California, USA
One week ago, Friday:
Kate approached a small high school in a suburb of Las Angeles California. The small town looked quite strange with the back drop of the LA sky line just behind the small quaint school.
According to her research, this was Anya Corazon’s new home town since her father was killed while she was working with Webcorps. That put her over the edge, she gave up on being the hunter, and decided to take it easy for a while. She was staying with her Great Aunt Hope, her grandmother’s sister. Kate wasn’t really sure if Anya would agree to return to the hero business or not, but she could always try.
Anya herself wasn’t actually in the Failsafe program, but from what Kate had read, she’d make a way better addition to it over this May “Mayday” Parker chick. Kate had tried to research her too, but couldn’t find a thing. The only thing was that she was the daughter of Spider-man, and some girl named Mary Jane. The only problem was that Mary Jane was dead, so the program must be wrong. Kate figured it probably had to do with some kind of future altering thing. They seemed to happen a lot with the Avengers.
In any case, she was here to find Ms. Anya Corazon, who called herself Arana. It was 3:31, school let out at 3:30 so her watch must have been fast. A few seconds passed, and finally the bell rang. With in moments, hundreds of kids came rushing out of the school, only one of which was sporting a big blue spider tattoo on her right arm.
“Anya!” Kate yelled into the crowd, “Anya!”
“Yeah? Who are you?” she replied.
“Hi I’m Kate Bishop, Hawking-gale of the Young Avengers. I was wondering if I might be able to talk to you?”
“Ahh.. sure, we can go back to my Aunt Hope’s house.”
The girls walked about 2 blocks down the street, and Anya explained to Kate that she no longer had the hunter, or rather the hunter no longer had her. However, she had somehow managed to keep her speed, agility, and all that other good stuff when it left her. She also explained that Webcorps had taked her equipment when she quit, but that she had managed to steal it back. By this time, they had arrived at Aunt Hope’s, and were sitting in the basement that anya had turned into an apartment like bedroom.
“So have you done anymore heroing since you left Webcorps?” Kate asked, sipping the lemonade that Hope had brought them both.
“Not really. I spend most of my time doing school work, IMing my friends back in New York, and doing some gymnastics, and other training with Aunt Hope.”
“You train with her? She’s gotta be like 53!”
“55 actually. She was a former operative of Webcorps too, so she’s in excellent shape. She’s all for me becoming a hero again, I’m just too lazy to be honest haha. Plus not much happens here, and on the one attempt I made to stake out a robber, I got lonely and quit.”
“Well, then maybe you’ll like my little offer! Right now I’m recruiting for a Young Avengers West team, and I’d like for you to lead it, and help me get some more members.”
“I think it’s a marvelous idea,” Hope said, as she walked down the bottom half of the stairs, “Being a member of the Avengers is quite an honor in the hero world!”
“Aunt Hope, have you been eavesdropping?” Anya said, in a happy-go-lucky kind of tone.
“Well….yes. Anya, I think it’s a wonderful idea though. You would be leading The Avengers of the future. You’d go down in history!”
“Well it’s not really about the glory, but I think I accept”
“Wonderful!” Kate exclaimed, “Now this team will need some financial backing, and I think I have just the guy. We should go meet him tomorrow night.”
“Kate, do you have a place to stay the night?” Anya asked.
“I was just going to get a hotel room, actually.”
“Oh nonsense, you can stay here with us! I’ll get you some blankets. Anya, pull out the other Murphy bed, so Kate can get set up.”

The next evening:
“Well this is it! I didn’t expect for this place to be THIS huge. I really should have seen this coming. He’s a relative of the Black Panther, King of Wakanda, so he must have some money,” Kate said as she approached the huge gates in front of the enormous estate. She was soaking wet from the pouring rain. “So should I ring the bell…or just let ourselves in?”
“I’ll take option two!” Anya said, as she scaled the fence, just beyond the guards station, with Kate not far behind.“You’d think that if these people are supposed to be guarding royalty they’d be paying attention rather then watching reruns of Roseanne on Nick at Night.”
As they crossed the lawn, Kate saw the single beam of a flash light come her way. She grabbed Anya’s arm, and dodged into one of the many bushes throughout the sprawling grounds, narrowly missing the beam.
“Dang, I must be loosing my touch,” Kate said, as she watched the guard turn, and walk the other way. “Lets just hope that’s all these people have got coming.”
“So are you coming or not?” Anya said, as she took off towards the huge brick wall covered in Ivy.
“Ok, so you know what we’ve gotta do right?” Kate whispered, as they stepped up to the wall.
“Well if those blueprints you got from that ‘Vision’ fellow you know are right, all we gotta do is climb up to the top window.”
“Right…so how is it we’re going to get up there?”
“Leave that to me,” Anya said, as she took one of the large spider shaped grapple off of her belt, and through it up the wall. “Here, clip this to you belt, it’ll pull us up”
Kate did as she was told, and Anya popped two small wheels out of the bottom of both of her shoes, put one foot on the wall, and tugged on the rope. As the rope coiled back into the spider mechanism, it pulled Anya up as her wheels rolled across the wet surface, and Kate ran up the side of it.
“So this guys name is Nezhno?” Anya said. They had gotten about halfway up the side of the building.
“Yea, he’s The Black Panther’s Nephew, and his dad owns the world’s largest vibranium dealer.”
“Well then he’ll definitely be able to handle the financial backing”
The two girls were pulled up a little further, and ended on a large balcony in front of a large set of glass doors.
“Well I guess we should knock,” Kate said, as she rapped her fist against the window three times.
The shadow of a tall, bald, athletic built male approached the window, and opened it.
“Who are you. Explain yourselves, or I will call my guards,” Said the you African boy, with silver markings allover his body.
“Whoa whoa whoa, hold you horses there little man, we’re just here to talk,” Anya replied as she stepped forward, and rested her hand on his shoulder.
“I’m Kate Bishop, and this is Anya Corazon. I run the Young Avengers, and she is the new leader of the Young Avengers West.”
“If you are a leader, where are you followers?” Nezhno asked, as he looked down from the balcony.
“Well technically I don’t have any yet…you wanna join my little team?”
“Why would I want to join this ‘Young Avengers West’ you speak of. What would I do for the team?”
“Well back at the main team, I’m the financial backer since my dad’s rich, so you would be that for them. Plus, according to Failsafe, the program that makes a list of people related to the Avengers to replace the Avengers in the future, you are our version of the Black Panther, which I understand since you’re his nephew, and War Machine, which I’m totally lost on.” Kate said, as they all stepped out of the rain, into the enormous bedroom.
“This War Machine, he wears a suit of armor, am I right?” Nezhno asked, as he pored himself a cup of hot tea, and sat in front of the fireplace.
“Yeah, I think. Why?” Anya replied, as she bent over in front of the fireplace, and shook her hair out to dry it.
“Well that must be the connection. I’m a mutant, and I can connect with technology placed on my skin, and make it part of myself.”
“That must be it. In any case, do you accept?” Kate asked, leaning forward in her seat, towards Nezhno.
“Why no? All I do here is watch TV. I’ve been so bored, I’ve done all of my school work up to graduation, which is in three years haha.”
“Ok, so tomorrow we go to Meet Gloria, and Gale Knight. They are somehow connected to either Flamebird, the Black Knight, Cloak, or Dagger. Nezhno, I’d really like it for you to come with us so it looks more like we have an actual team, if that’s ok,” Kate said as she stood with Anya, and walked back toward the balcony.
“I’ll come, but shouldn’t I get some kind of armor, or something if I’ll be the new War Machine?”
“Yeah, we’re gonna break into Stark Enterprise West, and steal the plans for his newest equipment after we get a team together,” Anya said, as she threw another grapple from the balcony to a tree just across the street from the gate.
“Wow you can really hurl that thing,” said Kate, as she grabbed the pulley from her belt, and put it over the line, and swung down, and rode it across the street.
“Wait, what do you mean steal the plans?” Nezhno asked, as Anya popped the wheels from her shoes.
“Yeah, we’re gonna break in, and steal em’, and let your dad’s scientists make it out of vibranium. C’ya,” She yelled, as she jumped up, bounced off of the railing back the the side of the house, and bounced back, and landed on the rope, and rode across it with the wheels from her shoes.”

Now:
“Ok, so we’ve got the blue prints, now to make the plan,” Kate said, talking to the 6 young people standing in a circle around a set of blueprints.
“All right leave that to me,” Anya spoke up, “Ok so I want Nezhno, Gloria, and Xavin to go in the front and distract security. Then Mar, I want you to use you whole electrical discharge thingy, and blow some fuses. Mainly the lights, and cameras. Then Gale, you shrowd yourself, me, and Kate in darkness, and slip past the guards…”
