Things were not going well. The city was being destroyed and Earth's Mightiest Heroes were struggling to beat back the assailants. It had been months since the Sentinels fractured and you, L Marek, and Griffin were essentially cast out. You never had any intention of going back, but when Scott called you and begged you for your help, you decided you couldn't just abandon your old team, even if they had abandoned you first.

"We're not taking help from them." Adrian grumbled as an explosion rocked the city block the Sentinels were gathered on. "Oh... we're not?" Scott asked, realizing he may have messed up. Adrian and Grant both noticed the guilty look on Scott's face as a loud boom echoed off the buildings around them. "I'm sorry guys..." Scott gulped.

"What did you do?" Grant asked, glaring at Scott. Then you, flanked by Marek and Griffin walked out of the shadows. "Somebody called for help?" you smirked at Grant and then at Adrian. "We've got it under control." Adrian insisted as a building fifty yards away exploded.

"The whole city is on fire." Griffin pointed out, his expression clearly showing how unimpressed he is by the lukewarm welcome. "Yeah... it kind of is..." Scott nodded, looking between you and Steve. "Not helping pissant." Adrian glowered at Scott.
