Earth-4634

Maximus Boltagon unleashed the Terrigensis Cloud exterminating all Mutants on Earth. Blackagar Boltagon and the rest of the Royal Family tried to reign in the exponentially increasing population. Blackagar and the entire Royal Family were killed in battle. Maximus Boltagon the last surviving member of the Royal Family took command of the Inhumans. His first decree was the execution of all Inhuman responsible for the death of his family. His second decree was any Inhuman who didn't fall in line was to be tortured to death. Once he had the Inhumans thoroughly under his thumb he used them to begin the take over of the Earth.

The Timebroker summons his Exiles to the Command Center.

"A strange phenomenon has occurred on Earth-4634. The Inhumans are on the verge of taking over the Earth. The Mutant population is already extinct. You are being sent to back up any resistance and ultimately liberate the populace." He handed a Tallus to each one. "This is a Tallus. This is how you will communicate with each other and your allies on the various Earths you visit. Also, this is how you will travel back and forth from the Crystal Palace. Your first stop is preprogrammed into it as well as the location of the Crystal Palace. If you lose it or break it you will be stuck wherever you are. They will be tied to your DNA and vibrational frequencies. So only you and you alone can use it, not even an alternate reality twin can use it because each alternate universe vibrates at a different frequency. If you are experimented upon and your DNA is altered too much you will be stuck wherever you are. That being said there is a saying on my Earth, nemo resideo, it means leave no one behind."

The Timebroker used his own Tallus to open a portal to 4634.

Rien now understood why she was asked to bring along only two hazmat suits. She handed one to Bennet. She took her Tallus and strapped it to her left arm. She could feel a needle puncture her arm. She figured that was how it collected the necessary DNA to lock it to her. She also surmised every time it came off it would do it again to verify she was the appropriate user. She then put her hazmat suit on she then stepped through.

Peggy rolled up her right sleeve and strapped the Tallus onto her arm. She was glad that Tony equipped her physical shield and energy shield with electromagnets so they could be worn on the same arm. She stepped through the portal. The first thing she saw was Avengers tower or rather what was left of the toppled over building. "The logo is the same?"

Bennet took the device. Even after the short time that he had been here, the technology was all still so foreign to him. The last real thing he remembered before his fight with the white skinned mutant he'd been told was named Sinister, they were still using swords and horses as their primary technology. He took the Tallus and stuck it onto his left forearm, feeling it lock onto his extended limb. The old crusader looked it over, curious how something that looked like an extravagant vambrace could allow them to travel through time and space and also allow them to communicate with one another. Strange times...

He accepted the offered hazmat suit and began to pull it on. "What do we need this for?"

"As a mutant, you are vulnerable to the exact same thing that caused the mutants of this Earth to become extinct. So you need it to stay alive."

"The..." he tried to search for the correct name, "Terrigen Mists was it?" he said before donning his helmet and locking it into place. He wondered idly if he could use his telekinesis to keep it at bay, but it was dangerous to simply try it. If there was an accident though, if his suit was ripped...

Bennet stepped through the portal and joined the rest of his team, looking around himself to get his bearings. He'd never been to NYC before. It didn't even exist in the time that he was from. No one had even been to this part of the world when he had been born. He looked to Rien and Peggy. "Who are we making contact with?" They would look incredibly out of place, he thought, so it would likely be a good idea for them to get off the streets.

Peggy pointed to the fallen tower with the giant A inside a circle. "That is the home of the Avengers. They would have been my first choice. They may still be around, just not in that building. It is still our best shot. On my world, there were quite a few teams that didn't rely solely on Mutants, the Avengers & the Fantastic Four are the most prominent both based out of NYC." She took off her energy shield. "If those hazmat suits rip you can die. Take this and press this button it erects a forcefield." She handed it to Bennet. "If something happens leave it to me at least until we can find you some better protection or an inoculation." She began heading towards the Avengers tower.

She started on the bottom floor of Avengers Towers. She figured that Tony would prepare for something like this and had a secret basement. "Look around if this world's Tony is anything like mine he would more than likely prepared a secret basement bunker, not that mine ever showed me his. He did have contingency plans for every scenario and s suit of armor for every situation sometimes more than one for exact same situation. So look for anything that might lead to a secret bunker." She started looking around.

"I'll use my sorcery for protection." She followed Peggy into the base of Avengers tower. She sat down in the exact middle of the lobby. She began chanting in French, her voice barely above a whisper. After several minutes she stands up. "If there is something here it is mystically protected beyond my capabilities. If that is the case then finding it by looking and touching will be impossible."

Suddenly the floor underneath of her started to rumble and rise up. Several Iron Man armors poured out, pointing their hands at the intruders with their repulsors glowing. In a very robotic tone, they spoke all at once. "You have two minutes to surrender." One of them motioned for Rien to get down. Rien jumped down. She put her hands up.

She thought back to her time on the Avengers specifically Tony's protocol names on her own Earth. "Execute Party Pooper Protocol." The Iron Man armors all shut down. "HA! Tony's still got jokes. Rhodes must hate that." Something just dawned on her all of sudden. "Tony's protocols were all voice recognition and had to be an authorized user, and he only authorized his family and closest friends. That means the Rien of this Earth was very close with Tony." Rien became very disgusted at that thought. "Disgusting."

He took the offered device. "I am capable of creating a forcefield around myself, but I do not yet understand the extent of my abilities." It was a little awkward being so unfamiliar with what he was capable of doing. His fight with the one called Sinister had taught him a lot of what he could do after being transformed by En Sabah Nur. He felt like a bit of a liability to his teammates at the moment. "I can search for anyone telepathically," he said and prepared to thrust his consciousness down into the depths of the building in hopes of making contact with any living things down below. Suddenly the ground shook and the earth sprung up seemingly of its own free will and several steel armored soldiers leveled some sort of weapon at them. Bennet clenched his fists and prepared to defend himself and his teammates against what must certainly be some sort of mistake. They had come here to rescue these people. Then, they just shut down. "What is this?" Bennet said confused.

"These are Iron Man armors." Rien picked a helmet off one. Rien showed the empty helmet off to Bennet. "Usually Tony Start wears them. On occasion, he has been known to employ them like this. He usually refers to it as his House Party Protocol he seems to have modified the protocol for security." She stuck the helmet on her head it turned on. "It's verifying the user." She hated having her eyes scanned like that. "What the hell? It seems the Rien of this world is also known as Mrs. Stark. Give me a moment with this helmet."

Peggy looked inside the armor without a helmet. "Never seen one without Tony or Rhodes in it. Weird. Though it does look comfortable with that padding." She looked down the hole the armors came out of. She pulled a flashlight out of her belt. She jumped into the hole. She looked around. "Bennet, Rien the only thing down here is a recharging station for those armors."

Peggy climbed out of the hole. "I was thinking. Iron Man armors are hermetically sealed and provide their own oxygen to the wearer. What if the two of you wear one of these armors? You will be safe and you will be able to fight."

The ancient mutant looked at the helmet and then peered down inside the suit to which it had belonged. He was aghast but not shocked to find that it was empty. It was strange technology indeed that made these metal men move like they had, with such dangerous potential. "I wore a suit of steel across my back and chest when I marched into the Holy Lands, much different than these obviously... I think perhaps donning these could be a last resort." Bennet stepped away from the suit and looked at the both of them. "Perhaps I could use my mind to search below this structure?"

“Using this Earth’s Rien’s access to the Stark Database I have found four possible spots they could be hiding out.” Three of the five armors power up and fly below radar range. They were programmed to land near to the three of the four potential hiding spots, they are not going directly there because if they did it could lure Inhumans to them and wipe them out. Rien erected a mystical barrier. She stripped off the hazmat suit. She then got in the armor. “This one is referred to as Blue Steel.” She dropped the mystical barrier.

“Follow me.” She left the final armor for Bennet to use if he so chose. “We are going to the one that is closest.”

Peggy followed after Rien. This was to easy. She felt like they were heading into a trap. She kept it to herself. She kept constantly looking around for danger. Upon arrival in Central Park you could see it looked more like a wasteland than the beautiful park it once was. As soon as they were in the middle of what used to be the lake the ground opened up beneath them. They fell down.

When Peggy looked up she had a gun in her face. She looked past the gun to the person pointing it at her. “Steve!” Steve looked puzzled. “We are from another universe. We were sent her to help.” She stood up. She was taller than Steve. “The one in the Iron Man armor is a Mutant known as Rien. The one in the hazmat suit is a Mutant known as Bennet. Is it safe down here for for Mutants?” Steve holstered his gun and indicated for the rest to do the same. “The Terrigen that killed of all the mutants dissipated months ago. So I take it on your Earth something happened and you were forced to step up to become the Super Soldier in my place Peggy.” Peggy put her arms around Steve. “It’s good to see you Steve, even if you aren’t mine.”

Steve led them to the central chamber and into their interrogation room. “The only surving Avengers are Yellow Jacket, Wasp, Hulk, & Captain Marvel. Tony retired from active duty after he was paralyzed. The rest are dead. No one knows what happened to Thor he returned home and has never been seen since. Tony can walk using the lower half of his armor but he can’t fight anymore. He’ll want to see you Rien even if you are not the one he knows. Wait here Tony will come by shortly.” Steve left to go get Tony.

Bennet had no frame of reference for how any of this should actually look, but he'd seen war torn countries before, had participated in destroying cities personally. The conquerors of this world wouldn't have much to stand on when they were done, not much more than a pile of ashes.

When they fell, Bennet was quick to react and try to arrest their fall, cushioning their drop into the unknown with his telekinesis. "Watch it..." he says as he prevents them from being hurt on the ground beneath them. When Rogers appeared, he noticed that there was some sort of familiarity between the two, at least that both sides of the situation knew each other in their own worlds. As new as he was to all of this, Bennet didn't even know who Captain America was.

While Peggy and Steve were talking Rien ran some scans. “This armor grants me access to all Stark Tech. I tapped into his satelliites. Not as many as I would have thought, evidence some were destroyed. Anyway, I was able to confirm what Steven said is true, the atsmospehere is no longer harmful to mutants.” Rien got of of the armor.

She hadn’t been out of the armor for more than a minute or two when a very emotional Tony came into the room hugging her. “I’ve missed you so much.” Before he could say more Rien pushed Tony off of her. She knew the pain he was in, was going to be in, so she was gentle, well as gentle as she could be. “I am not the Rien you knew. I am sorry for your loss.” Tony wiped his eyes. “Steve told me.” He sat down on a chair. “If you are here to help retake the planet, you are to late. The Earth will not be able to support life for much longer. Human population is down to a mere handful from the best my satellites can tell the humans in this base are all that is left. The Inhumans have won. The planet is theirs. It’s been months since we seen one. We built a ship it had thousands on it and the best stealth tech I could build and the Inhumans destroyed it like it was nothing. First shot. Our only chance of survival is on another world or another universe. We don’t have the technology to build another ship, not that we could defend it. We don’t have the technology to build an interdimensional portal.”

“I can’t guarantee our boss will agree to help in that way. We don’t know him that well yet. We can ask. I can help you personally. Take me to your medical facilities.” Rien and Tony left.

Right after Tony left Steve came back. He motioned them to follow him. They entered the command center. Peggy recognized it right away as the command center of a Helicarrier. “Doubtlessly Tony has told you the human race is all but extinct. We are currently planning several scenarios to strike and descive and final blow to the Inhumans. Hopefully do to them what they did to us. Not something I would codone but with no future to look forward to and nothing but starving to death as the best possible way to die, the unthinkable is becoming palatable.”

Peggy slammed her fist on a table. “Absolutely not. When the end is nigh and you are desperate is when you cling to your principles the most dearly. Mass murder no matter the circumstance is never palatable no matter the situation.” She walks over to Captain America’s broken shield hanging on the wall. She throws it to him as well as a flash drive. “Tell Tony to fix your shield using the plans on that drive.” Steve looked at the drive it said Arc Shield. “Recall every one of Tony’s armors. Turn them into Humanity’s Shield.” She turned to Bennet. “Do whatever you can to help. Help in the medical facilities, distribute food, whatever they need. If the Inhumans attack give them hell. Take no prisoners. Follow any battlefield commands Steve gives you. I am going to get them off this dying world whether the Timebroker agrees or not.” She then used her Tallus to leave.

Abruptly, a young man was present.

..."Young" was relative, of course.  His clothes and technology hid him a bit, but as the atmosphere was safe, at least the hood or helmet covering his face retracted.

"Uh, hi," he said.  "I'm Blackeye.  And this is Earth?  Woah.  It's been a while."

Lights flickered on his collar as sensors analyzed the area he was in; his black eye, in turn, glittered and glowed throughout the golden veins without it.

"So, Earth.  Avengers.  Something about Inhumans.  And, well, did I hear a proposal for mutual annihilation as the next move?  That... that's a lot to go with.  Can we consider a different plan here?"

He was disoriented from all the abrupt changes in his situation, but there ought to be a better way.  And if he could stop the Earth from being destroyed this time... well, that would be good, too.

Kind of like closure.
