Chapter 23 Home

The Freedom barely got secured when Mike felt the launch of the Archangel. he was pressed into the seat of the Freedom by the force of the launch.

*Ding* Quest completed. Celestial Being base waiting at Lagrange Point 3.

Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief. that battle was mentally and physically exhausting. Making his way to the bridge, he found the others in seats. Kitty and Forge had sat in the pilot chairs. Psylocke and Logan sat in the CIWS. All looked relieved to get out of the fight in one piece. Mike sat in the captions chair and gave the AI he named Veda, directions to go to Lagrange Point 3.

The others were understandably concerned about what to do now. Mike explained to them that he had a base at Legrange 3 and the relaxed a little. Logan spoke up. "You ain't going to roll over and let this slide are you bub?"

Mike smirked "What do you think would happen if footage of the attack was released to ever major news network, my lawyer filed suit to see their warrants both to attack and search private property and to operate in US soil." Mike paused before continuing. "Besides, the underground complex is secure with blast doors capable of holding back the freedom. By now, Stark Richards and Fury have also received their messages."

POV Stark

Tony was looking at the ball that had a computer built into it. "Hey Tony, if you're getting this, then something went wrong. I may be out of contact for a little while." The recording went on to explain the conspiracy that led to the attack as well as the names of the three behind it. He advised Tony to watch the news in the morning and asked Tony to borrow his lawyers to help Jennifer out. Tony was stunned, then he laughed. "That kid full of surprises."

POV Reed Richards

The Fantastic Four were sitting together when their Haro activated they wanted to help, but as Mike continued to speak, they found out his plan. Mike was going to make those Generals look like idiots. Mike asked the Fantastic 4 to help with the public when ot came out about the attack. To use their celebrity status to blow it up as big as possible. He also included a way to reach him in an emergency.

POV Fury

Fury sighed as the message from Mike played. He realized that those 3 alienated a genius and drove him into exile. It could not even count as a win in their books due to amount they lost. Even now the base was being heavily defended and would only result in more casualties. Mike might seem like a kid but damn he was ruthless when pushed.

POV Peter Parker

Peter was surprised when the ball that he got opened up to a message for him. "Hey Pete I know you haven't given me an awnser yet but something came up. If you decide to accept please go to Stark International and mention me. Ask either Tony Stark or Pepper Potts for the password. In this Haro, you will find the projects my company is developing. Hopefully this will be resolved soon see you later my friend."

POV ????????????

"On today's news, has the government gone too far. We have footage of multiple attacks on a school. The first claimed to be enforcing the Mutant Registration Act that was repealed and revoked close to a year ago. " The footage then cut to Trask calling for the mutants to surrender and threatening them with Sentinels. Followed by the Freedom swooping in and saving the day.

"The second attack was in retaliation for the first attack failing." It showed the Sentinals threatening the Manor again when the Freedom showed the military revealed themselves. Once again the Freedom coming out victorious.

" Our third video is a bit different, it shows a military attack on a private company, once more on US soil." The video started with the DOD suit identifying himself and continued with the bombings and attack by clearly identifiable US military forces as once again the Freedom fought back. eventually escaping into space.

"Department of Defense and the State Department have declined comment at this time. Jennifer Walters representing Morganrote, the company that was attacked, has issued a statement that when the courts open, she will be submitting a FOIA request for any warrants that were issued before the attack as well as for a copy of Congressional and Presidental approval for the military to operate on US soil."

POV Amanda Waller

"I told you not to kick that hornets nest," She said to the three in front of her. "You were outplayed by a kid!" The three looked like ghosts, their faces getting paler with each news story. As it stands, they would be lucky to be dishonorably discharged they were facing serious prison time.

The three then got the bright idea to threaten her to get her to help cover the debacle up. "No, I have on record me advising you against this. Pointing out the legal ramifications and you three dismissing me, no, I'm going to sit back and watch you 3 crash and burn."

POV Watchtower.

The Justice League was monitoring the archangels trajectory as it left the earth. Senior members of the league were discussing sending a team to secure it. Batman stopped them, pointing out that they were well outside US territory and the ship kept going away from earth. Superman gave his friend. Batman figured his question and responded, "Kid hasn't done anything wrong, whatever my personal feelings are he defended his home against unlawful search and seizure. Not our mess to clean up."

Wonder Woman was wondering if such a powerful figure could be convinced to join them. Martian manhunter was worried that they were headed in the general direction of Mars. Eventually they came to a consensus that they would monitor the Archangel for now.

POV Mike

"Welcome to Legrange Point 3" Mike said proudly as an unassuming asteroid appeared in the viewpoint. The four mutants looked at him in confusion. "Watch this," Mike responded as hidden hanger Bay doors opened, allowing the Archangel to dock in a massive hanger easily big enough for 10 to 15 ships of her size. "Welcome home guys." Mike said proudly," Let's gonlook around"
