Searching And Finding
1/1/1943, London, England
The Pilot had went and started to wake up, on the street and covered with a blanket which had made him confused and then smile as he had went and started to get up, The Prism going and starting to clean himself when there was somebody watching him, that had made him pause at that and look towards the man in question who had simply went and waved before he saw someone walk by him.
That was when Joseph had seen that the man in question had vanished now and that had made Joseph a bit confused, wondering what had happened when he had heard a voice, “Joseph!” Zarda had shouted, carrying Howard on her shoulder with a smile, “We’re heading back to the tower, would you care to join us?” she had asked and hearing that, the soldier had decided to follow for now.

Phaeder had taken a breath, looking towards the place he had just been, glad that Maximus or the one called Skymax hadn’t seen him as he had went and started to get up and look towards the information that he had been collecting, The one called Joseph had reminded him of that story that his son liked, the one about the competition with the Terrigen and the Prism.
It would have been useful to have acquired it, but oh well, there’s always going to be a situation like that as Phaeder had decided to go and talk to the men that he had formed a ‘relationship’ at this time, he had needed subjects and the man had went and started to get everything in order right now, closing his notebook and making sure that all of his clothes were English, at least until he was out of there.

2/10/1943, Hayling Island, Portsmouth
Maximus had been sitting in the chair, rubbing his temples right now as he had noticed that there was a new man before him and he had sighed at that, going and reading his mind now, he had sighed at that, “Wir haben einen anderen Grunzer gefunden, suchen Sie nach einem mit dem Nachnamen Hirsch.(We found another grunt, look for one with the surname Hirsch.)” he said.
The members there had started to nod at that, going and pulling him out of there before there was another that had been plopped on the seat, he was about to read their mind before seeing that it was an American, taking a breath, he had stood up, “Are you here to recall Joseph?” he had asked,d making the man give a look, “Probably not, you would have found HIM, not me.” he had said.
That had made the man smile as he had looked and seen that there was a Colonel Uniform and that had made him sit a bit straighter now as the man gave him a look as he had went and started to speak, “Back in 1942, we completed a project,” he had said towards the man, “Something to make us a group of Power Princes.” he had continued, making Maximus curious.
“But the lead designer, Abraham Erskine, is very stingy about who takes it.” he had said and hearing that, Maximus was curious, “And I heard that you can… ‘read’ people?” he had asked, making The Inhuman nod at that, “Good, I’m borrowing you until we get a few dozen.” he had said and hearing that, Maximus had went and popped a pill before looking, “When do we leave?” he had asked of him.

2/14/1943, Camp Lehigh, Wheaton
Maximus had some circular shades on and cautious as he had noticed that there was soldiers all around there, all of them marching and such, “General,” an older man had said as he had went and approached them, “And who is this?” He had said, “Doctor Erskine,” The Colonel, Chester Phillips, had said towards him, “This is Maximus Boltagon, he’s gonna help you with the screening.” he had said towards him and hearing that, the man looked towards him.
“Maximus Boltagon… Maximus The Mage?” he had asked, making the man give a look, “Oh?” he had asked, “My daughter, Esme, she met you at the island when you and your team were rescuing them from Dachau.” he had said and hearing that, the Inhuman had remembered, “Ah… she was smart, I liked her.” Maximus had said towards him as he went and popped a pair of pills in once more.
“Wh– What is that?” Abraham had asked of him, making Maximus look, “Medicine, it keeps my… my mind under control.” he had explained and hearing that, the two looked at each other and that had made the two of them look, “Mind explaining that?” Chester Phillips had asked of him, “I mean that I need the pills so that I am useful to The Allied forces.” he had told them.
That had made the pair of them confused at that before they had went and started to take a breath, “So, why don’t we go ahead and get you hunkered down, huh?” Abraham had asked of him and hearing that, Maximus had been more than happy to listen to that as he had followed the scientist towards the tent there, as they had went and entered the tent, looking around at everything before Abraham spoke.
“So then, your condition…” Abraham had said towards Maximus, “It’s not dangerous.” he had said, “As long as I have my pills, I will be fine.” he had said and hearing that, Abraham had smiled, “You seem like a good man, a good man who is struggling.” he had said and hearing that, Maximus had sighed, “I’ve been struggling for a long time now.” he had said.
That had made the man curious but didn’t ask, “I used to struggle for a long time.” he had said towards him, “I had struggled with the fact that I had helped a… a monster to make him worse.” he had said and hearing that, the Prince had nodded, “I know monsters.” he had said, and hearing that, the two knew that they had a kindred spirit before them that they would be happy to work with.

2/14/1943, Observation Base, Isle of Wight
Zarda and Joseph had been practicing with each other here before they had seen that there was an air raid, “Spectrum!” Zarda had said and hearing that, he had went and made a sling before throwing her towards one of the planes there, landing on top of it and as she had done so, the Utopian had drawn her sword and plunged it downwards and into the machine.
That had caused some screaming and so Zarda had tried to ignore it before going and running down it, as she had done so, Power Princess saw that there was one going and firing upon her, reacting, she had went and leapt to another one, struggling at that when she saw that there was the man who had drawn his pistol and went and fired at her, glancing off her helmet as she went and tried to climb up.
Taking a break, she had went and drawn her sword before going and slicing at the wing there, making the plane there start to descend as Zarda had went and leapt towards another only for one to hit her, almost getting shot but Zarda had went and made sure her shield was in the way as she saw that Joseph was there, going and opening fire upon the others there.
Zarda had smiled, relieved at that before noticing that there was a woman there, one that had been running towards Joseph before she had tackled him going and heading towards another plane and Zarda had went and headed towards the plane as well, going and leaping forward to face off against the woman that was there, cracking the whip that she had.
“Du bist also die Power-Prinzessin, ich bin die Kriegerin.(So then, you are The Power Princess, I am The Warrior Woman.)” She had said and hearing that, Zarda glared as se had went to ready her sword and shield towards her and that had made The Warrior Woman grin at that before she had went and shot out her whip to go and grab at her face, but Zarda raised her shield.
He had grabbed and pulled it away as Joseph had went and shot at her, making the woman go and leap off of the plane and towards another that was there, making the two of them look and see her there with a soldier who had went and crawled atop and handed her a pretty heavy machine gun that she had went and fired at them with, seeing that, the two of them had both looked before Spectrum got them off.
The pair of them had made some distance and as they had done so, Spectrum had went and started to open fire upon them and with that, the multiple planes had went and started to go down right now and with that, The Warrior Woman on her plan gave a grin as she fired a few more shot for what looked like fun, “Ich hoffe, das nächste Mal, wenn wir streiten, sind es nur wir Mädchen!(I hope next time we fight, it's just us girls!)”
That had made the two of them look towards her as the planes had started to leave the island, they had been able to face a few of them when they had gotten the chance, but now… now the two of them had been standing there, like a little star as they had went and started to descend, not going to attack, but ready for whatever mission they might face next there.

Jim Hammond and Toro had been watching them as the two most vicious of them, they had both seemed to be vicious but one was all smiles and the shorter one was always serious, as they had went and finished up their spar, the two of them had noticed them, “Hey, Jimmy,” the smiling one had said towards the serious one, confusing them both, “It’s those kids Max hung out with.” he had said.
That had made the serious one, Jimmy, nod at that, “Looks like it, Smiles.” he had said before offering his hand, “Sergeant James Howlett, this is Sergeant Victor Creed, my brother.” he had said, making the two of them smile, “Jim Hammond, this is Thomas Raymond.” he had said and hearing that, the brothers had went and started approach them with a grin.
“So, you liked what you saw?” Victor had asked with a grin and hearing that, the two looked at each other, “Yes, it looks like you’ve been in some scraps before.” Toro had said and hearing that, the two of them had looked at each other, “You could say that.” Jimmy had said, making the two of them curious at that before Jim had spoken, “Could you teach us a bit?” he had asked.
That had made the pair of them look at each other, “We don’t go easy,” Victor had warned, “Some of us have died.” he had said and hearing that, the two of them looked, “We’re all going to die if we don’t do our part.” Jim had stated as a matter of fact, hearing that, James and Victor had looked at each other before they had spoken, “Alright, let’s start with a fighting stance.” James had told them.

Gwenny Lou and Davey had both been walking when they had seen that Toro and Jim had been coming again and they had each looked like they had been beaten black and blue again, making them finally fed up, “Okay, WHAT is going on?” Gwenny Lou had asked of Toro had looked towards them with a black eye now, “Why you wanna kiss it better?” Toro asked, making a passing American scowl.
They had decided to ignore that right now as they had went and looked towards each other, “Who did this?” Gwenny had asked and hearing that, they had looked towards the members of The Devil’s Brigade, “Did they do this?” Davey had asked, ready to fight while the soldiers had greeted them like drinking buddies, “Hammond! We’ll see you and Tommy in The Ring, right?” one had asked.
“You betcha! I still owe Howlett!” Jim had said and hearing that, the man, Mulcahey, had went and walked away with the others, “Howlett?” Gwenny Lou asked, “Him and his brother, Victor, they’ve been training us in how to fight dirty.” Jim had said and hearing that, the two gave a look, “Could I join?” Davey had asked them, making Toro smile, “Sur, the more the merrier.”

Joseph was the only one besides Gwenny Lou and Davey had went and started to see the soldiers there, all of them out of uniform and grinning towards each other right now when they had seen James Howlett with Victor Creed, “Looks like we have Five of you now!” The older one had said, surprising them all at that, “Five?” Gwenny had asked as James spoke up.
“Our sister is more vicious than most men, we never underestimate dolls.” James had said and that had made Gwenny smile at that as she had went and taken off her yellow coat, “I would be honored to join.” she had said towards them, going and getting ready as they saw that there was some of them all looking pretty happy to see her and happy to get violet right about now with her.

2/21/1943, Big Ben, London
Zarda and The others had all been looking at each other before they had seen that there was Gwenny Lou, Davey, Toro and Jim coming in, all of them looking like they had been hurt badly but still fine, “What happened?” Zarda had asked in shock, going and checking on each of them and their injuries before she had noticed how they had seemed happy right about now.
“I won!” Gwenny had said, making her split lip start to bleed a bit more, “They had tried to take me down, but once I learned the rules, the one they put me against couldn’t stop me!” she had told them and hearing that, they had seen that the others were as happy or as excited as her and as they had noticed it, Triton grinned, “I take it that you all had a similar experience?” the Inhuman asked.
“Yes! Though I think those Devil’s were going a bit easy on us.” he had said before going and checking on his broken hand, the Prism going and fixing it for him, “This was easy?” Triton had asked of him while John Falsworth had went and entered with Montgomery, “I heard that some of you had been training with The Canadians.” Montgomery had said, “If you could call that training.” he had said.
They had looked at each other before Jim spoke, “I’m sorry, sir, it was my idea and–” “It was a good one.” Montgomery had told him, “I just wanted to warn you to watch out for all of them, they’re the sort that you have to be VERY careful with.” he had said and hearing that, they were all a bit surprised by it, not sure what was so wrong with them but decided to listen, for now at least.

Maximus had been working on his accuracy, not wanting to be a ‘spray and pray’ like some of the men called him, so he had practiced with the Thompson when The Prince had heard something behind him, making The Inhuman stop and turn to see that there was a woman there, “Margaret Carter, at your service.” she had said towards him, “Maximus Boltagon, though most call me Max.” he told her.
“And you can call me Peggy.” she had said and hearing that, Maximus had went and put down the rifle, looking towards her, “I take it that you’re the MI5 Agent loaned to The Strategic Science Reserve, correct?” Maximus had asked, “And you’re The one that was asked for to screen the men, correct?” Peggy had said towards him, “That is correct, and you’re the muscle making sure that they don’t try again.”
Peggy had seemed to get defensive at that, “And do you have a problem with that?” Peggy had asked, making Maximus frown, “My brothers fiance is a fierce fighter, my best friend is one of our best members of the Royal Guard,” he had went towards her, “Gender doesn’t define if you can fight, your skill does.” he had finished, making her like the sound of that as she stood by him.
“You’re not stable.” she had said towards him, “Plant yourself when you fire, it’ll increase your accuracy greatly.” she had said, making Maximus nod at that before he had went and tried to do as much, “Like this?” he had asked of her, “Exactly.” Peggy had said towards him and with that, he had went and opened fire on the target, getting more shots than he used to.
Seeing that, he had smiled before looking back at Peggy, “So then, how can I assist you?” he had asked of her, “We have a new group of candidates, The Doctor wants you to ‘screen’ them like usual.” she had explained and hearing that, He had nodded before going and walking, liking Peggy and hoping that they could be friends later on as the war develops.

2/22/1943, The Sub–City, Attilan
Gorgon and Karnak had been looking towards the Alphans that were there, all of them going and starting to go through their days, seeming to copy everything that they had been taught by The Inhumans, as they had seen this, the pair of them thought, “They have no focus, no purpose now,” Karnak had said towards his cousin, “It’s a situation we need to deal with.”
That had made Gorgon nod, “But we need to be careful, if we’re not, then Blackagar will assume we’re trying to enslave them instead of trying to integrate them.” he had explained and hearing that, Karnak had nodded before he had looked and seen that there was somebody there, it was Minxi who had followed them and was shocked at what they were saying right now.
“Minxi–” Gorgon had said and she had went and raised her hand, “Don’t!” she had snapped, making them both pause, a little worried right now as The Handmaiden had went and taken a deep breath, “Can I trust you not to abuse them? To do right and HELP them only, not try to do what M– what The Unspoken did?” she had asked of them and hearing that, Gorgon had spoken.
“We swear, we will not do anything like that.” he had told Minxi, making her give a smile, trusting them and as Karnak saw that, he spoke, “We’ll make sure of it.” he had promised, Gorgon seeing his statement towards her and thinking that it was nice that he was showing interest in her like that, maybe there was a chance that he could do something to speed that along as he wondered how the others were right now.

3/5/1943, Oahu, Hawaii
Auran had been at her post, as she had looked at the scenery that was there, The Inhuman had noticed that there was a Red Haired woman who had been approaching her, she had the physique of an Amazon, but her blood red iris and earrings that had looked to be the fangs of a animal, one that she had never seen before right now as she had spoken to Auran.
“Hello there!” The redhead had said towards her, making Auran get up and look down at her, “I’ve been looking for you!” the woman had told her, making Auran curious, “Are you from The Homeland?” Auran had asked, making the woman shake her head at that, “No, but I visited a few times with my brother.” The woman had told her, making Auran curious, thinking that only John Howlett had ever visited.
“What do you want?” Auran had asked of the woman had who went and patted her shoulders, looking her over before she had went and smiled, “I just wanted to see how my brother’s line had developed with you.” she had said, making Auran confused, “Your brother–? How old are you? Are you John Howlett’s sister?” she had asked of the woman who had went and chuckled at that.
“No, not that close.” The woman had said before she had went and offered her a coin, “If you ever wish to talk to your father’s family, search for a building with that insignia and tell them that Remus had called upon you.” The woman, now named Remus, had siad before she had went and started to walk away, as the woman had done so, Auran was even more confused.
She had never heard of a Remus before, she had no idea that there were more members of her family out and about, it had made her confused and a bit excited at the thought of meeting more of them, but there was also something more, and it made her wonder what else was hiding out around there, it had made Auran curious, and made her hope that others like her wouldn’t go after Maximus next.
