We have a plan!

Staying just offshore of New York city’s harbour, the helicarrier hovered over the bay, keeping an eye on the nightmare the city had been turned into about an hour ago. Standing on the flight deck and looking out onto the city in front of them, the many versions of Susan Storm looked out to the black twisting spires and jagged towers of the city while clouds of bats and other frightful creatures swarmed overhead. The skies were made permanently cloudy and dark, obscuring any sunlight from peering down on the dreary citadel.

Nearby, the Canoness crouched to one knee with her hands folded over her chest, muttering a prayer.

“Can anyone see what’s going on out there?” Asked the Invisible Woman, feeling a cold shiver go up her spine to see her home city turned into something akin to some dark castle from a fantasy setting.

“I can see everything.” Answered the tall cybertronian woman, resting her hands at her sides with a tilt of her hip as her eyes narrowed looking over the entire city. Unlike the others, she could focus her vision to zoom in on every event playing out in front of her as if she had binoculars. Everywhere she looked was just one shade of horror after the other. Where shadows came to life and chased people in the streets and the eavesdrops poured scolding hot blood down into the sidewalks from the gapping maws of stone gargoyle or the screaming statues and monuments that once stood tall and proud, now twisted into poses of agony. She could see SOME heroes out there trying for dear life to keep people safe in that hellscape, but they were fighting a losing battle against a growing tide of madness and chaos. “If you want an idea of what’s going on out there, let’s just say I’m grateful I don’t have the capacity to throw up anymore.”

“Well… At least we have a plan to get in without a problem.”

Looking behind her to the Fantasticar being prepped for launch, the rest of the Susans gathered while still under the supervision of the SHIELD guards who kept a watchful eye. Stepping out of a latched door with Nick Fury and a group of other SHIELD representatives, Susan’s doppleganger was with them with a fresh change of clothes and a complete make over thanks to the team of specialists on the ship who had done wonders to change her appearance. The pale skinned woman waltzed down the flight deck in a black silk dress that form fit around her slim and curvaceous figure that exposed her long legs and thighs, with matching heeled shoes and elbow long silk black gloves that accentuated the look. her long platinum blonde hair billowed in the wind as she raised her chin in a haughty grin back at the others, her every step graceful and regal with a hint of predatory cockiness… Before the act fell like a house of cards and the woman wrung her hands together with a childish grin back at her sisters.

“So? What do you think?” Asked the model, spinning on her heal and posing for the other Susans who watched the woman show off her new appearance, having taken on the look of her vampiric counterpart almost to a tee. “Do I make the cut? Tell me I look just like her, they even gave me acrylic fangs.” Exposing her teeth, she showed the fake fangs off and gave a playful hiss with her hands brandished as claws.

“I’ll let you know if they’re looking for a replacement actress to play Elvira; Mistress of the Dark.”

Making a scrunched-up face, the pale skinned woman crossed her arms and huffed in annoyance, followed by the others smirking as they all proceeded to the Fantasticar.

Seeing them off, Nick Fury extended his hand to the Invisible Woman to wish her good luck. “Are you sure you don’t want a few of my men with you? Give you some muscle to deal with those two holding your family and the city hostage?”

Shaking her head, Susan looked back out to the city and back to Fury. “They have the power to manipulate space and matter Fury, if you show up, they’ll just turn you into a puff of cloud or a flock of birds. At least they are expecting HER to come back with ME as her prize.”

“I don’t like taking chances Miss Storm, I’d rather have some insurance that you can clean up the mess you made.”

“Believe me Director, I know myself pretty well to know what I’m getting into. I can prepare for what my worse selves can throw at me, just wish me and my family luck.”

“We’re ALL ready!” Called out the succubus from inside the Fantasticar, gathering everyone up, they all proceeded into the vehicle to make their way into New York. Looking over her shoulder to look up at the towering autoboot of a woman, the wendigo crouched to enter the blue vehicle and call out from the door.

“Not sure how you are gonna fit, maybe if you transformed into a crate or something.”

“don’t worry, I got that covered.” Crouching herself and jumping into the air into a back flip, the 12-foot-tall robotic woman quickly began to twist and change, her components rearranging until a pair of propeller blades unfolded and began to spin rapidly, creating a downdraft strong enough to keep her new helicopter mode up in the air and hover, waiting for the fantasticar to take to the air and follow it back into the city.

Taking their seats, it didn’t go unnoticed by Susan and the others that the former sex-**** was still clutching to the empathy ray like it was a comforter or teddy bear, the woman still and silent the entire time. Resting a hand on the woman’s shoulder, the woman looked up and gave a weak smile, one Susan reciprocated as she made her way to the controls.

“Don’t worry, we’re going to get our loved ones back, we’re going to save the city.”

Taking off from the flight deck, the fantasticar and helicopter flew out towards the city from the bay in the hopes of facing the two responsible for all of this.
