Chapter 60 Situation Report

POV Max

Location: Midtown Highschool

I sat in class listening to the latest conversations between my fellow students which so happens to be about my costume counterpart and his fight with the Juggernaut.

Flash: "I mean did you see that huge tornado he blasted the guy with" Flash Thompson and his group of meatheads continued to go over that battle but unlike others, they were more vocal about their observations.

Harry: "Flash there probably isn't a person on the east coast that saw it now calm down the teacher will be here any minute." he warned and the large blond did as asked while his friends left to get to their classrooms but I barely paid them any mind as I watch the X-Men fake studying and what I new was having a psychic conversation as they all took small glances at one another.

[You should hurry to pick a location for your Hideout soon]

'Mount justice or blackjack island, or Monster Island' were the choices I had come down to when taking with Tron. At first, I had considered just turning some abandoned warehouse or subway station into my Hideout but four soon-to-be-six reasons stopped me from picking those choices.

'They need space to grow and I can't keep them in my house forever' someone eventually is going to notice them, especially in the city that never sleeps it was a miracle nothing like that had happened so far.

[I would suggest taking monster Island off the list for the possible danger to the little ones while you are away and other problems that make it unsuitable]

'Alright that leaves black hawk island and Mount Justice' both had space for the kids and already had a built-in base that was abandoned well for all I knew that is.

[With the possibility of other parties knowing of either I would suggest black hawk island as your hideout location as Mount Justice is well known as a base for superheroes and is near a city unlike black hawk island]

I nodded my head tapping my pen on my desk and looking through the system for anything I wanted as classes continued as normal until lunch.

In the cafeteria, I sat with the X-Men the table across from us were the spiders and their group of friends.

Harry: "The rumor is that the group were mutants" Harry sat at the end of the table having the attention of those who heard even though I couldn't help be listen in more closely.

Gwen: "And how did you hear about this rumor about mutants" Gwen raised a suspicious eyebrow, publicly mutants were seen as a rarity with some reports saying there was 2℅ chance of a child being born a mutant and some estimates saying that there was less than few thousand spread across the world.

Harry: "Happened to listen in on one of my father's meetings with some investors." I raised an eyebrow at that info wondering what the future green goblin was doing.

Peter: "Why does it matter if they were mutants or not they helped stop the Juggernaut with Nightfury so why does it matter?." Mary Jane nodded her head in agreement but Flash shook his head.

Flash: "I thought you were supposed to be smart Parker from what I saw those mutants were about to get stomped until the real hero stepped in and pulled them out of the fire" I heard the murmurs of agreement.

Kitty: "Yeah let's just ignore the psychic who brought him down," she said under her breath but I easily heard what she said Scott put a hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"Does it matter who did what in the end the bad guy was put away," I said only loud enough for the X-Men to hear me.

Jean: "So Max what do you think about mutants" I look up at Jean and shrug my shoulders

"I don't know it depends on the person I'm not going to judge an entire group based on the actions of a few but in general I don't have a problem with mutants." that got a couple of slight nods from them and I continued eating my lunch.

(Hours later)

Location: Atlantic Ocean

I was flying over the ocean with blue eyes wings and tail sprouting from my back looking for the island I wanted to make my new base, after a while I finally found the island it's past us as a military facility clear but it's been abandoned for a long time.

The island was mostly flat with covered in a thick forest with the only indication of its past military history being the large rusting radio tower and the overgrown airfield that split the island into four, in the thicker of the forest were what looked like overgrown barracks on another side a large metal door on one of the islands cliff sides that looked like some kind of docks the only other feature of the island was the one mountain with two large metal doors at its base.

(image)

I landed just outside the large metal doors leading to inside the mountain looking at the ground I could make out the airstrip.

'Must be some kind of hanger bay for the aircraft' looking around I found a steel door with a sign above it 'Pilot's Only' I reach for the handle finding the door locked. but I just rip the door off its hinges and place it to the side.

Entering inside confirmed my hypothesis inside was a large hanger it was semi-empty and covered in dust all that was inside was abandoned tools and semi-completed aircraft left to rust the Blackhawk logo painted at the end of the hanger where I saw other doors.

"Ok tron how do I use this thing?" I took out the [instant hidout] it looked like a smooth metal cylinder about the size of a soda bottle.

[Place the cylinder in the war room which should be through the door on the right at the end of the hanger]

Following Tron's direction, I came into a large room with multiple desks and broken or off monitors surrounding a large circular table in the middle.

[Place the cylinder in the middle of the center console]

Doing as told I placed the cylinder down straight up after a moment nothing happened then the top popped off and multiple little lights come out and started to scan everything in the room some went up into the rafter others went into air vents and flew past me into the hallway.

"Ah, Tron what's going?"

[I am beginning the process of scanning and cataloging the items of this outpost then selling all unneeded items for point then using said point to renovate and customize this base to your liking]

"So the settlement system from fallout 4?"

[Essentially]

"So how long is this going to take?"

[Possibly 4 days at most a week and a half.]

"Why the difference?"

[Accounting for possible trouble and missions you might accept.] I chuckled nervously at that [And the most efficient method to complete this process is for me to stay and oversee it]

"Ok, but the system will still work without you with me right?"

[Correct]

"Ok then see you in a couple of days"

POV 3rd person

Location: Japan incomplete containment site

Outside the city of Tokyo, Japan could be seen an incomplete Dome around a large cave many Defence forces and S.H.E.I.L.D agents patrolling the area large construction equipment labeled "DAMAGE" rolled past. A helicopter is heard making a landing and three people are waiting at the landing pad, once the helicopter landed out came two recognized individuals one wearing a blue jumpsuit with a "4" on his chest the other an eye patch with a long black trench coat.

???: "Director Fury Dr. Richards I am honored to welcome you to Containment site Hannah."

Fury: "Reed Richards let me introduce Dr.Ishirō Serizawa and the new Director of Monarch" the two shack hand and exchange greetings

Serizawa: "So I can assume you are here for an update on Titanus Ophiophagus" that got a raised eyebrow from Fury.

Reed: "It means-"

Fury: "King Cobra I speak Latin and we're not here just for the snake," they began to walk towards the main tent where many were at work monitoring the sleeping Titan and the environment around it.

Reed: "We would like an update on the situation considering containment" a young woman with the group chuckled only to receive a shoulder check from a young man next to her noticing the eyes on them.

Serizawa: "The situation from an optimistic point of view I would use the phrase unstable," he said turning towards the two as they entered what was a private office for the director.

???: "From a realistic point of view the situation is completely untenable" she got another jab from the young man but she just jabbed him back.

Reed: "And who might you two be?"

Serizawa: "These are some of my closest colleagues and advisers Sam Colman our technical expert and senior engineer," Sam quickly shook the hands of the two "And Ilene Chen our senior mythographer and Titan researcher" she gave a quick bow to the two.

Chen: "But as I was saying you said you wanted an update on the situation, the situation is we can not contain the Titans"
