[letterstothemidnightsociety]

Alright, so if you've been following along with me, Supernatural season 3 starts out on a trio of episodes that are Really Fun, slides into some episodes that are Pretty OK, then takes a real nose dive into Bummersville. Hoo boy guys, I really hope that this season picks up. I mean, it won’t, but I can still dream. 2021 was maybe not the year to start watching this season. Fair warning.

The next three episodes for this season are just, like, real downers. First we get “Fresh Blood,” which, aside from the terrible title, starts out on a high note. Gordon (gross) somehow manages to catch up with Bela (HOW??) and threatens her if she doesn’t hand over the Winchesters. Bela, in all of her class and grace, won’t give them up because she has a high price point and Gordon is really lowballing her here. Just like, yes, ok, please stay forever, you’re amazing and I love you. And what a scene this is! You have two characters, one with a strict moral code (albeit one that allows for violence and winning at all costs) and the other with almost NO moral code, but an allegiance that can be bought with the best price and it’s such a fun back and forth until Gordon pulls out a gun. And then she pulls out her phone and just has Dean on speed dial and that’s maybe my fav part. Bela has run into the Winchesters twice and they maybe legit hate her but she’s very much like, oh yeah, my BFF’s the Winchesters, I love those idiots!

I love that we come back to this moment later in the episode when Bela, like, three days later, is like, Oh! I guess I should warn the Winchesters that some crazy guy is after them! She’s just so casual about it you kind of get the feeling that, even though technically Gordon was threatening her life, she doesn’t view him as A Threat. She gives the Winchesters a heads up just to be like oh yeah, you might want to watch out for this mild inconvenience, and she seems legit shocked when Dean freaks out. There’s this moment that plays across her face like, oh shit, did I...did I fuck up? And it adds a nice bit of depth to her character. She’s seems honestly worried, both for the lives of the Winchesters but also that Dean won’t like her anymore and that is just a charming bit of A C T I N G!

I am gonna miss her SO MUCH when she dies at the end of this season. WHY did we CANCEL HER???

But despite the fun beginning, this episode is about monsters and how people become monsters and how other people are probably the reason. Because our main baddie is a vampire who hunts to...well, listen if we look at the facts that he lays out in his monologue, it’s a little more tragic - he’s trying to replace the daughters that he lost hundreds of years ago, cool motive, still murder. In practice though, he goes around turning hot blonde coeds into vampires and then ?????? Who knows. I’d like to believe that this was a problem with the CW executives or maybe casting/directing and not with the writing, but it’s SPN and you really can’t be sure with anything. The fact is, this is a CW show from the early 2000’s and a lot of their extras are cast to type. And that’s maybe me exhibiting some girl-on-girl crime, but there are other episodes that did a much less blatantly gross job casting their extras/Very Special Guest Stars.

Anyway, the POINT of this guy is that he’s a monster because someone killed his daughter and he’s just been trying to fill that grief hole inside of him for centuries. This is not unlike Gordon, who ALSO has been trying to fill a grief hole that he’s had for decades, except he’s not killing people and resurrecting them as blood suckers, he’s just killing them. And then, when the Vamp decides to turn Gordon it’s a real sweet moment of comeuppance for like, a HOT second and then you’re like, awww dude, ya done f’ed up. That was a bad idea. You’ve made a HUGE mistake.

More importantly, our Vampire In Question finally runs into the Winchesters and get’s to say things like “I was desperate! You ever felt desperate? I've lost everyone I ever loved. I'm staring down eternity alone. Can you think of a worse hell?” and also “I just ... I didn't care anymore. Do you know what it's like when you just don't give a damn? It's like ... it's like being dead already.” and Dean’s v. much like, THIS IS TOO REAL ROY.

Sam may ALSO be feeling Too Real feelings because he is DONE dicking around with Gordon and honestly yes, I like this, this is good Sam development. It’s nice to know that Sam has a breaking point. And I admit I’m of two minds about this moment because 1) I love the idea of Dark!Sam this season and that maybe Sam’s decision to actually kill Gordon is just one step in that process but 2) I ALSO love the idea of Sam Lite finally having a breaking point and Gordon is IT. I don’t know which theory I like more in this scenario, but they are both good theories.

I think as much as this episode wants to draw parallels between the monsters and Dean (thank you artful editors), you can’t look at the “I’ve lost everyone I ever loved,” line and not think of Sam? Cuz he’s got one (1) person left in his life that hasn’t died horribly, so how desperate is he about to get through the end of this season? I’ve definitely been watching this season with eyes on all the ominous Dean foreshadowing, but the Sam foreshadowing is also there, just buried under the heavy weight of a thousand smulders and suicidal levels of denial.

And also, FUCK the tag on this episode! Guys, it is CUTE but it is also HORRIBLE. Dean starts teaching Sam how to fix the Impala and at first it’s all, “Oh! Adorable Brothers Being Brothers!” and I loved it but then I almost immediately hated it because you realize this is about making sure Sam can get along without him once he’s gone and Dean just accepts his own death with such casual ease that it’s just...INFURIATING!

This scene was rude and I HATE IT!

Cut to - “A Very Supernatural Christmas” Special!

Guys, I was so excited when I got to this episode. THIS is Classic Supernatural Shenanigans. Plus, you know a Holiday Special is the ultimate sign that this show has Made It, right? Or it could be a sign that they’re selling out, who knows, but I think we can say that at this point in the series, SPN is established enough to start having fun with their fans. That’s what this says to me. BUT THEN what we get is like...oh boy.

First - like, I’mma beat this horse to death, but what is WRONG with this FAMILY? John Winchester very quickly devolved into the sort of father that forgot about every single holiday and did not ever, even a little bit, make up for it. It’s not a surprise, but it kind of wrecked me seeing a flashback where Baby Dean is just so attached to a father who can’t be bothered to actually care for his children. I know he’s not in this episode because Jeffrey Dean Morgan was tied up in other projects, but the fact that John doesn’t show up at the end to button the flashbacks with a But then he DID show up for Christmas! just makes this plot line that more gutting. And despite Dean’s hero worship of their father, this is maybe the Christmas where Baby Sam stops believing in his own father. The only bright side to this is that it continues to enforce the fact that Bobby should have sued John for custody. Bobby should maybe STILL Sue for custody so that Dean at least would feel like someone wants him for once in his life, damnit.

And then we wrap this episode up with the Best Worst Christmas of all, because we see Sam start to...also?? accept that Dean is about to die? Cuz that’s what this episode is really about - Dean’s Last Christmas. And everything about that makes me ~ u p s e t ~.

So Sam decides to put his curmudgeonly grinchy attitude aside in order to make it a special day for Dean and ugh. UGH. UGHGHGHG. Season three is the worst guys, and I can’t believe I didn’t realize that until right this second now.

So let’s wrap this up with "Malleus Maleficarum", honestly an episode that is mostly forgettable until we get to, like, the last five minutes. Sure, witches and curses and selling your soul, woohoo whatever.

But then we get some real Ruby centric reveals and like, WHAT is happening?? First off, the scene where Ruby and Tammy have a moment is a real Moment. There is some baggage and tension here and it is heavy. And then Tammy drops the mic when she reveals that Ruby used to be human.

THEN, Ruby legit saves their asses by killing Tammy with a fancy magic knife. Ok, Dean does the actual killing, but Ruby brought the fancy magic knife. So between the hot and heavy tension with “Tammy” and her repeated attempts to keep the Winchesters alive, we’re left wondering what IS Ruby’s deal? I personally wonder how much of the show’s mythology the show actually has figured out at this point? Because interviews with Kripke definitely walk the line between “Oh we definitely have this whole thing worked out,” and “yeah, we’re sort of finding things as we go along,” which is maybe why it’s able to last as long as it does. More on that later.

Of course the big kicker is the final scene between Ruby and Dean. Dean is almost on board with Ruby at this point in the season, and much like his scene with the demon in “Sin City”, they share a kind of vulnerable moment together where Ruby admits that, yeah, she was human once and yeah, Hell will destroy you, body and soul, and yeah Dean’s worst fear will probably come true - he will become the thing he hunts, no ifs, ands or buts about it. And Dean knows that Ruby knows that Dean knows that there’s no way to save Dean from his fate, but they both agree that they can’t take Sam’s last ounce of hope away from him because, for both of them, Sam is their hope. Ruby and Dean both see the war happening around them and they know that with Dean gone, Sam’s maybe the last guy holding back the tide to save all humanity.

Which, honestly? Bull shit. Do you know how many hunters are out there? Neither do I, but this season seems to indicate that there are a LOT. We have barely scratched the surface on the hunter community and it’s a damn shame that they are all weirdo loners because there is a war going on. You know what works great in a war? An ARMY. Buncha mentally unstable, martyr-complex ijits who can’t put their differences aside for one damn MINUTE so that maybe, JUST maybe, the could actually defeat the evil they’ve spent their entire lives dedicated to fighting. And if Ruby and Dean wanted to help Sam, what they should probably do is get him plugged in to that community. I do believe that of all they backasswards, self-obsessed, painfully anti-social crazies out there, the Winchesters are THE WORST.

Listen tho, this was like, a solid scene between these two. Just a lot of work goin' into this and it paid off.

Anyway, back to the mythology for a hot second - This sort of loosey-goosey stumbling into your own world building is probably another one of those things that you’ll only really get in a show with this many episodes per season? It’s that room to play and experiment and just make stuff up as you go along. I think the slow drip method of releasing episodes ALSO helps in this scenario because you’re able to see what fans are reacting to in almost-real time. When viewers are binging episodes, I think you're less likely to see what specifically they’re reacting to and more wholistically they’re reacting to. And that’s not to say you won’t see those specific things that they like/love eventually, but by the time you get there, your season’s been produced in its entirety and you’ll have to bear that in mind for (hopefully) next season. But with SPN, they were writing and producing the show at the same time that some of the episodes were airing. That’s why they were able to make decisions on the fly, based on what fans responded to. And definitely by this point in the show, there was a sizeable and vocal fan base that made their feelings VERY well-known. We’re only in season three, but they’ve already had a number of con appearances and a pretty active online presence. That kind of feedback has got to be helpful, from a writing perspective, but it also allows for things like characters getting cut because nobody liked them for some dumb reason. BUT, if you’re fighting to stay on the air for 100 episodes or longer, responding to fan reactions is what’s gonna do it and that’s a fact.

BML Livestream Reaction 6/9/2020

To my lovely H.H. viewers, listeners, readers:

Wow! The livestream today on Ashley's channel was incredible. The fandom raised more than 60,000 dollars for the Black Lives Matter charity. (I was one of the unnoticed ones who donated). I'm just as amazed as the show staff at the sheer generosity and talent of this fandom. There were a lot of hilarious moments and very good improvs as well. (ex. Bosco saying in Alastor's voice: "I'm an unstoppable death machine!" And all the "Oh Ashley," running gags.

Onto theories and clip reveals:

There appear to be at least five episodes for Helluva Boss (maybe) and perhaps for Hazbin Hotel as well. When would episode 12 + come out? 2027? I'll happily wait if I can live and last that long.

The first clip revealed showed Blitzo taking to Loona, him saying "have a treat" and then eating the biscuit. Millie appears to be there with Moxxie, drawing a pentagram symbol on a wall. Perhaps a gateway to the human world?

Blitzo (yells at a shy imp): "You set fire to my fucking office in front of a goddamn client you dipshit, now someone please tell me that hocus pocus book is still intact?"

Loona (holding the Satanic book): "Our only ticket to the living world? Grabbed it."

Blitzo: "That's why you're my favorite, Loony! You get a treat."

Loona: "Ew. Stop."

Blitzo eats a treat with a happy look on his face. An imp in a dress stands in the background. Millie draws a pentagram on the wall.

Blitzo (to Loona) "Oh stop it, I get enough of that from my therapist. Now lets get to it, gang!"

They prepare to enter Earth.

Second clip: We are introduced to Loo-Loo Land, an apple-themed circus/amusement park. Loo-Loo is another term for sh*t or bathrooms, so a fitting name for one in Hell. Loo-Loo is a large creepy apple mascot who appears overly cheerful toward the imps and presumably Octavia, who's not impressed. Stolas then takes Blitzo to the rides. He can be seen in a themed outfit, with an apple on his shirt, sorts, and a balloon in his hand. Lucifer has a bar/land called Loo-Loo Land that the theme park is a bad spinoff of it.

Millie (both wear glasses): (Moxxie) "Come on, it's fun! You've never been here?" Moxxie: "No. Theme parks always disturb me. Especially (shakes) the mascots."

A creepy mascot dressed as a red apple appears behind them. He's a red apple with a missing tooth in a wide grin of teeth and one of the eyes hanging from string.

Loo-Loo (in a southern accent) "Well, hey there!"

Millie and Moxxie scream.

Loo-Loo: "I'm Loo-Loo! Welcome to Loo-Loo land!"

Stolas talks to his daughter Octavia by a dinosaur carousel.

Stolas: "Look, Via, it's Loo-Loo!"

Octavia is not impressed with the childish theme park and the lack of more modern rides and features.

Octavia (British accent): "I have a question."

Loo-Loo: Well ask away, little girlie! (Goofy laugh)"

Octavia: "Is it true that this theme park is really a shameless spin-off of Lucifer's more popular Loo-Loo World?" (Disneyland vs Disneyworld)

Loo-Loo: No."

Octavia: "This place reeks of insecure corporate shame."

Stolas: "Why don't we go check out the rides."

Third clip showed what appears to be a rival company to Immediate Murder Professionals. It's called CHERUB, consisting of flying singing sheep with halos and angel wings. It can be assumed that they come from Heaven. Do they save lives (like the alternate E.L.F. in Heavenuva Boss) or do they grant miracles while scamming people? One things for sure, they are super cute. Hmm...maybe they are part of brainwashed sheep who want to spread Heaven's culture so others can mindlessly follow it? Or maybe just as a way to bring down I.M.P. to prove that they can be the best demon killers around? Blitzo blows up a TV in frustration. Now I.M.P. has to find a way to save their company and stop their rivals.

Based on the song, they save people's lives on Earth! (Guess what Hazbins: I thought of the AU E.L.F. characters before this was cool!)

If there is a rival company in Heaven to I.M.P. in Hell, it can only mean one thing: a (Haven) hotel in Heaven may also exist. (Except it would be used to give angels freedom to cause trouble and sin/to be themselves in defiance to the strict rules.)

The sheep angels save people from a car accident, and lift up a rock from a crushed person. They do the work for free, as one of them denies money. With I.M.P. killing humans and C.H.E.R.U.B. saving people, it brings the world in balance. (Though poor sheep: too many people are dying from Covid 19.) Both of them do their part to influence the living world (strangely enough, the Hazbin Earth humans seem accepting of the random creatures who arrive and then leave.

C.H.E.R.U.B. saves people so they have a chance to go to Heaven. I.M.P. kills people for money so the humans wind up in Hell.

Christ's Heavenly Efficient Revivers Under Bless

Christ's Healing Employees Revive Unlimited Bodies

Creators Host Efficient Revival Under Belief

Creating Happy Earth Routines U Believe

Sheep/faun one female: "Luckily for you..."

Sheep two male: "There is something we can do..."

Both: "We can help you feel alive, so you can save some time!(waste and drive?)" (two sheep stand beside a baby angel and all smile)

"Cause here at C.H.E.R.U.B., we can save your honey butt from dying violently. " C.H.E.R.U.B. (R mark) "We never even ask a fee." "Because good people spread the love, "And we're here for all above. "We do the paperwork for you "And the heavy lifting too." (Female sheep is shown exhausted in a pile of paperwork and later shown lifting a boulder from a man.) Both sheep witness a dying man from a car accident and wipe the scene away. "So sit back and let us bless a soul... for you." (all three sing). "Oh we, are the C.H..."

Blitzo blows up the TV in anger.

Random names: The cherub is Blitzo's opposite, Millie and the female sheep and Moxxie and the male sheep.

Blitzo's name is German for lightning. Moxxie means aggressive energy. Millie means mild strength/industrious

Donner= German for thunder Jalen= peace Ardel = industrious

Theories based on the song: 1. Heaven has animal-like Zoophobia characters like Hell 2. C.H.E.R.U.B. saves lives while I.M.P. kills them, thus keeping the world in balance. 3. The cherub leader would be Blitzo's rival. Male sheep vs Moxxie, female sheep vs Millie 4. If I.M.P. had their way, everyone would be dead. If C.H.E.R.U.B. had their way, the earth would be overpopulated. 5. C.H.E.R.U.B. have access to Heaven and Earth. They probably use the Bible to access the living world. 6. C.H.E.R.U.B. would save anyone, even criminals. 7. C.H.E.R.U.B. might have another Loona counterpart. 8. Could I.M.P. and C.H.E.R.U.B. have access to all three realms?

Clip number four: Blitzo and Stolas talk in bed. Stolas goes under the covers and stares seductively at him. He gets the idea to take Blitzo to a Harvest Festival with him as a bodyguard. Blitzo gets suspicious, claiming he won't go if Stolas uses him for sex and his purposes. Soon, Blitzo decides to come along. Stolas then says "sorry about you leaving behind your clients," while Blitzo retorts "Oh fuck my clients!" Best line. Stolas' wife will not be happy when she hears of Stolas and Blitzo's relationship.

Stolas (smokes a cigarette): " It's shocking to it to be seen, Blitzy. My grimoire is incredibly vital. And it isn't supposed to be let out by little imps like yourself." He puts out his cigarette on Blitzo's horns and pinched his cheek. Blitzo sighs and shoves him off. Both appear to be topless.

Stolas: "The Harvest Moon is a very special occasion. It's been my annual duty to celebrate it in the Ring of Wrath. It's a charming little festival with games and music..."

Blitzo: "A wrath ring, huh? My employees are from there. Haven't really been, but it sounds like a place of imprints."

Stolas: "Oh! Why don't you all accompany me to the festival as our special guests?! I'll give you all... (goes under the covers and lies near Blitzo's privates. "...special access." (chuckles)

Blitzo: "Look I told you, we're not bodyguards, alright? It was a one time thing we did and guess what? We did it badly!"

Stolas stands up with the cover over his head.

Stolas: "I'm simply offering a fun work-free day of fun! I feel quite safe at the Harvest Festival. I go every year. Nothing has changed."

Blitzo: "Okay, look if you promise this is not some fuck-fest invite... it does sound like it could be fun. Alright, I'll run it by the others. It sounds like we can work without the book anyway."

Stolas: "I do hope to see you there. I'm sorry your clients will have to wait."

Blitzo: (waves his hand) "Oh fuck my clients!"

We are introduced to new characters: Loo-Loo the creepy apple mascot, the shy imp, owl princess Octavia, "Melodia" the queen, the CHERUB sheep and Robo-Fizz, a robotic jester demon colored black, yellow, white, and light pink-red. It can be assumed that he is red and black and dangerous in his true form. Could Hell's circus be one big conspiracy? Anything is possible in the inferno.

Thank you to all who supported Vivzie's charity and those who continue to show their love for the show and concern for what's going on in the world. Protests, Police, Pandemic, Personal Rights. I donated earlier and I do all I can to keep the fandom together, trying to tapper down the "shipping wars." I don't feel like a hero at all, but I feel good that I'm showing support.

My work is unknown in comparison to all the marvelous Charlastor fanfictions out there:

MuseValentine's "Smiling Man" Angelus19's "Taxidermist"

and many more.

Please don't forget to show support to Hazbin Madness and Radio Hazbin on YouTube. Some people may disagree with me on this, but I think those two voice actors and comic dubbers have better potential than Markapiler and JackdaSepticeye. Yes, the latter two may be famous and well-known, but in my opinion, only HalusaTwin and InSaiyans capture the uncasted Lucifer and Lilith so well. A king and queen of the fandom.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVkr2V_Y-sIzBH01AbPcufw

But don't fret. This fandom has given me ideas that keep skyrocketing through my head and into the world. I've made fanfictions since 2014 and have only made more after being exposed to DBZ and H.H. My long projects seem to take months to update but as long as I'm alive, inspired and have free time, I won't cease doing what I love. Indeed, Viv's words inspired me toward the end of the stream. She said to a person who donated a lot and the viewers to share their creativity with the world, as it can inspire others. Vivziepop is a role model for me, as are so many of my friends/content creators (artist Ady Laine, theorist BlueRaven666, musician Ashboyo, my close friend Sumera Paleema (DBZ artist) and many others.

Very soon, I'll be expanding upon my rewrites/remixes of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss. Indeed, the future episodes may be closer than we think!

Stay safe out there and treat each other well.

Peter’s Emergency Contact

Would you look at that! I finished this earlier than I thought I would. I did this last night instead of studying for my test... Oh well.

Hope you all enjoy this!

part 1/ part 2/ part 3

The interview portion of this is based off of this post.

Words: 1670

Comments: I don’t really watch news interviews or read any actual newspapers so sorry my interpretation of them is shit.

Happy reading!

Part 2

Tony’s sitting in his lab with the article projected in front of him, clear as day:

Tony Stark has a son?

New information has come to light suggesting that Tony Stark, owner of Stark Industries and superhero legacy Iron Man, has a son. A source, who chose not to be named, came forward to claim that they personally heard Stark call a teenage boy “his kid” and the boy call Stark “dad”.

Because the boy is a minor, his name cannot be released to the public.

He isn’t quite sure how this happened, but May insinuated that it had something to do with his meeting at Peter’s school yesterday.

He’s pissed off, because it doesn’t take a genius to figure out who the teenage boy in the article is.

He hasn’t heard from Peter yet, and he doesn’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. The kid is in school and Tony is terrified about what will happen if this gets too far.

“TONY!” The man jumps at the sound of his wife’s voice.

“Shit.” He was so busy worrying about Peter that he didn’t even think about what would happen when Pepper found out, “Yes dear?” He calls out to the redhead barreling down the stairs.

She holds up a newspaper and Tony cringes, “What the actual hell is this, Tony? What did you do?”

His hands fly up in a defensive manner, “I swear! I didn’t do anything!”

Pepper raises an eyebrow at him and crosses her arms, “You have to forgive me for not believing you.”

Tony sighs and puts his head in his hands, “Peter was in trouble at school because they thought he put my name down on a mandatory form as a prank. They didn’t believe May either when she tried to clear it, so I went down to set it straight.”

The anger leaves Pepper’s face and is replaced with understanding, “And he called you ‘dad’.”

“Apparently I called him ‘my kid’ but I don’t remember doing it.”

“Probably because you do it all the time. You are basically his dad.” Pepper steps forward and runs a hand through her husband’s hair.

Right then Tony’s phone goes off, but he doesn’t make a move to answer it, instead choosing to feel his wife’s fingers carding through his hair.

He and Peter had that in common.

The moment is brutally interrupted by FRIDAY, “Boss, you need to answer your phone.”

He grunts, “Why?”

“It is Peter calling.”

Immediately he jumps from his spot and grabs his phone.

“Peter?”

“MISTER STARK,” Tony has to jerk the phone from his ear because of the pitch Peter’s voice is currently at, “I’M SO SORRY I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CAREFUL I DIDN’T KNOW THAT SOMEONE WOULD-”

“Woah woah woah kiddo, slow down there.. Are you talking about the story?”

“YES EVERYONE HAS SEEN IT AND SOMEONE LEAKED MY NAME AND OH MY GOD WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO MISTER STARK,”

“Peter, calm down kid. Someone leaked your name?”

He hears Peter take a breath, “Yeah, and now nobody at school will leave me alone. They’re even harassing Ned and MJ.”

Well fuck.

“Okay, take a few deep breaths for me. I’m gonna have Happy pick you and May up and bring you to the compound so we can figure this out. Pepper knows and I’m sure she already has a few ideas in mind,” He looks up to her hopefully and she rolls her eyes but nods.

“Okay, okay yeah. That works.”

“Good. Don’t worry about it, kid. We’re gonna get through this.”

-------

Honestly? Tony has never been more nervous for a interview in his life. Probably because this one doesn’t affect him as much as it will Peter.

The day that Tony had sent Happy to rescue Peter from school, he, Pepper, May, and Peter sat in the common room to talk about the options they had to get ahead of the rumors that had begun to contort and change into other disgusting theories.

So after two hours of talking and deliberating, they had come to a conclusion.

And now here Tony was, about to begin a live interview with ABC News, and he was terrified.

But right before he can spiral into a panic attack Peter walks up to him, squeezes his hand and whispers, “I’m nervous too.”

Tony shoots a look at the kid next to him, but Peter isn’t looking at him.

“We don’t have to do this-”

“No,” Peter interrupts, “I want to do this.”

Tony huffs out a long breath and throws an arm around the teenager’s shoulders, “You’re gonna be stuck with me after this, you know.”

Peter smiles, “Maybe I want to be.”

Tony feels a warmth spread through his chest. He pulls Peter into a hug, kisses his hair and whispers, “I couldn’t have asked for a better son.”

Right then Pepper approached the two.

“They’re ready whenever you are.” She fixes the microphone on Tony’s shirt, then Peter’s.

May walks over and gives Tony a hug, and for a moment he doesn’t respond because he definitely wasn’t expecting that. But when he recovers he wraps his arms around her, “Thanks for raising the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

May pulls away and she has tears in her eyes, “You know, I used to hate you.”

Tony chuckles, “Believe me, I know.”

May looks at Peter who’s currently chatting with Pepper, “But I can’t hate the person that put the light back in my kid’s eyes,” She looks back at Tony, a tear falling from her face, “After Ben, I wasn’t sure I’d ever see him light up like he used to. But then you came along and took him under your wing. You made sure he was safe. Protected. And you’ve done your damn best to keep him alive while he goes out there catching bad guys. You even moved heaven and hell and manipulated time and space to bring him back from the dead.” She pauses to take a steadying breath, “So really, I can’t thank you enough, Tony.” She sniffs.

Tony reaches up and wipes away the few tears that have made their way down the woman’s face, “I know he’s not biologically mine, but I love him like he is. That makes him family. You too, May. Family sticks together.”

She laughs, and playfully nudges his shoulder, “For all intents and purposes, he pretty much is your son.”

Pepper signals Tony to get a move on, so he flashes another smile at May and quickly wipes away the moisture from his eyes and clears his throat from the emotioned balled up in it.

Tony walks to the chair designated for him in front of multiple cameras, microphones, and false lighting.

A man next to the camera begins to speak, “And we’re live in three,”

He looks to see Peter, Pepper, and May smiling at him.

“Two,”

He takes a deep breath.

“One!”

“Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in. I’m David Muir. Tonight we have a special guest with us, Tony Stark, who’s here to give us an exclusive interview. Thank you for being here, Mr. Stark.”

“Thank you for having me, and please, just Tony. Mr. Stark was my father.”

David nods, “Alright Tony. So for the past few days there have been stories and speculation surrounding the rumor that you have a son.”

Tony nods.

“Now first the claim was that this kid called you ‘dad’, and you called him your ‘kid’. But once his name was leaked, more claims came in stating that this kid is your personal intern. There are even a few photos of the two of you out in New York City.”

Tony folds his hands, “Yes. So, I’ll just get this out of the way immediately. He is my son, and his name is Peter.”

“Peter’s a teenager, correct?”

“Yes, he’s sixteen.”

“Have you always known about him? Or has he been a secret this whole time?”

“It’s an interesting story actually,” And just as planned, Peter interrupts the interview by walking in front of the cameras, effectively blocking Tony.

“Oh I love this story!” Peter exclaimed. Tony looks at Peter, then at David as Peter grabs the hidden chair, “Hang on, I’m gonna pull up a chair.”

“Pete, what are you doing?”

“Oh, I’m just joining in on the fun. I was bored.”

“Now, Pete, we talked about this. You can’t just walk in on my interviews.” Tony wraps an arm around Peter’s shoulders.

“But I wore your glasses and everything!” He motions to his face where a cheap pair of yellow/orange glasses that resemble Tony’s pink tinted ones sit on his nose.

“Where did you even get those? You didn’t have them on when we left.”

“I hid them in the car.” Peter was smiling like a child.

“Right.”

“Sorry, dad.”

“As I was saying,” Tony began the story again, “Peter is incredibly smart, his IQ rivals mine. So I chose him to be my personal intern when he was 15. His aunt came to me several months afterwards to tell me that I was his biological father, and that she had proof. Of course I didn’t believe her, so I ran a quick test and what do you know? It’s a boy.”

“So you’ve only known him for a little over a year?” David asked.

“Correct, but even before I knew he was my son we had already developed a sort of, I don’t know,” Tony twirls his hand in the air, “Father-son relationship.”

“Now is Peter going to inherit Stark Industries?”

Tony nods, “Yes. Stark Industries, Iron Man, all of it.”

“Woah, I get the suits?” Peter mused.

Tony pauses, “I change my mind,”

“No take backs!”

Tony rolls his eyes and squeezes Peter’s neck, “You’re gonna give me a heart attack one day, squirt.”

“Well you’re already going gray.” Peter smirked at the camera.

Tony’s jaw drops, because that wasn’t in the script.

“You little [CENSORED].”

Halloween Carnival

Chapter 1

Pierre’s excited for Halloween! But of course there’s work to do so he can’t get too carried away with festivities. Minori baked cookies and they want to hand them out. Minori jokingly tells Kyoji to not steal a bite.

Michio tells Rui and Jiro that they should get going too. Rui and Michio are both in their costumes, while Jiro is still in his normal attire.. He says he’s house-sitting for the day and Rui’s like, ‘that’s boring! Let’s enjoy Halloween together~!’, while Michio’s all ‘plz don’t hesitate Yamashita-kun, let’s get Producer to work something out’

Chapter 2

There’s no spare costumes for Jiro! He carved plenty of jack o’lanterns and apparently has a knack for them. There’s bonus pay for cast today and suddenly Jiro is interested in helping..

Chapter 3

Well... S.E.M managed to find a costume after all! But Michio’s a bit hesitant to tell Jiro about it... It’s a costume for sure... a frog kigurumi. Rui's excited to see Jiro in it. Jiro suggests maybe he could just go as a mad scientist since he already has the labcoat.

Chapter 4

Rui suggests splattering the labcoat with blood for more impact. Jiro is hesitant and doesn’t think Michio will approve but he lets Rui gets his way, however, he ends up looking more like a bloodied corpse than mad scientist....

Chapter 5

It’s about time for the parade. Jiro gets ruled out of the parade because he’s just a mess. He offers to sit out but Michio says Jiro’s presence is essential for the event’s success. Michio hands him a bag full on candy that he wants him to hand out to kids.

Chapter 6

Pierre’s undecided on what costume would be good for the event; his orange Froggly suit or his pumpkin outfit:

Minori: “I think it’s nicer if you don’t wear the kigurumi... We can see Pierre’s face that way.” Kyoji: “I agree, I prefer you out of the kigurumi.” Pierre: “Got it! Then I will wear this costume today! Wait a min, I go change!!” Minori: “Pierre’s honesty is nice, isn’t it.” Kyoji: “He’s a bit too upfront, I can’t help but be a bit embarrassed when I see” Minori: “Fufu...... Kyoji also has a cute side.”

Chapter 7

Pierre has finished changing and finds Minori by himself, Kyoji went to get a drink. Minori comments that Pierre looks good in anything. Kyoji returns and asks about Pierre’s kigurumi - there was someone who wants to use it. Pierre says it’s fine but he wonders if it’s too small. Kyoji says to leave it up to Producer.

Chapter 8

Pierre: “Who was using my Froggly costume?” Kyoji: “It seems like it wasn’t used after all.” Minori: “Come to think of it, I didn’t see your Froggly kigurumi at the venue.” Pierre: “A pity. I always can’t take photo. Being side-by-side next to Froggly.” Minori: “I see, since you’re always inside of it yourself.” Pierre: “Yeah! When I wear Froggly costume, everyone smiles so I love. But, I can’t see myself…..” Kyoji: “Even if you say that… It’s not like just anyone can pull it off like you.” Pierre: “It’s okay! Kyoji is kind, thanks for worrying.”

Chapter 9

Producer came around and gave Pierre a jack o’lantern. There’s a bunch of them all over the place and they comment how it takes time to carve each one. Kyoji seems amazed that they’re all hand carved. They decide to use the lantern in the parade.

Chapter 10

Kyoji: “The position of this bolt is worrying..... Maybe I should speak with the makeup staff a bit.” Pierre: “Minori...... Kyoji is, getting more and more scary......” Minori: “Looks like it..... It’s good that he’ll scare the guests, but.....” Pierre: “Before, met Kyoji in hallway. Was surprised, wanted to run.” Minori: “Let’s keep it between us....” (Kyoji turns to them in full costume) Kyoji: “Hm.... What are you two talking about?” Pierre & Minori: “Uwah, nothing at all!!”

Chapter 11

Kyoji: “Happy Hallowe--......en...... Ah...... Ahh...... The kids ran away.......” Pierre: “Kyoji...... Sorry, I also scary......” Kyoji: “.......Maybe we need to cool it?” Pierre: “That’s it, smile, smile! It probably okay if we smile!” Kyoji: “Y-you think so? Let’s give it a test then......” Pierre: “UWWAAAAAaaHhh!? You became more scary!!” (Pierre runs away) Kyoji: “Pierre ran away too!? ........Am I that scary.......?”

Chapter 12

Kyoji still has a lot of candy to hand out. He’s thinking, wow, he sucks, and that it’s just like the first part-time job he had.

Pierre ran to Minori and they talk about Kyoji. It seems that even though the children are scared of Kyoji they seem to be having a lot of fun; Pierre thinks it was also like that for when he was in Froggly’s kigurumi. They then spot some children hiding in the corner.

Chapter 13

Kids keep running away from Kyoji and he’s not getting anywhere with his candy giving. Kyoji trips and Minori suddenly pops up to catch him. Kyoji was pushed on his back and asks if it was Minori, but it turns out it was some children nearby waving at them. The kids were all making fun of Kyoji but he was completely unaware; they weren’t running away from him because he was too scary but because he’s a loser they were having fun. Now that Kyoji knows he’s more determined than ever to give them candy. Minori says it’s wonderful that Kyoji acts like such a kind older brother.

Chapter 14

Baaaaack to S.E.M!

Rui’s giving instructions to Jiro on where to place the jack o’lanterns. Jiro is struggling and asks Rui to help since he’s older than his 50 year old self, but Rui says it’s Jiro’s job so he can’t interfere. After he’s done with the current area Michio has another job for him - cue Jiro crying inside.

Chapter 15

Michio asks Rui to explain his outfit.

Rui: “I’m a red devil! So cool, right? All the girls in the venue can’t take their eyes off me!” Michio: “I see, then, what’s your reasoning for choosing that outfit?” Rui: “There’s no reason! Just an inspiration!”

Michio thought he could’ve used Rui as a reference for why one choses to wear a certain outfit but since Rui had no reason.. Rui asks why Michio chose the vampire outfit and his reason was that because he was poor in expressing himself facially he thought it was the best solution. Rui tells him that he thinks his vampire is the coolest! and Michio’s like, thanks, this is the fruits of my research on Halloween.

Chapter 16

Later on Rui goes to the waiting room and finds Michio there. Apparently people haven’t been approaching him so he went back to read his research notes. Rui seems amazed that there’s something Michio isn’t good at. He spots a bottle of fake blood in the room, wondering where it could’ve came from (sure Rui), and suggests Michio put some around his mouth. Michio quickly refuses and Rui’s disappointed, saying that Michio would surely be popular with girls if he did.

Chapter 17

Rui’s is almost ‘sold out‘ of candy and is refilling his stock. He asks Jiro, who’s hanging around in the waiting room, if he’s playing truant but Jiro says he was just doing as Producer asked and carved pumpkins. Rui complements him and says they’re carved like a true pro.

Chapter 18

Michio is directing Jiro with placements of a jack o’lanterns, giving precise instructions of 3cms to the right, a 5 degree angle etc. Jiro complains that going right down to the cm won’t make a difference in the overall mood, but Michio is all, ‘what are you saying Yamashita-kun!! Have you never heard of the golden ratio!!’ Jiro says that does know of it... sorta.. not really.. and Michio takes this as the perfect opportunity to lecture Jiro about the golden ratio.

Chapter 19

Michio gets ready to practice for what he’s been studying for; the act of scaring people for entertainment (or something to that effect). Jiro says that Michio is really a hard to understand guy with strange tastes. Rui says he got a headache from looking at Michio’s scribblings on the whiteboard. They tell Michio to don’t go overboard but he tells them not to worry. He suggests that they all gaining new knowledge of everyday together but they flat-out refuse his offer.

Chapter 20

Michio: “Theoretically, this conduct should emit great joy from children...... nevertheless....... Why are the children not approaching around me.......” 

Seems like Michio is having problems, but by Rui’s observations Michio is actually unknowingly popular with girls. Rui asks Michio if he’ll take his lesson and Michio agrees.

Chapter 21

Michio: “Miss, if it’s alright with you, would you allow me to suck a little bit of blood?”

...aand that was what Michio learnt from Rui lol.. Michio ponders how his own research was insignificant but Rui says it’s fine because the girls (totally red-faced) enjoyed themselves.. Michio promises next year he’ll complete his theory.

Chapter 22

Minori: “Here, this is Pierre’s share of the cookies to hand out.” Pierre: “Wooow, there’s lots. I want all the guests to eat!” (Pierre runs off) Kyoji: “Minori-san, is this my portion? Hmm, these look different from the rest.” Minori: “Aahhh, those are the wrong ones. Kyoji’s share is over here. Here you go.” Kyoji: “These look like delicious cookies. I’ll work hard to hand these out.” Minori: Phew, that was a bit too close. My present to Pierre and Kyoji almost got exposed. Hm, if I leave them lying around someone might eat them. I’ll have to hide them.”

Chapter 23

Kyoji goes to consult Minori because he’s having trouble with kids running away from him again, but he actually just frightens the hell out of Minori who was looking for a place to hide the cookies. Minori says he’ll cast magic on Kyoji ~☆ Suddenly the place smells of flowers and Minori explains it’s rose oil he extracted himself. Minori asks if his magic worked and Kyoji’s just all, “er.... yeah I think something happened....”

Chapter 24

Parade’s almost over but they're still people just coming in. Pierre hands out candy to them, Minori prepares flowers for them all. Pierre asks for a flower too but Minori laughs and says he has a special present for him later. 

Chapter 25

Kyoji: “Phew.... Are we all done? ....... It was fun but exhausting...... I’m starving.....” Minori: “Good work today. It was fun, wasn’t it? By the way, I have some cookies for you, how about it?” Kyoji: “Seriously? I should’ve known. You’re always so thoughtful.” Minori: “You’re not getting more by flattering me. You can eat them back in the waiting room.” Kyoji: “Thank you. Its been a while since I’ve had cookies....” (Kyoji goes off with the cookies Minori made him and Pierre) Minori: “Now then, it’s probably time Pierre wants a snack. Where did he go...... I wonder if he left any hints.” (Minori goes off to find Pierre)

Fantastic Four issue #1

Note: This is an idea for a pilot episode for a Netflix series to bring the Fantastic Four into the mcu.

Cast: Ben Grimm/ The Thing: Mark Wahlberg Reed Richards: John Hamm Sue storm: Sarah Gadon Johnny Storm: Special guest:

Tony Stark: Robert Downey Jr

Episode one starts with a black screen

Stark: Hey Buddy C'mon! (Snapping finger)

Screen changes to a luxury spa like room. The camera looks to a sliding glass door that lead to a balcony. The camera looks over to Tony Stark, whose sitting in a metal chair with a plastic seat and back. He was leaning forward looking the direction of the camera.

Stark: Ahh. Welcome back to the land of the living. (Sits back and puts left leg over right leg.)

Reed: Tony…… What?….. What’s going on?

Stark: You are very lucky my friend. Do you remember anything?

Reed: Yeah we….. Ben, Johnny, Sue, and I went up to the space station to study a solar storm. Ben went to get ready to take samples and (Scene flashes for a moment. You see purple dust flying around a space station, Ben Grimm being tossed through space. An open bay door on the station with Johnny Storm on the floor being pinned down by the force of the storm) Oh… (face becomes sad) What happened to everyone? Where are the…? (Stark cuts him off)

Stark: The others? Yeah they are great. (Suddenly there’s a voice from the hall)

Grimm: Hey! He’s up!? No way! Hey Sue ! C'mon Reed’s up!

Grimm enters in the room. He is a giant man that looks like cracked dried clay.

Reed: What!?! Ben…. you…. what happened?

Stark: Well….(Sucks his teeth) We have a few theories but!(pats Reed on his right shoulder) We’ve been waiting for the world’s best physicist to come to. So he can figure it out. ( He says with a giant smile on his face)

Reed sits silent a moment in thought.

Grimm: What’s wrong buddy?

Reed: How long have I been out?

Stark: Three weeks.

Reed: Oh man!

Sue Storm walks into the room at a fast paced walk. She looks at Reed and smiles. Suddenly her complexion began to turn translucent.

Reed: Sue you… Wow!!! So….. just from what I’ve seen from you two so far….. The particles of the storm must have changed our genetic makeup some how…. (He said beginning to fall into deep thought and put his right hand up to his chin)

Stark: These two aren’t the only ones. (Stark pulls up video on his phone and throws the video into the air in a high tech display for the entire room to see) Have a look at this. Hmmm

The video shows Richards asleep and he begins to toss and turn. He is having a nightmare. He begins to scream. His body still tossing and turning. Suddenly one of his arm stretches way out and knock a vase of flowers off the rooms sink counter top. Reed is astonished at the video.

Reed: This is amazing! I can’t wait to get to work!

Stark smiles

Stark: I was hoping you would say that.

Scene 2: Stark opens a rolling door to reveal a giant laboratory. Everything is top of the line. The counter tops are a finely polished steel. Nice computers everywhere. Stark is walking in front of the three.

Stark: This lab (Gesturing toward the room) is at your disposal. If you need ANYTHING. You let me know okay buddy? (He says as he puts his arm around Reed)

Reed: There is one thing. Where’s Johnny?

Grimm: Probably flirting with a nurse or something.

The group hears giggling and quiet conversation behind them. The group turns to see Johnny and a young blonde woman walking together. She kisses Johnny on the cheek and walks the other direction.

Stark: Orrrr… My assistant.

Johnny is walking toward the group with a big boyish smile.

Johnny: Hey Reed! Good to see you up and about. Reed: I guess the accident didn’t change you at all huh? Sue: (under her breath) If anything it’s made him worse. Johnny: Hey. C'mon there’s nothing wrong to get acquainted with a beautiful young woman. (Silent for a brief moment) It’s a business contact. Reed: (chuckles) Alright let’s get to work. (Reed walks deeper into the lab) Stark:(turning and walking out of lab) Great! I’ll call you in a few days to see how things are going. And Johnny…(looking back at Johnny) Don’t violate my entire female staff huh?

Johnny smiles.

Reed sitting at a computer chair next to a high tech Stark industries projected screen computer.

Reed: Okay Johnny…. (Looking at the trio) What can you do?

Johnny: Check this out! ( Johnny ignites himself. The flames begin to scorch the floor)

Reed,Sue,Grimm: (in unison) Johnny whoa!

Grimm: Hey man stop!

Johnny ceases with his fire

Johnny: Pretty sweet huh?

Scene cuts to a view over NewYork from an office in a skyscraper belonging to Oscorp. The sun is partially set. Norman Osborn was sitting at his desk writing out orders to be put in the next days memo. A gruff voice comes from the shadows.

Taskmaster: Why is it the owner of a giant corporation like Oscorp needs the skills of a mercenary like myself?

Osborn: (Continues writing) I have my reasons.

Taskmaster: Hmmm. Are your enemies so dangerous that you want to spend the big bucks on someone like myself?

Osborn: (quits writting, stands up and walks over toward Taskmaster) I have very many enemies that will surprise you. I am bringing you in on a very private goal of mine. I have the desire to take over New York and eventually the world…. in time. You fall in to this scheme with your skills in battle and ability to impersonate people. You will be my General. My right hand man. (Osborn begins walking over to a side wall with a few photos of him with various people of power and a painting of himself)

Taskmaster: Power and money always talk, but what makes you think I’ll follow you?

Osborn presses a button on his wristwatch that is on his right wrist. The wall receded into the floor, revealing the purple, green and gold green goblin suit along with the hoverboard he uses.

Taskmaster: (In awe of what he sees) Interesting.

Osborn: As you can see I have my reasons to believe that you will.

Scene 3: Back at the lab owned by Tony Stark. Reed and Sue are working on equations on Stark’s high tech computers to figure out what happened. Ben and Johnny are sitting on a couch in a living room type area watching t.v. Johnny already appears to be restless and bored.

Johnny: Ugghh! This sucks! Let’s go out for a pizza or something please!?

Reed: Johnny we just got started. We haven’t set up anything for experiments or anything yet. We need to know our limits…. What we can and can’t do.

Grimm: (Walking in from out of frame) I’m a giant piece of rock. (Points at Johnny) He’s a walking bon-fire. (Points at Sue) She’s can go streaking whenever she wants and you (pointing at Reed) are a rubber band.

Sue: (sounding tired) Ben.

Johnny: Hey! Why don’t we use our powers to help people? Like Tony does or that dude in Harlem or the Spider guy?

Then the tv cut to a breaking news story.

Female news anchor: We interrupt this program with an important news story. A group has broken into an Oscorp Pharmaceutical building. They call themselves the Wrecking Crew.

Johnny: Guys! This is it! We can stop those dudes.

Reed: Johnny, (sighs) look we don’t know what has happened to us. We need to better understand that…(Johnny grabs some keys off the table in the kitchen area)

Johnny: I’m goin.

Sue: Johnny wait!

Grimm: I’m goin too! Someone’s gotta look after him.

The scene changes to Johnny Storm pulling up outside the building on a street motorcycle. He saw a few police talking and got closer so he could hear.

Officer 1: what’s the situation.

Officer 2: suspects tripped an alarm that alerted a security guard. He went to investigate now they have him hostage and are trying to make demands.

Officer 1: Okay dont let anyone near the scene. I don’t want some rage induced vigilante coming in here and doing our job for us.

Johnny smiled and started walking away from the two officers toward a less busy section of the scene. Reed Richards, Sue Storm and Ben Grimm walk up. Grimm is hiding his complexion under a giant hoodie so he doesn’t draw attention.

Reed: Johnny let’s go. We have no business being here. We will only be inthe way.

Johnny: Oh no man. We can make a difference. You coming big guy? He said looking at Grimm.

Grimm: (smiles) Why not?

The two start sneaking off through the crime scene tape toward a side door in the alley way.

Sue: (playfully) I guess we need to go in and make sure they don’t get in too much trouble.

The other two follow into the alley way and into the building they go quietly.

Reed: (yelling in a whispered tone) Johnny we need a plan!

Johnny: Yeah go in an kick butt. What else is there too it? (Sarcastic)

The four reach the end of a dark hallway to a lit room where the Wrecking crew were surround with beekers and other experimental equipment seen in labs. The security guard was tied to a chair.

Thunderball: Gentleman, we have ourselves a conundrum.

Bulldozer: Hey man I ain’t even like that. (Looks at the other two members of the group) Y'all never said anything about doing that to a guy.

Thunderball: (sighs) Idiot. It means we have a problem. I said conundrum not condom. Now how are we gonna get out of this mess?

The four step into the light of the room.

Johnny: It’s easy. Either you give up or you get your butts handed to you and you go to jail anyway.

Thunderball: Hmmm. Interesting proposal. I see you haven’t been introduced to us. I am Thunderball. The big nit wit in the helmet is Bulldozer. The guy with the giant fists is Piledriver. Annd… The man over there with the crowbar is Wrecker. And you are???

Johnny: We are the ones that are gonna stop you enough said.

Thunderball: Ah I see. Well here’s how this is going to ACTUALLY go. You are going to step aside and we will go. The security guard won’t be hurt. No harm done.

Reed: Acutally that’s not how this will go. You have to answer for your crimes.

Thunderball: I know you. Your Reed Richards. I’ve read some of your papers on theories about other sustainable planets for life. How you back up your theories with physics is amazing. I love your work.

Bulldozer: Enough talk we’re busting outta here!

Bulldozer runs toward Grimm and Sue. Sue side steps and becomes invisible. Bulldozer crashes into Grimm’s rock like midsection and dents his helmet. Grimm chuckles.

Grimm: Didn’t even hurt! This is awesome!

Johnny: Whoo! We are doin this! Flame on!

Johnny ignites himself and rushes toward Piledriver. Piledriver rushes forward to attack Johnny.

Reed stretches out and wraps himself around Thunderball tying him up.

Thunderball: This is very impressive. What has happened to you? Are you inhuman?

Wrecker sneaks up behind Reed. He raises his crowbar to hit him but he gets hit in his head with a computer monitor. Sue then becomes visible again and smiles. Reed smiles affectionately back.

Johnny: Well that was easy.

Grimm: Yeah man. It wasn’t bad. I enjoyed clobberin these guys.

Reed: (pointing to an open metal cabinet.) Grab those extension chords. We will tie them up.

Sue untied the security guard.

Guard: Thank you guys. You were amazing.

The four exit the Oscorp Pharmaceutical building. Grimm is carrying the Wrecking Crew all tied together. The security guard walking beside them. Citizens on the opposite side of the do not cross tape began applauding. Reed looks over at Sue.

Reed:(Trying to be romantic) If I were to order me and you a pizza for the two of us? Would you do some late night research with me?

Sue: (Looks caringly with a smile at Reed. She lets out a giggle) I’d love to.

Scene: Norman Osborn’s office. The sun is setting. Giving the office a reddish tint. Several portions of the office are shrouded in shadows. Osborn is watching the news report on a big screen tv on the wall. Osborn is sitting behind his desk.

Reporter: I’m standing here in front of the Osborn Pharmaceutical building where there had been a break in. Four at the time unknown heroes had snuck in and stopped the burglary in it’s process. We now know it is famed scientists Reed Richards , Susan Storm, and pilots Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm. These Fantastic Four apprehended the group of criminals known as the Wrecking Crew and safely rescued the security guard from inside. Norman Osborn could not be reached for a comment at this time. Will this be a one time appearance of the Fantastic Four? Where did they get their powers? Are they inhuman? So many questions and few answers at this time.

Taskmaster: I see the Wrecking Crew have failed.

Osborn: Indeed however they provided enough of distraction for you to succeed didn’t they?

Taskmaster emerges from the shadows. And sets a jar of dust from the solar storm on the desk.

Taskmaster: How did you get your hands on this?

Osborn: When one has money and a fair amount of power. One can acquire remarkable things.

Taskmaster: So what’s our next move?

Osborn: Let’s lay low for a moment. See what this Fantastic Four do with their new found abilities.
