were hidden by his hat, “Are you human?” Skymax had asked of him, that seemed to put him on guard so Joseph acted.
“Relax, we were wondering if you’re here to help.” He had said, making the man look to them, seeming to decide on something now, “I guess I am.” he had said towards them, offering his hand, “I’m Namor.” he had told them, making the two smile, “Joseph Ledger, James Doe.” he had said as the two of them had went and headed towards the building where their bosses would be.

9/24/1941, Cabinet War Rooms, New Public Offices
“I have no idea why people are having so many weapons around here.” Maximus had asked as they had walked in, all of them all looking around as if they didn’t exist at all as Max had looked, “Where are we going again?” he had asked, making the Navy Man look around worried, “J– Just there.” he had said and hearing that, the four of them had went and walked towards the room.
As they had went and headed towards it, “Commander Falsworth!” one of the men there had shouted, “Commander Falsworth! We’ve got some new information from Agent Marlow! They got a way out for The Asset!” one of them said, “Excellent, get me the update and–” the man had started before he had turned and seen who was there, confused at the sight of them.
“Can someone tell me why one of our American volunteers and three unknowns had gotten in here?!” he had snapped, making everyone with a weapon aim theirs at the four of them, “On the ground!” Weapons away!” “Identify–!” “Calm down.” Maximus had said to them, feeling a migraine as he said this before he had went and popped another pill, looking at them with the others all there.
The man there, gray hair with circular Spectacles had looked at them before recognizing him properly, “Shelton, Howard Shelton?” he had asked, smiling at him, “Yes, Commander Falsworth.” he had said, making the man smile as he had looked at him, “Come now, Mr. Shelton, it’s John, John Falsworth.” he had said, smiling as he had went and looked to them.
“I take it that they’re a part of our new Freedom’s Five?” he had asked, making the three of them look in confusion as Howard had nodded, “Sir, yes sir.” he had said and hearing that, the group were still confused as John smiled, “Alright then, tell me everything that you can.” he had said towards them, making the three of them look at each other before they had spoken to each other.

The three of them had been sitting at a desk as a blonde man had went and sat down across from them, “Howdy.” he had said with a smile, going and dropping down, “Human Torch.” he said with a smile, offering a hand, “I’m Zarda of Utopia Isle, and this is Triton and Maximus of Attilan.” she had said and hearing that, they had all looked at each other as there was Howard coming in.
“Okay then, and–” he had started to say before seeing that there was The Human Torch which had made them look in confusion, “You’re that robot, right?” he had asked him, making him keep the smile on, “Synthezoid.” he had said, making the man nod, “So what’s the verdict?” Maximus had asked, Triton going and taking a sip of water to keep himself hydrated.
“Yes, the Commander had decided to go ahead and get you registered as assets of The Allied Forces like Dr. Horton’s… companions.” he had said towards them, making the Inhumans and Princess look to them, “Companions?” Zarda had asked as The Human Torch looked at them, “Kind of a problem, he’s–” The Synthezoid had started when John spoke now.
“Yes, Dr. Horton’s ward… Toro.” the older man had said as a American Soldier with two others had went and looked at everything that was there before he spoke, “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.” he had told them, making the assembled group look at each other.
“We just have to go ahead and wait at Dymhurst.” he had said and hearing that, they all looked around in curiosity at that as John had motioned for them to follow, all of them a bit cautious and wondering why they would need to show their abilities and how this would affect everything as they had all went and started to follow afterwards, Jim a bit at ease as they headed down that way.

9/24/1941, Falsworth Manor, Dymhurst
The group had come out of the vehicles and looking around at everything with curiosity and interest before they had seen the stakes that were set up, that there were burned corpses that were being taken down now, “Welcome to Falsworth Manor.” John Falsworth had said to them, making the group all look as they saw that there and was a woman that was there.
“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 said, “Maximus Boltagon.” his cousin said.
“Doctor Horton calls me The Human Torch.” The Synthezoid had said to them, “Joseph Ledger of The United States Military on loan.” the American said, “James Doe.” The man in a Black and Purple vest, slacks and shirt had said, “Thomas Reynolds, but you can call me Toro, hot stuff.” he had said to Jacqueline with a wink, “Namor.” The last of them had said towards 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.
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.

9/24/1941, Men’s Quarters, Falsworth Manor
All of them had finished up and as they had done so, Triton and Namor had went and entered the tanks that had been 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?” he 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.” he had explained to them, “They attacked my home.” Namor had told them, staying quiet afterwards as he had looked to the others there, “It’s the right thing to do.” The Human Torch 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.
“I heard about Poland so I wanted to help.” He 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, Max had went and taken another pill for the night as they had all went to get ready for the night.

9/24/1941, Women’s Quarters, Falsworth Manor
Zarda had been going through the motions, practicing with her blade as she had noticed that there was Jacqueline watching them, “What?” Zarda had asked, seeing that She was watching, “Your people… they know how to fight?” she had asked, making Zarda nod at that, “It’s more of a past time for my people,” she had said, “No one had ever fought in a war for centuries.” she had said.
That had made the woman look towards her in confusion, “How can your people–?” “We were an isolated community, it was easy to go ahead and advance our society to a point where we did not feel the need for… darker impulses.” Zarda had told her, making Jacqueline sigh at that as she had went and removed the picture that she had with her from the case.
“Who are they?” Zarda had asked, noticing the photo had her and two men in it, “That’s my brother, Brian Falsworth, and his best friend, Roger Aubrey.” She had told Zarda who had looked at the photo of the two of them with curiosity, they seemed, close, VERY close, and it had made the Princess look, about to ask about it when John opened the door, “We’ll be working on team skills tomorrow.” he told them.
Hearing that, Jacqueline smiled and nodded, “See you then, Uncle.” She had said towards him as he had went and headed back in, “Your Uncle, you are close?” she had asked of her, “Yes, with father, Cousin James and my brother all out there, he’s the only family I have right now.” she had told Zarda who was curious, “What are your father and… Cousin James, doing?” she had asked.
Hearing that, Jacqueline leaned back to the wall, “Father is tasked with the security of Churchill, he’s The Union jack and with Uncle John he’s a pat of the program as well.” she had told Zarda, “Cousin James though is working in the Army right now.” she had explained, making Zarda nod, “And Germany?” she had asked of her host who had tensed at that, “She and Roger are together, that’s all anyone needs to know.”
That had made The woman more curious, but she had decided to stay quiet for now as the Utopian had went and gotten ready for bed, wondering what it was that they would be doing right now with each other as a team as her vision had shown the kind man that had come and showed her that there was pain outside of her home and how they needed to help in whatever way that they could.

Maximus was sipping some tea right now as the man had noticed that there was a car coming, making him look and see that there was a man that bore resemblance to John and Jacqueline which had made him raise an eyebrow, “Who the bloody hell are you?” The man had asked of him, making Maximus look, “Maximus Boltagon, one of the assets your brother had brought here, Lord Montgomery Falsworth.” he said to him.
That had made him curious as he had seen that there was Namor flying with James Doe who had revealed his true form, a green skinned being with pure black eyes and no visible nose or ears wearing a blue and white uniform had battles, his limbs extending and appearing almost like blades as he had went and tried to slice his trident but Namor had gotten out of his way.
The man had looked at them all and saw as Zarda was assisting as she had went and leapt up to slice him, but he had shifted into the size of a bird and went higher than them as The Human Torch had started to circle them both, putting the heat on as Montgomery had noticed that there was a man in yellow who was on the ground as stiff as a board as he had appeared asleep.
“I take it that you’re the reason for this?” he had asked, making the Inhuman shrug at that, “We’re separating ourselves to see how we can work.” he had told him as he had pointed, “Namor and The Human Torch are Combatants, Namor for Land, sea and air while The Torch is air mostly with Toro.” he had said, pointing to the man there, “And Zarda is combatant Land but can go sea.” he said, pointing to the woman.
“Triton, my cousin, is a combatant for Water, land if he’s equipped properly.” he had explained, “And Robert here is Combatant/Support for the land with Sk’ym’x being the same for all three.” he had told him, making Lord Falsworth look to him, “And what are you?” he had asked of Maximus who made his eyes glow, “I’m a support, psychic warfare and interrogation.” He had told him.
Hearing that, The Lord had thought, “Alright, good to know.” he had said to him, “I trust that I can receive updates from you?” He had asked him “In case my brother appears to be more than he is.” He had thought and Maximus had answered by only sipping his tea, wondering what the next part of the plan would be for them as he had went to go and speak to the others about their plans.

10/1/1941, Big Ben, London
Zarda had been surprised when they had been brought to the inside of the tower where they had seen that there were The Two Falsworths there, “Hello, Lord Falsworth.” Zarda had said out loud, smiling towards him as Toro had went to fly up, “Whoa! We’re ACTUALLY inside Big Ben!” he had said with a smile as The Human Torch cleared his throat, “Thomas, get down here.” he had asked.
Hearing that, the others had all see the chairs, the lockers with gear, “This will be your base of operations.” John had told them, “And when we need you out there, when they bring something to the table that we can’t deal with, you will be called and will move out as soon as possible.” he had said to them and hearing that, the group were confused, “I don’t understand, what sort of threats?” Joe asked.
That had made the two Falsworth’s drop the files before them and that had made the two of them see that the images that were there, showing a man with a red skull like head and there was also something else, there was a man in a metal suit, or maybe a robot, and there were others that had something off about them, some stronger looking, others monstrous, all of them so… strange.
“These are what some of our spies could gather.” John had said, “All of them having some sort of enhancement that allowed them to–” “You’re missing one.” Namor had said towards them, making the group all look, “Meranno, an Atlantean like myself, he was working with them.” he had told them, making the others see his furious expression and how he had seemed so ANGRY.
Montgomery had nodded at that, “Thank you, Namor.” he had said towards him, “Do you have a description?” he had asked, going and motioning for him wo follow while John smiled at them, “Let’s get to work.” he had said to them all as the group had looked at each other before they had all looked at each other before Zarda spoke, “Where do we start?” she had asked.

11/2/1941, The Royal Palace, Attilan
The members of The Royal Family had gotten an update from Sterilon and as they had seen that there was a report from Aireo, he had went and landed, panting as he had looked around at them, “I had been flying over Japan.” he had said towards them, making the group curious as they had seen that he had wounds, “Someone, summons healer!” Gorgon had ordered of them.
Hearing that, Mesili had went and dragged one towards them as he had spoken, “They had been attacking their people in Joseon.” he had told them, “When some of them saw me, they had all went and started to attack, I barely escaped.” he had said towards them and hearing that, they had all looked towards their king, “Black Bolt says to send a scout towards government, so that we can understand their motives.”
That had made them all look, “Should we send one of the North American Scouts?” Karnak had asked, making Black Bolt shake his head at that, “Black Bolt says to keep them in position, utilize others.” Medusa had said and hearing that, Aireo had nodded, all of them thinking on what they would be in facing in the future as The Royal Family hoped that the issue would not become worse.

12/7/1941, Pearl Harbor, Oahu
The Nurse had been on the Arizona, one of the nurses had called in sick and with that, they had looked to her for a replacement and as she had went and started to do the job she had been assigned, “Okay, one, two–” she started when there was a buzzing, making her confused as she had set the limb back in place, “Do you hear that?” she had asked as he had gasped in pain at that.
“What is it?” Nurse Dare had asked as the two of them had went and started to get up, both them and the soldiers there all worried as they had started to move now, the others all starting to get up now and as they had done so, the Inhuman had worried at everything before she had went and gotten up, her eyes being blinded for a moment as they had went and seen everything.
It was black dots in the sky with the other junior officers and as they had looked at everything, The group had all seen that there was something coming, “Incoming!” one of them shouted when they saw the bombs dropping, all of them starting to run as they had seen that there were Japanese with their markings as they had started to head to their batteries, but as they did so, Auran had headed to the others.
But as she had seen this, Auran had realized that there was one of them going and heading towards them, reacting, Auran had grabbed Dare and tossed her inside just as the explosive went off, hitting bow of the ship there and making the boat start to move, “Come on!” One of the soldiers shouted as three more bombs hit the ship now and that was when Auran saw it.
The last bomb, that one had hit close to the batteries now and as she saw it, the batteries were starting to go off on and were making the explosions go hard, and as they saw that, Auran was hit in the head, making her stumble before she had fallen into the water, fading into the black before she had faded into the black while everything that was around her had started to be destroyed.

12/8/1941, Temporary Morgue, Oahu
Auran had gasped awake, seeing that her chest had been cut open as the Medical Examiner had stared at her in surprise as she had looked at them then herself before going and starting to close herself up, “How are you–?” He had asked in shock, unable to think about an answer while she had spit out some of the salt water still in her system, and with that, the reborn woman looked at him now, “So, what happened?”
